Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the I Love Paris concert. It was one of the best ever. The beautiful back drop and the equally beautiful songs and music, made it feel as if I was right there in Paris.
I knew all the words of all the songs - a fabulous program and each performer was perfect in their individual songs and the ensembles were beautiful with great endings! A standing ovation at the end with cheering and clapping was testament to everyone's enjoyment. It is certainly up there with the best and everyone wore a huge smile as they left! THANK YOU ALL for brightening our lives!!
I just wanted to pass on my congratulations on today's show. I'm so pleased I attended, as was my neighbour, who was entranced. This was everything such occasions should be: heartfelt, poignant, funny, inspiring, uproarious, festive ... immensely satisfying. Please pass on my plaudits to everyone.
We laughed, sang, cried and clapped our hands sore, it truly was that good a performance. Our congratulations and thanks to all who work so hard to bring these concerts together and the performers who give their all to entertain us so well.
Thank you for all the wonderful concerts, the happiness they give us and for being such friendly good people.
We thoroughly enjoyed the superb concert today in Invercargill. So honest and moving. Very professional. Our first time. We look forward to becoming regulars.
Just must tell you .... I went to the concert this morning. Came home on such a high I couldn't work! What a morning. How lucky we are. A thousand thanks to all of you there. Operatunity is playing such a big part in my life's joys.
Another wonderful concert by Operatunity – enjoyed every minute of it – great background scenery on stage, lovely playing by Paul, outstanding singing by all and lots of comedy from Karl and Alex. Looking forward to It's Rainin Men! Cheers.
Wow, what a superb concert this morning! What fabulous and varied costumes! It was an absolute blast and looked to be a full house!
Thank you for these amazing concerts. They are so very good for the soul and such fun!
My sister and I attended today's concert in Hastings. Like the last concert it was absolutely fabulous. Congratulations to you and John for finding all these wonderfully talented artists to bring so much enjoyment and happiness to we senior citizens.
Thankyou for all the boys of It's Raining' Men. I really enjoyed the concert I didn't want it to stop so awesome, thankyou again.
What a wonderful, exciting concert I attended in Mosgiel this morning/early afternoon. The whole audience was abuzz and enjoyed singing along, clapping and even attempting their versions of the twist! Coronation Hall was packed with Karl having to bring in more chairs to accommodate the large number of people. Karl was very impressive carrying a number of chairs up the steps to the back of the Theatre.
Well done to all presenters!
Another wonderful concert today at the Fabulous 50's concert, full of fun and laughter with everyone singing and clapping and dancing. The venue was packed with very happy people living for two hours in the past. I felt young and free amidst all that great music again.
Huge thanks for another excellent and fun filled concert today with all six performers going the extra mile. You make us laugh and sing and lift our spirits. Everyone was smiling afterwards and you do more for our health than any medication!
My wife, Mavis, and myself yesterday (Fri. 27/10/2017) attended your 'Fabulous 50's' show at the New Plymouth venue and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you! All the performers were brilliant and the song selection was great. Lots of reminiscing done.
We always enjoy our drive through to Wanganui on Operatunity days and love our wonderful time listening to all the magical music and of course the great jokes that Sue remembers. We have just been down on the Southern Lakes and Fiords tour with Sue and thoroughly loved every minute with the group.Thank them all for sharing those days with us.
Thanks for bringing us world class shows 8 times a year! Such a highlight in our lives. May you have a blessed Christmas and may 2018 be your best year ever!
I always leave feeling on 'cloud 9'. I look forward to 2018 for the wonderful concerts and the two trips I am booked on later in the year.
Thank you for all the hard work you do to bring us all such pleasure each year. Long live Operatunity!
Wow another great concert, you sure can pull them out of the bag. The musical performance was wonderful as usual, you are all so talented. We nearly cried laughing at the Irish Dancing!
I was entranced and delighted by talented Jess, the magic she shares with the audience is truly wonderful. Then we come to Riverdance, Operatunity style. Bryony was so exciting, the 2 men with their "high kicks" were brilliant and then, something I will always recall and chuckle at, Susan's outrageous and courageous appearance to join the dance. You once again gave us another fabulous concert.
Congratulations to all on a truly wonderful concert the most entertaining I have seen in 15 years of visits. The baptism of fire of Bryony was great, she is a wonderful addition to the team. The staging and humour were a hilarious treat especially the alligator consuming Donald Trump and the Irish joke as usual.
Still remembering the joy the Irish concert gave to the people who were there on Friday, had all the components of an 'Irish Do'; funny, moving and so well presented by all the artists.
I have seen Luck of the Irish today and what a great show! Not only did they entertain us with a wonderful program but they seemed to enjoy themselves as well. Another good launch of the new years concert series.
I have been to many of your wonderful daytime concerts but feel I must congratulate the 3 gentleman in today's show. They were superb. Also a great band. Thank you for all the pleasure you give to us and a big thank you to all your talented performers.
Loved the Rat Pack Concert and the tap dancing! All the artists were excellent but we particularly loved Rutene Spooner who has such a beautiful voice. He also amazed us with his balancing on his toes when tap dancing! Astonishing!
The programme was great, the backdrop was marvelous, the concert was exceptional. Really, really great show. Congratulations and thank you very much.
I would like to mention the most talented pianists Penny, she deserved a standing ovation for today's show (in fact they all did!)
Saw this show in Invercargill and it was amazing, well done to you all and thanks for lifting people's spirits, love you all.
This was such a slick, sensational concert and great value for the money. Gave me goosebumps!
Great concert Operatunity, with a very special selection of favourite songs.
Another fantastic concert. Fully booked Mosgiel show. Thank you all for my "laughter therapy."
The Mosgiel performance was outstanding, great music, colourful and fun.
This is a terrific show, saw this last Thursday in Invercargill, thanks Bonnie, Karl, Suzanne and Pat plus the band, loved every minute.
Shake, Rattle & Roll is, in our opinion, an absolutely outstanding Concert & clearly the most complete Operatunity Show that we have been to.
A wonderful ensemble of entertainers & musicians had the audience captivated from opening to close with a beautiful mix of vocal's, instrumental's & humour.
Congratulations to all involved.
Just saw today's concert TENNESSEE WALTZ at Hamilton. Often not a great fan of country and western but today's programme almost converted me. So polished with talented singers and musicians! Very professional! Marian Burns and Karl Perigo fantastic!
I saw this show at Botany, and what a superb concert it was! Every performer was excellent, every performance was excellent. We have some incredible talent in this little country, and Operatunity really put it on with Tennessee Waltz concert. I loved every minute, every song.
Amazing show - we saw it at Papakura last Thursday with friends and the general comments were.....'Best show so far this year'!
What a FABULOUS concert!! As a dedicated Operatunity Fan, I've been to many Operatunity concerts in Gisborne and each time I think 'OH THIS IS THE BEST'! Then guess what - another wonderful, fun one. Operatunity keeps bringing us such talented entertainers. Grant Winterburn - oh my gosh, fantastic. The whole cast were just amazing. THANK YOU ALL. I will be out encouraging more to come and fill the seats.
...a magnificent concert last Tuesday at Botany. It was masterful - your handling of the past opera virtuoso's on screen and the wonderful voices of your own team combined to produce a feast of joy and entertainment for us all. Bonnie, Kalauni, Derek, Amanda and yourself [Sue] so relaxed yet inherently professional.
HOW lucky we are in Whanganui to be one of the 23 venues for the outstanding performances of the highly talented and musically gifted singers of the Operatunity "family"!
Thursday, October 4, was no exception, and the Royal Wanganui Opera House was filled with an appreciative audience who joined in the "Grand Ole Opry" singalongs with gusto.
Advertised as "fabulous, fun and frenetic bluegrass fiddling", it was exactly that. If any readers don't know about it, there are still two daytime concerts this year; November 8 and December 10.
As some of the audience are mobility-impaired and Operatunity's real "home" is the War Memorial Centre, the organisers have gone to a lot of trouble to ensure that lunches are served after the shows so that everyone could thrill to the exceptional "fiddling" of Marian Burns MNZM, diva Suzanne Lynch MNZM, songstress Karen Davy LMM and the inimitable Karl Perigo and his awesome pals. There are other delightful singers in the "team" and every show is unique.
Wonderful concert in Chch today. We thoroughly enjoyed it. You always have talented accompanists who add a great deal to complement the singers!!!
Thoroughly enjoyed this Show in Palmerston North today. Great cast and pianist. Lots of laughs!
This pantomime is absolutely hilarious, excellent performances from everyone, and from the brilliant pianist. I loved it.
Over the year I have so enjoyed all the concerts. I marvel at how you put each concert together. Each one has it's own appeal... To find all the talent that makes the concerts flow is a real talent.
May the leaders manage to find all the songs we love and all the excellent talent that is available in New Zealand. Keep up the great work.
Just wanted to say thank you for an amazing concert on Monday in Lower Hutt. I booked as I love Marian Burns, but oh what a show. Suzanne & Karen were fantastic too, and Karl really stole the show - lots of fun. Enjoyed every moment of the show. I booked the tickets as a Fathers Day present for my Dad (who is from Gisborne) - he loved it just as much as I did. And the amazing thing is both of my ex sister-in-laws were there too - they don't miss any of your shows. I think I'll be taking more days off work, and attending some of your future shows.
Thank you all so much for the concerts I am sooooo grateful! My mum loves having this event to look forward to, it has so put a bounce in her step. An absolute joy to being mum to the concerts in Remuera. Each performance is so full of love for what they do, they are all so delightful, genuine and caring and talented. Thank you all for how you do what you do, and your talents, kindness and what you bring to all the wonderful mums and dads who are in their 70plus xxxx
"What a wonderful show Operatunity performed in the Te Atatu Baptist Church yesterday. All the cast and Paul performed with such passion, and emotional and musical intensity. Tears came to my eyes several times. It was a wonderful musical experience.Karl always leads with his heart and voice, and the men sang powerfully and with true emotional conviction. However the 2 women I had not heard before were absolutely beautiful in their singing and stage presence. Amanda Atlas and Kelly Harris. I would certainly love to see and hear them performing more often. What wonderful gifts they each have. Each of them is a top class performer. How marvellous to see and hear such a wonderful and emotional concert from all the cast."
"I have been coming to shows for many years, so obviously am a great fan. Today I was blown away, I laughed & I cried & at the end was on my feet, clapping & cheering. Everyone was magnificent, costumes fabulous, music by Paul faultless & the voices as good of any I have ever heard anywhere in the world. Operatunity is without a doubt world class.THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to the Operatunity Team who bring so much pleasure to so many people."
"Your Tauranga concert last Friday was superb. Wonderful voices and music + funnies! Your Concerts bring joy and beauty to our lives. Thanks Team Operatunity."
"Attended concert in Mosgiel today. What a powerful group of singers as well as Paul, brilliant, as always, on the piano. Thanks team. It was a wonderful show to be at and thank you for the rousing National Anthem. See you next time."
"Went to the Nelson concert today and felt the situation in Christchurch was well handled with the singing of our national anthem beforehand. So many of the items had us thinking they were so appropriate for the occasion by pure chance. I would encourage Christchurch to go and see what is one of the best Shows I have seen. It can't be easy for the Operatunity performers to sing such items when there is so much emotion involved.
Go well in Christchurch Karl, Amanda, Stuart, Kelly, Tai and Paul."
"Attended Pukekohe show and it was spectacular. Proud to be a New Zealander and experience a show that is up there on the international stage. Such amazing talent!"
"Together with 18 other residents of Greenwood Park we attended the concert Hits of the 60s and 70s. And what a show it was! Bonnie, Russell, Tainui and Isaac would be at home and could grace any stage in the world, their voices and choreography were absolutely outstanding and together with the orchestra gave us a truly memorable performance."
"We enjoyed the Pukekohe concert, you just keep performing better and better. Just an amazing fantastic performance. Don't ever want to miss your concerts in our area. Could go watch an enjoy it all over again."
"Went and saw this show in Nelson today absolutely incredible performances they nailed everything 100%. Queen move over, the Operatunity boys are taking over."
"Another fabulous show, from the red jackets and island shirts to the glitzy black jackets, and Bonnie's amazing hairstyle. All the songs were wonderful with great movement, topping it off with Bohemian Rhapsody. Great show guys and band."

