Simplified LOB management for DB2
The modern organization is now critically dependent on the integrity of a rapidly expanding volume and diversity of data. DB2 Large Objects (LOBs) and unstructured data have become an integral part of DB2 and a growing concern to DBAs who must manage the massive amounts of datasets, indexes, and new data. DB2 LOBs are another challenge of DB2 Data Management in the digital age.
Reorganizing LOBs can take much longer than reorganizing traditional DB2 data, and so does loading and unloading LOB data to and from DB2. True management of LOBs requires constant execution of four different utilities: CHECK DATA, CHECK INDEX, CHECK LOB and REORG – in the correct order.
BMC LOBMaster simplifies data management for DB2 by consolidating all of the required processes into a single, high-speed solution.
- A single utility that checks the integrity of all LOB objects, while processing for REORG , UNLOAD and LOAD to simplify LOB processes.
- Corrects any errors with LOBs (that are correctable) and reports on all errors to keep your environment online.
- Minimizes resource usage, because an external SORT and FLASHCOPY are never required.
- Reduces utility times and resources through techniques specifically designed for the size and structure of DB2 LOBs.
- Deployment of new applications with LOBs is facilitated through a simplified maintenance process.

LOB validation and maintenance for DB2
Simplifying data management for LOBs in DB2 involves proactively validating LOBs as part of routine maintenance. LOBMaster eliminates the need to run multiple utilities that potentially bring an object offline. BMC LOBMaster for DB2 will perform all of the required LOB maintenance, while leaving all objects online for application processing without requiring SORT calls.
Validate your LOBs
LOBs are validated during REORG, LOAD, and UNLOAD processes, eliminating the need to ever run CHECK INDEX, CHECK LOB, and CHECK DATA.
Exploit your infrastructure
Adaptive parallel processing techniques reduce elapsed times and can spread work across a sysplex environment.
Keep your LOBs online
Applications maintain full access to the LOB data while reorganizing and unloading data.
Find out what you have
Powerful reporting capabilities show you the size of the LOBs you have and whether they can be brought inline.
Get a handle on unstructured data
By fully managing LOBs while your utilities are running, LOBMaster manages LOBs as a part of your routine maintenance process and are corrected in flight.
Simplify unstructured data management
- A single command replaces four native stand-alone utilities and performs all LOB validation while processing the utility to maintain data integrity
- Consolidate all the required steps into a single command to validate, maintain and correct LOB data
- Designed for the complexity of LOBs so your unstructured data is processed efficiently while online

Miley Cyrus is baring it all.
In the new video for her single, "Wrecking Ball," Cyrus strips down—both emotionally and physically.
Though the video starts of remarkably tame—with a close-up of a tearful Cyrus—it isn't long before we see the pop star swinging nude on top of a wrecking ball. And yes, there is tongue but not as much as you might expect.
Watch it below and let us know what you think. Do you love or loathe this video?

My last Macworld
Registration for Macworld (in November): $10
Downtown parking in San Francisco: $9
Attending the most disorganized and disjointed Macworld ever: Worthless.
Those of you outside my family who read this blog know that I have an, um, history with Macs. I'm a Mac owner since 1992, a former Mac Marine during the mid-'90s when Apple was circling the wagons, and I am a firm and solid advocate for the PowerPC platform (want to hear my PowerPC speech about how distros are booting a routine grounder by not developing for it? I thought not. But suffice it to say, Thank God for Debian, which has the smarts to keep developing for the PowerPC).
And those who have been keeping score at home know my conversion to GNU/Linux comes at the hands of Apple's myopic philosophy at the turn of the century in making perfectly good, well-built hardware — and Apple does have the best built, most beautiful hardware — obsolete with its menagerie of predatory cats which are not exactly backwards compatible.
I have been attending Macworlds — whether in San Francisco or in Tokyo — since 1994, which is 14 by my count, and today's opening was a complete clusterfsck. I don't know who's to blame — IDG, the expo's organizers; or Apple, or the city of San Francisco — but after taking over two hours to get my pass, I had to choose between two different venues. Historically, Macworld took place in the North and South auditoriums of the Moscone Center. This one took place in the South auditorium and something on 4th Street called the West auditorium. Hence, your traffic tie-up in downtown San Francisco comes courtesy of Steve Jobs.
This is not to say that the keynote wasn't interesting: a wafer-think notebook of which the Apple technician in line in front of me said, "I'm not touching these things — if one comes to my shop, I have the option of putting it in a box and shipping it to Cupertino. If I open something this small, I'll break it;" as well as now you can get a ton of movies that you can watch on your Mac via streaming video, and a couple of other iPod related niceties.
However, there was nothing extremely compelling this year on the software or accessory side. There was nothing terribly thrilling in the way of hardware — save for the MacBook Sliver (or whatever it's called — Air, I think) — and peripherals; in fact, most of what was there seemed to be the same hardware/peripherals as last year.
Swag? Fuggedaboudit. Non-existent.
So this is it: The final Macworld for me. From now on, I'm marking August as the month when I go back to Moscone for LinuxWorld.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there is an epidemic of human papillomavirus (HPV) in the United States. HPV is the most common
sexually transmitted infection. It is most common in men and women in their
late teens and
early 20s. Because so many types of HPV have no symptoms, it is easily spread between sex partners.
There are about 40 different types of HPV that can cause genital infection. Most are not serious and do not even cause any symptoms. Most come to an end in 1 to 2 years. However, some types of HPV can cause serious health problems, including:
Read on for more information from the American Academy of Pediatrics about HPV and how to prevent it.
There are 3 types of HPV vaccine:
Cervarix, Gardasil, and
Gardasil-9. See the table below for a quick comparison.
Mild to moderate reactions to both vaccines may include pain or swelling where the shot was given,
headache, and
fainting immediately following the shot. Call the doctor right away for severe allergic reactions that may include rash; swelling of the hands and feet, face, or lips; and trouble breathing.
The only sure way to prevent HPV and other
sexually transmitted infections is to
abstain from all sexual activity, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex. This is a good policy for teens and young adults. Adults can reduce their risk of HPV by limiting the number of partners they have.
condom should always be used because it lowers the risk of genital warts and cancer as well as other sexually transmitted infections. However, condoms do not completely prevent HPV because there is still some genital contact even when condoms are used.
Circumcision does not completely prevent HPV but reduces the risk of HPV infection. There are many other considerations when deciding about circumcision.
Pap tests (also called Pap smears) are still an important way to prevent cervical cancer, including for females who have had the HPV vaccine. A Pap test is a simple test done in the doctor's office in which small amounts of cells are swabbed from the cervix and tested in a lab. Pap tests can detect cell changes in the cervix caused by HPV before they turn into cancer. Pap tests cannot be done at other sites on the body.

