Top 10 consumer problems of 2015
Written by Madeline Daniels and Susan Grant | July 26, 2016
Have you ever received an unexpected call from the IRS, a utility company, or tech support demanding immediate payment or your personal information? "Don't assume that it's true," says Susan Grant, director of consumer protection and privacy at the Consumer Federation of America (CFA). Imposter scams were the fastest-growing complaints to state and local consumer protection agencies last year, according to a just-released annual survey report from CFA and the North American Consumer Protection Investigators.Read more...

"...We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests...you will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution -- but from annihilation...'We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive!' Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!"
"We have a chance to bring freedom to all of Asia, including China, and we should pursue it with a very positive engagement proposal of trade and strict adherence to human rights,"
"It is outrageous to think that if you are on the side of freedom for the Chinese people and opposed to communism that you are anything but pro-Chinese."

Robert Kardashian Health Scare Is a Window Into an Epidemic Afflicting the Rest of The World
Diabetes doesn't always come in the shapes and sizes that we think of either. To be sure, it is easy to blame the disease on "poor lifestyle choices" made by individuals who could otherwise prevent the afflictions of the disease on themselves. But the potential for developing the disease also has to do with genetics.

Additional Complaint Information
According to information in BBB files, this company has complaints involving sales, advertising, service, refund/exchange, product, custom service, guarantee or warranty issues. Consumers allege this company calls them for an offer of a free shampoo cleaning in their home. BBB complaints allege the company offer may be misleading because the free shampoo cleaning is included after the consumer sits through a Kirby vacuum presentation. After the customer buys and receives the vacuum, they report confusion regarding the "3 day cancellation" policy the company offers. When the complainant is able to contact the company about obtaining a refund or returning the product, the business may deny their request. Additionally, consumers allege receiving numerous telemarketing phone calls from the business that include consumers that claim to be on the National Do Not Call Registry. Consumers allege the company may continue to call, even after the consumer asks them to stop. At this time, Sun West Kirby is responding and resolving some, but not all BBB complaints.

What a perfect venue for our family weekend. The cabin has absolutely everything you need, from the well equipped kitchen, to the lovely deck with gorgeous views, to plenty of space to spread out!! Our extended family of 16 couldn't have been happier! The "Dancing Bear" is located close to Deadwood & Sturgis, and easy to find, thanks to the directions provided. We would all highly recommend this property again.
The Legend is a beautiful place for any size family! We cooked our sons rehearsal dinner for 40 and the kitchen was the perfect size for prep work. It is in a beautiful and very quiet neighborhood and covenient to Deadwood and surrounding areas. The owners are extremely responsive to any needs as well and are very nice to work with!
Fifty family members gathered from eight states to celebrate mother's 80th birthday. We stayed in three of the properties. Everything about it was perfect: the location, the weather, the accommodations, and the fellowship. Staying here is highly recommended.
We had never tried this type of vacation before and so we weren't sure if this was for us. We were celebrating our 45th anniversary and so we wanted to be together and yet have our own space. Our group consisted of my husband and I and our two grown sons and their families. The cabin was exactly as advertised and the pictures were just as the house appeared. We could not have been more pleased. Everything was clean and well taken care of. It was in a very safe neighborhood where we felt as if we could go walking, fishing, golfing, and if we wanted we could pack up and head for the many attractions in the area. I would definitely recommend this property to my friends. Liz from Minnesota
We held our annual trip at The Legends in August 2015. Our goal was stay at a house within reasonable distance of the National Sites and Parks of South Dakota and Wyoming. This house was perfect for that.
We had 10 people in our group, ages 7 - 66 years old. We enjoyed the large kitchen/family room and that we could all gather together for meals. The kitchen had all the supplies needed too. The deck was wonderful in the morning with the amazing views. The bedrooms were also a good size and had lots of closet space. Also, plenty of bathrooms for all our guests. The kids really enjoyed the lower level pool table and hot tub. In the evenings, the adults could enjoy time together on the main level while the kids utilized the downstairs. It worked perfect for our group. The outside yard was great for the kids/adults to play football. We would recommend this home to any large group.
We held our family reunion at the Legend and Dancing Bear in mid June. 33 in all, Ages ranged from 72 - 3.
The houses are lovely with well stocked kitchens and ample towels and linens. Close to National parks and other attractions. The back deck is perfect to take in the beautiful views and the hot tub is a perfect ending to a day of fun.

