Apache Derby part 3: Stored Procedures
by vincent
Posted on Tuesday Aug 04, 2015 at 12:54AM in Relational Database
In the previous part, we created a small database to store movie titles and the media type. In this part we will create and load a Stored Procedure into that database to make it really easy to add movies using the "ij" command-line tool with one simple statement.
First a warning. Most dedicated DBA's will probably hate you when you ask them to enable Java stored procedures support in their database. I don't think it's really considered common practice, but many enterprise-grade database systems offer stored procedures written in Java. I can think of many reasons not to do this, but there are probably cases where it can be a good solution. Since Derby is a database management system implemented fully in Java anyway, it's make a bit more sense here. There's a nice article on the official Oracle Nashorn team blog about this subject.
We will create a simple stored procedure that can be used to easily add a movie using a single CALL AddMovie('Movie Title', 'Media Name') statement. What it will do is simply look up the media record by name, then create the specified movie record. So it saves you from looking up the media id manually or using a subquery to do it with one query. I will never recommend to use stored procedures like this in an application (in this case for performance reasons, applications should look up the id of the media once and cache that), but if I'd plan to add many records manually using SQL and a command-line tool like "ij", then I'd seriously consider adding a utility stored procedure like this for convenience. That is, if the table contained more fields :)

Apache Derby part 2: Getting started
by vincent
Posted on Tuesday Jul 21, 2015 at 12:07AM in Relational Database
In the first part of this series, I've introduced the Apache Derby database management system. Let's now download Derby and get it up and running by creating a small database.
I am a dedicated NetBeans IDE user (in fact, I am a registered NetBeans project contributor, thanks to my involvement with the NBPython project). I'll be using NetBeans throughout the rest of the series, but on this post I'll only be using the interactive commandline tool "ij".
Note that I assume the reader has basic skills to use Java and SQL, this is not a Java/SQL tutorial.
Downloading Derby
Go to http://db.apache.org/derby/ and choose "Download". At the time of this writing 10.11.1.1 (August 26, 2014) is the latest Official Released Release. Click on the version, then download the bin distrubution. In my case, the filename was db-derby-10.11.1.1-bin.zip.
Setting up Derby
Copy and unzip the zip file in a directory that pleases you. If you are using Windows, preferably do not put it in the Program Files directory, unless you know how to do this with administrator rights. In the examples below, I choose to unzip the ZIP file in my c:\Java directory (I am writing this on a Windows machine).
Open Command Window in Windows (Terminal in Linux) and change current directory to the unzipped directory) Derby's manual suggests setting the DERBY_HOME environmental variable is required. This is also a good moment to check if Java is installed correctly on your machine.On my Windows machine:
cd \Java\db-derby-10.11.1.1-bin
set DERBY_HOME=\Java\db-derby-10.11.1.1-bin
java -version
if the last command produced a Java version number that is 1.7 or 1.8 or higher you'll be good to go. Otherwise you'll have to install or re-install Java on your machine.
On Linux, you'll do something like (assuming you have a "java" directory in your home directory and you unzipped the ZIP file there. Substitute your username for USER):
cd ~/java/db-derby-10.11.1.1-bin
export DERBY_HOME=/home/USER/java/db-derby-10.11.1.1-bin
java -version
If you plan to use the Derby commandline tools extensively, you'll have to add the bin directory to the path and ensure the DERBY_HOME environmental variable is set on each boot. This is out of scope for this tutorial, IMO.
Now create a directory to store the databases. I'd recommend to not store those in the db-derby-10.11.1.1-bin directory, to make upgrading your version of Derby easier.
I have created a "derby_databases" directory in my java directory.Windows (Linux uses will know how to do this, I assume)
mkdir \java\derby_databases
Running ij and creating our first database in embedded mode
If we set up everything correctly, we should now be able to start "ij" the interactive Derby CLI utility.Windows: (Linux users, start "./ij")
cd \java\db-derby-10.11.1.1-bin\bin
A simple "ij version 10.11" screen should appear with ij> prompt. Type "help;" here - do not forget the semicolumn ; - and press enter
ij version 10.11
ij> help;
Supported commands include:
PROTOCOL 'JDBC protocol' [ AS ident ];
-- sets a default or named protocol
DRIVER 'class for driver'; -- loads the named class
CONNECT 'url for database' [ PROTOCOL namedProtocol ] [ AS connectionName ];
-- connects to database URL
-- and may assign identifier
SET CONNECTION connectionName; -- switches to the specified connection
SHOW CONNECTIONS; -- lists all connections
AUTOCOMMIT [ ON | OFF ]; -- sets autocommit mode for the connection
DISCONNECT [ CURRENT | connectionName | ALL ];
-- drop current, named, or all connections;
-- the default is CURRENT
SHOW SCHEMAS; -- lists all schemas in the current database
SHOW [ TABLES | VIEWS | PROCEDURES | FUNCTIONS | SYNONYMS ] { IN schema };
-- lists tables, views, procedures, functions or synonyms
SHOW INDEXES { IN schema | FROM table };
-- lists indexes in a schema, or for a table
SHOW ROLES; -- lists all defined roles in the database, sorted
SHOW ENABLED_ROLES; -- lists the enabled roles for the current
-- connection (to see current role use
-- VALUES CURRENT_ROLE), sorted
SHOW SETTABLE_ROLES; -- lists the roles which can be set for the
-- current connection, sorted
DESCRIBE name; -- lists columns in the named table
--- cut for brevity ----
Now create our first database... Substitute the c:\java\derby_databases\ with the directory you have created to store your databases.
ij> CONNECT 'jdbc:derby:c:\java\derby_databases\derby_test;create=true';
If you somehow lost your connection while doing the exercise below, and you want to connect to your previously created database, you can simply remove the create=true part from above's string to re-open the existing database.
Unlike some other embeddable databases, like SQLite, Derby does not store a database in one file. Rather, it creates a subdirectory with the database name and store all related files in that directory. It is very important that the files in that directory are NEVER edited. With a single edit you can completely damage your databases.
Let's find out what schema's are created by default and which tables are added to the default "APP" schema.
ij> show schemas;
11 rows selected
ij> show tables in APP;
0 rows selected
The schemas starting with SYS* are for internal use. The "APP" schema is the one we will be using for our first table. As you can see, Derby did not create any table in this schema. Let's create an extremely simplistic database to store your DVD/Bluray collection.
ij> set schema "APP";
0 rows inserted/updated/deleted
ij> CREATE TABLE media (id INT NOT NULL GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY, name VARCHAR(32), CONSTRAINT media_pk PRIMARY KEY (id));
0 rows inserted/updated/deleted
ij> CREATE TABLE movie (
name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
media INT,
CONSTRAINT movie_pk PRIMARY KEY (id),
CONSTRAINT movie_media_fk FOREIGN KEY (media) REFERENCES media ON DELETE SET NULL ON UPDATE RESTRICT);
0 rows inserted/updated/deleted
ij> SHOW TABLES IN APP;
2 rows selected
Note that although we used names in lower case, all names have been converted to UPPERCASE. This happened because we did not put names between quotes. The SQL standard dictates that unquoted names are always converted to uppercase, but many modern database relaxes this rule a bit (or can be configured that way). In Derby this is, as far as I am aware, not configurable. If you do not want table, column, schema, constraint etc. names to be stored in uppercase, then you will always have to put each and every name between two double quotes ("media" or "Media"). Beware that using unquoted names will not work in that case anymore, so Derby is case sensitive only when quotes are used, in all other cases it will convert the name to uppercase.
Finally let's add some records to our database.
ij> INSERT INTO media (name) VALUES ('DVD');
1 row inserted/updated/deleted
ij> INSERT INTO media (name) VALUES ('Bluray');
1 row inserted/updated/deleted
ij> SELECT * FROM media;
2 |Bluray
ij> INSERT INTO movie (name, media) VALUES ('Sharknado', 2);
1 row inserted/updated/deleted
ij> INSERT INTO movie (name, media) VALUES ('Kung Fury', 1);
1 row inserted/updated/deleted
ij> INSERT INTO movie (name, media) VALUES ('Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus', 1);
1 row inserted/updated/deleted
ij> SELECT * FROM movie;
1 |Sharknado
2 |Kung Pow!
3 |Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus
3 rows selected
ij> SELECT MOVIE.id, MOVIE.name, MEDIA.name AS "media" FROM MOVIE INNER JOIN MEDIA ON MOVIE.MEDIA=MEDIA.ID ORDER BY MOVIE.NAME;
2 |Kung Pow!
3 |Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus
1 |Sharknado
3 rows selected
Now note that in the last query output, the third header column name is displayed in lowercase , because the alias name "media" was put between double quotes.
To be continued
Now that we have Derby up and running, let's continue with the fun stuff: configuring NetBeans and creating our first stored procedure in Java.
Apache Derby part 1: Introduction

