Advansa SASA, a leading textile manufacturer base in Turkey, has a large facility, campus, and texturized yarn factory in Adana, as well as a fiber factory in Germany. In 2002, the company began using a SAP ERP infrastructure operating on a UNIX platform with database server that was commonly used with SAP. The company had major concerns about the total cost of ownership for the system and management risks in outsourcing to maintain the UNIX platform and existing database. To address these issues, Advansa SASA ultimately migrated to Microsoft SQL Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Intel-based hardware. By using the new solution, Advansa SASA has increased system performance by 20 percent, cut hardware and maintenance costs, and reduced database size through data compression. The company calculates that it is saving 30 percent, or about U.S.$150,000, in total cost of ownership over five years.
Textile manufacturer Advansa SASA has a multicompany structure. Advansa SASA BV is a Netherlands-based organization, under whose umbrella Advansa SASA GmBH is responsible for the management of a factory in Germany. Advansa SASA Marketing is responsible for marketing in Europe, and Advansa SASA is the central organization in Turkey.
He adds that in recent times investments have been moved toward the chemistry segment, and in the last three years the ratio of chemical industry activities to overall activities has increased from 15 percent to 40 percent. During this process, Advansa SASA has become the regional leader in Europe and in Turkey as well, especially in fiber. "In artificial and synthetic yarn, we have very important brands, such as Termolite and Coolmax," says Demir.
Demir, provides the following information on the IT infrastructure: "There are two separate IT infrastructures under Advansa SASA BV, one in Germany and the other in Turkey. Our colleagues working in Germany's IT department report to me and provide support to all of our offices in Germany, France, and Spain. The IT group in Turkey is located on our campus in Adana. All of our systems are also located in Adana and provide support to all the other regions. Advansa SASA is known for its leadership both in production and information technologies. In the past, we were among the top 10 companies in Turkey. We made several investments in our IT systems, and when we completed our ERP project in January 2002, we became the leader in the industry."
During that period, the most important reason for the company to choose SAP was that its partner DuPont, was using SAP. In 2002, Advansa SASA implemented all SAP modules with 500 users. Early that year, the company switched to the SAP ERP infrastructure. Demir says, "We started to use a database of another international software technology manufacturer, which is used commonly with SAP, on a UNIX operating platform. We continued with this up until three years ago. The expenses we incurred for hardware and license fees, as well as our hardware and maintenance costs, were much higher than those for Intel-based servers. We decided to use an Intel-based Microsoft application platform."
Demir indicates that the IT group often brought forward the issue of migrating to Microsoft SQL Server data management software, but they were waiting for the development of the product. "When we decided to isolate the chemistry division of our organization in order to sell it, the problem of a cost-intensive SAP installation arose, because we were going to be two separate companies from then on. During that period, we conducted a study regarding the migration of Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and the installation of two different SQL systems based on real data. But we were not sure whether we were going to be able to achieve the performance we expected. Thus, by making an expensive hardware investment, dividing the existing database into two, and copying the same system on the other side as well, and making some changes, we built the second system. Later, in 2006, we sold that company, which we had already separated from our organization."
The biggest deadlock at Advansa SASA regarding the existing database server was primarily the cost. The system's total cost of ownership was very high, but for an organization like Advansa SASA the issue of management risk was of even more significant. Demir says, "Since the beginning, we have had difficulty finding staff specialized in UNIX and the existing database. Since 2002, we have benefited from outsourcing to some companies, but the related costs were very high. Moreover, this was a risk for us because there was an external dependency regarding the issues that had to be taken care of night and day. For Advansa SASA, which had inherited DuPont's culture, these were considered big risks. The issue of outsourcing was always brought forward during each annual evaluation meeting, creating problems in these areas regarding the total cost of ownership (which is almost 30 percent), annual maintenance costs, as well as the ease of management and reducing external dependency. We believed that the best way to eliminate such problems would be migration to the Microsoft platform."
In 2006, Advansa SASA decided to migrate to Microsoft SQL Server 2005. Demir says that it is very critical for the company to use SQL Server, especially on the database side.
Demir emphasizes that they hadn't underestimated the easiness that was going to be brought by Windows platform, and considered that they could manage some issues more easily, such as copying and disaster recovery on this platform. "We assessed several advantages that came with Microsoft technologies. There was a certain cost of migration. In the past, these costs were very high. Then, with the skills of our consultant FIT, recognized for its specialty in SAP, we have reduced these costs to almost zero. In 2006, when we carried out global research into this subject, I remember that a British company made us a proposal of 100,000 euros for migration. FIT accomplished much more than what the British company could have, and with lower costs at that."
Onur Altıntaş, Microsoft Customer Representative, states that in recently working very closely with FIT he has seen the difference generated by the company. "FIT offers high-quality consulting services in a special niche area that requires very considerable expertise. SAP consulting has many branches. FIT provides consulting on the technology and the installation side and in this highly sensitive area it has gained the confidence of our customers."
In the last phase of the company's database migration, Demir states that it has migrated from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2008 Enterprise and from Windows Server 2005 to Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise. This deployment was completed in November 2009. Now they are in the process of making SAP compatible in order to benefit from the features provided by Windows Server 2008 R2.
"We conducted preliminary work for the migration for almost six months and have been using it for two weeks," said Demir in an interview on November 20, 2009. "After we received the approval for the project from our upper management, we carried out some procedures that depend on the database or the operating system. These were, in particular, floor and MIS procedures on the production side, which we had to make independent from the platform. We were unable to make all of them independent, but we carried out an inventory study to enable them to function without any problems.
"Under normal conditions, we were aiming at completing the migration by January 1, 2010, but due to the application of the SAP New General Ledger, which we are operating now, we decided to migrate in November. In September, we got in touch with FIT consulting, one of the Microsoft solution partners, and in the second week of that month we created a test system. As Sabancı ERP's test group, we tested all of our activities and operations. In reality, what we had done there was migration," says Demir. Hüseyin Bilgen, an FIT Technology Consultant, says that all the data was copied for the test and as such they migrated twice: one was the test and the other was live.
"We hardly experienced any problems during the test," says Demir, adding that they found this situation suspicious and made a very detailed scanning. For this reason, they had to postpone the migration of the project for a week. However, they didn't experience any problems during the live migration.
By migrating to SQL Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, Advansa SASA has increased system performance by 20 percent, cut hardware and maintenance costs, and reduced database size by more than 40 percent. The company calculates that it is saving 30 percent, or about U.S.$150,000, in total cost of ownership over five years.
"We are moving on with zero problems," says Demir with pleasure. "After migrating to Windows Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2008 on Intel-based hardware—even though we have selected hardware that in terms of cost of ownership cost half as much as previously—we have achieved almost 20 percent improvement in performance. If we also measure the buffer effects, I believe the performance has increased by 30 percent."
"We calculated the total cost of ownership for a period of five years and saw that we achieved a 30 percent gain through migration to SQL Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2," says Demir. "When we include the costs of maintenance, this ratio increases. We are aiming to carry out this measurement over time. If we take the maintenance cost out of the picture and look solely at the cost of ownership with a five-year depreciation, we achieve a 30 percent savings rate. The maintenance costs of UNIX-based systems were much more than the Intel-based ones. Moreover, because we are owned by Sabancı Holding, we have the power of entering into contracts with better prices compared with the market. Nonetheless, the 30 percent savings obtained within five years is considerable, its financial equivalent is approximately U.S.$150,000 in expenses, cost of maintenance and ownership, if we consider only the past two or three years."
Advansa SASA uses the compression feature of SQL Server 2008, which reduces the existing database size from 700 gigabytes (GB) to 390 GB. "The smaller size is very important in terms of performance: we aimed to protect our gains with the compression feature provided by the former UNIX-based infrastructure," says Demir. "The more the size decreases, the more the performance increases, because reading from the hard drive slows the system down. We are very happy that we used the SQL Server 2008 data compression feature, which protected and even improved the previous gains. If another platform or SQL Server 2005 had been used here, the database would have definitely been increased by an additional 30–40 percent."
Altıntaş remarks that due to the fact that Windows Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2008 operate together, there have been many benefits. "The combination of Windows Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2008, what we call the Microsoft Application Platform, provides many benefits since they are the infrastructures operating under large-scale solutions such as SAP. Obtaining space from the server due to data compression feature is one of these. There may be scenarios with size reductions of up to 30–40 percent.
"Furthermore, in terms of efficiency it is very important to have the option of allocating resources as much as you want to the user profile you want, integrated in the database. You can, for example, limit the resources for a user that enters bills in the accounting department, while reserving a significant processor load to an upper-level manager. Now we are able to tune the system so some users can get immediate system response."
Bilgen, the FIT Technology Consultant, suggests that due to the nature of the area they are specialized in, they provide platform-independent services. In recent years, however, as a result of the developments in Microsoft, they have moved mainly toward the Microsoft platform in the infrastructure projects they have been developing. "There are some important reasons why we prefer the Microsoft platform on the SAP side. First, Microsoft provides rapid developments in the field of technology and it is very easy to hire qualified IT personnel to adapt to these developments. Second, the compatibility features provided in the SAP platforms in recent years have improved significantly.
"The fact that the Microsoft platform has such an appeal and recognition provides an advantage for us. At FIT, we have a clear mission statement: We create the solution, bring it to life, and create success stories to hand to our customers. Our customers may later on sign a support agreement with us if they wish, or they may continue on their own. At the point where it needs to continue under its own scope, the platforms used should be easy to manage. Conveying this to the customers requires another skill. There can be some limitations on the customer side:, human resources may not be sufficient, especially in group firms and firms under the umbrella of a holding company. As a result, ease of adaptation and fast management becomes important for a platform. Microsoft provides such a platform."

