Tastes like whatever solvent they used to extract this. Not fresh at all! I am trying to finish the bottle but I'm worried this will have an adverse effect. Next time, I'll stick to good 'ol coconut oil!
Very energizing

Also very hard on the stomach, gives you diharea. Can really help you lose weight. Hard to take from the bottle - I prefer MCT softgels.
Not Happy

My order was broken by ups during shipment. I paid for overnight delivery and for the product and have received nothing. I wrote twice and never heard back anything until now. So I am very unhappy with your service and cannot rate a product that I never had a chance to use. I feel ripped off actually and unhappy with your service.

Stayed at Royal Palm 2/3 - 2/10/13. Our unit was beautiful and had a great view from the living room, one of the bedrooms and the balcony. The unit was nicely furnished and the kitchen had everything we needed. There is a small deli on the property and a market within 1/2 mile. The check in staff was very helpful. This resort is located within walking distance of many restaurants, and has a restaurant on the property as well. They clean the unit every 3rd day and our housekeeping staff did a great job in keeping the unit clean. Our only objection is that people go to the beach and put towels out to reserve their chairs and many of them don't come at all. There are signs posted that you cannot do this but we saw some of local outdoor staff actually putting towels down for some of the guests. If we return to St. Maarten, we would stay here again.

Clean and cozy apartment.
Convenient location close to the center. Lots of restaurants near the market
The apartment is very nice, exactly alike the picts! The only defect of the apartment is the bathroom, the sink is very small, but for the rest it respect our expectation! If you take the bike you can go everywhere in few minutes.
There is also a market below the apt, but it isn't so noisy, and where you can find everything you need, from clothes to food! A really great experience!
The apartment is beautiful. We only had problems with the bathroom. It s realy small, the sink is so small you cant even wash your face. And the shower is not so great. Its great that the apartment is located on the market. You have to walk like 20 minutes to the center though.
You wouldn´t expect such a nice apartment when you stand in front of the house. Maria wasn´t there when we arrived but she organised everything perfectly. She was very helpful and we could stay longer then 11am on the day we left what was really nice. You can hear the bar downstairs when you lay in the bed and also the market when they set up in the morning. If you can sleep with earplugs you´ll be fine. The bars around are really nice, we ate Tapas at the Barca and had breakfast at Mem´s what was really good Muesli. Also the Cafe Binnen Buiten serves nice cheese platters.
In a good location with lots of good pubs and cafes. Also just a short walk from the museums and tram stop, which was great for exploring.
Would however note that it can get quite noisy. The music kept us up in the evening and you can hear the market vendors setting up in the morning. If you're a light sleeper I would bring earplugs. When we were there was also some difficulty with the showerhead, the water didn't come out of it but rather some pipe at the bottom. Otherwise nice and tidy apartment.
Very nice apartment in a trendy and young neighborhood. Great bar in the same street and a nice market on weekdays. Maria Christina is a very friendly host :)
Had a lovely weekend & really enjoyed seeing this part of Amsterdam. The other reviews were helpful...
Fantastic apartment with everything you need for a long weekend. The location is great and there is plenty to do on the doorstep. The center is also walking distance or the trams very frequent and really convenient. We had a brilliant weekend. Thanks!
This is a great apartment in a superb district of Amsterdam. You have everything virtually right on your doorstep and amongst a very friendly and helpful neighbourhood.
Lara was very polite, helpful and took the time to answer any questions I had for her during my stay. I would definitely stay here again.
Well located, just beside a lively daily market and close to a tram station, the apartment is clean (we enjoyed the sweet smell of the laundry !) and comfortable, although it would maybe deserve a better isolation. Several popular bars just down the street. Lara is very friendly and always replied to our many questions. We spent a very nice stay in Amsterdam and we would definitely recommend Lara's house.
P.S. : at the market, for your breakfast, try the fresh orange juice and the delicious poffertjes, these little pancakes full of butter and sugar... Mmmm !
Lara is a great host and the apartment is nice and clean. It is situated in the most trendy area of Amsterdam 'De Pijp' with many nice bars, restaurants and the world famous daily market 'De Albert Cuyp'. A great place to discover the real Amsterdam!

