work, but the main customer now is the nuclear industry, and the industry pays base costs rather than marginal costs.
Decommissioning costs are far in the future and can in no way be considered comparable to construction costs. The Atomic Industrial Forum, the only organization that has conducted a detailed study of these costs, concludes that they might, in constant-dollar terms, be as much as 10 percent of original costs.61 Discounting this estimate at 5 percent over 50 years yields a present worth for this item of less than 1 percent of the original plant cost.
In summary, we consider that the costs of nuclear power, as computed now or projected into the future, represent a fair statement, and that no significant additions to these costs have been identified.*
Nuclear power, as an industry subject to accidents and government regulation, may incur costs from uninsured risks. These arise from the excess costs of replacement power when plants are shut down following an accident or regulatory action. A related set of costs may result from delays in licensing that add to the capital costs of plants under construction.
These risks are subsumed under the capacity-factor projections and the contingencies included in construction schedules that are now part of the industry's standard accounting. The accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in 1979 raises the question whether the accounting is adequate. Are the capacity-factor projections and construction schedules that seemed reasonable before this incident still reasonable?
These questions cannot yet be answered. The rate of regulatory shutdown does not appear much greater than the rate prevailing before the accident at Three Mile Island. A licensing hold that has been in effect since then has delayed the schedules of several new reactors, but it may be lifted in the future.
The prolonged shutdown of the Three Mile Island plant represents a financial blow to its operating utility. The loss could be mitigated by an assessment against other nuclear units that would add less than 1 percent to nuclear generating costs. Institutions and arrangements to spread the risks in this or similar ways do not yet exist, but they are being explored. If there were many accidents, the costs would become significant, but in that case, nuclear power would no longer be considered a major energy option.

Given that Iran is partly responsible for wasting two hours of everyone's Monday, it's about time this team gets their come-uppance in the form of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse (Messi, di Maria, Higuain, and Aguero). While everything about this World Cup tournament has been anything but predictable, Group F has pretty much been set in stone; Bosnia and Herzegovina and Argentina will advance out of the group.
Despite being heavy underdogs, Iran has played far from admirably, showing hesitation to attack in their match against Nigeria. Packing 10 players behind the ball, Iran neglected to (or failed to) string a counter attack and were looking to settle for a draw. Chances are Team Melli will be looking to pull the same stunt against Argentina and hope for an upset victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina.
La Albiceleste showed some rust against the Bosnians last Sunday, struggling to create open chances against the Eastern European side. However, an own goal by Kolasinac and a distance strike by Lionel Messi gave Argentina a 2-1 victory. With the hardest match out of the way, Argentina can take a breather and know that their path to the round of 16 is secure once they give Iran the thrashing that awaits.
Let the goalfest begin.
Projected Starting XI
Iran: A. Haghighi, Montazeri, Hosseini, Sadeghi, Pooladi, Timotian, Nekonam, Haji Safi, Heydari, Ghoochannejhad, Dejagah
Argentina: Romero, Zabaleta, F. Fernandez, Garay, Rojo, A. Fernandez, Gago, Mascherano, di Maria, Messi, Aguero.
Keys for Iran
– Park the Bus and try to counter attack
– Don't hold the ball and pass around aimlessly. Unlike Nigeria, Argentina has the talent and creativity to expose bush league tactics like that.
– Improve support around Javad Nekonam. The team must improve linkup play around their central midfielder.
Keys for Argentina
– Attack and recover. Given the speed and ball control Argentina has, La Albiceleste must relentlessly attack the Iranian defense. Be patient as well to find the best opportunities. They are a superior team and shouldn't be afraid to create a slow build up on the attack to their advantage.
– Press forward and leave the Iranian midfield shell-shocked by the abundance of Argentinians pushing forward.
– Stay disciplined in the back. Reza Ghoochannejhad is still relatively a dangerous striker.
Key Battles
– Nekonam vs Mascherano – If Mascherano shuts down Nekonam, he has stifled Iran's offense as well.
– Ghoochannejhad vs Garay + Fernandez – Ghoochannejhad will need to be patient when dealing with speedy center backs Ezekiel Garay and Federico Fernandez. Although his chances at touching the ball will be few, he must plan three moves ahead in order to find space to get a shot off.
– Messi + Aguero vs Iran – the attacking duo will see 10 Iranian players crowding the box to deny them any chance at goal. That's a battle worth seeing.
Staff Predictions
Young Kim: 4-0 Argentina, it'll take two goals in the first half to dishearten this Iran team and put them in their place. Iran has never faced a team as talented as Argentina, and chances are that their faith in the 10-men wall will falter after Messi gives Iran a clinical lesson about soccer.
Drew Thompson: 3-0 Argentina. Argentina just have far too much quality in their front players for Iran to ever dream of getting a result in this match – it's just a matter of how many goals they lose by

from getting hurt. We're using the single finest technology available today
for case decoration to actually infuse the design into your case for maximum
durability. They're constructed from the finest Amorphous Polymer which sounds
like it just crawled from the sea but is actually a very strong plastic that
s apparently used up there in space. It's extremely strong, like a post-spinach Popeye.
The Snap is a slim fitting one-piece clip-on case. Perfect for not ruining the
smooth lines of your skinny jeans. We know how important that is.