[Watch] Here's What Happens When Your Side Chick Crashes Your Wedding
It's a scene out of a Tyler Perry movie.
Producers at American Idol are done playing musical chairs with the cast of the upcoming season. Superstar rapper Nicki Minaj and country singer Keith Urban finalized deals to complete the revamped judges panel alongside Mariah Carey and Randy Jackson.
According to the Hollywood Reporter Idol producers confirmed reports of the new line-up on Sunday [September 16] and the panel got right to work preparing for season 12 of the talent competition. After signing Carey in July and deciding to bring Jackson back for another season Minaj and Urban are the final piece to the puzzle. And they didn't come cheap. The Young Money star is reportedly taking home $12 million, while Urban is coming in at half that price tag. Carey's salary is said to be $18 million as she was the first new judge to sign on after the departure of Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler.
Auditions for the upcoming season begin in New York on Sunday.

So I received the tool and bought my Craftsman feeler gauge from my local Sears. Opened the valve cover and start working. My first valve adjustment job didn't went so smooth. I figured having this valve adjustment tool would save me some time and a lot of hassles, but it wasn't. My tool said 10mm on it's package and also marked 10mm on it's body. It is in fact a 12mm in my case. It was useless and fortunately I have my ordinary screwdriver and wrench to finish the job. Put the valve cover back and cleaned my hands.
I was quite surprised about this because it received so many five stars. Amazon gave me a refund without actually returning the tool which save me a trip to the post office. not bad
Check the size before you open your valve cover and check out the pictures that I have uploaded in the Gallery. Thank you for reading
and a screwdriver successfully. Until I got the Honda S2000, there is just no way to fit in a 10mm wrench
on the jamb nut. This tool fits the bill perfectly, saving a lot of time and frustration.
If I had one improvement to make, it would be to change the screwdriver handle from a straight handle to
a "T" handle. That way you have more precision in the angular adjustment, as each adjustment step is
like 5 degrees for best accuracy.
On my Honda Accord - this was a HUGE PAIN! The exhaust valves were pretty straightforward, no real obstructions. But for the intake valves - fuel rails and other stuff was in the way, so using a standard wrench was a tremendous pain and really time consuming. Without this tool, it's really easy to move the tappet screws and be off by just a bit, and have to re-do the valve. This eliminates most error.
Really, if you're going to do your own valve clearance adjustments, do yourself a BIG BIG favor and spend the 14$ and get one of these. You'll cut your job time in half.
Lastly, I had seen a few one star reviews saying they got a 12mm tool. I can't speak to these individuals, it may well be true. 12mm tools do exist for valve adjustments (but are made by different companies it seems, or at least rebranded). Right when this arrived, I tested it on a 10mm bolt, and it fit perfectly. So, what I got was 100% a 10mm tool.
However, I do have one small complaint. The screw head is blocked from the user's view for about 180-degrees, as the tube connecting the hex end to the handle is semi-circular. When I was doing my valve adjustment, there were a couple of valves that needed to be adjusted blind due to space limitations. This is only a minor complain because the tool still makes the adjustments very easy to perform even if the user can't see what they're doing, but it would have been nice if I had been able to get a view of the screw head from any angle. Perhaps a better design would be to have a number of small-diameter rods connecting the hex end to the handle rather than a semicircular tube. Then a view of the screw could be maintained at all times while the tool would maintain its functionality.
Overall, my one complaint is very minor. This tool saved me a load of time and many headaches. It was well worth the investment.

The Homeless Crisis In San Francisco That Nobody Is Talking About
CREDIT: Shutterstock
Daisy first became homeless when she was 18 years old after she left a verbally, emotionally, and physically abusive household in Hayward, California to move across the bay to San Francisco. Over the next year, she slept in shelters and on friends' couches, in their garages, and in their cars. Even with those challenges, she enrolled full time at City College and held down a job.
People were always amazed to learn that she didn't have a home while doing all of that. "They couldn't believe it, like, how could you be at school full time, how could you work full time, and still be homeless?" she said. "It's very possible in the Bay Area – highly possible – especially for a young person."