Leading sustainability expert to speak Monday, Oct. 26
The University of South Carolina will host a talk by British sustainability expert Norman Myers at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 26.
The program, titled "Our Environmental Prospect: Breakdown or Breakthrough?" will be held at in the School of Law auditorium. It is free and open to the public.
Myers, a professor at Oxford University's Green College and an adjunct professor at Duke University, has made major contributions to global sustainability. His pioneering, interdisciplinary work has examined numerous areas, including population, poverty, forestry and trade and investment. In the early 1970s, Myers established that the species extinction rate worldwide was several hundred times greater than generally believed at the time. He also proposed a strategy to identify biodiversity "hotspots" as a way to curb mass extinction.
His achievements have been recognized through numerous scientific and achievement awards, including the Volvo Environment Prize, the UNEP/Sasakawa Environment Prize and the Blue Planet Prize. In 1997, Myers was appointed by Queen Elizabeth to The Order of St. Michael and St. George "for services to the global environment."
Myers is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, the World Academy of Art and Science and the Royal Society of Arts.
The event is part of the School of the Environment's Biodiversity Series.

Okay, I'm not sure where this came from but it's on sharpie.com in the History section. Back in the early 60′s when Sharpie was first introduced, Johnny Carson and Jack Parr from the Tonight Show were some of our first product endorsers. So I think that's where the NBC Sharpie Peacock was born.
Now if a Sharpie NBC "Turkey" isn't exactly what you had in mind for your Thanksgiving centerpiece, here's a quick idea from interior designer Libby Langdon to personalize your table. This is an easy one for me because I happen to have dozens of decorative stones "sleeping" in the backyard, just waiting for a place at my Thanksgiving table. I'm going to use some combination of Sharpie's new Coleurs Cafe markers – the colors are just right for Thanksgiving: Earl Grey, Pomegranite, Blueberry, Mocha and Hibiscus.
"Thankful" Stone Place Cards and Centerpiece
Gather smooth creamy river rocks from a lake, pond or beach or buy a big bag of them at a local garden center or home improvement store. Write each guest's name with a black Sharpie pen on a stone and rest them on napkins at each place setting on the table. Fill a large glass bowl or vase with the remaining river stones and a glass of black Sharpie pens on a buffet. When guests arrive, ask them to write what they are thankful for in one word on a stone (they can do as many as they like)… have the table set with a bamboo or cork runner (or any runner you have) down the center and set patches of moss on top of the runner. Ask guests to place their "thankful stones" down the center of the tables in and around the moss and then complete the table setting by adding loads of little white votive candles in clear glass holders to create a warm glow. This is a fun idea because the stones double as place cards and it's also a conversation starter that gets people talking at the table about what they are thankful for.

Darius Rucker fires back at racist tweet
Listen to Darius Rucker on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Given his remarkable success in the genre, it's safe to say that most country fans enjoy Darius Rucker's music. However, the Grand Ole Opry member was the target of a racist tweet over the weekend that, understandably, set off his ire.
"@dariusrucker Leave country to the white folk," read the tweet, from a user identified as @pqkullman (the account has since been deactivated).
Rucker responded with:
"@pqkullman: @dariusrucker Leave country to the white folk". WOW. Is this 2013 or 1913— Darius Rucker (@dariusrucker) May 19, 2013
"@pqkullman: @dariusrucker Leave country to the white folk". Ill take my grand ole Opry membership and leave your racism. Wow— Darius Rucker (@dariusrucker) May 19, 2013
The original tweeter did not engage in further discussion; however, several fans chimed in with their thoughts on the matter. When one fan asked Rucker why he bothered to retweet comments from racists, Rucker noted, "So the world can see them."
Another fan said, "Bet he wouldn't say that to Nelly's face." Rucker replied with "Wouldn't say it to mine either."
He concluded with this final statement:
Gotta go to bed this has been hilarious tonight. If any hater thinks I care what u think. I don't make music for u. So don't listen.— Darius Rucker (@dariusrucker) May 20, 2013

Per the Press, Winslow played with water in his cups instead of beer.
Usually a diligent observer, nonetheless Winslow skimmed over the episode in two sentences.
Terse though he was, Winslow tells us that 90 Wampanoags took part.
"Gramercy for thy courtesy good my Valiant," replied Winslow in the same tone.
General Winslow, at the head of 700 men, was not permitted to advance.

Winslow was hopelessly in love, when he found this out he was aghast.

By Bill Sheets, Herald Writer
Jeff Thorngren of Snohomish writes: The state Department of Transportation needs to time the daily opening of the U.S. 2 trestle eastbound shoulder lane with the on-ramp meter lights from 41st Street onto northbound I-5. Traffic regulating lights on the 41st on-ramp start around 2 p.m. The open-shoulder driving on the eastbound trestle should open to traffic at 2 p.m. instead of 3 p.m. as it does now.
Dave Chesson, a spokesman for the transportation department, responds: Depending on traffic conditions, the ramp meter lights on the 41st Street on-ramp to northbound I-5 are typically turned on between 2 and 3 p.m.
The ramp meter at 41st allows only one vehicle per lane during each green light, creating a 4-to-15 second delay between cars entering the highway. This delay helps reduce disruptions to I-5 traffic and reduces collisions that can occur when vehicles merge onto the highway.
Ramp meters are used to reduce collisions and decrease travel times for drivers. Without ramp meters, multiple cars try to merge simultaneously and drivers on the freeway slow down to allow them to enter, and these slower speeds quickly cause backups. If cars enter the highway in controlled intervals, they are less likely to cause a disruption to the traffic on the freeway. A short wait on the ramp increases average freeway speeds and shortens overall freeway travel times. Ramp meters can also reduce the number of collisions that often occur when multiple vehicles merge onto the highway at the same time.
As the writer mentions, traffic can use the eastbound trestle shoulder between 3 and 7 p.m. weekdays. We selected these hours based on analysis of traffic volumes, so that we provide the most benefit for travelers. We need to balance good traffic flow against having the shoulder available for vehicles to use in case of breakdowns or emergencies. Traffic volumes begin increasing at 2 p.m. and are at their peak between 3 and 6 p.m., before they start dropping off. During off-peak periods, volumes are lower and speeds are higher, so the shoulder lane would have little additional benefit if it was available. At this time we don't have any plans to change or expand the hours of operation.
More information about ramp metering is available at www.wsdot.wa.gov/Traffic/Congestion/rampmeters/ and www.wsdot.wa.gov/Projects/US2/TrafficManagement/default.htm

