It was so great working at Sun. I worked on so many areas and learnt so many things

Starting from JDBC driver development

Transactions, design and performance

Admin infrastructure - Synchronization, Load Balancer administration, Web Services Management, Monitoring etc.

Update Center backend and APIs to name a few.

I am sad to leave Sun, but change can be a good thing.

My email address is email@example.com (spelt backwards to avoid spam). Wish me luck!

 https://blogs.oracle.com/sv96363/entry/change_a_glassfish_domain_to Change a GlassFish domain to be cluster aware domain sv96363 2006-10-30T11:53:11+00:00 2006-10-30T19:53:11+00:00 GlassFish V2 supports Clustering including Load balancing, scalability and Failover. If you built GlassFish V2 and setup the domain using configur-runtime maven goal, it creates a PE style domain. Even if you run configure-cluster goal after that newer domains are always going to be PE style domains. Work around for this is to remove ${glassfish.home}/bin directory and re-do maven configure-cluster. This will make sure you have the correct cluster aware EE (Enterprise Edition) domains. https://blogs.oracle.com/sv96363/entry/feature_rich_netbeans_update_center Feature rich NetBeans Update Center sv96363 2006-10-19T11:24:35+00:00 2006-10-19T18:58:20+00:00 I tried NetBeans Update Center a while back, however I did not blog about its features till now. The Update Center project for GlassFish will borrow code from NetBeans Update Center and add Desktop integration of Update Center, so that new modules and updates can be notified to the user.
 The first screen of NetBeans Update Center Wizard looks like the following:

 NetBeans shows all the Update Centers (for example NetBeans Update Center, Third Party Update Center etc), so that the users can pick only the Update Centers of their choice. If user already has an update (NBM file), user can install this update/module at this point. User can set proxy server information by clicking on "Proxy Configuration" button. I liked the fact that the default is to use the system proxy settings.

 I click on "Next" button to select the modules and updates for the Update Centers. All the updates and new modules show with different icons. NetBeans does not all the existing modules here. I guess NetBeans has a ModuleManager to look at the current modules and their installed versions. User can also uninstall from the ModuleManager menu. It would be nice if NetBeans provides a link to ModuleManager from Update Center. I can click on the update to see the available version and the installed version. I can choose these using "Add", "Add All" button to be installed.

 I selected CVS client and CVS Version System. NetBeans quickly downloads these components.

 At any points these download process can be stopped. However it can not be resumed. It would be nice enhancement for large updates/modules in the order of few Mega bytes or more. If the internet connection is dropped, user does not have to start from the beginning. GlassFish Update Center is planning to use Sun Download Manager so that we provide this functionality. NetBeans NBM modules come with the certificate of the module developer. User can check the certificate for validity and trustworthiness of the module/update and make a decision to get this or not. A screenshot of the certification verification looks like the following:

 To summarize I liked all the NetBeans Update Center features. Smart download, Desktop Integration (notify in case of updates or new modules) will further enhance user experience. Better integration between Module Manager and Update Center would also be a major plus. It would be nice, if user could also rollback an update easily. https://blogs.oracle.com/sv96363/entry/do_you_like_automatic_updates Do you like Automatic Updates feature in Windows? sv96363 2006-10-18T08:33:11+00:00 2006-10-18T15:33:11+00:00 I looked at Windows Automatic Updates feature to see how we can come up a nice design for Update Center in GlassFish. Like other products (Apple's and Google's Updaters) windows also shows the latest available updates with all the details. A sample updates windows looks like the following:

 Microsoft identifies each update with an ID like KB918899 etc along with giving a long description about the update and the link to get more information. I am assuming the ID KB918899 is the knowledgebase article number rather than update ID. Lot of updates have variable sizes. For example KB918899 is mentioned as 1.5 MB - 4.4 MB. I rather want to see the exact size/maximum size of the update or atleast more explanation. I rather also want to see the updates be classified into categories - like Security Updates, Funcationality Updates (bugs) etc. I clicked on the "Change automatic updates settings" to look at the preferences menu. A sample preferences looks like the following:

 I liked preferences menu better than Google's Updater for the following reason. Rather than showing 3 preferences ( Auto Download and Install, Notify and OFF) Microsoft has 4 preferences (Auto Down and Install, Auto Download and Notify, Just Notify and OFF). Google gives an option to user, so he can either allow or disallow collection of statistics. Microsoft does not give this option to user. It collects these statistics anyway. However Microsoft clearly states what kind of statistics it is collecting and why? I never saw such details from Google. Here is Microsoft's statistics collection policy:

 Microsoft does not attempt show the installed software updates in the Automatic Updates menu. In GlassFish we also want to give similar 4 option preference menu to the users. If any comments or ideas on this subject please email to email@example.com. Thanks for reading. https://blogs.oracle.com/sv96363/entry/learning_from_software_update_feature Learning from Software Update feature on Mac sv96363 2006-10-06T15:23:18+00:00 2006-10-06T22:23:18+00:00 Some of GlassFish engineers including me working on providing the auto update (update center) feature on GlassFish. That way users can get blue prints, frameworks, sample applications, additional modules or add on products as they are available on GlassFish, rather than downloading new builds and installing the whole new build. So I thought I would look at he Software Update feature on Mac. I started from "System Preferences" icon/menu. If you are not very familiar with Mac, "System Preferences" is equivalent to "Control Panel" in windows. System Preferences has 4 categories - Personal, Hardware, Internet & Network and System. "Software Update" is available in the System section. Once I clicked on "Software Update", the screen looks like the following:

 This main screen shows the time when last software update was successfully. You can also select how often to check for updates. The default seems to be weekly. I clicked on the installed updates. It shows the following screen:

 It shows the installed components, the date & time of the install and versions. Nice thing is it allows open this information a log file. This feature will be useful, if you want to share what types of updates are installed on your computer. I go back to Update Software tab, click on "Check Now" button. After a brief delay of showing the following screen

 It comes back the list of the updates. It auto selects the recommended updates. For example in the following screen 4 out of 6 are selected. This screen also provides a brief description about the update. For example you can also look other 2 updates (which are currently unselected) and decide if you want to install them too. Airpot feature seems to fix connectivity and security issues. I chose this update, as I use wireless feature often and want to update to date with security features.

 Another thing I liked about the Apple's Software Update feature is that it lets you download the updates in the background, can notify when the downloading of these updates is done. This way user does not have to wait for the download of the updates. I also the fact that restart required status shown, so I have a choice to select only "no restart required" updates when I do not want to restart the computer. We have looked at Google pack and its updater too. We will be looking at Ubuntu update features in preparation for desing of Update Center feature in GlassFish. If you are interested, please provide feedback and paticipate. https://blogs.oracle.com/sv96363/entry/could_not_create_domain_what Could not create domain?

Re-checkout of the sources and building the sources should go through fine. Nut you may run into the following issue during configure-runtime stage

If you guessed the reason, then you are smart :) and you can skip the rest of this blog. This is caused by an existing glassfish instance still running and is using the domains/domain1/autodeploy directory. GlassFish running instance crates .autodeploystatus file in the domain directory. Even though you removed this directory. The un-stopped running instance creates this file, if it is removed.

So stop the running instance and remove the domains directory. Then you are all set to a new version of GlassFish and ready to try out the newer builds.

  https://blogs.oracle.com/sv96363/entry/updating_and_monitoring_lb_plug Updating and Monitoring LB plug-in with Web Server 7.0 sv96363 2006-09-21T10:58:22+00:00 2006-09-22T23:01:30+00:00 My previous blog talks about setting up a SSL connection between DAS and load balancer (Web Server 6.0), configuration changes can be pushed from DAS (Domain Administration Server) to Load Balancer automatically. This avoids manual copying of loadbalancer.xml. The monitoring data about load balancer can also be obtained, once SSL is setup. The following instructions talk about setting up Load Balancer in SSL Mode in Web Server 7.0.

