Tropica substrate in the US?
I really want to use the Tropical substrate under Black Diamond in my new tank. My issue is trying to find some! I found some in the UK, but shipping to the States was outrageous. 3 liters was going to be just over $100 shipped!
Has anyone seen this for sale in the US? I see Big Al's carries the fertilizers, but that's it.
I think I can accomplish the same thing for much cheaper with some laterite and some peat granules. I can get these at PetsMart or Petco too. I understand that it won't take much, I just want to jump start the substrate.
I was also planning on putting some Flourish tabs under it as well.

The Skipping Beat of My Heart
|Watch this

How do? :]
I've been away from these boards for several weeks now. I wasnt a frequent poster though, but perhaps a few of you have read my posts. Just wanted to say that I'm feeling MUCH better. I pretty much have gastritis in a headlock. There are times were I feel anxious (at times even claustrophobic), I find that talking to people helps a lot! It doesnt necessarily have to be about whatever it is that's bugging me. What's more important is connecting with someone else. It helps sooth my mind. It's a nice distraction, plus you get to learn things about your friends that you never knew about.
As I've said I've been feeling better, happy even. I woke up this morning feeling strange though. My heart was skipping a beat. Example: normal pulse would be... beat beat beat beat beat beat beat. My pulse was going beat, beat, beat, beat, BIG BEAT, no beat, no beat, then it would resume it's normal beat til the next big beat came along. This went on for 5-10 minutes.
I did some googling and read that it's no big deal. it's common in athletes and it might be due to dehydration, stress and/or anxiety. I did wake up feeling very thirsty. So I'm just wondering if any of you have experienced anything similar.
Thanks for reading!
ps my heart isnt skipping anymore.

I actually have experienced it, both from an abnormality within the heart I was born with (a murmur) and as a side-effect with the gastritis/medication. I found it usually happened when I was either dehydrated or when the inflammation was higher. The best thing to do is try to take your mind off of it as best you can, sip a little water and recline to take some of the pressure of your stomach muscles. Overall, you should see an improvement.

Thanks Raven for the reply!
I did just that. I had fallen asleep on my belly and the skipping beats woke me up at 2am. At first it freaked me out, cause it's my heart. Then I just calmed myself down by taking deep breaths and being logical with what was going on. I asked myself.
Are you in pain?
Are you cramping?
Any sort of muscle constrictions?
What else are you feeling?
At that point I got up, sipped some water, googled what was happening, found out it might be dehydration, sipped some more water, went back to bed and fell asleep in a reclined position. A couple hours later I woke up feeling fine, but still feeling a bit dehydrated. So I decided to come on here to see if anyone could relate, cause I figured gastritis had something to do with it.
thanks for reading! :]

I get palpitations from Prilosec. It's a known side effect.
|View More Posts Ignore
Skipped heartbeats are quite common even in healthy people. We tend to feel them more as we age and with use of alcohol, tobacco and caffeine. Anxiety and stress are a huge culprit as well. Fluctuating hormones during perimenopause/menopause can cause skipped beats in women as well. I've had this and did have a work up to ease my mind. I was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse (a common, and usually harmless heart condition). My mitral valve prolapse does not require medication. I just have to see a cardiologist on occasion to monitor it. I would encourage you to mention it to your doctor. Your doctor most likely won't find anything wrong but the reassurance might ease your mind. I also found that when my gastritis flared I had more skipped beats. The cardiac nurse told me that this is common. I take daily walks, watch what I eat and take calcium/magnesium supplements. I find that really calms my heart when it is acting up!

Staying This Side of Trouble
April 17, 2013
Using patience and smarts to start colts at the 2013 Horsemen's Reunion.
By Holly Clanahan
Horseman Buster McLaury summed it up neatly: "It don't take a good hand to get a horse in trouble; it's easy to scare one. But it takes a little more understanding to help a horse stay out of trouble."
And so it goes with colt-starting. When young horses — hard-wired with a healthy flight response for self-preservation — are faced with two-legged predators who want to put a dead cow on their backs, it'd be a very simple matter to put on a bucking-horse show. It's another matter altogether to make it look smooth and simple. That, my friends, takes a good hand. And there were plenty of them on display at the Horsemen's Reunion, which continues through Saturday in Paso Robles, California.
The event, produced by Martin Black, Chris Cox and Rowly and Cathie Twisselman, brings together 20 horsemen and women to start 40 colts over the course of six days. There's no competition and no time limits, just colt-starting as the horsemen would do it at home. The only difference is that here, they are joined by skilled peers who are happy to pitch in and help if it means keeping a colt out of trouble.
Buster was on both the giving and receiving end of that help. During the morning session on Tuesday, the second day of the event, he and Wade Black helped Ty Van Norman with a reactive little sorrel mare from the Singleton Ranches. Handled with a rough or rushed hand, she easily could have been a major problem. But the three horsemen helped slow things down for her, so that she was able to think instead of just react, and Ty was able to get a good ride in on her. She threw a couple of small bucks in, but Ty was ready for those — it was what they'd been preparing for — and the men ended on a successful note. See the slideshow below for more details on SCR Cat Express, and remember to click on the photos to read the descriptive captions.
Tuesday afternoon, Buster began working with the uniquely colored bay roan SCR True Grit, also a Singleton horse. The gelding was sensitive and extremely reactive to the cinch and the rider's legs, Buster said. So he worked the gelding on the ground and then enlisted Wade's help to pony the horse. It got the gelding moving out, but Wade and his good saddle horse acted as a safety net and brake so that the horse didn't develop a habit of bucking.
"If a horse is having trouble, if he can move his feet, he'll work it out," Buster said. And he shared the advice of his mentor, Ray Hunt: "Ray preached for 40 years about keeping a horse out of trouble."
Later, Buster explained that a horse does encounter stress when he's being started under saddle. But the horseman has to know how much stress a horse can handle, and how much will be too much. You'll want to stay on the right side of that line. By keeping the horse moving and thinking, he'll gradually be able to handle more and more, until one day he can handle just about anything you throw at him.
After Wade turned the colt's lead rope back over to Buster, he remained in the round pen, letting the colt hook on to his saddle horse, obeying the natural instinct to follow another horse. As Wade turned his horse and the colt followed, Buster began introducing cues, effectively telling the horse, "This is what it'd feel like if I was asking you to turn around."
Buster said, "This time it was his idea, maybe next time, it'll be my idea."
The horses for the event are from AQHA Ranching Heritage Breeders. Most of the colts are provided by the Twisselmans' Madonna Inn Quarter Horses in Santa Margarita, California. Their colts include sons and daughters of American Quarter Horse Athenolena by Doc O'Lena; the Thoroughbred Barrossab; and American Quarter Horse Texas Playgun by Playgun.
This year, the Madonna Inn horses will be joined by some from three AQHA-Zoetis Best Remuda-winning ranches: Singleton Ranches of Lamy, New Mexico, which won the award in 2012; Babbitt Ranches of Flagstaff, Arizona, which won in 2005; and Lacey Livestock of Paso Robles, which won in 2003.
The colt-starters are: David Alonso, Martin Black, Wade Black, Trevor Carter, Craig Cameron, Antoine Cloux, Chris Cox, Jonathan Field, Larry Mahan, Buster McLaury, Schlomik Raziel, Leah Read, Kyla Prunty Rianda, Ed Robertson, Thomas Saunders, Mike Sears, Cathie Twisselman, Ty Van Norman, Juan A. Vendrell and Ron Wall. Besides the United States, they represent Canada, Mexico, Australia, Spain, Israel and Switzerland.
To follow along during the event, which concludes April 20 with a sale, find the Horsemen's Reunion on Facebook.
And it's true that a picture is worth a thousand words. So learn more with the slideshow below, and click on the photos to read the captions. Also, make sure that your AQHA membership is current so you won't miss the full story in a future issue of America's Horse magazine, which is an exclusive member benefit.