Message from the FDIC
In the last issue of Money Smart News, we noted that the FDIC is proudly observing our 75th anniversary. Because of the FDIC, bank customers can rest assured that their insured deposits will not be lost in a bank failure. As a part of our anniversary observance, the FDIC has launched a campaign to increase awareness of deposit insurance coverage.
FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair recently said "now more than ever, its important for people to know their deposit insurance limits." The best way to be worry-free about your money is to become more informed about deposit insurance as well as your personal finances. In this issue, you will learn more about the FDICs 75th anniversary campaign that includes awards to innovative financial educators.

The campaign includes national advertising, a multi-city outreach effort, and an award program for outstanding work in financial education.

Nominations will be accepted through October 31. (For more information about the new education campaign and the new award program, go to: http://www.fdic.gov/anniversary.)

The FDIC has created a Web site for consumers, financial institutions, educators and others seeking information on foreclosure prevention. (Read more.) Additionally, financial educators who discuss shopping for a home loan could be interested in sample consumer disclosures that federal regulatory agencies published in May to help explain key features of certain adjustable-rate mortgages and the potential for payment shock if interest rates go up significantly.

A 21-year-old man arrested Wednesday on suspicion of using a stolen credit card at a Walmart in Norwalk was identified as half of the brain trust responsible for stealing a video camera from a church.
Tips from the public helped lead deputies to Hector Munoz, whose image was captured on video March 19 when he and an unnamed suspect stole a video camera from LVN Church at 11910 Alondra Blvd., said sheriff's Detective Phil Fernandez of the Norwalk Station.
The other suspect remains at large, but detectives know what he looks like.
Images of the pair were captured on video as they rode up to the church on bicycles, climbed a wall and stole a camera.
The illegal credit card purchases were made Feb.13, Fernandez said, but it was unclear where the credit card came from.

Discussion in 'Off-topic Zone' started by MFWitt63, Jan 20, 2013.
have room for a new show, cant decide which one to watch
Have you watched all of Homeland?
I'll be watching both. I watched The Following tonight and really liked it. I believe it has a lot of promise.
I like "Dark Matters: Twisted but true" on Science channel and "Mysteries at the Museum" on Travel channel. Both Infotainment style shows.
Watched the Following.
Completely forgot about the Americans as I was also recording SYFY Mondays
The Americans premiers January 30th on FX.
The Following was pretty good.
I watched The Following. It looks to be fairly well done. Has a little bit of that Silence of the Lambs mojo.
But to me it's just too overboard...literally as if satan was behind it. It takes so much to shock people now and it's a battle out there to see who can go the furtherest legally on a non-cable channel.
Nothing good can come out of a show like that.
For that reason, it'll probably be a hit. lol
I'll record the Amercians and check that out as well.
I thought the following was a bit over the top as well.
Can we get one show where the hero cop / detective isnt an alcoholic?
Well the cop/FBI agent is an addict(gambling) in that show.
Bones always acted a little "off" herself.
Forget both
Watch Bachelor. Enjoy the drama of a married man.
I wanna kill myself.
He said alcoholic and Booth was the first one to come to mind :laugh2:
no im still halfway through the first season...im sure with those actors that its phenomenal
It is. We watched all of that and Downton Abbey recently. Both series are great.
Yeah, I watched Homeland in about a week and a half recently. Really liked it but wonder how a certain character is going to be used in season 3.

Emma Watson Gossip
Emma Watson gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Emma Watson Shouting Brilliance In The Wind
Jon Furniss/ Corbis/ Splash News
One of my favourite Twitter feeds is "Probably A Feminist", devoted to retweeting people who say things like "I'm not a feminist but women should get equal pay for equal work." Or "I'm not a feminist but I believe in all the generally agreed-upon goals of feminism. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
The internet blew up on Friday before Oscar weekend because there was a rumour about Prince Hot Harry and Emma Watson. Definitely a Gossip Genie moment. Supposedly, when Harry heard that Emma is now single, he emailed her to say he wanted to get to know her and they went out, with 12 of her friends, so it wouldn't be as awkward. Read Full Intro
Emma Watson is officially a Disney princess
Crowder/ Legge/ Getty Images
She was already halfway there. Some people just have that "living cartoon" look, like they were drawn by Disney animators then stumbled out of Cool World on accident. Emma Stone has that look and Tom Hiddleston too—he's a live-action Disney prince if ever there was one. Emma Watson also looks like a live-action Disney character, and it's now official as she's been cast in Disney's live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast. Full Story
Emma Watson, crusader
Wenn, Splash
Six months ago, Emma Watson was named UN Women Goodwill Ambassador. She spoke at the UN in New York yesterday to promote a campaign called HeForShe, encouraging men to advocate for women's rights and gender equality. Her speech was thoughtful and inclusive, arguing that gender stereotyping disadvantages men too – in their roles as fathers, and/or if they are dealing with mental illness, and/or if they are pressured to conform to the social expectation of how a Man should be. Full Story
Jennifer Lawrence's summer tan

