Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Q: Sequence delay
Sorry, haven't mentioned it (supposed it's evident) : we've tried different values up to max (as stated in Oracle docs) and even NOCACHE with ORDERED and NO ... Problem still pops up. There even any correlation with intensity couldn't be catch - it happens even in deep night with rare transaction - it's how it was discovered. The effect is not stable, it comes and goes, and i cannot see any rule there. I suspect there might be some latch contention, but statistics seems to be normal because they're statistics :) and cannot be impacted by random fluctuations ... Haven't anybody met something like it?
The worse thing it's a customer's instance we do not have full and free access to, and it's rather 7x1440 than 7x24, eh ;) Response limit is said to be 3-5", end even such is complained as delay often ... Of course, downtime happens, but there is no place to play, and we're failing to reproduce the problem on our development instances.
Strange, there wasn't such a problem while the same thing was running 126.96.36.199/HPUX 10.20. Might it have some impact the migration between 22.214.171.124 and 8.1.6 was done as file migration, not imp/exp?

Exporting Generators: Choosing the Right Gas Contractor
Investing in a new gas powered furnace is a significant move. Any variety of capital betterment to your property must be granted plenty of consideration considering that the results are important and long-lasting. There will be much to look at each time purchasing a whole new furnace still there is possibly no factor to be prescribed a lot more weight rather than picking a reliable provider.
No matter how much researching you do relating to different heating unit capabilities and prerequisites, it can't be a replacement for the true to life experience of a contractor who has fitted countless furnaces in households like your own. Check out all the end user records you desire on numerous models. Then again, developing a connection with the one who will be concerned with installing them and maintaining them will without a doubt assist you for making the ideal purchase installation conclusions.
That said, companies could possibly have an association with a particular manufacturer and are merely on hand to install different types of that brand name. This is okay due to the fact you will find lots of good brands available. However an element of your initial examination must be knowing what producers are acceptable to you as this can be the very first thing that may restrict which service provider you prefer.
The 10 Commandments of Homes And How Learn More
At this juncture, set out to establish your set of dealers. You may begin with the classifieds, but that may be fairly challenging and random. The best choice obviously is personal recommendations. Buddies and family members, mainly those with households and necessities similar to yours, are a decent aid here. Don't be shy. If folks are fond of or despise their service provider, they really love to have a discussion about it. Determine the keen reports (favorable or negative) and utilize those to improve or shrink your selection.
The Key Elements of Great Homes
If you have a good set, embark on making a couple of telephone calls. It really is perfectly okay to basically speak with them for a while and see the vibe you have from them. As soon as they aren't delighted with speaking with you for just a few minutes, they very likely aren't able to supply you with the quality treatment you desire if you decide to contract them. Apart from your personal outlook of the contractor, you should definitely additionally be contemplating with regards to their convenience and a customary cost bracket. Secure referrals also. A sensible way to generate outstanding referrals from installers would be to seek work references from individuals in your own vicinity. They may not have them, but the truth is you can tend to believe the work references more whenever they do.

Legislation is always a dangerous thing, because you never are always aware as to what is the foundation for legislation. What is the driving idea? There is a common misconception that law is neutral, but law by its very nature can never be neutral; there is always a moral reason/idea behind any law.
Before we even begin to formulate moral reasons for a law we must always examine the "god" behind the idea for that law. What standard and source of authority are we appealing to in order to assert the justification of that law for society? Only once we ask this question will we begin to somewhat predict and understand the impact a law will have upon the ethics of our society.
R. J. Rushdoony summed it up well;
"Behind every system of law there is a god. To find the god in any system, locate the source of law in that system. If the source of law is the individual, then the individual is the god of that system. If the source of law is the people, or the dictatorship of the proletariat, then these things are the gods of those systems. If our source of law is a court, then the court is our god. If there is no higher law beyond man, then man is his own god, or else his creatures, the institutions he has made, have become his gods. When you choose your authority, you choose your god, and where you look for your law, there is your god."
Who or what is your god? Ideas have consequences. Sometimes those consequences can be horrible though the best of intentions were the base for those ideas.

Before you hire a pest control, know that there are two ways you can approach pest control – organically or chemically and any good pest control expert will have both options available.The benefits of hiring an effective pest control expert for your garden not only include the organic or chemical options but also having the "how to" knowledge which is the most important aspect of pest control. Also, the one thing that most folks are unaware of, is that; you can have plants battle the pests themselves – by at the onset, planting specific plants that deter pests. Your local landscaper or garden service provider e.g. Fox Mowing will tell you more about it.When it comes to garden pests, part of the problem can be soil imbalances, ineffective watering techniques and so forth. Fact is, an improper diet will weaken not just humans but plants too. So another benefit of hiring a effective pest control expert for your garden is that, they will also do a soil test to analyse the soil health. A healthy soil mix will lead to healthier plants and in turn, the plants will be able to resist disease much better. This in itself, is an effective pest control remedy.The above however does not hold true for the vegetable patch. The reason being that all vegetables tend to be tender and nutritious and apart from humans, insects love it too. The better the soil, the better the veggies and more abundant the insects. So in the case of your vegetable patch, a competent pest controller will offer either organic sprays or chemical sprays. Naturally, the organic sprays are eco-friendly but take a bit longer to get rid of the pests. An integrated approach to pest management usually works best and your pest control expert for your garden can help you with this. They will usually suggest a diversity of plants and also landscape design. Landscape design because even a very small water pond will attract many insects. Likewise, if your garden has many flowering plants it will attract parasitic and predatory insects. As they say, there are two sides to every coin.Not all pest control experts will recommend an instant treatment. In fact, after a brief study of your garden, some pest control experts might well recommend you do nothing and let nature takes its own course – this happens especially if they find that one pest is helping control another more damaging and harmful variety of pest. Also, organic pest control sprays usually work on certain types of pests only while chemicals may end up harming the very plants you are trying to protect. So another benefit of hiring a pest control expert for your garden, is to help identify the best approach.In summary, the benefits of hiring Professional Lawn Maintenance expert for your garden include:1. Identifying the source of the problem – soil nutrition or pest2. Study and identify a course of action (or no action)3. Where action required, recommend the type of action and reason for it4. Recommend a long-term pest control plan and strategyThe most professional Weed Control Services and pest controllers in Sydney are Fox Mowing and they have a ton of information at their online site here: http://foxmowing.com.au