For many city residents, homelessness is all around. They often think of the man publically urinating on Market Street or the woman sleeping on a sidewalk in the Tenderloin neighborhood.
But homelessness in the city also looks like Daisy, a young person going to school and work with no where to live. According to the most recent point-in-time homeless count, 1,441 youth between the ages of 18 and 24 are either sleeping on the streets or in shelters on any given night. Over 20 percent of San Francisco's homeless population is between the ages of 18- and 24-years-old.
Despite well-intentioned assessments, affordable housing plans, and partnership initiatives between the city and community outreach groups, progress in addressing the lack of housing for this demographic is alarmingly slow. The longer these youth remain without supportive, appropriate housing, the more likely they are to become chronically homeless as adults.
By definition, transitional age youth, or TAY, are between the ages of 16 and 24. They are in the process of transitioning out of public systems, including foster care, and into life as independent adults. The demographic is at a high risk of incarceration, substance abuse, homelessness, and more.
Becoming homeless during this time can have a lasting impact. "For a young person, having an extended period of homelessness is really going to relegate them to a bleaker future," said Bevan Dufty, San Francisco's director of Housing Opportunity, Partnerships and Engagement (HOPE), and Mayor Ed Lee's (D) go-to point person for homelessness.
Homeless youth are more likely to practice high-risk behaviors and often struggle with mental health issues. According to the city's 2015 homeless count and survey, TAY have more than double the rate of HIV/AIDS than their older, homeless peers (13 percent versus 6 percent for the broader population).
They also face numerous educational and employment barriers, which impedes their chances of becoming self-sufficient, financially stable adults. Nearly 40 percent of San Francisco's homeless youth over the age of 18 have not completed high school or received a GED. Nationally, young people who experience homelessness are 87 percent more likely to stop going to school, according to a 2014 report.
Taylor, 24, spent most of her life at other's people houses, sleeping on their floors and couches. Her mother struggled with mental illness and couldn't hold down a steady job.
Like a lot of TAY coming out of difficult living situations, Taylor has struggled to find housing in San Francisco. When she went to Larkin Street Youth Services last year, it was her first bed in a decade.
But she knows how critical having a home is for someone near her age. "For people to become successful, you have to have stability. You have to," she said. "I have to be housed in order to feel like I can do something with my life."
The city is also aware of how important housing is when it comes to helping this population. "We have organizations that are doing a very good job of serving this population – we just can't house them," Dufty said. "It's not a service issue, it's a housing issue."
But San Francisco is in the midst of a housing crisis. On average, the city has added just 1,500 units annually over the past 20 years – even as the population continues to grow by tens of thousands.
In 2007, San Francisco made new housing for TAY a top priority. At any given time, there was approximately four and a half times the number of homeless youth in San Francisco than there was available housing. To address this, the mayor's office, under the directive of then-mayor Gavin Newsom, created a TAY Housing Plan, which set a goal to create 400 additional units of housing for this population by 2015.
According to Anne Romero, a project manager with the Mayor's Office of Housing and Community Development, "the reason that we selected 400 units was because we thought that that was something that was actually achievable." But even 400 wouldn't be enough. Romero admits that it was not going to match the number of TAY actually requiring housing.
Even so, the city is nowhere close to reaching its goal this year. As of this month, 263 of the 400 units have either been completed, are under construction, or have land identified to begin construction. That leaves 137 units up in the air.
The economy is partly to blame for the delay. The TAY housing goal was initially discussed before the recession hit. "When the economy went bust, it held up a lot of the building of affordable and subsidized units in this city," said Glenn Eagleson, San Francisco's citywide lead for TAY services.
There's been another big obstacle for TAY housing development: neighborhood opposition. The pushback comes from NIMBYists – residents who don't want to see these kinds of low-income housing developments in their backyards. They dispute anything from zoning changes to environmental impact reports to the potential of increased criminal activity in their neighborhoods. With resistance like this, TAY housing developments can miss important funding deadlines, adding years to a project's timeline. Some transitional housing developments, such as the Booker T. Washington and the Edward II facilities, were delayed by over three years because of lawsuits and appeals.
"These appeals have the effect of literally taking needed housing out from underneath young peopled during a critical period of their lives," said Adele Failes-Carpenter, director of the San Francisco Youth Commission.
In the debate over how to house the homeless, TAY are often invisible. "People don't tend to think of youth when they think of homelessness," said Eagleson. "They tend to think of the middle-aged guy on the street corner that they see."
"People often think that all of these homeless people are people that came from somewhere else," Eagleson explained. "They're choosing to be Bohemian or they're choosing to be here." But he noted that half of them are natives of the area, and for the others who may come for the weather, they're no different than other people who migrate to the city.
"We don't turn our back to the 40-year-olds who come to the Bay Area because they like the weather, why should we turn our back to the 20-year-old who came for the same reason?" he asked.