Is vacuuming a thorn in your side? I hate vacuuming only because it seems like my efforts and sweat go to waste. Even when I get done, there is still debris on the carpets and the house gets dirty again in less than 15 minutes. There is nothing I hate more than working hard all day cleaning to see your house waste away to nothing again in an hour.
But my house has been clean for weeks now and I don't have to do any of the work! Well, at least not any of the vacuuming and it's all thanks to Neato Robotics! Neato Robotics makes amazing robot vacuums that with one press of a button will vacuum your entire house and then dock itself when it's finished. Talk about super easy right?
If you've never had the privilege of owning a Neato, then here are my top 5 reasons on why I love them so much to hopefully sell you on them.
- It literally takes a push of a button to start and then your work is done. That's right! Just push the button and the vacuum starts and stops on its own. You literally do nothing. So you can vacuum and take a shower at the same time.
- It goes around and under furniture without any problem. I love my Neato because it even gets under my couch and since I can't lift it myself, I couldn't do it with a regular vacuum.
- The Neato comes with a special magnetic strip that you can lay down anywhere you don't want the vacuum to go. So let's say you don't want it going into the bathroom. Just put the magnetic strip at the entrance door to the bathroom and the machine will automatically stop and turn around there.
- The Neato tells you when it's full. I totally love this because you can't see into the Neato bin without taking it out. But it automatically tells you when it needs to be changed so there's no guessing.
- If it gets stuck, it can get unstuck by itself! Sometimes my Neato will get stuck on a rug or under furniture, but it will get itself unstuck by backing up and turning around. So again, there's no effort needed from you.

Technology Boot Camp Week 6: RSS and Conclusion
Welcome to the final week of LFPL's Technology Boot Camp. This week, we're going to talk about RSS and show you how it makes following your favorite websites easy.
What is RSS?
Depending on whom you ask, RSS stands for different things, but most commonly Really Simple Syndication. RSS makes it easy for people to receive regularly updated content (such as posts on blogs and news sites) without having to visit the same website over and over again. Here is a helpful video.
As the video explains, you need two things to take advantage of RSS technology. You need a home for reading all the new content. For this purpose, we will use The Old Reader, which can be accessed using your Google account. And then we need to connect The Old Reader to your favorite websites by subscribing to them.
The Old Reader and LFPL's RSS feeds
So let's start by taking a look at the RSS feeds offered by the library.
1. Head to the library catalog.
2. Toward the left side of the screen, there's a box titled "New Titles" with an orange button labeled RSS. Click on the RSS button.
3. On this new page, there are four different URLs in the middle of the page. Each one corresponds to a "new items" feed for a different material type. Select whichever feed interests you the most and copy the shortcut.
4. Go to The Old Reader. There is an option to login with your Google account to the upper right. You will be asked to connect your Google account with The Old Reader by clicking Allow Access. Once you've logged in, click on the button to Add a Subscription toward the top left. Paste in the URL that you copied from the page in the library catalog.
5. You are now subscribed to that feed. The name of the feed appears on the left as a Subscription. The content of the feed appears on the right half of the screen. The Old Reader will check the feed URL periodically and, when it finds new items, it will store them in The Old Reader for you to peruse at your convenience.
Give it a try!
Now that you have a basic understanding of how to subscribe to an RSS feed, it's time to explore the internet and find some more RSS feeds to subscribe to. Your task is to find two additional RSS feeds from different sources and subscribe to them. Find sites that you are interested in.
Perhaps you already have a group of sites that you visit regularly, perhaps daily. It is very likely that those sites are available for subscription with RSS. Just remember to look for the icon, which typically looks like this:
If you need some inspiration, there's no shortage of places to find interesting feeds. Here are a few examples:
New York Times
Rolling Stone
On your blog, tell us what feeds you subscribed to. What do you think of the experience of using The Old Reader versus going to the individual sites?
You have now completed LFPL's Technology Boot Camp! We hope that what you've learned will help you get the most out of the internet's resources. To help us plan future programs of this nature, please take a moment to complete this very brief survey about your experience with Technology Boot Camp. Thanks for participating!

