HELPER, Carbon County - Alberta "Bertie" Rose Rolando died Monday, April 21, 2014, in Salt Lake City. She was 82. Alberta was born on April 24, 1931, in Sopris, Colo. to Frank and Mary "Dukes" Mazzarise Jerant. She spent her childhood in Southern Colorado and later moved to Helper Utah.

Alberta attended Notre Dame Catholic School and was graduated from Carbon High School, both in Price. She graduated as Registered Nurse from St. Benedict's School of Nursing in Ogden in 1952. She worked as a public health nurse in Carbon County and for brief periods, she worked at the former Price and later Carbon hospitals in Price.

Posted on 07/13/2012 9:26:26 PM PDT by DogByte6RER
Bikini-clad, gun-toting Israeli woman becomes an Internet sensation
A photo of a gun-wielding, bikini-clad woman standing on a crowded Tel Aviv beach has become an Internet sensation, with thousands of viewers curious about whether the brunette beauty is part of Israel's military and why she wasn't in uniform with her weapon in tow.
The newspaper Haaretz notes that 'To an Israeli, the photo makes perfectly practical sense. When soldiers take their weapon off military premises, they must guard it closely and keep it on their person, at all times. Having one's weapon stolen is harshly punished with time in military prison a given.'
A photo of a gun-wielding, bikini-clad woman standing on a crowded Tel Aviv beach has become an Internet sensation, with thousands of viewers curious about whether the brunette beauty is part of Israel's military and why she wasn't in uniform with her weapon in tow.
The young woman, dressed only in a black-and-white string bikini, was captured chatting with a friend, rifle (with its magazine removed) slung casually behind her back. Though there's no uniform to identify her, the woman appears to be part of the Israel Defense Forces. Two years of IDF service is mandatory for most Israeli women at age 18. Men serve three years.
The photo was viewed 650,000 times in one day and was posted on sites including Facebook, Reddit and Gizmodo under titles like "Only in Israel," and "Badass Chicks in Israel Don't Go To the Beach Without Their Assault Rifles." It garnered a series of lascivious comments from male admirers but almost as many questions about the IDF's weapons policy for off-duty soldiers.
Israel's Haaretz newspaper, which picked up on the viral photo, wrote that "To an Israeli, the photo makes perfectly practical sense. When soldiers take their weapon off military premises, they must guard it closely and keep it on their person, at all times. Having one's weapon stolen is harshly punished with time in military prison a given. "
Haaretz also concludes that Israelis are "used to seeing guns in all kinds of places - propped up next to the guy sitting next to us in a coffeeshop, or in a university classroom, and of course, slung over the shoulders of women soldiers." That apparently also includes the shoulder of a woman ready for an afternoon at the beach.
"Where does she keep the magazine?!?"
I'm not sure that I want to know...
In the butt of the...
You sly dog you!
You tricked me!
Hottie alert!
Well, if I ever had to abandon the US I know where I would want to go for sure.
I don't care where she keeps the magazine. I like the picture. A lot
This is my weapon,
This is my gun,
This one's for shooting,
This one's for shooting fun.
....Wait .....Erh .....doesn't sound right....
I bet she's a crack shot.
Would you like a towel ?
LOL No I don't need one.
I hope she is a damn good shot. Doesn't look like there's a lot of
space for spare ammo.
Then of course there will be the de-sanding, cleaning, lubricating of the weapon after being exposed to that environment.
But hey, at least the black rifle matches her white/black bikini! :-) She can guard my beach anytime.
Have no fear citizens, the suits are bullet proof.
I just noticed she doesn't have any hips.
Hey South40 my Hubby says he knows that girl! He can tell her by her "eyes".
That's a handful.
And they're not screaming wildly and passing out from the sight of a firearm?? What's wrong with these folks?
Second thing I noticed too.
The guy walking away from her, is that the Brady Bunch guy?
The ultimate military diversion tactic.
No. Chris Knight (the Brady Bunch guy) and her are divorced. She was walking around the convention center alone posing with the public.
Here is another shot of her in the same pose taken probably 30-secs earlier.
Hi antceecee. Yes, I, too recognized her eyes. :-)
Nothing new. I've been telling a story since 1989 when our ship (CVN-71) visited Haifa. We saw several gorgeous young ladies walking around town with a weapon over one shoulder and a purse over the other. Beautiful ladies in Israel!
If she has no magazine, she is carrying a club.
Wanna bet he's busy renewing his passport? lol
ZOOT: "And then the spanking! And the oral sex!"
GIRLS: "The oral sex! The oral sex!"
Hahaha...Laz gave his opus the other day...kind of!
Agreed, nothing new. I have a pic from 1995 of an IDF bikini gal slinging her M16A2. At least they carry M4s now, somewhat more compact. But right after the 1967 victory there were lots of images of Israeli girls carrying Uzi's. They wore snug khaki shorts & khaki shirts with the ends tied to bare the midriff.
My comment on those pics:
The crazy is strong in this one.
do you have the link to that opus?...... I seriously want to read what he said.... I am extremely concerned with the decline of Free Republic
It was thought that the black stripes on the bias are hash marks celebrating Laz hits
What does that mean?
Correction: Laz gave America's opus the other day
To a place with daily, indiscriminate terror attacks?
If you've ever been to Israel, you know that you see IDF personnel everywhere (both on and off duty) carrying their weapons. Its a pretty good deterrent against terrorism or crime of any sort. On the flip side, many IDF personnel look and act like college students—except they're wearing uniforms and guns. They appear to act much less professional than US military personnel.
The girl in the black poka-dot dress in the photo you posted looks like Chloe from 24.
Israelis take "Never Again" very seriously and they know who their enemies are. We The People, including Liberal Jews, have chosen, with the help of the MSM and the Regime's propaganda, to forget history! Too many Americans don't know who the enemies of freedom are and don't see them hiding in our government. Case in point, ObamaCare/DeathCare which, IMO, is the next Holocaust and the current dictator in our White House. And, let's not forget, mosques sprouting up everywhere in the USA thanks to Liberals.
Moving to Israel, anyone???
How do we know it's a woman? LOL.
Lighten up, Francis
Femme Fatale...
Look at the reaction of the OTHER people on the beach! Where is the panic! Oh wait, they are comfortable having chicks carry on the beach.
Think of what would happen if it was in the citified USA.
Obviously you have never been to Israel.
Heh, Ack Ack Cunningham is correct...it REALLY was America's Opus.
Here is the link: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2905667/posts
I have to stop telling people it was his opus...:)
Good God Tex, I'm in HEAVEN...
You sure know how to warm up a guy's heart!!!!

