With over twelve years of admissions experience at both the private school and college levels, I offer a variety of services to parents and students as they apply to schools. I ask that parents understand that these services are intended to clarify and support the school application process for their children rather than "package" their children. In the long run it undermines both the student and the receiving school. And, admissions professionals can tell when students have received too much help, causing them to present very differently in their application materials than they do in their school records. I strive to empower students (especially older ones) to take ownership of their own application processes, and I work closely with students and parents to preserve the integrity of the admissions process by helping students shine without doing too much for them.
With this in mind, I offer the following admissions services:
- Application strategies and logistics, including recommendations for test prep, tutoring, curriculum, and any needed remediation or enrichment
- Advice on how to present student profiles in the best light, regardless of academic ability
- Mock interview practice and feedback for students
- Advice on application essays for students and parents (when applicable)
- Light editing help with essays, and review of general portfolio
- Review of completed applications
- Direct advocacy with admissions officers
- Help making the choice between school acceptances
- Guidance with waitlists, revisits, contracts, financial aid, tuition arrangements, and eventual enrollment and matriculation

Gwen Stefani Takes Apollo for a Check-Up
Making sure her little guy is growing big and strong, Gwen Stefani went to a medical center in West Hollywood on Monday (April 14).
The No Doubt Frontwoman looked cute in a black and white houndstooth jacket with a black jumper and heels as her nanny pushed baby Apollo.
Though she's been busy with her third son, the working mom took time out to return to the stage, making an appearance during Pharrell's set at Coachella.
Grateful for the opportunity, Gwen tweeted, "Feels good to be out of the cave #Cochella2014 @Pharrell gx."

Parents of children with ADHD often use token economies. These types of behavioral modification programs can help in targeting specific behaviors, using positive reinforcements to increase wanted or appropriate behaviors. Token economy programs allow a child to "earn currency" immediately and then trade that currency for some type of reward later on.
The benefit of such a program is the ability to give a child immediate feedback on their behavior. Token economies can be implemented at home or at school, enhancing incentive programs that may already be in place.
Token economies can be relatively easy to implement and effective, but can be time-consuming and expensive. They should never, however, cause a child to be deprived of basic needs. Food, shelter, bedding and reasonable opportunities for leisure and exercise should be allowed to all children, these should not be taken away as punishment.
Selecting Target Behaviors
In order for a token economy to be most effective, parents must choose a few behaviors to target. Choosing one or two specific behaviors in the beginning can increase the chances of this type of behavioral modification program to succeed. Once your child has succeeded in changing a behavior, you can change
In addition, the wanted behaviors should be specific, concise and clear. For example, if your child is not handing in homework, your target behavior may be "turning in homework on time." Be clear on exactly what behavior will allow a child to earn a token. If he or she hands in homework a day late, will they still receive a token or does the homework need to be handed in on time? The more specific you are on your expectations, the better a token economy will work.
Choose the Type of Token
Tokens can be as easy as check marks on a chart, stickers, play money or poker chips. The idea of a token is to be able to provide immediate feedback and therefore need to be visible and attractive to the person receiving the token. For example, stickers or check marks on a chart may be motivation to a young child but may not hold any motivation for an older child or teenager.