Approaching RWY 33 in heavy crosswind conditions.
Preparing for take off.
An eagle sits on the coconut tree observing this aircraft lands and also other airport movements
My first ever sighting of an MD-11! Totally unexpected, I sure hope I see many more of these great airliners in the future.
This photo may help people understand the sheer size of the MD-11s and DC-10s. Hope we see many more movements of such aircraft here in the future.
A photo showing a lot of action here at MAN! G-MONW is leading the way, with ZS-SJG closely behind, plus G-OOAU taxying on behind.
Could this be the last time I see this old livery up close? Hope not.
From here you can clearly see where the old KLMUK titles we worn.

Includes "Insinerator" amplifier for wicked tones all in one package. Click to enlarge.
Bolt-on Construction
A number of B.C. Rich guitars use a classic Bolt-on construction. On these instruments a neck (typically maple) is bolted on with 4 screws to the body. This construction offers some added flexibility in the instruments adjustment and provides the option to change the neck in the future.
B.C. Rich BDSM Pickups
B.C. Rich designed their BDSM humbucking pickups to provide a solid sound and to be durable while delivering high output. BDSM stands for Broad Dynamic Sonically Matched. Which simply means that the pickup is designed to reproduce a wide range of frequencies accurately (broad dynamic). Then they are tested and matched in pairs (Neck and Bridge) by their inherent individual and signature tonal and output characteristics to give a solidly balanced tone (sonically matched).
Beveled Top
Most of B.C. Rich body styles employ a beveled edge around the shape. In many ways bevels on a top are similar to facets on a cut stone. They catch the light and reflect at different angles giving the instrument more of a three dimensional look. Some of the B.C. Rich top bevels are extreme and wide while others are subtle and narrow. Occasionally the shape of the instrument is accented by painting the bevels a contrasting color.
"Insinerator" Amp Included
Get started right away with the included 10-watt B.C. Rich "Insinerator" amp, which is perfect for practicing. With red tolex to match your Warlock, it provides two channels through an eight-inch speaker. Dial it in with volume, tone and drive controls.

