Why So Important?
During the past 15 years, companies such as Yelp and TripAdvisor have changed the way consumers choose businesses and vendors. In fact, Brightlocal.com, a company that monitors online consumer activity, conducted a survey in 2015 that revealed nine out of 10 people will search a review site before engaging a particular business. Nearly 90% said they trust the online reviews and ratings, and use it to guide their decisions. A company with only a few stars and many negative reviews can easily rule you out as a potential vendor.
How Many People Use Review Sites?
The largest site in the world allowing members to review a business is Facebook. With 1.6 billion users, if someone gives you a negative review, that's how many people could potentially see it. That's more than the population of China, the most peopled country in the world. Although it is unlikely that all Facebook users would actually see a review of your business, potential customers snooping reviews about your company are sure to see it. Every month, Yelp dishes up 168 million reviews to searches on everything from limousine companies to restaurants, auto repair facilities to veterinarians. About 230 million people have downloaded the TripAdvisor app on their mobile devices and 190 reviews are added every minute of every day, according to TripAdvisor. The bottom line is too many people visit these sites for you to ignore them.
What Is "Managing Reviews"?
The first part of managing reviews is to "claim" your page with the site. All review sites have a link similar to "Is this your business?" that allows you to claim ownership of the business being reviewed. This enables you to respond to reviews by either thanking the client for a positive review or addressing a negative review with your side of the story. While you may not want to air out your dirty laundry for the world to see, you are better off posting a simple statement such as, "Thank you for bringing this situation to our attention. We will focus on improving in the future to avoid repeating a mistake such as this. Please contact our office so that we can make this right with you." This lets people know your clients are important to you and you know how to engage them. To accomplish this, you must have someone who checks the pages for negative reviews and has the authority to address any issues immediately. Once you claim your page, you will be notified when people review you.
Marketing Usage
Once you have claimed the page, you not only can respond to complaints and praises, but you also will have the opportunity to make special offers targeted at new clients. Remember, they looked you up on Yelp because they consider engaging your service. These sites allow you to post photos of your fleet, offer coupons for first time users or repeat clients, and tell potential clients about your business. Since they are already checking you out, you should make it easy to do business. Add a link to your own website or directly to your reservations page if you offer that technology. If you do, make sure you say so in the description of your business on your page. If your business doesn't appear on TripAdvisor.com or Yelp, add it yourself and ask some of your clients to post reviews for you. You should encourage clients to give positive reviews as most people only do a review when they are angry. Make sure your page is maintained with positive reviews that make negative reviews seem like they come from negative people.
Using Data For Improvement
No one likes to read a bad review of their business. Whether it is a Broadway actor or the chef at the hottest restaurant in town, it stings to read about your trips and falls for the world to see. However, put your feelings aside and read what people are saying repeatedly about your business and make corrections. Obviously, if four people post reviews about dirty vehicles, you have a problem in that area. If six people post reviews of how wonderful a particular chauffeur was in his service delivery, take the time to praise the employee and make him aware of the reviews.

I wanted to design a Christmas tablescape that was both festive and no fuss, and what I came up with is a silver and red color theme with just enough sparkles. Most of the decorations were brought from Michaels, at discounted prices too. So it is not too late to have that special Christmas dinner or get-together.
I decided to do something special with the dinner napkins. What's more Christmas then some napkins folded into elves shoes. Sitting on a silver charger plate, they will will be the talk of the evening.
I use a martini glass for the centerpiece, filled it with red ornaments and some painted decorations found in the Christmas aisle at Michaels. Actually all the decorations were found at Michaels.
Naughty guest sat at this table (hahaha). I found them at Michaels and the cool thing is on the other side is the word nice. So you get to decide who's been nice and who's been naughty.
The centerpiece is sitting on a round glass mirror with small decorative red ornament balls, Nutcracker guard figurine, and two tall tea-light candle holders.
The drink glass, which I kept at minimal water and wine, also part of my inventory. But check out Homegoods, they always have great glassware.
I got this card from Homegoods and the gift box from Michaels and just added a small red bow. The sequin table cover (which I just cannot stop obsessing over) is part of my inventory. Sequin is always a great idea for a party, especially around the holidays. There is gold sequin if that is your preference, but again, my color theme was red and silver. I also added the card at each plate setting with a special message for each guest. A great extra way to make your guests feel special and appreciated.
And there you have it, not a lot of work but great visual results. The only real work was folding the napkin into the elf shoe and here is a youtube link that shows you the howto:

Rating Details:
The vacation rental was spotless.
I was very happy with the location.
I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental.
Overall, I recommend this vacation rental.
Reviewer Comments:
This property is even better than described: spacious, clean, beautifully decorated, convenient and secure. The hosts responded to all questions immediately and in a very friendly manner. It is obvious that they care about their guests' comfort. This is the second time we have stayed in this condo and we hope to return.
As wonderful as the place and ocean view were, more so was the service provided by the managing team of David and Steve. We were so satisfied with their service that next winter we are renting for FOUR months one of their other beautiful condos, this one with a great intra-coastal view, in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
Our month's stay was over here before we knew it. We wished we had stayed longer but we had to start our journey back home.
My wife and I stayed in this beautiful condo for the month of February 2015 and we were extremely happy with the decor, cleanliness and location of this property. David, the owner, was very helpful with our check-in and was prompt in responding to our questions during our stay. We look forward to spending next February in the same condo.
We have just returned from a one month stay in David's condo which is even more beautiful and larger than the pictures suggest. The condo, building and grounds are very well maintained. The location is perfect,just a short walk to the beach and many restaurants. Race tracks, casinos and great shopping are not far away. I recommend seeing Hot Rod, a Rod Stewart impersonator at Field.
David met us when we arrived and responded quickly to phone calls and emails quickly and pleasantly during our stay.
We are looking forward to returning next year.
As stated in previous reviews, the condo was better than the pictures. The condo and building were spotless. We had a very confortable stay and enjoyed the ocean view and being a corner unit, provided lots of light with the large windows in living room and bedroom. The bathroom was very recently remodelled and the shower was great.
The kitchen was well stocked with spices and supplies needed to prepare meals. The beach towels, beach umbrella and chairs were appreciated and used almost everyday. The pool was a great spot to watch the boating activity on the inland waterway.
David provide excellent service with the booking and meeting us at check-in.
We would definitely recommend this condo and renting from David.
The location is perfect. One small block from Ft. Lauderdale beach. The pool on the intercoastal side is amazing, beautiful view and nice and warm. The condo itself is very comfortable, we enjoyed the view from the balcony. Basically its perfect!
Este condomínio está no centro de tudo !!!
Praia um quarteirão de distância. caminhar para vários restaurantes / bares!