Sam Webb: I heard a guy say you're either creative or idiotic…
Al Borges: "That was me who said it (laughter). It depends on what week you're playing, but that's kind of the nature of this job. No matter where I've been, no matter what the school, there's always a love/hate relationship with the offensive coordinator. You just try to stay on the love side more than the hate, but that's not always easy to do."
Sam Webb: You know, a lot of times I imagine for a coach, it's just about getting the job done. A lot of times for fans it's about getting the job done, and it looking good to them aesthetically. Last week, clearly, it was one of those aesthetically pleasing and effective games from a fan perspective. Talk to me about the aptitude of your guys to be able to take a package that you come up with, that you draw up, to be able to internalize it, and go out there and execute at the level that they did on Saturday.
Al Borges: "Like I said yesterday, it wasn't a complete departure from what we've done here over the last two years. We've carried portions of that package last year, so you weren't really starting from scratch. We just had used it that much simply because we did move Devin to wide receiver, and it wasn't as much of a place for it, but really it wasn't anything earth shattering like one might think."
Sam Webb: What has been earth shattering to a lot of people has been the emergence of Devin Gardner. Knowing that kid, not surprised by his physical ability, and that's one of the things that Brady talked about as well, so I'm not surprised about what he's able to do physically, how well he throws the ball. One of the things I picked up that he did talk about though is that he said his growth, as far as his maturity and his leadership, he said it's improved dramatically.
Al Borges: "Yeah, well he's taking on the role is what he's done. And that's the one thing that I think that – I've been asked a lot of questions about Devin, 'Did you know he could throw this well? Did you know he was this athletic?' And the answer to that is yes, anybody could see that. But the one thing you never know is what his poise level is, and how will he take to leading the football team. And you won't know that until he actually is forced to do it, but I think the big nicest surprise for me – and I use the word surprise simply because I didn't even know – is the poise level that he has shown during football games, is that he is not gotten rattled, he has kept himself emotionally balanced, even in some bad times, because all of these games haven't gone perfect, so I think that part – and that I was talking about things being game specific, certain things are game specific, and that's one of them."
Sam Webb: Was there a moment that – I know you look back at entire games, but was there a moment within a game, or a moment looking back at a game that kind of clicked to you where you said, 'Okay, I can see it now, beyond the throws, beyond the arm, I can see that this kid, he is demonstrating it'?
Al Borges: "I think at Minnesota, we started the game with three straight three and outs when he was the quarterback, and I think it was the fourth, and I'm not sure, you have to check this, but when he broke contain and reversed field and threw the ball to Drew Dileo, who had popped open in a total backyard football type play, I think the dam broke a little when that happened. He came back, and like I said, he never really lost his confidence, but we didn't start very well and that – you're on the road, you're following a kid that's been very productive for us like Denard, you didn't start very well, and all of a sudden now you get a play like that, and again it's a question probably better for him, but it helped. From that point on he started, I think, feeling his oats a little bit and he has progressively improved in every football game in some phase of his play."
Sam Webb: Now you get a lot of people that say, 'Hey, Al Borges looks more comfortable calling this game with this quarterback'. What does Al Borges say about that?
Al Borges: "I say I'm comfortable when the ball's moving. We have that with both quarterbacks. I think that's a gross overstatement, simply not true. When the ball is moving, you can call the next play, and get a lot of turns for a lot of the kids, a lot of kids get to touch the ball, and everybody's basically happy. When the ball is not moving, it gets to be more of a less comfortable situation, but I can honestly say I more comfortable. In certain games, when Devin didn't play quarterback, I was completely comfortable. I think that's probably a little bit of an overstatement."
Sam Webb: Now you're in a situation where your number one tailback goes down. How, if any, does that change your approach to running the football? Does any of that change?
Al Borges: "Well the approach doesn't change. Thomas Rawls, and Vincent Smith, and Justice Hayes are very efficient running backs, and we'll use them in the same capacity that we use Fitz. So, no, I don't see that as a major – shouldn't dictate any major shift in thinking."
Sam Webb: All right, so let's look briefly back at that package that everyone is talking about in the Iowa game. We saw some terrific downfield passing, we also saw some guys running wide open in the secondary. It was almost like Devin's eyes got wide and he had to make sure not to overthrow the football. Are they seeing things, are you showing things to defenses that they haven't seen this season for guys to be that wide open in the secondary?
Al Borges: "Well there are probably a few things, yeah, I would say a few things. A lot of it is kind of the luck of the draw when you dial a play up, which can go both ways, as you know. But sometimes you dial one into the perfect situation, and that happens, and you turn around and call a play five plays later and the quarterback gets blindsided for whatever reason, so it's kind of tit-for-tat, but there were more of those probably in this game, more good ones in this game, then there has been, but I think a lot of – you know, offense is about an inertia, and once you gain a little inertia, once you run a few back to back successful plays, the kids start feeling it a little bit. It's like when Michael Jordan is shooting three-pointers and you say the rim looks huge. Some games the rim looks huge, some games the rim looks small, but when you get in sync and you get confidence, there's nothing more dangerous than a confident athletic player. That's the most dangerous thing. You can have an athletic player, and if he's not confident, it just kind of negates his skills. Once you gain that confidence that you can do it and you are capable of doing it, that's a very dangerous thing to deal with if you're trying to defend."
Sam Webb: You're coming up on the last regular-season game of Denard Robinson's career. How unique, not just quarterback, an athlete, is he in your coaching career?
Al Borges: "He's the most unique athlete that I've ever coached, not to mention the most electric player that I've ever coached, and all that aside, one of the most enjoyable kids to coach because he brings energy every day to practice. He has a tremendous sense of humor. He has an infectious personality that our fan base has taken to, obviously, and our team takes to, and the coaches in turn take to, and sometimes coaching him, you can't be as – I don't know, I would say, I always tell players that it's not my job to tell you how great you are, it is my job to tell you when you're bad, and pat you on the back when you do good stuff. I'm going to let your girlfriend, I'm going to let your mom, and I'm going to let the fans tell you how great you are, and then when you're done and you're not playing anymore, then I'll tell you how great you are. And so we can't get too caught up in all that stuff, but by the same token, our entire offensive coaching staff has a tremendous appreciation for what Denard brings the table. These new dimensions have been kind of cool because it just demonstrates his unselfishness."
Sam Webb: I often get the sense from some of the people that we talk to that there's a lack of appreciation externally for how good he is, or everything he brings the table. You don't pay attention to the media and that kind of thing, but is there an aspect of Denard Robinson that you think you have a greater appreciation for as a guy that's coached him that many people outside the program can't realize?
Al Borges: "His competitive juice. That can be masked with a big smile and a pleasant demeanor, because everybody just assumes that competitive guys are guys that throw their golf clubs or scream and yell or tear up down markers, or whatever, where that is simply not true, because some competitive guys have your fire in their belly that might not be manifested by some volatile act. I think Denard epitomizes that. That's the one thing I think that might get missed a little bit that I appreciate."
Sam Webb: Alright so coach to have a guy, in a week like this, you're going to see that kind of competitive juice from taking on Ohio State, or Ohio as you call them, in the fiercest rivalry in all of sports. Talk to me about this year's team. They're undefeated, they are ineligible for a bowl game, so this is their bowl game so to speak. What have you seen from the Buckeyes when you look at them defensively?
Al Borges: "Well, as usual, extremely athletic. They run very well. I think their front is their strength. Their four down guys, particularly Simon, is as active a player as we played against. I mean, he's going to be tough to blocking pass rush. He's going to go through the whistle. He plays like your defensive coaches want a player to play. But they're solid and they don't make a lot of mistakes, and they've improved, I believe, from the beginning of the season to the end of the season, I really do. So we're probably going to face them at their best, I would guess, and with the most at stake. So we are assuming that this is going to be a real battle, but we're looking forward to it."
Sam Webb: One of the things that is been brought up in some of the pregame previews is you're going to have a guy at least taking some snaps that really hasn't done in that environment before in Devin Gardner. Is it really that big of a deal for a guy who has at least played in a raucous environment? Maybe not at quarterback, but he's played down in Dallas, he's played in South Bend, in raucous situations, and as far as starting on the road, we've at least seen him do that. Do those experiences add up to being enough to where you say, 'Hey it's really not that big of a deal that it's his first time'?
Al Borges: "I think he'll be ready to play. The only time you worry about something like that is if you think the guy is afraid, and I promise you he's not afraid. He's very confident right now, but sometimes guys get a little intimidated by that. I have not seen that in Devon Gardner or any of our team. And the fact that now he's been seasoned, playing a couple of games, one on the road, couple at home, and had some success, I think all that, I think he'll be fine, I don't worry about that. But then again, you never know. We don't know how the game is going to go, and how he's going to handle it, but to this point there's no evidence to prove that that would intimidate him."
Sam Webb: Alright coach last one for you. This is not a game plan question, this is just a possibility. We heard from Brady this week, he said Denard is near 100%. Denard said he's feeling pretty good heading into this game. Not asking you will Denard throw the football, I'm asking you can Denard throw the football?
Al Borges: "Oh he's gotten – his throwing has gotten much better, obviously. He's had time to heal now, so there's any number of possibilities. Let's just say this, it wouldn't be his first pass. So, no, he's coming on pretty good."