 Instructions to install load balancer (Web Server 7.0) and enable the 9.0 features:

 Please install Web Server 7 Preview 2. Please make sure you do not use the default directory on windows (Program Files/Sun/WebServer7). Please choose a directory which does not contain any spaces. Otherwise create-selfsigned-cert command fails. This bug is fixed in the upcoming Web Server 7 Preview 3 release. Once the web server is installed in a non default directory, start the admin server as follows:

C:\\Sun\\WebServer7\\admin-server>bin\\startserv.bat
 The Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Administration Server service is starting....
 The Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Administration Server service was started successfully.

 Get the config name of the server instance by using the wadm command.

C:\\Sun\\WebServer7>bin\\wadm.bat --user admin
 Please enter admin-user-password>
 Sun Java System Web Server 7.0-Technology-Preview-2 B06/19/2006 16:59
 wadm> list-configs
 CHAND-NT

 I will be working with the CHAND-NT configuration. Most commands need the --config parameter, so instead of typing that over and over, I'll set it once:

wadm>set wadm_config CHAND-NT

 Then create a self signed certificate as follows

wadm> create-selfsigned-cert --server-name=CHAND-NT --nickname=ServerCert --token=internal

 With the certificate installed, I now need a listener on some port which will have SSL enabled. I'll need a default virtual server associated with a listener, so first I want to check what virtual servers are configured so far:

wadm>list-virtual-servers
 CHAND-NT

 Ok there is only one (the default) virtual server here, so I'll go with that one:

wadm>create-http-listener --server-name=CHAND-NT --default-virtual-server-name=CHAND-NT --listener-port=8090 http-listener-ssl

 Finally I need to set a few things on my new SSL listener: at the very least it needs to be enabled and it needs to be associated with the nickname of the cert it's going to use:

wadm>set-ssl-prop --http-listener=http-listener-ssl enabled=true
 wadm>set-ssl-prop --http-listener=http-listener-ssl server-cert-nickname=MyServerCert

 After all the configuration is done, I just need to deploy this new configuration and start my server:

wadm>deploy-config host.red.iplanet.com
 wadm>start-instance

 I can now go and check https://CHAND-NT:8090 from a browser to verify the setup is working.

 Please export DAS certificate by executing the command

<as home>/lib/upgrade/pk12util -d <domain root>/config -o sjsas.p12 -W <file password> -K <master password> -n s1as

 Please import the das certificate into webserver instance.

 pk12util -i sjsas.p12 -d C:\\Sun\\WebServer7\\admin-server\\config-store\\JHAUK\\config

 If obj.conf does not contain the following lines, please inser the following lines to the end of obj.conf

<Object ppath="\*lbconfigupdate\*">
 PathCheck fn="get-client-cert" dorequest="1" require="1"
 <Object>
 <Object ppath="\*lbgetmonitordata\*">
 PathCheck fn="get-client-cert" dorequest="1" require="1"
 </Object>

You can verify the above setup from DAS. From the appserver admin gui, create a cluster, load balancer. Instead of using local CA, you can use any other CA and server certificate. In that case you skip step 5 and 6, but need to import server certificate you obtained from other CAs.
From CLI, the following creates the load balancer and sets it up, so that DAS posts the configuration changes automatically to that load balancer.

 asadmin create-http-lb-config --target cluster1 sample_lb_config

 asadmin create-http-lb --config sample_lb_config --autoapplyenabled=true --devicehost device_host_or_ip --deviceport device_port sample_lb

Give the webserver host and https listener port for device host and port. Click on test connection to test the connection. By default load balancer created from GUI uses SSL connection to connect to load balancer device.