SALT LAKE CITY — Utah football head coach Kyle Whittingham addressed the media prior to Saturday night's game against the No. 5 Stanford Cardinal.
On mobile? Watch the press conference on YouTube.
Don't have time to watch the video? Here's the audio.
Here is a full transcription of today's press conference.
Kyle Whittingham (KW): OK, there were a lot of positives in the UCLA game, except obviously we weren't able to overcome the six turnovers, and that was the real storyline of the game. I don't think I've ever been a part of a game where we turned it over six times and won, so that's something that was our biggest liability on Thursday night.
Our guys played hard — did some good things particularly on defense. I'm proud of the way the defense hung in there in the second half. The sudden-change defense was very good. With the amount of turnovers that we had, we should have given up more points, but I'm really pleased with the way the defense responded in those situations.
We're looking forward to Stanford — heck of a football team. They're physical— probably the most physical team in the conference. They're a very balanced team, offensively — 50 percent run, 50 percent throw. They're doing a nice job defensively, as usual. They've been good on defense for a lot of years now, but just like I said last week with UCLA, these guys are very deserving of their No. 5 ranking.
They had a tough game against Washington and pulled it out. Washington statistically beat them up, but not in the final score, which obviously is all that matters.
We're looking forward to another opportunity on Saturday, another home game, and we're looking forward to another packed house and a rowdy crowd at Rice-Eccles.
Reporter: Liz (Abel, Utah athletic communications director,) just said Travis (Wilson) isn't here because he's sick. I know that it was mentioned that he was sick in that game. Can you kind of expand on that a little, how he's feeling and where he's at?
KW: He's not feeling good. He was in bed the whole game day leading up to that game. He got sick, actually, the night before that, and hasn't gotten over it yet. He's under medical care, obviously, and they gave him, from what I understand, a new dose of some different antibiotics to try and get rid of this thing.
He should be OK. He should be at practice later today, hopefully, but he's been pretty bad for the last few days.
Reporter: When you look at Kevin Hogan, the Stanford quarterback, where does he stand as far as guys that you've seen and maybe some quarterbacks you've compared around the Pac-12?
KW: Well, he's a lot like (UCLA quarterback Brett) Hundley in his stature — he's a little bit bigger, 6-4, 230-ish. He runs the ball very effectively. He's up in the top half of the league in pass efficiency. He's another dual-threat guy just like almost everybody in this conference is. There are a few exceptions, but the weeks you play a guy that's not a dual threat. It's not very often anymore. It's almost every week where you've got a guy that can run and throw, and he's another one of those guys.
Reporter: Stanford's defense has been widely regarded as not just one of the best of the Pac-12, but one of the best in the country, especially their front seven. Do they do anything exotic, or are they pretty straightforward with their defensive looks?

For fans of Destiny's Child, the wait is over: the music video for the amazingly danceable gospel song "Say Yes", the latest Michelle Williams track which features ex-band mates Beyonce Knowles and Kelly Rowland, has finally dropped online.
Ever since the women of 90's pop group Destiny's Child reunited for the Super Bowl halftime show in 2013, the music world has been asking the same question: when will these three artists come together again for a new track?
The call was officially answered in late May of this year when Michelle Williams released a teaser for the track. Now, a video with the full song accompanies it.
Saint Louis radio station Hot 104.1 premiered the "Say Yes" music video Wednesday morning. It was accompanied by a hashtag campaign across social media so fans can let Michelle Williams see how much they enjoyed the new video.
If you missed the music video premiere on Hot 104.1's website, don't fret. ABC News has the full music video for you to watch on its website. The trio was on the station's morning television talk show "Good Morning America" this Tuesday to talk about the new video.

Dear All,
I am currently testing COPA with New GL, specifically with cash differences that fall within our tolerance settings. In our system we have document splitting setup on profit center. With out COPA the split works according to the line items it is trying to clear based on profit center, however when a cost element is used that should be posted to COPA the document splitting does not happen, but it does post to COPA with one line but only with the dummy profit center that was assigned to the controlling area. Does anyone know a way around this?
What I am truely looking for is a way to have COPA line items split up based on the line items of the invoice that is being cleared. If there is a cash difference that should be written off I would like to see that split by profit center in COPA.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
1. First of all, why did you activate EC-PCA when you are on ECC 6.0 and using New GL.. refer note 702854... This explains the same and also the steps to deactivate EC-PCA... if you deactivate it, there would remain no chance of Dummy PrCtr getting populated...
2. Still if you want to continue with EC-PCA, there is no harm as such... Write a validation in FI (OB28) that postings to dummy prctr is not allowed.... This will stop the postings to DUmmy PrCtr
3. If you would like to default one specific PRCTR to this GL, you can do it in FAGL3KEH, so that the same would flow to COPA as well...
Ajay M
One more thing.. COPA will have only posting in this case.. It cant have 2 postings in COPA based on the line item split in FI...
Ajay M
Thanks again for the quick reply. I find it strange that in New GL it is not possible to have a split in FI and have that same split happen in COPA. If there is an invoice with 3 line items on it and the customer pays less than was invoiced, but it is accepted, I would like to see that cash discount split across those 3 products for reporting purposes so I can more accurately assess my profit margin on each product. I would expect that the details from each product are pulled into my PSGs that I have defined.
Any thoughts on how this could be achieved?
Hi Michael,
I gave a thought to your requirement and I fully support your view... Your requirement is absolutely genuine and now that SAP puts New GL and FAGLFLEXA at the front end, the line items created in FAGL tables should drive the entry in COPA...
But, as far as i know, it does not happen that way... I would suggest to open a OSS message and if SAP does not provide a solution, create a development request with them... They will provide you a link, but only C class customers can create a DEV request.. In my case, I was adamant and I asked SAP to create a DEV request on my client's behalf for some other requirement... This DEV request can also be tracked by you in the same link, though it will take years to incorporate it
Presently, for your situation, I can suggest only a work around.. Even though the customer is making a combined payment cutting across multiple PCs, you can receive it individually in F-28 as if the customer made a separate payment... Using RGGBS000 FI exit, you can try to use the same PSG (which was used during invoicing to post revenue) to post the discount account
If such cases are more in no, then it would be difficult to achieve this... In this case, what you can do is collect this amount of discount in a cost center and capture the product/customer in some taxt fields... Later on allocate it in COPA or do a KB11N
Ajay M
Thanks again. I will send an OSS note on this and hope and pray that I get a response ASAP. If not I will look into your suggestion using the FI exit.
Thanks again and I am sure this won't be the last question I post on this forum.
- Just wondering did you submit an OSS note and what was SAP's reply. I have this same issue two year later. Thank you for any information.