so it's not the most thrilling subject, but I found  this  document on BigAdmin a while ago, and just got around to reading it. The document contains a lot of good tips on setting up Oracle on NAS (Particularly NetApps). The impressive thing I found was that the engineers use real measured data to qualify much of what they recommend. The authors are from Sun's performance group, and from  NetApp  themselves. Check it out for general Solaris/Oracle/NFS configuration guidelines also.
 And by way of apology for such a dry and boring blog entry, please enjoy this gratuitous picture of an original Woz designed blue box I found at the Coumputer History museum. Nice.

  https://blogs.oracle.com/gjl/entry/good_news_for_bad_databases Good news for bad databases... gjl 2004-07-19T08:12:07+00:00 2004-07-19T15:21:42+00:00 I just closed a long running escalation whereby old oracle connections would appear to hang, and new ones could not be established. A truss of a new sqlplus session showed that the oracle process was sleeping on a semop system call.
 sqlplus/1: read(10, 0x10024FF66, 2064) (sleeping...)\^M oracle/1: semop(1245185, 0xFFFFFFFF7FFFAF9C, 1) (sleeping...)\^M sqlplus/1: 556.9328 Received signal #2, SIGINT, in read() \^\^\^Here we see the process is eventually killed with CTRL-C
 Anyhow the fix was to apply Oracle update 184.108.40.206 (9205) which according to my Oracle contacts contains around 1,100 fixes. 184.108.40.206 contained in the region of 800 compared to 220.127.116.11 Cor blimey, what a  whopper .

Is it a better idea, in terms of getting lower prices, to look at airports that are busier?
Bigger airports doesn't necessarily mean better fares. I would say that the competition on a specific route is key to better fares.
I live for example in Belgium, but often fly from Amsterdam airport. Some airlines consider main train stations as airports, so I can book a airplane ticket from the train station of my home town to almost anywhere, "transferring" at Amsterdam airport. Often I pay less then a passenger on the same flight leaving Amsterdam, who boarded in Amsterdam directly. I guess it mainly boils down to pulling passengers away from Brussels airport.
So to find the better fares try to identify which carriers offer a specific route.

Would it be at all possible to may allow me/us to edit the html through the TinyMCE editor please ?
Its like a little button with html written on it from what I remember from previous version of the editor, if its not possible to have that could we possibly have a drop down with h1,h2,h3 tags in it instead maybe ?
I'm only asking as sometimes I would like to put a h2 in my posts instead of a p and b tag.

This beautiful SA or PL glockenspiel would make an excellent centerpiece for any display room.
The instruments body, top post and ornamental eagle are all made of brass, which has tarnished over the years. There are a few dents to the rear, as these items were/are very delicate.
The white & black side tails are made of real horsehair and hang from eagle heads on each side of the body. The left side ring has been replaced with a modern day ring. Bells are intact and still sound the notes, though I am sure out of tune by now. Three nuts which hold the keys on appear post war, but not visible from the front.

A fuzzy feature of weather radar echo was introduced as the measurement of horizontal texture of echo image, and the local mean of the second lowest level was taken as the measurement of vertical echo scale. An algorithm of weather radar base reflectivity noise filtering was proposed based on Support Vector Machine (SVM). The results show that the echoes of non-precipitation such as ground clutter (GC), clear sky, abnormal propagation (AP) can be removed effectively, especially for the mixing echoes of precipitation and non-precipitation coexisted together, the algorithm works pretty well to identify the two kinds of echoes that mean different weathers.

A fire which raged on Cecil Peak on Sunday night, eventually
burning itself out on Monday, appeared to have been started
by an ''unsupervised gas cooker''.
Sergeant Blair Duffy, of Queenstown, said a group of four men
and two women contacted police on Monday afternoon and
visited the station that night.
The group, all either 28 or 29 years old and all from the
United Kingdom living and working in Queenstown, had visited
Cecil Peak on a borrowed boat late on Sunday afternoon.
''They have initially gone over to have a barbecue and a few
drinks [but] fairly early in the piece this has taken

started the fire, which quickly got out of control.
A 29-year-old man told police in a statement the group called
111 at the time, providing details of the fire and its

On Sunday night, police spoke to two men seen speeding from
Cecil Peak who disembarked in Queenstown Bay.
However, they were not part of the group who contacted police
on Monday.
Sgt Duffy said the man claimed to have ''told someone at the
Queenstown wharf'' to get either the Queenstown Lakes
District Council harbour master or police to call them.
''They went home anticipating to receive a phone call or some
contact ... and then upon waking up the next day and reading
the paper and seeing there was media interest, that obviously
police were looking for who was involved ... they made
themselves known.''
Two rural fire crews, supported by two helicopters, dampened
down hot spots on Monday morning after a helicopter
inspection of the fire and surrounding area on Sunday night
to ensure no-one was in the vicinity.
Senior communications adviser Michele Poole said the council
would consider the statement provided by police before making
any decisions on prosecution and/or recovery of costs.

