15. Re: Escape character when searching not workingGlenG Mar 20, 2014 3:36 PM (in response to Dude!)
The "search tips" for 6.0.2 have changed dropping "escape" feature :
"Special Characters and Words
The following characters and operator words are treated specially in the search syntax (separated by a single space): * ( ) " AND OR NOT
You can't search for these characters and operators, because we use them for special search syntax. If you use them in search text in a way that doesn't make sense, the search engine may ignore them. For example, an odd number of quote characters will be ignored, and multiple asterisks next to each other will be interpreted as a single wildcard."
From a different angle, I mentioned the problem we see searching for & to a colleague and his reply was "they probably did not index &".
At this point, I'm guessing Oracle did not build indexes that will support the documentation.
I'm contemplating making a recommendation that the "Communities" indexes are updated to support the technical syntax appropriate to the technologies the various Communities are expected to support.
Thanks for checking the sites running other versions of Jive. I realized a couple of weeks ago that I needed to compare other sites but did not know how to determine (guess?) at the Jive version. I now see that some of the scripts seem to include the version number in their path.
Thanks, have a good day,

Interesting, how does the software determine what search term makes sense, in particular in a technical forum, with technical search terms.
The search function was one of the highlights for the last major upgrade, which even delayed the upgrade plan because there where problems with it. Well, I guess I will be toying with Google for searching the forums again, although it does not really perform much better.
I think what the Oracle community needs is something similar to Google Code Search.

The question is what Oracle is trying to accomplish with the poll. To me, the wording and circumstance rather suggests that Oracle wants to advertise the great search facility and is not really asking for any criticism.
I think the the Rules of Conduct outlined on MOSC emphasize that criticism is not really wanted. I'm not a native English speaker so I had to look-up what "disparaging" means. According to the information I found, saying "you never do anything right", for instance, is a classic example of a disparaging remark.
Nevertheless, I added my following 2 cent: With all the MOSC and OTN community merge in mind I think the search from the MOSC home page should work the same way as the search from the OTN home page and not restrict the search to the MOSC forum space only. Or at least outline the current search behavior.
Generally speaking, I think the search is great and has much improved considering that searching on OTN did not work before, however I wish the search feature would rather be a link that opens the advanced search right away. The current logic behind the search facility to match close words, such as "type" and "typing", makes it generally necessary to limit searches to a particular forum space when searching for technical information.

Checking the page source, the Apple discussion board seems to be based on Jive 4.5.6.

I wonder what Jive 7 will fix or when the upgrade will happen.

The blog says:

This makes me lol, as on LinkedIn this functionality is implemented to be one of the most silly and misleading features in social media. People endorse others for skills they don't have, apparently to suck up to them in an effort to increase their own skills ratings. https://community.linkedin.com/questions/16624/why-am-i-being-endorsed-for-skills-and-expertise-i.html is just one example among many you can find by googling terms like linkedin skill rating stupid.

Guava paste and cheddar cheese...you sure seem to know a lot about my likes and dislikes. How'd ya know?
I've made these many times. You can place them atop Ritz crackers as well!
Really good. I grew up with this and cream cheese on galletas. yuummmmmm
I brought this to a "pot luck" and received rave reviews and requests for me to make it again soon. The combination of flavors is out standing! Thanks Blue Peacock!
This recipe seems simple, but the two ingredients together forms a great fusion. I tried this and liked it! Cutting the ingredients into cute shapes can make this look even better.
All combos mentioned here are great, but another sweeter combination is guava with cream cheese.
What an awesome quicky for tha fam to enjoy while cooking..
I used to eat this all the time growing up but we used Puerto Rican white cheese which is quite salty and a wonderful combination with the sweet guava. Using the sharp cheese is good too.

Tackling is key to football, and would get decent attention at practices. Tackling can be fun and but done improperly, it or even exhilarating can be dangerous. And in coordination with your feet throw your arms back preparing to grab.
Sounds familiar? 2-nd, thrust ynext foot once more squarely in front of your opponent and with all the momentum that you have got to the tackle grab your opponent. Of course now is the time that injuries can happen. Instead keep your head back, to protect oneself under no circumstances, ever try to tackle with your crown head. That said, you need to literally imagine that the football is a vast hamburger and you want to bite it and not slam your forehead against it.
3rd, throw your hips up and tough as you drive the offensive player backwards. Usually, the squarer you are in the 1st step the easier it will be to perform the 3rd step.
Virtually, drinking plenty of water is all it requires to prevent dehydration, therefore must be a vital an integral element of football practices. Find out if at the time of the football expereince players have their water bottles handy and are drinking of Water will in no circumstances be used as a motivational or reward type basis. When players are hydrated and energized they will test harder and study more.
When you have more renewable energy at the fourth quarter then your opponent then you have won. Though dull and at times boring, those running drills will assist you to play your hardest until the game end. With all that said. Though running drills can be a large help to your game, lots of anybody complain extremely about the running. Remember that in the end it is the fastest that win games.
Conditioning drills are effective in training and helping athletes be strong and reactive. Ultimately, this drills intention is helping quickness and accuracy on the field which will reduce errors and increase good chances plays. Whenever forming an x shape much like the dots for the number 5 dice side, with intention to execute the drill you will need a place with 5 dots, either marked on the grass or on a mat.
It's a well the athlete starts at the mat edge placing their feet on outer 2 dots and proceeds to jump with feet together on the center spot and after all out once again very fast to the outer dots identic to a regular hop scotch motion. Next proceed throughout the dots one at a time jumping with one leg usually. Anyways, the player will touch dots all with one and the other feet together, later. You see, the last phase is actually returning to the original starting phase of jumping and apart, however this time the athlete will rethink directions right after they have jumped to the outer dots. Players will need to increase the speed and accuracy to be effective with this drill.