Keep an eye with the setup see if it loses time too quickly like a few minutes or more per day. I would appreciate a picture of the underside of the board. Oh, you can buy some solder wick to help with desoldering pins. Drove me nuts trying to unsolder a row of pins before I knew solder wick or desoldering iron.
Eric,10 minutes a day is a bit too much. Are you keeping the shield in doors with constant temperature? The time can only be accurate with DS1307 if the crystal is kept at constant in door temperature. The crystal oscillation frequency is a function of temperature.

Brussels, a sustainable city
Cosmopolitan and convivial. Unique and fun. Brussels is the ideal destination for a memorable and sustainable trip.

What does Brussels have to offer?
A hub of high-speed rail and air links for international travel.
Eco-labels to encourage the tourism sector to modernise.
A strong emphasis on participatory tourism.
A city that is accessible to people with reduced mobility: see Brussels For All.

The tourist offer in Brussels is growing and improving day by day: it has hotels that are energy efficient but generous in comfort, and restaurants serving healthy food with authentic flavours.
More modern and more fun ways to experience the city, by bike, on foot, on rollerblades or on Segways, which beats being stuck between two cars in a traffic jam.
And a host of other appealing, environmentally friendly and ethical attractions designed with respect for their sites' natural and cultural resources and heritage.

Amazon's top toy tips for ChristmasPocket-lint
The tension reaches boiling point. Faces swell and bloom red, and eyes dart one way to another, rarely taking in the surroundings, yet fully aware of the similarly single-minded throng that's forming. Elbows start to twitch, poke and flail as the crowd jostles for position. The air is thick with perspiration and anxiety...
...It's Christmas time again. And the queue outside the toy store is rammed with eager parents, willing to sacrifice a shoe, tooth or clump of hair in order to get their kids the latest thing; the hottest toy; the one piece of moulded plastic that will grant the family some blessed relief for the holidays (no matter their religious persuasion).
Failure is not an option.
Which is why it's always a wonder that they don't just order the latest toys via the Internet. Certainly, Amazon, with its wishlists and pre-orders, is geared up for delivering the right present at the right time. There's no need to punch a middle-aged divorcee for the blue Power Ranger any more. No matter how much fun that sounds.
And to help, Pocket-lint spent a morning playing with the latest toys - the ones that Amazon believes will be high on most kids' (and some adults') gift lists - just so you can be fully prepared before the rest of the cattle stampede.
Shipping in August for around £28, the Star Wars Lightsaber Room Light is remote controlled, with several different colours of light (including purple - Mace Windu, in geek speak), wall-mountable, and you have to build it yourself.
Its soft lighten modes mean the lamp is excellent as a night light, and young Star Wars fans will love its form factor. Obviously, older ones will too.
Mattel's Loopz is an electronic game that is, essentially, a modernised version of Simon. However, there's many more modes than just the simple "repeat after me" type of gameplay.
You can even play it just as an instrument, and, as it works by the player crossing beams in each of its slots with just their hands, the whole experience is something akin to a Jean Michel Jarre concert.
It's not cheap, costing around £35 on launch, but it's a game the whole family can play.
Another, more cerebral family electronic game comes in the guise of Mind Flex.
It's very similar to the Star Wars Force Trainer, knocking about last year, although it adds a whole gaming element to the concept.
Basically, you have to control a ball with your mind, or, in actuality, a fan under the ball. The more you concentrate (with the sensors strapped to your head and earlobes), the faster the fan spins, sending the ball higher. The gaming side of things comes with an obstacle course which you must navigate, and definitely gives Mind Flex much more replay value.
At £80, it's also cheaper than the Force Trainer.
The world of kids' electronics and gadgetry is certainly getting some tasty hardware this year.
First up is the VTech Kidizoom Video Camera - essentially, a kiddie Flip. It records up to half-an-hour of 640 x 480 video, and comes in a chunky, easy to handle form (blue and pink versions are available).