Place Royale is a collection of buildings and narrow streets born in 1608, when explorer Samuel de Champlain established a secure fur trading post. It changed hands between the British and French, surviving fires and battles and eventually became Quebec City's version of "downtown." After a complete restoration, Place Royale is now the city's most picturesque place, sporting restaurants and cafes, as well as many tourist attractions. Be sure to visit the Maison Chevalier, the Notre-Dame-des-Victoires Church and the Interpretive center.

old suitcase
I curb shopped an old Samsonite hard shell suitcase. It's naugahyde I guess. Does anyone know what to clean the sticky label goo off with? It looks like it's been on a few trips and I don't mind the "beat up" look, but I cant seem to remove the glue stuff. alice
Varsol might do it - about $5.00 a gal., I think.
Check among friends whether anyone has some that would give you a quarter-cupful.
Alcohol might do the job.
Or ... gasoline would almost certainly do it.
But - be sure to use it outside, and use only a very little with very little rubbing. Let rag dry throoughly before disposal and do so with care.
Hope you find an inexpensive way to achieve your goal - it's sure to be there. Without using expensive customized products, I'm sure.

Amarygia hybrids have produced tiny bulbs
My Amarygia hybrids (purchased a few years ago from the Univ. Calif. Riverside Arboretum plant sale) have produced about 50 tiny bulbs the size of large pearls. I found one site that says to put them on top of seed starting mix with a lot of pumice in it, and to keep the medium damp. I did this on 11/16 and a number of the bulbs are now producing small green roots (?). Now what???
I've never grown Amarygia but I've grown Hippeastrums... when the seeds begin sprouting, I just keep them very moist and move them into light. They grow in their start medium for a few months; you can really keep them in there indefinitely or until they are very rootbound.
To keep them especially moist I put saran wrap about 2 inches above the soil; the water condenses and keeps the soil surface constantly wet. As far as Amarygia goes, I don't know it's level of drought tolerance or it's tolerance of lots of moisture. But if they already sprouted, I'd just move them into light and make sure the tender plants don't get dry.
I hope this answer is sufficient until you can get a better one from someone with more knowledge.

WS-BPEL 2.0 . BPM & Web 2.0 . SOA . XSLT . JSON
Architect, Microsoft, with the Architecture Strategy Team focusing on BPM and SOA
E.F. Schumacher, a well-known British economist, once wrote: "I cannot predict the wind but I can have my sail ready." With that thought in mind here are ten predictions and hopes to help get your sails ready for 2007:
1. The WS-BPEL 2.0 specification will finally be approved as an OASIS standard. Adoption of WS-BPEL will initially be slow, driven by customer demand. BPEL will evolve beyond a "check box requirement" if people begin using it as a foundation for defining process profiles (conceptually similar to how people use WS-Security today). An updated mapping from BPMN to WS-BPEL will also be published.
2. The convergence of BPM and Web 2.0 begins. BPM is about improving performance by optimizing key processes. Web 2.0 is about capturing the wisdom of crowds (or as O'Reilly puts it, the architecture of participation). The convergence of BPM and Web 2.0 enables collaborative development and tagging of sub-processes, establishing a "process folksonomy" where the best processes can evolve organically. Collaboration can occur over simple but highly scalable pub/sub mechanisms (like Atom or SSE). Lightweight tools will enable users to model or reuse sub-processes using a broad set of metadata. While this is an exciting opportunity, there are several technical and non-technical issues that must be addressed before this convergence becomes a reality.
3. Improvements in SOA management and governance. Tools, frameworks and platforms will emerge that better enable:
- Defining and enforcing service development guidelines
- Modeling, managing and enforcing operational policies (e.g., security, service level agreements and others)
- Service simulations (what-if scenarios, impact analysis, etc.)
- Modeling and managing service dependencies
- Service provisioning and de-provisioning
- Configuration management
4. Workflow isn't confined to the datacenter anymore. Lightweight, extensible frameworks like Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) enable workflow in places where it may not have been previously considered.
5. Better UI Experiences. Declarative user interfaces will enable rich user experiences that can be easily modified or extended with simple mechanisms like XSLT. Familiar business applications like Office provide the user interface to back-end line-of-business systems. The line between AJAX-based UIs and rich desktop UIs will blur, enabling users to enjoy both connected and occasionally-connected experiences. Tools and guidance will make building, testing and deploying these composite UI experiences much easier.