There was certainly a modern carefully noted complement a couple of months previously whenever Stansted Usa altered the particular reel with 50 per cent fraction of second as they felt which the greyish coloration footballing package they had been putting on had been barring them from choosing users of those individual team in conjunction with passes. Those folks modified their own set in fifty percent time period completely to another shirt along with continued with an eye to acquire the actual go with.
There are a lot of aspects that leave an excellent football equipment. Just think for a second. The fundamental parts to make note of intended for soccer teamwear commonly are seems, performance or even strength.
Sounds familiar , doesn't it? Appears -specifically how noticeable truly is a fshionable football method?
Nonetheless, performance -correctly absent involve the weeks to weeks that every materials with regard to little league sets will be the exact same. The greatest brands over soccer for instance Adidas, Nike and The puma business in addition to Umbro, standard suppliers on The uk team top, have developed fabrics that will behave differently beneath distinct climatic in addition to functionality difficulties. Manufacturer technological "see how" has superior in all regions like the progress connected with fabrics which could stretch to lots of situations his or her dimensions and get back to standard or probably materials which can help a gamer cool off by just and helps to deliver sweat for the surface pertaining to draft evaporation. Obviously, comfort is a really significant aspect in kit conclusion. Sounds familiar? Running intended for over ninety weeks units is a tricky ample work anyhow.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › Stuffsack-with-straps as a daypack
Jan 24, 2013 at 3:24 pm #1298381
I know they're out there and I've found a few, but I was wondering if you all could give me a list of such minimalist daypacks and any recommendations you might have. I'm looking for exactly what's in the subject- a lightweight sack that will mostly be used as a stuffsack, but with shoulder straps so that I can use it as an (even lighter) daypack, primarily to haul a water bottle, windshell, maybe a fleece, and snacks.Jan 24, 2013 at 4:18 pm #1946918

Hi Dean
This is classic MYOG.
You see, what you are looking for has too little value-add for most gear vendors. They can't sell something like this for less than maybe $50 (I dunno), but who is going to pay that much for a simple stuff sack? (Well, not me, anyhow!)
I have some 10" x 16" MYOG stuff sacks (PU-coated nylon, maybe 60 gsm) we use as food bags in the tent in the evening. One bag holds all the lunch stuff in the evening, out of the way, and the other holds all the dinner stuff. OK, hardly SUL, but very very convenient.
I have added short loops of 5 mm tape to the two bottom corners. Then I take a few feet of 5 mm soft light webbing and tie the ends to these two loops. Fill stuff sack with day gear and tie the middle of the 5 mm tape around the neck. Onto the shoulders and away we go. Perfect for short side trips during a thru-hike.
Total weight: 46 g (1.62 oz). Short of making it out of Cuban, I defy anyone to make anything much lighter.
One version is deluxe. I reinforced a bit of the bag near the top and added another short loop of 5 mm webbing. I tie the middle of the 'shoulder straps' to this instead with the length adjusted to suit my shoulders. Now I can open the 'day pack' by undoing the draw cord at the top without undoing the shoulder straps – so they stay the right length.
No photos right now – camera being repaired.

I've done something like this with a few different sizes of Granite Gear Air Zip Sack and Air Pockets.
I've made them into day packs with a length of cord/rope. I wouldn't want that digging into my shoulder carrying water. I'd think you could make a padded strap that would allow you to wear the stuff sack as a bandoleer-style pack that wouldn't weigh too much.
I've seen a lot of folks around town using gym sacks to carry snacks, water and a fleece at events and the like. You'd still have the problem of cord digging into your shoulders, but it might be worth trying.Jan 25, 2013 at 11:16 am #1947196
The Gossamer Gear item is one of which I was aware, and was favoring. I didn't know about any of the others. The ZimmerBuilt seems similar to most of the ones I'm finding (except that it's cuben) in that it's basically a sack with cord for straps, which doesn't seem appealing for the reasons mentioned above. I'd forgotten about Oware- I'll research that one. But if I ever bought anything from L.L.Bean my wife would eviscerate me (political reasons).

I went through this process a couple of years ago, trying to find a stuff sack with shoulder straps so I could use it for a FAK and PSK and actually take it with me when I wonder away from camp. The Sea to Summit Ultra-Sil Day Pack weighs only 2.4 oz, so since I would likely use a 1 oz stuff sack anyway, I consider it a 1.4 oz penalty to have a day pack that more likely ensures I have a PSK with me when away from camp. Excellent lightweight bag that holds 20 litres.Jan 26, 2013 at 7:53 am #1947420
David ThomasParticipant
@davidinkenaiLocale: North Woods. Far North.
2.4 ounces, 20 liters / 1220 cu inches. Sea to Summit Ultra-Sil Packable Day Pack. $32.95 at REI.
My longest day hike with it was 28 miles in GCNP and it did fine. I was SUL that day AND kept pointy things away from my back (or back in the car).
2.4 ounces is SWEET – you can't wear your daypack, or eat your daypack, and unlike food and water, you carry the weight for EVERY mile, so why bring any more daypack than you absolutely need?
It's best and highest uses for me are:
– high-mileage days like the one described above
– as a stuff sack (can't stuff super hard into due to the zipper closure) that then doubles as a daypack for side trips.
– I travel with it (stowed) on airlines on business and family trips. It packs down to the size of a lime but if there is "mission creep" or fluffage that occurs or shopping that is done, then it takes the added bulk as a carry-on bag (in a pinch, I'd check it as baggage and did once, but it's not sturdy enough for a lot of that).
– as a "backpack" for a 3- to 6-year-old so they can feel like they are helping. And they do take a little of the volume off you that way.
Don't plan on a 10+ pound load. But at 3 to 6 pounds, the unpadded straps are fine.Jan 26, 2013 at 7:57 am #1947421
Has anyone tried the updated version mentioned by Rick, slightly heavier at 3.2oz but more stuff sack like, with a drybag rolltop…???

Ensuring litter is picked up in the City of Aiken is now as easy as leaving a voice mail.
The Citys Public Services Department set up a litter hotline so residents can request the pickup of items they may be unable to take care of themselves.
The hotline was installed about six months ago, but Public Services Director Tim Coakley said he hopes the calls increase since, at the end of the day, litter affects more than just aesthetics.
The cost of litter can affect us all, Coakley said. It affects tourism, and it has a trickle-down effect that can affect all the different departments and its citizens. We want to make sure we get it cleaned up.
When individuals call the hotline, the call will be transferred to voice mail. Callers can leave a detailed message with the litters location. If possible, describe what the litter contains. The Public Services secretary checks the messages daily and sends the orders to a full-time employee in charge of litter cleanup.
A few years ago, City Council funded a full-time employee with a van and six inmates and a trailer, Coakley said. They dont do anything but pick up litter 40 hours a week. This hotline helps me know where to send them if people call in. It may not be the same day, but the secretary checks it daily and logs it in a work order system.
Residents can call in just about anything sitting in a City of Aiken right-of-way, Coakley said.
Theres always litter somewhere, and they (staff) will find something to pick up, Coakley said. Hopefully, everyone calls and lets us know whats going on. It helps us to be more reactive.
To call in litter, call the hotline at 803-502-4999.

