Math gives children a way to talk about objects and ideas, which develops vocabulary and general knowledge about the world. This is important as children learn to read. The more words and ideas they understand, the better children can comprehend what they read.

You can find opportunities every day to involve children in math activities. You do not have to be an expert to do this. Just give your children the chance to ask questions, look for answers, and talk about the experience.
Data Analysis
The Erikson Institute's Early Math Collaborative defines 9 foundational math concepts for young children. See http://earlymath.erikson.edu for more.
Data Analysis is gathering and organizing information to allow comparison and generalization.
Understanding that words can be broken into smaller pieces and then put back together helps children sound out words when they are ready to learn to read.
Listening to the patterns found in music can also help children identify other types of patterns, which may explain the "Mozart effect" – listening to music improves performance on certain math tasks requiring spatial-temporal reasoning.
Measurement & Patterns
Measurement is using numbers to describe an attribute.
Patterns refers to recognizing like items which repeat in sequence.
We often think of reading and math skills as being separate, but there is actually a lot of overlap. For example, recognizing patterns, classifying, sequencing, and solving problems are important skills for early math, but they're also important early literacy skills.
Counting & Sets
Counting is reciting the names of numbers in order and applying them to objects.
Sets refers to defining which things go together.
Learning about shapes and spatial relationships is an important precursor to both geometry and letter recognition. After all, letters are just combinations of shapes! Provide your child with lots of opportunities to identify, talk about, trace, draw, and manipulate shapes.
Shapes & Spatial Relationships
Shapes refers to recognizing and naming 2- and 3-dimensional shapes.
Spatial Relationships refers to understanding direction, orientation, and relative position of objects.
Opportunities for talking about numbers and number operations occur all the time. If everyone gets two crackers for snack, how many crackers do we need to put out? If bedtime starts in 30 minutes and it takes 10 minutes to get ready, how long do we have to play? The next time your child asks a question that requires math, you might say, "I'm not sure—let's figure it out." In this way, you are helping your child problem solve and discover something for him or herself.
Number Sense & Operations
Number Sense is associating the names of numbers with the quantities they represent.
Number Operations is seeing what happens when we join or separate sets.

Favorite Quote: I'm not a Pop Tart in the AM!
If anyone knows me, they know this is entirely true! Once in a rare while I'll have tons of energy in the morning, but ever since I was little, I've never been that early bird. I'm definitely a night owl, and it's been even harder getting up, being that I now have "Black Out" curtains!! It's like sleeping in a cozy bear den... well, if you're the bear... if you're a human in a bear den, I'd suggest you re-evaluate how cozy it truly is!! Nonetheless... Simmons or Beautyrest better not be getting any ideas from this...
Favorite Crush: Max Greenfield
Favorite Musical Discovery: Roman Virgo
I was browsing through Youtube putting together a new Playlist, and I happened upon this little jewel! I loved his voice & music, and can't wait to complete Roman Virgo's Playlist. He does a combination of R&B with Caribbean flair. More than that, is music videos were pretty cool. They were how music videos used to be-- where they tell a story or send a message, versus just having big bootied beatiful babes bouncing their butts on the camera lense (Try saying it 5X fast, lol). I miss the days where music had more substance. Check out Roman Virgo!
Favorite Pin Up: Stunning Anita Ekberg!
Kerstin Anita Marianne Ekberg was a Swedish actress, model, and sex symbol. She is best known for her role as Sylvia in the Federico Fellini film La Dolce Vita (1960). Ekberg worked primarily in Italy to which she became a permanent resident in 1964. (Wikipedia)... I found this picture online and thought about how stunning it was! Anita took this in 1955 during the classic pinup era. She's just so beautiful! More women need to take a page from that era... Sure, some of the "Peek-a-boo" pinups were pushing the envelope (Especially for the 1950's) but it was almost never overtly sexualized, like it is in 2015. Some of the sexiest women kept their clothes on (ahem, take a note, Kim Kardashian...)
Favorite Disappointment: Roman Reigns gets Booed at Royal Rumble
I was pretty excited that the folks in Connecticut got snowed in, last Monday for WWE Raw! That meant that WWE Network decided to show the Royal Rumble w/highly publicized Triple Threat Match (John Cena Vs. Seth Rollins Vs. Brock Lesnar) to all the WWE Universe... What I wasn't happy about, was how Roman Reigns (Who won the Royal Rumble, by the way) was treated by the WWE Universe (what we wrestling fans are called) after he had slung the Russian bulldog, Rusev, over the top ropes claiming the Royal Rumble victory. I admit, Roman Reigns is kind of an intermediate wrestler, but it was just sad to see someone treated like that. It's a huge honor to win the Royal Rumble, and joy was snatched from him that day. To win the Royal Rumble means you'll be a contender in the main event for Wrestlemania.
My only disappointment w/Roman winning, is that we didn't see much of him during the Royal Rumble. We saw great, long performances by Bray Wyatt, who stayed in the match for 45mins, before he was tossed out-- but Almost every time I saw Roman, he was being backed in a corner or trying to "recover" from being pummeled by one of the other Superstars... Because we didn't see much of him, it was just hard to fathom that he all the sudden is the last man standing. He doesn't have a fancy wrestling style-- most of his technique consists of power moves like the Superman Punch, Spears, and the occasional Samoan Drop... I however, I hate how folks tried to say that he's only the winner because his cousin is The Rock... To me, that's completely dumb. The entire WWE is made of families & their legacies. Roman comes from a wrestling FAMILY- not just The Rock. Natalya Niedhart- wrestling family. Bray Wyatt & Bo Dallas (Brothers) and wrestling family. New comer Charlotte Flare- Family.... The Usos (the HUGE wrestling Anoa'i family- the same as The Rock & Roman Reigns)... Stephanie McMahon is daughter of Vince McMahon & wife of Triple H-- there are TONS of familial relationships throughout the WWE, but if those folks didn't get in the ring & work for it, or if they were super-poor wrestlers, they wouldn't be having the opportunities to claim the titles. And above all else, it's absolutely scripted, anyway.
People take it so seriously, and it sucks, because they get all worked up about things that are pre-destined to happen. I mean, anyone watching the Casket Match between Kane & Danial Bryan last night, can tell you that! I loved the match, all the way until [SPOILER ALERT] Daniel Bryan kicked Kane into the casket, and Kane laid down so that he could shut the lid... Really, Kane? He totally got that cozy wiggle on... So people just need to sit back and enjoy the show, and stop making a bunch of serious statements about things that you know they're scripting. I think Roman's biggest problem is that he's smaller than super-huge power guys like Ryback, Kane, or Big Show... but much bigger than a super athletic/brain guy and flyers like Seth Rollins or Dolph Ziggler. He just has to find his niche-- but say, Daniel Bryan would have won... The WWE Universe would have gone crazy with joy... and if you think about it, Daniel Bryan's style is just as limited as people feel Roman Reign's. But whatever... Just don't boo my baby! lol
So, I'm cutting this short, because I spent most of the time writing about Wrestling... I might recruit more fans, lol. Let me know what you're watching!

