Channels receive transactions through a special type of queue, known as a
parallel queue. Tungsten offers two implementations of parallel queues,
which vary in their performance as well as the requirements they may place
on hosts that operate parallel apply. You choose the type of queue to
enable using the
--svc-parallelization-type option.
Do not change the parallel queue type without setting the replicator offline cleanly. See the procedure later in this page for more information.
Disk Parallel Queue
disk option)
A disk parallel queue uses a set of independent threads to read from the Transaction History Log and feed short in-memory queues used by channels. Disk queues have the advantage that they minimize memory required by Java. They also allow channels to operate some distance apart, which improves throughput. For instance, one channel may apply a transaction that committed 2 minutes before the transaction another channel is applying. This separation keeps a single slow transaction from blocking all channels.
Disk queues minimize memory consumption of the Java VM but to function
efficiently they do require pages from the Operating System page cache.
This is because the channels each independently read from the Transaction
History Log. As long as the channels are close together the storage pages
tend to be present in the Operating System page cache for all threads but
the first, resulting in very fast reads. If channels become widely
separated, for example due to a high
maxOfflineInterval value, or the host has
insufficient free memory, disk queues may operate slowly or impact other
processes that require memory.
Memory Parallel Queue
memory option)
A memory parallel queue uses a set of in-memory queues to hold transactions. One stage reads from the Transaction History Log and distributes transactions across the queues. The channels each read from one of the queues. In-memory queues have the advantage that they do not need extra threads to operate, hence reduce the amount of CPU processing required by the replicator.
When you use in-memory queues you must set the maxSize property on the queue to a relatively large value. This value sets the total number of transaction fragments that may be in the parallel queue at any given time. If the queue hits this value, it does not accept further transaction fragments until existing fragments are processed. For best performance it is often necessary to use a relatively large number, for example 10,000 or greater.
The following example shows how to set the maxSize property after installation. This value can be changed at any time and does not require the replicator to go offline cleanly:
tpm update alpha\ --property=replicator.store.parallel-queue.maxSize=10000
You may need to increase the Java VM heap size when you increase the
parallel queue maximum size. Use the
--java-mem-size option on the
tpm command for this purpose or edit the Replicator
wrapper.conf file directly.
Memory queues are not recommended for production use at this time. Use disk queues.

YONKERS, N.Y. -- The Yonkers Fire Department quickly responded Sunday morning after a report of a woman going into labor.
Engine 306 and Empress Ambulance Services assisted with the delivery of a healthy baby girl just after 9:30 a.m.
"They then cared for the mother and the newborn and assisted in patient packaging until the mother and baby were transported to the hospital," said Thomas F. Fitzpatrick Jr. of the Yonkers Fire Department.
More information on the special delivery will be released later Sunday afternoon.

Bumbe is 10! As always we have a celebration with cake and a birthday hat! For his 10th birthday, I made him a two-tier cat cake out of Fancy Feast and Friskies with Buddy Biscuits treats trimming. Bumbe only had eyes on his cat cake, but learned over the years to be patient until after the photo shoot to dig in. And like every year, his guest, Yun Yun managed to sneak the first bite.
This year, I put Yip in charge of the birthday cake for us humans. He told me the story in which he asked the baker to "be creative" and the baker said they don't do that. He then made a drawing and asked the baker to replicate it. As he brought the cake home, he said that the cake did not look good. When I opened the box, all I see a big pink strawberry cream cake with two cute silly paw prints! It made me feel so happy!

