Our last day in Puerto Princesa was our last island hopping in Palawan – a tour at Honda Bay, Puerto Princesa's main islands.
We were up as early as 6am so we could set off at 7am. Our flight was at 4pm so we only had a few hours to make do of our last day.
To go to Honda Bay, we rode a tricycle with Kuya Allan and then booked a boat at the Brgy. Sta. Lourdes Tagbanua which is the jump off point for the Honda Bay tour. I rented my snorkel gear and we bought some bread to feed off fish.
We were only scheduled for 4 places because time was limited, still I was excited.
The first island we went to was Pandan Island – which was a gorgeous developed island with lots of huts and flagpoles and snorkeling as the main activity.
Pandan Island was also a family island. Even at the early island hopping hours of 8am, there were already a few boats around the island. We did get to solo the beach for some time though and do a bit of good snorkeling. In fact, the marine life here was very healthy and our tour guide, although not as friendly as Kuya Jake and Kulits, he was an amazing swimmer and he was able to bring us to the best parts for snorkeling.
After an hour or so on the island and taking some time to capture the island's beauty with pictures, we headed off to our next island – Snake Island.
You see, I have this weakness for Snake Islands – not that it has anything to do with my phobia of snakes but since I saw that picture of Snake Island in El Nido which I wasn't able to go to, I've been curious about these snake islands because there are so many islands in the Philippines named Snake island, so I'm kind of curious about the differences of these islands.
Anyway, at our arrival at Snake Island, I finally realized why they called it Snake Island.
The Snake Island in Honda Bay was a long stretch of beach curled to the shape of a snake from air view giving it its name "Snake Island."
At first look, I thought I could walk all the way to the end of the island, I was even so confident just leaving the main area of Snake Island where our boatmen were preparing lunch for us.
The thing was, the February sun was so mean that we barely got halfway!
Okay, so it was really too long to actually walk and we got tired and it became too hot to handle. I was already beyond being sunburned, so why deprive myself of the opportunity of experiencing something new right?
All due to my major stupidness, I lost my slippers somewhere here and had to go barefoot the rest of the trip.
Snake Island curled at the end, and while we were walking, we found brackish waters at the curls of Snake Island, revealing why the beach was so clean (the mangrove tour explained that mangroves clean out all the garbage brought by the ocean, explaining why Sabang and Underground River have really clean beaches).
We walked back to the main area, ready for lunch. Our boatmen had over-prepared our lunch – there were only two of us, and the lunch they had made could've fit at least 4 people!
Anyway, I was full after eating and Ate Leidy headed off to do some snorkeling while I said I'd stay awhile to rest a bit.
I followed them to their snorkeling site about 15 minutes later. I was still full and it was making it really hard to swim over to them – they had already gone to the deep end – but I wasn't really ready to give up my Palawan experiences just yet. Good thing though, because feeding fish at Snake Island was quite a lot of fun.
We left Snake Island just around 11 or 12, I think. Time was running as we had to be back by 1pm.
Our next destination was Starfish Island. I had read many great reviews about this island, but unfortunately ever since being bought off by the owner of Dos Palmas, it hasn't been up to its old image lately. At our arrival there, there was only a few boats around and no official was around to take our entrance fees as stated in Tagbanua's fee chart.
Not an issue for us, we took some time to walk around the beach while our boatman dived around to get us some starfish. Unlike before, most starfish had to be dived around now, but the boatmen said that years back, starfish would be lying everywhere, even near the shores. The island also had some kind of developed accommodations and a famous landmark of some sort that was now nowhere to be found – unfortunately for us. But anyway, we enjoyed some time with the starfishes and got a chance to enjoy the beach one last time before heading off to our next area – which wasn't an island but a snorkeling area.
Did I mention I have some sort of shark paranoia? I did, right? I don't know where I get that, but I guess when you're down there in the middle of the sea with creatures you're not used to being with, you suddenly get paranoid about stuff. Or at least I did. I'm betting Pambato Coral Reef is nothing like the Tubbataha Reef which I am also listing on my soon to be destinations, but I enjoyed the tour. It was an hour tour around the reef, with fish and corals and different kinds of plant life that I was never aware of. It's not that I didn't enjoy it – in fact, I really did, I love the new experience and I imagine diving would feel the same, I guess my paranoia just gets the better of me and every time I don't see what's ahead of me in the waters, I start getting nervous and would swim back to our guide. Oh, and the current was kind of strong so I didn't really want to release the life buoy in fear of being strung somewhere I shouldn't be. I didn't have my underwater cam then either so only Ate Leidy was able to get some photos.
After an hour of snorkeling, we headed back to Tagbanua port where Kuya Allan was waiting for us. I had hurt myself while climbing up from the boat so he lent me his slippers so I could walk off and buy new slippers at the souvenir store – thank you Kuya Allan!
We showered at the port (yes, they have showers there!), we headed back to Puerto Princesa City to pick up our luggage and head to the airport.
Goodbye Palawan! Goodbye Puerto Princesa!

Well well, there were a few shock results this weekend and the ratings have indeed reacted. My own prediction model had Tottenham vs Man City down as a 1-1 draw. The fact that City were unable to score underlines how solid Tottenham are defensively – something I'll get into later when looking at player ratings. My model also predicted Man United to win comfortably (3-0) against a lackluster Stoke City. While dominating the game they were unable to score more than one, and after a rare blunder from David de Gea, gave away a goal that cost the side 3 points. Here's an overview of that game
37.50% of Man United shots came from outside the box yet only 2 hit the target (22%). Perhaps with such dominance of the game they should have tried to work more of their play into the opposition box.
Anyway, that's football for you. Below you will see each team's attack and defence rating following last weekend's action:
The numbers beside each team name show their ratings ranking. The line shows their week by week rating, and the number on the right shows each team's current attack rating. I've added an arrow to show whether a team's rating has gone up or down on the previous week.
Attack Ratings
Arsenal drop in the ratings after just managing to steal a hard-earned draw from Burnley. Wenger's men came away with three points with the last kick of the game, but really they should have been comfortable winners here. Burnley failing to score means that they have now just managed to score 5 goals in 7 games (0.71 goals per game), a joint-low score they share with Stoke City. This sees Burnley drop in the attack ratings to 0.06, the lowest in the league.
Liverpool continue their steady rise with another impressive attacking performance against Swansea. The side did well to come back from an early Swansea goal thanks to Leroy Fer and some uncertain Liverpool defending. Swansea's change is minimal and are the third worst attacking team in the league with a score of just 0.19.
Manchester City cling to the title of best attack even after dropping 0.37 points in their rating. City could not find a way through the Tottenham lines, and surprised everyone by failing to score. Perhaps the game came too soon after their intense European tie against Celtic during the week? Tottenham see their rating increase after beating the league leaders 2-0. They remain ranked 4th in attack as Liverpool and Arsenal are still too far ahead to catch.
Defence Ratings
Manchester City and Tottenham trade places at the top of the defence ratings table after Spurs beat the league favourites 2-0. This rating system is generally a negative one as teams concede goals. The fact that Tottenham a have a positive rating underlines their strength at the back.
Liverpool continue their climb in the ratings despite some defensive insecurities. Klopp needs to settle on a starting back line to gain some more consistency.
Leicester and Southampton see their ratings rise after a dour 0-0 draw at the King Power stadium.
West Ham continue to prop up the table and to haemorrhage goals. A big change needs to be made and soon, perhaps Darren Randolph should get a chance between the sticks after an impressive Euros display with Ireland? One thing is certain though, after conceding 17 (worst in the league – 2.42 goals per game) a tactical rethink is needed.
Everton are a surprising addition back at the top of the defensive table. Looking at the graph below shows the decline Everton faced under Roberto Martinez. Everton were a solid defensive unit under David Moyes, and a change in philosophy had a drastic impact on Everton's back line. While it's only been six games, it looks like Koeman has steadied the ship somewhat and Everton are on a return to their old ways -defensively.
Overall Rating
This chart shows each team's ratings together – attack ratings go from left to right and defence rating go from bottom to top. The further to the top right a team is, the better rating they have in attack and defence.
Manchester City still hold top spot in the overall ratings, however they have dropped a full 0.60 points from last week. Tottenham take over as top defensive side while also boasting a very impressive attack rating. Both Arsenal and Liverpool are having an excellent start to the season and find themselves rated 2nd and 3rd overall. Down in the bottom left corner, it's not looking good for Sunderland, West Ham, or Stoke. Their attack and defence is in serious trouble and a shake up needs to happen soon. Shout out to relegation candidates Burnley, however. Although their attack rating is very poor they have been doing a nice job defensively and find themselves just ahead of the bottom pack.