Talk:Monitor (synchronization)
|WikiProject Computing
Hi guys, I added the bit about Mesa vs. Hoare semantics, but was logged in anonymously. Just wanted to put a name to the edit. I'm not sure if it's really the most elegant way to display the information; does anyone have any suggestions? --Voorhies 22:22, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I was just wondering, is there some way that this page can appear when one searches for "java monitor"? Currently the Javan Rhinocerous gets a higher relevancy then "concurrent programming languages" when using that search term, and this page doesn't appear at all. Thanks! Nekonobaka
A good overview article, but the paragraph "In most modern implementations,..." is a bit misleading to my mind. This "modern" monitor way is the sematics of Java Programming Language. For some reason (perhaps speed which is a bad argument in safety critical systems) they did not follow monitor semantics defined in 70's but made their own. This causes much confusion (in this very page the queue examples do not work correctly if they are to be implemented in java).
Perhaps this page should tell that there are three semantics in use for monitors: hoare (signal-and-wait), mesa (signal-and-continue) and Java (the "modern").
- I don't think that "modern" is a standard term for either signal-and-continue (as the article stands now) or for Java semantics (as proposed). I'd suggest dropping that word. Also there are a few other semantics that could be mentioned. Theodore.norvell (talk) 14:40, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
"C# does not have monitors as a feature of the language". We-ell. C# has a "lock" mechanism which is directly analagous to Java's synchronized mechanism; it happens that it's implemented using the Framework's Monitor class internally (see http://research.microsoft.com/~birrell/papers/ThreadsCSharp.pdf ), but any hypothetical "free-standing" C# implementation (i.e. one not tied to Rotor, .NET FX, Mono, DotGNU, etc.) would have to have an equivalent mechanism. As such it seems to me that C# probably does have built-in monitors, at least to the same extent as Java does. DrPizza 18:07, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Monitor implemented using semaphores[edit]
I believe the implementation given here is incorrect. If a thread calls wait() after signal() has been called it may be stuck indefinitely, since signal() increments the semaphore only enough times for threads already waiting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:647:5100:4C2:34BB:EEAA:46DD:66AD (talk) 21:54, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
Condition variable[edit]
I think that 'Condition variables' can live without a monitor. If that is right, why Condition variable redirects here?
- You're mistaken. Condition variables were developed specifically for monitors, and I've never heard of anyone recommending their use outside that context. Gazpacho 04:30, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
- condition variables are used all over the place. even with java, for example, every object has a condition variable built in with the wait(), signal(), and signalAll() methods supported at the Object class. 188.8.131.52 00:25, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
- Condition variables were introduced for use with monitors, but they are definitely useful in and of themselves. By way of reference, none of the pthread condition variable man pages mention the word "monitor". The key behavior of condition variables, allowing a single thread to signal multiple waiting threads, is not monitor-specific. I don't know if that means a condition variable is worthy of its own article, but they are perfectly okay to use outside monitors. ScotS (talk) 23:42, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
- In pthreads, the mutex takes the role of the monitor. Condition variables are associated with some other lock: In pthreads it is a mutex, in monitors it is the monitor lock Theodore.norvell (talk) 14:40, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
I think the key thing that is missing here is the notion that a condition variable is (or ought to be) associated with some boolean expression. This is what makes programming with monitors effective. When I have time, I'd like to add that and also make the use of invariants clearer. Any objections? Theodore.norvell (talk) 14:40, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
Monitors and condition variables are different concepts. The PThread condition variables are not monitors, because it is for example possible to use multiple cvars with the same mutex lock. Also, in a monitor, every operation is mutually exclusive, which rules out typical cvar operations such as signal_all(). Condition variables make perfect sense without a monitor. A monitor is implemented using mutexes and condition variables, that is the relationship. I think it would be better to have an own article for conditation variables. --184.108.40.206 (talk) 11:37, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