Hair extensions can be attached to your head in many different ways, including gluing, tubing, sewing, and clipping on. Different methods have different advantages. The method you choose will depend on many factors: your hair, your lifestyle, your budget, and your needs, for starters. If you are looking for a long-lasting, natural-looking hair extension, though, consider one of the fusion methods.
Fusion is generally the preferred method as fused hair extensions can last up to three to six months with skilled application and proper care. With fusion hair extensions, the extensions should be indistinguishable from your natural hair. If properly applied, the attachment site should be virtually invisible.
Fusion hair extensions are more expensive than other methods. If you want long-lasting, natural-looking luscious hair, they just might be the extensions for you.
How to Take Care of Black Children's Hair Appropriately
Are you in search of silky, sleek, ready-for-the-runway hair without an exhaustive daily routine? Keratin treatments may be just the solution you're looking for in order to tame your hair. Whether you call them Brazilian keratin treatments or by one of the many brand names on the market today, a keratin treatment is ideal for the fashion-forward of any ethnicity. Keratin treatments for African American hair can have especially dramatic results.
With the professional application of a treatment, hair becomes straighter, more resistant to tangles and the overall condition of your hair may even improve. Unfortunately, there's also quite a bit of misinformation and myth surrounding the keratin treatment for African American hair.
What are the Benefits for African American Hair?
If your hair is difficult to comb or has been subjected to harsh treatment in order to achieve straight, glossy tresses, a treatment can help to make a very real difference in the appearance and condition of your hair. The primary benefit for African-American hair, aside from shine and straightness, is the lack of harsh chemicals like calcium hydroxide and ammonia. Treatments can also be applied to hair which has been previously processed with color, bleach or highlights is a good candidate for keratin, which is not always the case with chemical relaxers.
What Else Should I Know?
Keratin treatments can have a significant affect on the straightness and appearance of your hair, but they do require a bit of upkeep in order to look their best. For the day of treatments and a few days afterwards, it's not advised to get your hair wet, sweat heavily or apply other products to your hair. It's also not advised to put your hair up, either with elastics or pins. Unlike chemical relaxers, keratin treatments will also gradually wash out over time. To reduce wash-out and extend the life of your treatment, customers are advised to use sulfate-free shampoos, conditioners and products.

