Frost & Sullivan Honors Interland for Market Leadership Strategy
Palo Alto, CA — (Business Wire) — Today, Frost
& Sullivan presents the 2003 Market Leadership Award for Shared
Hosting to Interland (Nasdaq:INLD – News) for its indisputable market
share, superior shared hosting products and the ability to successfully
execute growth strategies in a dynamic industry.
The shared hosting market is one of the more price-competitive
markets in the United States, making it difficult to gain market share
and keep it over time. Atlanta-based Interland, a leading Web hosting
and online services company, is working to change that trend.
Interland's success in growing its shared hosting market share is due
to its aggressive acquisition strategy over the past two years that
resulted in disparate small and medium sized enterprise (SME) focused
hosting brands being brought into the Interland family. Additional
market share was obtained by purchasing customer accounts from other
hosting providers that exited the SME focused hosting market.
Over the course of 2003, the shared hosting market was the only Web
hosting segment in the U.S. market to record growth, and Interland's
indisputable market share lead bodes well for the company.
As the shared hosting market stabilizes and settles into a slow but
sustainable revenue growth path, Interland is expected to remain one of
the key players in the shared hosting segment throughout the rest of the
decade. Interland's focus on sustainable revenue growth earned the
company Frost & Sullivan's Market Leadership Award.
This honor is given to the company that has exhibited market share
leadership through the implementation of market engineering strategy.
The recipient has displayed excellence in all areas of the Market
Leadership process, including the identification of market challenges,
drivers and restraints, as well as strategy development and methods of
addressing these market dynamics. Furthermore, the recipient has
continually demonstrated solutions for monitoring market changes and for
implementing superior market engineering strategies.
"Interland's efforts to concentrate on meaningful metrics such as
actual revenues rather than URLs hosted and number of customers served
leads me to believe that management understands a financially viable
business must rely on revenues earned," said Jarad Carleton, Frost &
Sullivan senior industry analyst. "It has taken the industry years to
realize that measurements such as revenue earned, customer satisfaction,
performance and reliability are what define a successful and
sustainable Web hosting business; fortunately Interland has learned from
its past mistakes and those of competitors in the market. I expect to
see Interland continuing to serve the SME market and raising the hosting
service bar further for years to come."
About Interland
Interland Inc. is a leading Web hosting and online services company
dedicated to helping small and medium businesses achieve success by
providing the knowledge, services and tools to build, manage and promote
businesses online. Interland offers a wide selection of online
services, including standardized Web hosting, e-commerce, application
hosting and Web site development, marketing and optimization tools. For

In the beginning, there's a sawdust ring, surrounded by what seems to be a low concrete wall. A group of people in peasant dress enter, walking beside a horse-drawn cart. To measured music, they release a bundle from the cart. It rises slowly toward the ceiling; you see that it's a net containing a tangle of gold plates and pitchers. This treasure will hang under the lights, shining, through the rest of the evening's performance.
Several women remove what turns out to be a cloth from the apparently solid wall, revealing a lacy pattern with light filtering through it. Later, the sawdust floor will also change under the lights, so that it looks now like a grassy plain, now like the sea.
The precision, the attention to detail, the air of purposeful mystery, the way the performers prepare the set -- these elements characterize the entire evening. Neither hurried nor apologetic, they say, in essence: Watch this; we are making magic in front of your eyes. They're also familiar to us from the Cirque du Soleil; one of its co-founders, Gilles Ste-Croix, is the creator of Cheval Théâtre.
Cheval Thtre
In the parking lot of the Pepsi Center
Through September 16
1-877-528-0777, www.admission.com
Of course, it's the horse that's central to this enterprise. Cheval Théâtre features thirty magnificent equines, with names like Gadjal, Chabo, Dansk, Hercule and Vizir, and seventeen distinct breeds, including Percheron, Boulonnais draft horse, Haflinger, Andalusian and Akhal Teke. The show brings to mind every horse of myth, history or fairy tale you've ever read or heard about. You think of Black Beauty, Alexander the Great's war horse Bucephalus and the chorus in Shakespeare's Henry V saying, "Think when we speak of horses that you see them, printing their proud hooves in th' receiving earth." In particular, you recall the myth of the Centaur -- the creature that's half man, half horse -- because the performers of Cheval Théâtre seem so remarkably in tune with their charges. But then, you have to be in tune to leap into the air from the rump of a galloping horse, perform a back somersault and land on the back of a second horse coming up behind.
The women ride lightly, hair and skirts flying, bare feet moving rhythmically on the horses' backs. Later, a group of horses circles the ring at such speed that you expect them to churn themselves into butter. One by one, six Cossacks enter. Their horseback moves differ from those of the acrobats who preceded them. They leap and vault over the animals, but they also hang from the horses' sides, their heads inches from the pounding hooves; one scrambles under his racing mount and up the other side. The program describes this as "Cossack vaulting," developed to conceal riders from their enemies, and calls the horses who do this "brave, flexible and generous."
Some segments of the Théâtre resemble regular circus acts, with a ringmaster cracking his or her whip as the horses circle and the acrobats perform their tricks. In others, the focus is on the horses rather than the riders as, singly or in groups, they dance through the complex movements of dressage. (I have the luck to be seated near Lynda Fisher, an Aurora breeder of Arabian horses, and Diana Zetterlemoyer, who owns two of Fisher's horses. They point out the complex and almost imperceptible movements of the trainers' hands, feet and thighs guiding the horses.)

Some of the acts are eerie, almost mystical; many are evocative. An Andalusian, guided by a rider with a pole, and a performer (Claire Leroy) seem to dance together; there are movements of challenge and submission. A white horse lies down by his great-coated rider in a swirl of mist. A woman (Caroline Williams) wearing a black outfit -- high heels, a tall, feathered headdress, an outrageously hooped skirt -- plays with a black horse no bigger than a large dog; he leaves, and she guides six magnificent stallions while they circle, waltz, rear up and create softly flowing patterns around the ring. A man in white tights and with cropped red hair, French acrobat Benjamin Grain, performs a series of smooth, beautiful moves with a white horse as if he and the horse were one being.
Christian Ferland plays a lovesick clown who wants to impress his lady by learning how to ride. A great dark horse walks into the ring and stands in front of him. Ferland tries to mount but cannot. He asks the horse to lie down. Obligingly, the horse does. But just as Ferland is about to swing a leg over his side, the horse rolls over, legs in the air, like a submissive dog. Horse and clown work through a series of moves and miscalculations together. At one point, Ferland straightens one of the horse's powerful legs and examines it thoughtfully. The sequence is funny, but there's also something touching about it. The man seems to be trying to grasp the very essence of horse, and the horse is allowing itself to be known more as an act of kindness, of noblesse oblige, than of submission. It's as if both are interested in somehow dissolving the ancient boundary between species.
You can try making a plot out of what you're seeing -- the net filled with gold objects, the oddly androgynous costumes of some of the players, the soldier who seems to be dying with his horse, the clown's love for a lady. Clearly the creators of Cheval Théâtre have some story in mind. But it's enough just to wonder at the acrobats' daring and skill and the horses' beauty while allowing the strange images to linger in your mind and arouse what associations they will.
As we leave, I asked Zetterlemoyer if she and Fisher often somersault from the backs of their Arabians. "A lot," she says. "Just not intentionally."

