|Re: JVM memory size changing dramatically
|Wed, 28 Jul 2004 15:53:22 GMT
as others have stated, the only way to know is to stress test your app. even without running a test, I can tell you IIS5 running on a dual CPU box cannot handle 500 concurrent requests for dynamic pages. 500 concurrent requests for static files isn't a problem. Depending on the kind of application, the maximum concurrent requests maybe as low as a dozen or as high as 50-60. Does your app make database queries? How long do the queries take? How many CPU's does the database server have? Which version of Sql Server do you run? Is the database hosted on a separate box? What kind of router are you using between the webserver and database? Is there a dedicated ethernet port and router between the two tiers? These are all important questions to ask and answer. Once you answer most of these questions, you'll be able to confidently say what your webapp can handle. good luck peter On Wed, 28 Jul 2004 16:43:29 +0100, Dale, Matt <email@example.com> wrote: > > Only you can answer these questions by testing your application with something like Jmeter.

How Spain's Juan Carlos fell from graceBreaking News
tags: Telegraph (UK), Juan Carlos, Spain, Spanish monarchy
...It has been a year that has seen the popularity of King Juan Carlos plummet to unprecedented depths - to the point that even die-hard "JuanCarlistas", as his supporters are known, are now openly discussing the need for abdication in favour of his heir, Prince Felipe....
The King, long extolled for his role in bringing democracy to Spain following the death of dictator Francisco Franco, had for decades enjoyed the sort of respect and privacy from the press that would have been the envy of his British relatives, the Windsors.
The King's playboy reputation and love of expensive pursuits including fast cars and sailing were tolerated even with an annual bill of around 9 million euros to the taxpayer.
But a turning point in his popularity came last April when it emerged - after a nocturnal accident that left him with a broken hip - that he had been enjoying a luxury safari in Botswana hunting elephants....

good job!
keep on going!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
love the phaser fx
yearrhp... this works for me... almost trance-like... I'm trying to think what style of game I would see this in... maybe puzzle/maze games? I think... with the way it builds a bit near the end, it would certainly suit games that have a time limit...
You know, this could easily be an intro to a mad drum&bass (or something... i'm not sure how to classify the different varieties of electronic music) same riff just with some frantic drums backing it.
Good stuff.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Sounds just like a classic background game music, great job.
Thanks man. I'll be making more soon.

LUCKNOW: Even as district magistrate (DM) of Bijnore, Uttar Pradesh (UP), Sarika Mohan, withdrew her order restricting girls from wearing wear black clothes, including Burqas, or jeans at a function attended by chief minister Akhilesh Yadav following widespread protest, the controversy continues with Muslims organisations and opposition parties criticising state administration for the bizarre diktat.
The DM Bijnore had on Saturday issued orders that the girls who have been listed as recipients of cheques under the Kanya Vidya Dhan Yojana and Hamari Beti Uska Kal from state chief minister at a function in Rampur on Monday to refrain from wearing black dresses or jeans with tops.
"No girl will go there in black dresses, dupatta or cardigan. They will also not be allowed to wear jeans or top. All parents must send their wards in simple dresses. They will also not wear jewellery," the DM had stated in the order. This led to widespread protest in Bijnore. Muslim leaders even asked girls to boycott the function. ""The DM issued a diktat that all the girls those are going to Rampur would not wear black clothes including burqas, which is not acceptable to us," Maulana Anwar-ul-Haq, Imam, Jama Masjid, Bijnor, told media-persons.

I'm testing out WP 2.7-rc1 along with reBlog 2.0b2.
I understand that WordPress deprecated the usage of the wordpressuser and wordpresspass cookies in favour of a consolidated cookie which combines the username with a cookie hash (expiry, hmac). reBlog is still looking for wordpressuser and wordpresspass.
So, I'm what the best way (and simplest way) to use the new cookie for WordPress login checking. I'm not asking for help with reBlog, but asking a more general question as to how to identify and parse the new cookie without rewriting code that's going to become redundant. The basics of what I *need* to know is how to verify WordPress login. The more larger question is how to do all of this in a future-proof manner.

