Most of my friends are burning to death right now. I can almost smell them from inside this dive bar. My first friend to go was, Christian. How ironic is that? Yeah, he was your typical atheist on a redundant agenda. He even had a death metal band. They weren't anything special, so they won't be missed. Just like any of the bands from the 21st century, they lacked originality. If you took twenty of the top death metal bands from the nineties, and meshed them together you'd get his cliche band. Their gimmick was the anti-God lyrics behind the banal music. Slayer beat them to the punch thirty something years ago. You can kiss that band goodbye too.
I happen to volunteer at the food bank monthly, plus I have the credentials to back it up. I'm in the clear. Vilifying God lost its charm ten years ago. I'm a profound thinker and a versatile conversationalist. I'll live until I die from cirrhosis of the liver with the way I drink. It's better than fire though, you atheist scum.
I'm keen on my first amendment rights, but I'm willing to be lenient on the acount of monotony. I've been here in Pittsburgh for five decades now, and I've run into the same conversation time and time again. I wanna celebrate Christmas without some asshole trying to shit on my Christmas tree. Hallelujah!
I heard a group of five hundred atheists stormed the capital building in Harrisburg only to be shot down without warning. Those picket signs didn't stand a chance. I haven't had bourbon in five years, but I'll gladly drink to that. Jesus saves, all you have to do is embrace the Lord!
Diversity can be nice, but like everything else it has its price. These God haters are self serving bastards who breed nothing but negativity. Life is precious. Everyone deserves to live, as long as they live in peace. Atheists are incapable of understanding this. We as a society don't want discord. We want Easter eggs and ham dinner. Not a fucking public protest! If you ask me, it serves them right. They had it coming, it was inevitable!
Now that they're taken care of, I can focus on other things, joyful things like the Pittsburgh Steelers and Iron City beer. God bless!

Welfare sector reeling after funding for 50 Perth financial counsellors cut by state government
The chief executive of Anglicare WA says a recent state government decision to axe $1.5 million for financial crisis advice "defies all logic" and will cost the government more in the long run.
The ABC understands the Department of Child Protection and Family Support announced on Friday June 5 that all state funding for financial counselling, offered through a range of welfare organisations around the Perth metropolitan area, would be cut.
The cuts will take effect from September 30 this year and are expected to affect around 50 jobs.
"I have been at Anglicare for 20 years as CEO and I'm just flabbergasted by this decision," Ian Carter told 720 ABC Perth.
Five financial counsellor positions at Anglicare would be affected.
"It's one of the worst decisions I've seen in my entire career and I'm still reeling from it," he said.
"My team are just remarkable and I know many of the personal stories where they have turned families around in a few sessions.
"They can literally save people from bankruptcy and ruin."
The funding cut will mean that only a telephone hotline will be available for people seeking financial counselling in Perth, a solution that Mr Carter says is inadequate.
"Research into the work of financial counsellors shows that for every $1 invested in counselling services, there is a saving of $5 elsewhere in government budgets," Mr Carter said.
"The cost will appear in relationship breakdowns, bankruptcy, a whole range of other issues, including, at the extreme end, an increase in family and domestic violence."
Ian Carter said many people could unexpectedly find themselves in financial difficulty, and with the downturn in the WA mining industry, more people than ever were seeking help to restructure their affairs.
"We have now started to see fly-in fly-out workers who have been laid off. These are people who were living on $120,000 to $150,000 a year," he said.
"They were made redundant, they were heavily geared. They sell the house at a loss, suddenly they are finding themselves in trouble and they now no longer have financial counsellors to turn to.
"They will end up doing nonsensical stuff like using payday lenders and end up in an even worse position."
Mr Carter said he understood the state government had faced the need to find savings in the state budget, but he believed some sectors should be protected from cuts.
"The Department of Child Protection and Family Support, with their work in child protection, homelessness and poverty, is an agency that needs a fence put around it," he said.
"It is such critical work to our community."
In a statement, the Minister for Child Protection Helen Morton defended the move saying the state budget was under pressure and the department needed to focus on services "which primarily promote the safety and wellbeing of at-risk children and families, with the aim to prevent children coming into care".
The department would work with the Financial Counsellors Association of Western Australia to expand their telephone counselling hotline and the service was also trialling a web-chat facility.
The cancellation of financial counselling contracts is expected to save at least $6 million over the next four years.
The minister said people seeking to use the Hardship Utility Grants Scheme (HUGS) would also no longer have to see a financial counsellor, adding to the savings.
"The overall saving from ending contracts for financial counselling will be at least $14.8 million over four years," Ms Morton said.

Frederick Brooks's article "No Silver Bullet: Essence and Accidents of Software Engineering" argues that compared to hardware, software industry hasn't experienced massive leaps in productivity nor will it ever do. While our hardware can double in performance every year, our software projects cost pretty much the same year to year. This article from 1987 is a classic that hasn't lost its relevance with modern software developers.
One of the reasons behind the "slow" progress is complexity. Often software applications deal with many more possible states compared to hardware, and unlike physicists, software engineers have to deal with inherent complexity that cannot be solved by discovering underlying theories and principles. Software is unvisualizable: we cannot simply draw out a software program, hand it over separately to two software teams, and expect the teams to ship the exact same application. Software problems are not only technical problems but also management problems.
And yet, we often find ourselves discussing ideas such as object-oriented and functional programming, micro services, or sprints as the thing that will solve everything that's wrong with software. We can create new layers of abstractions but no level of abstraction is going to make software visualizable or non-complex. No one will ever publish a book that provides a process or manual for managing software projects without quality problems and usability issues.
However, none of this means that we shouldn't try our best to keep making things better.
You can learn to accept the complexity and messiness of our industry. First, keep trying to find those small improvements that others have missed. Software is terrain where you navigate best by iterating on your tools and practices.
Last, remember the value of people. According to Brooks, "each software organization must determine and proclaim that great [software] designers are as important to its success as great managers are, and that they can be expected to be similarly nurtured and rewarded." If you agree with Brooks that software development is a creative process, you might also agree that the difference between an okay and a great software developer can be a significant one. After all, we can see the same phenomenon in other creative fields where people have to deal with rapid change and complexity.
There is no silver bullet: no best process, no best programming language or style. But there is also no end to your learning. Your journey can continue to be as exciting as it has been so far.

