XML Storage in DB2: To inline or not to inline?
July 11, 2012
First, let's revisit the concept of inlined XML storage and then discuss the pros and cons of inlining.
What is XML Inlining?
In short, inlining is an optional storage optimization in DB2 for "small" XML documents.
When you define a table with an XML column in DB2, such as CREATE TABLE mytable(id INTEGER, ….. , doc XML), the DB2 server creates three storage objects in the table space:
- A data object (DAT), which holds the relational rows of the table
- An index object (INX), which stores any indexes for the table
- An XML storage object (XDA), which is the XML Storage Area and holds any XML documents
Optionally, you can assign these three objects to different table spaces but by default they all go into the same table space.
As illustrated in the following picture, the XML column in the data object doesn't contain the actual XML document, but only references (descriptors) of where the documents can be found. The XML document trees are stored in the XDA object, and if a tree is larger than a single page then it is automatically cut into multiple regions. This way, large documents can span many pages, and that's completely transparent to your application.
The region index -automatically defined and maintained by DB2- essentially remembers which regions belong to the same XML document for any given row in the data object. The regions index also enables very efficient access to any portion of an XML document. If only some part of a large document is required, e.g. to answer a query, DB2 does not necessarily need to bring all pages of the document into the buffer pool.
The XML documents that are small enough to fit onto a single page just have a single region, and multiple regions can be stored on the same page, if space is available.
As it turns out, there are very many applications that deal with small XML documents, often just 1KB to 20KB for most documents. The access to such small documents can be optimized by storing there document trees right in the DAT object, together with the rows that they belong to. This is called inlined XML storage and is illustrated in the following picture.
To enable inlining, define the XML column with an INLINE LENGTH that indicates that maximum size up to which you want documents to be inlined. For example:
CREATE TABLE mytable(id INTEGER, ….. , doc XML INLINE LENGTH 30000)
In this example, any XML documents whose parsed hierarchical representation is less than 30000 bytes will be inlined. Any documents that are larger than this are automatically stored in the XDA object as usual. The application sees no difference.
The specified INLINE LENGTH must be smaller than the page size of the DB2 table space minus the length of any other columns in the table.
Inlined documents are stored in the same tree format as documents that are not inlined. Just in a different location.
The Pros and Cons of Inlining
Performance measurements and plenty of experience with real XML applications have shown that inlining is almost always recommended, if a large percentage of your XML documents (for example, more than 70%) can be inlined. The benefits of inlining include the following:
- Faster access to inlined documents – no redirection via the regions index
- The regions index has no entries for inlined documents. If a large percentage of your documents are inlined then this reduces the space and maintenance cost associated with the regions index.
- Better prefetching since inlined XML documents are prefetched as part of the row they belong to.
A key characteristic of inlining is that it drastically increases the row size on the data pages, and hence reduces the number of rows per data page. This can negatively impact the performance of queries that read only relational columns and do not access the XML column. For example, consider the following table and query:
CREATE TABLE myxml(c1 INT, c2 INT, c3 INT, doc XML INLINE LENGTH 30000);
SELECT SUM(c1 + c2 + c3)
FROM myxml;
This query reads the 3 integer columns from *all* rows in the table. Due to the inlined XML column, these rows are spread over a much larger number of pages than without inlining, so this query needs to fetch a lot more pages than without inlining. If you have many such queries, then inlining might not be the best choice for you.
How do I know whether a given document is inlined?
The DB2 function ADMIN_IS_INLINED can be applied to an XML column and it returns 1 if a document is inlined, and zero otherwise. This enables you to determine which and how many documents are inlined.
The DB2 function ADMIN_EST_INLINE_LENGTH can also be applied to an XML document in an XML column and returns the smallest required inline length for this document to be inlined, or -1 if the document is too large to be inlined.

I don't have a stall, I only have ETSY on the go but I have had them graded up in size too & for once I have a lot of that denim…so just let me know if you ever want to see them, I've made them in Black stiff cotton before too & shorter worn with long boots they really have that kind of dark Helmut Lang, Demeulemeester look to them.

This Holiday Season, we've decided to turn our small collection of incriminating social media screenshots into an entertaining, yet educational infographic. We manage our own social media, as well as a few of our clients' accounts, and with all that time spent on social networks, it's inevitable to come across things we wish we could "unsee."
Unfortunately, many businesses and brands, both large and small, are still missing the point of social media, which is connecting with your fans and lifting the corporate veil. Besides major no-no's, such as broadcasting sales pitches or on-again off-again account activity, many companies forget about simple things, such as being helpful and nice to their fans and followers.

The move is the move. I don't like moving, and I would love to think that this move will be my last, but am just too realistic to imagine this will prove to be true.
What does it say about me that I will jettison many many years' accumulation of stuff but hold onto 60+ boxes of books (post-winnowing count)? And that I am moving back to a house where I have a few thousand MORE books?
Like I don't know the answer to THAT one....

I've amazonned it already, and since I was there, oh what the hell...ordered 7 other books.