Choosing a Doggy Daycare
When you YELP "doggy daycare" or "dog boarding", there's a plethora of places, reviews, up's and down's and hoops and this and that and AHH!!! WHICH ONE DO WE CHOOSE?!!?
Most people go by price, which is okay as long as the facility is awesome.
I recently had the chance to be a dog trainer for 6 of the largest companies for dog boarding/doggy daycare. I won't name them, but the liability issues I saw were INTENSE!
I have since compiled a checklist of observations and questions, ALL pet parents should ask!
Here we go :)
- Temperament testing!
Super important! It should be at least 3-5 hours of testing. A shy dog doesn't always mean a bad dog, but watch for SEVERE stress levels.
- What's the emergency escape plan?
A couple of leashes and 1 person for 60 dogs is NOT an okay plan!
- Are the doggy play areas double doored?
Like dog parks, there should be a door to let your dog into a tiny area, then another door to let your dog into the play area.
- Is the hallway for the boarding kennels wide enough?
Your dog might be neighbors with a dog-aggressive shepherd a few kennels down. There WILL BE "FENCE FIGHTING"! It's a guarantee only because everyone boarding will be stressed out and scared. Make sure the corridors and hallways are wide enough so the aggressive dogs can't reach under and snatch a paw!
- Who's the on-call vet?
I think this question explains itself ;)
When taking a tour (they BETTER give you a tour!), don't let the associate simply lead you on a quick 2 second run.
Your baby is going to be staying here, REALLY pause and make these observations:
- How are the dogs being treated?
Alpha-dominant daycare associates are ROUGH! They will roll your dog, scream at them, smack their snout, all away from the daycare webcam of course…
- Are there more than 15 dogs per daycare sitter?
Count it out! If there are more dogs, there should be at least 2 people in the area to help with fighting.
- Are the daycare sitters idly standing around or engaging the dogs in play?
A bored dog will waste a day of daycare, or might be so energetic that it annoys other dogs…causing fights.
- Are there toys? Treats?
- Are the water bowls all full?
Hydration is key to health.
- What preventative tools do they have on hand for dog fights?
If the tools are very wide in range, it makes one wonder "Geez how many fight do you guys have per day??!"
- How's the temperature?
If your dog is a double coated breed (or brachycephalic!), make sure the temperature in the daycare facility is cool enough!
- How many dogs are scared, sleeping, shaking, stressed out of their minds?
A stressed dog, or a fearful dog, is more likely to increase the chances of a dog fight.
The very last thing you should do when you take the tour is WALK your dog on the tour.
Let your dog smell, see how the other dogs react, and always judge by their stress levels.
Daycare doesn't have to be scary, but some places mask it so well because we trust these BIG company names.
Be smart pet parents and investigate!

|Oracle® R Enterprise User's Guide
Release 11.2 for Linux, Solaris, AIX, and Windows
Part Number E26499-05
|PDF · Mobi · ePub
This chapter explains how to use Oracle R Enterprise to analyze data stored in tables or views in an Oracle Database. Before you analyze data in tables, you must connect to a database, as described in Tables in the Oracle Database.
This chapter discusses these topics:
We assume familiarity with R in the remainder of this section.
These examples were all created using R Console, the default graphical user interface for Open Source R.
For information about
ore.sync, and
ore.ls, see Start the Oracle R Enterprise Client on Microsoft Windows, Start the Oracle R Enterprise Client on Linux. Solaris, or AIX, and Connect to an Oracle Database.
Oracle R Enterprise also includes the Oracle R Enterprise Statistical Functions, described in Chapter 4.
Before you can use Oracle R Enterprise to analyze data stored in database tables, you must Start the Oracle R Enterprise Client on Microsoft Windows or Start the Oracle R Enterprise Client on Linux. Solaris, or AIX.
Objects created by Oracle R Enterprise are identified with the
ore prefix. Pick any object returned by
ore.ls() and type either
class(OBJECTNAME) or
For example,
R> class(NARROW) [1] "ore.frame" attr(,"package") [1] "OREbase"
The prefix
ore is applied to the class names. This indicates that the object is an Oracle R Enterprise created object that holds metadata (instead of contents) of the corresponding object in Oracle Database.
Two important metadata objects are
ore.frame is the Oracle R Enterprise metadata object that maps to a database table. The ore.frame object is the counterpart to an R data.frame.
ore.matrix is the Oracle R Enterprise metadata object that maps to a database table storing a matrix. The ore.matrix object is the counterpart to an R matrix.
ore.frame or
ore.matrix can be returned by the
class() function. For an example of creating ore.frame data, see Load Data into the Database.
Use this command to view the Oracle R Enterprise documentation library:
R> OREShowDoc()
When you install Oracle R Enterprise, two tables NARROW and ONTIME_S are loaded into the
rquser schema:
R> ore.ls() [1] "NARROW" "ONTIME_S"
Oracle R Enterprise includes these functions:
Follow these steps to load data from files on your system to the Oracle Database:
Load contents of the file to an R data frame using
read.table() or
read.csv() functions documented in the R manuals.
Then use
ore.create()to load a data frame to a table:
ore.create(data_frame, table="TABLE_NAME")
loads data_frame into the database table TABLE_NAME.
This example creates an R data frame
df consisting of pairs of numbers and letters and then loads the data frame into the Oracle table DF_TABLE. The example shows that the data frame and the table have the same dimensions and the same first few elements, but different values for class. The class for DF_TABLE is ore.frame.
R> df <- data.frame(A=1:26, B=letters[1:26]) R> dim(df) [1] 26 2 R> class(df) [1] "data.frame" R> head(df) A B 1 1 a 2 2 b 3 3 c 4 4 d 5 5 e 6 6 f R> ore.create(df, table="DF_TABLE") R> ore.ls() [1] "DF_TABLE" "NARROW" "ONTIME_S" R> class(DF_TABLE) [1] "ore.frame" attr(,"package") [1] "OREbase" R> dim(DF_TABLE) [1] 26 2 R> head(DF_TABLE) A B 0 1 a 1 2 b 2 3 c 3 4 d 4 5 e 5 6 f R>
ore.push(data-frame) stores an R object in the database as a temporary object, and returns a handle to that object. It converts data frame, matrix, and vector to a table, and list, model, and others to a serialized object.
This example pushes the numerical vector created by the R command
c(1,2,3,4,5) to v, an Oracle R Enterprise object:
v <- ore.push(c(1,2,3,4,5)) R> class(v) [1] "ore.numeric" attr(,"package") [1] "OREbase" R> head(v) [1] 1 2 3 4 5
To drop a table in the database use
For example, this command drops DF_TABLE:
To pull the contents of an Oracle Database table or view into an in-memory R data frame use
ore.pull(OBJECT_NAME)for the name of an object returned by
Note:You can pull a table or view to an R frame only if the.if the size of the data can fit into R's memory.
For example, use
ore.pull() to create the data frame
df_narrow from the table NARROW and then verify that
df_narrow is a data frame:
R> df_narrow <- ore.pull(NARROW) R> class(df_narrow) [1] "data.frame"
The Oracle R Enterprise transparency framework allows R users to continue to use R syntax to work directly with database-resident objects without having to pull data from Oracle into R's memory on the user's desktop.
R language constructs and syntax are supported for objects mapped to Oracle Database objects. The following R data types have been overloaded so that they are mapped to database objects and hence enabled for in-database execution:
Character, Integer, Numeric and Logical vectors
Data Frame
Matrix is overloaded in two situations:
Linear algebra cross-products
Creating input matrices for advanced analytics
class(object) reports the data type of such mapped objects. For example,
R> class(NARROW$AGE) [1] "ore.numeric" attr(,"package") [1] "OREbase"
The following operators and functions are supported. See R documentation for syntax and semantics of these operators and functions. Syntax and semantics for these items remain unchanged when used on a corresponding database-mapped data type (also known as an Oracle R Enterprise data type):
Mathematical transformations: abs, sign, sqrt, ceiling, floor, trunc, cummax, cummin, cumprod, cumsum, log, log10, log2, log1p, acos, acosh, asin, asinh, atan, atanh, exp, expm1, cos, cosh, sin, sinh, tan, tanh, gamma, lgamma, digamma, trigamma, round, signif, pmin, pmax, zapsmall
Basic statistics: mean, summary, min, max, sum, any, all, median, range, IQR, fivenum, mad, quantile, sd, var, table, rowSums, colSums, rowMeans, colMeans
Arithmetic operators:+, -, *, /, ^, %%, %/%
Comparison operators: ==, >, <, !=, <=, >=
Logical operators: &, |, xor
Set operations: unique, %in%
Assignment: <-, =, ->
String operations: tolower, toupper, casefold, toString, chatr, sub, gsub, substr, substring, paste, nchar
Combine Data Frame: cbind, rbind, merge
Combine vectors: append
Vector creation: ifelse
Subset: [, [[, $, head, tail, window, subset, Filter, na.omit, na.exclude, complete.cases
Data reshaping: split, unlist
Data processing: eval, with, within, transform
Apply variants: tapply, aggregate, by
ore.lm() - a variant of
Special value checks: is.na, is.finite, is.infinite, is.nan
Metadata functions: attributes, nrow, NROW, ncol, NCOL, nlevels, names, row, col, dimnames, dim, length, row.names, col.names, levels, reorder
Graphics: hist, boxplot, plot, smoothScatter
Garbage collection: gc (removal of implicitly created temporary tables after errors and explicitly created temporary tables)
Conversion functions:
as.ore.{character, factor, integer, logical, numeric, vector}
Test functions:
is.ore.{character, factor, integer, logical, numeric, vector}
Save: ore.push (table is automatically refreshed in R memory)
The following additional categories of functions exist to accomplish conversions to/from and checks on Oracle R Enterprise data types:
Hypothesis testing: wilcox.test, ks.test, var.test, binom.test, chisq.test, t.test, bartlett.test
Bessel Functions: Bessel(I,J,K,Y)
Gamma Functions: gamma, lgamma, digamma, trigamma (part of mathematical functions group)
Various Distributions: Density, cumulative distribution, and quantile functions for standard distributions
Matrix Operations:%*% (matrix multiplication), crossprod (matrix cross-product), tcrossprod (matrix cross-product A times transpose of B)
The Oracle R Enterprise sample programs, described in Oracle R Enterprise Examples include several examples using each category of the functions listed above with Oracle R Enterprise data types.
Our design principle has been to support data pre-processing functionality extensively so all data preparation and analysis can take place directly in the database.If you need to use a statistical technique that is not available in Oracle R Enterprise, having used Oracle R Enterprise to preprocess and filter the data, a much smaller amount of data can be pulled into R.
If a specific function that you need is not in the list above, you must explicitly pull data from the database into the R engine memory using
ore.pull() to create an in-memory R object first.
The following examples illustrate using R with Oracle R Enterprise data types:

The embedded R engine in the Oracle Database allows R users to off load desktop calculations that may require either more resources such as those available to Oracle Database or database-driven data parallelism. The embedded R engine also executes R scripts embedded in SQL or PL/SQL programs (lights-out processing).
These examples illustrate using Oracle R Enterprise embedded R engine with standard R packages downloaded from CRAN:
This example illustrates building a regression model using a CRAN package. Prepare the data used for training in the database (filtering out observations that are not of interest, selecting attributes, imputing missing values, etc.) to create the table ONTIME_S_PREPROCESSED_SUBSET. Pull the prepared training set (which is usually small enough to fit in desktop R memory) into R client to execute the model build. The resulting model is then used to score vast numbers of rows, in parallel, in the Oracle Database.
Note that scoring is a trivially parallelizable operation because one row can be scored independent of and in parallel with another row. The model built on the desktop is shipped to the database to perform scoring on vast number of rows in the database.
The computations are divided into these steps:
dat <- ore.pull(ONTIME_S_PREPROCESSED_SUBSET) mod <- glm(ARRDELAY ~ DISTANCE + DEPDELAY, dat) mod summary(mod)
Score in-parallel in the database using embedded R:
prd <- predict(mod, newdata=ONTIME_S_FINAL_DATA_TO_BE_SCORED) class(prd) # Add predictions as a new column res <- cbind(newdat, PRED = prd) head(res)
This example illustrates off-loading R computation to execute in the embedded R engine. The R user simply includes his code within a closure (that is,
function() {}) and invokes
ore.doEval() schedules execution of the R code with the database-embedded R engine and returns the results back to the desktop for continued analysis:
mod <- ore.doEval( function() { library(biglm) dat <- ore.pull(ONTIME_S) mod <- biglm(ARRDELAY ~ DISTANCE + DEPDELAY, dat) mod }); print(mod) mod=ore.pull(mod) print(mod)
This example illustrates database-driven data parallelism at work in building a series of regression models using a CRAN package. One model is built per unique value of a factor. The database orchestrates parallel and concurrent building of the models, one per factor and bringing the list of all models built to the user desktop for further analysis:
modList <- ore.groupApply( # Organize input to the R script – This is always an Oracle R Enterprise # data frame X=ONTIME_S, # Specify the grouping column. Here we request one model per unique value of # ONTIME_S$DEST INDEX=ONTIME_S$DEST, # Model building code goes inside the closure. Input and grouping # conditions can be referenced as parameters to the function function(x, param) { library(biglm) biglm(ARRDELAY ~ DISTANCE + DEPDELAY, x) }); modList_local <- ore.pull(modList) # Print the model for just one destination - BOSTON summary(modList_local$BOS)
These functions are available to enable richer statistical analysis. See the Oracle R Enterprise Sample Library described in Oracle R Enterprise Examples for usage examples of each function. The functions all operate on an Oracle R Enterprise data frame:
ore.summary: Enables powerful multiple aggregations of columns
ore.rank: Enables flexible ranking across multiple columns
ore.sort: Enables flexible sorting along one or more columns
ore.corr: Enables correlation analysis of numeric columns
ore.crosstab: Enables cross-column analysis
ore.freq: Enables cross tabulation analysis of numeric columns
Oracle R Enterprise users who are allowed to execute R code via SQL queries must be granted the RQROLE role.
To enable execution of an R script in the database (lights-out processing), Oracle R Enterprise provides variants of
ore.groupApply(), and
ore.indexApply() in SQL. (
ore.groupApply(), and
ore.indexApply() are described in Oracle R Enterprise Database-Embedded R Engine.)
The SQL functions are
You can also code an rqGroupEval() Function function.
rq*:Eval()functions have the same syntax:
rq*Eval( cursor(select * from table-1, cursor(select * from table-2, 'select <column list> from table-3 t', <grouping col-name from table-1 or num_rows>, 'function(x,param) { registered-R-code ] ')
The first cursor is the input cursor: Input is passed as a whole table, group, or one row as a time to the R closure described in the fourth parameter.
The second cursor is the parameters cursor: One value can be passed (that is, collection of the models to be implemented.
The query specifies the output table definition; if this parameter is NULL, output is a BLOB; output can also be XML.
grouping col-name is optional; it provides the name of the grouping column
num_rows is optional; it provides then number of rows to provide to the functions at one time.
registeredR-code is a registered version of the R function to execute. See Registering R Scripts for details.
The following examples illustrate using these functions:
This example uses all rows from the table
fish as input to the R function that takes no other parameters and produces
output that contains all input data plus the ROWSUM of values.
Note that both
input(x) and parameters (
param) to the R function is optional.
select * from table(rqTableEval( cursor(select * from fish), NULL, 'select t.*, 1 rowsum from fish t', 'function(x, param) { dat <- data.frame(x, stringsAsFactors=F) cbind(dat, ROWSUM = apply(dat,1,sum)) }'));
This example illustrates passing n=1 (4th parameter) row at a time from the table
fish to the R function. No parameters are required by the function. The function generates ROWSUM which is added as an extra column to
fish in the output.
select * from table(rqRowEval( cursor(select * from fish), NULL, 'select t.*, 1 rowsum from fish t', 1, 'function(x, param) { dat <- data.frame(x, stringsAsFactors=F) cbind(dat, ROWSUM = apply(dat,1,sum)+10) }'));
There is no
rqGroupEval() function as such. You must define a private version of
rqGroupEval() based on the data and grouping column. This is the limitation of the table function infrastructure.
Here is an example based on the ONTIME_S sample data. The data cursor uses all data, but you could also define cursors that use some columns using PL/SQL records. Then you must define as many table functions as the number of grouping columns that you are interested in using for a particular data cursor:
CREATE PACKAGE ontimePkg AS TYPE cur IS REF CURSOR RETURN ontime_s%ROWTYPE; END ontimePkg; / CREATE FUNCTION ontimeGroupEval( inp_cur ontimePkg.cur, par_cur SYS_REFCURSOR, out_qry VARCHAR2, grp_col VARCHAR2, exp_txt CLOB) RETURN SYS.AnyDataSet PIPELINED PARALLEL_ENABLE (PARTITION inp_cur BY HASH (month)) CLUSTER inp_cur BY (month) USING rqGroupEvalImpl; /
