I just came back on after several years away and notice that everything has changed. There are no star ratings for users, I can't pull up my old comments, some of my old reviews are missing. I still love reading some old reviews now and then and don't care about the ranking system, but I wanted to read some of the old reviews I may have commented on just because.
I've been surfing M3C for about a year now. I've posted a few reviews and I've replied to a lot more. Among the reviews that I've read, I've come across a lot of the same issues and I thought that I would give a bit of advice to the new posters out there.
Don't write angry. When you come home after having a lousy experience, don't automatically hop on to M3C to tell the world. I will guarantee you that you will only sound like a raving lunatic. Take a walk, blow off some steam, sleep on it. Do whatever you have to do to calm yourself down. Then, if you still feel the need to write the review, go ahead. Hopefully, the time that has elapsed between your experience and writing the review will allow you to gain a bit of perspective and allow you to write a fair and accurate one.
Use good grammar and spelling whenever possible. Everyone has the occasional typo or run-on sentence. I know my grammar isn't perfect either, but I try to read my review before I post so that some of the more obvious errors will be flushed out. Some of the long-time members here can be a little harsh when it comes to the blatant stuff (not that that excuses them).
Give details. Just saying that the food at Joe's Hamburger Stand sucks, the service is slow and the waitresses are rude is not enough. You need to describe exactly what was so bad about the food, how long it took them to give you service and what exactly the servers did that you perceive as rude.
Leave the race card in the deck. It doesn't matter if your review is clear, precise and grammatically correct. The minute you mention that the person who offended you was black, white, Asian or purple with green spots; you will lose all credibility with other people on this site.
Try not to be offended by the people who reply to your post. On the same token, try not to offend people when you post on their reviews. Don't call people names and don't get upset if people don't agree with you. Just as you are entitled to your opinion, others are entitled to theirs. If you don't like it, turn off replies in the options. That way you won't be offended.
OK, that's all I have right now. If anyone else has some tips, please post them below. I promise not to be offended! :)
Good advice. Thanks for sharing!
My3Cents.com does the Internet community a great disservice by accepting and publishing anonymous complaints. This opens the door for every kind of foul play and criminal activity. Among other things, it give disreputable the opportunity to slur their competitors and perceived enemies with being held accountable for their claims.
If someone will not give their name when complaining, they have no right to have their complaint published, especially when they are trashing the reputation of good citizens and legitimate businesses. At the very least, My3Cents.com should make it just as easy for someone to respond to a complaint against them as it is for a complaint to be filed. That is only fair. Without an opportunity for a response, My3Cents is just publishing one side of the story, and becomes party to spurious, unfounded complaints.
The complaint filed against me and broadcast by My3Cents.com is false and injurious to my reputation. The issue in the complaint was reviewed by both the Northeast Florida Better Business Bureau and the Consumer Complaints Division of the State of Florida and found to have no merit. Those reviews are a matter of public record and anyone interested can read them.
In my professional opinion, the person who filed the complaint against me is mentally and emotionally disturbed. I invite anyone to go to my website ** and check out my academic record and 20-year reputation as a career counselor, then compare that to the ridiculous anonymous complaint filed against me.
I respectfully ask that My3Cents.com remove the complaint on their website. Note that it dates to 2002 and the complainant did not give his name. For the record, his name is **, and if you will contact me, I will provide copies of the professional work I performed for him and leave it to you to decide if the quality meets professional standards.
DAYTON, OHIO -- I run operations for a small business in which we have storage available for people who would like to store things! We have indoor storage as well as outdoor storage for things such as campers, RVs, boats, etc. Well here is the problem... this past Saturday, we had a violent storm roll through our area, and lightning "supposedly" struck somewhere on our property, causing our electronic gate to malfunction. In other words, it is totally fried. The technician came out who represents the fencing company we use and looked at the gate and said he would be able to order another circuit board of some sort to where we would be up and running within the week.
He called us this morning to inform that what we supposedly need is discontinued! Therefore, he said we could possibly claim it on insurance to get a whole new system installed. What we have now is a card reader system (HID Corporation), to where you just tap the card against the reader, and the gate will open automatically.
Well supposedly now, we have to get a whole "upgraded" system. It doesn't affect me as much as of course the owner (my aunt). She's so mad, I think she's going to go hostile and destroy anything and everything in her path. So now, when a tenant comes in to check on their storage, they have to "manually" open the gate up and close it behind them when they are done. It just doesn't look professional at all on our part, and we need to get this problem fixed ASAP. Does anybody have any suggestions on what to do here? I just didn't know if anyone on here runs business or has had any problem of similarity in the past, or knows anyone with a problem like this.
I had to go through our entire index of tenants and call every single person to inform them of the situation, which took around three hours to do. We are working massive overtime just to overlook that nobody breaks in or tries to do anything of that nature. Any pointers would be fine and dandy!
I think this website has shown us what people are made of. This is people's outlet to complain. Listen to all the people whining about their horrible problems like, "I didn't get greeted with a smile or a hello when I walked into Wal-Mart." I know what kind of people write complaints on this site because my family has owned a retail store for 25 years. Even after all these years it amazes me how high everyone's expectations always are. It's obvious that retail stores will never be able to meet people's expectations, which is why sites like this exist.
I have heard people complain because their merchandise took too long to get here. I've heard people complain because their merchandise came in too fast and they were not ready for it. The main thing I have learned is that consumers DO NOT LISTEN! We tell every customer the same thing when a sale is complete about returns, delivery, policies. But people always demand that we told them something different, or that we promised something totally different than what we tell every customer.
I have read many complaints on this site and it really upsets me how impossible our business has become. I hate going to work sometimes because I know I will get cussed out or yelled at or accused of something by a customer. We have so many people who show up to work every day and work so hard to make people happy and keep people satisfied, but I know they feel like they are trying their hardest for no reason. Customers are relentless many times and make employees feel so bad, usually for no reason other than to throw their weight around and show that they are in charge.