The M Word
- Studio: Breaking Glass Pictures
- Release Date: Apr 30, 2014
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Like a number of cult directors to emerge in the 1970s, Henry Jaglom values a party atmosphere at the expense of narrative cohesion.
Although unlikely to make any new converts, The M Word should well satisfy the filmmaker's small legion of devoted fans.
As cavalier with structure as ever, Mr. Jaglom surrounds himself with familiars who embrace his cheery, disorderly style.
In The M Word, Jaglom smartly sees a parallel between midlife hormone upheaval and sudden workplace superfluousness, but his unstructured-gabfest approach makes rather a mess of it.
The lively but wildly erratic result will surely please Jaglom's winnowing fan base, while baffling most others and doing little to deter Jaglom himself.
Jaglom is too spiritually and cinematically lazy to do anything but evoke glib, artless solidarity, and let us know he's heard of Twitter and Facebook.
There are some nice moments of camaraderie, as Feldman and Imperioli do their laid-back thing and Fisher is feisty and warmhearted. Still, the let's-all-talk-at-once actorliness wears thin. It's just not worth the mood swings.

CBR News has confirmed that Devilâs Due Publishing, the home of Tim Seeleyâs âHack/Slashâ and Milo Ventimigliaâs âRest,â among other titles, laid off two employees today: editor Cody DeMatteis and Marketing Manager Brian Warmoth.
Devilâs Due Publishing President Joshua Blaylock told CBR News Monday afternoon that he believed DeMatteis and Warmoth were the only two employees let go, and that their layoffs were âabsolutely no fault of their own.â
âRight now, all I can really say is weâre going to be going through a little bit of restructuring, and Iâll be more than happy to talk further about it as soon as I can,â Blaylock said.
Blaylock said Devilâs Due Publishing runs a very âlean and meanâ company, but that the ongoing American economic crisis was âdefinitely a factorâ in the layoffs and restructuring. Blaylock reiterated that he would speak further as soon as he can.
Historically, Devilâs Due is perhaps best known as the publisher of a number of G.I. Joe comics, a license they lost to IDW Publishing earlier this year. Devilâs Due also made news in October when it was rumored they had acquired independent publisher Archaia Studios Press. It turned out these rumors were false, that in fact Archaia was in negotiations with the Chicago-based creative services company Kunoichi, a company co-founded by Blaylock.
CBR will bring you news on further developments as it becomes available.
Update 12/2/08 9:00 AM Pacific - CBR News reported previously that Editor Mike O'Sullivan had also been let go. According to O'Sullvian, who noted he has been working as a freelancer for the company, this is not entirely the case and things are "still up in the air" at this moment.

Monetary policy in the United States and the euro area during the crisis
In the wake of the two longer-term refinancing operations with a maturity of three years conducted in December 2011 and February 2012, amounts placed on the Eurosystem's deposit facility surged to unprecedented high levels of around € 800 billion. The article clarifies how this high recourse to the deposit facility should be interpreted. First, daily changes in the amounts being placed on the deposit facility should not necessarily be interpreted as daily changes in stress on the interbank market as there is a seasonal pattern in the use of the deposit facility. That seasonal pattern stems from the fact that Eurosystem counterparties have to meet a reserve requirement on an average basis. Hence, it is better to watch the money market liquidity surplus, defined as the sum of the recourse to the deposit facility and the current account holdings in excess of the required reserves, as a proxy for the central bank's intermediation role on the money market. Second, high recourse to the deposit facility is an automatic corollary to increased central bank liquidity provision because the relationship between the central bank and commercial banks can be seen as a closed system. Hence, as illustrated by some examples, large amounts being placed on the deposit facility are not informative as to whether or not the liquidity is actually "being put to use", for instance, to grant credit to the non-financial sector or to pay back maturing bank debt. A number of examples illustrate this.

