D 100 Vs D1X
What would be the difference in picture quality between the D 100 and the D1X? If you say the D1X is better, how much better ? Is the extra cost justified? Mind you , I am refering only to the picture quality and not any other (important) feature. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Comparing the D100 and the D1X is comparing apples with oranges but if you are ONLY looking at picture quality then the extra cost is not justisfied and you might as well get the D100. In the same light, if you are ONLY looking at picture quality between a Nikon N80 ($424 US/B&H Photo) and a F5 ($1929 US/B&H Photo), then the price difference is REALLY not worth it. In both cases, it is the difference between getting a consumer grade camera and a professional grade camera and you cannot stop at picture quality when comparing the two.

Thank you Mel.
When you say that comparing D 100 to D1X is like comparing apples to oranges, I presume you are saying D1X is superior. O.K. My question is-- how much superior? If you have two identical photographs, would one be able to say which is with which camera? With D100s higher mega pixel, would not the images be sharper/better? Your reply would be appreciated. Thanks again.

Sorry but I can´t see the point of the question.
You can compare picture results as a final product but you are leaving so much behind.
If you want, a prodigital analist WILL tell you that the image quality of both D100 and D1x is the same or perhaps the D100 better. But in the same direction any pro-film shooter Will tell you that the image quality of a negative from a Nikon F is the same or even better than the one taken with an F5.
I think that what makes the difference is the built-in quality, versatility, options and personal use of the camera.
To make a comparisson: Is a Ferrary better than a ChevyTruck? Depend on what you are going to use It. If you are going to travel only highway, get the ferrari, If you are going to pack lots of stuff and travel in mud: get the ChevyTruck!!!
If you only want to get very good Digital Images get a D100.
If you want a camera that not only takes great digital shots, but accepts all Nikon family lens, can connect to a GPS, has a faster autofocus, bla, bla ,bla.....Get a D1x!!!
It´s that simple, I gues comparisson between the cameras is not the aim, I think you should first look at what you need and then look after the product that can solve your issues at the less cost.At least that´s the way I think when I plan shopping Photo Stuff.
Hope this answers your question,

Judging by the specs and preliminary reviews. D100 images are as good as the D1X images, equaling in lower ISO and slightly less in higher ISO. Allot of D1X user's are getting the D100 as a back up camera.
Where the price difference occures is D1X is built for commercial use plus extras like 1/500 sec flash sync 1/16000 second shutter speed. Like Timex watches they can take a licking and come up ticking. The amount of pictures a D1X can take before breaking down or wearing out is many times more then the D100.
The Nikon D100, Fuji S2 and Canon D60 DSLR are masterpieces of technology. Having the power of a Pro DSLR at the sizes of Film SLRs. It will be the lens(good ones/bad ones) the determines image quality.

I think you could get your point across with a much less condescending tone, and you could have added something constructive as well.
As the owner of a D1 and D100, and having used a D1X, I agree with the statement, althought I'd state it a little more conditionally.
Even thought I've only owned my D100 for about three weeks, if durability and survivability of the camera were primary concerns (e.g. if I were a PJ apt to cover all types of events in all types of conditions) I wouldn't think twice about paying the extra $3000 for the D1X over the D100.
If I were an event shooter that takes over 10,000 frames on a weekend (and I know one who does exactly that) I would also readily go for the D1X over the D100.
I am currently in the process of trying to do some comparisons of D100 vs D1X shots. As far as picture quality is concerned, I'm having an extremely hard time finding any difference.

Nikon assigned a durability rating to the D100. Measured in exposure cylces for the shutter mechanism. Thats only one of measurements of what makes a camera durable.
The D100 is built similarly to a F80. The D1s built like an F5 & (Having features of an F100). Compare the durability of a F80 to an F5, both have field exsposure. I did assume without direct knowledge of statistics, just an understanding. F5 is one rugged camera compared to an F80. Adding similarities to the film counterparts. Err go D1s is one rugged camera compared to a D100. Something a price can justify over image quality.
Not even being a Pro, I routinely take five thousand pictures over a weekend at Dog Shows. Thats only the German Shepherd dogs. Personal experience is I replaced an N70 with a D1 I cannont see taking that many pictures with an equivalent digital of an N70 without going bust.
One dog, one class, one hundred pictures.
Twenty eight dogs, tweleve classes, three champion rounds. Same routine the second day.
Not going to compare D1x to D100. But the D100 is right on the mark, seriously considering a second DSLR. Sure like the small size and weight of it. And use it as a primary camera.