In an attempt to export my blog to move from my current W.org blog to a WP.com blog, all my export attempts have failed. The best results I've gotten, have gotten me my posts until November 2006.
- OLD SITE: http://theendofdave.com
- NEW SITE: http://theendofdave.wordpress.com
I've taken down the plugins (now back up), removed the theme and reverted to the default one. I've also deleted ALL the registered users and subscribers except mine. And still the export is limited.
So I have my export my file and a backup file (SQL) and I was wondering what could be done to fix the issue?
Any help appreciated

Rich Gedman
- Position(s):
- Born:
- September 26, 1959
- Bats:
- Left
- Throws:
- Right
- Height:
- 6'
- Weight:
- 210 lbs
- Major League Debut:
- 9-07-1980 with BOS
Gedman was The Sporting News' AL Rookie Player of the Year in 1981 and by the age of 25 had become one of baseball's most promising catchers, but was plagued by injuries, holdouts, and inconsistency thereafter.
With a wide-open, weight-back batting stance, Gedman hit 24 homers in 1984 and followed with career highs in average (.295) and RBI (80) in 1985 while throwing out nearly half of opposition basestealers. His average dipped to .258 in 1986, and in 1987 he remained unsigned until May 1, then hit only .205 before injuring his thumb in mid-July.
In 1988 and 1989, Gedman platooned with Rick Cerone. He was traded to Houston for a minor-leaguer in June 1990 and spent the last two seasons of his career with the Cardinals as a backup to Tom Pagnozzi.
Amateur and minor leagues
A native of Worcester, Massachusetts, Gedman played first base and pitched at Saint Peter-Marian High School and for the Grafton Hill (Worcester) American Legion program. Not classically athletic, he went undrafted in the 1977 Major League Baseball Draft, and was signed as a free agent by the Red Sox. He was sent to the Instructional League to learn to play catcher, and progressed steadily up through the Red Sox minor leagues system. Highlights of his minor league career included catching the first nine innings of the longest game in the history of professional baseball, a 33 inning affair between Gedman's Pawtucket Red Sox and the Rochester Red Wings.
Major leagues
Gedman made his debut for the Sox in September 1980, pinch-hitting for Carl Yastrzemski. In 1981, regular Sox catcher Carlton Fisk was granted free-agency and signed with the Chicago White Sox, leaving the catcher position open. Gedman shared catching duties with Gary Allenson, and played well enough to be named The Sporting News Rookie of the Year.
Following a poor 1982, Gedman's hitting improved the next two seasons under the instruction of Red Sox hitting coach Walt Hriniak. He hit a career high 24 home runs in 1984 and followed with career highs in batting average (.295) and RBI (80) in 1985 while throwing out nearly half of potential base stealers. In that season, he became the 16th Red Sox player and only the 6th catcher since 1900 to hit for the cycle.
1986 saw three of the highlights of Gedman's career. On April 29, he set the American League record for putouts by a catcher with 20, as Roger Clemens set the major league record for strikeouts in a nine-innings game against the Seattle Mariners. On April 30, he had 16 putouts for a total of 36 in two days, which is the most for a catcher in two consecutive games. Gedman was also selected to the All-Star Game that year, to go with his appearance in the 1985 game. But the peak of his career coincided with one of its lows in the 1986 World Series. In the bottom of the tenth inning of Game 6, with the Sox leading by one run with two outs, Kevin Mitchell on third and Mookie Wilson at bat, reliever Bob Stanley threw a pitch that Gedman failed to handle. It was scored as a wild pitch, but many considered it a Gedman passed ball. Mitchell came in to score, tying the game. Then, Wilson hit a ball that went through first baseman Bill Buckner's legs to win the game for the Mets. The Sox went on to lose the deciding game, and the series.
On January 8, 1987, ten free agents (Tim Raines, Lance Parrish, Bob Horner, Andre Dawson, Rich Gedman, Ron Guidry, Bob Boone, Doyle Alexander, Toby Harrah and Gary Roenicke) failed to meet a midnight deadline and thus were not allowed to re-sign with their former clubs until May 1 if they were not offered contracts by new teams. The general lack of interest in the players became the focus of the Players' Association's first anti-collusion suit against the owners.
On November 3, 1986, while practicing for a seven-game series between Major League and Japanese All-Stars, Gedman was struck by a warmup pitch from Detroit Tigers pitcher Willie Hernandez, resulting in a fractured cheekbone. This was the beginning of a litany of injuries, holdouts, and inconsistency which contributed to the waning of Gedman's skills, both offensive and defensive. In 1989, Rick Cerone replaced him as the regular Boston catcher. In 1990, he served as back-up catcher to Tony Peña, who was acquired by the Red Sox during the offseason. On June 7, he was traded to Houston for a player to be named later.
Gedman was not re-signed by the Astros, and in 1991 he signed with the Cardinals to back up Tom Pagnozzi. After spending spring training of 1993 with the Oakland Athletics, he signed a minor-league contract with the Yankees, playing the season with their Triple-A club, the Columbus Clippers. When he failed to make a major league roster in 1994, he retired at age 34.
In his career, Gedman batted .252 with 88 home runs, 382 RBI, 331 runs, 176 doubles, 12 triples, and three stolen bases in 1033 games. As a catcher, he compiled a .984 fielding percentage with 5274 putouts, 431 assists and 92 errors in 980 games.
In 2002, Gedman became a coach with the North Shore Spirit, a team in the independent Northeast League. He was the Spirit's bench coach.
He managed the Worcester Tornadoes, in the Can-Am League, from 2005-2010. The Tornadoes won the Can-Am League title in their first year of existence. In his six years in Worcester, Gedman led the team to a 283-290 record, 10-6 in the postseason.
On January 10, 2011, Gedman returned to organized baseball when he was named batting coach of the 2011 Lowell Spinners, the Red Sox' Short Season-A affiliate in the New York-Penn League, returning to the Boston organization after a two-decade absence.
- Twice All-Star (1985–86)
- The Sporting News' AL Rookie of the Year (1981)
- Selected for the All-Star team by UPI and The Sporting News (1985)
- Caught Dennis Eckersley's one-hitter game (September 26, 1980)
- Set two AL records for putouts in a game and in consecutive games (April 29–30, 1986)
- Hit for the cycle and drove in 7 runs against the Blue Jays (September 18, 1985)
- Reached base in all five at-bats of historic game 5 of the 1986 American League Championship Series. This included a two-run home run in the second inning and a hit-by-pitch in the ninth inning that set up Dave Henderson's dramatic two-out home run.
Personal life
Rich Gedman met his future-wife Sherry Aselton in 1977, when both attended St. Peter-Marian High School in Worcester. Sherry went on to play softball and basketball at the University of Connecticut where she threw two no-hitters and as of 2011 still holds the second-lowest career ERA in program history (0.57). The couple married in 1982.
The Gedmans have two sons, Michael and Matthew, and a daughter, Marissa. Michael was a freshman pitcher for the Le Moyne College Dolphins in 2007, but when his younger brother Matthew was accepted as a freshman at UMass in both their baseball and hockey programs (as an infielder and a goalie), sophomore Michael transferred to UMass also. Mike played a mix of first baseman and pitcher, and hit .312 in three seasons for the Minutemen, including .345 as a junior in 2009. Matt played shortstop and third baseman at UMass, and finished his career with a .334 batting average over his four years, and a team-leading .402 average during his senior year in 2011.
His daughter Marissa attended Noble and Greenough School where she participated in field hockey, ice hockey, and softball. In her 2008 season, she achieved All-League ISL, a NE Championship, and 16-U National Championship in Ice Hockey. She went on to attend Harvard University starting in 2010, and played for the women's ice hockey team.
In his spare time during the baseball off-season, Gedman holds catching clinics all over central Massachusetts including Shrewsbury High School(Massachusetts) and Triple Play Batting Cages in Clinton, Massachusetts.
Gedman lives in Sudbury, MA.