Posted on Tuesday Jul 07, 2015 at 12:08AM in Relational Database
Apache Derby part 1: Introduction
This will be a series of blog posts about Apache Derby, an open-source "traditional" related database management system, fully implemented in Java.
I've been a happy Derby user for a few years now (in fact, this blog is powered by a Derby database) and I'd like to share my enthusiasm. As I don't see Derby mentioned a lot in recent blogs, articles etc., I thought maybe this article will be of some help for people who are looking for more information. I've used Derby successfully in several smaller-scale web applications.
This first part of the series is a generic introduction, the following parts will be much more technical and actually contain code .
The early years
The history of Derby is widely documented.
In 1997 a start-up called Cloudscape Inc released a commercial database management system called Cloudscape (initially it was released with the generic "JDBMS" name). Two years later Informix Software acquired Cloudscape. In 2001 IBM acquired their database assets and renamed it to IBM Cloudscape.
IBM donated the code to Apache Software Foundation in 2004 and one year later it became an open-source sub-project of the Apache's DB top-level project. IBM continued to sell IBM Cloudscape by taking a snapshot of the then-current Apache Derby version, adding installers, offering support contracts and adding additional proprietary components that provided ODBC and Microsoft MDAC compatibility, among other things. IBM retired the IBM Cloudscape product in 2007. The additional proprietary components are no longer available.
Sun/Oracle JavaDB
Sun joined the project when the code was donated to the Apache Software Foundation. They took a snapshot of the then-current Apache Derby version, added it to the Java Developers Kit (JDK) and called it the "JavaDB" component. They did not modify one single line of code, the project name is still Apache Derby, but Sun/Oracle call it JavaDB in their documentation. So every user of a recent JDK has access to a full copy of Apache Derby. JavaDB was Derby 10.6 for Sun's JDK 6, 10.8 for Oracle's JDK 7 and 10.11 for JDK 8.
While JavaDB is very convenient while testing Apache Derby, I'd normally recommend to use the latest available Derby version for production use (10.11.1.1 released on 27th of August 2014 at the time of this writing).
Why choose Apache Derby?
Apache Derby was not created to replace generic, full enterprise-ready DBMS'es like Oracle Database, IBM DB2, Postgresql, etc. Derby was, in my opinion, also not envisioned with "big data" applications in mind. One of the reasons is that Derby can store its database on one logical disk only (unless RAID is used...). Also, LOB fields are 'limited' to 2GB each.
An old 2005 presentation sheet from the IBM website about IBM Cloudscape (that was still on-line at the time of this writing) suggests that Derby should be used when the total stored data is expected to be 50GB or less. Note that this is not a documented maximum, there does not seem to be a hard-coded maximum database size (apart from the mentioned 2 GB per LOB field). I should note many of the shortcomings mentioned in the presentation sheet have been fixed by the Derby developers in the last 10 years.
If your applications can live without storing terabytes worth of data and serving hundreds of users concurrently, here are some of the highlights that I am aware of:
- Derby can run in two modes: Client/Server and Embedded mode, more on this below.
- The engine makes full use of JVM's powerful multi-threading, features. I'd call the performance very good (but remember the name of this blog, I'm a bit biased on JVM performance probably). I'd like to create some proper benchmarks, but I'll have to research how to do this carefully.
- Stored Procedures can be written in any JVM language that can compile classes that implement Interfaces. Those classes are then loaded by Derby and can be triggered using SQL or JDBC code.
- You can create Derby-style table functions by creating custom classes that implement the standard JDBC "Resultset" interface. Those classes are loaded in Derby and are available to SQL queries like normal, but read-only, Derby database tables. This is a great feature to import foreign data from external text/XML files, other databases (perhaps even NoSQL(!) databases), etc. The user can use the full SQL syntax to filter the data dynamically returned by the object. This is very powerful stuff. "Yes SQL", please!
- A more optimized version of table functions are also available, the class must additionally implement one of Derby's own interfaces. Classes that will do this will be much quicker when the WHERE-clause is used for example, but give up some flexibility as the columns and their data-types must have been declared beforehand.
- Custom data types are supported, but classes must implement the standard Serializable, or, preferably, the Externalizable interface, so this will in many cases not work on your classes without some additional work.
- In Embedded mode, Derby can load JAR files stored in the database as if they were on the user's ClassPath.
- Temporary in-memory only databases can easily be created. Those databases are removed from memory when disconnecting or shutting down the server. Those are supported both in Embedded and in Server/Client mode.
- The newest version contains (currently experimental) built-in support for the Apache Lucene high-performance search indexer project.
- SQL support is getting better and better with each release. New is the MERGE statement that INSERTS, UPDATES and DELETES records with one single statement.
- Derby comes with built-in support for the Java Management Extensions (JMX) , to remotely monitor the Derby processes in real-time.
- For testing and development purposes only, Derby comes with a simple Servlet web-application that can be used to do some common administration tasks
Embedded / Client/Server Modes
Embedded Mode
Derby comes with a JDBC driver that contains its complete database engine embedded in it. The JAR file containing this driver is only about 2.5 MB (yes, still a lot bigger than the public-domain SQLite written in C, but still very acceptable). In Embedded Mode applications store their databases on the local file-system, or in temporary in-memory only databases. Databases are available on a single JVM instance only, but can still accept multiple connections and fully supports multi-threading (but, as mentioned, those are not accessable from other JVM instances).
As mentioned in the previous section, in this mode Derby can load JAR files stored in the database as if they were on the user's classpath. This, like stored procedures written in Java, requires some extremely careful planning on the developer's side, but could probably be useful in some specific situations. Also, the driver has some additional features to load read-only databases directly from local JAR files that are available on the user's classpath.
Client/Server Mode
In Client/Server Mode, a Derby Network Server runs on a server that is available via a standard TCP/IP port. A specific Derby Network JDBC Driver is now used to connect client connections to the databases. In this mode databases are available to any user that can connect to it, from any JVM instance.
Several options of user authentication are available, including storing name/password in simple plain text Java properties file format, using a LDAP server or storing usernames and passwords directly in the Derby database. User authorization can be controlled per database by standard SQL GRANT/REVOKE commands, or users can be grouped in either READ/WRITE or READ-ONLY groups. The authorization features could be improved, from what I understand any user that has server access level can shutdown the Network Server with a single command...
A standard Java Security Manager can be used to restrict the rights of the database server.
Derby in use
- Derby only supports the JDBC standard to let clients connect to its databases. Many non-JVM programming languages, like Node.js and Python, have libraries that provide basic JDBC support.
- As mentioned, Derby's SQL support is strong. It is quite strict though. If you, like me, are familiar with default Postgresql setups, it will take some time to get used to put every schema, table and column names in your SQL queries between double quotes, because otherwise they are automatically stored in UPPERCASE format. Once you use quoted names, working with unquoted names does not work any more ("SELECT * FROM person", does not work when the table name is "Person"). This restriction is part of the official SQL standard, but most DBMS'es are more forgiving or can be configured to be completely case insensitive. As far as I know this is not possible with Derby. I believe, however, that being forced to write strict SQL queries that adhere fully to the official SQL standard is not necessarily a bad thing.
- I believe most major ORM libraries offer Apache Derby support. Oracle's JavaDB component probably helps here. For example, the popular Hibernate ORM comes with a Derby dialect.
- Derby comes with the "ij" command-line tool that can be used to create databases, write queries, etc. Since this is a default Java console application, I really miss some basic features like cursor keys support. I believe this can be added by adding some external JAR files to the classpath, but could not get this to work yet unfortunately. This makes using this application a frustrating experience to me every time I boot it up.
- Luckily Derby is supported by a lot of Java developer and JDBC SQL tools. For example, I am very happy with NetBeans IDE's Databases features on the Services tab. I find it a joy to add records, tables to, and execute queries on my Derby database this way. I'm sure the other famous IDEs offer similar features as well. I had reasonable success with SQuirreL SQL Client as well.
- The quality of the standard documentation is generally quite good, especially for an open source project. I presume this is because of the commercial roots of Derby. The organization of the information sometimes leaves something to be desired, as content is spread between different PDF/HTML files and sometimes content you'd expect to be in one manual is actually described in one of the others.
To be continued...
In the next installment of this series, i plan to write about setting up and configuring Derby.

