Unanswered: identifying unused datafiles....
Hi guys.....Using Oracle 9i.
Is it possible to identify unused datafiles in a tablespace....e.g.,
If a tablespace contains 20 datafiles which have grown over 4 years, can it be told, when each of those 20 datafiles was last accessed or how frequently?

It would be something you'd have to have enabled manually.
The DBMS just isn't going to capture years of data without human intervention. While it can be helpful for optimizing storage to keep volatility statistics for a few months, long term historical data would only be useful for specific purposes. So if you were going to record it, you'd have to have a specific reason why to guide precisely what you stored.
The OS also doesn't store that kind of information.
The only way this might be stored accidentally is if you have some old rman (or other backup utility) logs you could mine for information.

40-096 Length on Tube?
A quick learner from massachusetts says:
June 12, 2015
How long is the tube holding the striker? I only have 1.75 inches for the tube. Most are now 2.75 inches or so. Too big for this 60 year old screen door.
Dave Sr. from SWISCO responded:
June 16, 2015
The mortise tube is 2-1/2" long. With the spring latch installed, it measures 2-3/4" from the nose of the latch to the end of the tube. The back set is 1-3/4", which would be from the edge of the door to the middle of the knob spindle. Let me know if these measurements help.

Barbara Hepworth Hardback
by Helena Bonnet, Lee Beard, Ms. Sophie Bowness
Edited by Dr. Penelope Curtis, Chris Stephens
Accompanying the first major retrospective of Barbara Hepworth's work in London since 1968, this ground-breaking new publication focuses on the spaces and contexts, physical and conceptual, in which the artist is positioned.
It examines her interest in staging and presenting work indoors and out, in studio, film, garden, stage, architecture, photography and print.
As well as setting her work in relation to her British and international contemporaries, a broad range of distinguished contributors also consider wider technical and intellectual concerns.
Richly illustrated with over 200 colour images drawn from her entire career, the catalogue represents some of Hepworth's best-known works as well as introducing less familiar pieces.
It also features previously unseen documentary material, including photographs and film stills that cast new light on one of the twentieth century's greatest artists.

He is called the Michael Laudrup of Danish Basketball and thats for a good reason, Adama will make an impact in your life. Doesn't matter if it's a shooting competition in practice or a loose-ball-situation in a game, he will win. And then you try to beat him, and he'll win again. And again. Thats just how great of a competitor he is.
Known for his exceptional shooting skills around the arc, Adama has filled more nets than the fishermen and continues to add new skills to his game.
Have you ever met Adama you already know you want to be his buddy for life. To make this a reality, all you need to do is like to drink coffee, know a few Rasmus Seebach songs and eat kebab…

text: OK Mower Medic diagnosed my lame solenoid issue and she was running and mowing like a champ but just as I was wrapping up she quit moving??? No forward or reverse at all! Matter of fact the motor is reving rather high as if something totally disengaged but there was no noise of anything breaking or and indication anything happened except no more GO. I am guessing belt but have no clue how a hydro works. It is a 15 horse Briggs motor on a Ranch King mower with a 42" cut and hydro tranny - Not sure what year it is as I bought it used. It was getting dark when it stopped so I did not have much chance to take a good look at what might have happened but there is no busted belt laying on the ground or anything thatobvious to point a finger at. Where should I start loooking? Thanks for any help. Bob Urban

Southwark Book Award 2017
Winner Announced!!!
Jessica's Ghost by Andrew Norriss wins The Southwark Book Award 2017!!!
On Thursday March 9th, selected children from several different schools around Southwark packed into Canada Water Library to find out the results of the Southwark Book Award 2017. The Award had been relaunched this year, with six shortlisted books published during the school year 2015/2016, and voting was open to children in Years 7 & 8. Three of the shortlisted authors – Taran Matharu (The Novice), M.G.Leonard (Beetle Boy) and Alex Wheatle (Crongton Knights) were present at the ceremony, which caused an extra frisson of excitement amongst the children present. The three other shortlisted books were The Boy at the Top of the Mountain by John Boyne, Jessica's Ghost by Andrew Norriss and The Wolf Wilder by Katherine Rundell.
Sadly, the winning author was unable to be with us on Thursday, but he sent a video in which he professed himself "absolutely delighted" and thanked all the students for their votes:
Before leaving to return to their respective schools, the students swarmed the authors present with requests for books, posters and bookmarks to be signed – a sure sign that a love of reading is alive and well in Southwark!

Retired doc finds fun in watercolor painting
Dylan Marvel, email@example.com
After taking some starter courses, his journey into the art world began.
"I keep learning new things as I go along," Backus said. "I'm just having fun with my retirement." Backus paints primarily in watercolor, a technique in which the paint is mixed with water, providing a smooth, transparent quality to the art.
Backus plunged full-force into his hobby. Until recently, Backus averaged about 150 to 200 paintings every year, keeping his favorites and trashing the rest.
"But with my eyesight starting to go, I've cut back a bit," Backus admitted. "I paint 40 to 50 pieces a year now."
His artwork is scattered around the area, from houses to business lobbies. Some of his pieces have also been donated to local organizations and hospital foundations.
Backus used to be part of the Lake Superior Watercolor Society, and is still a member of the Arrowhead Art Club.
"Painting has introduced me to many amazing individuals," Backus said with a chuckle. "I've found that artists tend to be pretty nice people.
"It's been a great retirement. My wife, Jan, has been really supportive, and it keeps me busy," Backus concluded. "It's really about having fun. And you don't need to be retired to do it; anyone can pick up a brush and start painting."
Backus is the featured artist for July at the Just for the Season Gallery. The Duluth gallery is hosting showings of his watercolors through July 31. The showcase exhibits 15 of Backus' original paintings.
In addition, the gallery hosted a reception Wednesday, when people met Backus and also viewed his work.
If you go
Dr. Lloyd Backus' paintings are being shown at the Season Gallery in the Holiday Center, 207 W. Superior St., Duluth.
For more information, call the gallery at (218) 722-1140 or email justfortheseasons@ gmail.com.