I'm baaaack! I've actually been cooking the whole time we've been working on the kitchen in our fixer upper but my menus were a little unusual given the fact that I didn't have a stove, oven or sink and was doing most of my cooking in the living room or dining room using crock pots, the rice cooker and the microwave.
The kitchen isn't done yet but it's usable. Yes!!! So here's this week's menu, all back to normal.
Teriyaki Chicken
Green Bean & Mozzarella Salad
NOTE: I used a Lawry's marinade for the chicken – just to keep things simple. Even though the kitchen is usable, sometimes David's using it and I can't. A bottled marinade allowed me to get in and out of the kitchen quickly.
One Pan Chicken & Potatoes
Herbed Flatbread
Best Ever Meat Loaf
Velveeta Macaroni & Cheese
Green Beans
Blueberry Muffins
NOTE: The muffins were a mix. I have some very good muffin recipes but I was trying to save time.
Pimiento & Chilies Cheese Dip
Sloppy Joes (Manwich)
Oven baked fries (Ore Ida)
DESSERT: Peanut Butter Bars
(family favorite & my go-to recipe if I need dessert fast)
More menu ideas are available here and

Sounds good to me.
Sounds good to me.
"I know what my body needs and what it can handle. There's no better way to achieve my goal than what im doing now. If my regimen leads to my death, be it in six days or six months...I will die fullfiled. The outcome is irrelavent so long as i steer towards my fate. If death is to be my prize, i welcome it with open arms."
"A pound of meat a day keeps the doctor away"
Sod it then I'll start guzzling down the coconut milk!
Coconut milk question: Where are the coconut's udders and how do you attach them to the milking machine?
But seriously, coconut milk is a great source of fat which is good for energy, but if you're trying to gain weight by building muscle then it's protein that you want. Coconut is not a great source of protein.
I'm actually trying to up my body fat. So your saying coconut milk is perfect to help me with that?
Im no expert, but if you want body fat i think you want carbs, perferably starchy veggies. Potatos and stuff.
Mmmmmmm just got the idea of making mashed potatos with coconut milk
Sure, if you just want to add some fat to your diet then coconut milk would be a good primal way to add some calories. I'm trying to get my body fat percentage down a bit lower than it is now still so, adding body fat seems like a very foreign concept to me.
Thanks. And yes I think the vast majority of primal heads are tryin to lose body fat.
Ok so I'll give it ago and I think I'll add sweet potatoes somewhere in the loop.
You're right. Why are you wanting to add fat out of curiosity?

Using Table 5-1, answer the following question.
Table 5-1 Components of a Package Insert: Section, Description, and Example Information
Example Information
Chemical and physical description of the drug
Aricept® (donepezil hydrochloride) is a reversible of the drug inhibitor of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, known chemically as (±)−2, 3-dihydro-5, 5-dimethoxy-2- [[1-(phenylmethyl)-4 -piperidinyl] methyl]-1 H-inden-1- one hydrochloride.
Clinical pharmacology
Description of the actions of the drug
Current theories on the pathogenesis of the cognitive signs and symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease attribute some of them to a deficiency of cholinergic neurotransmission.
Indications and usage
Medical conditions in which the drug is safe and effective; instructions for use
Aricept® is indicated for the treatment of mild to moderate dementia of the Alzheimer's type.
Conditions and situations under which the drug should not be administered
Aricept® is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to donepezil hydrochloride or to piperidine derivatives.
Information about serious, possibly fatal, side effects
Gastrointestinal conditions: Through their primary action, cholinesterase inhibitors may be expected to increase gastric acid secretion due to increased cholinergic activity.
Information about drug interactions and other conditions that may cause unwanted side effects
Use with anticholinergics: Because of their mechanism of action, cholinesterase inhibitors have the potential to interfere with the activity of anticholinergic medications.
Adverse reactions
Less serious, anticipated side effects that can be caused by the drug
These include nausea, diarrhea, insomnia, vomiting, muscle cramps, fatigue, and anorexia. These adverse events were often of mild intensity and transient, resolving during continued Aricept® treatment without the need for dose modification.
Effects of overdoses and instructions for treatment
As in any case of overdose, general supportive measures should be utilized. Overdosage with cholinesterase inhibitors can result in cholinergic crisis characterized by severe nausea, vomiting, salivation, sweating, bradycardia, hypotension, respiratory depression, collapse, and convulsions.
Dosage and administration
Recommended dosages under various conditions and recommendations for administration routes
The dosages of Aricept® shown to be effective in controlled clinical trials are 5 mg and 10 mg administered once per day.
Preparation for administration
Directions for reconstituting or diluting the drug, if necessary
Aricept® should be taken in the evening, just prior to retiring. Aricept® can be taken with or without food.