Defining my true journey
Why and how do we connect with people? What do we look for in a role model? Serving on a panel at the espnW Summit Tuesday gave me more clarity on my own life, the decisions I am making and the confidence to keep BEING: mom, reporter, professional athlete, role model. The women who were sitting with me on our couch on our stage exemplified the word role model. We come from all walks of life: Peg Moline (Natural Health, Fit and Pregnancy Magazine), Donna Carpenter (founder Burton Snowboards), Sage Steele (ESPN SportsCenter host) and Molly Barker (founder Girls on The Run).
I opened up more to a room full of "strangers" than I do with my own family because of the depth and realism in the conversation. We weren't cliche, we talked about insecurities, about untraditional success, our fears, regrets. So how do we as women, and men, help each other and learn from one another? We get deep. We cut the crap. We don't act as if we are any different because I'm on a stage and you are in a folding chair. There were few who left the room with a dry eye because the only way to learn from one another is to let down our guard and talk about our TRUTHFUL journey -- not the fairytale.
What is my truthful journey? I am definitely in the heart of it with some difficult decisions happening in the next few months. But I walked away from espnW's most amazing Summit yet, feeling like I was surrounded by role models in every panel I attended, every workout I sweated out and every glass of wine I shared. And truthfully, those decisions surprisingly became incredibly simple. espnW is here to make the voices, truths and realities of the TRUE role models louder, more visible and more REAL. So it's not just the few hundred at a Summit who benefit.

Quoting 793. StormJunkie:
I don't think remnants of Chantal will enter the Gom from the So., as via the Yucatan Channel. I tend to agree with you, initially, too, that the mass will gravitate No. But, I think it may try to wrap around that little low in the straits of Fl. If so, I see it with little chance it will go anywhere but drift (slowly?) to the West, into the SE GOM.

Where do you go in a world of typical learners? This website has been a source of educational material as well as a location to read stories to know we are not alone on this atypical academic road. Start as early as you can and learn as much as you can so you can carry your "learning differenced " child to college and beyond

I have received emails from smart kids and I tell you, the information that is presented is always on time and relevant to my needs. I have a child with a learning disability. It's a GREAT resource and I hope to always have access. Thank you

As I teacher, I need as much knowledge and information as I can get my hands on. I can always depend on quality and thought provoking content in Smart Kids with LD. It is a must read for me every time I receive it. My students and parents benefit from the articles as well.

Smart Kids has helped me as a parent access important information for my child to succeed in school. Experts who are in the field of education and parenting have helped me be the most supportive parent of my ADHD child I can be. And what I learn is part of a continuum!
Smart Kids provided a life line at a time when our family needed it most. Our son was struggling significantly in school, and his needs were not being addressed successfully. We found a supportive community in Smart Kids and the research provided within the newsletters offered answers to some of our questions. Also, inspirational stories of adults with learning disabilities who achieved success offered comfort and hope to our son at a critical time in his life.
I can't recall how I learned about the website Smart Kids with Learning Disabilities, but I am so grateful that I did. I've found it full of informative articles about the issues that my children are dealing with, articles that not only provide great insight into their struggles, but also suggest helpful steps for dealing with them. This is a well-organized, obviously carefully thought-out site. Keep up the good work!
My son is profoundly dyslexic and has auditory processing issues. Smart Kids with Learning Disabilities is a great resource for parents trying to identify if their child has a LD and how to connect with others with LDs. with Smart Kids there is no reason for a parent to navigate the tricky waters of ensuring that his/her child gets everything that necessary for success in life. My son was the recipient of last year's Fred Epstein Award given by Smart Kids and he couldn't have been prouder. The gala was an amazing opportunity to meet so many accomplished people with LDs. It really had a positive impact on him.

Smart Kids With Learning Disabilities and ADHD has been the single most important organization that has helped me as a parent of a child with dyslexia and 3 children with ADHD. The information presented is always clear, understandable, and very empowering to me. With Smart Kids I have found a direction to assist my children and set them on a path to successful school experiences and terrific self awareness. And the information keeps coming, so the learning never stops.

I often feel as though the newsletters are written with my family in mind. Smart Kids is an insider's view that addresses issues in a research-based, compassionate way. I get a lot of support from this newsletter and have recommended it to many other families.

Both my boys are diagnosed ADHD. This group helps me to understand their learning differences and how best to parent them in a system that does not accommodate these differences. It has been a great resource for me.

