Sumit is our CPA exam blogger from India. He writes for us every Monday.
Folks – Thank you for visiting my blog page.
Today I will talk about distraction and interruption while studying for a professional exam such as CPA, and my few tips to overcome this issue.
Honestly studying with full concentration is really a tough task. I get carried away with distraction and interruption which is annoying. I wonder why such distraction has a huge impact in our day to day life which stops us in achieving the desired goal (in my case, studying for a CPA exam).
The effectiveness of your study time is only as good as your ability to focus and concentrate while studying. Few things which has helped me make my study time productive and effective –
- Choosing a quality study environment
- Decreasing any internal or external distractions
- Limiting my multitasking
Distractions and interruption
Distractions come in all shapes, sizes and sounds. External distractions include things like noise, people talking, TV, music, phone alerts, and anything else that diverts your attention from the task at hand. In my case phone alert is a biggest distraction. Internal distractions like hunger, fatigue, illness, stress, worries, other distracting thoughts (things you should be doing instead, things you'd rather be doing, etc.) can interrupt your concentration as much as external distractions.
When it comes to studying, multitasking is ineffective. I do multitasking at my work place, that is one of my strength however the same approach back fired for me when I applied it while studying. There may be other areas of our lives where multi-tasking is useful; however, studying and problem solving require deep concentration, and interruptions and distractions make it harder to focus and decrease your chances of recalling information later.
- Evaluate your study locations.
- Identify your distractions.
- Make a list.
- Schedule breaks.
- Vary your study strategies.
- Put away obvious distractions.
All the above mentioned distractions are part of my life which makes it more challenging for me to study with a focused approach. Having said that I have started keeping my phone on silent while studying and ensure that I close the door of my room to study in peace.
Watch out for the next Blog which will talk about "What is the best order to take the CPA exam in & number of subjects to be taken at a time"
Note from Stephanie
Distraction is one of the most common issues we face as candidates. I have a few bloggers who talked about this in their blogs, for example, Gavin has a post specifically on this for his CMA exam.
As Sumit said, the solution pretty much boils down to (1) self-discipline (2) be organized (3) be realistic e.g. the need to schedule in breaks. For those who want to explore the inefficiency in multi-tasking and other scientific research on studying tips, check out my brain power series.