Periodontists are specially trained to provide treatments that deal with gum tissue and supporting structures.
These specialists can perform surgical gum treatments, place dental implants, and correct cosmetic concerns like a gummy smile.
When do I need to see a periodontist?
A periodontist can treat all stages of gum disease from mild to severe...
While a general dentist typically refers you to a specialist if you have advanced gum disease or a problematic medical history, a periodontist can address most cases in-house. Periodontists can perform both cosmetic procedures such as gum lifts as well as restorative procedures, including gum flap surgery and bone grafting.
In addition to standard equipment such as probes, periodontists often use advanced imaging technology and state-of-the-art treatment equipment such as dental lasers to make procedures more comfortable.
Periodontists can perform various types of gum surgery to treat both cosmetic and health-related issues. For patients who lose a tooth as a result of gum disease, a periodontist can also replace missing teeth with dental implants.
Untreated periodontal disease can have very serious consequences...
What treatments can a periodontist provide?
Periodontists can even correct the consequences of advanced gum disease, including tooth loss...
Some periodontists use advanced tools designed specifically for periodontal care...
Many periodontists pair careful technique with state-of-the-art technology to provide advanced procedures for patients. Some notable procedures include:
These procedures are designed with patient comfort in mind and typically require few or no incisions compared to traditional gingival treatment methods. In many cases, this use of technology can expedite your treatment time and speed up your recovery period following a periodontal procedure.
"Patients who present with moderate or severe levels of periodontal disease, or patients with more complex cases, will be best managed by a partnership between the dentist and periodontist." - American Academy of Periodontology
If you've never heard of a periodontist, that's probably because your dentist has never had to refer you to one.
Some general dentists can perform scaling and root planing to treat early gum disease on their own, but most will refer you to a periodontist for more advanced issues. Periodontists are specialists who focus on complex cases which your regular dentist usually does not have the resources or training to address.
If you have advanced gum disease, missing teeth, or are unhappy with the look of your gums, trust your results to a specialist with advanced training. You do not need to be referred to a periodontist. Schedule an appointment with one today.

Limiting the amount of memory and CPU that mod_perl uses is also quite easy (using rlimits as in Apache::Resource).
I think you are misinformed about leaking memory. Most of the things people consider leaking memory under mod_perl are simply using memory as your program needs it to do more work. PHP will use memory too, if you load a big data structure from a file or database. Leaking requires you to code a circular structure or use a module with bad XS code. Running mod_perl by itself is quite stable.
PHP is not as fast as mod_perl. Numerous benchmarks have shown this, including the ones Yahoo did to decide on using PHP.
The subject of this thread was security, and why PHP is considered secure in a shared environment. The answers seem to be that it can be run as CGI (which of course is true of Perl as well) or that it can be run in a safe shared mode. The latter is an advantage over mod_perl for ISPs. At the moment, people looking for a cheap mod_perl ISP have to go for either a virtual server environment (where you get your own server with root access, but not a dedicated box) or SpeedyCGI.

Lion Pearl Necklace
Product Description
MvdT designs are handmade of pure metals, brass and sterling 925 silver. Brass is a nickel free alloy of copper and zinc. It has been used for centuries as a semi-precious alternative to gold.
Every piece will tarnish and age differently as it is exposed to a range of factors. Areas with a higher level of humidity will see a more rapid transformation in comparison to those that are colder and drier. Depending on the pH level of your skin the metals can shine or oxidize. In some cases the oxidization can leave a mark on your skin.
The MvdT Collection was created with antiquity in mind and intended to age over time. To return your jewel to its original raw brass color use the magic care polish set. Please refer to the instructions on here.

Seaside Park, like the rest of the Jersey Shore, bounced back after Sandy battered the coast almost a year ago.
Now, less than two days after a massive blaze engulfed many of the just-rebuilt businesses and boardwalk, the town has to rebuild again.
"We're going to get back on our feet," said Gov. Chris Christie. "We're going to do what we need to do."
U.S. & World
Authorities are making tentative plans to rebuild the boardwalk, most of which had just been redone in time for Memorial Day weekend. Bob Martucci, the borough administrator, said it will cost $600,000 to rebuild the borough-owned boardwalk. Individual businesses would not be included in that cost, he said.
Boardwalk merchants were numb as they pondered the second major disaster to befall them in 11 months.
"We just reopened June 1, went through the whole summer trying to stay open, and now this happens," said Daniel Shauger, manager of Funtown Arcade, which was one of 32 Seaside Park boardwalk businesses damaged in the fire. "We're wiped out again. It's just unimaginable."
He said business was down by two-thirds this summer because of the fallout from Sandy, which filled his arcade with water and sand and ruined inventory, game machines and computers.
"It was just enough to survive," Shauger said. "We were really looking forward to next year. And we're still looking forward to next year."

Other business owners had better luck. Wayne Cimorilli talked on air Thursday afternoon with NBC 4 New York on the roof of his restaurant, Spicy Cantina, as he tried to keep flames from spreading to the building with little more than a hose.
Spicy survived the fire, but Cimorilli said he never expected the flames to get so close to his front door. He said he can't help but regret not being able to save other businesses.
"How do I feel?" he said Friday. "A little guilty that we're open and we're doing some business tonight."
Christie said state grants and loans could be made available to help businesses with recovery costs not covered by insurance.
On a visit to the boardwalk on Saturday Christie said he planned to meet privately with 30 of the more than 50 business owners who suffered losses in Thursday's fire
Just north of Seaside Park, neighboring Seaside Heights is set to kick off a celebration of the town's 100th anniversary. The event was pushed back a day thanks to the blaze. But the undamaged part of the boardwalk will remain open, as well as the Casino Pier.
"Our hearts go out to our dear friends in Seaside Park as we keep them in our thoughts and prayers and urge everyone to attend and show their support during this unfortunate time," New Heights Festival organizers said in a statement.
For hours Thursday, hundreds of firefighters dumped thousands of gallons of water on the rapidly spreading inferno that started at Kohrs Frozen Custard in the afternoon. The blaze devoured most of the boardwalk and the businesses on it before crews were able to stave off the flames by ripping up a section of boardwalk in Seaside Heights and digging a 25-foot trench in the sand.
Officials are still trying to determine the cause of the fire, but it may take some time before they can look into all the evidence. That's because officials think hot spots could keep flaring up for days.
Christie cautioned not to speculate about the cause. Like other fires, it's being treated as a crime scene for now.
There were no serious injuries in the fire, but three police officers who worked overnight at the scene were seriously hurt Friday morning when they fell off a truck that was taking them out of the fire zone. Christie said they all had head injuries.
"As soon as you got your license, that's where you wanted to go, Seaside. That was it," said Elizabeth firefighter Dennis Connor.
"I used to come down here as a young kid, when I was 13 years old, used to come down for two weeks every summer with friends of mine," said Elizabeth Fire Deputy Chief Andy Sandoukas.
"It feels like another dagger in your heart, after the devastation of Sandy last year," said Sandoukas. "You think they're rebounding, and now it's just another blow."