A New York University professor on Thursday won the prestigious Kavli Prize for his study of molecule-sized structures.
Nadrian Seeman was one of eight scientists honored for research in the areas of astrophysics, neuroscience and nanotechnology.
The prizes were announced at a ceremony in Oslo, Norway, and simultaneously broadcast at the World Science Festival at NYU.
"Feels great. What can I say?'' Seeman, 64, said in a phone interview from the festival.
"It means recognition for a field in which there are a lot of people, most of them a lot younger than me, participating,'' he said. "The importance of the field is not just what we're doing in our laboratory but what's being done in all the laboratories that partake in this enterprise.''
Seeman discovered that DNA --the genetic material of living creatures--could be used to construct an assortment of molecule-sized devices and machines. In a recent study published in the science journal "Nature,'' Seeman and others showed how they built from DNA a functioning assembly line of molecular robots.
Seeman will share the $1 million nanotechnology award with Donald Eigler of IBM's Almaden Research Center in San Jose, Calif.
Eigler was the first person to succeed at moving precisely an individual atom from one place to another in 1989. The prize cited
him for "a series of breakthroughs that have helped us to understand some of the most basic units of matter.''

The verdict is in. Reviewers have unanimously rated the New Google Nexus 7 as the best 7-inch Android tablet on the market in its price range. While the search engine is reportedly planning on releasing the tablet in the Indian market soon, there has been a surge of interest in the older model.
Both Amazon and Flipkart are constantly showing up the Nexus 7 tablet in search results as a 'hot' product, meaning that it is being looked at a lot right now. In fact the 16 GB version of the tablet is available on Amazon.co.in for Rs 11,999. However the price is the same on the Google Play Store.
The screen dimensions of the old and new model are the same, and while the new model has a rear-facing camera, the old model only had a front-facing camera for videoconferencing. The tech experts at Engadgetpoint out that the new version is much more comfortable to use: "We loved how the Nexus 7 felt in our hands, especially since the original version was a good deal thicker... Due to the thinner profile, we found that our hands were able to grasp onto the sides of the device a little more easily."
Here's a sampling of the prices online for the 32 GB model of the Google Nexus (original). If you want to opt for a cheaper version, you can look at the 16 GB version as well.
Amazon: Rs 20,999
Snapdeal.com: Rs 18,900
Google Play: Rs 15,999
Ebay: Rs 20,370
Tradus: 18,000
Indiatimes Shopping: Rs 18,429
In India, the Nexus 7 (2012) version starts at Rs 15,999 while the 32 GB version starts at Rs 18,999. Both however are WiFi only. The 32 GB WiFi plus 3G costs Rs 21,900 making it much cheaper than the iPad mini in India. The iPad mini starts at Rs 29,990 for 16 GB with WiFi and 3G making it quite an expensive buy.
However, critics have pointed out that choosing between the iPad Mini and the Google Nexus is a tough choice. But at the end of the day, the tablet wins out at pricing. "Even with the price increase, Google has Apple beaten on price. The Nexus 7 may lack the cachet and many of the apps that the iPad Mini has, but you'll be able to do a lot with it. I hope technology companies won't make price hikes a habit, but this one is made palatable by the device's richer display, sound and camera," points out a review in the Associated Press.
The iPad Mini 32 GB model retails on Amazon for Rs 35,400.
The Samsing Galaxy Tab 3 sells on Amazon for Rs 17,399, and it does offer a cheaper version, though as this review on Gigaom.com points out, it will short-sell you on the display and camera. "The new Galaxy Tab 3 tops out at a lowly 1280 x 800 resolution making me feel like I'm looking at a screen from 2010, not from 2013," says the reviewer. "The rear camera on the Galaxy Tab 3 uses a 3 megapixel sensor and images are acceptable, not impressive."
The new generation Nexus 7 is the second device released by a joint venture by Google and Taiwanese technology major Asus.

Boston (+0.5%): The metro area is one of the few tracked by the Case-Shiller index that has seen relatively little fallout from the housing bust. Prices are down just 14 percent from the peak. And for 2009, prices climbed just a hair -- 0.5 percent -- making Boston one of only six cities to see home values rise in 2009.

surfcosta.com had the best time there this summer. PM me if you have any questions. i think they also post on here. hands down best surf trip/vacation with the gf i have ever been on (been surfing for 13 years and traveled to many places). the guides i had were great - jorge and robert. beautiful location, great waves, and lots of other non surfing activities to keep the girl happy. they will pick you up from the airport, be down to take you wherever you want to go, surf with you (if jorge is your guide), take you to the best places to eat, waterfalls, zip lining, rafting, ect. they are more than accommodating (many days i woke up at 5 to surf and they were running around with me til late in the evening). i have had friends who stayed at surf costa and at similar places in costa rica, and everyone i know agrees that surfcosta was the most fun. good luck, and if you go tell them dan kennedy recommend it to you on a message board (i plan to return next year).