A very tan, very relaxed Jennifer Lawrence, also one of Dior's ambassadors, was at the haute couture presentation today in Paris. She posed with Sidney Toledano, Dior CEO, and was also seated next to him. Emma Watson was on his other side. I like Emma's dress a lot better than Jennifer's. Full Story
Emma Watson graduates
Emma Watson graduated from Brown University this weekend. Here she is at the commencement ceremony yesterday in Rhode Island. I love that this is still… monumental. That having a degree – in her case English literature – is still a big deal. She may have been the only graduate with her own security team but the excitement was the same. Full Story
Emma's red carpet wedding
Wenn, Jeff Moore/ Splash
Noah did solid business at the box office this weekend opening at $44 million which means… it's not a flop. Considering that the film has made almost $100 million overseas already, I'd say the studio is now much more relieved. Or maybe the bad press that surrounded the movie actually helped in the end? People were curious about the controversy. Full Story
More bold lip and better reviews
Wenn, Eddie Mejia/ Splash
I love everything about Emma Watson's look at Letterman yesterday. All of it. Even the slingback and I'm not normally feeling a slingback. But the suit is beautifully tailored. And the pant length is amazing. And I'm never going to complain about a crisp white shirt. You'll note, Emma continues to work the bold lip. Full Story
Emma off the carpet
Pacific Coast News
On the carpet it's a bold lip and designer dresses. Off the carpet it's still designer, probably, but much more casual. Coveralls. She looks so cute in coveralls. These photos were taken the other day in Madrid as Emma Watson was having lunch with her new boyfriend Matthew Janney. Full Story
Bold lips = more mature?
FameFlynet, Gabriel Solera/ Carlos Alvarez/ Getty
Emma Watson's been wearing a bold lip consistently for months. And she continues to wear a bold lip through the early part of the press tour for Noah, here in Madrid for the premiere last night. I'm obsessed with this outfit. But I'm more obsessed with her face. She looks amazing with hair swept to the side (I need that hair accessory!) and, yes, that bold lip. Full Story
Emma Watson's long black dress
Wenn, Andreas Rentz/ Getty
Wow. Emma Watson looked spectacular last night at the Berlin premiere of Noah. It's just a black dress with an interesting back. It's not the greatest black dress I've ever seen. And from certain angles, the material seems kinda prommy. But none of that matters because of the styling. Full Story

Question about fletching glue.
Hey fellas,
Well first off I should say long time no chat, I have been a little busy to write so here it goes. I got my new Hogg It sighted in, man what a sight. Enough said about that. Now to my problem I am having. I have been using Fast Set Gel glue to fletch my arrows and I notice that when I took one of my arrows out of the jig there was a bunch of white reidue between the vanes. Is this due to the cyanoacrilite or what ever that big word is causing this. Is that a sign of to much glue being used on my vanes, or is it a cleaning problem that needs to be addressed on the arrow shaft. I fletch with blazers, and specs say that vanes need not to be cleaned before fletching. Next question, is there any way to get this residue off, I know that it is just a cosmetic ordeal, but it sure looks ugly, and it appears that you dont know what you are doing when it comes to fletching.. Please give me some insight on this problem.Switchback 28"

"A bad day of target shooting is still better than a good day of work".
I used to have the same problem, not sure what the answer is but I started using Flex-Bond adhesive by Flex-Fletch Products and I have not had the problem since. takes a little longer to dry but I have never had to fletch Arrows the morning of a shoot eitherI cut things up and split them down!
Glue problem?
I've used Fletch-Tite for over ten years and never had a problem, okay one; I left the glue in a spot where it froze. I've used Tip Grip for the past year and it's been great as well.
Did you keep the glue in a high moisure area, was it sealed tight or did it get cold? The Cyanoacrylate adhesives bond can be weakened, allowing disassembly, by placing the glued object in a household freezer for several hours.Keith

Are you using Goat Tuff glue? I have seen this happen with that product. I use AAE Quick Set Gel and have never had a problem.

I have had that happen also .I started useing loc tight super gel .With the blazers I light sand the shaft's and the bottom of the blazers ,put a small thin line of the glue on and set the clamp .Instent bond ,you can take the clamp off and shoot them . You cant pull them off .Work's the best I have ever tryed and I have tryed them all,AAE fast set gel ,Goat tuff ,Beyond bond ,Platinum .All the other glues work great on other vains but the Blazer's .Just my 2 cent's
Glue problems
I use a fast set glue also and I would get the white residue on there. I came to the conclusion that it was the fumes coming off of the glue on the vane. Because the first time I used it after the arrows were done I put them in my arrow case and the next day I opened the case and the chemical smell in the case was overpowering and ......... white haze on the shaft by the blazers what I actually did was take a wet wash cloth and just wiped it all off. sometimes I had to get a little physical with em had to show who was boss! All fast set glue is is a high powered super glue that is a little thicker in consistency so its easier to use have you ever seen a white haze around something that you have super glued I have plenty of timesTarget: Hoyt ProElite XT3000 C2, 60# 30", CBE Quad Lite, CBE 3x .019, Trophy Taker, Easton Fatboy 400's(indoor) lightspeed 400 (outdoor)

Well, it looks like the Mets landed their ace. I didn't think they had it in them. And, part of me still wonders if they might not have given up too much. I'd been on record as being against this because I didn't want them to ravage their farm system.
That they are keeping Mike Pelfrey and Fernando Martinez is important and lessens my concern. They really aren't giving up a "can't miss," guy, but then we might not know that for another five years or so.
In Pelfrey, they have a pitcher to plug in next year for Pedro Martinez or Orlando Hernandez, and Martinez might be ready to take over for Moises Alou.
So, do you like it or not?