Leicester City journey to becoming the English Premier League champions last season was the perfect underdog story. From almost getting relegated the previous season, to becoming the champions of England, the Fantastic Foxes from Leicester are a team that will be remembered for all time.
And now that story has become a whole lot sweeter for the players as each of them now have a 'Protonic Blue' BMW i8 to call their own. The 'Protonic Blue' paint job also matches the the Leicester City home kit's colour scheme.
The hybrid i8 sports cars are a gift from a very grateful owner of the club, Thai businessman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, who had promised them all an electric car each. However, instead of gifting them with the Mercedes B-Class he had promised, Srivaddhanaprabha raised the bar, by gifting the madcap BMW hybrid sports cars instead.
The 19 cars which each cost £105,000 (Rs. 91.06 lakhs) were gifted to all the first team player who took part in the title-winning season that took everyone by surprise.
The BMW i8 powered by an electric motor which works in tandem with a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine to produce 358bhp and 570Nm of torque. The hybrid sports car will sprint from 0–100km/h in 4.4 seconds and will hit a top speed of 250km/h while returning a claimed mileage of 47.6km/l.

Archiving blog into static read-only site
One of the blogs that I manage has become severely bloated given that it has 1000+ posts and several thousand comments.
What I am looking to do is, replace it with a fresh installation of WordPress for my readers. However, I would like to have the current version of the site still accessible.
Hence I would like to:
Convert the existing site into a read-only site where readers can go back and view the old archives
Convert the entire site if possible into a static website where very little work is actually done by the server in terms of running queries and generating content on the fly
The theme I am using uses tim thumb so it dynamically generates thumbnails for the posts. How can I ensure that images are visible on the site and yet at the same time tim thumb no longer generates image thumbnails on the fly?
Would greatly appreciate any help to achieve the result I'm looking for. Any leads would be helpful

Moran receives 2016 Spirit of Hospice Award
The 2016 Heritage Hospice's Margaret Caldwell Spirit of Hospice Award winner embodies many of the qualities that the end of life service strives to offer. Caring. Check. Compassionate. Check. Makes House Calls. Check. This year's honor is awarded to Dr. Daniel J. Moran, who is retiring after practicing 37 years. He spent 10 years in the 1980s and 1990s as Heritage Hospice's medical director. As testament to his popularity among patients, a line of people waiting to say goodbye snaked out in the parking lot at his recent retirement open house at Kentucky One Primary Care in Danville. His guests waited patiently as he exchanged pleasantries and hugs with many people whose lives he touched during his career. Moran's ability to care deeply about each one of his patients is his signature, says Dr. David Overstreet, who has practiced 24 years with Moran. "He knew not just their medical situations, but he knew their social circumstances. He went to their funerals, their weddings and he participated in their lives," says Overstreet, noting that Moran was his own mother's doctor. Dr. Overstreet says his colleague went the extra mile for his patients. "He still made house calls to people who were too feeble and frail to come see him. He devoted an enormous amount of time to his patients because they needed him. That's a rare thing in medicine today." These patient-doctor friendships were forged based on one important rule of thumb Moran has followed. "One of my professors in medical school said if you listen to a patient long enough they will tell you what is wrong," Moran confided in an interview at his family's Boyle farm a few days after the retirement party. He is seated on a comfortable couch, relaxing after a rigorous round of physical therapy. His spinal pain stems from farm work and being a doctor. "I've lifted too many patients, too many bales of hay. I've got a bad back," he says. Moran recalled his start with Heritage Hospice in the 1980s. The nonprofit holds a special place in Moran's heart because mother-in-law, Pat Bright, was instrumental in getting the organization up and running in 1979. She was good friends with the woman for whom the Spirit of Hospice Award is named. Anne Byrom, one of the first nurses to work at Heritage Hospice, approached Moran about becoming medical director. They were both at Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center in Danville, where Moran already was up to his elbows with his workload. He tried to turn down Byrom's request but she wouldn't take no for an answer. "I said, 'I'm too busy.' I was working 60 to 70 hours. She said, 'It's busy people who get things done.'" One of the takeaways of being a hospice medical director is that Moran does not hesitate to have conversations with patients about end-of-life care provided by hospice. "If patients are getting to the end of life and if we can offer them the best quality of life for that last chapter of their life, it's a wonderful gift to be able to offer." He believes in recommending hospice care. "Many of my patients is terminal: COPD, end-stage cancer, end-stage heart disease. If we are going to take care of these people cradle to grave, someone's got to be there and that's where hospice comes in." Moran makes another important observation about hospice services. "When the family gets overtaxed, I think hospice is more important in helping the caregiver." Janelle Wheeler, Heritage Hospice's executive director, presented Dr. Moran with the Margaret Caldwell Spirit of Hospice Award on Wednesday, June 22, his last day of work. "He has been an integral part of our organization over the years and is valued for his contribution in the hospice industry. We will miss his gentle nature and kind voice but wish him nothing but the best as he transitions to this new chapter in his life." Andy Baker, Heritage Hospice executive director when Moran was medical director, says Moran gave his all to the nonprofit's work. "Dr. Moran gave us incredible support and encouragement with his phone calls, personal visits and time that he spent at our team meetings. His genuine interest in people and his compassion for the things patients and families were dealing with at the time that hospice served them was very apparent to see. He has been a true friend to hospice." Noreta Royalty, a nurse at Heritage Hospice for 14 years, says Moran's personality traits perfectly suited those needed at hospice. "I was privileged to be working at Heritage Hospice when Dr. Dan Moran was medical director in the late '80s and '90s. I was very impressed that he wholeheartedly embraced the hospice philosophy for patient care. As a leader of our team, he was very knowledgeable, kind, compassionate, considerate and concerned for patients, families and hospice staff. He was very professional and always a perfect gentleman with a contagious smile." Moran's wife of 40 years, pediatrician Katie Bright, appreciates her husband's ability to connect with people. "He is very curious, very outgoing. He has a real gift for making connections with people. He seems able to connect in some way with almost anyone, communicating that a little part of that person's problem has also affected his life in some way (perhaps thorough things that happened with his mother, his siblings, a friend, his wife, our kids, etc.). He also has a lot of gentle mischief in him, which allows him to tease people in a way that deepens the connection. Patients can see that he cares about them as individuals, which leads to the respect, that goes both ways, between him and his patients."