The 1.8in TFT LCD full colour screen makes it very easy for the young'uns to see what they're shooting, and they can even edit the footage in the camera itself. It even allows them to add animations (hats, glasses, etc) to moving footage, with live facetracking. And there are three built-in games.
It costs £60, which is far less than we expected, and comes with 256MB of internal memory. There's an SD card slot for expansion.
Leapfrog has launched its Leapster Explorer Gaming Handheld on Amazon (and other stores), and we fully expect it to be very popular for 4 to 9-year-olds on the long build up to the holiday season.
It's a handheld console for kids that costs £59.99 and has a touchscreen display, which uses an easy-to-grip stylus. Games either slot in the back, or can be downloaded straight to the device's 300MB storage capacity via the USB connection and Leapfrog's own website. And, they all have a learn-while-you-play slant.
There are licensed titles such as Dora the Explorer and Toy Story 3, and, as of October, there'll be a click-on camera accessory that will enable the handheld to shoot video.
Huzzah for Leapfrog, it'll certainly keep the kids' mitts off your iPhone.
Finally, in this category, there's even an ebook reader for children. VTech, again, has created the Storio Animated E-Book Reader, which comes with Toy Story 3.
Similar to an adult Kindle, the main difference is that, while the Storio has a smaller screen, it is full colour and allows for animation. It also reads the stories out, and each cartridge can feature supplementary games for 3 to 7-year-olds.
There's also a sturdy see-through plastic cover, which can be closed once the story is under way, with only the forward and reverse buttons available. That'll keep smaller children from pressing everything in sight.
Back to older, if not adult, age ranges, and the Zibits Mini Radio Control Robot and Accessories is actually a longer sentence than each robot is tall.
The miniature droids are even smaller than the remote that controls them, and while they don't really do much (spin round and go forward), they are certainly cute and cheap enough, £9.99 each, to be desirable for kids and office workers alike.
There's also a healthy variety of different-looking Zibits, helping to elevate them into the collectable category, should that be your persuasion.
We've saved the best until last... If you're a dad, that is.
Lego has added a massive Cargo Train set to its Lego City range, which comes with tonnes of track and a varied collection of rolling stock. But the best news, for the David Beckhams out there, it all comes in tiny Lego pieces; you have to build the whole thing yourself.
Obviously, this may not be the best present for a little'un on Christmas Day - they won't be able to play with it until it's built, and it's bad enough having to apply stickers on other presents (why don't they ever do that before boxing them up?). But it could keep an older kid quiet for hours, if not days - a good thing, surely?
At £129.99, it's not cheap, but the amount of stuff crammed into the box, and the healthy, meaty size of the train and cars after its built, represent decent value for money.
Finally, the merchandising assault of Toy Story on the Christmas market will continue, long after the third movie has finished in cinemas, and this next relevant tie-in is, quite simply, a match made in Heaven.
Get this: Toy Story Scalextric. How good is that?
Admittedly, it's only Micro Scalextric (1:64 scale), but is ideal for those who just don't have the space for a full 70's style track.
It certainly works the same; race two cars around a track, trying desperately not to fling them off the corners, and the table, into the cat. However, this time, the cars are modelled on the RC buggy in the movies, and have Woody and Buzz stuck to the top. Result!
It comes in at around £50 and is actually available on Amazon now, if you want to get it and hide it in the cupboard.
Wouldn't have worked on us though. We're devils for peeking...

Our scorm packages, that currently work as expected in version 2.0.3, are no longer being displayed correctly in this version. In 2.0.3 we can simply select open scorm in new window, set the dimensions (970, 770), and the window opens to that size and frames our scorm package skin perfectly. In this version we can't find a way to displaye the window as previously described. Our window in 2.2.1 is being displayed with added deadspace (and what seems to be a frame) at the bottom (causing the navigation section to be hidden) and a vertical scrollbar to appear. our issue is very similar to the issues described in this thread: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=185138#p846477

