“As long as you stop dead in your tracks, and show no signs of aggression, they

Snakes are actually the most misunderstood creatures among our human race.. 
They are not as scary as they are made out to be and usually stay out of the 
way of humans or for that matter anything that is larger than them for one 
simple reason – or so I was told by a Catholic priest in India who was an 
Australian missionary and considered himself to be a subject matter expert on 
snakes.. He had a python for a pet named Gwen, which apparently was a baby but 
looked like a full grown python.. Most snakes have a very delicate vertebra 
that can snap even if a small child steps on it. Hence most of them stay away 
from anything that’s bigger than them. – which is practically everything..Most 
of them feed on smaller weaker creatures or attack the bigger ones when they 
are asleep. They ‘attack’ or bite humans and creatures as large as us, only 
when their existence is threatened.. I was also told that it’s a natural 
mechanism that the poisonous variety release venom when they bite when they are 
afraid..

 

Snakes are common in my native land – Goa, a little beach community on the west 
coast of India, which is about a few hundred miles south of Bombay.. We were 
never afraid of snakes and taught to co-exist. I’ve literally seen them crawl 
past me no more than 2 or 3 feet from me.. As long as you stop dead in your 
tracks, and show no signs of aggression, they do not attack. Their attack is 
mainly in self defense.. An exception to the rule may be a hungry python, who 
actually may view humans as a source of protein..

I spent some time in the Pine Barrens for a wetlands class field trip.  The 
area has more deer than humans.  The soil is poor so there is little 
agriculture.  The terrain is fairly flat and the brush is thick.  It would be 
easy for individuals to walk in circles and not know it.  There are a number of 
streams, bogs and wetlands.  It's the kind of place that one would think of it 
being home to a eastern black panther or some other seemingly unearthly 
creature.  It would be easy for one's imagination to come up with wild 
explanations to unusual sights and sounds.

 

We found it to be a beautiful place with rare and endangered plants growing in 
the wet habitats.  A place of beautiful butterflies, song birds, snowy egrets, 
hawks, and owls.  Also throw in the occasional snake.

that town for its natural – almost untouched landscape.. Those little streams

Sinking sand is not as treacherous as it is made out to be. if you can swim in 
water which is a whole lot less denser than sinking sand , you can ‘swim’ on 
sinking sand.. The key here is swim – and not try to walk or run away.. you 
literally lay down and crawl out of it as if you were swimming.. So unless 
there is some deadly creature like an alligator or a crocodile around, there is 
not much to worry about.. I had seen a show once on Discovery channel where 
some expert said it’s the fear and myth around how dangerous sinking sand can 
be, that makes most people panic and become victims of it..

I grew in South Jersey. I can’t vouch for any of these tales, but I can tell 
you there’s over a million acres of pines trees  sand called the “Pine 
Barrens” in NJ.

 

The Pine Barrens are as beautiful, lonely  creepy as it gets. Miles  miles of 
two lane roads with scrubby pine trees on either side. Every so often there’s a 
sandy one lane trail off to one side or the other. Turn off onto one of these 
roads. It just gets lonelier  creepier. You might find a quarry but don’t get 
too close – you could be up to your knees in sand  still sinking before you 
know it. You might see an old wreck of an abandoned car with bullet holes in 
every square

Funny.. :-)

Another popular myth about snakes is about snake charmers. The whole flute and 
a cobra dancing to its tune routine is quite really easily explainable.. Snakes 
are tone deaf and can’t hear sounds in quite the same way like most other 
creatures or humans. They sense sounds through vibrations on a bone in their 
jaws. The kind of vibrations those bones can sense is usually low frequency 
(bass). They cannot distinguish between tones hence they cannot appreciate 
music. Snakes use whatever sounds they can sense as another form of protection 
– they consider bass sounds to be a possible sign of danger.

They can’t hear music from a flute quite the way we can. The reason they seem 
like they dance to it, is they think that they might be attacked by it so they 
just stay prepared in case the flute gets any closer.. They move along with the 
movement of a flute..

If a drummer or a bass guitar could make a snake dance, they may not be as fake 
as a snake charmers :-).. Drums and bass guitars being low frequency 
instruments, might be within the audible range of a snakes hearing perception, 
but even that being said, they are probably too tone deaf to recognize it as 
music.. It would probably just scare them.. I wonder if you could actually use 
drum beats to scare them away..

Lars,
It will change the support group name, not the ID, on many of the ITSM forms and update functional roles for the people in that group. However, it does not update any templates that are using that group. So, if have any change, work order, or Incident templates where use that support group, make sure to change the ownership first to another group or it could corrupt the templates. That has happened to me with infrastructure change templates. Make sure to check the group notification option on the support group after you’ve renamed it. It will set it to no and that group will not get messages when a group notification event fires.

Hello, if I use Data Wizard in ITSM and change the name of a Support Group, will that name be changed in all forms where Support Group exist?

Any issues with this function? I tried it, but I found at least one form where the name not was changed.(Supportgroup Lead).

Form Default Values

2012-03-18 Thread Benz, Michael
Hello

I'm trying to set default values to fields in a form.

But despite my best efforts, the field displays the keyword I'm using, rather 
then the information the keyword represents.

Eg:
I'm setting a day field. And instead of showing Monday, it displays 
DATENAME(wd, DATE($TIMESTAMP$))

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

(I'm using remedy 7.6)

Okey thanks for info, but is the long group name really used somewhere? Will 
there be any consequences if the name not is changed. But...Of course it should 
be changed to avoid confusion.