Security company BitDefender have uncovered a new piece of malware that has been created specifically to work only with the Firefox browser.{ad}
The trojan has been given the name Trojan.PWS.ChromeInject.A and if a machine is compromised it is placed inside the Firefox add-on folder. In the add-on window it is listed with the name "Greasemonkey" clearly in an attempt to look like another popular and legitimate add-on going by the same name.
What this trojan does is sit there filtering the data being passed through Firefox looking for specific banking sites, the full list of which can be viewed on the BitDefender virus information page. The list includes a number of very popular banks and transaction sites including Barclays, Bank of America, and PayPal. The full list currently contains 103 banking sites.
When it detects communication with a bank on its list the trojan captures the login details for that site. The filtering of traffic is carried out by a JavaScript file.
Once it has captured information about your banking habits the trojan forwards it on to an address hosted in Russia. BitDefender have updated their protection to cater for this new trojan and other vendors are expected to follow suit.
Read more at BitDefender, found via PC World
Matthew's Opinion
BitDefender say that this is the first trojan to specifically target Firefox. I think that demonstrates the growing popularity of the browser. With over a 20% market share it is starting to make up a significant number of browsers and clearly has become of interest to malware writers.
Checking whether you are infected should be a simple task of looking in your add-on folder and seeing if Greasemonkey is listed. If you don't use that add-on and it is present you have a problem. I'm not sure what would happen if you do use it, but in all probability you will have two folders listed.
The trojan is also listed as not spreading very far as it relies on you either downloading it, or other malware spreading it. As ever, just be cautious with what you are downloading and only use Firefox add-ons from the official Mozilla site.

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia, June 21 (UPI) -- Swiss energy trading company Vitol said Friday it signed a deal with Russian energy company Rosneft to secure LNG from the Far East.
Vitol regional trading Director Jeffrey Martz signed a sales and purchase agreement in St. Petersburg with Rosneft President Igor Sechin.
"Through the agreement with Vitol, the largest independent physical trader of energy resources, Rosneft secures guaranteed sales of significant liquefied natural gas volumes," Sechin said in a statement Friday.
Vitol said it becomes the largest strategic buyer of LNG from a terminal planned by Rosneft for the Far East. The Swiss trader said the "landmark development" would ensure its clients in the Asia-Pacific region are supplied with ample volumes of natural gas.
Asian economics experiencing rapid growth are finding themselves starved for energy supplies. China and Japan are among the leading importers of natural gas and Japan's imports of LNG have increased since the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power disaster in 2011.
Vitol said supplies of LNG from the Rosneft facility should start in 2019.

The Truth...
We all know what good customer service is and the dramatic effect that it has on one's perception of a company. I know from experience that it's very difficult to take a step back and look at one's own organisation and ask - 'Do we deliver a great customer service and do we do enough to engage our customers in the social environment that they operate in?'
Having had more than 20 years consulting experience, and 12 years as an internet marketing consultant, I will help you answer those questions and show you how to improve your company's performance.