Hi, I have the 3.5.1 version of WP and just installed this plugin, but I can't manage it, I only see the widgets but I don't have any ads ID to fill them with.
What's wrong?
Hi, I have the 3.5.1 version of WP and just installed this plugin, but I can't manage it, I only see the widgets but I don't have any ads ID to fill them with.
What's wrong?
Did you create adverts? Or groups?
No, I don't get anything to work with besides widgets... nothing on my dashboard.
It's not a Multisite.
My site is on Manteinance Mode, of course I tried deactivating that and every other plugin and nothing changes.
So if you want to check it, tell me where I can send passwords or something.
This in a screeenshot of the plugins page:
You should have a new menu in the left sidebar named "AdRotate".
I imagined that, I can't upload an image here, but I put a link in the wrong way, check this link:
is a screenshot of my dashboard with the plugin activated... there's no new menu in the left sidebar named "AdRotate", that's my problem.
What can be the problem?
Strange, perhaps another plugin interfering.
AdRotate should appear above the Yalin Options menu... Perhaps that's the culprit.
Some plugins like the highjack the menu array and just alter that instead of follow the actual rules.
I deactivated all the plugins, the manteinance mode and everything, and nothing changed... :(
That's odd.
Try removing AdRotate and installing it again.
Maybe change to the default theme and see if that helps (Some themes functions.php has code that alters the menus)
Ok, it was the theme, it's already approved so I can't change it...
Do you know what kind of code or what is it calling in the functions.php file that could be altering the menus?
I don't know if I could recognize that :/
That can be code in many shapes and sizes. I'd have to see it to make sure.
I can probably rewrite that code too so it works as you'd expect.
Usually such things take no longer than an hour to track down and sort out.

I started Kenalog shots in November 2011 for the hair loss. About three months ago I started to feel exhausted all the time. I went to the doctor who said I needed to see an endocrinologist. After much run around from the Health Insurance company Humana I finally got an appointment with an endocrinologist with the help of my family doctor. She ordered extensive blood work and it was found that I have a chronic condition called adrenal supression almost certainly caused by the shots for the hair loss. I have looked on the web for medical information about these side affects and found very little. There is quite a lot of information on adrenal suppression which talks about the impact of the steroid shots. Unfortunately, at that point it was too late. I now have to wait to see if the adrenal functions come back by themselves if not I may have to take cortisone for the rest of my life which is a frightening prospect. I can no longer have the shots for the hairloss and quite frankly at this point I would rather be faced with wearing wig forever than feel like I do.
I was totally moved by this girls story. I was devastated by my hair loss I simply cannot imagine if it happened at only 19 years old. Her story is one of courage, acceptance and resiliance good for her I wish her so much success. It is so encouraging to see her take her wig off an show off her new hair.
It is now March 2011 and my hair has started to grow back. Most of the new hair is white mixed with my dark hair color it is pretty hideous.
I also cannot color it therefore I had to purchase yet another wig. I was travelling to New York on business and knew I could not wear a hat all the time. This time I visited a wig shop just off Scottsdale and Shea called ………. The owner Nancy was wonderful and all fittings were done in a private room. She fitted me with a very nice mono wig another $385. She was very understanding and clearly understood the trauma a woman goes through when losing her hair.
The hair on the top and front of my head has started to grow back. The hair on the left hand side at the back is also returning but not on the right. I see the dermatologist again on the 6th of April and hopefully she can concentrate the treatment on the right hand side and hopefully it will also start to grow back. I will report back after the visit.
I am now resigned to wearing a wig or a hat through the Arizona summer which I am not looking forward to. My hair is currently how can I put it well ugly and it will be a long time before there is enough to style and color. I am very nervous about coloring as the complete loss in January was followed by a color treatment. I only use natural color from Whole Foods which does not contain any ammonia so if that is a problem then I would be incredibly nervous about using a commercial product.
I have asked my Dermatologist Nicole Madera to write a detailed piece on the treatments I have had as at this point it seems the only treatment I have had which made any difference are the cortisone shots. Costisone shots in your head every month really hurt but it beats being bald.
About 1 week after I purchased my second wig I was at a barbeque. It was chilly and there were lots of heaters around. Without realizing I was standing close to one of these heaters and when I got home my wig had literally melted on the top of my head.
I was furious there are no warnings on the wig and I could have literally caught fire. I returned to the store at Paradise Valley Mall. I encountered a very rude and insensitive sales assistant. The assistant looked at me as if I was completely stupid for not realizing that I could not stand near direct heat wearing a nylon wig. Of course I did not it's not like I stuck my head in a fire I was standing around at a party. When I told her the assistant who had sold me the wig had not given me sufficient warning she started shouting at me saying of course she did. I asked her if she was there when her colleague sold me the wig (she was not) she still insisted that they do not sell wigs without giving the usual warnings. I then asked her why her sister shop at Cactus and Tatum did not give me any warning either she really started shouting and told me she was busy. I then asked why there was no warning on the wig and she proceeded to ignore me while starting an argument with another customer in the store who was trying on a wig without her help. I was upset and angry and decided that I could not face buying another wig any time soon. These chain store wig shops care nothing about a woman losing her hair just remember that when you walk in you are simply commission to them
When I returned from England I visited the dermatologist again for more shots. This time she did comment that things seemed to be getting worse and it was likely I would lose all my hair but it was a good sign that I still had my eyebrows. Now I was alarmed and by January 22nd not only was the back of my head completely bald but the front had large bald patches. I could no longer go out without a wig or a hat. I was trying to be brave and console myself that at least I was not losing my hair because of cancer treatment.
It was then I decided to buy another wig. This time I visited a wig shop in Paradise Valley Mall called Wigs Boutique the lady was very helpful and advised me that the shop I originally bought my wig in did not know what they were talking about and they had ruined my original wig "snipping the bangs". It did not seem to matter that both stores were owned by the same person.
I then discovered a few things about wigs. Real hair wigs need to be styled like your own hair and since I had to suffer the inconvenience of wearing a wig I was not going to do that. Natural hair wigs are also very expensive about $700 for the ones she had in stock. I was then shown a Monofilament wig which is a very light weight wig which does not feel so heavy on your head. I purchased one of these almost another $400. This wig I liked and felt that I could wear it more as it felt much more comfortable. I got lots of compliments about my "new look" and I was finally coming to terms with the fact that I was in for a long haul.
In August of 2010 I started to notice some thinning hair. I was on the drug Humira for arthritis and as I was already having a bad reaction to the drug with elevated liver enzymes, I was taken off the drug by my rheumatologist. I had taken methrotraxate 10 years earlier and I had also experienced thinning hair therefore I immediately connected the two. I stopped taking humira in August. My hair continued to be thin but without significant loss therefore I thought I had seen the end of it.
Nothing could have prepared me for the events of the next few months. Around October that year my life became very busy with work and personal issues and my stress levels went through the roof. In November around thanksgiving things started to calm down a little and many of the issues causing the stress were under control. On Thanksgiving day 2010 I was taking a shower and noticed large clumps of hair coming off in my hands as I washed my hair. The shower bed was covered in hair. I checked the pillow I had been asleep on and noticed substantial amounts of hair on the pillow. I rushed to the bathroom and using a hand mirror checked the back of my head. I was completely bald. I was totally shocked and tried to blow dry my hair so that it covered the bald spots which was reasonably successful. After Thanksgiving I visited a dermatologist. I had suffered from alopecia 11 years earlier and cortisone shots had been very effective. The dermatologist started a course of treatment with kenalog shots in the scalp. To back track a little in Spring 2010 I had embarked on a health and fitness regime to address my arthritis problems. I was on an all organic diet and exercising regularly. I had not been this healthy physically since I was in my twenties. I was not too comfortable with the shots but I knew they worked for my previous experience and was willing to try them. I travelled to London for Christmas and although my hair was very thin and bald at the back I still looked like I had hair and I thought the worst was over.
The dermatologist did advise that it looked like I had an extreme case of alopecia and I might need to purchase a wig. I was horrified but did not want to wake up completely bald with no back up plan so on the way home from the dermatologist I purchased my first wig.
I plan on documenting the whole story with hopefully some humor to help other women and share my experience and hope. It is now March 2011 and I am still struggling with the condition. I have no medical answers and I recentlly pruchased my third wig. When men lose their hair its almost a badge of honor when women lose their hair there is an almost instant feeling of guilt as women are not supposed to lose their hair right? At this time I have no answers and I hope I will find some to share on this blog while I go through the process of hopefully one day getting my hair back.

