I can run IDE netbeans --userdir ~/ud1 --cachedir /tmp/cache and concurrently netbeans --userdir ~/ud2 --cachedir /tmp/cache which causes any unexpected problems.
Jesse, can you look into implementing locking cachedir like we do for userdir.
(In reply to comment #0)
> which causes [...] problems.
So do not do that then. How is this a P2?
As to locking cachedir in the same way as userdir, that is not possible since the userdir lock is closely tied to CLIHandler. Simply placing a lock file in the cachedir and releasing it on exit would not work since the lock would be stale if the JVM crashed - handled in the case of userdir by trying to send a command to the supposedly running IDE and clobbering the lock only after a timeout.
Possibly the IDE could write the location of the userdir to some file in the cachedir, deleting it on exit; if encountering an existing marker pointing to a different userdir, it would have to ping that app to see if it was still alive. The last part would require some modifications to CLIHandler (checking for liveness _without_ starting the app if not live) which jtulach would know the most about.

It's here! It's really here! March 4, 2013Posted by mareserinitatis in education, older son, personal.
Tags: college, older son
The older son recently celebrated another orbital trip around the sun, and it made me realize that it's pretty much time to get serious about this college thing. Part of it was the realization that I teach in the fall (which came up because of other reasons), so if the older boy plans to make any college visits, it'd be ideal if they were in the next couple months. The fall will be difficult, at best.
Of course, we're also sitting here wondering if maybe just staying local for a couple years would be fine. He could start here (or even keep on taking exams for placement), live at home, and transfer out should he so decide. However, I want him to evaluate all of his choices carefully. He's starting to look at potential majors for college, we're going through the mess of signing him up for standardized tests, and probably most importantly, Mike is panicking about the potential bills showing up in the mail which also has the older boy starting to think about scholarships.
You know, I thought looking for colleges was stressful when I was in high school. I don't think it's really any easier as a parent. In fact, in some ways, it's worse (although in other ways, it's certainly better). I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I am glad that I read Crazy U a couple years ago, though. I think it made me realize that getting really worked up about the whole process is probably counterproductive.
- 1. Chris Gammell (@Chris_Gammell) - March 4, 2013
More than anything, I suggest against the first year at home. So many connections are made in those gross dorms that will last a lifetime. It's a much slower start trying to make them later.

Mini Eclairs with Salted Caramel & Fresh Banana
As a child eclairs always amazed me. The first time my mom took me to our local bakery I spotted the eclairs through the shiny glass, beautifully presented on a mirrored tray. That day I wasn't allowed to get one as we had gone there to pick up a birthday cake but my mom promised we would go back soon.
I'll never forget the morning my mom took me to choose my first eclair. I was excited to see if it would live up to my expectations. I imagined the eclair to be quite dense (as that is how it looked) and thought the glossy chocolate glaze would be sickly sweet. I couldn't have been more wrong. I remember not knowing how to explain what I tasted but that I liked it. I remember savouring the light cream filling speckled with black seeds. Since that first encounter with the classic eclair, I have loved them immensely. And so, when my home economics teacher announced that we would be making eclairs in high school, I was beyond delighted. I had never thought that I would actually be making this delicacy and even though she warned us that it was a tricky pastry to pull off, I jumped in head first.
What you need to know about making eclairs is that the pastry needs to be handled as little as possible while still getting everything incorporated. All the ingredients need to be stirred in with a gentle but firm hand and should, under no circumstances, be over-mixed. Also keep in mind that there are a magnitude of ways of serving and stuffing eclairs. In High school we even made fish eclairs with a delicate smoked salmon and cream cheese filling.
As salted caramel is so very popular at the moment (and rightly so), I wanted to use it in my eclairs. In my opinion, fresh banana is the only companion caramel ever needs and so I decided to use thin slices of banana with a salted caramel cream as the filling for my eclairs and kept some of the warm salted caramel to drizzle over the top. Absolutely decadent but oh-so-delicious!
Makes 12 mini eclairs
for the eclairs
250ml water
100g unsalted butter, cubed
2.5ml (1/2 t) salt
250ml (1 cup) flour
2 large, free-range eggs
for the salted caramel
250g sugar
50ml water
100g butter
100ml cream
2 t sea salt flakes
for the salted caramel cream
150ml fresh cream
3 T salted caramel
to serve
fresh banana, diced and drizzled with lemon juice
- To make the eclairs, pre-heat the oven to 180c and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Bring the water, cubed butter and salt to a simmer.
- Add all the flour and with a wooden spoon, mix until the dough forms a ball which pulls away from the sides of the saucepan.
- Allow to cool slightly and add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Pipe/spoon 12-15 x 5cm eclairs onto the prepared baking tray.
- Place in the oven and allow to bake for 30-45 minutes until the eclairs are golden brown and cooked through.
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- To make the salted caramel, combine the sugar and water in a saucepan and allow to come to the boil. Cook until the sugar is the colour of Amber then add the butter and cream and stir until smooth. Add the salt and set aside to cool slightly.
- To make the salted caramel cream, beat the cream until soft peaks form. Whilst beating, add the warm salted caramel and beat until the mixture is thick.
- To serve, slice open the éclairs, spoon in some of the cream mixture, add some chopped bananas and a drizzle of salted caramel.
- Serve immediately.
This recipe was developed for Woolworths for their Woolies Pantry for the duration of MasterchefSA.
I am sure eclaires are a winner all round! I love them – and they are not as difficult and daunting as so many think! Your caramel sauce looks sooooo good!
OMG look at that caramel sauce…!! And LOL, eclairs were my ultimate childhood sweet treat – especially the ones filled with CHOCOLATE CREAM from the German bakery in Uitenhage near my dad's consulting rooms! :o)
Those look devine! I made my very first batch of eclairs last week and was so pleased with how they turned out. Will definitely be trying them with this yummy caramel topppin and banana filling!
looks delicious Alida 🙂
These eclairs are so incredible – and that caramel sauce! I'd be in heaven with a bowl of that and a spoon 😉 I'm featuring this in today's Food Fetish Friday (with a link-back and attribution). I hope you have no objections and it's always fun to be following along with your creations…
Is it possible to make the caramel without the salt?
Would you believe that I was just discussing eclairs with the hubby last night as choux pastry is a scary topic for me but its his birthday on the weekend and it would be a good oppurtunity to make it. Another thing that was putting me off is that the only recipe I have would make 40 and I wouldn't want to quarter that recipe the first time I'm making pastry. So this post is perfectly timed. Thank you.
P.S. We were discussing this with my 4 year old daughter in the room and she pipes up with "Teacher Claire is the teacher in the blue class". So cute 😉

May 18, 2016 – 2 Girls Kidnapped From Hairdressing Saloon In Ajegunle Lagos, Trainee Tailor Declared Wanted
A trainee hairdresser simply identified as Rose has been declared wanted over the abduction of her boss' children.
On Saturday the 14th of May 2016, Rose took 4-year-old Chinaza and 2-year-old Chikamso Okpara from their mother shop under the guise of trying to buy food for them and since then she hasn't returned with the children.
The kids were playing with themselves at their mother's shop at Olodi Apapa area of Ajegunle when they suddenly disappeared.
Rose started working with her master last Tuesday and disappeared four days after.
According to Emeka Okpara, the father of the missing girls, the children who usually stay at home followed their mother to the shop on Saturday before Ruth lured them away.
Another hairdresser who saw the suspect with the kids reportedly questioned her but she told her their mother told her to buy food for them.
Please if you see these little children anywhere, call their father on 08129390600 or report to the nearest police station.