text: He Tried to Be a Badger June 23, 2016 Issue Being a Beast: Adventures Across the Species Divide by Charles Foster Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are? by Frans de Waal Charles Foster, author of Being a Beast: Adventures Across the Species Divide, proposes that humans spend less time thinking about or even observing animals and more time emulating them. To appreciate what it's like to be an otter, try catching fish in your mouth. To appreciate what it's like to be a fox, try sleeping under a porch by day and foraging through garbage bins at night. The conceit is obviously demented, and Foster, a man of—by his own description—"shaggy, anarchic pretensions," pursues it with unhinged élan.

eating habits
A Little Milk Makes Maddie Batty
They say milk does a body good – but how it impacts Maddie is still up for debate. Maddie was ripping through a big dinner tonight when we decided to give the old milk bottle another try. To say she liked would be a terrible understatement.
As soon as Maddie started drinking, she was all amped up and feeling good. So good in fact, that she kept swinging the sippy cup around her head between sips. This of course led to a forecast of heavy milk rain for the wooden floor with a smattering honeydew melon pieces.
As I bent down with a paper towel, I got a little conk on the head with the sippy cup. Next thing I know I feel milk misting over my scalp. I looked up to see Maddie laughing maniacally as she sprinkled my head with milk. I'm sure I wasn't supposed to laugh, but the baby was so pleased with herself that I joined in on her raucous laughter.
Rather than take the milk away from her, I took shelter under the high chair and gave her toes a few well-placed bites. Now Maddie was practically beside herself with laughter. We kept up with our hunger games for a few more minutes before resuming our normal mealtime.
For a girl that turns one-year-old this weekend, Maddie already is exhibiting a seriously well-developed and advanced sense of humor.
Peek-a-Boo Mealtime Taxing Baby's Hair Style
As abrupt as Maddie's movements are, it will be some time before a pair of scissors comes anywhere near that perfect little head of hers. So her varying lengths of hair are here to stay for a while.
This makes things really interesting especially during mealtime. When Maddie has had enough to eat now, she alerts us to this fact by rubbing her hands into her hair and hiding her eyes behind her hands.
Mealtime was already quite a messy business, but we are quickly reaching new heights. Watermelon and cantaloupe juice has become a staple deep into the roots of her scalp. Apple sauce and scrambled eggs are all too happy to take up residence and in Maddie's hair. Add a little bit of 2% milk on top of those flowing locks and you have a party going on top of Maddie's head.
Once this mixture is in place, those coated strands of hair stick out at multiple angles like a messy bale of hay. And until she actually gets her hair washed, this fashion-forward look is hers for the day.
The majority of the hair atrocities take place at night, but a couple of them have happened during lunch. There's nothing like putting a cute little skirt on girl with a whacky head of hair like that. Maddie is just a few weeks from her first birthday, but she is already becoming quite a fashion trendsetter.
Baby Captures Her First Pigeon
I tried to explain the catch and release policy to Maddie regarding the trapping of city pigeons, but my pleas fell on deaf ears. We were in the city park today when a bold pigeon ventured a little too close to Maddie and her treasured bagel. My 10-month-old bundle of joy shot out of the crib snatching the unsuspecting bird straight out of the air.
The poor flying rat never stood a chance. We wrapped him up and took it home for a little impromptu lunch. This is when I remembered that I had some fantastic duck waiting for us in the refrigerator. It was sure to be more tender than the pigeon and perhaps not quite as gamey.
What I didn't anticipate is how much Maddie would enjoy this new type of meat. I gave her a drumstick to work over and she was hooked. As soon as she jammed the bone into her mouth, her mighty jaws snapped it cleanly in half. She was quite content to gnaw on Daffy's remains until all the meat was gone from the shredded bird.
As Maddie's appetite ramps up, so does her enthusiasm for eating. She hasn't gained any weight in nearly a month, but she seems to be getting taller by the day. Her propensity for immersing herself into the middle of mischief is quickly becoming the stuff legends are made of.
Breakfast Morphs into Undercover Body Art Project
As I have stated in the past, Maddie is a spectacular eating machine. She has mastered a wide variety of foods across the eating spectrum. She tears into each bite with an unbridled exuberance that is difficult to properly describe. But there are days when her eating is just for show.
These are the dog days of eating when you don't discover that the baby wasn't actually eating until you lift her up. It turns out that our 40-minute eating session this morning was nothing but a mirage. Maddie the illusionist seemingly destroyed multiple chunks of banana, watermelon and bagels. I was sitting right there in front of her watching her place the chunks into her mouth and go to work.
I noticed a few pieces fall by the wayside down into the depths of her lap, but didn't really give it a second thought. Sometimes there is a little collection of chewed food to pick through after Maddie has been sprung from her chair. I expected some cleanup after our meal today, but I was not prepared for the power and the glory of what Maddie had compiled today.
I removed the high chair table and stopped dead in my tracks. Maddie's bare legs were camouflaged in this morning's full array of breakfast. From the waste down, it appeared as if Maddie's legs were made of fruit and bread. It was like a three layer baby bean dip with exotic watermelon pinks on top, creamy banana in the middle and a flaky crust of wet bagel dough as a base covering her skin.
The watermelon pieces were all chewed down to about the size of raisins and the bananas looked to be straight out of a blender. The bagel doe was not as refined as the rest of the dish, but it was still most impressive. What strikes me is that this was all somehow put together while I sat right in front her while her hands were placed on top of the table.
When I lifted Maddie out of the chair, even more ingredients began spilling out from hidden places all over the floor. It dawned on me that I never got to taste this baby dip, but the grades are in. Maddie scored high marks for execution and presentation and an "A+" for stealth and sneakiness.
Baby Blurs the Line Between Oatmeal and Hair Gel
As we experiment with more and more foods for Maddie, the feeding process changes a little bit each time. We are now beginning each morning with a variety of three foods for the baby to work on.
This morning we introduced Maddie to the world a watermelon and what an introduction it was. The first bite was met with shock and surprise. But after a few seconds, Maddie realized she had a new favorite.
However, she had a very difficult time wrapping her mind around the fact that with each bite, she would get a new splash of flavored water. After making sure she got her fill of melon, bananas and strawberries it was finally time for the main course.
Maddie ripped into her oatmeal with a vengeance seemingly savoring each bite. We were about half way through the bowl when Maddie came up with what I can only describe as an oatmeal epiphany.
I didn't notice at first, but Maddie had stored the last few bites of oatmeal in her mouth. This is when I decided that mealtime was over. I would let Maddie work on her large mouthful of magic and then clean her up for playtime.
That's when Maddie pulled the trigger. She scooped a heaping portion of oatmeal out of her mouth and started massaging her scalp with it. There was really nothing to be done but watch and enjoy the show.
She made sure the clumps were mixed well inside of her hair before she put her hands at her side to gauge my reaction. I just smiled at her and began the arduous clean up process. Normally this would warrant a bath, but I just wiped her head down with a wet paper towel and let her ride out the day with the SLICK look. I can hardly wait to see what she does with the new salmon baby packets we bought.
Baby Adopts Extreme Eating Challenge
Now that she is 7-months-old, Maddie is completely revamping the way she eats solid food. As a matter of fact, solid food intake is becoming quite the extreme sport in our household along the lines of skydiving and repelling.
Our first extreme meal started during the late morning. It turns out that a little bit of cinnamon oats and apple can go a long way in the arena of face painting.
It's funny how this activity starts off in such a civilized manner. I gently urge Maddie to "help me" with the spoon and she gently guides it right into her mouth. However, after about our fifth spoonful of "civility" things start to break down. The first sign is when the baby decides that the contents in her mouth need a closer inspection.
She reaches in and comes out with fingerfuls of the goop we worked so hard to get in there in the first place. She examines these contents with a laser-like focus, evaluating what went in and how it has changed in appearance.
After her curiosity is satisfied, she decides that the mess on her fingers should be liberally applied to her left ear. WHAT A GREAT IDEA!! And once the left ear amassed a generous portion of oats and apples all over it – she just had to keep going.
So after every few spoonfuls, she shared the rations with her hungry left ear. Not the right ear, which is far too civilized for such antics, just the left one. Needless to say, our cleanup took a bit longer than usual.
The nighttime meal of homemade sweet potato produced a whole new set of challenges in the form of FLYING FOOD! Who knew that sweet potato was so aerodynamically designed for flight?
When my wife came home this evening, she noticed that my eyebrows and eyelids were caked with a spackling of sweet potato. She must have thought that I was trying to keep up with Maddie. This is because the baby determined that not only can sweet potato fly, but it also works as some type of mudpack to be applied liberally around the mouth and eyes.
As you can see from the picture above, a good time was had by all and Maddie was taking no prisoners.