This is a common problem, especially in females. Have you tried doing Kegal exercises to strengthen the muscles? What you do, if you are not familiar, is to squeeze the muscles down there like you are cutting off your urine flow. Squeeze them as hard as you can, then hold starting for 15-30 seconds or however long you can hold, but try to work your way up to 30-60 seconds at a time, then relax the muscles. Do this in repetition for several reps and try to do it several times a day. No one can tell you are doing it so you can do it while watching TV, riding in the car, waiting in line at the store-wherever. After you have been doing this several times a day for a few weeks, you may begin to see improvement in your ability to hold your urine better. Kegal exercises are very effective for many people because it helps you to strengthen those muscles that have gotten weak from age, (and having babies if you are female) You may also consult a urologist if doing Kegals doesnt seem to be making any difference after a few weeks. There are many treatments for this depending on the cause. There are medications that can help, and also some minor procedures, all the way up to surgery for it. Surgery can be necessary if your bladder has prolapsed. A urologist will be able to diagnose what is actually causing the problem, whether it is just weak muscles or something more serious like a prolapsed (or fallen) bladder.
Hi there,
I had 2 children and am very flexible. I had to have surgery because kegels would not help me. I had my uterus taken out too so I would have less weight on my bladder. I was done having kids, you don't have to have it out. I'm glad I did because it also stop your period for the rest of your life of coursre. It depends how old you are too. I was 42. I had a few surgeries done while he was in there. Everything was lifed front to back. Now it's been 8 years and I need to get it done again except this time he is going to put a sling to hold my bladder up. He thought it would last much longer time. But I'm flexible so things stretch easily in me. Call your Gynecologist for info. That's who did mine. He will also refer you to a Urologist.
Good luck and take care,