At this time, only one grouping column is supported. If you have multiple columns you combine the columns into one column and use the new column as a grouping column. PARALLEL_ENABLE clause is optional but CLUSTER BY is not.
For security purposes, you must first register the R script under some system unique name and use new name instead of the actual script in the call to
rq*Eval table functions.
There are two administrative functions that create and drop scripts and a view that lists scripts:
sys.rq_scripts view allows you to list and use scripts that were created
The scripts and the view require grants as described in Roles Required to Create and Use Scripts.
Here is an example of registering the scripts and using the registered scripts:
begin sys.rqScriptCreate('tmrqfun2', 'function() { ID <- 1:10 res <- data.frame(ID = ID, RES = ID / 100) res }'); end; / select * from table(rqEval( NULL, 'select 1 id, 1 res from dual', 'tmrqfun2')); begin sys.rqScriptDrop('tmrqfun2'); end;
To execute
sys.rqScriptCreate and
sys.rqScriptDrop, you must be granted the administrative role RQADMIN.
Select privilege for the
sys.rq_scripts view is granted to RQROLE role.
The RQADMIN and RQROLE role are created when you Install Server on Linux
Oracle R Enterprise is shipped with a collection of examples that illustrate how to use Oracle R Enterprise. These examples are a collection of self-contained R scripts.
Most of the sample programs use the data frame
iris, which is included in the R distribution.
iris is loaded into a table as described in Load Data Frame to a Table.
The rest of this section describes two examples in detail and includes a list of all examples:
Follow these steps to load an R data frame to a database table:
Starts R, load the ORE packages via library(ORE), and then connect to the database. The latter steps are automatic if Rprofile is in place.
Most of these examples use the R data frame
iris. iris is shipped with R. Use the R command
class to verify that
iris is an R data frame:
R> class(iris) [1] "data.frame"
iris consist of measurements of parts of iris flowers. Use the R command
head to see a small sample of the data in
R> head(iris) Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 setosa 2 4.9 3.0 1.4 0.2 setosa 3 4.7 3.2 1.3 0.2 setosa 4 4.6 3.1 1.5 0.2 setosa 5 5.0 3.6 1.4 0.2 setosa 6 5.4 3.9 1.7 0.4 setosa
Now load the data frame
iris into the database that you are connected to.
In these examples, the database table version of
iris is named IRIS_TABLE. Drop IRIS_TABLE to make sure that no table of this name exists in the connected schema:
ore.drop(table = "IRIS_TABLE")
If IRIS_TABLE doesn't exist, you do not get a message.
Now create a database table with the data contained in
ore.create(iris, table = "IRIS_TABLE")
ore.ls() to verify that the table was created:
R> ore.ls() [1] "IRIS_TABLE" "NARROW" "ONTIME_S"
IRIS_TABLE is a database-resident table with just metadata on the R side:
R> class(IRIS_TABLE) [1] "ore.frame" attr(,"package") [1] "OREbase"
head to see the column names and the first few values in IRIS_TABLE:
R> head(IRIS_TABLE) SEPAL_LENGTH SEPAL_WIDTH PETAL_LENGTH PETAL_WIDTH SPECIES 0 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 setosa 1 4.9 3.0 1.4 0.2 setosa 2 4.7 3.2 1.3 0.2 setosa 3 4.6 3.1 1.5 0.2 setosa 4 5.0 3.6 1.4 0.2 setosa 5 5.4 3.9 1.7 0.4 setosa
Use mode to see the data type of the column SPECIES.
mode(IRIS_TABLE$SPECIES) [1] "raw"
Some algorithms only work if all of the data is numerical. Follow these steps to create IRIS_TABLE_N that does not contain SPECIES, the nonnumeric column:
IRIS_TABLE_N=IRIS_TABLE[,c("SEPAL_LENGTH", "SEPAL_WIDTH", "PETAL_LENGTH", "PETAL_WIDTH")]
You can use R functions to analyze the data in the table. Here are some simple examples taken from the example
unique to get a list of the unique entries in a column. This example find the unique SPECIES:
R> unique(IRIS_TABLE$SPECIES) [1] setosa versicolor virginica Levels: setosa versicolor virginica
Find the minimum, maximum, and mean of PETAL_LENGTH:
R> min(IRIS_TABLE$PETAL_LENGTH) [1] 1 R> max(IRIS_TABLE$PETAL_LENGTH) [1] 6.9 R> mean(IRIS_TABLE$PETAL_LENGTH) [1] 3.758
If you need information about an R function, use the command
The sample
null.R is the only sample that does not use
iris as data.
null.R compares the handling of NULLs in SQL with the handling of NAs in R.
In R, NA is a logical constant of length 1 which contains a missing value indicator. In the database, null refers to the absence of a value in a column of a row. Nulls indicate missing, unknown, or inapplicable data.
Follow these steps to execute the sample:
This example uses the data frame
airquality. Verify that the data set is a data frame and look at the few rows of the data frame:
R> class(airquality) [1] "data.frame" R> head(airquality) Ozone Solar.R Wind Temp Month Day 1 41 190 7.4 67 5 1 2 36 118 8.0 72 5 2 3 12 149 12.6 74 5 3 4 18 313 11.5 62 5 4 5 NA NA 14.3 56 5 5 6 28 NA 14.9 66 5 6
airquality into the database as "AIRQUALITY":
ore.drop(table = "AIRQUALITY") ore.create(airquality, table = "AIRQUALITY")
ore.ls() to verify that the table was created. If you wish, use
class(AIRQUALITY) to verify that
AIRQUALITY is a database-resident table with just metadata on the R side.
Examine how R handles NAs. Return all observations where ozone < 30:
R> nrow(airquality[airquality$Ozone < 30,])[1] 92
Compare this with the results when NAs are explicitly excluded:
R> nrow(airquality[airquality$Ozone < 30 & !is.na(airquality$Ozone),]) [1] 55
The default behavior for SQL tables is to exclude NULLS in output:
nrow(AIRQUALITY[AIRQUALITY$OZONE < 30,]) [1] 55
To handle NULLs the same way that R handles NA, request the behavior explicitly:
options(ore.na.extract = TRUE) nrow(AIRQUALITY[AIRQUALITY$OZONE < 30,]) [1] 92
These scripts have been added as demos to the ORE package.
To access a complete listing of them type
R> demo(package = "ORE")
To run one of these scripts, specify the name of the demo in a
demo function call. For example, to run
aggregate.R, type
R> demo("aggregate", package = "ORE")
These examples are shipped with Oracle R Enterprise:
table_apply.R Execute R code on all rows of a table passed in at once aggregate.R Demonstrates aggregations. See also summary.R analysis.R Demonstrates basic analysis and data processing operations basic.R Demonstrates basic connectivity to database binning.R Demonstrates binning in R columnfns.R Demonstrates use of column functions corr.R Correlation matrix (Pearson's, Spearman/Kendalls) crosstab.R Frequency cross-tabulations.

Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park
[ 9/10 ]
Best kept secret on the East Coast. Very nice park. We camp here at least once a year. Very wooded with a natural look. Most sites are divided by natural growth. 50 amp sites are limited, but we have had our 40' on most of them. Some sites are not level but are doable. Facilities are dated but are maintained well. Restrooms and showers are also dated but kept clean as long as you remember you are on the beach and sand is everywhere. Sand gets tracked into the restrooms. Best part is how quiet the park is and how close you are to a fabulous beach. Staff and host campers are friendly and do most anything to keep campers happy. There is a small store. Close to all supplies, restaurants, groceries, movies, etc. Military BX and Commissary within a mile and is off base. Excellent value especially if you like the beach.
Natural Bridge Station, Virginia
Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp-Resort at Natural Bridge
[ 5/10 ]
We have camped here twice, but will not return. No site is level and both sites we have had, we have had to raise a wheel or two off the ground to get level. The overnighters are stuck out on the "back forty" and a long walk to the amenities like the pool and store. The employees are not friendly. This might be a good destination campground if you want to spend a lot of money.
Union Grove, North Carolina
Van Hoy Farms Family Campground
[ 8/10 ]
Best value on I-77. Super people own/manage the park. Very nice pool. Only a few site are available as many are taken by seasonal or permanent. No site is level. Some shade.
Sherrills Ford, North Carolina
Lake Norman Motor Coach Resort
[ 5/10 ]
As others have said, this park is way overpriced. All sites are very small and mostly concrete. One way in one way out. No turn around. Have to unhook your car at the gate and back up to turn around. Like camping in a parking lot with hook ups and a view. We will NOT go back.
Lumberton, North Carolina
Sleepy Bear's RV Park
[ 5/10 ]
Friendly staff. Long, flat pull through sites. Very close to busy I-95 so the traffic noise is loud. AC power went off 6 times in less than 12 hours. No extended outage but had to reset everything. Wi-Fi was strong but dropped out constantly. Was not usable and no help from office. Park and all facilities are very dated. We would not stop here again.
Orange City, Florida
Orange City RV Resort
[ 10/10 ]
Clean, quiet, well groomed park. Primarily a long term park (most in Florida are) they have 20 pull- throughs for short timers as well as back in mixed in with the long term residents. Most long terms are neat, some are old but clean and neat. Common areas are very nice including the pool, spa, laundry, and club house. Good cable with lots of channels. Wi-Fi drops out sometimes. Some sites have cement pads and some have shade. Rate is Camp Club USA. We would stay here again.
Natural Bridge Station, Virginia
Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp-Resort at Natural Bridge
[ 8/10 ]
Nice park. Lots of room. Kid friendly. Staff was indifferent. Over night lots were not level and I had to lift one dual off the ground to get level. Good cable TV and WiFi. Quiet park. We will stay here again but will be more selective about a site.
Brunswick, Georgia
Golden Isles Vacation Park
[ 9/10 ]
Nice clean, quiet, convenient. Sites level. The sites near the office have best Wi-Fi signal, but toward the back the sites are much larger. Good cable. Friendly staff. Only "fly" was a very strong sulfur smell with the water. So bad we elected not to wash clothes. Restrooms and laundry are well built but in need of a good cleaning. Rate is Camp Club. We would stay here again overnight.
Ravenna, Ohio
Country Acres Campground
[ 9/10 ]
This is a very beautiful park. We were the only overnighter there and most of the sites seem to be permanent and occupied on week-ends. The pool was closed. There are only 18 full hook ups. They do have their own sewer treatment plant but no sites were close enough to notice it this time of year. Our pull-through was long and we leveled easily. Wi-Fi is very good and antenna TV is good also. Our rate was CCUSA. We will stay here again.
Marengo, Illinois
Lehman's Lakeside RV Resort
[ 8/10 ]
The is a large attractive park with three sections. A gated permanent section, a nice section for "monthlies" (section B), and a pull through section for over nighters (section A). The "lakefront" sites are not for transients but I asked for and received a nice wide site on a pond in section B. The pull throughs are not very level, the "all paved roads" means main roads, and copious amounts of animal waste litter many sites and common areas. The most undesirable aspect of this park is the foul water which has a metallic odor, taste, and look. One of few parks in the area. Near I-90. Restrooms are adequate but not clean.
Welcome, Minnesota
Checkers Welcome Campground
[ 9/10 ]
We have been on the road for 4 months. This park is positively the best value we have seen. Pull-throughs are pretty, long, wide, and shady. Very convenient to interstate but very quiet. Owners are friendly and helpful. WiFi is adequate. TV by antenna is minimal. No amenities but a great place to rest. Rate is Camp Club. We would definitely stay here again.
Center Point, Iowa
Lazy Acres RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
Beautifully planned and maintained park. Very long and wide grass sites with gravel roads and pads, but no shade. Good WiFi and over the antenna TV. Cable TV is planned. Only thing missing is a pool/spa. Close to interstate but little noise. GPS directions were wrong. Very friendly host/owners. Rate is 1 night Camp Club and 1 night Good Sam discount. We would stay here again.
Mitchell, South Dakota
Famil-E-Fun Campground and RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
Friendly owners, escorted us to the site. It is very close to I-90. It features, shady, attractive, and grassy sites. There is a nice pool. The WiFi was marginal but we were in a far corner of the park. There is TV over the air for about 3 or 4 channels. The GPS instructions are wrong and there are no signs at I-90 exit. Trust the campground book directions as campground is just south of Interstate. We would stay here again but would ask for a site in the back away from interstate noise.
Sturgis, South Dakota
Rush-No-More RV Park & Campground
[ 9/10 ]
Beautiful, quiet campground 1 mile off interstate. Most others we saw were right on the roads. Stayed in the upper campground to be level. No one else was here Labor Day weekend. Short walk to lower campground and amenities was worth the beauty. Got 2 or 3 channels over the air. Good WiFi. Wide variety of sites from tents to concrete pads with bar-b-que and hot tub. Great hosts. We will stay here again.
Island Park, Idaho
RedRock RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
The only two things we didn't like about our stay was the weather and the side by side hook-ups. This caused the driver's side to be pretty close to your neighbor. Parking to the far right can help. The owners and the host campers were very friendly and helpful. Our beautiful view was blocked by only clouds and rain. The restrooms were always neat and clean. Owners stated that the campers who were asked to leave because of flooded bathrooms were caused by their kids removing shower heads and having a water fight. No TV or phone, very quiet.
Hardin, Montana
Grandview Campground & RV Park
[ 6/10 ]
The office sent us to two sites that were occupied, then one without water before we picked out our own site and told them where we were. Our "Grandview" was a large metal building and a big pile of dirt. The sites were level and average size. WiFi was slow but cable TV was good.
Arco, Idaho
Mountain View RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
Beautiful park: was quiet, with very large sites. Cafe on site with free breakfast during season. Supper is adequate, reasonable, and convenient. TV from antenna. Fair WiFi. Free putt-putt.
Hermiston, Oregon
Pioneer RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
Clean, neat, crowded park. As other have stated, has narrow roads and sites, rocks guard the grass, trucks and cars crowd the roads. Quiet if your are in the back. Excellent cable TV. Camp Club USA rate. We were able to park 40' Class A and dingy.
Silverlake, Washington
Silver Cove Resort
[ 9/10 ]
New park. Large but neat and clean. A variety of level sites. Quiet, wooded area although most sites don't have shade. Good Wi-Fi, "minor" cable but good reception. Friendly staff. 40 miles from Mt. St. Helens.
Astoria, Oregon
Lewis & Clark Golf & RV Park
[ 6/10 ]
Beautifully landscaped and very well maintained: a very attractive park. The full hook-ups are in. No other amenities except for the golf course. Bath rooms looked to be almost finished. WiFi only worked with Windows 7, not with XP. Good cable TV. We were put in a "premium, golf course view, pull in site." Another motor home was backed in next to us and 8' away from our door. Price was higher than we were quoted on the phone. We were told $54 on the phone for two nights but were charged $64. Nice, but over priced.
Coos Bay, Oregon
Midway RV Park at Coos Bay
[ 6/10 ]
This is a well maintained, busy campground. All areas are black-topped except for a few strips of vegetation between sites. We were assigned to a site near the road and always heard traffic noise. Our site was 40' long and 30' wide with an eight foot high hedge on three sides so we didn't have to look at the dirty, poor maintained trailers on either side of us. The folks who ran the park were friendly and accommodating as we changed our reservations twice. Our picnic table was broken and unusable. Our rate was half priced as we are Camp Club USA members.
Lincoln City, Oregon
Chinook Bend RV Resort
[ 6/10 ]
Quiet and off Hwy 101, 3 miles, easy to find. Has a half mile rock road to campground from the office. Sites are mostly level. There were no animals in the campground. The 50 amp sites are all rock. 30 amp sites have grass. Some shade. Typical of the Oregon coast, campground was windy in the PM and chilly for July. No internet or Wi-Fi in the campground. Some cable TV channels had very poor reception. Walking trails needed much TLC. "Golf Course" was a lawnmower path 5' wide ran through a pasture of grass 18" high. They called it "Pitch and Chip" and charged extra. Had docks and a boat ramp. Nice fish camp but we weren't here during fishing season. However, we would go back if in the area.