The Great Green North
-FINALLY finished. I revamped the ending to this chapter as me and my beta (Diamondpearl876) thought some one was developed too drastically.
-After mind numbing time of choosing a chapter title, I was listening through my playlist and happened to come across the Eiffel 65 song and the lyrics, I felt had to do with the chapter, very much.
Now Isn't Forever
"Hey! I'm home!" a smug but deep, calmed voice rang out. It sounded as if it belonged to one of those hardcore surfers who constantly said "radical" and "bodacious". A door could be heard closing as well as two pairs of footsteps.
I quickly stood up from my desk where I was drawing a picture of a Geodude for school. My body was not that of my regular maturity. I looked in the mirror and saw that I was my nine year old self. It didn't cross my mind that I should be sixteen… or was it seventeen now? I ran out of my room and pedaled down the stairs. I stopped on the landing to see my brother to my left. He was much taller than I; he was tall enough so that our heads were level when I was three stairs off of the floor. He was an almost fanatic bodybuilder, which was obvious from his suntanned, muscular arms. He smiled at me and took off his shoes. I scanned his belt, which separated his beige Beastie Boys t-shirt from his baggy olive pants and noticed a red and white sphere known as a 'pokeball' on it. I could see something green behind his short, dark brown hair that was gelled up. It was his seventeenth birthday, so he used this milestone as an opportunity to get his first pokemon.
"Hey, Jeffrey," my brother, Keanu, said with a mellow tone. "Is Mom home?"
"Yeah, she's out back with Chikorita… did you get a pokemon?!" I asked with eagerness.
"Yeah… Jeffrey, this is Sawyer, my new friend." From behind Keanu's head jumped down a light green lizard with two green tails and a red underbelly. The lizard pokemon grinned at me. It was the coolest pokemon I had ever seen!
"Awesome! That's so cool! Why did you call it Sawyer, Keanu? Why not something like Leafy or Rex?" I asked. My creative vocabulary was lacking considerably at that age. The Treecko gave a hurt look.
"First of all, Sawyer's a HE not an IT. Remember that knowing your pokemon's gender is important when forming a bond for when you get your first pokemon. I mean, how would you feel to be called an IT?"
I looked at the ground in shame. "Sorry, Sawyer," I apologized. The wood gecko nodded, accepting my request for forgiveness.
"Anyways, my favorite book was 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' and Sawyer means, I think, either wood or woodcutter or something and a Treecko IS a WOOD gecko pokemon," Keanu replied proudly. "Also, both of those are crap names for Sawyer here."
The Treecko chuckled and began to curiously look around the hallway. I stared in awe at the miraculous pokemon. I couldn't help but feel jealous.
"Well, I'm going to say goodbye to her and then I'm finally off," stated Keanu.
"'Off'? You mean you're leaving?!" I asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, I finally have my first pokemon and I've gotten all I could from Professor Birch's classes, so I have no reason not to!" he explained while disappearing into the kitchen.
I sat on the steps and placed my head in my hands. I couldn't believe that he was actually leaving! It just didn't seem fair. Why did my brother, who I idolized, have to leave me here alone?! Did he even think about what he was leaving behind? I knew it was selfish of me and I wouldn't be able to change his mind but I was sad and frustrated.
I let out a soft sob through hands which covered my face. I remained there in the dark of my hands for a few minutes. All of a sudden I felt a warm, comforting hand on my shoulder. I turned an eye and saw that it was Sawyer! I quickly turned my head away and wiped the tears from my face before looking back. Sawyer let out an all-knowing grin and continued to pat my shoulder.
"Thanks, Sawyer," I smiled. "You're a great pokemon."
The Treecko blushed and scratched the back of his head. Keanu came back in the hallway, now carrying a massive hiking backpack.
"You ready, Sawyer?" Keanu asked him, smiling.
It seemed like he was TOO eager to leave.
Sawyer nodded, gave me final pat on the shoulder and leaped from the stairs to Keanu's shoulder.
"See you around, Jeffrey; we'll be back sometime…"
"Bye, Keanu. Bye, Sawyer. I'll see you later. Oh… and it's 'Jeff'!" I replied with a hint of contempt.
Keanu and I shook hands and he opened the door. I made eye contact with the yellow eyes lizard before the door created a sight barrier between us. Once they were out of sight, I quickly ran upstairs and jumped face down on my bed. I let out a few uncontrolled weeps before collecting myself in my sheets.
I can't believe he's gone.
I wiped the tears from my eyes and looked up at my white ceiling. I started to think about Sawyer, the Treecko.
Ever since I've set my eyes on that pokemon I've decided that that would be my first pokemon, no matter what.
I don't care how much the Treecko hates me; I'm going to make sure to love it and care for it as much as possible! Eventually we're going to become best friends and we'll battle together, play together, and travel together, just like Keanu and Sawyer! I promise that we're going to become best of friends and NOTHING will be able to drive us apart. Nothing.
Jeff's eyes shot open. He blinked back glazed eyes. He looked down to find Corphish and Daedalus sprawled on his chest. Jeff looked to the right side of his head, expecting Treecko to be sleeping beside him. He let out a sad sigh and looked upwards.
It's funny how things turned out
Jeff felt a heavy, warm breeze blowing onto his left side. It felt kind of dewy. Jeff closed his eyes. The moist wind continued at a continuous pace every four seconds. Irritated and dazed, Jeff opened his eyes and turned his head to his right side.
He noticed a large boulder like form beside him. The rock was almost shaped like a face. It appeared to have eyes, a large mouth, and a nose. On the top of the boulder was a large, oddly shaped, pointed crest. On the side, going from the apparent mouth, past the pseudo-left eye was a very deep, gray slash mark, as if somebody cut the rock like King Arthur and Excalibur. Jeff tried to look around the weird rock and found out that attached to the boulder was more boulders. The boulders created a chain, going around in a circle around the group. The stones became smaller as they went along. Jeff was surprisingly passive to the situation.
Was there a crazy avalanche or something
?" Jeff thought, staring at the linked rock formation.
He turned his head back towards the largest rock. He noticed that the rock, that he thought was an eye, fluttered, revealing a white, glossy interior. Jeff looked back up at the dawn sky. The fact suddenly sunk in. He darted his head towards the face that he thought was a rock and quickly sat up. He scooted away from his head, backing against the tail that was coiled around the campsite.
"Is th-that a pok… kemon?"
The pokemon opened its mouth and yawned in a bass, throaty groan. The yawn was so powerful that Jeff's hair was blown towards the pokemon on the inhale, but then his whole body was pushed back with the mightier exhale. Corphish and Daedalus were both awoken by Jeff's moving. They stared at the giant sleeping pokemon and jumped to Jeff's side.
"<An Onix!>" Corphish exclaimed.
"<What's it doing all the way over here?!>"
"Ok, guys? Climb on my back and we might be able to get over the end of its tail without waking it."
It was too late. The Onix lifted up its scarred head, let out a roar and extended its tail; it was like it was stretching. It rose like a tree and towered over the three. It peered down at the travelers and nodded.
"<Please don't eat me! I'm very sharp and I taste of feet!>" Corphish pleaded.
Onix licked his lips and grinned. "<Don't worry little Corphish, I do not eat other pokemon.>"
Corphish let out a sigh of relief.
"<Where exactly am I? I've been lost since yesterday,>" Onix asked, looking around him.
"<You're about a kilometer east of Petalburg City,>" Daedalus informed.
"<What?! They airlifted me to the MAINLAND?!>" the large Onix roared.
Jeff stepped back; he was sure the Onix would attack them.
"<They? Who's they?>" Daedalus continued to grill.
"<The humans of Dewford Island! I remember something hit my scar and then I woke up, suspended by two helicopters over the water. I was sure I would die.>"
"<So the humans knocked you out and dumped you here?>" Daedalus asked with contempt in his voice.
"<No. The human's didn't knock me out… they just took me here. I don't remember what happened in between," explained the Onix.
"<What happened before that?>"
"<I'd… rather not talk about it… >" the massive rock snake mumbled, looking away.
"<Well my name is Daedalus!>" the flying type introduced himself in merriment. "<That is Corppy, and the human is Jeff. Don't worry, Jeff isn't one of the bad humans.>"
"<It's nice to meet you all. I was called by my c… my name was… just call me Atlas,>" the Onix struggled to mumble in a sulking bass.
"<Nice to meet you, Atlas. That scar on your face looks pretty fresh and… REALLY deep! You should have that bandaged or something. How did you get it?>" Daedalus asked.
Atlas pretended not to hear him and he looked around the sky and the surrounding scenery. "<You don't happen to know how to get back to Dewford… do you?>"
"<The way we're getting there is by ferry… although I don't know why we're bothering to go there,>" Daedalus informed him.
Jeff, frustrated for being left out of the pokespeech, hopped over Atlas' tail and sulked towards the tree line on the edge on the clearing. He sat down in the grass and looked into the forest.
The Onix noticed this and asked, "<What's wrong with your human… Jeff?>"
A wave of solemn feelings returned to the party.
"<I am sorry, did I say something wrong?>" Atlas asked, puzzled and embarrassed.
"<No, it's not your fault. We've… recently had a Treecko, Jeff's best friend, leave…>" Daedalus enlightened the rock snake pokemon.
"<The green, selfish b*stard,>" Corphish muttered to himself.
"<I think I should say something to him,>" the Onix told them. "<Hey, Jeff!>"
Jeff didn't turn or reply. For all he knew, Atlas was talking to the others.
"<Can he understand me?>"
"<Maybe if you scared us half to death two days before tonight,>" Corphish told him.
Atlas tilted his head in confusion. "<I don't understand…>"
"<You seem like a good guy, and, no offense, but it doesn't look like you'd have anyone to tell…>"
The Onix let out a grunt from his nose. The exhale was so powerful that Daedalus had to dig his talons into the earth to keep from being blown back. Corphish, however, went somersaulting behind him.
"<…Sorry,>" Atlas apologized, scratching the back of his head with his tail, sheepishly. Daedalus nodded and began to explain what had happened with Jeff.