Longfin Blue Danio
Longfin Blue Zebra DanioFamily: Cyprinidae Danio rerioPhoto © Animal-World: Courtesy David Brough
The Longfin Blue Danio is a delightful fish colored in stippled silvery blue with long flowing fins!
The Longfin Blue Danio is a wonderful color variation of the well-known Zebra Danio Danio rerio. It is earning popularity in its own right with its subtle but gorgeous silvery blue stippling and delicately flowing long fins. Another common name it is known by is the Longfin Blue Zebra Danio. This graceful fish was probably developed from the Leopard Danio variety of the Zebrafish as it sports the spotted patterning that popular mutation is known for.
This small beauty will reach only about 1 1/2 inches (4 cm) in length but should not be confused with another similar danio species, the Blue Danio or Kerr's Danio Danio kerri. Thought they both have a blue coloring, they are quite distinctive from each other. The Danio kerri is slightly larger at just under 2 inches (5 cm) and lacks the long fins. It also has a powdery blue color on its flanks contrasted with one or more strong pinkish gold horizontal stripes running from the tail to about half way onto the body. The stripes can be broken but overall it lacks the spotted effect of the Longfin Blue Zebra Danio.
This charming little Cyprinid fish is ideal fish for the beginner and is enjoyed by advanced aquarists as well. Like its progenitors it is very lively, hardy, and a prolific breeder. It is pretty typical of the danio group, friendly enough but definitely active and fast moving. This is a schooling fish and should be kept in a small group of at least five individuals, though ten or more makes them happier and creates a lively display. Although it may bicker and chase others of their same species, without the company these fish it will be miserable and ultimately die.
A school of these small lively fish are well suited to a smaller aquarium, 10 gallons is the minimum but 20 gallons is optimal. They can be housed with most any community fish just make sure that the danio will not be eaten, and that the other fish aren't startled by swift movement. Like all the Zebra Danio varieties they can withstand an impressive range of water temperatures and conditions, and will generally do just fine without a water heater. They can be comfortable in temperatures down to the low sixties (F), but although they are not finicky about water conditions, it's best to not keep your aquarium at any extreme.
For a very attractive effect in your aquarium try a mixed school by combining the pretty Longfin Blue Zebra Danio with some regular Zebrafish. A mix like this will provide a nice contrast of swift moving, darting color. Mixing even more varieties like the Albino Zebra Danio, Golden Zebra Danio, and Leopard Danio works equally well and creates a really exciting display. Don't be surprised if the school spends a lot of time in the water flow of the filters or pumps as this is reminiscent of the swift moving waters found in their natural environment.