brilliant: Man I miss arrested development...
Sheet..: What a Super "butfuck lover" gay Dude that is.
RIP Arrested Development: Best show on American TV since Seinfeld, and just like with any great show, the network canceled it 3rd season. This was a great spoof by the way, Michael Cera has great comedic timing.

Targeting women's right to vote may be the undoing of extreme governance and an opportunity to take care of constitutionally unfinished business for women – an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). The newly declared war on the right of women in NC to vote looks to be the match to the fuse in the renewed push for passing an ERA.
UPDATE: Linda Sanchez and Louise Roybal-Allard are now cosponsors of HJ Res 43. As Progressives we should all be outraged that of the 15 members of the Progressive Caucus from California, there are 5 (3) who have not co-sponsored Representative Rob Andrews legislation, HJ Res 43, removing the deadline for the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. Unacceptable. They are well aware of the legislation and we must alert them to this fact.
A Major Victory for ERA (Equal Rights Amendment) advocates happened today as Senator Elizabeth Warren becomes the 32nd co-sponsor on Senator Ben Cardin's bi-partisan bill, SJRES15 to remove the deadline to ratify the ERA.
In the spirit of Moral Mondays the Onslow County Democratic Party announced that this Monday's demonstration on October 28th will focus on pushing back against the wave of legislation negatively impacting women's rights to include the targeting of their voting rights. Demonstrators are civilly rallying from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm outside the Jacksonville City Hall at 815 New Bridge Street to support the passage of an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) checking state laws that are eroding women's rights.
The new push to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) continues to grow as word spreads about the effort to get the Obama Administration to take a stand on the issue of equal rights for women. The ERA 2013 Action Campaign and its partner, ERA NOW, seek to gather 25,000 signatures on an official White House petition to trigger an official response from the Obama Administration, now needs only 4600 signatures by February 9th.