There's a reason SF candidate Josefowitz would skip ride-hailing votes
District Two supervisor candidate Nick Josefowitz wants to tackle the city's homelessness crisis, property crime and housing affordability if he's elected in November.
One issue he probably won't be able to touch? Legislation affecting ride-hailing companies.
That's because of the sizable financial stake that his wife, Tali Rapaport, holds in Lyft. Rapaport, a former vice president at the company, holds at least $1 million worth of Lyft stock, according to Josefowitz's financial disclosures.
Rapaport also holds stock in several other companies, including shares valued between $100,000 and $1 million in Groupon, where she also used to work.
On Thursday, Josefowitz said that if he wins the election, he would make sure to recuse himself "from decisions which my wife is financially interested in." Votes on bills that would affect Lyft's finances could give rise to questions about conflicts of interest.
Josefowitz isn't the only District Two candidate to report income from a sizable investment portfolio. Incumbent Catherine Stefani has investments in a range of blue-chip companies, including Caterpillar, IBM, Coca-Cola, Apple and Campbell Soup. Most of those investments range from $2,000 to $10,000.
Ride-hailing companies, especially Uber and Lyft, have maintained a bumpy relationship with City Hall as officials work out how to regulate them. Uber and Lyft signaled in July that they'd go along with a proposed city tax on fares.
Their willingness to accept a per-ride tax satisfied Supervisor Aaron Peskin, who agreed to back off from plans for a ballot initiative to tax the companies' gross receipts. But it's probably not the last time that ride-hailing legislation will come before the board.
If elected, recusing himself would deny Josefowitz the opportunity to weigh in on those issues, but "I think that's the appropriate thing to do," he said.

A Giant Step Towards Unity – Mural Brings Unity to School
Most public schools are a place for children from all around the country, or world, to come together as they learn and grow through education. New York, often referred to as a melting pot, has many public schools scattered throughout the city.
Brazilian artists Otavio and Gustavo Pandolfo, aka "Os Gemeos" have joined forces with famous graffiti artist, Futura 2000, to complete an 80-foot mural on the wall of one New York school. New York creative studio, AKANYC and street art website 12ozProphet received support from Nike and paint company MTN Colors.
The mural is on the west-facing wall of P.S. 11, William T. Harris Elementary School. The mural creation began on Friday, August 6 and was recently completed on August 13th.
The theme of the mural is a message of international unity. Os Gemeos often uses this giant yellow character in many of their pieces of art. Along with the character, known as 'the giant' flags from countries from all over the globe adorn the wall. These flags are painted in non-traditional colors. The artists say the idea behind this is that there is 'one world, one voice, no borders, no separation…everything and everyone working together for a single cause that is a better world."
AKANYC creative directors hope to make more murals like this one, so that people and students in the local communities can be enriched in a creative way. By combining styles so different from each other, this painting stands alone to show the community and the schools that we can all work together to make the world a better place.

GOP takes another swipe at Obamacare
Free Press wire reports | 9/22/2017, 7:59 p.m.
Free Press staff, wire reports
Jay Stout considers himself lucky that he was on the health insurance plan that his mother purchased through the Affordable Care Act's marketplace.
Without that plan, the 20-year-old community college student — and his family — never could have afforded the multiple surgeries and rehabilitation services he needed after his left arm was nearly severed in a head-on collision.
"The insurance is irreplaceable. Losing it would be devastating," he said.
But once again, he and millions of other families and individuals who have health insurance under the Affordable Care Act are facing another Republican charge to repeal the law known as Obamacare.
While the majority of Americans are covered through employer-provided insurance, Obamacare serves people who have no insurance either because their job does not come with benefits or they are unemployed. The program also forces upgrades in all insurance programs, including requiring coverage of pre-existing conditions and allowing young people to stay on family plans until age 26.
Next week, Republicans in the Senate will try for the third time this year to dismantle former President Obama's signature health insurance legislation.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Republican from Kentucky, has committed to holding a vote on the repeal legislation that GOP Sens. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina have proposed.
If it passes, the repeal is guaranteed to garner a majority of votes in the House of Representatives, where Republicans hold 240 of the 435 seats, or more than the 219 votes needed for passage.
The rush is on to pass the bill on or before Saturday, Sept. 30, the deadline for ensuring only 51 votes are needed for passage in the 100-member Senate. On Oct. 1, Senate rules would require a minimum of 60 votes.
It is still uncertain whether Republicans can muster at least 50 votes so that Republican Vice President Mike Pence could break a tie and kill Obamacare.
So far, only Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky has said he will vote no; other GOP senators are expressing concern but have yet to speak in opposition.
President Trump, who promised better health care during the campaign last year, is eager to sign the bill that could eliminate coverage for millions of people, including many of whom voted for him.
Mr. Obama on Wednesday expressed frustration at the GOP obsession with eliminating coverage for ordinary people who are suddenly able to go to a doctor before they fall seriously ill.
The 44th U.S. president called it "aggravating" to see lawmakers push bills that he said would reduce coverage, raise costs or create uncertainty for people with pre-existing conditions.
"And all of this being done without any demonstrable economic or actuarial or plain common sense rationale," Mr. Obama said at an event in New York for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. "And it's certainly frustrating to have to mobilize every couple of months to keep our leaders from inflicting real human suffering on our constituents," he said.