I like watching bad movies. A fact that should come as no surprise whatsoever to long time readers of this blog. (And to the newcomer, welcome!) Sometimes I enjoy watching bad movies more than I enjoy watching good movies... and sometimes not. The reason being that (some) bad movies are far more entertaining than some good movies are. It is not something that can be described or explained to those that do not share a similar taste in questionable entertainment. All I can say is that sometimes, when I see some particularly tacky DVD cover art, or a particular name is listed in the credits, I just have to sit down and watch it:
"A pregnant animal ingests the fish and it [methyl mercury] corrupts the fetus until it [the pregnant animal] gives birth to a monster..."
After a land dispute between a paper company and "a couple of [Native American] tribes in Maine" becomes violent (lumberjacks and search parties both have gone missing in the forest) the matter becomes politically deadlocked; because nobody wants to rule on the legalities of who actually owns the disputed land. An Environmental Impact Report is thought to be an easy "out" for the decision makers. If a positive report is filed, then the paper company will be allowed to start cutting down trees in the region. But if a negative report is filed, the paper company will be "forced" to withdraw from the area. A negative report would also be a nice and sleazy way to keep the Native American tribes claims of legal ownership of the land unaddressed and unresolved. (The movie tries to make a negative report sound like some kind of "win" for the Native American tribes, but it really isn't.*)
The EPA sends in Dr. Robert Verne (Robert Foxworth) to investigate the matter. Verne quickly learns that his boss wasn't engaging in descriptive hyperbole when he told Verne that everybody involved in the land dispute were ready to kill each other. Verne and his wife, Maggie (a top-billed Talia Shire, who is given nothing whatsoever to do in the film, outside of a woefully underdeveloped sub-plot involving an unexpected pregnancy), witness a violent fight between an axe wielding Native American named John Hawks (Armand Assante) and a chainsaw swinging lumberjack (stuntman/actor Everett Creach) a short while after they arrive in Maine.
Bethel Isely (Richard Dysart), the paper company's representative, dismisses the fight as nothing more than violence caused by drunken Native Americans. "These are violent people Mr. Verne," Isely explains. "They get drunk and they get violent." But Verne, while angered and shaken by the fight, is not quick to accept Isely's side of the argument.
Hawks tells Verne that nothing could be further from the truth. That there is something mangling the local environment. "My people are violently ill," he says to Verne. "They are beginning to lose their faculties. They stagger, they fall, and this has nothing to do with alcohol." Ramona (Victoria Racimo), an associate of Hawks, also points out that there are a great many children being born with severe deformities.
Which is the point where the mythical beast Katahdin, a creature mentioned in passing by Isely earlier in the film, steps into the story's foreground. Hector M'Rai, an elderly shaman, tells Maggie that Katahdin is a creature that "bears a mark of each of God's creatures"** and that it has "wakened to protect us [the Native American people]."
Neither Dr. Verne or his wife Maggie think much of the Katahdin legend, at first. But then the good doctor figures out that the paper mill has been using methyl mercury to treat its lumber and that the local river is probably saturated with the toxic chemical. Methyl mercury poisoning not only causes brain damage (making people appear drunk or clumsy) but it can also cause severe birth defects.
And it has contaminated the entire forest...
You know what would have been bad ass? If the monster in Prophecy had actually looked like the mutated hell beast promised in the film's delightfully lurid advertisements (see the above poster, or watch this trailer) and described in loving detail (as having large, saucer-like eyes, membranous-wings, scales, etc.) by screenwriter David Seltzer in his bestselling novelization of the film.
Instead, after spending almost an hour building up a monster rumored to be "as large as a dragon" and that had "the eyes of a cat", not to mention assorted stuff like gills, webbed feet and claws, etc, the monster Katahdin turned out to look like this:
A giant, mutated bear-sausage looking thing. What an incredible disappointment. It looks like someone coated one side of Yogi Bear with used chewing gum.
Although film critic and former Creature Features host John Stanley was talking about a completely different film*** when he commented that "if you excite an audience's expectation for a monster, you'd better pay off," the criticism applies to Prophecy. What is even more frustrating is learning that, via an interview with special effects creator Thomas R. Burman, the man tasked with creating the mutated bear-sausage for the film, the original Katahdin design was much closer to what was on the film's poster and described in Seltzer's novelization than what eventually wound up in the film. Evidently director John Frankenheimer wanted something that looked more "bear-like" and less like the fantastical, and over-the-top, monster described in David Seltzer's script.
I'm guessing that Frankenheimer, who was less than happy with the final film, and more than happy to discuss just how professionally humiliated he was by Prophecy's critical and artistic failure, wanted something a bit more "realistic" looking. While he was arguably aiming for realism, what Frankenheimer actually achieved was an almost delirious level of ridiculousness. I know that Frankenheimer loved to place the blame for the film's many failures and flaws on his alcoholism, but Prophecy is also a fine example of how the older generation of filmmakers got washed away by the likes of Jaws (1975), Halloween (1978), and Alien (1979).
Like Irwin Allen's Production of The Swarm, which came out in 1978, Prophecy is the work of a director that did not recognize, understand, or accept, the changes that were sweeping through genre cinema at the time. Rather than treat the material with anything close to intelligence or respect, as Ridley Scott did with Alien, Frankenheimer instead handles the film as if it were nothing more than a 1950s era "Big Bug" programmer fated to be dumped into local drive-ins and grindhouses.
Instead of trying to shoot or edit around the film's obviously cumbersome and clumsy bear costumes (there are countless shots where the body of the performer wearing the monster suit can be easily seen moving beneath, pushing against, or tugging on the fabric of the ill-fitting costume) Frankenheimer smears the viewer's face in it. There are least three or four very well framed shots where Katahdin "runs" and it is obvious that the person wearing the atrocious looking costume does not have the foggiest idea of where he or she is going. So the terrifying beast Katahdin just kind of shuffles across the obvious film set, the fabric of the costume shaking and its almost comically over sized head bouncing ever so slightly atop its undersized body. Don't believe me? Look closely at how Katahdin shuffles and waddles and wags its arms at the "terrified" girl in this Classic Moment of Cinema.
So, why did this movie scare the ever living crap out of me when I was a kid? I kid you not, I literally could not get to sleep the night I first saw Prophecy. I lied in bed and tried to follow the advice on the poster. I didn't move. I tried not to breathe. I hoped that "she" would not find me.
Looking at the movie now, I wonder what the hell it was that scared me so bad. The movie is equal parts ridiculous and laughable. The director that made such cinematic classics as The Manchurian Candidate, Seven Days in May, and even Black Sunday (the one with the blimp, not the one with Barbara Steele) is completely and utterly absent from this movie. Yet, whenever I watch it, a big grin spreads across my face and I find myself wanting to curl up with a teddy bear that has been partially coated with used chewing gum.
Now that just sounds weird.
Film critic that hates the world rating: One and a half stars. It's bad, but not boring.
Chadzilla rating: Three stars. It's a fun bad movie to watch on your own, or with friends, but nothing above average.
* Then again, the impact report is just the MacGuffin that puts the characters on a collision course with the monster.
** Why a Native American shaman would make references to "God's creatures" and call the forest the "Garden of Eden" confuses me to no end.
*** Stanley was talking about the woefully underrated thriller Wolfen.