This particular mask (carved and painted balsa wood) features a natural colour explosion – an interpretation of the flora and fauna of the southern Pacific Coast watershed of Costa Rica around a solemn ancestral 'spirit-visage'. A commonly explored cosmological theme among Brunka artistic expression are the 'totem' animals, or naguals, about the visage of an ancestor (shaman/leader).
This Brunka mask carver, of Boruca village, achieves a complex composition with a captivating forest back-lighting – the focus ultimately being the complex orchids and the human aboriginal face in the centre of the piece as if the life all round it were a headdress.

My fiance presented me with this ring and it is everything I have ever wanted in an engagement ring and more! We have been looking at black diamonds for quite some time and we were thoroughly excited when we found this on overstock.com...You find the same rings in Zales for double, sometimes triple the price...and while I know that he loves me enough to spend that on me, in today's economy, it isn't feasible when you can find the equivalent for an incredible price! I am so excited to be sporting this on my ring finger!
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? exact match
- How accurate was the sizing? exact
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Wonderful!

The Manhattan real estate market, in a reversal of former patterns, is finding strength in more modest apartments and weakness at its most expensive end, according to a market survey of condominium and co-op apartments.
The survey, the Insignia Douglas Elliman Manhattan Market Report, reported that overall apartment prices were stable or fell only slightly last year, despite a recession, fears of terrorism and a volatile stock market. The average price remained more than double that of a decade ago.
The number of sales recorded by the survey last year were up sharply from 2001 and the second highest on record. That was partly because of the aftershocks of the World Trade Center attack, which stalled sales in the last quarter of 2001 and led to a surge in sales in the first half of last year. A period of softening sales and prices followed.
But the most significant growth, according to the survey, occurred in the market for studios and one-bed-rooms. Sales of one-bedroom apartments increased 32 percent, to 3,305 from 2,497, the second-highest yearly sales total on record. Sales of studio apartments increased 11 percent, to 1,275 from 1,149.
In contrast, the sales of apartments with at least four bedrooms fell 13 percent last year, to 118 from 135, and were 35 percent below the 181 sales recorded in 2000.Continue reading the main story
Jonathan Miller, president of the Miller Samuel appraisal company, who prepared the report for Douglas Elliman, said that within the overall averages, there were some significant changes.
He said the lowest mortgage rates in 40 years had stimulated sales and led to higher prices in more modest studio, one-bedroom and smaller two-bedroom apartments, while having a limited effect on larger and more expensive homes.
''We are seeing a bottom-up real estate recovery, with smaller apartments being the first to respond to lower mortgage rates,'' he said. Buyers of lower-priced apartments are more likely to finance most of the purchase price, he said, and are more sensitive to interest rates.
''The market is very hot because of interest rates,'' said Joanne Kennedy, a principal of Coldwell Banker Hunt Kennedy, a Manhattan real estate agency. She said one of her brokers recently worked with a young couple renting a $2,950 one-bedroom apartment. They discovered that they could buy a $445,000 one-bedroom apartment they loved in the West 60's, put 30 percent down and cut monthly housing costs to $2,420, and get a tax deduction on top of that. ''The first-time buyer has a great opportunity,'' she said.
In 2002, the median price for one-bedroom co-ops rose by 7 percent to $343,000, while prices of studios rose by 2 percent to $299,000. Co-ops make up about three-quarters of all sales of studios and nearly two-thirds of all sales of one-bedrooms. The median price for a condominium studio was $280,000 and for a one-bedroom was $429,000, both down slightly from 2001.
Condominiums tend to cost more than co-ops because the maintenance costs are less, the rules are not as strict as those for co-ops and there are fewer purchase restrictions.
The weakness in the market for the most expensive apartments can be seen most starkly on the Upper East Side. The Douglas Elliman survey recorded only 36 sales of co-ops with four or more bedrooms last year, compared with an average of 89 a year during the previous decade. Prices for those apartments fell by $295 per square foot last year, or 21 percent, to an average of $1,092 per square foot, or about $3.3 million for a 3,000-square-foot apartment.
With that softness, the neighborhood lost another distinction. The report showed that prices for Upper West Side cooperatives of all sizes approached the level of those on the Upper East Side in 2002, $617 per square foot, compared with $619 per square foot. Two years earlier, prices on the Upper East Side were 8 percent, or $42 a square foot, higher than those across town.
In TriBeCa and SoHo, where apartments tend to be the largest and prices the highest, average condominium prices rose last year. Half the condominiums sold cost more than $1.5 million, an increase of 11 percent from 2001 prices and 20 percent from 2000. But even so, prices for the largest apartments, with three or more bedrooms, dropped significantly in 2002. The price for a typical three-bedroom fell 17 percent, to $1.87 million.
The new survey confirms the sense of many brokers that the market has gone from being a sellers' market to a balanced one, with neither buyers nor sellers having a strong advantage.
They see the market at a turning point, but no one is sure which way it will turn. Rising mortgage interest rates could drive prices down, Mr. Miller said, but a postwar economic upturn could lead some hesitant buyers to make a commitment.
''There are a lot of people and a lot of money on the sidelines,'' he said.Continue reading the main story