Pacman Jones and Matt Jones in the Cowboys plans for '09?
It has been reported on ESPN.com and ProFootballTalk.com that Jerry Jones said he's considering bring back Adam Jones, although he calls it a long shot. Jones was heard asking a reporter for the Fort Worth Star Telegram…
"Would you beat me up too bad if I brought back Adam?"
I can answer that question. YES!!!! With all the positive things Jerry Jones has done this off season why ruin it with bringing Pacman back? I believe the team is heading in the right direction with the youth that they have in the secondary. Let the guys who are hungry and have that fire play. Not someone who can't stay out of trouble. I'm excited with Mike Jenkins and Orlando Scandrick going into their second seasons and even more excited for our rookies Mike Mickens and DeAngelo Smith. Although Smith will be playing mostly safety, he is still an option at cornerback. If Jerry Jones wants another veteran than I still say he should go out and see about signing Chris McAlister.
In other news ProFootballTalk.com has reported that Dallas has no interest in former Jacksonville Jaguar wide receiver Matt Jones. I would put Matt Jones right up there with Pacman. Leave him alone. The Cowboys do not need him. And I really hope the idea of Plaxico Burress does not pop-up anywhere.
On a lighter side of things. For everyone out there who like me will keep walking by the magazine stands waiting for those first preseason magazines…well, your wait is over. Yesterday I found two and of course bought them. Early season predictions don't even have the Cowboys making the playoffs which I love. Let's stay under that radar all season. Athlon Pro Football magazine has the Patriots beating the Eagles in Super Bowl XLIV. Also, because I'm NY Mediocre Manning is on the cover, so I was a little childish and cut out the head of Homer Simpson and put it over Eli's head. It looks pretty good. I just couldn't help myself. If only I lived in the Dallas area where Romo will be on the cover!!
Sounds like a bit of sarcasm from our fearless leader there and outside of maybe bringing in a veteran CB I think this is pretty much what the roster will look like in Tampa opening weekend.
im with ya. no more troublemakers. let the cowboys open the new stadium as a new and improved team with no tollerance for boneheads.
We have enough Jones' leave the punk ones alone, we dont need the baggage and drama!
Oh Hell Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Matt & Pac should play in Philly.
The only Pac Man allowed in Dallas is the video game.
Sorry wrong link.

About Us
SASSL is a student-run organization offering support to survivors of sexual assault, as well as their friends and family.
We provide a listening ear, information and referrals over the phone or in person, with a 24-hour phone line and walk-in location in our Student Centre office (B449).SASSL staff and volunteers do outreach – workshops, tabling, posters, talks and events – to educate the broader community about sexual assault and related issues.
SASSL volunteers are trained in a variety of areas to recognize the diversity that shapes everyday life in the GTA. We know that all types of factors influence people's lives and choices. SASSL aims to promote equity, and create a space where everyone has a voice that is expressed, heard, recognized and respected equally.
- Pro-Survivor – SASSL offers unbiased and nonjudgmental support to survivors of all genders. We do not question the caller's experience, or criticize them for their past or present actions.
- Pro-Diversity – SASSL supports people of all backgrounds, cultures, abilities, genders, sexualities, and perspectives. We work to resist individuals, institutions, and ideas of oppression!
- Pro-Feminist – SASSL acknowledges the imbalance of power between gender in our society, resulting in the fact that the majority of (not all) perpetrators of sexual assault are men, and the majority of (not all) survivors are women.
SASSL was founded in 1995 with the support of the York University administration. The original motivation came from York's Sexual Harassment Education and Complaint Centre (SHEACC) who realized that there was a critical need for emergency support for survivors of sexual assault.
SASSL received funding from groups such as the Campus Safety for Women Grant, the Work Study Program, and the Graduate Assistant Program. Then in 1999 SASSL was elected by York students to receive a $2.10 tuition levy in order to maintain the presence of this important organization on campus.
Over the last 16 years we have welcomed more than 350 student volunteers and staff members, from a diversity of York's programs, creating a positive space for one another and the greater student body.

It's no secret that Louisville will key in on Draymond Green on Thursday, here's a little bit of what was said about him at today's press conference from Louisville.
Rick Pitino on the match-up problems that exist with Green
Well, that's just it, his position, I'm not sure what his position is. If they need somebody to run a pick-and-roll, if they need a post up, post up. If they need a guy to take a bounce, he does that. He's about the most complete player in college basketball in terms of all phases of the game.
Center Gorgui Dieng on containing Green
Michigan State is a great team. Draymond Green is a top-three player in the country. We're going to try to find a game plan to stop them. We're going to try and match up with them and play."
Dieng went on to talk about the depth of the rest of the Spartans saying there are a lot of players who do "little things."
Forward Chane Behanan on defending Green
"They're looking for me to limit (Green's) touches, limit him on the offensive glass, defensive glass. They gave me that job as a freshman, so I have to have the mindset of a veteran. Just get the job done and move on to the Elite Eight."
Thursday's game tips off at 7:47 from Phoenix and will air on TBS.
The Spartans are favored by 5 points.