As the days of summer tick by one by one, fall will be here before you know it. Football season and starting practices are not that far off. Right now is the best time to plant or install football turf.
If you are preparing for the fall football season, then the time for action is right now. Here are the three top reasons why you should install football turf this summer.
1. It needs time to settle and grow. The grass needs to send down roots that will help the sod stay in place. Healthy roots make for a beautifully green playing field. Plus, summer is a good time because the field can rest and grow.
2. To avoid injury to players. Damaged turf and grass can cause serious injuries to football players. Don't let a sprained ankle sideline your team. Get that field repaired by installing football turf.
3. Summer is the perfect time to overseed, which will help to fill in the areas around sod. Installing football turf now and overseeding will help your field obtains a lush green and thick-carpeting look.
South Carolina has some harsh weather. Talk to any of our expert team members to figure out which type of sod will work best for your area. Finding the best football turf for your field can be a chore, but we are here to help you through that process. We are happy to answer all of your questions – just click and ask.

GetDoc: Hello Dr Helena, thanks for your time for this interview. We would like you to start by telling us a little bit about this book.
Dr Helena: 'Catching My Baby Dust' consists of stories of 14 couples who went through the IVF journey. It consists of inspiring true stories on the struggles the couples endured while trying to conceive. The book talks about what a couple will go through, not just clinically, but also psychologically all through the IVF journey.
Other than stories, it also comes with easy-to-comprehend medical information and the nitty-gritties of fertility. For example what infertility actually means, what a sperm test is, what medical conditions contribute to infertility etc, something that is easily understandable to the layman.
GetDoc: What motivated you to start putting the stories together?
Dr Helena: A lot of women don't talk more openly about infertility: embarrassment, shame, grief, inadequacy, all these could be the reasons. I know I can do something to help them, bring them out of this. The greatest pleasure of my daily life is to help these patients identify the issues that are actually preventing them from conceiving naturally and also help to rectify their problems. Some need just a little bit of reassurance and things just happen. Unfortunately, some need much more than reassurance. But the good news is that most of them will eventually have a baby in their arms following fertility treatments.
In my line of work, I have seen many couples who are challenged emotionally. You can walk into a bookstore and find there are a lot of books or references about IVF and infertility. Most of these books, if not all, tend to explain IVF on a scientific basis, for example: "How does IVF work". But rarely will you find something that talks about the emotional challenge that a couple goes through during their IVF journey. And yet, emotional challenge is crucial to determine a successful IVF. I found that there is a gap there, and I needed to bridge that gap. Thus the book was "born"!
GetDoc: What was the most challenging part of compiling the book?
Dr Helena: The most challenging and difficult part was getting the stories from 14 couples. Infertility is something very personal and a private issue, people tend to discuss it behind closed doors. It's very hard for a common man to discuss about infertility issues with another person.
I was touched and moved when one of my male patients came forward to contribute to this book. For us women, it's easier to talk and discuss our feelings with our friends and family. Since men have different ways of dealing with emotions, there are no supportive outlets for frustrations and it will take a toll on them. When a couple walks into a clinic, there is 50% chance of the infertility being due to the male. However, sad to say, there is a stigma whereby if a man admits his infertility issue, he will be seen as less of a man.
I have huge respect and admiration to those two men who came forward and shared their experiences, as I think it is important to recognize and deal with the issue. I hope by that gentleman coming forward, more men will feel more comfortable talking about the issue. Eventually, helping them to cope with infertility and achieve the goal.
GetDoc: Dr Helena, we understand that you are doing a lot in this industry – other than practicing as fertility specialist; you are a Professor at a University, while working on research, training and writing. Why did you still want to publish this book?
Dr Helena: As a mother of three, I can fully understand the desire of couples to have this little bundle of joy in their arms, and how these tiny little babies would complete and fulfill their lives. However, the reason that they are sitting in my clinic is that pregnancies aren't happening naturally, and therefore they are here to seek guidance and assistance.
Throughout these journeys, I have come across many women who deeply touched me with their perseverance and determination. I was greatly humbled by the experience. They have taught me life lessons, which is perseverance and never giving up.
I want to help to remove the stigma associated with infertility, I want to encourage more people to share their stories and give hope to those who still are at the beginning of their journeys towards parenthood. I want the couples to know that they are not alone. They should persevere, not give up and eventually they will achieve what they want.
While fertility issue is fairly known in Malaysia, we still need to constantly educate and increase awareness, especially on the psychosocial issues that surround patients who are dealing with infertility.
GetDoc: Who would you recommend to read this book?
Dr Helena: I would recommend this to whoever wants to go through the IVF journey or want to have better understanding about infertility. Patients will face unsuccessful IVF sometimes, and they should prepare themselves for that possibility. We want to encourage patients to keep trying if the treatment doesn't work, although they shouldn't rush straight into it.
GetDoc: Will we be seeing a second edition of this book?
Dr Helena: (Laughs) I do hope so!