Wolfner :: Reader Services :: Equipment and Accessories :: The Easy Cassette Machine
These instructions are for operating the Easy Machine in the automatic mode. Check to see that the automatic-manual switch on the righthand side near the back of the machine (labeled A-M) is set on A, automatic. Make sure the machine is plugged into an electrical outlet.
There are two ways to stop the Easy Machine while the cassette is in the machine. These methods allow you to continue play at the point where you stopped.
Both methods interrupt tape play. To resume play, either close the cassette door or slide the volume control to the right. If you remove the cassette and replace it later, the machine automatically rewinds the tape to the beginning. Do not remove the cassette if you want to continue from the point where you stopped.
Each cassette can play nonstop for up to 6 hours, because the machine automatically switches from one side of the tape to another without the need for setting a switch or turning the cassette over. The Easy Machine is the only one with this feature. On National Library Service (NLS) cassettes, the narrator instructs you to turn the cassette over at the end of a side. Because the tapes are recorded to play on all NLS cassette machines, you will continue to hear the narrator's instructions to turn the cassette over or to change the side selector switch at the end of each side. Ignore these instructions with the Easy Machine.
Note: When the tape switches from one side to another, there are 30 seconds of silence before the reading begins again.
The review key lets you relisten to passages of the tape, but only on the side that you are currently playing. If you wish to review a passage:
About 12 seconds after narration ends on the last recorded side of a tape, you hear a long tone. Then the machine stops. To remove the cassette:
The automatic-manual switch (labeled A-M) is located on the right-hand side, near the back of the machine. This switch selects whether the machine changes tape sides automatically or manually. The "S" side-advance button is next to the "A-M" switch and is labeled with a raised "S." The proceeding operating instructions are for play when the A-M switch is set on "A," automatic.
In the "M" manual mode, the machine beeps and tape stops at the end of a side. The machine does not advance automatically to the next side. To review that side of the tape, press the review key on the front of the machine. To go to the next side of the tape, push the "S," side-advance button, for 2 seconds. After 2 seconds, a long tone sounds until the button is released. When the button is released, a series of beeps indicates the side number that will begin play.
The "S" side-advance button can also be used to advance the tape when the machine is in the "A" automatic mode. To identify which side you are listening to during tape play, simply push in the "S" button and release it immediately; the machine indicates the tape side number by beeping that number of times.

I ordered this guard and received it in about a week. As with other posts regarding the installation instructions, it took a little time to fully understand the process, but honestly, not bad. The one thing to be aware of is that I have the Denali and the grill is different than on the regular Sierra. I had to cut small sections of it out to allow for the upper bracket installation. It was not a big deal and would have gone a tad faster if the instructions allowed for this minor modification.

Does Kellogg's have tours of their facility?
I will be visiting Battle Creek next week and would like to tour the Kellogg's factory.
This topic is no longer open for comments or replies.
EMPLOYEE0Jessica (Official Rep) January 18, 2013 13:53Good morning U- tours of our plant in Battle Creek, Michigan began in 1906 and were offered to the public for many years. Unfortunately, for both safety and security reasons, we ended our plant tours in 1986. I apologize, nevertheless please enjoy your upcoming visit to Battle Creek, we welcome you!
Sorry to hear that-I am sure it was a great learning and educational experience. We still would like to visit in the area of Battle Creek in May.
This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled
Is there a place where we can see cereal being produced and we can tour the plant>.
I took the tour with my parents in 1962. We saw the entire corn flake process from rail car loads of corn to packaging. We even got to taste the wet flakes before they were dried. I was looking forward to going again and see what the process changes have been in 50 years. Sorry to learn that's not possible. We toured the Ford plant in Detroit on the same trip. It was very memorable.
Steve (Official Rep) May 30, 2013 13:00Hi Bill – thanks for sharing how much you enjoyed the plant tour. It was not an easy decision to stop offering the tours but the issues related to safety and security did not leave us much choice.
Regarding our cooking processes, I would invite you to check out the videos we have available at: http://www.kelloggs.com/en_US/simpleg... .
In years past I had the opportunity to take Kids from a tour company out of New York city on plant tours Now that I have a son of my own ( 10 yrs old ) I thought that going to Kellogg's Plant would be a great learning experience for him I was wondering if there is something similar in the Area
As a kid growing up, I wrote a letter to Kellogg and they sent me a letter inviting me to tour their Battle Creek factory. I always wanted to go. Now almost 50 years later, I finally get the chance to travel to Battle Creek only to hear that there are no more tours. I feel that little 7 year kid inside of me shed a tear.
Too bad Kellogg's doesn't give factory tours anymore. Seems like TV shows are about the only option for seeing industrial processes in action.

Other Thoughts: First impressions are "Wow this thing is svelte!". It is very thin and light for a 13" notebook. So easy to carry around and people are always looking at me asking 'what kind of MacBook is that?'.
Even tho this is a refurb it looks and operates like one straight from the factory. With the included mouse and output dongles this is a very nice laptop for the price.

My purchase of this Wobble Socket Extension set was not a planned act; it was caused by the inability of every other tool I have gathered in over fifty years to do the job I needed done! The rear spark plug on the right-hand side of the big vee-eight in a 2007 GMC Denali was obviously installed BEFORE the engine was placed in the vehicle by GM because it is almost impossible to get a plug wrench on it to remove the thing due to the proximity of a whole lot of very important metal objects. Undoubtedly my GMC dealer has some gadget just made to do the job (and that is why he can charge "big-bux" to change the plugs on these vehicles) but I didn't until I visited my local Harbor Freight and found this set of wobble extensions. Sure, I really needed only one of the 9 extensions but I have no doubt that the others will also fill a need sometime and I'll be very glad I have them. Once again Harbor Freight has the right tool at a great price with decent quality and that's why I keep going back and always will.