6. A new category of architecture emerges: Software + Services. It is hard these days to find an architectural concept that is not some how tied to services. The line between Web services, SaaS and traditional applications will blur to the point where the location, contract and hosting of a service are less important than the capabilities exposed by the service.
7. JSON without AJAX. We'll start to see more people using JSON to address the XML bloat problem outside of simple AJAX-based applications. The downside is that this may result in more tightly-coupled applications.
8. Events and states instead of EDI-style messaging. Lightweight frameworks will empower developers to starting thinking about solutions in terms of event notifications instead of simple messages passing from point A to point B. Hierarchical state machines enable state synchronization across complex, federated processes.
9. We stop talking about SOA and "just do it." Sometimes we spend more time arguing about IT trends than actually using them. In 2007 the tools and specifications we need for enterprise-strength, loosely-coupled solutions have finally arrived - it's time to roll up our sleeves and get to work.
10. IT finally admits that there is no silver bullet. Every year I hope to see this happen and every year my hopes are crushed by buzzword-of-the-minute hype machines. (Hey I can dream, can't I?)
AJAX Over-use . JSF . Relational Object Mapping . Macs
Editor-in-Chief, Eclipse Developer's Journal
- AJAX will continue to gain momentum as folks continue to have the epiphany that Web 1.0 UI is not good for users. Overuse of the technology will be a real problem. JSF will finally start to become a de facto as well as actual standard due to its ease of integration with AJAX.
- Open Source enablement will continue to be a hot spot for VC investment. I don't think the perfect business model will emerge in '07 though so the market will still remain 'immature.'
- Java Persistence API will bring relational object mapping to the long tail of the market. Early adopters will be wondering what all the hype is because the technology is so old in their eyes.
- Macs will continue their 'thought leader' adoption curve. This is not the year they start to penetrate the corporate IT department.
Web Service Orchestration . Web Services Explosion
Co-Founder & CEO, Parasoft
1. I anticipate a significant demand for Web service orchestration in the upcoming year, especially in the United States.
Many organizations now have at least one Web service, and a growing number already have two or more related Web services. Managing multiple related Web services is considerably more challenging than managing the same number of separate, unrelated Web services. To use these related Web services to achieve your business goals, you need to consider how high-level operations pass through the Web services, then determine how to implement this high-level flow- from start to finish. This can be accomplished in two ways:
- By programmatically coding the application logic required to tie the involved elements together.
- By using an orchestration tool to direct the flow through the involved elements, which remain separate.
I predict that the latter method will be the favorite because it is easier.
2. I also expect an explosion of Web services because they are so easy to expose. Once exposed, Web services basically create interfaces which can be reused. This will significantly reduce the amount of code that needs to written, which will in turn cut the demand for "bare bones" development.
Server Virtualization . Container-Based Hosting . Linux Rails . Django . Agile Development
Senior Software Developer at Acxiom Corp.
The top five technology trends I see happening in the New Year are:
1. Server virtualization is just getting started, and will really make itself known in the coming year. Once we start seeing the quad core CPU architectures as a part of standard infrastructure, it really starts making a lot of sense to start deploying and managing servers and applications as virtual entities rather than specific pieces of hardware. This helps manage the cost and pain of software configuration management, take advantage of being able to process many tasks simultaneously because of hardware support, as well as allows legacy hardware to be retired in favor of applications running on virtual servers.
2. Container-based hosting is the new kid on the block, and will also start making its presence known in the upcoming year. Commonly labeled as "grid" hosting (which is a technical misnomer if you understand distributed computing), it essentially claims to be an infinitely scalable hosting platform. This technology still seems to be half-baked at the moment, but you could have said the same thing about Linux ten years ago.
3. People who normally wouldn't use Linux start to explore it and even replace Windows with it permanently. With Vista, Microsoft seems to be moving to a model in which the Windows operating system is a method to police users with DRM and other nonsense rather than provide developers with a good platform on which to use hardware, which is what operating systems are really supposed to be. A lot more consumers who haven't noticed this happening in the past will stand up and notice this year.