my teenage son has no friends(52 Posts)
This is a bit long sorry.
I have read lots of comments on here about parents with children/teenagers without friends.
I know I'm not on my own as my son has no real friends either , but I do feel I am on my own, as my son has tried to make friends all through his school life and has been laughed at joked about and made fun of in the past by the other kids... so now he wont even try... he is 14yrs gets on really well with the staff and teachers at school and has one girl he talks to at break times ( as she is not in his classes the rest of the time) but that is it, (she also has her own set of friends that don't want to know my son.)
I have done all the things recommended over the years e.g invite other kids back to the house invited them on outings, joined him in activites such as Beavors scouts etc ; nothing has worked, he hated very activity he tried (even though he stuck it for a least a year) and the kids we invited back just played on there own even though i encoured games for them to play together, my son very rearly got an invite back to their homes.
He will soon have his school prom and he has said he doesn't want to go , this breaks my heart! he says he has no-one to go with and he would just be ignored and sat on his own.
He has interests that he occupies himself with e,g computors reading about computers and doesn't dwell on the fact he is on his own but I know it worries him and i know he would love to be a part of a friendship, but he says he has learned to put up with being alone.
I have spoken to his school who say that they can't force other kids to make friends with each other and they say my son does talk to a few other kids.
i asked him about the kids he speak to at school and would they like to come over one evening or bowling or cinema he says he doesn't want them to come over as it would be the same as before... they would say they are busy and he would look stupid.
I didn't have many friends at school and the 2 that i did have we were never really close and I don't have any real people that i could call close friends now we don't have close family either (due to family dynamics)so again there is no help there.
He spends every weekend on his own in his room and every evening.
I watch other lads the same age as my son go off on their bikes with their mates and know my son will never have that.
He can't rid a bike we have tried in the past .. he has eye and hand co-ordination issues. i have suggested eh try again but he isn't interested.
I asked the mum of a boy who lives in our close who's son is about the same age as my son but not at the same school ..if her son would like to come round and play some computer games with my son, but of course it never happened.
My son has aspergers but he is the upper end of the spectrum in that you wouldn't be able to tell on first meeting him...as he is well spoken open and friendly... I can hear you all saying " oh well thats why" but I know it cant be just that as other kids with much more servere aspergers at his main stream school who have friends.
I am at my wits end any advice is much appreciated ... sorry if I sound defeatist
sorry just responded to OP before realising he thread was years old.
Your boy will be ok OP, everyone is different and he will find more like minded people now he is out of the school environment.
I sent my teen boy to Tech Camp last year, it was recommended to me on mumsnet! Think they run courses/camps in London and Winchester (boarding if you live far)
It was really fab, he did inventor camp and loved it. He was with lots of likeminded boys who were al fascinated by technology (and maybe not the most outgoing/extrovert types. It was geeky, in a nice way).
Try to find his "spark" and run with it. I mention the Tech Camp as you mentioned computers. It si run by engineers/students of engineering/robotics. It was pricey (as they get to take kit they made home) but worth the money.
IMO, you find likeminded people if you follow your interest, be that birdwatching, tennis, stamp collecting, Starwars, football or tech stuff.
he just has to find his tribe.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Hi Happy Holiday and all other mums going through similar, I really feel for you all.
HH the strength you have amazes me and also the positivity as this situation is hard and I got very upset reading your post as I have similar issues with DS 16yrs and DD 13yrs. I am so glad to hear that your DS now is enjoying his work, that is a big thing anyway as lots of people hate their jobs!
They have some friends at school but they very rarely get invited anywhere and any attempts at having friends here, except sometimes at primary school, have proved fruitless. And the ironic thing is I am always told what lovely children I have by their teachers and other adults have said same.
The situation where I live doesn't help, it is 99% elderly people who keep themselves to themselves or old/middle-aged whose children are now grown and none of my neighbours are what you would call 'friendly' and they don't even take a passing interest or give a 'hello' to my two, which upsets me. If I see other peoples children eg neighbours visiting grandchildren, I will always say hello and be pleasant. Most children who have appeared out of the woodwork to play on our road have been downright nasty, with the odd exception, and then disappeared again over the horizon. Over the years I have felt isolation and desperation and now my son is leaving school soon after GCSE and I will be counting the days til Sept and college as I think he's in for a lonely summer at the moment.
HH I didn't want to steal your post but this thread seems to have been a bit of a meeting place for other mums and dad so I hope we can all support each other. Good wishes to everyone on here, keep strong.
Sometimes teens on the spectrum do need quite a bit of alone time as busy environments like school can be exhausting and social interaction at 14 gets harder, as teen hormones make friends emotions difficult to read, especially for kids with ASD. As he moves through school, things should get easier, if he does A levels in subjects he is good at, he will start to meet more like minded friends and higher education, as others have said, is much, much easier with many more high functioning teens on science and computer degrees. My DD had depression around this age alongside ASD traits, so I would agree with the poster who said focus on what he is good at he enjoys, maybe computer courses, or helping people in the community with computers. If he is happy spending time at home, try not to be so worried, if not, explore this type of thing where it sounds like he would shine firetechcamp.com/courses/teen-coding-python-0
Hi Happy, I'm glad to hear your son has a job he likes anyway. What he needs now is a hobby to help fill the weekends. I would like to think that adults are rather more accepting of peoples' differences than children/teenagers are so maybe he would have more luck 'fitting in' now? I belong to a few amdram societies and there are several people with Aspergers involved who are well accepted and enjoy it a lot - any chance your son might like it?
Otherwise is it possible he might find some friends online by joining some forums where they talk about the computer-geek stuff he's into?
I wish you and him all the best.
Haven't been o here for a while so didn't realise so many people had responed.
Just wondering how all those with children like my boy have got on ...has anytning gotbetter or stayed the same.
I hope the single parents among you have had some light at the end of the tunnel.
Singleparent 500...I am here at the end of the computor if ever you would like to chat would love to know if things have improved for you both.
Also Iliketosing..how is you boy? Tge same goes for anyone your welcome to PM me I will give you my email address.
my boy left school didnt stsy in 6th form as the teasing just got worse along with the isolation. He has a full time job at present and appears to enjoy it although he does have difficult days as we all do.
But he is coping and gets on well with the older generation that he works with.
Stilll no friends and still lost at weekends but we have to be gratful for what ever we can achieve in this life I suppose.
Northamptonparent yes he did try marshal arts but couldn't get to grips with it (please excuse the pun) also he didn't like all the swaty body odour.
H e loves his music and spends a lot of time listening to it ...I do wish he had a friend to share his interests with though.
please get in touch any one and let me know how things are going for you x
OP, I'm another one with an Asps HFA son, 13, with no friends (I'm a single mum with 2 SN DCs). He used to have loads of similar Aspie mates and would hang out with a few who'd be happy to listen to his mini 'lectures' at lunch break . But by aged 11, his friends were growing up and their interests were actually much more like your DSs - computers, gaming, electronics, maths, astronomy, physics.
Poor DS has his own special quirkiness that doesn't even fit with fellow Aspies. \he hates computers, maths and sciences. He's into writing and history and 1970s/80s sit coms and really 'different' completely unpopular niche things.
So he neither has NT friends nor Aspie mates these days. He does however pursue a few specialist clubs at school, although not actually socialising in them.
However, I too have no friends - mostly cos I don't have time for them these days. I've always loved my own company though and I think it helps that I can model happiness on my own - but not feeling lonely.
I still hope DS will regain some new friends one day and he does get on fine with older people/teachers. But if he remains fairly isolated across his life, I hope he can see that it's OK to be alone yet not lonely and to have interests that absorb you and fulfil you.
So whilst still looking for ways to help your DS connect with people, you can also help him to feel OK too about enjoying his own company. I'm sure he'll find many likeminded people anyway out there in the world beyond school. He'll never enjoy social chitchat but will thrive on talking about his specialist interest with others who share this too.
At times, I also feel heartbroken too that DS has no friends, is invited nowhere. It's especially hard as he used to have this big group of friends at primary school and now they still hang out together but he's not included. He actually now gets through this by saying he doesn't like them anyway anymore and that they've nothing in common. But for the first year I saw how hurt he really was.
DS does have a brother however and so he's often with him at home as other DS is also low on friends at the moment. The hardest part of all though is when other DS goes out to meet friends and Asps DS is home alone with me. I think I find this harder than he does though.
Have you tried martial arts or weight lifting Martial arts coaches have a reputation for being really good with lads who do nt fit in, and a certain percentage of the men who are into weights or martial seem to be on the spectrum.
I cannot understate the influence being in scouts had on both my daughter and my son.
Your son would join explorers which is a much more community based thing where he'd get involved in helping with cubs and beavers as well as being out with his own age group.
Yes, at first he's going to be in a group of people who already know each other, but they tend to be very sociable and inclusive. Not the top of the social ladder in their peer group generally but a well rounded group of individuals.
Just going to mention one thing which you've already touched on....
Does he listen to much? I know you mentioned piano was a failure.
Reason for bringing it up is its very mathematical, I've worked in IT for years and its amazing how many of us so called nerdy folk love music, play instruments, and are in bands at age 50+.
If he enjoys listening is there anywhere he can go to see local school bands for example? Guitar is also relatively easy to learn and a starter electric set up is quite cheap.
Breaking my one thing rule.....
Could he set himself up as a PC and laptop repair man, windows trouble shooter etc? Just ads in the local shop and paper, he sounds like he could set up his own website, it's very easy these days with hosting and template site maps etc.
Neither of those suggestions are particularly aimed at getting him friends directly, but they might up his visibility to others who have similar but for now perhaps peripheral interests.
My son is 16. He has friends, but is pretty quiet, does very little at week-ends, and doesn't really interact with teachers well, so they hate him! He was quite sporty, is very good looking, but has stopped all sports now he's in the 6th form, is wracked with feelings of self -doubt about his A level choices, spending hours researching courses at uni, and has zero self confidence.
I didn't do much at all when I was that age. Moped about walking the dog, played my guitar (not at the same time), felt mournful and horny and desperate to fall in love (yes, while playing the guitar). All utterly normal I know. But to see him "wasting his life away" breaks my heart too. Except he's just doing the same as I did, but with facebook etc. This is probably good and bad. Makes him feel less isolated, but sometimes more excluded! Brilliant for keeping up with the footie! Sitting alone seemingly moping in their bedroom is ok, it's what teenagers do, even the ones with frends don't really do much with them. They will learn to negotiate their way through life, including how to cope with unhappiness and lonliness, just like we have. I am aware of imprinting my own unhappiness onto his potential unhappiness, if imprinting is the word. I am aware that I must be careful of over-identifying with his teenage mopiness. He is not depressed, he is a normal teenager who navel gazes and is utterly self -aware and self-absorbed. I have decided to treat him like I treat my dog, make him do regular exercise by playing tennis with him and taking him to the gym, feeding him healthily and not being too intense about stuff. (I will start doing the latter from tomorrow.)
It would be so good to hear from parents of kids who WERE like this and became normal fulfilled happy-enough adults!
Forgot to mention Singleparent, your story is exactly the same as mine right down to the facebook nightmare. The only difference being that she is female. I cant sleep at night for worrying and feeling totally helpless about what to do. Would be really interested in your group. Thanks Paula
Hi SingleParent and all
I was just googling friends for shy anxious teenagers and I came across this post. My daughter who is 14 is currently suffering from social anxiety and stopped attending school at Easter because the anxiety was making her so ill. Since then the 2 friends she had in school have decided to ignore her messages and texts and she has no other social opportunities, as she cant tolerate large groups of 'populars', her words not mine. Anyway I am going to keep this short for now but would be really interested in any groups or contact between children in similar situations. Only tonight I caught her sobbing on her bed because she feels so lonely, its heartbreaking, she is a lovely, sensible kind girl but just has difficulties mixing with large loud groups.
Would love to hear from anybody who has any suggestions or who is starting a group. I live in Cheshire.
Hello happyholiday !
Sorry , My message is even longer ! ,,,
I have just turned to this site in despair and thankfully found your message which could have been me writing it as your situation is exactly the same as mine with my 15yr old son.
I've turned to the web in desperation on the usual dreaded Sunday night before school, when you your child is anxious and upset (even at 15yrs of age!) because he said he feels so alone at school and always struggles to make friends even out of school.
Tears rolled down my face when I read your message, as i said, it is identical to my situation. It is heartbreaking to see your child suffer and struggle like this, really dreading going to school, getting anxious and upset not wanting to go in?
I have also tried absolutely everything to invite friends round, I've taken them all on many days out, sleepovers, tea after school, but my son is still alone, rarely gets invited back as even most of the parents took advantage of me trying to entertain the children so my boys would have friends, but even they would not return the favour !
My son is desperate to make friends but finds it hard to approach them, he is desperately shy, quiet, low self esteem, and finds it hard to maintain friendships he has been bullied since primary school for being shy and dyslexic (so he was called thick and space cadet etc !! ) he has such low self esteem because is feels so lonely and that he does not fit in anywhere.
One thing in his favour is he is good looking, but feels such a failure inside. He is a lovely sensitive boy, can be rather lazy (or depressed?) because he is not motivated because he is alone.
I've tried to get school to help, he is totally lost in a huge secondary school and the support is virtually non-existent, hence he is still on his own at school and out of school.
He is at home every evening and weekend, Facebook makes it worse because everyone is in clicks and showing what a full-on popular life they are all having . He is totally wasting his life and I feel totally helpless especially as a single mum whose ex husband has no input in his or my other sons life. I feel so pressured myself and finding it hard to cope with all the responsibility and heartbreak of it all seeing how sad and unpopular he feels on top of all the other pressures and strains of everyday life.
I live in Cheadle Hulme cheshire 20 mins from Manchester if anyone else is in this situation.
I would be happy to set a group up in the area for other teenagers/children who feel lost, unpopular, etc who need to make friends in order for us to get our children a life worth living and confidence etc as there must be so many more like ours, of which anyone can contact me if this is if interest to anyone and their children.
Ps my son has only been diagnosed with dyslexia, and I wonder if this is under a similar umbrella of difficulties building friendships/relationships.
Any comments or advice on any of the above would be greatly appreciated . Many thanks for anyone who has read this far and still awake ha !!
Gosh - such a hard post to read. But this was me - though not with Aspergers. From the day I stepped into secondary school, I was mocked, teased, made fun of - and girls can be so bitchy. By the time I was 14, I just wasn't sure I would cope.
But I then realised I only had 4 more years of school - and somehow I just focused on my studies, kept to myself and when I left the toxic and horrible environment of school - I flourished. I met my true friends when I was 24 but met some pretty good people when I was 18 and went to Uni - a real melting pot. And people had grown up in the summer and realised (mostly) that you could be friends with people who weren't necessarily quite the norm.
Completely feel for you and your son. It is awful to wish away the school days (apparently the best time in your life - NOT!) but that was how I managed.
Focus on the future.
My boy is just about to turn 17, was diagnosed AS at age 9 and sounds very like your son. As he has gone through the school years he has come across a small group of 'oddballs' and they hang out together. They're a seriously nice bunch, not your usual sheep-like teenager, but intelligent and unique kids. They don't hang out outside of school, but my son much prefers being at home with things that interest him than being out in the big world.
My boy has become involved in a fantasy games club (Warhammer/Magic cards etc) and he loves it! the club is packed of full of (mostly) boys and men who are very like him. They don't chat about trivial real-life stuff, they just get involved in the games, the strategy and the rules.
If he loves computers and technology, would he like remote controlled aircraft? I have a couple of friends who are very techie and social phobic who love standing in a field talking electronics. The club has a wide age range and as they are all uber geeks, they are happy playing alongside each other.
It's sad to hear about all these lonely kids. You would think in this day and age that they could find someone who was on their wavelength.
*every year on fresher day on the uni course that that my father heads up, there are hundreds of students all under "A" umbrella , all just like your son, the left out one at school,
It's a brilliant day as they all realise for the first time they are normal ones, it's where they all come together, *
And not just uni. Getting the f*ck out of school did it for me. I am not on the spectrum that in know of, but was always considered odd. Didn't have close friends, though I did have a big group of acquaintances. I wouldn't have gone to a prom.
Once I got out in the real world of uni, college, work I have been free of stupid stifling social conventions of school kids and able to form one or two good friendships.
I will never have many friends and I am not a 24 hour party person by any means, but I like to think I make up in quality with a very small number of brilliant friends.
I think there is hope OP. School is a shit place for making friends.
weareinittogether I am sorry to hear about the situation you are in. But I suggest you start a new discussion thread so that more people can see it.
I don't have a son but my 14 yo dd has Aspergers, she has struggled with friendships all her life. She has 2 friends at school who she very occasionally socialises with.
She spends all her free time online and has loads of "virtual" friends. She can somehow manage online friendships through chat rooms.
Her bedroom door is always open and we live in a flat so the living room is right next door and I do check on her.
I used to worry about her being on her laptop too much but she's happy and it's a friendship group of sorts!
My sister was crippled by shyness at school and as an adult she is the most sociable person I know.
I really believe that school is the toughest stage and things will improve as they leave to do other things.
what area of the country are you? If you are Northampton way I can suggest some great clubs that are for high functioning aspergers. My son attends them.
I have one too. No formal dx of AS, but I suspect he's on the spectrum. Rubs along fairly well at school these days, but has never had a best friend, and play dates never went beyond one time - he used to end up in the kitchen talking to their mums!
Social networking has helped him build his confidence, and I hang on to the hope that he'll find his niche at uni. The fact he is partially sighted is another factor - means he is automatically out of the sporty set.
He's happy enough - but it has been bloody hard over the years.
I am a single dad trying to be a good mum. My son has been diagnosed with Aspergers. He has no friends, stays in his room all the time, he hates socializing. He will never go anywhere with me, he wont even answer the phone. sometimes he sleeps for 48 hours!! It is a huge weight on my shoulder to look after him on my own. No one recognises this disability. All my friends and family think he is a strange boy. I am on the verge of becoming depressed, I am very worried that if I get ill there is no one to look after him. This disability is very hard on the parents. Can anyone give me some advice please?
Ds1 hasn't been formally diagnosed yet but has some aspergers traits albeit high functioning. He has just turned 7 and reading this has filled me with dread, he doesn't socialise, although still at the age where us parents arrange playdates etc so do try and keep him seeing people, but I had kind of hoped he would get better at making friends but it appears not:-(
If turn up early at school and they are playing outside it breaks my heart as everyone else is running around playing, laughing and talking with each other and Ds is literally running up and down as if he is following a line over and over by himself.