SACRAMENTO — The state Legislature on Sunday night approved a record $108 billion budget that has some new spending aimed at helping California's most vulnerable but also reflects Gov. Jerry Brown's insistence on fiscal prudence.
The main budget bill cleared the Assembly 55-24 and passed the Senate 25-11, with only one Republican in the Democratic-controlled Legislature voting in favor of it. Lawmakers worked on Father's Day because they had to meet a constitutional deadline to send a balanced budget to the governor — or risk not getting paid.
The spending blueprint for the fiscal year that starts July 1 is $7.2 billion larger than last year's general fund budget. It includes $10.6 billion to pay down old debts, $1.6 billion for a "rainy day fund" to ease the pain of future recessions and a long-sought plan to fully fund the teachers' pension system.
Key deals struck in the final days of budget negotiations will finance preschool for all low-income 4-year-olds and overtime pay for in-home aides who care for the elderly and disabled. And spending on public schools is set to rise $5.6 billion — a 10 percent increase over last year.
But many Democrats who voted for the plan said it was too skimpy considering that the state is flush with cash.
"The governor is the one with the bully pulpit. He sets the tone," said Sen. Loni Hancock, D-Berkeley. "In this case, he wasn't willing to back the same level of reinvestment the Legislature sought. In the future, I hope we do more."
Democrats and Republicans both complained when they learned late last week that the budget would not include an increase in Medi-Cal providers' reimbursement rates, which were lowered during the economic downturn and haven't risen since.
The Brown administration said the state simply couldn't afford it this year.
California's rates are now among the lowest in the country, making it difficult if not impossible for some doctors to accept low-income patients or keep clinic doors open. Failing to boost rates puts millions of Californians at risk of not having access to care when they need it, lawmakers said.
"It hit me hard," Sen. Jim Beall, D-San Jose, said of the Legislature's failure to strike a Medi-Cal deal. "We signed up a huge number of people through the Affordable Care Act, and now they may have to wait in long lines to see a doctor. No one wants to see that."
Republican lawmakers applauded the budget's commitment to saving and paying down old debts. But Senate Republican Leader Bob Huff said some compromises, including a long-term funding plan for California's controversial bullet train, were nothing more than "back-door deals drafted by Democrats, for Democrats."
"A Republican budget … would not continue to throw billions of dollars into the illegal high-speed rail scheme that could cost $100 billion," said Huff, R-Diamond Bar. "It's over budget, embarrassingly behind schedule, and the public doesn't support it."
Republican Sen. Anthony Cannella of Ceres was the only Republican to vote for the budget, which requires a simple majority vote.
After months of negotiations, Brown and Democratic leaders nailed down a plan for spending the cap-and-trade proceeds collected annually from the state's worst polluters in the fight against greenhouse gases and climate change. It allocates a third of the fees — which will total about $850 million next fiscal year — to construction of the bullet train. Democrats in the Legislature wanted to set aside half as much.
They agreed to use a quarter of the money for high-speed rail and a third for construction of affordable housing near "green" transit, such as light rail.
Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, applauded the budget agreement on cap-and-trade but conceded that the spending plan does not go far enough to reinvest in California's most vulnerable populations, including the 6 million people living here in poverty.
"We are not there yet, but we are well on our way, and things are dramatically different and better than they were several years ago," Steinberg said. "The difference is night versus day. A hail storm versus bright sunshine. It is constant dread versus real hope for the future."

I had my son's Christening on the weekend and it was great. I came up with an idea earlier this year and as I sit here today I can't believe I actually pulled it off and it was a huge success. Christenings are important to our family as we were all raised as Catholics. I decided to put together a projector show with all the families Christening photos! So I hired a projector from a local company - Craig Williams Promotions.
It was only $200 to hire but it was priceless for what it provided. I collected the photos from my familyand put together a presentation. It was so easy to use and the photos came out so bright and clear. Remember, some of them were from the 70's hee he! It was so easy and believe me I'm no expert but the staff at Projector Hire Melbourne were great. They set it up for me so I was ready to go and provided a really simple User Guide. The photos came out beautifully and my family loved it. The projector was easy to use and it just made my son's Christening extra special. My family were so happy and are all now asking me to plan their parties and put together presentations for them.

morality cant be legislated. since alot of people have alot of differnt ideas about what is and isnt morally right or wrong. ( once again besides legal matters like killing stealing raping etc.) if the intent of the constitution was to legislate morality they would have had a morality defining amendment saying this is moral this isnt.
We do that all the time: they're called laws. Laws that say rape is immoral. Laws that say murder is immoral.