4. Dynamic languages and frameworks will continue to make leaps in popularity and adoption. Given the current squeeze on technology talent in the US, companies are going to have to learn how to do more with fewer resources. Moving to dynamic languages and frameworks as well as other simplification such as varying Agile software development practices will enable this to take place. I think the obvious leading candidates here are Ruby on Rails and Django.
5. The enterprise will embrace ways to simplify develop-ment by continuing to embrace open source software and Agile Development strategies. While there are a lot of cries to the effect of Ruby on Rails replacing Java, I think that's complete nonsense as Java is a language and Ruby on Rails is a framework. Rapid development languages will certainly make some inroads, particularly where heavy tools have been used to build simple applications, Java is still going to be a major part of the service-oriented enterprise for years to come because of the power and tools it provides as well as its industry support.
SaaS . Open Source . Mobile . Enterprise IM Social Networks . China . Virtualization . RFID . Internet Video . Prediction Networks . Intelligent Wikis
The Z Generation CIO & IT Professional
By Bob Zurek
Director of Advanced Technologies with IBM Information Integration Solutions
The Z Generation is typically described as those who are born sometime during the early 2000s and continue to the 2017 time frame. So what will these Generation Z IT Professionals be experienced with. Here's my prediction for the Top Ten characteristics (and this is just the tip of the iceberg):
- Grew up in the world of SaaS and open source and wonders why you would ever license and install software. If you still needed to install software, then it should be available in the form of open source. Expects all internal projects to be developed using the open source model.
- Grew up with a mobile technology and wonders how anyone could run a business without it. Insists everything be available on a highly portable digital device and everyone in the organization have a device. No exceptions.
- Grew up knowing how to leverage the power of social networks for the benefit of the corporation. This includes the ability to build out these networks and use them to help build new products and technologies. Generation Z CIOs will have a huge advantage as they have grown up as participants in many social networks. China will be a big source of these networks. Websites will be built by the Z Generation CIO to invite outsiders in to help build new and innovative products that have yet to be thought of by the enterprises internal employees.
- Grew up using Instant Messaging and will insist that the enterprise use IM as a priority over email and that email will only be used if the communications can't be done using the features of the future enterprise IM platform.
- Will tap into offerings such as TopCoder.com to supplement project teams. There will be a world of competing Topcoder.com like sites where the best coders in the world will be found to solve very complex algorithms and other challenging software projects facing the IT department. China will be a major provider of these teams.
- Grew up with a complete understanding of the value of virtualization and therefore, their datacenter will be virtualized and the IT operating fabric will be grid-based, tapping the power of external grids of CPU.
- RFID Everywhere. The Z Generation will be the ones that take RFID to new heights. Everything that is taggable will be tagged and tracked.
- CIO and Z Generation IT Professionals will leverage the power of Internet video by taking advantage of companies like BrightCove Networks which will bring knowledge workers engaging channels like "The Customer Service Channel", "The Corporate Strategy Channel", "The M&A Channel" and others. I can see companies like Harvard Business Review and others producing content for these channels. Imagine the "The DataCenter Channel." The topics are endless and will be as easy to find as bringing up your favorite search engine. New content will be generated targeted for companies like "The IBM Channel" or the "GE Channel." I would love to see "The Institute of The Future Channel"
- Intelligent Wikis will be the primary source of knowledge in an enterprise and will eventually do what data warehousing did for business intelligence. Furthermore, new internal employee-generated communities will spin up to voluntarily invent new projects during their off-hours to showcase their creativity that is typically not known by the employer.
- CIOs will aggressively adopt Prediction Networks as part of the core business strategy to better help the enterprise gauge where everything from sales to new product development will be successful.
Open Source Java . General Public License v2 . GPL v3
Consequences of Open-Sourcing Java
by Tony Wasserman
Professor of Software Engineering Practice at Carnegie Mellon West and Executive Director of the Center for Open Source Investigation (COSI) The open-sourcing of Java under the GPL 2 license will have a ripple effect on various technical and business issues in 2007:
- First, people will closely study the Java source code and find one or more serious bugs, at least one of which has been there since the earliest days of Java.
- Second, a real-time systems vendor will fork the source code, as permitted by the GPL, and create a variant that is "tuned" for real-time applications. This step will be the focus of a major debate within the Java community.