I am very obsessive about backing up my data. To preserve space on my MacBook Air's drive, I store most of media files on a WD Passport external drive. Additionally I back that media up on a second (and oftentimes a third) desktop external drive. Sure, this is a little OCD but it'd be quite a shame to lose all of my files, should my first Passport drive fail me.

Virtual Terminal Sessions with Screen
Not so long ago, a co-worker and friend of mine introduced me to the UNIX application,
screen. While I was really excited to learn of something so useful, I was also deeply saddened in realizing that it was right under my nose all this freaking time. In this short post, I'm going to show you how you can take advantage of this clever little utility.
Disable the Character Picker in OS X
OS X 10.7 (Lion) introduced a feature called the Character Picker. This allows you to press-and-hold a key on your keyboard, activating a little popup with the different character options associated with that key. This can be a useful feature for some, as it allows you to visually see all of those additional character options and not have to know how to otherwise activate each of them. I, however, found that it was more of a hinderance to my workflow. For example, when I am editing my code in VIM or Vintage Mode in Sublime Text, this feature prevents me from holding down the movement keys (h, j, k, l) to navigate. So I decided to disable it.
Secure Copy Syntax Examples
Secure Copy (SCP) is a means of securely transferring files between hosts on a network. It is based on the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol. The command line
scp program, which is provided in most SSH implementations, is the secure analog of the rcp command.
Super Fast Find and Replace with Sed
Sed is a UNIX stream editor that can be used to filter text files. This can be extremely useful if you have to run a Find and Replace on a string of text across a large file. I find this to be much more efficient than using a Find and Replace feature in a text editor. It is much faster (especially on very large files) and you can let it run in a separate Terminal tab without holding up your workflow.
Viewing Apache Logs with Tail and Grep
As a developer, there may be times when you need to monitor what is happening on an Apache server as live HTTP requests are coming in from a web page. In a UNIX environment, you can actually accomplish this quite painlessly through the command line, using the
tail and
grep commands.
Tail is a command which outputs the last part of a file and the
grep utility is used for pattern matching.