We now have a robust set of tools available to equip our members and partners to integrate this new narrative into their advocacy, communications, and resource development strategies.
Improving Employee Well-Being Through the Financial Stability First Model
We recently released a discussion brief on Financial Stability First (FS1), an NHSA initiative generously funded by MetLife Foundation. NHSA conducted a pilot project in three human service agencies to determine whether financial navigators in the workplace could be deployed to assist low-wage employees. The goal was to create a foundation of financial stability through outreach, education and access to a range of financial products and services. Outcomes showed the value of intentional organizational efforts to work with low-wage employees to increase their financial stability has positive effects and increased employee confidence, skills, and well-being.

I can get access to a volt ohm meter.
Unplug unit and remove the big back panel. Put the oven in bake mode and check voltage at the bottom element connections, you should have 220VAC. If you have voltage replace the element. If no voltage replace the clock/control board. The element comes out the front of stove by removing two screws and pulling element out. The clock/control can be replaced through the upper back panel. Both are easy to replace. The bake element part # XXXXX XXXXX and cost around $42.00. The clock/control part # XXXXX XXXXX and cost around $300.00.
Just to verify, shoulld I plug the unit back in after the panel is removed and I am testing the voltage? I can not place the oven in bake mode if unplugged as it is digital.
If determined it is the element - do i simply remove the 2 screws on each side and pull it out and then push th enew one in? Are there any internal connections or wiring to be concerned with?

The television no longer has the undivided attention of a growing proportion of British viewers, judging by the 62% of UK internet users who say they use their smartphone or tablet while watching TV.
Many of those second-screeners are using social networks like Facebook and Twitter, with both companies keen to capitalise on the trend, and encourage broadcasters and brands to do more to engage audiences on the services.
Twitter bought social TV analytics startup Bluefin Labs earlier this year with that aim in mind, but now Facebook has worked with rival startup Trendrr to analyse TV-related chatter on its service.
Among the findings published on Trendrr's blog are the claim that "the volume of Facebook user engagement relating to television programming was 5 times as large as all other social networks combined" – a clear shot across Twitter's bows.
The US-focused research claims that drama and comedy TV shows were particularly popular on Facebook, but live events saw "dramatically higher levels of activity over other social networks — something that may be surprising for some marketers who view Facebook as a platform mostly for extended conversation".
Trendrr says it is planning to work on further research with Facebook, including possibly integrating its data into the startup's Social TV Rankings charts, and helping broadcasters and brands to measure the conversation around their shows and advertisements, and compare it to engagement elsewhere.
News of the Facebook/Trendrr partnership came as Twitter launched its TV ad targeting service in the US, following a two-month beta test.
The service aims to help brands synchronise their paid-for "promoted" tweets with ads airing on TV, including targeting those tweets at people who've been tweeting about the show during which they aired, and who thus will be likely to have seen the ad.
"The results of the beta test reveal that the impact of using Twitter in combination with TV advertising is significantly greater than that of using TV advertising alone," claimed Bluefin Labs founder Michael Fleischman, now working at Twitter in a product role.
"In our tests over the last few months with brands like Adidas, Holiday Inn Express, Jaguar, and Samsung, advertisers using TV ad targeting saw significant improvements to key brand metrics, such as message association and purchase intent."
Twitter is also launching a new set of analytics in its TV Ads dashboard for brands, helping them to examine in greater depth what Twitter users are saying about their advertisements.
Both Facebook and Twitter have been heavily courting the TV and advertising industries in recent years, pitching the merits of their platforms.
For example, in April at the MIPTV conference, Twitter's UK head of broadcast partnerships Dan Biddle claimed that "40% of tweets in the UK during peak-time television hours are about television", and advised broadcasters to "think about programming Twitter as you programme your channel."