HUH. This should've turned out better.
Admittedly, it's not a fool-proof premise, but it is a promising one: Take a character from a long-forgotten '30s radio serial and a near-forgotten '60s TV series, hand him over to a brilliant director—Michel Gondry, he of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Dave Chappelle's Block Party, The Science of Sleep, and about a billion phenomenally clever music videos—and a talented comedic actor like Seth Rogen, cast the bad guy from Inglourious Basterds as the bad guy, douse the thing in crazy slow-mo and trippy 3D, and... you know. Sit back. Let that shit happen.
But The Green Hornet takes all of those elements and does... well, very little with them. Overlong, muddled, and surprisingly boring, it suffers from a pretty crappy script (by Rogen and Even Goldberg), distracting and unnecessary post-production 3D, and weirdly limp direction from Gondry. Sure, there are some great sequences in The Green Hornet—fight scenes that manage to be both funny and cool, the occasional moment where Gondry decides to have some surreal, inventive fun with 3D—but they're too few and far between. By the time The Green Hornet spirals into a loud, muddy climax, I was taking off my 3D glasses to rub my eyes, sneaking glances at my watch, and making a mental list of Michel Gondry music videos to YouTube once I got home in order to restore my faith in the universe.
The concept is more or less Batman: Spoiled, douchey playboy Britt Reid inherits his father's fortune and newspaper, and also inherits Kato (Jay Chou), an extremely helpful, extremely charming sidekick who tricks out cars, knows kung fu, and makes awesome espresso. Somewhat inexplicably, they decide to fight crime; utterly inexplicably, they also both fall for the annoying Lenore Case (the annoying Cameron Diaz). And so it goes: They fight crime, they squabble, Kato invents some inventions, Gondry sneaks in a cool sequence now and again, and none of it is as much fun as it should be.

Men Wedding Rings Fit Masculine Taste and Lifestyle- Would you think be the this kind of damage both the norm for a married man, that today all spouses decide to use it. At least not in some sectors however.
In no way could the choice of generations. When I got married in 1980, it was usual that the friend, a commitment to give ring his girlfriend, but not to use the car. I can think of some friends in my age, married, that habits hubby and keep this time not rings use.
But check out my order now in the twenty-first century America, seems that the tide has changed. Almost all of the few his getting married today exchange wedding rings. Sometimes choose the bride wedding rings together, sometimes his style is something a little more modest than gold or Platinum Rings so different that women choose a jewel encrusted bands, while others prefer.
If everything about your wedding style, it is the individual choice of tradition, style and taste. And although I personally nothing like a man who rather not click see to use a wedding ring, it seems that it took some as a statement an option.
Some people find that a person want a wedding ring as a sign for his commitment for their wedding. For them, taking man… do a ring as a sign of loyalty to his partner and take the ring in most cases, women must not, because the man also?
But many of us know some people that are not comfortable to wear jewelry – or at least daunted by the decisions and resolutions, together with your purchase. Select like a wedding ring as important work full of complexity, requiring negotiating expertise:
- This meant that the best 14 k or 18 k gold?
- Should the ring all gold? About Platinum?
- Choose like a diamond?
- A decorative styles, as do Ireland wedding rings?
Fortunately, jewelry, which uses connoisseur, decide to educate potential customers on a wedding ring is the best choice for your style and your budget. Couples, the promised to discuss your desires with a prominent local merchant and also large amounts of information and instructions online.
Now wears a ring of the man's become much wider is, the retailer has a range of products with a taste of man and developed lifestyle. These include:
- Classic gold or Platinum in many wide wedding bands
- engraved ring model
- Diamond band
- Engagement rings are durable yet lightweight titanium
- two tones and timbres in three-Yellow combination gold, white or colored on the unit of torque
Most men might want that ring, that not only as a supplement to the appearance, but also with the daily life of work, as well as other sports and hobbies. Some have their rings for activities which may cause damage or severe wear, which possibly can materials and design to remove more durable.

Hooray for my blog's new feature, Bookmarked! I recently got interested in tweaking my blog and designing graphics on Photoshop. I also tried making bookmarks inspired by my favorite books' covers and of course, my favorite quotes. So I decided to showcase my works through my blog. They may not be as beautiful as you can imagine but I'm proud of them! Practice makes perfect, right? ;) This is also inspired by my blogger friend Kazhy of My Library in the Making's feature, Mark that Book! Go see her works! :)
For my introductory post of this new feature, here's my blog's personalized swag.
Calling Cards
I recently got the calling cards printed with the help of Ego Friendly Designs. They're pretty cute!
So, what can you say about them? I'd like to hear from you! You can suggest what books you want me to feature on "Bookmarked!" + your favorite quote/s! :)

Picture: Jasmine Trias - Mondays Dark With Mark Shunock - Premiere Charity Event & Red Carpet to Benefit Opportunity Village at Body English Nightclub Featuring Dot...
Glee star Matthew Morrison proposed to his fiancee during a romantic horse-back ride in Hawaii.
News of the actor/singer's engagement to Renee Puente emerged back in June (13) when Sir Elton John and Coldplay star Chris Martin dedicated a song to the happy couple during the Rocket Man's annual White Tie and Tiara Ball in London.
Morrison has now spoken out about his romantic proposal, revealing he popped the question a month before the party during a vacation in Hawaii.
He tells Britain's Ok! magazine, "I wanted it to be perfect and it was. We were on a horse trek in Maui and she wasn't expecting it at all. We tied the horses up and took a little walk on the beach and I knelt down and asked her to spend the rest of her life with me... She couldn't breathe for a little bit... then I asked her again and she said yes... I'm a pretty darn cheesy romantic."
Morrison goes on to reveal they have to wait until 2015 to get married because he is so busy.
He adds, "It's going to be a small wedding... But it won't be until early 2015 because my schedule is so busy."