I knew Hollywood was racist, but I didn't know it was this racist. (Basically- George Lucas had to fund his new film himself because none of the studios would back a film with an all-black cast.) Pretty disgusting, ain't it.
Also: I'm a rariety among Star Wars fans in that I honestly like and admire Lucas. From what I've seen of him he seems to be a pretty neat guy (who commited the apparently unforgiveable sin of never being happy with his film creations). I hope this film is a success, and, like he says, it will open the door for more films like it.

WEKA Insulation is proud to announce the new sheep wool panel manufacturing line strategically located in Italy to make products for the booming European home remodeling market.
The WEKA production facility is a joint venture with IDEP, which is just 50 miles North of Venice. Wool is available in highest quality from Tuscany and Sardegna, biolime is produced in the Dolomites.
About WEKA Insulation
The product lauded by BULDERSnews Magazine as "Best Products of the Year 2008″ came to the USA through "TasserTechnologies", and immediately caught the attention of peoples "green" and "wallet-conscious" sensibilities. WEKA Sheep Wool Panels are insulated panels made from sheep's wool and a natural alkaline binder developed by Walter Tasser of Pfalzen, Italy. The insulating material utilizes the properties of wool (wolle) as well as a natural stabilizer (kalk, hence WEKA), which accomplishes the following:
- Saves energy and heating/cooling costs
- Enhances fire resistance
- Improves in-door air quality by absorbing certain air contaminants
- Provides resistance to pests and fungi by its natural ability to draw in moisture
- Lowers impact on the environment due to no thermal treatment or chemical processing and is fully recyclable
- Provides LEED points for contractors: Thermal Comfort (2pt); Rapidly renewable material (1pt); Innovation and design process: light, recyclabe (5 pt); Optimize energy performance (2pt); Use of local materials
Because these panels can be mounted on existing walls or used in new builds, the need for insulation and dry walling is eliminated, reducing the overall budget of a project. Besides budgetary considerations the ability for a product to positively affect the environment and its resources is priority for most homeowners. In addition to the aforementioned "green" positives above, the use of wool in this product is providing a new source of income and stability for wool farmers and suppliers, and increasing the exchange of local and sustainable sources of insulation materials.

Alex Smith confirmed he and the Chiefs are in talks about a contract extension with the team, but he doesn't sound like he's in a huge rush to get a deal done. He discussed the possibility of an extension yesterday at a press conference.
My agent handles all of that, and that's why you hire that guy to take care of that, so you can focus on football. It's really not my place. I have a contract for this year.
I've played long enough, going into year 10 now, it's all year-to-year in my mind anyway at this point. You've got to continually prove yourself. I don't think it changes anything as far as my mindset or approach to the game.
It wouldn't be completely stunning to me if the Chiefs worked out a deal with Justin Houston before a deal was reached with Smith. In fact it may be in Smith's best interest to play out the remainder of his current deal and put up some more career high numbers heading into a free agent year. Either he gets franchised (a huge one-year pay day) or he gets a long-term commitment from someone either in free agency or from the Chiefs.
We'll get a really good idea of where the Chiefs feel like they stand at quarterback in the draft, especially if one of the top quarterbacks fall to the Chiefs with their 23rd overall pick. Passing on a quarterback and taking another flier like Tyler Bray with a late pick or in undrafted free agency should signal the Chiefs feel confident they'll be bringing Smith back. Taking a Bridgewater or spending one of their high or mid-round picks on a quarterback adds a lot of uncertainty with Smith.
Building a franchise around Smith in the way New England has done with Tom Brady or Indianapolis is doing with Andrew Luck would not be a smart idea. However, Smith has proven to be a more than capable quarterback in Andy Reid's system. His performance in the playoff game against Indianapolis may be one of the best ever by a Chiefs quarterback, and one of the better games by a Kansas City quarterback since Trent Green left town. With the right defense and offensive weapons around him, he's more than capable of leading a Super Bowl run.
Will that Super Bowl run come in Kansas City is the question.

While some may argue that the NFL, NBA, MLB, and international soccer games are the most enjoyable to watch live, there simply isn't anything that beats seeing an NHL game live.
Ok, so maybe I haven't gone to enough of these games to make that accusation. I've been to one NFL game (tickets are TOUGH to get), 3-4 NBA games (maybe only paid for one), and about 4-6 Mets games (yeah I know, those Mets).
As my bio suggests I'm not a season ticket holder or a fan that can recall the golden years from the early 2000s. I am entering my first year of college and I'm still 17 (granted only for a couple more months). The NHL season rings in my 18th birthday with style as I can kick back and enjoy Opening Day as my birthday gift.
This year, now that I am apart of Fansided and Pucks and Pitchforks, I decided that I will cut back on those pesky video games that cost so much money like a good college student should and put it to more mature, thoughtful things.
By that, I mean going to some Devils games this year of course. While my hopes of going to the home opener vaporized before my eyes (waited too long, now it's too expensive), I saw it as an opportunity to put that money into more games. My ultimate goal for this year is at least 3-5 low level games.
Yeah, those are games against distant, slightly irrelevant teams like the Oilers, Coyotes, and Blue Jackets but it is better than nothing, right?
I have to hand it to the Prudential Center's designers because it is such a nice arena to be in. There is a reason why the Devils are Jersey's Team: in the outer, indoor portions of the arena where you can walk they have every NJ high school's hockey jersey including my town and it was really humbling to see my little, seemingly irrelevant town be showcased for all of the Tri-State Area (and more) to see.
Then you get to your seat and you hear the organ play tunes that you surely heard on the radio on the way to Newark. You see everyone in their red, white, and black (and unfortunately sometimes red, blue, orange, and a yellowish Pittsburgh-type color that I can't quite think of the name of….ah yes mustard is probably right) and you feel that everyone is there for the same reason: to watch an exciting hockey game.
Then there's the intro. It is always unique to every team but really gets you pumped for the game that is about to happen. I was looking for videos of these intros yesterday and I came across one here (skip to a minute in if you wanna jump to the intro video) that was shown before a Devils, Rangers game (all credit goes to the person who uploaded it).
When you are at the game, you hear the music, you see the history, and most importantly Henrique's goal, you know that it is going to be intense tonight.
Then, the roof explodes before the game even starts.
Easily the most ominous noise for a sporting event and one that AC/DC will be forever known by, similar to Queen and We Will Rock You's *Stomp Stomp Clap* theme.
Now, as you see in the video, everyone starts the booing and hissing when the Rangers come out and everyone that's a Devils fan is united in doing this. Once the Devils come out, led by the Hall-of-Famer Brodeur, the atmosphere is absolutely electric.
And this is all before the puck even drops.

This topic is near and dear to my heart and is easily the most personal article I have posted since I started on Pucks and Pitchforks in June.