Please consider that businesses are made up of people just like you, who have good days and bad days. People who are doing their best to make sure you are taken care of. Also consider when you are complaining about policies and rules that, businesses had to create all of those policies and rules because of people who complain and try to take advantage of businesses. That's my 3 cents!
Why is it so necessary to belittle people about spelling and grammar? I find it usually happens when there is nothing else to say. Some post/reviews are just bad and are so bad that it needs to be pointed out. These are not the prime reason that it is done. We have all done it, yes me as well and I am not above it as many think they are. There is not one among us who hasnt been caught doing it and I mean telling someone else they did it or caught in the act of using bad grammar and misspelling words.
I see it when and this to me is the most offensive, when people cant use their brain to see through the misspelled words or the wrong grammar to understand what is being said. Then the stupid comments start: why dont you use a spell checker? Well spell checkers dont always work the way we think they should. Then, you must go back to school and the person saying that should learn what respect means. It goes on and on you all know what I am talking about and I know this will have little to no effect on this at all but I just wanted to say it.
When I see this being done by people that think spelling and grammar is the be all and end all to communication, I see small-minded people that would never make it out in the real word. There are so many different dialects, slang, and ways to spell things. Its not funny and thats just the English language. Most of the grammar I see on here would not work if we were to use the Kings English and most people would be beat to tears if confronted with people that use the kings English.
I see a lot of the so called, self proclaimed SMART PEOPLE on here who think they know a person by what they type and how they type it, I see them type big smart sounding sentences that I can google up in a heart beat and the same people want to say they know you are plagiarizing.
I could go on but if you dont get the meaning of what I am saying then maybe you need to go out in the world and experience it for yourself. Some people will never get it and will always equate intelligence with the only ability they have, they can spell but havent a clue how to communicate. Please respect other members when posting your message. Thanks!
It seems My3Cents administrators have taken it upon themselves to decide what you can and cannot believe and/or talk about. Today on the community forum one of them decided to delete comments about God and Jesus Christ. I for one dont care if you are a believer or not. I will not condone nor condemn a person for their own personal belief. But I will fight you to hell as gate to defend my right and yours to say what you believe and not have it edited.
Here are a few of the comments and at the end the letter I wrote. Please read and remember the point here is to be able to speak what you believe, within their rules and this was well within their rules. Thank you.
Stew (03/03/2007) I'm a strict creationist so lidman your use of the word evolve is troublesome. You may spit on the bible and want to spend eternity in Hades but don't expect the rest of us to follow down your Darwin trail of doom. Lidman, why do you mock the lord?
Lidman (03/03/2007) Then Stew you should read the book and start at the beginning: Genesis contains the historical presupposition and basis of the national religious ideas and institutions of Israel, and serves as an introduction to its history, laws, and customs. And learn that Jesus is your Lord and savor.
Stew (03/03/2007) Well Liddy, it seems proclaiming Jesus as your Lord kind of conflicts with one of the ten commandments. "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; you shall have no other gods before me." Seems pretty simple to me so please don't hang your Christ on me... as I said before I'm not following you to Hades. Lidman, why do you want stew to burn in hell?
Lidman (03/03/2007) Stew you must let go of your stupidity that man has taught you and open your mind to God. It is written, " Your thoughts are not my thought's and your ways are not my ways. So how can a man come before the Father except by way of the Son" -- GOD
The letter I wrote:
To whom it may concern, On the community forum "Another star project" By Stew there were comments deleted that were not only within your rules but were of a very personal believe of mine and who ever did this had no right what so ever to delete these! These comments made reference to God and Jesus Christ yet, someone took it apron them self's to get rid of just these comments. I demand you reinstate these comments with an apology for deleting them in the first place. You have crossed a line and I find it very offensive and a directed violation of my right to free speech as a citizen of the USA. What do you think?
This review was and is resolved thanks to the Admin and my self. Why do people like chow and HappyASAclam want to start trouble I don't know but if you must carry on. This REVIEW IS RESOLVED.
INTERNET -- Several months ago I joined MY3CENTS and was supposed to get a password verification e-mailed to me. It never came. When I try to get a new account it says that my e-mail already has an account and it asks if I would like the password e-mailed to me. Of course I say yes but the e-mail never comes. I have tried at least 5 different times but never receive the promised e-mail. I also check my spam folder but nothing there either. There is a problem somewhere and I don't think it is on my end. What's up guys?
When I first came to this website it was to write a review about an experience I had at a Sonic Drive In. For reasons that I don't understand, commenting was blocked on it by the admin. A few judged me for my thoughts, but right or wrong I know it's an easy thing for people to do. Aside from that I have noticed when reading reviews that the bulk of the commenter's here are extremely knowledgeable and most times helpful. Especially when posting contact information to help the author resolve their issue.
Not sure why people can't do that on their own, but it is good to see that there are others here willing to do it for them. And it's nice to see those who have a firm grasp on life and finances offering their advice to those who appear to be less fortunate. I've read some comments that flat made me laugh, and humor is always a good thing as well.
Overall this website seems to be helpful and enjoyable with a great group of knowledgeable people willing to help others. I sure enjoy it. I have learned some things.
I first found My3Cents a couple of years ago and was a regular visitor. That is, until I had a reason to post a complaint and was "ripped to shreds" so to speak over the complaint reason, why I felt I had a complaint and so on. Needless to say, I didn't return for a long time.
A month or so ago, I thought I'd check it out again to see what was going on. I must say that I was very impressed with the change in the tone of comments given to various posts. No longer did I see the barbs, sarcastic remarks and things that led to my not visiting the site for a while.
I would like to thank and commend those of you who post comments to posts on this board. It is refreshing to see such polite and professional responses. That's not to say that there hasn't been some tough criticism of some of the complaints posted, but even then, it is done in a polite manner. So, to those of you who post comments and replies, I say "Thank You". You make this board enjoyable to visit!