High load on web server after updating from Ubuntu 10.04 to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Check out charts which lineup to when I upgraded:
I couldn't determine the cause of the load average increase…
Update: The issue might be memory bound. Check out this graph that show much higher swap.
After much research this appears to be a load calculation and display problem with the newer Linux kernels. The community has found Commit-ID: c308b56b5398779cd3da0f62ab26b0453494c3d4 to be the problem. The commit causes incorrect high reported load averages can be reported under conditions of light load and high enter/exit idle frequency conditions (greater then 25 hertz).A nice fellow at http://www.smythies.com/~doug/network/load_average/new.html researched the topic between tick and tickless linux kernels and the effect they had on load averages. You should check it out.

Spanish banks' bad loans, a major source of concern to financial markets, rose in July to the highest level in 16 years at nearly seven percent, the Bank of Spain said Monday.
Bank loans whose recovery is in doubt amounted to 124.7 billion euros ($171.9 billion), or 6.94 percent of total assets, in July, the central bank said in a report -- the highest ratio since February 1995.
That compares to a revised bad loan ratio in June of 6.69 percent in June. The central bank had previously said the bad loan ratio was 6.42 percent that month.
Spain's lenders, especially its regional savings banks which account for about half of all lending in the country, have been heavily exposed to bad debt since the collapse of the property sector at the end of 2008.
The government and Bank of Spain have forced a wave of consolidation in the sector this year and are requiring banks to quickly increase the proportion of core capital they hold to above international norms.

March James Gang Interview
Each month, I interview authors or publishing insiders who have some form of "James" in their names or in their books. My March interviewee is author Jim Farrell!
1. Why James?
That is my given name, but I use Jim Farrell for the author name on all my books. One funny story: my birth certificate says James Farrell, but when I was confirmed (Catholic), I took the confirmation middle name of Leo, after my father. He was James L. Farrell, and I became James L. Farrell, Jr. When I entered the Army, they would not allow the Leo or the Jr. because neither was on my birth certificate. Since the Army abhors a vacuum, I became James (NMI) Farrell. My Sunoco credit card to this day lists James N. Farrell as the cardholder, and my younger son always loved it that my middle initial on the card stood for No Middle Initial.
2. What fiction genre(s) or sub-genre(s) do you write?
If I had to put my books in a category, I would say general literary fiction. There is romance in most of my books (Mikey's Quest for Father God being the exception), but you would never find my books in a romance section of Walmart or a book store.
Brooklyn Boy, my first novel, is the coming-of-age story of a young boy in 1940s and 1950s Brooklyn and Long Beach, NY. It is semi-autobiographical, but definitely fiction.
The Extraordinary Banana Tree, my second novel, is about the fall of Saigon in 1975 and the events leading up to it. I insist that it is not a war story, but a love story in time of war. Again there is a lot of Jim Farrell in Billy Dobson, the hero, but it is fiction.
Mikey's Quest for Father God is "a joyous romp through my theological and philosophical past." I spent 11 years in a Roman Catholic seminary, including two years studying Philosophy at the Gregorian University in Rome, Italy. and thoroughly enjoyed putting that education to use during young Mikey's quest for God.
My fourth novel, and favorite, is The Barge of Curiosity. It is the story of three youngsters who fall in love at age six and never fall out of love. Mark Tuttle, the little boy, and Peggy Mayhew, one of the two girls, both fall in love with Sandy Roberts. I can understand that; I fell in love with her too.
My fifth published book, Kiss Me, Kate, and Other Stories, is a collection of short stories set in a variety of locations and illustrating the depth of the human spirit; the importance of laughter; and the miracle of love.
3. Tell us more about your latest release.
The Barge of Curiosity, as I said in the previous section, is the story of three youngsters who fall in love with each other at age six and never fall out of love. Sandy Roberts and Mark Tuttle made their first appearance in eight stories in Kiss Me, Kate. I then expanded those stories into a novel, added Peggy Mayhew, and created a lifelong adventure for them on the barge of curiosity. Peggy created that term when they were group studying while still in grammar school, and they stay on that barge, with Mark as the captain, throughout life. Unlike my earlier novels, this one is not in any way autobiographical.
One of my favorite characters in the book is Mark's and Sandy's daughter, Maddie. Sandy asks that wonderful question about Maddie, "Can you love all your children the same, and yet love one more that the others?" There are stories within the story as Sandy creates children's books with Alexandra the Mouse (based on Maddie, of course) as the heroine. One of my favorite chapters is the next to last, Maddie's Soliloquy, where Maddie's thoughts comprise the entire chapter. (Unlike Mollie's Soliloquy in Ulysses, Maddie uses punctuation in her thoughts.) Most of the book takes place in Rhode Island, but Mark and Sandy go to Ireland twice and Italy once, on their honeymoon. He saves her life, one of two times, in Flagler Beach, Florida. And Sandy and Peggy walk on the Great Wall. They do get around. I loved writing this book, and I think readers will love living their adventures.
4. Is there a core story and/or theme in your books?
The books are all different, but if I had to pick a theme, it would be love, with all its joys and pains, highs and lows. Little Brian Farley and Anita Sanchez, the star-crossed lovers of Brooklyn Boy; Billy Dobson and Cheryl Flynn who endure the fall of South Vietnam together; Sandy Roberts and Mark Tuttle (and Peggy Mayhew) lifelong lovers in The Barge of Curiosity.
5. Do you have a favorite hero and/or heroine in your books, and why?
My wife accuses me of falling in love with all my heroines, and I think she is right. I loved Anita Sanchez while I was writing Brooklyn Boy. I fell in love with Cheryl Flynn during the writing of The Extraordinary Banana Tree. And I fell in love with Sandy Roberts while creating The Barge of Curiosity. Of the three, I would pick Cheryl Flynn as my overall favorite. She is so competent. Two scenes I loved writing:
During the evacuation of Danang: "A group of fifteen American contractors approached Billy. 'Can you get us out of here?' their spokesman asked. He assumed Billy was in charge. 'Cheryl, can we?' asked Billy, surprising the contractors. 'I thought you were in charge.' 'No,' answered Billy, 'she is. I'm just her bodyguard.' She said to the contractor, 'Don't worry. I'm not leaving behind any American who wants to get out.' The contractors all thanked Cheryl as they boarded the plane. One of them, a PA&E employee, said to Billy, 'Who is that woman? Wonder Woman?' Billy laughed and said, 'Yes, she is.'"
During the evacuation of Nha Trang: "'Mel, how are we feeding this multitude tonight? I sound like Philip asking Jesus how we're going to feed the crowd,' said Cheryl. 'There is a young boy here with five loaves and two fishes,' said Mel with a straight face. 'Shall I have him bring them to you to bless and distribute to the crowd?'"
6. What do you enjoy most about being an author?
Creating characters and watching them grow. I gave a talk at a local writers' group recently and gave them examples of how characters can surprise even the writer at times. I mentioned Sandy's question above in The Barge of Curiosity, "Can you love all your children the same, and yet love one more than the others?" That occurs early in the book. On the next to the last page of the book, Maddie's daughter, Alexandra, is visiting her grandmother, Sandy, and Sandy tells her she has the most beautiful face in the world. Alexandra smiles and says, "I look like you, Grandma." I never planned the next line. It just popped into Sandy's head, and I just wrote it down: Can you love all your grandchildren the same, and yet love one more that the others? I think it is one of the best lines, if not the best, of the novel.
7. Do you have any awards, reviews or kudos you'd like to tell us about?
I have three reviews that I cherish, all from fellow authors, the first two on Brooklyn Boy, and the third on The Extraordinary Banana Tree:
"Thank you for the pleasure and joy of Brooklyn Boy." Mary-Ann Tirone Smith, author of Girls of Tender Age.
"This was a fun and thoughtful venture into life in New York during a more innocent time. Farrell writes with a smooth style, easy to read and well paced. Funny and at times heart-wrenching, a great mix of human nature and everyday life." Karla Jay, author of Speaking in Tungs and Speak of the Devil.
"The Extraordinary Banana Tree is a deeply moving tale that provides a wondrous contrast between the ugliness of war and the power of love...Unfaltering in its vision and uncompromising in its treatment, The Extraordinary Banana Tree calls to mind the classic work of both Herman Wouk and James Jones. Stark, vibrant and not to be missed." Jon Land, author of the Caitlin Strong series.
8. How do you promote your books and your author brand?
I did nothing for the longest time. Last year, I hired a marketing consultant, WingWoman4Hire, here in Flagler Beach, Florida, and she set up a website and a Facebook author page for me, and we now do constant marketing and promoting on Facebook. That is basically the only marketing I do.
9. What is your next project?
Another collection of short stories, The Committee and Other Stories, has been edited and is now with my publisher. I hope it will be live on Amazon by April. Like Kiss Me, Kate, the stories cover multiple topics. Two of the stories that I love are "The Old Lady Whose Stool Exploded," and "What the Hell Does Cis-gender Mean?"I had a lot of fun writing the stories. Next will be another novel, my fifth, but it is still in the planning stage.
10. Do you have a bit of wisdom you'd like to impart or a favorite quote?
Wisdom: persist. I started Brooklyn Boy forty years ago when I returned from Vietnam. I was in New Orleans at the time. I carried around over 400 type-written pages for many, many years and finished it when I retired. Did it ever change! The original title was The Scare Was Passed On, and there was no Anita Sanchez in the original. Can you imagine Brooklyn Boy without Anita Sanchez? I can't.
Quote: my good friend Frank McGoff had one of the great quotes on books: "Why do they call the great books 'The Great Books'? Because they're great books."