IronE Singleton's bio reads like it was scripted for a movie. Born and raised in the Perry Homes housing projects in Southwest Atlanta, his mother was a drug addict, his father was absent from his life. He used football and acting as a vehicle to get beyond his environs and seek a better future for himself. Playing football at the University of Georgia to pursue a degree in theater, Singleton later channeled his early street experiences and influences into an autobiographical one-man stage play, titled The Resurrection, where he plays 18 characters that influenced his upbringing. It's the amalgamation of those personal archetypes he manifests on screen as Alton, the projects kingpin in The Blindside or recently with is role as T-Dog on AMC's "The Walking Dead." While in town to promote the national Run for Your Life fun run tour that kicked off in Georgia earlier this month, we sat with him over breakfast at the Four Seasons to discuss growing up in Atlanta, insights on his alter ego T-Dog, and what to expect in upcoming episodes of the show.
Note, the interview took place prior to the airing of episode 11, Judge, Jury Executioner, in which Dale (Jeffrey DeMunn) dies. "The Walking Dead" airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on AMC.
CL: Is there more to T-dog than meets the eye? Singleton: Yeah, I would compare T-Dog to me. That's when I'm doing my character work, they all start from a baser foundation of who I am. I try to find as many similarities between me and the character I'm playing and I see T-Dog as having a solid spiritual foundation. It hasn't come out yet but if he continues to live, if he survives then ...
We have a few episodes before the season ends. Can you give us some idea about what's going to happen? I'll make it easy, are you still on the farm? Yes, we're on the farm and the farm is going to become a totally different place. Try to think back to season one when all Hades broke loose. We're going to have something similar. The CDC was nothing compared to this, and what's about to go down ... I can't go into any further than that but it's going to get more exciting and morality is about to come into question in a major way. Get ready for disappointment and heartbreak.
Hmmm ... that sounds like someone we really like is going to to die. I didn't say that ...
Going back to T-Dog, you said you pull him out of yourself, when you read the original script and discussed your character, did he change at all?
We talked mainly with Glen Mazzara. We had a sit-down for about an hour about my character and how I saw him and it's the same way as I see my mission as IronE on this Earth and that's to serve as a beacon of light and inspiration to others. Someone mentioned on my Twitter account that they saw T-Dog as a mentor before this whole thing [zombie apocalypse] broke out. And I said, "Yeah I can see how T-Dog can be that way." I can see him being a veteran from the military, that's possible, too. He's a good guy, he's always been about justice and fighting for the everywoman/everyman and just wanting justice to prevail ... at all cost. So even at sacrificing his life, even if he has to do that in order to save another, someone whose good-natured and good-spirited, he'd do it.
I noticed in the first season, T-Dog seemed a little angry about the situation he was in and more integral to the conversations being held, but this season heââ'¬â"¢s mellowed out and more of a follower.
T-Dog is like, "Man, I'm not gonna get caught up in this nonsense, I just want to survive." I mean look at Rick and Shane, its like y'all are staring at each other and then Darryl and every time I turn around somebody is arguing, there's this drama going on and T-Dog is like, "I've already had enough of this in my life. It's where I came from in the pre-apocalyptic world, so I don't want anything to do with. Just let me know when the zombies are here and if you need my help with that, but this other stuff leave me out of it." [laughs]
Yeah you tend to have this look on your face that says, "seriously?"
Oh, you caught that! [laughs] I mean we have bigger fish to fry, bigger things to worry about, right?

