We have been blogging about the same problems and problem patterns we see while working with our customers over the past few of years. There have always been the classic application performance landmines in the areas of inefficient database access, misconfigured frameworks, excessive memory usage, bloated web pages and not following common web performance best practices among others.
More than two years ago we posted summary blogs of the Top Server-Side Performance Problems and the Top 10 Client-Side Performance Problems to give operations, architects, testers and developers easy-to-consume best practices. We feel that it is time to provide an update to these best practices as new problem patterns have since come into play. We also want to cover more than just problems that happen within your application by broadening the scope across the entire Application Delivery Chain. This includes all components between your end user and your back-end systems, databases and third-party services. The following illustrates which components are involved and what the typical errors are along the delivery chain.
Delivering an application to the end user has become more complex as it involves more components than ever before. This also leaves a lot of room for mistakes that impact end-user experience.
Let's now dig a little deeper in some of the highlighted problem areas. The following lists our Top Performance Landmines that have been reported by our customers such as BonTon and Swarovski. Other companies include those in the financial services industry, manufacturing industry and energy industry among others. To make it easier for you to decide which landmines to read we also added the target audience for each problem area.
Bloated Web Front Ends
Audience: Operations, Architects, Testers, Developers
Often companies focus on optimizing the performance of the applications they deliver by tuning the code, reducing SQL overhead, implementing application caching, and other items that are, for the most part, invisible to the customer using the application. However, all of this effort and activity can go completely unnoticed if the content being delivered to customers is bloated and inefficient.
Sources we track show that the average page delivered to customers has been steadily increasing in size and complexity over the last 3-4 years as well as customers' expectations of performance. This continuous conflict of business vs customer expectations needs to be understood in order to be effectively managed. What companies need to realize is that what they consider to be fast and efficient doesn't really matter. If the customers using the site believe that the site is slow and hard to use, they won't use it and they will tell their friends about their poor experience.
Comparing your performance to top competitors in your industry as well as Internet leaders helps you set performance goals that can be achieved over time. Additionally, understanding why your customers leave your site can help you resolve customer experience issues: Is it a particular subset of customers who leave? Which page caused them to leave? Is there an application function on that page that is bloated and slow?
Comparing your site against peers in the same industry will help you understand where you rank.
Using caching, compression, CDNs, and a critical eye that asks questions about every new image, function, and feature you add, you can trim the weight of your site and deliver a better customer experience.
We discuss the performance degradation that can be traced to bloated front ends and how this affects site performance in Performance Improvement is not Performance Optimization and Super Bowl Sunday 2013 - Winners, Losers, and Casualties.
Slow Third-Party Content and CDNs
Audience: Operations, Architects, Testers
Focusing on your own content can leave you exposed to performance issues that originate outside your organization. With companies adding more content from third-party sources to their site, managing application performance becomes increasingly complex, even when these services are designed to improve performance.
During peak performance events over the last 12 months - holiday shopping season and the Super Bowl - two primary trends were seen: third-party services were overwhelmed when more than one of their customers reached peak traffic simultaneously and CDNs buckled under flash loads that were far larger than even the busiest days their customers typically experience.
Third-party services are here to stay. It is far easier to sign a contract with an advertising firm to help you optimize the display of ads on your site than to try and design such a system yourself. Items such as analytics, social media, web fonts, and popular JavaScript libraries are often drawn from services you don't directly control, but rely on to work efficiently and reliably at all times. When these external services have an issue, it's your brand that takes the customer experience hit, not the third party.
Monitoring and managing third parties means treating them as unique applications, with their own baselines and Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and Service Level Objectives (SLOs). It sometimes means asking tough questions of these services, such as:
- Have you load tested your systems to see what happens when three of your largest customers experience peak traffic simultaneously?
- What is the escalation path we should follow with your team when we discover a performance issue that is affecting our customers?
- How well did your system perform during the eight busiest hours over the last 12 months, not just the average performance?
Monitor the impact of slow third-party and CDN content on your page load time.
