Not something you usually read in the same sentence gaming and netbook as with such a limited amount of space you usually have trouble cramming everything you need inside the body. Well Alienware have managed to do it and not only that but they've done it very well.
I am a bit of a sucker when it comes to packaging I like things to be presented well to me and Alienware has done that the best for probably any product I've ever bought. IT comes in a black box with glossy alien head markings on and a honeycomb effect across the entire box then when you open it you have the black foam padding holding the computer which is in a black suede effect cloth bag and then you have all the parts such as the charger and instruction booklets etc housed in a cardboard box with alien type symbols over it.
The computer it's self has a matt black metal casing with the Alienware logo on the outer casing of the lid a slanted front that sits flush when the laptop is closed with grills on either side.
First thing you notice which is probably one of the coolest features on an Alienware laptop are the lights. When you turn on the computer the whole thing lights up the keyboard, the alien shaped power button, the alien shaped logo on the outer case and the grills at the front. You can also fully customise each individual section of lights to a range of about 15 different colours.
Once you get the computer started and begin to use it you straight away realise that the power over the other laptops of this size is pretty phenomenal it deals with most tasks with no problems at all and to save power you have the option to switch between the two graphics card just at the press of a button.
The main point to touch on here is using the computer for gaming. By switching onto the higher graphics you can run any game without problems I personally had about 10+ games on my Steam account which included some more demanding gays such as Call of Duty and World of Warcraft. I must add you cannot always run high settings on these games as you will start to notice a dramatic drop in your frame rate.
The battery power was outstanding for a high power machine sometimes getting about 5-6 hours of heavy gaming on the higher graphics cards and around 9-10 hours of regular use.
All in all this is a perfect portable gaming machine for a gamer who has to travel a lot. I would say it's probably little under powered for some more dedicated gamers and they might want this purely as a portable unit more than a unit used permanently. The only problem with all this is it does come at a price and Alienware does tend to be a little steep for a machine that many people would find to small for use as there main computer.
When you hear "Alienware" you automatically assume high performance gaming, but this is not necessarily what you get from this product.
Don't get me wrong this is a great computer, and it pretty much destroys every other 11" Laptop/notebook out there, it's specifications are very good for a computer of this size and if it's just a Laptop/notebook you are after I highly recommend buying this one.
It is very aesthetically pleasing and has the same lighting options as it's larger counterparts, the M15x and M17x.
This will run games such as World of Warcraft and Call of Duty: Black Ops with ease but don't expect to run either on maximum settings, that just isn't going to happen.
You have to remember that this is a very small computer so it can't really match the power of other Alienware products as it simply isn't large enough to contain the higher performance components, this being said it is still a very capable machine.
It is possible to increase the performance by upgrading the component options from the Alienware website but expect to significantly increase the price if you choose to do so.
I rate this product: 7.5/10
Alienware has built up its reputation as a 'gaming' computers; hence a person would believe that it would be equipped with a big RAM, an outstanding graphics card and a fast processor (or at least fast enough).
My reason for purchasing this laptop was slightly different, though I hope there would be some out there who would share the same need for such a laptop: I needed something light, very portable, with a good battery life and with all this, decent enough to be a good multitasking device; run few powerpoints, few hundred excel sheets, words and adobe photoshop all at the same time. Or something like that.
So I had a few options in my hand; few ACER, MSI, Samsung, and ASUS; there was one ASUS laptop which really caught my eye, and affordable too - 400GBP with 2GB RAM, Duo Core processor, 160GB memory, or something like that. Of course, there is also Apple - Macbook, Macbook Pro and even Macbook Air are all good enough to do what I desire, and yet I'm no Bill Gates. So while thinking furiously in my little head, I came across an offer - M11x, reduced to 699GBP (as of October 2010).
You have to be careful (as with any laptops or computers), as even the same model will be equipped with different hardware. The price of M11x range substantially, though they'll all look the same. So I looked at the spec - my M11x was equipped with:
- 11.6 inch screen of 1366x768 resolution
- Intel CPU U4100 1.3GHz Processor Duo Core
- 64-bit OS
- Windows 7 Home Premium
- 320GB Memory
- 1GB NVIDIA GT335M GeForce (!!!)
- Built-in HD 5.1 Surround Sound Speakers
- Built-in non-removable 8 Cell battery
- Built-in Mic & WebCam
- Dimensions:
Height: 3.27cm
Width: 28.57cm
Depth: 23.33cm
Weight: 2kg
Main advantages (for my anyway):
- Very portable; light. Most laptops (15.4inch screen) weigh around 3 - 4kgs). Small in dimensions; it's like carrying a small text book.
- Battery life - now Apple products are known for their notoriously long battery life, which ranges to two digit number hours (amazing huh) but most of the Windows laptops only last for 3 hours (when new), which vastly diminishes with time. Most of the laptops after few years old, won't be able to be used without AC. M11x has been with me for 3months now, and it still goes on for around 5 hours with Wifi-on and watching few films, which is just wonderful! I can use it to do work (Word, Excel etc) without charging it for half a day. However! Must be careful when 3D graphics mode is switched on (mainly for games), which will drain the battery and will only last few hours (2 hours maximum). Since I never really play games on my laptop, this is no problem for me.
- Eye candy; equipped with Alien-things, notably Alien Sense (which detects your facial features using the webcam to log-in automatically in the start-up: cool huh?!), Alien FX (changes colours of the speaker at front, keypad, and alien head on button and Alienware label on the screen - the colours available are vast and you can change it to pulse-blinking, or fade into different colours), and AlienTouch to configure your mousepad etc.
- RAM & Processor; high spec really pays off. For a small laptop like this, especially most of them are now called 'netbooks' which runs on tiny wimpy Atom processors, which really won't allow you to do anything. Don't be fooled, because if you want to use a netbook (as they're tiny little things) to replace your laptop, then you've just spent few odd hundred pounds down the drain. If you want however, a little device to check your emails, surf the internet and do messengers, then netbooks will keep you perfectly happy. M11x ran all the applications beautifully, and handled them, which is exactly what I needed.
- Built-in card reader (you don't have to carry an adopter!), webcam (which is normal for laptops nowadays)
- VGA and HDMI slots ready! This is fabulous, as you can just hook your M11x to an external monitor, for example, to my 24inch Philips monitor! Which is great, for those times you think 11.6inches of M11x is a tad too small for excel graphs or spreadsheets...or even reading your favourite journals and watching videos!
- Alienware inside; AlienSense is slow and I find it hard to switch it off. I do all the ticks and unticks but AlienSense still shows up and slows down the log-in process (this is because the laptop uses webcam, and to start and use this hardware takes up memory)
- Short battery life with NVIDIA graphics mode. I've tried (just out of curiosity) Need for Speed Carbon, and with the highest setting it ran it as smoothly as an Xbox. But after an hour and half, I needed the AC. So unlucky for those long flight/train journeys!
- Integrated battery - the whole M11x is built as a one thing and cannot be taken off (without drivers), which can be a good thing, but when it comes to batteries, where it will run away after few months/years this can be tragic. What's the point having a great laptop which won't work without AC? M11x will become just that in few years time.
- Screen is said to be HD capable, and yet I find that hard to believe. The blacks are not black at all, merely like holes, and pixels can be seen. The screen brightness is also quite terrible, though sufficient, it does not display pictures brilliantly.
- Keypad - M11x does not have an ordinary keypad like other laptops or computers do. It's been re-sized to fit the small width of the laptop. For me, this was a no problem for me, the keypad is very ergonomical, but sometimes this can be different for some.
- Sim card slot - now don't waste your time searching the web for an answer to this. Yes, M11x does have a Sim card slot for 3G connections (which would have been a great selling point - and certainly stood up to Apple iPad and Samsung Galaxy Tab), but this hardware was only meant for USA. Now, there have been rumours of development of software to utilise this wonderful potential, but for UK customers, you're still yet to discover this.
- Stuck in sleep model; as with all laptops or computers, you can't expect it to run like a perfect device - this is no Apple and you probably haven't paid few grand for your devices. Correct with this expectations, is a black screen, where waking up from sleep mode, stays and won't change. Of course you can turn it off manually pressing down the Alien head, but for me, this is time consuming, and time is money. Having said that, it rarely happens, and it's not a major problem.
- Mouse pad isn't the best pad in the world - I've used better. The mouse pad isn't very sensitive (even with changed settings on AlienTouch) and sometimes it annoys me to surf or when it requires extensive use, like Photoshop. A USB mouse can never go wrong.
- 2kg; not the lightest laptop you can find. Now, people will always want more, and it's our human nature to strive for something better every time. 2kg was a feather compared to the 3.5kg of my previous laptop, but after holding Apple Air, which is just around 1kg, my M11x feels like a brick. There are now other compact laptops from ASUS, Msi, ACER (or SONY if you have the cash) which delivers similar processing power, with less weight.
- Looks; oh and make sure you watch a video or several pictures (or go to a store and touch one even) before buying it. The look of M11x cannot be liked by all!
Conclusions: If you're a gamer, go buy a PS3 or an Xbox. However great these laptops can be, they will never be a serious gaming machines, especially M11x, with everything so compacted into a small device. If you however, are a PC gamer and love gaming on PC, then this is for you, but remember, the battery will suffocate in an hour.
If you're looking for an all-round laptop, that can be carried around in trains buses planes without becoming a hazardous object, the M11x is perfect. It will do all the jobs you require and it's portable enough to just slide on your lap - that is if you can afford to spend 600-1000GBP pounds. For most of you, 1000GBP worthy of a laptop will bring you tremendous power and quality - of course, of it being not 11.6inch small little gem like M11x.