Analytics Firm Provides Game-Changing Capabilities with Google BigQuery
Claritics is a Mountain View, California-based social analytics company with 15 employees. Its web-based applications help social and mobile game developers, advertisers and media companies gain real-time insights into the behavior of game players and app users. These insights help shape key game and app design, optimize marketing effectiveness and increase application revenue.
Claritics needed to help developers analyze vast amounts of data in order to make their games and applications more effective. The company's original plan included setting up clusters of Hadoop servers to process the data, but the system was time-consuming and required a specialized staff to maintain it.
"Getting data into the system was cumbersome," says Claritics CEO Raj Pai. "Once the data was in, running queries – asking simple questions and getting responses – took a lot of time. Complex queries on large datasets could take more than 30 minutes."
As the company continued to analyze growing amounts of data, the Hadoop system required continual fine-tuning to expand its storage capacity. The infrastructure would also have to grow, meaning a hefty expense. Pai knew he needed a faster, more scalable data processing tool.
Google BigQuery is a web service that enables companies to analyze massive datasets of up to billions of rows in seconds using Google's vast data processing infrastructure. Pai heard about the service at an event for Google developers in May 2010, and his company began using it that same summer.
"Google BigQuery is saving us time and resources. Since we don't have to worry about setting up machines as we bring more clients onboard, we expect it will save us a lot of money as well."
Raj Pai CEO, Claritics
BigQuery's simple, SQL-like query language doesn't require complex technology or specialized personnel. Claritics uses the service as a fast analytics database for its applications, pumping in large volumes of data – millions of gaming events – every day. Since the system scales automatically, Pai and his team don't have to worry about fine-tuning or adding hardware as data volumes increase.
Claritics uses Google BigQuery to help developers:
- Assess the effectiveness of user acquisition campaigns
- Deepen game engagement
- Find more effective ways to monetize their games through ads or virtual goods sales
- Identify the most active users and entice them to introduce new players to games
The service's speed and scalability let developers easily test new products before launching them.
"Rapid experimentation and testing of new games is critical for our publishers," Pai says. "They look at user reach, retention and revenue metrics very carefully to see if a game or app is gaining traction before investing too heavily in it. BigQuery helps us provide an in-depth level of gaming analytics in near real-time, which is essential for our customers."
Google BigQuery has freed Pai and his team from infrastructure requirements, saving up to 40% of their time. In contrast with Hadoop's lengthy processing time, running complex queries on datasets hundreds of gigabytes in size takes as little as 20 seconds using BigQuery, allowing Claritics to process terabytes of critical user data each day.
With Google BigQuery, Claritics is also able to innovate more rapidly. Since Pai's team can run queries in mere seconds, they are able to conduct investigative ad hoc analysis to spot emerging trends in the data. This enables them to bring new analytics apps to market nearly four times faster than before.
"We can use the BigQuery infrastructure to create advanced queries and build these really quickly from a prototyping perspective," he says. "This gives us more flexibility as we look ahead to developing new analytics apps. Google BigQuery is also saving us time and resources. Since we don't have to worry about setting up machines as we bring more clients onboard, we expect it will save us a lot of money as well."
The company also has the flexibility to roll out advanced analysis faster as developers' games and apps evolve. "Using the big-data analytics infrastructure from Google BigQuery has significant time-to-market and performance advantages," Pai says.