Habitat: Distribution / Background
The Zebra Danio Danio rerio (previously Brachydanio rerio) was described by Hamilton in 1822. They are found in Asia from Pakistan to India and as far as Myanmar.
The Longfin Blue Danio is a man made cultivar but its ancestry can be traced to the Zebra Danio, probably developed from the Leopard Danio mutation. Many are produced for the aquarium industry. Another common name it is known by is the Longfin Blue Zebra Danio. There are no wild populations of these color morphs.
In nature the Zebrafish show a preference to the lower reaches of streams, canals, ditches, and ponds. However their habitat does vary depending on the time of year. During the wet season they are found in large numbers in seasonal pools and rice paddies where they feed and spawn, then the adults migrate back to the faster moving waters followed by the young when they reach maturity. The substrate of the clear freshwater streams is normally rocky and shaded, while the still waters are silty with dense vegetation. In the wild these fish are considered micropredators and feed on worms, small aquatic crustaceans, insects and insect larvae.
- Scientific Name: Danio rerio
- Social Grouping: Groups
- IUCN Red List: LC - Least Concern - There are no wild populations of this color morph.
The Longfin Blue Danio has a slender compressed body and there is a barbel at the end of each lip. These are small fish reaching lengths of only up to about 1 1/2 inches (4 cm) in the aquarium. Their progenitors, the Zebrafish, are thought to be primarily an annual species in the wild. But captive bred varieties can have a lifespan of 3 to 4 years, and some have lived up to 5 1/2 years with proper care.
This is a color morph of the Zebra Danio with a stippled silvery blue pattern. There are no other varieties of this fish but it was probably developed from the Leopard Danio as it has the spotted patterning of that Zebrafish mutation.
This fish should not be confused with the Blue Danio or Kerr's Danio Danio kerri, which is an entirely different species. The Blue Danio has powdery blue flanks with one or more strong pinkish gold horizontal stripes running from the tail to the fins, and its stripes can be broken but without the stippling of the Longfin Blue Zebra Danio. It is also a bit larger, reaching almost 2 inches (5 cm), and without the long fins.
- Size of fish - inches: 1.6 inches (3.99 cm)
- Lifespan: 4 years - They have an average lifespan of about 3 1/2 years, though some have lived up to 5 1/2 years with proper care.
The Longfin Blue Danio is a great choice for beginners and are great companions in a community aquarium. They adapt very well to different tank set ups and can handle minor tank condition fluctuations without issue. They are usually very easy to feed and get along with most tank mates. These are long finned fish so keep an eye on their long delicate fins.
- Aquarium Hardiness: Very Hardy
- Aquarist Experience Level: Beginner
Since they are omnivorous, these fish will eat most any prepared or live aquarium fare, though the food does need to float at the surface. A balanced diet for them would include flake or pelleted foods, plant based food, and occasional live prey. As with all danios, these fish are quite active and have high nutrient requirements, so select a flake food that will provide for their needs. These fish will do best when offered food several times a day, but offer what they can eat in 3 minutes or less at each feeding. If you feed only once per day, provide what they can eat in about 5 minutes.
- Diet Type: Omnivore
- Flake Food: Yes
- Tablet Pellet: Yes
- Live foods (fishes, shrimps, worms): Some of Diet
- Vegetable Food: Some of Diet
- Meaty Food: Some of Diet
- Feeding Frequency: Several feedings per day - Offer only what they can consume in 3 minutes or less with multiple feedings per day.
These fish are not exceptionally difficult to care for and mostly just need their water to be kept clean. At least 25 - 50% of the tank water should be replaced once a month. If the tank is densely stocked 20 - 25% should be replaced weekly or every other week. Aquariums are closed systems and regardless of size all need some maintenance. Over time decomposing organic matter, nitrates, and phosphate build up and the water hardness increases due to evaporation. Be mindful during maintenance that these fish will jump, so keep a close eye on them.
- Water Changes: Monthly - It the tank is densely stocked the water changes should be done every other week.
The Longfin Blue Danio is fairly hardy and will adapt to most aquarium conditions. It is a schooling species that will spend most time in the top and middle regions, particularly if there is open water or water current. Though a school of danios can be kept in a smaller aquarium, they will do best in about a 20 gallon size. Provide good filtration and the tank should be covered to prevent jumps.
These fish are most effectively displayed in tanks with subdued lighting and a dark colored fine gravel or sand substrate. They like a well planted aquariums and a variety of plants will make them feel safe. Dense tall plantings around the sides and back are great, but these fish prefer open water in the middle of the tank for swimming.
- Minimum Tank Size: 10 gal (38 L) - Though a school of danios can be kept in a smaller aquarium, they will do best in about a 20 gallon size.
- Suitable for Nano Tank: Yes
- Substrate Type: Any
- Lighting Needs: Moderate - normal lighting
- Temperature: 64.0 to 75.0° F (17.8 to 23.9° C)
- Range ph: 6.0-8.0
- Hardness Range: 2 - 20 dGH
- Brackish: No
- Water Movement: Moderate
- Water Region: All - They will spend most of the time in the top and middle regions of the aquarium, particularly if there is open water or some current.
The lively Longfin Blue Danio makes a good community fish. It will get along with its own kind and most other species. These danios really need to be kept in a group to feel comfortable. They are best kept in a school of 5 or more of their own kind. Groups of this fish can be hierarchal and a pecking order may emerge in the school, but nothing will come of it.
Select other tank mates with a similar in temperament that can keep up with the fast paced lifestyle of this fish. Danios have been known at times to harass other fish and tankmates that need a calmer environment can become stressed. Don't keep them with fish that can eat them or fish that demand a peaceful aquarium. Also their long flowing fins are a temptation too great for any fin nipper to resist, so pick other tank mates carefully.
- Temperament: Peaceful - They are good community fish with other fish that are also fast moving.
- Compatible with:
- Same species - conspecifics: Yes - They are best kept in groups of 5 or more.
- Peaceful fish (): Safe - These are a very lively fish so pick tankmates that will not be bothered by it.
- Semi-Aggressive (): Threat
- Aggressive (): Threat
- Large Semi-Aggressive (): Threat
- Large Aggressive, Predatory (): Threat
- Slow Swimmers & Eaters (): Safe
- Shrimps, Crabs, Snails: Safe - not aggressive
- Plants: Safe
Males are slightly thinner and smaller.
Breeding the Longfin Blue Danio is very easy, and may even occur on accident. Two fish will form a breeding pair which they often keep for life. If you wish to retain the young, the breeding tank should be empty except for a two inch layer of large glass marbles, 1/2 to 1 inch in diameter. Add the female to the tank and let her settle for about a day before adding the male. When they are both in the tank, adding a few cups of cold water will cause the courtship to begin.
If conditions are favorable, the female will release her eggs in open water and the male will fertilize. The eggs will then sink to the bottom and fall through the marbles, out of their parents reach. The fry will emerge from the marbles after about 7 days. At that time or before, parents should either be removed or kept constantly well fed. See the description of breeding techniques in: Breeding Freshwater Fish: Barbs. Also see Fish Food for Fry for information about types of foods for raising the young.
- Ease of Breeding: Easy
Longfin Blue Danios are extremely hardy and disease is not usually a problem in a well maintained aquarium. However the finnage of this variety can be extra sensitive to fin rot and other diseases affecting that region. Fins may also be damaged during the normal activity of this fish. If large tears are noticed it may be wise to add a fin repair medication. With any additions to a tank such as new fish, plants, substrates, and decorations there is a risk of introducing disease. It's advisable to properly clean or quarantine anything that you want add to an established tank prior to introduction, so as not to upset the balance.
These fish are very resilient but knowing the signs of illness, and catching and treating them early makes a huge difference. An outbreak of disease can often be limited to just one or a few fishes if you deal with it at an early stage. The best way to proactively prevent disease is to give your fish the proper environment and a well balanced diet. The closer to their natural habitat the less stress the fish will have, making them healthier and happy. A stressed fish will is more likely to acquire disease. For information about freshwater fish diseases and illnesses, see Aquarium Fish Diseases and Treatments.
The Longfin Blue Danio is readily available and inexpensive. They can be found in pet stores, on the internet, and through mail order.

