Henry "Hank" Westbrook III, the Smith River entrepreneur whose ambitions turned a family ranch operation into several ventures in international timber operations, dairy, tourism, a fish hatchery, lily bulbs and real estate development, has died at age 83.
"Hank had an idea a minute. He had a business idea for everything," said Teal Westbrook, a granddaughter of the family patriarch.
Westbrook's ventures ideas, often taken on with his brother Robert "Chopper," would lead to timber offices across the region and even in Japan, the first and only privately run fish hatchery in California, one of the last milk delivery services in the state, and a 156-foot luxury yacht dragged up to U.S. Highway 101 to attract tourists to Ship Ashore Resort.
"He was always on the cutting edge; always investigating new ideas and new ways to do things," said John Fraser, who worked with Westbrook on several projects as a Del Norte County supervisor in the 1970s.
"Hank Westbrook was an idea man," said Ernie Perry, who reviewed several of Westbrook's ideas as Del Norte County planner for more than 30 years.
An entrepreneur to his dying day, Westbrook continued to feel most at home at his office in Brookings, which is where he was when his health begin to fail. He was transported to Sutter Coast Hospital, where he died Oct. 10.
Raised a rancher
The Westbrooks were one of the first Euro-American families to settle in Del Norte County in the 1850s, and Hank Westbrook grew up on the family's 160-acre family dairy ranch in Smith River, milking cows, driving tractors, fixing irrigation pipes and mending fences.
In his free time, Westbrook would fish for the large salmon and steelhead known to spawn in the Smith River, introducing a pastime that he would continue to pursue until his death.
Since his father, Henry "Heine" Westbrook, Jr. represented Del Norte County on the board of the district that built the Golden Gate Bridge, Westbrook was among the group that walked across San Francisco's landmark for the very first time.
While attending boarding school at Tamalpais High School in Mill Valley, Westbrook bragged about the monster fish of his home stream and got the nickname "the Smith River Kid" in his senior yearbook.
The town of Smith River was in his blood, and when he went to Oregon State University and studied animal husbandry, graduating in 1952, he always intended to return and work on the family ranch.
At OSU, he met a Portland girl named Beverly Robbins, who would become his wife of 61 years.
"I had never heard of Smith River and when he tried to show it to me on a map and it wasn't there, he said, 'that's just a bad map,'" Beverly said.
After finishing active duty, Westbrook started working the ranch with his brother Chopper, but he soon found out that they could produce more milk than they could sell to the local cooperative creamery, which was started by their father.
To solve this, in 1955 at age 25 he and Chopper started Country Maid Dairy — the last milk delivery service north of the Bay Area and the first of several business ventures the Westbrook brothers would tackle throughout their lives.
A 1955 headline in the Curry Coastal Pilot read: "The best milk news since the first cow landed on the coast."
Farmer to global capitalist
Just as the Westbrook brothers began to make Reservation Ranch and Country Maid Dairy profitable, the town of Smith River was hit with the Christmas Flood of 1964, covering their fields with several feet of water.
The Westbrooks fed the cows by drift boat instead of tractor. All of the fences were wiped out, not to mention the majority of Country Maid's customers in Del Norte and Curry counties. When the water retreated, revealing fields covered in silt, Westbrook began to take notice of all of the timber that had washed onto his property and started salvage logging.
"That's how he jumped — more like cannonballed — into the timber industry," said Beverly.
"Before '64, he was a sleepy little farmer, but for some reason he decided to go global at that point," said his son, Henry "Hal" Westbrook IV. "At that point he wasn't satisfied with being a dairy farmer in Smith River."
Within 10 years, Westbrook's working circle expanded from Smith River to several mills, log yards and wood product facilities in Northern California and Southern Oregon; offices in Alaska and Japan; 80 logging trucks, more than 100 pieces of logging equipment, helicopters, dozers, more than a 1,000 employees — you name it. Westbrook had become a well-known timber baron, a force to be reckoned with.
Dan Brattain, who directed the Westbrooks' timber operations at one point, said that they were contributing 80 percent of the Port Orford cedar in the industry, exporting most of it as whole logs to Japan.
After the Oakland firestorm of 1991, government officials were keen to remove eucalyptus trees, which Brattain said fueled much of the fires, from other places in the Bay Area, and the Westbrooks seized on the opportunity.
They started logging eucalyptus trees, including all those on Angel Island, and shipped the trees to Japan from the Port of Sacramento, Brattain said.
"Here's a guy in Smith River that came up with this concept, made it work and came out with millions of dollars in business," Brattain said. "He was a real visionary; always looking to expand and embrace new ideas and people with new ideas."
'Guts of Hank Westbrook'
Westbrook epitomized the do-it-yourself mentality that flourishes in rural regions like Smith River. With a life-long passion for fishing, the Westbrook brothers were receptive when they were approached about building a fish hatchery on Rowdy Creek, a main tributary in the lower Smith River.
"It was a miracle that it ever got going," Fraser said. "Hatcheries were never put together by local people or organizations — the state always did that."
When Hank Westbrook disagreed with something, like a levy on the Smith River built by the Army Corps of Engineers, he often took matters into his own hands.
"Don Clausen (former Del Norte congressman) called me one morning and said, 'Jesus Christ, John. That goddamn Hank went out and changed the whole direction of the levy,'" former Supervisor Fraser recalled. "He didn't give a damn about the details or the possibilities. He was just a guy that went to do what he thought was normal and proper.
"The guy from the Corps said, 'Well, Mr. Westbrook, we'll get back to you,' but they never did because they realized he had fixed it," Fraser said. "That gives you an idea of the guts of Hank Westbrook."
Passionate outdoorsman
Living on the Smith River, Westbrook's children were often treated with a short fishing trip in the morning, going out to catch a salmon before heading to school, Beverly said.
After joining a friend for a salmon fishing trip on the Kenai River in Alaska, Westbrook was hooked on the large chinook salmon that filled the mountainous stream and soon bought a house on the Kenai that he would use to entertain friends, family, and business associates during the summer.
"He had a piece of paper in his pocket all year long for who was coming to Alaska," said Teal. "It gave him more pleasure to catch see someone else catch a fish then catch one himself."
Westbrook spent four to six weeks on the Kenai every summer for 31 years, including just months ago.
Salmon fishing derbies on the Smith River that serve as fundraisers for Rowdy Creek Fish Hatchery are named after Hank and Chopper Westbrook. For years, the Hank "Raider" Derby attracted ex-Oakland Raider football stars.
The derbies have been hosted at Ship Ashore Resort at the mouth of the Smith River, which the Westbrook brothers had acquired and expanded by building a motel and restaurant. To attract more tourists off the highway, Westbrook decided to drag the 156-foot S.S. Castle Rock yacht up to Highway 101.
"It was their Paul Bunyan," said Steven Westbrook, Chopper's son, who still owns and manages Reservation Ranch and Ship Ashore.
Always the entrepreneur
When logging started to dwindle in the 1980s, Westbrook had less use for the airplane that had been flown by Brattain to inspect and purchase new logging equipment.
Instead of selling the plane, they decided to start an air ambulance business: Cal-Ore Life Flight, which Brattain later bought and continues to operate to this day.
When the Westbrooks saw the lily bulb industry booming in Smith River, it was only a matter of time before they got involved. Until 1976, the Westbrooks were partners in Dahlstrom & Watt Bulb Farms, and Hank Westbrook even attracted the future owner of the operations to Smith River.
"He was very visionary," said Bob Miller, who ran the lily operation for years and whose son co-owns the business today. "He saw the expanding lily business as an opportunity and we were able to capitalize."
In 1993, when Chopper died in a plane crash during what would have been his first fishing trip in Alaska, Westbrook got out of the ranching business, turning it over to his nephews and nieces.
He started to focus more on real estate development. In the 1990s, he built The Beach subdivision near the state line in Smith River and lived there with his wife until his death.
A constant support
Westbrook was known to be opinionated and was quick to tell his friends, family and employees if they were doing something wrong and how to do it better.
But those who knew him well didn't see it as a fault, but a way that he tried to push people to do better.
Westbrook threw many friends and family into "sink or swim" situations, piling on more responsibility than they were comfortable with.
"He was always interested in seeing people like myself thrown into a situation over their head to see if they could make it work, and he always wanted to see people succeed," Brattain said.
"He always challenged us to think about what we're doing before we made a decision," Steven Westbrook said. "He would always make you think about all sides of an issue."
He was a support in a more typical grandfatherly way as well. Even though his grandchildren lived several hours away, granddaughter Teal said that Hank and Beverly would drive to almost every one of her basketball games, from Grants Pass to Ashland to Roseburg.
That unconditional support was not limited to the family either. Since Westbrook passed, several individuals have told stories of when he provided a place to stay and a car to drive for a woman struggling through a divorce. Or he might charter a plane to help a friend visit an ailing family member in a distant hospital.
Westbrook never slowed down, even in his waning days. He washed the windows of the entire house the morning before he died, and he had a hunting trip planned for the following week.
"Retirement would never enter his equation; he went directly from his office to the hospital," Steven Westbrook said.
An obituary in Saturday's edition will include service information.