Hey everyone! Mathmagician back again with another
walkthrough rant. This time we're going to look at Dart Traps, and how they can solve all your problems in Terraria. Scratch that. They actually solve all of your life problems.
- That one "friend" who never returned your favorite video game that you loaned him like 7 years ago? Dart Traps are waiting in the shadows. Oh yes, waiting to give him a yummy treat the next time he opens his refrigerator door. Hmmm, red, copper-flavored yogurt. Must be a new marketing ploy.
- Those random punks who endlessly regurgitate all that meme crap on youtube? They used to play Skyrim. Then they took an arrow in the knee. (And now they play Terraria.)
- Don't feel like studying? "Teacher, my Dart Trap ate my homework."
- Boss giving you an unreasonable project deadline? "Hey, what's this new cube-looking decoration thingamajig in your workspace? This isn't an appropriate use of com--GAH! My eye!"
- "Don't Like My Driving? Suck it!" Oh, you're going to suck it alright. Right in the rear tire.
- Neighbor's pet snake camping out in your backyard? Who needs shotguns when you have Dart Traps?
- Zombie Apocalypse? You may eventually run out of ammo, but your Dart Traps won't.
Not the Introduction
Dear reader,
<rant>Please explain to me why everywhere I go I see people trying to use Dart Traps for farming, house defense and stuff. I mean sure it's the cool new item from patch 1.1 or whatever, but have you forgotten about the good old fashioned lava pit? Lay down a thin layer of lava once. Done. No switches, no wire, no hassle. Oh yeah, and it's not like lava can shoot only once every 3 seconds. And I won't even mention that the On Fire! debuff from lava does more damage than the Poisoned debuff from the Dart Trap.
Dart Traps also put extra strain on your CPU/GPU while dart trajectories are calculated and graphics are rendered. Have you ever killed a hard mode monster with Dart Traps? How long did it take--like long enough for you to listen to every song in your music library? Do Dart Traps kill monsters spawned from statues as instantaneously as lava does? And really, when was the last time you spent hours exploring the world so that you could collect lava?
Oh, the inefficiency. And yet people continue to use the Dart Trap when it's quite obviously an inferior construct. Why!?!?</rant>