campaign that promotes South Dakota as
CNBC's No. 1 State for Business.
The campaign, which was created with the
help of Lawrence and Schiller agency in
Sioux Falls, will run from January 2014 to
June 2014. It consists of print ads,
billboards and airport advertising.
"We are really excited about this campaign.
Being declared the best state in the United
States for business is definitely a message
we want to share with companies
considering a new location," said
Commissioner Pat Costello. "We are
constantly on the lookout for new ways to
promote ourselves, and this campaign will
go a long way in using this distinction to its
fullest potential."
Print ads will run through the course of the
campaign in Bloomberg Business Week, Entrepreneur, FAST Company, Forbes, Fortune,
and Money. One-time bonus ads will also run in January in Sports Illustrated, The Week,
Times, and Bloomberg Business Week.
Billboards will go up in four locations viewable to drivers entering South Dakota, and similar
ads will be placed in the Minneapolis and Chicago airports.

Very good looking shoes
"I got these shoes for my husband online and got a great deal when I applied my coupons. I was a little unsure about the steel detail, but when it came, the steel part was just right, not too shiny just like it is in the picture. The shoe looks very sophisticated and stylish. The leather is soft. My husband has wide feet and wears a 10.5-11, so I ordered an 11, but it is big so I need to go down 1/2 size. But the width is good. I think they'll be comfy and long lasting. Definitely recommend!"

This devoted family man who used to be an A+ list mostly movie actor has probably dropped to B+ list
. Foreign born. Didn't spend the holiday weekend with his family because he was too busy with his new girlfriend.
Banderas—I knew this one but was Kristin distracted me on the other post rambling on about Britney Spears Crazy videoReplyCancel
Russel CroweReplyCancel
Not ban eras..old news..they are divorcingReplyCancel
Javier bard em
She only papped alne for a while
Why would this be a blind about Banderas?ReplyCancel
@Rose—just because he is in the process of a divorce does not mean he should not spend time with his family (children etc)—it says nothing about cheating or ignoring a current wife…ReplyCancel
Because Banderas, prior to this new girlfriend, was being ultra catholic and fronting the sanctity of family while his people seeped info about what a cross he was bearing with unstable Melanie.ReplyCancel
Sorry ^ at Rose Liz- maybe the hypocrisy got to Enty and that is why it got posted? ; DReplyCancel
penelope cruz and bardem were just photo'd at beach on vacation putting sunscreen on each otherReplyCancel
@derek – but I would hardly describe Antonio Banderas as a "devoted family man." Nor do I think Enty would describe him that way. I dunno. Just my two cents 🙂ReplyCancel
@Steampunk – no apologies necessary!! you and derek may be completely right 🙂ReplyCancel
Candyland–i ate one of the pizzas on July 4th for lunch. It was soooo good and I almost couldn't finish it (but I did undercook it slightly.) Ill be buying more on my own in the future after I eat my other one.ReplyCancel
We've had this blind before during the last holiday.I predict he'll spend next holiday with the girlfriend as well.and the one after that etc etc.ReplyCancel
If he is foreign born, why would he care about the 4th of July anyway?ReplyCancel
@James oh God we'd probably have Lady Goop and Grand Dame Beyonce. Can titles be taken away?ReplyCancel
oooh I'm gonna be a little crazy here and go with Chris Hemsworth!
I don't fully understand the Enterns half the time, but I suspect this dude lives in the US. LA was insane on the 4th of July. It was one massive party all along the southern coast. Don't need to be born in the US tool enjoy some grilled grub, alcohol and explosions!
Example: Chris Hemsworth could fit most of this BI except ranking, though to be honest I think he's only A+ when Thor & Avengers movies are released.ReplyCancel
clive owen??ReplyCancel
Er, yeah, it'd have to be foreign born living in the US (poss. married to an American woman) for the Independence Day holiday weekend to mean anything.ReplyCancel
Heresy @Sunny! I liked the latest Wolverine. It's not meant to be Shakespeare. Rila Fukushima (Yukio) was kick ass. Hey maybe Yukio and Hit Girl should team up. I'd definitely watch that!ReplyCancel
If Antonio wanted his fireworks with Sharon Stone rather than his busy kids, ess okay.ReplyCancel
I don't see Javier put up as poster boy for father of the year, Clive on the other hand. He was at some party in London and the women were all over him like flies. He seemed to be enjoying it, a lot. He was probably glad Gerard Butler did not show up though he was on the list. It would be sad if it was Clive. He has the new series The Knick coming up which I will be watching.ReplyCancel
I wonder if this foreign born actor is filming something in the US hence the reference to the holiday weekend.ReplyCancel
Russell Crowe is a good guess, I am not sure Clive has ever been considered A+ReplyCancel
Eric Bana? He's been here promoting his new scary movie while his family is in Melbourne. Chelsea Handler was throwing herself at him on her show and he was kinda flirtyReplyCancel
clive was oscar nominatedReplyCancel