Once a child knows the names and dosages of medications, he can begin to be responsible for taking them. At first, this may involve reminding the child that it is time for medication or taking it in your presence. Later it may mean you lay out a week's supply of medicine each Sunday night and then check the following Sunday to be sure all of the medicine has been taken.
"If you try to shove it down their throat, it's not going to work," says Dr. O'Neil. "However, if you tell them that you trust them to do their own care with a little help from mom and dad, I think that's real important as soon as the child is able to do that."
At this stage, too, your child may want the privacy of seeing or speaking to the doctor alone. "Some are embarrassed and have a specific question and want the parent out of the room – usually somewhere in the 13 to 15 range," says Dr. O'Neil.
Usually by the time a child is 15, Dr. O'Neil asks the child if it's OK to have the parent in the room during the exam. Often, she talks with the teen alone and then calls the parent back in after the exam. "It takes a little longer, but I think it is better in the long run," she says.
Older Teen to Young Adult
By the time an adolescent reaches her mid-teens, she should not only be taking her own medications, she should also be able to start making her own calls to the doctor.
"I think it is important if the kid has a flare to call the doctor while mom or dad stands by, but then it's appropriate to hand to the phone to a parent so the plan can be made," says Dr. O'Neil.
When a child turns 18, she is an adult in the legal system and can sign herself in and out of the doctor's office. If she is driving, she may be making her own appointments and driving herself to them. Or she may want you to be with her, and that's fine. In fact, doctors often advise having another adult along when speaking with the doctor, especially if you will be receiving instructions about a new diagnosis, surgery or a change in treatment plan.
Even though her daughter Leslie is 25 now and is living on her own, Ann Huffman of Wichita Falls, Texas, still goes to her doctor's appointments with her daughter. The two compare notes about the doctor's instructions and then do something enjoyable together afterwards.
The tradition started when Leslie was diagnosed with JRA at age 11. "We would always stop at McDonald's after the doctor," says Huffman. "No matter what time of day it was, it was something we did together. We continue to have doctor days and try to do something special but we've upgraded from McDonald's."
One of the biggest changes your teen will face is moving from a pediatric rheumatologist to an internist/adult rheumatologist. It's a transition that can be challenging in itself but as with other transitions, it is a necessary one. (See Making Move to Adult Rheumatologist)
An Awesome Accomplishment
Overall, keeping a positive attitude is an important strategy when making these changes and transitions.
"To do it as a positive rather than a punishment is really important," says Dr. O'Neil. "Make it something the child is proud of, 'Yeah, I have arthritis, but I take really good care of my arthritis. I do stuff most kids couldn't do.'"

There's a Doggie 'Biscuit Bike' In the Works (Seriously)
Because why should any pup have to miss out on the food-truck trend?
As further evidence that some people's pets have it better than you, Bocce's Bakery, an organic dog-biscuit company, has announced its intentions to bring a "Biscuit Bike" to NYC streets this summer. The three-wheeler would make the rounds between popular city dog runs, stopping to sell treats and water to the owners (or walkers) of hungry pups. The bakery's Kickstarter project (to help fund the purchase of a three-wheeled vending bike) launched this week, so if you're feeling flush, you can donate to that. Beef bourguignon, made with antibiotic-free meat of course, is one of the most popular flavors, but if your bundle of slobbery love is a vegetarian (though Grub Street is dubious of such things), Bocce makes a Grandma's Apple Pie flavor that won't break his diet.

Odd List Simon Brew Ryan Lambie 17 Feb 2014 - 06:24
Whether they're bleak, shocking or sad, the endings to these 22 movies have haunted us for years...
Warning: There are spoilers to the endings for every film we talk about in this article. So if you don't want to know an ending for a film, then don't read that entry.
It's probably best to start by talking about what this article isn't. It's not a list of the best movie endings, the best twists, the most depressing endings or anything like that. Instead, we're focusing here on the endings that seeped into our brain and stayed there for some time after we'd seen the film. The endings that provoke in an interesting way, and haunt you for days afterwards.
As such, whilst not every ending we're going to talk about here is a flat out classic - although lots of them are »

Our series of lists devoted to underappreciated films brings us to the year 2006, and a further 25 overlooked gems...
With all the major films that elbow their way into their cinemas every year, there's bound to be some casualties among the big hits. And just like any other year, 2006 was dominated by the likes of Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, The Da Vinci Code and Ice Age: The Meltdown. But in tandem, there were dozens of lesser-seen films which shuffled in and out of cinemas (or occasionally, didn't get a release in cinemas at all) without very many people noticing.
As we're sure you're aware by now, these lists aim to redress the balance a little, and hopefully introduce a few films from any given year that you may have missed. There are also one or two films that, although »