I work in the my private garage on my vehicles as well as those of a few family members and friends. I also do some small powered equipment work. I guess I am basically a hobbyist, handyman. Until recently I tried to stay with the big name tools but they have priced themselves out of business in my garage. So I thought I would buy some Pittsburg tools. Smart move for sure. This particular set looks as good as the big name brands and so far have proved to be able everything to handle everything that I have thrown at them. Time will tell the big story but so far, I am happy.

West forecast
A look at weather conditions in the West, updated twice each day.
andrew: Weiner is a man with a seriously bad case of perverted behavior. He has lost his career, and now his marriage because this sickness is stronger than he is. Donald Trump is a man with a seriously bad case of egotistical behavior that is leaving many people around the country stunned at his behavior and the danger that he presents to our country. The media will crucify Weiner before this is over and by the time election day is over Donald Trump will have painted his name in infamy. Those of us with any sense should sit back and watch this show with just a touch of sadness in our hearts for two deeply troubled lives.

White Kitchens: The Absence of Color
For me, there can be a never-ending discussion on the virtues and properties of the white kitchen. We call a white kitchen classic. White IS a classic in kitchen design, for decades, and at this moment, a white kitchen is only getting more popular with homeowners. What's not to like — white is crisp, clean, classic, light reflective, and it seems to lift up the spirits, doesn't it?
I'm convinced that white kitchens had a resurgence after the movie As Good As It Gets. If you're a design blog junkie, you've seen a statement similar to this over and over. But it's true. Today's American white kitchen, if done in a traditional design, has a far more simple point of view than just before this movie came on to the scene. The cabinet lines are more simple, the whites are slightly warm or more pure white, the glazes of past years are mostly gone.
White in the kitchen has its pros and cons, and I find my clients do gloss over the cons, so here are a couple to be aware of:
• Number one, always, is maintenance. White, in any material...wood, glazed, laminate, gloss, will eventually show wear. Any white cabinet material will be a real challenge to repair, if it even can be. White ages and changes color, as do all surfaces of cabinetry, painted and non painted. In that respect, white is not unique, but, the problems, be they small or large, are far more visible with white. If you need perfection in your finish, if you are not the neatest person, cook, entertain frequently and/or you have one or more children, white may not be the best choice. You'll be stressed if you are a perfectionist.
• The second con, as I've observed it in my practice as a kitchen designer, is one's desire to have a "white kitchen" without consideration to white (or no other white) in the context of the surrounding rooms, especially if the kitchen is part of an open great room, whether in a house or in an apartment. Think carefully if you want a white kitchen to call attention to itself. It will stand out and may not flow from one space to the next. It will say "the kitchen is HERE." Should you not have a white kitchen if your other rooms are more subdued in color? I do not like "shoulds" as a rule...but the awareness of flow should be in place before a decision is made.
• The first consideration, when using white, is to determine what "color" of white do you want? Do you want undertones of blue, grey, yellow, pink, or as pure white as possible? White is best seen in context with other whites in order to better see the color within each white. I often grab a piece of white bond paper to view next to white paint chips I am considering to be aware of the subtleties of all of the whites. This will be helpful if you plan to use white in multiple materials within the kitchen.
Ultimately, if you can gather all whites together before final decisions/orders are made, and view these colors at different times of the day in your own lighting, you'll have a great idea of what to expect when these whites are installed. If you will have large blocks of color or neutrals next to a white element, look at that too and see how it works with whites of different colored undertones. I definitely have found that ever-so-slightly softer whites can appear far brighter than you expect.
Do not drive yourself crazy, however — if you are mixing white materials, you will never get a matched set of whites in terms of subtle white color and tone. And that doesn't matter; that's what will make your interior interesting. General awareness of undertones is good enough — much more than that is not necessary or advisable.
Here's a collection of white kitchens. I'd love to hear your feelings about white kitchens!
Thank you for sharing, Susan! We are looking forward to the rest of your posts on color in The Kitchn this week.