Most people say that Kelly Khumalo has forgotten where she comes from and lives a modern life. But, according to sangoma Dumezweni, the star is on a final warning from the ancestors.
Sangoma Dumezweni Mahabuke from kwaThema in Ekurhuleni said Kelly Khumalo never did things the right way in the first place.
"She never gave herself time to mourn Senzo Meyiwa the right way, and she still has not had a proper cleansing ceremony," said Dumezweni.
"And she has already moved on to the next man."
The sangoma said his bones were showing him the new man in her life but a dark cloud is still with her.
"The new man in Kelly's life is a brave man," he said.
"Senzo is crying for justice and this time the wheels of justice are turning quickly."
He said the truth is about to come out and it will change Kelly's life for the worse.
"She knows the truth but she is not telling the truth because she is trying to protect a female who is close to her," he said.
Daily Sun ran a story where the same sangoma said Kelly must thwasa.
"Since then I have had no peace," said Dumezweni.
"Her ancestors are coming to me in my dreams telling me to warn her of difficult times ahead."
Dumezweni said Kelly must enjoy her life because she is about to learn the hard way that life is not a honeymoon.
"Whatever Kelly dreams, I dream and my bones are showing me Kelly doesn't remember her dreams," said Dumezweni.
"I am tired of always dreaming about Kelly."
He said that Kelly has ignored her chosen path for too long.
"She knows her ancestors want her to take the bones but she has turned her back on them and they are about to turn their back on her," said Dumezweni.
"One day she will remember my words but it will be too late," he said.
Attempts to contact Kelly have been unsuccessful.

SILVER STAG Damascus steel is manufactured by forge welding multiple layers of high carbon steels into a solid block called a billet, (Silver Stag contains 1095 & 15N20 high carbon tool steels). The billet is folded and re-welded several times to produce layers, (Silver Stag Damascus = 150 to 300 layers). Patterns are created by manipulating the steel during the forge welding process, (Silver Stag offers a random and twist pattern). The blades are profiled out of the layered steel billet block, then hand ground, polished, and sharpened. The combination of layered hard and soft steels creates blade flexibility, toughness, and produces invisible serrations on the edge that aid cutting.� We feel SILVER STAG Damascus blades are the best flesh cutting blades on the market. The Series is manufactured with deer, elk, and moose antler. An up-graded, handmade laced leather sheath included.

Kia's Pro_Cee'd GT hot-hatch looks set to lose its roof.
A rendering posted to the Kia World fan site imagines a convertible version of the South Korean brand's Pro_Cee'd GT hot-hatch model - the hard-top version of which is confirmed to arrive in Australia in early 2014.
Kia Australia spokesman Kevin Hepworth said a convertible is something that chief designer Peter Schreyer has been interested in for some time.
However, Hepworth suggested the image is a crowd-generated mock-up, stating that Kia head office has told him the image "is not a drawing from any Kia design studio", and that "as far as they are aware there are no product plans for such a car".
Even so, Kia has been toying with the idea of a convertible small car for years. The company unveiled a concept known as a Excee'd in 2007, and Schreyer has repeatedly expressed his passion for small convertible cars, in particular the Mazda MX-5.
The Pro_Cee'd GT is powered by the same 1.6-litre turbocharged engine seen in the Hyundai Veloster SR Turbo, which produces 150kW and 265Nm.

Electronic and Optical Properties of Semiconductor Quantum Dots
This thesis is devoted to theoretically study the systems of single quantum dots (QDs) embedded in various photonic nanostructures, in close relation with experimental data. The word single is essential: due to their nanometer size, QDs have mainly been studied as ensembles. It is only recently that the experimental progress, in particular in the domain of QDs growth, has allowed to address single QDs. This helped to observe that the confined states in a QD resemble those of an atom, leading in turn to the macro-atom picture for QDs. It opened the path to the study of cavity quantum electrodynamics (CQED) in the solid state, as the analogous of a system of an atom in an electromagnetic cavity. However, already at the level of the QD (i.e. without a solid state cavity), the macro-atom picture has been proven to be oversimplified. Various effects related to the solid state environment of the QD have been experimentally and theoretically evidenced, like the influence of acoustic and optical phonons. These are channels of decoherence for the otherwise well isolated and confined QD levels. When adding the cavity, these effects are possibly enhanced, which can lead to very large deviations from the CQED ideal picture. Therefore the clear understanding of these effects is of essential importance, especially in view of the application of solid state systems to quantum information science. In Chapter 2, we address the radiation-matter coupling between two QDs in a nanocavity. This field of research combines the high quality of light resonators to the nonlinearities of the semiconductor material. It is promising in view of manipulating and transferring single long-lived excitations, an essential goal for quantum information science. Then, we study the deviations of a QD from the idealized macroatom picture. First, in Chapter 3, we include the influence of acoustic phonons on the light emitted by a QD-cavity system. We show that the QD modified susceptibility leads to the qualitative explanation of the cavity feeding effects, which is one of the most striking deviations of the QD-cavity system from the ideal CQED picture. In addition to phonons are extended two-dimensional states populated by the non resonant pumping laser in the QD's wetting layer (WL). In Chapters 4 and 5 we build a Monte-Carlo model of the excitation-decay mechanism in a QD-cavity system. We use it to describe the influence of WL states on the dynamics of the QD, leading in turn to a non-CQED behavior. This approach is particularly successful in the case of large QD-cavity detuning, where it predicts both time-dependent and spectral characteristics of the emitted light. Finally, in Chapter 6, we discuss our conclusions, emphasizing in particular that the knowledge of the actual solid state environment of the QD leads to a better control over the parameters allowing to reach the CQED regime. We also discuss the possible extensions of this work, in particular in relation to the analysis of the stimulated emission regime.