Heath Ceramics Los Angeles
I won't give it all away since a post will be going up later today on AT, but man, the Heath showroom on Beverly is beautiful, and I didn't even see it finished. It's full of skylights that float such perfectly even lighting over the pieces that they look like they're studio lit. It doesn't hurt that Heath Ceramics are incredible.
It's also worth noting that they'll be selling a couple of other brands at the store including Weck Canning jars. I hadn't seen them before and was so blown away I almost forgot that I was there for Heath. I am also, admittedly, getting really into canning and pickling, so this was perfect timing.
The grand opening of the showroom is this weekend (all weekend) so make a point of stopping by. Adam Silverman will be there along with Heath's owners Catherine Bailey and Robin Petravic.
And thanks to Julie of LAist for getting me in!

FAIRFAX, Va. -- Jonathan Arledge scored a career-high 23 points to lead George Mason past Western Michigan 62-52 on Wednesday night in the semifinals of the College Basketball Invitational.
The Patriots (21-14) will face the winner of the other semifinal played later Wednesday between Wright State and Santa Clara in a best-of-three championship series beginning on Monday.
David Brown had 13 points and Shayne Whittington added 12 for Western Michigan (22-13), which committed 23 turnovers and shot just 35 percent from the field.
"It wasn't the prettiest effort, but I'm happy that we were able to grind out a win," George Mason coach Paul Hewitt said. "For the first time in this event, we looked dead-legged out there. That can happen this time of the year. But again, just happy to get our 21st win of the season."
George Mason used an 18-0 run to take a 26-17 lead with 3:37 remaining in the first half. The Broncos went 9:01 without scoring, missing all seven field-goal attempts and committing eight turnovers during the stretch.
However, George Mason's own shooting woes allowed Western Michigan to hang around in the second half and the Broncos pulled to 47-40 on a dunk by Whittington with 5:27 remaining.
The Patriots scored the next seven points to increase the lead to 14 with about 4 minutes to go, and put the game away on a breakaway dunk by Arledge with 36 seconds remaining.
George Mason shot just 37 percent from the field and missed 14 of its 16 3-point attempts.
Arledge, who shot 7-for-11 from the field and hit all eight of his foul shots, has scored in double-figures in 10 of his last 15 games after doing so just once in George Mason's first 20 games.
"He's playing really well," Hewitt said. "He knows what I'm going to say when I look at the stat sheet. I know the points are there, but there's still more. But he's playing very, very well right now."

