Chief Inspector Gareth Lee
I am heading up the Crewe Local Policing Unit which encompasses the towns and villages of Crewe, Nantwich, Middlewich, Alsager, Sandbach and the surrounding areas of South East Cheshire.
I have fourteen years' police service, most recently as Detective Inspector in the northern part of the county and prior to that I was the Neighbourhood Inspector in Runcorn. I look forward to working with an established and experienced team, which has grown in strength and capacity with the implementation of the new policing model.
Our policing area is very diverse, with miles of countryside coupled with the demands of busy industrial towns, and the area is home to a diverse range of communities and citizens from different ethnic backgrounds. I will support and encourage our team in doing all we can and using all means at our disposal to deliver professional and effective neighbourhood policing in the Crewe and Nantwich area.

YouTube Is Launching A Lady Channel With Stars Like Jennifer Garner
The channel, called Wigs, will feature a number of original web series, all of them telling stories about women. They'll be produced and directed by top Hollywood directors and feature actresses like Jennifer Garner, Julia Stiles, America Ferrera, and Dakota Fanning.
1. Here's a little preview:
YouTube, in its efforts to become a destination for original, high-quality video content, has enlisted John Avnet, the director well-known for movies like "Black Swan" and "Risky Business," and Rodrigo Garcia, who made "In Treatment," to head up Wigs and produce a series of scripted dramas. They've also enlisted a pretty impressive A-list Hollywood cast to star in the shows.
Each miniseries is titled with a woman's name. "Serena," for example, stars Jennifer Garner, a woman in love with her priest, played by Alfred Molina. Julia Stiles stars as a single mother in "Blue." And so on. The laundry list of leading ladies (and gents) goes on.
I got a longer sneak peek at some of the shows last week with some reps for Wigs and can attest – they're good. They feel like something you'd see on Showtime, not on YouTube.
The individual episodes will be around five to eight minutes, and will be posted to the Wigs YouTube page starting May 14.

Setting siteurl in wp_options to '' (the empty string) results in problems loading the blog/admin which is expected.
The error message however is rather misleading
The given errors are:
"Error establishing a database connection"
"One or more database tables are unavailable. The database may need to be repaired."
Going through the repair/optimize process is successful and yields no error, which left me quite confused but I figured out the problem after further interrogating of the computer-illiterate who was fiddling with the settings =)
Would suggest a more descriptive error for this case instead of assuming an error with the database setup.

MLB Team Report - Detroit Tigers - INSIDE PITCH
The Detroit Tigers entered spring training set and solid, but will begin the chase for their fourth straight American League Central crown shaken and possibly sabotaged by injuries.
There was still plenty of good news -- right-hander Justin Verlander's 20 scoreless spring innings plus the announcement first baseman Miguel Cabrera agreed to an eight-year contract extension -- but the grim news on the medical front might make it a lot more difficult for Detroit to win a fourth straight division title.
The Tigers lost left fielder Andy Dirks for 12 weeks early in the spring when he had to undergo surgery to repair a disc problem in his back. He will be replaced by rookie Tyler Collins, described as a version of Dirks when drafted by the Tigers in the sixth round of the 2011 draft, but whose first Major League at-bat will be his first above the Double-A level.
Then came the devastating loss of skilled defensive shortstop Jose Iglesias, for at least 4-6 months and possibly the season, when it was learned he has stress fractures in both shins. The Tigers tentatively plan to replace him with a platoon of two recently acquired shortstops, veteran Alex Gonzalez and Andrew Romine. Many are skeptical this arrangement will last.
The day after learning of Iglesias' plight, Detroit found out anticipated setup man Bruce Rondon will need Tommy John surgery and be out for the season. The Tigers may take a grab bag approach to the eighth inning, but insiders expect young right-hander Corey Knebel, supplemental first-round pick out of Texas last June, to have some kind of impact on the bullpen -- and soon.
An already questionable bullpen, with aging Joe Nathan at the back end, is further weakened entering the season and threatens to undermine a rotation that ranks among the strongest in baseball with Verlander, Max Scherzer, Anibal Sanchez, Rick Porcello and Drew Smyly taking their turns.
Scherzer turned down a contract extension offer by Detroit that clearly fell short of what the Cy Young Award winner wanted. Negotiations are thus off until season's end, when Scherzer will be days shy of becoming a free agent.