Cairo (Zamalek / Giza / Tahrir), EGYPT
[ 2k12 - 2 ]
Statement: I was deciding to be a full-time artist by getting rid of all my things by going through them and donating what I absolutely did not need and recycling the rest into art performance workshops, canvas surfaces, and paintings before moving to the Red Sea with only a duffle bag to write a book. This was my second attempt at creating a canvas out of my old job's Administrative garb, which included: a double dress-shirt khaki pants base over window frame, wrapped in Egyptian shewell bag material, Gesso, more Gesso, another layer of Egyptian shewell, even more Gesso, then hand-sewn dress sock canvas, & the most Gesso you ever seen in a 3rd world art supplies store, double-yellow acrylic paint luminous base, sanding, lime green skim, sanding, lime green coat with sanding dust mixed in a stairwell hallway, black oil whipped by rusty chain, aquamarine purple squirted on with an emergency eye cleansing bottle on 7th story stone patio in the breezy sun while fasting on $2 a day in downtown Tahrir, Cairo.
Personal Reflection: The socks represent our blind and calculating march forward regardless of outcome, bound together and painted with fate. The wave, of course, is human emotion. Chain = wild card!

$28-$40 available at Nikki Lipstick
As crazy as this collection is, I kind of want it in my wardrobe.
Available at URB-Clothing
And just when we think we can wait for Isabel Marant's lookbook for H&M to debut, someone thankfully has leaked the collection for all to see. While this is not all of the Boho-Chic line, take a look at what got out. (The collection is available in stores and online November 14).

With the recent release of the Marc Jacobs Beauty collection, it has got me pretty excited about the upcoming collaborations in fashion.
Starting September 15, CFDA's award winning fashion designer Phillip Lim will be debuting his long awaited collection for Target. It's an exciting week for Lim, seeing how the release follows his NY runway show which will display his most recent collection for the 3.1 Phillip Lim line. The long-awaited collaboration with Target will feature simple pieces for men and women with some fun prints thrown into the mix. And for those of you who have dreamed of owning the Pashli Satchel, this might just be your chance to get the next best thing and for a fraction of the cost.
With over 100 pieces to choose from and prices starting at just 20 bucks (reaching $300), you're sure to love this line.
And then following in November (14th to be exact), Isabel Marant will release her collection for H&M. More to come on that but here's a photo to hold you over…
Sources: A Bullseye View, Sephora, H&M
It seems like Target has been doing designer collaborations left and right lately. The idea of offering high-end creations to the everyday public is a great idea to me and allows people who could not normally afford designer clothing the option to be stylish.
Starting April 14, for the first time, Target will feature a celeb stylist in another trendy collab. Kate Young is one of the most renowned stylists in Hollywood and made last years list of the 25 most influential stylists. Although she has never designed before, we all know she has been around fashion enough to create a killer line.
Clothing and accessories will range in price from $14.99 to $89.99

Just one week before 'OZ The Great and Powerful' hits theaters, HSN will be launching a collection inspired by the greatly awaited film. The line will feature accessories and clothing created by designers such as Naeem Khan, Badgley Mischka, Adrienne Landau, Raven Kauffman, Urban Decay, Be&D and Steve Madden. The collection will be available online starting February 14th, and a live event hosted by HSN will air online and be televised March 1 and 2.
Here are a few items you can expect to see…
The Oz collection will have prices ranging from $20 to $1,799.

If you haven't heard of The Shops at Target, listen up!
I'm sure you'll all be disappointed to hear that Target stores will no longer be collaborating with amazing designers like they have done in the past (Missoni, Jason Wu) but they are coming up with a new concept of selling designer apparel.
The Shops at Target will soon be opening in Target stores all over and will sell exclusive one of a kind products designed Target along with a featured boutique. These shops will feature designer stores (The Webster, Miami) and many other great stores (The Candy Store, Cos Bar cosmetics, Polka Dog Baker, and Privet Home) products in six week intervals.
May 6, Target is releasing The Webster for Target! The Webster is a popular and fashionable shop based out of Miami, FL. The Miami and beach-like vibe is perfect for summer time and the prices start at just $14.99.
"I wanted to create a collection of all my favorite pieces—a classic shift dress, seventies-inspired wedges, soft cotton tees for men—that make up the perfect wardrobe for summer," said Dubreuil, The Webster CEO and co-founder.

Intellectual Property Law
Intellectual Property Law Questions? Ask a Lawyer
Clayton, it is a pleasure to assist you today and I hope that all is well. I am a licensed intellectual property attorney with over a dozen years of experience.
It is actually quite easy to trademark your business name (particularly when you are established like you are). Understand that you already have a common law trademark just by using this name in commerce. That said, a federal designation is better protection as it gives you the presumption of being the true owner of the mark and it gives you access to the federal court system to sue if you have to for infringement.
The US Trademark Office has made the application process rather simple. You can file on-line yourself, without the aid of an attorney, through their TEAS system, which can be found at uspto.gov. The system will walk you through the process of applying and the fee is less than $300. You will likely receive an office action from an examiner in the trademark office. They may ask you to change or amend a designation or two, but otherwise you will be good to go.
The system is designed to allow a lay person to file an application for a trademark.
I know the answer seems rather simplistic, but the system is just that easy. You don't need an attorney to file this for you. However, if you get into the application and you feel uncomfortable, you can always back out and retain an attorney to do this for you. I really think you should give it a go yourself before spending thousands on an attorney do to the same thing.
Let me know if you have any other questions or comments. Please also rate my answer positively (three or more stars) so I can receive credit for my work as well.
Best wishes going forward!
Just checking to see if you have any additional questions. I want to make sure you are as comfortable as possible as you move forward. Thanks!
Just checking one last time on you to see if there are any other issues. Thanks