Las habitaciones y cuartos de baño son pequeños y antiguos. Necesitan una remodelación
Super cerca de todo los turistas no
la amabilidad de todo e personal todo estuvo excelente, ademas al principio pensamos en el preci para eljir el hotel si embargo fue una agradable sorpresa ya que en todos los sentidos elegimos un excelente hotel, con un excelente ambiente familiar y un restaurante con una cocina exceente. felicidades a todo el personal.
El hotel esta nuevo, limpio, bien atendido, con parking, en una zona centrica y cerca de todo. Nada
La atención del personal, habitación,desayuno, sala fitness,piscina, ubicación y en ganeral todo
Construction noise next door
I liked that the hotel was close to the water and Fisherman's Wharf. It was clean and the staff was friendly. It was far from the main downtown core. They do provide a free downtown shuttle on a first come basis until 2300. I believe this hotel would do much better if they had a FREE airport shuttle AND a free continental breakfast. I know I will look for both in a hotel if I return to the area.
Service, location, value, ambiance, shuttle service
Great location, quiet rooms, modern style, helpful staff. Quality of equipment and bathrooms
Location- could easily walk to harbour or fisherman's warf lots! dirty - can't see through the windows, no balcony! no view of the harbour, restaurant is a rip off can't even fill your cup with proper coffee in the morning, not child friendly- felt that a child was disturbing .
Great location overlooking the entrance to Victoria inner harbor. Very nice and helpful staff. Nicely designed rooms. Worst: nearly all the pillows smelled of old sweat. We finally requested and received new, unused pillows. Avoiding dry cleaning pillows is not a good cost-cutting measure! Also, waited one hour for breakfast, after two complaints, received it with the explanation that here were "problems in the kitchen." To their credit, the restaurant wait staff seemed embarrassed and comped the breakfast. Another morning we decided to skip the menu and do the $17 buffet, which was MUCH worse that the free buffets you get at budget hotels.
Waterfront views were wonderful. We especially enjoyed seeing the occassional harbour seal at breakfast. About a 20 minute stroll to the main harbour area. No real negatives.
Very nice hotel. Breakfast was good too.
Pretty good location - 10-15 minute walk to empress and downtown. Right next to fisherman's wharf. Good Restaurant. Nothing.
The view parking gate unable to code out
Very friendly and imformative staff. Our room was large with a king bed, good bathroom and small balcony overlooking the inner harbour. The hotel has a great location with a regular water taxi service to the city centre. The Orca Sprit whale watching experience, office and boats are also based at the hotel wharf.
The taxi service was fantastic, the room was nice and the staff friendly. I will come back!
I enjoyed being close to the inner harbour. While the room needed a few minor repairs, the staff were very accommodating and pleasant. It was great value for the price. I would definitely stay there again
Very good location, staff very nice. We found the bed hard and uncomfortable
The location was great as were the staff. The beds were a little too hard and the building was showing signs of wear.
The location. I liked everything
Very nice, all staff was friendly and helpful.
The french staff was really nice, the room well cleaned and since we had a discount, we were very happy of the quality.
The position, very close to the city center but at the same time in a very quiet and nice area. The "old style" character of the hotel. Free Wi-fi in all the hotel. the rooms need some refurbishing. Our room was overlooking a yard where the fans of the restorant are located with the consequent bad smell
I participated in the 1/2 marathon. Location was great. Room was comfortable and beds were great. Convenience of the restaurant downstairs was also a plus. It was quiet and we only stayed the one night and enjoyed the accommodations. Staff was great! I would have liked to have a larger TV in the room.
Liked location and price. Very good hotel for the price. close to everything. Evaluations are based on value for price. Staff kept this older hotel clean. Nice to have refrigerator in room.
Very clean, no frills accommodation in a historic building in the midst of interesting residential neighborhood, yet close to shopping and downtown core. No elevator so would not be suitable for those who cannot do stairs.
The location and the restaurant are well worthwhile. The room while clean and with a modern bathroom, was all on an angle. The floor and doorways are all not square, we are talking about 2 inches on a doorway. If this doesn't worry you then the place is fine.
Virtually everything - the place reminded me of the places my parents would take me as a kid when on holiday. Parking lot, very well kept gardens, friendly check-in with lemon water available and coffee in the morning. Comfy, old school decor and furnishings - but everything is clean and kept up - it's not at all tatty. Ice machine, vending machines, and a simple but immaculate room. I also left my laptop in my room by accident and the maid made a point of rushing after me to return it - so, honest staff as well. My pillow could have been a bit denser!
My stay was brief - one night only - late arrival and early departure. Staff very accommodating. Upgrade to queen bed was good. Lobby coffee was excellent. We were allowed to park our car on the lot after check-out while we went on a walking tour of the city - that was greatly appreciated. Carrying heavy bags up the steps to lobby - no elevator.
The friendly staff and the cleanliness of the rooms. Location was great.
So charming!
quiet and clean no elevator and my friend was in a walking cast. no bath tub........the cheapest possible shampoo and soap. I dropped the soap in the white shower and I coundn;t find it until I turned off the water.
The room was small but well organised and the bathroom and shower looked really new. The bed could have been bigger for 2 people but still we slept well.
Very comfortable (quiet) and at home. The room I stayed was very clean. A bit far from Downtown.
El mejor desayuno y comedor en el que he estado. Muy limpio y muy bien supervisado. La comida siempre repuesta. Nunca se terminaba. Sin duda volveré. La mejor ubicación. El personal es muy amable. La habitación es limpia y cómoda.
Disfrutamos de estar en la 4ª planta, con sus techos altos y un tragaluz Ls huevos revueltos estaban sosos. Quizás haría falta un poco más de variedad de salsas para darles un toque.
Friendly staff, great location, big rooms. No minibar in the room.
Todo era genial! Uno de los camareros era grosero. Tomó el desayuno es un poco demasiado en serio.
Ubicación Personal amable Desayuno Limpio. Buena relación calidad-precio para el magnífico local.
Poder aparcar el coche y tener una base para explorar Victoria a pie. El ahorro nos permitió tener un día de spa y té de la tarde en el Hotel Empress. El bufé de desayuno tenía una buena variedad y estaba bien atendido. La zona de la piscina deben tener algunas sillas y un poco más de privacidad.
Limpio, tranquilo y cómodo. Un hotel estupendo para el precio
Gran ubicación. Gran personal.
Situación del hotel, internet gratis, limpieza, tiene microondas y un pequeño frigorífico. Las camas estaban hundidas, la decoración estaba obsoleta.
I didn't like how in the morning I tried calling and calling but no one answered as I had to catch a 7am and was told the night before someone would be there all night but when I called at least 9 times no one picked up until 5:50 am and all I wanted to do was check out and leave
A comfortable suite is much better value for the money than a single room. Very clean and well decorated with neutral colours, granite counter... way better than a stark white wall. Bed was comfortable. Location is great, centrally located but not a crazy busy/noisy street. Great walking around James Bay and Fisherman's Wharf. I really, REALLY like that they take dogs too. The suite was super clean, no sign of dogs from other people which I liked (even though I have a dog)!
Gran Habitación. Ubicación conveniente. Excelente restaurante con una gran barra de desayuno. Que me tuve que ir
el gimnasio y la ubicacion que es viejo, destecnologico y que por fuera, el edificio se ve muy viejo y despintado
Limpio, buena ubicación, buena relación calidad-precio. Muebles eran anticuados,
Cerca del centro de Victoria En la habitación no había aire acondicionado y se notaba la diferencia entre el pasillo y la habitación
The staff was really kind, and the room was excellent. Full equipment for cooking, very clean bathroom. Highly recommend. Our room was just beside the street but the street was not very noisy. And it was park view. we were very tired after city tour so we slept very well.
The rooms are beautiful and comfortable and the location is excellent. Soundproofing is virtually nonexistent. I could hear the people above me all night and the shower next door is so loud I thought my own shower had suddenly turned on.
The location is exceptional. Across from Victoria's biggest park and within two blocks of major tourist attractions, restaurants and downtown shopping. Inn is being renovated so construction materials and some chaos on the main floor at the moment. No noise in suite however.
The rooms are great and the value for the money is as well. The best feature is the location, close to shopping, restaurants, parks. Easy to find and great access from the airport for visitors.
central location but quiet setting
Good hotel at great location
Excellent location and the kitchen facilities were an added bonus. Comfortable bed and clean bathroom. Small bathroom.
Within walking distance of all of the downtown Victoria sites and the convenience of parking our vehicle while walking the area. The rooms were excellent. Nothing
Shower pressure was excellent! Location could not be more convenient. Also, we got a great deal. Apparently, there was a mix up on my reservation at check out, and the staff did not know what to do, so it took us over 30 min to check out. The staff could have just charged me for the room and be done with it in a much shorter time because we had the Bookings.com reservation paperwork with us to show the staff.
Location is excellent. hotel and rooms are very clean, parking at a reasonable cost, and rates are competitive if not better than comparable hotels. Street noise at times disturbing, but not excessive.
Everything is included in the question 2. Specialy because is a very clean hotel and offers lots of facilities. Is confortable and cozy. Good price, good internet e excellent location. But the most important: is clean and confortable!!!!I Nothing to write about!!! It's really good and we enjoyed to stay there!
Comfortable beds, clean room and bathroom, great view of the harbor, decent breakfast, cheap parking, awesome location and friendly staff. Also really liked the kitchenette space had it's own little space/nook! Best value for the area!
The beds were very comfortable Breakfast supposed to be until ten . You should be ale to walk in until ten at five minutes until everything. Was gone and being put away . They said you could have what was left . I ended up having to drive and wait a hour for breakfast . Also the sauna and pool were closed
Location Breakfast starts at 8:30, which is a little late for me; would prefer a 7 or 7:30 start.
Great location and value A bit noisy. Head snoring from nearby room as well as late night arrivals
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Breakfast is good, homemade, food is fresh. Room is too tight.
I loved the location, very close to the ferry terminal and walking or cheap taxi distance from downtown. The rooms are cozy, clean and well kept. Markets and her crew made an excellent breakfast which was well worth it.
The owner is very friendly, The breakfasts were incredible (5 star) and it is two blocs away from the tourist center of Victoria and very quiet at night. Great place. I recommend it strongly Everything was fine.
Delicious and attractive breakfast choices.
It was quaint, comfortable, with friendly staff and quiet location. Breakfast was fabulous. When we arrived they did not have our reservation. Luckily they were able to accommodate us.
friendly,clean,great food, location.
Everything about it was easy. We arrived much earlier than scheduled, yet the friendly manager gave us a house tour plus muffins and our room key. Beds were comfy. Breakfast was lovely, tasty and in a nice setting. Downtown was an easy walk. There are steep staircases to get to any level. Rooms are small because it's in an old house. Breakfast has a one-hour window, a problem for race-runners. Neither of these things are necessarily problems, just things prospective guests should know.
Breakfast, location, cleanliness Room looked different than website
The breakfast, the location, and the bed. The wasn't working properly when we arrived, but it was fixed before we left, and hotel employee refunded $20 for this.
Classic . Some real nice creaky stairs. Clean comfortable bed. Clean bathroom. Location has great walking score. Breakfast was ok. Just average. For the B&B it would be great to have breakfast in the Mansion. We had to crowd in with the hotel line up and the dining area in the other building of the Hotel.
full kitchen, staff very helpful washroom counter too small
walking distance to water and restaurants. showers were excellent. decor was dated 1980's. everything was tidy and nautical but mattress could be upgraded
Location, Location, Location At other Hotels, dry cereals available. Would have liked to see other newspapers on sale, Globe&Mail, National Post, The Province.
within walking distance of city centre, large clean room, price included light breakfast, full kitchen in room old refrigerator in room - constantly running - room a little run down - should be classed as 3 star not 31/2 star. Beware of rate advertised on web site - web page site was $135.00/day - it was not a bargain as walk in rates were advertised at $CAD138.00/day at the hotel. My cost including all taxes/charges became CAD$206.00 per day.
Convenience; friendliness; "homey" atmosphere. We had two bed; one would have been preferred and allowed more room in the suite. No an issue re: future stays, though. we'll be back.