The Tigers do not have a championship bullpen at this point, at least not until they ascertain who their seventh- and eighth-inning guys are. And Joe Nathan, at 39, granted a two-year contract by Detroit, is no certainty at the back end. One point in his favor as his fastball diminished, his slider has gotten better.
Bullpen adjustments are all but guaranteed as the season moves along.
Gonzalez, 37, was added at the last moment but has not played shortstop full time since 2011.
Romine is a journeyman added to give Detroit a left-handed bat at the position. The history books are not full of teams winning the World Series with such an arrangement at short.
Rookie Nick Castellanos was handed the third base spot when Detroit traded first baseman Prince Fielder to Texas during the winter, which allowed the club to shift Cabrera back to first. Castellanos is not seen as a Gold Glove at third, but his bat may wind up as silver at some point. The Tigers would be grateful if he hits .275 and 15 or so home runs with 75 RBIs.
Ian Kinsler, acquired in the deal for Fielder, should turn in a respectable season while Cabrera, who might have challenged for a second straight Triple Crown had he not been hobbled the last two months of last season by a sports hernia, had a solid spring and appears poised for a run at a fourth straight AL batting title. His home runs total could diminish without Fielder hitting behind him, although Victor Martinez would benefit from Cabrera being walked more.
No one expects Scherzer to go 21-3 again, but Verlander looks ready to rebound strongly from his 13-12 record of a year ago and possibly be closer to his 24-5 2011 MVP/Cy Young Award season.
Detroit dealt right-hander Doug Fister away but replaced him with lefty Drew Smyly, who debuted as a starter two years ago before moving to the bullpen for last year.
First-year manager Brad Ausmus replaced grizzled Jim Leyland as Detroit's manager, but sage Gene Lamont was retained as the bench coach so the newcomer won't miss anything.
The changes between seasons should make Detroit at least marginally better defensively and significantly better in terms of team speed. One of the story lines to follow all season will be whether that speed will offset the loss of Fielder's 30-plus home run potential with no corresponding replacement.
One key plus for the Tigers: the club has never been shy about making moves in July and August.
Detroit will be tough to beat out in the AL Central but the run of injuries will probably make it more difficult for it to beat back the competition.
MLB Team Report - Detroit Tigers - NOTES, QUOTES
--3B Miguel Cabrera agreed to an eight-year contract extension March 27 that makes him the highest paid player in the history of baseball. Cabrera, who turns 31 next month, has two more seasons at $22 million left on his current pact, then a run of $31 million seasons that extend through 2023. Critics rail at the length of the dea,l but it would be nearly impossible for the Tigers to replace a player who has won three straight batting titles and two MVP crowns for them had he left after the 2015 season. Cabrera appeared fully recovered this spring from sports hernia surgery at the conclusion of last season. He is five hits shy of 2,000 for his career with 365 career home runs and 1,260 RBIs. "I spent a lot of time with my family in the offseason thinking about how bad I wanted to stay in Detroit," Cabrera said. "If there was any chance we could work out this deal to agree with the front office with the Tigers to make this happen, I was hoping to do it. I was never thinking about going to free agency. I want to be here. I want to stay here. I want to be a Tiger." The deal reportedly has two additional option years at $30 million that vest if Cabrera finishes in the top 10 in MVP voting the previous season.
--RHP Justin Verlander concluded the spring perfectly -- leaving Florida with a run of 20 scoreless innings. Already named Detroit's Opening Day starter for the seventh straight year, Verlander closed the spring with a 6 1/3 inning outing in which he allowed just one hit, struck out seven and walked one. "I'm definitely encouraged," said Verlander, coming off January sports hernia surgery on both groin muscles. "There hasn't been a lot of solid contact, so I know that what I've been working on has been beneficial to me."
--LF Tyler Collins, who played at Double-A Erie last season, appears to be Detroit's choice to platoon in left field with LF Rajai Davis while LF Andy Dirks recovers from spring back surgery. Collins became pull conscious last season and it sent his strikeout total up and his batting average down, but he appears to have tamed some of the wildness in his swing this spring. "Not doing too much, that's exactly what I've been doing," Collins said of a spring in which he's hit .250 but with some extra-base hit production. "Quit fighting myself. But I feel like I've found a way to consistently do it. Just stay easy, free and smooth. It's like Wally (hitting coach Joyner) said to me today: 'Dude, if you do anything this year, don't stop relaxing and being easy with that swing.' " Davis will play against more right-handed pitchers than he would have had Dirks been available, but Collins will get a lot of playing time unless he shows he's clearly overmatched.