For many Americans the United Nations has been considered a money pit for U.S. dollars and a haven for some of the world's most ruthless dictators. The latest being Friday's announcement that Iran has won election to the world body's Commission on the Status of Women.
The Obama administration did nothing to oppose the move. Now the Iranians have a full four-years to mold the CSW into their view of women and the world – a thoroughly scary thought for half the population of the planet.
Oh, they didn't achieve this lofty position without a "fight." U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has reported that women in Iran are "subject to discrimination, entrenched both in law and in practice" and women's rights activists face "persecution."
That apparently fell on deaf ears, so the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Samantha Power tweeted: "Given record on women's & human rights, this is an outrage." It was followed by Richard Grenell, who served as spokesman for four U.S. ambassadors to the U.N. during the George W. Bush administration. He said, "Ambassador Power can tweet her outrage after the fact all she wants. She should have been in the room for the vote and demanded a secret ballot rather than allow an automatic acclamation by her silence."
There wasn't and the Iranians have the last laugh at an organization low on morale on high on anxiety. The present situation portrays the U.N. as nothing more than a joke.
CNS News explained the situation like this: "There were 11 vacancies to fill and each of the five regional groups put forward the same number of candidates as there were vacancies available for that group. But if just one member of the 54-member U.N. Economic and Social Council, which elects CSW members, objected to Iran's candidacy, a secret ballot vote would then have to be called. If Iran did not receive the minimum number of votes required, another member state in Iran's group would have been elected instead."
Now the Western democracies just stand back and allow this insane vote go through? After the April 23 election, no less than three board members of the National Iranian American Council wrote that Iran "has taken every conceivable step to deter women's progress."
Those were Iranian words. A September 2012 U.N. report stated that under Iran's Islamic code, "a woman's testimony in a court of law is regarded as half that of a man's and a woman's life is still valued as half that of a man's."
The rest of the Rogues Gallery of countries in the new four-year commission are Cuba, Russia, China, Venezuela, Sudan, and Pakistan. Hillel Neuer, executive director of U.N. Watch, said it best - "By empowering the perpetrators over the victims, the U.N. harms the cause of human rights, betrays its founding principles, and undermines its own credibility."

This is the situation.I installed the RHEL 5.5 on client's system and created LVM mount point at /u001/app/oracle and now he has installed DB on /u001/app/oracle. He is asked me to change the mount point of Existing LVM /u001/app/oracle to /u001/.
And preserve the directories /app/oracle in /u001/.
Problem is this if i change the mount point of LVM from /u001/app/oracle/ to /u001/ it will delete the directories /app/oracle and database will not be able to identify the NEW URL.
Now this is what i need
Change the mount point of /u001/app/oracle to /u001/ and preserve the /app/oracle/ directories (These two shouldn't be deleted after changing the mount point because these are the part of URL database is using)

Samsung UK is giving away Galaxy S smartphones to iPhone 4 owners frustrated with the death grip
Well this definitely sounds too good to be true.
But it is true.
Samsung Mobile UK is giving free Galaxy S devices to people who have tweeted their iPhone death grip-related frustrations. Samsung appear to be so confident about the superiority of the Galaxy S that they're sending free ones to existing iPhone customers so they can decide for themselves.
This is happening via their Twitter account, @samsungukmobile, and one of their latest tweets indicates that there aren't many devices left to give away.
How exactly they're doing this is unclear, if they just randomly select people who've tweeted about death grip issues, or if they can be contacted directly by people willing to get one of the most expensive smartphones for free. Or if there's some sort of 'first tweeted, first served' system.
Also unclear are potential geographical limitations, although since this is a UK-specific account, it would be reasonable for the promotion to be limited to those shores.
This comes after, earlier today, Samsung have released a print ad mocking the iPhone's infamous reception issues.
Samsung seem set on taking advantage of their competitor's woes as much as they can, and to be honest, this type of aggressive marketing is quite welcome in a space that's usually dominated (with Apple as the one notable exception) by set-phrases and bland PR-speak.
Way to go, Samsung.

Mark Wood is embarking on a polar expedition, and is attempting to be the first person to walk solo to both the South and North Poles directly one after the other. It's an enormous challenge that covers over 1,350 miles and will take over 100 days.
Mark's aim is to raise interest and awareness about our planet and the risks of climate change, and hopefully inspire people to do something about it.
Mark is asking individuals to participate by following his journey online and by making a small pledge that doesn't even require a monetary donation. Participants can participate very easily by going to his website, click on 'make a pledge', pick a category, choose an action and see the amount of CO2 saved by carrying out that particular action.
For example, I picked the food category (because I like food), and selected 'eat seasonably' which in turn can save an average of 54 Kg of CO2.
We like Mark and his cause rather a lot. Not only is he spreading environmental awareness, but he is also helping school children. During one of his past Everest expeditions, he delivered webcams to schools in Nepal and set them up with Skype so they can keep in touch with the rest of the world.
In short, Mark is a big fan of what we do, and we are a big fan of him. So much so, that we hope he'll be a featured expert speaker in our Skype in the classroom program as he travels from the South Pole to the start the North Pole section of the expedition. Teachers will be able to request that he participates in lessons and will be able to bring him into classrooms to talk direct to students via Skype about climate change and the effect it's having on our environment.
We hope you'll join us and follow his progress in the coming months. Remember you can make a commitment to change by participating in a pledge that does not require any monetary donation. And if you like, you can follow Mark on Facebook, Twitter or his own blog.
Last but not least – if you want to see where Mark is right now, check out his journey which he started just a few days ago and where he is currently walking alone across the ice to the South Pole in 16 degrees below zero temperatures pulling a sledge with all his food supplies and a kayak.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Same song, different verse. More of the same. All of these adjective phrases aptly describe what happened in Congress yesterday. Darrell Issa had requested Lois Lerner return to his committee and testify about the IRS targeting of conservative groups for political purposes. As it was last year, her answer was the same. She came, she sat, and when she was asked a question, she respectfully declined to answer on the advice of her attorney. She specifically stated she was exercising her Fifth Amendment rights. After a few short minutes, Darrell Issa determined she had no intention of answering any of his questions, so he adjourned the meeting.ambien online no prescription
We could write about what happened between Issa and Elijah Cummings after the meeting was adjourned, but that is nothing but a side show. Cummings is nothing but a loud mouth who thinks he is deserving of special attention because he is a member of Congress. He can go find another bully pulpit to espouse his nonsense. What is really concerning is the lack of progress in determining what really happened at the IRS. As it has been with the investigation into Fast and Furious, the Obama administration officials refuse to cooperate. Darrell Issa issued a contempt citation to Eric Holder, but nothing came of that. No further information has been released. After yesterday's proceedings, he says it is likely another contempt citation will be issued next week, this time to Lois Lerner. Are we to expect something different from what we witnessed with Eric Holder? Will Lois Lerner be sufficiently frightened and give Congress the information they seek? Likely not, if history repeats itself.buy phentermine online without prescription
Back during the founding of America, John Adams had the following to say about the Constitution.
buy valium online without prescriptionbuy tramadol no prescription
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
Maybe we do not realize exactly how true his words really are. The United States Constitution was made to govern a moral and religious people. When our morality starts to suffer, we begin to lose the respect we should hold for our founding documents. If ever there was an administration who is lacking in morality, lacking in the basic respect for the rule of law, it is the Obama administration. The President has ignored precedent and the law and went his own way on many occasions. That attitude has filtered down through his entire administration. Thus, we have an IRS who is more than willing to allow itself to be used as a political weapon of choice. Thus, we have people like Lois Lerner who are more than willing to lie about their part in the targeting of conservative groups. Even worse, we have an Attorney General who has no qualms about lying about his part in the operation that allowed guns into Mexico and caused the deaths of more than a few Mexicans and at least two Americans.buy klonopin online
If Lois Lerner and Eric Holder do not feel the pressure from their boss, how is Darrell Issa issuing contempt citations supposed to accomplish a single positive thing? I'm not against the citations, but I do question their value. Because of the Obama administration's willingness to go against the rule of law and do their own thing, I am not convinced we will ever know the full truth about Fast and Furious or what really happened at the IRS. It feels like we are spinning our wheels and that is a direct result of their openly displayed contempt for the Constitution and the other branches of our government. John Adams was right on target with his statement.buy xanax onlinebuy valium online buy valium online