New OC: Kendra by BombasticPlasticWatch
©2014-2017 BombasticPlastic
Really bad picture quality.
Taking a picture with an iPod + saving it from Facebook = recipe for disaster.
This is Kendra! Not only will I be drawing and doing a bit of writing with this character, but I will be modding a doll to be her. It will be my first doll mod where I will be sculpting a new face and placing it over the original. I'm not sure how I'll do it quite yet, but I have plenty of time to work it out.
I'm working on more character development - personality traits and the like. I don't like having characters that are just another pretty face to look at. Plus I like to have stories to go along with my dolls.
Kendra + art belongs to me.

Written by Paul Dini
Art by Guillem March
Gotham City Sirens is an odd book. There's a lot of promise with the concept of a book focusing on three of Batman's rogues gallery, all of which have been pre-existing relationships already established between them. Add Paul Dini, who's had plenty of experience with all three characters, even co-creating one of them, and it seems like a sure fire hit.
Sadly, the first issue of this new series was fairly disappointing and, quite frankly, forgettable. There's little on offer that stood out as vaguely interesting and even less that shows any promise for potential in the future.
If I had to compare this issue to another book, it would be just about anything from Chris Claremont's modern work. However, it's not due to the quality of writing, but moreso due to the fact this issue made it feel more like the book was a gift to Dini so that he can play with is pet characters off on his own, similar to Claremont's X-Men Forever.
The reason I feel this way is due to the characterizations, which felt almost paper thin, as if they were mere characitures of themselves. Take Harley Quinn, for an example, she sounded more like a DCU animated version than the one that had been in Countdown for the past year or so. Despite referencing current events, everyone felt that way to me - like they were stereotypical personalities for the characters moreso than the present day incarnations. Another example of this being a Dini pet book was the mandatory Zatanna cameo. While she was involved in Catwoman's recent heart problems with Hush, it still felt like she was forced into the book just to have her appear.
The final problem I had with this issue was that it felt like mere cheesecake, which probably isn't that surprising with the "diva" action promised in the solicits and a book starring three female villains. From Harley being dressed in some porn star schoolgirl outfit to Zatanna taking a dip in a jacuzzi, a lot of it just felt like it was designed around showing off the girls in the book. Add some new Z-list villain that nobody cared about and who took up the bulk of the issue and nothing really clicked for me here.
Verdict - Avoid It. Nothing to see here. Move along now.

Lockport man imprisoned for beating, faces upcoming stabbing charge
LOCKPORT – A Lockport man who beat another man into unconsciousness in 2012 was sentenced Thursday to two to four years in state prison, but he faces more serious legal trouble over a Jan. 22 Lockport stabbing.
Chad A. Michalak, 33, of Elmwood Avenue, was sentenced by Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas for attempted second-degree assault in connection with the Dec. 14, 2012, beating in the victim's Price Street home. "I felt I was pushed to a point. I know it was wrong," Michalak said.
Farkas said Michalak has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, impulse control disorder and antisocial personality disorder, and also told officers he is an alcoholic.
Deputy District Attorney Doreen M. Hoffmann said a grand jury will be asked next week to indict Michalak for first-degree assault for the stabbing of a man in a Locust Street parking lot. Thursday, Michalak turned down a second-degree assault plea offer in that case, which would have added no more than seven years in prison to his term for the beating. First-degree assault has a maximum sentence of 25 years.

Higgins Lake was "Pure Michigan" at its finest.
In typical Midwest fashion, if you didn't like the weather just wait five minutes!
We had sunshine, rain, lots of wind, and no wind, forecasted weather for shorts and t-shirts, but turned to warm packs and dry suits - great suggestion from Tara Cunningham!
In terms of the weather, we really saw just about everything, except snow...Thank God!
Saturday started off a little cool and windy, for a second, I thought that I could see Ed Cunningham's breath as he was giving us the details in the skippers meeting.
This being my third year sailing, second year racing, and second CRAM Regatta, I was too stoked to be sailing with these guys to really care how cold it was. I knew there was wind, a big lake and I was determined to go get a piece of them.
When I hit the water before the first race, and saw the LR5, F-18's, and Tornado fly by - I quickly realized where my place was for the weekend....towards the back!
Then seeing Ron Kramer on the Hobie 18SX turtled before the start reinforced the fact that there was A LOT of wind; and I was REALLY going to have to be on my "A-game" to keep the boat upright.
Luckily, I have a smaller boat (and a few more pounds) than Ron does.
Saturday's races started with sunshine, and wind in the 10-12 knot range, plus a chop that reminded you that you were in one of Michigan's biggest lakes. Most of that held up throughout the day except for the sunshine. The rain and wind mix all day made for a great method of skin exfoliation, my face hadn't felt that soft in a while. But even worse, the rain made my GoPro camera fog up! Although it made for a pretty cool picture! Hull Yeah!!
As the rain came and went, the wind continued to pick up, I'm no expert but I'd say we had constant winds in the 15-17 knot range with big long puffs that were easily in the 20's with the wind starting to let up during the second or third race. As I watched the other boats in my fleet in head to shore and the Nacra 18 square meter upside down (equipment issue) I remember thinking "well, everyone else is in, maybe I should follow", but there was a louder voice that said "this is a blast, it's what you came for, let's do it!"
I'm glad I did!
Sunday forecasted weather was supposed to be much lighter winds. Keywords "supposed to". One of those 6-8 knot days where skill really comes in. Instead, we had good chilly winds...building as we ate breakfast! During my trip to the shower house, I witnessed multiple guys warming up their wetsuits with the hand dryers, always a good sign. :(
Sunday's races started with great wind, somewhere in the 12 knot range. After consulting Dave Stiemsma, we were convinced that the wind would die down pretty quickly once the sun started to warm things up. Well that didn't come NEARLY as quick as I thought. The first couple legs of the first race had great wind that seemed to be building with big puffs, almost too much for me. I was glad that I had heavy dinner the night before to help keep the boat down!! Lots of great Chili to sample at the Chili Cook-off Saturday night!!
On my last downwind leg to the finish (after the quick guys finished already), the sun must have done its job because the wind shut right off. It seemed like it was going to be Monday before I finished!
After that race I got into shore just in time to see the finish of a great race between Martin Malcheski on a Tornado and Dave Stiemsma on the Hobie Wild Cat (Red Sail)...
.....a great example of match racing!!
Overall it was a great weekend! Thank you CRAM for a yet another great event! I'm looking forward to seeing you all next season!