--RHP Max Scherzer turned down an offer of a contract extension from the Tigers and will play through the season before either negotiating a new deal with Detroit or becoming a free agent. The Tigers reportedly offered $144 million for a six-year deal, but the pitcher is looking longer-term. Scherzer met with Dave Dombrowski after the Detroit GM revealed March 23 talks had broken off. "He expressed regret over how things had been portrayed in the media," Scherzer said. "He said he needed to let fans know they (the Tigers) were doing their job. He regretted any negative light it might have placed on me. He also said he didn't give out any numbers and that he was upset over numbers that had been released." Scherzer had a career year in 2013, going 21-3 and winning the AL Cy Young Award.
--RHP Evan Reed, a high-velocity thrower who improved his off-speed stuff this spring, apparently made Detroit's 25-man roster. Reed was still there after the Tigers made their final cuts but a late deal to remake the club's bullpen was also possible. Reed, who is out of options, allowed two earned runs in 11 1/3 innings over nine spring games entering the final weekend of play before the regular season. He performed well in several stints with the Tigers last year. He likely will be used in long relief early but could graduate to late-inning situations given the unsettled nature of the back end of Detroit's bullpen.
--RHP Luke Putkonen, who has been up and down with Detroit the last couple seasons, appeared set to open the season with the Tigers this year after a strong spring left him one of the last 25 players following the final spring cuts. Putkonen added a split-finger fastball to his list of pitches last year and it has become a great offset to a good fastball. He gave up just two runs in 11 1/3 spring innings entering the final weekend before the regular season, striking out 10 without issuing a walk.
--LHP Phil Coke, who endured a shocking trip to the minors last August during a nightmarish 2013 season, shored up his position with two strong final weeks of spring training. In Coke's seven outings entering the final spring game, he allowed four hits in 7 1/3 innings with nine strikeouts and two walks. "The thing that stood out about Coke is his breaking ball was a lot shorter and crisper," manager Brad Ausmus said. "It was more slider-ish than slurve-ish." He's been showing a tighter breaking ball than the sweeping curve he had trouble getting over the plate last year. His contract was not guaranteed and Detroit could have cut him and paid just $475,000 of his now-guaranteed $1.9 million deal.
--SS Alex Gonzalez, a late spring add to Detroit's roster made in an effort to cover for injured SS Jose Iglesias, will enter the season as the Tigers regular despite having played just 14 games at the position over the previous two years. Gonzalez, 37, played short this spring with Baltimore and was hitting well when Detroit obtained him March 24 for UTL Steve Lombardozzi. New Tigers' first base coach Omar Vizquel watched Gonzalez play winter ball and recommended him. "He still looks like a shortstop and has the actions of a shortstop," manager Brad Ausmus said after viewing the newcomer in some Detroit spring games. "I think he'll be fine." "For me, it's great to be back at my position," Gonzalez said. "I can still get (ground) balls. Not the same range, but I can still make plays. I've got experience. I know the hitters."
QUOTE TO NOTE: "Anytime you give long-term contracts, you're concerned. That's the way it is, because anything can happen in the game. Sure, you feel a little uncomfortable, but if you're ever going to take a chance -- and there is (a risk) -- but to get a deal done you need to take that chance, I would take the chance on him." -- Detroit GM Dave Dombrowski on the signing of 3B Miguel Cabrera to an eight-year extension worth $31 million annually.
MLB Team Report - Detroit Tigers - ROSTER REPORT
The strength of Detroit remains its starting pitching, but a bullpen filled with question marks threatens to sabotage it. Three critical spring injuries (LF Andy Dirks, SS Jose Iglesias, RHP Bruce Rondon) are almost certain to lead to in-season changes.
1. RHP Justin Verlander
2. RHP Max Scherzer
3. RHP Anibal Sanchez
4. RHP Rick Porcello
5. LHP Drew Smyly
Verlander finished with 20 scoreless spring innings, emphatically answering questions whether there would be lingering effects from his January sports hernia surgery. He was picked to open the season for Detroit for the seventh straight year.
Scherzer had a solid spring, too, and will enter the season in limbo as far as his future with Detroit beyond 2014 is concerned. The two sides could not agree on a contract extension so will table talks until the end of the season. Both sides feel this will have no effect on the reigning Cy Young Award winner's performance.