Nico Schuermans is a qualified chef and restaurateur, and has been in the hospitality industry since he was 14. Nico received his qualifications from the prestigious CREPAC School of culinary arts in Belgium. His apprenticeship was with 'La Villa Lorraine' (two star Michelin), and went on to work as Chef de Partie for 'Comme Chez Soi' (three star Michelin for 20 years), which is considered Belgium's finest restaurant. Nico cooked for Mick Jagger, Prince, Bill Clinton, and many other celebrities. Nico was Chef de Partie at the Savoy Hotel in London, where over 1000 people were served at each sitting. He completed his professional training here before moving on to become Head Chef at 'Alhambra' in Sydney, Australia.
Before leaving Australia Nico was invited to cook at the 'Epoch – Belgian Beer Café' for the Belgian national athletes, and visiting Royals. Upon coming to Canada Nico and his wife lived in Whistler, where Nico was employed by 'La Rua' Restaurant.
Nico lived in New York for 5 months, working as manager at 'Gitane' in Soho before returning to Canada.
With a strong background in marketing, corporate branding and merchandising, it comes as no surprise that Karri Schuermans is the driving force behind the strategic operations and marketing activities of Chambar, Café Medina and The Dirty Apron Cooking School & Delicatessen.
Karri's previous experience saw her working with the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games as the International Film Liaison Manager where she was charged with ensuring positive exposure for Sydney's attributes and defining Sydney as the business centre for Asia South Pacific. Previous to that, Karri was the Marketing Manager for the city of Sydney, where she trained in strategic planning and operations management. She was also the Director of the Peninsula Community Internet Network and the Editor for Northern Beaches magazine; both lending her valuable experience in advertising, publishing, and internet marketing.
With three young boys and four thriving businesses, Karri is pulled in many directions, but she always finds time to enjoy the amazing outdoor lifestyle afforded to those fortunate enough to live in this beautiful provence.
We are strong advocates for environmental & social responsibility and thus, have poised Chambar as a leader in sustainability.
Through innovative solutions designed to reduce our environmental impact—such as recycling programs with food waste going to community garden composts and the use of all natural cleaners. We were Vancouver's 2nd Carbon Neutral Restaurant
Our commitment to supporting local suppliers in sourcing regional, seasonal ingredients and Oceanwise-certified sustainable seafood. If you are at all curious to the reasons we only serve oceanwise seafoood - here are three! Inform yourself by watching these 3 documentaries. Ultimately it's our choice to make a difference - that means you.
1. Sharkwater - www.sharkwater.com
2. The Cove - www.thecovemovie.com
3. The End of the Line - www.endoftheline.com
If you are dining in Vancouver, don't order seafood unless you see this symbol next to the menu item.
Chambar Restaurant became carbon neutral in 2011. We have been tracking and reducing our carbon footprint, and have dramatically reduced our impact on the environment. The road to being carbon neutral for a restaurant is long, and we want to prove the perception that carbon credits are paying to pollute is not true in all cases.
Our Carbon Neutral Top 5 Points
1. Composting – Reduced garbage by 8882 kg per year, approx 12.3 tonnes of emissions.
2. Paper – We now use 100% post consumer waste (PCW). No chlorine is used in the de-inking of the recycled fibres. PCW has the greatest positive environmental impact as it replaces the need to cut new trees to supply the manufacturing process and reduces landfill waste. The paper mill that provides our paper is local, 400km south of Vancouver.
3. Paper Towel Reduction – Customers use hand dryers instead of paper towels. By using these hand dryers we are diverting over 153,000 paper towels from going to the landfill.
4 Cleaning Products – Environmental Benefits
a. All ingredients are readily biodegradable (OECD testing)
b. No carniogens or teratogens
c. No dibutyl phthlate
d. No alkyl, octyl, nonyl phenol ethoxylates
e. No 2-butoxyethanol
f. No ozone depleting compounds
g. Low or no volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
h. Low or no hazardous waste characteristics
i. No persistent, bio-accumulative and toxic chemicals
j. No phosphates
k. Fragrance Free
l. Highly concentrated to reduce energy use associated with transportation
m. Cold water effective
n. Recyclable containers
o. Colour coded for easy product identification and worker health safety.
5. 2010 – Chambar Purchased Gold Standard Offsets
2010 Offsets - Chambar purchased 80 tones of Gold Standard carbon offsets. Less Emissions was ranked #1 by the David Suzuki Foundation and Pembina Institute in 2009 in their guide Purchasing Carbon Offsets: A Guide for Canadian Consumers, Businesses, and Organizations. Less sources only Gold Standard carbon offsets from two India based biomass renewable energy projects, helping those communities to transition away from fossil-fuelled energy sources. The Gold Standard is an internationally recognized carbon offset standard for quality, endorsed by over 60 NGOs worldwide.
Sri Balaji Renewable Power Plant
The Sri Balaji Renewable Power plant is a 6 MW Biomass Power Plant located in Chennur Village, Andhra Pradesh, India. The project uses agricultural plant waste from the surrounding area including rice and cotton husks, to generate electricity. By replacing coal-fired electricity, the project saves roughly 30 000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions a year, along with hundreds of tons of other pollutants. The project also generates local employment opportunities and has contributed to local health and education initiatives. In addition local farmers are able to gain income through the commercial value of the crop waste.
Why are we not investing in Canadian Offsets from British Columbia
· The government is buying up a large majority of the local offsets through Pacific Carbon Trust.
· Canada does not have any Gold Standard offsets, which are recognized by the international community.

performed recovery with archived logs and the existing Redo logWhat command did you issue for the Recovery ? Was it from the RMAN command prompt or SQL command prompt ?
Hemant K Chitale
2. Re: Incomplete Recovery - ClarificationLukas Bica-Oracle Jan 16, 2013 7:18 AM (in response to Arun Natarajan-OC)Hello,
you used this command for recovery?
if you are restoring controlfile and recovering from it, you don't know last SCN. And if you are applying archive logs and redo logs, database can't verify that you have presented all redo/archive logs. In that case database need to do resetlogs.
recover database until cancel using backup controlfile;
Incomplete recovery in case of lost of redologs, archive logs or point in time recovery are clearly incomplete because you don't have all information from logs and you are going back to history in database.
3. Re: Incomplete Recovery - ClarificationAJ Jan 18, 2013 2:49 PM (in response to Arun Natarajan-OC)When you restore the controlfile from backup you always have to open the database with resetlogs (even when you're not restoring any data files).
(edit: additional info)
On the other hand: If you had a trace of your controlfile (alter database backup controlfile to trace) you could have re-created the controlfile with NORESETLOG option (since your online redo logs were intact) and opened the database without the resetlogs option after complete recovery.

4. Re: Incomplete Recovery - ClarificationArun Natarajan-OC Jan 23, 2013 2:25 AM (in response to AJ)Hi AJ / Friends,
Thanks for the info and it clarified the question.
But consider this scenario , I am having Redo Logs so in that case can i perform control file restore from RMAN backup (not control Trace File) and perform complete recovery (which i can do if i have redo logs and i create control file using Trace) .
If so , then please let me know the steps.
If not then my question is how come RMAN Control file backup is inferior to the manually created control file (using Trace file)?
5. Re: Incomplete Recovery - ClarificationHemant K Chitale Jan 23, 2013 3:29 AM (in response to Arun Natarajan-OC)Technically, if you RESTORE a Controlfile, it is a BACKUP CONTROLFILE. You need to issue a RESETLOGS after the RECOVERy.
See Performing Recovery with a Backup Control File at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmadvre.htm#i1008870

6. Re: Incomplete Recovery - ClarificationMihael Jan 23, 2013 10:05 AM (in response to Arun Natarajan-OC)If you restore control file from backup, Oracle do not know how many logs you have even if they are not lost - you could add more redo log groups to thread or even add new thread. So you must use "resetlogs".
If you create new controlfile, then you specify exactly what redo logs you have, and if they are present, "resetlogs" is not needed.
7. Re: Incomplete Recovery - ClarificationArun Natarajan-OC Jan 29, 2013 12:19 AM (in response to Mihael)Hi Mihael / Friends,
Thanks , assuming i haven't made any changes to Redo Log groups , in that case can use RMAN to restore control file and perform complete recovery (noresetlog)? Any option is available?
(or) irrespective of whether changes made (or) not to redologs if control file is restored from RMAN then it is mandataory to perform resetlog?
If option 2 is correct then i believe,
Though we use RMAN backup as best method in many ways compared to OS backup , for control file restoration alone it's not good to use RMAN restore as this will end up in new incarnation of database and will invalidate all my old backup's , so it's best to use the control file trace to recreate control file and perform complete recovery. Is this true?
what will happen to my RMAN old backup's if i recreate control file and perform noresetlog / restore control file from RMAN and perform resetlogs? will it be registered (or) not registered in control file in both cases.
8. Re: Incomplete Recovery - ClarificationHemant K Chitale Jan 29, 2013 2:05 AM (in response to Arun Natarajan-OC)Since 10g, Oracle allows Recovery through a RESETLOGS, even if the incarnation changes. One key feature of this is that ArchiveLogs have %r (which is the resetlogs ID) as part of the file name.
If you do a CREATE CONTROLFILE all information about backups that were present in the controlfile are "lost". If you are running without a Recovery Catalog, you lose information about backups. If you are running with a Recovery Catalog, you have the information in the Recovery Catalog but you cannot "synch" the data from the Recovery Catalog to the (newly created) controlfile.
Hemant K Chitale
9. Re: Incomplete Recovery - ClarificationMihael Jan 29, 2013 6:47 AM (in response to Arun Natarajan-OC)If you create new controlfile, you can register all backups and archivelogs with rman "catalog" command. The command allows to register single backup or log and also to specify start directory for backups or even full FRA.