What to look for as the Chinese and American presidents gather for an informal meeting in Florida.
Asia Society Executive Vice President Tom Nagorski gazes into his crystal ball.
An interview with Syaru Shirley Lin on her new book "Taiwan's China Dilemma."
This week's best content from Asia, courtesy of the Asia Society family.
Since 2008, Beijing has tried to bring Taipei closer through increased economic and people exchanges. But the recent vote on the island suggests this approach isn't working.
It seems only fitting that at the end of 2011, a year of such tremendous political change around the world, we should all be fixated with intense curiosity on the machinations of a leadership transition in North Korea.
There are many reasons for the events that unfolded into the Arab Spring, but at the root is a failure in leadership. While the Arab Spring did not result in similar uprisings in Asia, the events were followed with tremendous interest throughout the region.
Asia Society President Vishakha Desai says that there's something different about the quality of female politicians in Asia today.

 In a previous entry entitled  "What's calling System.gc()?" Ian talked about how to find out what code is calling System.gc() using method trace and the jstacktrace or javadump options.

 For users of "IBM Monitoring and Diagnostic Tools for Java - HealthCenter" (Health Center) there's a much simpler mechanism, which I'll cover below.

Detecting the (over) use of System.gc() using Health Center

 Health Center provides live monitoring and analysis of a number of areas of a running JVM and application, including Garbage collection (GC). Part of the GC analysis determines if calls to System.gc() are being made, and the rate at which those calls are occurring. If the rate is high, Health Center will flag up a warning or an error in the Status panel: In this case Health Center has highlighted a warning that calls to System.gc() are accounting for 15% of the GC cycles.

 If your worried about any calls to System.gc(), clicking on the "Garbage Collection" link will give you a more detailed view of GC, including a count of the number of calls to System.gc() (forced GCs), the number of allocation failures (non-forced GCs) and the total number of GC cycles.

Determining what is calling System.gc()

 If you want to know what code is making the calls to System.gc(), the "Profiling" link contains the information. Clicking on the link opens the following panel:

This gives a breakdown of the various methods that are being called in the application. If you then filter on "System.gc()", and click on the "Invocation paths" tab in the bottom window, you see the call stack for the calls to System.gc():

 In this case, there is only one method calling System.gc(), which is StoreData.run(). If there were multiple methods calling System.gc() then there would be an expandable tree under the System.gc() call, and the percentage against each displayed method would show the rate at which each method is responsible for calling System.gc(). In the case above there is only one caller, it is therefore responsible for 100% of the calls to System.gc().

 In IBM Java support, a large number of the problems we help customers with present themselves as poor application performance. Often, when we dig into the problem it turns out to be related to unexpected garbage collection behaviour, and quite often, related to an application's use of the System.gc() API.

 In this entry I'll discuss the System.gc() API, and why IBM support recommend that you don't use it. I'll talk about how you can find out where in your application is calling System.gc() and also how to detect whether third-party code you're using calls it.

 About System.gc()
 System.gc() is a Java API provided by the system class libraries. An important point to note, which you can read about in the Sun javadoc is that calling System.gc() is a hint to the garbage collector to run - it's under no obligation to actually do so. IBM has some further information and advice on this point. You may be interested to know that IBM provide a command-line option to disable System.gc() entirely. To get the behaviour, add -Xdisableexplicitgc to your command-line (the equivalent Sun option is -XX:+DisableExplicitGC). However, completely disabling System.gc() may have unintended consequences, because some System.gc() calls are useful and necessary (those which are used to generate seeds for crypto operations, or to free up resources associated with NIO buffers, for example).

 Using -verbose:gc
 The best way to detect whether System.gc() is being called is to examine the output you get by enabling -verbose:gc. Setting -verbose:gc causes the garbage collector to write a log summarising its activity to stderr. You can read more about IBM's -verbose:gc output in the IBM Java Diagnostics Guide. If you're interested in parsing and plotting the output from -verbose:gc then a great tool to use is IBM's Garbage Collection and Memory Visualizer (GCMV).

 Here's an example section from some -verbose:gc output, showing the sort of output produced when System.gc() is called by the Java application.