thanks Keith - great bug report with specific information - I've increased priority of this and put it into my stable backlog.
Hi Keith,
I decided to take a quick look at this and have knocked together some improvements - that SCORM package helped a lot thanks.
The above patch makes 3 changes
Decreases the max width of the TOC (if configured to show) so that the content can't be lost (small change) - I noticed that the TOC could be stretched over the top of the content and with the improvements to the width/height it was almost lost a little bit.
Removed the 10px padding around the standard region-content when the "new window" option is being used.
Improved the height calculation - the space near the bottom of the page was trying to copensate for a span that used to sit above the player which I removed recently - so by removing the space at the top, it just shifted the content up and I forgot about adjusting the footer size.
I haven't pushed this through for integration yet as I have only tested this on a single browser (Ubuntu/FF 9) - when I get a bit more time I'll test this on a larger range of browsers and make sure I'm satisfied with the change before sending it up for integration.
It would be good if you could apply this patch and see if it meets your needs - let me know how you go and which browsers you manage to test it in.
Hi Dan,
I'm helping Kieth with the CSS for this same problem and it was driving me crazy!
Thanks for the patch I'll be checking it out later today.
Hi Dan,
I just pulled this into my github to test it, and was a little concerned you added the CSS for this patch, which will be great for CORE themes, but not for those themes, like Kieth's, that use a different naming system for their pagelayout.
However since pop-ups use layout/embedded.php which only has #page #content the CSS you have using #page-content .region-content will not work in CORE themes that use embedded.php.
Either way if this were to be integrated into Moodle you would be better adding that CSS to the end of theme/base/style/core.css.
I'm just about to test the "patch" now.
Hi Mary - I'd be surprised if the integrators let me squeeze in module specific code there! - can't see any module specific code in that file. If I get a +1 from an integrator I'm happy to put it in theme/base otherwise it will have to stay in mod/scorm/styles.css
also if it did go into theme/base - wouldn't it be better to go into theme/base/style/pagelayout.css ? - as it's overriding css defined there?
Just had a quick chat with Eloy about theme base stuff - neither of us are specialists on the current theme stuff but it seems strange to put module specific stuff in base - Eloy did see this:
but that must be a mistake or put there for some exceptional reason!
IMO - modules own css should be pretty minimal - provide structural improvements but if they aren't generic enough that's a bug with the specific module - and if custom themes want to exclude the module css then they will need to be responsible for structuring appropriate css to support the modules.
I think once we've tested this and I'm happy with it's performance on multiple browsers I'll push it into module.css - Mary if you want stuff to go into base theme you're welcome to discuss with HQ and create a new tracker issue to move css into base theme.
btw - does this improve the display/fix the issue described?
I was actually trying to draw your attention to the fact the pop-up uses a layout file called "embedded.php" which has minimal body content, just "page" and "content", both of which are ID selectors. The CSS you are proposing is irrelevant for this fix as #page-content .region-content do not exist in embedded.php! You would be better adding the following...
#page-mod-scorm-player.pagelayout-popup #content {padding: 0; margin: 0;}
With the above CSS the pop-up is better and has no padding in the page, but it has a 200px gap to the right of the SCORM content. I'll add a screen shot.
hmm - I was testing that in the "standard" theme and it did exist! - didn't have a 200px gap on the right either.
Which browser are you using? - are you including the mod/scorm/styles.css ?
that css I added was to counteract this bit of css from base/style/pagelayout.css:
#page-content .region-content
maybe standard theme is handling pop-ups quite differently from the other themes? - I might need to look further there.
Would it help if I sent you the testing server we're running this on so you could see it live? I could get you whatever access level you would require.
Sorry I didn't chime in earlier today; been out of office all day.
thanks to both of you for all the hard work and I'll try the patch and update accordingly.
After purging all caches...a million times! Cleared Moodledata cache manually.
Re set SCORM Admin settings to 100 x 100
Set SCORM Activity setting for pop-up to 1000 x 800 (with re-sizable window enabled)
gave me a perfect pop-up window and no need to resize see screenshot.
Brilliant! Thanks
Sorry I did not see your comments.
My mistake...with the embedded.php...Standard does use general.php and the CSS you added is correct in that respect..
However in this instance the embedded.php is set in Kieth's themes and works OK with the CSS I added.
So providing a theme uses a layout file (whatever it's name) with the correct Moodle pagelayout in it (which Kieth's theme doesn't for some reason that's why I pointed it to use embedded.php in base theme) the CSS is good.
The main thing in all of this the Patch works!
Had the custom theme used conventional Moodle layout then perhaps this would not have been so complicated!
So sorry about that.
great! - thanks Mary, can you let me know which browsers you have tested this with? - Screenshot looks like windows/FF
also just to confirm - adding this line to mod/scorm/styles.css is what you did to improve support for pop-ups - you didn't add this in base or somewhere else?
#page-mod-scorm-player.pagelayout-popup #content {padding: 0; margin: 0;}
I'll add you original PATCH and test this in a Moodle CORE theme Afterburner in IE9, FF, CHROME, OPERA
and get back to you later today.
Tested OK using Afterburner in with
Admin Scorm settings 100 x 100
Course Activity settings for Pop-up 1000px x 800px
IE7 (set in IE9 to IE7 using F12(Function Key) OK
FireFox OK
Chrome OK
Not perfect but works...
Opera (this had approx 150px gap right & bottom)
Hope this helps?
@Dan FYI
For what it's worth it actually works better in an embedded.php page! I just changed Afterburner/config.php under $THEME->layouts
// Pages that appear in pop-up windows - no navigation, no blocks, no header.
'popup' => array(
'file' => 'embedded.php',
'regions' => array(),
'options' => array('nofooter'=>true, 'nonavbar'=>true, 'nocustommenu'=>true, 'nologininfo'=>true),
great - thanks Mary,
and just to confirm it still needs that change you mentioned above to page-mod-scorm-player.pagelayout-popup #content
Hi Dan,
NO!!! because the fix you are applying here, which will be for ALL core themes, is SPOT ON.
However, should the day come when the Moodle developers decide that pop-ups need the embedded.php instead of general.php for ALL themes, then the CSS I suggested would be needed.
However, it's just that in Kieth's theme, because general.php was not conventional Moodle pagelayout, I switched the pop-up to use base themes embedded.php, that's why I needed to change the CSS.
Anyway...this is good to go so if you hurry you might get it integrated today!!!
NOTE TO INTEGRATOR: this is for 22Stable and master only - not 21Stable. - thanks to Mary/Keith for help with testing.
The main moodle.git repository has just been updated with latest weekly modifications. You may wish to rebase your PULL branches to simplify history and avoid any possible merge conflicts. This would also make integrator's life easier next week.
TIA and ciao
I tested this on FF,IE and chrome. on 22 everything appeared perfectly fine. However on master there was some empty space on the right side. I have attached screen shots of both cases.
Dan an you please confirm should this be considered as a pass or fail?
Although when loading the package I got an error "SCORM API NOT FOUND do you want to continue?", But I don't think that is anything to do with this fix.
I'd pass it and create a new bug to fix the space in master - I hadn't noticed it in my testing but there's obviously something extra we need there to improve it further in master - you're right that SCORM package isn't valid.
Thanks Dan.
I have created an issue and linked here.
Passing this test.
Some changes to Moodle should be milestones in the project by themselves.
This is not the case and your fix is not so important, but your collaboration is highly appreciated, thanks!
Closing as fixed, ciao