A Normative Theory of Sovereignty Transfers
Verdirame, Guglielmo, Stanford Journal of International Law
F. The ICJ
In none of its cases has the ICJ dealt with either the sovereignty or the liberty questions directly. Yet, the ICJ, and its predecessor the PCIJ, adopted a distinctive conception of sovereignty that has been extremely important in the development of international law and is relevant to both of those questions.
This conception of sovereignty goes back to the view, first expressed by the Permanent Court of International Justice in Lotus, that state sovereignty may be restricted only through the consent of states; this is the Lotus presumption, (118) or the "metaprinciple of sovereign liberty." (119)
In Lotus, the Permanent Court rejected the French argument that the "Turkish courts, in order to have jurisdiction, should be able to point to some title to jurisdiction recognised by international law in favour of Turkey." (120) The Permanent Court accepted instead the Turkish argument that the question was whether the exercise of jurisdiction by Turkey had come into conflict with a principle of international law. It explained:
This way of stating the question is also dictated by the very nature and existing conditions of international law. International law governs relations between independent States. The rules of law binding upon States therefore emanate from their own free will as expressed in conventions or by usages generally accepted as expressing principles of law and established in order to regulate the relations between these co-existing independent communities or with a view to the achievement of common aims. Restrictions upon the independence of States cannot therefore be presumed. (121)
The word sovereignty does not appear in this passage, but sovereignty is what is really meant by the word "independence" in the operative sentence at the end. Moreover, in a later passage the court explains that "all that can be required of a State is that it should not overstep the limits which international law places upon its jurisdiction; within these limits, its title to exercise jurisdiction rests in its sovereignty." (122) The Lotus idea of sovereignty could be summarised in two propositions: First, the original position on the international plane is absolute freedom for states; second, states move away from this original position only by freely consenting to international obligations.
As noted by Judge Simma in his Declaration, Lotus provided the "underlying rationale" for the ICJ's Advisory Opinion in the case of Kosovo. (123) The ICJ opined that, in the absence of a prohibitive rule in international law against declarations of independence, the declaration of independence of Kosovo had to be presumed to be "in accordance with" international law. (124) There was no small amount of irony in the fact the souverainisme of Lotus was deployed to tramp a quintessentially souveraniste argument about the territorial integrity of Serbia. (125)
The Lotus view is inadequate for a number of reasons. First, it is not clear why the original position for states should be one of absolute freedom. The answer that it follows from the consensualist foundations of international law simply begs the question. Secondly, the practice of states, particularly in relation to newly independent states, contradicts this account of an originally boundless sovereignty that is progressively limited through consent.
The jurisprudence I discussed above deals with questions that are central to the nature of international law. It is a philosophical jurisprudence in the sense that it is premised on or promotes a particular vision of the international system. Adjudication is not of course an exercise in abstraction. Courts must ground their answers in the positive law. Nevertheless, international or constitutional law adjudication on points that find no clear answer in precedent will often require courts to grapple with principles that are formulated in very general terms and to argue at a fairly high level of abstraction. …

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Three pigs exhibited at the recent North Dakota State Fair in Minot have tested positive for a strain of swine flu.
The state Agriculture Department says results from the National Veterinary Services Laboratory show the pigs tested positive for the H3N2 influenza virus.
Officials say influenza can spread from pigs to people, but there is no evidence that any people have become ill due to exposure to the pigs.
State animal health officials inspect all livestock displayed at the State Fair. Officials say the pigs appeared healthy when they arrived at the fair and became sick later. Their owners removed them after they were tested, at the recommendation of veterinarians.
State officials did not disclose who owned the pigs or where they came from.

VCA Foothill Vet has been taking care of our extended family for over 25 years now. From our first Golden Retriever, Austin, to our current black cat, Kiki, they have supported us and kept our furry family members well and happy. Just after we adopted Kiki, Dr Andrew immediately diagnosed her condition as hyperthyroid and recommended radio iodine treatment at a specialist. Kiki reacted well to that treatment and was doing well, but has since been diagnosed with breast cancer -twice. Dr. Andrew recommended surgical treatment in both cases and Dr. Bell performed both surgeries. Kiki recovered quickly from both surgeries and is doing well under the continued advice of the doctors and staff at VCA Foothill Vet. Whenever we visit, the entire staff is so kind and helpful. The front office staff knows a lot about animals and their advice is really helpful. We're very impressed with the knowledge and professionalism of the entire staff. We can't thank VCA Foothill Vet enough for all their service over the last 25 years. We are so happy that they've been their to take care of our pets. We'd be petless without them.