Aloha Ceiling Fans
Consumer Complaints and Reviews
Aloha Breeze Vintage Stand Fan Model # 46052 - Two summers ago, I purchased 3 of these Vintage standing fans. Last week while putting away laundry in my son's bedroom, I smelled something burning in his room. The fan was plugged into the outlet, but was not turned on. I touched the fan and discovered that it was burning up. The motor, which was not running was on fire. I promptly unplugged it. I tried calling the 1-800-295-4448 number on my manual. I was told that I could not reach that number from my calling area. What's up with that. I tried using my cell and the call would not go through. If anyone reading this review has a better number, please post it. Thank you.
I bought the 52" Weathered Iron, Style # 99186, at Walmart nearly 5 years ago, and installed it my screen porch. Yes, it is an indoor fan and I installed it outdoors, and it isn't a high end fan. It is out of the weather, I don't use it much, and thought it would serve my needs. It still works, but last summer was rather hot, and the combination of heat and humidity caused the blades to droop badly. I realize I got what I paid for, but wish I could find direct replacement blades that will not need to be drilled. The phone number in the owners manual (which doesn't give a brand name, but it is assumed to be an Aloha Breeze) is not a working number, 800-295-4448. I assume they are out of business. I would appreciate any help in contacting Aloha Breeze, their parent company, or anyone who can offer replacement blades. Thanks.
Updated on 7/22/2015: I replaced the warped blades with generic blades from Menards ($10). Similar size, had to drill to fit the blade arms. Fan working well, just need to balance the blades a bit.
I bought a new 52-in. fan, got it home and the screws and washers for the blades and the pull chains were missing. I called the 800 number as instructed in the manual and it is not working.
Fan has been in less than a year and the fan switch broke as did the light switch. When I opened the fan to replace them, the reverse switch fell out in about 8 pieces of broken plastic. The number 8002954448 that is listed for parts or problems in the warranty papers is a disconnected number. Since I have 3 of these that match in one area, I prefer not to have to replace them all. Does anyone have a contact number for these people?
Light would only work when it wanted to. We would hear a crackling sound when it was on. I finally took it apart (turned power off and unscrewed light socket) and found that the wires were charred and brittle. If I didn't notice this defect, it would have caught my daughter's bedroom on FIRE. The customer service # doesn't work; I'm in PA and I've read complaints from people in CA that say it doesn't work from there either. I thought 800 #'s worked anywhere!