Sanchez had a spot of shoulder fatigue, which sidelined him more than a month last year, but feels he is ready to begin the season with no problem. Detroit is hoping for an injury-free beginning to the season because he will need time to develop a viable sub from the minors.
Porcello had a rocky spring but was focused on refining his curve and getting his arm in shape. Smyly looks good as the fifth starter (he won't start until Detroit needs one later in April) after spending a year in the bullpen.
RHP Joe Nathan (closer)
RHP Al Alburquerque
RHP Joba Chamberlain
LHP Ian Krol
LHP Phil Coke
RHP Luke Putkonen
RHP Evan Reed
Loss of prospective setup man RHP Bruce Rondon (Tommy John surgery) severely hurt an already thin bullpen.
Chamberlain did not have a good spring, although he was better than in recent seasons, but Coke had a smart bounce-back after a rocky early spring.
Putkonen and Reed had solid springs and could move rapidly into late-inning roles as new manager Brad Ausmus sorts out his bullpen.
Help could be available from the minors after good spring showings by LHP Blaine Hardy and hotshot rookie RHP Corey Knebel, who a year ago was pitching for the University of Texas.
1. 2B Ian Kinsler
2. RF Torii Hunter
3. 1B Miguel Cabrera
4. DH Victor Martinez
5. CF Austin Jackson
6. C Alex Avila
7. 3B Nick Castellanos
8. LF Rajai Davis/LF Tyler Collins
9. SS Alex Gonzalez/SS Andrew Romine
New manager Brad Ausmus spent the exhibition season experimenting with batting orders and was not tipping his hand as Detroit broke camp. He seems to have settled on Kinsler, who led off for Texas, as his first hitter as Jackson hit well in the fifth and sixth slots this spring.
The loss of SS Jose Iglesias, probably for the season, with stress fractures in both legs led Detroit to scramble for two journeymen to replace him: Gonzalez, who has played only sparingly at short the last two years, and Romine. Further change at the position would not be unexpected.
Losing LF Andy Dirks (back surgery) for 12 weeks and the trade of UTL Steve Lombardozzi to Baltimore for Gonzalez opened up a roster spot for the rookie Collins, who spent last season in Double-A but is seen by the Tigers as comparable to Dirks.
Castellanos looked good at the plate this spring but shows rustiness in his return to third.
INF Andrew Romine
C Bryan Holaday
LF Tyler Collins
UT Don Kelly
Romine will see most of his action at short in a mini-platoon with SS Alex Gonzalez and is likely to see late-inning action as a defensive replacement for 3B Nick Castellanos.
Collins bats left-handed, so if he hits he could wind up seeing more action in left than Davis, who will start against all lefties and some right-handers.
Holaday will spell C Alex Avila against some tough lefties while Kelly will again play a variety of positions, mostly in the outfield.
--LF Andy Dirks (lower back surgery in March 2014) went on the 15-day disabled list March 29. He is expected to be out until late June or early July. Dirks said he has had problems with his lower back since high school, but it locked up on him early in spring training.
--SS Jose Iglesias (stress fractures in both shins) went on the 60-day disabled list March 29. He is expected to be out until at least late July.
--RHP Bruce Rondon (sore right elbow) went on the 60-day disabled list March 29. He was scheduled to undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery.

Ireland May Restructure Debt as Economy Contracts, E&Y Says
Ireland may try to restructure its debt to lower interest payments or extend the maturity on its borrowings as the economy contracts again this year, according to Ernst & Young.
The government probably will repay its debt and investors aren't likely to lose any of their principal, a move that would imply a default, said Neil Gibson, a Belfast-based economist with the financial-services and advisory firm.
"Ireland is not Greece or Portugal," he said today by telephone. "Ireland has a genuine prospect of being able to pay off its debts because it has such a strong international business base."
Ireland's economy is struggling to expand as consumer spend less amid government cutbacks and higher prices. The economy will probably return to annual growth next year as consumers repair their personal finances and exports gain, Gibson said.
"It is much more likely that the debts will be repaid in full, but at probably a more modest interest rate or over a longer time frame," Gibson said, adding that he expects the economy to contract 2.3 percent this year as "the headwinds are too significant."
Economic Growth
Ireland Central Bank Governor Patrick Honohan said yesterday that while growth is "very modest at best" this year, the economy will improve in 2012. "Nothing will work" unless the economy, which has contracted about 15 percent since the end of 2007, returns to growth, Honohan said.