We see a future where every pet finds a lifelong, loving home. We are a nonprofit that saves the lives of homeless pets.
By partnering, donating and volunteering, we support organizations dedicated to improving their communities.
We can connect you with the right pet. Save a life today.
Accidents happen. If you're a new pet parent, you know they just come with territory of training a young, developing pup. While consistent potty training can help you keep accidents to a minimum, thorough knowledge of pet odor removal will not only keep your home smelling fresh, but it will also help discourage a pet from marking the same spot again...
The goal of cleaning up after an accident is not only to clean the area, but neutralize the odor, too. Because dogs have a keen sense of smell, they will often go back to the same spot to eliminate. That's why it's important not to rely on chemical cleaners to clean up after accidents. These products may remove stains, but they may not fully remove the odor that's left behind.
In fact, using a chemical cleaner to clean up an accident can sometimes do more harm than good-especially if you use an ammonia-based cleaner. Ammonia is a component of urine and may actually make an area more attractive for a pet to eliminate - encouraging new pet messes!
To eliminate pet odor and stains, the best choice is an enzyme-based cleaner. There are many enzymatic cleaners on the market today, and these enzymes offer an effective, natural solution to pet odor removal. These products treat stains and odors simultaneously on a variety of surfaces from carpets, furniture fabrics, floors, car interiors, pet beds, and hardwoods to clothing and even stone surfaces. Just check the label to find out what surfaces the product treats and be sure to follow instructions for effective use.
If you have pet odor problem, but are not sure where it's coming from, consider investing in a black light. Black lights illuminate urine stains that would otherwise be difficult to see.
Training pads are a convenient and helpful way to teach your puppy where it's appropriate to go. Many have pheromone scents or attractants to appeal to your pet. They feature plastic backing and sealed edges to protect the floors of your home. Training pads are ideal for puppies, indoor dogs, or sick dogs that can't be walked during the day.

TOPIC: Domestic Inquiry
Domestic Inquiry 23 Feb 2012 07:53 #1

Domestic Inquiry
Employers are often faced with the daunting task of handling disciplinary problems in the workplace. It is an easy option for management to terminate an employee the moment an offence considered graved is committed, however there are negative repercussion involve if it is not done in a proper manner. Dismissal has to be justified and it is the responsibility of the employer to prove the existence of such misconduct in a manner deemed fair.
A method often used to handle disciplinary problem at the workplace is Domestic Inquiry (DI).
DI is conducted by the Management to investigate and to establish facts to a disciplinary act committed by an employee. In the process, recommended punishment is administered.
This article will provide an insight on the mechanics of a proper DI proceeding. Part One of this article will provide a general view of DI and its implication, while Part Two, will provide a step-by-step guide when conducting a DI.
It is mandatory for companies to conduct DI prior to the employee being punished for a misconduct. The following two (2) situations would justify the need to hold a DI:
Firstly, DI has to be conducted in compliance with Section 14(1) of Employment Act 1955 (Dreamland Corp. (M) Sdn Bhd V Choong Chin Sooi & Anor). However should there be a willful breach by the employee of a condition of the contract of service, such as refusing to perform duties, which are agreed under the contract of service, a due inquiry need not be conducted, Section 13 (2). To strengthen the case, and to proof the breach it is still advisable to conduct a DI.
Secondly, DI has always been looked at as a fair and proper way to handle a disciplinary problem. It allows the employees the opportunity to defend themselves in the presence of a neutral panel, and the management to investigate the case further without making hasty decisions. This second situation arises on the principle of Natural Justice.
It has to be noted that by conducting a DI and subsequently finding the employee guilty of such charges, does not necessary lead to a dismissal. The punishment administered has to be congruent to the gravity of the misconduct. In the case of Theen Seng Paper Manufacturing Sdn Bhd vs 6 employees represented by Paper and Paper Products Manufacturing Employees Union, six employees were terminated for being absent from work for a day. It was held that the punishment administered by the management of Theen Seng Paper was too harsh and does not justify a termination of service.
The Employment Act does not specify a set rule in conducting a DI, however some guidelines as provided in the Malaysian Employment Handbook (CCH Asia Limited 1995) are worth noting, and this includes:
•DI should be conducted within a short period after suspension of duty
•Charges brought against the employee should be precise and in writing
•The employee concern should be given ample time to prepare for his case and to consult
•During the DI, the employee should be allowed to be accompanied/assisted by his union representative (if unionized).
•DI should be conducted preferably by parties within the company who are not directly connected with the investigation and had no prior knowledge of the allegation.
•The recording of notes should be administered in a "question and answer" format, and both parties are required to sign the notes of proceeding to maintain fairness in reporting.
•Witnesses brought in during the DI can give their evidence in the presence of the accused employee.
•The panel of inquiry's decision should be based upon the recorded notes and act in an unbiased manner when arriving at a decision.
The period of suspension prior to DI is permitted for a maximum period of 2 weeks with half pay. This is only applicable for those employees falling within the scope of the EA. Should the accused employee be found not guilty of the charges placed against him, the employer shall restore to the employee the full amount of wages with-held and to reinstate the employee to the former position held with the same benefits and remuneration.
A typical DI would have a Chairman (C), Panel Members (PM), Secretary (S), Prosecuting Officer (PO) and an Investigation Officer (IO).
Inquiry officers or panel members are nominated by the Head of Human Resources after consultation with the division heads. The ideal number of panel members would be between 3-5 including the Chairman. The rank of the Chairman has to be equal if not more superior to the rest of the members.
The PM should conduct the case with an open mind and not be influence by the character of the accused employee. PM should not be briefed of the case prior to the DI, and they should not attempt to find out about the case through the grapevine as these may unfairly influence the outcome of the DI.
The PO's role is merely to prosecute the case and leave questions pertaining to the employee's guilt to the panel of inquiry. The PO should not be part of the panel neither has he/she the right to make decision regarding the accused.
Prior to the DI proper, the Investigating Officer (IO) role is to conduct a preliminary investigation to determine if a prima facie case exist. During the DI the investigation officer is required to read and present the case in a chronological manner commencing from the moment a misconduct is lodged, the process involved during the investigation period, and finally to the submission of statements made by witnesses or evidence related to the case in question. All statements made are confined to facts and no personal opinion is encouraged.