- Third, the open-sourcing of Java will have a positive impact on the adoption and use of open source software in general.
- Fourth, the use of the GPL 2 for open-sourcing Java will inhibit the completion and acceptance of the GPL 3 proposal.
Open Sun . iPod Uno . IT2 . Microsoft VAPOR
...And in Other 2007 News
by Richard Monson-Haefel
Award-Winning Author & Senior Analyst, Burton Group
1. Jonathan Schwartz open-sources Sun Microsystems.
In a move that will surprise everyone Sun Microsystems will announce that it will open source its entire company. Sales, marketing, finance, and even operations will be open to the community for anyone to contribute.
2. Apple computer announces the iPod Uno.
The size of a match stick with no screen or controls, the iPod Uno plays one song in a constant loop. Despite its limited capabilities, the tiny device becomes an instant hit and a cultural icon.
3. In what is heralded as the seminal article on the subject, Tim Berners-Lee mentions "IT2"
Overnight the term morphs into "IT 2.0," spawning thousands of blog entries and press articles, a dozen books, five conferences, and millions of dollars in venture capital. It turns out that the original article, incomprehensible to most readers, was actually another attempt to explain the Semantic Web and the IT2 reference was just a typo.
4. Microsoft will create the first CMO (Chief Marketing Officer) position.
The new CMO will immediately change his own title to Chief Command & Control of Packaging Officer (C3PO) and then announce that Vista will be delayed and renamed Microsoft Virtualization Application Program Operating system Reloaded (Microsoft VAPOR).
|Emilio Bernabei 01/02/07 12:08:46 PM EST
I think Brandon Harper touched on a very important trend that was not covered enough. What will the "multicore arms race" do to the Java development process? Esp when looking at building data-intensive applications (non-OLTP; non-J2EE).
2007 is the age of Java on multicore and I suggest we all start using frameworks that leverage parallelism, enabling very efficient and fast-running data processing Java apps to be created more easily.
http://www.pervasivedatarush.com is just one example of such a NEW framework for 2007.

Ugh. A couple of other predictions for 2007:
1. Entertainment writers will spend the last week of 2007 wracking their brains for meaningless, top-ten-list, fluff pieces in order to receive their next paychecks.
2. The apparent MS astroturfing campaign will continue on /. unabated.
3. Apologists for the upcoming Vista horrorshow will continue to denounce MS critics as zealots.
4. A new branch of mathematics (VERIZONMATH) will dominate industry calculations, leading to much hijinx, and ultimately, total economic collapse.
5. Richard Stallman will learn to levitate, leading to much hijinx, and ultimately, total economic collapse.
|symbolset 12/31/06 01:08:56 AM EST
Here's my set of predictions.
Lots of folks will make money -- in old realiable and new creative ways. Some of them will go to jail for it eventually. Most will not.
Transcoding video is the killer app for multicore and beyond. The studios aren't coming to market fast enough to deliver the universally playable content that users want, and users are ready to pay thousands for a pc that converts the media they already have.
Linux and OSX will continue to take share from the Borg, slowly. More slowly than they should.
Vista will be revealed to be as buggy and spyware prone as every other MS OS, for the same reason -- it's developed by the same braindamaged marketdroids who brought us all the others. Microsoft is lucky most of us have no other choice.
A great many flackalysts will comment on the invincibility of Vista, Microsoft, IBM, Sun and every other major vendor, and their paid commentary is worth exactly what the company's glossy fliers are -- not even useful as toilet paper.
The winner in the Blu-Ray vs HD-DVD wars will be... Monitor makers. Your powerpoint never looked so lovely as it does in 1080p

At the end of each year, when SYS-CON informally polls its globe-girdling network of software developers, industry executives, commentators, investors, writers, and editors, our question is always the same: where's the industry going next year?
|Jason 12/15/06 07:09:55 AM EST
I have some predictions as to the technologies that may finally make it market.
1 Terabyte Hard Drives
With perpendicular storage tech already in use for 750 GB hard drives, we're only a platter or two away from the terabyte mark. If you want braggin' rights around the watercooler, this is up there.