: I am installing a new toilet. When removing the old, I discovered: the old flange was damaged, and part of a 4" lead pipe about 16" long connecting to 4" cast iron. All new flanges seem to be ABS. How can I connect a new ABS flange to either the 4" lead (1/8 thick, 4" id, 4 1/4" OD) or cast iron piper? All the rubber connectors seem to be either 1/2" to large or to small for the 4 1/4" (actual) existing pipe. I do find that ABS flanges are availabe whihc are a snug, but not tight fit to the inside of the existing lead pipe. But don't find any way to make a perment seal. Any advise appreciated.

ODI 12c - Parallel Table Load
By David Allan-Oracle on Nov 11, 2013
A new property is available to set unique name generation on/off. When unique names have been enabled for a mapping, all temporary names used by the collection and integration objects will be generated using unique names. This property is presented as a check-box in the Property Inspector for a deployment specification.
If an execution failed in ODI 11g then temporary tables would have been left around and cleaned up in the subsequent run. In ODI 12c, KM tasks can now have a cleanup-type task which is executed even after a failure in the main tasks. These cleanup tasks will be executed even on failure if the property 'Remove Temporary Objects on Error' is set.
If the agent was to crash and not be able to execute this task, then there is an ODI tool (OdiRemoveTemporaryObjects here) you can invoke to cleanup the tables - it supports date ranges and the like.
That's all there is to it from the aspect of the mapping developer it's much, much simpler and straightforward. You can now execute the same mapping concurrently or execute many mappings using the same resource concurrently without worrying about conflict.
2. Secondly as a Procedure or KM Developer.....
In the ODI Operator the executed code shows the actual name that is generated - you can also see the runtime code prior to execution (introduced in 18.104.22.168), for example below in the code type I selected 'Pre-executed Code' this lets you see the code about to be processed and you can also see the executed code (which is the default view).
References to the collection (C$) and integration (I$) names will be automatically made unique by using the odiRef APIs - these objects will have unique names whenever concurrency has been enabled for a particular mapping deployment specification. It's also possible to use name uniqueness functions in procedures and your own KMs.
2.1 New uniqueness tags
You can also make your own temporary objects have unique names by explicitly including either %UNIQUE_STEP_TAG or %UNIQUE_SESSION_TAG in the name passed to calls to the odiRef APIs. Such names would always include the unique tag regardless of the concurrency setting.
- <?=odiRef.getObjectName("L", "%COL_PRFEMP%UNIQUE_STEP_TAG", "D")?>
- <?=odiRef.getObjectName("L", "EMP%UNIQUE_STEP_TAG_AE", "D")?>
- UNIQUE_STEP_TAG - Returns the unique value for the current step scope, e.g. 5rvmd8hOIy7OU2o1FhsF61 Note that this will be a different value for each loop-iteration when the step is in a loop.
- UNIQUE_SESSION_TAG - Returns the unique value for the current session scope, e.g. 6N38vXLrgjwUwT5MseHHY9
- IS_CONCURRENT - Returns info about the current mapping, will return 0 or 1 (only in % phase)
- GUID_SRC_SET - Returns the UUID for the current source set/execution unit (only in % phase)
2.2 Additional APIs
- <%=odiRef.getFormattedName("%COL_PRFMY_TABLE%UNIQUE_STEP_TAG_AE", "ORACLE")%>
- <?=odiRef.getFormattedName("%COL_PRFMY_TABLE%UNIQUE_STEP_TAG_AE", "ORACLE")?>
- C$_MY_TAB7wDiBe80vBog1auacS1xB_AE
- <?=odiRef.getFormattedName("%COL_PRFMY_TABLE%UNIQUE_STEP_TAG.log", "FILE")?>
- C2_MY_TAB7wDiBe80vBog1auacS1xB.log
2.3 Name length generation
As part of name generation, the length of the generated name will be compared with the maximum length for the target technology and truncation may need to be applied. When a unique tag is included in the generated string it is important that uniqueness is not compromised by truncation of the unique tag. When a unique tag is NOT part of the generated name, the name will be truncated by removing characters from the end - this is the existing 11g algorithm. When a unique tag is included, the algorithm will first truncate the <postfix> and if necessary the <prefix>. It is recommended that users will ensure there is sufficient uniqueness in the <prefix> section to ensure uniqueness of the final resultant name.
To summarize, ODI 12c make it much simpler to utilize mappings in concurrent cases and provides APIs for helping developing any procedures or custom knowledge modules in such a way they can be used in highly concurrent, parallel scenarios.