Mohali, Apr 12: Dmitri Mascarenhas took five wickets while Shaun Marsh scored an unbeaten half century to help Kings XI Punjab notch their first win in this edition of IPL here at the PCA Stadium on Thursday night.
Scorecard: IPL 5: Game 14: Kings XI Punjab Vs Pune Warriors
IPL 5: Results, Points Table
After a fine bowling effort by Mascarenhas had bowled Pune Warriors out for a paltry 115, Punjab completed the small chase in 17.4 overs losing just three wickets. Marsh remained unbeaten on 64 off 54 balls with seven boundaries and one six. With this win, Punjab avenged their loss to Pune last Sunday.
Punjab's innings was off to the worst possible start when paceman Ashok Dinda clean bowled opener Paul Valthaty for a first-ball duck. This raised Pune's hopes of defending the small score but Marsh and captain Adam Gilchrist put the chase back on track with a cautious approach.
The home team did not have to take any risks as the run rate was under six. The left-handed duo of Marsh and Gilchrist associated for 50 runs in eight overs before Sri Lankan fast bowler Angelo Mathews got rid of the skipper.
Legspinner Rahul Sharma dismissed Mandeep Singh in the 12th over with still 46 runs needed for a Punjab win. Gilchrist took a bold decision at the fall of third wicket by sending left-hander Piyush Chawla. Australian David Hussey was still in the pavilion but the captain opted for Piyush and he supported Marsh as they remained undefeated till the end. Piyush made 21 off 24 balls with three boundaries.
Interestingly, Pune maintained a clean slate in the Extras column. There were no wides, no balls, byes or legbyes.
Pune Warriors Innings Report
Dmitri Mascarenhas took five wickets for 25 runs as Kings XI Punjab bowled Pune Warriors out for a paltry 115 in 19 overs in Game 14 of IPL 5 here on Thursday night.
England fast bowler Mascarenhas justified his captain Adam Gilchrist"s decision to send the opposition to bat. It was a good toss to win and the home team bowlers delivered on a slow wicket.
Mascarenhas dismissed Pune captain Sourav Ganguly, Marlon Samuels, Robin Uthappa, Mithun Manhas and Rahul Sharma to become the second bowler in this edition to take five wickets.
Chennai Super Kings" Ravindra Jadeja was the first bowler this season to take five wickets. He achieved that feat against Deccan Chargers.