Provisioning and the Healthy Sailor
After reading a few quieries here and considering we've been living aboard for over 20 years, this month I decided to write a blog on provisioning. Along with sharing our experience and offering some tips, I've also included our complete dry goods provisioning list.
Perhaps there will be some useful ideas for those who are looking for provisioning suggestions.
Nice read, Robyn. Of course, everyone's list is highly personal but I found it fun to compare your choice of staples with ours - and like you, spices are a necessity. Sometimes I think we have almost as much volume of spices, sauces, and condiments as we have of protein staples!
That is so organised. *long, deep sigh* I tend to leave it too late then rush round the store grabbing anything that looks interesting and hope for the best.
I'm sure your way is better.
yes, eryka, everyone's provisioning lists change acording to personal tastes. Years ago when we left to go cruising the first time, I needed to compile some sort of list of what we need to sock up on. I found checking out other people's lists to be a really good source of ideas...kind of a starting point. I do think that some basics are important for everybody though.
Broomfondle, I know exactly what you mean. Provisioning can be a chore. Living aboard does mean that we have food onboard at all times. And after our first year of cruising, I just kept up the habit of keeping a good back up of basics on board at all times.
One of the biggest benefits I've found to switching out my food to "eating clean" is that it works really well with living aboard and sailing. Basic ingredients, minimal processed foods, fresh and local as often as you can, all work great on a boat. We generate a lot less trash too. Here's some of the stuff that's been working great for us:
- lentils in bulk for... you guessed it... lentil soup.
- steel coat oats. with a little cinnamon for breakfast.
- (raw, uncooked / unsalted )almonds and prunes as snack food.
- fresh veggies and fruit. a lot of things like grapefruit last for weeks and as long as you're flexible and buy whatever's in bulk and local it's pretty cheap.
- fish. duh :-)
- whey protein in tubs because i can't shake my old weight lifting habits!
Anyone have any experience with dehydrated foods, as in survival mode?
We are outfitting our vessel to get gone when the illegals and parasites attack, when these Liberals finally drive our dollar down to nothing.
Any survival sailors out there? Let's share some info.
there is always this: Practical Cruising - Grow Food on Your Boat | YachtPals.com
grow it on your boat.
If you're going to use dehydrated foods, you best have a watermaker aboard.. They use a fair amount of water.
When the illegals attack....
Check out Best Home Food Free Guide Info Easy Help 1 Year Supply to buy massive amounts of dehydrated food. They sell a "liberty unit"(food for 1 man for 1 year) for about $1600. I have a friend who bought one, and it tastes pretty good, though he usually mixes in some fresh ingredients with the dehydrated stuff. If you buy one, they give you big discounts on water filters etc...

Cool water
A 30-inch-wide glazed and sealed stoneware bowl (similar from $100) fitted with a small bubbler pump (from $20; thehomedepot.com) creates the ambience of a fountain without the fuss or expense.
Because the bubbler does little more than stir the water, there's no need for a reservoir beneath the bowl.

Tony Blair today made an impassioned plea while speaking to Australian politicians for an international alliance to protect "global values" of fairness, justice and freedom.
The UK Prime Minister pledged to keep British troops in Iraq and Afghanistan until those countries were stabilised.
"If the going is tough, we tough it out," Blair told a rare joint sitting of Australia's Parliament in Canberra.
Blair told Australian politicians that the "immediate threat was from Islamist extremism," which he said was "not a passing spasm of anger, but a global ideology at war with us and our way of life."
"If we want to secure our way of life, there is no alternative but to fight for it," he said. "That means standing up for our values not just in our own countries but the world over."
Britain and Australia were the only two nations to send troops to fight alongside US forces in the invasion of Iraq three years ago and both countries still have forces in the country and in Afghanistan fighting Taliban and al Qaida insurgents.
In a key foreign policy speech, Blair said the struggle was not just against "those who hate us," but also against opponents who believe Britain and its allies fight for their values selectively.
"This struggle is about justice and fairness as well as security and prosperity," he said. "And in truth today there is no prosperity without security and no security without justice. That is the consequence of an interconnected world."
He pointed to recent elections in both Iraq and Afghanistan as symbols of the values he was advocating and said those countries were "engaged in a titanic struggle to be free of a legacy of oppression, stagnation and servitude."
Blair also strongly defended the United States' role in the struggle, saying the alliance he was describing "does not end with, but does begin with America."
He said that having Washington as an ally could sometimes be difficult, but said the US administration was key to victory.
"The danger with America today is not that they are too much involved, the danger is that they decide to pull up the drawbridge and disengage. We need them involved, we want them engaged," he said. "The reality is that none of the problems that press in on us can be resolved or even contemplated without them."
In a wide-ranging speech, Blair also cited global poverty and the threat of climate change as other pressing issues facing the world.
Blair noted that while Britain supported the Kyoto protocol on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, Australia had not.
Protection of European agriculture markets was "a policy born of another age and it's time to end it," he said.
But change in Europe alone would not go far enough.
"America must open up, Japan too and ... we look to leadership from Brazil, India," Blair said.
"And we must agree (on) a development package for the poorest that includes 100 percent market access and aid for trade," he added.
In an interview earlier, Blair declined to say how long British troops might remain in Iraq.
"What's happening now in Iraq is that the Iraqi security forces and the army are building up their capability and as that happens, we can draw down," Blair said.
"Will we be able to make substantial troop reductions? ... In my view, that is possible provided of course that the Iraqi capability has been built up and sustained," he said.
Blair arrived in Australia late on Saturday on the first stop of a three-nation tour that is expected to focus on global terrorism and the war in Iraq. His first stop was the Commonwealth Games in the southern city of Melbourne to experience venues and atmosphere ahead of London's hosting of the 2012 Olympic Games.
After his appointments at Parliament, Blair laid a wreath at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.Reuse content