Self improvement is very subjective, but each individual can arm themselves with the most information available. You can improve your persona by learning all that you can to grow, as you can.
Read good articles about personal development. These books have changed many people's lives, and they could do the same for you. When selecting a book, look for positive reviews so that you can have a better idea of the purchase you are about to make.
Be ready to write down ideas wherever you are. You could for instance carry a small notebook with you, or use an app on your phone. Make sure to write down as many details as possible when a new idea comes to you so you can use them later.
Leadership is the first step to personal development. While there are multiple ways to define leadership, most people regard it as influence. Examine yourself as a leader. Which events had the most impact on the way you live your life? What kind of skills have you acquired? What personal qualities do you have that make you a good team player? You will know where your rightful position is in a team after you have answered these questions for yourself.
Humility is a very important trait to have when working on your self improvement. The more humble you are, realizing that there is room for growth, the more willing you are to gain knowledge. After accepting this fact, you will have a desire to seek out knowledge, which will cause you to grow and develop as a person.
Personal Development
Create a personal development plan by determining what your personal values are. It's counterproductive to focus on things that you don't value. Focus on positive aspects to improve. These aspects should mesh with your values. Implementing a plan for personal development can improve both your work and home life in the future.
Regular exercise is necessary to your self improvement. A good diet, a lot of sleep and activity will give you more energy and help you get a healthier and better-looking body. This might sound simple but changing your lifestyle will require a lot of efforts from you.
Always have an emergency fund. Most of the time, it seems that the smallest unexpected expense adds more credit card debt. If you save just a little each week, you will have built up your emergency fund in no time. This fund will help you grow in the short and long term, our debt will go down and not grow.
Your pastor or counselor is there to help. These individuals are trained to listen to your problems and are highly skilled. Their job is to listen to you and your concerns and help you gain a new outlook on your situation. Sharing your issues with such an adviser can result in a greater sense of peace and wisdom.
Ask yourself whether excessive drinking is a major contributing factor in your life. Think about your other harmful habits, like smoking cigarettes. The human body is sacred and it is important that you treat yours right. One way to improve your life is by getting rid of any bad habits that you have. Take stock of how you are living your life and the habits you have accumulated. Which ones do you think you could get rid of right now?
Complex Carbohydrates
In order to help with depression, try to add extra complex carbohydrates to your diet. If you are not consuming adequate amounts of complex carbohydrates, your serotonin levels may be lower than they should be. A good way to increase your intake is by adding whole grains, beans, brown rice, nuts, fresh fruits and raw veggies to your diet.
Regardless of what your needs are and how you decide to pursue them, there is one thing that is absolutely crucial. Make the choice to be active in life and avoid being a spectator. If you just observe your life as it passes you by, you are just waiting for the end and not living.
You need to figure out the things that are the most important and pay more attention to that throughout life. The key to attaining inner peace is knowing what really matters and finding the good in what you have.
Don't waste too much money on comfort items. Spend your time on more productive and useful pursuits. Clean the house, play an instrument or take up a sport. This will reduce stress, save you money and turn you into a more interesting, well-rounded person.
Define something specific you want to change about yourself, and change that. If you spend all your time dreaming about what you want to happen in your life, yet do little to create that life, that life will never happen. It is time to take action toward realizing your dreams.
If you use these tips in this article, you can begin your journey to self improvement. Keep current with new information to keep adding to your strategies towards self improvement.

Geneva: Foreign direct investment (FDI) flows should take two years to regain momentum after a sharp drop in 2009, a UN think tank said on Wednesday as it warned of the risk of economic nationalism during the recovery.
Transnational firms expect a slow recovery in their investment? expenditure abroad to begin next year and accelerate in 2011, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (Unctad) said in its annual survey of 241 multinationals.
The World Investment Survey 2009 found that about half of them even expected their foreign direct investment expenditure in 2011 to rise above 2008 levels, when inflows worldwide reached an estimated $1.4 trillion (Rs67.76 trillion)—about one-fifth less than the 2007 peak.
However, manufacturing industries, hard hit in recent months, are likely to lag behind in the recovery, and the corporate world also fears a bout of investment protectionism.
"The prospects for FDI in the primary sector—mining, agriculture—and services would remain bright for the next few years while prospects for manufacturing would be less optimistic," said Unctad investment division director James Zhan. Zhan said that feared protectionism—barriers to foreign investment in local companies or takeovers—had not materialized so far.
But he acknowledged that the concerns were not unfounded, especially for a more subtle form of "smart protectionism" in economic stimulus packages. "Furthermore, a new wave of economic nationalism could occur in the aftermath of the crisis when the exit of public investment from the bailout of flagship industries might lead to protectionism of 'national champions' from foreign takeovers," Zhan said. Global FDI inflows fell by 54% in the first quarter of 2009, compared with the same period last year, according to Unctad data released in May. That figure is expected to reflect the pattern for the whole year, mainly affecting investment in developing nations and transition economies.

Our new event address is:
4751 Pacheco Pass Highway, Hollister, CA 95023
We are making some big changes this year in our Kiddy Corral and restructuring our entrance fees to include the Kiddy Corral and our Maniac Maze. We hope this will make for a more enjoyable family experience.
If you enjoy a fun fall adventure you'll want to come and check out all the great things we have planned for this season. We've been listening to our customers and this is the perfect time to restructure a few things. We'll still have the Kiddy Corral, Spookley Maze and Maniac Maze but customers will be able to enter all of these areas with one entrance fee. Our animals are getting new homes and everything is getting updated. We are working on getting our permits to build a new fudge shop, store and restaurant all under one roof. Bathrooms and a real parking lot are in the plans too. VERY EXCITING!
- Giant Jumping Pillow
- Ugly Pumpkin Sling Shot
- Corn Cannons
- Pedal Karts
- Mining for Gemstones & Fossils
- Cow Train
- Dinosaur Dig
- Chalkboard House
Opens Sept. 29th through 31sth Oct. 2017

PLEASE NOTE: We are restructuring our event and prices. We will post the new information as soon as it because available.
Follow us on Facebook for updates
Swank Farms is proud to have Spookleythe square pumpkin in our Kiddy Corral as a mentor to young children, teaching them the very important life lesson that it is OK to be different. Children need to feel special just like Spookley does.
Listen to the story of Spookley the Square Pumpkin
In 2013 we added GIANT DINOSAURS lining the path of our Cow Train path making for a Jurassic good time!
Last year our Kiddy Corral went through a make-over building a NEWChalk Board House, expanding our play area, building new Corn Boxes, adding bouncing horsesand even giving our Spookley Maze aface lift. Last year we wanted to add a slide to our Hay Jump and it didn't happen, maybe this year
We have created a special place just for kids……..
In 2005 we put in our Spookley maze based on the best selling children's book "The Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin" written by Joe Troiano. You can walk through the maze reading the story along the way. Learn why it's O.K. to be square in a round world. Visit www.Spookley.com. The book is so special we have designed our school field trip program around it.
If your kids like to play in the sandbox, how about a box filled with corn? Try your hand at an old fashion corn grinder.
We all like walking over a swinging bridge. A little bounce and swing with each step. Nestled amongst stalks of six-foot high corn, kids love it!
Kids enjoy climbing on bales of hay. Jumping off is even more fun!
For kids who like to draw there is our Chalkboard House. The whole inside, walls and ceiling are painted with chalkboard paint.
Have you ever fished for goats? The pole is a cornstalk and goats love corn!
Has your child ever wanted to be a farmer? Thanks to our friends at New Holland Tractor they can jump on a pedal tractor and let their imaginations go wild! If you get hungry or thirsty don't worry, we have a Snack Shack.
Each child gets to choose a pumpkin from our Kiddy Corral Patch to take home.
Don't forget to visit our Pumpkin Patch before you leave or pick your own in our U-Pick Pumpkin Patch, new this year. You'll be able to get all the pumpkins and seasonal decorations you'll need to dress up your home in a festive fall look.
While you're there try your hand at panning for gemstones or fossils at our Mining Sluice. Start a collection!
On your way out to the car, stop and sling a pumpkin at our giant 16-foot "Ugly Pumpkin" slingshot. It's truly fun for all ages!
Or maybe you would like to jump on our Giant Jumping Pillow or Belly Bouncer. Feel the need for speed? Jump on one of our Pedal Karts for a race around the track or try our Cow Train for a bouncy ride through the corn.
We have moved the Labyrinth out of the maze and put a small one out front for all to enjoy. It's fun to watch the kids follow the pathways.
If your child is having a birthday we'd love to put a special package together just for you.
Call 831-637-4704
TEACHERS bring your class to the Swank Farms in October for a special fall FIELD TRIP.