 <sys id="1" timestamp="Jul 08 16:26:53 2009" intervalms="0.000"> <time exclusiveaccessms="0.026" /> <tenured freebytes="635784" totalbytes="26214400" percent="2" /> <gc type="global" id="5" totalid="5" intervalms="1584.443"> <classunloading classloaders="0" classes="0" timevmquiescems="0.000" timetakenms="0.045" /> <timesms mark="2.321" sweep="0.361" compact="0.000" total="2.799" /> <tenured freebytes="25800240" totalbytes="26214400" percent="98" /> </gc> <tenured freebytes="25800240" totalbytes="26214400" percent="98" /> <time totalms="2.845" /> </sys>
 You can tell that System.gc() was called, because the section begins with a <sys> tag.
 Finding the culprits
 So, how do you find out where in a large application called System.gc()? Well, obviously you could search your codebase. But what if you are using third-party code which you don't have the source code to? Here is where features built-in to IBM's JVMs can help you. There are two main ways to work out where System.gc() is coming from.

 Triggering a javacore
 The IBM JVM has a "trace engine" built in, which can be used to track Java methods and trigger different actions when certain method(s) execute. One of the actions is to trigger a javacore - a text file showing information about the JVM, including thread stacks. Here's how you would tell the JVM to write a javacore every time System.gc is called:

 -Xtrace:trigger=method{java/lang/System.gc,javadump}
 Running this simple testcase:
 public class SystemGCTest { public static void main(String[] args) { one(); } public static void one() { two(); } public static void two() { System.gc(); } }
 gives the following output on the console:
 JVMDUMP034I User requested Java dump using 'C:\javacore.20091105.162252.8048.0001.txt' through -Xtrace:trigger JVMDUMP010I Java dump written to C:\javacore.20091105.162252.8048.0001.txt
 The javacore.20091105.162252.8048.0001.txt file includes these lines:
 3XMTHREADINFO "main" TID:0x41C31300, j9thread_t:0x003A54C4, state:R, prio=5 3XMTHREADINFO1 (native thread ID:0xC4C, native priority:0x5, native policy:UNKNOWN) 4XESTACKTRACE at java/lang/System.gc(System.java:284) 4XESTACKTRACE at SystemGCTest.two(SystemGCTest.java:12) 4XESTACKTRACE at SystemGCTest.one(SystemGCTest.java:8) 4XESTACKTRACE at SystemGCTest.main(SystemGCTest.java:4)

 Seeing it on the console
 Sometimes, taking a javacore file might be too heavyweight though. Maybe you'd just like to see the stacktrace on the console output? Try this option:

 -Xtrace:print=mt,methods={java/lang/System.gc},trigger=method{java/lang/System.gc,jstacktrace}
 It's a bit unwieldy because you have to specify the method twice (once to enable method tracing, and once to set the trigger). That's something we hope to simplify in the future, but it gives the information you need, direct to the console:
 16:29:53.234*0x41c31300 mt.3 > java/lang/System.gc()V Bytecode static method 16:29:53.234 0x41c31300 mt.19 - Static method arguments: () 16:29:53.234 0x41c31300 j9trc_aux.0 - jstacktrace: 16:29:53.234 0x41c31300 j9trc_aux.1 - [1] java.lang.System.gc (System.java:284) 16:29:53.234 0x41c31300 j9trc_aux.1 - [2] SystemGCTest.two (SystemGCTest.java:12) 16:29:53.234 0x41c31300 j9trc_aux.1 - [3] SystemGCTest.one (SystemGCTest.java:8) 16:29:53.234 0x41c31300 j9trc_aux.1 - [4] SystemGCTest.main (SystemGCTest.java:4) 16:29:53.234 0x41c31300 mt.9 < java/lang/System.gc()V Bytecode static method

 Conclusion
 I've shown two different ways that you can use the trace facilities that are built-in to the IBM JVM to work out where stray calls to System.gc() are originating from. Of course, you could also use these options to trace any other Java method that you are interested in. If you'd like more information, a good reference is the trigger trace documentation in the IBM Java Diagnostics Guide.

 By the way, all these options apply to IBM Java 5.0 and later. If you're running an earlier version of IBM Java then the options are specified as system properties rather than through -Xtrace e.g.

 -Dibm.dg.trc.trigger=method(java/lang/System.gc,javadump)

Which airline ?
Report Abuse
They are all legacy airlines and probably the same. Recently have tended to favor Delta but it will not make much difference.
Report Abuse
I don't think there is a huge difference between them, but I do think Delta is marginally better than American and United. If price and schedule were similar, I'd choose Delta.
Report Abuse
I flew USAir to Costa Rica and had no problems.
Report Abuse
And how far ahead do I need to book these flights, we are going next February.

And how far ahead do I need to book these flights, we are going next February.
Prices are pretty high no matter when you book as the airlines have finally sorted out their capacity discipline problems. I don't think there is a magic time to book, but do think booking much before November would be jumping the gun, if only because schedules will change and you might book something thinking the schedule works and it doesn't end up being the case.
All in all, assuming you are fully committed to the trip, I'd probably start watching fares and book a good one anytime between November and December and then book whatever you have to in early January if nothing good comes up.
Report Abuse
I have just seen some good flights with ebookers flying with delta, any opinions on this .
Report Abuse
Just looked at an arbitrary date in February (the 5th) for a one-way from LAX to SJO. Price was around $380. There's really no need to book now but it would be smart to keep looking every so often and see what happens with the fare. If it drops significantly then book it. I wouldn't wait until November/December to book, they aren't going to add capacity so I can't imagine the price will drop once we get into the winter months. Just keep an eye on it for the next few months and be ready to book something if you find a good deal.
P.S. I'm assuming you're going one-way and flying from there back to Paris or London.
Report Abuse
At the moment best deal paris to LA. Then onto Costa Rica and back through LA
That is with Delta but operated by air france
Report Abuse
My only comment is AA. they are a preferred vendor for our company and I get stuck on a lot of their flights. I have found them to have the worst customer service - and often extra long lines since they deliberately understaff.
I would think any major is better than them. Also I have flown JetBlue several times recently and really like them (maybe good in CA) since you can get seat rows with a ton of extra leg room practically free - I think $59.
Report Abuse
Hi Does anyone think that 879€ is a good price per person - Paris to LA, San Francisco to Costa Rica and then return from Costa Rica to Paris. To me it sounds good, it is with Delta
Report Abuse
That does sound like a pretty good deal, as long as the schedule isn't crazy.
Report Abuse
Thanks a lot. Great time out from Paris, then overnight from LA to Costa Rica and early back but then we get to Paris mid morning to get our plane to the South of France.