Someone queried the difference between this article and Room_synchronization, can someone who knows more than I take a quick look at that page? 18.104.22.168 13:27, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
- Room synchronization is quite different from monitors. With monitors there is only one room and only one process may be in it at a time. With room synchronization, there are a number of rooms and all processes that are in any room must be in the same room, but there is no limit on how many processes can be in that room. You could use a monitor to implement room synchronization. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Theodore.norvell (talk • contribs) 20:30, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
Condition Variable example ?[edit]
I think the example is wrong: when doing wait(), the queueSize is increased, but never decreased. I think there should be a queueSize-- following the waiting.up(). -- Marc —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 11:17, 15 May 2007 (UTC). Marc, you must be right, decreasing it that way is safe as it's protected, and else you would always have signal>0 once this is true once, therefore i correct the algorithm... Cédric —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gonnet (talk • contribs) 01:35, August 27, 2007 (UTC)
- I have another question about the CV example code. Consider thread A running
wait(), after releasing
lockbut before pending on
waiting. Thread A is pre-empted by thread B which does
signal(), which runs to completion, leaving
waiting"up" and
lockunlocked, meaning a possible lucky thread C could
wait()and run straight through, bypassing the poor original thread A, even though C arrived at
signal()ran and should therefore have had to wait until the next call to
signal(). The fact that A didn't get signalled isn't the end of the world, since it will catch the signal intended for C the next time and A's
wait()hadn't returned anyway, so A didn't really expect to catch the first
signal()-- the possible problem is C getting to skip a
wait(). I may be missing something, perhaps specific to the monitor use case of CV's or to the assumed semantics of
waiting.up(), that makes this okay. Can you clarify what I'm missing? ScotS (talk) 23:55, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
Proposed rewrite[edit]
While I think the page is pretty good as it stands, I think it is missing a few things, in particular mention of Hoare's rules for using signal and wait. As a result I rewrote the article. The proposed rewrite is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Theodore.norvell/monitor . Please leave comments on it there. If there aren't too many negative comments that can't be easily responded to, I'll put it up here in a few weeks. Theodore.norvell (talk) 12:43, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
- There were no negative comments, so I've gone ahead with the rewrite. Theodore.norvell (talk) 21:17, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
- The rewrite is very good. TiagoCogumbreiro (talk) 16:28, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
According to Per Brinch Hansen, he didn't invent monitors[edit]
Not to cast flys into everyones drink, Per Brinch Hansen wrote in his books and notes that E. W. Dijkstra invented monitors. In turn, E. W. Dijkstra himself credits Per Brinch Hansen. You can of course simply ascribe this to the modesty of the authors, but take into account that these two men were good friends and close collaborators working on the same subject at the same time. I would say there is a good case for co-invention here, despite the common assertion that professor Hansen was the sole inventor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 20:03, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
- I've changed it to credit Hoare and Brinch Hansen equally. I also mention that they were basing the concept of earlier ideas of Dijkstra as well as themselves. In Hansen's "Monitors and concurrent Pascal: a personal history", I didn't find any direct credit to Dijkstra.
- If you read Dijkstra's "Hierarchical Ordering of Sequential Processes" you will find: "A secretary presents itself primarily as a bunch of non-reentrant routines with a common state space. But as far as the activity of the main program is concerned there is a difference between the routine of a secretary and a normal subroutine." It sounds a lot like a monitor. However, the way that a secretary puts processes to sleep or wakes them up it a bit different from the "wait" and "signal" of monitors. Theodore.norvell (talk) 21:32, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
It is not correct that Brinch Hansen credited Dijkstra for monitors. Brinch Hansen credited Dijkstra with being one of the original sources (along with Tony Hoare and himself) of the ideas that evolved into the monitor concept. It was Brinch Hansen and Hoare that actually developed the concept. I have updated the article to more accurate reflect the details of such. Jsg68x (talk) 21:18, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