1. Within each page make sure you structure your content to reinforce the main message it contains. Google seems to give more weighting to the top 25% and bottom 25% of copy on any page. When it comes to judging relevance keywords in these places will outrank those in the middle. So the internet marketing tip here is to make sure that your main keyword rich messages are near the top and the bottom.
2. HTML decides the meaning of your content as opposed to how the copy looks. Internet Marketing Tip- learn basic HTML or at least know the main tags. Your heading tags are contained in tags. Google will give more weight to the h1 tag and this is where your main heading should be. Your internet marketing tip here is to include your most important keywords in your h1 tag. Google gives less priority to h2 tags and less again to h3 tags. Also, as a rule of thumb, you should only have one h1 tag, fewer h2 than h3 tags. To view the HTML on any page simply click 'view' and then 'source code' at the top left-hand side of the browser. Read this series on SEO.
3. Image links do have an impact on SEO. Your internet marketing tip here is to add your keywords to the alt element off the image <img> tag as this will increase the page's keyword density however it is really important to keep the description of the image intact at the same time. If you add your keywords to the URL of the image this will also increase the keyword density. All you do is change the filenames of your images to include your keywords, inserting hyphens between the words so it could look something like this: <img scr="/images/blogging-for-amateurs-example-shot.jpg" and alt= "Blogging For Amateurs Example Shot"/>
4. Install the all-important All In One Seo plugin – another good internet marketing tip. Enable it and set the Title, Description, and Keywords for the home page. Simply make sure that your main keywords are included in all three fields. This plugin is a leading SEO one and gives you the same control over SEO as you would have if you started your site from scratch. The plugin will make it easy to ensure that your site is search-engine friendly. You can view it by looking at the source code of this site
5. Make sure you include a good description of your Meta tag. You can view this in the source code of any web site. The main idea behind them is to provide information about the page to search engines, this will not improve your ranking however it will give you control over how your site appears in the search results. All the main search engines will use this Description tag as the text that appears beneath the site link so make it as inviting as possible so people will want to click through to your site. Your internet marketing tip here is to note that should you not include a Description Meta tag, all search engines will do is grab some of your content from the page itself and present that to searchers instead. The problem is that the content they choose to grab may not be what you want them to present as the gateway to your site. So the message here is to use the Description Meta tag or lose it.
6. It is critical to get your title tag right. These are tags that are placed in the <head> section alongside Meta tags. Whatever you type in the title tag will appear as the title of your listing-that is how important they are. Your internet marketing tip here is to include your most important keywords in your title tag as this will boost your natural ranking.
7. Once your site is fully optimized and you have read as much information on On-Page optimization as you can possibly stomach, it is time to begin your link building campaign. No matter how great your material is to you, it must be recognized as such to the search engines. They will, through means and algorithms known only to them, rank your site higher if it is viewed by them as being relevant and authoritative enough. The way to achieve this is to begin and continue an ongoing, super-effective, long, tiring but so-worth –it-in-the-end link building campaign. Three factors appear to matter to Google (and here is your internet marketing tip) – the relevance of the links that pint to your site and secondly the age of your site and the quality of the links that point to your site… If you are lucky enough (and I know luck has nothing to do with it- just your sheer brilliance) to acquire links from other highly relevant, high quality sites, you will significantly improve your lot. In Internet Marketing speak you will improve your Page Rank. Page Rank is an algorithm that indicates the relative importance of a web page by analyzing its links and which you can check by installing the Google toolbar onto your site or by going to prchecker.info and entering the domain name that you are interested in checking the page rank for. The higher the page ranks the better. It is useful to know the page rank of sites you are linking to as any incoming link from a site with a higher Page Rank than yours will boost your position in the natural search listings as well as increasing your Page Rank.
9 Once you have done all the above, start a PPC advertising campaign – especially if you have managed to pick up a Google Adwords voucher for free advertising.

With files by Golf Canada
August 3, 2013, Victoria, BC (ISN) – It was a royal welcome on Friday evening when Alison Murdoch was honored into the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame. Family and friends were on hand at her home course, the iconic Victoria Golf Club, for the Hall of Fame induction ceremonies staged by Golf Canada.
Murdoch's career as an amateur actually began in Quebec, where she won the 1961 Quebec Junior Girls Championship in addition to numerous regional titles.
Her success on the national circuit didn't actually bloom until 2002, after she won her first of four Canadian Senior Women's Championships.
Since then Allison has won numerous international events, including the British and Irish Senior titles as well as two Pacific Northwest Golf Association (PNGA) Senior and Mid Amateur championships. Provincially, she's won British Columbia, Alberta and Washington State senior titles.
Murdoch's amazing career in the senior ranks has seen her named to numerous provincial and national teams; named Female Senior Amateur of the Year on four occasions; the PNGA Senior Women's Player of the Year on five occasions; and the SportBC Female Master Athlete of the Year in 2007.
Murdoch is also a member of both the British Columbia Golf Hall of Fame and the Pacific Northwest Golf Association Hall of Fame.

Less than a quarter of small-to-medium sized businesses (SMBs) in the UK opt for expert consultant help when it comes to guidance in technology purchases.
A survey of business owners by Buffalo Technology found that only 21 per cent would opt for turning to a consultant for advice on buying IT solutions, while 66 per cent opted for advice online and a third relied on magazines and media. Furthermore, 63 per cent of those surveyed did not feel confident in the IT buying decisions they made.
More than half of small businesses and more than 60 per cent of medium businesses said that they plan to spend from one to 20 per cent more on technology solutions and services this year.
Paul Hudson, sales director for Northern Europe at Buffalo Technology, said: "As technology becomes increasingly important to the day-to-day running of a business, it is integral that the channel know and understand what IT decision makers need. With the economy on the rise and more people investing in technology, what better time to ensure that the correct strategies are in place."
Anthony Perridge, EMEA channel director at Sourcefire, said: "I'm not that surprised with these findings, particularly at the SMB end of the market. Vendors are advertising the fact that solutions work out-of-the-box and in some cases they may well do, but on other occasions, the plug-and-go mentality isn't going to provide for the specific needs of the business.
"Just look at the security market, there is not one network and everyone has different network applications, different scenarios, so an out-of-the-box system isn't always going to work because actually, network security and compliance is actually quite complex.
"It does sound like a channel opportunity if for some reason people aren't calling for help, but this is likely due to the fact that they expecting plug-and-go solutions. It's easy for vendors to tout these, but SMBs need to realise that internet and online help may be a great start; however they are probably going to have to pick up the phone to call someone in at some time. Therefore, go to an expert - the same as you would for anything else that is important to your business like audited accounts or tax returns."

I actually did my nails on the train to Birmingham which was a bit of a disaster as I kept smudging them.. but hopefully they don't look too bad! Anyway this glitter nail polish is probably my favourite! It has tiny bits of silver, blue and purple glitter, and then also some larger pieces. The colours mixed together are so gorgeous and winterish. And do you want to know how much it cost me? £1.99! You can buy this from Boots or Superdrug for less than £2!
The gorgeous pastel blue base is Blue Moon by Barry M, which is really shimmery. It's a gorgeous colour, and is only £2.99. I think the two polishes go really nicely together for a winter wonderland nail look.