there's something about the style of DAO that i love
it's just so… it's very drab. all rogue armor looks exactly the same. like, helmet upgrade? yep it's the same thing but in a slightly different tint. mages get those ridiculous hats and the dingy robes. grey wardens don't have that flashy blue and silver armor yet they just wear whatever the hell drops off of darkspawn. ferelden is brown and muddy. as it should be. denerim is the crown jewel of the country but it's just dogs barking and dirt and flies.
when your warden suddenly decides that they're no longer an archer or mage and grabs a random ass sword to shove through the archdemon's skull, they've marched their way up and down this maker-forsaken land and they've got mud and dog shit all over their boots and no part of this journey was even remotely glamorous, because it was about spending days in the deep roads, covered in blood and bile and ichor, so of course you're gonna make your final blow look at least vaguely fancy, because you deserve that much
and i just. i love it.

Posted by ESPN.com's Heather Dinich
Congrats on finding the blog's newest feature -- the reader mailbag at the top right of the page. In addition to the comments at the bottom of blog posts, this is a great way for you to ask questions, tell me that I make better cookies than I do predictions, or that I'm the smartest person you know. Either way is fine with me, really. Just be warned: Anything in there is fair game for fodder in here, and if you want me to actually email you back, a real email helps.
P.S. I'm not going to edit you. I don't have time and if you can't spell, you're not gonna learn hear. Just kidding. Here.
Let's rock:
A prediction from Michael, in Hickory, N.C. --
Heather, Thanks for helping keep the sanity during an otherwise dreary sports summer. There are only 44 more days until my beloved Deacs begin the quest...not that anyone is counting. By the way, here's an early prediction for you...Georgia Tech WILL win an ACC title within 5 years. I had the unfortunate opportunities to play against Paul Johnson coached GSU teams. A lot of people scoff at the flexbone as archaic, but GSU ran it at the highest level of I-AA with I-AA's best athletes and NOBODY could stop them...not even UGA. Imagine what he will do with the talent he can get at GT. I expect to see more passing out of the upcoming versions. This offense combined with a decent defense can lead to some lopsided scores. It's hard not to run up a score when the opposition can't stop your running game. One more thing...I'll apologize now if you are a friend of Pat Forde's, but please take his job. You'd be doing us all a favor. I can't read his stuff anymore. I like yours, though, and I'm glad you're covering the ACC...although you are cutting into my work productivity. Keep up the good work. Go Deacs! Michael
Michael, I agree. Paul Johnson's offense has worked in the past against BCS teams and will work now. There's no reason the Yellow Jackets won't eventually be in the hunt. And yes, they will throw the ball on occasion. And poor Pat ...
This came from Chris, in Richmond, Va. --
Heather- The Va.Tech Hokie Fans are giving you a bunch of grief about your comments Re: the Running game!! *LOL* I am also a Hokie Fan But don't get all bent out of shape like these people!! *LOL* Check it out www.techsideline.com then click on forums and Football Board.. Unless we do a better job of blocking our running game won't be worth a damn.. And the fact that Glennon has been there for about 6 years and still does the same crap, that makes it even worse.. Keep Up the Great Work AND Go Hoosiers!! haha :D Chris.
Chris -- Ah, the message boards. The digital dysfunctional families of our universe. Thanks for adopting me, Hokies. Yes, I realize Lewis and Cheeseman will be back, but combined they have one start -- and that's only because Branden Ore was suspended for the first quarter of the Orange Bowl. Together they had 78 carries last year. Are they talented? No doubt. But how long will it take to get this running game going?
Speaking of Hokies, Andrew Churchill from somewhere wrote this:
Heather, In your rankings of ACC running backs, you fail to include Jahre Cheeseman or Kenny Lewis as options at tailback for Virginia Tech. Cheeseman WILL BE BACK PRACTICING FULL SPEED COME AUGUST, and Lewis will be cleared to return by the END OF SEPTEMBER. While these two will be recovering from offseason injuries, they both will be available for most (Lewis) or all (Cheeseman) of the season and should be considered 'options'in the backfield. thanks
Andrew -- Please DON'T SHOUT AT ME! Yes, I know they'll be back, the question is when they'll be 100 percent. It's not like I didn't mention these guys. They'll be considered options once they start practicing again and show they can be. You're welcome.
This one is from somebody in Charlotte, I think his name is Dan:
i think changing your stadium rankings was clever and fun to read through again.
Why thank you, whoever you are.
Another nice guy, this one named Sean in Tallahassee:
Heather, Great job so far on the blog. I look forward to it everyday. You have no idea how ready I am for football season to get hear.
I hear ya.
It's never too early for a little Heisman talk, and Grayson in Clemson, S.C, wants to know if Cullen Harper will get any consideration:
Heather, I just wanted to see if you had anything to say about Cullen Harper for Heisman this year. Last year Matt Ryan was a big candidate and Harper had him beat in almost every statistic. Given this and if he plays as well as last year, what do you think?
Grayson -- Harper is obviously the best in the league, but there are too many other talented QBs in the country. The Big 12 alone is loaded (Chase Daniel, Sam Bradford, Graham Harrell and Colt McCoy). Don't forget about Tim Tebow, Beanie Wells, Michael Crabtree ... tons of options this year.
Here's a fun rant from Courtney, a Boston College fan in Pasadena, CA:
As a faithful Boston College eagle alum, I have to admit I take a little bit of offense at your ranking of BC's stadium. I don't think your point is totally incorrect, because I have been to a couple of BC bowl games and the turnout is pretty embarassing. However, I think parts of your message shortchange BC and its fans a bit. For example, the statement that we couldn't even pack the stadium for FSU on primetime is a little misleading. I happen to have flown from LA to Boston specifically to attend that game, and attend I did, along with a ton of other BC hardcore. However, what you failed to mention/consider is #1) it was POURING rain the night of that game, so take Boston in November + pouring rain = horrendous game watching conditions and #2) up until just a few years ago, BC was in the Big East, which meant we tailgated til halftime, then watched the second half of the game inside Alumni stadium...old habits die hard. And back to the bowl game situation, you have to admit, we get some crappy bowls (if there was one called the toilet bowl, I guarantee BC would get a bid). And seriously, it's a hell of a lot easier to hop in your pickup and drive 2 hours from Virginia/Georgia/North Carolina to one of the million bowls in the southeast so they really shouldn't get THAT much credit. I'd love to see how many Georgia Tech or Virgina fans made it to a bowl in New Hampshire (disregarding the fact that they'd be playing on a foot of snow). OK, hopefully you've made it all the way through my rant, so thanks for listening...and Go Eagles! :-)
Anyone who leaves Pasadena to go to Boston is a true fan, Courtney. Thanks for the note.