Elastic IP addresses are static IP addresses designed for dynamic cloud computing. An Elastic IP address is associated with your account, not a particular instance, and you control that address until you choose to explicitly release it. Unlike traditional static IP addresses, however, Elastic IP addresses allow you to mask instance or availability zone failures by programmatically remapping your public IP addresses to any instance associated with your account. Rather than waiting on a data technician to reconfigure or replace your host, or waiting for DNS to propagate to all of your customers, Amazon EC2 enables you to engineer around problems with your instance or software by programmatically remapping your Elastic IP address to a replacement instance.
- EC2 Private IP Address: The internal RFC 1918 address of an instance that is only routable within the EC2 Cloud. Network traffic originating outside the EC2 network cannot route to this IP, and must use the Public IP or Elastic IP Address mapped to the instance.
- EC2 Public IP Address: Internet routable IP address assigned by the system for all instances. Traffic routed to the Public IP is translated via 1:1 Network Address Translation (NAT) and forwarded to the Private IP address of an instance. The mapping of a Public IP to Private IP of an instance is the default launch configuration for all instance types. Public IP Addresses are no longer usable upon instance termination.
- EC2 Elastic IP Address: Internet routable IP address allocated to an AWS EC2 account. Similar to EC2 Public Address, 1:1 NAT is used to map Elastic IP Addresses with their associated Private IP addresses. Unlike a standard EC2 Public IP Address, Elastic IP Addresses are allocated to accounts and can be remapped to other instances when desired.
Before you begin, make sure you are using the right versions of our WSDL, API Tools, and API:
- WSDL and API version: 2008-02-01 or later
- API Tools: 1.3-19403 2008-02-01
Note: You can check version information using the ec2ver command.
Allocating an Elastic IP Addresses for Account
The ec2-allocate-address command assigns an EC2 Elastic IP Address to an account. An Elastic IP address is associated with an account and billed accordingly until the address is released using ec2-release-address command.
This example allocates a new address for the account:
ec2-allocate-address ADDRESS 184.108.40.206
Describing Elastic IP Addresses for Account
After allocating an address, use ec2-describe-addresses to view the addresses allocated to the account. The IP parameter specifies the IP(s) to describe. If unspecified, all addresses allocated are returned.
This example shows that two Elastic IPs are allocated to the account:
ec2-describe-addresses ADDRESS 220.127.116.11 ADDRESS 22.214.171.124 ec2-describe-addresses 184.108.40.206 ADDRESS 188.8.131.52
Associating an Elastic IP Address with a Running Instance
Once an Elastic IP Address is allocated, you can map it to a running instance. Use ec2-describe-instances to select the instance ID of a running instance and use ec2-associate-address to create the mapping.
ec2-describe-instances RESERVATION r-ae33c2c7 924417782495 default INSTANCE i-b2e019da ami-2bb65342 ec2-72-44-33-67.compute-1.amazonaws.com ip-10-251-71-165.ec2.internal running gsg-keypair 0 m1.small 2008-03-03T23:09:09+0000 us-east-1a INSTANCE i-b2e019db ami-2bb65342 ec2-67-202-3-83.compute-1.amazonaws.com ip-10-251-47-36.ec2.internal running gsg-keypair 1 m1.small 2008-03-03T23:09:09+0000 us-east-1a ec2-describe-addresses ADDRESS 22.214.171.124
This example associates the Elastic IP 22.214.171.124 with instance ID i-b2e019da:
ec2-associate-address -i i-b2e019da 22.214.171.124 ADDRESS 126.96.36.199 i-b2e019da
The ec2-associate-address call is processed by the EC2 Cloud. This will take a few minutes to complete.
After a successful call to ec2-associate-address, you will see the new IP associated with his instance by using ec2-describe-addresses.
ec2-describe-addresses ADDRESS 22.214.171.124 i-b2e019da ec2-describe-instances i-b2e019da RESERVATION r-ae33c2c7 924417782495 default INSTANCE i-b2e019da ami-2bb65342 ec2-75-101-157-145.compute-1.amazonaws.com ip-10-251-71-165.ec2.internal running gsg-keypair 0 m1.small 2008-03-03T23:09:09+0000 us-east-1a
In most cases, this will typically take less than a few minutes from when you
instruct us to remap the Elastic IP.
Note: Instances only have one Internet routable IP address. When an Elastic IP is associated to an instance, the instance's existing Public IP address mapping is removed and is no longer valid for this instance.
Associating an Elastic IP Address with a Different Running Instance
You might want to remap the Elastic IP to another instance.
In this example the account has two instances running i-b2e019da and i-b2e019db. The following example remaps Elastic IP Address 18.104.22.168 from the current instance ID i-b2e019da (completed above) to instance ID i-b2e019db.
ec2-describe-addresses ADDRESS 18.104.22.168 i-b2e019da ec2-associate-address -i i-b2e019db 188.8.131.52 ADDRESS 22.214.171.124 i-b2e019db
Once the system updates have completed, network traffic sent to the Elastic IP 126.96.36.199 will be 1:1 NAT'd and sent to the internal IP of the instance i-b2e019db.
ec2-describe-addresses ADDRESS 188.8.131.52 i-b2e019db
The instance i-b2e019da no longer has a Public IP Address because the Elastic IP was removed to remap it to another instance. This means that the instance is no longer reachable from the internet. However, the instance is still reachable from within the cloud via the Private IP Address.
ec2-describe-instances RESERVATION r-ae33c2c7 924417782495 default INSTANCE i-b2e019da ami-2bb65342 <<BLANK>> ip-10-251-71-165.ec2.internal running gsg-keypair 0 m1.small 2008-03-03T23:09:09+0000 us-east-1a INSTANCE i-b2e019db ami-2bb65342 ec2-75-101-157-145.compute-1.amazonaws.com ip-10-251-47-36.ec2.internal running gsg-keypair 1 m1.small 2008-03-03T23:09:09+0000 us-east-1a
In the background, a process is running that will re-configure another Public IP address for the instance. This process can take a few minutes and, when complete, the ec2-describe-instances returns the updated information and the instance will again be reachable from the internet on this newly assigned Public IP.
ec2-describe-instances RESERVATION r-ae33c2c7 924417782495 default INSTANCE i-b2e019da ami-2bb65342 ec2-67-202-46-87.compute-1.amazonaws.com ip-10-251-71-165.ec2.internal running gsg-keypair 0 m1.small 2008-03-03T23:09:09+0000 us-east-1a INSTANCE i-b2e019db ami-2bb65342 ec2-75-101-157-145.compute-1.amazonaws.com ip-10-251-47-36.ec2.internal running gsg-keypair 1 m1.small 2008-03-03T23:09:09+0000 us-east-1a
Note: There is no guarantee that an instance will be configured with its original Public IP address that existed prior to being mapped. In fact, it is highly likely that you will receive a totally different Public IP address.
Terminating running Instance Having an Associated Elastic IP
Calling ec2-terminate-instance first disassociates the Elastic IP from the instance and then completes the termination process. Upon completion of this call, the Elastic IP will be in an unmapped state and, if not associated to another instance, will be charged for each full hour not mapped to a running instance.
Disassociating an Elastic IP Address from Running Instance
To remove the current mapping of the Elastic IP, use the ec2-disassociate-address command.
This example shows the current mapping, removes the mapping, and then confirms the mapping was removed.
ec2-describe-addresses ADDRESS 22.214.171.124 i-b2e019db ec2-disassociate-address 18.104.22.168 ADDRESS 126.96.36.199 ec2-describe-addresses ADDRESS 220.127.116.11
Upon completion of this call the Elastic IP will be in an unmapped state. Elastic IP addresses will accrue a charge for each full hour the address is not attached/mapped to an instance.
Releasing an Elastic IP Addresses from Account
To release an Elastic IP from an account use ec2-release-address. The IP parameter specifies the Elastic IP Address to be released.
This example shows the existing Elastic IP on the account, releases it, and confirms the release:
ec2-describe-addresses ADDRESS 126.96.36.199 ec2-release-address 22.214.171.124 ADDRESS 220.127.116.11 ec2-describe-addresses <BLANK>
If the ec2-release-address command is called while an Elastic IP is mapped to an instance, the system first removes the current mapping to an instance ID, and then removes the Elastic IP from the account. After releasing an Elastic IP address, you cannot get it back.
Elastic IP Addresses Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why am I limited to 5 Elastic IP addresses? Why am I charged when my Elastic IP address is not associated with an instance?
Public (IPV4) internet addresses are a scarce resource. There is only a limited amount of public IP space available, and Amazon EC2 is committed to helping use that space efficiently.
By default, all accounts are limited to 5 Elastic IP addresses. If you need
more than 5 Elastic IP addresses, we ask that you apply for your limit to be
raised. We will ask you to think through your use case and help us understand
your need for additional addresses. You can apply for more
Elastic IP addresses here.
In order to help ensure our customers are efficiently using the Elastic IP addresses that they have associated with their account, we impose the $.01/hr charge when these IP addresses are not mapped to an instance.
Can an instance have more than one Elastic IP or Public IP?
Today, an instance can only have one Internet routable IP address. If an Elastic IP is mapped to an instance its existing Public IP address mapping is removed.
What happens to the Public IP of my instance when I associate an Elastic IP to that instance?
To map an Elastic IP to an instance the existing Public IP mapping must first be removed. Once the mapping of the Elastic IP to the instance is complete, the original Public IP is returned to the general IP address pool and will eventually be reused within the cloud.
What happens if an Elastic IP (EIP1) is already associated to an instance and then a second Elastic IP (EIP2) associated to the instance?
The last ec2-associate-address call made will be the one applied to the instance; in this case EIP2 will be associated with the instance once the mapping propagates. EIP1 will be disassociated, but will remain associated with your EC2 account.
If an Elastic IP is removed from an instance is the instance reachable from the internet?
Removing the Elastic IP from an instance temporarily leaves the instance without a Public IP Address. A background process in the cloud will re-assign a new Public IP to the instance after a short period of time. The instance will remain reachable from within the cloud on its private IP address during this process.
How long does it take to remap an Elastic IP address?
In most cases, this will typically take less than a few minutes from when you instruct us to remap the Elastic IP, and we are continuing to work to make this even faster.
Why do existing connections still work after I associate a new IP address to an instance?
When you remap an Elastic IP to an instance, some of your preexisting communications (to the old and now unmapped IP address) will continue to work even after the remap. For example, if you have an open ssh connection to an instance via its system assigned Public IP address and subsequently associate one of your Elastic IP addresses with that instance, the ssh session might continue to function normally for some time. This behavior is expected but unreliable. We strongly urge you to reestablish connections via the new remapped IP addresses to ensure that your software functions correctly.
When you remap an IP address, we propagate the new mapping throughout the EC2 network. Because of the behavior of some network devices, existing communications (defined as established source IP, destination IP, port combinations) might continue to utilize preexisting mappings until the devices refresh their caches. This results in existing connections continuing to work. However, because of the highly distributed nature of the EC2 network and the way these devices function, these communications can become invalid at any time. Therefore, you should reestablish all connections through your remapped IP address.
Finally, as we continue to release optimizations to the EC2 network to reduce the propagation time of Elastic IP updates, these optimizations will also more quickly purge the network of any cached mappings. It is our ultimate goal to immediately break all existing communications when an IP address is remapped.
If an instance re-starts does the mapping of Elastic IP Address become invalid?
A reboot or restart of an instance has no impact on the mapping of an Elastic IP to it. However, terminating an instance will remove the mapping and the Elastic IP will then be charged for each full hour it is not mapped to another instance.