Finally, your team needs to be prepared for the scenario where a third-party service or CDN suffers a severe outage or begins to seriously degrade your site performance. Always have a Plan B, C, etc. that gives you the ability to mitigate the issue. These plans could include removing third-party tags, images, and content from your site entirely during peak traffic, load balancing between multiple CDNs, moving content to a secondary cloud provider, all the way to switching to a simple bare bones site that removes all rich media until traffic returns to a normal level.
Unless you know how third parties affect your performance, there is no way for you to manage them effectively. Once you manage your third parties, you can take control of all aspects of your site performance.
More on third-party services and their effects on application performance is covered in: You only control 1/3 of your Page Load Performance!, Third Party Content Management applied: Four steps to gain control of your Page Load Performance!, The Ripple Effect of Facebook's Outage, Third-Party Issues and the Performance Ripple Effect, and Website's Vulnerability to Third-Party Services Exposed.
We also discuss third parties, most notably CDN performance in: Super Bowl Sunday 2013 - Winners, Losers, and Casualties, and Why Bon Ton needs real-time visibility into 85% of its content delivered by Akamai.
Wrong Usage of Frameworks
Audience: Architects, Developers
The following screenshot shows that Hibernate executes the same SQL query multiple times instead of caching the result from the first query. This happens in case Hibernate has not been configured correctly to perform optimally for your specific needs:
Loading a person two times in a row, but no session cache involved
Finally, frameworks get constantly updated to improve functionality but also improve performance and stability. You want to watch out for these updates and also update your implemented framework version to benefit from the improvements. We have seen cases where, e.g., jQuery was never updated leaving websites with bad performance on older browsers and sometimes even on newer browsers when older versions of jQuery didn't leverage the capabilities of the latest IE, FF, Chrome or Safari browsers.
Long-running CSS Class Name Lookups contribute about 80% to the Client-Side Load Time.
If you want to read more about common problems when using these types of frameworks check out our blogs series on Hibernate (The Session Cache, The Query Cache, Second Level Cache), the Top SharePoint Performance Mistakes or the 101 on jQuery Selector Performance.
Network Infrastructure Problems
Audience: Operations, Architects, Testers
Network infrastructure is an important component of every successful business operation. Performance problems experienced by end users can have various origins. The operation teams need Application Performance Monitoring solutions that will enable them to isolate fault domains effortlessly and quickly.
Sometimes the answer is not obvious and performance problems can end up in a "war room" between infrastructure and application providers. The team needs to analyze whether the problem is present at all locations where the application is executed. In certain cases, the performance problems might be caused by external infrastructure used by some users.
Performance problems can be pretty costly. According to the report by the Aberdeen Group they can reduce revenue by 9% and productivity by 64%. When our services are based on the SAP infrastructure the costs can rise to even $15,000 per every minute of a service downtime. Even though SAP provides tools to monitor its components, the proper APM solution should deliver a holistic view over the entire infrastructure. Only then can the Operations team tell whether it is a problem with SAP components that were quite an investment to deploy or it's an infrastructure problem that's not related to the SAP or any application.
Overview of SAP tier with top most under-performing modules and most affected users
The most obvious hints on whether this is a network or an application problem can be seen by checking for the Network and Server time outliers compared to the values of the baseline traffic. But eyeballing the reports is not enough to avoid problems. The first step toward proactive application performance management is to learn to respond promptly to alerts triggered by the APM tool when key measures go outside of the usual range.
Cloud Gotchas
Audience: Operations, Architects
"The Cloud" comes with a great promise: endless resources for endless scalability and performance when I need it. This eliminates the need to buy a lot of hardware that sits idle most of the time but is only used during peak traffic periods. It also allows me to scale and perform far beyond what is expected without needing to wait for additional hardware to ship.
But there are some gotchas: throwing hardware at an application that is not designed to scale in a cloud environment won't leverage the possibilities that the cloud provides. In fact, it often ends up being a very costly endeavor. One must also understand that The Cloud - unless we talk about a private cloud setting - is an environment that is not owned by you. Direct access to the underlying hardware is not as easy as if the hardware is located in the next room, which makes troubleshooting or monitoring much harder. The cloud is also not just an endless resource pool of CPU, Memory or Disk On-Demand. It provides lots of other services such as storage, messaging and more which one must understand and monitor for performance, as these services are key components of your application.
It is recommended to live monitor cloud instance usage and cost in order to not fall into a cost trap

