Transferring to 0% balances is a good short term solution to help you make progress on your balances. However it seems that you need a game plan. Here is how i would (and did when I was in a somewhat similar situation): 1. Is your debt going up or down? 2. If your debt is going down, is this only because you haven't had any big medical expenses lately?  If the debt is either not going down, OR if it is going down because you haven't had big expenses but is bound to balloon again when that happens, you need either extra income or you need to cut costs. There is just no other way. I know cutting costs seems painful and it sounds like starting a side gig is not really an option for you (with your kids and parent and all sucking time) but if you get into debt you will have to cut costs even more down the road.  Now if you are having about the frequency of expenses you expect to be normal and your debt is still going down, then you should be in good shape. Just keep paying your cards down as fast as you can and stop putting charges on the non-0% ones. Then if and when they are all paid down, start putting money away in a dedicated savings account every month. If you know you are gonna have medical expenses, then plan for it even when you don't have them.  Good luck! Rooting for you!

  • Hiding the Optimizer button from the DS planning board

    Hi
    How to hide the optimizer button from the DS planning board ..
    Thanks

    Hi Chak
    I think the problem may be with a livecache inconsistency. The Planning Board should be reading it's information from the livecache, whereby the Product View may be getting it's situation from the database. Try running the livecache consistency checks if it occurs again.

  • Installing Lightroom 5 for first time. Chose standard previews of the 100,000+ photos on removable hard drive. Lightroom stopped creating previews after the first 10,000 or so pictures. Don't see how to start it moving forward again. Thanks!

    I think I did everything correctly. Moved pictures to the external drive as per Microsoft's instructions for Windows 8. All worked fine. Everything else in Lightroom seems to work fine. However, it just stopped creating standard size previews.

    Glad you had success. You can check to see how many preview files have been built by checking the Lightroom 5 Catalog Previews.lrdata folder with File Explorer:
    /Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom/Lightroom 5 Catalog Previews.lrdata
    Right-click on the folder and select 'Properties.' Next to 'Contains' will be the file count representing the number of built previews. It should be the same as the number of pictures (100,000) or slightly more.
    Creating previews for 100,000 image files will take a long time! My Windows 7 i7-860 processor system with 21 mp Canon 5D MKII raw files takes about 3 seconds to build one standard preview. Using this number for 100,000 previews:
    100,000 x 3 seconds = 300,000 sec. = 5,000 min. = 83 hours = 3.5 days!

  • Display 100,000 rows in Table View

    Hi,
    I am in receipt of a strange requirement from a customer, who wants a report which returns about 100,000 rows which is based on a Direct Database Request.
    I understand that OBIEE is not an extraction tool, and that any report which has more than 100-200 rows is not very useful. However, the customer is insistent that such a report be generated.
    The report returns about 97,000 rows and has about 12 columns and is displayed as a Table View.
    To try and generate the report, i have set the ResultRowLimit in the instanceconfig.xml file to 150,000 and restarted the services. I have also set the query limits in the RPD to 150,000, so this is not the issue as well.
    When running the report, the session log shows the record count as 97,452 showing that all the records are available in the BI Server.
    However, when i click on the display all the rows button at the end of the report, the browser hangs after about 10 minutes with nothing being displayed.
    I have gone through similar posts, but there was nothing conclusive mentioned in them. Any input to fix the above issue will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ab

    Hi Saichand,
    The client wants the data to be downloaded in CSV, so the row limit in the Excel template, that OBIEE uses is not an issue.
    The 100,000 rows that are retrieved is after using a Dashboard Prompt with 3 parameters.
    The large number of rows is because these are month end reports, which is more like extraction.
    The customer wants to implement this even though OBIEE does not work well with large number of rows, as there are only a couple of reports like this and it would be an expensive proposition to use a different reporting system for only 3-4 reports.
    Hence, i am on the lookout for a way to implement this in OBIEE.
    The other option is to directly download the report into CSV, without having to load all the records onto the browser first. To do the same, i read a couple of blog entries, but the steps mentioned were not clear. So any help on this front will also be great
    Thanks,
    Ab

  • 100,000 images?

    Last fall, I was shooting beside a friend who teaches Aperture at various shows and events. He mentioned rumors of LR having problems with the database files once the catalog reaches 100,000  images. At the time, I probably only had 75,000 images in my main catalog, but I am now just over the number. I upgraded to 3.0 just in case the story was true, and hoping Adobe would have fixed the problem if there ever was one. So, was he spreading a bad rumor? Was there really a problem? And if there was a problem in 2.x, is it now resolved in 3.x?
    Are there people here with well over 100,000 images in their catalogs?
    Thanks in advance,
    M. Jackson

    John,
    Thanks for the response. Sounds like the 100,000 barrier might just be a rumor if people have 275,000 in LR2. After I heard it, I kept watching for posts with similar concerns and haven't seen it. The guy who told me is an active wildlife photographer and is around lots of people with plenty of experience using LR. He went on to say Apple had a different way of maintaining the database than Adobe, making it more reliable. I put more faith in the comment than some comments I might hear in the field.
    Back when I was building my first catalogs, people here said they knew of people with 90,000 images in their catalogs and going strong. That gave me the courage to continue with just one main catalog. At something like 101,000, I started to hear the echo of that warning.
    Take care,
    M. Jackson

  • Is there any way to do a mass copy and paste of song titles from the "name" column to the "sort name" column? I know it can be done with individual titles but I have over 6,000 titles in my library.