Hi Eli,
First of all thanks for this awesome plugin. It "healed" one of my site. But there's another site which i couldn't clean after googling for solution and it has been bad for few months.
I have cleaned the WP-Login but still there's a few Potential Threat warning. If it's not too much to ask is it possible for you to take a look at the site? i see you offered some of the user here to check. I would really be grateful.

My personal experience is with clisp-2.33.2. That version (and no later released version) has built SBCL on x86/Linux for me in the past, and I would expect it to be able to build SBCL HEAD on x86/Linux. I don't actually know whether clisp-2.33.2 on PowerPC is able to build SBCL HEAD, but it might be worth trying. However, I still think that sbcl-0.8.15 should be able to build SBCL HEAD, and this is likely to be the easiest solution given your constraint for using released binaries. Have you actually tried this? Cheers, Christophe

Clark's Quiche
Total Time
Prep 30 mins
Cook 40 mins
I found this on the internet yet again, posted by Clark Hamblen. I haven't tried it yet but this is how he describes it. " This recipe is excellent served for breakfast with fruit, or at lunch or dinner with a salad. This recipe makes two 9 inch pies. The reason for this is because if you only make one you will hate yourself the next day when there are no leftovers. Bacon, ham, and spinach and mushrooms are layered with 3 cheeses in this rich delicious egg dish."