2 Mainstream Quad Core Processors
Speaking of impressing the coworkers, quad cores are THE new chip to have. While the Q6700 is out from Intel, it's hardly commonplace. This will change as new, more affordable quad cores get released from Intel. I'm also sure that AMD will release their own quads as well. Start saving up for the new build, these will be sweet systems with power to spare (at least for a week or two).
3 Windows Vista (Finally!)
After more delays than anyone can keep track of, a new version of Windows is imminent. "Start me up!" and get ready to download a whole new set of patches and service packs. 2007 will be the year that Vista comes to market. Really.
4 Direct X 10 Graphics Cards
I'm no gamer, but I see magazines and sites all abuzz of the new cards supporting Direct X 10. This will be the new standard, with all the other stuff going out of date. For us nongamers, it might be a good time to pick up a bargain on a Direct X 9 card…
5 Wireless N Gear
After pre-N gear, followed by draft-N, the only thing left is, we...real N. Is this the year we finally get it? Your guess is as good as mine, but don't count on today's stuff being upgradeable. In the meantime, avoid paying top dollar for "draft 2.0" interim products which use manufacturer specific technologies that won't eventually conform to "the standard" leaving us out in the cold, and a specification behind.
6 True Video iPod
We've all seen the images and discussions of what has been dubbed the "true video iPod." The most recent interim update of the iPod has only made us want it even more. I'm not sure if we're getting the True Video iPod this year, but the Zune might just hasten things a wee bit (iPods were on a holiday special on Black Friday which would have been a ridiculous thought a year or two ago).
7 iPhone
This is another long anticipated product that hasn't hit the market - yet. It looks like there is enough demand that a shiny white phone with a scroll wheel just might be ringing with your number soon.
8 Wireless USB
The promise of short wireless connections is quite alluring. For whatever reasons, Bluetooth is limited to cell phones and a few other devices. Anything that will get rid of at least some of the spaghetti of wires under my desk (which often spills onto the desk), with the reliability and speed of USB is welcome. I'm not holding my breath on this one, but it would be very cool, and keep the clumsy among us from tripping so much.
9 Linux Palm
The Palm T/X is over a year old, and there is no replacement as of now for the holidays. The new Palm is rumored to abandon the Palm OS for a custom version of Linux. This is sure to make it even easier to hack the open source OS. I doubt they're going to let the current Palm go beyond two years without a replacement, so look for this in the second half of '07.
|Daniel Lemire 12/15/06 06:43:16 AM EST
We will see something like Google Games.
We will see something like Google Slides/PowerPoint. Google will offer a full office suite on the Web and it will be pretty good for 80% of the office tasks.
Governments will take tougher measures to stop spam and other illegal online behavior. We will see a lot more cybercops around.
Apple will continue to grow and gain mindshare.
Since all machines will be connected all the time on the Web, OS-agnostic Web-based office software will be a big deal by the end of 2007 and it will start to make a dent in Microsoft's monopoly to the point where Microsoft will have to acknowledge it and start reacting, in some way. We will come to see this as the end of an era: the operating system and office software will become secondary.
The Open Document Format will gain some real mindshare, mostly in Europe.
Ontologies, queries by natural language processing, Semantic Web, all these things will fail to make a dent in Google's monopoly.
Blogging will still be popular. Maybe the number of blogs will go down, but the quality of the remaining blogs will be good and the technology will improve. There will be tricks beyond ping/talkback to network the various blogs.
Occidental universities will increasingly focus on continuing education. We will see more and more quality offers to complete ones education with a master degree or certificate taken online. While it has been a secondary, and not so interesting, cash cow so far, it will become a vital issue in many universities as the number of foreign students starts to diminish.
Video blogging will be common: I'll be subscribed to at least two video blogs.
Videoconferencing will be mainstream. My wife, my colleagues will be using it regularly. We will finally have phones with pictures though we will be using our computers to get the desired effect.
Within academia, posting talks on the web using digital video will become common.
The WS-* SOA stack will still go nowhere.
For less than $4000, I will be able to buy a PC or the equivalent, with 10 TB of storage.
Carrying a laptop will be out. People will carry tiny computers, as cell phones are, but laptops are too large to be convenient. With most of our data and applications on the Web, we will stop breaking our backs.
Hotels will start offering nice computers you use to do real work.