At NYC cocktail oasis Pegu Club, proprietor Audrey Saunders' Gin-Gin Mule has rightfully earned a place in the modern-day cocktail canon. Saunders has described this gingery cocktail as a cross between a Moscow Mule (another ginger beer-based drink) and a Mojito (usually a rum drink but here made with gin). It's a perennially popular call at the bar.
While this refreshing cocktail certainly can be made with canned ginger fizz, it gets even better when mixed with house-made ginger beer, which is remarkably easy to make at home.
"Store-bought stuff has a peppery, more than gingery, profile," says Saunders, interviewed in newly released book "New York Cocktails" (Cider Mill Press, $19.95) by Amanda Schuster. In addition, many brands can be "insipid," she says.
While Pegu Club makes ginger beer by the gallon, here's a smaller-scale version to try at home. It takes a little time—note the one-hour wait for the ingredients to fully integrate—but yields enough for several cocktails, since only an ounce of this intensely gingery elixir is all that's needed for maximum piquancy. The recipe does not call for carbonation, however. To make it bubbly, add sparkling water, seltzer or club soda to taste. (Note: Some variations on this recipe call for two ounces of ginger beer when canned versions are used.)

The Average person will eat 10,866 carrots in their lifetime.
Carrots were the first vegetable to be canned commercially
The Longest Carrot recorded in 1996 was 5.14 metres (16 feet 10 ½ inches)
Carrots produce more distilled spirit than potatoes
In early Celtic literature, the carrot is referred to as the "Honey Underground"!
Carrots are one of the rare vegetables which are more nutritious cooked than raw
Carrots were first grown as a medicine not a food
It's a myth that Mel Blanc, the voice of Bugs Bunny, was allergic to carrots – he simply did not like them.

Apple pie is my favorite kind of pie. I mean, pie is delicious. And, although I don't particularly love pecan pie, pretty much any kind of pie is my favorite pie. Apple pie is comfort food though. The best part about apple pie is that it's so versatile. For instance, you can have apple pie at Christmas and on 4th of July. It's the quintessential American dessert and I don't know a person who doesn't love it. But my absolute favorite is dutch apple pie.
Dutch apple pie, is like regular apple pie but somehow better. Just take the same amazing apple pie filling and you put sugar, butter and flour on top! How could it be any better than that?! If you have ever wondering how to make Dutch apple pie, it's nothing to be intimidated about. It's really simple, and of course, delicious.
What you'll need for the pie:
- 5 baking apples ~ baking apples are basically tart apples, like Granny Smith, jazz or even Fuji. In this recipe I used Fuji apples because that's what I had on hand.
- 3 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
- 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp Cloves
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 Pie Crust, unbaked (if you need an amazing pie crust recipe, please see: Simply Delicious Homemade Pie Crust)
What you'll need for the topping:
- 3/4 cup Flour
- 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/3 cup Butter (room temperature)
Step 1 ~ Take your five apples, peel, core and slice them. They have these really cool apple coring appliances if you do a lot of stuff with apples. Otherwise, feel free to do it by hand, it'll just take a bit longer. Then, put them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2 ~ Add your flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, lemon juice, nutemeg, cinnamon and cloves. Mix until the apples are completely coated in the sugary goodness!
Step 3 ~ Pour the apple mixture into your beautiful homemade pie crust!
Step 4 ~ In the same mixing bowl (to save on additional dish washing) combine the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar and butter until mixture is crumbly. Pour and spread evenly on top of the pie.
Step 5 ~ Bake at 375 degrees for 50 minutes (or until browned and hot all the way throughout). Your pie will be bubbly and delicious!
Take your pie out and let a cool a bit, but not too much! It still needs to be warm so you can serve it with that delicious vanilla ice cream! This will be the perfect accompaniment to any holiday dinner or great for a summer barbecue. Enjoy!
Classic Dutch Apple Pie
Easy and delicious, this classic dutch apple pie will be your go-to recipe for apple pie from now on!
For the Pie
- 1 Pie Crust
- 5 or 6 Baking Apples Peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar Packed
- 3 Tbsp Flour
- 1/2 Tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1/4 Tsp Nutmeg
- 1/8 Tsp Cloves
For the Topping
- 3/4 Cup Flour
- 1/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
- 1/3 Cup Butter Room temperature
Peel, core and slice 5 baking apples.
Put sliced apple in a large mixing bowl, combine lemon juice, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Mix until the apples are coated and all the ingredients are mixed well.
Fill the pie crust with the apple filling.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, sugar, brown sugar and butter.
Spread evenly over the top of the pie. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Cook at 375 degrees for 50 minutes, until pie is browned and apple filling is bubbling! Enjoy!

What is he going to do when the aliens start dropping bigger rocks; or you know, a bomb?
"Radivoje Lajic first came to international attention in 2008, shortly after the fifth meteorite had crashed into the roof of his house in the northern village of Gornji Lajici.
And now, within the past month, another rock has hit the roof of his house, in defiance of all the odds - making it six strikes since the plague of meteorites began in 2007.
Experts at Belgrade University have confirmed that all the falling rocks he has handed over were meteorites. They are now trying to work out what exactly it is about his house that particularly attracts them. The strikes always happen when it is raining heavily, he says, never when there are clear skies.
Lajic has his own explanation, of course. After the fifth rock struck his house, he said: 'I am obviously being targeted by extraterrestrials. I don't know what I have done to annoy them but there is no other explanation that makes sense. The chance of being hit by a meteorite is so small that getting hit six times has to be deliberate.'"