Early Adoption Puts Us on Target for ISO 9001:2015 Certification by January 2018
As the year draws to a close, Metal Cutting Corporation is pleased to announce we have been recommended for imminent certification in the new ISO 9001:2015 standards for quality management. This exciting news comes on the heels of successfully completing the necessary recertification and transition audit, which was performed by DNV GL-Business Assurance, an independent certifying company that is itself certified by the ANSI-ASQ Accreditation Board (ANAB) to carry out ISO evaluations.
Metal Cutting has maintained consistent and continuous certification since 1994 and is now ahead of more than 75% of organizations with quality management systems in being recommended for the transition to the ISO 9001:2015 requirements. We expect our new certification to be official and uploaded to our website in January 2018.
Some Background on ISO 9000 Standards
As we discussed in our blog 6 Things to Know About ISO 9000, the ISO 9000 quality management standards provide guidance in areas such as customer focus, leadership, engagement, process approach, improvement, decision-making, and relationship management. Unlike so-called ISO compliance, ISO certification shows that an organization has put in the time, effort, and money to have its quality management practices verified by an independent, accredited auditor. ISO certification shows that an organization has prioritized the importance of devoting the time, effort, and resources to have its quality management practices actually verified by an independent, accredited auditor overseen by an official accrediting body. And with certification comes all the benefits of a proven quality management system (QMS) for the company and its customers.
The ISO 9000 standards are reviewed every five years and revised periodically, and the latest version was finalized in September 2015 (hence the year in the name). Companies were then given until September 2018 to transition to the new ISO 9001:2015 standards. With our audit complete and January 2018 our expected certification date, Metal Cutting is well ahead of the curve.
What Are the ISO 9001:2015 Changes?
The most recent ISO 9001 quality management standards were revised to accomplish several things — namely, to:
- Create a structure for aligning all the different ISO standards and making them more compatible
- Improve readability, by making the standards more generic and reducing documentation requirements
- Identify risks and opportunities for organizations to mitigate or prevent those risks, and take advantage of opportunities to make improvements
Where the previous standards, ISO 9001:2008, were organized around 8 clauses, the ISO 9001:2015 standards are based on 10 clauses that will eventually be extended to other ISO standards, providing greater uniformity and a consistent structure across the entire ISO quality management system moving forward. The 10 clauses are:
- Scope
- Normative reference
- Terms and definitions
- Context of the organization
- Leadership
- Planning
- Support
- Operation
- Performance evaluation
- Improvement
The new standards no longer require a written quality manual, and procedures and work instructions are not mentioned; instead, individual organizations can decide for themselves how to verify that ISO requirements are being met. According to the ISO 9001:2015 standards, documents are now "documented information," records are now "retained documented information," and companies define the scope of their QMS rather than the exclusions taken.
Here at Metal Cutting, we have had great success with our tried-and-true quality manual, as well as our documentation practices and forms; therefore, we elected to keep these valuable tools as part of our documentation process. We have rewritten our quality manual to align it with the 10 clauses of ISO 9001:2015 and to fine-tune our procedures and work instructions to incorporate the new elements mandated by the standards. Additionally, we have added line items to our management review agenda to incorporate risk mitigation. as well as other items mandated by the new standards
A New Focus on All Stakeholders and Risk
Where ISO 9000 standards were previously focused on quality management as it relates to products and customers, the ISO 9001:2015 standards are designed to also encourage organizations to think about quality management in relationship to all interested parties. At the core of these new standards is the mandate to thoughtfully consider and analyze risk in all phases of the business — not just as it pertains to the company, but as it pertains to all stakeholders: employees, suppliers, partners, neighbors, the community, and the environment.
This new focus on identifying risk throughout our organization and for all the communities it touches makes the ISO 9001:2015 standards a great tool that we are excited to implement. It not only provides a methodology for constantly improving our process and products — it also provides a better way for us to handle risk. While we have always thought about risks when making decisions, the new ISO 9001:2015 standards provide a more formalized way to ensure we think ahead about what could happen and how to prevent problems from occurring, rather than having to go back and fix them after the fact.
A Company-Wide Commitment to ISO 9001:2015 Standards
The management team at Metal Cutting Corporation has embraced implementation of the new ISO 9001:2015 standards as our framework for reviewing and improving our process, to ensure that we always:
- Deliver high quality, tight tolerance products to our customers
- Provide a safe and efficient workplace for our employees
- Honor our commitments to our suppliers and creditors
- Care for our community and the environment we all share
As we celebrate 50 years of precision by encouraging ourselves to think manufacturing, Metal Cutting's certification in the new ISO 9001:2015 standards tells ALL our stakeholders that we continue to be unwaveringly committed to our quality management practices — and we will remain committed for decades to come.
Even among ISO certified companies, there are other important things to looks for in a potential partner. Learn more by downloading our free guide, 7 Secrets to Choosing a New Contract Partner: Technical Guide to Outsourcing Your Precision Metal Fabrication.