Some wedding days call for rain-and when that happens, Nathan and I LOVE it.
Seriously, aside from it (*sometimes) making our clients a little uneasy leading up to it there are SO many opportunities to make things fun and quirky that wouldn't apply otherwise (bridesmaid rain boots? adorable).
Sam and Dana weren't going to let some showers bring them anything but an opportunity to get a little cozier. With the Palm Event Center as the backdrop how could they possibly go wrong?
Enjoy some of our favorites from Dana and Sam's gorgeous March wedding!

I think this is limestone - how to repair?
2 Attachment(s)
The two attached photos are of a front stoop. The building is a 120 year old Chicago 2 flat. I believe the stone is Indiana Limestone (everything else around here is at least).
I'm not sure how to approach fixing this. A few Questions-
- Will a concrete mix 'bind' to the limestone sufficiently? Is there any particular mix I should use?
- It looks like to much to quick patch. I think I need a form. Agree?
- Am I better off ripping the entire step out and replacing it? Or to ask it another way, is it worth the time / effort / hassle to remove the step?
First time post, thanks in advance for any help.
Could you post a picture from a bit further back--showing what is setting on top of the slab?
Replacement is the answer---any patch work will fail in a few winters time---
4 Attachment(s)
As requested, oh-mike, attached are 4 more pics.
Now that I look more closely I see what is 'on top' is the building. I'm guessing the stoop sits on the the exterior brick wall, similar to the window sill in 'step 6'. Hard to know for sure.
This is a rental building, so I have a different cost / value proposition than if it were my home. I'd take major visual improvement over 50 year lifespan replacement.
Thanks again for any help!
Ayuh,... For the Long term,... I'd think bustin' it out, then form, 'n pour concrete is yer answer...
That should have been replaced when the stoop and stairs were replaced.

|The senior service tech arrived well within his scheduled appointment window, and was a very nice, seemingly sincere fellow. He seemed unsure of the purpose of his presence, which I completely understood. Of course upon seeing the failed hinge he came to the conclusion that the entire door would have to be replaced, and dutifully reported his findings to OneSource.
Three days later OneSource finally called and informed me that they "will not be able to offer a replacement". I have not yet called back to speak to a manager, but that is number one on my "to do" list. Beyond that, I will be forced to involve my attorney.
It is highly unfortunate that manufacturers fail to recognize their obligations. I wonder, when you add up the expense of the two service calls to my house, the expense of litigation that may well be to come, and the cost of losing a customer for life (I no longer shop at Sears for any reason), how much money Sears has saved by denying responsibility for their product in this case. The $600 door certainly does not cost them $600, and there is a good chance they may yet have to replace mine.

E39 Front Blowout - Multiple issues with car
Let me know what you guys think. I have a RF bearing out. I was thinking maybe it was serviceable without replacing the entire assembly but I surmise that is not the case.
The issue started with what I thought was brake noise. I had a blowout on my RF wheel last night (heading to the parts store to buy pads). Today I started removing the brakes & rotor which both required servicing, then found the bearing was noisy as well.
It is amazing how many layers of repair you find that need to be done with every little project. From this tear down I can see the need for the following:
1) Need to rebuild the front suspension - shocks and other components (thrust arm, control arm, tierod ends, bushings, etc). Shocks are leaking fluid.
2) Replace brake pads
3) Turn rotors
4) replace front bearing hub assemblies
5) Go back and hopefully get tire replaced for free.
6) Rob bank to pay for repairs (not necessarily in that order).
Do any of you think any of these issues could have resulted in a blow out of a tire that is relatively new (about 6 months and scarcesly 6 k miles on them). The intire inner side wall has come separated from the rest of the tire. I am really struggling to keep up on the maintenance of this car and am getting very frustrated with it.
Thank you in advance for your replies.
I just love this logo...

Did I miss where you say which platform you are reviewing this on? I swear I can't see it...
Hi gdawg304. This one was reviewed on the 360. I usually ask for PS3 code if offered the choice, but it's not always available. I'll edit the page to clarify platforms and which we tested on.
This is a great single player game it's a pity that the studio is no more.
The game play is reminiscent of an adult Zelda and with some great voice acting and level design.

"They have some very good coaches and trainers. They are very dedicated to the team. All of the people that I spoke with were very nice."
Randle was impressed with the game environment and how the team never gave up Saturday night. More than that, the tunnel walk let him know about the dedication of the Nebraska fans to the program.
"It was a good game. They fought the whole way. The tunnel walk was awesome. As I was walking out the tunnel at the end people knew who I was.
"People asked for my autograph, they wanted to shake my hand, take my picture and stuff. That really showed me that they want me to come there."
The visit received a very high mark from Randle and there is some talk about he and his family making it up again later this season.
"The visit was a "12". I went by myself, but I am going to try and get back up there again with my family later on in the season."
Hurricane Ike did cancel school and the season for a couple of weeks, but it also affected the lives and property of people in the area where Randle lives.
Fortunately for Randle and his family they came through the storm alright with no damage to the house. He did see a lot of property damage in his area though.
"Our house was OK. There was a lot of debris in the neighborhood. A lot of the houses in the neighborhood had trees that fell into their house."