What Is a Digital TV Converter
The wealth of technological products currently saturating the market makes it easy to question what a digital video converter is and what it does. So many acronyms and similar products abound that the consumer is certain to become perplexed. So what is a digital video converter and what does it do anyway?
One company that sells the digital video converter is Plextor, found online at www.plextor.com. Via their website, they sell several different types of converters that do a variety of tasks. The basic principle behind the digital video converter is the same in most cases, which can make finding one and learning about it a little bit easier.
Essentially, a converter converts video into a different format. So a digital video converter, like the ones sold by Plextor, can convert video from your television into a variety of different formats that you can play on your computer or iPod, for instance. You can convert video footage from your TV into MPEG formats, including MPEG-4 depending on the converter you use, DivX and other formats that can make transporting your footage to other formats easy.
Perhaps you have been watching a favorite program on HDTV DVD and you now want to convert the format to MPEG-4 so that you can watch it on your computer or personal media player. A digital video converter allows you to do so. You can capture video and change its format from a wide variety of sources, including your VCR, DVD player, television or camcorder. This allows you to access your footage in whatever format you choose.
Transferring and recording data from your plasma LCD TV into MPEG-4 formatting so that you can share what you've seen is a great way to experience different types of programming and share what you've seen with others on the internet or through other mediums. Even Direct TV HDTV programming can be converted into DivX formatting for easy file transfer and sharing with a digital video converter.
With some digital video converters, you get a multi-format encoder that allows you to transfer the footage into multiple formats at once. This would be similar to recording on a VCR that also recorded in other formats with a single button push. With the right converter, it really is that easy. You can transfer footage from your television to DivX and MPEG-4 with just the push of a button. If you are into technological toys and gadgets, you simply must have a digital video converter.

- The following itinerary should be seen only as a guide. Route conditions, available services and other circumstances can change our daily plans.
(Click on the pictures to enlarge)
Day 1: Meeting in Pamplona
Our tour rendezvous in Pamplona, the city made famous for the Festival of San Fermin and the "running of the bulls". No bulls to run this time , Pamplona is however much more than that. This beautiful town is the historical capital of the Navarre region and you will be glad of the time to experience it properly. We will be meeting at our hotel where we will have a tour briefing at 6:00 pm before going out to enjoy the local tapas bars.
Accommodation: Hotel 3-star (Breakfast included)
Day 2: Roncesvalles - Pamplona (42 km)
After breakfast we'll be transferred to Roncesvalles, a tiny old village in the foothills of the Pyrenees, the most popular starting point of the French Route of the Camino. We will pick up our pilgrims' passports (credential) from the Monastery there so that we can collect the many official stamps along the way to record our progress. The route from here back to Pamplona is a beautiful ride along narrow old roads passing through quaint Pyrenean villages. There will be some climbing along the way but it is mostly all downhill to Pamplona. It's a perfect day for warming up and checking the bikes are in good working order. We re-enter Pamplona through the XIIth century Gothic bridge of La Magdelana and enter the old city to return to our hotel.
Day 3: Pamplona - Estella (52km)
Shortly after leaving Pamplona, a dirt road will take us to el Alto de Perdón (Pass of the forgiveness) the first "serious" climb of the trip. We'll be forgiven, with a blissful downhill all the way to Puente de la Reina (The Bridge of the Queen), where we'll cross the Río Arga (río = river) over its famous six-arched bridge, a medieval jewel of the XI century. It is then up and down through broad cultivated fields and vineyards all the way to Estella. This is a famous wine region delimited by the borders of provinces of Pamplona, Alava and La Rioja. Tonight we'll be staying in Estella, a beautiful old pilgrim's town.
Accommodation: Hotel 3-star (D &B included)
Day 4: Estella - Logroño (49km)
We'll leave Navarre and cross into La Rioja, the region where the famous La Rioja wine comes from. Shortly after our not too early start we will stop at a landmark wine site on the Camino. The site of the 'free-flowing wine fountain', where you could drink as much as you like with compliments from the generous winemakers of "Bodegas Irache". Hopefully not too inebriated we will make it to the capital of the region, Logroño, entering by the great Puente de Piedra (Stone Bridge) over the Rio Ebro, one of the most important rivers in Spain. Our hotel is located in the beautiful historic centre of Logroño.
Accommodation: Hotel 3-star (D & B included)
Day 5: Logroño - Santo Domingo de la Calzada (51km)
Another day among the omnipresent vineyards. We'll leave Logroño old town through an arch in the town's wall called la Puerta del Camino (The Gate of the Way). The Alto de la Granjera is the only climb of the day and the route takes us through rolling farmlands. We'll be staying in Santo Domingo de la Calzada, one of the most beautiful towns of the pilgrimage. It was named after St. Dominic, a monk who devoted his life to helping pilgrims on the way to Santiago. He built the bridge over the Oja river and the roadway to Cercedilla del Camino, which we'll be riding the next day. Visit the Cathedral and learn about why they keep live chickens there.
Accommodation: Hotel 3-star (Breakfast included)
Day 6: Santo Domingo de la Calzada - Burgos (72km)
The day starts with a series of ups and downs while climbing all the way to Alto de Pedraja from where you can enjoy stunning views of the Sierra de la Demanda. From here it is a 10km downhill to San Juan Ortega, whose monastery is one of the gems of the Spanish Romanesque. This makes a great lunch stop but apart from the monastery there is only a small bar so a packed lunch is necessary. After yet another climb to Atapuerca, we arrive in vibrant Burgos, the capital of the province of the same name, with its magnificent Gothic Cathedral, one of the most important in the country. Take time to admire the restoration and its series of flying buttresses. We will now be in the region of Castilla (Castile) where the Spanish language has its origins.
Accommodation: Hotel 3-star (Breakfast included)
Day 7: Burgos - Carrión de los Condes (88km)
There is a Spanish saying "Ancha es Castilla" (Wide is Castile!). You'll understand why in the next 2 stages. It is mostly flat all the way to Leon, with big open spaces and landscape that don't change much, however this area also has its charms. Not much has changed in the way people live in the old towns and villages we will pass through. This region will give you a sense of deep rural Spain as we eat up the kilometres. We will have another picnic lunch at the ruined Conventa de San Anton just before Castrojeriz. We will stay in the relaxing and quiet old town of Carrión de los Condes.
Accommodation: Local inn (D & B included)
Day 8: Carrión de los Condes - Leon (96km)
This is the longest stage of the trip but an easy flat 100km. Like the day before the way is full of long straight roads with fields of sunflowers interspersed with old medieval villages. The city of Leon impressive Gothic Cathedral appears as an incentive on the horizon - a city reflecting the true Spain between the mountains and the plain.
Accommodation: Hotel 3-star (Breakfast included)
Day 9: Rest day in Leon
Meander through the old town and see some of the Roman ruins. Or simply relax and sample some tapas and have cortos (short beer) in the main plaza!
Accommodation: Hotel 3-star (Breakfast included)
Day 10: Leon - Rabanal del Camino (74km)
It's an easy ride to Astorga where it's worth stopping to have a look at their historical buildings of the City Council, the Cathedral and the Episcopal Palace built by Gaudi. In Astorga we will leave the plains behind and start heading towards the Mounts of Leon. There's gradual, and very welcome, change in the landscape which will accompany us for the next 100km. A gentle ascent will take us to the beautiful small village of Rabanal del Camino where we'll be staying overnight.
Accommodation: Hotel 3-star (D & B included)
Day 11: Rabanal del Camino - Villafranca del Bierzo (57km)
From Rabanal it is a tough 5km climb to the top of Cruz de Ferro (The Iron Cross), one of the most iconic sites along the pilgrim's route, where all the pilgrims add a stone to the impressive and massive heap of stones where the iron cross stands. From this point you can see the border of the region of Galicia. What follows is an impressive long 20km downhill to Ponferrada, more than 1000m below, where we'll stop to visit the Castillo de los Templarios (The Castle of the Templars), the old guardians of the pilgrims. From Ponferrada to Villafranca vineyards reappear as this is another important wine area in Spain. Our destination will be Villafranca, one of the most attractive towns on the Camino.
Accommodation: Hotel 3-star (D & B included)
Day 12: Villafranca del Bierzo - Sarria (79km)
This will be the toughest day of our trip. Ahead lays the 30km climb to O'Cebreiro, the Colossus of the Camino, the gateway of Galicia. The climb itself, is only tough in the final 5km when the gradient becomes very steep. Fortunately, the hard work will be rewarded by one of the most beautiful stages of the whole trip. On top, the picturesque village of O'Cebreiro awaits us, with its stone straw-roofed dwellings. After a well-deserved rest, there are the final 2 hills that separate us from the long downhill to Triacastela. From there, we'll continue our descent to Sarria via the amazing monastery at Samos with a few sharp bumps in between.
Accommodation: Hotel 3-star (D & B included)
Day 13: Sarria - Leboreiro (58km)
The last 2 days will be full of small but steep ups and downs. This is one of the most fun days on the bike passing through farmyards and villages. During this stage we'll be in the most rural and untouched part of Galicia where people lives haven't changed much in the last centuries, they are still connected to the land. The narrow roads are shared with the odd vehicle and plentiful cattle, the most important resource of this area. In Leboreiro we'll stay in the most charming and quaint place of our trip, a restored old rural house.
Accommodation: Hotel 3-star (D & B included)
Day 14: Leboreiro to Santiago de Compostela (59km)
This is our final stage. From the town of Melide, we'll follow a wide good dirt road covered in eucalyptus trees. We will meet at the top of Monte de Gozo overlooking the city of Santiago for lunch and then ride the final kilometres together. After lunch we'll head for the famous town of Santiago marked by the most beautiful Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela and the official end of the pilgrimage. There you'll be sharing among many others, the sense of accomplishment that innumerable pilgrims have felt for the last thousand years. Take your pilgrim's passport to the official office and get your certificate for completing this fantastic journey.
Accommodation: Hotel 3-star (Breakfast included)
Day 15: Free day in Santiago
A full day to explore this World Heritage City wandering the old winding streets laden with medieval monuments and squares and sample some of the finest gastronomy in Spain.