Oracle UNDO space
In this blog post I will talk about the basic workings of Automatic Undo Management, which can cause ORA-01555 and ORA-30036 issues.
The scope is Automatic Undo Management used in 10g and 11g, but has to be explicitly set for 9i (UNDO_MANAGEMENT = AUTO). Manual Undo Management is out of scope for this blog.
The Undo tablespace is a normal tablespace like any other, but only Oracle is controlling what is happening inside it.
Undo something
The Undo tablespace is used for several features: ROLLBACK, READ CONSISTENCY and FLASHBACK technology.
Rollback is easy to understand, if you are not happy with some data modifications, you want to 'undo' it: Rollback.
Read Consistency
Another mechanism Undo information is used for is Read Consistency, which means if you run a query at 9:00 for 10 minutes, you want all the data to be from 9:00. You don't want it to read data that has been modified at 9:02 and 9:06 or data that hasn't been committed yet.
So, to support Read Consistency, Oracle must keep the original data (committed or not) for these 10 minutes until the query is finished.
The problem is, you actually don't know how long the query will run for, so the general rule is to set this 'keep-old-data-period' to the longest running query. This is because you also want your longest running query to read consistent data.
This 'keep-old-data-period' is called 'UNDO_RETENTION' and defaults to 900 seconds, which means the database tries to keep all old changed information for 900 seconds.
Some Oracle features are build based upon using Undo information, meaning undo is more utilized.
Flashback features using Undo are:
Flashback Drop and Flashback Database do not use Undo information. Flashback Drop is using 'not yet recycled segment and extents' and Flashback Database is a separate mechanism using the Flash/Fast Recovery Area, by taking 'snapshots' and redo information.
Undo Lifetime
Undo information has different states during it's lifecycle, depending on running transactions and retention settings.
There are three states or types of extents in the Undo tablespace: ACTIVE, EXPIRED and UNEXPIRED. Oracle is still using Rollback segments, but with Automatic Undo Management these are completely controlled by Oracle.
Active undo extents are used by transactions and will always be active, because they are needed for Rollback. The UNDO_RETENTION setting is not used here, because one can not say something like: 'after 900 seconds you are not allowed to rollback anymore…'
You will get 'ORA-30036 unable to extend segment in Undo tablespace' errors when no more space is left to store ACTIVE Undo. This will automatically rollback the transaction causing it. The NOSPACEERRCNT column in V$UNDOSTAT is a good indication how many times this has occurred.
Expired extents are not used by transactions, the data in these extends is committed and the UNDO_RETENTION time has passed, so it is not needed for Read Consistency.
Unexpired extents are non-active extents that still honour UNDO_RETENTION. The transactions belonging to these undo extents are committed, but the retention time has not passed: You still want/need these for Read Consistency!
When the Undo mechanism requires more extents for ACTIVE extents, it is allowed to steal UNEXPIRED extents when there are no EXPIRED extents left for reuse and it can not allocate more free extents (autoextend maxsize reached or fixed tablespace size). One can check the steal-count in UNXPSTEALCNT in V$UNDOSTAT.
You will get 'ORA-01555 snapshot too old' errors if no Read Consistency information for a query is available. The SSOLDERRCNTin V$UNDOSTAT will show a count of these errors.
Undo extent status examples
With the next query you go through the contents of the Undo tablespace and sum the extent types:
select status, round(sum_bytes / (1024*1024), 0) as MB, round((sum_bytes / undo_size) * 100, 0) as PERC from ( select status, sum(bytes) sum_bytes from dba_undo_extents group by status ), ( select sum(a.bytes) undo_size from dba_tablespaces c join v$tablespace b on b.name = c.tablespace_name join v$datafile a on a.ts# = b.ts# where c.contents = 'UNDO' and c.status = 'ONLINE' );
It will sum the three types of extents and shows the distribution of them within the Undo tablespace. 'Free' extents are not shown.
'Normal' operation
This is an example of 'normal' contents of the Undo tablespace. The system is using ACTIVE extents, some are UNEXPIRED used for read consistency and there are EXPIRED extents which can be reused.
Out of Free/EXPIRED extents
When the system is under load and the EXPIRED extents are near 0%, the total of ACTIVE and UNEXPIRED is near 100% and the Undo tablespace is not able to extend, Oracle will steal UNEXPIRED extents for ACTIVE extents. If this is the case you might expect ORA-01555 errors, because Undo retention can not be met.
Out of Undo space
When the system is under load and the ACTIVE extents are near 100%, the total of EXPIRED and UNEXPIRED is near 0% and the Undo Tablespace is not able to extend, Oracle is not able to allocate free extents or steal UNEXPIRED extents for ACTIVE extents. If this is the case you might expect ORA-30036 errors.
Retention to large or UNDO to small?
In this case, all undo extents are used for the retention period. It might be the retention is to large, or the UNDO tablespace is to small. A DBA must investigate this and take a decision!
Undo Sizing
Storing undo data for a certain amount of time will need space and based on the activity on the database system, it is written at a certain 'rate'.
If you look at the undo equation, the Undo tablespace size or the retention time can be fixed. A fixed rate can not be set, because it depends on database load.
Since Oracle 10g, the database will be more efficient if the same record is updated more than once in a transaction, it will re-use those ACTIVE extents.
Fixed Size
When the Undo tablespace size is fixed (datafile autoextend=NO), Oracle tunes the Retention Time for the amount of Undo data it is generating to fit into the Undo tablespace. The UNDO_RETENTION parameter will now be used as a minimum, but may automatically be tuned larger when enough space is available.
One can check the tuned Undo retention time in V$UNDOSTAT, using the TUNED_UNDORETENTION column.
In Oracle 9i, it seems Oracle is not actually tuning this, but is only trying to maintain the Undo retention time. Also the TUNED_UNDORETENTION column is absent in 9i.
When you choose the Undo tablespace to be fixed, you can use the Undo Advisor to estimate the needed sizing.
Fixed Size, out of UNEXPIRED extents? Check TUNED_UNDORETENTION!
Because Oracle is able to extend the retention time, more UNEXPIRED extents are created. In this case, if the Undo tablespace is full, check the TUNED_UNDORETENTION against UNDO_RETENTION. If the tuned retention is much larger, 99% full does not mean a problem!
Take a look at the following query, it will calculate the UNDO total with the following assumption: ACTIVE takes what is needs, EXPIRED 'is empty' and UNEXPIRED will be re-calculated against the division of UNDO_RETENTION/TUNED_UNDORETENTION.
BREAK ON REPORT COMPUTE SUM OF MB ON REPORT COMPUTE SUM OF PERC ON REPORT COMPUTE SUM OF FULL ON REPORT select status, round(sum_bytes / (1024*1024), 0) as MB, round((sum_bytes / undo_size) * 100, 0) as PERC, decode(status, 'UNEXPIRED', round((sum_bytes / undo_size * factor) * 100, 0), 'EXPIRED', 0, round((sum_bytes / undo_size) * 100, 0)) FULL from ( select status, sum(bytes) sum_bytes from dba_undo_extents group by status ), ( select sum(a.bytes) undo_size from dba_tablespaces c join v$tablespace b on b.name = c.tablespace_name join v$datafile a on a.ts# = b.ts# where c.contents = 'UNDO' and c.status = 'ONLINE' ), ( select tuned_undoretention, u.value, u.value/tuned_undoretention factor from v$undostat us join (select max(end_time) end_time from v$undostat) usm on usm.end_time = us.end_time join (select name, value from v$parameter) u on u.name = 'undo_retention' );
When running this query, the next result will show when UNDO_RETENTION = 900 and TUNED_UNDORETENTION is about 1800 seconds:
STATUS MB PERC FULL --------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ACTIVE 2 1 1 EXPIRED 0 0 0 UNEXPIRED 254 99 50 ---------- ---------- ---------- sum 256 100 51
Unexpired at 99% is not really a problem here, because the tuned retention is twice as large as the desired retention!
Since 10gR2, a maximum retention is introduced. The longest period of tuned undo I have seen is 96 hours. Automatic tuning retention can also be turned off using the hidden '_undo_autotune=false' parameter (don't use until Oracle suggested this hidden parameter). See also My Oracle Support Note: Full UNDO Tablespace In 10gR2 [ID 413732.1].
Fixed/Auto Retention
If the Undo tablespace is configured with the autoextend option for the data files, Oracle sets the Retention Time to the time it takes for the longest-running query to run. This can result in a large Undo tablespace if there are un-tuned queries running on your system.
Again in 9i, even though it is called Automatic Undo Management, UNDO_RETENTION parameter seems always 'fixed', but it does mean you don't have to bother about Rollback Segments.
Shrink Undo tablespace
The Undo tablespace can only grow larger, but it can not shrink by itself. If you want to shrink the Undo tablespace, create a new one and set the UNDO_TABLESPACE parameter to the new Undo tablespace.
Retention Guaranteed
When you create the Undo tablespace with the RETENTION GUARANTEE option, UNEXPIRED Undo information will never get stolen. Set this if you want to guarantee Read Consistency or when you want to use Flashback with a guaranteed point-in-time!
Beware that when this is set, the chance of ORA-30036 errors increases. It's your choice: ORA-30036 or ORA-01555…
Setting the UNDO_RETENTION parameter to the longest running query
A good practice is to set the UNDO_RETENTION parameter to the longest running query, to avoid ORA-01555 (read consistency) errors. To get a good indication about the longest running query in the last 7 days, try:
select max(maxquerylen) from v$undostat;
One can also try V$SESSION_LONGOPS and V$TRANSACTION.
How much Undo will this generate?
Again take a look at V$UNDOSTAT and the UNDOBLKS column in particular.
For a worst case scenario size you can calculate much undo would have been generated when you multiply the highest rate with the longest query:
select round(max(undoblks/600)*8192*max(maxquerylen)/(1024*1024)) as "UNDO in MB" from v$undostat;
But, it could be your longest running query will not run when the most undo is generated…
Undo Advisor
The Undo Advisor can be found in the Oracle Enterprise Manager or by using the DBMS_ADVISOR package.
When opening the Undo advisor, it will show the current retention time and tablespace settings, but also shows analysis results, potential problems and recommendations.
New: When unchanged, this shows the current retention time setting. You can change the UNDO_RETENTION to a new value by selecting a dot on the line in the graph.
Oracle uses the statistics in the V$UNDOSTAT view to tune the Undo mechanism. A DBA can also use this view, together with V$ROLLSTAT to get a good indication of current workload. The DBA_HIST_UNDOSTAT view contains statistical snapshots of V$UNDOSTAT information.
All this information is based on the selected Analysis Time Period with the Undo generation rate within that period.
Automatic Undo Management not supported for LOBs. Undo information for LOBs is not stored Undo tablespace, but in the segment itself. For LOBs, the database uses the UNDO_RETENTION as a minimum, but when space becomes a problem, the UNEXPIRED Undo information for the LOB may be reused.
Even though Automatic Undo Management is able to tune itself, one needs to keep an eye on transaction duration, retention time and space consumed.
With the addition of Flashback technology to the database, the Undo tablespace is now also used to recover from user errors. When Retention Guaranteed is used, more priority is given to support Read Consistency and Flashback operations, because Oracle will not steal UNEXPIRED extents.
Furthermore the Undo Advisor can be used to visualise retention time vs. space consumed, but in case of Undo related errors, a DBA still needs to analyse V$UNDOSTAT and related views to solve problems other than 'just enlarge' the Undo tablespace.
Information in this article is based on my own experience and derived from articles and documentation found on the internet.