- 225 g cheddar cheese, shredded
- 115 g parmesan cheese, grated
- 8 eggs
- 355 ml half-and-half cream
- 1 teaspoon grams dried parsley
- salt and pepper
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble, and set aside.
- Cook spinach according to package instructions. Allow to cool, then squeeze dry.
- Heat olive oil in skillet over medium heat. Saute onions until soft and translucent. Stir in mushrooms, and cook for 2 minutes, or until soft. Stir in ham and cooked bacon. Remove from heat.
- In a large bowl, combine spinach, sour cream, salt and pepper. Divide, and spread into pie crusts. Layer with bacon mixture.
- Mix together Monterey Jack, Cheddar and Parmesan, and sprinkle over pies.
- Whisk together eggs, half-and-half and parsley. Season with salt and pepper, and pour over pies.
- Place pies on baking sheet, and bake on middle shelf in preheated oven for 40 minutes.

I made this for a "breakfast for dinner" themed dinner party and it went over very well!! I used only ham, did not use a crust, used gruyere, sharp cheddar and fresh parmesan cheeses. Everyone loved it - I will definitely make it again. I did not layer as the reciped suggested. I just mixed everything together and it turned out great!
This is really good quiche! For some reason, couldn't get this recipe to convert to metric (probably me), so I popped over to www.Allrecipes.Com and used those measurements. I suggest baking the pie shells for about five minutes before adding the filling. Also, for me, this filled more than 2 deep-dish pie pans (i used three). The extra quiche (you will probably eat the first two pretty quick), freezes pretty well. The bottom of the thawed quiche got a little watery, but it wasn't a major issue. Can be made veggie with no problem, just add whatever veggies you like instead of meat. Also, can use different cheeses, according to taste. I like to use some swiss, in place of the cheddar. A very versatile recipe!
I made these for a baby shower brunch a few years ago and had forgotten to rate it, this recipe is an often used one in my home and DD's also. It is really great, easy and yummy!