Top-rated PHS wins 58-13
Powell High School's wrestling team, ranked No. 1 in Class 3A, recorded a convincing, 58-13 victory over Thermopolis last Thursday night at THS. The Bobcats entered the dual meet ranked third in Class 2A.
"Thermopolis has a really good team, and I was pleased with the way we wrestled against them," said PHS head coach Nate Urbach. "Going into it, I figured there would be four or five tight matches, and we won all of those. That was good to see."
Top-ranked Ren Utter gave the Panthers a victory at 103 by pinning his opponent at the 1:54 mark.
At 112, Olie Olson lived up to his No. 2 ranking when he registered one of the biggest victories of the night. His win came during a triple-overtime matchup with top-ranked Josh Materi.
"That was a big win for Olie," Urbach said. "Materi is an old nemesis for him, and it was exciting to see him get the win in that one."
PHS's Luke Wozney picked up a victory via forfeit at 119, and Colt Nix added to the Panthers' strong effort by posting a 13-0 victory over Cody Shinost at 125. Shinost boasted a No. 5 ranking.
A forfeit victory was claimed by PHS's Randy Andrews in the 130-pound weight class. At 135, Cory Eden also earned a forfeit victory.
Panther Auston Carter won his bout at 140 by pinning his opponent at the 3:16 mark, but PHS's Cole Kary suffered a 17-3 setback in his match Thursday.
In the bout for supremacy in the 152-pound weight class, PHS's Trevor Donarski, who carries a No. 1 ranking, scored an 8-3 decision against Josh Pounds. Pounds entered the bout with a No. 3 ranking.
Panther Cody Kalberer, who was behind by more than a half dozen points in his bout, avoided defeat by notching a pin at the 4:42 mark against second-ranked K.C. Lahoe. At 171, PHS's Monte Nickles pinned third-ranked Daniel Noskog in 3:20.
In the bouts at 189 and 215, Panthers Tyler Showalter and C.J. Simon suffered defeats. Showalter lost when he was pinned, and Simon lost a 5-2 decision against second-ranked Tanner Cornwell.
• Up next: The Panthers will be in action again Friday and Saturday when they take part in the Miles City (Mont.) Invitational. Wrestling is slated to begin at 10 a.m. both days.
Urbach said the tournament will not be as large as the recent Bozeman Invitational, but he is expecting many of the same teams from that event to attend the Montana-based event.
"It will be pretty similar to the tournament in Bozeman," Urbach said. "There will be plenty of tough teams there, and it should be a lot of fun."

Investing in Internet-Enabled Education
There's no reason why 30 students should sit in a classroom and be lectured on the same thing at the same time at the same pace when everyone learns differently. There's no reason why the tens of thousands of algebra classes are each being reinvented right now across the country by teachers of variable skill levels. There's no reason why college students should go into hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt for courses and a diploma that may not take them where they want to go. And there's no reason why teachers should waste time conveying materials that can easily be found online, when instead they could be inspiring students to be curious, discover themselves, and apply what they learn.
Despite how huge the education market is (estimated at $750b in the US alone), many VCs are afraid to invest in ed-tech because there was a lot of 'road kill' in the space after the dot-com bust. But much has changed in the past decade: the addressable market has expanded dramatically (10x more people are online, have 10x as fast connections, and are connected at least 10x as much), and we've recently seen a proliferation of internet-enabled mobile devices, data storage and processing innovations, and the spread of open source content that have brought about great efficiencies in content distribution, consumption, and production.
The importance of the Internet in changing education is more relevant than ever: we continue to move from a manufacturing-based economy to a knowledge-based economy at a rapid pace, yet our school system is still stuck in the Industrial Revolution.
There are a great diversity of opportunities to innovate in the education realm. On the learning side, we need to create new ways to make it:
- Fun. All physics lessons should be as fun as Angry Birds.
- Ubiquitous. I should be able learn anywhere and everywhere, taking full courses on my iPhone or any other device.
- Adaptive / Customized. Machines should learn how I learn and teach in a way that works best for me.
And on the accreditation side we need to find ways to get people credit (/certified) for practical skills they enjoy in a much faster, cheaper, and more accessible way than is provided by the accreditation bodies who hold a monopoly on the education system today.
I'm not arguing that we should try to overhaul the current system and force schools to adopt new technology and ideas, but rather that if we create compelling learning and teaching products outside of the school system we can push change from the outside, in.

Juventas Fugit is designed and written by Justin Wohlstadter, who, when not writing in the third person, can be found in a coffee shop talking about startups, thinking about the future of education, and generally procrastinating something important.
- Passions: startups that positively affect the world, education innovation, good design, learning, and meeting those with an equally insatiable curiosity.
- Play: building new ways for people to connect and explore knowledge at Wayfinder.
- Previously: was director of product design at Enterproid (acquired by Google). Before that I built the early-stage venture arm of Penny Black and co-founded BOLDstart Ventures, where I was lucky enough to invest in some awesome startups including Rapportive (acquired by Linkedin), Blaze (acquired by Akamai), GoInstant (acquired by Salesforce), Klout (acquired by Lithium), Enterproid (acquired by Google), IndieGoGo and many more. And before all of this I was involved in a bunch of other crazy, less successful startup ventures involving fire extinguishers, measuring philanthropic impact, and creative spaces.
- Pedantry: most of the important stuff I taught myself or learned from friends, but I'm fortunate to have also (barely received) degrees from Harvard and Oxford. At Oxford I wrote my dissertation on how internet innovation will disrupt access to higher education.