Performance, Extensibility, Flexibility
Being an avid hiker in the western part of Washington State, you tend to appreciate that the word "flat" here is nonexistent. As such, eventually you get that urge to try something more vertical than a simple trail. After all, it's just a mater of reducing distance with altitude—right? Mt. Rainier was that calling for me.
Mt. Rainier is located in western Washington in the United States and is surrounded by Mt. Rainier National Park. It is 14,411 feet in altitude and consists of 23 active glaciers, multiple crevasses per glacier, exposed rotting volcanic rock, and continuous melt and refreezing conditions during a majority of the year. It possesses the ideal training conditions, especially for expeditions heading for Mt. Everest. This environment houses several world-class climbing groups in nearby cities outside the national park.
My first thought was risk and risk mitigation. I was not going to put myself in danger of death by trying this summit attempt without professional help. I found a professional climber who had summited Mt. Rainier over 200 times at that time and now has summited the mountain 483 times. George was a consummate professional and the ideal choice to outsource risk.
Next, like proper hardware and software, was proper equipment. That was the easiest task, as the group that George was associated with published a list of equipment required for the climb. Again, risk was averted.
Finally, there was training, or performance. The training required for the climb consisted of two parts. The first part was a one-day class on mountain-climbing fundamentals. Discussed and practiced were techniques for climbing with minimum muscle burn, roping up into groups of six, belaying, freefall arrest, recognizing snow bridges, and a variety of other important instructions and techniques. The second part of training was physical endurance and the requirements for the actual climb. Being in excellent shape, I allowed one month in order to harden my body—a macho miscalculation, as it turned out.
The day of the actual climb was to be 18 hours, 18,000 feet, and 18 miles in duration. This was in two parts. The first was to go from Paradise to Camp Muir, or from 5,400 to 10,800 feet of elevation and about 4.5 miles. While 18,000 feet and 18 miles translate to 1,000 feet per mile, it is only an average. In reality, the toughest part of this piece is two miles of 1,660 feet per mile altitude gain. That was unforeseen by me; however, I made it. Beware of averages and what they mean.
After getting to Camp Muir, about 24 of us settled down in a pasteboard cabin that leaked cold wind. While we were expected to sleep from about 19:00 to about 1:00, it was difficult not only because of the body trying to acclimate to the 10,800 foot altitude, but in part because of the 24 individuals making noise and going in and out of the cabin.
We were up at 1:00, ate, dressed, and started up the mountain. It is important to go early in the morning, because melt can cause a lot of dangerous conditions. There were several rest stops along the way, with the 12,300 foot mark on Disappointment Cleaver being the most memorable. Getting there was a tough climb, with long-reaching steps, and you ended up in a winded state. The guides have the ultimate authority in determining the group's safety and make the decision of whether you progress on the climb. While I was still gasping for air, the guide asked me if I was okay. I answered, "Give me a minute, and I will be." Wrong answer! That was enough, as far as the guide was concerned, and I and five others were sent back down to Camp Muir.
On the way back down, I was disappointed. Yet, I was already doing failure analysis and deciding how to prepare for my next climb. It was rather evident to me that my physical training had not prepared me for what I had encountered. What I needed was a plan that would simulate the true conditions. After all, this is what training is all about: to do and redo situations that you will encounter in a real-life scenario. Hmm, sounds like performance- and stress-testing in the IT world.
Needless to say, after my experience, George and I put together a training plan to simulate this experience. It was extended to three months and allowed for conditions that were greater than I had experienced on the mountain. One year later, I was standing on top of Mt. Rainier.
Last year, I started working on a service-oriented architecture (SOA) project. In particular, I was responsible for the request-and-response message flow in order-processing through the data-access layer (DAL), stored procedure (sproc), and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 layers. I wanted a structure that allowed for a centralized point of control for the order process, allowed for multiple monitors and controllers, and simplified the design of the monitor and controller. As I architected the sprocs, it became evident that they were not the traditional type of stored procedures; they were multithreaded, handled state transition and validity, were the center of queuing structures and integrity, and required the proper design strategy for achieving the performance goals of the QOS specifications. Clearly, this routing through the DAL was a critical path for order-processing and had to be solid prior to system integration.
Determining Critical and Subcritical Paths
Just as with the lessons from climbing Mt. Rainier, it was clear that a testing strategy had to be devised that was much more than the traditional unit-test scenario. Not only did testing have to ensure performance requirements, but the metrics also had to be realistic and measure real-world cases.
My PM for the project first brought up the idea of early performance-testing and left me to my own devices to devise a strategy. The first order of business was to look at the quality of service (QOS) document and see what the performance metrics were for the system. As expected, the metrics were defined as some minimum number of orders per unit time. These I termed as business units (BUs) of work. Further examination of the scenarios, controller, and monitor showed the sequence of DAL calls that would be representative of different BUs. The final step in BU analysis was to determine the BUs that represented an order, as defined by scenarios and the QOS document.
Creating an Environment that Replicates Business Units of Work
My instinct to "trust documentation, but verify code" led me to modifying the DAL calls with a trace capability. A memory table recorded entry to the method call, a couple of parameters, and a time stamp. Upon exit of the method, the method name and time stamp were recorded. A test was performed using scenarios representative of different aspects of the order process. Armed with this information, the details of different BUs were solidified.
The SOA design architecture allowed for different components to reside at different URL locations. This manifested itself by showing gaps in time-stamp values, the reason for which was intensified by network activity, "on the wire," and network-latency time. This clearly would have a limiting effect on the maximum rate that the database procedures could be driven. While this might sound like a positive situation, it does not exercise the SQL Server 2005 database server to its maximum capability and does not expose potential "cracks" in reliability.
Exposing Potential Cracks in Service Reliability
To determine the maximum performance of the database sprocs, the network time was eliminated. The performance tests had to do BUs in an exclusive SQL Server 2005 environment that could be accomplished using TSQL scripts that would drive BUs with the concept of "zero wait time" between individual calls in the BU.
Having devised a strategy for testing, the next order of business was to size and acquire a SQL Server hardware test platform. The QOS document and SOA product specifications did not require a Datacenter class-processing platform, and we settled on an available 4xXeon 3.0 GHz box with 8 gigabytes (GB) of memory.
Sizing the Server for Performance- and Stress-Testing
The HD back end of the database required some additional thought, regarding possible performance scenarios that might be encountered. We analyzed the tables that were being accessed, based on the BUs, and tried to account for table-to-HD mapping possibilities, data-transfer rates, and queue depths encountered in preliminary testing. The tables were classified as read-only support tables, write-only tables, and read/write tables. The read-only support tables were small and would end up being memory-resident once accessed. The other two classes of tables would be the focus of any performance-tuning.
Table-access analysis required three volumes for the purpose of minimizing contention and HD queue depths. An available fiber SAN was configured with three separate paths (showing up as volumes) and multiple physical units per path to reduce queue-depth wait times.
In addition, as a part of the selection criterion, the tests had to be run long enough to gather meaningful performance. This translated into a large enough storage volume for the different tables. The final back end consisted of 1 terabyte of SAN storage divided up into three volumes sized as 0.5 terabytes, 0.25 terabytes, and 0.25 terabytes.
What Are We Going to Measure?
Not knowing where our potential bottlenecks would be at the start of the tests, we chose a top-down approach to measuring performance characteristics, which were the overall systems performance-monitoring (perfmon) metrics of processor utilization, memory pressure, and disk-queue depths. As soon as a primary bottleneck was qualified, we drilled down in a category to find the culprit.
In a stress- or performance-testing scenario, the test is configured to push the system. Typically, if the processor utilization is low, something in the other three categories (memory, HD I/O activity, or network activity) is causing a task to wait and not use the processor. It could be excessive memory use, resulting in paging or HD I/O. It could also be direct I/O activity, resulting in large queue depths on a unit. In either case, the queue depth is proportional to the amount of time to complete an I/O that has just entered the queue. The more entries in the queue, the longer it takes the I/O to complete. Finally, network load and speed have an impact on the completion time of a request.
Recall that we had previously eliminated network metrics. Specific SQL Server metrics were chosen along the same lines with the addition of metrics that reflected internal SQL Server points of contention.
As in any performance test, there must be independent and dependent variables. In this case the independent variable was BU/second and the dependent variables were the metrics previously defined. Table 1 denotes the performance object, a selected counter, and the bottleneck threshold.

Independent variable
Before running a series of performance tests, some simple checks must be run, including:
· A final run through the SQL query plan, with a view of the actual execution plan, to ensure that the infamous "missing index" will not reduce performance numbers. (Make sure that the execution plan is turned off for the actual performance run.)
· Run the test script in a one-loop mode, to ensure that no glaring errors occur.
· Check the database installation, to ensure that the tables are located on the correct volumes.
· Ensure that the performance monitor has all of the metrics set up correctly and that a recording mode has been tested.
After the preliminary checks have been made, one or two validation runs must be run. This will eliminate any unforeseen exception conditions.
· What is happening to volume usage, relative to the number of loops?
· Is there enough disk storage available to complete the run?
· Run a minimum of two threads.
· Are any deadlocks occurring?
· Do the scripts complete without error?
· Between any runs, ensure that you delete the database and do a fresh install.
By this point, I had a feeling for the performance of the different test cases. I decided to vary the number of threads executed, while keeping the loop count constant. This served two purposes: to evaluate the performance (BUs/second) and to provide stability feedback (stress-testing). For each run, I extracted the key metrics into a Microsoft Office Excel spreadsheet. A typical run should have the following indicators:
· Number of threads for this run
· Processor utilization
· Average queue depth on C:, D:, E:, and F:
· Lock requests per second
· Lock waits per second
· Active transactions
· Disk bytes per second on C:, D:, E:, and F:
· Run start time
· Run end time
· Calculated elapsed time
· Calculated transactions per second
Lessons Learned and Takeaways
Now that we have gone through the concepts of performance, scalability, and stress-testing, the relationship should be clear. Performance-testing, taken to the extreme, is stress-testing. When we ran multiple threads, we allowed for maximum interaction between individual TSQL statements on the various threads. The greater the number of threads, the greater the probability that each individual TSQL statement simultaneously will execute at the same time that another statement in the same script is executing. Sometimes, a failure will occur immediately; other times, it will take considerable time to surface. The greater the number of threads and the greater the number of processors, the greater the probability of surfacing an existing failure point.
As soon as the SQL Server 2005 server testing was completed, the core performance-testing was expanded to include the DAL, and then the entire BU process path. The early performance-testing that was done prior to integration had a positive effect by providing one fewer category of bugs to resolve, and led to an on-time release candidate. Detecting some of the deadlocks and performance issues found in this exercise shortened the integration-testing. This allowed the integration team to focus on issues that were unrelated to the DAL critical path.
Successfully climbing Mt. Rainier required practicing performance scenarios that would be greater than those encountered in the actual climb. This is exactly what has to be done in performance- and stress-testing software.
Critical-Thinking Questions
· What is happening to the QOS performance specifications, relative to the runs?
· Are the transaction rates increasing?
· Is the curve increasing at a linear rate, or does it have a knee?
· If it has a knee, there must be a bottleneck. Which of the three major categories is starting to get out of bounds? Make only one change, and rerun the series of tests.
· Is there a secondary effect during a long run that is showing any one of the three major perfmon indicators showing a rise? Sometimes, this rise is so slow that you do not notice it unless the run is relatively long.
· What are the performance-critical paths? What are the critical subpaths that can be isolated for performance-testing and stress-testing?
· What are the representative business units of work for each path?
· How can you increase the stress on a critical path?
· How do you validate the testing scenario?
· How does the QOS relate to critical-path performance-testing?
· How do you layer the performance- and stress-testing process?