May is National Stroke Awareness Month
Dana B.
Friday, June 8, 2012
By: Dana Brown
December, 2009... the day that set a few changes in my life in motion.
DAY 1-I woke up on a nice Saturday morning about 6:30 to get ready and going before my kids were up. I went to get into the shower when suddenly I had this painfully loud ringing in my ears. I remember literally cupping my hands over my ears to quiet the sound. My eyes were tightly squished shut and when I opened them I could tell there was something seriously wrong with me. I had double vision. Thinking just like most moms I don't have time to not feel well we have a soccer game to go to. This was not just any soccer game it was Maddie's last soccer game of her first season ever. She was getting a trophy that day! So I hopped into the shower ever so carefully with my eyes closed and washed up for the day. I do remember that I skipped shaving my legs...good call I think! I remember getting out of the shower to dry off and I wiped the steam off of the mirror to see just what the heck was happening to my eyes. Of course I tried in vain. Double vision you can't focus on a darn thing no matter how close to the mirror you get. Realizing that this was something more than just a passing migraine I went to wake my boys. I remember going to them with my eyes closed and saying to them,"Mom doesn't want to scare you, but I really need you to sit up and look at my eyes. I think there is something wrong with them." One of my boys hopped up and grabbed my phone to video my eyes to try and show me what was happening. Of course I could not see it. I remember Joe'l telling me,"Mom I think you should go lay down for a while." I took his advice and laid down. I had one of the boys call Maddie's dad to let him know that we were not going to make her game. He could come get her, but I was sick and was not going to make the game. She did not end up making her game that day.:(
A few hours passed and it was about time for Maddie to go to a movie with my ex-fiance and his daughter. It was her birthday and she wanted Maddie to go to celebrate. He came to pick Maddie up and he took one look at me and said,"wow what is going on with you?" The boys kind of filled him in. I tried my best, but by then my left side of my face was drooping and my speech was all slurred and funny. I had weakness on my entire left side of my body. I told my ex-fiance that I just need to rest and that it would be better. He took the girls to the movie. When he returned things were not getting better they were worse. He told me he was taking me to urgent care. I did not argue. We got to urgent care and the doctors told me I need to go directly to the ER. Don't stop go straight there. I heard him mention stroke. I started to cry. Those words terrified me (I used to take care of patients who had been stricken by strokes...I knew what a stroke meant). I was feeling confused as it was but stroke seriously?We went to Banner Desert hospital and I remember barely being able to walk with Alex and my ex-fiance's assistance. Some medics saw us struggling across the parking lot and brought me a wheel chair. So, we sat there and I had CT scan showed no abnormalities. They doped me up with meds and sent me home saying that I had a migraine. Which shocked me. I had been plagued with migraines since I started the Yaz and the Yasmine birth control and this was nothing like any of those!
DAY 2-I slept a lot. Don't remember much other than still had weakness and the vision was still not good. Slept for the rest of the day.
DAY 3-I woke up in the am and called my OBGYN and told them what happened and they wanted to see me right away. I went in and they said stop taking your birth control and take some aspirin immediately. You have had a stroke. I was advised to see my regular dr. He said that he thought I just had a bad migraine too. Since I had been on the Yaz and Yasmine I was plagued with migraines. So, I went home feeling defeated. I slept and slept some more.
Day 4-Frustrated thinking ok fine if it is just a migraine then you pull yourself up by the bootstraps and just get on with life. The paralysis was dissipating but my vision still was crazy weird. I am such a stubborn person (not much keeps me down) so I decided that it was going to get better and I had a friend drive me to work. I fumbled literally through my day falling over and falling into everything. Spent most of my time in my back office.
DAY 5- I had a friend drive me to work again for second day of torture. I was there for only about an hour and I could not stand it anymore. I know there is something wrong with me! This is not right. One of my clients was kind enough to drop me at the ER Banner Gateway. Within 30 min I had my first of many MRIs and CT scans. Within an hour I was admitted. They were concerned that I had a tumor. I spent the next four days in the hospital. It was so crazy to hear a Dr talking about MS, Cancer/tumors. They were concerned because my vision was still so affected and I still had so much weakness and numbness in my leg and arm. I sat there by myself listening to all the doctors telling me or course not absorbing 3/4 of it. I heard cancer, I heard MS, and I heard tumors.. I am sure that I had the deer in the headlights look going on. It was so scary. They said that I needed to have a spinal tap. That was seriously no fun. They struggled to get spinal fluid and could not after several painful attempts could not manage to get it. Finally the nurse said enough she can't take anymore and they sent me down to x-ray to have them do it. That was so, so painful. Never would I wish that on anyone.
The results from all the testing started to come in and my neurologist came in to tell me that I had a couple of lesions on my brain. Lesions? I had no idea what that meant and then he explained to me that it was damaged tissue in my brain caused by blood clots...a stroke. He drew me a nice picture to explain where the affected areas were. No MS, no cancer- I was somewhat relieved that it was not cancer and certainly not MS. I wondered why this was happening to me? I was only 35. I just ran 3 miles the night before. Frustrated...my life did not allow time for being sick! Seriously who has time for that?
During all the chaos my kids were picked up by their dads and Alex went to stay with my ex-fiance until my mom and dad flew in. I was lucky I had several clients from work stop by and check in on me. I even had a client who knew I had been planning to go Christmas shopping that Saturday that I had gotten sick, ask if my kids had presents for Christmas. I was so darn lucky and blessed to have such good friends.
After I was discharged from the hospital I slept really for the next several weeks. Don't really remember much about that time or the time my parents were here. I had completely missed out on Christmas.I had a couple more ER visits because of spinal headaches from the spinal tap. I stopped taking the birth control. Take the aspirin every day. I was told to slow down eliminate stress. That in itself was going to be no small undertaking, but it was going to be a necessity. Slowly over the next few months I began to eliminate negative people and circumstances in my life.
My kids like to reminisce about that time. My daughter likes to remind me that she never got her trophy and my boys talk about how they felt responsible for me getting sick. They thought it was because of them that they had stressed me so much that I got sick, then the conversation quickly changes to how much they got away with while I was sleeping. Mom even let us play nerf darts in the house!!! Lol!
I am so thankful for all my great blessings that I received from this experience. I am so thankful to all my friends and family who helped me and my kids during that time. I am so thankful that I still have the opportunity to be mom to my kids, a daughter to my parents, a sister to my sisters and a friend to my friends. I am so grateful this year to have the health that I do have. I thank Heavenly Father for it all!