Preseason Game #2 Preview: Oilers @ Canucks
Dimitri Filipovic
September 18 2013 11:11AM
In the preseason opener, Hunter Shinkaruk impressed. Can he keep it going? (Image via Darryl Dyck )
The second of six preseason games for the Canucks goes tonight, as the Edmonton Oilers come to town. There were some positives to take away from the Monday night opener, including the other 1st rounder, Hunter Shinkaruk, who lit the lamp in impressive fashion.
I was in the building on that night, and as you may have expected, the crowd was scattered and relatively disinterested. It was probably a combination of being the first preseason game, manly notable Canucks not being in the lineup, and the game quickly becoming lopsided in San Jose's favour.
I'd expect both the crowd, and the level of play to be improved tonight. Read on past the jump for the expected lineup, and some more notes in advance of the game.
Broadcast Info:
Puck-drop: 7 PM PST
Radio: Team1040
Television: Rogers Sportsnet Pacific
L1: Sedin-Sedin-Kassian
L2: Shinkaruk-Richardson-Hansen
L3: Gaunce-Santorelli-DeFazio
L4: Stuart-Horvat-Jensen
P1: Garrison-Bieksa
P2: Andersson-Mullen
P3: Negrin-Tanev
(s/t to Elliott Pap).
Roberto Luongo is expected to be between the pipes, which is cool, because it'll be fun to see the response he gets.
The Sedins will also be making their preseason debut, with Zack Kassian tagging along for the ride. It's not really an audition, though, as by all accounts Kassian is pretty much assured a long look on the top line to start the year. Still, you'd like to see the supposed physical and mental improvements he has made over the summer be put into action.
After playing next to Burrows and Kesler in the opener - and impressing - Shinkaruk will play next to Richardson and Hansen. Given his play over the past few weeks (including the Young Stars Classic in Penticton, and now in camp) Shinkaruk has people buzzing about the potential of him sticking around to start the season. With Booth's uncertain status it's certainly possible, and I wouldn't be against an audition for the first handful of the games, but ultimately, I don't think he's ready for the NHL just yet. I'd like to see him steamroll the WHL this season before legitimately considering him as a viable option next fall.
Brendan Gaunce, a noted Canucks Army favourite, moves to the wing tonight. Tyson Giuriato notes that Gaunce played much of last season there, and that he enjoyed it because it allowed him to be more creative offensively. I personally liked what I saw from Gaunce on Monday night; he's certainly not flashy, but he did a ton of good things. Watch real closely for what he does tonight (hint: zone entries!).
Meanwhile, the Oilers will be fielding a nearly complete lineup, as the likes of Hall, Eberle, Perron, Hemsky, Smyth, Ference and Darnell Nurse will be suiting up. Also, Canucks fans will have another chance to let Justin Schultz know how they feel about his "decision". Never forget.
During the game please feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments section, and/or follow along on Twitter. It's a party and you're invited!