Yet, no matter what he did, authorities kept releasing him back into the public so he could victimize more people. Now he is being charged with assaulting three different female pedestrians. He is also a suspect in attacks on two other women.
One of the victims, Amanda Morris, was stabbed in the face right in front of her Chelsea area home.
A 32 year old white female was bashed in the face in Greenwich Village.
A 43 year old woman who based in the face with a heavy shopping bag on 5th Ave.

Train No. 6 on the D. & P.W., two hours late at Limon, was rushing and jolting along over its rickety roadbed. The rain fell in torrents, the heavy peals of thunder seemed about to tear the car to pieces, the black and threatening clouds blotted out the landscape, and the passengers could hear nothing but the roar of the thunder and the rattle of the train. The brakeman, shaking the water from his hat as he passed through the aisle, dropped something about it being a "mighty tough day for railroadin'." Suddenly there was a creaking, a cracking, and then a series of awful jolts. Window glass broke and flew in every direction. Like a mighty monster that had suddenly been frightened by an unseen foe, the train lurched forward, tipped a little, and slowly came to an uncertain stop. People were hurled from their seats with a great violence as the emergency brake was set. A baby cried out from a seat near the front of the car, and a woman screamed as a satchel from the luggage rack above her head dropped down upon her. Willis Thornton raised his arms above his head just in time to save a heavy leather suitcase from striking his mother full in the face. Through the broken windows was heard the shrill warning notes of the engine's trouble whistle, but so intense was the storm that the sound seemed rather a part of the raging gale. The brakeman rushed through the car, and as he passed Willis heard him exclaim half-aloud, "The freight!" Then in a loud, shaky voice, not meant to betray excitement, he shouted, "All out; train off the track!"

Chorlton Arts Festival is changing …
After 15 years, we have taken the exciting decision to make some changes here at Chorlton Arts Festival.
We have always been an ambitious festival run by a small team and some amazing volunteers. This team encompasses passion for the arts and for creating an exciting event for both Chorlton and outside visitors alike. Over 15 years we have done a lot with very little, and very proud we are too.
After all this history, we now feel we can do more. We feel it's important for us to create a more sustainable event and to work on new ideas to support artists, the local community and our creative programme.
We are looking to the future and a bigger, better and more locally engaged arts festival and we'd like your thoughts. Keep an eye put for our Festival programme, with details of a community meeting to share ideas about our Festival's future.
What an adventure this promises to be….
Chorlton Arts Festival for 2017…
As a result of this decision, we've decided to run a scaled down version of the Chorlton Arts Festival this year. We'll be running the very popular Chorlton Weekender and possibly some other funding raising events later in the year.
Further details will be announced here.

From the Wikipedia page [1]
Greenwich was a local government district within the metropolitan area of London from 1855 to 1900. It was formed by the Metropolis Management Act 1855 and was governed by the Greenwich District Board of Works, which consisted of elected vestrymen.
Until 1889 the district was partly in the counties of Kent and Surrey, but included in the area of the Metropolitan Board of Works. In 1889 the area of the MBW was constituted the County of London, and the district board became a local authority under the London County Council.
Now part of the Royal Borough of Greenwich

"Hirrendous no level of care"
About: Tiverton and District Hospital Tiverton and District Hospital Tiverton EX16 6NT
Posted by Emily
Having been unwell for days and collapsing in pain at work I was sent to the urgent care centre by my manager, although I was the only person there I was left waiting while the staff chatted and drank coffee in the office. Once seen for my details I was sent back to the waiting room while more coffe was consumed. I was then abruptly called in by a nurse who sat me down and proceeded to tell me they were confused as to why I would walk into the hospital knowing I could be infectious, was I stupid? how could I think it was okay to go to the hospital from work (farm) covered head to toe in excrement (not true! I was clean my clothes were stained, I hadn't gotten dirty as all i had done was feed and bed down while wearing protective clothing that I had already removed) They then told me how they were going to have to shut down the room I was in and the waiting room for full cleaning and that they didn't know what I was expecting them to do ermm hello your a hospital treat me! I was refused treatment all the nurse wanted to do was try and make me feel bad because they had to get those rooms cleaned. For a place of care the urgent care center fell way below expectations, I wasn't treated I left in as much, if not more pain than I was in when I arrived and emotionally battered by the experience.
This nurse has no bedside manner, no conpasion and not a single caring bone by the looks of it! I have never felt so mistreated by a healthcare 'professional' in my life. Unfortunately the option for no starts wasn't there but I give no starts just as you gave no conpasion or an attempt at treatment