BU (Business unit)—A term that I use to signify elementary operations to perform a business objective. For example, several sproc calls can be used to execute an order. At a higher level, several DAL calls could represent that same order. At an even higher level, several business-object calls could represent the same process.
Critical path—The chain of dependent events that determines the overall execution time.
DAL (Data-access layer)—The interface layer between the business layer and the database.
Deadlock—When two user processes each have a lock on separate objects and each process is trying to acquire a lock that the other process owns. The SQL Server will break the deadlock by selecting the least critical process, performing transaction back out, and notifying the selected candidate of the deadlock break.
Lock—In the SQL Server, a method of serializing access to a resource, to prevent multiple parallel access thereby destroying its integrity.
Network latency—The amount of time between the request and the receipt of the full message. This time can vary, depending on how busy the network is.
QOS document—Quality-of-service document.
Query plan—The series of steps that SQL Server uses in executing sprocs or TSQL statements.
Queue depth—The number of entries that are in the queue waiting to be serviced.
SOA (Service-oriented architecture)—An architecture that uses a collection of services that are called to perform a business unit of work.
Terabyte—A unit of measure equal to 1,099,511,627,776 bytes, or 1,024 gigabytes.
Volume—Logical representation of storage the shows up as D: (for example). In SAN architecture, a volume can consist of one or more physical HD units. These units can be used to spread the I/O activity of a request, thereby lowering the average queue depth.

End live exports. No cruel cosmetics. Free range eggs.
There is overwhelming public demand for humane and accountable treatment of animals. Yet governments continue to sanction cruelty by refusing to change woefully inadequate minimum animal welfare standards and make industry transparent and accountable.
The Greens are the only federal parliamentary party to have a specific portfolio responsibility for animal welfare. We are deeply committed to improving the welfare and wellbeing of animals, and will continue working with Australia's animal welfare and rights organisations to achieve this.
Our Plan
Animal welfare in Australia relies on a patchwork of state/territory legislation and industry Codes of Practice and Animal Welfare Standards and Guidelines that institutionalise cruel industry practices.
Under the constitution, state governments have primary responsibility to prepare and enforce animal welfare laws, policies and programs. Local government oversees the responsible ownership of domestic animals.
Federal oversight of animal welfare occurs when animals are imported or exported, such as the live animal export trade or the kangaroo meat and skin trade.
The Greens are working to:
- Establish an Independent Office of Animal Welfare (IOAW)
- End the horrific live export trade by increasing processing in Australia to support local producers and create local jobs
- Ban cruel cosmetics
- Establish an accurate national labelling system of products that identifies cruelty-free, free-range, organic, and free from content derived from habitat destruction.
- Upgrade standards for farming practices for all agricultural animals which reflect commonly understood definitions of free-range and other ethical treatment of animals.
Independent Office of Animal Welfare (IOAW)
With continuing cruelty endured by animals in factory farms and within the live export chain, and the suffering of animals across Australia under practices that confirm and excuse animal cruelty, the need for a national independent office of animal welfare is clear.
The Greens' Voice for Animals (Independent Office of Animal Welfare) Bill was reintroduced into the parliament to establish an Independent Office of Animal Welfare (IOAW) to promote and oversee animal welfare.
The office will be independent of government and the Department of Agriculture to ensure conflicts of interest that compromise animal welfare over profit-making are removed. It will be guided by the advice of an Animal Welfare Advisory Committee including experts in animal welfare, consumer groups, scientists and ethicists. The IOAW will also work to harmonise and improve animal welfare laws across the country.

Shopping Buzz: White shirts and 'Revenge' jewelry
Updated 10:06 am, Friday, January 18, 2013
Carolina Herrera is known for wearing classic white shirts. Now, the designer has created the CH Carolina Herrera White Shirt Collection, a capsule line of eight modern approaches to the perfect white shirt.
Herrera has included some variation of the white shirt in her collections since she began in 1981, updating them every season.
"They have always been part of my life. They make me feel secure. When I don't know what to wear, I choose a white shirt. I love them and find them fascinating; and they can be worn in many different ways. You can wear them with or without jewelry, with jeans or with a long or short skirt. It can be worn for special occasions or even for work," said the designer.
Prices for the White Shirt Collection range from $220 to $415, with the long-sleeve shirt with double cuff and collar at $280 (in photo); available at CH Carolina Herrera in the Galleria and at carolinaherrera.com.
Inspired by ABC's hit TV show "Revenge," Helzberg Diamonds has created a new jewelry collection in time for Valentine's Day.
With Helzberg's INFINITY X INFINITY pieces, you can show your affection by taking a cue from the show's lead character Emily Thorne and her father's mantra, "I love you infinity times infinity."
The line, created by jewelry designer Udi Behr, features 21 pieces that play up a "Revenge" quality. Prices are $49.99 to $999.99 at helzberg.com/infinity and in Helzberg stores.