Here is a step by step on how to make one yourself.
Materials I used:
Vase (I bought this wide mouthed vase at Ikea for $.79)
Diapers- Preferrably white (I used about 40 Pampers Swaddlers newborn size)
Foam Ball (I used a 4" diameter)
Foam block
Wooden Skewers
Clear elastic bands (I use the Goody brand clear hair elastics)
Tissue Paper
Glue Gun
**Note: Amount of diapers used will depend on how big your foam ball is, the size diapers you use, and how closely you place them together.**
Step 1:
Prepare the Vase
I Took the foam block and cut it so it fit inside
I stuck one of the wooden skewers through the foam block and snapped it so only about 3.5 inches were sticking out the top
Then placed the foam ball on top.
You may need to adjust the foam block size so that the foam ball sits perfectly inside the mouth of the vase
Once I had it nice and cozy I took it all out then lined the inside of the vase with tissue paper and replaced the foam.
Step 2:
Prepare the Diapers
First roll each diaper up, starting at the open end, and ending at the folded end like so.
After it's rolled, wrap a clear elastic around it to keep it together.
Then stick the skewer through the rolled diaper.
Step 3:
Now, beginning at the top and working your way out, stick the skewers into the foam ball.
I found the skewers to be too long, so I broke each skewer before sticking it in leaving about
3-ish inches from bottom of diaper roll to tip of the skewer.
Now it should look like this
Step 4:
We need to hide the foam ball in between each diaper roll.
Start by cutting out squares of tulle.
Then fold together and place in between each diaper roll.
I glue gunned on a little lace and ribbon to the base of the vase to make it match it's fancy contents.
And VOILA!!

Who is the greatest wide receiver of all-time? Most would say Jerry Rice deserves that title, although Randy Moss took the opportunity at yesterday's Super Bowl media day to declare himself the greatest ever.
While Moss is still an active player, his best days are behind him and it is unlikely he can add more to strengthen his case as the game's top receiver. If there is another active player that could challenge Rice, it's probably Calvin Johnson – the man who just broke Jerry Rice's single-season receiving yards record.
Megatron's resume is not yet complete, but where would he rank among the all-time greats right now? Mike Dyce at NFL Spin Zone took up the task of compiling a top ten list and Johnson made the cut, getting the list started at number ten. Dyce explains:
There are several current NFL players that come to mind who could make this list. Larry Fitzgerald is one, Andre Johnson and Reggie Wayne could plead their case. But at the #10 spot we went with Megatron, who is coming off arguably one of the greatest seasons ever by an NFL wide receiver. All he did was run wild over the NFL catching 122 passes for a NFL record 1,964 yards. It was Rice's record that he broke and he finished just shy off the 2,000 yard mark. He would've been the first NFL WR to pass that milestone. All of this coming after a $132 million dollar contract. Usually players have contract years when they're trying to earn a deal, not after. He is a 3x All-Pro and a 2x NFL receiving yards leader. He also is in the middle of his prime, so he could go for that 2,000 yard mark again next season if Matthew Stafford stays healthy. He is a match up nightmare standing at 6'4″ and weighing roughly 235 lbs. All this suggests he could move up this list.
Do you agree that Calvin Johnson is already one of the ten best wide receivers to ever play in the NFL? How high up the list will he go when his career is finally over?

I'm bursting with ideas!
LinkedIn for becoming an incredible resource, Zappos for it's uncanny customer service
One of the things that frustrates me the most is having progress held up by others outside the company that can't, or won't, move at the speed we are moving at. I find it incredibly rewarding to have a measure of responsibility for giving individuals careers and personal growth experiences as well as having a positive influence of partners and customers.
Fear! Allowing fear to crowd out innovation and stifle creativity. It's ironic that most entreprenuers overcome fear just to step out on their own when there's nothing to lose. Then when things are moving along, and there is something to lose, they become hesistant to take risk and wind up missing opportunities to advance their business.
1. It's the people. I'll take someone who fits the culture and has the ability to grow into a position over a "so-called" superstar that disrupts the team and demands all the attention.
2. Discernment. I'm talking about keen discernment in everything from hiring to knowing what the focus of the business needs to be. Surround yourself with as many wise advisers as you need in order to help evaluate critical decisions and pick the best possible option(s).
3. Persistence is critical. There are so many things that happen in the life of a business that either seem like, or really are, death's door for the company. Once again, having mentors, whose own experience you can lean on, is invaluable. Never give up, BUT, also recognize when it is time to change course.