Too Many Database Calls
Audience: Architects, Testers, Developers
Database Access is the problem we see the most within the application. It is nothing new - but - as we still see it on almost every application we work with, it is critical enough to mention it again. The first lesson learned is that the blame is often not on the database side but on the access patterns of the application to the database. All too often we see a single web request that queries thousands of database statements. There are multiple reasons for it: fetching too much data beyond just the data that is needed or inefficient fetching of data that then gets aggregated and computed in the application rather than in a stored procedure. What is really interesting is that we see this problem pattern not only in distributed applications running on modern application servers. We also see it on "legacy" applications such as VB6 or even the mainframe. The following screenshot highlights the transaction flow of an enterprise application that calls the mainframe. The mainframe transaction makes 225 SQL executions per transaction. A closer look typically reveals that the same statements are called hundreds of times due to the reasons mentioned above:
The Transaction Flow highlights how services interact with each other including the number of interactions to DB2 which indicate a potential architectural and performance problem.
Besides these access pattern problems we also see individual statements that take a long time to execute. In this case, it is important to not only focus on the database to optimize statements by tweaking indices or the like, it's also important to analyze whether these queries can be optimized from within the application. We often see that too much data is retrieved from the database, which first gets parsed by the application (using extra memory) and is then thrown away (more GC activity). Another landmine is misconfigured connection pools or application code that holds on to connections too long and ends up blocking other threads from accessing the database.
The following screenshot shows the database queries executed by a single transaction, most of them taking very long to execute. The fix to this problem was to optimize these statements in both the application and in the database:
The architects in this case started by optimizing SQL statements that took a long time to execute and those that got executed several times within the same transaction.
For further reading check out our blogs with more detailed background on these problem patterns such as Don't let your load balancers ruin your holiday business or Saving MIPS and Money. For connection pool problems we also have one interesting blog named The reason I don't monitor connection pool usage.
Big Data Not Optimized
Audience: Operations, Architects, Testers, Developers
The amount of data that we and our applications have to process is constantly growing. Big Data solutions (NoSQL, MapReduce...) provide new approaches to storing and processing large amount of data. But as with every technology it needs to be used in an optimized way to fit your specific needs. It is a misconception that you can simply process more data by adding additional resources to, e.g., a MapReduce cluster in order to speed up data processing. This only works if you have implemented your jobs in a way that allows them to scale. The same is true for accessing data from a NoSQL database. The same problems we see with relational databases also apply to accessing data in Big Data solutions. If you make inefficient queries or more queries than necessary, you are going to impact performance.
The following screenshot highlights a transaction that spends most of its time in MongoDB. A closer look into this revealed that the framework used to access MongoDB made a call to a size method of the cursor that then executed an additional query to MongoDB, which was totally unnecessary. In this example, eliminating that call reduced roundtrips to MongoDB and improved overall transaction performance by 15x:
Transactions that call JourneyCollection.getCount spend nearly half their time in MongoDB.
If you are using Big Data technologies such as Cassandra, MongoDB, Hadoop, or the like I suggest following up with the following blog posts that explain some of the problem patterns and highlight best practices: MongoDB Anti-Pattern, NoSQL vs Traditional Databases, Inside Cassandra Write Performance and What we can Learn from Cassandra Pagination. Also check out 15x Performance Improvements for Pig+HBase.
Undetected Memory Leaks
Audience: Architects, Testers, Developers
Memory and Garbage Collection problems are still very prominent issues in any enterprise application. One of the reasons is that the very nature of Garbage Collection is often misunderstood. Besides the traditional memory-related problems such as high memory usage, wrong cache usage strategies, we also see memory issues related to class loading, large classes or native memory. The following screenshot shows the problem of having single objects consuming a lot of memory. Not that this is a bad idea if necessary - but too often this happens because information is kept in memory for no apparent reason and with that consuming memory that is not available for others.
Single Object that is responsible for a big portion of the memory being leaked
Traditional memory leaks often lead to out of memory exceptions and typically to crashes of the virtual machines. This has a negative impact on the end user as the current context of user sessions and active transactions might be lost.
High memory usage on the other hand can result in high garbage collection, which has a direct impact on end user response time. Transactions that are suspended because of long running garbage collection processing can be optimized by tweaking garbage collection settings as well as being less "wasteful" with memory.
Even problems related to wrong implementations of equals/hashcode can lead to memory problems. To address this problem we wrote a full chapter on Memory Management in our Java Enterprise Performance book that explains concepts like How Garbage Collection works, Difference between JVMs, GC Tuning, High Memory Usage and the Root Cause, Class Load Related Problems and more. We have also blogged about specific memory scenarios - check out the following blogs: Memory Monitoring in WebSphere Environments, GC Bottlenecks in Heterogeneous Environments, Leak Detection in Production Environments, Top Memory Problems - Part I and Part II.