May 18, 1983
A Special Welcome
By Mayor Bernard Brooks
This year, we are combining our fourth annual "Discover Teaneck" program, which encourages outsiders to visit our community, with Bergen County's Tri-centennial celebration.
Because the reading audience includes Teaneckers, as well as out-of-towners, I'll take the opportunity to send messages to both groups.
To our neighbors: the Township Council has asked me to express our gratitude for your continued support of the "Discover Teaneck" programs, which we regard as an opportunity for all of us to welcome visitors and display for them the special qualities that make Teaneck what it is: An extraordinary community of individuals with diverse interests and a variety of talents and skills, who are always ready to combine forces for the common good. We encourage you to be yourselves during this unprecedented week-long celebration combining "Discover Teaneck" and the county's Tri-centennial. By doing so, you'll show our visitors, who may soon become our neighbors, what Teaneck is all about.
To our visitors: We think Teaneck is unlike any other community in the nation. We have an astonishing ethnic diversity, and we live together in harmony because that is the path we have chosen. We have a lot to offer:
- An outstanding public school system.
- A non-partisan council-manager form of government we believe to be second to none in the delivery of efficient, economical services.
- A vibrant and active cultural life, employing the skills of many talented neighbors.
- A superb system of parks and playgrounds.
- A major university and an excellent hospital within our borders.
- A major redevelopment program in progress that will create "a city within a city" and, not incidentally, help to stabilize the property tax rate for years to come.
- A convenient and attractive retail center, supported by excellent free municipal parking facilities.
- The only "green belt" on Route 4.
Finally, a community in which you will have the opportunity to live life to the fullest, secure in the knowledge that your neighbors want you and welcome you. Thank you for coming to "Discover Teaneck." We're confident you'll like what you find.