Choco color wolf Edit
can i become a janitor thingy pleaseChoco color wolf 04:57, July 12, 2010 (UTC)
- You need some more experience on the wiki. And by that I don't mean number of edits, I mean time spent on the wiki. Just give it time. fingernails 05:00, July 12, 2010 (UTC)
Request for adminship Edit
Since joining this wiki I have been a dedicated user, creating several pages, doing lots of cleanup work, and being an active and productive member of "Team Twilight". Therefore, I would like to be considered for a position as an administrator, with the following powers:
- Deleting and undeleting pages, page histories, and uploaded files.
- Locking (protecting) a page so it cannot be edited or renamed by users without admin rights.
- Blocking IP addresses or user names from editing; and very quick "rollback" of undesirable edits.
- Editing the interface by changing system messages and skins.
I promise to use these additional functions wisely, without prejudice, and for the good of the wiki. I know that I am not as experienced as many of the wonderful and devoted users of this wiki, but I am motivated, rigorous, and principled. If I were to do anything that the rest of the administrators disapproved of I would not take offence at being reprimanded. I hope that you are agreeable to letting me join the admin team on this brilliant website.
Thank you very much and best regards,
BlondieEllie 11:39, September 11, 2010 (UTC)
- First off, thank you for all the great work you've done here so far, and for wanting to improve the site even more by being an admin. However, I think you need to spend more time gaining experience on the wiki before being considered for adminship. You really only started editing here at the end of July, which was just a month and a half ago. So I personally decline your request, but I'll ask some of the other admins to give their opinion as well since we should make this decision together. Now that being said, since you have shown yourself to be a trustworthy editor I would support giving you rollback rights, which would help you fight vandalism more effectively. Sorry that it's not the answer you were hoping for. -TagAlongPam (talk) 04:24, September 12, 2010 (UTC)
- As Pam suggested, I do think you may need a little bit more experience. Including learning more about the non-admin side of the wiki and more about the tools you plan to use, such as proper rationales for deletion and protecting, when to ban users etc. You can find examples of these in the log. You appear to be a good candidate for future administrator, though, I would most likely support a future request when you have gained some more experience. You're on a good track but as of this moment, I'll just support the rollback rights. fingernails 05:07, September 12, 2010 (UTC)
- Bollocks... I guess I should've put thoughts on here instead of clogging up Pam's talk page, but I digress. I do think you've created some worthwhile pages and relevant categories. I definitely think you can handle the rollback rights. I'd say let's see how that goes and then reevaluate later on. If worse comes to worst you can always blackmail the admins to get your adminship -- that's how I got mine. LuckyTimothy 05:27, September 12, 2010 (UTC)
- I thought that I might be told that I need to gain experience and spend more time on the wiki before being considered for adminship. I will continue to crontribute regularly and I would be happy to be given rollback rights, thank you.

Request for the allowance to giving out Achievement Awards Edit
I would like to have the allowance to give out the Achievement Awards.
I would like to be a part of this Wiki, but I think there are enough active Admins, who cares about Vandalism, also I would like to get an Admin, but I know that it would be a big response.
Also LuckyTimothy cares now about the Achievement Awards very well, but I think It could get better if two cares about the Awards.
— Johannes Kalliauer (talk)♥ 09:08, September 12, 2010 (UTC)
- Kmanwing was in charge of handing out the Achievement Awards, so you may want to ask if he minds. I think the reason he stopped taking care of the requests is that we got a new awards system where they are given to users automatically (the badges), which is much easier for us. With the new system nobody has to make requests, nobody needs to give out the awards, and they are added to a person's user page immediately. I was considering deleting the outdated awards, but if people still want them then you are welcome to hand them out. -TagAlongPam (talk) 17:16, September 12, 2010 (UTC)
- The Userpages got locked, so I can't hand out the Achievement Awards anymore.

Becoming an Admin Edit
Hi, I've been wanting to become an admin since I created an account here like at the end of 2009, I know how to work all the templates, fix a page, undo an edit and watching the wiki all the time. I think I have the expierence of a admin since I have a lot of wikis I created( which are now inactive because I only watch this one now).It's been a fun time watching the wiki grow up ;.;. Also, I follow the wikis twitter and facebook :D [user • talk] 22:48, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
- Hey Twifan! Me speaking, I feel you've had a good amount of experience and a good candidate (Hope I spelled that right XP). I suppose now we see what the other admins feel :). -TLE
- Sorry it's taken me so long to respond to you. Your request has been a tough one. I have looked through your contributions and have been paying attention to your edits, and I can see that you have been a constructive editor here for quite some time. However, the majority of your recent edits have been comments, so it's hard for me to tell if you really understand the tasks you would be expected to perform as an admin (and if you would even want to perform them). I would suggest that you watch the edits some of the other admins and I make, such as when we revert edits, delete pages, remove comments, block users, etc. Now obviously nobody is expected to know everything before becoming an admin (I'm still learning things too), so I am not against giving you the rights. But I'd like to see what some of our other admins think before making a final decision (you already have TheLunarEclipse's vote in your favour). -TagAlongPam (talk) 21:20, September 27, 2010 (UTC)
- ::::I say we elevate her! She has pleanty of experience and I'm sure she wont abuse any power, knowing her as well as I do. :) (talk) 19:55, November 23, 2010 (UTC)
Request for rollback-rights Edit
I would like to get Rollback-rights as you gave them to BlondieEllie, cause I think I could help to revert vandalism.
I will use the additional permission carefully and wisely.
In October I will start to go to College/University, so I won't be as active as I'm now.