These landmines are some highlights with links to more detailed blog posts. As we continue to blog about these problem patterns, we plan to compile a second list of problems later this year. Keep watching our blog for more information and check out our online book on Java Enterprise Performance.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Texas, China Wind Partners May Build U.S. Factory to Appease Critical Lawmaker
A massive West Texas wind farm that came under scrutiny for its plans to incorporate Chinese wind turbines – yet still qualify for federal stimulus funds – is aiming to appease critical lawmakers by proposing a U.S. turbine factory, reports the Dallas Morning News.
The 36,000-acre wind farm in Texas has sought $480 million in stimulus funds, but Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) wrote a letter of protest to Energy Secretary Steven Chu.
The proposed U.S. turbine factory would employ about a thousand people.
U.S. Renewable Energy Group and Energy Generation Systems Ltd. of China (dba A-Power) are the main partners in the proposed $1.5 billion wind farm.
In response to Schumer, Chu wrote back that the project could apply for tax credits available to other qualifying entities, and that "manufacturers will not build plants here and grow their production capacity here unless there is domestic demand, and, until recently, that was not the case."
A-Power has hedged its promise of a new factory, however. Due to financing arrangements and the more imminent need for turbines for the Texas project, it is unlikely that the proposed factory would supply turbines to be actually used in the project.
Schumer continues to take umbrage with the project.
"We still maintain no stimulus money should be used to manufacture wind turbines in China," he said.
Texas added more wind capacity than any other state in the most recent quarter.
In October, what is now the world's largest wind farm opened in Texas. The 781.5 megawatt wind farm, situated amongst 100,000 acres of cotton farms in the Panhandle, cost $1 billion to construct.