- Disable the Nagle algorithm by using the following command:
ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_naglim_def 1
- Use an AIX Power 5 or Power 6 host system.
- Set the following operating system parameters:
no -o tcp_nagle_limit=0
Most TCP implementations use the Nagle algorithm, where a TCP connection can have only one outstanding small segment that has not been acknowledged. This causes TCP to delay sending further packets until it receives an acknowledgement or until it can bundle more data and send a full-size segment.
You must disable the Nagle algorithm when using the ClearQuest Web application.
no -o clean_partial_conns=1
Specifies whether SYN (synchronize the sequence number) attacks are avoided.
Enable this option for the ClearQuest Web application to protect against network attacks.
no -o tcp_nodelayack=1
Enabling this parameter causes TCP to send immediate acknowledgement (ACK) packets to the sender. When the parameter
tcp_nodelayack is off, TCP delays sending ACK packets by up to 200 ms. This allows the ACK packet to piggyback on a response and minimizes the system overhead.
For optimal performance, enable this parameter.
no -o rfc1323=1
Enables window scaling and time stamps as specified by RFC 1323 (TCP Extensions for High Performance). Window scaling allows the TCP window sizes (
tcp_recvspace and
tcp_sendspace) to be larger than 64 KB (65,536) and is typically used for large maximum transmission unit (MTU) networks.
If your ClearCase VOBs or ClearQuest databases are hosted on a Windows system, enable this parameter for optimal performance.
- Increase the following tunable kernel parameters:
- Disable the Nagle algorithm by issuing the following command:
- Modify TCP_KEEPALIVE_INTERVAL (Determines the interval between probes)
ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_naglim_def 1
ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_keepalive_interval 7200000
value: 7200000 (milliseconds)
- Increase JVM VIRTUAL PAGE SIZE (Sets the JVM instruction and data page sizes to 64 MB to improve performance)
For WebSphere 6.1.0.x use the following command
chatr +pi64M +pd64M <WASHOME>/java/bin/PA_RISC2.0/java
default value: 4 MB
recommended value: 64 MB
Stop WebSphere Application Server prior to making this change.
- Modify TCP_CONN_REQUEST_MAX
netstat -p tcp command. Look for "connect requests dropped due to full queue."
ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_conn_request_max 8192
recommended value: 8192
CM Server Parameters
You can tune CM Server for optimal performance for ClearQuest Web users based on expected peak load. You can adjust the following CqServerFactoryMBean attributes to achieve the desired performance level. See the information in the Setting available MBean attributes topic in the ClearQuest InfoCenter for instructions on how to modify these MBeans.
- serverWorkerThreadCount - Default value is 30.
Description : The number of threads that a ClearQuest RPC process will use to handle incoming requests.
Configuration : Increasing this value allows for a fewer number of ClearQuest RPC processes. Update this value with caution because setting it to an improper value can have a negative effect on performance. Setting this value too high will cause contention within a process, and setting this value too low increases the need for more ClearQuest RPC processes.
- activeHttpSessionThreshold - Default value is 30.
Description : The number of active HTTP sessions on a ClearQuest RPC process. If this value is exceeded, it may cause the CM Server to start another ClearQuest RPC process.
Configuration: Increasing this value will allow for fewer ClearQuest RPC processes. Update this value with caution, as setting it too high will cause contention within a process, and setting it too low will increase the need for more ClearQuest RPC processes.
- maximumActiveServers - Default value is 10.
Description : The maximum number of active ClearQuest RPC processes allowed by the CM Server. This number may be adjusted to suit the host system's resource capacity.
- recycleServerHttpSessionLimit - Default value is 200. A value of zero indicates that this limit will not be checked.
Description : The number of HTTP sessions that a ClearQuest RPC process will service before it is recycled by the CM Server.
- recycleServerLifetimeLimit - Default value is 86,400 seconds (24 hours). A value of zero indicates that this limit will not be checked.
Description : The maximum life time, in seconds, of a ClearQuest RPC process before it is recycled by the CM Server.
- recyclingPeriod - Default value is 3,600 seconds (60 minutes). This value must be greater than zero.
Description : The amount of time, in seconds, that a recycling ClearQuest RPC process is allowed to shutdown and complete any outstanding session work before it terminates.
Configuration: Update this value with caution, as setting this to an improper value can have a serious effect on performance. This value overrides the behaviors of the following TeamServerMBean attributes: sessionObjectDefaultTimeout, sessionQueryObjectTimeout, and sessionRecordObjectTimeout.
- remoteChartReportServerHostName - Default value is "" (empty string).
Description : Applicable on UNIX CM Server systems only. Designates the host name of the Windows CM Server used for processing chart and report requests. Added in ClearQuest version 7.1.1.
- remoteChartReportServerPort - Default value is 0.
Description : Applicable for Unix CM Server systems only. Designates the port number of the Windows CM Server used for processing chart and report requests. Added in ClearQuest version 7.1.1.
WebSphere Application Server Parameters
Use the WebSphere Application Server admin console to set the following parameters, as needed. Access the WebSphere Application Server admin by using the following URL: http://localhost:12060/ibm/console
- J2C Connection pool - Default value is 400.
Description : The maximum number of connections to cqrpc backend processes.
Configuration : Increase the J2C Connection pool value "Maximum Connections" if the average number of CQWeb users is greater than the current value of "Maximum Connections".
The Maximum Connections value is located at: Applications > Enterprise Applications > TeamEAR > Manage Modules > OncrpcConnector > Resource Adapter > J2C connection factories > CqRpc > Connection pool properties

Taxidermy puts a modern face on Drupal's taxonomy.module.
The goals of Taxidermy are simply to implement the improvements suggested for Taxonomy.module in D7 so that modules which implement the proposed hook_taxonomy_term_load, hook_taxonomy_term_insert, hook_taxonomy_term_update, and hook_taxonomy_term_delete can work on Drupal 6 and earlier. See the core issue to add proper taxonomy term hooks for more information about the goals of this module.
Various modules rely on hook_taxonomy's update and insert operations, but all of those modules have no shared mechanism for loading their additions on terms. Taxidermy module provides that functionality in a way that should be forward-compatible with Drupal 7.
This module doesn't do anything by itself. It has no user interface. It gives no output. It has no independent functionality.