The fourth installment of Open Season will be released on Tuesday. The latest title is called Open Season: Scared Silly, which is a little more original than adding 2 and 3 after Open Season like the other two sequels. In Scared Silly, which is rated PG, Elliot decides to scare the fear out of Boog. I thought this was a bit ironic because I don't think Elliot is brave either. I thought the animated film was a OK, but my kids love the movie. They thought it was really funny. Open Season is one of those series children will like more than adults will. Open Season: Scared Silly will be available on Blu-ray, DVD and digital HD on Tuesday, March 8th. BTW, I received a Blu-ray for review on my dad blog.
Open Season 4
As I mentioned previously, Open Season: Scared Silly is the fourth movie in the series. In the first movie, we're introduced to the two main characters: Boog the grizzly bear and Elliot the one-antlered deer. Boog is essentially a domestic bear. He lives a pampered life with a park ranger. Because of a couple of bad incidents, Boog is released back into the wild. Boog doesn't have any outdoor skills, so he relies on Elliot for help and they eventually become best friends.
Wailing Wampus Werewolf
In Scared Silly, Elliot tells a story about the Wailing Wampus Werewolf that lives in the forest. After seeing how scared Boog became, Elliot decides to scare the fear out of Boog. But his plan backfires when his fake werewolf attracts a hunter, Shaw, into the forest. Because of incidents in the previous Open Season films, Shaw doesn't like Boog and Elliot. So in this story Shaw pretends to be on the hunt for the werewolf, but his real goal is to find and kill Boog and Elliot.
New Cast Again
I'm not sure why, but there appears to be a different pair of voices for the two main characters in each of the Open Season movies. In the first film, Martin Lawrence provided the voice for Boog, while Ashton Kutcher voiced Elliot. In this fourth installment, Donny Lucas is Boog, and William Townsend is Elliot (he also voiced Mr. Weenie). Other voice talents included Melissa Sturm (Giselle), Trevor Devall (Shaw), Garry Chalk (Ed), Kathleen Barr (Edna / Bobbie), Lorne Cardinal (Sheriff Gordy), and Shannon Chan-Kent (Rosie). Open Season: Scared Silly was directed by David Feiss.
Bonus Features
The 85-minute animated movie includes the special features below. Note: Digital Extras are only available with iTunes Extras and Vudu Extras.
- Stepping into the Spotlight – Mr. Weenie's Process (Blu-ray and Digital HD only)
- Blooper and outtakes (Blu-ray and Digital HD only)

Open Season: Scared Silly Synopsis
Boog and Elliot are back in an all-new fun-tastic adventure. When Elliot tells a campfire story of a monster in the woods, Boog — who has never been the bravest of bears — becomes very scared. His best friend Elliot comes up with a crazy plan to scare the fear out of Boog. With the help of Mr. Weenie, McSquizzy and the rest of their forest friends, they embark on a memorable journey where the power of friendship helps Boog overcome his fears with lots of laughs and some surprises along the way.

Beyoncé eponymous fifth album has inspired so many people since it dropped, without warning, on iTunes. Even though this is not the first visual album she's done (B'Day anyone?), she is possibly the first major artist to go the non-promotion route and be successful.
After reading stylist Lysa Cooper's interview with Pret-a-Reporter, I thought I'd post a comprehensive recap about all the brands we saw in the video. I've also included options if you wanted to get the "Drunk In Love" look for less, along with my own personal discount code.
Cooper says "out of the five music videos [I] helped style, Drunk In Love, featuring Jay-Z, was [my] favorite." She also divulged that Beyoncé looked "banging" in a vintage Eres bathing suit (which Cooper says she pulled from her personal stash) worn under a Spring/Summer (SS) '14 Wendy Nichol French Tulle Aquarius Dress.
However, Who What Wear reported that Beyoncé showed off her sensuous figure in a One Teaspoons' Black Lion Bralette. She wore them with the matching bottoms.
Beyoncé completed her moonlight beach frolic in a Bliss Lau Black Onyx Body Chain (now called the Dark Lady Rose Gold Body Chain; bottom left). It's rose gold with black onyx detailing. Etsy shop FDLM has their $185.77 Black Onyx Body Chain with 14k gold filling:
Beyoncé's necklace is the gold Carrie Hoffman Pave T Bar necklace (bottom right).
Peep the close up in this photo from Beyonce HQ, where you can clearly see the Pave T Bar necklace slightly tangled with the Dark Lady Rose Gold Body Chain:
Beyoncé wore a few other Bliss Lau pieces, including their gunmetal Chrysler Bracelet and Ring and their sterling silver Bridge Ring, which is also sold in gold. If you hate sterling silver like me, they also have 14K Rose Gold and 14K Yellow Gold. A stack of Jennifer Fisher Jewelry gold cuffs completed her ensemble, specifically their Brass Triangular Block Cuff and Brass Square Block Cuff, along with a Jennifer Fisher Brass Pierced Ring.
As for her nails, celebrity manicurist Lisa Logan confirmed on Instagram that Bey wore Minx for the organic music video. She explained to Nail It! Mag, "The motif of Beyoncé's 'Drunk in Love' video is black and white, which makes any regular nail polish translate as just dark or light. The metallic of Minx is reflective so it has impact. Minx is a fun way to get a unique metallic look with a nice finish that you can't get from any bottle or gel. With the limited time we have on set, Minx is the perfect choice because application is simple and there's no drying time."