I got 6 new ceiling fans all at once for my new house from Wal-Mart and 2 were your name brand. I got them because I heard how great they were. But that was a lie and I will tell everyone know how bad they are and to not buy any from you. I have tried to call you on the number that was on the fans, 18002954448 and it doesn't work. Both fans are no good, I'm going to have to save the money and buy new ones. The first ceiling fan's blades were messed up, it doesn't work right and the other one doesn't work; for 5 minutes it goes out and won't work for 3 hours. I don't understand. I paid $69.99 each. I wish someone would call me and either replace them with new ones or give me some other kind of fan. Call me please **, Tonya **.
Yes, I may want to talk with your attorney because you don't need to be taking other people's money for no good ceiling fans. You know we can't hold on to the receipts long cause we think they're great so we just put them up and you have to have the box and the box in good shape to return them.
Aloha remote-controlled 52" Hugger ceiling fan - Our ceiling fan quit working about 1 year after we installed it. We tried pushing all the buttons on the remote. The light still works but only with the wall switch. The remote has new batteries. We think, maybe (can't find the manual) after changing the batteries, the remote and the fan has to be reset by pushing certain buttons and/or turning on/off the wall switch. Can someone tell us what we need to do or can we receive another manual for the fan. Thank you very much for your attention to this matter.
The light switch went bad but we continued using it with the wall switch; however, two years later, the fan switch quit. There was no answer at the warranty phone number and Walmart wants nothing to do with it.
I bought an Aloha Ceiling Fan Style #91189. 3 months after using it, it stopped running while it was on. Upon taking it down to see what the problem was, I found that the control switch inside melted away. It could have caused a fire.
I tried to call the 800 number and I am told it is not in my calling area.
I called Aloha Breeze six weeks ago for a part, condenser for my fan, and haven't received it yet. Their policy is a two-week turnaround. Each time I call now (every five minutes ), I get a recording. Please help.
We bought 2 Aloha Breeze vintage stand fan model # 46051(46052) serial # 00560 and haven't had them a year and one of them just stopped working and the other is making a bad noise and trying to stop too. I was trying to contact the company and all I could find were complaints about the fan. I think a fan should last longer than that. They cost 38 dollars apiece. I know that's not much money to some but when you have someone laid off in your house and the other don't make that much, then that's a lot of money.
Update: Aloha Ceiling fan company sent me a check for $50 for all my trouble. All is well.
Update to my earlier complaint which I can no longer find: All is well. Aloha fans took way too long but they did eventually get a move on and they sent me $50 for the trouble their fan caused me. They have the fan, I have the groceries I bought with the $50 they sent. All is well. Thank you, Consumer Affairs, for all your help.
The fan blade broke off. This is the second time I have contacted you! I never got a response from you the first time, I no longer remember who I talked to at the fan company, nor do I remember the name or location of the parent company. I tried to find the info again and I can't they are not easily reached. They have no business doing business!
One of the ceiling fans blades snapped off while the fan was on. The ceiling fan is in a small office. When I am in the office, my head is almost directly below the fan. Had I not stepped out for a moment, the blade would have likely killed me. It hit my printer and my computer. The printer I am now having trouble with. I looked and there is another blade that is badly cracked. Needless to say, the fan is not being used. However, we do not have the know how to take it down and we can't afford to have the guy who put it up come back out and take it down. The fan is manufactured my W H I Manf. Inc. out of California (though the fan is made in China!) for Aloha (fan company?) out of Clinton, NC. There is supposed to be a five-year warranty which we can't find as we are packing to move. The office having only a window and no ceiling fan is going to lower the price of our home, by the way. What if this had happened in a nursery where a baby was sleeping? This thing is dangerous. The model number is # 99646.

IT Journey, LLC is an IT service provider.
I haven't use 8x8, but I did look at them. If I remember correctly, they are a hosted phone solution.
Take a look at Fonality and Microsoft Reponse Point if you want to keep things on-site.
For your existing setup...you say that voice quality is bad. What exactly are you experiencing? If you are getting garbled sound/voice or it sounds like you are talking in a tin can you might want to check to see if you have QoS enabled on your network LAN and Gateway (router). QoS is important for VoIP deployment. You could have the highest quality VoIP phone system out there and it could sound like crap if QoS isn't running on your network.

I wonder if your outgoing bandwidth can support 16 lines. Who is your current provider? Some providers do not provide high compression codecs resulting in poor performance with even a few lines.

Sps W/ 'odd' Shaped Cakes
Decorating By SweetOccasionCakes Updated 22 Jan 2009 , 11:29pm by kakeladi
I am doing an oval 25th anniversary cake, stacked. Can I use sps with this? If so, how?
Put each cake on a cake board and place that on the closest size plate just as you would if it was a round cake. It won't matter if there is some hangover.
You can do this with any shape cake; ie: hearts; petals; even squares.
Of course, you would not want to put a 12x16 on an 8" plate. The more hang over the more possibility of a problem but when you match it as close as possible there should not be any problems.

In keeping with this thinking, the intent of this blog is threefold:
- To share information about what it takes to direct a race;
- To ask for information and opinions from runners as to what they want to see in a race; and
- To collectively decide what, overall, is best for our sport.
In most cases, there is no right or wrong answer or decision. Most of the time it is just a case of personal preferences. From time to time I will invite other experienced Race Directors to host this column and offer their feedback and insights. Thus, you won't be getting information just from me, but from a variety of the best and most experienced event directors in the country.
Some of the various topics we'll address here include:
• Races closing out in record pace
• Transferring of race bib numbers
• Monday morning blues -- the morning after
• Knowing the course -- whose responsibility is it?
• Awards -- is "double dipping" fair?
• Headphones -- safe or unsafe in races?
• Entry fee refunds
• Scoring by net time vs. gun time
• Should a race be cancelled due to extreme heat or other extreme weather conditions?
• Awards -- what do you like best (medals, trophies, plaques, gift certificates, merchandise, other)?
• Cut off times -- time limits on races
• Mobility-impaired divisions
• Postrace refreshments -- what is best?
• Entertainment along the course
• Will anything ever replace the T-shirt as a giveaway?
This is just a sampling of subjects. Feel free to e-mail me at email@example.com if you have other subjects you'd like to see us write about.
I'm looking forward to it!

Joseph Pulitzer and the Story Behind the Pulitzer Prize (Great Achiever Awards) (Great Achievement Awards)
In May 1904, Joseph Pulitzer wrote an article in The North American Review urging Columbia University to found a school of journalism. He endowed the university with $2 million, $500,000 of which was to be used to establish awards for excellence in writing. At first, Columbia was hesitant about accepting Pulitzer's endowment. But one year after his death in 1911, the Columbia School of Journalism was founded and the first Pulitzer Prizes were awarded in ultimate recognition in American journalism. This is the story of a Hungarian Jewish immigrant who got his start in America at a small newspaper in St. Louis, and his great legacy, the Pulitzer Prize.