It was 9 a.m. at Hot Donut Co. in downtown Tampa. Dave Matthews Band blasted through the speakers as customers swarmed the tiny cart. Wearing his usual apron, owner Bruce Frechette fluttered between the doughnut maker and the coffee station.
"Danielle, did you get your house, baby?" Frechette, 55, asked one of his regular customers. "I'm rooting for you. What's your horoscope say?"
Danielle Kelly, who works at the Fifth Third Bank that towers over Frechette's cart, has been buying her coffee from him since August 2008. She has a coffee pot in her office, but she can't bring herself to brew her own.
"I've tried to break up with Bruce a couple times, and it just didn't work," said Kelly, 29. " 'Cause it's not just the coffee. It's the company."
Some of the friendliest people in town — not to mention the best eats — are found at roadside food carts like Frechette's. But if you're like us, you drive by mobile eateries and wonder, Is the food any good? Will I get sick if I eat there?
We scoured Tampa Bay for the best food carts. We encountered a few duds , but you won't find them on this list. So the next time you're hungry, skip the drive-through and check out one of these mobile businesses.
Hot Donut Co.
"I had a donut one time in Ocean City, Md. I remember it being a very lovely culinary experience because it was a fresh, hot doughnut," Bruce Frechette said. "It always stuck in my mind." So in 1986 when the entrepreneur was between businesses, he started Hot Donut Co.
"I have a lot of people tell me my donuts are the best donuts they've ever had in their entire life," said Frechette, 55, of Temple Terrace. "But the one thing nice about coffee is if you give someone a really good cup of coffee, they come and see you on a regular basis." In fact, coffee sales make up the bulk of Hot Donut Co.'s business.
The goods: Vanilla cake doughnuts (75-cents each) that are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Frechette makes them fresh daily in a machine he calls the "donut robot." For 20 cents extra, get unlimited toppings: glaze, chocolate, nuts, coconut, sprinkles, powdered sugar and cinnamon sugar. There are also eight varieties of Joffrey's coffee ($1.35 to $2.05), plus other beverages and bagels.
The cart: A houselike structure built by Frechette. "It's very strong. I flipped it over once," Frechette said, referring to when he encountered a pot hole on Nebraska Avenue. "Didn't do anything to it. Pretty cool."
Find him: Weekdays from 7:30 to 10:30 a.m. at a corner of Franklin Street and Kennedy Boulevard in downtown Tampa. To order a baker's dozen, call ahead to (813) 221-1313.
La Yucateca
Growing up in Yucatan, Mexico, Carlos Sosa worked in his parents' restaurants. When he moved to the States, Sosa dreamed of opening his own. Instead, he found himself working for a decade as a kitchen manager at Perkins .
Three years ago, Sosa saw his opportunity. His boss at Perkins had tried unsuccessfully to start a hot dog business and needed to unload the carts. Sosa worked out a deal. "I always thought about having a big Mexican buffet. But you've got to start somewhere," said Sosa, 35 .
Today, Sosa and his wife, Cinthia, sell Mexican food to Largo's lunchtime crowd. Some customers even bring coolers full of beer. In September, the Sosas opened Señor Taco Mexican restaurant in Pinellas Park. They also plan to change the name of the cart to Señor Taco.
The goods: Tacos, burritos and more. Sosa cooks, even making his own corn tortillas and salsa. Popular items include the Mayan barbecued pork sandwich ($6.50); Sosa wraps the meat in banana leaves and marinates it in orange juice and spices. The steak taco ($2.25) is also a hit. Tuesdays, beef soft tacos are $1. The stand also sells Jarritos Mexican soda ($1.50) and Coke products ($1).
The cart: After moving the cart around Tampa Bay, Sosa anchored La Yucateca at its current location. It's still on wheels, but the structure is now more of a building.
Find them: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Saturday at the northeast corner of Starkey and Ulmerton roads in Largo. Call Carlos at (727) 459-6093 or Cinthia at (727) 459-6094.
Vegan Beagle
Cheong Choi owns Cafe Hey, a downtown Tampa eatery that carries many vegan items. After his employees raved about a vegan cart in Orlando, last summer Choi and his business partner, Jen Saavedra, set out to start something similar.
"People expect the standard fare at a mobile food cart," said Choi, 34, of Tampa. "Some people just say, 'Give me whatever, as long as it tastes good.' And there are other people that say, 'I am very conscious where my food comes from.' "
The goods: Pan-seared vegan hot dogs, oversized soy sausages and brats, served delightfully hot on a bun ($4 each). Also try the Cafe Hey chili dog ($5), which is topped with the restaurant's vegan chili but is available only on the cart. For a lighter meal, get the pinchos with Cuban bread ($3). Choi buys all soy products, with the exception of the kimchi .
The cart: "It is a lot more difficult" than owning a restaurant, Choi said. "A fixed location is more flexible. You can have events, you can have catering. What you have for a … cart is convenience."
Find him: Outside concerts and other nightlife events throughout Tampa Bay, and occasionally outside Cafe Hey at 1540 N Franklin St., Tampa. For location updates, follow @veganbeagle on Twitter or search for "Vegan Beagle" on Facebook. E-mail him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Open Hearth Pizza
Chris Jones says mobile pizza ovens are all the rage in Vermont. And he should know; he used to own a restaurant in Granville, Vt. Last year, Jones sold his business, learned to make pizza and starting peddling his pies on wheels.
"We were having so much fun doing it last summer that I wanted to do it year round, so I came down to Tampa," said Jones, 41, who moved here in November. "I drove this thing down 95, praying the whole way."
Terry Kernan, who owned a deli next to Jones' Vermont diner, works with Jones.
The goods: Pizza by the slice ($3) or whole 18-inch pies ($16). There's no extra charge for toppings, many of which Jones buys at the farmer's market where he's stationed. For private events, Jones offers appetizers and salads.
The cart: "Cart" probably is the wrong word to describe the 2.5-ton Italian-style brick oven that Jones and his friends designed. "I have a friend who's a mason, a friend who's a plumber. It was kind of like a neighborhood project," said Jones, who spent about $10,000 on the endeavor.
Find him: 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday at Largo's Harvest Marketplace, Ulmer Park, 301 W Bay Drive; 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Fridays at Dunedin Green Market, Pioneer Park, Douglas Avenue at Main Street; and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sundays at Tarpon Springs farmers' market, Meres Municipal Plaza, Tarpon Avenue and Alt. 19. His Saturday locations are posted online. Call (727) 412-4844 or see openhearthpizza.com.
Trust Me BBQ
Six years ago, on her way home from a day at the beach, Lenae Snyder saw Roger Trusty operating a roadside barbecue. She pulled over for dinner.
"He was lighting his grill when I pulled up on him," said Snyder, 37. But the two hit it off, so Snyder didn't mind chatting while Trusty got the grill going. "I was probably there two hours, at least," Snyder said. Soon after, the pair started dating, moved to Riverview and began selling food on a corner of U.S. 301 and Balm River Drive.
When a Sunoco gas station opened on that corner three years ago, the owner invited Trusty and Snyder to barbecue in the parking lot and sell their eats inside. He grills the meat. She makes the sides. "He just lucked out that I can cook," laughed Synder, who learned from her stepmother.
The goods: Carribbean-style meat influenced by Trusty's native Jamaica, including the jerk chicken sandwich ($5) and rib meal with two sides ($9). They occasionally sell Jamaican-style full red snapper ($12 to $15 whole). Then there are the stick-to-your-ribs sides ($1.50 to $6 a la carte): macaroni and cheese, baked beans, collard greens and much more. Save room for Snyder's hot peach cobbler ($1.50 to $6 for a single serving or $15 whole). You can also buy a 16-ounce bottle of Trusty's barbecue sauce ($3.50).
The cart: A commercial kitchen inside a trailer.
Find them: Noon to 9 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, noon to 10 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and noon to 8 p.m. Sundays at the Sunoco station at 8624 U.S. 301 S in Riverview. Closed Mondays. Call (813) 919-6410 or search "Trust Me BBQ" on Facebook.
Bean Fiend Coffee Roasters
Paul Ruch once owned a pool hall in New Jersey, where he'd get freshly roasted coffee delivered. Since then, Ruch has fantasized about selling freshly roasted beans out of his house. But that's illegal, so Ruch settled for the next best thing: a cart. He started Bean Fiend last April.
Watching the coffee being made is as therapeutic as drinking it. Ruch pours raw green coffee beans into a roaster, where they churn around and around. He sells 10 varieties of java from across the globe; his best seller is the Ethiopian. "Most of the customers that are into gourmet coffees are very fond of the African coffees," said Ruch, 48. In the summer, he also sells iced coffee.
The goods: Brewed coffee and iced coffee for sale only at events (prices vary). Whole and ground beans are always available. Hawaiian kona costs $23 a pound. All others cost $9 a pound. There's free delivery to anywhere in Pinellas County with a 1-pound minimum order.
The cart: Ruch built his "hut," as he calls it, from recycled materials. The wood came from old fences. He got the steel at a scrap yard. The roof is made from military pup tents.
Find him: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays in the parking lot of the Shell station at Park Boulevard and Oakhurst Road in Seminole (dry beans only); and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesdays at the Downtown Clearwater Farmer's Market. (727) 678-8486; beanfiendcoffee.com.