Setting the user data limit for DB2 on AIX
Technote (FAQ)
This document discusses the user private memory data limit (ulimit -d) and provides recommended values for when you're running DB2 on AIX .
It is recommended that the user data limit be set and private memory usage by DB2® be tuned so that private memory will not be exhausted . Exhausting private memory can result in various errors , suboptimal performance, and overall instability .
For the purposes of the following discussion, the user data limit refers to the "soft" user data limit , which is what is displayed when issuing the ulimit -d command . It is not necessary to set the "hard" user data limit for DB2 on AIX.
By default, the soft user data limit on AIX is 128MB . This is equivalent to the value of 262144 512-byte units as set in /etc/security/limits, or 131072 1KB units as displayed by the ulimit -d command . This limits private memory usage to approximately one half of what is available in the 256MB private memory segment available for a 32-bit process on AIX . (Note that a DB2 server instance cannot make use of the Large Address Space or Very Large Address Space AIX 32-bit memory models due to shared memory requirements) . It is desirable on some systems (for example, those requiring large amounts of sort memory for performance) to increase the user data limit to allow DB2 to allocate more than 128MB of memory in a single process .
One approach is simply to set the user data memory limit to "unlimited" (that is to say, a value of "-1") . This is not recommended for 32-bit DB2 because it allows the data region to overwrite the stack , which grows downward from the top of the 256MB private memory segment . This would typically cause DB2 to abend (end abnormally). It is, however, an acceptable setting for 64-bit DB2 , as the data region and stack are allocated in separate areas of the very large address space available to 64-bit AIX processes .
32-bit DB2 on AIX :
The user data limit should be set high enough to maximize the private memory available to DB2, but should allow enough room for normal stack growth . The default stack limit on AIX is 32768 (1KB units) . DB2 does not require this much stack space , but it is reasonable to base the data user limit on this value. For example, subtract 32768 (1KB units) from the total space available in the 256MB private data segment ( 262144 1KB units )
262144 - 32768 = 229376
The user data limit would then be set to 458752 (512-byte units) . Other common recommendations are 500000 or 491519 (512-byte units) , and these are also acceptable , as they allow sufficient stack space for DB2.
It is commonly stated that data + stack limits must not exceed 256MB for 32-bit AIX processes . While this will result in acceptable settings for the data limit, this rule cannot actually be adhered to for the DB2 server. DB2 sets the stack limit in the db2sysc program to unlimited, a practice which has been carried over from early versions of DB2 on AIX, and this overrides any setting in the user environment . It does no harm to set the stack limit for the DB2 instance owner, but it will not be effective for DB2 server processes. It is only important that the data limit be set appropriately .
64-bit DB2 on AIX :
As stated earlier , there is no danger of the data region being allowed to overlay the stack in 64-bit AIX processes, so there is no longer the same requirement to put an upper ceiling on the user data limit when running 64-bit DB2 on AIX . The main concern is that the user data limit should not impose restrictions on DB2's private memory allocation requirements -- requirements which are based on how DB2 is configured and the nature of requests coming from applications . Excessive private memory requirements should be dealt with by tuning DB2 and/or modifying applications, not by imposing a private memory limit which may cause out-of-memory errors and potential instability . Therefore , "unlimited" is a recommended user data limit setting for the DB2 instance owner . An administrator may wish to impose some limit to protect against unusually high private memory allocation ( or a memory leak ) , but the required private memory by DB2 is very activity/configuration-specific . One option is to set the limit to some percentage of physical memory , for example, 10% , to guard against an extreme case .
1. It is commonly stated that data + stack limits must not exceed 256MB for 32-bit AIX processes . While this will result in acceptable settings for the data limit, this rule is not actually adhered to by DB2 server processes. DB2 sets the stack limit in the db2sysc program for both 32-bit and 64-bit DB2 to 256MB, and this overrides any setting in the user environment . It is only important that the data limit be set appropriately . The user stack limits can be left to the default for both 32-bit and 64-bit DB2 on AIX.
2. Processes on AIX inherit the resource limits of the user that executes the program . If users other than the DB2 instance ID start the instance (by executing the db2start command), the same user data limit requirements apply to those user IDs . One scenario is that if the instance is started remotely using the Control Center, the DAS will start DB2, and it is the resource limits of the ID which starts the DAS that will be in effect.
3. User resource limits are changed permanently either through the smitty interface or by directly editing the /etc/security/limits file . The system administrator would typically perform this task, and information is available in standard AIX documentation to assist you in this task. The limit will not be effective until the instance is started (db2start being issued after the instance has been stopped) in an AIX session which is created after the change is made.
4. Some user resource limits are displayed in DB2 trap files . In the following example, the DB2 instance has abended because the private data region and stack have collided. We can see this because the sbrk value (Data seg top), which represents the high mark of private memory allocation, is very high in segment 2 (the 256MB private memory segment on AIX starts at address 0x20000000) , and is near or exceeding the value of the stack pointer in register gr1 ( GPR[ 01 ] ) :
Resource Limits
Data seg top [sbrk(0)] = 0x2FFF90D0
Cur data size (bytes) = 0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Cur stack size (bytes) = 0x0000000010000000
Cur core size (bytes) = 0x000000003FFFFE00
5. This document does not provide recommendations for DB2 client applications. The vendor of the application program on the client should be contacted for their recommendations . For DB2 programs other than db2sysc ( the main DB2 program which is executed from the db2start command ), the default user data limit is acceptable unless otherwise documented .
6. 32-bit db2fmp processes are linked with -bmaxdata:0x50000000, which enables the AIX 32-bit Large Memory Model . This results in an effective user data limit of 1.25GB, which will override the user data limit set for the fenced user ID . Therefore , there is no need to set the user data limit for the fenced user ID in 32-bit DB2. For 64-bit db2fmp processes however, since the 32-bit Large Memory Model does not apply, the user data limit for the fenced user ID will be in effect. The same guidelines as those for the instance apply: unlimited is acceptable unless a more conservative approach is desired (for example a % of RAM). Similar to the instance ID , the fenced user stack limit settings are overridden and can be left at the default values for both 32-bit and 64-bit DB2.
7. DB2 version 9.5 is multithreaded and has different requirements compared with previous releases. Please consult standard product documentation.