Ernst & Young expects private consumption in Ireland to decline 4.1 percent this year and 3.3 percent in 2012 as the government pushes through austerity measures to bring the budget deficit to 3 percent of gross domestic product by 2015. GDP will probably expand 1.1 percent in 2012 and 2.2 percent the following year, according to Ernst & Young.
European Union leaders will decide on additional aid for Greece by the end of June and have ruled out a "total restructuring" of the nation's debt, Jean-Claude Juncker, head of the group of euro-area finance ministers, said yesterday.
Ireland needn't "worry as urgently" as countries such as Greece because it won't have to borrow in 2011 thanks to its 85 billion-euro ($122 billion) agreement last year, Gibson said. Ireland may avoid seeking additional bailout funds from the EU when the current financing run out at the end of 2013, he said.
'Very Strong'
"The international markets must believe the same thing we do, which is fundamentally Ireland's economic prospects are very strong," Gibson said. "One would hope by 2012, early 2013, the markets would have come around to that view."
Finance Minister Michael Noonan said yesterday that there's "no question" of Ireland needing a second bailout package in 2012. He was responding to comments by Transport Minister Leo Varadkar that Ireland was "very unlikely" to re-enter bond markets next year, as set out in the bailout plan.
"If Greece went for re-profiling and it was well received and bedded-down, that might set a precedent and Ireland could follow quite swiftly," according to Gibson. "Ireland will be having those conversations, if not officially, then unofficially already."
Bank of Ireland Plc, Ireland's largest bank, said today it will seek to impose losses of as much as 90 percent on 2.6 billion euros of subordinated debt as it offers bondholders an exchange for cash or equity. Noonan said the government will take "whatever steps" are necessary to achieve "appropriate burden-sharing" with junior bondholders, as the state seeks to claw back investments in its debt-laden lenders.

Five Guys Burgers moves closer to O.C.
[caption id="attachment_1691" align="alignright" width="142" caption="Five Guys in Carson"][/caption]
Five Guys Burgers & Fries, whose reputation in the East Coast rivals that of In-N-Out Burger in California, moves closer to O.C.
The burger chain recently opened its second California� location in Cerritos. The launch comes six months after it opened its first West Coast eatery in Carson, roughly 13 miles from Cerritos. The second Five Guys is at 11461 South Street at the Cerritos Promenade mall -- much closer to O.C. border and the city of La Palma.� (see map below)
Franchisee Phil Ratner, who lives in Laguna Niguel, said the store -- open only a week -- is beating expectations.
"We're busier at nights and weekends" compared to the Carson store, he said Tuesday, as he headed to work. "We're off to a very fast start."

The Cerritos location will be closed Thursday for Thanksgiving, but will re-open for mall shoppers Friday, said Ratner, a former Chief executive at Marie Callender's.
Crowds should "should be enormous" on Black Friday, said Ratner, pointing out that his burger joint is near a Target.
Ratner owns the rights to expand Five Guys in parts of Orange and Los Angeles counties. Unfortunately, negotiations to open a third Five Guys in La Habra went sour, he said.
"We're closer to another Los Angeles location," he said. "I really wanted to be in La Habra, but that didn't work out. We're scouting around (in O.C.). We'll find something."
Five Guys background: For those of you new to Five Guys, here's what I've stated previously about the burger chain:
"Every meal is made from fresh, not frozen, products. So there's no freezer in the kitchen. All burgers are hand-pressed into 3¼-ounce patties made from 100 percent ground beef. The fries, perhaps the best I've ever eaten, are cut from potatoes and blanched on site. By doing this, the fries — which are fried in peanut oil — come out crispier."

Pak E. Derm
Pak Elephant Derm is an elephant-like creature that first appears in Yoshi's Story. Their shortened name, Pak E. Derm, is a pun on the word pachyderm, a term which is no longer in use; it refers to an obsolete taxonomic order of animals in biology that included elephants, whence Pak E. Derms' appearance was inspired.
Yoshi series[edit]
Yoshi's Story[edit]
In Yoshi's Story, this little elephant holds up his stop sign and won't let Yoshi pass. To pass, Yoshi has to Ground Pound the ground, and the Pak E. Derm would fall away, letting Yoshi pass. Yoshi had to act quickly, because the Pak E. Derm would get up soon. Yoshi encounters Pak E. Derm three times throughout the first level. After that, he's absent in all the other levels. Pak E. Derm's Message Block stated the poem that is thought of synonymously with the character: "Pak E. Derm will not let you by, unless you give something special a try."