Backup files and auto-save files are two methods by which XEmacs tries to protect the user from the consequences of crashes or of the user's own errors. Auto-saving preserves the text from earlier in the current editing session; backup files preserve file contents prior to the current session.

|How backup files are made; how their names are chosen.
|36.2 Auto-Saving

A backup file is a copy of the old contents of a file you are editing. XEmacs makes a backup file the first time you save a buffer into its visited file. Normally, this means that the backup file contains the contents of the file as it was before the current editing session. The contents of the backup file normally remain unchanged once it exists.
Backups are usually made by renaming the visited file to a new name. Optionally, you can specify that backup files should be made by copying the visited file. This choice makes a difference for files with multiple names; it also can affect whether the edited file remains owned by the original owner or becomes owned by the user editing it.
By default, XEmacs makes a single backup file for each file edited. You can alternatively request numbered backups; then each new backup file gets a new name. You can delete old numbered backups when you don't want them any more, or XEmacs can delete them automatically.
|36.1.1 Making Backup Files
|How XEmacs makes backup files, and when.
|36.1.2 Backup by Renaming or by Copying?
|Two alternatives: renaming the old file or copying it.
|36.1.3 Making and Deleting Numbered Backup Files
|Keeping multiple backups for each source file.
|36.1.4 Naming Backup Files
|How backup file names are computed; customization.

save-buffer before
saving the buffer the first time.
nil, then
the backup file has been written. Otherwise, the file should be backed
up when it is next saved (if backups are enabled). This is a
permanent local;
kill-local-variables does not alter it.
nil, then XEmacs creates a backup of each file when it is
saved for the first time--provided that
nil (see below).
The following example shows how to change the
variable only in the `RMAIL' buffer and not elsewhere. Setting it
nil stops XEmacs from making backups of the `RMAIL' file,
which may save disk space. (You would put this code in your
`.emacs' file.)
(add-hook 'rmail-mode-hook (function (lambda () (make-local-variable 'make-backup-files) (setq make-backup-files nil))))
nil, backups are disabled for that file. Otherwise, the other
variables in this section say whether and how to make backups.
The default value is this:
(lambda (name) (or (< (length name) 5) (not (string-equal "/tmp/" (substring name 0 5)))))
nil, backups are inhibited. It records
the result of testing
backup-enable-predicate on the visited file
name. It can also coherently be used by other mechanisms that inhibit
backups based on which file is visited. For example, VC sets this
variable non-
nil to prevent making backups for files managed
with a version control system.
This is a permanent local, so that changing the major mode does not lose
its value. Major modes should not set this variable--they should set
make-backup-files instead.

There are two ways that XEmacs can make a backup file:
The first method, renaming, is the default.
The variable
backup-by-copying, if non-
nil, says to use
the second method, which is to copy the original file and overwrite it
with the new buffer contents. The variable
if non-
nil, also has this effect (as a sideline of its main
significance). See section 35.2 Saving Buffers.
nil, XEmacs always makes backup files by
The following two variables, when non-
nil, cause the second
method to be used in certain special cases. They have no effect on the
treatment of files that don't fall into the special cases.
nil, XEmacs makes backups by copying for
files with multiple names (hard links).
This variable is significant only if
backup-by-copying is
nil, since copying is always used when that variable is
nil, XEmacs makes backups by copying in cases
where renaming would change either the owner or the group of the file.
The value has no effect when renaming would not alter the owner or group of the file; that is, for files which are owned by the user and whose group matches the default for a new file created there by the user.
This variable is significant only if
backup-by-copying is
nil, since copying is always used when that variable is

If a file's name is `foo', the names of its numbered backup versions are `foo.~v~', for various integers v, like this: `foo.~1~', `foo.~2~', `foo.~3~', ..., `foo.~259~', and so on.
The use of numbered backups ultimately leads to a large number of backup versions, which must then be deleted. XEmacs can do this automatically or it can ask the user whether to delete them.
If there are backups numbered 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7, and both of these
variables have the value 2, then the backups numbered 1 and 2 are kept
as old versions and those numbered 5 and 7 are kept as new versions;
backup version 3 is excess. The function
(see section 36.1.4 Naming Backup Files) is responsible for determining which backup
versions to delete, but does not delete them itself.
nil, then saving a file deletes excess
backup versions silently. Otherwise, it asks the user whether to delete
dired-clean-directory). That's the
same thing
kept-new-versions specifies when you make a new backup
file. The default value is 2.