Does your application break after every few hours of inactivity even though you have enough database connections in the pool? It is a common problem with database connection pooling (and idle sockets connections in general).
I have been running a few Grails app with PostgreSQL database using Apache Commons DBCP connection pooling. Most of these apps are pretty busy, and are working quite well so far. But I have one critical app that doesn't get used as much. Recently after a bug report, I was watching through the logs and I realized that this app was complaining about Socket Connection Exception after every hour of idle time. Try it again, and it would work. So why was it rejecting the DB connection the first time? Creepy!
I checked out the other apps I have, and all of them were suffering from the same problem – depending on how idle they were. I couldn't ignore any longer.
I started off with the basics.
Basic configuration:
I have my datasource defined in the DataSource.groovy file under grails-app/conf. I have enabled connection pooling and I am using the appropriate PostgreSQL-JDBC driver. Grails comes with Apache DBCP connection pooling by default. So it just works.
environments { production { dataSource { pooled = true driverClassName = "org.postgresql.Driver" dbCreate = "update" url = "jdbc:postgresql://sacharya.com:5432/sacharya_prod_db" username = "myuser" password = "mypassword" logSql=true } } }
This is what my production configuration looks like – running whatever the default behavior that Grails comes with. I printed the datasource object to see what DBCP configurations my app is using by default.
dataSource.properties.each { println it }
As the result shows, it is using the default values as defined in Apache DBCP
Using netstat, I started watching if the application has any connections to the database open:
$ netstat -na | grep 5432
tcp4 0 0 184.108.40.206.50095 188.8.131.52.5432 ESTABLISHED
So DBCP says it has no connections open (active or idle) to the database yet in the pool. But netstat shows there is a TCP connection established to the database. Where does this connection come from – loading & initializing the Driver?
Now lets use the application for a while. Once you start asking the pool for connections, existing connections idle in the pool are at your service, or if there no connections in the pool, new connections are created and given to you, which get returned back to the pool after you complete the query. So at any given time, there will be minIdle to maxIdle ( 0 to 8 in our case) connections in the pool.
$ netstat -na | grep 5432
tcp4 0 0 184.108.40.206.51308 184.108.40.206.5432 ESTABLISHED
tcp4 0 0 184.108.40.206.50095 22.214.171.124.5432 ESTABLISHED
Now with some connections in the pool, I left the app idle for an hour and then I tried to access the app (netstat still shows 2 TCP connection). The first query got the following exception:
org.springframework.dao.DataAccessResourceFailureException: could not execute query; nested exception is org.hibernate.exception.JDBCConnectionException: could not execute query Caused by: org.hibernate.exception.JDBCConnectionException: could not execute query at org.hibernate.exception.SQLStateConverter.convert(SQLStateConverter.java:97) Caused by: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: An I/O error occured while sending to the backend. at org.postgresql.core.v3.QueryExecutorImpl.execute(QueryExecutorImpl.java:217) Caused by: org.hibernate.exception.JDBCConnectionException: could not execute query at org.hibernate.exception.SQLStateConverter.convert(SQLStateConverter.java:97) Caused by: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: An I/O error occured while sending to the backend. at org.postgresql.core.v3.QueryExecutorImpl.execute(QueryExecutorImpl.java:217) Caused by: java.net.SocketException: Broken pipe at java.net.SocketOutputStream.socketWrite0(Native Method)
The subsequent query succeeds. There was one connection (ignore the other TCP connection used during Driver initialization) in the pool, but the database responded by saying that the connection was not valid.
At this point it was clear that the TCP connection that was sitting idle was already broken, but our app still assumed it to be open. By idle connections, I mean connections in the pool that aren't in active use at the moment by the application. After some search, I came to the conclusion that the network firewall between my app and the database is dropping the idle/stale connections after 1 hour. It seemed to be a common problem that many people have faced.
By default, DBCP holds the pooled connections open for infinite time. But a database connection is essentially a socket connection, and it doesn't come for free. The host OS, database host, and firewall have to allocate a certain amount of memory and other resources for each socket connection. It makes sense to those devices not to hold onto idle connections for ever. So the idea is to make sure that you don't have stale connections in your pool that would otherwise be silently dropped by OS or firewall. The system has no way of knowing if the connection is broken unless is sends a packet and waits for an acknowledgement. So even when the connection is timed out or closed by one side, the other side may still think the connection is open.
While there may not be a firewall between your server and database, even the OS has a timeout on TCP connections. You could probably increase the TCP keepalive of the OS itself, but that will affect the whole system, and yet you are only postponing the problem.
Now lets try to modify some of the DBCP settings for the dataSource.
1. Validating Connections: DBCP allows you do define a validation query and do a sanity check of the connection before you actually use it in your application.
By default,
The validation query must return at least one row, and using the query you can have DBCP test the connection for you while its idle, before you borrow and before you return it.
So lets change it to:
validationQuery="SELECT 1"
If any of the connection object fails to validate, it will be dropped from the pool. There might be some performance implications of running these three SQLs (which I am not worried at the momet), and hence you might just want to try testOnBorrow.
2. Evicting Idle Connections: DBCP can run an idle object evictor at a regular interval and evict any connections that are older than some threshold. By default this behavior is turned off since timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis is set to -1.
minEvictableIdleTimeMillis=1000 * 60 * 30
Now lets run the evictor every 30 minutes and evict any connections older than 30 minutes.
timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis=1000 * 60 * 30
minEvictableIdleTimeMillis=1000 * 60 * 30
It turns out that you cannot change the DBCP settings from the DataSource.groovy file. The datasource object injected in the DataSource.groovy file is an instance of the javax.sql.DataSource. I can however do so by overriding the default DataSource from the BootStrap.groovy, which sets up the settings during start up.
import org.codehaus.groovy.grails.commons.ApplicationAttributes class BootStrap { def init = { servletContext -> def ctx=servletContext.getAttribute( ApplicationAttributes.APPLICATION_CONTEXT) def dataSource = ctx.dataSource dataSource.setMinEvictableIdleTimeMillis(1000 * 60 * 30) dataSource.setTimeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis(1000 * 60 * 30) dataSource.setNumTestsPerEvictionRun(3) dataSource.setTestOnBorrow(true) dataSource.setTestWhileIdle(false) dataSource.setTestOnReturn(false) dataSource.setValidationQuery("SELECT 1") dataSource.properties.each { println it } } }
You can do the same from grails-app/conf/spring/Resource.groovy:
import org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource beans = { dataSource(BasicDataSource) { minEvictableIdleTimeMillis=1800000 timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis=1800000 numTestsPerEvictionRun=3 testOnBorrow=true testWhileIdle=true testOnReturn=true validationQuery="SELECT 1" } }
This seems to have solved the problem for me. Since my firewall was dropping the socket connections at 60 minutes, all I did was proactively run the idle object evictor every half 30 minutes, flush connections that are idle for more than 30 minutes and regenerate new connections in the pool. I also did sanity check over the connections in the pool.

We are in the home stretch of planning a wedding and we are so excited! It's been eight month since the engagement and the preparations began. Our to do list is definitely getting shorter. Throughout the planning process, I've been torn between sharing posts of the progress or maintain the surprise and delight for guests at the big event. I've gone with an middle road approach - sharing snippets on instagram, but letting most details be a surprise. I'm looking forward to blogging about some of the highlights of the planning process and sharing behind the scenes details after the celebration.

| Moss
Temporal range: Permian to recent
| green = haploid moss body;
orange = diploid sporophyte
|Scientific classification
Takakiopsida; Sphagnopsida; Andreaeopsida; Andreaeobryopsida; Oedipodiopsida; Polytrichopsida; Tetraphidopsida; Bryopsida
Mosses are Bryophytes, which are non-vascular plants. They apparently evolved from liverworts: evidence from mitochondrial DNA suggests that this is the stem group from which mosses, hornworts and all other land plants evolved.[1]p75
Mosses do not have cells that move water like other plants- water must soak into them, like a sponge. A patch of moss is made of many tiny moss plants packed together so that they can hold water for as long as possible. They do not have roots, and could not get water from them if they did. Because they cannot find water, they live in two ways. They can live in places that are always wet; like near a spring, a river, or in a place where there is a lot of fog. They can also dry up when there is no water. This means that they can never live in dry places.
They cannot grow very large because they could not move water to the top of the moss. The largest moss grows in New Zealand, and is about 30 cm tall.
A moss does not make seeds. A moss does not have fruit. The green fuzzy part of a moss that is always there has only half of the moss DNA. When the moss has made lots of food and there is enough water, cells from different moss plants swim inside a clump of moss. Two cells combine to make a cell with a full set of moss DNA. This cell grows into a different kind of moss plant- but it gets all of its food from a green fuzzy moss plant. When the cell grows, it makes tiny spores instead of seeds. The spores are like dust. They come from a little box that grows up out of the moss. The box has a lid that falls off. Then the spores come out and float away. They will make more moss.
Scientists divide the mosses into eight groups. Five of these groups are small, with just a few species; most mosses are in the group called Bryopsida.

Royals Use 6-Run 8th to Rally Past Blue Jays 10-7
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Salvador Perez homered and drove in four runs and the Kansas City Royals rallied for a 10-7 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night.
Perez's two-run double off Sergio Santos in the Royals' six-run eighth put the Royals ahead. Perez's four RBIs matched his career high.
The Royals sent 10 men to the plate in the eighth, which also included Omar Infante driving in two runs, while Nori Aoki and Jarrod Dyson added RBI singles.
Perez, who has three consecutive multi-hit games, homered in the seventh with Alex Gordon aboard to trim the Toronto lead to 5-4.
Aaron Crow (1-1), the third of four Royals pitchers, picked up the victory with a scoreless eighth inning and has not allowed an earned run and only five hits in nine innings this season.
Brett Cecil (0-2) took the loss, retiring only two of the five batters he faced.