New Delhi, Dec. 5: The government today said the rules allowing foreign banks to acquire up to 74 per cent in private-sector peers will be in place by the month-end.
The government currently allows foreign banks to buy up to a 10 per cent stake in their private-sector counterparts annually over a period of three to four years within the 74 per cent foreign direct investment (FDI) cap.
Foreign institutional investors, who share this investment ceiling, are also allowed to buy into Indian private banks.
Once the new regulations come into force, foreign banks will be free to own a slice of equity in their private-sector counterparts but the deals will require clearance from regulators, finance minister P. Chidambaram said at a meeting of industry captains from 33 nations organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry and the World Economic Forum.
In a humourous aside, he said, ' but let me warn you, our PSU banks will give you a run for your money.'
Chidambaram also said a pension regulator would be in place by the year-end, a move which is likely to open up the sector to private investment.
The finance minister said the government was discussing insurance reforms and a relevant bill was expected early next year. His statement, which is being interpreted as a veiled reference to a hike in the foreign direct investment cap for the sector, came as a surprise to most business leaders present at the conference.
His earlier efforts to raise FDI levels in insurance firms to 49 per cent from 26 per cent had been blocked by Left parties.
The minister said the country was targeting an FDI inflow of $150 billion over 10 years through a series of innovative reforms.
'My priorities will remain infrastructure, including power, telecom, petroleum, air and sea ports, and the financial sector, which includes insurance, banking and pensions,' he said.
India, riding a crest of reforms, was likely to register a growth of 7-8 per cent, the finance minister said.
He also promised a third wave of reforms, which could see rural transformation mandated by the last elections, reaching out new jobs, better healthcare, basic education and civic amenities to rural India.
'This could unleash an explosive growth rate of 10-12 per cent annually,' Chidambaram said.
The economy grew 8.2 per cent in the last financial year. However, the growth this year is expected to be lower at 6-6.5 per cent.
India has, however, recorded one of the highest growth in foreign investments at $12.5 billion in the first six months of the current financial year, but it is far behind the $40-billion annual investment attracted by China.
'India is growing at a brisk pace and you must seize the opportunity,' Chidambaram urged domestic and foreign investors.

Pegg: I'm Paltrow's muffin man
Simon Pegg often brings Gwyneth Paltrow's family baked goods when he visits their home.
Simon is godfather to the actress' s nine-year-old daughter Apple with Coldplay singer Chris Martin.
He has revealed that pastries are his secret to keeping his famous friends happy and while Gwyneth may be known for her strict exercise and dieting regime, Simon insists her brood love to eat.
"Muffins," he told People magazine about how he stays on the right side of the Hollywood star. "Any kind of gift basket, maybe some toiletries.
"They eat anything, believe me," he laughed "I go around there with a bag of éclairs every time I see them. They scoff 'em down, and I don't even get any."
Simon is crazy about his four-year-old daughter Matilda and was overcome with emotion when his musician pal Chris serenaded the little girl at birth.
"[Chris] sang a song for [Matilda] in Berlin when she was born," he revealed. "He dedicated one of the songs, and I was really chuffed about it.
"She's amazing. She's the centre of my life, and I value spending time with her more than anything. She's the best."
The British funnyman co-wrote and stars in The World's End - a comedy about a group of friends who reunite for a pub crawl and unwittingly becoming humankind's only hope for survival.
He especially loved playing his character, Gary King in the movie because he got to wear Goth clothes.
"It was my favourite character to play, not least because I got to dress like I did when I was 18," he told the Los Angeles Times.

"The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms." (Deuteronomy 33:27)
The highlight of each fall in Andrew's hometown is attending the Riley Days Festival downtown. Every year, their town has a parade, live entertainment, craft booths, and yummy food filling the streets surrounding the courthouse. Andrew's family always looked forward to Riley Days, and they would usually set aside the entire weekend for attending the festival.
During one of these Riley Days evenings, Andrew was having a hard time keeping up with the rest of the family. He had sprained his neck during a dodge ball game earlier that day, and it was really starting to bother him as their family walked around the festival.
Finally, Andrew asked his dad, "Will you carry me?" His dad was glad to carry him, and Andrew was so relieved. It was wonderful to let his body go limp in his dad's arms. Andrew did not have put out all that energy to hold his head up. He could trust in his dad's strength to carry him in a time when he was very weak.
In the same way that Andrew's dad was glad to carry him around the festival that night, your heavenly Father will carry you through difficult times. When you are facing troubles and feel overwhelmed by the weight of them, let God carry you through them. He commands us to cast our care upon Him. Why? Because He cares for us. When you are weakest, He is always strong. Read His Word, and take comfort in His promises to you. God's "arms" will never get tired (His strength and comfort and grace will never wear out) as He carries you through those difficult times. The Bible says that He has "everlasting arms."
If you are facing difficult circumstances and have been trying to work hard in your own strength--stop it! Crawl into your heavenly Daddy's arms; trust Him; and let Him carry you.
God is a refuge, and He has everlasting arms.
My Response: » Have you been overwhelmed by troubles, rather than resting in God's everlasting arms? » Can you handle all your own problems? » How can you help others learn to trust in the God of the Bible?
"We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties."
Oswald Chambers was born into a pastor's household in Aberdeen, Scotland, on July 24, 1874. When he was in his teens, after hearing Charles Spurgeon preach, Oswald was walking home with his father. He told his father that, had he been given the opportunity that morning, he would have trusted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. His father stopped walking and led him to the Savior right there on the sidewalk.
At first, Chambers had no plans to enter the ministry. Instead, he studied at the Kensington School of Art, and then he attended the University of Edinburgh, where he studied fine arts and archaeology. While in college, he felt called to the ministry and transferred to a school where he could study the Bible. Unfortunately, he became bored with the Bible and thought it was "dull." He did not feel that God was really with him anymore. He would continue to feel this way for four long years before discovering his true problem.
What was wrong with Oswald Chambers? He realized that he had been seeking God's blessing and power so that he could live a happy and wonderful life – not so that he could please God. Once he realized this total selfishness, his attitude changed; and he began growing in his love for Jesus Christ and the Bible again. He traveled the world and told everyone about the Gospel. He started a school and shared many wonderful devotionals whenever he was invited to speak.
His wife took careful notes on each of his devotionals and made the decision to publish them into a book after Oswald Chambers died. The book is titled My Utmost for His Highest. Thousands have grown closer to God with the help of this God-centered book.
Do you enjoy your Bible reading, or do you find it boring? What might be wrong with your heart's priorities?
Jeremiah 15:16 – Your words were found, and I ate them, and Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; for I am called by Your name, O LORD God of hosts.
The Lord Mighty in Battle - Jehovah Gador Milchamah
Psalm 24:8 "Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle."
The Lord God is the source of all love, without Him there would be no love. 1 John 4:8 -- He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
Baptism is an immersing of an individual in water as a symbol of washing away sin and is given to those who give a believable profession of faith in Jesus Christ. The New Testament gives us examples of baptism as complete immersion. Jesus Christ gave us an example to follow as he was "baptized" by John the Baptist. (Mark 1:5, 9) "And there went out unto him all the land of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him (John the Baptist) in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins." "And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him."