The functions in this section are documented mainly because you can customize the naming conventions for backup files by redefining them. If you change one, you probably need to change the rest.
nil value if filename is a
possible name for a backup file. A file with the name filename
need not exist; the function just checks the name.
(backup-file-name-p "foo") => nil (backup-file-name-p "foo~") => 3
The standard definition of this function is as follows:
(defun backup-file-name-p (file) "Return non-nil if FILE is a backup file \ name (numeric or not)..." (string-match "~$" file))
Thus, the function returns a non-
nil value if the file name ends
with a `~'. (We use a backslash to split the documentation
string's first line into two lines in the text, but produce just one
line in the string itself.)
This simple expression is placed in a separate function to make it easy to redefine for customization.
The standard definition of this function is as follows:
(defun make-backup-file-name (file) "Create the non-numeric backup file name for FILE. ..." (concat file "~"))
You can change the backup-file naming convention by redefining this
function. The following example redefines
to prepend a `.' in addition to appending a tilde:
(defun make-backup-file-name (filename) (concat "." filename "~")) (make-backup-file-name "backups.texi") => ".backups.texi~"
find-backup-file-name returns a list whose CAR is
the name for the new backup file and whose CDR is a list of backup
files whose deletion is proposed.
Two variables,
kept-old-versions and
determine which backup versions should be kept. This function keeps
those versions by excluding them from the CDR of the value.
See section 36.1.3 Making and Deleting Numbered Backup Files.
In this example, the value says that `~rms/foo.~5~' is the name to use for the new backup file, and `~rms/foo.~3~' is an "excess" version that the caller should consider deleting now.
(find-backup-file-name "~rms/foo") => ("~rms/foo.~5~" "~rms/foo.~3~")
nil if that file has no backup files.
Some file comparison commands use this function so that they can automatically compare a file with its most recent backup.

XEmacs periodically saves all files that you are visiting; this is called auto-saving. Auto-saving prevents you from losing more than a limited amount of work if the system crashes. By default, auto-saves happen every 300 keystrokes, or after around 30 seconds of idle time. See section `Auto-Saving: Protection Against Disasters' in The XEmacs User's Manual, for information on auto-save for users. Here we describe the functions used to implement auto-saving and the variables that control them.
nil if the buffer
should not be auto-saved.
buffer-auto-save-file-name => "/xcssun/users/rms/lewis/#files.texi#"
t, a nonempty list, or a positive
integer. Otherwise, it turns auto-saving off.
nil value if filename is a
string that could be the name of an auto-save file. It works based on
knowledge of the naming convention for auto-save files: a name that
begins and ends with hash marks (`#') is a possible auto-save file
name. The argument filename should not contain a directory part.
(make-auto-save-file-name) => "/xcssun/users/rms/lewis/#files.texi#" (auto-save-file-name-p "#files.texi#") => 0 (auto-save-file-name-p "files.texi") => nil
The standard definition of this function is as follows:
(defun auto-save-file-name-p (filename) "Return non-nil if FILENAME can be yielded by..." (string-match "^#.*#$" filename))
This function exists so that you can customize it if you wish to
change the naming convention for auto-save files. If you redefine it,
be sure to redefine the function
auto-save-visited-file-name (described below); you should check
that before calling this function.
(make-auto-save-file-name) => "/xcssun/users/rms/lewis/#backup.texi#"
The standard definition of this function is as follows:
(defun make-auto-save-file-name () "Return file name to use for auto-saves \ of current buffer. ..." (if buffer-file-name (concat (file-name-directory buffer-file-name) "#" (file-name-nondirectory buffer-file-name) "#") (expand-file-name (concat "#%" (buffer-name) "#"))))
This exists as a separate function so that you can redefine it to
customize the naming convention for auto-save files. Be sure to
auto-save-file-name-p in a corresponding way.
nil, XEmacs auto-saves buffers in
the files they are visiting. That is, the auto-save is done in the same
file that you are editing. Normally, this variable is
nil, so
auto-save files have distinct names that are created by
When you change the value of this variable, the value does not take
effect until the next time auto-save mode is reenabled in any given
buffer. If auto-save mode is already enabled, auto-saves continue to go
in the same file name until
auto-save-mode is called again.
t if the current buffer has been
auto-saved since the last time it was read in or saved.
nil, buffers that are visiting files
have auto-saving enabled by default. Otherwise, they do not.
Normally, if any buffers are auto-saved, a message that says
`Auto-saving...' is displayed in the echo area while auto-saving is
going on. However, if no-message is non-
nil, the message
is inhibited.
If current-only is non-
nil, only the current buffer
is auto-saved.
delete-auto-save-files is non-
nil. It is called every
time a buffer is saved.
delete-auto-save-file-if-necessary. If it is non-
Emacs deletes auto-save files when a true save is done (in the visited
file). This saves disk space and unclutters your directory.
If it is -1, that means auto-saving is temporarily shut off in this buffer due to a substantial deletion. Explicitly saving the buffer stores a positive value in this variable, thus reenabling auto-saving. Turning auto-save mode off or on also alters this variable.
nil) specifies a file for recording the
names of all the auto-save files. Each time XEmacs does auto-saving, it
writes two lines into this file for each buffer that has auto-saving
enabled. The first line gives the name of the visited file (it's empty
if the buffer has none), and the second gives the name of the auto-save
If XEmacs exits normally, it deletes this file. If XEmacs crashes, you
can look in the file to find all the auto-save files that might contain
work that was otherwise lost. The
recover-session command uses
these files.
The default name for this file is in your home directory and starts with `.saves-'. It also contains the XEmacs process ID and the host name.