Wall Street Journal op-ed propagates Rasmussen's false claim that he's 'never' worked for a political party.
ThinkProgress recently noted that Politico failed to fact check right-leaning pollster Scott Rasmussen's false claim that he "has never been a campaign pollster or consultant for candidates seeking office." Yesterday, Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal fell for the same trap, publishing an op-ed by Democratic pollsters — and Fox News contributors — Pat Caddell and Doug Schoen about the "virulent attacks from left-wing bloggers" against Rasmussen:
The reaction against him has been strident and harsh. He's been called an adjunct of the Republican Party when in fact he has never worked for any political party. Nor has he consulted with any candidates seeking elective office.
The attacks on Rasmussen and Gallup follow an effort by the White House to wage war on Fox News and to brand it, as former White House Director of Communications Anita Dunn did, as "not a real news organization." The move backfired; in time, other news organizations rallied around Fox News. But the message was clear: criticize the White House at your peril.
The falsity comes from Rasmussen's official bio. But according to the non-partisan Center for Public Integrity, Rasmussen has in fact been a paid consultant for the RNC and President Bush's 2004 campaign. He accepted $95,500 and $45,500 from each, respectively, for "survey research." Also, as Media Matters points out, The Wall Street Journal "failed to identify Caddell and Schoen as Fox News contributors, despite their defense of the network." Nate Silver has more here on Rasmussen's polling techniques.

Hi wolfie...nice to see you over here...giving foo a break?
About the bridge pix. There was a house just downstream that was undermined by the flood. I think it was pretty close to being a casualty cause the foundation had a huge crack.
So do either one of you, wp and btx, take any of Rosgen's courses in fluvial geomorph?

Very wooded park, good roads and level sites. Boat launch available and fresh water pond on property with beach. If you want cable TV, you need to borrow a converter box (Xfinity) with a $25 refundable deposit. No OTA signal to speak of. No WiFi but good Verizon cell coverage. Mostly seasonals in travel trailers and park models and a handful of transient sites. Try to get in the sites numbered 25-29.
We stayed here to visit the grand kids who live nearby. They came to visit for a day and we sat on the beach then had dinner. Visitors pay $5 per adult and $4 per kid under 14. I thought this was a little steep. The beach wasn't all that good.
We decided we'd go back again but we'd try to get the sites on the edge by the beach (25-29). These were more secluded and in better shape. - jplante4

Expensive for what it is! Mostly seasonals and narrow gravel roads that are hard to navigate due to cars parked alongside them. Sites are a reasonable width, but not long enough to accept the RV and a parked car. Owner was friendly, but the whole place looked "cheap" - certainly not the quality to deserve the high price! - Limey51
Jun 2013 - $38.00
Most sites are very close. Our site was not level. Roads are rough and tight. Owners are nice and pool appears to be nice. We did not check out the bath house. The WiFi and cable TV are fine. I would look somewhere else next time, but might end up back here for the WiFi. - aSprinkling

This park is in restoration mode. Sites were gravel and close to each other. There are a lot of permanent residents, however all the people were really friendly. The owners are extremely nice and trying very hard to get this camp in shape and are getting close. Our site was level with a new electrical pedestal and water tap. Cable television and WiFi worked great. While we were here (2 days) several plants were placed and lots of leveling done around large tent pavilion with more landscaping. The owners sure are proud of their campground and have good reason to be. - illini777

Quite the week for Tesla Motors, which jumped 14 per cent on Tuesday after Morgan Stanley auto analyst Adam Jonas penned a financial love letter that dreamt of a robot car utopia powered by Tesla battery packs.
The analyst's target price went to $320, from $153. It comes after Elon Musk told Bloomberg TV that he had conversations with Apple, but another boost to the valuation ahead of any stock based capital raising to fund the battery "Gigafactory" can't hurt.
Incidentally, who was it who asked about a possible capital raise on Tesla's conference call last week? Read more
Remember when bashing Tesla was all the fashion? When Elon Musk had to defend himself from shorters and haters on a daily basis? When free-market types cursed the company's dependence on government subsidies and rent-seeking, and considered it a market abomination?