Request for adminship Edit
As soon as i joined i wanted to be an administer and i really wish that i could become one
- Hey Animeangel1998! By no means am I speaking for TagAlongPam, but like what was said in an earlier request, you have only been here a month, and it would be best for you to have some time to experience the wiki and get the hang of things around here. I'm not saying you'll never be one, just that it would be better to get some more experience :) -TLE
- I have to agree with TheLunarEclipse, for the same reasons that I told BlondieEllie. Just keep editing and learning the ways of the wiki and maybe you can become an admin in the future. -TagAlongPam (talk) 21:20, September 27, 2010 (UTC)
Request for becoming an adminEdit
I was wondering if I could become an admin on this wikia. I have been on here for almost 2 months and now I come on regularly, meaning every day, sometimes every second day. I have made 121 edits at the moment, received 14 badges. I want to be a administrator so I can help the Twilight Saga Wikia become a better site, meaning to make it safer and more user friendly.
Thanks, TeamEdwardFan
- Thanks for the request, but you also need more experience on the wiki before being considered for adminship. Sorry! -TagAlongPam (talk) 21:20, September 27, 2010 (UTC)
A request for adminship (again).Edit
I'm requesting adminship...again. I know I comment a lot, but I also edit a lot, too. I clean up vandalism with my rollback rights (which I deeply appreciate), I make sensible main page edits, I make pages that don't get deleted, and I have come to know source code and this Wiki very well. I can proudly say that I'm a fairly sensible user. I log on nearly everyday not just to interact with other users, but to edit and make changes (in a positive way) to this Wiki. I've been on for at least eight months now, I have over 10,000 edits (though many are comments I admit), I've been here since May 2011, and I'm even ranked #3 on the Leaderboard. I pretty much know this Wiki inside and out. I know I can seem to have the temper and bite of a Quileute shape-shifter (I'm not that bad, I promise), but I'm very hardworking. The Twilight Saga Wiki is a great place, and I just want to make it even better, so by being an admin, I think I could help out a lot. Please consider me as an admin. I would love to be one and I would be good at it. I will exterminate the trolls, flay out the vandalism, keep this Wiki clean, etc.
Thanks, TeamTaycob 14:44, January 13, 2012 (UTC)
- You definitely seem to have learned a lot about this place in the last little while (in terms of organization, categories, images, vandalism...), and your edits have been a big help to us. I could see you using admin rights well. Only one issue to bring up: you mentioned your temper. I'm not so worried about the temper itself, but being an admin would mean you'd need to tread a little more carefully with those anti-Jacob/pro-Edward users. Some of them are trolls, yes, but you'd need to avoid feeding them and ensure that your Team Jacob-ness doesn't make you biased (especially when it comes to non-trolls who are just very vocal about their love of Edward). If that all sounds reasonable, then I would be happy to make you an admin. -TagAlongPam (talk) 04:52, January 31, 2012 (UTC)
- I will not come off as biased, I promise. I will be the best darn Team Jacob (though not biased) admin out there. Thank you!
- TeamTaycob 05:00, January 31, 2012 (UTC)
I am requesting adminshipEdit
Click Expand to show my other requests
Hi, my name is Edward_Is_Better_23 and I am requesting adminship on the Twilight Saga Wiki. This is what I will do if I am an admin on this wiki.
- I will try my best to help make this wiki better with you here to guide me on how to be an admin.
- I will help fight again trolling
- I will help you design and make new pages possible and readable.
- I will do anything it takes to help promote this wiki.
- I will try my hardest so that I can help the admins have an easier job (I.E-Have a person who is making their work loads lighter then it is already)
If you are not looking for anymore admins I will accept that. If you say that I need more expirence on here, I would gladdly take that as a learning tool to help me use the templates, the features and medias and most of all the pages.
My Coffin • Message Me, I won't bite • My Blood Bank
- We appreciate your enthusiasm and hope you will continue to edit here, but you have a lot more to learn before being considered for adminship. You have only been here for one month, and that's not enough time to become really familiar with the wiki. Sorry. -TagAlongPam (talk) 04:59, January 31, 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the heads up, and I will taken in everything you havd said. I need more expirence on here for a while to learn how to use all the things that are being used every day. So I am going to do so. If it is possible for me to have Rollback rights. I will read everything that is involved in it. So if this is possible just message me on my talk page. TagAlongPam, this is one of the best wiki's out there. If you need any help just ask me and I will give it to you.
My Coffin • Message Me, I won't bite • My Blood Bank
Being an admin is and has been a dream of mine and I am wondering if I can stay on here for another three more months can I be an admin. I am like so wanting to be one, I am not going to be biased with my jugdment and or be bregdious to others. I will respect others opinions. If not, can I be a Rollback moderator. Because it is the closed thing to be noticed or respected on here. I am so sorry for my past edits and mishap and I am generally sorry. Please forgive.
My Coffin • Message Me, I won't bite • My Blood Bank
- Can I have rollback rights instead of being an admin, or at least a chat moderator on here, I will do the best as I can. Because this wiki has been a fave of mine, so please can I be granted rollback or chat moderator on here.
- Thanks
My Coffin • Message Me, I won't bite • My Blood Bank
- Can I say something real fast? Honestly, Jess, I don't think rollback or chat mod rights will come to you too soon. When you edit, they're reverted most of the time. Also, you rarely chat. I know this isn't my place to say anything, but I had to put my input here. TeamTaycob 02:29, June 20, 2012 (UTC)
- I do agree with you, so maybe in the future you or the other admins might even make me a rollback officer or at least a chat moderator on here, but that is in time, I am just going to have to be a little bit more patient and wait till a good thing happens. Plus I wasn't mad at you, you were speaking the truth and I honestly wasn't mad. So thanks for the heads up.
I would like to request for rollback rights, due to I have learnt a lesson from all you admins and I will be your apprentice and canvas for you to mould into a user who is like your self. So please make me a rollback officer if not a janitor.
:The wiki does not need any more admins. Additionally, the requester has proven over and over again her unsuitability to the job. I vote against awarding adminship. MinorStoop 08:01, June 20, 2013 (UTC)
- Pointed out that the request is for rollback rights. Previous comment out of place. MinorStoop 12:01, June 20, 2013 (UTC)
Admin (or rollback) request Edit
Hello. I'd like to be an admin, if that's okay. I know I've only been here for, like, 3 months but I feel like I could be a great help to the wiki if I was an admin; I'm an admin on a few other wikis, so I have an idea on what it's all about. If you think I'm not ready for becoming an admin, you could give me rollback rights...but it's all your decision. But, if you feel that I'm not ready for either admin or rollback rights, that's fine with me. :) --Love and Lust
- Well, since I seem to keep interfering... As far as I can tell, L&L's edits are good ones. However, since there's no really urgent of a new admin, I recommend she be awarded rollback. Best, MinorStoop 12:35, January 31, 2012 (UTC)
- Since I seem to keep butting in like MS here, I would also like to support L&L being awarded with rollback rights. She makes good edits. TeamTaycob 03:10, February 13, 2012 (UTC)
- Rollback rights granted. Let me know if you have any questions. -TagAlongPam (talk) 04:30, February 13, 2012 (UTC)
A request for sysop rights...again Edit
I'm fully aware that this is my second request. I want to help this Wiki, and I feel that if I'm an admin, I'll be able to do so a lot more. I'm very dedicated; I log on to the Wiki every day (when I have the time, that is), I fight vandalism/spam and I respect the users here, and I've been a user here for 6 months. I also make good, reasonable edits around here and I don't have a history of being blocked. As I said on my first request, I have experience with adminship. Thank you! --Love and Lust
- You might want to message Pam about your request at the moment. She's on vacation and I don't know how much she checks this page even when she is here. LuckyTimothy 20:18, March 18, 2012 (UTC)
- Just left her a message. --Love and Lust
I would like to be an admin, please. I read all the Twilight books, including the short second life of bree tanner, and I even have the official twilight saga guide, AND the twilight graphic novel volume 1. I watched all the 4 movies, and I had lots of experience with the twilight saga.—Preceding unsigned comment added by JuliaPierce (talk • contribs)
--It doesn't work like that, I am not an admin. But, you have you get high in the ranks and be focused for about 2 years.
—Preceding unsigned comment added by LovelyChrys (talk • contribs)
- Being an admin has more to do with experience on the wiki than with experience related to the Twilight books/films. Some of our best editors don't even particularly like Twilight. You need to spend a lot more time editing here and learning about the wiki before you'd be considered for adminship. -TagAlongPam (talk) 03:01, June 14, 2012 (UTC)
- I'd also add that there is currently no real need for another admin on the wiki. MinorStoop 05:24, June 14, 2012 (UTC)
Second request or adminship.Edit
This is my second request, but I don't really care. I know im not as expirenced as some of the other users here, but mostly my edits are good. I am also a admin and bureaucrat on the Romeo and Juliet movie wiki, which does show a bit of good work. At least give me a chance. I also feel as a admin I'll be able to do much more. I log on to the wiki mostly everyday, and I basially know this wiki top to bottom. I've never been blocked before, so that stands for something. I'm not that bad am I? I hope you accept me as a admin, or even rollbacks or something will do. Thanks for your time admins, LawrenceGirl 10:57, July 25, 2012 (UTC)
librarian13 Edit
Hello, ive been reading a number of your articles for the past few months and so far have covered a variety, and im a proffesional scholar and librartian with the reasoning and jdgement i simply wish to be added as an admin, as to be able to have full acces to the site, wishing you many happy returns, libraian 13. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Librarian13 (talk • contribs)
p.s. i only started editing today because i was scared i would only make matters worse.
- Spelling does not appear to support the "proffesional scholar" statement. MinorStoop 19:05, April 1, 2013 (UTC)
- A number of extremely wild categorization on pages prompts me to recommend *against* promoting this user to adminship. MinorStoop 23:39, April 1, 2013 (UTC)