Most people first heard Vince Staples in 2013, when he appeared on the single "Hive" from Earl Sweatshirt's soon-to-be-released album Doris. Vince's lazy, almost slurred delivery fit the atmospheric production just as well as Earl's, and "Hive" remains a high point on Doris. At this point, with a few small mixtapes under his belt and a frequent feature on Odd Future releases, savvy listeners were eager to hear what Vince had to say. In 2014, Vince released Shyne Coldchain Vol. 2, a mixtape with production from Chicago legend No I.D., to positive reviews. To me, though, it was with Vince's 2014 EP Hell Can Wait, a 24-minute flash of west coast brilliance that cemented him as a rising star to watch.
Soon, Vince would announce his full length debut, to be titled Summertime '06. A 20-track double album, clocking in at just under an hour, executive produced by No I.D. (who was only on one track from Hell Can Wait). Understandably, I was stoked. Hell Can Wait remains my favorite EP from 2014, and was one of my favorite releases of the year as a whole. The bass on "Blue Suede" still gives me chills.
On May 4th, Vince released his first single from Summertime, "Senorita". I had high hopes, and felt a bit let down. "Senorita" is a fine song, but it felt essentially different from Hell Can Wait. The production was much more skeletal and ethereal, and while Vince only got better as a rapper, it lacked that certain oomph that drew me to Hell Can Wait. On June 22nd, though, my dreams came true. "Norf Norf", a Clams Casino-produced cut from disk 1 of Summertime, reminded me why I love Vince. Sure, the beat is still a lot more atmospheric than what you'll find on Hell Can Wait, but Vince's delivery felt more confident, the hook was damn catchy, and Clams' dreary drone matched Vince's dark lyricism to a T.
Finally, June 30th. Summertime '06 dropped, and I listened to it, front-to-back. And I have several times since then. And I like it. That being said, I don't love it. I love Hell Can Wait. Don't worry – I'm not going to give Summertime a bad review because it's not as good as another release by the same artist. By all accounts, Summertime is an above-average major label debut (unlike some other debuts we've seen this year, cough Action Bronson cough), and is worth a listen.
If anything, Summertime cements Vince's style. His lyrics are undeniably west coast gangster rap – but there's an edge of darkness, of nihilism, on almost every track. It's not a fully hopeless album, more like an album about trying to hold onto hope in a hopeless world. It's bleak, but it's beautiful, like watching a midsummer sunset from a run-down warehouse in the projects. If To Pimp a Butterfly is the story of blackness in the US, then Summertime '06 is the story of one black man in the US. If My Krazy Life is gangster rap through-and-through, then Summertime is gangster rap in a funhouse mirror.
All of this is evident before Vince even opens his mouth. Listen to the nostalgic surf guitar and off-kilter drum machine backed by seagulls and the ocean on the albums intro track, "Ramona Park Legend Pt. 1", punctuated by a gunshot, before the opening chords of "Lift Me Up", kick in. Then, a heavy synth line, almost like what you'd hear in a haunted house, picks up. Vince's first line: "I'm just a nigga / until I fill my pockets / then I'm mista nigga". The production almost feels like a twisted parody of the ever-popular DJ Mustard style, masterminded by No I.D. himself.
Basically, Summertime '06 has a very unique sound. The plus side of this is that it's an incredibly interesting listen, but unfortunately, we also see Vince and his production team stepping away from the sound that drew me to him in the first place on Hell Can Wait. Summertime is a sprawling, 20-track monster, but because it's only an hour long (To Pimp A Butterfly is 16 tracks and is 80 minutes), Vince ends up leaving thoughts unfinished and questions unanswered. There's a lot crammed into this album, but not much of it comes to any resolution. On top of that, Vince again and again showcases what feel like half-assed hooks. On some tracks ("Lift Me Up", "Norf Norf") a simple hook works, but when almost every hook is Vince repeating the name of the song or something similar, it feels like a missed opportunity. Hell Can Wait packs a lot into seven tracks and 23 minutes – it's a colorful explosion and over before you can quite figure out what's happening. Summertime, on the other hand, can start to be sonically repetitive – I honestly can't tell if it should be twenty minutes shorter or twenty minutes longer.
In the end, I enjoy Summertime 06. It's not the full-length Hell Can Wait that I wanted, but I doubt that sound would even work on a full album. Summertime is a unified experience, remarkably consistent, with killer production and Vince's trademark lyricism. It's worth your time and your money, and I'm excited to see what Vince does next.
Come for the beats, stay for the lyrics.8

This collection takes the form of six interviews numbered 4, 9, 15, 17, 27 and 42. Unless the reader has a great memory for numbers, the stories are likely to be remembered as 'The one about...' and this adds to the legendary, apocryphal quality of the collection. Jonathan Pinnock maintains that Parkin's stories 'effortlessly transcend their folk origins' and he is right; the fairy tale allusions don't distract the reader from the excellent writing and the varied landscapes of contemporary America. Interview #4 is with Ella Orlando. In a reversal that fits with the modern family, Ella is a good stepmother whose devotion to stepdaughters Cindy and Beth leads to loneliness. A visit to New Orleans for Mardi Gras and an encounter with a bed-bound seamstress who owns several beautiful costumes changes Ella's life. Interview #9 is a darker, more menacing tale of vigilante justice and racism, while Interview #42 imagines a very different way of life for seven New York dwarfs. Each of the stories is told in the first person and Parkin creates authentic, interesting characters who describe their experiences in varied, entertaining language.