Nice shell game isn't it? People need to read the entire 8-k again. All of the shares were pledged to Comerica. Comerica gave them up to the private company (they stole their shares, stockholders are lower on the food chain). The directors hold no stake in the private company. They are in the same boat as stockholders are.
The "stock transfer" is nothing but a part of the process. When the stock transfer is complete. Stockholders have nothing. They have from now, until the transfer is complete to sell their shares and save what money they can.
Until the transfer is complete, can the stock still be traded? Yes. Until the transfer is complete, can the pps still go up and down? Yes. How long does the transfer take? 5-10 business days after the paperwork is submitted. When will they submit the paperwork? ??????????????????????
It's all right here from the forbearance 8-k
Arcadia Services, Inc. ("ASI") and four of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Services Borrowers") are parties to an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated July 13, 2009, as subsequently amended on June 9, 2010 and October 31, 2010 (the "Comerica Credit Agreement"). The repayment of the debt under the Comerica Credit Agreement is guaranteed by RKDA, Inc., ASI's parent company ("RKDA"). RKDA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Arcadia Resources, Inc. (the "Registrant" or "Company"). Comerica Bank has a security interest in all of the assets of the Services Borrowers and RKDA has pledged the outstanding capital stock of ASI as further security under the Comerica Credit Agreement (such security interest and pledge collectively the "Collateral"). The obligations under the Comerica Credit Agreement matured on April 1, 2012.
I missed the bit about RKDA, Inc. as the direct sub of ARI. Note the term "Outstanding capital stock of ASI"
Now where's my Scooby snack?
There are all sorts of legal reasons/tax reasons, including the relevant one: a bank might be willing to extend a line of credit to a sleepy little homecare company, but might be less willing to extend it to an unproved pharmacy that's losing money hand over fist.
They could have simply had ASI be an operating division of ARI, but it was a separate company, owned and operated by ARI. Them's the breaks, kid.
Zooooo - er, I mean Now where's my Scooby snack?
Why would ASI have needed stock if they were a subsidiary of a public company? If someone was to want to invest in ASI they would've had to invest in ARI because that was the only option to invest in. Yet now they had their own separate stock and separate investors this whole time?
Your scooby snack is in the "kitty liter"!
ASI was a wholly owned subsidiary of ARI. Think of ASI as a private company, with all the stock held by a public company.
Now ASI is a private company with all the stock held by another company (AHI).
What are ARI stockholders left holding? THE BAG
Now where's my Scooby snack?
Aah well susan said a lot of things.
She is not an honest investor...
Try clicking in arcadia holding and see what comes up... the ticker symbol redirects to kadr. I dont know if this means anything, but if there is a new entity and that is the name i find it odd that it directs to this stock instead of a new one.
How does/did ASI have separate stock from Arcadia Resources?
i'm not selling either, at this point i'm also want to get in on a law suit.

Copper Crucible: How the Arizona Miners' Strike of 1983 Recast Labor-Management Relations in America (ILR Press Books)
A Choice Magazine "Outstanding Academic Book for 1995"
"Jonathan D. Rosenblum's history of this one strike reveals to us, in chapter and verse, the barbaric use of power by the corporate big boys. It is a stunning metaphor for labor's trouble today."--Studs Terkel
"Rosenblum writes with the verve of a good journalist and the empirical precision of a fine scholar. He is as deft at sketching brief portraits of key executives, union officials, and rank-and-file strikers as he is at untangling the legal skein in which the miners got fatally ensnared."--Michael Kazin, New York Times Book Review
(from a review of the first edition) In this new edition, Jonathan D. Rosenblum describes the resurgence in 1996 and 1997 of union activism at Local 890 in Silver City, New Mexico, the famous "Salt of the Earth" union. Phelps Dodge obliterated all the unions at its Arizona properties in the devastating 1983 campaign of permanent replacement documented in Copper Crucible. The company later acquired the Chino mine in western New Mexico; with the copper ore came the elements of union rebirth. When Phelps Dodge officials argued that "while unions may have had a purpose in the past, that time is gone," they rekindled the union's fighting spirit, according to Rosenblum. Local 890 beat back Phelps Dodge's 1996 decertification campaign, handing the company its first major setback against unions in fifteen years.

Fischer Audio DBA-02
" Introduction A warning before we even get to the review. This is kinda lengthy. I'm not sure how it got so long since it is just one product but yeah it is a bit long. Fischer Audio has slowly gained popularity over the last year or so and there was quite a buzz on them but nothing interested me enough to go out and purchase them. That changed when LFF posted a review on the DBA 02 and..." --rawrster
Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic
" Some folks just love to hate Apple products, for a list of good reasons at times. Apple goes the extra mile to make much of what they sell proprietary. Try and use an after-market cord and sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. The Apple Company holds their own idea of what they feel the audio market is into. Many at Head-Fi embraced the original IPod as it really offered a standard of..." --Redcarmoose
Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic
" Prelude Apple's stock earbuds that have been shipped with every iPod since its inception are quite possibly the most prolific and widely distributed tech accessory of all time. It's hard to go anywhere without seeing a pair of these things dangling from someone's ears. Casual listeners are bound to be satisfied by the decent performance of the earbuds but what about audiophiles? It's..." --TheGame21x
Fischer Audio TBA-04 IEM
"When my 2 year old DBA02 mkii's lost left channel signal strength, I needed a replacement, pronto. I took note of some good sounding < IEMs from |joker|'s list and headed off to the nearest headphone store - to tide me over till I went custom, so the idea went. (I totally agree with |joker|'s 9.2 assessment of SQ on the DBA 02 mkii, fyi) As it turned out, they..." --exsomnis
Fischer Audio DBA-02 Mk II
" The DBA-02 Mk IIs are getting a lot of the same fame and respect their initial version siblings got.