Hearing your favorite childhood song usually conjures up memories of happy times. For a generation of Afghans, whose songs were intentionally eradicated by way and oppression, hearing a familiar childhood song is a much more powerful experience. Read More
Louise was also introduced to Arsalan Lutfi and the Lutfi family who run TriVision Studios in both the U.S. and in Afghanistan. TriVision generously offered to be a strong partner in the project, helping to design, and facilitate the creation of the songbook, printing and distribution.
The first songbook is Qu Qu Qu Barg-e-Chinaar which includes a CD of sixteen songs and an accompanying booklet with the lyrics and original children's drawings. The songs are in Dari, Pashto, Hazaragi and Uzbeki. In 2011 a second songbook, Awasana See Sana, was printed with 16 more traditional songs. In addition, with the guidance of a team of Afghans, Louise created an accompanying Teacher's Guide for each of the songbooks, which provides teachers with lesson linked to the songs that build on basic literacy skills.
Currently, 50,000 songbooks and 7500 Teacher's Guides have been distributed to over 15 Provinces across Afghanistan. It was Louise's dream to return the songs to the children of Afghanistan so that the songs would continue to live on in the lives of Afghan children. Thank you to the many, many generous supporter, friends and family who helped make this project become a reality.

Season of Elijah-Cross-Moses
Reading 3, 1 Pt 3:1-7 : Obligations of husband and wife.
|Likewise you wives, be submissive to your husbands, so that some, though they do not obey the word, may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives,
|when they see your reverent and chaste behavior.
|Let not yours be the outward adorning with braiding of hair, decoration of gold, and wearing of fine clothing,
|but let it be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable jewel of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.
|So once the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves and were submissive to their husbands,
|as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are now her children if you do right and let nothing terrify you.
|Likewise you husbands, live considerately with your wives, bestowing honor on the woman as the weaker sex, since you are joint heirs of the grace of life, in order that your prayers may not be hindered.
Gospel, Lk 20:27-40 : He is the God of the living
|There came to him some Sadducees, those who say that there is no resurrection,
|and they asked him a question, saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies, having a wife but no children, the man must take the wife and raise up children for his brother.
|Now there were seven brothers; the first took a wife, and died without children;
|and the second
|and the third took her, and likewise all seven left no children and died.
|Afterward the woman also died.
|In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had her as wife."
|And Jesus said to them, "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage;
|but those who are accounted worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage,
|for they cannot die any more, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
|But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.
|Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living; for all live to him."
|And some of the scribes answered, "Teacher, you have spoken well."
|For they no longer dared to ask him any question.

You accidentally deleted a file, folder, or you formatted your USB drive or partition by mistake? Here are several possible solutions to recover them.
- Problem : You have accidentally deleted a file
- Problem : You have permanently deleted a file or you formatted the wrong partition
- Problem : You have accidentally deleted one or more partitions on your hard drive or they have disappeared
1. Problem : You have accidentally deleted a file
First, make sure the file is not just in the recycle bin. In this case, you can simply restore it by a right-click -> Restore on the concerned file(s).
Note : if you delete a file on an USB key or a removable disk, the file is never sent to the recycle bin.
Most people will tell you that this file has been "permanently deleted" from the USB key. But it's wrong.
2. Problem : You have permanently deleted a file or you formatted the wrong partition
Generally, users would say it's too late and it is impossible to recover these files because they were "permanently deleted".
In reality, when you delete a file with the shortcut "Shift + Del" or when you format a partition, concerned files are never permanently deleted.
In fact, Windows only delete it from the list of files present on this or that partition. So, the file is only removed from this list and Windows doesn't delete the file contents.
By cons, the place where the file was located is marked as free. This means that Windows could rewrite there.
In short, if you delete an important file or when you format one of your partitions by mistake, it is strongly recommended to not rewrite on this partition before recovering these files with a data recovery software.
Most users will recommend Recuva as data recovery software because this program is free and has been created by the author of Ccleaner. Namely : Piriform.
Nevertheless, this program is not the best.
From our side, we recommend File Scavenger software that is paid, but very powerful. Indeed, he has allowed us to recover data "permanently" deleted by mistake, and when losing a partition of a hard drive.
For the little story, we have a hard drive with multiple partitions where Windows 7 was installed, and to resolve a compatibility problem and performance, we wanted to reinstall Windows XP. For some reason, it was impossible to reinstall Windows XP on the desired partition. So, we tried to delete the partition where Windows 7 was installed to recreate it.
The problem is that for some reason, all the hard drive partitions have disappeared after deleting a single partition. Disaster.
As you should never write data to a hard disk when you delete important data, we turned off the computer without installing Windows and the hard disk is left completely blank.
Since we already know the "File Scavenger" program through an experience in a computer store, we attempted a recovery of data on this hard disk by booting on the "Hiren Boot CD" live cd (so, everything is written only in the RAM of the computer, not on the hard drive).
After several hours of hard disk analysis, File Scavenger detected partitions of our hard drive and all data that were there. We launched the data recovery and we were able to recover important data that were still present on this hard drive that appeared blank.
Obviously, some file names have been lost, but this was probably old data deleted for a long time.
This data recovery was done long ago, but we found 2 print screens from this period.
Once the scan is complete, File Scavenger detected 38 volumes (partitions) including some partitions with names that we knew. So, it was our true partitions that still existed just prior to their loss.
We have selected these partitions to recover the data on them and we clicked on "Recover".
As you can see at the bottom of the window, File Scavenger had found 463287 files, including 90021 files that we have selected (with the selection of partitions on the left side) and 89113 which were recovered.
After several hours of waiting, we have recovered all our data.
As you can see, we recovered data including the music, images, ... folders created by default by Windows 7. But also important data as a TFE (Working graduation), our web servers (the wamp and server folders), a course on Visual Basic .Net, ...
In short, File Scavenger is paid, but very powerful.
To recover data with File Scavenger, follow our tutorial : Data recovery with File Scavenger
Finally, as you can see, this program will allow you to recover your deleted data in several cases :
- Accidental file deletion
- files deleted from Recycle Bin
- Defective hard disk
- Formatted or deleted partition
- Defective RAID
- Etc.
In addition, it supports such file systems :
- NTFS : used by Windows
- FAT / FAT 32 / ... : used by all operating systems for its better compatibility
- EXT3, EXT4, ... : used by Linux distributions
- and others
If however, you do not want to buy this program and want to try to recover your data with Recuva, here's how to do it : Data recovery with Recuva
3. Problem : You have accidentally deleted one or more partitions on your hard drive or they have disappeared
In such cases, there are two possibilities :
- try to restore the partition table to recover deleted or lost partition
- use a recovery program that supports recovery of data when the data was on a deleted partition
To restore the partition table, you can use the Testdisk program like this :
- TestDisk - Repair a RAW partition
- TestDisk - Recover a deleted or lost partition
To recover the data that was on the partition that has been deleted or has disappeared, you can use the File Scavenger program that supports this kind of case.
To do this, follow our tutorial : Data recovery with File Scavenger