Setting up a linux server to forward all incoming mails
Typical thing when having a new site up: you want to get email@example.com to end up in you normal inbox, say Gmail.
Here are the steps!
Note: If you are logged in as root, you do not need to use "sudo" in front of each command.
It's recommended to have a user account to receive the mail other than root.
So either choose a user you have created already or create a new one:
sudo adduser [username]
Does your provider require you to use an SMTP relay? (check the documentation, or ask). You need to know this to continue.
Install postfix
Postfix is a software package, a MTA, it handles incoming mail and forwarding.
sudo apt-get install postfix
And answer all configuration questions as below:
Server configuration type: If you use an SMTP relay, choose "Internet with smarthost", otherwise "Internet"
System mail name: [yourdomain.com] (no subdomain)
SMTP relay host: [smtp.yourprivider.com] (only showing if you chose "Internet with smarthost")
Root and postmaster mail recipient: The
Other destinations to accept mail for: keep the suggested defaults and add in front [yourdomain.com] and a space
Force synchronous updates on mail queue: no
Local networks: keep suggested
Use procmail for local delivery?: yes
Mailbox size limit: 0
Local address extension character: +
Internet protocols to use: all
Manual configuration
All edits with
sudo if you not logged in as root.
/etc/postfix/main.cf add following two lines to the end
virtual_alias_domains = [yourdomain.com] virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
/etc/postfix/virtual and add
@[yourdomain.com] [email@example.com]
Finally, after editing this file call

If you forward to Gmail, do not use the same address to send test mails that the mails will be forwarded to — Gmail will silently ignore/delete mail where the sender and recipient are the same and you will think the forwarding does not work.
Scale images for the web — quickly
Starting Gimp just to scale down some photos to send them by mail? Meh.
How about mark them, right-click, "Send To" -> "Scale for web"?
No problemo:
First, get a tool to scale images:
sudo apt-get install imagemagick
Now, create a script that takes a list of images as input, scales them down, and stores them with a prefixed file name. Go!
#!/bin/bash pwd > ~/f0.txt echo "$@" > ~/f1.txt for file in $@ do convert "$file" -quality 50 -resize 1024x768 "${file%/*}/web-${file##*/}" done
Make sure we
chmod +x the script file we just created.
Next, let's integrate it into "Send To". (This is an example for Thunar)
Create a
.desktop file in the
sendto folder, e.g.
/usr/share/Thunar/sendto/scale-for-web.desktop with following content:
# Scale images for the web [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Version=1.0 Encoding=UTF-8 TryExec=scale-for-web Exec=scale-for-web %F Icon= Name=Scale for the web MimeType=image/jpeg;image/jpg;image/png
Replace both
scale-for-web with the name you gave to your script file. Is the script's folder in
$PATH? No idea? Then just put the entire path+filename.
Now, open Thunar, select some images (Jpeg or Png), right-click, "Send To" -> "Scale for the web", wait a few seconds and you'll see
web-....jpg files appearing in the same folder.

Hash in JS
Generating hashes from strings is a very handy thing to have. Surprisingly, in JavaScript, an arithmetic-operation-based algorithm is about *three times* faster than one using bit-wise operators–see for yourself. I suggested to add the most performant method as hash method to underscore.string.js.
So much about statements on stackoverflow like
hash << 5 - hashis the same as
hash * 31 + charbut a LOT faster.
(cf. here)
In times of interpreted languages and virtual machines one should reconsider before applying the same old rules again.
p.s. If you know about alternative algorithms/implementations, please add them to the test and leave a comment here, I'm curious to see what else there is. Btw. I was very surprised that the neat reduce-based version failed so miserably.