Roberto Mancini believes that Carlos Tevez still has an important part to play in Manchester City's future, this season and beyond, after he helped the club into the FA Cup semi-finals.
Tevez scored a hat-trick - the fifth of his City career - and had a hand in two other goals as his side beat Championship club Barnsley in the quarter-finals to reach the Wembley semi-finals next month (april).
The Argentinian forward was arrested by Cheshire Police on Thursday on suspicion of driving while disqualified, an offence which carries with it a maximum prison sentence of six months.
But Tevez clearly did not let his off-field troubles affect his football as he showed how important he can be for Mancini's hopes of following last season's Premier League title with another trophy.
"It is important that Carlo (eds: correct) continues to score because we need his goals between now and the end of the season, for the league and also for the cup," said Mancini, who led City to FA Cup success in 2011.
"Afterwards, we don't know what will happen in the summer. Carlo has another year's contract and it depends on him. At this moment we can say nothing, our focus should be on the last two months.
"It depends on him. He has said many times he wants to go back to Argentina so it depends on him. But now, we don't need to think about this situation."
Mancini revealed that while he did consider not starting Tevez in the quarter-final, the uncertainty had nothing to do with the player's problems with the police.
"If it has had an affect on him, I hope the police can stop him every day, after he scored three goals," joked Mancini. "I hope they can do this next Friday!
"I didn't know anything about it until I saw it in the newspaper. I haven't spoken to him because I knew nothing. I read it in the newspaper and asked him if it was true. It is his problem, not our problem.
"I did have my doubts about whether to play him because I wanted to play with Edin (Dzeko) on his own up front to give Carlo maybe one more game rest but, afterwards, I decided to play with Edin and Carlo."
Tevez came off to a standing ovation after 76 minutes of the quarter-final, although it was a merely precautionary measure after the forward claimed he had suffered a minor injury.
"He asked for the change, maybe he was tired," said Mancini. "He told me he had a problem so I was just checking with him but I think he is okay."
City currently trail league leaders Manchester United by 12 points in the Premier League, leaving the FA Cup as their last realistic chance of winning honours this season, although Mancini still insists that, despite the attraction of at least one Wembley trip this season, his focus is still on the title.
"We hope to win another trophy but the Premier League is not finished," he said. "Why not? This is football.
"In the FA Cup we now have one game that can get us into the final and if we were to win the FA Cup, it would be important. It is always good to play at Wembley and we want to play there two more times if it's possible."

Made this this morning before work and left it for my son for breakfast. I enjoyed my glass and after school my son raved about it! He asked if there was cinnamon in it - thought it was a great taste addition! Thanks for the post. ZWT 2007
This is so good! I love that it's all fruit - no milk or yogurt. My smoothies turn out a bit more like lumpies because my blender is not quite powerful enough, but it's the taste we're after, right?? The cinnamon adds a lovely touch. Thank you for sharing!
Made this for DH as a treat one evening and he enjoyed it a lot. I had frozen strawberries so used those and fresh peaches. Love cinnamon so I did add a little more. Great smoothie Sharon and thank you so much for posting, will make this again soon.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Sep 01st, 2003
Running Time: 62
Director: Rick Savage
Company: Noose Video Productions
Distribution Companies: Legend
Cast: Mistress Tara Indiana, Mistress Mercy, Felix (I)
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Specialty
With the series.
Doughy, pale, pierced, tattooed slave Felix is back and the results aren't as interesting as some of the other entries in this series. It's shot pretty poorly in the first sequence, improving later.
A way too perky Mistress Mercy makes Felix pretend to be a puppy and it's OK play with Mercy joking about how "this movie is not ASPCA approved" while playing with the clips and weights on Felix's nipples. Felix gets to eat pork rinds and cigarette ashes out of a dog dish and eventually gets to eat a cigarette, butt and all. Yum. Tit smothering follows.
Mistress Tara Indiana shows up and the two ladies spit on him and make him into their ashtray. Ashes get deposited in his mouth and on his nuts while Felix happily worships Indiana's stilettos. They singe his chest hair and clean him off by shoving his face in a bidet. They finish off by binding him with white pantyhose and holding his head underwater in a bathtub.