Only 12 years to go till the "utopian society" drives up.
A couple of years ago we had the privilege of attending a closed door session with a well known (former) spook/security type. We shan't mention exactly who it was, but suffice to say the person in question seemed to know more about what's what in the world of global security than anyone else doing the public speaking rounds these days.
It was a so-called "access event", the sort where wealth managers pay organisers to connect them with those who know much more about what's going on than they do.
The spook in question made clear that he could only comment in a private capacity and in very general terms, but he was nevertheless open to questions. Read more

Got a minute?
Got a minute?

It's not uncommon for employers to require job candidates to supply wage information as part of the application and hiring process. PayScale's eBook Communicating Compensation shares tips for making these types of conversations easier.
Jessica Miller-Merrell, blogging4jobs
PayScale's compensation data indicates that an overwhelming majority of employees gave pay raises last year. For millions of workers, this is good news. However, raising wages across the board is a daunting scenario for most businesses.
Tess C. Taylor, PHR, The HR Writer
The competition for top talent continues to heat up as organizations fight for those who have highly sought after skills. In some industries where growth is the strongest, the search for candidates with the right stuff can take months. Yet, why is it that as quickly as companies secure their best employees, they jump ship?
Millennials are the newest generation to enter the workforce. For many employers, they are still revered as unknown and unpredictable. They are scary and intimidating, different. Because employers don't understand them, they have not quite fully come to understand how to effectively manage and retain them.
How can companies encourage hiring more female engineers and close the gender wage gap for good?
Every employer says they want more female engineers, but the numbers tell a different story. If you were really wanting to recruit a certain demographic, wouldn't you start by paying them fairly?
Co-written by Mykkah Herner, PayScale Comp Specialist and Tess C.Taylor, Founder of HR Knows
Around the nation, large corporations are taking the minimum wage issue to heart by instituting salary increases for their most underpaid workers.
Jade Makana, Director of Content Marketing, B2B
Charlize Theron got another $10 million. Lily Ledbetter got $3.3 million. And even Ellen Pao, who lost her gender discrimination case, still cost Kleiner Perkins a cool $1 million. (It remains to be seen if she'll have to pay it back.)
When it comes to men treating women badly, the last few years has erupted in a tidal wave of women breaking their silence and speaking out. From Bill Cosby to Big Eyes, the biopic of Margaret Keane, an artist who was awarded $4 million after proving her husband took authorship credit for her paintings, women are officially shattering the shame ceiling, and the cost is both unprecedented and stupendous.
Jessica Miller-Merrell, blogging4jobs
Crystal Spraggins, SPHR
Nearly 90,0000 workers will receive paid time off, educational assistance, and an additional $1 an hour over the federal minimum. These changes are slated to take effect July 1, 2015.
Earlier this month, Apple announced it will be initiating major improvements to the wage and benefits programs of its 150 commuter drivers (i.e., the drivers who shuttle Apple employees back and forth to work). The drivers had already agreed to be represented by the Teamsters Union.
It seems that even Apple, an industry giant by any standards, is beginning to realize that if they're not paying their workers, someone else will.
Tess C. Taylor, PHR, The HR Writer
I'd argue that before focusing on transparency, employers should be sure they have the best compensation program possible, because compensation matters now more than ever.
Why do sales compensation plans often fail to produce the best results? Well, because companies make mistakes when creating and implementing them in the first place!
Adopting the idea from taxi service Uber, Zappos hopes the new compensation structure will incentivize employees to work when customer demand is highest, such as in the early hours of the weekdays on the east coast or during the early hours in Las Vegas, where Zappos is headquartered. Under the new system, more demanding shifts equal higher pay.
No doubt this announcement is part of an effort to boost the image of the retail industry while attracting and retaining employees with better compensation. It's no surprise this effort follows a wave of highly publicized organized worker protests and lawsuits claiming these markets take advantage of cheap labor.
That's too bad, because if employees are confused about how they'll be compensated for their hard work, they may fail to meet performance standards. When this happens, disappointment ensues. Employees may not get the wage increases they believe they have coming to them, and employers may not get the performance they want.