A big bowl of crisp greens and colorful veggies may seem like the ideal vitamin- and mineral-packed meal. But in order to get the full nutrient punch from a salad, you've got to fatten it up – or else your body won't absorb the vegetables' carotenoids, which are plant pigments that can reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease.
You should still hold off on creamy dressings, bacon crumbles, and garlic-butter-soaked croutons, though – new research finds that when it comes to unlocking carotenoids' full potential, all fats are not created equal. Purdue University scientists discovered that heart-healthy monounsaturated fat, found in certain plant oils, provides the best carotenoid absorption per gram, while artery-clogging saturated fat (that's your blue cheese, bacon, and butter) offers by far the worst.
To determine this, researchers fed testers salads dressed with 3, 8, or 20 grams of canola oil (monounsaturated), soybean oil (polyunsaturated), or butter (saturated), each whisked with vinegar and water, and then checked their blood for absorption of key carotenoids such as lutein, lycopene, beta-carotene, and zeaxanthin.
Surprisingly, with both the butter and soybean oil, absorption capabilities increased as the dose sizes got larger, but the canola oil pulled in the same amount of carotenoids at 3, 8, and 20 grams. Translation for lunchtime: You'd have to use a whole lot more of a saturated-fat-based dressing – which would also tack on tons of extra calories – to get the same amount of carotenoids that just a drizzle of a monounsaturated fat–based salad topper could net you.
When shopping for salad dressing, check labels to see which types of fat are used, and go with monounsaturated canola, olive, or almond oil, says Jennifer McDaniel, MS, RD, spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics."Typically, the shorter the ingredients list, the healthier a dressing will be," she says. "Simple vinaigrettes tend to have a nutritional advantage over cream-based options." And steer clear of nonfat dressings: They merely add calories while offering zero health benefits. McDaniel also suggests whipping up your own dressing from ingredients already in your kitchen, such as olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, shallots, and garlic.
If you don't dig dressing, McDaniel says nuts, avocados, and olives are solid monounsaturated fat sources that can easily be tossed in with your greens to aid nutrient delivery, not to mention make them more filling. "Fat is satisfying, so if a salad is your main meal, adding fat will help it stick with you longer," she says.
McDaniel also points out that, along with carotenoids, fat aids absorption of other salad nutrients such as vitamins A, D, E, and K.

1997 vintage of the complex Cragganmore single malt prescribed an out-of-the-ordinary choice for a secondary cask finish. Double matured in Port-wine casks successfully provides the perfectly harmonious partner.
Tasting Notes
The mouth is swamped with fruity flavours of cherries and oranges leading to rich tastes of Port-wine and malt, with lingering smoke. Long finish is breathtaking, with a toffee-sweet start and a dry slightly smoky finish. Intriguingly multi-layered malt.
Cragganmore Distillery
Cragganmore Single Malt Whisky
Cragganmore Distillery in 1869 in the heart of Scotland's Speyside whisky region. This is a malt whisky distillery equipped with four very short stills and is one of the few Scottish malt whisky distilleries that continues to cool its new spirit in traditional worm tubs. The few distillery bottlings including Cragganmore 12 Year Old and Distillers Edition are well enhanced by those of independent bottlers.

Hiroshima 1945: a day in August that changed the world
14-08-2003 Article, Le Temps
Original title: "Regard sur Hiroshima, un mois après la bombe" – Press article by Richard Werly published in "Le Temps" (Switzerland) on 14 August 2003; how the ICRC, focussed on the fate of prisoners, came to learn about the atom bomb attack on Hiroshima, and the action it took.
Since Japan's entry into World War II the fate of Allied prisoners had been a major source of concern for the ICRC. The oriental empire had not ratified the 1929 Geneva Convention protecting POWs, and its martial tradition held that to be captured alive was to bring shame on oneself and one's family. As there were thought to be tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of prisoners – military and civilian – held in places across occupied Asia, there was cause for disquiet; the ICRC had been allowed to visit very few camps.
Thus it was that when the ICRC's new head of delegation in Japan, Dr. Marcel Junod, arrived in the region in the summer of 1945, his primary objective was to obtain increased access to the POWs, and in particular the senior commanders who had been seized during the Japanese victories throughout the Far East. The Japanese authorities had agreed that he could start in the occupied Chinese province of Manchuria, through which Junod traveled by train on his journey from Geneva.
On 6 August, after doggedly insisting, Junod achieved a minor breakthrough: the local Japanese commander in Seihan granted him permission not only to visit the hidden camp where senior Allied officers were held but to speak with one of them - General Wainwright, commander of the defeated American army at Corregidor in the Philippines. It was little more than a brief contact but Junod hoped that it was a step in the right direction.
There was no way for Junod – or anyone else in Manchuria that day – to know that 1,500 kms away, the Japanese city of Hiroshima had been attacked with appalling consequences: around 100,000 killed outright, a similar number horribly injured and much of the city obliterated. (The first foreign journalist to reach the scene, Wilfred Burchett, got there on 3 September.)
Even had he heard of the bombing, its significance might not have been immediately clear – many Japanese cities had come under devastating air attack with incendiary bombs, as the US sought to force the enemy to surrender unconditionally. The likely human cost of a full-blown military invasion was judged by Washington to be unacceptably high, and the new top secret bomb had been tested in New Mexico and declared ready for use…
There are 84 patients in this hospital, with 10 nurses and around 20 students to help them. There is no water, no lavatories, no kitchen.
Thousands of flies cover the wounds and burns; everything is incredibly filthy.
The patients need transfusions; they are bleeding, because of the radioactivity. But there are no blood donors, no treatment…"
On 30 August his deputy, Fritz Bilfinger, was in the area and visited the city. His report to Junod, dramatize d further by its obligatory telegraphic style, made chilling reading: " Conditions appalling - city wiped out eighty per cent - all hospitals destroyed or seriously damaged - inspected two emergency hospitals - conditions beyond description. Effects of bomb mysteriously serious - many victims apparently recovering suddenly suffer fatal relapse due to decomposition white bloodcells… now dying in great numbers.. ." [ Bilfinger's telegram (original) pdf format (67 kb) ] Junod immediately contacted the American command and asked for emergency medical supplies, which he helped to distribute when he visited the stricken city a few days later – the first foreign doctor to set foot there after the catastrophe. He noted: " The city centre had been flattened like the palm of a hand. Nothing left. It was horrific. "
Later he was to write: " I have no doubt about it: the world is today confronted with a choice – to continue to exist, or to be annihilated if that bomb is used again… "

I begin every morning by feeding the bottle babies, opening the coop, putting wood in the stove, and feeding and watering the chickens and the pigs. This time of year I also check on the goats to see if any kidded overnight. After checking on those in the pasture closest to our house, I walk to the other side of the farm and check on the goats there.
Last week I captured two beautiful sunrises over the more distant pasture. These were taken on consecutive days. The photos don't do them justice, but they at least hint at how glorious they were.