Serbia were supported by a frenetic 15,000 crowd in Novi Sad in their 6-1 rout of Wales last week, whereas they have been subject to attacks from warring fans of rival Belgrade clubs in the Balkan country's capital.
Former defender Mihajlovic is optimistic that UEFA and the Belgian Football Association will allow a change of venue.
"It's up to the Belgians to accept the change and UEFA to approve it and if they do we will play in Novi Sad, if not we will have no choice but to stick to Belgrade as originally scheduled," the 43-year old told Belgrade media.
"The players and I have asked our own FA to move the fixture to Novi Sad because we are fed up of being jeered and insulted in Belgrade, where visiting teams feel more at home than we do.
"I don't want our rivals to have that advantage on our own turf because we don't have that privilege when we are away."
Serbia have been given a torrid time by their fans in Belgrade, either in Red Star's Marakana stadium or Partizan's nearby ground, throughout their dreadful Euro 2012 qualifying campaign.
Partizan goalkeeper Vladimir Stojkovic has been especially targeted by Red Star fans during the national team's games, after joining the Serbian champions in 2010 having played for their cross-town rivals in the early stages of his career.
The 29-year old keeper was attacked by Red Star supporters several hours before Serbia's Euro 2012 qualifier against Italy in Genoa, when Serbian fans caused a riot and forced the game to be abandoned after seven minutes by throwing flares at the home crowd and police.
Jeers and insults by 5,000 fans in Serbia's friendly against Ireland in Belgrade last month was the final straw for former international defender Mihajlovic, who had previously suffered three defeats in as many close-season friendlies after taking over in May.
"It's not that we want to close the book on Belgrade but I don't know what can happen to us here," he said.
"We never know how many people will turn up and if they will support us or the visiting team. It affects my young players, especially when the going gets tough and if we are jeered the next time we play in Belgrade, we won't come back here as long as I am in charge.
"If we play against Belgium in Belgrade and all goes well, we will be at home to Croatia here too while we will certainly play the other games outside the capital because fans in other cities crave to see us in action."
Serbia top the group on goal difference with four points from their opening two games after holding Scotland to a 0-0 draw in Glasgow before the drubbing of Wales.They are away to neighbours Macedonia on October 16.

It's important to my SEO that certain of these pages are listed in my Sitemap that I submit to GWT.
This capability is included in the Google XML Sitemaps plugin, which I'm currently using. However, since I have your awesome WordPress SEO plugin, I thought it would be nice to use it's built-in Sitemap feature and eliminate the redundant plugin.

Ripoff Report Verified .. part of Ripoff Report Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program.A program that benefits the consumer, assures them of complete satisfaction and confidence when doing business with a member business..
At Reliance First Capital, the entire process begins and ends with our experienced Mortgage Analysts, continued Karpen. And, as stated previously, theyve been put through rigorous testing and background checks by the Federal Government, State Governments and by our organization. Also, every one of our mortgage analysts are registered with the National Mortgage Licensing System and Registry (NMLS). In addition, consumers can be comforted to know that any information collected by our Mortgage Analysts is entered into and kept in our secure password-protected proprietary loan origination system, so you can be sure your information is safe. The safety and confidentiality of personal information is, and will always remain, of paramount importance to Reliance First Capital. Headquartered in Melville, NY, the Company has helped thousands of homeowners realize their financial goals by refinancing a current mortgage or procuring a new home mortgage. With over $1.5 billion dollars in loans originated, the Company has six origination centers located in Tennessee, Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio and North Carolina. The Company serves homeowners in 25 states across the nation and has recently been voted a TOP TEN company by customers on LendingTree.com. The Company offers a wide range of loan programs including FHA, conventional, VA, Jumbo, USDA and more, and works with consumers with all types of credit history.
The typical standard mortgage transaction starts when the consumer contacts Reliance. The client is then assigned an analyst to discuss the desired goals. Once a product is chosen, permission is obtained to run the clients credit. Upon favorable review of the credit report an appraisal is ordered for the client property. If the appraisal is in accord with the loan requested a customized loan program is formulated, client documents are obtained, and a loan package is put together and then forwarded to the underwriting department. The underwriters can approve, deny or request additional stipulations from the client. If all the paperwork is approved a title search is conducted. The final step in the process is to set the closing date and to fund the loan.
Leads are generated through internet services such as LendingTree.com or LowerMyBills.com or they are received through telemarketing. Once a lead is generated a sales call is made to discuss the consumers needs and goals where a customized loan program can be established.
The companys standard practice for follow up is that a manager will call all new clients to ensure that their goals are being met and to explain any items that are not understood. The manager also provides a second point of contact with the client. Follow-up is also done when the customer surveys are received. If the customer expressed any issues or concerns a manager will call them to discuss the problems and to find ways on how to improve.
Furthermore, Reliance First Capital is working to enhance current processes by holding weekly staff meetings with personnel. Discussions include what is working well and how they can correct items that need improvement. Employees receive ongoing training and education while employed with the company.
The most common complaint the company receives is that the consumer was not happy with or did not agree with the appraisal report. When this scenario occurs the consumer occasionally demands their money back. Because appraisals are conducted by a 3rd party which is in no way affiliated with Reliance First Capital, the company has no control over which appraisal company is chosen. The work was completed making it that the appraiser is entitled to payment even if the client is not happy. This is explained to the client both before and after the appraisal is done. There have been instances where Reliance has refunded the client out of their own pocket. A standard practice that Reliance uses is to generate a survey after every deal is completed. An example of this is Reliance recently had a client who felt that the appraisal report was not correct. Reliance reviewed the report and even though they found no errors or wrongdoing they refunded the client the cost of the appraisal. The customer was satisfied with the outcome and sent an email thanking Reliance First Capital.
Reliance First Capital ensures that there is a clear and constant communication with their clients. Any customer concerns or issues that arise are handled promptly and efficiently by the customer service department. Since Ripoff Report, every complaint received is now personally addressed by the customer support supervisor via telephone. This occurs usually within the first 24 hours that the complaint is generated. Reliance First Capital has also enrolled in the Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program.
The company feels that it is a benefit to be associated with the Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program. By being a part of the program it shows existing, as well as potential clients that Reliance First Capital has concern for and cares about their clients. It highlights that even great companies get complaints from time to time, and part of a measure of a company is how it handles those complaints.
Reliance First Capital recognizes that complaints posted on Ripoff Report (whether true or not) are issues that need to be addressed, not ignored. They realize, if handled correctly, complaints can be valuable learning opportunities. With the feedback generated by Ripoff Reports review, Reliance First Capital has made organizational changes allowing its clients and employees a more streamlined approach to problem resolution and a commitment to a great client experience.
In summary, after our investigation, which included discussions with Reliance First Capital, Rip-off Report is convinced that the company is committed to quality delivery of services resulting in total client satisfaction.