Occupy a Monitor[edit]
I think we should be using the original usage of "inside" and "outside" of a monitor instead of using "occupy" and "unoccupying" monitors. TiagoCogumbreiro (talk) 16:28, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
- Here's the reason that I changed it from "inside"/"outside" to "occupying"/"unoccupying". To me the word "inside" suggests that a thread is executing code that is "inside" of an object (or module). That is, in OO terms, a thread is "inside" whatever object is currently "this", and in, nonOO terms, it is "inside" whatever module is associated with its program counter. Say a thread calls a monitor's public method but then, before it returns, it calls a method in another object. At this point the thread is inside the other object. Is it still "inside" the original monitor? Well maybe and maybe not. Conversely if a thread calls a monitor and then calls "wait" is it "inside" the monitor? Another reason I like "occupy" is that it then lets me talk about the module's "occupant". Theodore.norvell (talk) 10:03, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
Monitors as objects[edit]
Monitors are not necessarily objects. Although they are used in object-oriented programming languages like Java, a monitor is infact introduced by Hoare as a module. The reader does not need to know what an object in order to grasp the concept of a monitor. Understanding what a module is is easier than an object. TiagoCogumbreiro (talk) 16:28, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
- You are quite right. (By the way, I learned monitors while using Concurrent Euclid, which was a modular language.) My thinking was that very few people these days would be familiar with the term "module" as used in Concurrent Euclid and Modula 2. And those who are would probably be familar with OO concepts as well. It would probably be a good idea to add a mention that in nonOO languages, monitors can be modules. By the way, in Concurrent Pascal, monitors were "classes" and could have multiple instances. Theodore.norvell (talk) 10:03, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
assertion? Or predicate?[edit]
Since this major rewrite, this article uses the word assertion several times, e.g.
- "Threads attempting an operation may need to wait until some assertion P holds true."
At least when it comes to the usage of the word assertion as defined within Wikipedia, is it correct speak of assertions throughout this monitor article? An assertion is a predicate that a developer expects to always be true. I would have expected predicate within the monitor article wherever assertion is used (also see conditional (programming)). --Abdull (talk) 18:30, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
- I think this is a point worth considering. My first reaction was that Abdull is right, but that the word condition might be preferable to predicate. (Another possibility is boolean expression.) However, I looked back at the literature and found that the main sources agree on assertion. For example from [Hoare 74] we have "With each condition variable b the programmer may associate an assertion B which describes the condition under which a program waiting on b wishes to be resumed." Hoare also uses the term condition at one point. From [Burh et al. 1995] we have "When programming with monitors, it is common to associate with each condition variable an assertion about the state of the monitor". Admittedly, Burh et al. also use the term predicate. Lampson and Redell [1980] use predicate. Theodore.norvell (talk) 15:38, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
- I have to quibble with one thing that Abdull says. He says "an assertion is a predicate that a developer expects to always be true". I think what he meant is that an assertion is a predicate that a developer expects to be true at a specified place in the program. (As the wikipedia article Assertion (computing) currently says.) This fits with the current use of assertion in the monitor article, as the assertion associated with a condition variable is expected to be true after a wait and prior to a signal. The point is that the use of boolean expressions in monitors fits in the tradition of assertional reasoning that started with Hoare's 1969 An Axiomatic Basis for Programming paper. For me, preconditions, postconditions, and object invariants are all just varieties of assertions. Theodore.norvell (talk) 15:38, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
- After taking another look, I agree that the article did use the word assertion in places that where it was probably not appropriate. I've changed these occurrences to condition. Theodore.norvell (talk) 17:17, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Small change in "Waiting and signaling"[edit]
I added some other (crappy) solutions to the busy waiting problem, just to expand a bit on the issue and how monitors are a great solution. Should I expand my explanation or remove it?