Major Roads

Major Construction Projects
See Rhode Island/Construction for a list of LONG TERM Road Closures & Changes to Traffic Flow that impact the Waze Map.
Road types
Locking roads
In Rhode Island we have a set minimum standard for locking roads based on segment type. Any road of a certain segment type must be locked at least to the rank (level) in the chart below. Roads may be locked higher for protection and special situations (areas with construction, tricky design, frequent mistakes, imaging inaccuracies, and the like), but should not be locked lower.
A great time to implement these locks is while bringing the road types of an area into compliance with the current US road type standards (FC and highway systems). Lock the roads based on type after they've been set to current US road type standards.
|Segment Type
|Highest rank of connected segments
|Major Highway
|Minor Highway
|Primary Street
|1 (Auto)
|1 (Auto)
||-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-| Railroad |-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|
|• • • • Ferry • • • •
| 5
|Private Road
|1 (Auto)
Note: Do Not Mass Edit just to update locks to these standards, these can adjusted as you find while editing other aspects of the segments such as FC, speed limits, naming, etc.
Some segments still warrant higher locks and care should be taken when setting segment lock to these standards to look for and protect these special setups with higher locks. Some examples; segments which are part of BDP, U-turn prevention, or using micro-doglegs, or other complex intersection setups.
National guidance
- Divided Highways
- Carpool, HOV, Transit lanes
- Roundabouts/Traffic Circles
- Cul-de-sac's
- Parking Lot Roads
- Toll Roads
Non-Drivable Roads
Generally, if a road can't be driven on (e.g. Walking Trail, Pedestrian Boardwalk, Stairway, Railroad, Runway/Taxiway) then it should not be mapped in Waze. This is due to the way the routing engine works, as Waze WILL route users to drive on these "Non-Drivable" road types. Please note there are several Railroads mapped in Rhode Island, these are due to users incorrectly running Waze while on the train & contributing false data to the system. This false data has been known to effect drivers on adjacent roads. These railroads are mapped in a VERY particular manner by Senior Area Managers and Country Managers to prevent Waze from routing on them.
Speed / Red Light Cameras
Speed Cameras are NOT CURRENTLY LEGAL in the State of Rhode Island. There is no such prohibition on "driver feedback signs" - a radar/laser equipped sign that measures speed and displays the speed back to the driver. These can be fixed or trailer mounted with the later being much more prevalent. These devices CAN NOT issue tickets.
Red Light Cameras are LEGAL in the State of Rhode Island. The State of Rhode Island requires that each of these cameras be proceeded by a Photo Enforcement Sign. The only current Red Light Camera program in the state is in the City of Providence with 25 Cameras covering 15 Intersections.
There are also cameras mounted on traffic signals that are used as part of the signal control. These compare sequential images of the intersection approach to determine if there is a vehicle (car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, etc) waiting and will trigger the sequence. These devices CAN NOT issue tickets.
There are traditional traffic monitoring cameras covering most of the major highways in the state. These send live video to RI DOT and serve ONLY as a traffic monitoring system.
Please see the Know your Cameras section of the Waze Wiki for help in identifying the different cameras in use.

WASHINGTON, DC — Former National Security Agency Director Gen. Michael Hayden on Sunday dismissed recommended changes to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court as "cosmetic," including the idea of adding an adversarial system into the court's workings.
One potential solution to what has been seen as the court's "rubber-stamping" administration requests for warrants to target persons with the U.S. for eavesdropping includes adding an adversarial process to the court, one in which judges will have to hear opposing views on why a warrant should or shouldn't be granted. Hayden, however, doesn't see much value in such a change. "There are some things that people are calling for that I think will make people feel better, but they're largely cosmetic," he said. "They want an advocate at the [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] court? Okay, but I don't know if that changes anything."
"Tony Soprano doesn't get one," Hayden continued. "I mean when the FBI wants to go up for domestic criminal activity, there's not an advocate for someone up there."
Hayden spoke after the conclusion of a forum held at the St. John's Episcopal Church — located directly across from the White House — the first in a series on the tension between security and liberty. Hayden is a regular member of the church and in a position to comment substantively on the issue, having served first as NSA director from 199–2005, then Director of Central Intelligence from 2006 until 2009. Somewhat predictably, the retired general made the case that this summer's leaks about the NSA's had damaged U.S. national security more than any other leak in history.
During the talk, Hayden described the United States as being highly unusual for even having the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, designed to issue rulings on when the government is allowed to target individuals within the U.S. for eavesdropping, in place. "The fact that the courts are involved in intelligence collection makes the United States an anomaly on this Earth," he said. "In most countries, intelligence collection is centered, anchored, and exclusively the business of the political branches of government. Only we Americans in the 1970s decided to put some of our collection under the supervision of the courts."
Critics, however, have called the system "broken," noting the very small number of times the court has issued a rejection for a warrant. The Obama administration has previously defended the low number of rejections as being due to diligent preparation and only approaching the court when the case for issuing a warrant was strong. Recently declassified documents also back the idea of a less suppliant FISA court, but instead one that is in itself often frustrated with the lack of information the government has been willing to provide.
Hayden does see some exceptions as to when an adversarial system might be of value. "When the FISA Court makes a broad decision on the constitutionality of a broad course of action, then having a counter-point might have some value. But going up or down on individual warrants, I don't think so." At present, the court meets in secret and its rulings are automatically classified, making it difficult to discern just how frequently rulings of that sort are issued, even as it becomes clear that they are re-writing the rules for how the government can monitor its citzens.