The ANZ board has taken chief executive John McFarlane's motto of "being different" literally by cutting his pay for the 2002-03 year.
Despite like-for-like pay rises for his peers at Commonwealth Bank and Westpac, Mr McFarlane's salary, including base salary, bonus, deferred shares and super, fell from $2.9 million to $2.48 million, or a drop of 14 per cent.
However, this sum does not include $2.54 million in "long-term incentive amortisation", a sum representing the accounting value of options and deferred share schemes that have not yet been vested to Mr McFarlane.
The chief executive was also granted options during the year worth $2.09 million, based on an option valuation model, albeit they would currently be out of the money.
Mr McFarlane's contract with ANZ expires in October 2006, although he has been keen to hose down suggestions he would leave after that date.
CBA has disclosed David Murray's 2002-03 salary at $2.52 million, while Westpac's David Morgan, who is likely to be the best-paid bank chief executive this year, had a cash salary of $3.92 million and equity-based pay worth $3.45 million.
Mr McFarlane is not expected to get a fresh grant of equity-based incentives at the annual meeting next month, as he undertakes the task of managing the $5 billion acquisition of National Bank of New Zealand announced late last month.
ANZ reported "cash earnings" of $2.3 billion in 2002-03.
Despite a mini-rally this week, ANZ shares have been depressed, coinciding with an interest-rate rise, general weakness in the banking sector and the trading period for rights associated with its $3.6 billion capital raising.
Yesterday, the shares closed 10c lower at $16.50 while the rights also fell 10c to $3.50. The rights allow existing investors to buy two new shares for every 11 they hold at $13 a share, or they can sell the rights on the market.
Goldman Sachs JBWere said of ANZ shares yesterday: "Valuation attractions are apparent. However, a moderating core earnings growth profile, initial financial dilution and integration issues/risks associated with the NBNZ acquisition remove several of the key apparent drivers of ANZ share price performance over the last two years (being above peer earnings growth, high levels of earnings visibility and ongoing capital management)."

Man Pleads Guilty To Fatally Stabbing Bears Fan
Published May 21st, 2013
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A Jacksonville man has pleaded guilty to fatally stabbing a Chicago fan at a popular waterfront shopping area before a Bears/Jaguars football game last fall.
Matthew Reid Hinson pleaded guilty Tuesday to second-degree murder. He faces a possible life sentence.
Authorities say the 28-year-old Hinson slashed 42-year-old William Pettry's neck with a pocket knife at Fionn MacCool's, an Irish-themed bar and restaurant at the Jacksonville Landing. Police say Pettry and a friend were talking to Hinson's wife before the stabbing happened, which may have angered Hinson.
Pettry, a married father of three, was in town for the October 7th game the next day.

About eComm
eComm represents a visionary community committed to innovation and directing the future of technology-mediated-communications at this critical juncture.
It is the benchmark for the industry and I do not see it being replaced anytime soon.
- Jack Rynes (Jaduka, America 2009)
It was established in 2008 by Lee S Dryburgh because of his strong dissatisfaction with existing telecom events. He believed they were avoiding the real industry issues and also missing the real opportunities for both transformation and growth.
Terrific experience... I've never been to a conference with a larger collection of innovative, disruptive and forward- looking ideas. Bravo!
- Michael Calabrese (New America Foundation, Europe 2009)
At the debut 2008 event he stated, "Industry talking to the industry type events had yielded nothing but consensual hallucinations. Yet the gap between what telecom operators are doing (or allowing) and what the innovation community could do, and where end users are taking us is ever widening. Communications innovation is being democratized. The winners will be those who embrace it".
By far the most efficient in conveying new, big ideas and information. Most conferences are afraid to disrupt the conventional wisdom - and sponsors. Not eComm. It's also the best size - large enough to network, but small enough to have an intimate, retreat- like feel.
- Michael Calabrese (New America Foundation, Europe 2009)
Highlights to date include:
- Debut 2008 lanyard sponsor, Ribbit acquired a few months after for 105 million by British Telecom.
- Debut 2008 first conference to cover and as well as strongly push both the iPhone and Android (with kind support from Google, pre-Android launch).
- America 2009 lanyard sponsor, JaJah acquired a few months after for 207 million by Telefonica.
- America 2009 critiqued American telecom regulation and policy.
- America 2009 first to show off winners of the Android Developers Competition.
- Europe 2009 critiqued financial underpinnings of the telecom industry.
- Europe 2009 first to show off Google Wave (with kind support from Google).
- America 2010 first to hold a commercial mobile augmented reality sub-conference.
- America 2010 chairs included British Telecom's Chief Scientist and Google's Real Time Communications Group Product Manager.
Years ago, in 1982, I attended the Stanford Design Conference (it only lasted about 3-4 years) down in Palo Alto. This symposium was trying to blend design w/technology and provide a stage to show how both were inter-related. Back then I had only heard of Steve Jobs in passing and didn't realize that he was the Apple 'guy'. Needless to say, Jobs gave an incredible presentation that still resonates w/me today since his talk was about how important design was and was going to be in technology (this was 18 months prior to the introduction of the Mac). Your conference was the first since the SDC that was equally as informative and inspiring. Keep it up, the business and the industry needs forums like eComm.

text: PLEASANTON, Calif. and ANN ARBOR, Mich., March 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Thoratec Corporation (Nasdaq: THOR), a world leader in device-based mechanical circulatory support (MCS) therapies to save, support and restore failing hearts, and the University of Michigan Cardiovascular Center, a leader in cardiac care, today announced a major milestone in the treatment of heart failure. Joe Ann Bivins, 68, of Detroit, Michigan, has been supported for the longest reported period of time on a single heart assist device. The device, the HeartMate II Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD), supplements her heart's pumping function and allows her to live her life virtually free from the symptoms of heart failure. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130319/SF79560) Joe Ann was implanted in July 2005 at the University of Michigan, early in the HeartMate II pivotal clinical trial. Now at nearly eight years of support, Joe Ann exemplifies the life-improving benefits of LVAD therapy for heart failure. According to the American Heart Association, there are approximately 5.8 million individuals living with chronic heart failure in the United States, many of whom may face a similar decision to the one made by Joe Ann almost eight years ago. Joe Ann's heart had become too weak to adequately pump blood, leaving her tired and weak. Francis D. Pagani, M.D., Ph.D., Surgical Director of the Adult Heart Transplant Program and Director of the Center for Circulatory Support, told Joe Ann that her condition could improve with the help of an LVAD, the HeartMate II. Joe Ann elected to have the surgery, and she now describes her life as being as close to normal as she could imagine. Today, she sings with her church choir, attends bible study, heads the church usher board, and stays active and social with her sisters and son by her side. She also speaks with patients who are considering LVAD treatment for their heart failure condition, encouraging them to regain the life they once knew as well. The fact that Joe Ann is now the longest surviving patient with a heart assist device came as a surprise to her. Said Bivins: "I didn't even realize my journey was so significant. I was too busy living my life to the fullest. It's certainly something special to be given a second chance, and it's even more of a blessing to know that my story can give others with heart failure the same hope I have every day, which is to continue to be saved by my wonderful doctors and nurses, and my HeartMate II." Joe Ann's experience has been validated by clinical studies, in which HeartMate II has demonstrated significant improvements in quality of life as well as reductions in symptoms of heart failure. Joe Ann hopes her story will encourage people suffering from heart failure to know they have a choice and a path to a better life. " Joe Ann is truly a star patient, and her ability to continue to thrive is a testament to how well LVAD therapy works for patients in heart failure to alleviate their heart failure symptoms and give them back an improved quality of life," said Pagani. "We encourage people who are battling heart failure to speak with their doctors about treatment with an LVAD. Joe Ann is living proof that this therapy can turn lives around." HeartMate II is a heart pump called an LVAD, which helps the left side of the heart to circulate blood to the rest of the body. It is implanted alongside the heart and supplements the heart's pumping function. The HeartMate II system also includes accessories that are worn outside the body, including a controller and batteries that last more than ten hours, allowing patients to be active.