WEATHER WARNING: UK set for bitter winter plunge as snowfall could hit Britain this week
OCTOBER may have been unseasonably warm, but the weather is about to take a change for the worse plunging Britain into a bitter winter.
This week will see temperatures dramatically drop, and weather experts have even warned the season's first snowfall could be about to hit the UK.
Expect thermometers to nosedive tomorrow, as harsh northerly winds replace mild southerly breezes, causing temperatures to struggle to reach eight degrees, a bitter change from the 18C recorded earlier this afternoon.
Forecasters have predicted snow could hit Britain by the end of the week
Bitter northerly winds will bring a change in temperature
As the week draws to a close, temperatures will fall even further, likely reaching freezing in Scotland, Wales and even Devon and Cornwall by the weekend.
And with the cold weather, there is a chance of snow falling in Scotland and the north of England over the next few days.
Temperatures are expected to reach freezing by the end of the week
James Madden, forecaster for Exacta Weather, has warned of "significant" snowfall before December.
He said: "Things are turning much colder from the north this week with the cold spreading to other parts of the country, paving the way for a quite cold and much more traditional November period.
"This will bring an increase in the snow risk levels across the country in among some periods of unsettled weather.
"The first notable wintry blast and potentially widespread snow showers will occur during the early part of November and there will also be ample amounts of fog and frost for many within this period too."
A spokesman from The Weaher Outlook added: "Over high ground in the north significant snowfall is a possibility."
It comes as temperatures rose as high as 21C in Wales today as freak Halloween sunshine hit the UK.
It's thought snow will hit Scotland and the north of England

We have a few different nitrogen tanks and sizes available. Typically we recommend the 20cu/ft Steel Nitrogen tank, or the 28cu/ft Aluminum Nitrogen tank for size reasons if you are looking to keep your nitro tank inside your kegerator unit. These tanks are fairly compact in size and will not take up more room than a standard 5 gallon keg. These are the ideal tank sizes if you are looking to get a cold brew and nitro coffee kegerator that will be serving both cold brew and nitro coffee, as the nitrogen tank and regulator will need to stay inside the fridge with the kegs.
If you are storing your nitrogen tank outside of your kegerator or refrigerator unit, we would recommend the 40cu/ft or 55cu/ft Steel tank. The large size gives you more gas, which mean you will be refilling the lest often!