Ten years have passed since Kobe Bryant scored 81 points in one game.
Bryant's huge night on Jan. 22, 2006 came at the expense of the Toronto Raptors and then head coach Sam Mitchell -- now on the bench in Minnesota with the Timberwolves.
"Ten years ago, what year was that, 2004?" asked Sacramento Kings Coach George Karl on Wednesday. "I was thinking as a coach, saying, 'I would foul him.' I would never let him have that many points. I would triple team him or something. I've got to let someone else beat me."
Lakers Coach Byron Scott has a similar response after his team's practice on Thursday -- first reflecting how he'd handle a red-hot Bryant as a player.
"I would have fouled out a long time ago, because there was no way I would let anyone score 81 points on me," said the former Lakers shooting guard.
Scott coached against Bryant in the NBA Finals in 2002 with the New Jersey Nets (now in Brooklyn), back when the Lakers also had Shaquille O'Neal.
"I had that dilemma a bunch of times as well," said Scott. "We wanted to double team him and get it out of his hands at times and say, 'You know what? We're going to play him straight up and if he scores 50, so be it.'"
Mitchell seemed to take the approach that Bryant couldn't beat the Raptors by himself.
"It's just the philosophy of the coach. You have to live with it," said Scott. "Sam has to live with the fact that [Bryant] had 81 points on him."
Scott's own number might have been 50 points for Bryant, before changing up his coverage.
"I think once Bryant gets to that mark ... you probably say, '[Forget] everything that we talked about -- let's just double team him on every pick and roll. Once he crosses half court with the ball, let's double team him," Scott continued. "Sooner or later, you probably scrap it."
Karl all but had the same answer as Scott.
"There has been a strategy, and I've used it on Kobe, that you want him to take all the shots. It's easier to try to control everybody else, than try to stop Kobe," said Karl. "There's got to be a number -- 40, 45, 50 -- where you probably have to change your strategy."
Karl has made many stops throughout his long coaching career.
"I remember this summer, it was Kobe's birthday and they had highlight games on NBA TV, and I think my teams were like on four of them," said Karl, often on the losing end to the Lakers. "There's a game against Denver. There's a game against Seattle. There's a game against Milwaukee. I was in every one of them."
Does Scott think anyone in the NBA can pass Bryant's 81-point mark?
"Yeah, in two games," joked Scott. "I never thought I'd see someone get close to 100 and 81 is about as close as we're going to see for a while."
Scott did mention Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant and Golden State Warriors guards Stephen Curry as the players most likely to near Bryant's modern record.
Wilt Chamberlain owns the single-game record with 100 points, scored in 1962 for the Philadelphia Warriors in a win over the New York Knicks.
Scott has sympathy for the Raptors, who were on the losing end of a historic night.
"I felt bad for Sam Mitchell," said Scott. "I know Sam real well, that's my buddy and he doesn't want to talk about [that night].
"Hopefully, he feels we'll just forget about it one day."
Good luck with that, coach.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the weather like on the Matanuska glacier?
Weather on the Matanuska varies from day to day. In general, it is about 5-10 degrees cooler down on the glacier. There is no accurate forecast for the area, so don't worry about checking the weather ahead of time. The weather can and does change quickly so we recommend being prepared for rain, sunshine, warm and cool temperatures.
- What if it is raining on the day of my trip?
Our trips go out rain or shine. To insure a comfortable experience on the glacier, we ask that you come prepared with a rain jacket and rain pants. If you do not have these items, we can provide you with our rain gear at no additional fee.
- Do you have an address I can put into my GPS?
DO NOT use GPS, Mapquest, Google Maps, or other such services.
There is no accurate street address that will work with these. They WILL NOT provide accurate directions or driving times. Instead, use the small green milepost signs located at every mile on the side of the highway. We are located at Milepost 102.5 off of the Glenn Highway. Check out our directions page for more information.
- How do I get to you from Anchorage?
Take the Glenn Hwy (Route 1) towards Glenallen. At the Glenn Highway/Parks Highway junction (mile 35) be sure to exit the 4-lane highway (East) to the right to stay on the Glenn Hwy heading towards Palmer. Do NOT go towards Wasilla. Continue on the Glenn Hwy through Palmer (mile 42), Sutton (mile 62) and Chickaloon (Mile 76) then keep driving another 20+ miles.
- Do I have to take my vehicle down to the glacier access?
You will check in and gear up at our base at mile post 102.5 off of the Glenn Highway. After we gear you up, we will take you down to the glacier in our transport.
- Can I just rent gear from you and go out on the glacier on my own?
We do not rent any of our gear to take out on your own.
- Are your trips safe?
There are inherent dangers on the glacier including but not limited to wet and slippery surfaces, steep inclines, moulins and crevasses. Our guides are highly experienced and trained to spot these dangers and manage risks appropriately.
- How many people will be on our trip?
The Ice Fall Trek has six guests for every one guide. Both our climbing Trip and our Advanced Trek have four guests per guide. If you wish to book a trip with more people than these ratios allow, please contact us for possible options.
- Can I bring my camera out on the glacier?
Absolutely! There are many opportunities for photographs on all of our trips.
- Do I have to make a reservation?
While we do accept walk-ins, we recommend that you make a reservation as soon as you know that you want to come on a trip with us. We are often fully booked, which leaves no available guides for those without reservations. We also have an extremely generous 48 hour cancellation policy, so if your plans change we will refund or change your reservation with at least 48 hours notice.
- Is there any way to get to you if I don't have a car?
Most of our guests come in rental cars or RV's. If you don't have transport, you can arrange a trip with Planet Earth Adventures for our glacier experience.
- What if I want to trek on the glacier at a slower pace, or take more breaks?
The Ice Fall Trek is planned to accommodate most of our guests but is not appropriate for everyone. If you would like to go at a slower pace, or be sure to not hold up others, consider booking a private trek with us. In the same four hour time slot, your Guide will help you enjoy the glacier to the greatest extent possible. This may be a good option with multi-generational family groups and children as young as six years. A Private Trek books at the price of six adults.
- What if I want to hike faster and farther?
Consider our Advanced Trek.
- What should I wear for the Ice Climb?
Quick dry (not cotton) clothing is the best for climbing. Long sleeves and long pants are required, thus if it is a warm day, please bring a thin long sleeve shirt. We suggest bringing extra fleece layers and rain layers as well. Sunglasses are required. Lastly, bring a backpack to put everything in.
- What should I wear for glacier trekking?
Quick dry or hiking pants and extra warm layers are suggested. Long pants are required. Even if it is not raining, we suggest that you bring rain gear as the weather can change any time. Wear thick socks that come up over the ankle and your own hiking boots that come above the ankle. Also bring snacks, water and a small daypack if you have one.
- What if I don't have hiking boots?
If you are going on the Ice Fall Trek and don't have a pair of hiking boots that fit at or above your ankle, we will lend you some of ours. For Ice Climbing trips, we will lend you a pair of our ice climbing boots.
- Do I have to pay extra if I borrow your boots or other gear?
No. All of the gear rentals are included in your trip price.
- Is ice climbing scary? Can anyone do it?
While ice climbing, you are always tied into a rope while one of our guides is belaying you and coaching you through the climb. If you can walk up a ladder, you can come ice climb with us! The minimum age for ice climbing is 12 years old.
- I'm not that strong. Will I still enjoy ice climbing?
Ice climbing is about technique as much as it is about strength. Our guides will coach you through developing the best technique possible for you to have a great time on the ice!
- I have really big/small feet. Do you have boots and crampons which will fit me?
Our crampons can fit sizes from children's size 13 through adult men's size 14. For ice climbing trips, we have plastic mountaineering boots which run in sizes from Mens's 4 to 14. We apologize if these sizes do not fit your feet, they do not make sizes outside of this range.