Guitarist Josh Farro left Paramore along with his brother and drummer Zac in 2010. Josh launched Novel American in 2011, which Zac would join later, but eventually they pulled the plug on the band and parted ways to focus on fronting new projects—Zac with the ambient band HalfNoise (who also released a full-length this year titled Sudden Feeling) and Josh with his indie effort, Farro. Josh released his first Farro single, "Color Rush," in November 2014, but his debut full-length Walkways didn't drop until February of this year. Farro supported the Rocket Summer on his Zoetic Tour in the spring and wrapped up the year with a headlining U.K. tour in November.
Former Hopeless Records signees There For Tomorrow released two full-lengths and two EPs via the label before self-releasing their final EP, Nightscape, and calling it quits in 2014. Frontman Maika Maile and drummer Chris Kamrada reunited under the name AFTRHR with a new single, "So Divine," in December 2015. Since then, AFTRHR have released another single, "Perfect," in June, while Maile launched an eponymous solo project with debut single "Dark Circles" on Oct. 18. Both projects have been teasing something in the works since each respective single was dropped, so only time will tell what's next.
Shane Told has been fronting Silverstein since their 2000 debut, and in October 2015, he revealed plans for a solo project onstage while opening for the Wonder Years in Toronto. Further details were divulged in late January, when Told announced the project —dubbed River Oaks—had a self-titled debut EP available. River Oaks will be closing out the year by embarking on a mini U.S. tour with support from former Spitalfield frontman Mark Rose.
Wonder Years' frontman Dan "Soupy" Campbell launched his solo project, Aaron West And The Roaring Twenties, in May 2014, citing in an introductory video that he had a desire to "expand lyrically and as a songwriter." His solo debut We Don't Have Each Other, which was produced by the Early November's Ace Enders, is about the worst year in West's life. The follow-up EP, Bittersweet, dropped in May 2016.
Anthony Green is a busy man. This year marked his return to Saosin in the form of the Epitaph Records release Along The Shadow. Circa Survive will also be hitting the road for an On Letting Go 10-year anniversary tour early next year, and Green confirmed via a Reddit AMA that a new album is on the horizon. Despite his dedication to other projects, he found the time to pour his heart into a collection of tracks for his fourth solo full-length, Pixie Queen, which dropped in September.
Mat Kerekes fronts Citizen but also dabbles with hardcore act Power Wrench. He's released two splits: one solely with Spitback in 2014 and another with Spitback and the equally hardcore Snarl (fronted by the Story So Far's Parker Cannon) in 2015. Kerekes also helms a more Citizen-like solo project that dropped a debut self-titled EP in 2014 and a full-length, Luna & The Wild Blue Everything, in August of this year. He released a video for "My Lucky #3," which he collaborated on with Citizen guitarist Ryland Oehlers for the latter's directorial debut. Kerekes also joined Secret Space in opening for Anthony Green on his Pixie Queen Tour this past September.
Valencia announced their hiatus in October 2011, playing a final show in December of that year. Five years later, they broke their silence and announced two reunion shows slated for this December, but between then and now, frontman Shane Henderson kept busy. Henderson turned to work on Shane Henderson And The Future Perfect, self-releasing the Control EP in 2013. This year, he moved on from that and dusted off Promise Of Redemption, a project he had been working on since the early 2000s. He released two albums under that name—The Lights That Flicker Will Surely Fade in 2004 and When The Flowers Bloom… in 2008—before Valencia started to take off. In May, Henderson signed to Know Hope Records, a label co-owned by Valencia guitarist JD Perry. Promise Of Redemption dropped a blend of acoustic and full band tracks on the Where You Ought To Be EP in July through the label.
Cobra Starship announced their end via a farewell from frontman Gabe Saporta on the band's website in November 2015. Keytarist and backing vocalist Victoria Asher has never shied away from the creative arts, having assisted director Thomas Cobb on the opening title sequences for Orange Is The New Black and Homeland, as well as director Michel Gondry on a Nespresso commercial starring George Clooney. Asher also co-directed one of Cobra Starship's music videos, "Kiss My Sass," so it's no surprise she would direct her own solo debut for the sugary-sweet pop anthem "Protect This Love" that dropped this April. Her website reveals an EP is in the works, and she has recently been teasing via social media with stills of her next music video for an unreleased track, "Push Comes To Shove."
Like Iero, My Chemical Romance guitarist/backing vocalist Ray Toro embarked on a solo career following the band's breakup announcement in March 2013. Toro posted his first (and totally DIY) solo song "Isn't That Something" in May of that year. He launched a website in August 2014 with a few more demos and the announcement he would be entering the studio with producer Doug McKean (who also produced Gerard Way's 2014 solo release Hesitant Alien). Toro released his next track, "For The Lost And Brave," in January 2015 after being motivated to share the song following the suicide of 17-year-old transgender girl Leelah Alcorn. Toro released another snippet of solo material titled "Hope For The World" in July of this year, and "Take The World" in October. His debut album Remember The Laughter dropped Nov. 18, and it included many of the songs he had teased fans with since 2013. He wrote all of the songs and played most of the instruments on the album himself.