    In iTunes, is there any way to do a mass copy and paste of song titles from the "name" column to the "sort name" column? I know it can be done with individual titles but I have over 6,000 titles in my library.

    Thank you. I have heard of Logic Pro 7, but I have never personally used it. I'm still growing in the world of Composition, and I know that it is something I will be studying in one of my Computer Music classes coming up for my degree. I think it is something I will look into getting once I can justify the price of it. I guess for the time being, I will continue to play and grow in my ability to use and take advantage of GB, and then see what I can do about or with Logic Pro when I'm ready. The thought of spending $1000 for a program is hard to bite, because I've already spent a lot to produce my music, not only electronic music, but also chamber music and so on. I had no idea it would be so expensive to dive deep into the world of composition! lol.
    Finale 2007: $500
    Sibelius 4: $500
    Jam Packs: $400
    Midi Keyboard Interface: $100
    PowerBook: $1700
    Printer for printing scores and analysis: $150
    Logic Pro 7: Oy!
    As you can see it adds up very quickly...that doesn't even include my personal instruments and study materials.
    Thank you for your input, as I haven't really worked much with LP, and therefore didn't know which features are available. I will talk with some of my Composition buddies, and professors and see what they have to say as well, and who knows, I may be able to get the express version through one of them.

  • How to append a new entry in a list of 100,000 names without iterating the list each time?

    I have a list of 100,000 + names and I need to append to that list another 100,000 names. Each name must be unique. Currently I iterate through the entire list to be sure the name does not exist. As you can imagine this is very slow. I am new to Java and I am maintaining a 15+ year old product. Is there a better way to check for an existing name?

    We are using a Java list because that is how the original developers coded it. I don't think they planned for that many entry's. I know I need to re factor this which is why I am asking for opinions on how to  make this more efficient. Currently we don't use a database for anything in the product so I would like to stay away from that if possible.
    Ok - but it still raises the question in my mind as to how that data is being used.
    I gave you a couple of options that will take care of the UNIQUE requirement (HashTable, HashMap) but the BEST solution depends on:
    1. How often new entries are made
    2. How often entries are deleted
    3. How often entries are changed
    4. How often entries are accessed
    5. How the data is actually used
    If you just have a one time requirement to merge the two lists then just do it and get it over with - it won't really matter how you do it.
    But Hash classes will present their own performance issues if the typical access is for many, most or all of that 200k+ entries.
    Without knowing the full set of requirements we can't really know just what part of the process needs to be optimized.

  • Sample rate change from 44.100 to 48.000

    Hi Guys,
    I am preparing a sound design file for a film project. the audio files are originally in 44.100. Now, I am preparing the surround mix for the DVD release. For DVD I would need a sample rate of 48.000khz. However, when I change the sample rate from 44.100 to 48.000 in the Project settings, all my audio files seem to be shortened in the arrange and everything sounds as if it was sped up. How can I change the rate to 48000 without the audio files changing?
    thanks

    Man you have to convert the files to 48khz otherwise they will of course sound mickey moused and distorted when played in a 48khz project. You can easily do that in the Bin, batch process all your files and convert them to 48 using the "copy and convert" funtion from the menue. Compressor does the job also...

  • What happened to the zoom bar that lets me increase the size from, say, 100% to 125%? I just installed Firefox, and I no longer find that feature.

    A week or so ago I thoughtlessly installed Explorer 10 (Chrome 10?) and immediately began having problems with my google email page and one program I use through email. I got a message that I could not download Explorer 9 to reinstall it, because there "is a newer version on the machine." And I can't find a way to uninstall a browser.
    So, I downloaded Firefox and set it as my default browser.
    The problem with the email page cleared up instantly; the problem with the program that goes through email got worse (and it still runs fine on a second machine in my house.)
    AND---I can't find the zoom button to let me increase the appearance from, say, 100% to 125%, which I very much like to do.

    I believe you just reverse pinch screen

  • TS3276 I need feedback for the following issue. When I send email from this 27 inch iMac, the computer adds a string of characters in vertical column that represents the QWERTY key board, all alpha numeric characters are included. Yahoo mail, issue only o

    Restating my issue / question...
    When I send email from this iMac, there is a string of characters assigned. The characters are all the "alpha numeric" characters on the QWERTY key board. This only occurs when email is sent from this iMac. The issue does not manifest when using any other lap top or computer.
    Hence, I have ruled out the issue is a yahoo mail matter.
    Again, I can access the Yahoo mail account form multiple devices and send email without unintended assignment of character strings, but when I send wmail using this iMac, the issue happens everytime.
    Characters are stacked verticaly in a column. It looks as if all characters (except function keys) are included in the string.
    Any ideas?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    { sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; } | open -f -a TextEdit 
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Step 4
    ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit  
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.