Skip to comments.Michigan lawmakers worry about Mitt Romney
Posted on 02/21/2012 2:02:59 PM PST by Darren McCarty
Michigan lawmakers who have endorsed Mitt Romney are worried about his prospects in the state with only one week to go before the critical primary there.
Polling shows a tight race in Michigan, despite the fact Romney was born and raised there and his dad was a former Michigan governor. I think Romney is going to do a good job. Will he do enough to win as strong as he needs to in Michigan? It remains to be seen, said Michigan GOP Rep. Tim Walberg, who resides in the southeastern 7th District.
Concern among Romneys Capitol Hill backers hasnt yet risen to the level of all-out panic. Romney is still the favorite to win in a state he captured four years ago, his backers insist. But there exists a worry that a narrow Romney win in his native state would only raise concerns about his viability in the 2012 contest.
The problem, the members said, is simple: Romney has failed to stir the passions of the Republican faithful.
Theres obviously an element out there looking for an alternative, said GOP Rep. Bill Huizenga, a former state representative whose district encompasses part of western Michigan. Rep. Dan Benishek, a freshman from the socially conservative Upper Peninsula, was more direct in assessing the challenge Romney faces.
I wish he would be more passionate, said Benishek, a former Herman Cain supporter who switched to Romney after Cain dropped out. Thats always been my wish about Mitt.
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
None of these reps, including my own who I normally like, get it. It's about lack of passion. It's about people not supporting a guy that we can not trust. Which Mitt Romney is running? The anti-gun, pro-abortion, Romneycare candidate who ran for Massachusetts Governor? Or Romney 2.0 or 3.0 which appeared ironically when he decided to run for president. Either he lied about being a liberal or he lies now being a conservative.
All right, Michigan "lawmakers"...repeat after me....
RINOmney is a vapid dork.
RINOmney is a vapid dork.
Michigan is the land when old last names will always guarantee you a pack of wusses that will endorse you by default.
Not to mention that our liberals want to be like Karl Marx and our conservatives want to be like Gerald Ford.
They're not worried about Romney's prospects, they're worried about their own now that they've walked out onto a plank that Santorum is about to saw off.
"Tim, Tim, Tim, what were you thinking?"
He was thinking that with help from the head of the Not Taxed Enough Already Party, the governerd, Romney could make it over the line. Now.......not so much.
How clueless are these lawmakers? Since they refuse to look at his record, they couldn't handle if Mitt ever released his real passions.
I see a whole lot of people in the 11th hour pulling a Mike DeWine and switching their support over to Santorum. They will just say they didn't realize how weak Milt is like DeWine just did. No one wants to be backing a loser.
We are counting on the mid-west, including Michigan to send this RINO packing.
The Romney TV Sleaze attacks must be in high gear because I am - STILL - seeing attack ads against Santorum HERE IN FLORIDA! And when I go to the website of the "restoreourfuture.com showing the underhanded, misleading attacks against santorum, who do I see all over the website MITT ROMNEY! Big surprise.
So the Romney liars at "restorourfuture.com are trying to hit Rick so hard they are buying ads that even cover freaking FLORIDA when our primary is OVER - they must be covering every outlet with their distortions.
It's funny how little they have to use against Rick and all you can do as a viewer is watch in amazement if you compare the diminutive contentions to the socialist medicine scam and the codified albatross "Wheels for Welfare" program of Mitt. For thse deluded cult members to dare insinuate that Rick is the least bit left of Romney is just sad.