Our hot streak continued last night as we won our only bet, the Under 5 in Kings/Sharks. We're now 6-1 in the Stanley Cup playoffs, 14-3-3 in our last 20 and on a 9-0 run with our Best Bets!
San Jose scored last night in the opening minute and LA tied it by the middle point of the first period. We'd pretty much given up hopes of cashing an Under 5 by the time we headed to bed at the first intermission, but the teams didn't score again until LA won the game in overtime.
We tweeted out last night how we regretted passing on the Stars after they took an early 2-0 lead in Minnesota. But the Wild stormed back for a 5-3 win to make that series interesting again. Washington took a 3-0 chokehold on the Flyers in the other game last night, routing Philly 6-1.
Tonight, we've got the Ducks desperate to avoid going down 0-3 to Nashville; Detroit needing a win to square up their series 2-2 going back to Tampa; Chicago looking to tie things up with St. Louis; and the Rangers and Penguins playing Game 3 of their series, with the winner taking a 2-1 lead.
There was a ton of value on St. Louis earlier today at Sports Interaction, which listed the Blues at +155. They're down to +145 as we're writing this, which is still tempting, but we think the Blackhawks find a way tonight. We can't lay the heavy price with Chicago, though.
Honestly, not sure what to think about Game 4 of Tampa/Detroit, and we're spectators for Game 3 of Rangers/Penguins as well.
Going with 1 pick a day has been working pretty well of late, and we'll do that with 1 bet in the Ducks/Predators series.
Odds below are at the time we made the pick. Be sure to check out our live odds page for updated odds on today's games.
If you've followed our tips at all, you won't be surprised at this pick. We've been on the Over 5 in each of the first two games, pushing them both. Nashville STILL hasn't played a game with less than 5 goals in nearly 2 months.
Anaheim's obviously going to bring it tonight, but we don't expect it to be easy. This should be another very competitive game, and we expect at least 2 goals from each side once again. At this low total and at almost even odds, we'll try the Over 5 for a third time.

You can start by choosing the color palette first before adding another decoration.