Callback Method for Twitter's Typeahead
When you start using Twitter's typeahead, e.g. because you switched from Bootstrap 2.3 to 3.0, you will notice that it is NOT a simple drop-in replacement for Bootstrap's original typeahead!
Before, you generated the suggestions shown to the user by implementing a callback method while creating the typeahead like this:
$(field).typeahead({ source: function(query, process) { ... return a list of suggestions (see doc for details) } });
Since version 3, Bootstrap does not provide its own typeahead any more, instead it is using Twitter's own implementation which seems to be a good choice at least on the long run. But it does not provide any mean for defining a callback method to provide the suggestions — no clue why.
Instead you can provide a predefined array locally, a predefined array that will be loaded on start-up, or a remote service defined by a URL.
You will find several good examples of why you need a callback method sometimes.
- You want/have to use a Javascript library to access the service.
- There is no database for the suggestions, they a generated on the fly, e.g.if you want to suggest sentence completion while the user types.
- You are using Meteor's collections holding your suggestions, thus, there is no URL you could point to.
But taking a look into the internals revealed following solution: completely by-pass the internal suggestion aggregation of Twitter's typeahead by replacing the
getSuggestions(query, callback) method of the first dataset, which we defined by
local: [];.
(t = $("field")).typeahead({ local: [] }); t.data("ttView").datasets[0].getSuggestions = function(query, callback) { var suggestions = ... gather your suggestions here ... var data = []; for (suggestion in suggestions) { data.push(this._transformDatum(suggestion)); } callback(data) }
(Translated from Coffeescript on-the-fly — consider as a draft than an out-of-the-box solution.)
Happy hacking.
p.s. for Meteor users: The callback breaks each time the template gets re-rendered — despite that you use the package
preserve-inputs or
<#constant> due to a bug. Somehow, constant areas and that particular package do not get along with each other. Solution: removed the package and use constant areas around typeahead input fields works. This should be fixed as soon as the new template engine gets rolled out.
Using GWT's DateTimeFormat in Server-Side Code
I was working on some utility class to format dates. As the formatting is the same on server and client the same class should be used on both, server and client. Within the GWT framework there is the
DateTimeFormat class which seems to be supposed to do exactly that.
But despite being in the shared package (
com.google.gwt.i18n.shared.DateTimeFormat) using it in the server-side code causes
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: ERROR: GWT.create() is only usable in client code! It cannot be called, for example, from server code. If you are running a unit test, check that your test case extends GWTTestCase and that GWT.create() is not called from within an initializer or constructor.
Having a look into the code of the
DateTimeFormat class (which is part of the shared package of the GWT framework, thus can be used on server and client) reveals there is an import of
com.google.gwt.i18n.client.LocaleInfo. But this class is part of the client package — thus, it can not be used in the server-side code. It's unclear to me why this was done like that because it simply can not work by definition…
Going down a bit further in the code of the
DateTimeFormat class shows that the client package class
LocaleInfo is used only once like this:
private static DateTimeFormatInfo getDefaultDateTimeFormatInfo() { // MUSTFIX(jat): implement return LocaleInfo.getCurrentLocale().getDateTimeFormatInfo(); }
The line is marked as "MUSTFIX" but for some reason it has not been fixed yet.
There is a way to fix this issue that worked for me:
- Copy the content of
DateTimeFormatto a new file in your own code
- Remove the import of
- Changing the following method (starting in line 656) like this:
private static DateTimeFormatInfo getDefaultDateTimeFormatInfo() { return new DefaultDateTimeFormatInfo(); }
- And use this newly created class from now on in all your code.
The fix does not seem to cause any major harm, but as John A. Tamplin (cf. his comment below) clearly pointed out, applying this fix will render all dates using the default locale instead of using the user's locale. Thus, this fix should be considered a hack rather than a patch — but it does the trick until the bug has been fixed officially.
The hack can be applied quickly — or simply download the fixed class here.
p.s. Unfortunately, it is not possible to just overwrite the method in a derived class because it's a static method and private anyway.
p.p.s. As suggested in the comments, you might also initialize the
DateTimeFormat with a
new DefaultDateTimeFormatInfo() as the second paramenter. (Please note that I did not verify this suggestion) In general, both ways of fixing this issue will cause that the date and time to be formated using the default locale rather than the user's current locale, unfortunately.
How to Use JQuery in GWT
After adding the JQuery script to your project HTML file's header section
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
You will be able to use JQuery in native (JSNI) methods by prepending
$wnd., e.g.:
private native void someMethod() /*-{ $wnd.$(function() { $wnd.$('#somediv').doSomething(); }); }-*/;
$wnd. you will end up with following error:
com.google.gwt.core.client.JavaScriptException: (ReferenceError): $ is not defined
JUnit-Testing and GAE APIs
Some issues I encountered when testing a new Java library for loading multiple URLs in parallel on the Google Apps Engine (GAE) (more about that library in another post).
Here are some of the typical errors you might encounter:
Missing timeout class
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.mortbay.thread.Timeout
Context menu on project: Properties -> Build Path -> Order and Export: move GWT SDK *above* App Engine SDK (cf. here)
Compilation unit was not seen
com.google.gwt.junit.JUnitFatalLaunchException: The test class 'com.test.client.MyTest' was not found in module 'com.text.Module'; no compilation unit for that type was seen
- The test class needs to be within a package that is configured in the module file (*.gwt.xml). You should create a new source folder (Context menu on project -> New -> Source Folder) and create the whole package structure you use within your project up to
client, e.g.
com.company.client, and put your GWT tests in it. This way you make sure that the tests are not going to be deployed to GAE later on.
- If you are testing client-side code, your test class needs implement GWTUnit *and* be run as GWTUnitTest *not* as JUnitTest
API package not found
java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.google.apphosting.api.ApiProxy$CallNotFoundException: The API package 'urlfetch' or call 'Fetch()' was not found.
The GAE environment has not been initialized.
- Set up the required libraries for testing:
- Context menu on project -> Properties -> Build Path -> Libraries -> Add Variable -> Configure Variables -> New…: Set "SDK_ROOT" as name and search you disk for "appengine-api-stubs.jar" and copy the part before "/lib/impl" into the text box named "Path"
- Select "SDK_ROOT" from the previous dialog, click "Extend…", unfold lib and impl and select "…labs.jar", "…stubs.jar", and "…api.jar"; unfold "lib/testing" and select "…testing.jar" — done, whew.
- Add following lines to your test class:
private final LocalServiceTestHelper helper = new LocalServiceTestHelper(new LocalURLFetchServiceTestConfig());
@Before public void setUp() { helper.setUp(); }
@After public void tearDown() { helper.tearDown(); }
- Have a look in
com.google.appengine.tools.development.testingto see all the services/APIs available for testing and replace
LocalURLFetchServiceTestConfigwith the one you need.
I tried to keep it as brief as possible, for more details have a look at this page.
gwt java: ant code code reuse eclipse example fix gwt library tutorial web application
leave a comment
Multiple Projects and GWT
When working on several large scale projects (in Eclipse), it's convenient and of course more efficient to share and reuse code via common libraries. While those are in an early stage they need to be changed a lot and therefore it's handy to link projects in instead of creating new jars each time the library has been updated.
Unfortunately, this standard approach for Java development in Eclipse does not work that straight forward as with plain old Java projects, it requires three steps in total:
- Link the library project to all relevant projects ("Project Preferences" -> "Java Build Path" -> "Projects" -> "Add…")
- Then, add the client-side code of the library (by adding it as a module.) Therefore, edit the gwt.xml of your application and add for example
<inherits name="net.svenbuschbeck.gwt.lib.SuperLib "/>where SuperLib is the file name of the gwt.xml file in you library project and before that is the package it lies in.
- Add the code to the project by linking a source folder. Unfortunately, this is required if you do not want to write an Ant script to compile your application. (If you prefer Ant check this out) I don't like the idea of using such a script because if you forget to run it each time you make changes, you will end up in confusion—let's go for the convenient, automatic way then.
- Add a folder to your application project; open the "advanced" section in the folder creation dialog, select "Link to alternate location" and pick the source folder (usually "src") of your library project. (Hint: if you work within a team using a versioning system, you can create a variable for that folder and use this instead. This way, each of your colleagues can put the library project in a different folder and accommodate for that by adjusting the variable )
- Right click the folder, "Build Path" -> "Use as Source Folder". Done.
Surprisingly, the GWT plugin for Eclipse does not honor the project linking, thus all the references need to be made explicit or you will end up with lots of the following: ClassNotFoundException.
Sorting Lists in GWT
Quick one:
Lists.sort(list, comparator) is not implemented in the GAE JVM.
But, as a replacement/alternative,
Collections.sort(list, comparator) is.
How to Execute Code When the GWT Application Is Going Down
My goal was to store the UI state of my application just before it gets terminated to be able to restore it next time the way the user left it the other day.
I tried to add an
addAttachHandler to the
RootPanel to get informed about the root panel getting detached from the DOM so that I can finalize my application. Surprisingly, that does not work in Chrome (tested Chrome and Firefox only).
But besides that this sounds like a bug to me, I found the "proper" way of doing things before the application ends:
Window.addWindowClosingHandler(new Window.ClosingHandler() { @Override public void onWindowClosing(ClosingEvent event) { ... } });
In the end, I think something like
Document.addUnloadHandler would be more suggestive… closing the window or reloading a page is both exiting the application by unloading the DOM — not closing the window.
Disable an Anchor in GWT
Unexpectedly, calling
setEnabled(false) does not prevent a link/anchor from being clicked. That means, the click events still get triggered.
The reason is more or less a bug in GWT as it updates the list of events that are going to be triggered only at the moment when it gets attached to the DOM (Btw, in GWT, this process is called to sink and to unsink events, where the former enables a specific event to be triggered and the latter disables it).
I found a workaround by creating my own Anchor class and forcing the underlying GWT Anchor to update the list of events to be sunk.
... import com.google.gwt.event.dom.client.ClickHandler; import com.google.gwt.user.client.Event; public class Anchor extends com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Anchor { @Override public void setEnabled(boolean enabled) { super.setEnabled(enabled); if (isAttached()) { onDetach(); if (enabled) { sinkEvents(Event.ONCLICK); } else { unsinkEvents(Event.ONCLICK); } onAttach(); } } @Override protected void onLoad() { super.onLoad(); if (isEnabled()) { sinkEvents(Event.ONCLICK); } else { unsinkEvents(Event.ONCLICK); } } }
Note the
onLoad method, it sets up the state when the widget gets attached to the DOM the first time. It is required because
setEnabled() could have been called before the anchor got attached.
If you encountered the same issue, please vote for this bug report.
Java Cookies from the Future Past
While working with cookies in Java/GWT and thus—to set the expire date—with
Date, I found a doubtful Java behavior.
My goal was to set a cookie to expire in about one month from today like this:
Date expires = new Date(new Date().getTime() + 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 30); Cookies.setCookie("myCookie", "myData", expires);
And kept wondering why the cookie never got stored.
And finally created a simple test case like this:
Date today = new Date(); Date tomorrow = new Date(today.getTime() + 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24); Date nextMonth = new Date(today.getTime() + 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 30);
And got following dates:
today=Mon Feb 07 14:27:50 CET 2011 tomorrow=Tue Feb 08 14:27:50 CET 2011 nextMonth=Tue Jan 18 21:25:02 CET 2011
According to Java's calculation, the cookie was expired already before even being set.
Took me a bit to understand why:
1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 30 = 2,592,000,000 = 0x9A7EC800
Thus, the first bit got set to one… a classical overflow causing the integer value to become negative — just try:
System.out.println(1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 30);
It will print out
Fix: Add a little
L will solve the issue by forcing the compiler to calculate using the scope of
Date nextMonthLong = new Date(today.getTime() + 1000L * 60 * 60 * 24 * 30);
I guess I will fall for that one again sometime as the error is not obvious in my opinion — especially because
getTime() returns a
long and still, the compiler sticks with an
int for the multiplication part.
Disable Context Menu in GWT
To make use of the right mouse button, it is necessary to disable the native browser context menu (the popup menu appearing on right click). This can be achieved like this:
RootLayoutPanel.get().addDomHandler(new ContextMenuHandler() { @Override public void onContextMenu(ContextMenuEvent event) { event.preventDefault(); event.stopPropagation(); } }, ContextMenuEvent.getType());
Same should work for
After that, it is possible to make use of the right mouse button for example like this:
someWidget.addDomHandler(new MouseMoveHandler() { @Override public void onMouseMove(MouseMoveEvent event) { if (event.getNativeButton() == NativeEvent.BUTTON_RIGHT) { ...