The thrill is gone Lucille...
Romney is to Passionate, as Moochelle is to Sexy, their is somethings you cannot change, he ain't got it.
"Concern among Romneys Capitol Hill backers hasnt yet risen to the level of all-out panic."
It's not dark yet but it's getting there - Dylan
LOL the Romney campaign generates the excitement of a mid September baseball game between two teams 20 games out of first place.
Hmmmm... I wonder if Randy Richardville and Thaddeus I voted for the NDAA are in the same loosing camp..
I've written to Walberg and expressed my displeasure with his endorsement of Romney.
Randy Richardville needs to go, period. He's one of the SOBs who co sponsored the bill that brought about the forced unionization of child care workers. His Uncle Khann got $5000 from the SEIU the day it passed.
Good. That means that in their offices, their correspondence, in cafes and on street corners their constituents are ripping Mitt a new one.
"a former Herman Cain supporter who switched to Romney after Cain dropped out"
They must have found the only one...?
He obviously likes businessmen.
The problem, the members said, is simple: Romney has failed to stir the passions of the Republican faithful.
I am really sick of these PEOPLE insulting us like this. They are insinuating that if Romney just made more rousing speeches, then we would abandon our basic sense and support him.
These RINOs expose what they themselves are by their saying this. They dont understand that we will not vote for Romney because no matter what he says or how passionately he may say it he is a liberal and does not mean it!
They dont understand that we are rational, logical people. Thats why we are conservatives. We are not impetuous like these RINOs, susceptible to crushes like they are. I hear it all day long by these people on Fox like Rove and Coulter. They just dont get it.
I've seen Romney be passionate. Unfortunately, it was when he was running for Senator and Governor of MA and defending his liberalism.
Or, as June Cleaver used to say, "Ward, I'm worried about the Beaver."
I was a little upset to learn today that my rep. McCotter is a Romney supporter.
I heard Thad in an interview today say that he was supporting Romney for the nomination.
Walberg's my rep. He's backing him too. Surprised me and not in a good way.
Looks like Republicans are screwed in 2012 with no one able to carry our banner. We are going to have to learn to compromise and trust at least far enough to hold onto the house.
Newt can't win, and odds are against even Mitt a this point. Santorim never had much of a shot, and nobody else has yet emerged with the resources & message nessary to take on Obama and his backers.
Resources are the big issue here, not just anyone can do this. Obama has spent the last 2 years funneling our Federal Tax & debt dollars into the hands of his supporters. He has a massive machine, and a even more massive base of slave vote dependence.
To even compete with that we will need a massive machine of our own, and brad enough appeal & passion to convince some of his welfare slaves to attempt to escape.
Points very well taken.
Mitt will never get that guy in Iowa in the rain, soaked with the C4P shirt on...
That guy? He is us, we can see Mitt is not Conservative.
But we could have gotten very passionate if Sarah threw her hat in the Ring. We we passionate about her because she was a Passionate Conservative, not some Carpetbagger trying to appeal to everyone, we can see though that crap, to all those you mentioned it is all about process and vaniety nothing about the core...
Because that's where his passion is!
Remember when asked about his conservative accomplishments - he said his five kids and marriage. Why he isn't laughed off the debate/this campaign, I'll never know. What a farce!
There are pro Mittens ads on TV in Wisconsin. WTH?
Er..I meant "anti Santorum"...Nothing "pro" about Mittens..ever.