I think you're correct; it probably was from copying and pasting and not proofreading enough. I'm glad people are checking. --Wykypydya (talk) 22:36, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
wording problem[edit]
> the next program counter to be executed
That makes no sense. The program counter cannot be executed. It points to code to be executed.
That sounds like an "edito" from thinking of saying "the program counter points to" and thinking of saying "the next program location to be executed" and mis-fusing the two. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2620:0:1000:1501:1260:4BFF:FE68:1974 (talk) 22:58, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

"Tutorial multiprocessing traps" <- this one directs you to one of the "MAKE XXXXX CASH IN 10 MINUTES!!!".

- Deleted. Theodore.norvell (talk) 00:03, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
New introduction[edit]
An edit in October 2013 substantially changed the introductory paragraphs. For example it added this sentence. "In essence, a monitor M = (m, c) is a pair of a mutex (lock) object m and a condition variable c." To me this doesn't look right. Since the start (i.e. Hoare's paper and Brinch Hansen's work) monitors have allowed an arbitrarily large set of condition variables. The restriction to one variable (as in Java) is one variation on the monitor concept. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 12:16, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for pointing that out! I changed it. If you think anything else was better before the October 2013 edit feel free to restore it. InverseHypercube (talk) 02:57, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
New sections[edit]
Several new subsections have been added to section 2, Condition variables. These are currently "2.2. Case study: classic bounded producer/consumer problem", "2.3 Condition variables", "2.4 Monitor usage", "2.5 synchronization primitives", and "2.6 Semaphore". There are some good ideas here, but I think that they mostly serve to make an already long and complex article longer and more complex. They also move the article more toward's a "how to", as noted by the warning "This article contains instructions, advice, or how-to content. The purpose of Wikipedia is to present facts, not to train. " that now sits in front of the article. My suggestion is to revert the article back to its earlier structure, while keeping only what is most useful from the added material. Maybe the new material can be moved elsewhere: e.g. wikibooks Theodore.norvell (talk) 13:21, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Well, it's halfway through 2016, and not much has changed since the beginning of the year. Despite the terrorism acts in Orlando, FL and Turkey, and the Brexit referendum, little has happened to affect the travel industry. Overall, things might have slowed a bit, but a majority of the fundamentals are holding steady, including occupancy, ADR and RevPAR. I've been asked why this cycle has lasted longer than those preceding it. As far as I am concerned, it's due to a single phrase: Never Again.

This was my first Kimpton Hotel but I will certainly try others and I will definitely return to the Topaz. Room was fairly large and included an alcove with a desk that kept my computer and business out of the way. The bed and pillows were good. The room was quiet. The bathroom was a little tight but that was about the only thing that "dated" the room at all. Located on "embassy row" the neighborhood was nice; close to the Metro and duPont Circle. The "restaurant" was also the bar but the food was good and the staff attentive. In the evening there was free wine - no tickets, no limits - your glass never got empty unless you wanted to stop. Great little pub next door. Parking was a personal best - $41 a night for valet and there was no self parking. The staff was superb. Friendly and efficient. Learned your name quickly and recognized you coming in and out. The only problem was that it has a few steps up to the level with the elevator and the entrance to the bar. There was a lift for wheelchairs but if you had a little trouble with steps and didn't want the hoopla of the lift, it caused some effort. I would come again without question.

The Honda Crosstour has been something of an automotive whatcha-ma-call-it. Buyers have found it hard to identify what the high-riding wagon is all about, and so have we. Honda even started out by calling it the Accord Crosstour, and then changed its name to help give it more of its own identity. But with other popular crossovers already in Honda's stables, trying to carve out a niche for the Crosstour has been no easy task.

228Honda butching up Crosstour for 2013 because 'people weren't exactly sure what it was'
- Chris Paukert
- Sep 20, 2012
- 228
When the Honda Accord Crosstour launched back in 2009 as a 2010 model, we didn't quite know what to make of it. We weren't exactly taken with its styling and we didn't get its value equation, either. It drove well enough, but fell behind the segment's fierce competition in terms of space, amenities, visibility and pricing. The market seemed to agree, and the model never got near Honda's (traditionally conservative) sales projections of 40,000 units per year.