The Selfless Man
Hey Girl, I had a dream about you last night, we went antiquing and got your mom a really nice gift — it was pretty intense.
They were going to hurt you … I just thought you could get out of here if you wanted to, I could come with you, I could look out for you.
I'm going to help you rediscover your manhood: You're sitting there with a Supercuts haircut, you're getting drunk on watered-down vodka-cranberries like a 14-year-old girl, why don't you take that straw out of your mouth?
These are among the memes and catchphrases deemed significant enough to require assignment to a vehicle capable of distributing them to the masses, to a body that lures audiences and Rachel McAdams alike, to a mouth that almost never shows its teeth when it smiles: the mouth of Ryan Gosling.
It was a shrewd choice. That Gosling has come to personify the present moment is evident not only in his Hollywood fame — he has starred in three blockbusters in the past six months and is set to appear in another three in the coming year — but also his internet fame, where he is discussed endlessly in blogs, fan sites, and countless Tumblrs devoted to Gosling-centric memes.
We should not take Gosling lightly: He has clearly struck a cultural nerve, and his performances have proven themselves to resonate deeply with the American psyche . Gosling has become the man people want to reenact their social world, the lens through which people want their experiences filtered, whether it be their romantic fantasies, their theoretical leanings, their hobbies, their entertainment, or their pancakes.

HOUSTON, TX, Oct 17, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Intergraph CADWorx received positive coverage in the September 24th edition of The American Surveyor AmeriSurv.com newsletter as part of the publication's in-depth review of the Hexagon User Conference, which was held June 6-9 in Orlando, Florida USA. The article by Gavin Schrock, LS and Gene V. Roe, Ph.D., PE, LS covered the Geosystems track session on "How to Develop Plant As-Built Deliverables Quicker and More Accurately using a Combination of Intergraph Software and a Leica Geosystems Total Station."
The session included discussions of the benefits of the integration between the CADWorx plant design and 3D modeling software and Leica's laser scanning software technical. The product, called CADWorx fieldPipe, allows users to capture point data of the existing facility and complete an accurate as-built 3D model while still on site, saving significant time and money while providing the owner/operator with a complete model and other deliverables associated with existing plants. The article referred to that particular discussion as an "aha" moment when the writers realized that customers rather than senior management would be the drivers of integration among Intergraph, Geosystems, and Hexagon Metrology solutions.

We do it all – there is lots of fun and excitement to keep everyone happy, no one goes away disappointed. Many return year after year and bring friends with them.
Evenings are filled with hot tub, videos, BBQs, trips to the local town, cinema. All children are fully supervised by qualified first aid trained and CRB checked staff and only allowed to leave the centre on organised outings. For our foreign students, although we are not a language school we have an in house English teacher who is available to give lessons by separate negotiation, please contact us for details.
Fun packed children's riding holidays are run throughout the year during school holidays. You can choose your dream pony to own and ride for the week, or ride a different one each day. All ponies need a lot of looking after, but don't worry as we show you how to groom, tack up and care for them. Most of your day and some evenings are spent in outdoor pursuits. Activities in detail.

Practical practiceThere are many products available in the aftermarket to supplant extra forces on the performance of a car's original airflow, partly known now as ground effects. One way is by using a spoiler. Essentially, it is an aerodynamic device normally on the rear of the vehicle (a front spoiler is called an airdam) that changes the direction of airflow in order to reduce lift or aerodynamic drag. A spoiler can reduce drag and lift or create a downward force on the car. It is called a spoiler because it "spoils" the normal airflow over the car. However, it should be noted that most of these attempts to reduce drag, such as adding spoilers, underbody panels, and airdams, are not entirely practical to road-going cars. The results, if any, are very minor, if they don't result in actually impairing the vehicle's daily capabilities, including reduced ground clearance and so on. Simply put, most aerodynamic aftermarket equipment serves more to improve the car's appearance than its performance-not that there's anything wrong with that.
On the track, however, there is nothing more hotly debated than the effects of aerodynamics on a racecar, as the same principles that apply to aircraft are applied here but with a twist. The shape of a racecar chassis is similar to an inverted wing or airfoil that creates downforce rather than lift. This keeps the car on the ground at high speeds and increases traction around curves because the air under the car is moving faster than the air above it. Slower moving air creates greater pressure, forcing the car down against the track. The reverse-wing shape of the underbody creates another area of low pressure that sucks the car to the pavement.
Downforce must be carefully balanced against drag, which slows the car. Designs are refined through research using wind tunnels equipped with moving tracks to simulate racing conditions, and an efficient compromise in the downforce/drag relationship is the goal to obtain the best handling at the highest possible speeds. This concept is mostly lost on production cars.
Throughout the '50s, a typical prototype sports racing car was small and lightweight, had a front engine, and had a body with a nicely designed aerodynamic shell. Due to relatively inefficient engines, racecar designers were relegated to building a car as aerodynamic as possible by making the body round and streamlined so that it cut through the wind to make up for any horsepower deficits. Sometimes they did this too well. Racecars of the era were prone to too much positive lift, causing them to unpredictably launch into the air even if slightly provoked at high speeds.
In 1956, michael may, an engineer, had an idea to construct an airfoil, but flip it over so that it produced a negative force toward the ground, and mount it onto his porsche type 550 to use the downforce to improve the traction, grip, and handling on his car. May's innovation was too successful; race organizers kept him from the track because the wing "restricted the view of the drivers behind him." Nothing more was said of the innovation or anything like it for the rest of the decade.
Ten years later, jim hall mounted a wing onto his 2e can-am chaparral and proved the value of the concept by running competitively in the can-am championship that year, and he introduced it to the europeans the following year. By 1968, wings started to show up on formula one cars, and a new era of aerodynamic development began, specifically in the area of downforce.
In the early '60s, ferrari's engineers discovered that by adding an airfoil to the rear end of the ferrari 246sp endurance racer for the 1962 season they were able to direct the majority of the airflow away from the rear of the car, thereby reducing drag and lift. This technology trickled down the following year to the 250 gto road car, which incorporated a small duck-tail rear wing.
In 1969, porsche introduced the 917 to international sports car racing, a car with a reliable but low-horsepower engine paired with sleek, low-drag bodywork. The combination worked well, but it couldn't get the championships the factory was after. Porsche switched to a higher-horsepower engine, but the car was then plagued with aerodynamic instability problems (drivers soon named it "the ulcer"). Through wind tunnel testing, the front and rear bodywork was restyled and the car soon dominated the sports car world championship in 1970 and 1971.
However, the wing did not get popular until porsche launched its 911 rs 2.7 in 1972, whose big duck tail reduced lift by 75 percent at high speed. Now a trademark of the 911, the "whale tail" appeared the following year on the rs 3.0, and it completely eliminated lift at the rear tires.
Almost 750 years ago, scientist roger bacon was onto something when he uttered the words with which we began this compendium: "when you get it right, mighty beasts float up into the sky. When you get it wrong, people die."