The rare treat of seeing Luongo pulled after 2 periods and knowing there is still a chance to win the game.
Good times.
You occasionally post interesting stuff - often full of assumptions and conclusions I wouldn't agree with - but this kind of trolling garbage seems pointless. A real Canucks fan you are
If Lou can joke about his meltdowns, surely Canuck fans can as well...

WTF... no Jordan Schroeder?????
I really wanna see Booth/Kesler/Schroeder or Burrows/Kesler/Schroeder on a line together.
Schroeder is good... and super underrated. Right-handed shot, good vision, great hockey sense....
Are Grenier and Alex Mallet still in camp? Hopefully we get to see them in an exhibition game.
I'm a little surprised Schroeder isn't in today. Ah well. He's another guy that really needs to have a good showing to make the big club.

As one who usually takes issue with NM00, I actually found his comment really, really funny. Weird, I know. And I'm an ardent Luongo fan. Some people just have to lighten up :)
Indeed -- if you were actually humorous
I actually assumed NM00 didn't mean Lu would get pulled for bad play, just that as an exhibition game they'll probably put one of the backups in for the third. Plug any other NHL starter's name in for Lu's; it's still not an amazing joke but that maybe puts it in context.
Incidentally, I wonder if stats exist on which starter has been pulled the most times per season. If it's Lu I'm sorry I asked!
It's a couple of years old and Fleury has certainly added to his playoff blowup totals...
It's a couple of years old and Fleury has certainly added to his playoff blowup totals...
Super-interesting article.
It's not like thats the case for Lu and only Lu anyway...you can plug pretty much any goalie in there, because goalies are usually pulled when they've performed terribly and let in a bunch of softies.
Really, it's the rare time in a game when a goalie is pulled after two periods and there's still a chance to win the game. This goes for any team in the league.
I get that it's a joke, but I find the whole "Luongo blows up more than any other goalie" kind of boring and old. He's just not as bad as people seem to think sometimes. He's not as good as people think he is sometimes, but those people usually aren't out in droves making lame old jokes (sorry NM00).
Or maybe I should've just chuckled and moved on. Yeah, probably that.
Speaking of meltdowns...lol

Two former champs meet in the penultimate Heineken Cup quarter-final of the weekend as Ulster travel to Thomond Park to face Munster.
Two former champions collide in the penultimate Heineken Cup quarter-final of the weekend as Ulster travel to Limerick to face Munster on Sunday.
In their only previous meeting this campaign in the RaboDirect PRO12, Ulster came out on top 33-17 at Ravenhill with a four-try bonus-point. That impressive December win was a comprehensive one but was one that saw Tony McGahan's outfit minus their first-choice Ireland internationals.
So much will be different this time around.
Despite going into the game with two defeats in their last three games, the Heineken Cup has been something of a back garden for the Red Army and with plenty of competition experience – and the 16th man of their home venue – Munster understandable go into this one as favourites.
McGahan has acted on quickly after last week's loss to Leinster and makes seven changes to his side, handing first Heineken Cup starts to hooker Mike Sherry and flank Tommy O'Donnell.
Sherry has three Heineken Cup appearances off the bench to his credit all from last season while O'Donnell only appearance at this level was when he replaced James Coughlan in the 77th minute of Munster's game against Scarlets in Thomond Park back in December.
In the backs, there are two changes where a return from injury by Denis Hurley and Conor Murray sees Johne Murphy and Tomas O'Leary slip to the replacements bench.
Up front Wian du Preez starts his seventh consecutive Heineken Cup game and Donnacha Ryan and Paul O'Connell return from injury. In the back-row, Peter O'Mahony switches from seven to six and O'Donnell is preferred to David Wallace who is named on the bench.
Meanwhile, Ulster have made just one change to the starting team that registered a 45-7 victory over Aironi at Ravenhill last Friday. Dan Tuohy returns to partner Johann Muller.
The backline has a settled look about it with Ruan Pienaar and Ian Humphreys continuing at half-back. Paddy Wallace and Darren Cave have been looking dangerous in midfield and will thrive on the opportunity of quick ball on Sunday. Craig Gilroy adds youth to an experienced back three that also includes Stefan Terblanche and Andrew Trimble.
The only other change sees Nevin Spence on the bench at the expense of Ian Whitten.
Ones to watch:
For Munster: Mr Heineken Cup himself will be looking to continue his love affair with this competition this weekend. Ronan O'Gara must fire from the tee and also direct matters.
For Ulster: He is fit to start. Ireland blindside flank Stephen Ferris is invaluable for Ulster and his availability is massive to the visitors in Limerick on Sunday. Huge boost to them.
Head-to-head: We look in on the dark arts of the front-row where former Ulster tighthead BJ Botha will take on the man wearing number one in white, Tom Court. It was such a tough afternoon for Court against England but since returning to provincial duty, he has slotted back in his more favoured position of loosehead. His battle with Botha will be interesting as they know all about each other from their two years together at Ravenhill. Sparks should fly.
Prediction: Going for an away win. Ulster by 2!
The teams:
Munster: 15 Felix Jones, 14 Denis Hurley, 13 Keith Earls, 12 Lifeimi Mafi, 11 Simon Zebo, 10 Ronan O'Gara, 9 Conor Murray, 8 James Coughlan, 7 Tommy O'Donnell, 6 Peter O'Mahony, 5 Paul O'Connell, 4 Donnacha Ryan, 3 BJ Botha, 2 Mike Sherry, 1 Wian du Preez.
Replacements: 16 Damien Varley, 17 Marcus Horan, 18 Stephen Archer, 19 Donncha O'Callaghan, 20 David Wallace, 21 Tomas O'Leary, 22 Ian Keatley, 23 Johne Murphy.
Ulster: 15 Stefan Terblanche, 14 Andrew Trimble, 13 Darren Cave, 12 Paddy Wallace, 11 Craig Gilroy, 10 Ian Humphreys, 9 Ruan Pienaar, 8 Pedrie Wannenburg, 7 Chris Henry, 6 Stephen Ferris, 5 Dan Tuohy, 4 Johann Muller (capt), 3 John Afoa, 2 Rory Best, 1 Tom Court.
Replacements: 16 Nigel Brady, 17 Paddy McAllister, 18 Adam Macklin, 19 Lewis Stevenson, 20 Willie Faloon, 21 Paul Marshall, 22 Nevin Spence, 23 Adam D'Arcy.
Date: Sunday, April 8
Kick-off: 13:45 BST
Venue: Thomond Park
Referee: Romain Poite (France)
Assistant referees: Jérôme Garces (France), Matthieu Raynal (France)