You almost have to feel sorry for Patricia Smith, the former controller at Baierl Acura who embezzled over $10 million from the suburban Pittsburgh dealership. Despite having stolen roughly $4,000 a day, seven days a week, for seven years, Smith's personal automotive aspirations extended no further than a new Honda Crosstour. Apparently being a criminal mastermind does not ensure good taste.

Honda has announced it will debut a concept version of the 2013 Crosstour at the New York Auto Show next month. Details are scarce at the moment, but we wouldn't be surprised if the vehicle turns out to be a thinly veiled look at the next version of the funky crossover. Honda has a long and storied history of rolling out concepts with more than a passing resemblance to its production models. Given that the Crosstour has only been on the market for a couple of years, we aren't anticipating an all

Back when Honda launched the Crosstour in 2010, it fielded questions from the media asking why it chose to forego a four-cylinder model. At the time, officials indicated that a four-cylinder engine would result in minimal fuel economy improvements, noting that the company's aim was to target premium-minded customers for whom the 3.5-liter V6 seemed more appropriate.

The figures have been tallied for the best-selling vehicle in the U.S. in 2011, and not surprisingly, the Ford F-Series pickup truck is king of the heap once again. Dealers sold a total of 584,917 F-Series units in 2011, beating out the second-place Chevrolet Silverado by 169,787 units. The Toyota Camry filled out the podium with 308,510 sales, which left the top three unaltered from their 2010 rankings. Fourth place went to the surging Nissan Altima, which jumped from its seventh place position

Ever since the launch of the, uh, polarizing Honda Crosstour, the rumormill has been buzzing with word that Honda might someday add a four-cylinder engine to the lineup. Makes sense, since the Accord on which it's based offers a four-pot, and the CUV's key competitor, the Toyota Venza, also offers a more efficient four-cylinder powertrain.

Ah, the Honda Crosstour. The oddly shaped, curiously impractical crossover carries on for another model year, albeit with a slightly shortened name. That's right, for 2012, Honda has dropped the 'Accord' name from the Crosstour, meaning it will now have to stand alone in the automaker's lineup (and on the company's sales charts, natch).

Let's meet for an hour or two after work in Hillsborough to practice night photography by taking pix of the moon. I am going to limit this meetup to 10 people in order for me to be able to help anyone that wants one on one help with their camera settings or a general use primer for this type of photography.
Let's meet outside at the Weaver St. Market in Downtown Hillsborough and then head to the top of the nearby parking deck to get setup to shoot the moon. After shooting, we head back to the warmth WSM to discuss the evening's shoot and grab a warm drink or some food. I will be happy to answer any questions that may have gone unanswered during the shoot.
It will be a good idea to bring along a camera that has a zoom lens. It doesn't matter if it's a point and shoot or a DSLR. Tripods are preferred, but not necessary. Lesson One of Photography: Make do with what you have. :-) I'll have a couple of spare tripods with me that can be shared.
We will meet rain or shine at Weaver Street Market. Even if it's it's cloudy and the moon doesn't come out, I can let folks know general settings and some basic night photography and low lighting photography tips that everyone should be able to use during the holiday season.
Email me direct should you need more info. I will post my cell phone number to all of those folks that sign up.
Hey guys and gals: Here's a great link to use a primer for getting a great moon shot. http://digital-photography-school.com/forum/tutorials/118100-how-shoot-moon-hi-def.html#post988089

Oh no - I read it too quickly thinking it was Hillsborough St. I can't make it either! Gaaa! I so want to figure this out too. I take far better moon shots with my old Canon Powershot S3 than I can with the EOS 7D and it drives me crazy! Please, please, please have another soon! :)

This is an extraordinary film about the creation of the American corporation, its legal organizational model, its global economic dominance and its psychopathic tendencies, and its incredible ambition to influence every aspect of culture in its unrelenting pursuit of profit.
After viewing this film, it becomes all too evident that these large corporations have too much power, whose mandate is not the common good of the people, and who will go to any lengths, legally and otherwise, in the pursuit of profit and the bottom line. Reviewer: C. Middleton (Australia)