Authentication with FlickrJ
When you know about username and password logins, the whole Flickr authentication process for web applications seems a little weird on first sight, nevertheless it is logical and necessary after you have done some reading (for example the official Flickr WebApp Auth HowTo).
To get started and into coding quickly (using FlickrJ and Java) I recommend this page. Especially the code example is excellent in my opinion! Thanks Andy Sacher!
Casting collections in Java
Assuming two classes A and B as
class A {} class B extends A {}
It is just logical that casting B to A works fine:
A anObjectOfClassA = new B();
But when it comes to collections of As and Bs, a strange phenomenon appears in Java:
Collection<B> collectionOfBs = new LinkedList<B>(); Collection<A> collectionOfAs = (Collection<A>)collectionOfBs; // this line does not compile!
That is, though the collection wrapper (the java.util.Collection class) is the same and B extends A, casting a collection of objects of class B to a collection of objects of class A throws an compile-time error.
But it works using generics (the whole class for the sake of completeness and reusability):
import java.util.Collection; import java.util.LinkedList; public class CollectionCastingExample { class A {} class B extends A {} Collection<B> collectionOfBs = new LinkedList<B>(); // Collection<A> collectionOfAs = (Collection<A>)collectionOfBs; Collection<A> collectionOfAs = downCastCollection(collectionOfBs, A.class); /** * Casts a collection of objects of class B where B extends A to a collection of objects of class A. * * @param <T> Base class * @param collection Collection of objects of a class extending T * @param aClass Representation of T * @return Collection of objects of T casted from given collection of objects of a class extending T. */ @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") public static <T> Collection<T> downCastCollection(Collection<? extends T> collection, Class<T> aClass) { return (Collection<T>) collection; } }
Despite the fact that a
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked") is required, it avoids iterating over the whole collection of Bs and casting each of them from B to A plus adding them to a new collection of As.
Adding a New Service (GWT)
Adding a new servlet/service to you GWT application is quite straight forward, e.g. by copying the example "greetingService" or creating a new servlet. But it's easy to overlook a required change/adjustment of your project's configuration and you might end up with an error message like "Blocked attempt to access interface 'some.package.SomeService', which is not implemented by 'some.other.package.SomeOtherServiceImpl'; this is either misconfiguration or a hack attempt".
Check list (some should be replaced with whatever you want to call your new service):
- Copy or create files:
SomeService.java and SomeServiceAsync.java in client package
SomeServiceImpl.java in server package + change implementation statement to SomeService
- Adjust web.xml:
<servlet> <servlet-name>someServlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>some.package.SomeServiceImpl</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>someServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/[copy base directory name from other service declaration]/some</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>
- Annotate interface SomeService.java:
- Connect to your new service in the client:
private final SomeServiceAsync someService = GWT.create(SomeService.class);
Definitely some possibilities to make a mistakes or miss something here.
Using the XML Parser in GWT
I tried using the XML parsing features of the GWT like that:
form.addSubmitCompleteHandler(new SubmitCompleteHandler() { @Override public void onSubmitComplete(SubmitCompleteEvent event) { // One time upload only, to upload again, user needs to start the upload process from scatch – keeping it simple for now panel.clear(); Window.alert(event.getResults()); Document result = XMLParser.parse(event.getResults()); ... });
But GWT kept telling me "No source code is available for type com.google.gwt.xml.client.Document; did you forget to inherit a required module?". It turns out, you are required to explicitly add the XML functionalities to your project by adding following line to your .…gwt.xml file:
<inherits name='com.google.gwt.xml.XML'/>
Raises a question: What's the point of AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) without XML? Or in other words there is no AJAX without XML! So it's up to you to add the AX part to GWT manually. What's next?
Simple redirection using PHP and HTML meta tag
Something everyone needs once in a while… maybe you moved a file on your server or you did not install wordpress in the root folder of your webserver — like I did neither — a redirection or forwarding can be an easy answer.
The script is rather simple — it redirects in three ways to provide a reasonable fall back if any of the automatic redirecting fails. To use it on your server, just enter the URL/address/file name/folder you would like the user to be redirected to in the second line of the page/script.
<?php $url = 'put your URL between the parenthesis'; header("Location: $url"); ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"/> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=<?php echo $url; ?>"/> <title>You will be redirected... </title> </head> <body> If you are not redirected automatically, please click <a href="<?php echo $url; ?>">here</a>. </body> </html>
good & bad usablity
the tap example
Everyone interested in HCI and Usability saw the cover picture of The Design of Everyday Things by Donald Norman. But there are examples about good and bad usability all around us, every day and I want to share one of mine.
I realized how much more comfortable the shower tap at my parents place is, compared to the one in my shared flat.
The example to the left is a typical one — most probably following an assumption like "this tap is working for the washbowl, so it will do for a shower as well". As it is mounted waist-high, it is easy to reach, also by mistake, which can be quite dangerous as it can easily be turned towards hot water by a slight touch. The re-engineered example on the right shows a functional and easy-to-use solution, in addition, the water temperature can be set up very precisely, but most important, there is no way to change the water temperature by accident as it is selected with a knob. Additionally, due to the knob, its almost impossible to reach the handle, which is used to set up the water amount, by accident.
fixing flex VideoDisplay CuePointManager
I was creating a Flex application to show slides and a presentation video of previously recorded presentations. Accordingly, each slide should appear at a certain point of time in the video — calls for cue points!
As all slides and there appearance are stored in a text file in my case, I started adding cue points with ActionScript. But as soon as the video can be controlled with a slider, allowing to shift for– and backwards, the event handler "cuePoint" was not triggered any more. Thus, the slides where not changed correctly as the user jumps ahead, as the cue points between the previous and the new position did not cause and cue point event.
Finally I wrote AdvCuePointManager, inheriting from CuePointManager, but which can deal with jumping back– and forward.
Copy it to "<your source folder>/net/svenbuschbeck/flex/video" and use it as follows:
<mx:VideoDisplay cuePointManagerClass="net.svenbuschbeck.flex.video.AdvCuePointManager" />