Law enforcement agents and prosecutors have announced multiple conspiracy, money laundering and racketeering charges against 57 people who were involved with Internet café operator Allied Veterans of the World. Law enforcement officials said the operation masqueraded as a charity with less than 2 percent of the profits going to veterans.
They said this is just the first wave of arrests, and more charges are possible. The roles of Jacksonville Fraternal Order of Police President Nelson Cuba and FOP Vice President Robbie Freitas, were not revealed at a multi-agency news conference in Orlando.
Officials also would not discuss what involvement former Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll had in the case. She resigned March 12, a day after being questioned by investigators.
Jacksonville attorney Kelly Mathis, who represented Allied Veterans, was called one of the masterminds of the $300 million racketeering scheme. Investigators claimed he received about $7 million. More
The craft beer industry is asking the Legislature to approve the sale of a new size of growlers, which are reusable containers for taking home draft beer.
According to the bill's summary, it is currently legal for craft beer makers to sell 32-ounce and 128-ounce bottles of beer. Beer makers want to make 64 ounces a legal size as well. They say it is a better size for most consumers, holding about four pints.
The 64-ounce growler is the industry standard and is readily available and much cheaper to acquire than 128-ounce and 32-ounce bottles, beer company officials said.
The name "growler" is believed to have originated in the early 20th century due to the rumbling noise made by the carbon dioxide that rattled the lid of beer pails.
The legislation was up before the Senate Regulated Industries Committee on March 14 and has also been referred to three other committees.
St. Augustine-based social media agency Make Me Social recently added some fins to its clientele.
The 12-employee operation, founded in 2009 by Chief Strategic Officer Josh Jordan, now represents artists with Jimmy Buffett's record label, Mailboat Records, including reggae artist Mishka and Hawaiian ukulele musician Jake Shimabukuro.
The company uses data analytics software to figure out how and when to best target social media audiences for optimal interaction.
"We were able to help get Mishka to number one on iTunes for reggae charts, figure out how to get audiences engaged and excited about the album, then do branding on social media channels," Jordan said.
And they're utilizing a lot of social media channels. Jordan, 37, said the company uses Facebook, Twitter, Blogger, Pinterest, Instagram, Google+, YouTube, Vimeo, Reddit and more to promote its clients, which also include media giant Hearst Publishing and financial services firm Morgan Stanley.
"Everybody's sitting … with a vending machine in their hands. They've got these cell phones, they're tweeting, they're Facebooking, they're taking pictures, they're recording video – and it's a huge opportunity for brands to engage," said Jordan.
Make Me Social has satellite offices in Baltimore, Los Angeles and New York, and Jordan said he hopes the company will continue to bridge the gap between offline and online engagement for a range of clients. More
Dixie Egg Company of Jacksonville has donated 86,400 eggs to the Second Harvest North Florida food bank to help put food on the tables of the hungry for the Easter season.
"We are thrilled to donate much-needed proteins to the Second Harvest Food Bank just in time for the Easter holiday." said Jacques Klempf of Dixie Eggs.
"This is an amazing blessing for us at this time of year," said Bruce Ganger, executive director of Second Harvest. "Eggs are excellent sources of nutrition and proteins for those who are hungry and for those who have food allergies and dietary restrictions. This is the perfect gift at the perfect time."
The donation equals 7,200 dozen eggs.
A quartet of superheroes, Superman, Spiderman, Batman and Robin, dropped in this week on some real-life superheroes — youngsters facing health challenges at Nemours Children's Clinic.
Delighted children watched as the superheroes dropped in with ropes and buckets to clean the windows on the 11-story tower on the Southbank of the St. Johns River on Monday and Tuesday.
Employees from City Wide Maintenance of Jacksonville donned the capes at the request of clinic staff and took time during their lunch hour to meet and greet the children.
Who says superheroes don't do windows?
Pedestrians, bicyclists and traffic fatalities in Jacksonville are increasing dramatically, prompting the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, Florida Highway Patrol and Florida Department of Transportation to start a new safety campaign, "Alert Today, Alive Tomorrow. Safety Doesn't Happen by Accident."
The campaign is asking motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists to be more aware of each other and be more alert.
"We've got a serious problem in Jacksonville," said Duval County Sheriff John Rutherford, who spoke at a news conference March 1 with Transportation Secretary Greg Evans and Maj. Anthony Allen of the FHP.
Traffic fatalities in Jacksonville have increased 34 percent, up from 103 in 2011 to 138 in 2012. Motor vehicle versus pedestrian fatalities increased to 32 in 2012, up from 23 in 2011, and motor vehicle versus bicyclist deaths increased to nine, compared with 5 the previous year.
The $100,000 campaign, funded by the Florida Department of Transportation, will include radio and television advertising, billboards and brochures.
Billy Cosby, one of America's favorite father-figures, embodied the theme of Jacksonville's two-day education summit, "Increasing Parental Involvement."
The 75-year-old comedian and education activist spoke to a full house at The Florida Theatre Feb. 28 on behalf of Mayor Alvin Brown. Action News co-anchor Mark Spain hosted the event, which began with a drum line competition between four Duval County Public Schools — an idea from Cosby.
"Nothing bothers me more than hearing, 'We don't have good schools in Jacksonville,'" Spain said before introducing Cosby.
Sporting sweatpants and a "Learn 2 Earn" T-shirt, Cosby began his lecture by teasing the mayor and poking fun at the Jacksonville Jaguars' past season, comparing them both to well-known cities that are "on the Weather Channel."
"Now they know your pro football team," Cosby said. "Other cities love your pro football team."
Then Cosby took the audience back to his childhood with stories of growing up poor and the old-fashioned days of parenting, when some parents took a more physical approach. The golden three-word rule he used to survive childhood? "Don't talk back."
"In the South you don't get beatings, you get whoopings," Cosby joked.
Cosby said he strongly believes improving the quality of the nation's education begins with parents. He ended with one last call-to-action to the people to fix Jacksonville's education system.
"Nobody is coming," Cosby said. "Only you." More
One Spark needs help — and lots of it. About 800 volunteers are needed to support on-the-ground operations during the April 17-21 event, which is billed as the world's first crowd-funded festival.
"We are looking for volunteers with a shared passion for Jacksonville, especially downtown, and the desire to make One Spark a great experience for attendees," said One Spark Volunteer Services Manager Meredith O'Malley Johnson.
A volunteer open house is scheduled 5:30-7:30 p.m. Feb. 28 at the Main Library, 303 Laura Street in downtown Jacksonville. One Spark team members will pass out volunteer information and answer questions.
Volunteers must be at least 18 years old and take a one-hour training session before the festival. Volunteers must agree to work at least one four-hour shift during the festival week. Visit BeOneSpark.com for more information.
JaxPort's Board of Directors have voted unanimously to inform the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that it wants to dredge the harbor to no less than 47 feet deep to keep the port competitive.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers had recommended Monday that the St. Johns River shipping channel be dredged from its current 40-foot depth to 45 feet deep. Port members, however, said recommended depth is not deep enough for the port to service larger cargo ships from Asia.
The JaxPort board members said they think the 47-feet depth is needed to keep Jacksonville competitive to other East Cost ports.
The federal government will pay 75 percent of the cost to dredge up to 45 feet. Anything deeper than that depth could be paid for with state, federal, local or private funds.
There were no cost figures discussed at Monday's meeting. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will release the draft results of its harbor deepening study in May.
A survivor named Miley will lead Mutt March, Jacksonville Humane Society's fundraiser walk at the Jacksonville Landing from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. March 2.
Miley collapsed and nearly died of respiratory distress from a walk at the JHS. JHS set a goal of raising $100,000 to care for shelter pets at the Mutt March.
"Miley is the perfect dog to represent JHS at Mutt March. She and so many others like her have overcome medical obstacles to bring great joy to their adoptive families. That wouldn't be possible without the funds raised at Mutt March," said Denise Deisler, JHS executive director, according to a press release from the JHS. "We are depending on Mutt March to raise enough money to care for the thousands of pets who rely on JHS for medical care and shelter each year."
The 2-mile Mutt March fun walk and festival will have entertainment, activities for kids and pets, a silent auction and vendors with walking along St. Johns River.
Last year's top fundraiser, JHS board member Lis'e Everly will walk Miley and lead hundreds of other dogs and their families in Mutt March.
"I am walking with Miley in the Mutt March to ensure JHS has the funds needed to care for all of the pets waiting for families with which to share their love," Everly said. "Dogs like Miley stand by us offering us unconditional love, greeting us with enthusiasm and making us smile through the saddest of tears."