Not approved for people with a fear of having their heads eaten by sugar-craving dinosaurs.
Not approved for people with a fear of having their heads eaten by sugar-craving dinosaurs.
The real smart move here is the donut hole acting like a melted ice cream cone on top of the cupcake. Sure, on hot summer days it would be nice to have something cold and refreshing, but if you were presented with one of these, wouldn't you be pleasantly surprised to bite into a lump of awesome donut?
The skies, they are still so grey! Part for me! Just a little direct sunshine is all I ask!
Normally I'd scream overkill at a cake this busy but there is some amazing balance going on here. A striped rainbow heart inside a striped rainbow cake? A rainbow of fondant sprinkles so perfect they must have been placed there by very patient elves? I swoon for this kind of overkill.
My nieces and nephews don't have birthdays coming up any time soon, but once July rolls around, guess what their favorite auntie has in store? Dipping a mini cupcake in icing and sprinkles sounds like so much fun it should be illegal.
Little Bunny Foo Foo rolling through the sprinkles scooping up all the chocolate and nomming it in the mouth!

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Finding The Right Mix
by Paul on 05/23/06 at 10:35 AM ET
Comments (0)
The L.A. Kings have hired a credible GM and coach, but will they give those men the right tools to work with? On the surface, it seems like a win-win situation. Lombardi is a well-respected hockey man who generated a name for himself with some solid work in building the San Jose Sharks into a credible National Hockey League franchise. He followed that up by then picking up some new and different kinds of experience by spending time in the inner circle of the Philadelphia Flyers. Crawford comes with a Stanley Cup on his resume, a respected tenure in two NHL cities (Denver and Vancouver), one of only two head coaches for Team Canada in the Olympics since that venue went pro and a long and mostly successful resume as a career coach. So they should win right?read on

Buck O'Neil Podcast
While he may not have made it into the Baseball Hall of Fame while he was alive, Negro Leagues star John "Buck" O'Neil is in the record books as the oldest person to play in a professional baseball game. O'Neil batted for the minor league team, the Kansas City T-Bones on July 19, 2006. Buck O'Neil died in October that same year at the age of 94, but left behind his oral history and legacy of the Negro Leagues.
Buck O'Neil visited St. Cloud State University on October 15, 1997. He gave hugs, signed autographs, and shared his endearing personal story. The presentation was sponsored by the department of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Sport Science under the guidance of Dr. Ray Collins, faculty emeriti.

Other Details
- PaymentCash, Credit Card
- WebsiteMossimo
- ProfileIn 1986 Mossimo Gianulli sold his own brand of beach volleyball shorts to retailers along the Southern Californian coast. Mossimo quickly realized the enormous potential for youth fashion.
Drawing influences from the Californian cultural melting pot, Mossimo was able to blend elements of surf, sports, urban and street fashion to build a powerful brand that had a very broad yet credible appeal.
In the Philippines, Mossimo has since proven to be one of the premiere urban, street labels for both men and women. Regarded as one of the original street-wear brands, the Mossimo name is unsurpassed for authenticity and quality. With a stable including men's and women's clothing, footwear, sleepwear, eye-wear, underwear, and a range of men's grooming products, Mossimo is more than just a brand; it's a lifestyle.
Mossimo has stood the test of time and after 19 years it still offers contemporary styling, authenticity and heritage in a tough market that ruthlessly cycles through brand.

Fussell, Elizabeth, Narayan Sastry, and Mark VanLandingham. 2009. "Race, Socioeconomic Status, and Return Migration to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina." PSC Research Report No. 09-667. January 2009.
Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans on 29 August 2005 and displaced virtually the entire population of the city. In this paper, we investigate return migration to the city by displaced residents over a period of approximately 14 months following the storm, describing overall return rates and examining differences in return rates by race and socioeconomic status. We use data from a representative sample of pre-Katrina New Orleans residents collected in the Displaced New Orleans Residents Pilot Survey. We find that black residents returned to the city at a much slower pace than white residents even after controlling for socioeconomic status and demographic characteristics. However, the racial disparity disappears after controlling for housing damage. We conclude that blacks tended to live in areas that experienced greater flooding and hence suffered more severe housing damage which, in turn, led to their delayed return to the city.

During the great California gold rush, early prospectors sifted through rocks and streams in the hopes of finding a fortune. But bigger hauls were often claimed by going below the surface and digging deeply into mines, where a treasure trove of gold lay waiting to be unearthed. The gold rush may be ancient history, but there's still potential treasure to be tapped--and crises that can be prevented too-by companies that are willing to delve deep into their dark data.

According to Re/code, Facebook is about to end its Gifts service. For many, the biggest surprise here is that Facebook still had its Gifts program. The idea was that Facebook would encourage users to order and send gifts to their friends, but about a year ago it discontinued the physical part of the gifts program. Now it's ending the part that suggested you send digital gift cards to friends.
On August 12, the program will finally come to an end. Facebook says it's focusing on "helping evelopers and businesses use Facebook to increase their own sales rather than on turning Facebook into an online store itself." This may be true, but it also seems evident that the program was struggling. Have you ever given or received a Facebook Gift? Do you know someone who has? Probably not.