London Scottish chairman Sir David Reid has admitted the Exiles underestimated how strong the Championship would be this season, but has every confidence they will prevail in the relegation play-offs.
Head coach Simon Amor's men won 20-16 at pool C rivals Esher on Saturday as the fight for survival kicked-off in earnest this weekend.
The Scots, who also face Moseley and Plymouth during the season's climax over the next two months, have only won six games on their return to the second tier of English rugby.
But Reid insisted last year's National Division One champions had learned their lesson and would meet the challenge on the day of reckoning.
"It is a tougher league than we anticipated," he said.
"The top four are very good and the likes of Doncaster and Rotherham are very physical and streetwise.
"We had been aiming to be competing closer to the top and somewhere between fifth and eighth would have been great.
"Of course, we'd have hoped to have done better, but we have learned a lot from the experience and with a bit of luck and hard work, we will be here again next year."
Scottish turned professional two seasons ago having recovered from their first flirtation with professionalism that, ultimately, saw the Exiles demoted to the lower leagues.
They have a three-year plan to establish themselves in the division and make a push toward reaching the promised land of the Premiership.
The Athletic Ground chairman, a former chairman of Tesco, insisted they would not make the same mistakes of the past.
"It has been an incredible journey back to this level from our lowest ebb when we could not cope with professionalism financially," he added.
"There is a place we dream to get to, but we are realistic. We have got to show we can deliver and show our strength in this league before we can push on.
"It costs us £1.5m a year in players' wages and administration costs, but to step up in to the Premiership you need something like £8m or £9m to be competitive. That is a huge step."
Reid, who was recently honoured with a knighthood in the Queen's New Year's Honours List, claimed to have played for every London Scottish team in ascending and descending order during more than 40 years at the club.
And having played with and watched a host of internationals at the Athletic Ground, the 65-year-old looked forward to the time when the Kew Foot Road club can produce its own top level stars again.
"I remember playing a game for the first team against London Welsh and there were 15 internationals on the pitch," he said.
"As a club, we've produced 220 Scottish internationals. The last one came in 1998, so producing another one of our own would be a lovely bonus."

Seismic Testing and Oil Drilling
The March 15 announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management that the Federal government will no longer pursue opening our Eastern Seaboard to offshore oil and gas drilling is the result of strident efforts from a host of diverse groups and leaders from Maine to Georgia to Florida.
"We heard from many corners that now is not the time to offer oil and gas leasing off the Atlantic coast," said Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell in the Department's statement. "When you factor in conflicts with national defense, economic activities such as fishing and tourism, and opposition from many local communities, it simply doesn't make sense to move forward with any lease sales in the coming five years."
Through resolutions and letters, more than 110 towns and cities along our Atlantic coast formally opposed seismic testing and oil and gas drilling in our near shore waters. They were joined in opposition by hundreds of businesses and economic development groups, such as local Chambers of Commerce, development and tourism boards, homebuilder and homeowner associations, and fishery management councils. In listening to the concerns of local officials, business leaders and concerned citizens, Congressional members from both sides of the aisle, as well as bi-partisan delegations from every state legislature on the East Coast, stood strong in opposition – opposition which, for many, may prove unpopular with those who ensured their elections.
Educating the many diverse groups and bi-partisan leaders on the dangers posed by offshore drilling, as well as encouraging opposition through phone calls, emails and letter writing, were hundreds of conservation groups, including the Georgia Conservancy and other organizations in our state. Our voices, and collectively the voices of our members and supporters, were heard.
The Georgia Conservancy envisions a healthy resilient and diverse coastal ecosystem that can endure natural and human disturbances, continue to perform its functions, and support self-sustaining populations of native fish, birds, wildlife and plants. The health of our salt marshes, which comprise nearly one-third of those found on the east coast, and the health of our open waters, which are home to many threatened species, including the North Atlantic right whale, would be without a doubt compromised by the disturbance brought by seismic testing and oil and gas drilling.
"We are more than pleased that drilling in our fragile offshore waters is no longer on the table," says Georgia Conservancy President Robert Ramsay. "Thanks to the work of concerned citizens, local officials and business leaders along our coast, and from a host of organizations that work for the protection of our natural resources, Georgia's coastal ecosystems, along with the species, natural processes and economies that rely upon them, will be free from the threat of seismic testing and potentially disastrous oil spills – free from a disaster not unlike that which our neighbors along the Gulf of Mexico experienced just a few short years ago."
The risks of off shore drilling far outweigh the reward.
Please read our March 2015 comment letters to Georgia Department of Natural Resources regarding the seismic survey applications from Spectrum GEO Inc. and GX Technology Corp.

Im playing around with this piece of code from http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.getJSON/ (see code example further down, pictures with the cats). What i want to do is specify multiple tags, but exclude a certain tag. At http://www.flickr.com/services/api/flickr.photos.search.html the flickr docu states:
tags (Optional) A comma-delimited list of tags. Photos with one or more of the tags listed will be returned. You can exclude results that match a term by prepending it with a - character.
However this doesn't work for me:
tags: "sydney,cairns,roadtrip,-travellersautobarn",
format: "json"
function(data) {
$.each(data.items, function(i,item){
$("<img/>").attr("src", item.media.m)
.attr("alt", item.title).attr("title", item.title).appendTo("#images");
Firebug shows that my API call looks like the following to exclude a certain car dealer who keeps ... erm... "promoting" within those tourist destinations:
but i still get his pictures in the response (see items -> tags ). Has anyone a solution for this, or can tell me what i'm doing wrong here? If i could exclude this guy via user_id this would probably also solve the issue for me.
Is he tagging the photos travelersautobarn? Or is that just the user?
PS: In either case, I would probably redact this on my side of the web service unless he stuff so many photos in the stream that you are declining more than you show.
Hi and thanks for the reply,
Both - he has a user with that name, and adds his brandname to the tags and watermarks all the images with his logo - big enough so you even still recognize it on the thumbnails.I may have to play around with the tags to find more generic ones.Dont think i could exclude the pictures via js on the client side since the number of pictures i get from the api call is quite limited (20?); and eventually i wont find any matching pictures. Open for other suggestions ...

Nottinghamshire captain Chris Read shook hands on a draw at 5pm as rain affected the final day of play at The Parks.
Oxford UCCE had reached 217-4 chasing 452 when rain forced the players from the field. An opening stand of 60 and a personal tally of 71 from Agarwal gave Oxford a solid start in what became a day of match practice for the Nottinghamshire bowlers.
Andy Carter and Steven Mullaney each picked up a wicket after the Oxford opening pair were both run out.
The Nottinghamshire players will address the media on Tuesday and have a final practice on Wednesday ahead of the first match of their LV= County Championship campaign against Hampshire at Trent Bridge.

Daily Blog
The debate over the N word is ridiculous to me on so many different levels. First of all....it's use should be eradicated period! I don't care if you're black or not, it's use is offensive, it shows a lack of understanding of history and it makes one sound un-intelligent.
Some African-Americans say the use of the N word now is meant as an endearing term. Tell that to all those who were enslaved. Tell that to the black men who were lynched, who probably heard that word spoken to them right before they took their last breath. And tell that to all those of all races who marched and worked so hard for civil rights.
Now with all that said....if African-Americans want to use the term as a replacement for buddy...man...dude....fine. But then every race has to be able to use it in the same context. What is good for one has to be good for another. African-Americans should understand that better than anyone.