New Clingan bid rejected
By Mark Buckingham
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Chesterfield have been knocked back in a fresh bid to sign Sammy Clingan.Chesterfield have been knocked back in a fresh bid to sign Wolves midfielder Sammy Clingan.
The 21-year-old spent three months on loan at Saltergate last season and impressed Spireites boss Roy McFarland in making 15 appearances.
McFarland is desperate to sign Clingan on a permanent basis and had a £50,000 offer rejected by Wolves last week.
The League One outfit have returned with another improved offer for the youngster but their bid has again been dismissed.
"I am very disappointed that our improved offer has been turned down but we can't hang about and are now looking at alternatives," McFarland told the club's official website.
Clingan has yet to make his first-team debut for Wolves and it is unclear if he figures in Glenn Hoddle's plans for the new season.
Doncaster Rovers also had a bid for Clingan rejected last week, with Wolves feeling their valuation has yet to be met.

By many measures Kevin Martin's rink is the best curling team in the world.
During Brockville's AMJ Campbell Shorty Jenkins Classic last weekend, the top moneymaker, top Canadian Team Ranking System point-getter and top Tour Order of Merit skip talked about curling.
- On his drive: "It's not easy to travel but the competition I love. When you're on the ice competing that's fun and when it becomes not fun I won't do it any more. It's been 20 years now."
- On competition: "We just don't go to any cashspiel anymore. You want to play against (Russ) Howard, you want to play (Wayne) Middaugh."
- On trying to be elite: "It's probably a lot like the PGA with the young guys. It's hard. It should be hard. I don't think it should be easy. It's just not true in curling but in every sport. You have to work hard at your game. I don't think it's a negative. I think it's a positive."
- On new blood: "There's going to be lots of room for the young guys. There are lots of guys older then there's myself and Middaugh in their 40s. There's a void in curling. Boy, it's going to be a young, healthy sport soon."
- On up and comers: "The young guys up and coming are brilliant. Reid Carruthers, Morris and that group, Blake McDonald, the (Jamie) Koe team, (Brad) Gushue although I don't know if he's (young enough to be) an up and comer. There are a group of probably 10 or 12 who are really good coming up."
- On changes in the CCA: "Any time there's change it's generally positive. They needed some fresh thinking I think -- a little bit of life put in there. They'll be a lot stronger. Certainly there's no negative there."
- On curling's future: "The only thing that worries me is the amount of growth. You can grow so fast that you can't control (it) ... 2010 is absolutely going to send curling skyward and you have to know how to control it."
Howard beat Martin 7-4 in the semi-final at the Shorty and beat Gushue 6-4 for the $9,000 win. Peter Corner also made the semi. Middaugh, Carruthers, Nick Rizzo and Robert Desjardins also qualified.
On the women's side, U.S. skip Debbie McCormick beat Quebec's Eve Belisle 7-4. Thurso's Chantal Osborne reached the semis.
The irony was bigger than the winning margin. Howard Rajala with Chris Fulton, Jeff Henderson and Craig Cordiner defeated Bryan Cochrane 4-3 in the final of the RCMP Fall Open on Sunday.
Rajala's vice and second played for Cochrane last season. His third, Rich Moffatt, skipped Rajala and Fulton to the Brier in 1999. Rajala won $3,000, Cochrane $2,000. Other qualifiers were semi-finalists Dwayne Fowler and Mike Stachon ($1,500 each) and quarter-finalists ($1,000 each) Ted Butler, Greg Richardson, Serge Reid and J.P. Lachance.
Shane Latimer's team helped Ottawa-area rinks dominate the Derek Whitehill Memorial Junior Cashspiel in Peterborough. Latimer won the men's event and Rachel Homan beat Ottawa's Lynn Kreviazuk on the women's side, with the winners each taking home $1,700. Christian Tolusso and Neil Sinclair also qualified.
The Orphan Clinic for bantams and juniors yet without a team is on Sunday from 9-1 p.m. at Carleton Heights.

Architectural and schematic drawings for the planned new science and math facility were approved by the Tusculum College Board of Trustees as they held their fall meeting in conjunction with Homecoming 2013.
"With approval from the Board of Trustees on the drawings and the public celebration and groundbreaking in the afternoon, Friday was an exciting day for celebrating the Ronald H. and Verna June Meen Center for Science and Math," said President Nancy B. Moody.
Architect John Fisher presented the updated plans that include a four-story structure of approximately 88,000 square feet. Interiors include wings for biology, chemistry, mathematics, computer science and environmental science. There will also be lab space and research areas for both faculty and students.
The ground floor features the environmental science wing with a loading dock, as well as larger general classroom spaces and classrooms equipped for distance learning programs. A large lecture hall will also be included on the ground floor.
In other action, an updated Strategic Plan was presented and approved. The board also gave final approval to a $30.7 million budget for 2013-14 and approved tuition and room and board rates for the 2014-15 academic year. The new rates reflect a 1.9 percent increase in tuition over the previous year, well below the national average, according to Steve Gehret, vice president and chief financial officer.
"With the updated strategic plan and the approved final budget, the Board of Trustees went a long way in securing the vision for the future of Tusculum College. As we watch the development of new Ronald H. and Verna June Meen Center for Science and Math and marvel at the completed residence halls, we also have a firm plan and foundation for the future," said Dr. Ken Bowman, chair of the Board of Trustees and 1970 graduate of Tusculum College.
Dr. Blair Henley, vice president for Information Systems and chief technology officer, reported that the Information Systems department is in the final stages of implementing campus wide wireless access. Implementation will continue throughout October.
Henley also reported that fall dual enrollment courses, a new program with Tusculum College and regional high schools offering courses to those students for dual high school and college credit, is showing good numbers. There are currently 30 students enrolled in classes, including composition, U.S. history, probability and statistics, psychology and world literature.
Athletic Director and Head Football Coach Frankie DeBusk reported that the college will be announcing the hiring of Tusculum College's first coach of Women's Lacrosse in the near future. Recruiting will occur in the next year, with the first games scheduled for spring 2015.
Officers for the 2014-15 year were elected for the board. Officers elected included all returning officers, Chair, Bowman; Vice Chair, Edward J. Kormondy; Treasurer, Dwight Ferguson, and Secretary, Mark R. Williams.
Bowman, who currently resides in Apollo, Pa., has been a member of the Board since 1998 and chair since 2006.
Kormondy, a member of Tusculum's Class of 1950, is chancellor emeritus of the University of Hawaii-Hilo in West Oahu and currently lives in Los Angeles, Calif. He has been a member of the Board of Trustees since 1998. Ferguson joined the board in 2009. He is retired from Nuclear Fuel Services, Inc., located in Erwin, where he served as president and chief executive officer from March 1992 until January 2009. Williams, of Greeneville, joined the Board in 2001. He is a broker with Century 21 Legacy.
Also re-elected for an additional term as board member were Bowman, Dr. Larry Brotherton, Dr. Robert S. Cowles, III, Dr. Dan Donaldson, Charlotte Gray, Kormondy, Rev. Lester Lattany and Williams.
The next meeting of the Tusculum College Board of Trustees is February 7-8, 2014.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Institutes For Journalism & Natural Resources, Missoula, MT, USA
The great thing about IJNR is learning about emerging environmental issues on the ground. You're hearing from the experts, while you're also in the field. It's like going to a cool seminar, but you're not in a sterile classroom or conference center. You're actually outdoors and learning.
I remember one night in southern Georgia helping with a controlled burn while on an IJNR fellowship. I'd often spoken with experts about how fire can help forests, but seeing how controlled burns are conducted was eye opening. It was interesting to learn the preparations that go into it, then how the burns are managed. We later discussed what the burning would do for the landscape. It gave me much greater insight and perspective on an issue I only knew in the abstract before.
Another great experience was simpler. Our group was taken to a mixed forest in South Carolina. In the forest, we heard birds, squirrels and other sounds of wildlife that lived in the woods. We then were taken to a pine plantation. The thing I remember most is how eerily quiet it was in the pine plantation, since it lacked a diversity of tree species. No birds or animals making sounds. The only real sound was the spring wind blowing in the pines.