Sept. 17, 2013
WEST HAVEN, CONN. – For the third year in a row, the University of New Haven has been ranked by G.I Jobs magazine in the top 20 percent of more than 12,000 colleges and universities that recruit military personnel.
"Inclusion on the 2014 list of Military Friendly Schools shows UNH's commitment to providing a supportive environment for military students," said Sean Collins, director of G.I. Jobs. "As interest in education grows, we're thrilled to provide the military community with transparent, world-class resources to assist in their search for schools," said Collins.
The colleges and universities on this year's list exhibit leading practices in the recruitment and retention of students with military experience, according to G.I. Jobs magazine. The schools have world-class programs and policies for student support on campus, academic accreditation, credit policies, flexibility and other services to those who served, according to Collins.
"UNH should take great pride in this honor. The competition for our 2013 Military Friendly Schools list was fierce and as a result, we raised the already stringent criteria to a higher benchmark," he said. "The University of New Haven is among the elite."
UNH has displayed a strong commitment for the growing population of military students on campus, said Joseph Frederick, coordinator of veteran student outreach. Programs have been launched to help veteran students connect with one another, excel in the classroom and ensure that they have access to necessary support services and resources.
"There is a dedicated staff on campus to provide support for students," Frederick said. "We are delighted that our efforts have been recognized."
The UNH staff provides support for students from the admission process through graduation. The Veteran Ambassador Program, a new program launched this fall, , provides new students with a peer mentor to assist with the transition to college life. The Military Veterans of UNH student club is a member of the national Student Veterans Association and has continued to grow in recent years.The Veteran Success Center in Maxcy Hall also provides a dedicated lounge area with two computers and space for students to do homework or relax in-between classes
The University of New Haven is a private, top-tier comprehensive institution recognized as a national leader in experiential education. Founded in 1920 on the campus of Yale University in cooperation with Northeastern University, UNH moved to its current West Haven campus in 1960. The University operates a satellite campus in Tuscany, Italy, and offers programs at several locations throughout Connecticut and in New Mexico and California. UNH provides its students with a unique combination of a solid liberal arts education and real-world, hands-on career and research opportunities. The University enrolls approximately 6,400 students, including nearly 1,800 graduate students and more than 4,600 undergraduates – the majority of whom reside in University housing. Through its College of Arts and Sciences, College of Business, Henry C. Lee College of Criminal Justice and Forensic Sciences, Tagliatela College of Engineering, and College of Lifelong & eLearning, UNH offers 75 undergraduate and graduate degree programs. UNH students have access to more than 50 study abroad programs worldwide and its student-athletes compete in 16 varsity sports in the NCAA Division II's highly competitive Northeast-10 Conference.

Norma;With a whole-wheat flour, or multi-grain blend, it is all but impossible to achieve full hydration unless some form of a soaker is employed. In this case the soaker is water, whole-wheat flour and salt. It is set aside and allowed to hydrate for roughly 12-hours. I normally allow 1 to 2-hours or overnight in the cooler, to hydrate the whole-wheat flour. Failure to use a soaker can, and usually does result in a dry, stiff dough that doesn't expand well during baking (lacks ovenspring) and has a dense, heavy crumb structure.Tom Lehmann/The Dough Doctor
Norma,Whole wheat is loaded with enzymes. A room-temperature, salted soaker allows extra time for the amylase enzymes to convert damaged starch to sugar, while controlling the protease. I think its more worthwhile with spring wheat, which has more damaged starch than winter wheat. Bran is also softened. In the case of a long sourdough fermentation, the soaker doesnt add much, but its hardly any extra effort.I use a Retsel Mil-Rite for milling.cb

|In response to Re: Gas water heater pilot keeps going out?
1. your ac vent is blowing air at or near the pilot light. AC generaly blows harder than heat.
try reversing the vents nearest the heater.
2. your ac is sucking in excess outside air and some of it is being blown out the water heater vent. passing and blowing out the pilot in the process. (this one is admitidly a stretch)
3. Your ac is leaking aiir into the attic or elsewhere and makeup air is being sucked back into the house thru the water heater vent. With ocasional help from stray breezes this is enough to blow out the pilot. This does happen sometimes. and they do make some gadgets to mount on the AC system for make up air.

its good the story is moving again, but what's happening with the fight between Renji, Ishida against octava espada zaelapollo grantz.
I have a feeling that Noitora is one of the top three Espada. Not number one, but two or three. He seemed to have a runner up complex when fighting Chad. He talked about trying to prove that he is the strongest. It may be a stretch, but it's my theory. Hopefully we'll find out soon, and hopefully there won't be another ten chapter fight.
damn grimmjow can't die man.. his too cool to be killed by some ugly shit..
ummm....this sounds n00bish to me, but did like..Grimmjaw just get cut up by Noitora or like.. did he lose his head, I couldn't tell if Noitora meant "You can just...DIE!!" to either Ichigo or Grimmjaw
i would really like to see ichigo fight again and surpass his limits once again...and maybe..only maybe..he will be able to show us some new technique since its already been so long since he had getsuga tenshou..and all he had is that attack up until now^^ about noitora..he's really something..though i don't like him since he attacked grimmy when grimmy's in a weak state^^
i think ulquiorra will now appear since its been a while that he's been held in grimmy's dimension..then..he will stop noitora and beat grimmy and ichi up^^ then, ichigo will again surpass his limits..and his hollow soul will appear to remind of him "instinct"..then..he will show us a new move...or maybe just a glimpse of it...
More fighting. Bleach truly have lost its touch.
erm my predict is:
noitora is gonna to own ichigo in 287.
chapter 288:
grimjow will wake him up n ask inoune to heal him as he dunwan ichigo to die as ichigo is grimjow's prey. Of cos inoune will heal him as ichigo going to die
chapter 289 till dunno when:
grimjow will stood up n hold bac noitora. either inoune will heal ichigo n both (in perfect condition) own noitora, or grimjow n ichigo (despite ichigo's condition) both ganged up n beat noitora.
Note: ulquiorra nt bac yet
this is juz my prediction plz leave comments on my post thnx a lot ><