Super Smash Bros. series[edit]
Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]
Pak E. Derm also appears in Super Smash Bros. Melee as a trophy and in the background of the Yoshi's Story stage. According to the trophy, there is only one; also according to the trophy, he has been practicing the skill of holding the sign for years.

Politics Lieberman's Last Day as a Democrat?
As Dan noted below, tomorrow is the Connecticut primary, which is being billed as a watershed moment for the Democratic Party (and, more so, for the liberal blogosphere).
The primary has been the talk of the netroots for months. When I was in Las Vegas back in June writing about the Yearly Kos blogger convention, Markos Moulitsas, probably the most widely read liberal blogger in the country, essentially bet his prestige on a netroots victory over Lieberman, telling the crowd in no uncertain terms: "Liberman is going to lose."
I saw Markos's bet as a play for clout as much as an act of political retribution against pro-war Lieberman, and I wrote that Moulitsas and the liberal blogosphere were due for a huge clout-perception-payoff if the prediction of a Lieberman loss proved true.
It looks like it's going to prove true tomorrow. Polls are showing Lieberman is likely to lose the primary to anti-war and netroots-backed Ned Lamont, a scenario that would force Lieberman to either abandon his long career in the Senate or run in the general election as an Indepentent. And Dan Balz of the Washington Post is now previewing the potential clout payoff for the netroots this way:
A victory by businessman Ned Lamont on Tuesday would confirm the growing strength of the grass-roots and Internet activists who first emerged in Howard Dean's presidential campaign. Driven by intense anger at President Bush and fierce opposition to the Iraq war, they are on the brink of claiming their most significant political triumph, one that will reverberate far beyond the borders here if Lieberman loses.
One more day until we find out what actually happens. In the meantime, for Lamont vs. Lieberman addicts, some links:
Washington Post on Lieberman's big speech.
Hartford Courant, via The Note, on possibilities for the morning after.
The Note itself on why the case against Leibarman is sui generis (and therefore maybe not the "watershed" people think it is).
Chicago Tribune on voters abandoning Lieberman.
Kagan on why Lieberman is the "last honest man."
Salon on why "it is hard to overstate what a profound and monumental upset it will be if Ned Lamont defeats Joe Lieberman."

The title pretty much sums it.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
From Understanding Weak References, by Ethan Nicholas:
And Peter Kessler added in a comment:
Weak references are collected eagerly. If GC finds that an object is weakly reachable (reachable only through weak references), it'll clear the weak references to that object immediately. As such, they're good for keeping a reference to an object for which your program also keeps (strongly referenced) "associated information" somewere, like cached reflection information about a class, or a wrapper for an object, etc. Anything that makes no sense to keep after the object it is associated with is GC-ed. When the weak reference gets cleared, it gets enqueued in a reference queue that your code polls somewhere, and it discards the associated objects as well. That is, you keep extra information about an object, but that information is not needed once the object it refers to goes away. Actually, in certain situations you can even subclass WeakReference and keep the associated extra information about the object in the fields of the WeakReference subclass. Another typical use of WeakReference is in conjunction with Maps for keeping canonical instances.
SoftReferences on the other hand are good for caching external, recreatable resources as the GC typically delays clearing them. It is guaranteed though that all SoftReferences will get cleared before OutOfMemoryError is thrown, so they theoretically can't cause an OOME[*].
Typical use case example is keeping a parsed form of a contents from a file. You'd implement a system where you'd load a file, parse it, and keep a SoftReference to the root object of the parsed representation. Next time you need the file, you'll try to retrieve it through the SoftReference. If you can retrieve it, you spared yourself another load/parse, and if the GC cleared it in the meantime, you reload it. That way, you utilize free memory for performance optimization, but don't risk an OOME.
Now for the [*]. Keeping a SoftReference can't cause an OOME in itself. If on the other hand you mistakenly use SoftReference for a task a WeakReference is meant to be used (namely, you keep information associated with an Object somehow strongly referenced, and discard it when the Reference object gets cleared), you can run into OOME as your code that polls the ReferenceQueue and discards the associated objects might happen to not run in a timely fashion.