Tonight was the selection for the finale, so they brought on board another dancing master to watch them. What's more, their performances left this dance maestro tongue tied. He's epic, amazing and has got the moves! It's none other than Prabhudheva! Sonu Sood was also present. They were there to promote their upcoming horror comedy movie- Tutak Tutak Tutiya.They had fitting tribute for dance master and he was left feeling overwhelmed, He called it the show's best moment!
The first performance tonight was by the WILD ripperz and they left the dance master speechless. What did he know, that was going to happen often tonight! The slow mo by the B.A.N.D.I.T.S was sight to watch. They are team of 8-10 people but they seem like one person! The synchronization was unbelievable! Since they danced to Prabhudeva's famous song Mukkala, the man himself obviously had to come on stage and even after so many years, he blows you away! This man is a magician on the dance floor!
You can't stop staring at him! The B.A.N.D.I.T.S obviosuly got double plus and got through the finals. And then there were the Ele Angels who danced with fire! They did not even flinch! whoa! The little girls also got a double Plus. And then there was Mang Mia who was the Epitome of grace as he danced to O Re Piya. We are sure even Madhuri Dixit would have been amazed by the dance. He got a double Plus 2!

The Serial Number on all the Toshiba computer (notebook in particular)
have wrong Serial number. I'm wondering if there is a documented bug in
the software?
6 Replies
Oct 31, 2006 at 11:04 UTC
This isn't a bug that we know about, but we would sure like to fix it.
Since we get the serial number from WMI if you are using Windows on
those laptops, would you check and see what the value of
Win32_SystemEnclosure.SerialNumber is?
There are several tools that will allow you to browse the WMI
repository. Someone in the community said that they really liked a
program called wmiexplorer that is pretty slick.
You can also just use wmic like this: open a cmd.exe window and type
this command to see what the WMI serial number is:
wmic systemenclosure get serialnumber
if this number doesn't match what we show, do a rescan on this device,
and look for SerialNumber in the log file log/finder_re.log to see if
there is an error near by.
Oct 31, 2006 at 11:27 UTC
For the Toshiba the result of "wmic systemenclosure get serialnumber" is
"00000000" but it shows up as 2DE1A-AD99-DA11-8020-B01D26040768" on
Spiceworks. Is the same for all Toshiba notebooks.
I've also done a test on one of my Dell and all is fine. Very strange
What I find works is using "IdentifyingNumber" from
Nov 1, 2006 at 6:59 UTC
So, what you are seeing is that the 0000 entry is ignored, and we fall
back to the pentium uuid. I will add a middle step where we check to
see if this identifying number is present and use that. Thanks for the
Nov 1, 2006 at 3:52 UTC
Hi Francis,
I've done a little bit more digging around and have found that
"Win32_CSProduct.IdentifyingNumber" or
"Win32_ComputerSystemProduct.IdentyfyingNumber" provides me with the
Jan 8, 2007 at 6:15 UTC
This problem seems to be model specific.
I have five Toshiba laptops and only the Tecra S2 was mising the model number (returned as 000000000000000000) and serial number as described above.
Has a fixed been released for this problem? Will the serial number be automatically updated it can be found correctly?
Apr 4, 2010 at 5:10 UTC
Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
Sounds like a bug in the Toshiba, not in SpiceWorks.

I had very interesting and frustrating experience. Recently I was attempting to backup one of my database and I end up on following error.
Msg 3201, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot open backup device 'D:\Backup\SQLAuthority.bak'. Operating system error 3(The system cannot find the path specified.).
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
Go to your drive and create the missing folder. In my case I went to Drive D and created Backup Folder there.
Additional Story:
If you read the first line of the blog post you will read there that I mentioned that I had frustrating experience. It was not frustrating that I do not know the solution – it was totally different reason. When I encountered the above error I quickly went and created the folder in my machine. Once I created the folder, I still keep on getting the error. After a while I realize what I was doing. I was creating the folder in the machine where I had installed SQL Server Management Studio. To resolve this error one has to create the folder in the machine where SQL Server is installed. Once I created the folder to the location where I was attempting to take backup the issue was resolved.
How many of you have been in the same situation as me as mentioned in additional story?

In our environment we are getting this error regularly…
Not exactly the same scenario but I have faced this error when I tried to bcp out a table to a file. It was throwing bcp error again and again. Had struggled for 2 hours and then finally found out the mistake that I was just creating the folder in the client side rather than server side. Then finally put the same command in the command prompt and found out that it was searching for a folder in server side :) and it worked
I have done something similar in the past with a SQL Agent job step trying to point to an SSIS file system package… it took me a minute to realize that the error about an invalid XML file format was because SSMS was looking for the file on my local machine and not on the server where SQL and the dtsx package was located.
I would say that almost everyone who has ever restored a database from a remote Management Studio instance has encountered this error.
While we now have this in our blood, I see a lot of newcomers walking down to my desk saying they can't restore a DB – most often it's either that they do not have a folder or that they forget that the SSMS UI shows them the remote server's disks.
Hi pinal,
Must say its a very inspirational site for SQL SERVER DBA's.
Coming to my issue,getting a similar error code,while taking the backup to the network drive.
Msg 3201, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot open backup device '\\ IP address \abc'. Operating system error 1326(Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.).
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
Below are the few solutions applied for the error:
1. Folder has the full rights.(administartor login)
2. Using the same Login as SQL SERVER AGENT.
3.Mapped the network drive.
Still struggling for the solution.
Waiting for your reply.
Hi Vikas, have got solution now..??? if yes, can you pls let me know how you processed. Thanks in advance.
I have had these kind of issues before especially accessing drives on local folder vs folder on the server. Especially when it comes to these kind of issues i guess it would be best to work it out on the server rather than the client.
If we found this type of error then, we need to one step, we can run from required path from cmdshell.
xp_cmdshell 'dir D:\Backup\'
So we come to is this folder is there or not.