After hearing about Packer fans staging a rally for Brett Farve, it dawned on me that a Chad Rally is needed. Who's with me?
How about this weekend at Hofstra. Anyone attending gets a free Chad 08 bumper sticker and your choice of lunch.
Lunch Menu:
1- Chicken Noodle Soup
2- Roasted Duck
Is gcherd and I considered a rally?
I think you'd have to pull gherd away from his CP blowup doll on weekends.
Make sure you wear your Georgia Force jersey.
Whats a better mantra?
"Hell No, Chad wont go"
"All we are saying, is give Chad a chance"
How about "Give Chad's new mechanics a chance" or "Best Jets QB Rating ever!!!" in the "Let's go rangers" tune.
"With Noodle in, we'll never win."
"If Noodle throws, Mangini goes."
"Let Clemens chuck, 'cause Chadwick sucks"
When Chad let's the ball fly, All Jets fans can do is cry.
When Chad is in, the defense grins.
Last edited by Sourceworx; 07-14-2008 at 12:46 PM.
When Chad has the ball, it makes my balls shrivel up very small.
You bring the beer, I'll bring the prosthetic right arms.
When we need points Chad stinks up the joint.
When Chad throws outs, fans curse and shout.
All the Jets have is a Penny, no wonder we cant afford our own stadium.
"If Chad's in to play, it's 6 the other way!"
The guy with no arm does the Jets great harm.

Everything goes digital. And then there´s social media. Where the heck is the Social Media guy best placed in the marketing department and is a social media strategy the same thing as a marketing strategy nowadays? Of course every employer want a Leonardo Da Vinci and often, for some reason, someone "good at social media and/or computers" is quickly dubbed that one. Well, even though we´re a bunch of generalists out there, a little look at what normally needs to be done from the marketing function can help sort things out. Here´s my 5 cents on the subject.
First of all, the Internet infiltrates every aspect of marketing. Even though most people and organisations haven´t yet been fully online-ified, it´s definately where they´re heading. From an organisational perspective, there is a (quite obvious when you actually do it!)difference between publishing and distributing your pamfletts and brochures online and engaging with your community. The first requires mostly design, language and computer skills. The latter requires mostly social skills.
If you look at the chart above you´lll notice that both offline and online marketing can be divided in information and social respectively. When sending a representative to a fair or to mingle at a customer meetup you of course send someone you know is good on relating. Which doesn´t necessarily need to be the guy good at converting photos for web formats etc. So, just like there´s a social guy for the offline things to be done, there needs to be a social guy for the online things to be done:
Better than organizing the marketing staff under a offline and and online director is to organise them under information/advertisement vs social/PR. Then production skills plus campaign and deadline-thinking are the organizational culture of one group while conversation skills plus 24/7 and listening-thinking are the organizational culture of the other group.
Now, it seems to be a lot of cultural wars going on to no use and a lot of frustration when people from the "old" information age feel annoyed by the "new" social age people that all of a sudden have gotten the microphone. If you by chance happen to come across someone that is equally good at creating smashing website and brochure design and at the same time entertains a large community of followers – you probably can´t afford or convince her or him to get into a regular employment position. But, that´s just a guess… ;-)

Because I hate factchecking for nothing
...I give you a response I made in the thread on Cory Bookers deeply offensive comment which shocked - shocked - me.*
It just seems like a weird comment when I live in a city (Oslo) which has a 25 % immigrant population, when immigration is the #1 wedge issue in Norwegian politics and when you look at the charts for number of immigrants as a percentage of population:
Norway: 7.5 %.
South Korea: 1.1 %
Which means Norway has a per capita immigrant population the ballpark of such homogenous cultures as the UK (9%) and Russia (8.5%). We are an ethnically diverse nation, and one in every 13 people you meet here will not have been born here.
The big question is, though: do we celebrate our racial deliciousness? To that, I'd have to say that some of us do, some of us (e.g. 1/3rd of the country who vote Progress Party) don't.
* I'm kidding, obviously - but I still felt it needed a response.


text: Sorry people I know this is a stupid question but I want to root my phone but there seems to be different methods of doing this depending on whether you have a Sprint, gsm, or cdma. (am I missing anything?) I don't know what these are but Sprint is a service provider so am assuming the others are too? I live in Canada and use MTS as my sp. Whose instructions do I follow? Is it still possible to root my phone if I'm not in one of those clubs? Thanks a lot people!