For at least twenty years, the British Jewish community has been out in front when it comes to interfaith work. As Britain's Muslim population has grown, British Jews assumed that interfaith models that led to huge advances in relations with British Christians, could apply just as well to relations with British Muslims. Indeed building bridges with British Muslims has become the focus of outreach work by British Jews.
Today, our analysis of the ICM survey of British Muslims for Channel 4 and Juniper Television shows that the gradual buildup of understanding and friendship between Britain's Jews and Muslims has been utterly eclipsed by growing antisemitism amongst British Muslims.
On every single count, British Muslims were more likely by far than the general British population to hold deeply antisemitic views. It is clear that many British Muslims reserve a special hatred for British Jews, rating Jews much less favourably than people of other religions or no religion, yet astonishingly British Muslims largely do not recognise antisemitism as a major problem.
It has long been suspected that sections of the British Muslim population harboured hatred towards British Jews. This survey goes some way to identifying pockets of prejudice, but it also shows that the prejudice is horrifyingly widespread.
From the ICM survey data made available by Channel 4 and Juniper Television, we have been able to identify some of the worst pockets of prejudice. Antisemitic British Muslims are more likely to be men, to be older than 35, to be social renters, to be in employment, to have been born outside Britain, to live south of the Midlands in England, or in Scotland, and they are overwhelmingly likely to sympathise with terrorism, violence and extremism.
The data is frustratingly limited in one some respects, and one in particular: it does not delve into the various political and religious movements that comprise the British Muslim population.
This data shows that Jews remain the 'canary in the coal mine', as they have been throughout history: those who harbour hatred of Jews also hate British society and sympathise with our most deadly enemies. Britain must confront rampant antisemitism within its Muslim population, but also amongst the general population, whose shocking views should be no less concerning simply because the views of British Muslims are worse.
The full report is available on our website.

Former Enemies
At one time, you two were enemies or at least rivals. Over time, this has changed and whatever came between you has been resolved. If this relationship is also drawn with the Enemies relationship, one of the two of you still harbors a lot of resentment and anger, but isn't letting the other know. Invariably this means they will try to manipulate situations to work against the person who is in the dark.

Northern Lights, the delightful independent bookstore that was an anchor, for many years, at Canal Park up in Duluth, was the first I'd heard to complain about the problem: Customers browsing the shelves, leafing through books, choosing what they wanted--and then scampering home to order the books, cheaper, online.
"We're really a showroom now for books," said owner Anita Zager last December, as she announced that her store was closing after 17 years.
A year ago, the folks at Amazon might have shrugged, saying that's just capitalism at work. But this weekend, they're taking the gloves off.
In a press release sent out on Tuesday, the folks at Amazon have announced a new free price check app for smart phones which will, they say, ensure that "a deal really is a deal." And tomorrow, they'll give you 5 percent off, up to $5 per item (to a maximum of three items), if you'll use it. They're asking you to download the app, take your phone into a bricks-and-mortar store, scan the price information on something you are interested in buying, and then scamper home and buy it from them.
You'll get the bonus from Amazon on Saturday if you do this, but they're urging you to use the app year-round, even without the bonus, thus "allowing all Amazon customers to get the lowest prices." (And thus, of course, allowing Amazon to collect all kinds of sales data from all over the place, with no effort.)
It is interesting to note that Amazon's offer applies to electronics, toys, music, sporting goods, and DVDs. It does not apply to books.
It is also interesting to note that it is indie bookstores that are fighting this the loudest. It was, of course, through selling books at a high discount that Amazon first launched its empire.
Facebook pages have been launched. Petitions begun. Objections voiced in editorials, on social media. (see #occupyamazon on twitter), on blogs, in statements and even by politicians.
Oren Teicher, CEO of the American Booksellers Association, released a statement, saying that while they were more disappointed than shocked, they see this as "the latest in a series of steps to expand your market at the expense of cities and towns nationwide, stripping them of their unique character and the financial wherewithal to pay for essential needs like schools, fire and police departments, and libraries."
Bookstores, especially independent bookstores, have long objected to the advantages that Amazon has over them, including serving as both distributor and seller, which cuts their costs, and, especially, the fact that Amazon pays (and therefore charges) no sales tax in most states, including Minnesota.
Bookstores have launched a counter-attack: "Occupy Amazon," in which they urge everyone to buy local on Saturday and boycott Amazon, at least for that one day. Some publishers have joined in.
So what'll it be, folks? Pay a little more to keep independent stores around? Or is all about the cheapest possible price? Which way will you be leaning, come Saturday?

Following a head-on car accident in which one driver was seriously injured, the cause was established by police as a leaking diesel return pipe on a recovery vehicle. Examination showed that the pipe had separated radially, and the Forensic Science Service attributed the failure to vandalism. Closer inspection revealed a brittle fracture which showed several growth phases, the first. being initiated by stress corrosion cracking of the nylon connector in the pipe. The junction was immediately below the battery and it is likely that a drop of acid spilled onto it, starting the crack. it then grew at each successive start-up until final breakage. ESEM inspection showed fatigue-like striations and EDAX revealed the presence of sulphur. The injured driver was awarded substantial damages. There are continuing dangers from fuel line failures, both in car fires and creating hazards for other road users.

According to a separation agreement announced on Monday, the Minnesota police officer who was acquitted for killing black motorist Philando Castile, will be receiving a buyout of $48,500 to leave the department he was working for at the time of the killing.
Quite The Sum
The Minneapolis suburb of St Anthony will pay Jeronimo Yanez a lump sum minus all relevant deductions such as taxes. They will also be paying him for 600 hours accrued and unused personal leave pay.
Yanez had shot Castile who was a 32-year-old elementary school cafeteria worker at traffic stop several times, after the deceased told him he was armed. It turned out that Castile had a permit for the gun. Castile's girlfriend, who was in the car with her 4-year-old daughter livestreamed the whole thing, which gained widespread attention.
Latino, 29-year-old Yanez was acquitted on manslaughter charges. The city then announced that the agreement "ends all employment rights" for Yanez and that the "public will be best served" if Yanez is no longer an officer.
Not Convicted
"Since Officer Yanez was not convicted of a crime, as a public employee, he would have appeal and grievance rights if terminated," it said in a statement. "A reasonable voluntary separation agreement brings to a close one part of this horrible tragedy. The City concluded this was the most thoughtful way to move forward and help the community-wide healing process proceed."
Clarence Castile, Philando's uncle said he's glad he's no longer an officer. "He should be in jail," the uncle said. "He's like a fish that wiggled his way off a hook. … Hopefully he won't be able to get a police job in the United States. Because he's a poor example of a police officer."
After the acquittal, Valeria Castile, arrived at a nearly $3 million-dollar settlement with the City for wrongful death.