Keller @ Large: Where Guns Can't GoAn online petition to lift the ban on guns at the upcoming Republican National Convention certainly has people talking.
Republican National Committee Heads To Boston For Its Summer MeetingThe Republican National Committee is heading to Boston for its summer meeting.
Opinion: Preview Of November? Democrats Trounce Republicans In Convention RatingsThe early returns are in and, according to the Neilson rating company, the Democrats beat the Republicans... and the NFL.
Opinion: Thanks To Clint And Clinton, We Almost Stayed AwakeThe Republican and Democratic National Conventions of 2012 – yawn-per-yawn – have to be the most uninspiring political conventions in recent history.
Keller @ Large: Political Conventions Are A WasteWBZ Political Editor Jon Keller lays out a case for getting rid of the big political conventions.
Opinion: Democrats Take Their Turn With Gaffes And Negative Press At ConventionCommonly referred to as "what goes around, comes around', the Republicans are finding plenty to take shots at as the Democrats conduct their week in the 'often dubious' political spotlight called "the Convention".
Opinion: Democrats Offer A Positive Vision For The Future At Convention After GOP Offers Only AttacksSitting in the Time Warner Cable Arena last night I was struck by how different the Democratic National Convention was from the Republican event last week. Unlike the Republicans in Tampa, Democrats focused on the fight to preserve the middle class and the American Dream.
Opinion: 2012 Democratic National Convention: Superstar-less And On The DefensiveWhat a difference four horrendous years makes. Thinking back to the Democratic National Convention of 2008 and now seeing what's going on in Charlotte, North Carolina this week at the Democratic National Convention of 2012 shows stark differences. The Democrats have no star power and pale in comparison to the Republicans' star-packed convention in Tampa.
Opinion: Famous People Should Keep Their Mouths Shut During Political ConventionsIt is strange that famous people think the world gives a hoot about their political views. Last week, a good number of famed and fortuned people spoke their anti-Republican and anti-Romney prejudiced-minds regarding the Republican National Convention.
Opinion: Empty Chair Day 2012 and #EastwoodingInstead of getting rowdy at a demonstration or protest regarding the lack of jobs throughout the country, people can voice their discontent with the nation's current unemployment rate on this Labor Day by simply placing an empty chair in their front yard.
So.....Are You Ready For Another Political Convention? Big headline on the OP/ED page of the Boston Globe today....a Jeff Jacoby column read "SCRAP THE CONVENTIONS." That is wrong at so many levels and I honestly don't have enough space to enumerate the wrongness of it.
Opinion: Clint Eastwood Made My DayLast night, Clint Eastwood produced the most bizarre and uncomfortable moments in modern convention history. If Mitt Romney cannot get his campaign right. If he cannot even get the things that he can control right, how can he make the case that he can run the country?

May you live long, live strong, and live happy!
Good grief, that goes beyond the pale.
Rode the SART (for the first time) on Labor Day. A guy in front of me was passing a family when a fast moving cyclist rounded the bend and got startled by the guy being slightly in his lane. He started cussing that dude out and flipped him off as he passed by. Right by the family with a couple kids.
What a tool.