please i need help sir, i hope this issues ….
You need to read this post

I just can say, Thank you so much!
add Windows credential in Control Panel–>Credential Manager
solved in my case
I also get same error but i m not using any folder, i m giving just D:\ SQLAuthority.bak in plce of D:\Backup\SQLAuthority.bak then if any one have this solution Plzz give me ,,,
Thanks in advance
My query Is
BACKUP DATABASE Misaldb TO DISK = 'D:\Misaldb.BAK' with INIT
Try without INIT. The INIT might be the problem. Anyway, it is bad practice to overwrite back up files. Hope that helps
I was facing same error in one of my database. I am taking backup on remote location. Out of 23 database only one database backup is giving me same error. I found out that there is space in the database name at the end. I remove that space and now backup job is running without error.
Hi Pinal and all,
I would like to add comment on this OS error3 topic. I experienced this issue recently. It was driving me nut and unable to sleep as things were set up perfectly, all permission applied but still SQL agent job which was creating backup was failing. The SQL agent job was not able to create full or transaction backups for one database. All other databases were backing up as expected.
Finally, I found solution. The database name had problem. Name of the database contained space after name like ('SQL ' instead 'SQL'). Also, I was able to creating backups for this databases through script but not scheduled maintenance job. Now I will schedule to rename this database and include this database into regular backups schedule.
I was having this error because name of the databases was containing space after name like 'SQL ' instead of 'SQL'. Now will schedule to rename this database name and include this database to regular maintenance plan.
I ran into this situation today. Thanks for the blog post – saved me a lot of trouble!
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn
I provide above path to store remote server backup . It shows backup completed but not getting backup on that location.
whatever path you give it would be local to server.
I have a situation where i have to backup on to network shared drive (in my case this is the network shared folder : ' \\ \\sdhqem***** \SQL****up' ) and this drive is password protected (it has a login and password to that drive ). How do i specify the destination while full backup to this network drive(of different server) which has a login and password?
Thanks in advance
When you connect via Windows Explorer, do you have to provide the password? You can map the shared location as drive with in SQL Server using net use command. In net use command you can provide username and password to connect. Have you read my recent blog on the same topic
Thank you Pinal. Yes, i could login using the credentials by referring to your post on Backup on mapped drive failing with error – Msg 3201, Level 16, State 1 – Operating system error 3(The system cannot find the path specified.)
What is the command you are running? Are you sure path is correct?
I used
EXEC sp_configure 'advanced', 1
RECONFIGURE WITH override
EXEC sp_configure 'xp_cmdshell', 1
RECONFIGURE WITH override
and then I executed the below statement using the credentials for the network shared folder:
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'net use Z: "\servernameshareddrivename" /user:mydomainmyusername mypassword
I actually got the idea from your blog and did a little more search for entering username and password.
Found the below link to enter the credentials:
It worked out and now my backups are directly being copied on the network drive !
Hope this helps someone in the near future :)
Thanks Pinal for such an amazing blog !

Last night, the U.S. House passed the Permanent Electronic Duck Stamp Act, authored by Reps. Ron Kind (D-WI) and Rob Wittman (R-VA), on a bipartisan vote of 401-0. This legislation aims to make federal duck stamps permanently available for purchase online.
"For decades, the sale of duck stamps has generated critical funding for habitat protection and wildlife conservation," said Rep. Kind. "Making duck stamps available for purchase online means greater convenience and accessibility for hunters, collectors and outdoor enthusiasts, and more revenue for the important conservation efforts that duck stamps support."
This modernization of the program would allow sportsmen across the country to more easily obtain a federal duck stamp, rather than requiring an in-person visit to a local post office. Sale and distribution of federal duck stamps fund conservation of vital waterfowl habitat across the country.
For 79 years, millions of Americans have strongly supported the Federal Duck Stamp Program. Each year, hunters, bird watchers, stamp collectors and wildlife enthusiasts have traveled to their local post offices, National Wildlife Refuges and sporting goods stores to obtain their annual stamp. Since 1934, more than 120 million federal duck stamps have been sold nationwide. With the sale of these stamps, more than $800 million has been collected and deposited into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund. These monies have been used to purchase or lease over 5.3 million acres of vital wetlands and essential waterfowl habitat that have been incorporated within the National Wildlife Refuge System.
Unlike many states, however, which allow consumers to obtain their annual fishing and hunting licenses online, there was no authority to purchase a federal duck stamp online. With the passage of Rep. Kind's Electronic Duck Stamp Act of 2005, the Federal Duck Stamp Program took a technological step forward. This law established a three-year pilot program to allow individuals to purchase their stamps online, and the Fish and Wildlife Service was directed to evaluate the effectiveness of this new electronic program.
This legislation would make the online purchase of federal duck stamps a permanent feature of federal law. Just like the pilot program, the electronic proof of purchase will both fulfill the requirements for waterfowl hunters to possess the stamp and allow visitors free access to our nation's 553 national wildlife refuges. After 45 days, the proof of purchase will expire and the purchasers must possess the traditional paper stamp to receive its full benefit.
The Permanent Electronic Duck Stamp Act is supported by conservation organizations, including Ducks Unlimited and the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation.

While the rest of the state is still clammering for a first scholarship offer to head their way, the 6-foot-5, 195 pound wide receiver already has plenty, and if his mailbox is any indication, there is more to come.
"I've got a couple shoe boxes full of mail from Louisville, Tennessee, Miami (Fla.), Alabama, Virginia, Michigan, Michigan State and Kentucky and NC State," Aaron Boyd said. "I've got offers from UK, UofL, Virginia, NC State and Cincinnati."
The Lexington (Ky.) native is the brother of former Kentucky quarterback and current Arizona Cardinals backup Shane Boyd, who was also highly recruited before picking the Wildcats. Like UK's all-time leading rushing quarterback who waited until Signing Day before making a decision publically, the younger Boyd will take his time to make a decision.
"I'm gonna take as many visits as I can and find what's right for me," Boyd said. "I'll probably wait until Signing Day (like brother Shane did). I'm going to discuss my college decision with my family, my coaches, stuff like that. It'll take the pressure off of me during the season so I won't have to worry about it. Then when that time comes, I'll choose when it's right."
Boyd has already taken an unofficial visit to Kentucky on February 10th for junior day. He's set for a visit to Tennessee this upcoming weekend and a possible trip to UL, but outside of those, he'll be spending his summer months in Arizona training with his brother Shane and the Cardinals organization.
"Shane's been really good about helping me," Aaron said. "He's been teaching me this and that about playing receiver. He's also telling me about the recruiting experience. Just talking to coaches and building relationships. He's been a real help for me."
Shane, noticably smaller than Aaron but whom also starred at Henry Clay High School before signing with Kentucky, starred at running back, wide receiver and quarterback in his four years with the Wildcats, also pitching on the baseball team.
His 'shaky' relationship might deter Aaron from ever playing at Kentucky.
"You know, my brother had some ups and downs at UK," Boyd explained. "I wouldn't say most people, want me to set my own name somewhere else, except for UK. I like Kentucky, I grew up watching them alot when I was a kid. It'll be cool to go to Kentucky, but I wanna test the waters and make the best decision for me."
"I'm going to try and look at different colleges," Boyd continued ""Playing time will come, but I'll probably say the biggest thing for me is team prestige and a pretty good coach. My main focus is getting to the NFL and finding wherever's gonna prepare me for the next level and looking for something that's right for me. My legacy gets me in the door, but my skills will do alot more."
Louisville has made it clear that they would like Boyd to replace Mario Urrutia in years to come. The new coaching staff has already made its mark on the Henry Clay standout from its days recruiting Virginia signee Chase Minnified.
"Louisville is a prestigious team," Boyd said of the Cardinals. "They were successful this season and I really like the way they use their receiver. I'm 6-5, I could see myself in that type of predicament. I've developed a great relationship with Coach Nord and Coach Kragthorpe, already. They told that they don't care where my brother went, that they just want me to find the best school for me. UL could definitely be a top choice."
A second-team All-City selection after securing 37 catches for 453 yards and 2 touchdowns a year ago, few doubt - that projection wise - Boyd is a top 3 prospect in the state.
"I'm the type of player that every college team wants right now," the 6-foot-5, 195 pound standout said, "I'm tall and fast and I bring alot to the table. I've gotten overshadowed sometimes by (Clark) Jeter and Chase (Minnifield), but when my time has come, I've taken advantage of every play I get."