A state department official has said that it was Secretary of State Hillary Clinton who ordered the FBI to come up with a terrorist plot that would finger Iran.
The FBI willingly complied with the Secretary of State's wishes after the National Research Council concluded the FBI investigation into the 9/11 anthrax attacks didn't support the evidence.
The FBI tried but failed to steer or otherwise pressure" the academy's scientific panel" to reach a conclusion desired by the bureau. Hillary Clinton ordered the fabrication of evidence and false accusations against Iran in order to support the United States government version of events of an imminent CIA/DHS/FEMA false flag attack on United States soil.
Just days after 9/11 a retired four-star general stated that the United States government had already decided to attack 7 countries – Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Iran.
General Wesley Clark, former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO during the Clinton's war – the Kosovo War, stated publicly that the U.S. government had already made plans before the attacks of 9/11 to attack Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Iran.
The wars of aggression plans were made during the Clinton administration years by Bill and Hillary Clinton, George HW Bush, Henry Kissinger, Zbigniew Brzezinski, the CIA (the Knights of the Holy See), the Federal Reserve bankers (Goldman Sachs) and directed by the Black Pope (the Jesuit General).
The Patriot Act was also drafted during the Clinton administration.
State department officials have said that that it is Hillary Clinton who is pushing to complete the Globalists' plans to take over the Middle East. She is using propaganda to target Iran for retaliation ahead of the CIA false flag attack against the United States. The U.S. false flag attack will be 2 fold.
The CIA will detonate a improvised nuclear device in a major U.S. city and then release a biological weapon against the first responders. As this is happening Obama, Biden, Panetta, Hillary Clinton, the DHS, FEMA and the Federal Reserve bankers will be in the Deep Underground Military Base under Denver International Airport.
Why now? The Occupy Wall Street Protests have spread nation wide. The U.S. government cannot contain the protests with news blackouts very much longer.
To punish the American people for daring to call for the abolishing of the Federal Reserve – the U.S. shadow government – the Federal Reserve bankers have called for an immediate false flag attack against the United States people.
This imminent CIA false flag attack will be blamed on Iran. The plan of attack is very similar to the Operation Northwoods false flag attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001.
On that day the Unites States government ordered their state sponsored terrorist group – the CIA – to fly remotely controlled CIA aircraft into the World Trade Center Towers and then set off small tactical nukes underground to cause the asbestos condemned office towers to fall.
As the tower were still burning the United States government immediately blamed Saudi billionaire bin Laden for the attacks. No investigation had even started as the twin towers hadn't even collapsed yet and the United States government were already blaming bin Laden.
Back in 2009 when the American people protested in the Tax Day Tea Party Revolt Obama ordered the release of the A-H1N1 virus.
He intended on murdering millions of Americans. Why? Because they dared to revolt against him just 3 months after being sworn in as the 44th and last president of the Republic of the United States.
U.S. military officials have made plans of their own if the U.S. government should launch any false flag attack(s) against the United States people.
They have planted viruses in all of the Deep Underground Military Bases and they have planted high explosives in the tunnels.
If the U.S. government dares to launch another false flag attack against the United States and its people the U.S. military plan on burying them all alive. After the tunnels are collapsed and the base entrances are sealed the planted virus will be triggered.
The U.S. people and the U.S. military know who their real enemy is. The U.S.people are now revolting against their enemy on Wall Street and across the United States. The U.S. military is prepared to launch their own attacks against the real enemies of the United States – British subject Barack Hussein Obama, Joe Biden, Leon Panetta, Hillary Clinton, the DHS, FEMA and the Federal Reserve bankers.

In retaliation for undermining the FBI 9/11 anthrax case the FBI have arrested and filed sex charges against the key witness for the National Research Council – Dr. Kimberly Quinlan Lindsey – an official at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Dr. Lindsey was charged with two counts of molestation and one count of bestiality on Sunday. Her live-in boyfriend, security guard Thomas Westerman, 42, was also charged with two counts of child molestation. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for December 1. Why the charges?
To discredit the National Research Council report and the testimony of their key witness. Why delay her preliminary hearing for 7 weeks? To keep her from telling the court and the public how the FBI was involved in a cover up of the 2001 anthrax attack.
It won't matter what she has to say in her defense, because of the imminent CIA false flag attacks. Another reason to keep her in custody until Dec 1 is that she could be a vital witness to debunk what the United States government is going to say and who they are going to accuse after the imminent CIA nuclear and biological false flag attacks.
According to a Daily Mail report Dr. Lindsey is a biological terrorism expert. "Lindsey is the deputy director for the Laboratory Science Policy and Practice Program Office. In the last 12 years while working for the agency she has received 12 awards for outstanding performance on projects and programs.
Before this she was the senior health scientist in the Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response which oversees the allocation of $1.5billion for the preparation for terrorism. She got a doctoral degree in immunology and molecular pathogenesis from Emory University."