2. Procedure of Domestic Inquiry, Jawatankuasa Kaunseling Insitu, Jabatan Buruh Selangor/W.P.
3. Malaysian Employers' Handbook, 1995 CCH Asia Limited.
Glossary: Ex Parte: Inquiry held, even without the attendance of the accused employee, often willfully or without reasonable excuse. Prima facie: on the surface
Section 13(2) states that "either party to a contract of service may terminate such contract of service without notice in the event of any willful breach by the other party of a condition of the Contract of Service"
Section 14(1) states that "an employer may, on the grounds of misconduct, inconsistent with the fulfillment of the express or implied conditions of his services, after due inquiry, dismiss without notice the employee".
Natural Justice principals states that: 1. Both sides shall be heard, and 2. No man shall be a judge in his cause.
STEP 1: Preliminary Investigation Upon Receiving Report of Alleged Misconduct
In order to proceed with a suspension and DI, the Management (upon receiving a report of an alleged misconduct) has to conduct a preliminary investigation to find out if a prima facie case exists to justify a disciplinary proceeding.
Should there be a case, a Show Cause letter or a Charge Sheet will be issued to the accused employee stating the charges leveled against the employee and the time period to respond to such charges. If the answer given is not satisfactory then the management can proceed with issuing a Notice of Inquiry.
STEP 2: Notice Of Inquiry
The notice of inquiry should contain the charges (charges has to relate to the company rules and regulations) and be as specific as possible. If more than one charge are leveled against the accused, the subsequent charges should be in separate paragraphs.
It should also contain the time, date and place of the hearing. If suspension is to be administered prior to the DI to facilitate further investigation, it should not be more than 2 weeks (EA Section 14-2) with half pay.
The Notice of Inquiry should also contain an avenue for the accused to bring a witness to the inquiry or to be represented by a Union member.
STEP 3: Hearing
A proper DI should commence with the following statement read out by the investigating officer:
i. Hearing ii. Date and time of inquiry iii. Venue of the inquiry iv. Name and designation of the accused v. Nature of Misconduct vi. Designation of Panel Members
If the accused employee is absent without any explanation, even after a Notice of Inquiry has been served, the board can proceed with the hearing ex-parte.
If the accused is present, the charge(s) will be read out and his plea will be recorded. The plea is either guilty or not guilty. If the accused pleads guilty to a charge(s) then he/she will be given the chance to explain the circumstances, which led to the misconduct. The accused will also be allowed to express a plea for a lesser punishment.
For charges, which the employee does not admit, the burden of proof lies on the company. They now need to adduce evidence to proof the charges. Hence this may include calling in the company's witnesses. The witness will, be subjected to cross-examination by the accused employee, as well as from the panel members present.
Similarly the recording of evidence and cross-examination of the accused by company representative and panel members will be conducted during the proceeding of the inquiry.
Step 4: Findings and Decision of the Board of Inquiry
The findings of the Panel Members will be based on the recordings taken during the duration of the proceeding. It should be clear, precise and unambiguous. The main function of the board at this juncture will be to determine if the alleged misconduct has been committed. If the accused is proven guilty then a suitable punishment will be decided. The Board of Enquiry may sometime not given the authority to decide on the form of punishment. If this arises, then the form of punishment would be left to the Head of Human Resources to decide.
A DI does not necessary leads to a termination of service. As mentioned earlier the punishment administered has to be congruent to the misconduct. The Employer may seek reference to the EA when deciding a punishment. Section 14 of the EA 1955 states that an employer can downgrade the employee or imposed any lesser punishment deemed just and fit against the offence committed. The employer can also suspend the employee from work without pay, but shall not exceed 2 weeks.
Other forms of punishment which has been practiced by companies includes demotion, deferment or stoppage of annual increment, not eligible for bonus, stern verbal or written warning (written warning are only valid for a period of not more than 12 months).
Appeal or a plea for mitigation sometimes arises when the accused employee find the punishment imposed unfair. If the employee is not satisfied with the outcome of the DI, he/she can appeal to the Management to have the decision of the DI reviewed, revised or reduced to a lesser punishment.
Usually the decision made by the Management is final, however, if the employee is still not satisfied with the decision made then he has 60 days to file a report to the Director General of the IR under Section 20 (1). Or the employee concern can lodge a complain to the Director General under Section 69 (3) of the Employment Act 1955 within 30 days from date on which the decision of the DI was communicated.