Hi, İ love Volturi (special Demetri) and if i were administrator i think volturi section is going beautiful (already beatiful but better than that) please contact me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DemetriErhan (talk • contribs)

ITRB Promotes Intergovernmental Collaboration
February 1, 2000
Contact: Eleni Martin, (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON -- At a seminar sponsored by the Danish Government, Kenneth Heitkamp of the Department of the Air Force and a member of the Information Technology Resources Board (ITRB), recently delivered a presentation on best practices in information technology in the United States.
"The ITRB emphasizes investing in information technology and wisely managing information resources," said Heitkamp. "Since many of the challenges we face are similar, the ITRB is committed to sharing ideas and best practices in using information technology with Federal, State, and international government agencies as well as with our counterparts in private industry"
The seminar was sponsored by the Danish Deputy Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of Research and Information Technology to involve a variety of government and industry leaders in sharing ideas and best practices in using information technology with an emphasis on electronic government initiatives. Heitkamp discussed lessons learned, results and recommendations regarding major computer information technology projects that were based on reviews conducted by ITRB over the past several years. He also shared information on developing practical strategies for managing information systems.
Heitkamp is one of 15 members of the ITRB. This board consists of senior IT, acquisition, and program managers and practitioners with proven experience developing, acquiring, and managing information systems in the federal government. Members are drawn from a cross section of Defense and civilian agencies and bring a broad perspective on management, technical, and procurement issues. The primary focus of the ITRB is to provide a confidential peer review of major system initiatives at the request of the Office of Management and Budget or an agency and to publicize lessons learned and promising practices without source attribution.

Just do a backup first bro!
Here is verizon on eBay: verizon iphone unlock official | eBay
That is more expensive on eBay than other places but I hope you see it now.
I am surprised that you are preparing for a jailbreak at all yet. You have stated numerous times that until there is video proof, the jailbreak claims are not true.
Did you have a change in heart? This also does not follow the history of jailbreak procedures that you like to profess as always repeating itself. That makes this jailbreak an unprecedented event! How are you dealing with this being in totally uncharted territory here?
I was just pondering these questions this morning as I was catching up on some reading.
From Planetbeing this am:
@evad3rs_team: if all goes well, iOS 6.1 #jailbreak untethered will go public on sunday plz retweet
But where's the video evidence that you had to have last week?
This could be the greatest hoax yet!
Thanks Simon, guess I missed that with all the hype over upgrading to 6.1, too much useless info in my brain. I need to purge it to make room for new junk.
Sorry bro, my bad. Carry on.

BREAKING: Ex-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick sentenced to 28 years in prison for corruption
DETROIT (AP) — Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick has been sentenced to 28 years in prison for corruption that turned city hall into a pay-to-play parlor.
Kilpatrick was convicted earlier this year of two dozen crimes, including racketeering conspiracy, bribery and extortion. There was evidence of shakedowns, kickbacks and strong-arm tactics to reaped tens of thousands of dollars and other benefits from people who wanted city business.
The sentence was a victory for prosecutors, who had recommended Kilpatrick serve at least 28 years in prison, while defense attorneys argued for no more than 15 years.
Kilpatrick quit office in 2008 after a different scandal involving sexually explicit text messages and an extramarital affair. The 43-year-old Democrat served as mayor for nearly seven years.

Man accused of kidnapping a teen and her mother arrested
WCBD-TV: News, Weather, and Sports for Charleston, SC
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
After a day-long search, the suspect wanted for allegedly kidnapping a girl and her mother from Berkeley County has been found
Telly McClam, 36, was found in Lane, SC, about five miles away from where authorities began the search for McClam after he led police on a chase and then fled on foot to a wooded area. Close to 75 different people from more than ten agencies assisted with the search.
According to the Williamsburg County Sheriff, a neighbor called 911 after seeing a man who patched McClam's description walking into a home. When authorities reported to the scene, they realized the home belong to some of McClam's relatives who told police they missed the suspect by five minutes. Then, around 10 p.m. Monday, McClam was caught walking along some railroad tracks.
Sheriff Michael Johnson said McClam surrendered without incident but was armed with a revolver. Officials say it is likely that the suspect was attempting to board a train out of town.
Earlier Monday, authorities say McClam kidnapped a girl and her mother from two separate Berkeley County homes. Family of the victims say that McClam and the were mother were dating until the suspect allegedly attacked one of the mother's daughters.
Authorities said they were in Williamsburg County interviewing some family of McClam when they saw his car. Johnson said there was a pursuit. McClam then got out of the car, leaving the two victims and ran into a wooded area on foot.
The two victims were taken to MUSC.
McClam is back in Berkeley County facing two kidnapping charges. Williamsburg officials said they may charge McClam criminal sexual conduct and burglary, following an investigation.
He is a registered sex offender who spent 15 years in prison on kidnapping and 2nd degree criminal sexual conduct. McClam pleaded guilty to those charges in 1999 and was released from prison in 2012.
Berkeley County officials said McClam's bond court hearing is set for Tuesday evening. There is still no word on the victims' conditions.