The case for being converted where still a doubter,
This review is from: The Studio Albums 1968-1979 (Audio CD)
I suspect I differ with many of the other reviewers in that while a teenager in the 60s I resolutely avoided listening to and purchasing nearly all the singer/songwriters of that 60s and 70s era, with limited exceptions being Van Morrison and J. J. Cale. Instead I invested my bucks in a wide variety of groups and guitarists, from Hendrix to Can, CCR to Grateful Dead and so on. Many decades later (and much older!) I am now finally more open to revisiting much of the music I ignored at that time, helped by recent boxed budget price releases in many cases. Sadly many of these have reconfirmed my initial dismissal, the odd good few if not truly outstanding LPs not making for a great and consistent body of work over the decade 1968 to 1979 covered here. James Taylor, Carole King, Carly Simon and Leonard Cohen would be such examples to my mind from from recent purchases I have made.
So I came to this set with a very open mind and no preconceptions only being aware really of the hit singles the lady had had from that period as heard on the radio at the time. The overall conclusion after only a few listenings to the full set is that this is probably the best value and most consistently outstanding body of work from that whole group of singer/songwriters and easily places Joni Mitchell well above all her peers of that period 1968 to 1979. If like me you were a doubter then at least test that belief by trying out this incredible value box set and be prepared to be converted.
Listening to the CDs in chronological order brings through how much the lady has evolved and never stood still or rested on her laurels. Starting with the early folk orientation of solo singer with guitar (Song to a Seagull and Clouds), she moved into acoustic balladeer with added instrumentation or sparseness as needed plus showing greater maturity in music, lyrics and singing (Ladies of the Canyon, Blue and For the Roses). Those first five releases alone would have represented a great body of work but never one to stay still in honing her musicianship, the lady then slipped into more electronic musical forms (Court and Spark and Hissing of Summer Lawns) with even more impressive vocals and lyrics being displayed. The move forward continued apace with the more jazzy feel on Hejira and the final two releases with a mix of more obvious world music/jazz orientation (Don Juan's Reckless Daughter and Mingus). Just listing all the albums and the variety on display underlines the calibre, range and depth of Joni Mitchell's music.
Inevitably many reviewers have stated personal favourites from the box set but the aspect that really surprised me when one listens through the whole body of work is how consistent in quality and calibre it is - at the moment there is no one single CD I would choose over the others because each has something different to offer. Even the most inaccessible of the box set being the last release (Mingus) still leaves you feeling there is little to compare it against and the music will reward with more listens.
On the criticism of the lyrics on the replica sleeves being hard to read, this is in part simply down to the original artwork and colours used e.g. Blue and there being extensive lyrics on each album. Plus the lady's diction on all her songs is so clear it is really not a big issue compared with the attraction of all sleeve replicas being faithfully used given that pre-release the rumour was that each CD would be in a plain sleeve given the low overall price! The other comment that the live recording "Miles of Aisles" should also have been included is I think misplaced. Yes it was a release during this time period but as it duplicates many songs included in their original form in this studio set I am happy they omitted it. Given that live release can be acquired for around �6 from Amazon currently, people like myself who do not have it can easily add it at little cost if they want to complete their collection in having all Joni's releases from this period for around �30.
One final personal observation - this release reflects the quality of all Rhino re-releases but as far as I am aware there has been no audio remastering done. The pristine quality of the original recordings seems therefore to be a prize to be treasured.

This church is very warm, exciting and friendly. Praise and Worship is very touching and heartfelt. Pastor Holmes is such a great teacher. It's exciting just watching him teach the word of God. He makes it so simple for you to understand. When he teaches faith, he causes you to understand faith and how to use your faith. If you are looking for a bible teaching church, Morning VIew is the Church for you!
We are a medium sized church with concerned members and a Great Pastor. We are currently studying the bible -book by book. We started in Genesis and is currently finishing Exodus.

Mike Treder: CRN sometimes is accused of overstating the beneficial possibilities of advanced nanotechnology -- hyping what Garreau calles the "heaven" scenario. Other critics, of course, say CRN focuses too much on the dangers of molecular manufacturing -- emphasizing the "hell" scenario.
In reality, we expect something in-between to occur, perhaps along the lines of the "prevail" scenario. But even that won't be easy. Unless we start soon, our future may be chosen for us through our inaction.