Our Child Abuse Treatment and Training Services (CATTS) unit is a specialised division of Jo'burg Child Welfare that provides preventative and treatment services to children, families and adult survivors of sexual abuse.
The effects of child sexual abuse are often long-term and may include post-traumatic stress, cognitive disorders and emotional distress ranging from depression to anxiety and anger. Victims may also experience an impaired sense of self and develop antisocial behaviour in an attempt to cope with the chronic trauma. Sexual assault can also lead to interpersonal conflicts and suicide attempts.
The very core of our work in the CATTS unit lies in helping these victims of sexual abuse. Our highly skilled social workers and social auxiliary workers communicate with victims, families and loved ones to support them during the healing process through casework, group therapy and community engagement.
Our services also include risk assessment, psycho-emotional assessments, therapeutic interventions, family and victim support, and school and home visits.
We also assist adult survivors of sexual abuse by offering them therapy and containment.

Broccoli Cheddar Chicken and Rice Casserole
Who doesn't love a good ol' casserole! Particularly one with broccoli cheddar anything. The gooey, cheesy goodness combined with broccoli, chicken, and rice with a golden brown crispy topping is enough to make you eat it right out of the casserole dish. And shoot… that's exactly what I did. I literally didn't take out a plate. (Hey, no one was around to judge me.) Why I'm admitting this to you now though, I don't know. I have no shame. But I definitely have a love for cheesy casseroles.
I had no idea what I was going to make this weekend… but when I went to the store, I grabbed just two must-haves. (You guessed it.) Broccoli, and cheese. I knew I could muster something good with those things. Pshhh… I think I could live off of those things. You can't beat the ol' broccoli cheddar combo, you just can't. They happen to serve as my favorite soup, baked potato topping, and casserole filler-upper. (…Filler upper?)
Now that fall is here, and winter is on the way, a good collection of savory casseroles is a must. I actually put some of the uncooked mixture in a Tupperware container and froze it to bake another day. It can serve as a great side-dish as well, a yummy pairing with some baked salmon maybe? 😉 Sounds like a meal to me!
- 2 large, (or 4 small) boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into cubes (uncooked)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt/Pepper
- 2 cups broccoli florets (uncooked)
- 1 (10 ¾ oz.) can cheddar cheese soup
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, separated
- 2 servings cooked white rice (equals ½ cup uncooked rice or 1.5 cups cooked)
- 1½ cups crushed Ritz crackers
- 1 Tablespoon melted butter
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
- Sprinkle the uncooked cubed chicken with paprika, salt, and pepper. Place on a baking sheet and cook for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, toss away any excess liquid.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken, broccoli, soup, sour cream, milk, cooked rice, and ½ of the cheddar cheese. Mix until well combined.
- Pour into a casserole dish. Top with remaining cup of cheese.
- Mix the crushed Ritz crackers with the melted butter and sprinkle over the casserole. (You can also use French's Crispy Fried Onions)
- Bake for 40 minutes. Check the top of the casserole occasionally and if it starts to get browner than you would prefer, cover it for the remainder of the cooking time.

Daily briefs of the top news stories impacting Christians around the world. In today's edition:
Christians Are Here For 'Such A Time As This'
Christians' Lawsuit Alleges Philadelphia Officials Conspired Against Them
Earthquake Survivors' Needs Differ From Tsunami, But Sharing Jesus Is Key To Both Relief Efforts
Paws & Tales Offers Kids 'A Closer Look' at Biblical Truth
Christians Are Here For 'Such A Time As This'
Michael Ireland, Assist News Service
In the wake of several natural disasters around the world, Christians across America are being called upon to pray continuously, to be vigilant about daily Bible study, to be prepared for disaster themselves, and to boldly share the hope of Jesus. Christian Emergency Network (CEN) CEO and Founder Mary Marr is calling upon Christians everywhere to recognize that the number of natural disasters occurring around the world are causing people to ask questions about God. Hence, she said, "This generation of Christians is here, now, 'for such a time as this.' The Apostle Paul taught young Timothy, 'Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season…' (2 Timothy 4:2a). Well, if ever there was a season when this generation of the Body of Christ can share the Hope found only in Jesus Christ, this is it." Marr also said there are many ministries through which Christians can share their faith at this time. She noted that www.needhim.org needs volunteers to share their faith with callers. And, in addition to the Salvation Army and Operation Blessing, other organizations can be contacted directly for those wanting to volunteer. Among those serving the victims are United Methodist Relief, Christian World Reform, Church World Service, Nazarene Disaster Services, Mennonite Disaster Services, Brethren Church U.S.A. and Southern Baptist Men. Christian Emergency Network leads Christians to intelligently pray for, sensitively care for, and strategically share the gospel with victims involved in a national emergency.
Christians' Lawsuit Alleges Philadelphia Officials Conspired Against Them
Allie Martin, Agape Press
A lawsuit has been filed against the city of Philadelphia on behalf of 11 Christians who were arrested when they tried to preach on a public street during a homosexual pride event. Last October, 11 members of the group Repent America took to the streets during "Outfest," a homosexual event held on the streets of Philadelphia. Shortly after they arrived at the event, police arrested all of them, charging them with three felonies and five misdemeanors. Eventually all charges were dropped after a judge reviewed videotape of the event and said members of Repent America did nothing wrong. Before the charges against the Repent America members were dropped, they each faced up to 47 years in prison and $90,000 in fines. Ted Hoppe is an attorney for the Christians who were arrested, who are also known as the "Philadelphia 11." Hoppe says police officials and organizers of the pro-homosexual gala were engaged in a conspiracy. The attorney is hopeful that the lawsuit, if successful, will make it clear that those who do not agree with Repent America's message do not have the right to interfere with the group's constitutionally protected rights to free speech and free exercise of religion.
Earthquake Survivors' Needs Differ From Tsunami, But Sharing Jesus Is Key To Both Relief Efforts
Goldie Frances, Baptist Press
The Oct. 8 earthquake that shook northern Pakistan and India has the region scrambling once again to meet enormous needs as recovery continues from the Dec. 26 tsunami that ravaged the countries of Sri Lanka, India and the Maldives. Southern Baptist disaster relief response to the earthquake will be similar to its response to the tsunami: meeting medical needs, providing food, building temporary shelter and helping individuals generate income. However, the differences between the two disasters are vast. "In the tsunami, most of the casualties were instant, within hours," Southern Baptist disaster relief specialist Philip Monroe* said. "I think with the earthquake, you're going to see a significant amount of secondary injuries. Secondary injuries will be much greater from lack of shelter and exposure to the elements. The tsunami occurred in a tropical zone, so you didn't have to worry about the change of the season." While the tsunami and the earthquake have not been the only disasters in South Asia in the past year, the two catastrophes affected large numbers of people who do not know Jesus as their Savior. The greatest similarity centers on the spiritual, Monroe said. "Each disaster occurred at the center of lostness," he said. "This earthquake has opened the eyes of the victims and has softened their hearts. People are experiencing a great degree of grief right now. We can see God's hand at work here, just like we did in the tsunami."
Paws & Tales Offers Kids 'A Closer Look' at Biblical Truth
Jenni Parker, Agape Press
The second video in the new Paws & Tales animated series for children, a production of Chuck Swindoll's Insight for Living radio ministry and Providential Pictures, is now available. Paws & Tales The Animated Series is an adaptation of Insight for Living's popular and highly successful Paws & Tales radio show, which airs on more than 450 outlets throughout the United States. "A Closer Look," like the preceding episode "Seeing the Unseen," uses an engaging cast of characters, brought to life with high-quality 3-D animation, to tell a story that will entertain children and teach them biblical principles at the same time. The first installment of the Paws & Tales animated video series, "Seeing the Unseen," won the Best Children's Film award at this year's International Christian Visual Media Association (ICVM) Crown Awards. And now, several Christian and family entertainment reviewers are already greeting the second Paws & Tales video with comparable praise. Both "A Closer Look" and "Seeing the Unseen" are available in DVD and VHS video formats and have a half-hour run time. Young fans of the radio and video series will also enjoy the Paws & Tales website (www.pawsandtales3d.com), which features games and other fun and educational resources. And parents and educators visiting the Internet site can access Q&A sections discussing each episode's biblical lessons. (www.pawsandtales3d.com)