Thanks to all you nice readers who've asked me about my fabulous pound cake recipe.
It's only "mine" because it's in my possession. Actually, I seem to recall it's the recipe my railroading father used when he made pound cake.
I think I clipped it out of a McComb newspaper cooking edition produced by my mother as its family page editor.
As I mentioned recently, I baked it during Christmas and realized how wonderful it is. Then it was my pleasure to make one for a very kind man who helped me with a roof leak.
I also posted it on Facebook and got some comments including from one good McComb cook, who said she also bakes that recipe.
Obviously, it comes highly recommended, and so I'm offering it to you to spread the joy.
• Sour Cream Pound Cake
(This takes 2 bowls, in addition to your mixer bowl.)
With your electric mixer, cream 2 sticks softened oleo, slowly add 3 cups sugar.
Then add 6 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in 1 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla (you can add lemon extract also if you like), dash of salt. Mix until light and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, measure 3 cups all purpose flour, add 1/4 teaspoon soda. Sift and twice resift. (This is where the second bowl comes in – I measure and sift into one bowl, then "move" the dry mixture through the sifter into the other bowl.)
Into your mixer mixture, add dry ingredients 1/2 cup at time, beating constantly.
Pour into well-greased and floured (love the spray-can kind) 10" tube pan. Bake 75 minutes in 325 oven.
Remove from oven, let cool 30 minutes before trying to take it out of pan.
I take a large plate, put it on top of the cake pan then flip the pan so the plate is on the bottom. Then, I lift the pan from the cooling cake and put the cake right-side up on a wire rack until it's completely cool.
(Recipe says it will freeze well, but I can't imagine it lasting that long. If you do, though, wrap in several layers plastic wrap, then a final layer of aluminum foil.)
And now, for something completely different.
My confession: I refused to watch Oprah and Lance Armstrong last week.
Oh, sure, some of you missed her two nights of interviews with perhaps one of the greatest hoaxsters of the 21st century, but it is still a very young century. Granted, not everybody follows Oprah's OWN network, the phrase being redundant like PIN number.
My long life has brought me into fairly frequent contact with liars, especially sociopaths and narcissists, and frankly, I try to avoid them unless it's for work purposes.
Lyin' Lance appears to be both of those "flawed" character types – somebody who believes himself the center of all universes and cares not one whit for its rules.
Now they tell me some idiot plans a Lance Armstrong movie. Oprah's OWN lineup is so weak that perhaps she'll seek to broadcast its premiere, which I too will not watch.
I'm not so rigid about Katie Couric's interview today with poor Notre Dame footballer Manti T'eo, who somehow fell in love with a non-existent woman.
I think I'll just stick with the pound cake and not worry about these disturbed men.

About the Data
Where do the data come from?
Most of the data in this report come from hospital claim records. Utah hospitals are required by law to submit a standard set of information about each patient who spends at least one night in the hospital to the Office of Health Care Statistics, Utah Department of Health, for the Utah Hospital Discharge Database. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), a federal agency charged with overseeing quality of care, provided national information. For further information, visit the AHRQ Website.
Have the data been verified by others?
Yes. Utah hospitals review the data for accuracy during a review period of at least 30 days while the report is being developed. They also review the completed report before it is released. Hospitals may submit comments to be posted online as part of the report.
Why use these indicators/measures?
SB 132 mandates that the comparison reports use nationally recognized quality standards. A federal agency charged with overseeing health care quality, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), developed the Inpatient Quality Indicators (IQIs). The IQIs allow comparison among Utah hospitals and similar patients nationwide. This report shows one IQI for pneumonia in-hospital deaths. For more information on the AHRQ IQIs, visit http://www.qualityindicators.ahrq.gov/iqi_overview.htm.
The measure for average charge is an All Patient Refined Diagnosis Related Group (APR-DRG) for similar, though not identical, pneumonia conditions. For this reason, the numbers of patients for APR-DRGs and similar IQIs are often not the same. Also, keep in mind that for pneumonia death rates, three years of data are used, while a single year is used for charge. For more information on APR-DRGs, visit http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/3M_Health_Information_Systems/HIS/Products/APRDRG_Software/
What are the limitations of quality comparisons in the report?
Many factors affect a hospital's performance on quality measures. Such factors include the hospital's size, the number of pneumonia cases, available specialists, teaching status and especially the medical history of the hospital's patients and how ill those patients are. Hospitals that treat high-risk (very ill) patients may have higher percentages of deaths than hospitals that transfer these patients. Hospitals that treat patients with do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders or terminally ill patients receiving palliative care (comfort care) may have higher percentages of deaths. Hospitals may report patient diagnosis codes differently, which could impact the comparison of quality measurement among hospitals. The quality indicators adjust for how ill each hospital's patients are, but the adjustment may not capture the full complexity of the patient's condition. The Utah Hospital Discharge Database includes up to nine diagnoses and up to six procedures for each patient. Some patients have additional diagnoses and procedures that are not included in this database. As a result, the measures of patient illness may not be complete. See Glossary and Technical Document for more about pneumonia indicators.
What are the limitations of the charge comparisons in the report?
The average charge shown in this report differs from "costs," "reimbursement," "price" and "payment." Different payers have different arrangements with each hospital for payment. Many factors will affect the cost of your hospital stay, including whether you have health insurance, the type of insurance and the billing procedures at the hospital. This report excludes outlier (unusually high) charge cases and length of stay cases from the calculation of average charge (see Glossary). While APR-DRGs do consider levels for each patient's severity of illness, these levels may not completely reflect the complexity of the patient's condition. The indicators used in this report do not distinguish between patients expected to recover and patients with do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders or patients receiving palliative care (comfort care).