For those of us not fortunate enough to live in a tropical paradise, we're forced to brave the winter cold each time we step outside. For some, this conflicts with our fitness goals.
February 09, 2015 / Category: Fitness Advisor
So you enjoy your cardio workout in the sweet sunshine of the spring and summer months to get your sweat on? But what happens when winter puts a temporary freeze on your outdoor routine?
March 04, 2014 / Category: Fitness Advisor
Shoveling snow, scraping windshields and running from the car to the office burns calories, but enough is enough. We can't take it anymore, winter! We're tired. We're cold. We want spring! But alas, it's only March.

Ice machine shopping is a lot like playing Goldilocks, looking for her perfect pot of porridge – "this one is too big, this one is small."
The 60 lb Self-Contained Cube Ice Machine (HISU050) from Ice-O-Matic?
Just right.
This compact machine puts the convenience of fresh, crystal clear ice, right under the counter and within reach. The evaporator is horizontally mounted, and water is sprayed upward.

Learning Objectives
After completion of this chapter, you should be able to
Learning how to program is more than just writing code. It is really about computational thinking. Computational thinking is hard to define, but at its core is careful reasoning about methods of doing things. Another name for methods is algorithms.
Many consider computational thinking as a fundamental skill on par with reading, writing, and arithmetic.
Java was designed by Sun Microsystems in the early 1990s develop a new technology for programming next generation smart appliances, which Sun expected to be a major new opportunity.
Java was successful, both because of Sun's persistence marketing, but also because there was a need for a language with its characteristics.
(OO) programming methodology
Java is used by programmers to write several types of applications
We can view programs as a complete set of instructions (known as an algorithm) to accomplish some task.
The level of detail of the instructions depends ... (on a lot of things)
There are four programming language levels
The level of abstraction increases with each programming language level.
High-level programming languages allow programmers to write instructions at a high level of abstraction with less low-level detail.
Object-oriented (OO) languages allow programmers to add new abstractions to the programming language. This is similar to creating new words to stand for complicated concepts in English.
In Java, these new high-level abstractions are referred to as classes. When we use these high-level abstractions (classes) in programs, we call them objects.
The Java Developers Kit (JDK) is a collection of free software available from Sun containing the Java compiler (javac.exe) and Java Virtual Machine (java.exe).
jGRASP is a programming editor and environment that allows you to type in your source code program, compile it using the Java compiler, and run it using the Java Virtual Machine.
jGRASP's toolbars and menus provide a convenient way to access the Java JDK. While, we could access the Java JDK through commands entered at a DOS prompt, combining editing, compiling, debugging, and execution into one integrated development environment (IDE) simplifies the process.
Most programming languages share a set of common elements
A programming language specifies the words, symbols and rules that we can use to write a program (the syntax).
Java Programs are object-oriented programs and
The Java compiler translates Java source code into a special representation called bytecode. Java bytecode is not the same as machine language designed to run on a particular CPU, but a general low-level language designed to run on the Java Virtual Machine.
Another software tool, called the Java Virtual Machine, takes the Java bytecode and executes it on the particular computer.
Therefore, both the Java compiler and bytecode are not tied to any particular CPU or machine. We call this being architecturally-neutral. In theory, write-once and run everywhere: Platform independence

On the orthogonality of rabbit and duckMonday, February 1st, 2016

Graduates Matthew Owen and John Kaup stood outside the gymnasium at Rosman High School in their caps and gowns Saturday morning posing for photographs with fellow graduate Jenny Stephens.
With Owen and Kaup headed for the military and Stephens for college, they said graduation day might be one of the last times they will spend with friends in the close-knit community.
"I'm excited. But I'm also really sad," Stephens said. "I've gone to school with most of these people since third-grade. I like being a small town because you get to know everyone."
The three were among 61 students who graduated Saturday from the small high school in Transylvania County.
Owen, 19, said he was looking forward to reporting for duty in the Navy in February. He said he wanted to travel and plans to train as an aviation mechanic.
"It's good to be getting out of school," he said. "There are not many jobs around here anymore."
Kaup, 18, said he reports to the Air Force in December and plans to work in the disposal of explosives. An uncle who works in the Pentagon sparked his interest in the military, he said.
Stephens said she planned to attend Blue Ridge Community College before going to a university to study surgical technology. She said she took as many pictures as she could at graduation to remember all the friends she made in school.
Graduates mingled with friends and family inside the E.F. Tilson Memorial Gymnasium before graduation ceremonies began Saturday. Many held single roses in their hands as they hugged each other and their parents. A few of the young men and women cried a little as the ceremony began and they made their way to their seats.
The commencement exercises included student speeches, the presentation of awards and scholarships and a special recognition for outgoing principal Ron Rudd.
Rudd will move next year to become Transylvania County's director of curriculum and instruction. Rudd, 50, has been principal at the school since 1994. Larry Clayton, 54, will begin work next year as the school's new principal. He has been an assistant principal since 1997.
In her valedictory address, graduate Ashley Raxter told her classmates they were being released from the "sheltering hands" of high school and that it was difficult to say goodbye.
"This is our roots. It has molded us into the unique individuals we are today," she said.
But Raxter said the graduates will always have a home in Rosman to come back to no matter how far they travel from the community.