Gaby Vandenabeele
It is difficult to write something new about Gaby Vandenabeele, something nobody already knows. His pigeons are part of the Belgian pigeon history. The names of his best breeders like "Kleinen" and "Wittenbuik" are known all over the world where pigeons are flying. Who wouldn't want to have children or grandchildren out of these super ancestors ? A lot is spoken and written about these cracks; they even made video films about these pigeons. Is there something that isn't already said about the pigeons of Gaby Vandenabeele ? I really can't imagine... There are no secrets in Dentergem, only that there are extraordinary birds. By talking to many different pigeon fanciers I found out that they all are very interested in how they came to build such a succesful colony...Probably the best colony in Belgium ! And in the world ?
Louis Janssen is getting very old...the latest brother of the famous Janssen dynasty. Well in my opinion, the world is ready for a new legend, born with the name Gaby Vandenabeele...
The time of the "Kleinen"
The house of the Vandenabeele family was build in 1977 with a loft in the back of this house. The first pigeons that moved to this brand new loft came from his father Gentiel who also was a fantastic fancier in the West Flanders, when it came down to the middle distance races. The base of Gentiel was build up around the pigeons of the famous loft Valère Desmet-Matthys (Nokere), Pol Bostyn (Moorslede) and Lucien Verstraete (Deinze). So the pigeons of father Gentiel were also at the base of the colony of Gaby. Three lines;being the line of the "Kleinen", the "Bijter" and the "Groten" became the pillar of the success of the colony in Dentergem. I once called them the carrying pillars of the base of Gaby but as I already explained earlier that one pillar can stand more weight than the other... So throughout the years it became clear that the pillar of the line of the "Kleinen" was the strongest and that's why most of the descendants came out of this bird. But let's find out all about it...
The Kleinen , B 81-3238253, was breeder N°1 for many years. He never saw a basket but still, the rush to the top of the Belgian pigeon sport
Gaby bred the Kleinen himself and the luck was all on his side, as they used to say in our sport. The father of "Kleinen", the "Zitterke", B 80-4055428, was borrowed of Jozef Delodder of Zulte, after he flew a first prize from Orléans with very hot weather and strong wind. The "Zittterke" only could stay for a short time at Gaby's and at that moment he didn't seem to have the proper hen in his own team. The best hens were already coupled and so Gaby went to his good friend Gilbert Van Parijs, who used to play very hard with his youngsters at the time. Gilbert immediately offered his "Ameyeke" B77-3064419, to pair against the "Zitterke". This Ameyeke was one of his best hens.
Already as a youngster this bird flew like no other and afterwards she also proved to be a perfect breeding hen. So the world famous " Kleinen" was the product of the couple "Zitterke" & "Ameyeke". The "Kleinen" got his name because he was a rather small pigeon but later on he belonged to the middling size. Paired to the "Goed Jong 76" of father Gentiel, the Kleinen immediately became sire of the "Picanol" B82-3258240, a true superbird that reached the title of provincial Ace Pigeon already as a yearling. Later on he also seemed to take care of very good descendants at the breeding section. One of his best daughters, was the Sissi, B88-3206088, which became the base hen at the loft of the famous Dutch fancier Ad Schaerlaeckens...
(Info about the lofts : All the lofts are made of wood, 4 lofts for widowers, 2 within each 12 birds and 2 within each 16 birds. One loft is about 2.40 m on 1.80 m. There are three lofts for young birds and the size is about 3.00 m on 2.40. Then there is a breeding loft and a loft for the couples that raise the youngsters of the breeding couples. The breeding lofts also have extensive aviaries where the birds can have more than enough freedom to help keep them in good condition. The widowers and spare hens are separate in the outside lofts. There are also open aviaries where I can house pigeons that are not being used at any particular time.)
Also the Fideel B 83-3105147 ( picture below ), is a son of the couple Zitterke x Ameyeke. He was also a big help for the fame created in Dentergem. Among other prizes he flew a 2nd national Limoges against 6.911 pigeons. A son of "The Fideel", the "Schone Fideel", B 86-3043047, is father of the "Blauwe Fideel", B 93-3050068, which won the 1st national prize from Brive (661 km) against 4.719 old birds and 3.970 2-year old birds.
The number of the succesful descendants of the "Kleinen" becomes bigger every year after year. He succeeded to become father of many super pigeons with several different hens. The star of the year 1988 was without any doubt the Wittenbuik, B 88-3206112 ( picture below ), when he was coupled to the Flicka. After a wonderful career as a widower, he moved to the breeding section in 1992. Gaby would never be sorry about this decision.
Still I would like to stay a bit longer to the "Kleinen" that produced one crack after another. Names like "Dokus", "Stier", "Turbo", "Bambino", "Wolfgang", "Parel", etc... - all sons of the "Kleinen" - remind us of the greatest results and it also proves his breeding qualities of these exceptional pigeons. It was in spring of 1995 that this fantastic Kleinen died and he left a kind of emptiness on the breeding section...
Nevertheless the open space was soon fulfilled with his son the "Wittenbuik". Very soon it seemed that the cock even had more breeding qualities than his famous father. With many different hens this male bird gave true super class! Sons and daughters of this wonderful cock scored very strong in his racing career and on the breeding loft and not only in Dentergem. But at this moment the super career of the "Wittenbuik" is finished too...The bird is 14 yeras old and they still don't know which one will become the next super pigeon...of the Vandenabeele colony. Some of his sons proved their capacities but it won't be a son but a grandson that will take over the torch. Time will tell!
Maybe Bliksem ( picture below ) ? This is a grandson of Wittenbuik and fantastic pigeon !
Five National and 62 provincial victories !
Isn't it wonderful when you can show the world such a super result with 5 national and 62 provincial victories in a period of 14 years ( 1988 - 2003 ). Of course sometimes you need a bit of luck too. Just like 1995 was a fantastic year with 3 national and 12 provincial victories. It's really hard to believe that these super results can ever be surpassed. After all the results of 1995 can not stand as a measure to the following seasons of Gaby to conclude wronglyu that it's not that good anymore just because the number of victories will not be the same...
Some of the superstars of the last few years on the section of the widowers must be the "Jonge Kadet" B 98-3158024 ( picture below ) and the "Bliksem" B98-3158062. The "Jonge Kadet" convinced with several top-prizes and his best was the 1st Interprovincial Chateauroux ( 479 KM ) against 8.214 yearlings. The "Bliksem", a grandson of the Wittenbuik, had a super season in 2000. He was able to fly more prizes in the top 5 and on 16-07-2000 he got the interprovincial victory from Poitiers against 1.488 pigeons ( 538 KM ). With these results the "Bliksem" could have become National Ace-pigeon on the middle distance but only if Gaby would have played him on Bourges on 30-07-2000 instead of putting him in on Périgeux against 1.119 old pigeons. In this weekend it is the only flight from Bourges that counts to become ace-pigeon. There was no other choice. While the moral winner, the "Bliksem", still had the lowest coefficient at this point. Sire of the "Bliksem" is a son of Wittenbuik, namely the "Kolonel" that also has some other descendants.
SUCCESS over the BELGIAN BORDERS TOO...
Vandenabeele pigeons are famous and wanted very much. All over the world where people like the pigeonsport like Germany, Holland, Poland, Denmark, England, Japan, China, Taiwan and the United States,... these Vandenabeele pigeons are successful...The only thing these birds need is patience because they grow rather slowly ( However in the Million Dollar Race this year in 2003, the first belgian pigeon from Mr Silvere Toye was a 100 % Gaby Vandenabeele bird, that raced there as a youngbird ). Only after the second moulting they turn out to be at their best, then they are really strong.
It is not possible to write down all the names of pored top results since many years and all with the race of Gaby. With 6125,23 points he became 11th national eople playing very succesful with the pigeons of Gaby. Still I would like to mention one or 2 names like Tony Van Ravenstein from Xanten ( Germany ) who already scChampion in Germany. Some years ago, in 1998 his X9878-95-827, a grandson of Wittenbuik, became 3rd national Ace pigeon of Germany with 961 points.
Witpen Wittenbuik, superbreeder of Koen Minderhoud, a topracer in Holland.
Till now also Koen Minderhoud from Westkappelle in Holland, won top results with the birds of Gaby. It is almost unbelievable that Koen succeeded to win such prizes where he lives in Koudekerke and I am sure that he will do even better here. As many others also Koen based his colony on the line of the "Wittenbuik" and so he has breed very closely, in other words these vandenabeele-pigeons can stand the inbreed very well. The order of rank that Ravenstein, Linsen-Moll and Minderhoud were introduced has nothing to do with their qualities as a fancier. They are only shown as an example of fanciers that became succesful with the pigeons of Gaby.
From the past to the present...
Nevertheless it's not easy to find the proper material to cross breed for such a succesful fancier. You surely can imagine that the others must be very strong to improve or even stay on the same level of the Vandenabeele-base.