REWIND: face the music of 2012
Hindi films are known for their song-and-dance sequences. Here's looking at some of the hit songs from 2012 and the composers behind them.india Updated: Dec 30, 2012 14:47 IST
Hindi films are known for their song-and-dance sequences. Here's looking at some of the hit songs from 2012 and the composers behind them.
Hit list: Barfi!'s music was not only fresh, but had many gems including the
hummable 'Ala Barfi' sung by Mohit Chauhan. The peppy song worked like magic. 'Aashiyaan' sung by Shreya Ghoshal and Nikhil Paul George was loved for its folk feel and superb violins.
'Tumhi ho bandhu' and 'Daru desi' from Cocktail were both hits overnight,
the former, sung by Neeraj Shridhar and Kavita Seth, went on to become a sort of an anthem for the youth. 'Daaru desi' was a fresh song with a good melody sung brilliantly by Benny Dayal and Shalmali Kholgade. Another feather in Pritam's hat is the popular dance number 'Tu mera hero' from Desi Boyz that went on to become one of the biggest hits of the year. Mika's vocals added an extra edge to it.
What's next: Race 2, Dhoom:3, Phata Poster Nikla Hero, Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Again, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Murder 3.
Amit Trivedi
Hit list: He gave many hits in the soundtracks of Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu, English Vinglish, Aiyyaa and Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana, but it was Ishaqzaade that
surpassed them all. Shalmali Kholgade's
rendition of 'Pareshan' turned it into an overnight sensation with its burst of energy. This romantic song had the right mix of grunge and melody.
What's next: Bombay Velvet, Kai Po Che, Lootera, Ghanchakkar.
Hit list: Many songs of Rowdy Rathore became hits including Shreya Ghosal and Wajid's 'Dhadang dhadang' and item song 'Aa re pritam pyare' sung by Mamta Sharma. But it was 'Chinta ta ta chita chita' that took the cake. Not only was the film a remake, but Sajid and Wajid recomposed the song from the southern film as well.
However, Mika Singh added the fun flavour to the Hindi version. Sajid-Wajid were guest composers for Ek Tha Tiger and delivered a super hit in 'Mashallah'. Sung by Wajid and Shreya, this energetic song with a middle-eastern flavour has a stylish and sexy feel to it.
What's next: Sher Khan, Chashme Buddoor, Ishkq in Paris.
Vishal Shekhar
Hit list: Youthful, hip and energetic, these words best describe the music of Student Of The Year. Nazia Hassan's cult
number 'Disco deewane' was remixed to include the elements a hit song needs — a peppy tune, catchy lyrics, a foot-tapping beat combined with nostalgia. Benny Dayal and Sunidhi Chauhan's rendition merged brilliantly with Nazia's voice. The
ballad 'Ishq wala love' is an effortless melody sung by Neeti Mohan, Shekhar Ravjiani and Salim Merchant. 'Vele' is another song with zing and youthful beats. The dance number 'Radha' sung by Shreya Ghoshal, accompanied by Vishal and Shekhar, was another hit track from this album. The soundtrack has the right mix, be it Hinglish or Indian and hip-hop style.
What's next: Chennai Express, Happy New Year.
Himesh Reshammiya
Hit list: Back with a bang, Himesh worked his magic with Son Of Sardaar's super hit song 'Po po'. Sung by Vikas Bhalla, Aman Trikha and Himesh himself, this Punjabi song has many peppy elements including dhol beats, which make it catchy. Perhaps the repetitive 'po po' routine worked the most for this one. It was a super hit that helped the film as it was filmed on guest star Salman Khan along with most of the cast of the film.
Himesh seemed to be on a roll in 2012 and in Khiladi 786 he delivered many hit songs including 'Balma', which is supposed to be a tribute to RD Burman and the energetic 'Lonely' that also features Yo Yo Honey Singh.
What's next: Shortcut Romeo, one song each in Naam Hai Boss and Special Chabbis; and A New Love Ishtory.

External Economic Factors Could Force Brazil Default
This weekend's presidential election will almost certainly put Brazil's economic policy in the hands of former labor-union leader Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
But Brazilians may well find that even if their new president surprises Wall Street skeptics and embraces economic orthodoxy, factors that are beyond his control may continue to push the country toward a default on its massive public debt.

Unanswered: performance for Oracle 9i JVM
Can anyone tell me any ideas of performance for Oracle 9i JVM?
I am using Oracle 9.0.1, which is shipped with a 1.2.1 JVM internal in DB. I created a java stored function and found that it is 10+ times slower, compare to Stardard Sun JVM (1.3.1).
The java stored function send a String to a Java remote application and receive a String from it.
A Socket object and its ObjectInputStream, ObjectOutputStream object are created only ONCE for reuse. After that, whenever the function is invoked, it just send a String (about 20 characters) and receive a String (2 characters)
I find the total CPU load (time * average CPU percentage) is 35s, and with that 35s, 10s is for the load of java function invokation itself.
On the other hand, if I call the function outside Oracle, the load is about 3s.

Vice President-elect Mike Pence received a powerful message from the cast of the Tony Award-winning musical "Hamilton" on Friday night.
At the end of the evening's performance, Brandon Victor Dixon, who plays Aaron Burr in the production, asked Pence to stick around to hear their concerns as the VP was making his way to the exit.
WATCH: 'Hamilton' Cast Opens Up About Diversity, Beyonce, and Crashing the Phone Lines
"We, sir – we – are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our children, our parents, or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights," Dixon said. "We truly hope that this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and to work on behalf all of us."
Tonight, VP-Elect Mike Pence attended #HamiltonBway. After the show, @BrandonVDixon delivered the following statement on behalf of the show. pic.twitter.com/Jsg9Q1pMZs— Hamilton (@HamiltonMusical) November 19, 2016
Before delivering his moving speech, Dixon asked patrons to cease their sneers, informing Pence that the Tony Award-winning show is "told by a diverse group of men and women of different colors, creeds and orientations."
Theatergoers pointed out the irony of the VP's appearance at a show that celebrates diversity considering Pence's history of gay rights opposition and his current work for an administration that has advocated for the deportation of illegal immigrants.
WATCH: Lin-Manuel Miranda Dishes on the 'Life-Changing' Day He Found Out He Was Going to Be a Dad
Reminder that the current star of Hamilton is the incomparable Javier Muñoz, an openly gay, openly HIV-positive actor. Pay attention, Pence.— Marc Snetiker (@MarcSnetiker) November 19, 2016
I'm at #Hamilton and so is Mike Pence. Crowd booed him like crazy, and gave a standing O at the line "immigrants we get the job done" 1/2— Christy Colburn (@christymoose) November 19, 2016
2/2 Crowd went NUTS at King George's lines "when people say they hate you" & "do you know how hard it is to lead?" He had to stop the song.— Christy Colburn (@christymoose) November 19, 2016
Pence's social and political beliefs, which contrast greatly with the show's message, drew him loud jeers from the audience during both the beginning and end of the performance.
Here's Pence getting booed as he gets to his seats at Hamilton pic.twitter.com/IRQG68x1sB— David K (@dkipke12) November 19, 2016
On Saturday, Donald Trump took to Twitter and demanded an apology from the Hamilton cast for confronting Pence.
"Our wonderful future V.P. Mike Pence was harassed last night at the theater by the cast of Hamilton, cameras blazing," he tweeted. "This should not happen!"
The Theater must always be a safe and special place.The cast of Hamilton was very rude last night to a very good man, Mike Pence. Apologize!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 19, 2016
Shortly after, Dixon took to Twitter himself to dispute Trump's claim that he had "harassed" Pence.
@realDonaldTrump conversation is not harassment sir. And I appreciate @mike_pence for stopping to listen.— Brandon Victor Dixon (@BrandonVDixon) November 19, 2016
In May, President Obama freestyled with "Hamilton" star Lin Manuel Miranda. See the video below.