I am a past client of this provider
When faced with having to admitted my mother to an assisted living facility after my father passed, I was at a loss as to how to navigate the waters, especially living in California and being three thousand miles away. Then my mother and I found Jane Korb through our attorney. Jane not only became my eyes and ears in regards to my mom's care but a dear friend and someone my mother came to depend on. Jane was invaluable in communicating to me what my mom needed and also communicating what those needs were to the assisted living facility. Jane goes the extra mile for her clients. It's not just a job to to her and what she provides to families is priceless. I will never be able to repay Jane for all of the love and care she provided my mom

My mother and I have used Janes services more than once and are completely satisfied! Jane has a unique combination of knowledge, experience and compassion. I highly recommend her.
Vicki Fox May 09, 2015
I am a current client of this provider
I live in PA, my sister lives in New York, and my Mom is in an assisted living facility in Rhode Island. I have been better able to sleep nights knowing that there is a pair of eyes, ears and someone with a big heart who can check in on my Mom weekly so we know her needs are being met. She recently fell and had to be hospitalized. Jane visited her in the hospital soon after I called to tell her, and she was there at the assisted living facility to get my Mom settled in when she returned to her apartment. That took place on a Sunday evening, and Jane made herself available. I highly recommend her services.

The 2016 Chevrolet Malibu follows an approach with powertrains that would have been unheard of just a few years ago. There's no V-6 in the lineup—not even a larger 4-cylinder engine of 2.5 liters or so, which used to be the base engine. Provided you're not referring to the hybrid, all the engines in the lineup are turbocharged and direct-injected.
Most of the Malibu lineup will be powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-4. It subs right in for that big-displacement four and will be easily mistaken for one from the driver's seat, as it makes 160 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. It's mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission that's GM-produced, and the combination is hard to catch flat-footed; unlike other efforts from automakers. Only in long grades and in some highway passing will it feel like a base engine—and even then, reaching high into its rev band, it's quiet and composed.
Chevy intentionally kept upshifts for the transmission—with the 1.5-liter—to just 5,200 rpm, as letting the engine rev higher into each shift produced more noise rather than a shorter acceleration time.
Top 2LT and Premier models step up to a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 that makes 250 hp and 258 lb-ft. It's hooked up to an 8-speed automatic transmission (essentially the same unit that's used in the Volvo XC90), and shifts with somewhat precise, defined gear changes than the 6-speed. This engine churns out plentiful torque at low revs, without the need for downshifts, so it really does take the place of a V-6 in the lineup. And the accelerator and transmission has a nice composed, above-it-all feel that takes on Ford's EcoBoost 2.0-liter in the Fusion for perkiness and drivability and actually emerges the winner because of its superior smoothness and refinement.
Both of these transmissions lack steering-wheel mounted paddle shifters. For manual gear control, you need to pull the shift lever back to the "L" position and then use a button atop the lever to go up or down.
There are no multiple modes here; GM nailed the calibration for the accelerator behavior (nice and linear), transmission shifts (sharper when you order that up with your right foot), and steering boost.
On that note, steering is one of the high points of the Malibu driving experience. The Malibu's electric power steering—with rack-mounted boost provided in all version—feels more natural, well-weighted, and precise than that in any other affordable mid-size sedan.
The Malibu has lost more than 300 pounds compared to last year's model, and at a base weight of just under 3,100 pounds (up to about 3,400 pounds for a fully loaded 2.0T) it's now one of the lightest sedans in its segment. Factor in the Malibu's firm and composed yet comfortable suspension tune—essentially the same through all engines and trim levels, but with slight changes for tires and wheels—and the Malibu feels downright nimble, and way more tossable than most of its rivals. It favors comfort over any serious edge, but it almost drives with the verve of a compact car.
Furthermore, there's actually very little difference in weight between the two engines (it's most due to the higher feature set you get in 2.0-liter versions), so you don't get the heavier (and nose-heavier) feel that you might have in previous versions in upgrading to the V-6.
There's one more model in the lineup, however, and it's shaping up to be the most intriguing of all in some respects. A new Malibu Hybrid pairs a 1.8-liter inline-4 with a 1.5-kwh battery pack and twin electric motors that effectively operate as a dual-mode transmission. Unlike the prior Malibu with eAssist, the new Hybrid can run short distances on battery power alone—up to 50 or 55 mph. Though it shares much of its technology with the Volt, the Malibu Hybrid skips an "EV" button and aims to be a "normal" car, aiming less for the electric-centric driving character of the Volt and simply going for fuel-efficiency (it aims to earn an EPA-rated 48 mpg combined).
That said, the Malibu Hybrid is quick enough for most tastes; it takes just 7.8 seconds for 0-60 mph and total output is 182 hp. The Hybrid still weighs less than 3,500 pounds and with steering that feels just as vivid, feels like no compromise. You will, however, hear the gasoline engine in the Hybrid a bit more than in those non-hybrid models.