"fietser tijdens de week, wielrenner op Zaterdag en Zondag"
On the other hand when I saw the Competitive Cyclist team out on the SART in their team jerseys (in town for a race), they were single file and very polite. Also they were probably only doing 21mph, rather than some final bunched up sprint on the MUP, dogs and children be damned.
"fietser tijdens de week, wielrenner op Zaterdag en Zondag"
I was riding with my women's club on our "beginner" ride going north on SGRT and two guys in front of us were waiting for a south bound cyclist to go by so they could pass the couple who were walking their dogs on the MUP.
Operative word: MULTI-USE PATH
The south bound cyclist complained rudely to the dog walkers that they had no right to be there as it is a BIKE PATH and were blocking the cyclists behind them. This section of SGRT is narrow and there is NO shoulder for them to walk on. They were as far over as they could be.
The two cyclists in front of my group said some stuff rudely to the couple as well as they made their pass.
I loudly called after the southbound guy and the two north bound guys that the trail is a MUP and as such the folks with their dogs were within their rights to be there. You don't like it go ride on the road.
The river trails are not just for bikes.
Do I prefer just cyclists? Sure...but I also don't ride in a double pace line hogging up both sides while doing 20+ mph and expecting others to move out of MY way.
I used to get mad about cyclists' rude behavior but I have given up. For one, I don't ride many MUP's any more. It's not just the cyclists but trail runners in large packs 4 abreast, those dog walkers with 80' leads on the dog and everyone who seems to have forgotten it is a multi-use trail.
To me this is a newish behavior that affects not only MUPs but dirt trails and the road as well. Did a metric on the road this weekend and was past by several large groups - no one person called out; no one. I had no idea how many people were in the group and how long I had to hold my breathe and stay put as they rode past. We did ride along some of parts of bike trails and were past by two or three idiots who thought this was the Tour De France, flying around everyone without once calling out. All one walker had to do was turn to the left and BAM; everyone down!
Dirt trails have gotten as bad. I love riding singletrack but its a rule of etiquette never to ride beyond your ability to control the bike. Can't tell you how many times I have almost had head on collison with some idiot that thinks he is alone on the trail. and forget horse riders and walkers - they don't exist. And forget the rule the rider going uphill has the right of way; downhillers expect everyone to clear off for them.
I love the fact so many people are embracing cycling but I hate the fact so many come into the sport without learning the proper etiquette, expertise and knowledge. So many MTB riders are now tackling trails way over their heads just ruining them for everyone (tons of stutter bumps from braking).
Anyway, like I said - just don't think about it anymore... I can't control the world.

From the article link above....
Maybe someone else can explain this to me, but why would you expect someone to "give way" when they have the right of way?A small peloton of Lycra-clad cyclists came northbound around a bend, taking up both lanes. Most moved over into the northbound lane; one just waved his hand at me to give way, which would have put me into a particularly ugly-looking patch of cactus. There was nowhere for me to go; we collided.

That being said I'd rather avoid an altercation altogether, and avoid possible injury and damage to the bike, than than let my ego get the best of me.
Taking 15 seconds out of your life could save time in handcuffs, a fight, and the risk of some kind of injury.
Not just injury to yourself, but injuring others often sticks with you for a while.
The wise man would take 15 seconds to avoid an accident. The fool would stay in their lane.
No one is being robbed or kidnapped. Its a bike trail. Pick better battles.

[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]Just me back in the days
Why can't you teach your child to ride a bike in an empty parking lot? After the child learns to ride, then he or she can learn the rules of the bike trial during rides on the bike trail. This is wise and safe for the child, the parent, and other trail users who still will need to adjust their paces to avoid the child.
I've been teaching my kids to yell "on your left, a$$hole" but you can only really do that on the bike trail. It doesn't have the same effect in a parking lot.
What to do, what to do... hm.
Didn't Carlin say everybody riding slower than him was a moron, and everybody riding faster is a lunatic? I may have paraphrased a bit. A little tolerance goes a long way.
I've told this story before, but I love it. On her first ride on the SART, a Fred that was riding towards us yelled at her telling her to "Move over" She was in the middle of her lane while the 2 abreast peloton approached. One of my proudest moments as a parent was when she screamed back. "you stay on your side Lance!"

If you really need a better memory allocator, try Hoard:
Note that it's not necessarily free. If you want a free one, try one of these.
Hoard is a "drop-in replacement for
Also, dmalloc is another "drop-in replacement", whose aim is to make memory allocation issues easier to debug.
Maybe either of those works for you. It's a bit hard to understand why you want to replace

nedmalloc can be used as a drip in replacement for CRT memory functions, it can also be injected into already compiled apps.
if you are using glibc, you shouldn't worry too much, its a very good allocator, based on dlmalloc, they only time you should really worry these days is multi-threaded allocation where contention is an issue, in which case you want nedmalloc, tcmalloc or TBB malloc.
A quick search in google showed me that there are no other C methods to allocate memory as effectively as malloc does (taking care of memory alignment etc). From what I saw its quite hard and nasty to try to create your own malloc-replacement too...

Wow ... blowjob in italian disco
Nice workout for that big shlong! With that many women they could have used some more cocks.
The woman in the beginning with the khaki blouse is the best. The other women look too stiff, like they were trying to be more pretty instead of trying to please the cock. By the way, i would have SO bust on all of their faces ;)