The jackpot prize in the Kaun Banega Crorepati 2013 will be Rs. 7 crore and participants will have to answer 15 questions to win the whopping prize money.
|Sapta Koti Sandook - KBC 7 Ghar Baithe Jeeto Jackpot 2013 Phone a friend
The popular game show Kaun Banega Crorepati, hosted by megastar Amitabh Bachchan, is back and this time it's bigger and better.
The jackpot prize in the Kaun Banega Crorepati 2013 will be Rs .7 crore and participants will have to answer 15 questions to win the whopping prize money.
There will be four questions in the new feature Sapta koti sandook that will let contestants win from Rs. 1 crore to Rs. 3 crore, Rs. 5 crore and finally Rs. 7 crore.
Entering the hot seat has become more challenging as 'Fastest finger first' round has been modified. It will now be called 'Best out of three'.
That's not all. Five, instead of four, lifelines will help contestants to reach closer to prize money. While "audience poll" and "phone a friend" will continue as lifelines, "flip the question" will return in place of "ask the expert". "50:50" will replace "double dip". The latest addition is "power paplu". It will help to revive any used lifeline.
The show, which has "seekhna bandh toh jeetna bandh" as central theme, will go on air on Sony Entertainment Television Sep 6.
Along with modifications in the game, the show's set has also been changed.
"It has been shifted from Filmcity in Goregaon here to Yash Raj Films studio in Andheri West. The infrastructure is better. In Filmcity, if it rains hard you have to stop shooting. If generator can't take load, then also you have to stop," Siddhartha Basu, chairman and managing director of Big Synergy Media Ltd., told IANS.

The holiday season means lots of fun, celebrations, parties and treats in schools across the country. Everyone looks forward to these events, but it's important to keep in mind children who have food-related allergies. Extreme reactions to food allergens can spoil holiday enjoyment for kids, so take steps to ensure food allergic children don't come in contact with trigger foods.
All states have laws governing how schools protect students and employees with allergies and asthma, but these laws vary from state to state. Some have comprehensive public policies supporting people with asthma, food allergies, anaphylaxis risk and related allergic disease, and those states are recognized by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America's (AAFA) State Honor Roll of Asthma and Allergy Policies for Schools. AAFA's State Honor Roll identifies how states either excel or don't yet make-the-grade for these policies. Check out what laws and policies have been established in your state at www.StateHonorRoll.org.
Also keep the guidelines from your state in mind as you purchase or make treats for your child's classroom, from Halloween all the way to Valentine's Day:
* Check with the classroom teacher and the school first about foods that should not be brought into the school building. Some children have extreme allergies, such as to peanuts, and can react to minimum contact like touching a door handle that had been previously touched by someone handling something with nuts. Any food can cause an allergic reaction, but milk, soy, eggs, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, fish and shellfish allergies are some of the most common. If purchasing a snack, read the ingredients list carefully, and double check it against the allergy list provided by the school.
* When preparing the foods – or shopping at the grocery store – make certain the items you'll be taking to the classroom don't come in contact with foods that are barred from the school. This includes washing pots, pans and utensils thoroughly before blending ingredients when baking at home.
* If your child has been diagnosed with a food allergy, consider making special treats he can enjoy without worrying about the snacks containing the foods he's allergic to. Also develop an allergy action plan with your child's doctor, teacher and the school nurse. A free asthma/allergy action card is available from AAFA on the State Honor Roll website, which helps you outline what foods to avoid, what medications to keep (an epinephrine auto-injector is the best first-line emergency treatment), what to do in case of emergencies, who to contact and more. The AAFA site also has many other pages of free information and tips about food allergies.
Encourage your children to enjoy special treat time at school. But also encourage them to be aware that some of their classmates may have serious reactions if they are to come in contact with certain foods. And when preparing a special treat for the classroom, keep food allergies at the forefront of your thoughts, and the celebration will be much more fun for everyone since children with food allergies won't have to worry about the foods they're eating.

For seven seasons, fans have lived vicariously through the bed-hopping, globe-trotting Hollywood adventures of movie star Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier) and his loyal gang of friends, family, and business associates (Kevin Connolly, Kevin Dillon, Jerry Ferrara, and Jeremy Piven).
But every party has to end.
The eighth and final season of "Entourage" kicks off this Sunday night on HBO, and in order to make sure you hit the ground running, we've got exactly what you need to know going in. Because no one wants to be the "Turtle" of their crew.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
8. It's a Big Bow-Out, Just Not a Long One
The eighth season of "Entourage" is a "shortened" season, meaning the life and times of Vincent Chase will be wrapped up in a scant eight episodes. That leaves little time to wrap up all the loose ends, so definitely expect to either be disappointed that some things or left hanging, or accepting of some ambiguity.
7. Vince is Dry, Determined
Last season, "Entourage" took a dark turn as Vincent spiraled into drug abuse and reckless behavior - how many other shows' cliffhangers involve the main character getting busted for cocaine possession after being beaten up by Eminem and his posse? But at the start of this new season, Vince is fresh from rehab, clean and sober. He also reveals that he's been spending his dry days writing himself a new script project, which he is consumed with making a reality. But the real tension of the new season will be build around Chase's new found cleanliness, and how long it can possibly last in after-party after after-party.
6. They Gang Will Not Go Quietly
Once HBO started promoting the final season, they did so with the kind of nostalgic eye that suggested that everyone involved was happy to walk off into the sunset. But that's not the case. In a recent "Today" interview, the cast admitted that they were canceled, and that none of them were onboard with the decision. They also confirmed rumors that creator Doug Ellin is, in fact, actively working on a movie as a way to extend the story.
5. Mrs. Ari Has a Name
Eight episodes is a short window indeed, but one mystery will absolutely be resolved: The name of Ari Gold's (Piven) long-suffering wife, who has gone by nothing more than "Mrs. Ari" for seven seasons. Piven confirmed that the mystery will be solved in the first few episodes, adding that it was the idea of actress Perrey Reeves to go nameless for so long.
4. The Diceman Cometh
"Entourage" has established itself as the perfect show for celebrities to come on and poke fun at themselves, earn some cred, or revive a waning celebrity profile (or some combination of all three). Celebs as diverse as Val Kilmer, Lenny Kravitz, John Cleese, Mark Cuban, and porn star Sasha Grey have breezed through Chase's life, and season eight opens with Johnny Drama (Dillon) teaming up with infamous comedian Andrew "Dice" Clay on an animated series called "Johnny's Bananas." Their partnership does not go smoothly.
3. "Johnny's Bananas: The Series"?
Speaking of Drama's simian alter ego, Ellin has been quoted saying he would love to launch the animated in-joke as a spin-off series. Animators from "The Simpsons" and "Family Guy" were hired to design Drama's new venture, and Ellin would like nothing more than to make it a recurring gig. HBO, he claims, would be the first place he'd shop it, of course.
2. Ari Will Be Humbled
Agent Ari Gold is a pitbull who will do, say, and strong-arm anything he can do seal a deal, without caring about the damage his leaves in his wake. In a recent Vancouver Sun interview, Piven suggests that season eight will give fans a much different Ari:
"I think the wife may have had it. I think Ari Gold's methods may be completely unsound and he can be a blow-hard and reckless. And now the things that matter most to him are being taken away," says Piven. "As an actor to play a guy like that who's been brought to his knees -- you dream of that as an actor. I couldn't be happier. A lot of stuff that Ari has put out there to the universe is going to come back to haunt him."
1. This:
Everything else you need to know is in this official season eight trailer:
Now slick that hair back, get yourself a sharp suit, and get ready for the party. Season eight of "Entourage" kicks off Sunday night at 10:30 PM ET on HBO.