Tonight, we return to the ballroom for another night of dancing on Dancing With The Stars. Last week, tennis pro Martina Navratilova was "grand slammed" out of the competition after blanking on her routine on the dance floor. This also meant we had to say farewell to her hottie partner, Tony Dovolani. Thankfully, there is enough William Levy to go around right now. I digress. Let's get back to tonight's show.
The theme of tonight's episode was to tell personal stories through the dances. The styles of dance ranged from Rumba and Samba to Jive and Foxtrot. While some of the stories made us smile, there were stories from Jaleel White and Katherine Jenkins that made us pull out the Kleenex to dab the tears away. If there is one thing I've noticed this season, it's that the competition if fiercer than ever. We are in week three of dancing and already, no one is scoring lower than an 8. That's pretty impressive. Relive all of the evening's dances below and share your comments and thoughts on the stars in the comment section. I love to hear them!
I feel like i just finished watching a season of Dancing With The Stars but yet again, we're back in the ballroom for the fourteenth season of the dance competition. LIke last year, I'm actually excited about this round up of stars and think they all share a certain lot of potential. But, under the pressure of the lights, the audience and the spray tans, will they bring it on the floor and impress the three judges? Let's find out!
The show started with a bang thanks to Maria Menounus and Derek Hough dancing a steamy Cha Cha on the dance floor, only fuelling the rumors that the two are romantically involved. Another surprise performance came from Green Bay Packer Donald Driver who brought the party (and his hips) to the ballroom floor. However, it was Katherine Jenkins and Jaleel White who stole the show, scoring the highest points ever during a season opener.
But the one performance that warmed my heart the most was that of Gladys Knight. Don't get it twisted, this Grammy award winning woman of soul is going to bring it this season on the dance floor. Here ease of movement and love for dancing is so refreshing. I had the hugest smile on my face watching her dance. In my opinion (and a few of the judges), this is the best premiere of DWTS that I've ever seen. So without further ado, check out all of the night's performances (and judges' scores) below.
The cast of Dancing With The Stars Season 14 have just been revealed and it looks like it's going to be another exciting season! A few days ago, Tyrell wrote about a few names that had leaked early. Those names are indeed among the twelve stars that will be dancing this season.
There are a couple blasts from the pasts that you'll be very excited to see. Here's a hint for one of them: "Did I do thaaaat!?" I'm sure you know who I'm talking about. Another surprise is one they have referred to as "The Latin Hottie," and that he is. Seriously, people will be drooling over this guy and will be extremely jealous of his partner, Cheryl Burke.
Check out the cast below and vote on who your favorite cast member this season is!
Find out which stars are in Season 14 of DWTS after the jump…
In conjunction with her long-awaited album "Love?" dropping tomorrow, Jennifer Lopez debuted the music video for "I'm Into You" on The Today Show. It's the follow up to her humongous hit, "On The Floor". Just like it, she's enlisted a rapper to add some hip-hop edge to the track. Even though Lil Wayne provides sick rhymes for the single, he doesn't appear in the music video. Instead, she enlists hunky telenovela star and former Man Crush of mine, William Levy to provide added heat to the hot video. Here's J. Lo explaining why she chose the Cuban sex stick to co-star with her.
"It was funny because over Christmas, I had my whole family at my house, and every day my cousins and my aunts and everybody tuned in to this thing [telenovela] to see this guy … I called my cousins and they were like, 'It's William Levy. You've got to get William Levy!'"
I have to admit, I like the song more after watching the music video. When I first heard the track, I wasn't a super fan and thought she was copying Rihanna's footsteps by releasing an island-sounding track as her second single. But consider me a convert now. La Lopez traveled to the Mayan pyramids of Chichen Itza to film the scenic clip. Melina Matsoukas directed the pop singer who looks absolutely stunning in every shot. It's like Madonna's "Cherish" music video fused with Beyonce's "Deja Vu" set in a Mayan setting. Watch the clip and you'll totally agree with my references.
Happy Monday everyone. Round 2 of my "2010 Man Crush Showdown" is officially in the history books. Despite a last minute surge from his fans, Matt Lanter fell a bit short from winning this semifinal round. With 36% of the votes cast, Colton Haynes won the second round and secures himself a spot in the finals next week. All is not lost for Matt Lanter fans, he's still eligible for a wild card spot depending on how this week's vote totals add up. Haynes joins Scott Herman, who won Round 1, in the finals
Not to be biased, but I love the candidates for the Round 3 voting. I think they're cumulatively the hottest of my weekly crushes from 2010. You have a couple of fitness model beefcakes, two openly gay studly actors, a Telenovela hunk and super sexy Aussie rules jock who loves to show off his perfectly sculpted body. Check out the boys in contention below and see why they won my heart during the months of September til December. Don't forget to cast your votes daily and often.
Voting ends Sunday Dec 26 when The FINAL ROUND begins.
view the hot man crushes from the third part of 2010 after the jump
Editors Note: Although this post was written December of 2010, since Levy is appearing on DWTS Season 14, with thought you'd like to get to know him a bit better 😉
For this week's man crush, I decided to go south of the border and fish in the land of telenovelas. Cuban actor William Levy, is the lucky guy I caught but didn't release. This sexy juicy bass is too good to throw back into the ocean. Born in Havana, Levy and his family migrated to Miami when he was twelve. Eventually they moved to California where he attended USC.
The 30-year-old actor began his career as a male model and was represented by top agency, Next Models. Given his smoking hot body, he was a natural choice to model plenty of underwear and swimsuits. His breakthrough in Mexican soap operas, was in Pasión. He did such a great job, he was later cast him as the lead in Cuidado con el Angel. The show averaged about 45.7 million viewers per evening on Univision. YOWZA, that's quadruple what Glee attracts every week. Other notable telenovelas he's starred in include El Triunfo del Amor and Sortilegio. He starred in Jennifer Lopez's "I'm Into You" music video and is going to be in Season 14 of Dancing With The Stars.
Sorry boys and girls, William has been with his partner Elizabeth Gutierrez since 2003. The two have two children. A son named Christopher and a daughter named Kailey. He is of Jewish ancestry on his maternal grandfather side, but converted to Catholicism in 2009.

Staples Ad Campaign Supports New Strategic Initiative
Wednesday February 13th, 2013 - 11:55AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
A recently launched television advertising campaign from Staples makes the point that, when it comes to products such as office furniture, small appliances and electronics, small businesses don't need magic to succeed. Staples is always available to help, the ads suggest.
The new Staples television campaign launched on February 11. It includes one 30-second and three 15-second broadcast spots developed to highlight the breadth of products and services available through Staples, the retailer stated.
The ads air on high-profile national networks and cable shows including ABC's "Castle," "Grey's Anatomy" and "Modern Family" as well as CBS's "The Good Wife," "The Mentalist," "Two and a Half Men" and "NCIS." McCann Erickson, New York created the campaign.
"Staples ad campaign brings our new strategy to life in a memorable way," said Steve Fund, senior vp/global marketing, Staples. "The campaign highlights our vision of providing every product customers need as well as our unique omnichannel capabilities, which allow customers to shop in store, online, via mobile or a combination."
In September, Staples, Inc. announced it had developed a new strategic plan that included integration of its retail and online elements, increased investment in its web-based businesses and operational reorganization. The initiative would include, Staples stated, leadership changes and initiation of a multi-year cost savings plan. Subsequently, president and COO Michael Miles Jr. resigned from the retailer to join Berkshire Partners LLC,
"Our vision is to establish Staples as the single-source product authority for millions of businesses," Ron Sargent, Staples' chairman and CEO, said in announcing the new strategy. "We are building on the strengths that are the foundation of our success by focusing on five key priorities: accelerate growth in our online businesses, fully integrate retail and online, improve retail store productivity, restructure our international operations and return cash to stakeholders."