Missing Tourist Appears
VIENNA ~ An Austrian tourist who went missing for a week in Sumatra resurfaced on Wednesday, Austrian Foreign Affairs spokeswoman Astrid Harz said.
Franz Resch, 46, from Attersee in Upper Austria had lost his way while trekking in the jungle due to bad weather and was only able to make his way back to civilization on Wednesday, Harz said.
He alerted local police around 1:30pm after reaching the village of Sibolangit, media reports said.
An Austrian Foreign Ministry representative who was in Indonesia spoke with Resch and was expected to meet him, Harz said.
Resch had set off alone to climb the jungle-clad 2,174-metre Mount Sibayak on January 23 and was reported missing three days later by staff at the hotel where he was staying when he failed to return.
His disappearance led to a widespread search by the authorities.Filed under: The Nation

Sri Lanka has disclosed plans to use 100 per cent renewable energy to generate its electricity by 2030. The target is part of the Long-term Generation Expansion Plan 2015-2034 that has been proposed by the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB). The Ministry of National Policies and Economic Affairs announced the ambitious target this week.
Sri Lanka's installed power capacity at the start of 2015 was 3.9 gigawatts, with 11 per cent covered by renewable energy. The country's renewable energy capacity is dominated by mini-hydro power installations, which contribute a total of 293 megawatts capacity. Sri Lanka's wind energy sector represents 124 megawatts capacity to the national grid.
The CEB is aiming to increase the renewable power capacity to 972 megawatts by 2020, which would contribute 20 per cent to the total energy production in the country.
Under the Long-term Generation Expansion Plan, renewable energy capacity in 2034 is expected to reach 1,897 megawatts, with wind energy being the dominant power source. Wind energy is expected to overtake mini-hydro power capacity by 2023.