Flat Broke: The Theory, Practice and Destructive Properties of Greedby Gary Paulsen
View All Available Formats & Editions
From the Hardcover Library Binding edition.
Kevin struggled to overcome his knack for lying in Liar, Liar, and now he's back for another round of mayhem and misunderstandings in this financial comedy of errors. In Kevin, Gary Paulsen has created an appealing teen boy character who is just as human and fallible as his readers.
From the Hardcover Library Binding edition.
Editorial Reviews
"If the unnamed narrator of Paulsen's Lawn Boy (2007) is the plucky entrepreneur who skyrockets to riches, Kevin is the wannabe mogul who sees an angle a mile away but trips over his own sky's-the-limit aspirations. A glib, quick read to launch a thousand MBAs."
A 14-year-old greedily launches himself headlong into the entrepreneurial world, with amusing consequences.
In the sequel to Liar, Liar (2011), Kevin's parents have taken away his allowance to punish him for his creative lying. Never impeded by misfortune (or a guilty conscience or the advice of everyone wiser than he), he decides it's a great time to make money. First he provides the perfect venue for poker games, even though some of his hapless player-victims begin to lose more money than they have. With the gambling business running admirably, he starts cleaning neighbors' garages, not worrying that depositing the trash in store Dumpsters is illegal. Then he begins "borrowing" a golf cart to sell cookies and coffee to college students. But he steps on too many people on the way up, inevitably leading to his downfall. Kevin's good-natured—if oversimplified—view of the world is pretty funny, and while readers will anticipate problems long before he does, it just adds to the fun. Chapter titles taken from a fictitious book on making money—"The Successful Person Has Vision That Others Lack," for example—contrast nicely with the disastrous outcome of Kevin's grandiose plans. That his droll first-person account only lightly sketches other characters hardly matters.
A jocular, fast-paced voyage into the sometimes simple but never quiet mind of an ambitious eighth grader. (Fiction. 9-12)

Gary Paulsen is a hugely hysterical YA writer who created this story as a follow-up for his outstanding book, Liar, Liar. In this new adventure for Kevin, he is struggling with the fact that, because of all his lies last time around, he has since lost his allowance, lost his part-time job at Aunt Buzzie's shop, and his babysitting money that he gets for watching Markie after school may just dry up as well, because Markie's parents are getting a divorce and fighting about money. Kevin is still pining away for Tina - The Most Beautiful Girl in the World - and he knows that, without a little cash, she's never going to be his girlfriend. Not only that, but it will be impossible to invite her to the school dance if he doesn't have any money to pay for the tickets. Soon Kevin joins forces with his best friend JonPaul (the jock/health nut who is a real germophobe and is frightened by absolutely everything that has to do with dirt, snot, or saliva) to become a true entrepreneur. One idea Kevin comes up with is running poker games, and taking a percentage because he supplies the chips, cards, room, and junk food. He also takes the gift his sister has for make-up and hair care and rents her out as a supreme stylist to her friends, as well as taking the time to clean up all of his neighbor's garages for a large fee. What this entrepreneur doesn't count on is the fact that with a new business, you also have to know the rules. And all the ideas poor Kevin seems to come up with are making people even more angry than they were about the lying incidents in the recent past. Again, Gary Paulsen has the wit, charm, and 'laugh-out-loud' lines that bring us all back to a time when we were that kid just struggling to get by in the real world. Memories come flooding back about that perfect sister who was a real pain in the butt, as well as neighbors who just didn't understand that what we were doing was in order to get rich - just like what they were doing out there in the real world before they became cantankerous old farts. Quill Says: A fantastic read, as always, from the great Mr. Paulsen. All fans will look forward to what Kevin has up his sleeve for the next time around.
To me, most YA humor books stink. Gary Paulsen, however, knows how to get it right. While many other books do things that no person our age would find funny, this book has perfect humor—slight quirks in characters, the MC's POV is relatable/funny, etc. Also, it knows how to keep us hooked with the slight relationship drama, the family drama, and the business drama. It isn't a big hook, but accompanied by humor, it'll keep you reading. Finally, the emotions. Perfect. In every way. So realistic and relatable when the character describes sad experiences. And the writing, although not filled with stunning vocab, is full of life and humor, and is great to read.
Have u all read the series?????????
I really like this story and how its put together
Teh furst one was good
?dooG koob !!!!!!!!!I evol sgorf. Read this backwards.
I started out reading "Lawnmower Boy" by picking up a copy at the library spring, used book sale. Before sending it to my grandson, I thought I should read it first. I loved every minute of it and sent it to my very sophisticated, (reader), 8 yr. old grandson. He liked it so I decided to order some more. I don't know how far he has gotten into the series I sent him, but I understand that his 12 yr. old sister picked it up and read and enjoyed it (she does not have a big interest in reading!). So so far I think these will be a hit for my Ga. grandchildren. I will tell you more when I talk to them next time!! But I will say this grandmother has discovered a new author and am enjoying him thoroughtly!!
Yeah yeah i know i want the book. HOW DO YOU GET UPSIDE DOWN QUESTION MARKS? I JUST GOT THIS NOOK?!
This book is a great kids book

RATINGS: 625 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.68/5 SEASONAL: Special IBU: 100 EST. CALORIES: 300 ABV: 10%
2011 marks the 100th birthday of Mississippi Delta bluesman Robert Johnson who, according to legend, sold his soul down at the crossroads in a midnight bargain and changed music forever. Working again with our friends at Sony Legacy (yup, the same folks we did our Miles Davis-inspired Bitches Brew with), Dogfish Head pays tribute to this blues legend by gettin the hellhounds off his trail and into this finely-crafted ale. Hellhound is a super-hoppy ale that hits 100 IBUs in the brewhouse, 10.0 ABV, 10.0 SRM in color, and dry-hopped with 100% centennial hops at a rate of 100 kilos per 100 barrel brew-length. Can you tell we at Dogfish are stoked for this mighty musical centennial? To accentuate and magnify the citrusy notes of the centennial hops (and as a shout out to Robert Johnsons mentor Blind Lemon Jefferson) we add dried lemon peel and flesh to the whirlpool.

Actually, welfare states as they exist today work against the ideal of brotherhood. I used to wonder why, after all the taxes I had paid over many decades, I had never had even a single word of thanks or appreciation from any welfare recipient. Not even from one of them, not even once. Ungrateful bastards.
Then, I came to understand that the welfare state is designed that way. Instead of promoting brotherhood through personal contact between helpers and helped, the welfare state encourages the recipients of benefits to shower their thanks instead on the politicians that front the system. And to ignore or, worse, feel antipathy or even class hatred towards the people whose earned money was stolen to provide them with benefits.

Brighton Rock

- Events
Screenwriter Rowan Joffe's debut feature "Brighton Rock" embraces the classic elements of film noir and the British gangster film to tell the story of Pinkie, a desperate youth who is hell bent on clawing his way up through the ranks of organized crime. When a young and very innocent waitress, Rose, stumbles on evidence linking him to a revenge killing, he sets out to seduce her to secure her silence. The film stars up-and-coming British actors Sam Riley ("Control," "On the Road") and Andrea Riseborough ("Made in Dagenham," "Never Let me go") as the young couple. Veterans Helen Mirren and John Hurt co-star as two friends who set out to save Rose from Pinkie's deviant designs. "Brighton Rock" is based on the iconic 1939 Graham Greene novel of innocence and evil but the action has been updated to 1964 Britain, the year the Mods and the Rockers were rioting across the South Coast. The '60s were also the era of the great British gangster, the kind of working class hero, the frightened and ambitious Pinkie longs to be.