Last weeks 4-2 season opening loss to the Vancouver Whitecaps was as a reminder how far Toronto FC has to go to become competitive.
Toronto FC will have to be a whole lot better in various aspects of the game in its home opener Saturday to avoid dropping points in consecutive weeks to expansion competition.
The Portland Timbers roll into town, featuring Toronto FC killer striker Kenny Cooper. The talisman marked his return to Major League Soccer last week with a goal, and has scored six goals in his past four games against TFC.
BMO Field at times over the years has been a fortress for Toronto FC; a beacon of stability for a club with very little. Memorable wins last season against the MLS champion Colorado Rapids and Mexican powerhouse Cruz Azul in the CONCACAF Champions League speaks to the difficulty of playing in Toronto.
The usual warmth inside the friendly confines will be replaced by cold weather with a projected high of -1C on Saturday, and an anxious crowd eager to see early results of head coach Aron Winters overhaul, live and in-person.
Nothing short of a Toronto FC victory will be seen as progress to most. To avoid back-to-back embarrassments, Toronto FC will have to do five basic things to get a result Week 2.
Positive possession vs. Possession
Toronto FC dominated possession in Vancouver to a clip of 65%. The statistic is flattering, but hardly tells the story. Torontos possession was largely negative, consisting of the defensive line passing it back and forth, amongst each another. And when the ball advanced, there werent enough options in Red to attack with design. Vancouver sat back comfortably, letting Toronto meander as it pleased. Possession statistics are only significant when the majority of possession is coming from the midfield in attacking positions. The midfield needs to be better at finding space and holding up the ball. And the defenders need to be far better in distribution. Too many wayward passes killed the flow and meant attacks were played from passive positions.
Adrian Cann needs to be moved back into the middle
The punishment/experiment playing Cann at left-back needs to stop. The Whitecaps carved up Toronto FCs left side, and Cann was left stranded. It wasnt all Canns fault, the support coming from the central defence was poorly timed and not good enough. Without Cann in the middle last week, Nana Attakora was lost from a positional perspective. Cann is a centre-back, period. His partnership with Attakora is one not to be messed with, at this point. Cann doesnt have the speed to deputize the wing, but has the ball control and ability to read the game to be an asset in the middle.
Toronto FC wingers need proper positioning
While Maicon Santos did well tracking back as a targetman getting involved last week, the same cannot be said of the wing players. Javier Martina and Nick Soolsma each had moments with the ball at their feet, looking like real threats. But opening up into space and properly supporting the midfield was largely absent. Soolsma looks awkward moving off the ball, and its hard to see him sticking at the right-wing position. Jacob Peterson was efficient in the role in pre-season. Martina looks like he can be a contributor, but where his best position may be is up for debate. In a 4-3-3, the wide positions need to keep opposing wing-backs honest, stretching the field and creating space. Young Nicholas Lindsay did a proper job in the role at the end of last season, getting the ball in space and attacking defenders. Not playing the position properly means a breakdown in system.
Get Dwayne De Rosario the ball in advantageous positions
The script reads much the same as previous seasons: Toronto FCs best players not getting the ball at their feet or in proper positions. De Rosario was left frustrated and its well warranted. If the system is predicated on movement, and one of De Rosarios strengths is finding room in tight spaces, then he needs to get the ball. He creates and can finish. De Rosarios goal came from superior movement and a well-timed run when he received distribution. So the other two midfielders need to spread out and demand the ball from the back four in possession. That way De Rosario can play off the movement and become more influential.
More effort, more push-back
The entire work-rate and effort last Saturday left a lot to be desired. There is no excuse for not hustling back and competing. Toronto defenders inexcusably left goalkeeper Stefan Frei for dead multiple times during the match, including a two-on-none break on Eric Hasslis goal in the 72nd minute. Talent-wise, Toronto FC isnt good enough to take stretches of the match off. It will have to out-work and out-think opponents. It was out done in both categories against Vancouver. That must be remedied.
Toronto FC added a new player to their roster Thursday, acquiring Serbian International Alen Stevanovic on loan from Italian Serie B side Torino FC. The 20-year-old midfielder is co-owned by Torino and Internazionale Milan.