Vermont utility seeks renewable energy moratorium
JOHNSON — One of Vermont's largest utilities is calling on the state to impose a moratorium on renewable energy mandates.
The board of Vermont Electric Cooperative approved a resolution Thursday seeking a two-year moratorium and formation of a statewide panel that includes customers to develop a renewable energy transition plan.
About a dozen opponents of wind energy attended the meeting at the co-op's headquarters in Johnson, where the resolution was passed.
Co-op CEO Dave Hallquist said the resolution reflects the sentiment of its members who are concerned about finding a balance between rising electric rates and the adoption of greener energy.
Senators voted against a moratorium in the last legislative session. They say they will continue to press for another vote.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A Bennington woman was hospitalized following an early morning fire.

Gray Matter gets a date with October
Jane Jensen's Gray Matter will finally see the light of day come October, according to Jensen herself.
Speaking with Joystiq at E3, the Gabriel Knight creator said that dtp Entertainment will release the PC and Xbox 360 title sometime during the month of pumpkins and ghoulies.
That's much better than the vague Q4 release we heard back in April.
Hopefully, an exact date will be provided soon.

You are saying "Y must reside in the stack, and you should only load it if it's actually being passed in a register." I believe this is backwards from what you want. Better would be to say: (y :scs (double-reg double-stack)) to tell the compiler that Y can live on the stack or in a register. You can change X and R to :SCS (DOUBLE-REG DOUBLE-STACK) as well, but your :LOAD-IF predicates will have to change too.

It would be nice to support them, but other parts of the compiler would have to be modified to avoid unnecessary boxing.

The latest public appearance in Lindsay Lohan's image rehabilitation tour (2013 edition) took place on Late Night. The 27-year-old actress showed off her comedic skills with Jimmy Fallon during his "Ew" sketch. Lindsay's appearance reminded me how awesome most of her skits on Saturday Night Live were. Hopefully, Lorne Michaels invites her back soon.
One of the highlights on last night's bit included Fallon's female alter ego asking Lilo if she had seen Miley Cyrus' twerking video. "EW," she replies and says that "twerking is so 2-0-1-3" and it's all about scrumping nowadays. What's scrumping you say? Watch the video below and find out.

Patient Comments: Nausea And Vomiting - Experience
Please describe your experience with nausea and vomiting.
Published: June 18
Great article that drew me to your site on vomiting and diarrhea. My son, now 19, has been dealing with "involuntary vomiting and diarrhea" since the age of 11. We've been everywhere (hospitals, specialty clinics) and met with everyone (gp., gastro specialists, heart specialists, psych's). Diagnoses of cyclic vomiting, gastroenteritis, gastritis, GERD, (in addition to numerous others) and also being a psychological issue have all been ruled out. He has learned to deal with "a.m. only" vomiting for the past several years now and the ongoing diarrhea. After 7 years of being picked/poked/prodded he said, "no more." We've only encountered one other person that has this condition with no name or diagnosis attached to it and that person was one of his high school teachers. He did go to Mayo and they were unable to figure out what was wrong with him. He is now in his late 30's and still dealing with it, as we are and will continue to do so

I am a 43 year old female who has both reactive hypoglycemia and GERD. I am nauseated most every minute of every day. I am on metoclopramide, which is okay, but does not take the nausea away. I have to make sure that I eat about 4 times a day, and in small quantities. My mom had gallbladder disease and had hers out, but, I have had a scan for gallbladder and of course, nothing shows up. The reason I had the scan done is because I have waist-high stabbing pains which are excruciating. I am about to lose my mind from being nauseated for so long someone mentioned Meniere's disease also, I do not have any health insurance and the test for it is expensive. Please...anybody...with any information that might help me feel better.

My son is 12 years old. We were out all morning cutting weeds under the fence in the pasture. He complained of being hot and said he had a headache. We went in and he vomited, he took a cool shower and vomited again, he still has a headache and is afraid to eat or drink. I asked him to look into the light and to look straight down, neither of which seem to bother him.
Comment from: Claire , 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: August 11
I have been having nausea and vomiting for a week, off and on, with pain on the left side just under my rib cage. My last blood test showed I wasn't absorbing my vitamins and the ER nurse gave me iron vitamins and magnesium. They also treated me for high blood sugar.
Published: July 28
I have had chronic nausea for 2 years now. Mostly in the a.m., but many times after I eat. I was diagnosed with GERD 8 years ago and I am able to keep the heartburn at bay. I had a hysterectomy 5 weeks ago hoping the female problems were the cause, but it has not changed. I do not have insurance, so I am unable to get the expensive diagnostic test to find a "reason". In the meantime I have not found any relief with over the counter meds.
Published: July 07
I was nauseous yesterday and the day before. I usually take hot baths to sooth the stomach and drink ginger ale.

ensure the version of GWT 1.5 is RC1

Thanks for your help !!
Now am not getting the same error...
But am getting
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError : Java Heap Space
everytime I compile.
13 Aug 2008 3:56 AM #4
add -Xmx512M to the java runtime - it will need more memory than default
14 Aug 2008 3:41 AM #5
Thanks for your reply.
I tried setting JAVA_OPTS to -Xmx512M.
But still its giving the same error.
Do I need to set any other variable?
14 Aug 2008 4:32 AM #6
where you set this depends on how the Java runtime is starting - is this a script or what?
17 Aug 2008 8:05 PM #7
Nope. Its an environment variable.
Where else you want me to set the memory to 512M?
17 Aug 2008 9:36 PM #8
It is not always an environment variable. In any case, my question was how are you running the Java runtime - via a script, command line, part of Eclipse IDE ???
Running out of VM memory is a known and common problem in GWT - the solution is to set the -Xmx512M VM argument to ensure the VM has enough memory.
If this is not working, then I can only suggest you are setting it in the wrong place
Good luck...
18 Aug 2008 1:24 AM #9
Thanks a looooot man..
It finally worked for me...
Thanks again !!