Mission Accomplished - CWC's Chris Dehring Departs
Cable & Wireless Communications, Plc (CWC) announced today that Chris Dehring, Chairman of LIME Jamaica and a member of the senior executive team has decided to return to the forays of entrepreneurship after six transformative years with the Company, effective September 30, 2015.
"On behalf of the Board of Directors and the management and staff of C&W, I want to thank Chris for his outstanding contributions to our business during his time with the Company," said Phil Bentley, C&W's CEO. "Chris has been a key leader in our business, spearheading the largest market in the Caribbean for over six years as Chairman, and building a solid foundation to drive growth and profitability in one of our most important markets. His outstanding reputation throughout the Caribbean and strategic acumen proved invaluable to the success of the merger with Columbus and we thank him for his leadership, and wish him well in his future endeavours," said Bentley.
"On a personal note, I'd like to thank Chris for working so closely and effectively with me on gaining the support across the Caribbean for the acquisition of Columbus - this has been a game changer for C&W!" added Bentley.
Chris, who has an outstanding track record in business across the region, orchestrated new emergency legislation and the historic regulatory rulings that redressed the anomalies in the Jamaican telecommunications market, paving the way for the company to grow its mobile subscriber base from just over 200k to 900k currently. He was instrumental in reviving the LIME brand (now Flow), and business with innovative marketing and innovations such as LIME Skool Aid which continues today. Considered a maverick among his peers, Chris played a key role in the regulatory approval negotiations across the region to facilitate the successful merger with Columbus International Inc.
Commenting on his tenure, the affable Chairman and Senior Vice President for Government and Regulatory Affairs said, "It was an honour to serve with so many outstanding colleagues at Cable & Wireless Communications and to be able to close this remarkable era of my career by playing such an integral role in finalising what undoubtedly is a transformational merger with Columbus. Similar to the regulatory obstacles we overcame in Jamaica, there were massive regulatory hurdles with the merger, but I'm delighted to have had the opportunity to leverage my expertise and be a part of a US$3 billion dollar transaction spanning 42 countries. Coupled with the turnaround and upward trajectory of C&W in Jamaica and the Caribbean, I feel like my mission has been accomplished and it is time to move on to my next adventure!"
Prior to joining C&W, Chris earned a solid reputation in Jamaica and across the Caribbean as a marketing specialist and entrepreneur. He was one of the founders of Jamaica's first investment bank and the Caribbean's first sports television cable channel, and as Managing Director & CEO, led the region in staging its first global sporting event - the ICC Cricket World Cup in 2007.

[Plugin: Front-end Editor] Table plugin issue possible inconsistency
Scribu, thank you for such amazing plugin. However – I have encoutered some problems with the table plugin:
- I cannot select columns/rows (those "gray" column/row markers from Aloha Editor demo (example: http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/305/table1j.jpg ) – those gray controls from screenshot are for some reason not present when using FEE 2.1 and editing tables
- Because of issue above, I am not able to insert/delete rows/columns
- Sometimes, when I was clicking on table borders, some table editing controls appeared (icons around table rows, columns…), but I wasn't able to replicate it, so I can't make a screenshot. Is there a way to force these (or any kind of) table-editing controls to show up? I know that there is a way to add rows using TAB key in last cell of the table, but what if I need to add seven new rows after actual third row in big, 25 row table?
Is there a way in FEE 2.1 to enable the same table editing controls, as in aloha demo? (@ http://www.aloha-editor.org/demos/aloha-world-example/)
Tested on WP 3.2.1 (LAMP) with Twenty Ten and Twenty Eleven with no plugins except FEE 2.1 activated.

SAN DIEGO (AP) San Francisco's Golden Gate Yacht began its last-chance appeal to become the Challenger of Record on Monday and help set the rules for the next America's Cup.
The GGYC met the deadline for filing its brief with the New York State Court of Appeals in Albany. The California club, which backs Larry Ellison's BMW Oracle Racing, wants the court to overturn a ruling by the New York Supreme Court's Appellate Division that Spain's Club Nautico Espanol de Vela, not GGYC, should be the Challenger of Record for the 33rd America's Cup.
This is the latest step in the 16-month spat between the GGYC and Societe Nautique de Geneve, which backs two-time defending America's Cup champion Alinghi of Switzerland.
GGYC filed its appellate brief two days after Ellison, the chief executive of Oracle Corp., and Alinghi's boss, Swiss tycoon Ernesto Bertarelli, met in San Francisco in an attempt to get sailing's premier event out of the courts and back on the water in its traditional format.
The Swiss group must file its brief by Nov. 13.
Both sides said they'd like to continue talks, but no new discussions have been scheduled.
Last week, GGYC offered to drop its appeal if Alinghi agreed to a multichallenger regatta under the rules used in the 32nd America's Cup in 2007. Ellison reiterated that offer in his meeting with Bertarelli, BMW Oracle Racing spokesman Tom Ehman said.
In a statement, Alinghi lawyer Lucien Masmejan said the Swiss "have faith that the ongoing talks between all parties involved in the future of the America's Cup will be productive. However, if GGYC continues to press its case, we are confident that the lower court ruling will be affirmed."
The American and Swiss syndicates have been squabbling for more than a year over the rules Alinghi proposed for the 33rd America's Cup. That regatta had been scheduled for next year in Valencia, Spain, but was postponed last autumn because of the legal fight.
Shortly after Alinghi defeated Team New Zealand in July 2007 to retain the oldest trophy in international sports, the Swiss announced they had chosen Nautico Espanol de Vela as the Challenger of Record. BMW Oracle Racing sued in a New York court, contending that the Spanish yacht club is a sham and that the rules proposed by Alinghi for the next regatta were tilted in favor of the defender.
The GGYC secured a ruling that it was the Challenger of Record. When the Americans and Swiss couldn't agree to terms for a conventional regatta, it appeared they were headed toward a rare one-on-one showdown, or Deed of Gift match, in giant multihulls.
But in a surprise reversal in late July, the New York Supreme Court's Appellate Division ruled 3-2 that Club Nautico Espanol de Vela, not GGYC, should be the Challenger of Record. That appeared to send the Cup back to its traditional format of several challengers vying in monohulls for the right to face the defender in the America's Cup match.
The appellate division's decision was based on what it called "ambiguous" language in the Deed of Gift, the 19th-century document that governs the America's Cup.
GGYC quickly filed its last-chance appeal.
In its brief, the GGYC said the appellate division's reversal "contorts the plain language of the Deed and should be reversed.
"(T)he simple, straightforward conditions that the creator of the America's Cup Deed articulated in order to protect the competition from abuse should be respected and given effect. Failure to do so will destroy the America's Cup as we know it."
America's Cup rules specify that legal disputes on the competition be settled in New York state court.
BMW Oracle Racing launched a 27-meter (90-foot) trimaran in Anacortes, Washington in late August. It was shipped to San Diego last week and the crew will train for two months on the Pacific Ocean.