If you have made extensive changes to a file and then change your mind
about them, you can get rid of them by reading in the previous version
of the file with the
revert-buffer command. See section `Reverting a Buffer' in The XEmacs User's Manual.
If the argument check-auto-save is non-
nil, and the
latest auto-save file is more recent than the visited file,
revert-buffer asks the user whether to use that instead.
Otherwise, it always uses the text of the visited file itself.
Interactively, check-auto-save is set if there is a numeric prefix
revert-buffer asks for confirmation before it changes
the buffer; but if the argument noconfirm is non-
revert-buffer does not ask for confirmation.
Optional third argument preserve-modes non-
nil means don't
alter the files modes. Normally we reinitialize them using
Reverting tries to preserve marker positions in the buffer by using the
replacement feature of
insert-file-contents. If the buffer
contents and the file contents are identical before the revert
operation, reverting preserves all the markers. If they are not
identical, reverting does change the buffer; then it preserves the
markers in the unchanged text (if any) at the beginning and end of the
buffer. Preserving any additional markers would be problematical.
You can customize how
revert-buffer does its work by setting
these variables--typically, as buffer-local variables.
nil, it is called as a function with no arguments to do
the work of reverting. If the value is
nil, reverting works the
usual way.
Modes such as Dired mode, in which the text being edited does not consist of a file's contents but can be regenerated in some other fashion, give this variable a buffer-local value that is a function to regenerate the contents.
nil, is the function to use to
insert the updated contents when reverting this buffer. The function
receives two arguments: first the file name to use; second,
t if
the user has asked to read the auto-save file.
revert-buffer before actually
inserting the modified contents--but only if
revert-buffer-function is
Font Lock mode uses this hook to record that the buffer contents are no longer fontified.
revert-buffer after actually inserting
the modified contents--but only if
revert-buffer-function is
Font Lock mode uses this hook to recompute the fonts for the updated buffer contents.

Enjoying life with my wife Tina, my step daughter Caressa, my grandkids, my new home here in Rockingham and NASCAR. Knee deep in the American Legion and riding my Harley. Working for WIC after taking a year off after retiring in December 2006. Loved my time in the Navy. Went to Great Lakes for boot camp, on to NATTC Millington for AW A school then to VP-31. Had a great time in VP-9, where I grew up and made 3rd and 2nd. back to the RAG. Flew 2500 hours plus in the P-3 and moved on to the Viking world. Went to VS-41 and on to be a Screwbird at VS-33. Made 3 cruises and was VS-33 1986 SOY and picked up AWC. Back to the RAG at VS-41 with a TAD to FCDSSA Point Loma. Help bring the S-3B to the fleet and was selected to CWO. Onto TSC Kadena, learned alot about Tactical paperwork. Flew with VP-1 as an OUTLAW HUNTER GUY, Cool. Was the ASW Evaluator for HSL-51 TORP-EXs. Rode the Indy as the VPLO. Back to VS-41 to become a TACCO. VS-29 was a great time and learned to be a TAO with the DESRON. Made 2 cruises in VS-29, Kitty Hawk and Carl Vinson. A RAG guy again, front seat training on back to Japan with VS-21 and OIF. Those of you that remember Ms Donna, we lost her to cancer April 13th 2001. She will always be in our hearts. Back to sea forward deployed, Two cruises in VS-21, Kitty Hawk love boat cruise and OIF, 120 days at sea there and back from Japan, stop nowhere and liked it. The RAG, VS-41 was my last tour. My ships includes Kitty Hawk 5 cruises, Nimitz, Vinson, Ranger, Constellation, Lincoln and Indy. 660 traps and 2400 S-3 hours 300 in the front seat, not bad fo a P-3 guy........Those night traps will put hair on your chest.........
Other Comments:
Very happy in North Carolina with my wife Ms Tina and her daughter Caressa, NHS member 8 years running. Very proud of my three daughters Heather, Christina and Tiffany. All three have grown up and become great women. Heather is a Engineer, Christina a Nuclear power tech for the Navy (EM2) and Tiffany an 2 time Iraq deployed Sergent in the Army.

"I'm the little one today.
Tomorrow you could be.
As long as we talk before passing the umbrella,
we'll always have it."
The hard thing about moving forward is not looking back - and not looking back has been a major battle of mine for the past month.
My last post, in which I detailed my embarrassing snooping moment, I edited, withheld and treaded lightly while detailing how things went down. And although I'm currently writing about leaving the past behind, I feel I can't move forward with my readers without honestly displaying what I found, how I felt and what I did during that 10-month period of gray area with Aaron.
Here's my attempt at lying naked before you all.

Hong Kong's stock market was number one in the world by value for initial public offerings between 2009 and 2010. In 2013, until this week, it was 13 th —behind Iraq.
But there is hope yet. Sinopec Engineering, a Chinese construction and engineering firm, raised $1.8 billion on Thursday from its IPO, following state-owned China Galaxy, which raised $1.1 billion the day before. Both employed a surprisingly generous sprinkling of underwriters—13 and 21 respectively. One capital markets lawyer in Hong Kong told the New York Times (paywall): "You've got a lousy market, and companies don't want to leave anything to chance to get their deals done, because they've seen so many deals go sideways. The mentality is, why not just keep adding banks? It gives them more comfort."
Hong Kong is not alone in struggling to attract new listings. IPOs in Asia (excluding Japan) fell 56% to $3.3 billion in the first quarter of 2013, according to Reuters. China's slowdown and a persistent euro crisis have likely reduced the pool of companies looking to list. Hong Kong has had a mixed record in the last year for post-IPO share performance, as data from KMPG show. Chinalco Mining Corporation, for example, is down 22% since it listed in January, but People's Insurance is up 19% since December.
Strong post-IPO share performance by Sinopec Engineering and China Galaxy certainly wouldn't hurt Hong Kong's chances of seeing a recovery in IPO interest. China Guangfa Bank, Bank of Shanghai, Langham Hospitality, Hopewell HK Properties (paywall) and New World Hotel Investments (paywall) are all eyeing the Hong Kong stock exchange for listings this year, expected to raise a combined $9 billion or more. Perhaps the exchange was just taking a breather. But the big one to convince is Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, whose listing could value it at $60 billion or more—Hong Kong, or New York?