Great product!
By Susie-Q
from St.Catharines, ON
I purchased the pomegranate/apricot duo... love both colours! The pomegranate tint is a true pomegranate juice colour, while the apricot has a lovely golden (very wearable) shimmer. The tints are light textured and sheer... and they really last! You can add depth to the colours with more layers and it never feels sticky or dry. The gloss is light and tingling and gives a slight plump to the lips. It does have fragrance, but I find it subtle.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Amazing buy! Your lips will thank you!
By Beauty Sleuth
from Oakville
I love that the tints are long lasting and you can get as much colour as you want by adding layers. I apply the plumper once the tint is dry and va-voom! Plump gorgeous lips with no sting. It's great that you can use both together or one or the other by itself. I always carry one or two in my purse.
Another must have item...
By Margaret
from Toronto
What I love about this product is that you can wear the tint by itself for a little color and it leaves your lips feeling really moisturized and smooth. When you wear the tint and gloss together it gives you lots of shine that lasts!
Great colours
By Mc|B
from Vancouver
Love the colours and fact that you can build depending on how much colour you want that day. The only disappointment is with staying power which isn't bad but not as good as another brand I use.Not sure yet if I would repurchase.
Too Shiny, Sticky, and Smelly !!!
By Summerlover
from Thornhill, Ontario
I read the reviews and decided to try this lip product. My experience was not at all like the other ladies. The stain has a strong pomegrante smell, which I did not like. The stain was too shiny and really sticky. The top clear coat smelt like peppermint, and was aliitle tingly. This top coat was also really shiny, and remained tacky. The product did nothing to plump my lips.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

text: The Endurance Racing wiki last edited by ZombiePie on 02/16/13 04:44PM View full history An endurance race a long race around either a track or a long stretch of road. To qualify as an endurance race, the total length of time spent racing has to be at least six hours and the longer endurance races can reach up to 24 hours in length with the most famous of these being the 24 hours of Le Mans. The endurance race itself is meant to test the endurance of the driver and the durability of his equipment. Most endurance races will give the drivers at least on break to rest. Examples of endurance racing in video games would be the 24 Hour Le Mans in GRID or the Baja 1000 featured in THQ's Baja game. a mini-enduro being held at Road Atlanta in Forza Motorsport 2Facts The first endurance race ever was held at a closed track called Brooklands in 1907. This race became known as the Double Twelve because the event was made up of two 12 hour race events over the course of two days. The Triple Crown of endurance racing is made up of the three most challeging endurance races in the world, Twelve Hours of Sebring, 24 Hours of Daytona, and 24 Hours of Le Mans used to make up this Triple Crown. Driver Ken Miles is the only person to ever come close to winning all of the events in the Triple Crown in one racing season, but due to an error at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, he placed second. The last car to ever win all thre events of the Triple Crown was the Porsche 962 in 1986, but in 2003 the 24 Hours of Daytona had its regulations changed and it is now impossible to win all three events with the same car. Since the 24 Hours of Daytona changed its regulations, the Petite Le Mans, a 10 hour race held at Road Atlanta has replaced it in the Triple Crown so that all three races can run on the same regulations. Motorcycle racing also has several endurance races associated with it like the 8 Hours of Suzuka and the 24 Hours of Liege.

Just a warning: There's basically no mechanical strength between the PCB and the connector. I took the GS407 module off the board and the connector basically lifted up pulling the copper traces off the PCB…

 If you order this breakout board, you might want to use some krazy glue to keep the connector from pulling off of the board (unless you're going to mount it permanently).

These have been fixed and they are on their way. It will be a little bit before they show up, but they will be correct this time.

 The 'old' board still works fine, it's just harder to actually hook up without the datasheet handy.

Thanks for the note on the messed up silkscreen. Now would someone at sparkfun fix the silkscreen layer, verify it correct, and increment the part number such that the next batch of these boards that gets produced has everything correct?

Oops, I connected my GS407 IAW the labeling on the breakout board and applied power. Now I get a straight 3V signal from the Tx pin. Did I fry my GPS unit?

I agree, silkscreen is wrong.
 This should be fixed or at least noted on the main page

BTW, the silkscreen pin numberings are incorrect on this board. They are "upside down". 1 should be 9, 2 should be 10 and vice-versa.
 Hopefully that will save someone else some time banging their head against the wall.

It's a "Wet Willy" Shakespeare forecast for Utah. Occasionally tempestuous, even, in a thunderstormy kind of way, "whereof what's past is prologue."
Did anyone ever call the Bard of Avon "Willy?" Perhaps not, but Utah's weather is entirely As You Like It ... or not:
The National Weather Service has issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook for the coming week, warning that the western two-thirds of Utah will endure wave after wave of thunder, lightning and scattered rain showers.
In an encore of weather from last week, the Wasatch Front looks for morning, afternoon and evening pulses of precipitation and breezes of 10-25 mph on Tuesday, mirroring Monday's forecast. High temperatures will be the upper-70s to low-80s.