Pro-Trump Super PAC Strategist Ed Rollins Called Trump A Racist, Alleges Trump Confidant Roger Stone
Video ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF

Roger Stone is attacking fellow Donald Trump super PAC strategist Ed Rollins as a "talentless buffoon" who is working for a group that is a "fraud" and "scam." Rollins, who also works as a Fox News contributor, previously attacked Stone as "a little rat" whom nobody in politics trusts.
Rollins is a longtime political consultant who worked for Ronald Reagan, Ross Perot, and Michele Bachmann. He recently signed on as a strategist for Great America PAC, a pro-Trump political action committee that aims to "grow the burgeoning Movement behind Donald Trump and merge the grassroots with the business community."
Stone is a longtime adviser and friend to presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. He speaks frequently with Trump, worked as a paid adviser to his campaign last year, and helped place operative Paul Manafort in a top campaign position. Stone heads the super PAC Committee to Restore America's Greatness and the related 527 group Stop The Steal. Stone has a history of spouting violent, sexist, and racist rhetoric against politicians and media figures, including calling for the killings of Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.
Stone and Rollins have been feuding for years. Rollins told The New Yorker in 2008 that "Roger was a fringe player around town. He always had this reputation of being a guy who exaggerated things, who pretended he did things. Roger was never on Nixon's staff, was never on the White House staff. I don't think you'll find anyone in the business who trusts him. Roger was always a little rat."
Stone appeared on the May 4 edition of The Alex Jones Show and said he needed to alert Trump supporters that Great America PAC is a "scam" and "fraud." He then suggested Jones' followers ignore solicitations from the group.
He reacted on Twitter to Rollins' hiring by calling him "a talentless buffoon" and labeling the PAC "a fraud." He added that "Rollins is an incompetent buffoon who can't find his ass with both hands."

@blakehounshell @DanRiehl @politico @EdRollins is a talentless buffoon and this PAC is a fraud
— Roger Stone (@RogerJStoneJr) May 4, 2016
Stone has accused Rollins of hating Trump and trying to ingratiate himself into his campaign. He tweeted in February, "@FoxNews wrong! @EdRollins is a life-time @realDonaldTrump hater who still doesn't know his ass from his elbow" and "pathetic clown @EdRollins re-cycled my op-Ed today in fruitless bid to get on @realDonaldTrump Payroll #talentless #hack."
Stone has also tweeted that Rollins should be dead, Fox News head Roger Ailes may have "lost his mind" by hiring Rollins, "anyone dumb enough to hire Ed Rollins is too dumb to be President," and Rollins "is the biggest asshole in American Politics."

Fox News hosts and guests spun protests against GOP front-runner Donald Trump at recent campaign events in California as beneficial to Trump as a candidate.
Right-wing media personalities pushed Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) to withdraw from the presidential race following an "embarrassingly" poor performance in the March 8 GOP primaries and caucuses.

A growing consensus of nuclear and national security experts are endorsing the Obama administration's nuclear deal with Iran, calling it "a net-plus for international nuclear nonproliferation efforts" and demolishing conservative media's sustained attacks on the deal.
Fox figures are calling for an end to President Obama's landmark nuclear deal with Iran that relieves economic sanctions on the country in exchange for dismantling their nuclear program, likening it to "a deal with the devil." Such attacks overlook the fact that if the deal falls through, support for international sanctions would likely also collapse, possibly allowing Iran to develop a nuclear weapon. But, if the deal is approved, and Iran eventually violates the agreement, U.S. and international sanctions would "snapback" into effect automatically.
Fox News is continuing to baselessly claim that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's proposal to eliminate the ability of the GOP minority to filibuster executive branch nominations is unwarranted.
On the July 12 edition of America Live, Fox News guest host Alisyn Camerota brought on Fox contributors Joe Trippi and Ed Rollins to discuss Reid's announcement that his caucus will enact limited filibuster reform, perhaps as early as next week.
The proposal currently being floated would change Senate rules so a president's picks to fill leadership positions in his cabinet and the executive branch automatically receive up-or-down votes, as opposed to being held hostage to GOP filibusters. Although this proposal wouldn't affect the unjustified filibusters of judicial nominations, this limited reform would finally allow simple majority votes on the nominees for labor secretary, Environmental Protection Agency administrator, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau director, and the bipartisan slate for the National Labor Relations Board.
Camerota and her guests, however, adopted Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's argument that because many of President Obama's nominees were eventually confirmed, not only is there no problem, but disallowing subsequent filibusters on these cabinet and agency selections will result in the death of the institution.