It was a pleasant May in Seattle. I did not feel sodden as I did last spring and we were blessed with many glorious days as a prelude to the northern summer. On a pleasant Saturday we enjoyed apéritifs at Tavern Law and sauntered down to Momiji (紅葉) for dinner with a group of Australian expats and tourists.
The sister restaurant of Umi Sake House in Belltown, Momiji is Japanese for maple. Painted burgundy, the front bar featured a curious white latticed lampshade and was saturated in natural light.
With the exception of the wide street frontage, the layout of Momiji is the same as Umi's. A corridor opened to a spacious dining room. The counter had a prime view of the sushi chefs deftly slicing sashimi and shaping nigiri.
At the centre was a serene Japanese garden.
We perused the comprehensive menu as I sipped a summery cocktail, The Getaway. In a tall glass was Hendrick's Gin, Pimm's and soda topped with a lychee.
We ordered an array of dishes among the seven of us. First was ahi pokē. Diced ahi tuna and cucumber were tossed with onion slivers, shichimi (Japanese seasoning), soy sauce and sesame seeds. The first time I ate pokē was at a Flying Fish cooking class. A Hawaiian salad, it had a luscious contrast of textures.
A plate of prawn and vegetable tempura was coated in a lumpy batter and pleasingly crunchy.
Poached beets, and a mound of arugula and shiso were drizzled with lemon vinaigrette.
Portions of grilled king crab was paired with ponzu dipping sauce and mixed greens. A generous serving, the crustacean was charred and meaty.
Soft shell crabs were pan fried to golden brown. The spindly morsels were sweet and succulent.
Wrinkled and charred, the half dozen prawn and scallop gyoza were juicy parcels of seafood encased in a thin wrapper.
Buckwheat noodles were stir-fried with cubes of tofu and an assortment of vegetables. Garnished with green onions, pickles and nori, the triangular bowl of yakisoba was a symphony of flavours.
With casual ambience and quality ingredients, Momiji is a delicious addition to 12th Avenue in Capitol Hill.

I succumbed to a Groupon deal a couple of months ago. I paid twenty five dollars for fifty dollars worth of food and beverages at Seastar Restaurant and Raw Bar. We were at the Kangaroo and Kiwi Pub in the early hours of Sunday morning to cheer on the Wallabies in the Rugby World Cup. Alas we were disappointed with the result and woke up lethargic. Within walking distance, the voucher was perfect for a lazy dinner.
As with many restaurants in Seattle, Seastar is dimly lit. The restaurant was full so we sat in the bar. A spacious area with individual tables, a communal bench and counter seating, it was a busy evening being the first day of the autumn Seattle Restaurant Week. A single glassybaby was our source of light to read the menu.
The menu was a combination of hot and cold seafood. We selected a soup, a sushi roll and the raw bar sampler to share. The large bowl of Dungeness crab and corn bisque was warming. Absent of corn kernels, the bisque had chunks of Dungeness crab and was drizzled with a Madeira reduction and fresh chives. The Port added a depth of flavour to the bisque.
We misread the menu and expected a plate of tempura but it was futomaki tempura! Coated in tempura batter, the sushi roll had cucumber, carrot, bell pepper, asparagus, green onion and daikon pickle. It was an odd sensation to eat warm sushi but the vegetables were pleasingly crunchy.
The three tiered raw bar sampler was presented with a flourish. On the bottom was scallop ceviche with mango-kiwi relish, lemon, lime and cilantro. Unripe fruits and acidic juices masked the sweetness of the scallops.
In the middle was a California roll of Dungeness crab, avocado and cucumber. These bite size morsels had plenty of fresh crab.
And on the top was ahi pokē. Cubes of tuna were marinated in soy, chilli, Maui onions and sesame seeds. Wafer thin taro crisps were the utensil topped with strands of daikon radish and green onions.
On a glass tile, the aloha roll was bursting with ahi, hamachi, salmon, avocado, cucumber and chilli. This sushi roll lacked the finesse of Japanese cuisine but had an abundance of glistening sashimi.
Service was mostly absent but it was value for money!

I grew up eating seafood – steamed whole fish, prawn dumplings, crab stir-fried with ginger and spring onions, lobster with egg noodles, squid balls in hot pots. But we rarely cook seafood at home, except for baked or barbecued salmon. I worry about how to prepare seafood for cooking, I'm concerned that I'll overcook it and ruin the delicate flesh. When I read that Whole Foods Westlake was having a one day sale of scallops a couple of Fridays ago, I added the accompanying scallops three ways happy hour to my calendar. For five dollars, it was good value to 'taste a trio of scallop preparations'.
I arrived early and there were only a handful of people in the dining area. The counter was brightened by a colourful posy of flowers. I sat and watched Chef Hayden cook the display dish, he expertly answered questions while chopping and plating.
I miss cooking with gas immensely. I was transfixed by the portable induction stove, with three plump scallops sizzling. Convenient and lightweight, this would be a welcome addition to my kitchen!
The dining area is in a front corner of the store. With floor to ceiling windows, it is a light and airy space. On a jade green plate were a generous serving of scallops, clockwise from top: scallop and Oregon Bay shrimp sunomono with cucumber and radish; seared scallops with ginger miso butter and sweet broiled eggplant; and spicy scallop pokē with seaweed, red chilli, shallots, sesame and macadamia nuts.
Sunomono, a Japanese style salad with vinaigrette, was a simple dish that highlighted the natural sweetness of the scallops. Chunks of poached scallops paired well with the crunchy vegetables and a slightly tangy dressing.
Next I tried the pokē, a Hawaiian tartare. This sample was punchy and nutty, overwhelming the flavours of the scallop. And the scallop appeared cooked.
My favourite was the seared scallop. Three charred and juicy molluscs were on a bed of velvety eggplant. Sweet and smoky, these were simple and fresh ingredients cooked exquisitely with love.

Karen and Jim are absolutely amazing people that made being away from home for a week stay very pleasant. Their hospitality outweighs any establishment I have ever stayed at. The cabins are very clean with everything you could possibly need right there. Fresh duck eggs, groceries and everything else needed made our trip that much more relaxing. Karen and Jim are great people to talk to about anything at all, and so very welcoming! I wanted to get a certain present for one of my children. This present was extremely special and had a lot of meaning behind it. Karen and Jim searched high and low for someone who could make it and within two days, I had it. This establishment and the couple who runs it is a very special place run by two very special people. My family and I will be back very soon and these two people as well as the lodge will have a special place in my father and my hearts forever. If you need a great place to stay in Alaska, this is it.

Daniels lodge is a great, relaxing place. Although we did not have the opportunity to take advantage of the lake, it was absolutely beautiful! The cabin was very clean, but did have a few things needing work, like the washer and some window repair. However, the owner said we could do wash at the main cabin (right next door) if needed. Owner very nice, waited up for us, since we got in late, and was very helpful. She even stocked our refrigerator with food, including reindeer sausage! Nice touch! I would definitely recommend this place and I would love to go back!