We look forward to celebrating 710 and giving our members discounts and seeing them win free meds
(PRWEB) June 25, 2013
MedMar Healing Center announces they are hosting a special celebration for 7/10. Many people are familiar with 4/20, a day of celebrating medical marijuana, but now there is 7/10, which focuses on celebrating medical marijuana flowers and concentrates. The number 710 was chosen as the special day, because when it is turned upside down "OIL" is spelled out. This day of celebration is being referred to as "Dab Day," and will take place from 10:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the MedMar Healing Center, which is located at 170 Autumn St. in San Jose.
"We look forward to celebrating 710 and giving our members discounts and seeing them win free meds," explains Douglas Chloupek of MedMar Healing Center. "We invite people to stop by during our business hours on July 10th and take part in the celebration."
To celebrate 710, MedMar Healing Center will be offering a 20 percent discount on all waxes throughout the whole month of July. On July 10, 2013, they will also be hosting games for all members, giving everyone the opportunity to win free medicine. The medicinal marijuana prizes that are up for grabs include Edible, a gram of wax, and the Vaped Pen Vaporizer. Members can play a ball toss game where every member is guaranteed to win a prize. There will also be additional celebration specials throughout the month of July.
The Vaped Pen Vaporizer, which is becoming increasingly popular, is used to ingest the active ingredient in marijuana, tetrahydrocannabinol. The vaporizer delivers the active ingredient, but virtually eliminates the smoke, as well as nearly any toxins that may be present.
"Members always appreciate the celebrations and special events we hold," added Chloupek. "This will be another great event that we invite all medical marijuana patients to attend. It celebrates all the great medical marijuana options available, and gives people a fun way to get discounts and prizes."
MedMar Healing Center is located in downtown San Jose at 170 S. Autumn St. They provide a full range of medical marijuana products for Prop 215 patients, flowers, concentrates, edibles, tinctures, and more. Conditions that qualify for medical marijuana use in California include cancer, AIDS, anorexia, chronic pain, spasticity, glaucoma, arthritis, migraine headaches, insomnia, premenstrual syndrome, post traumatic stress disorder, depression, and substance abuse, among others. For more information, visit http://www.sjmedmar.com, or call (408) 385-9600.

Hurricane season is here and it is never too early to start preparing for your pets safety. Never leave pets behind when you evacuate! If the power goes out, temperatures can soar to dangerous levels for pets that can be potentially fatal. Leaving food and water out for your pet may not be enough to ensure their safety.
Here are some tips to ensure that your pets will be safe in the even of a natural disaster: v Call hotels or motels at your destination to identify pet-friendly lodging. Be sure to call early as these rooms fill up quickly! Some hotel/motel chains that accept pets include: Holiday Inn, Marriot, HoJo, Motel6, LaQuinta Inn, Red Roof Inn, etc.
If you are unable to bring your pet to your final destination:
- Ask friends or relatives if they would be able to care for your pet(s). Ensure that these caretakers are a safe distance away from the storm path.
- Contact your veterinarian (or a veterinarian at your destination) for available boarding/kennel facilities that are accepting pets.
- Contact the local animal shelter to see if they provide foster care or emergency shelter for pets.
- Food: The Humane Society of the United States suggests bringing food and water for at least five days for each pet. Dry food should be stored in an airtight, waterproof container. Don't forget a can opener for canned food!
- Water: In the event that clean water in unavailable, make sure to pack enough bottled water for your family and pets.
- Food & Water Bowls: Travel size and plastic bowls are much easier to transport on the road.
- Medical Records + Medications: Keep all of your pet's vaccine history, microchip number and medications in a safe, waterproof container. Make sure that your pet is wearing a collar with identification and up-to-date rabies tag.
- Leash/Carrier: Don't forget to pack a leash or harness for your pet. Carriers should be large enough for your pet to stand, turn around and lay down comfortably.
- Cats: Keep cats in a carrier during transport to ensure their safety and prevent escaping. Pack at least 7 days worth of cat litter and a small litter pan for traveling (aluminum roasting pans work great).
- Photos: Current photos could help reunite you and your pet in the event that you become separated.
- Clean Up: Pack garbage bags, disinfectants/cleaners, and poop pick-up bags to pet areas clean and sanitary.
- Extras: Pack blankets or toys to keep your pets comfortable during the evacuation. Some pets may require boxes to hide under (especially kitties) or storm clothing for anxiety (i.e. Thunder Shirt).

Obliphica Professional Artistic Director Sacha Quarles, a celebrity stylist
The Amazing Superfruit for Scalp and Hair
A collection from Obliphica Professional puts a twist on hair that's rich, smooth and shiny.
A chic vibe combined with an unstructured boho aesthetic served as the inspiration for the latest body of work seen exclusively on these pages from Obliphica Professional Artistic Director Sacha Quarles. "Down is the new 'it' 'do for special occasions," says the celebrity stylist, who used Obliphica Professional's rejuvenating Seaberry range to fashion soft bends in the hair rather than traditional curls. "The goal was to craft gorgeous texture that's not so regimented," says Quarles. Plaits were also key to the collection. "Braids add an entirely different styling dimension to the hair that goes way beyond color," Quarles says. "With them, you get a beautiful illusion of movement and flair."
Twenty-four hours in the life of the Obliphica Professional artistic director 4 a.m. The alarm goes off; it's the first day of IBS New York 2014 and my first big show as artistic director for…

Hello blog, it's been a while! And it's been a heck of a year and a half. We've done nothing but bounce up and down the east coast since two January's ago. Between moving to New York, having a baby, TDY training in Virginia, starting a deployment, moving some more, finishing a deployment, and then a surprise thrown on top, all I can say is WOW. Praise God for what looks like a stretch of relative ease laid out ahead of us. But everything we've done in this last year and half deserves to go down in the record book, because even for Army standards it's pretty crazy. So here goes...
We moved out of our last home in Georgia in January of 2013.
> Stayed with friends in the area for a week.
> Drove to Virginia and lived with family for three weeks.
> Drove to New York to find housing, put an offer on a house, then back to Virginia for a little longer.
> Moved to New York and into a hotel for ten days.
> Moved into a friends house {God bless her} for about two and a half weeks while we waited to get the keys to our new house.
> Moved into our new house. Started unpacking and doing tons of necessary renovation projects while in the third trimester of pregnancy with Silas {exhausting...}.
> Found out Thane was going to deploy in the fall, and started the long strings of out-of-town training for weeks at a time. Bonus: Spent an awesome week with my bestie Sarah in Massachusetts who I hadn't seen in six long years!
> Thane got done with his training and my due date approached. There was a lot of back and forth over whether he was being sent to another month of training that overlapped my due date, but he didn't go in the end, praise God.
> Silas was born!
> Family came to visit the new baby.
> Packed up and moved to a hotel in VA where Thane had a TDY course for two months.
> In the meantime, we went back and forth to see family on the weekends and prep for where we'd live (in VA) for part of the upcoming deployment.
> The TDY course in Virginia ended and we drove back to New York.
> Two weeks later, Thane deployed.
> Less than 24 hours after Thane deployed, I shut the house down, packed us up, and drove us back to Virginia.
> The boys and I stayed in Virginia near family for three months, then drove back to New York.
> After three months in New York {and a very cold, snowy winter}, we went back to Virginia for a five week visit.
> Then it was back to New York for the remaining eight or so weeks of the deployment.
> Thane came home, hallelujah! I had my husband back, the boys had their daddy back, praise God.
> We had a great few days. I felt like I could actually breath again.
> Then the exhaustion set in.
> And then came the surprise I mentioned earlier.
Oh. My. Gosh.
And so my few days of "normal" were followed by a few months of the first trimester yuckies. Which wasn't exactly the plan...at least not so suddenly. But His plans are usually different than mine {understatement of the year}, and they're always for the best. And needless to say, we're very thankful for a big surprise and a big blessing all rolled up into one! {Yuckies included}. Now I'm very very hopeful that the next few months will be energy-filled and maybe even a tad normal, if that still exists. And maybe- fingers crossed- that means more blogging! But no promises... :-)