Fox has repeatedly attacked Democrats for a party platform that does not specifically use the word "God." By contrast, Fox figures downplayed the importance of the GOP platform last week, saying that Romney "doesn't write the platforms" and "doesn't have to abide" by them.

Right-wing media are acting as de facto political advisers for Mitt Romney's presidential campaign, offering the candidate an array of advice that includes replacing his staffers, finding "his inner pit bull," and talking more about his faith.
Fox News personalities have repeatedly attacked the Buffett Rule, which would require the rich to pay their fair share in taxes. At the same time, Fox News personalities have pushed for tax increases on the poor, arguing that they should have more "skin in the game."

You're already pleased with your choice, but you still haven't seen the best bit about this B&B on the island of Capri: the sunset , from which B&B Il Tramonto takes its name.
Island fruits
Book a room in this bed & breakfast in Anacapri, and get ready to enjoy a relaxing holiday, exploring what is, for many, the most authentic and exclusive part of Capri.
Lemon, Orange, Pomegranate, Cherry: B&B Tramonto's bedrooms, each of which has its own private terrace, have been named after the delicious fruits which grow in abundance on this much-loved Italian island.
If you relish the authentic home-from-home feel of a traditional, family-run B&B, but enjoy life's little luxuries too, book "Lemon" - the room with hydromassage bathtub!
A sight to remember
Far from the frenzy of downtown Capri, in Anacapri the days pass blissfully slowly, between a stroll to the beautiful Migliera viewing point and a trip to the sunny beaches next to the lighthouse and the Blue Grotto.
Wherever you choose to spend the day, make sure you get back to the B&B and Tramonto's panoramic terrace in time to see the spectacular view of the sun setting over the sea!

Coté 2 sur 5 par snowswede Lovely idea I just love the look of these, but they sure are heavy. Big, too. Heavier, I think, than they would be if the spoons were silver-plated, like traditional silverware. That heaviness, coupled with some awkwardness in sliding the spoons around on the (very cute) kilt pin, makes them difficult to use. They feel cumbersome in the hand. I suppose you could take them off the kilt pin when you need them, but I know I'd lose them in my kitchen drawers that way. Too bad, such a lovely idea. 27 octobre 2009

They are easy to use and actually make measuring ingredients more fun for me. Each one is different and I love that. The size of each spoon is printed well and easy to read.

Great letter and on the money.
And I hope that the GOP finds its way. We need a strong, 2-party system.
But some of the candidates that the T-party pushes are unelectable and unacceptable in general elections.
Maybe more importantly - GOP candidates (Romney is a perfect example) have to pander to the far right to win the nomination.
After all that pandering, the moderates and independents are scared off.

Richard Nixon started the EPA, OSHA, and the NOAA. He proposed a national
healthcare plan somewhat similar to Obama's except that it required
employers to pick up almost all of the costs. He proposed a national guaranteed
minimum income plan that was probably the most socialistic proposal any American
president has ever put forward. He began the first federal affirmative action
In short, Richard Nixon was definitely to the left of President Obama. That gives you an idea of how far right the Republican party has gone.

To those who have forgotten the purpose of the Federal Government, any
politician who does not promise a new car in every garage and a steak for every
dinner is "extreme".
The Federal Government has few duties. It was never authorized to "give" us Social Security or Medicare or Obamacare. It was never authorized to "give" us any item of personal welfare; yet, the liberals have built their entire program on "freebies" and unauthorized spending.
The Federal Government has a very simple job. It is there to protect the States from enemies, both foreign and domestic, and to make it possible for the States to work together in harmony. Most other duties are left to the States or to the people.
When a government over-reaches, those in power will call anyone who impedes their expansion "extremists".
It's easy to see who the "extremists" really are - they are those who mock the Constitution by stating that they have the power to do whatever they want. Our government has followed the path of many churches whose "priests" have abandoned doctrine while chasing "donations". Obama will "give" us anything as he gives the bill to the "rich guy".

This letter is right on the mark. A large element of the Republican party has has gone as far to the right as the 1960's hippies were to the left! This is why despite the bad economy the Republicans had such an anemic showing in the last national election. But don't despair, the GOP will get tired of losing and will eventually pull back to the political center, and the tea party, black helicopter, crowd will return to their former marginalized status.

"any politician who does not promise a new car in every garage and a steak

Not even close Mr Richards.
Example - The EPA and the FDA are good organizations that provide a service? Can we cite examples where they overstep their bounds? Of course.
Reasonable thought - Lets step in a fix what is not working in those organizations.
Extreme thought - Shut them all down.
Reasonable thought - Work to make abortion legal, safe and rare.
Extreme thought - Criminalize all abortions and give "personhood" rights to the unborn.
Reasonable thought - reduce entitlements, cut defense and bring taxes up
Extreme thought - deeper entitlement cuts, increase military spending and cut taxes for the rich
Now, I am not saying that the dems are always reasonable, but the extreme right takes the cake.