(I never heard the originals but have gathered this from others' opinions.) And..." --ScuderiaHeadFi
Fischer Audio Omega Twin
"The Twins is the top offering from the Omega Series ($79 USD), "the one-solution companion for your entire day" "giving you a fantastic experience be it commuting, casual listening or hitting the fitness arena", further aided with a 1 button remote for smartphone users. The Twins claim to be the "choice for those that demand only the best" when working and working out. This is quite a..." --Tom22
Fischer Audio Omega Ace
"Just gonna do a brief review. Got these for RM250, which translates to roughly 62USD. For that price, you would not even be able to find another pair of over-the-ear IEMs. Overall, the build feels pretty solid despite the plastic housing and it comes with a twisted cable. The drivers aren't big, and thus fits into the ears well without any protruding parts. Comfort wise, these pair of IEMs are..." --Asher Lim
Fischer Audio Consonance White Earphones, Headphones for New Music Re-Vitalized
"Introduction: Sometimes in life, things kinda catch you by surprise when you least expect it and this is exactly what I found with the Fischer Audio Consonance Earphone.

However, there was a downside like with most things in life and that was the..." --mcook1970
Fischer Audio ToughStuff-9001
" Straight out of SANSA Clip+ Bass is accurate, punchy and deep, the mids are slightly recessed and the treble is very crisp. Clarity is up to Fischer standards, no veiled sound here. Overall they sound very similar to the ATH M50, but with less recession and greater clarity (though less inviting imaging) These are one of the best IEM's I'ver ever heard, and for the price..." --1eye1derweasil

" So I owned a pair of CX300II's for over 4 years and finally decided to get a new pair. Of course, I was looking to upgrade from the sennheiser in terms of Bass and overall quality.

Hoping to persuade you to remove the PHP short tags in favor of of the long-hand/full/standard/whatever syntax.
<?=$var?> doesn't play nice everywhere. While my understanding is that PHP 5.4 will support it regardless of the
short_open_tag setting, WordPress itself only requires 5.2.4, so many users may not be running 5.4 yet. It's also discouraged by WordPress coding standards.
I've created a diff against the current version of the plugin to help :) http://cl.ly/NkGs (or this one that also cleans up a bunch of whitespace http://cl.ly/Njaw)
Oh, and I also through an isset() check in there so I'd stop getting a "headers already sent error" when debug is on.
Or if diffs aren't your thing, here's a zip.

Socio-Religious Prognostication?
Psalm 78:1-8
Hear my teaching, O my people;
incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
I will open my mouth in a parable;
I will declare the mysteries of ancient times.
That which we have heard and known,
and what our forebears have told us,
we will not hide from their children.
We will recount to generations to come
the praiseworthy deeds and the power of the Lord,
and the wonderful works he has done.
He gave his decrees to Jacob
and established a law for Israel,
which he commanded them to teach their children;
That the generations to come might know,
and the children yet unborn;
that they in their turn might tell it to their children;
So that they might put their trust in God,
and not forget the deeds of God,
but keep his commandments;
And not be like their forebears,
a stubborn and rebellious generation,
a generation whose heart was not steadfast,
and whose spirit was not faithful to God.
I'm pondering the first few lines of this Psalm. They strike me as remarkably different from much of what we're saying these days about generations and faithfulness. It is, it seems, always the younger generations who fail us, who are stubborn and do not recognize the gifts of God. Every so often someone will throw the Baby Boomers (I mean, that's fun, right?) under the bus, but the majority of our attention has been on the future generations or those who are simply young now. We who analyze religious trends are practitioners of religious prognostication.

Kentucky Derby winning trainer John Shirreffs looks after his horses at his barn on Friday, May 13, 2005, at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, Calif. The 59-year-old veteran trainer was thrust into the spotlight when 50-1 shot Giacomo came storming from 18th to win the Kentucky Derby on May 7.
AP Photo INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- Wearing glasses and his ever-present Mill Ridge Farm baseball cap, trainer John Shirreffs rambles down the row of stalls, his gait as relaxed and easy as that of one of his horses out for a morning walk.
He stops to tickle a colt's nose, lets the horse playfully nibble his hand, then exchanges pleasantries with a man and his wife who work for him.
Shirreffs is a man in his element.
The most famous resident of Barn 55 South at Hollywood Park isn't around -- Kentucky Derby winner Giacomo will be shipped from Louisville to Baltimore this week to run in Saturday's Preakness Stakes, the second leg of the Triple Crown.
So that leaves the 59-year-old Shirreffs, Giacomo's trainer, as the most famous face around the barn these days. Pensive and soft-spoken but with a twinkle in his eye and a knowing smile, Shirreffs has been relatively unnoticed and likes it that way, sometimes not even showing up in the winner's circle when one of his horses wins.
He prefers to be back in the barn amid the hay, the tack, the horses and his people.
"This is not a guy that you can get out of the barn very easily," said A&M Records founder Jerry Moss, who with wife, Ann, owns Giacomo. "Dottie (Shirreffs' wife) will tell you that. He really cares about the horses that he's responsible for."
Although Giacomo had won only one race heading into the Derby, Shirreffs had a special feeling about the colt, who finished second to 2-year-old champion Declan's Moon in the Hollywood Futurity in December.
"When you come into a big race like that (the Derby) and he's still improving, hasn't flattened out and there's still more to come, you have to feel good about your horse," Shirreffs said.
So Giacomo might be even better in the Preakness?
"Two weeks really isn't much time, but we'll see," Shirreffs said. "He put it all together in the Derby."
Shirreffs has had a string of considerably quieter successes over the years, including four victories in the Bayakoa Handicap at Hollywood Park.
When 50-1 shot Giacomo came storming from 18th to win the Derby, Shirreffs' cover was blown. Although he doesn't put much stock in fame, he admits he's enjoying the heady ride that comes with winning the world's greatest race.
"Fame? Until the next race, at least," Shirreffs said, chuckling as he sat on a trunk outside one of the stalls, doing an interview in the barn "because the phone will be ringing off the hook in my office."
"It's just been super going back to Kentucky and having all this happen, and it's been so much fun involving all the other people," he said. "For me, it's my family, my mother and sister, all my friends, talking about it, hearing about it.
"A man I worked for a long time ago called -- his wife is very ill -- and he and his wife and their daughter watched the Derby together and it was just so much fun for them to see it and remember me."
Shirreffs has made a number of such friends during his rich and colorful life.
Fresh out of the Marines and Vietnam, he was on his way from the East Coast to Hawaii with the dream of becoming a surfer. But Shirreffs, who grew up around horses on his family's farm in New Hampshire, stopped to visit a friend in California and, in a sense, returned to his roots -- he never made it to Hawaii and instead began working with horses in Northern California.
He tells of how he "played cowboy," emulating an old-timer named Jim Matthews, "who could do things with a rope you wouldn't believe, tie horses up where they looked like pretzels."
Then Henry Freitas, manager of a thoroughbred ranch in Northern California, offered him a job breaking yearlings.
"If there was a really important mentor for me, it would be Henry Freitas," said Shirreffs, who was working for meals before Freitas offered to pay him. "Henry was one of those really good, basic horse guys. Everything he did was fundamentally sound, just took a lot of care with each individual horse."
Michelle Jensen, one of Shirreffs' assistants, said he has a natural feel for horses.
"Real horsemen have that instinct, the intuition about horses, and he certainly does," Jensen said.
Mario Spinoza, one of Shirreffs' workers, said, "He has a good feel for horses and people, and he's good to both of them."
The trainer said he always tries to remember "the horse in race horse."