NHL Cancels Preseason Games Through September 30
Bad news for hockey fans as the NHL Lockout took another turn for the worst on Tuesday when the league canceled preseason games through September 30. The NHL and NHLPA have struggled to come to an agreement during labor talks after the Collective Bargaining Agreement expired last Saturday at midnight.
The regular season is scheduled to begin on October 11, but if the last few weeks are any indication of what to expect–it doesn't look like the season will be starting then.
Vince Young Spent Thousands On Restaurants and Flights
So how did a player like Young blow through $26 million over a six-year span? Well, after Young made headlines for being nearly broke, stories are beginning to come out about what he's spent his money on over the last six years.
Apparently, Young was known for spending thousands of dollars at popular restaurants in the Nashville area such as T.G.I. Friday's and the Cheesecake Factory–with the checks being at least $4,000 each time. On top of the dining, there was one individual who claimed Young once bought out an entire Southwest flight so he and his friends could have the plane to themselves.
Los Angeles Dodgers Hold Off Washington Nationals
Every win over the next week or so is extremely important for the Dodgers as they trail the St. Louis Cardinals by two games for the Wild Card spot in the National League. On Wednesday, Los Angeles appeared to be on their way to smooth win with a 6-0 lead until Washington scored six runs in the eighth to tie it up.
Luckily, Matt Kemp came through for the Dodgers in the ninth with the go-ahead home run–which ended up being the difference maker for the win.