Editor's note: This is the first of several stories on environmentally friendly, or green, homes in Long Beach. The following story in the series will focus on real estate agents and home designers who are helping Long Beach residents convert their residences into greener homes.
The phrase "net zero" at first might sound like nothing but a waste of time or money, but to Greg Morse it's the best result that the people of planet Earth can expect if they don't start respecting the environment.
The Long Beach native is doing something about climate change in the midst of one of the city's most affluent neighborhoods.
He had built a few years ago what he calls a "net-zero" home in Naples.
"The goal when we built it was to be net-zero energy," Morse said. "It creates as much energy as we consume."
The 3,224-square-foot home is equipped with high-efficiency just about everything: insulation, lighting, water, air and heating systems, electric appliances, windows. It also employs gray-water recycling and has a large array of solar panels that supply the home and its occupants the energy they need – and more.
"Everything is generated by the solar panels on the roof," said Morse, adding that the 8.5 kilowatts of power even help charge his Chevrolet Volt while it's parked in the garage.
The home was quite an upgrade from an existing residence on the spot at 57 Sedona Walk.
In a built-out community such as Long Beach, there's little room for building green housing, so many environmentally conscious homeowners are upgrading or tearing down older housing so they can live in energy-efficient homes that they feel do less damage to the environment.
The designer of the home, Long Beach-based Jeannette Architects, has reported getting commissions to design greener homes, or help make homes greener, from a growing number of homeowners in the area.
Morse and his wife, Jenna, bought the house on the spot, a 1938 three-bedroom cottage. They had it torn down and commissioned the five-bedroom, 31/2-bath, modern-looking green home.
"It was something that I wanted to do," Morse said. "You can always add more appliances and more niceties to the house later on, but stuff like this you kind of need to do when you build the house."
With children ages 8, 6 and 9 months, Morse said he worries about the impact of climate change, including global warming and rising water levels as polar ice caps melt and more threatening storm surges occur. The family lives on Naples Island, and Morse said he takes notice when the water rises during winter storms.
"A lot of Long Beach is only a foot or two above the water," he said. "When we have high tide around here, you see water shoot around the sidewalks."
Morse owns a Long Beach-based startup software company called Just Ahead, which makes an iPhone and Android app that turns smartphones into audio tour guides for travelers. Previously, he worked in the tech sector for companies in Silicon Valley and Pasadena.
When building the house, Morse used some of that technological know-how, and one of the choices he made was that instead of investing the thousands of dollars required to buy solar panels, he went with a San Francisco-based company called Sunrun, which installed them for free. Such companies front the cost of the panels, and customers in turn agree to buy power from them.
"The power you buy from the solar company is cheaper than Edison," he said.
Morse declined to state the exact cost to build the home but said it was about $200 per square foot, which isn't very far off in cost of a custom home. He also gets tax rebates for using the high-efficiency appliances.
But for Morse, the home is more about being a statement of his belief that the environment needs protecting, and he said he hopes to be an example to his neighbors, many of whom he has seen put up solar panels in the past few years – both before and after he did.
"It's a vote with your pocketbook, so to speak," he said of living in a green home.
With the lack of rainfall in recent news, now is as good a time as any to set examples and be conscientious, especially for Southern Californians who should remember they live in a desert environment, he said.
"With the drought, that's important to note," he added.
That's why Morse had the home built with what's known as "gray-water recycling," in which plants and vegetation surrounding the home are irrigated by water from showers and sinks so that no additional water is needed. "For our house, we use zero water for irrigation," he said. "It's all free. It's water that would have gone down the drain."
Morse said the lessons he's trying to pass along to others were learned when he was a young Eagle Scout learning to respect and survive in nature.
"I try to leave the place better off than you left it," Morse said. "I think that's an important perspective for anybody to have."

Differentiated Instruction
2 comments:
- AnonymousOctober 1, 2010 at 8:29 PM
Differentiated instruction sounds amazing for students on paper but how do you make lesson plans that will actually meet the needs of all the students modalities, interest, abilities, learning styles, and readiness? It looks like you need five teachers for every child or a 50 hour school day to meet Differentiated Instruction philosophy.ReplyDelete

Another blog not about Charmed
Basically it's a new movie that came out yesterday or the day before. I still haven't seen it yet, but I've seen a lot of trailers about it and I've read some user reviews of it on tumblr and what not. Without even watching the movie yet, I can tell I'll be able to relate to the movie, since I've been through basically everything the main character, Taylor (Played by Emily Osment) has been through.
Ironically, it all started with getting bullied at school, which eventually lead to be it being online as well, so really hard to escape that kind of crap. So yeah, basically; it just sends one meaningful message to everyone. Don't bully other people, be it in real life or online. It doesn't make you cool or whatever you want to be in life. It's pathetic and words hurt everyone even though no one ones to admit it, it's true. Plain and the simple really, just don't do it, it doesn't make you better then anyone else.

PWI – Pocket Word Documents are also known as Ink Writer/Note Taker documents that were made by Microsoft Word for their Windows Mobile edition. Sometimes called "Pocket Word", PWI is created on Pocket PC PDAs that are using the Windows Mobile OS. While it is like a Word .doc document, it does not have features such as footers, headers and comments ability. You can view PWI files through Outlook's "Notes" when you sync with a Windows mobile device. To accomplish this have synchronization turned on for notes and then sync with the Windows Mobile Device Center. You can then view the notes in Outlook. PWI files previously could be opened by Microsoft Active Sync in conjunction with Microsoft Word, but with Microsoft's release of the Windows Mobile Device Center, PWI - Pocket Word Document support is no longer provided. Handwritten text in PWI files can be read by Microsoft OneNote2003, and there are some older editions of Microsoft Works than can open PWI files, including Works 7.0.
While when you import a PWI file to your computer it will allow you to read it using Word, text written with your light pen on your PDA will not be readable.


text: So, I was going through all of my inspires yesterday to make sure all of my firmware is up to date and when I got to the second one (which wasn't recognizing its SSD, SD was fine) it had displayed a recording resolution of 4.6k, but it also had a shorter recording time (just under 2 hours vs 2:12 on a 64GB card) than if it was at 4k. I made the dumb mistake of looking at the selectable resolutions rather than immediately trying to record, which made it go away. But maybe this resolution will be popping up in a future FW update.