Democracy and Education: Evidence from the Southern African Development Community
In this paper we investigate whether democracy in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) has had any impact on education during the 1980-2009 period. The results, based on panel time-series analysis (we use the Pooled OLS, Fixed Effects and Fixed Effects with Instrumental Variables estimators), strongly suggest that democracy has played an important role in widening access to education in the region. These results are significant not only because democracy is in its infancy in the region and to make it work is an aim in itself in Africa, but also because education (a noble aim in itself) is an important determinant of growth and development. All in all, democracy, and the better governance that tends to be associated with it, is playing not only its expected redistributive role, but also an indirect, nevertheless significant and important, role on prosperity in the community.

In 2006, he was a member of the Iraq Study Group. Freeman hit the headlines in the early weeks of the Obama administration when Director of National Intelligence Adm. Dennis C. Blair named him Chair of the National Intelligence Council, citing his "diverse background in defense, diplomacy and intelligence." News of his impending appointment met a firestorm of criticism from numerous strongly pro-Israeli commentators, who lambasted Freeman for the view he had often expressed that the U.S. needed to maintain an even-handed stance between Israel and the Arab countries. In early March 2009, Freeman withdrew his name from consideration for the position and issued a statement, laying the blame for the campaign against him on a network of pro-Israel activists. As Ambassador to Saudi Arabia during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm (1990-91), Freeman led an effort that more than doubled non-military exports to the Kingdom while managing the largest diplomatic mission in the world under the conditions of that crisis. His long involvement with China began with his service as the principal American interpreter during President Nixon's historic 1972 visit to Beijing. In addition to Chinese, Freeman speaks French and Spanish at the professional level, and can carry on conversations in Arabic and several other languages. His final position in government was Assistant Secretary of Defense, responsible for managing defense relations with all regions of the world except the countries of the former Soviet Union. He has received numerous high honors and awards for international negotiation and policy and management innovation.

Tennessee AD Mike Hamilton has announced that the Volunteers and USC Trojans have verbally agreed to a football series in 2021 and 2022. Specific dates for the games were not announced, but it will likely be a home-and-home series.
The Tennessee Volunteers are 0-4 all-time against the USC Trojans. In the last matchup between the two teams in 1981, USC won 43-7 in Los Angeles.

USC will kill tennessee 56- 21
You are a @#$!%$$ idiot. How can you predict something that is YEARS away. !@#$#@!. UT is on the rise and USC is declining. Both are historic powerhouse (debate be on this I dare you).
Edited by admin for language.
This match-up can't get here fast enough. Go VOLS!
In the 2021 game I see USC playing strong with LaMarcus Thompson (current star RB at Huntington Middle School (CA)) scoring the go ahead TD in front of 108,000 Vol fans with about 2:00 remaining. However, Travis Mondale (current QB at Dade Middle (VA), upset at his Heisman snub the year before, will lead the Vols to to a 14-10 victory on a clutch play by WR Nate Pasquez (current QB-turned-WR Grassland Middle (TN)) despite his hamstring injury in the 2nd quarter.
No way could the SC linebackers keep up with those Tenn receivers just two years after the death of Monte Kiffin.

Middle Schoolers Suspended for Bathroom Fight Club
The first rule of middle school fight club is, oh, whatever.
Nine sixth-grade boys were suspended from a Tacoma, Washington, middle school today after it was discovered that almost two dozen boys were involved in an organized "fight club" — like the Chuck Palahniuk novel and the Brad Pitt/Ed Norton movie. The club was held in one of the Stewart Middle School's lavatories, and was only discovered after one of the students shared a cell-phone video of a fight with a local news station. So, yes, the school was unaware of the club until they watched the news broadcast.