Good location,on the beach.Recently renovated. Not very clean ,there was mold odor in the room.Breakfast was poor. We did not see any other personel working ,just the owner and his 2 kids (about 10 years old!).The junior suite is as big as a normal room but with sea view,and still they charge that as junior suite.The area outside the hotel building is neglected.
This hotel was Amazing and sits in a Cove in Itilo which is like being in a different world. Superb room & balcony, Amazing bathroom and a fridge! Wonderful breakfast aswell! Itilo is a tiny place with our huge luxury hotel built across the road from the beach, and a couple of other restaurants and that is it, but when you are driving around the Peloponnese for 2 weeks and spending 1-2 nights in each place, Itilo is a great stop to sit and chill and sunbathe, and thankfully we were here for 2 nights, so it was very relaxing. Definately go to the Diros Caves while you are here. Can't wait to return to the Peloponnese and this hotel. The only bad points to this hotel was that we had no hot water during our whole stay. We did mention to the manager after our first shower, and he did say that they had had some electrical fault, so he went to reset it??!!, but we still got no hot water?! Sunbeds need replacing aswell as a lot of them were broken.
Comfy bed, fluffy towels, nice toiletries and sophisticated bathroom decor. Our room was very spacious and had nice view of mountains and sea (with balcony). Local taverna a short walk away. Owner kindly arranged early breakfast (the full buffet) for us our last morning. Not the hotel's fault, and perhaps we timed the tides wrong, but there was only one small pile of ?man-delivered sand on the beach. Otherwise it consisted of large stones and a lot of driftwood/empty plastic bottles, etc so made for a rather soulless sea-front experience. . We also had problems with the water temp, luke warm in the evening (though cranked up when we asked); stone cold our last morning. Clearly an on-going problem.
The rooms are new and spacious. The beach in front of the hotel was ok. Nevertheless nobody seems to look after it. It was not completely clean.
The room was excellent, with very large balcony with a view to the sea. Even better, from the room we had, you could see the sea even when you were lying in bed. I also liked the fact that during breakfast they served home-baked bread, home made marmalade and eggs from their own chickens.
This is a family-run hotel with the owner to be a strong and distinct personality. Very hospitable. I liked the room comfort and the seaview that is fantastic.The breakfast was typical of the area. The region is nice while there are a lot of restaurants serving fresh fish. We strongly recommend it for vacations. We we goo again there.
Theo and his family could not have been nicer. The design and comfort were outstanding. The location, beautiful and peaceful, could not have been better.We can't wait to go again.
This is a great brand new family hotel located not too far from the Diros caves & Mani. Theo is a great guy & hotel owner. Free parking, big rooms, good breakfast, great shower. Easy to find since its on the main road going from Aeropoli/Diros/Mani north to Kardamily / Kalamata. Almost nothing to do in the tiny Itilo village itself so you may consider a hotel in nearby Aeropoli or Gythio. Also Aeropoli is closer to the Diros caves and Mani-Vathia (which is BTW a total waste of your traveling time, don't bother with it). The only negative thing is that the dinner was totally overpriced for what we got and not that tasty. I recommend eating dinner elsewhere.
Everything is very comfortably and traditionally designed. The location and the view are superb! Luxury in affordable price. The breakfast although very delicious, did not had variety. The hot water was not hot enough...
Excellent setting and atmosphere. Lovely family owned place, warm and friendly service. Perfect for relaxing and indulging the surrounding scenery.
Accomodation - fantastic, hospitality - wonderful, breakfast - the best we've ever had! Cannot recommend highly enough! N/A
Excellent people.Very Hospitable . Food was Great. Rooms very luxurious and very comfortable.Close to town, walking distance. Just an excellent place to go and relax for a few days. I will be visiting again and again.
Lovely room and appointments. Great breakfast and charming hosts. The pool was great. Overall, a lovely place and I highly recommend it. Definately a highlight of our trip to Greece and wish we could have stayed there longer. I think the air conditioning needed to be fixed. If I would have been staying longer, I would have said something. Probably a simple fix.
We loved the garden and the pool, even though it's not very big. Our room was comfortable and very clean. Breakfast was very nice, and we especially liked the fact that you didn't have to get there before 9 as some hotels request.
The most beautiful hotel we ever saw in Greece. The house, the garden and the room all are first class. the breakfast was amazing and the owners are very kind
the design of the hotel, the very good breakfast and the politeness of the people
Pleasant, polite and attentive owners. Architecture of hotel, swimming pool, homemade breakfast, amazing suite room cosy and luxurious, private parking. room a bit dusty, slight problems with jacuzzi, no safebox, no hair dryer, no satellite TV, no rubbish bin in the room, area does not offer much to the visitor, problems with WIFI Internet connection, very weak signal
Room nicely done out. Friendly welcome. Attractive grounds. Easy access to the town and to regional attractions. Fruit selection at breakfast looked tired (owners said apples needed dusting off!). Ground over which our verandah looked was mainly building rubble.
Lovely place. Lovely people. Excellent sized rooms. The hotel itself is lovely. The area is perhaps an acquired taste.
Great view to the small bay. The environment justifies the name (stone and light) as the whole facility is made with stone, built on - basically - a rock. Very professional staff
Beautiful castle-like hotel, away from the 'madding crowd', wonderful location overlooking the bay of Limeni........very romantic and perfect for couples wanting to get away from it all...... N/A

PARATROOPERS from Colchester have been training with counterparts from the French Foreigh Legion.
Troops from B Company, 2nd Battalion, the Parachute Regiment, have been working alongside 2e Regiment Etranger de Parachutistes at their base on the rugged island of Corsica.
The soldiers have been training on air, land and sea as the two units build a closer working relationship.
Exercise Blue Legionnaire has seen the two units fire each other's weaponry and practise fighting together in urban areas.
The 2 Para soldiers earned French parachute wings by jumping with French Ensemble de Parachutage Individuel parachutes from a French C-160 Transall aircraft, while jumps from an RAF C-130 Hercules earned 2e REP soldiers their British wings.
2e REP has specialist mountain and amphibious troops who taught 2 Para's soldiers survival techniques and climbing on Corsica's snow-capped mountains.
In the Mediterranean Sea, they learnt how to handle assault boats and attack and defend beaches.
The two-week training exercise was part of the Interim Combined Joint Expeditionary Force (i-CJEF) – a partnership between the British 16 Air Assault Brigade and the French 11e Brigade Parachutiste, which are ready to deploy at a moment's notice on operations ranging from war fighting to disaster relief.
Major Adam Wilson, commander of B Company, said: "2 Para and 2e REP maintain strong links as sister battalions.
"Exercise Blue Legionnaire has been about us seeing 2e REP on their home turf and learning more about how they operate and live.
"It has been a huge success in developing the understanding, respect and trust between our two units, which could prove critical in future operations.
"Corsica has been an excellent location that has allowed us to train in the air, on the land and in the sea. As airborne troops, the sea and high mountains are not familiar environments to us, but it has been rewarding to challenge ourselves and learn new skills."
Corporal Chris Hooper, 26, said: "It's been a different experience to see how another army does its business.
"The legionnaires are a disciplined and professional outfit.
We've worked well together because we've got the same role and mentality.
"It's been a friendly exercise with a lot of war stories swapped – they did an operational jump in Mali last year and we've got a lot to say about Afghanistan."

Australian shares reversed early losses to finish higher, buoyed by banks, as investors awaited the US Federal Reserve's policy meeting later in the week for clues whether the Fed will start to scale back its stimulus program.
The benchmark S&P/ASX200 index was up 34.1 points, or 0.7 per cent, at 4825.9, while the broader All Ordinaries index was up 29.5 points, or 0.6 per cent, at 4805.
Financials reversed early losses to lead the index higher as Japan's Nikkei share average rallied 2.7 per cent.
Options Xpress market analyst Ben Le Brun said banking stocks sparked a terrific turnaround during the day, pushing the local market higher after losses earlier in the session.
''It looks like bargain hunters and traders are ready to take a position prior to the Fed's meeting,'' Mr Le Brun said.
Local investors are nervous ahead of the US Federal Reserve's policy board meeting on Wednesday, amid speculation the Fed will soon wind back its third round of bond purchases, known as quantitative easing.
''Some traders are starting to question if and when that's going to happen,'' Mr Le Brun said. ''It might not be on the agenda for at least a couple more months and that's going to be very positive for risk assets across the board.''
Still, investor appetite for higher-yielding banking and telco stocks has continued, and mining shares were sold off amid concerns about demand in China.
In the banking sector, ANZ gained 63 cents, or 2.2 per cent, to $28.45, Westpac added 53 cents, or 1.8 per cent, to $29.47, Commonwealth Bank lifted $1.37 cents, or 2.04 per cent, to $68.47 and National Australia Bank was up 54 cents, or 1.8 per cent, to $29.92.
Among the miners, Rio Tinto dropped 33 cents to $53.65 and BHP Billiton lost 11 cents to $32.80. Fortescue Metals Group fell nine cents, or 2.7 per cent, to $3.25.
Making news, construction giant Lend Lease announced it would merge its Australian construction and infrastructure businesses.
The company also said earnings from construction activities were down, and its shares dropped 70 cents, or 7.5 per cent, to $8.65.