A judge has scheduled a July 18 hearing on a lawsuit challenging a state official's decision to keep a proposed sales tax increase off Arizona's November ballot.
Supporters of the so-called "Quality Education and Jobs Act" are trying to overturn Secretary of State Ken Bennett's decision. He said a paperwork flaw meant that the initiative campaign didn't submit enough valid signatures.
The supporters contend that the measure should go on the ballot because an electronic version had the correct text. That's even though a printed version omitted some material.
The measure would increase the state sales tax by one cent. It would take effect in 2013 when a temporary sales tax increase expires.
The case is before Judge Robert Oberbillig of Maricopa County Superior Court.

Diplomatic notification 1999/2: COP7, delegates' credentials and visas
Notification 1999/2
7th Meeting of the Conference of the Parties, San José, Costa Rica, 10-18 May 1999
Delegates Credentials and Visas
The Bureau of the Convention on Wetlands (Ramsar, Iran, 1971) presents its compliments and has the honour to refer to the following:
To avoid possible difficulties at the time of the Conference, the Bureau would like to reiterate the following rules concerning delegates credentials and visas:
Credentials: At the time of registration delegates of Contracting Parties will be required to present a statement of credential in English, French or Spanish. These should be on appropriate letterhead and should be originals, not copies, signed by the Head of State or Government and/or the Minister of Foreign Affairs. A facsimile copy (fax) will not be acceptable to the Credentials Committee.
In the event that another Ministry or agency is empowered to accredit representatives at international meetings, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should inform the Ramsar Bureau of this fact in advance of the Conference.
Visas: The host country has assumed the obligation to grant visas to representatives of all Contracting Parties and observers invited by the Conventions Secretariat. Representatives requiring visas should, nonetheless, complete the required formalities well in advance. Visas will be issued on arrival in San José, provided that the participant has received from the authorities in Costa Rica previous confirmation that the visa has been authorized and will be granted. To do so participants should obtain from the Ramsar Bureau a form specially prepared for Ramsar COP7. With the form, the Bureau will provide instructions on how to proceed. Participants are advised not to fly to Costa Rica until they have received confirmation from the Costa Rican authorities that their visas have been authorized.
Participants requiring visas should possess a passport which is valid for at least six months.
The Bureau of the Convention on Wetlands respectfully requests that the content of the present Note be communicated to the competent national authorities and avails itself of this opportunity to renew the assurance of its highest consideration.
Gland, 22 February 1999

The ōtoneö of the Roberts confirmation hearings thus far has been, as Howard Kurtz observes today, ōmore legal seminar than confrontation.ö And for a press that thrives on conflict, this must be hugely disappointing.
So what do you do when itÆs your job to report on proceedings that drone more than crackle, on a nominee whose responses, as the New York TimesÆs Todd S. Purdum writes today, have sometimes been ōso bland as to tremble on the precipice of platitudeö? (Play with alliteration, for one).
If youÆre Fox News (and carrying much of the proceedings live), you promote the hearings as though they were a duel at high noon: ōThe showdown for the top spot on the Supreme Court continues as senators from both sides line up and the political battles heat up,ö blares an urgent-sounding voice-over during a video promo on Foxnews.com teased with the headline ōBattle for the Bench.ö
The Washington Times gins up some conflict he-said/she-said style, reporting today that ōRepublicans and conservatives said [Roberts] acquitted himself perfectlyö thus far while ōDemocrats and liberal activists said he ducked questions and probably lost supportģö but then hides this startling finding under the bland headline, ōNomineeÆs Answers Get Mixed Reviews.ö
You can make Roberts sound like the winner of the U.S. Open, as the New York PostÆs Ian Bishop does in his piece headlined ōRoberts CanÆt Be Ruffledö which opens as follows: ōSupreme Court chief justice pick John Roberts yesterday beat back an onslaught of Democratic attempts to pin down his opinions on abortionģö
Or, faced with RobertsÆ consistently unrevealing responses, you can do as the Washington PostÆs Dana Milbank does and find something — anything — that actually was revealed about the nominee yesterday: ōSitting at a folding table dressed up with red felt, Roberts, his bald spot exposed under the studio lightsģö