As a Grand mama, the angst of raising teenagers is a thing of the past. No longer do I lift my eyes to the heavens and moan, "Call me Sam, call me anything, but don't call me Mama as in 'Mama, there are no clean towels, Mama, there is no shampoo, Mama, I can't find my mascara, my book report, my locker key.Mama, mama, mama, I have to go to the library 10 minutes ago or the swimming pool or the gym and we have to pick up Susan, Jane and Mary Ann.'"
These days, I get written invitations and sometimes, polite verbal requests.
It's nice and oh so easy on the nerves.
Friday night at Hilton Head Christian Academy, they had a series of events culminating Spirit Week, their homecoming celebration.
Granddaughter Anna Catherine Graham is a senior and with her fellow class mates was to be honored, not with awards or scholarships, but praised by parents.
Our family made sure to get to the school gymnasium early.
Obviously, everyone else thought that was a good idea and people were already parking way down the road.
Spotting some empty spaces in the bleachers, I made my way up clutching a back saving stadium seat which proved to be totally useless unless the gentleman sitting behind me lopped off his legs. I sat with my knees braced against the generous sized person in front of me assuring him it was nothing personal and held the folded stadium seat close to my bosom.
First on the agenda was a basketball game. Not any old game, but one between HHCA's boys' varsity and a creaking alumni group who promptly showed their expertise on the court and edged out by one point the younger players for a well deserved win.
Talk about excitement.
Stars of the evening were the tiny tot cheerleaders who shook their pom poms and danced their way to our hearts.
I would be hard pressed to describe the presentation of the synchronized swim team who performed between two large sheets of blue paper while the music of La Mer drifted across the gym floor.
It was original, well done and absolutely delightful.
The top of the evening was yet to come.
The program for the young men of the senior class had been held in the morning, now the young ladies were to be honored.
One by one, escorted by their proud fathers, these beautiful graduating seniors came to stand in center court while an announcer told of her achievements academic and athletic, social and charitable.
Then, a letter from her father was read as he handed his daughter a single white rose.
Without exception, each man remembered with love and humor the special times spent with this child, now a lovely young woman.
It was Kleenex time.
Did I mention that each of these graduates of so much promise were in exquisite full-length gowns?
The program ended with the homecoming queen of last year crowning her senior class sister as the homecoming queen of 2012.
How sweet is that?

Rijksmuseum Twente
Housed in an Art Deco mansion of 1930 on the northern edge of town, the Rijksmuseum Twente contains two key sections – fifteenth- to nineteenth-century art and modern and contemporary art, primarily Dutch with the emphasis on Expressionism. Among a fine sample of early religious art, three particular highlights are a set of brilliant blue and gold fragments from a French hand-illuminated missal; a primitive twelfth-century woodcarving of Christ on Palm Sunday, and a delightful cartoon strip of contemporary life entitled De Zeven Werken van Barmhartigheid ("The Seven Acts of Charity").
Of later canvases, Hans Holbein's Portrait of Richard Mabott is typical of his work, the stark black of the subject's gown offset by the white cross on his chest and the face so finely observed it's possible to make out the line of his stubble. Pieter Brueghel the Younger's Winter Landscape is also fastidiously drawn, down to the last twig, and contrasts with the more loosely contoured figures and threatening clouds of his brother Jan's Landscape. Moving on, Jan Steen's The Alchemist is all scurrilous satire, from the skull on the chimneypiece to the lizard suspended from the ceiling and the ogre's whispered advice. Steen also mocks sex, most memorably here in his Lute Player, which features a woman with bulging breasts and flushed countenance in the foreground, while on the wall behind is the vague outline of tussling lovers.
High points of the modern and contemporary section include Monet's volatile Falaises près de Pourville; a characteristically unsettling canvas by Carel Willink, The Actress Ank van der Moer; and examples of the work of less well-known Dutch modernists like Theo Kuypers, Jan Roeland and Emo Verkerk.