Predictions on the Champions Trophy
As the day's rolls on leading up to the final champions trophy tournament, teams look to put in their final preparations into overdrive whether is to play a warm up game, to have net sessionor just to analyze opposing squads that are taking part in the tournament. Whichever one they are doing at the moment I can tell you this will be a cracker of a competition. This time in England (where the tournament is keeping) always produce some even cricket where bowling and batting is concerned so look out for some high scoring matches and also low scoring matches as well.
Teams to Look Out For
The two groups boast the top eight teams in international 50 overs cricket however, some are in a higher state of presence in cricket as we speak. When you look at group A with the likes of South Africa, India who are currently number one in the world in 50 overs cricket, Pakistan and West indies, these four teams possess the tenacity and quality to lift the trophy at the end of the tournament. If cricket was like that all the teams would have come to play. Based on current form and team morale I would put my money on Pakistan and West Indies.
Let's talk about Pakistan firstly and their chances in this tournament. This team from Asia has always been regarded as being inconsistent but they have always been feared as well because on their day they are an outstanding team. Having guys in their batting line up like Mohammed Hafeez, the very talented and young pair of Nasir Jamshed and Asad Shafiq, the consistent Misbah Ul Haq and the very dangerous veteran in Kamran Akmal. All these guys on their day are match winners and with the young guns Shafiq and Jamshed performing on a regular basis it's going to be hard to stop a team like this. Their bowling attacking is second to none with guys like Saeed Ajmal, Junaid khan, Mohammed Hafeez and Mohammed Irfan. This team is going cause a lot of trouble in the tournament even without players like Shahid Afridi and Umar Akmal.
The next team I predict to go through is the men from the Caribbean - you guessed it, the West Indies. Having not played at their best in the last champions trophy tournament because issues with their board which had them fielding a second string team, they should be eyed with cautioned. Any team with a player of the impact and class of Chris Gayle must be taken seriously. He showed what damaged he can do on his day in the just concluded Indian Premier League placing second in the runs list behind Mr cricket himself, Michael hussey, but topping the other batting list especially the highest individual innings (that world wind record breaking 175 against pune warriors). Along with Gayle, players like the classy trio of Marlon Samuels, Ramnaresh Sarwan and Darren Bravo are also looked upon to spare head the batting charge with ample support coming the captain Dwayne Bravo, the big hitting Keiron Pollard who showed he could bat for long periods against Australia earlier this year and also Darren Sammy. In the bowling department the pacy pair of Kemar Roach and Ravi Rampaul along with spin wizard Sunil Narine will look to lead the charge with the support of the captain, Sammy and Samuels with his reliable off breaks. Both teams look really balanced and should be paid attention to and although the other two teams boast in their line ups very good players, the performance of every member is going to be so important to determine this group that's classified as the group of death.
Group B seems to be the easier of the two groups and although there are four wonderful, talented teams in them this one seems a bit straightforward than the other. My predictions for the two teams to go through would be New Zealand and Australia. England and Sri Lanka are struggling in the same department (their bowling). England only have James Anderson and Graeme Swann who are fit and can get the job done right now, but that's only 20 overs. Alistair Cook's job seems harder right now having lost the one day series even before contesting the final match and they are missing their two frontline bowlers in Stuart Broad and Steven Finn. Tim Bresnan looks more focused on his wife's pregnancy than anything right now and Jade Dernbach is just not getting it right.
Sri Lanka now only has one consistent bowler in Lasith Malinga and playing against India recently in a warm up game he watched his team lose after they gave them 335 runs to chase. This doesn't speak well at all for the team and their chances.
On the other hand New Zealand are playing the best cricket of the year right now for a team who couldn't even make 100 runs in test cricket. They have already won the series against England with the third and final match not yet being contested. They boast in their batting line up the resurgent Martin Guptill, Kane Williamson and the very destructive duo of Ross Taylor and Skipper Brendon McCullum. Their bowling don't spark in anyone's mind right away but with the leader Tim Southee very close to his best and Nathan McCullum always coming at you, they will get the job done with the support of the rest of the lads.
Whenever a global cricket tournament comes around the name Australia always takes spotlight. They are true champions and there always will be gunning for more titles that we have been accustomed to seeing. They have a fighting spirit like no other, they play hard and tough cricket right throughout the game and judge themselves harder than anyone else. Although this is viewed as one of, if not the weakest teams they have ever presented at a tournament they still possess the firepower to beat every team in this competition. In their batting line up they have the likes of Captain Michael Clarke, the powerful shot makers in Shane Watson and David Warner in company with the ever busy George Bailey. The bowling is a bit young but very talented with only speedster Mitchell Johnson having any history of champions trophy. He will be backed by all-rounder Mitchell Marsh, quickie Mitchell Starc, the always dangerous Clink McKay with those slower balls and cutters and Shane Watson whose bowling will be seen as important as his contribution with the bat.
Players to look out for.
There are several players that should be keenly tracked throughout this campaign for different reason. With the bat:
Darren Bravo
Mohammed hafeez
Shane Watson
Martin Guptill
Dinesh Karthik
Virat Kohli
While with ball these are the players to look out for:
James Anderson
Sunil Narine
Saeed Ajmal
Mohammed Irfan
Lasith Malinga
Umesh Yadav
In closing these opinions are that of the writer Javaughn Buchanan and no one else and should simply be read to prepare for the eventful couple weeks ahead. Do enjoy the tournament everyone.

Raiders come up short in finale
By CHUCK HATHCOCK
Sports Editor
Kirk Academy Coach Ken Chandler was hoping that his kids would find a way to close the season with a win Friday.
The Raiders had just a single win heading into the season finale at home against Macon Road Baptist Academy from Arlington, Tenn.
All the scoring took place in the opening half as Kirk came up short, losing a 14-7 decision.
The Raiders end the season while Macon Road improves to 5-5 on the season.
"We thought going into the game that we could attack the perimeter," Chandler said. "Most of our success running the football came on the inside."
Defensively, the Raiders slowed down Macon's flexbone in the second half limiting them to 70 yards.
"We allowed them to get outside on us in the first half," Chandler said. "We adjusted at halftime and did a much better job in the second half."

Man shot by Logan deputy identified as Peyton resident
March 28, 2003
The man a Logan County sheriff's deputy shot and killed near New Raymer has been identified as Bruce J. Steiner, 38, of Peyton.
Steiner was identified by his sister. He was killed March 14. He aroused suspicion that day as he tried to sell items such as a hand-held scale to customers at a Conoco gas station in Sterling.
Police began to pursue Steiner, and identified his car as belonging to a New York resident wanted on three felony charges. The chase continued into northeastern Weld County and reached speeds of 115 miles per hour before Steiner's car overheated west of New Raymer.
He then got out of the car and approached sheriff's deputies wielding a gun. One of the deputies warned him to drop the gun, but he continued his approach. The deputy fired one round, which hit and killed Steiner.
The two deputies were placed on administrative leave and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation is handling the investigation. The Sterling Journal Advocate reported that one of the deputies was involved in a police shooting that resulted in a man being killed last July.
Steiner had a run-in with the law in July 2001 when he was arrested after attempting to admit himself to Pike Peak Mental Health in Colorado Springs. When he was told he didn't qualify for the program, he camped out on the sidewalk and refused to leave. He later pleaded guilty to resisting arrest and served 15 days in jail. He was cited in Weld County for minor traffic violations in 1999.