Senmuth is becoming more and more known for his high versatility and quantity of work in the musical scene. This Russian multi-instrumentalist has done a tremendous amount of releases in the past 11 years. "Akhet Mery Ra" is his most ambitious project before March 2015, clocking at 3h30 of Egyptian infused music. The most remarkable aspect of this project is the sheer quality that is almost always present in the entire release. For a more concise and clear review, I will describe each part separately.
The beginning of disc 1 possesses a small introduction that transits to the first song of the album. This first song is already a surprise because one can describe it as a speed metal song with some symphonic arrangements. After this wall of sounds, we hear a very good Egyptian folk song that features very good female chants. There is also some EBM influence mix in "Osiris/Orion" that contributes to make this first part of the release very interesting. The best song of this CD, " Merytneith" , was also the single choice for the album. This song may be the best song Senmuth has written that include vocals. Think the opera song from the movie "The fifth element" mixed with metal and folk passages of the greatest kind and you will start to know what this song is. The rest of the CD serves to close this part of the album and introduce the next part of the release.
The second disc starts again with a small introduction before transitioning with a pagan death metal song. Instead of a more Nordic folk element, it is indeed an Egyptian atmosphere that the song is based upon. Another great experiment on this CD that is worth a mention is "Heb-Sed of the Earliest Times" that sounds like an instrumental grunge rock song with the usual Egyptian feel present in the entire release. There is also a song that builds many little climaxes named "Lost Sekhemkhet" made of many impressive symphonic arrangements. The bass instrument is also used much in " Ritual Dances of the Priestesses of Hathor" in an impressive manner again. The rest of the CD is again a conclusion to the first half of the release and is quite relaxing.
The third disc is where the release is less interesting. Senmuth tries on this CD to create a more oppressive atmosphere. There lies my main complaint about this CD; he doesn't create an atmosphere that sticks with you while listening to it. Senmuth has done many other releases based on atmosphere and this CD just doesn't seem to attain the high quality that he normally delivers. Nonetheless, this third part isn't boring at all; the artist still delivers something different from the other CDs and he still manages to give an interesting atmosphere. In my opinion, it's only because of this CD that this album isn't excellent for the fact that Senmuth can do better.
We arrive at last at the final part of this release. Here, Senmuth tries another atmosphere that I could qualify as eerie and psychedelic. This time it actually works and finishes that great release on a high note. The first song is a weird mix between gothic, darkwave and EBM, but gives the kind of atmosphere that Senmuth is able to pull off. The artist continues to give that atmosphere for the next couple of songs while varying the styles to keep things fresh. There is a transition between the seventh and eighth songs on this CD that serves to link this part to the conclusion of the entire release. This conclusion is just superb. It's long enough for an album of this amplitude and possesses enough different harmonies to let us dream about this Egyptian age. The first of three songs that makes up the conclusion is a perfect new age song complete with female chants, slow build up and guitar of the greatest kind. The second song is a slow new age ballad with another guest singer and very great flute passages. The choice of the last song of the album is strange but at the same time can make sense depending on the angle that you try to understand it from. The song serves as an end of an epoch, but also the beginning of another. My interpretation of this is the fact that the Egyptian empire has many other ages than the four told in this release and so, the story continues afterwards.
On a production level, all of the four CDs possess the great production of mister Senmuth that is always very precise and not the typical production of the major labels. Just try to put his songs in a sound test program, and you will see that the wavelengths are varying depending on if it's a heavy song or a ballad. Even within one song, the difference of intensity of the wavelength can be quite high. While the major labels use a different strategy that also works, I'm just always happy to see someone coming with a different approach that's working as much as these major labels.
In conclusion, even without the least interesting part of this release, we have 2h45 of great music while the entire release works as a whole and each part has its own beginning and end. The final result is an album that is very close to excellence. I recommend this album because of the amplitude of the release and the sheer amount of quality put into it. I recommend this release for fans of Egyptian infused music and ambitious projects that still manage to feel complete.

The Truth About Vitamin E
It doesn't stave off heart disease, so who should take it?
WebMD Feature
March 27, 2000 (Petaluma, Calif.) -- When Alice Nadler heard the latest on vitamin E, she began to wonder if the experts really know what they're talking about. "I've been taking vitamin E for a couple of years, ever since my doctor recommended it as a way to lower my risk of heart disease," says the 40-year-old mother of two boys, who lives in Northern California. "So now they're saying it may not?"
Like Nadler, many Americans began popping vitamin E -- now one of the top-selling supplements nationwide -- a few years ago after studies suggested that it might protect against heart disease. In one study published in Lancet in 1996, men and women with cardiovascular disease who took the vitamin each day cut their risk of a second heart attack almost in half. In 1993, the Journal of the National Cancer Institute published findings from a five-year Chinese study that followed nearly 30,000 adults. Those who took vitamin E supplements were 9% less likely to die during the study period.
Many researchers cautioned that more investigations were needed to confirm the power of E. But privately, some also admitted that they were taking a daily dose of the vitamin themselves, because the initial findings looked so good.