So something I always used to do with my old blog is something called Top 5 Thursday. All I did was choose a topic, and then rank my top 5 for that topic. i.e TV shows, short lived shows, etc. every Thursday. I enjoyed doing it, and I seemed to get a good response. Since this site has more traffic, and I have more views on my first three posts than my entire blog ever did during it's 3 week run (I stopped because I got asked to contribute on here, and I wanted to spend my time writing for people who love this stuff as much as I do).
Now that you have the background, let's get started!
You can all see that I have decided to start with my Top 5 favorite main characters. I've never been one to fall in love with the main character, just because it always seems cliche to me. I've always been a supporting character kind of guy. But there are always those shows where you can't help but fall in love with the main focus of the show.
There might be SPOILERS ahead, but I will try my best not to put them in. Ye be warned.
Hank Moody (David Duchovny) from Californication
Now, I haven't seen all of Californication (I know, I know, shame on me), but what I have seen of it, I have absolutely loved. And it's because of Hank. David turns someone who is a huge D-bag/Ahole/other vulgar things into someone you can help but love. For those who have seen the show, they know what I'm talking about. He may be a huge womanizer, but he loves his family to death. Especially his daughter. If there's ever a reason to watch this show, it's Hank. Californication is finishing up it's seventh and final season on Showtime right now. I can't say a lot about it, but I promise that I will keep watching it soon.
Henry Pollard (Adam Scott) from Party Down
I picked this show up at Best Buy at $10 a season. Being only two seasons long, and seeing Mr. Adam Scott, and Mr. Ken Marino, it felt like I was destined to find it. This short lived series aired on Starz a couple years back, and even though it was cancelled, it seems to have a pretty big cult following. I know since the release and success of the Veronica Mars movie, they have been in talks of bringing this back with a movie. It's a show about the story of struggling actors/writers who are working as caterers until they can make it big. Henry, our main focus, almost had his break with a popular beer commercial. The catering team is also made up of Ken Marino (Children's Hospital, Burning Love), Martin Starr (Freaks and Geeks, NTSF:SD:SUV::) (Masters of Sex, Cloverfield), Jane Lynch (Glee, Hollywood Game Night), Who is then replaced by Megan Mullally (Will & Grace, Children's Hospital), and Ryan Hansen (Veronica Mars, Friends with Benefits). It's a short series that's well worth the watch. It's got a lot of great cameos, and it's very quotable.
Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) from 24
I mean come on. How can this guy not make it on this list. Is there anyone more badass? He is the definition of doing what ever it takes. I remember an episode where he was beating the crap of the president because he was withholding information. Right? Right!? Awesome. I love this show, even when it gets a little repetitive during a couple moments, it still kept me at the edge of my seat. It ran for eight seasons on FOX, and is currently airing a mini-series event called 24: Live Another Day. The mini series is just as good as the original seasons, and it's making it's way up to my favorite seasons. It's always intense, and it always keeps you guessing. You know those people who make Chuck Norris jokes? That's because they haven't seen Jack Bauer in action. This is another show that I own the complete series of, and it's one of my favorite collections. I also own some of the books. That's right. There are even books.
Ted Evelyn Mosby (Josh Radnor) from How I Met Your Mother
Now, some of you may know my love for this show is everlasting, and it grows every second of every day. It's such a great show that needs to be watched by everyone. I stand by everything that it presented to it's audience (especially the finale), and I will defend the entire series until the day I die. Even though the entire cast is awesome, I want Ted to stand out. He may seem like the typical hopeless romantic who only works because of his supporting cast, but that's not the case when you actually watch the show. Everyone on there has their own type of humor that clashes perfectly together. Radnor isn't as popular as the other cast (Jason Segel, Neil Patrick Harris, Alyson Hannigan, and Colbie Smulders), but he stands out so well and has some of the greatest moments of the show. He is someone that you want to win. And those scenes with the mother (I won't say too much about it just in case you haven't watched it yet) are always so beautiful that they could bring Jack Bauer to tears.
Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) from Dexter
I know those of you who have seen the finale will probably give me some attitude about it, but just imagine if the show ended like 2 minutes earlier. I try to.
Although Dexter Had a pretty disappointing ending, I still love Dex to death. He gave Jeff Lindsay's serial killer a look and a haunting audible voice. i know the ending of the series really turned people away from wanting to watch it, but I still think they should try it. It was no Breaking Bad finale, but it was still the ending of a series that so many people loved. Dexter was the first main character I fell in love with because he is so different, yet so ordinary at the same time. I'll never regret watching and loving this show, and I know I will probably do it again. I know it's been hinted that they might bring him back one last time, and I would be OK with that. It ran for a solid 8 seasons on Showtime, and even though people claim it started going downhill after the fifth season, I think it stayed pretty strong up until those last couple minutes.
I did read that they originally did plan on killing Dexter, but Showtime wouldn't let them do it. So if you're gonna be mad at anyone, be mad at Showtime. But it's always tough to end a show. Especially one as good as Dexter. Not a lot of shows get it right, but people will always be for it or against it. Nothing anyone can do but think about the entire show as a whole.
So this was my list! If it gets a good response, I'll try to do more. I'm on here daily supporting the MP page (Congrats on the big sell bee tee dubs. $20 mill is quite the cash flow). Have a good one guys! I'm gonna go play rock band with my kid.
Notable mentions: Captain Malcolm Reynolds (Nathan Fillion from Firefly), Goku (Dragon Ball Z), Phillip J. Fry (Futurama), Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson from Stargate SG-1) Chuck Bartowski (Zachary Levi from Chuck), Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer from Frasier) and Everyone who is still alive in Game of Thrones.

We've had a circular calendar in our "Apple Room" for several months. It was one that I made, where each day of the week has it's own color. The "color wheel" also has an arrow that we move around the calendar clockwise. It's been very helpful in teaching the kids their colors and the days of the week. However, we're still struggling a bit. The calendar needed something more. So, I set out today to update our set up and this is the result.
Contact me at in.our.pond (at) gmail.com if you'd like a copy of my circle calendar (with or without the pictures). Thanks for reading.

Mansory Pink news - Don't think pink - 2009
Barbie has grown up and married an oligarch, and he's bought her this…
German tuner Mansory has taken what was once a perfectly acceptable £137,500 Bentley Conti GT Speed, called it the 'Fast Pink' (or Vitesse Rose, in a language we don't understand) and spent £235,000 on various 'improvements', including a bodykit, 21-inch wheels and offensive lashings of matt pink paint.
The car was shown at the Frankfurt show alongside various other repugnant creations, including a gruesome Cayenne with as much aesthetic appeal as a rotting leper.
Mansory has a long history of rude interference and recent victims include a Ferrari 599, Rolls-Royce Phantom and even a Bugatti Veyron.
Thankfully, just three Fast Pinks be built, and rumours that we just made up suggest that Jordan will probably buy two of them.

When you hear from the high school students who are involved in College Possible, listening to their hopes and dreams for the future and their willingness to work hard to achieve those goals, you can only marvel at their determination. College Possible provides a pathway that becomes a journey to success for students who otherwise might remain stuck in a marginalized environment. Bravo College Possible. The success rate of College Possible is a stunning achievement, in and of itself.
I was introduced to College Possible about five years ago and joined the board two years ago. Everyone I've met who is associated with College Possible shares an irrepressible passion for education. That passion is coupled with an intense focus on delivering measurable results for students, for our other direct stakeholders, and for society. The organization and the results it produces are phenomenal.
I've had the opportunity to serve on the College Possible board for three years. It is a phenomenal organization for three reasons: it has great people, the results are impressive and exceed those of peers, our students lives are forever changed. Whenever I have the opportunity to talk with students in our program, I am struck by how many of them say, "College Possible changed my life". Kids today face so much adversity, it isn't easy for them. Our program really makes a difference, through our people; it impacts lives in a personal and sustainable way.