US Rep. Honors Victims of OK City Bombing, Warns Congress Against Overblown Rhetoric
Congresswoman Betty McCollum (MN-04) issued the following statement on the House floor, regarding H.Res. 1206. This resolution commemorates the victims who died in the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on April 19, 1995:
"Madam Speaker, today I rise to remember the victims of the 1995 terrorist attack in Oklahoma City that killed 168 people. This act of American terrorism was committed by a man who viewed the federal government as such a threat that it justified mass murder.
"I applaud my colleague from Oklahoma for her resolution because it serves as a reminder that right-wing, anti-government extremist groups are on the rise today.
"Only two weeks ago members of a so-called Christian militia in Michigan were arrested by the FBI for plotting to kill law enforcement officers in the hopes of inciting an
anti-government uprising.
"A national civil rights organization has documented a growing number of hate groups in America and states they are 'driven largely by an angry backlash against non-white immigration ... the economic meltdown, and the climb to power of an African American president.'
"Or, in one word - racism.
"Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center states, 'Individuals associated with the Patriot movement during its 1990s heyday produced an enormous amount of violence, most dramatically the Oklahoma City bombing...'
"Today, Mr. Potok states, 'as the movement has exploded, so has the reach of its ideas,
aided and abetted by commentators and politicians...'
"Only last month a Fox News commentator, with Members of Congress next to him, rallied a Tea Party crowd by disparaging Congress and calling the crowd 'all these Tim McVeigh wannabes here' to the crowds cheers and applause.
"When Members of Congress compare health care legislation to 'government tyranny,' 'socialism,' or 'totalitarianism' - in the hopes of scoring political points is like pouring gas on the fire of extremism.
"The Members of this House Democrats and Republicans - have a duty and an obligation to end the dangerous name-calling that can only inspire the extremist militias and phony patriots.
"In the most free, prosperous and greatest democracy on earth it is time to return to a civil, decent debate of public policy.
"I don't want another 'Oklahoma City' to ever take place again.
"Just as we would not give aid and comfort to al-Qaeda, let us not allow the words of elected leaders give comfortable excuses to extremists bent on violence.
"Words have power for both good and evil. I implore my colleagues to temper their rhetoric and not allow the words of a Member of Congress to be used by any violent militia or hate filled phony-patriots to perpetrate violence.
"The victims of the Oklahoma City bombing were women at work, men waiting in line for government services, and children in a day care center. Families were torn apart and struggled to heal. A community was devastated but is again filled with hope and memories.
"I hope with this resolution every Member of Congress will reflect upon the victims of Oklahoma City as well as our duty as elected federal leaders in a proud and free country.
"Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to revise and extend my remarks, and I yield back my time."
*Congresswoman Betty McCollum serves on the House Appropriations and Budget Committees.

Intermittent memory issues and hangs in Domino Designer
While using IBM Domino Designer, you are experiencing repeated hangs or symptoms of memory issues (such as the error, "JVM: Out of Memory") even though your machine has at least 2 GB of physical RAM. Although the problems are frequent, you are unable to link them to a particular set of steps. You may observe that the issues occur more often under certain conditions, but there's still an intermittent nature to the problem.
Other possible patterns or symptoms:
- The issues are more likely to show themselves after Designer has been running for a few hours.
- The hour glass (busy cursor) is displaying more frequently, even when performing seemingly simple tasks such as opening a form or an XPage.
- Switching between editors is now taking awhile.
Resolving The Problem
Most likely, a set of default configurations for Notes/Designers' use of the JVM needs to be modified. The JVM is the runtime upon which Java programs execute. For Notes and Domino Designer, the JVM settings are stored in a file called jvm.properties that is located in the following path:
<Notes program dir>/framework/rcp/deploy/jvm.properties
By default, the properties file has the following values:
If you have at least 2 GB of physical RAM, close all instances of Notes, Domino Designer, and Domino Administrator, and then change the settings to the following values:
NOTE: In a post Notes/Designer 9.0 releases, higher values, not necessarily matching the values suggested above, will be set by default. But, for 9.0, you will need to change them manually.
- vmarg.XMx - defines the maximum amount of memory that Notes/Designer will consume.
- vMarg.XMs - defines the minimum amount of memory that Notes/Designer will consume.
- vmarg.Xmca - defines the block size by which Notes/Designer will increase memory by when either need more than the minimum.
- With these changes, Notes and Designer will start out with 512 MB memory (up from 48 MB) and, if more memory is needed, the JVM will add blocks of 512 KB and finally cap out at 768 MB.
- The result of these changes is that Notes and Designer have more of the available memory to start out with. Equally important, when Designer needs more memory, it will be able to assign it in blocks up to 768 MB.
- With the original settings, Designer can spend a great deal of time adding memory in small 8 K blocks or trying to free preassigned memory blocks when the 256 MB upper limit is reached. As a result, it appears to hang/freeze when actually it is working to allocate or free up memory in order for the program to run.
- Notes and Designer share the same JVM, so the changes you make will also change Notes' use of the JVM. Possible considerations:
- If Notes is run, it will have the same heap size settings as Designer.
- Notes, when run without Designer, will also have a minimum memory footprint of 512 MB and a maximum footprint of 768 MB.
- When Notes and Designer are run at the same time they will share the assigned memory, that is the maximum memory usage by the two programs combined will not exceed 1024 MB.
Further diagnosis:
If a developer suspects the JVM properties may be related to poor experience in Designer but is reluctant to edit the jvm.properties file without more information, the developer can use the Java heap monitor tool in Designer to display the amount of memory used.
The Java heap monitor is enabled in Designer properties. Detailed steps to enable it are:
1. In Designer, choose File -> Preferences.
2. Change to the General preference panel.
3. Select the checkbox for "Show heap size" and then click OK.
The monitor displays information on the status bar. If you see Designer is consistently running with 75% to 80% (or more) of the available memory used, this indicates Designer does not have enough memory to operate effectively. The jvm.properties file must be modified as documented above.