Perfect Ballet!
"The yellow perforated was my first flat in the Hush Puppies Chaste line - I now have the Taupe Suede, the Nude Leather, and the Cognac Leather - I'm obsessed! They are such a comfortable flat - I would recommend buying up a half size as the elastic band can be a little tight. However to stretch them out if they are a bit snug is to fold the elastic under the heel so it stretches. They are so comfortable to walk in - the insole is suede so your feet don't sweat like with leather insoles. I love them and will be continuing to get them in all the colors I love!"

Great yellow fabric, but heel elastic digs in
"These are cute, but I thought that after some wear the elastic on the heel would loosen up. Not the case. I've wore them 5 times now and cannot return them for obvious wear, but I would if I could because that darn elastic still digs in to my ankle. They fit like a glove in every other way."

Fontana Dam
Fontana Dam, the largest dam of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) system, is located on the Little Tennessee River in Graham County. Completed in 1945, it is a gravity-type concrete structure 480 feet high, 2,365 feet long, and 376 feet thick at its base. The six-story powerhouse of reinforced concrete with glass walls is located at the base of the dam. Typical of TVA engineering, Fontana is multipurpose, providing electric power, flood control, navigation, and recreation.
Fontana Dam was developed as a part of the war effort. Formerly owned by the Aluminum Company of America, the site had been acquired by the TVA after prolonged negotiations. Because it was situated in a remote, mountainous area about 60 miles from both Knoxville, Tenn., and Asheville, N.C., highways, bridges, and rail lines had to be built to bring in construction equipment, supplies, and workers.
In this wilderness, the TVA built a community for 5,000 workers and their families. The construction camp included 19 dormitories, a cafeteria with a capacity to serve 1,000 people, a community building, a recreation facility, refreshment stands, and a softball field. The permanent village, a mile downstream from the dam site, included nearly 400 houses and 400 trailers. The village featured a 50-bed hospital, a business district, two racially segregated schools, libraries, softball fields, recreation buildings, refreshment stands, and movie theaters.
Fontana's employees maintained three eight-hour shifts, around-the-clock, seven days a week. Because of this accelerated schedule, construction time was slashed almost to half of what it would have been in peacetime. To inspire the workers, military marches and big band music was piped over an intricate public address system that reached the camp, ball fields, cafeteria, and recreation halls. Bright floodlights illuminated the site, and signs everywhere reminded the inhabitants of their patriotic mission in the war effort.
In November 1944 Fontana Lake began to fill, and on 20 Jan. 1945, three years after construction had started, the powerhouse produced electricity for the first time. The project had cost $74.7 million, consumed 2.8 million cubic yards of concrete, and required 34.5 million man-hours to build. The dam created a reservoir of more than 11,000 acres with a 240-mile shoreline and a drainage area of more than 1,500 square miles.
By the early 2000s, the three generating units at Fontana Dam had a total productive capacity of 225,000 kilowatts. In addition, the TVA controlled flooding of the Little Tennessee River through a process of storing and releasing water from the reservoir.

Curious about in academic librarianship in Singapore as a career? Try So you want to be a academic librarian in Singapore?
Okay, I foolishly agreed to do this Library Day in the Life Project which is basically a project where librarians agree to blog or Tweet about their work for a day or a week.
Why do this? Well I suppose this would help people who always wonder what librarians do, or for people who are thinking of joining the profession in Singapore. Do note that this is just one librarian's experience in one academic library in Singapore. (Ivan Chew over at the Rambling Librarian blog has covered the Public Librarian side for years)
If there is anything I've discovered about librarianship, it's this - Every librarian's job is different, often radically different, even if both are in the same institution or even at the same department (I'm with the Information Services department at Central Library). Depending on your inclination, talents or position, you can be doing very different things, or at least have a different mix of duties. This is one of the things I love about librarianship.
Monday 25/1/2010
Started the week by going for half day course "Making the best out of 2010". I'm not a big fan of such courses, I would rather be back doing library work really. But during a break, I did manage to catch up with a colleague and she told me about the work she was doing on environmental scanning of ebooks. I recommended the excellent No Shelf required blog as well as the mobile libraries blog.
After lunch, I met a honours year student to help with her honours thesis. Her topic was a bit theoretical, and during my earlier prepartion I didn't manage to find much. However I was able to find her the full text of an article she wanted but couldn't find.
I was interrupted mid-way through by a phone call from yet another honors year student, requesting a information advisory session, he needed help finding statistics on Singapore. I suggested he email me with more details first.
I returned to the student and also directed her to the Phd thesis from which the paper she was interested derived as well as showing her the typical tricks like how to find the full-text article from a citation (many pitfalls!), proxy bookmarklet, use of document delivery etc.
A colleague of mine who was observing (he was supposed to learn from me??) also chimed in with some interesting comments. After the student left, I briefed my colleague about some of the things I have being doing from the handling of the Twitter account, to the analysis I did last year on LibQual+ as well as usage reports from our web servers. Also made him aware we were evaluating LibGuides and LibAnswers. He updated me about the lean sigma project he was working on, we had a little discussion about some basic statistic issues, including concepts such as the Central Limit Theorem.
I headed home and after dinner, I answered a round of emails including an email from the student who called earlier asking where to find statistics about Singapore. I also decided to see if I could update my post about the use of Zbar as a barcode scanner for Iphones . In that post, I figured out one could scan barcodes with one's Iphone and instantly do a search in any library catalogue (including ours , NLB etc). But the search that was used was the not the mobile version of our catalogue.
I quickly discovered our mobile catalogue http://www.linc.nus.edu.sg/airpac/ was an old version which did not support Iphones. Also found there was a newer version that did support it, will check with our IT department to see if I can get it up some time.
I accidentally lost the full version of the rest of the week, so this is from data pierced together from looking at my online calender and emails sent out. Sorry!
Tuesday 26/1/2010