If you are a proud owner of a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 device and looking to improve its performance by tweaking your tablet; you should first learn how to install the TWRP recovery on your tablet. In this post, we will show you how you can easily install TWRP recovery on your Galaxy Tab A 8.0 T350, T355, P350 and P355 model numbers.
Let's first know about TWRP recovery, it is a custom recovery image that replaces successfully the stock recovery of your Galaxy Tab A 8.0. With TWRP recovery installed you can extend your access, customize and optimize your device. The stock recovery of the Android core system is coming with factory and default limitations that offer a limited access.
Therefore, if you are an advance user and you are not satisfied with the stock recovery image you should replace it with TWRP recovery, in order to be able to apply custom operations on your Galaxy Tab A 8.0 tablet, otherwise, the stock recovery is good for you.
With TWRP custom recovery installed, you can apply other operations such as getting rid of start-up programs and bloatware, overclocking and undervaluing CPU frequencies, making Nandroid backups to save the current stock Android firmware, adding custom kernels, MODs, and custom ROMs, gaining root access, unlock the bootloader and more.
TWRP recovery has a touch based UI and is an easy to be used and intuitive software. The app comes with several settings that can be used for completing more personalization and optimization procedures. Before starting the installation of TWRP recovery on your Galaxy Tab A 8.0 tablet, make sure you read the entire guide and you know all the risks implied.
Because TWRP recovery is a software developed by third party devs and installing it on your device is not an official procedure, supported by Samsung or Google, it means that Samsung KNOW will be tripped. You will also lose your Galaxy Tab A 8.0 warranty, so in case your tablet needs technical assistance, you will need to pay for it. Flashing TWRP recovery process can be completed by using Odin, an official tool developed and offered by Samsung and generally used on update procedures.
Before starting the flashing process of TWRP recovery, you should backup your Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 to secure all your important data and avoid unpleasant situations. You can use already tested backup and restore solution to save your contacts, saved passwords, images, audio and videos files, internet settings, apps, calendar info, the EFS folder and the IMEI / NVRAM data.
Make sure that your Galaxy Tab A 8.0 is charged to avoid the interruption during the flashing process and facing issues because of power loss. Odin can be flashed only on a Windows-based computer so make sure that you have your computer nearby. On the computer you must also install the Galaxy Tab A 8.0 drivers, this process can be ensured using the Samsung KIES utility.
On your tablet tap go to Settings and from About Device tap seven times on the Built Number option until you get the "you are a developer" message. Then, from Settings and Developer Options check the USB Debugging field.
Please keep in mind that this step by step guide is compatible only with the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 T350, T355, P350 and P355 model numbers. Do not try to apply it to other devices.
How to Flash TWRP Recovery on Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0
1. Download Odin from here on your computer and unzip the package. Then install the program by following the on-screen instructions.
2. Download on the computer the TWRP recovery file (by choosing from the following links depending on your tablet model) and save the package on the desktop: for T350 from here, for T355 from here, for P350 here and for P355 here.
3. Switch off your tablet and when the shutdown process is completed, reboot download mode on your Galaxy Tab A 8.0 tablet. To get into download mode, press and hold the Power+ Volume Down + Home buttons at the same time.
4. Run Odin on your computer and then connect your tablet to the computer using the USB cable.
5. When Odin recognize your tablet, the "added" message will be displayed and the ID: COM field will be turned in yellow or blue color, if not, reinstall the Galaxy Tab A 8.0 drivers.
6. In Odin select the AP option and choose the TWRP recovery file. Don't check the Auto Reboot and Re-Partition options.
7. Click Start and TWRP recovery will be automatically installed on your Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 device.
If Odin might is getting stuck during the flashing process, close the program and remove the USB cable. Force restart your tablet, reinstall the drivers on the computer and repeat the guide from step 1.
A boot loop might be also issued on your tablet. You need to go to recovery mode to make a hard reset and clear app data cache by selecting 'wipe data factory reset', 'wipe cache partition' and 'wipe Dalvik cache'.

Dear Jotform
I am truly impressed with your Jotform , I really like it and I am letting other people know about you as well.
I am setting up one small Charity/Business for poor kids , The concept is people can donate their goods to us then we sell it in the market and give 80 Percent of that amount to charity while 20 for our business expenses. Its still in process and webpage has still not completed.
For that I would need to request 50 % Discount on 19$/Month plan - As we are very tight on resources we cannot afford 19$ per month at the moment.
Could you please make it 9.5 $ Per month so that I can proceed with the payment ?

Candied Sweet Potatoes
Recipe by MizzNezz
These are so good, we don't wait for a holiday to serve them!
Top Review by miss gracie
My 13 year old daughter selected and made this recipe for our Thanksgiving dinner. Sweet potatoes are not a part of our tradition, so this was a new experience for us. Emily and I thought they were great, my 16 year old son rated them very good, and my husband (not a sweet potato fan at all) at least gave them a try. I loved the addition of the vanilla and nutmeg in this recipe, and the potatoes smelled heavenly while baking. Emily topped them with a few mini marshmallows since that is what she had heard sweet potatoes should alway have. The marshmallows pretty much melted and disappeared into the potatoes. I especially loved the potatoes when they mixed together with cranberry sauce on my dinner plate. Yumm, nice combination of sweet and tart!

The Westports KL Dragons may have been trounced by Smart Gilas-Philippines, 95-64, but gained a lot despite the loss in their first game in the 2011 FIBA Asia Champions Cup at the Philsports Arena in Pasig City.
The Dragons had a good first half keeping them in the game within shouting distance to the surprise of the Smart Gilas Philippines national team before sputtering in the second half.
Dragons coach Ariel Vanguardia said that it was a learning experience to the players.
"I'm happy with the way we played," said Vanguardia. "This is our first real game since our tune-up game against a local professional team here. We have only been together for three weeks but we really played well."
"This is a good opportunity for us since we are playing with the best club teams in Asia. This is a part of the growing pains because we are a young team," said Vanguardia.
Vanguardia said that the Westports KL Dragons and the Malaysian national team are emulating the style of most of the national teams in Asia including Smart Gilas where they start the players young and develop them for the next years.
"We are following the formula of most national teams. Keep them intact for the next few years and see them grow," said Vanguardia.
American import Chris Ayer had a game-high 31 points while Marcus Morrison added 15 points. The locals also did a good job with Yoong Jing Kwaan scoring seven points and Guganeswaran Batumalai adding five markers.
The Filipino fans expected a blowout especially when the Dragons were down, 10-0. But the Malaysians had other plans as they kept themselves in the game. A two-point basket by Shee Fai Loh started a Malaysian run to trail by only five points, 15-20.
The Dragons continued to stay in the game with Yoong Jing Kwaan making his presence felt inside along with Ayer, who had 13 rebounds to lead the team. Yoong made it a 38-39 score with a rebound putback before Morrison making two free throws to end the first half ahead, 40-39.
Ayer continued to score with a jumper for a 42-39 lead to start the third quarter but that was the time Smart Gilas pulled away outscoring the Dragons, 26-9, in that period.
It was garbage time for Smart Gilas in the fourth but the Dragons remained their hustle plays down the stretch knowing that every minute is important to their campaign.
"It's a young team, we have a lot of new guys but with the way we played, I'm happy with it," said Ayer.
"I hope this game will boost our confidence as we try to seek a slot in the quarterfinals," said Vanguardia.
The Dragons will next face Duhok-Iraq on Monday 4 p.m. Manila time.