Western Australian art from the early days to modern times
When settlers started arriving in Western Australia nearly two centuries ago, they were mesmerised by the light, heat, long horizons and vast expanses. By the twentieth century, art societies had formed and local traditions had developed. The exhibition Out of the west presents a starting point for visitors to the National Gallery of Australia to explore the art made from these responses to Western Australia, through a diverse range of media, including painting, sculpture, watercolour, drawing, printmaking, photography, video installation, jewellery, furniture, decorative arts and design.

This month we introduce you to our Paper Conservator Rose Peel, who has been busily preparing the Fred Williams gouaches for display in the forthcoming retrospective. Rose has kindly taken the time to share some of the important things that Paper Conservators do. She has also offered a wonderful glimpse into the type of materials Williams used, as well as how he used them and why the colours in these gouaches still look so fresh and vibrant!
What are some of the approaches, treatments or other factors you consider when preparing works for display in an exhibition?
Conservators consider the artist's intent. If the paper has discoloured for instance because of oxidation (light damage) and that has effected the visual balance of the image do we clean the work to not only remove the soluble acids but assist the relationship between colour and paper to the idea first expressed by the artist.
A particular treatment may be discussed with the curator, with colleagues ― in-house and possibly nationally and internationally. Bound by professional ethics, conservators are not creative when appraising and treating an artist's work. Conservators work within the constraints of the problem to ensure the work is stabilised chemically and physically to present the work as close as possible to its original condition.
All works on paper are thoroughly documented before treatment is undertaken. They are photographed, condition reported and analysed within the constraints of the equipment and expertise available – given the preparatory time frame.
Can you tell us a bit about the materials Williams used in his gouaches?
Fred Williams was skilled in his application of gouache (a thick opaque watercolour). The majority of gouache paintings, prepared for this exhibition, are painted on French Arches and heavy T H Saunders wove papers. They are strong cotton based papers that can withstand a vigorous artist.
The two deckle edges indicate the paper sheet was made on a cylinder mould machine but has features that imitate handmade paper. Because the T H Saunders paper was internally and surface sized with gelatine it was strong enough to withstand masking tape being pulled from its surface and wouldn't easily abrade when drawing mediums such as graphite and charcoal were erased.
Williams often applied a wash of colour to the paper first and then the detail gouache was applied to the surface straight from the tube or mixed on the sheet with a brush, dabbed and swirled to suggest a tree, rock, figure, flame. The charred landscape in After the fire 1968 may include charcoal found in the landscape, which was mixed into the paint brining the observed subject to the two dimensional surface.
Fred Williams After the fire 1971 gouache, clay and charcoal on paper National Gallery of Australia, Canberra Purchased from Gallery admission charges 1983 © Estate of Fred Williams
Because of the thickness of the gouache and different materials used by Williams some heavy impasto areas in his paintings have cracked and flaked resulting in some losses. These damaged areas have been consolidated to prevent further loss and will be carefully monitored, but the spirit of the work has not been lost.
Williams' invoices record that he purchased substantial quantities of Winsor and Newton Permanent White and Ivory Black designer gouaches that he used with the yellow and brown ochres, cadmium red, cobalt blue and Prussian blue. The thickness of the impasto provides a richness of colour. The more pigment that is applied to the surface the more likely the colour will be retained if protected from the light and if the work is safely stored and displayed.

Anne O'Hehir has worked in the Photography department at the National Gallery for ten years. Her most recent project is Constructed worlds, a new display focussed on Australian and international photography of the 1980s.
What has been your most satisfying moment as a curator?
I always find talking to school groups satisfying: especially when, after describing a photographic process in great detail, like cibachrome for example, someone pipes up and asks "what's cibachrome?" No really, speaking to people – young or old – and sparking their interest in art and getting them excited about photography is what inspires me most in this job.
If you could curate a solo show of any artist who would it be?
Francesca Woodman. Her extraordinary images manage a kind of lyrical beauty, but with a chilling undertone you can't quite place. They are all the more poignant when you realise she died at 22 after throwing herself from a window. Google her.
If you were a work of art in the collection what would you be?
I would like to say the Brancusi birds, but I'm afraid I am more like a Diane Arbus photograph.
What is your favourite work not on display?
It would have to be Diane Arbus' Patriotic young man with flag, N.Y.C. I can clearly remember the first time I saw the photograph hanging in the Gallery only recently after it opened in 1982. It blew me away. I couldn't believe that someone had let themselves be photographed like that. I think it might be the reason I became a photography curator.
What is the smelliest/ oldest/ most fragile work you have encountered?
ühn. They are made of glass and so fragile it creeps me out to handle them! I've stuck fragile stickers all over the box they are kept in to remind me to be careful.