Mike, when you say, "It's easy to see who the "extremists"
really are - they are those who mock the Constitution by stating that they have
the power to do whatever they want."
Were you referring to President Cheney who pushed for more expansion of Presidential powers than any other person in any party? Or the Cheney who commented (more than once) that the Constitution is "just a piece of paper"?
There was an excellent Frontline special on this recently. You can probably find it on the PBS website.
(Ooops. Forgot. The PBS website is regarded by many as a "liberal" site. I guess it is, when compared with FOX and hate radio. But whatever PBS is, it's truthful.)

I have a flock of far right relatives and they all prance around now saying "I'm liberitarian" then go off on their favorite anti.. program. For some it's regulations, for some it's taxes, others it's gun control, and some just plain old hate Obama. In the end the whole libertarian thing is simply cover for I'm mad about taxes but don't give a darn about immigration, or whatever their pet peeve is. The sad thing is they really are starting to think they are islands unto themselves. In the end libertarianism is just plain selfishness, or at least it's a marriage made in heaven.

Soooo they're both equally crazy?
So where were the demands to see Romney's birth certificate? Does he have a deep seated hatred for minorities and retired folks? Do we have any recordings from Romney's bishop to make sure that he wasn't speaking ill of America or our government? Lets analyze Romney's school records, shall we?
Face it, the right has gone off the deep end. Rather than focus on fixing their own party, they have focused on tearing down others.

Speaking of Barry Goldwater, he once famously said: "I would remind you that
extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice!" Well, it may not be a
vice, but it surely makes it tougher to be elected as a leader of all the
people, as he found out in his losing bid for the presidency, and as Mitt Romney
recently re-discovered.
Of course, extremism is largely in the eye of the beholder. Hardly anyone thinks of himself or herself as extreme. Why, even Mike Richards probably thinks he is anything but extreme, as he labels liberals as the true extremists. Yet most of the posters here think Mr. Richards is the extreme one.
Maybe we should all swallow a humble pill, acknowledge that people of good will can have differing viewpoints, and stop applying small-minded pejorative labels to those with whom we disagree. Wow, I can't believe I just said that! I must be drifting toward rational discourse! Help!

There are many Republicans who think Romney lost the election because he was too
Their takeaway from the election is a) we need to appeal to more brown voters by passing immigration reform and/or b) our messaging was lousy.
As long as Republicans get their news from right-winged hate radio nothing will change.
Its going to be a long and painful process to return to sanity.

An "uncompromising obstructionist attitude by Republicans against any and
all outside initiatives" is the only attitude that will keep us from
becoming a completely socialist country. What good is any party that just goes
along to get along? That most assuredly leads to a government run a muck and the
American people left with no freedoms and no power.
Obviously Mr. McDonald is not willing to education himself on the many, many "suitable alternatives" offered by our House Republicans that are ignored, or worse, buried by Harry Reid and are never allowed even a discussion in the Senate.
So correctly, the meaning of "obstructionist" is in the "eye of the beholder". This beholder sees only Democratic obstructionists who will not produce a budget, discuss suitable alternatives (if presented by Republicans), will not listen to the wishes of the people (Obamacare shoved down our throats), and basically accomplish nothing because of their inability to compromise. They all have the "my way or the highway" attitude - from our want-a-be king down through the ranks of all democrats.
P.S. Why do mostly liberal zealots respond to these extremist letters? Come on conservatives - where are you? Fight for your freedoms!

And Harry Reid, Pelosi, and Obama have passed exactly how many budgets in the past 4 years? Like, NONE!. And you blame Republicans for this? Seems like the House, lead by Republicans has passed budget after budget and passed them on to the Senate, only to be buried by Reid. I don't think conservative Republicans are the problem. The Democrats only want conpromise when it benefits them politically. In other words, "our way or the highway". Same thing that Andrew, our letter writer, is accusing the Republicans of.

"Seems like the House, lead by Republicans has passed budget after budget

Well, lets take a bit of a deeper look.
The house is controlled by the GOP. And they have the numbers to pass anything they want with ZERO Democratic votes.
That is why the house has been able to pass a budget. I can also assure you that EVERY GOP member who voted on the budget KNEW up front that it could not and would not pass the senate.
Now, lets look at the Senate.
It is controlled by the Dems, but not with a fillibuster proof majority. They cannot pass anything without some GOP votes.
This is why the House can pass a budget and the senate can not.
And now you know the rest of the story......

One Old Man,
How many bills passed by Congress did Vice-President Cheney sign?
Joe Blow,
Article 1, Section 1, "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives." The EPA and the FDA are not authorized to do anything without Congress voting on each and every "law" recommended by those non-Congressional bodies.
Excusing their activities because you believe that they benefit society misses the whole concept of having a government directed by a Constitution and having a Constitution that is the Supreme Law of the Land.
We're seeing what happens when a President thumbs his nose at the Constitution. He pretends that he has the power to direct Congress and he pretends that he has the right to use a State of the Union speech to harass the Supreme Court.
You may think that obeying the Supreme Law of the Land is "extreme". Many people who think that the Constitution is "outdated" and that law only applies to the other guy also regards the "other guy" as being extreme.