Instead he was abusive & disrespectful & he seems to continue that with every post.
Clearly he's a decent prospect, I doubt many here would dispute that but this sport is a lot more than that. It's about being a pro, be that being on weight, not dropping out of fights & how you talk to people. Any fighter with aspirations of bigger MMA companies need to be aware these are things that are important.
because he's very clever and uses the forum to generate a lot of interest, and everyone loves the trolling
I think Dana would love him.
Retired 2k and out.
I think Dana would prefer a fighter who came in on weight but from the pure trash talk side of things, he would go over well / be hated (which works just as well it seems)...
No doubting Enty is talented and can back up his shit talking fair play but its been said before he would make weight and missed - be nice to see him back up his words about making weight as much as he does about beating someone...
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
Yea but at least his making weight issues can be solved he seems to have the rest of his game in check etc.
Retired 2k and out.
Enty is going to go nuts, snubbed for Fighters Only award and not in top 3 of the Cage Warriors awards http://www.cagewarriors.com/news/art...ted_2013s_best

General Assembly: Statement by Ambassador Wittig at the Intergovernmental Negotiations on Security Council Reform
(as delivered:)
"Mr. Chairman,
I would like to join others in congratulating you on your reappointment as our Chair for this 10th round of Intergovernmental Negotiations. Let me assure you of our full support.
I wish to align myself with the statement delivered by Ambassador Mukerjee on behalf of the G4.
Let me also add a few points in my national capacity:
First and foremost, I commend our President and colleague, Ambassador John Ashe, for presenting us with a non-paper that has the potential to finally bring us from words to action.
The paper reflects in an objective and genuine manner the core of the proposals and ideas made by member states during the past rounds. As such, the non-paper should, as the President himself writes, be used as a guide for this new round of the IGN and beyond.
Mr. Chairman,
How to proceed from here, of course lies in your remit. But a look back may be helpful.
In 2009, for the first round of the IGN, you had structured the discussion along the five reform issues contained in decision 62/557.
This was a useful approach, meant to flesh out the scope of options and identify possible convergences.
In summarizing the discussion, you wrote to us in September 2009 that [I quote] "Member states over the course of three rounds of negotiations have now looked at the five key issues from virtually all possible different angles" [end quote].
Of course, many developments happened since then. Most importantly, we now have with the PGA's non-paper a useful tool that can help us overcome the current deadlock and look at these five issues afresh.
Another round of meetings, each dedicated to focused discussions on the ideas contained in the non-paper under the five reform clusters, could be helpful in identifying realistic options and possible convergences.
We cannot afford to waste yet another year by simply repeating known positions.
We should make use of the initiative taken by President Ashe to take the next logical step forward: Let us clearly identify where the membership stands on the various issues.
This, Mr. Chairman, would enable us to finally zero in on those options that have the potential to garner the Charta-mandated majority.
This would finally allow real give-and-take negotiations to identify convergences and see if and how positions evolve. This is how we are supposed to work in the UN.
This would also mean that by 2015, the 70th anniversary of the United Nations, we may finally have something concrete to show to our leaders who ten years ago had called for an early reform.
Mr. Chairman,
There is naturally an alternative course of action - or, to be more precise, course of inaction: We could simply continue our meetings for the next 70 years, based on a 30 page text, in the hope that by some miracle we reach consensus.
But let me be clear: Continuing this way will also ensure that the subject of our discussion, the Security Council, will in the meantime lose its relevance in the face of emerging challenges and shifting global realities.
I am sure that this is not what the vast majority of member states want.
So let us get to work. As always, my country stands ready to support you and all reform-minded partners in this endeavor.
Thank you."

Are you a member of a book group? We know there are a number of book groups in and around Watertown, and we want to connect with those dedicated readers. At the WFPL, we've been thinking strategically about how we can best encourage growth in our community of readers, and we have some ideas!
First we'd like to know about your group! Please write to us firstname.lastname@example.com and tell us how many people are in your group, how often you meet, where you meet, and if you have restrictions on what types of books you read (i.e., Fiction, Mystery, Non-Fiction, etc.) Be sure to include a contact name and email, so we know how to reach you.
Second, did you know that we can help you secure enough books for your group? We can! Once you know your upcoming titles, let us know what you'll be reading, when you plan to read it, and how many copies you'd like: we'll have them brought here from other libraries and can keep them here for your members to pick up at their convenience.
Third, we want the ardent readers in town to stay connected. We promise not to clutter your inbox with SPAM, but we'd like to keep you apprised of great events! What if two book groups in town independently choose to read the same book? Mightn't it be cool to combine forces for one read? What if an author your group read 3 months ago is going to be speaking locally? Wouldn't it be nice to be in the know? What if the library were going to sponsor a series of author talks? Wouldn't you like to have input into who we bring in? Perhaps all of the small book groups would like to band together to read our annual Community Read choice (One Book, One Watertown)?
There are so many wonderful possibilities; but the first step is getting connected. Please contact us, and tell us what we can do for YOUR group. Or if you're an individual in search of a book group, let us know that, as well! And, of course, if your group would like to meet here at the library, we'd be happy to help reserve a room for you at a convenient time.
We look forward to hearing from you, and reading with you!
Written by Reference Librarian Jill.
Book goroup summit?
Hey Jill,
Great idea! If you ever decide to organize a little meet-up for the groups let me know. I'd be happy to help make such a thing happen.
Great idea!
Thanks, Karen - that's a great idea! We'll keep you and your group in the loop, for sure!

Independent Clinical Social Worker
118 Adams Street, Suite 203, Fairmont, West Virginia 26555
Grief & Loss are a part of life. No one escapes them, yet our experiences with grief and loss are each unique and painful. As a therapist I first encourage suffering clients to be patient with themselves and provide them with skills to work with well-meaning--but not always helpful--family and friends. There is no one right method of grieving. I work with each client to help them identify what their needs are: perhaps it is someone to listen to them share memories of the person who is gone, or it may be just being there as they mourn silently. What is important is that you accept your feelings nonjudgmentally.