how to install memchached 1.2.2 from source
I have installed an instance of memchached version 1.2.2 on one of our servers (Debian etch) today and to keep you from spending a whole afternoon, see my everything-step-by-step instruction below.
Memchached is a distributed hash map, which can be used for example to speed up any kind of web application, see website for details. In our case, we want to use it as temporary data store. I will report about the experiences in a latter post.
Always refer to this page for details, but I created a version with less text but including steps to really start from scratch.
All lines starting with # are command lines, i.e. you need to type into a linux shell.
Output of any kind is always surrounded by " even if it is multiline output.
a. get libevent (needed to install memcached)
b. get memcached and verify installation
c. use and test memcached within Java with junit/ant
a. installing libevent 1.3
a.1. check for current version of libevent
Log in as root or get super user rights by calling su
# updatedb
# locate libevent
If there is output including "libevent1" and/or "libevent-1″ (ignore package files like *.deb) -> a.1b, otherwise a.2
a.1b. removing old libevent version
# apt-get remove –purge libevent1
# updatedb
# locate libevent
Should now return nothing or package files only, i.e. you are ready for installation
a.2. installing libevent 1.3
a.2a downloading and unpacking
# cd /usr/local/src
# wget http://monkey.org/~provos/libevent-1.3b.tar.gz
# tar zxvf libevent-1.3b.tar.gz
# cd libevent-1.3b
a.2b. configuring
# ./configure
check the output, if it contains something like "configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH" -> a.2c. otherwise a.2d.
a.2c. compiling
# apt-get install gcc
Redo a.2b.
I got output like "C compiler cannot create executables", reading file 'config.log' did not help me at all. Googling finally did, as I found a forum entry, pointing out a missing lib.
So try this:
# apt-get install libc-dev
Redo a.2b.
If that did not solve it… sorry … google on, there is no sense in going on without solving this issue. :-/
a.2d. make it!
# make && make install
If you get something like "-bash: make: command not found" -> A.2e, otherwise A.3.
# apt-get install make
Redo a.2d.
a.3. configuration
Press the Esc key as you read [esc] in the commands below.
# vim /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libevent-i386.conf
# i/usr/local/lib/[esc]:wq
# ldconfig
b. install memchached and verify installation
b.1. download, unpack and install memchached
# cd /usr/local/src
# wget http://danga.com/memcached/dist/memcached-1.2.2.tar.gz
# tar zxvf memcached-1.2.2.tar.gz
# cd memcached-1.2.2
# ./configure
# make && make install
After installing gcc and libc-dev in section a, this one went easily for me — if you skipped section a and run in problems here, please install gcc and libc-dev (see a.2c).
b.2. verify installation of memchached
b.2a. start memchached server
# memcached –u www-data –vv
Output should end with line "<3 server listening". Perfect!
b.2b test server
I will refer to this shell in front of you as server shell below. Now, open another shell on the same machine, I will refer to it a client shell.
# telnet localhost 11211
You should see something like "<7 new client connection" on the server shell, switch back to client shell.
# set test1 1 10000 1
# a
You should see "STORED" on client shell and the two following lines on server shell
"<7 set test1 1 10000 1
You did it, your memcached is up and running
c. memcached and Java
I wrote a little test package using a Java client library for memcached from here, together with junit and ant. You can download it to have a look how simple using memcache is and to verify your installation with an included junit test, automated with an ant build file.