Dear W.C.,
I am a single mom raising my daughter on my own. I escaped an extremely abusive husband in another state and moved to Wisconsin. I had hoped the job market would be better here than where I used to live. It definitely is not. We had talked about me going to college before we got married but as soon as I said I do, his whole personality changed.
He decided I needed to start working right away to pay for our rent and utilities. He claimed he could never find a job and was relying on me to support us. When I complained about his sitting around the house all day, drinking and not job hunting, he became abusive. He was careful to always hit me where bruises wouldn't show. He didn't want me to miss a day's work. He would take my paycheck from me and all my tips every night. I started hiding some of my tips when I had a good night. If I didn't bring home enough in tips he would become angry and tell me I was lazy.
We were always without food and many times our rent or utilities weren't paid because he would spend the money on drinking or gambling. When we were short money for the month it was always my fault that I wasn't working hard enough. He made me get another job to bring in more money for him to waste. He would abuse me and hurt me. He told me since I was his wife he was legally in his rights. When I became pregnant he was furious. He yelled at me and kicked me several times.
What should have been the happiest day of our marriage became the worst day of my life. His cruel abuse was at its worst. When I realized the cruelty was not going to stop, and constant threats of killing me and our unborn child, I knew the only way out was to run away. He did not know I had an aunt in Wisconsin. I did not know where else to go.
I have since had my baby while living at my aunt's one bedroom apartment. She cannot keep me here forever as she is struggling herself. I cry every night worrying about our future. Can you offer any help or direction?
Feeling Lost
Dear Readers,
I really struggle emotionally when I read letters detailing abusive relationships. It is even more upsetting when children are involved. We really need to do more to protect our women and children from these abusive situations. They are often much too afraid to ask for protection themselves due to fear and the lack of laws to truly protect women.
This single mother did what she could to save herself and her unborn child. She told me her husband was a monster and should have been in jail for the treatment she received. As soon as he swept her off her feet and they were married he took her away from all her friends and family and moved her to another state. Her mother and father died when she was a child. The husband did not allow her to have friends or visitors. She was only allowed out of the house for work and he drove her there.
Even when he was too drunk to drive he insisted. If she commented on his drunken state as he drove she was guaranteed another punishment. I can't imagine the psychological as well as physical damage she sustained. The pregnancy did not stop him from his cruelty. He found other ways to torture her. She knew if she called the police and he was let out of jail he would punish her. The only way out she knew of was to write a letter to her aunt she hadn't seen since she was a child. She told her aunt not to write her back but gave her the restaurant's phone number where she worked.
Her aunt called and they immediately formed a bond. Her aunt helped her to plan her escape and drove many hours to pick her up and bring her to safety. Their plan worked but it left the wife without a job and very pregnant. The aunt helped her to see a doctor, and stayed with her as she delivered a healthy baby. The aunt brought her to a lawyer who was a family friend. The lawyer gave her some temporary work and filed for the divorce.
The aunt is struggling to keep them all fed and housed in her one bedroom apartment on her limited Social Security income and a part time job. They have applied for assistance but it is impossible to obtain at this time. The mother receives some assistance for the baby's needs, but nothing for housing or utilities.
When I spoke to the mother I asked what she is looking for in a job. Her reply was anything she could find that would pay the bills. She did not want to use her previous job as a reference in fear her ex-husband would come looking for her. I asked her if she liked working in the attorney's office. Her face lit up and with a smile she assured me she would love to continue there. I asked her if she had asked them if there would be a full-time job available for her. She had not. I encouraged her to ask them for a job. When we spoke a few days later she was very excited to report they loved how she had organized their office and were hiring her. She was so excited she started crying, thanking God.
The aunt received an eviction notice for having too many people living in her small apartment. I immediately contacted the landlord. The landlord agreed to not evict the elderly aunt if the niece would vacate the apartment.
The Time Is Now To Help helped the mother find a small one bedroom apartment, not that far from her aunt. We supplied the security deposit and first month's rent. We also helped her to get her utilities connected. She could not believe a complete stranger would be so kind to her and her baby. I reminded her it was not just I but the many wonderful supporters of The Time Is Now that gave her the helping hand she needed. She offered many tearful thank you's to everyone.
Since her new beginning she has become a much more confident woman. She no longer looks to the floor when we speak. The aunt says she even sees an occasional smile, mostly when she is looking at her beautiful baby. She has many emotional scars. But her life has been made easier for now by your Caring and Sharing. Together we, and her aunt, freed her from the physical and mental bondage of abuse and poverty. God Bless all of you for helping our fellow creations.
Please help. Please consider donating at this time as every dollar you donate will be matched by another, doubling your donation by the Richard Driehaus Matching Grant. Thank you for caring and sharing. Together we make a big difference helping our fellow creations of God.
Health & Happiness, God Bless Everyone, W.C.