SLTF Consulting
Technology with Business Sense
Scott Rosenthal
August, 1997
Recently I've been working with a device that's programmable, fairly speedy and costs
roughly the same as a logic chipspecifically, Microchip's (Chandler, AZ (602)
786-7200) new PIC12C508. I began thinking about its true nature, is it a PLD in disguise,
a small ASIC or a "real" micro-controller? Or is it another step on the
evolutionary path of the embedded world? The answer, I believe, is a bit of each. But as
with most things in life, a little bad always comes with the good. The PIC12C is a neat
part, but it has its quirks.
The PIC12C family presently consists of two devices: the 12C508 and the -509. The main
difference is the amount of memory. The -508 comes with 512 words of program memory and 25
bytes of RAM, whereas the 509 increases program memory to 1024 words and RAM to 41 bytes.
While most microcontrollers provide enough pins to expand their memory busses, the
PIC12C has just eight in either a through-hole or surface-mount package. At its heart
resides a RISC processor that uses only 16 instructions, but the device also integrates an
oscillator, watchdog timer (running from a separate oscillator) and a power supervisor
with a reset generator. Of the eight pins, two handle power and ground. The other six
serve for I/O, or you can attach an external crystal to two of them, leaving four I/O
pins. The PIC12C runs at 4 MHz, yielding an execution speed of approximately 1
µsec/instruction (branches take 2 µsec). The chip also includes a Sleep mode that
reduces current consumption to a measly 8 µA.
The device's biggest selling point is its cost. The OTP version sells for a little over
a dollar in singles! For development purposes, one version selling for roughly $10 comes
packaged as a windowed part that you can erase and reburn.
The beauty of these parts comes from trying to figure out where you can use something
that's programmable, fairly speedy and costs roughly the same as a logic chip. Some of my
examples include a battery-powered logic-debounce and qualification circuit, a simple
analog-signal input to time-delay output, a light dimmer, a closed-loop ac motor
controller, a reset controller and a device-configuration register. One thing apparent
from this list is that a PIC12C easily takes on some of the low-level chores designers
previously might've implemented exclusively with analog circuits. Once developers see how
versatile these parts are, their manufacturing departments will start wondering how
theyre going to manage the production process for getting the different programs for
various designs into the different PIC12Cs throughout systems.
Just as the embedded world provides opportunities for many different designs, it also
involves numerous design tradeoffs, and the PIC12C presents no exception. All its
potential flexibility comes at the price of quirkiness. Youre thinking, "What
do you expect for a dollar?" The answer is, of course, everythingbut short of
that lofty goal, the following lists of problems with the device might save you some of
the headaches my staff encountered with projects involving the device.
Starting with some obvious peculiarities, first, this microcontroller uses an internal
2-level hardware stack. When I first saw this spec, I was instantly transported back to
1973 and my first microprocessor, the 8008. It also used a hardware stack, but it had
seven levels. It's roughly 24 years later, and it seems I've taken a step backward.
Anyway, with a 2-level stack it's difficult to build nicely structured software because
you can't have more than two calls in a call stack. One solution around this stack
limitation is to throw away program memory and use macros to implement some simpler
subroutines an application might need.
Another peculiarity is that you must locate all program subroutines in the bottom of
memory, and you can't make a subroutine call above address 0FFh. This program memory
allocation isn't difficult to accomplish, but a programmer must remember to do it.
Being a RISC processor, the PIC12C has a very limited instruction set. In fact, one of
its 16 instructions (6% of the total) is a NOP. Nuances programmers find while learning
such a small set present some challenges. The biggest issue we've discovered is the lack
of a logical shift instruction. The chip performs an arithmetic shift, meaning that the
Carry bit is really a ninth bit in the shift. To perform a logical shift without the carry
requires you to clear (or set) the Carry bit before each shift.
The remaining peculiarities involve the windowed part. You wouldn't use this erasable
device in production, but it's handy for development. It does, though, bring along a
unique set of problems.
One of the PIC12C applications at my company involved a battery-powered circuit. The
design goal was to keep current consumption below 14 µA. We initially reached this level
with a combination of Sleep mode and watchdog resets. Then suddenly we couldn't get there
anymoreit started drawing more than 300 µA! We were running the same code but saw a
different circuit effect. We called Microchip and heard that running the PIC12C without a
cover over the window drives up current consumption. We covered the window and consumption
dropped back down to acceptable levels.
Next, we found that occasionally a PIC12C appears to program as expected but just won't
work properly in circuitbut sometimes the same chip, programmed again, works fine.
Again, with Microchip's help, it turns out that if you program the windowed part without a
cover it might seem to program correctly but not run properly. Now, we place the label
over the window before programming, an approach that cures both this problem and
high-current consumption.
Later we discovered yet another glitch with the windowed part. This programmable part
issue really isn't a problem with the part itself, but just one of those things that you
don't think about. Most engineers cut their teeth erasing memory chips, which they plop
into an eraser and 10 to 30 min later out the chips come, fresh for a new program. The
PIC12C parts also emerge from an eraser ready with a clean slate except they require twice
the dosage of UV energy for erasure. By erasing them like a memory chip, the chips won't
always program correctly, or one might even stop working after a short time. The table
shows some recommended erasure times for different types of erasable parts.
Probably the strangest quirk was the oscillator's calibration value. An internal RC
circuit sets up the system clock. Apparently, due to manufacturing tolerances, variability
from part to part is too large for a "precision" device. So Microchip includes
with each device an oscillator value that adjusts operational speed to be near the 4-MHz
specification. The only problem is Microchip stores this value in high program memory. So
the first time you work with a windowed part, everything seems to work fine. Then, after
you erase the part and reprogram it with your next try at perfection, things don't seem to
run very well.
What we found is that the UV erasure also removes the oscillator calibration value! Of
course, the value isn't recorded on the body of the part, so we had to determine the
proper calibration value for each erased part. Now each time we plan to program one of
these parts, we also program the oscillator value by hand. While tracking this value
painfully affects the development process, it has no effect on production OTP parts.
Please, Microchip, write the value on the body along with the part number! PE&IN

Today's poop post.
So.. Charlie started solids this month. He doesn't eat too much as I really want this to be a gradual thing. He's doing really well but, obviously, his poop is changing.
#everybabyisdifferent I know... But when your little one started eating baby food, did they have a hard time pooping? I've noticed that his is less mush and more.. pebble like? It makes sense that it would be different but he has these screaming fits now, and when I check his diaper there's those pebbles.
Is he maybe just getting use to pooping out normal poop?
I thought it was normal too and Tristens Dr told me it was actually a sign of constipation. I upped his liquid intake and since he was on formula at that point I would add like a half oz of water extra. It helped a lot.
See, I knew that the rabbit-poop like texture was a sign of constipation. I do remember that much but I figured since he's still on formula and we're only doing a few spoons of babyfood at a time, that he was getting enough liquids. hmmm..
Maybe the food soaks up all the liquid. Lol jk When I first starting giving him baby food his wasn't like rabbit poop just firmer and I thought it was totally normal until the doc asked and I was like...uhm oh! Lol
See that's why it's confusing. Because it hasn't happened until recently and I just assumed that his body was learning how to process real food.. think I'll call doc tomorrow just in case.
I never knew poop was so confusing until I had a kid...I never knew I would be watching poop so much either. I know when we started diluting the formula the poop became more like peanut butter which is what the doc said it should be. We need a poop book! Lol
There's a poop app. I posted about it one day and was like.. who the heck would do this.... and now I'm wondering what the heck. Isn't it funny though? We talk about poop SO MUCH. We get so excited when he poops. It's ridiculous lol
It is crazy for real...wait till he starts eating random things and you find stuff in the diaper! Lol
I assume it means constipation!