Follow Christie's lead
Although I have strongly disagreed with a number of his plans for New Jersey, I have to praise and respect Gov. Christie for his actions relating to Superstorm Sandy ("Christie's approval rating soars in Sandy's aftermath," Thursday).
Reaching out to those who could help his state, like President Obama and U.S. Sens. Robert Menendez and Frank Lautenberg, all Democrats, demonstrated that Christie was willing to do everything in his power to help and improve things for the people of his state, even if it meant incurring the wrath of many Republicans.

Combined A.B./Sc.B.
Approximately 20 percent of Brown students complete their baccalaureate degrees with more than one concentration within the standard four years of study. They receive one degree (either the AB or the ScB), but both concentrations are noted on official transcripts. There is also an option for students to graduate with a single, combined A.B.-Sc.B degree which requires minimally 38 credits and 10 semesters of enrollment (five years).
Students who follow this path organize a five-year program of study in which the work for the single, combined degree proceeds concurrently. Students interested in pursuing this five-year option must declare their intentions by the end of their fifth semester. Students who miss the fifth-semester deadline due to qualifying extenuating circumstances may seek approval from the Committee on Academic Standing to join the program late. All cases where exceptions are sought must be resolved before the end of the petitioning student's sixth semester. Petitions from seniors will not be approved nor considered by the Committee on Academic Standing.
Exceptional students may be allowed to complete the combined degrees in nine semesters, rather than ten, but must meet all requirements and must have the approval of the Committee on Academic Standing. Contact Dean Oludurotimi Adetunji, the Combined Degree Dean for more information.
Concurrent Baccalaureate/Master's Degree
This program allows exceptionally capable students to combine their last year or two of undergraduate study with graduate study, resulting in the simultaneous completion of both a baccalaureate degree and a master's degree. Eligible students will have achieved a record of academic excellence that demonstrates depth as well as breadth. Entrance requirements into this program are numerous and quite specific. Interested students are advised to acquaint themselves with program guidelines early in their college career.
Students who meet entrance requirements for the Concurrent Degree Program apply to both the Committee on Academic Standing (CAS) and to the Graduate School in their sixth term of study. No late applications are accepted. Approved applications are then reviewed by the Graduate Council and the appropriate department, which may place additional requirements on admission to this special program. Contact Dean Christopher Dennis for more information.
5th-year Master's Program
Brown's 5th-year Master's Program allows degree-seeking Brown undergraduates to pursue a master's degree in select departments in the year immediately following completion of the undergraduate degree. Eligible students must apply for admission to this program before they complete the baccalaureate degree. Admission must be approved by the department in which the master's degree is sought as well as by the Graduate School. Academic departments that participate in this program are listed in the PDF below. Contact Shayna Kessel, Associate Dean of the Graduate School, for more information.

McNeese's Ashlyn Baggett, Kendra Wells honored for 1,000th point
LAKE CHARLES – Last Saturday senior Kendra Wells and junior Ashlyn Baggett were presented a commemorative basketball signifying their 1,000th career point scored. Both players reached the milestone in the Dec. 16 home game against LSU.
"What an accomplishment! It would be awesome to have one of our girls reach that milestone but two on the same night is amazing! I am so proud of what both Kitty (Kendra Wells) and Ashlyn have done and are continuing to do for this program. We are all very proud of them both," said head coach Brooks Donald Williams.
Wells and Baggett were the 13th and 14th players to score 1,000 career points and are the first two to reach 1,000 points in the same year at McNeese. Since then, Baggett has moved up to seventh on the all-time career scoring leaders while Wells moved has moved up to no. 11.
While Baggett became the career three-point leader at Stephen F. Austin on Feb. 4, Wells is also inching closer to 1,000 career rebounds. The only other McNeese player to reach the 1,000 career rebound mark is Hall of Famer Pat "Shoney" Jean. Jean is also the only player to score 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds in her career.
McNeesee could possibly have a third player score her 1,000th career point this season in junior Caitlyn Baggett. Entering this weeks games at UTSA and Northwestern State, Baggett has 961 career points.
"To add a third player to the 1,000 point club and Kitty possibly reaching 1,000 rebounds this season would be just incredible. Three players on one team to accomplish such a huge honor is outstanding! It just shows how far this program has come and how much we have grown," said Williams.

After Romney decisively won the first round, Obama staged an impressive recovery a week after.
Overall, performance of candidates in debates have proved to be the tipping point. That rare misstep; that gaffe; that uncalculated remark that portrays a contender as having miscued the spirit that defines the moment, may be all it takes for a candidate's dreams to come tumbling down.
The Associated Press wrote that though presidential debates are seldom determinative, they can alter the direction or pause the momentum of a presidential contest.
It actually offers a platform for the candidates to take on their opponents and the public a chance to see their leaders up and close.
The Ipsos Synovate and Infotrack opinion polls released two weeks ago predict a tie in the election outcome and 10 per cent of the voters are considered undecided, which according to Ambitho, mostly represent the chattering classes.
That is why the debate could be the ultimate game-changer as the hitherto aloof middle-class are sucked into the electoral maestro.
Debating ability
"Apart from the undecided voters, there may be some middle class voters who whilst they have made their choice on presidential candidates, may change their minds based on the competence and debating ability of the candidates."
In truth, the debates may provide a regulated media in which the politicians can address the politically indifferent middle class.
After the rigmarole of the campaign trail where sometimes the message is tweaked and distorted to suit the audience, the contenders bring their message live.
This is where the personal character and the demeanour of the candidates are assessed. It is where, like at a job interview, past achievements matter more than future promises laced with exaggerations. After all, these six are competing to turn around the fortunes of a country long on promise and short on achievements.
The audience of a debate will comprise of the 'objective' voter who understands issues will almost certainly side with a leader seen "to have a better grasp of the issues."

Herbal Teas - From hibiscus to mint to chamomile, the possibilities are practically endless when it comes to herbal teas or tisanes. • 2 Rooibos - With its naturally sweet, woody, tobacco-y flavor, rooibos has a depth that makes it a good alternative to coffee. • 3 Roasted Grains - For an earthy, roasted flavor, try Korean (and Japanese) teas made from barley (bori cha), corn (oksusu cha), or brown rice (hyeonmi cha). • 4 White Coffee - This Lebanese after-dinner beverage is made with sweet-scented orange flower water. • 5 Ginger Honey Lemon Tonic - Perfect for chilly winter days, and particularly soothing for sore throats and stomach aches.