Accountants are working longer hours than ever before, according to new findings from the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA).
The average working week for CIMA members globally is 45 hours, although finance professionals in the US topped the polls at 50 hours a week, while those in South East Asia put in 48 – 50 hours on average. The primary reasons reported for the increase were understaffing/lack of resource (up 12% to 61% from 2009), and more responsibility/more pressure (down 3% to 63% from 2009).
"The survey findings show that economies around the world are beginning to recover, but organisations need to be mindful of the pressure on existing staff as workloads increase," said Ray Perry, executive director of brand, profile and marketing at C...

I found a fun treat lying on Anthony's bed, a handful of penis shaped lollipop. I couldn't resist the temptation of jumping into bed and unwrapping one of those bad boys. I got a little too excited and Anthony caught me sucking hard on a penis pop. I bet he started to imagine my lips wrapped around his own cock because he immediately dropped his pants.

Vacation Bible School 2011
Sorry for the poor quality of these photos, they were taken with my Android phone. I decided to pick Nathan up from VBS on my lunch break one day this week, and they are doing a JUNGLE theme this year. Here is a photo of Nathan by the decorations, he wanted to have his picture taken next to the frog (which you can't really see).
I cannot believe next year Autumn will be going to VBS with Nathan! The day that I picked Nathan up from VBS he had a little tiny flashlight that said 'Jesus is the Light'.

I saw the decorated cakes from Elegant cheese cakes and I was wondering how they cover cheese cakes with fondant? I think it is probably very difficult to cover a cheese cake with fondant since cream cheese cakes are not very steardy....so how they do it? Do you think that the cakes are maybe not really cream cheese cakes? anyone know what kind of cheese cake recipe they use?
Baked Cheesecake is very sturdy. After watching a Bobby Flay throw down with Junior's cheesecakes, I made a cheesecake cake, and it was soooooooo rich but out of this world. You sandwich your baked cheesecake between 2 layers of cake.
I highly recommend Alton Brown's cheesecake recipe, here is the you tube link

Klopp explains his team selection against Crystal Palace
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has revealed the reason that Mohamed Salah was...
Scottish Premier League outfits Dundee United have managed the capture of former Sunderland and Egypt-eligible defender Jassem Sukar.
The former Sunderland player was handed his first contract with the club by former manager Martin O'Neill but was unfortunately released by the Black Cats this summer.
Following a couple of seasons blighted by injuries, the player went on trial at Scottish side Dundee United last month, and having impressed the coaching staff, the 19-year-old signed his contract with the Tangerines on the 14th of September, his father told KingFut.com.
Jassem, who is a left-footed centre-back previously represented English youth clubs Middlesbrough and Sunderland, is born to an Egyptian father and an English mother. The young defender previously expressed his desire to one day represent the Egyptian national team.

Asmussen seeks big '07 finish
EmailAs the curtain falls Monday on the year 2007, trainer Steve Asmussen has a lot to look back on and smile about. In addition to training likely Horse of the Year Curlin, Asmussen, through Friday, continued to hold a slight edge over Scott Lake as winningest trainer in North America this year. Before any celebrations begin, however, there is still business for the Asmussen stable to attend to, specifically saddling major contenders in two $50,000 divisions of the Louisiana Futurity, the features on the New Year's Eve program at Fair Grounds. The colt and gelding division at six furlongs, which goes as race 4, finds Asmussen in a favorable position with Cubera, who finished a clear second to Star Guitar in the Champions Day Juvenile at Fair Grounds earlier this month after making a brief lead in the stretch. Cubera's stalking style should come in handy as his Futurity division drew plenty of speed. The quickest of them might be Postage Necessary, a 24-1 winner of his debut in a $50,000 maiden claimer at Hollywood Park on Dec. 2. Must Acquit, Pantara Phantom, and Lee's Spirit, who helped provide Star Guitar and Cubera with favorable setups in the Champions Day Juvenile, should again be prominent factors early. Another who may benefit from a fast early pace is Cush, a recent maiden winner who was second to Star Guitar in his debut. Cush showed a more relaxed style second out, rating in fifth early before drawing off to win by 1 1/4 lengths. The filly division of the Louisiana Futurity goes as race 7 and also will be run at six furlongs. Asmussen again has the probable favorite in Hisse, the field's only stakes winner, but the daughter of Buddha drew post 12 in the field of 13 and might end up conceding more ground than usual early. Hisse captured the Laurel Lane Stakes at Louisiana Downs in July and made her first start since that race in the Champions Day Lassie on Dec. 8. She rallied to finish second behind runaway winner Superior Storm, though ahead of favorite Claudia Bertha. If she had been only a race away from peak fitness, Hisse can close out her juvenile campaign with a win. Runaway From Itall, a maiden second-time starter, also figures to avoid an expected early duel for the lead. She earned a competitive 63 Beyer Speed Figure when four lengths second to Imahonkytonkgirl, one of the likely pacesetters in the Futurity.

Lead TrackingAsked by kesslinger on April 25, 2016 at 05:30 PM
Greetings. I have a question about lead tracking.
At the end of my URLs I add ?leadsource=XXXXX
Can that be anything? For instance, could it be ?campaignname=XXXXX and then it populates a field called campaignname (presuming I have set one up)
JotForm Support
Hello kesslinger,
Yes, you can use it to prepopulate your fields of your form using URL parameters. What you just need to do is identify the name of the field and use that name on the URL like as how you have mentioned. This user guide will give more explanation to this matter.
If you have questions, please do let us know.
Hi if you use myconversionbrain.com then it will automatically track who is the source traffic behind those leads without any tagging. I used to use those tagging before but now its not necessary...

I would like to switch from a single stand-alone WP-Blog towards a XF-forum, but not loose the Blog-posts and associated Blog-comments.
Appreciate your help!