Reliance First Capital LLC Facing Foreclosure & Soon to be Homeless, Franklin, Tennessee
In late July of 2010, we were solicited by phone to refinance our home. Fred Scott with Reliance First Capital contacted us & stated that he could get us an FHA loan with the APR fixed & at least 2% cheaper than our current mortgage loan with escrow included, also we would have equity left over to pay off some other bills we had & we would close this loan within approximately 2 weeks, this would of course be before our next loan payment would be late, which was by the 15th of August. We were told we would not have to make another house payment on our current loan, instead all we had to do was pay for an appraisal, up front of course.
On July 29 our checking account was debited for $400, the appraiser arrived on August 4 @ 11:00 AM. The appraisal company was C & M Appraisals was represented by Dann Cann of Leitchfield, KY. Actually getting the appraisal completed & availabe for review ran past our August 15th deadline. Our house was built in April of 2008 & the construction loan was for $120,000, appraised value was more than we paid to build. Property taxes are valued still @ $120,000. Per Fred Scott our current appraisal was $104,000 & there were problems with what the appraiser found that needed to be addressed before we could proceed with the loan. The ground underneath our house was damp, & we had to buy an industrial fan to dry any moisture. Of course this was Fred's suggestion & cost us an additional $275, which we did not have.
It was then mid September,our loan would not go through unless we then paid an additional $175 to the appraiser. We paid this fee & the recertification was done on September 27, which by way got us nowhere. I have spoke to Fred Scott repeatedly only to be put off yet again.
It is now October 12 & we are now in default on our mortgage due to paying these additional expenses. Our foreclosure letter has arrived & we have been given until the end of October to come up with 2 house paments now total due $1,450, which we do not have.
Our stupidity has cost us $850, which of course is nonrefundable. I can't even get a copy of this so called low appraisal either, per the appraiser it belongs to Reliance even though I have already paid for it. Soon to be Homeless & at the end of my rope. All complaints you see about this company are true, STAY AWAY!!!!!!!

#1 Consumer Suggestion
20% equity stake not required
AUTHOR: mtgvet - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, May 10, 2011POSTED: Tuesday, May 10, 2011
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
#2 General Comment
You were denied refinancing because you lacked 20% equity
AUTHOR: IamGood - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, October 12, 2010POSTED: Tuesday, October 12, 2010
You were denied refinancing because your equity stake in the house is negative. You must have at least 20% equity in your home before you are allowed to refinance.
You should not have stopped paying on your home. That is your fault for stopping. I dont care what they told you. They assumed that you would have had equity in the house, but you did not.
I saw where you were thinking because your property was valued at 120,000 by the taxing authority, that ment you had equity. The actual market value of your house was 104,000.
It sucks I know, the housing market bubble burst, and everybody is hurting. I guess I dont understand though why you were refinancing. your monthly payments were only 725.00 a month. That is cheap for a 120,000 home. (did that include escrow?)
Anyway, perhaps you can take out a car title loan and pay the 1425.00. You may lose your car to the title loan company later, but would you rather lose a house, and end up living in your car?
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