Cardinals' Great George Kissell Hurt in Tampa Bay Car Accident
Longtime St. Louis Cardinals official George Kissell was in critical condition Tuesday after being injured in a traffic accident.
Kissell's daughter was driving her parents in a 2002 Chevrolet at about 7:45 p.m. Monday when she apparently ran a red light and was struck by another car, police Capt. Sanfield Forseth said.
The 88-year-old Kissell was in a Tampa hospital Tuesday with life-threatening injuries, police said. His daughter, Karolyn Kidwell, 58, was treated and released.
Kissell's wife, Virginia, was also in the vehicle, but Forseth had no information on whether she had been hurt. The driver of the second vehicle, 27-year-old Stacy Lehart of St. Petersburg, had minor injuries.
Kissell has been with the Cardinals organization since 1940. He was a major-league coach from 1969 to 1975 and is currently a senior field coordinator for player development.
"We learned late last night of the accident and we've reached out to the family," John Mozeliak, the team's vice president and general manager, said in a statement. "And at this time our thoughts and prayers are with him during this difficult time."
Kidwell hasn't been charged.
This photo was actually taken at the old St Louis Cardinals Spring Training site, which is the Tampa Bay Rays' Spring Training site since their inception into the major leagues

Soap starved, I have become obsessed with the Kardashians. Every day, I can't wait to see what's happening with the three sisters whose IQs combined don't top mine. But never mind that. Their lives are filled with romance, glamour, strum and drang, not to mention heavy make-up: things soaps once brought me on a daily basis. Some days I'm convinced their mother Kris is going to peel off her face, revealing the woman who plays her — Linda Dano!
The Kardashians (E! Television Network, repeated endlessly throughout the week as Keeping Up With the Kardashians and Kim and Kourtney Take New York) have close family ties — a staple of soaps, with [Read more…]

At a party, we're having dinner and talking about what we enjoy eating for breakfast. One of my companions waxes rhapsodic about the pancakes at Malcolm's Deli. "They're thick and fluffy," she croons, then – lifting up her (now-empty) dinner plate – adds, "And they're this big."
That was stimulus enough for me. As you might know, breakfast is my most beloved meal of the day and weekends are a time when it becomes extra special. Pancakes are a particular favorite for me probably because they remind me of cake. I also adore pancakes because I never knew that there were so many ways to eat them. I enjoy the pancake sandwich at Pancake House and I make a mean oven pancake. Of course, plain pancakes are anything but, especially when they're hit with a shimmering stream of syrup, maple, but most often, otherwise.
At Malcolm's, they call their pancakes hotcakes, and you can get the eponymous Malcolm's Stack (3 hotcakes, P280) or the Mini Stack (2 hotcakes, P230). I order the former and they are indeed, as my dinner companion mentioned, as large as a dinner – er, breakfast – plate. As promised on the menu, the pancakes come with their requisite partners of syrup and butter, but the butter is a cold block so I need to make do with butter bits as opposed to spreading it evenly. This is not ideal but it's not bothersome either.
My first thought upon first bite is how delicious powdered sugar is on pancakes. Yes, I know I've smeared it with syrup already but the sugar shaken on the pancakes prior to serving isn't just aesthetically pretty, it adds a varying component of sweetness. Very nice. The pancakes themselves are some of the best of their kind: golden-brown and glowing with a crumb that almost falls in on itself, it's so soft but still firm enough to stand up to syrup and the prodding of a fork.
One thing I must say however is that these pancakes may suffer from too much baking soda. Some bites yield a sudden and unpleasant metallic tang, an indicator of an excess of this leavener, as indicated also by the very large holes on the pancakes' surface. Baking soda is used to "lift" and lighten batters, making them tender, and is responsible for their nice golden color. This is not to say that these pancakes are inedible, heck, I'll recommend them to anyone; this is just a slight hitch is all, and on the day I visit, someone in the kitchen might've been off with their measurements.
If you're not a pancake person like I am, there are plenty of other options (P300/set) such as the eggs done your way paired with sides of bacon or a whole lot of Wagyu in links, tapa, or corned beef. What you see in the photo above is the Wagyu Corned Beef set. It reminds me of a classier version of the tapa in Tapsi ni Vivian, as it's very tender and robustly beefy.
Malcolm's also has omelets, French toast, healthier options like smoothies and oatmeal, and five – count 'em, five – kinds of eggs Benedict (all P300) on its menu. Like any breakfast fanatic, eggs Ben is a benchmark for any breakfast place worth its eggs. Though I consider the variants with Wagyu corned beef (Irish eggs Ben), the one with mushrooms and sautéed beef (Malcolm's eggs Ben), etc., I decide to stick to their version of the Classic with Canadian bacon, spinach, and onion. The eggs aren't poached as skillfully as their counterparts at say, Apt. 1B – stringy edges, thisclose to overcooked, and the hollandaise sauce is a tad watery, but it's all an honest effort and I appreciate that. The memorable thing about Malcolm's eggs Ben is the ingenious addition of sautéed shallots. It cuts through the creaminess and cloy of eggs and sauce, clearing the palate for more.
Hmm, I've just gotten a text message that the pancakes at Charlie's Grind & Grill are "… heavy but lovely and buttermilk-tangy." Guess I'll be having those soon.
Malcolm's Deli

Breakfast available from Monday-Friday, 7am-11am.
On Saturday and Sunday, breakfast is served all day (and night!) from 7am-11pm.

Prolog message queue
By Yves on Thursday 29 January 2009, 12:19 - Permalink
It's been a long time since I last posted anything here, but things have been pretty hectic recently (I am a doctor, now!! I'll post my thesis here soon).
I've just hacked a really small implementation of an HTTP-driven SWI-Prolog message queue. I've often find myself doing quite expensive computation in Prolog and the best way to easily distribute it is to have a message queue on which you post messages to process (in that case, Prolog terms), and a pool of workers pick messages and process them. Then, if you find your program is still too slow, you can easily add a couple of workers to help going faster.