Casada Chase
Sweet-faced Casada is a very dirty girl. But she cleans up real nice! Here we see her washing off after a workout. Her perky, round boobs, gum-drop nipples and shaved pussy will drive you wild. She's everything you want in a teen girl. Cute as anything, curious and horny, too! She's not tarted up, just natural and fresh like the girl next door. After washing off she gives her squeaky clean pussy a treat with her favorite toy.
Casada Chase
How'd you end up doing your scene in Teens Next Door?
"After Shawn and I fucked that one day, we just kept on fucking. Someone saw us on webcam and asked us to do a movie. So, we said yes right away!"
Was it hard to take down all that cock?
"I have skills! [Laughs] I really practiced a lot with my toys when I was learning how to give blowies. Now I think I have no gag reflex. I can just suck a whole fattie right down my throat. And you know what? It turns me on to suck on a guy's cock before we fuck. It's like I'm getting it ready so it can slip right into my box."
Casada Chase
What toys do you like to take into the tub, Casada?
"I have a bunch! I just moved into my college dorm with my roomie, Joanie, and there are toys everywhere 'cause I don't have to worry that my mom will find them. I have this new pink one that I love 'cause it's really big and when I stick it in my pussy, I can feel the vibes in my pussy and my clitty at the same time. So far, I've cum seven times in a row with it."
Doesn't your roomie see all your toys, though?
"Yeah, she sees them, but we use them together, so it's not a big deal. She and I have been doing each other since high school. She was the first girl who ever ate me out, so we still fool around now."
So, are you a lezzie?
"No. I'm bisexual because I love cock as much as I love pussy. Sometimes I bring home guys and fuck them in front of Joanie. She likes to act all shocked at first, but then she jumps right in and helps me rock that cock. We're a team and we share everything!"
Casada Chase
Who was the lucky guy you dated who 'split' you? "My boyfriend, silly. We've only recently started having sex and I love trying new stuff. I'm pretty flexible, so he likes me to spread my legs as far apart as they will go, then he fucks me really hard!" Do you like the feeling of a hard cock filling you up? "Oh, yeah, I do! But sometimes, the next day, I feel a little sore. That's usually after my boyfriend has fucked me long and hard for a real long time. But I'm not bitching about it-I love feeling like I've been fucked good!" Do you do that split for your boyfriend when he fucks you? "Yeah, and not just him, either. I could totally tell that one of my professors at college had the hots for me, so I invited him over a couple of weeks ago. We ended up doing it right here on the counter and I spread my legs real wide, just like this. I'm not gonna tell my boyfriend about that, but I want to fuck him right here in the same way!
Casada Chase
"My boyfriend said he wouldn't mind at all if I became a porn star, as long as he got to fuck me," naughty Casada reveals. "He even said he wouldn't mind if I did three-ways and gang bangs as long as he was in it. He was so excited about doing this. Like, for days before, he was walking around all proud like he was Mr. Super Stud. I said to him, "If you're gonna talk the talk, you better be able to walk the walk. If you can't get it up for me, everybody's gonna find out."
Casada Chase
"I heard guys like it when girls cook. I'm hoping my boyfriend is going to like what I'm doing in his kitchen!"
Casada Chase
"I was staying over at my boyfriend's place. I said I'd make us coffee, but I couldn't figure out how to use his coffee perk," said Casada. "He was teasing me about how useless I am in the kitchen because I can't even cook. I told him there was one thing I'd be good at in the kitchen and that's sex. We had talked about me posing for NN, so I told him to go get his camera and he'd get a sex show in the kitchen so whenever he was in there he'd be sure to remember me. When we were done, we had sex right there with me sitting right on the edge of the counter. Now he says that he thinks of me doing myself with my toy and then fucking him every time he's in the room. Cooking? Why worry about that when you can get pussy."
Casada Chase
Casada, 19, loves having sex in public places and doing things she isn't supposed to do, and Shawn, 22, is the perfect horndog for her to have as a boyfriend. "He wouldn't mind at all if I became a porn star, as long as he got to fuck me," Casada said after she and her guy got done fucking in their Miami, Florida apartment. "He even said he wouldn't mind if I did three-ways and gangbangs as long as he was in it. He was so excited about doing this. Like, for days before the photographer was supposed to show up, he was walking around all proud like he was Mr. Super Stud. I said to him, 'If you're gonna talk the talk, you better be able to walk the walk. If you can't get it up for me, everybody's gonna find out."

Oral Histories from the 'Gold Coast'

Please join us Wednesday evening Oct. 9 at 7 p.m. Area resident Marvin T. Jones will be on hand to discuss his new film, The Gold Coast.
According to a New York Times article, "The Shifting 'Gold Coast,'" By Neil A. Lewis. "For more than two decades, Washington's black elite lived in an enclave in the Northwest corner of the city. If one was a doctor, lawyer, senior Government official or connected to Howard University, one hoped to or was even expected to live in ''the Gold Coast.''"
Come to our Happy Hour and enjoy the documentary film produced by Jones. The film gives a historical perspective of African-American families living on the 16th Street corridor, sometimes referred to as the "Gold Coast." This film is funded in part by the Humanities Council of Washington as part of its Community Heritage grant series. Jones will be on hand to discuss the film and documentary work.
Fall refreshments will be available.