- Trying to figure out if I should attend a course "Writing for social media" by @ramblinglibrarian probably the most famous librarian in Singapore (if a librarian could ever be said to be famous!), but the course fee is quite costly.
Friday 29/1/2010
- May have to revisit some of the analysis and work I did last year with LibQual+
- Showed a colleague how to use Tungle, to schedule team meetings

In your image your powering both the TX and RX modules from the RX arduino. Probably the only reason it works at all is the grounds are connected via the USB sockets in the PC. Power them separately from each Arduino, DO NOT common the 5V between the arduino's though.

Dr Brown Because
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2010
Dr Brown Because is for anyone tired of winsome witticisms and predictable punch-lines. A largely wordless act of absurdist mime and downright uncomfortable weirdness, the show may or may not involve handcuffs, olives, board games, dancing, sunscreen and a transvestite. Leaving audiences delightfully bewildered, Dr Brown goes strange places, turns left and then goes even stranger.

Steve, sorry I have to agree with the others, except that I had to hold back from 'guffawing' so I could giggle in anticipation waiting for his next move. My daughter and I came out of his show exhilerated thatb it wasn't the usual stand up thing we come to accept and talked vigorously about the show for some time afterward. I am really disappointed I don't get to see his next show so my imagination can be taken places it rarely is these days. I think you have to completely let go if you attend his shows and let your natural instincts take over! Go everyone, he's fantastic!!!
Vince - 08/12/2010
Another idiotic review from this Chortle plonker. It's a great show.
Dan Godfrey - 04/09/2010
Steve, I have just read your review and can't quite understand just how someone could miss the point by so far. I saw Dr Brown's show at the Fringe with five friends and we all thought it was one of the best shows we saw at the Fringe. The only other show that cam close was Russell Kane...and he won the Best Comedy Award this year. Dr Brown is a genius and its a shame that a lot of people may not go to see him because of your misguided review.
Jasper - 23/08/2010
This is a 4 star show by any sense of imagination. Ignore the Chortle review, it is one of the most poorly judged ones I have read on this site.
Fisherman Sam - 22/08/2010
Mr Steve, I thought he was brilliant. Dada at its best. Perhaps he's just not for you, but I'd recommend his show to anyone.
Sally Slingback - 20/08/2010
Mr Steve - I love Dr Brown with a passion that I usually reserve for strippers and crack whores - he is a genius - but maybe you need to be a happy low life to be able to recognise this?

Hey everyone!Thanks for voting for us!This week is not going that well so far. We are really, really behind! Amber's knees have been acting up, so we haven't been able to rehearse at all. She got them drained the other day, so we're finally going to start rehearsals today and see how that goes. There wasn't any injury or anything - more like pressure that's ...

Swaziland, which is about 85% the size of New Jersey, is surrounded by South Africa and Mozambique. The country is largely mountainous.
Absolute monarchy.
Bantu peoples migrated southwest to the area of Mozambique in the 16th century. A number of clans broke away from the main body in the 18th century and settled in Swaziland. In the 19th century these clans organized as a tribe, partly because they were in constant conflict with the Zulu. Their ruler, Mswazi, appealed to the British in the 1840s for help against the Zulu. The British and the Transvaal governments guaranteed the independence of Swaziland in 1881.
South Africa held Swaziland as a protectorate from 1894 to 1899, but after the Boer War, in 1902, Swaziland was transferred to British administration. The paramount chief was recognized as the native authority in 1941. In 1963, the territory was constituted a protectorate, and on Sept. 6, 1968, it became the independent nation of Swaziland.
Since 1986, King Mswati III has ruled as sub-Saharan Africa's last absolute monarch. Political parties are banned and the king appoints 10 of the 65 members of parliament as well as the prime minister. King Mswati can veto any law passed by the legislature and frequently rules by decree.
In 2002, hundreds of thousands of Swazis faced starvation. Two years of drought as well as bad planning and poor agricultural practices were blamed for the crisis. The government came under criticism for buying the king a $50-million luxury jet—a quarter of the national budget—while famine loomed. In 2002, the country's judges resigned en masse in protest of the government's refusal to comply with court decisions. In April 2003, the government information minister announced that the media were banned from making negative remarks about the government—criticism of the king's new luxury jet in particular would not be tolerated. In 2004, a third year of drought befell the country. International donor agencies and human rights groups condemned the king's plans to build new multimillion-dollar palaces for each of his 11 wives (12 by 2005) while his people faced starvation and the country's AIDS epidemic spiraled out of control. About 30% of the population is infected.
Although the king signed the country's first constitution in Aug. 2005, the document essentially maintains the status quo: opposition parties remain banned and the king retains ultimate power.