Every full moon we do a group Ritual with The Forty Servants over in the Facebook Group. If you would like to get involved in this one just head over HERE and join the group. You don't have to own the physical deck to be a member or anything like that. As long as you have an interest in working with the Forty Servants that you are more than welcome.
The 12th, is the full moon here in Ireland, but time-zones will dictate that it could be a different day for you. Check google to make sure. We will give a 3 day period in which you can do your personal ritual so that would mean that you can do it the 11th, 12th and 13th of March – which is this Coming Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
This ritual will be a slightly different for people depending on where in the world they are. THE CARNAL is to be used for people in the Northern hemisphere were it is Spring. THE DEPLETED is to be used by those in the Southern Hemisphere where it is Autumn.
The Spring Ritual is for personal renewal and a return to feeling beautiful, sexy and attractive. The Autumn Ritual is for releasing all the stuff that holds you back so new growth can begin.
- Join the Facebook Group if you aren't already a member.
- Find a quiet place where you can perform the ritual without being disturbed. Switch off phones and anything that beeps for attention.
- Take several big breaths – in through the nose and out through the mouth. Feel you lungs fill first from the bottom, then the middle and then the chest.
- Return to your normal breathing pattern.
- Banish or clear the area as you would normally. I like repeating "Hekas, Hekas Este Bebeloi" ("Afar, Afar, O ye Profane!") while turning in an anti-clockwise direction pushing "stuff" for miles in every direction using the back of my right hand. I also burn incense.
- Get out THE ROAD OPENER card or use the sigil and ask that that any obstacles to the success of this working be removed. Ask for the way ahead to be clear and open. Light a tea light if you desire. Chanting can be good too. "Om gam ganapataye namaha" is a personal favourite.
- Get out THE GATE KEEPER card or just use his sigil and ask that you be connected to the rest of the group performing this ritual, ask that THE GATE KEEPER open the door to the shared sacred space that is to be used.
- Connect to the rest of the group. This can be a visualisation, or just a feel or sense, that you are connected and working together with the rest of us during this 3 day period. Time probably doesn't really exist, so once we set our intention to work together we will sync up even if we all do it at slightly different times. Even if you don't buy that idea, then we are all working within a certain time frame so there is going to be energy overlap.
- Give them thanks and then return THE ROAD OPENER and THE GATE KEEPER to the rest of the deck, and lay them out the entire deck in front of you (if you have room) or just have them in front of you in the box (Facing north is good, but not always possible)
- Pick THE CARNAL or THE DEPLETED Ritual from below depending on your location. Perform the steps outlined and then return to this section.
- Add any personal petitions or desires you have and include any other servants you want to include at this point. You don't have to do this, just of you want to.
- Light candles, incense or give any offerings you want in any style you choose, to the entire deck of Servants.
- Thank the Servants, thank the rest of the group, and either then return your deck to where you normal keep it or place it on the altar or somewhere you feel is auspicious.
- Close in whatever way you normally would – clapping the hands once loudly can be great, or just saying "And it is done" or you can just leave the whole working open until the candle burn out or whatever.
- Take photos or leave some feedback in the Facebook group so the rest of us can get to see/hear how it went for you.
SPRINGTIME VERSION – For Renewal and Feeling Sexy!
- Have THE CARNAL card, altar card or image and sigil before you. Ask for the energy of THE CARNAL to come into your body – Feel as sexy, beautiful and attractive as you can possibly let yourself be.
- Sit with this feeling for as long as possible. Then ask The Carnal to help renew and restore your feelings of self-worth, attractiveness and sexiness!
- Ask for inspiration in the most relevant area of your life. Ask that when inspiration comes, it does so with all the power of the Spring and excitement of new growth and renewal.
- Ask for clarity and guidance on how to maintain this wonderful feelings of self love and appreciation.
- Make an offering of candles, wine and tobacco or whatever you feel is most suitable and acceptable to The Carnal. Be creative 🙂
- Spend time expressing gratitude to The Carnal for her excellent work.
AUTUMN VERSION – For Letting Go and Clearing out
- Have The DEPLETED card, altar card image and Sigil before you. Ask the Depleted to show you the parts of your life that you can let go off, that are holding you back, and that are no longer needed.
- Feel the energy of THE DEPLETED as it enters your body and removes all the etheric junk, emotional baggage and all the dark stuff that you no longer need. Feel this in all your bodies – physical, mental, etheric, emotional, etc.
- Ask for inspiration and guidance of how best to clear your life of unneeded stuff so that you can start to grow again from a betteer foundation. Ask that when inspiration comes, it does so with all the power of the Autumn and the great feeling of letting go and clearing out.
- Ask for the clarity and guidance on how to proceed in your life goals.
- Make an offering of candles, wine and tobacco or whatever you feel is suitable. A good offering here would be to clear out an old drawer or wardrobe or something like that. Be creative 🙂
- Spend time expressing gratitude to The Depleted for his excellent work.