So, the decision depends on usage - if you're caching information that is expensive to construct, but nonetheless reconstructible from other data, use soft references - if you're keeping a reference to a canonical instance of some data, or you want to have a reference to an object without "owning" it (thus preventing it from being GC'd), use a weak reference.
Weak Reference http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/ref/WeakReference.html
Let's look at the below example: We have an
Now, during the execution of the program we have made
Let me show the above example same with WeakHashMap
Output: Took
Soft References.
The garbage collector does not aggressively collect softly reachable objects the way it does with weakly reachable ones -- instead it only collects softly reachable objects if it really "needs" the memory. Soft references are a way of saying to the garbage collector, "As long as memory isn't too tight, I'd like to keep this object around. But if memory gets really tight, go ahead and collect it and I'll deal with that." The garbage collector is required to clear all soft references before it can throw
The only real difference between a soft reference and a weak reference is that the garbage collector
In Java; order from strongest to weakest, there are: strong, soft, weak, phantom
A strong reference is a normal reference that protects the referred object from collection by a garbage collector.
A Soft reference is a reference whose object is eligible for collection by a garbage collector until memory is available.
A weak reference is a reference that does not protect the referenced object from collection by a garbage collector.
Phantom References : An object is phantomly referenced after it has been finalized, but before its allocated memory has been reclaimed.
If my analogy is wrong anywhere please update.
The four types of object reachability in Java - Weak, Soft, Strong, and Phantom matter to us as developers with regard to Garbage Collection.
Weakly reachable object - GC is free to collect this kind of objects anytime regardless of their reachability from the program
Softly reachable object - Same as weakly reachable but GC may try to retain this object in memory if there is no memory contention**** (i.e. enough memory to hold these objects)
Strongly reachable object - GC can collect this kind of objects only if they are no more reachable from the program (i.e. via local variables, class variable, instance variables etc.)
Phantomly reachable object - GC can collect this kind of objects only if they are explicitly cleared by the program. This kind of objects are generally used for caching mechanisms
For more details: https://www.artima.com/insidejvm/ed2/gc16.html « collapse
One should be aware that a weakly referenced object will only get collected when it has ONLY weak reference(s). If it has so much as one strong reference, it does not get collected no matter how many weak references it has.

The engineer of the Chicago Commission on Ventilation, W. J. Mauer,1 has remarked that the ventilating engineer stands in ill repute today in the eyes of many, not because of lack of knowledge or skill on his part, but because of lack of uniformity of opinion and the need of standards of good air conditions and installation methods. Ventilation is a definite problem which cannot be solved by the haphazard method of opening a window here and there. When one stops to remember that mankind is more immediately dependent on air than on either food or water, it seems surprising indeed that so little serious attention and scientific study have been devoted to the air we breathe, in comparison with diet and drinking supplies.
Motion, coolness, a certain degree of humidity, freshness—each of these factors has at some time been emphasized in relation to proper ventilation. The fear of

Triple-Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 12 mins
This is a decadent cookie for the holidays. I don't find the drizzle necessary as they are really beautiful without it. This is from Bon Appétit Magazine (December 2004) and is featured as part of their Christmas Cookies special. The ranges for chocolate chips and cranberries just depend on how loaded you want your cookie. (The original recipe calls for the max. amount but I find that a bit much.) You can add some orange zest to the batter for a little extra seasonal flavour.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 1⁄2 cup packed golden brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1⁄4-1⁄2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1⁄4-1⁄2 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1⁄4-1⁄2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1⁄4-1⁄2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cranberries (can also use dried cherries) or 1⁄4-1⁄2 cup frozen cranberries (can also use dried cherries) or 1⁄4-1⁄2 cup dried cranberries (can also use dried cherries)
- 2 ounces milk chocolate (for drizzling) or 2 ounces white chocolate, chopped (for drizzling)
- Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in medium bowl to blend. Using electric mixer, beat butter and both sugars in large bowl until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla. Add flour mixture and oats and stir until blended. Stir in all chocolate chips and cranberries.
- Drop batter by rounded tablespoonfuls onto prepared sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake cookies, 1 sheet at a time, until edges are light brown, about 12-16 minutes (depending on how soft or crispy you want them). Cool on sheets 5 minutes. Transfer to rack; cool completely.
- (If drizzling: Stir chopped milk chocolate in top of double boiler until melted and smooth. Using small spoon, drizzle melted chocolate over cookies in zigzag pattern. Let stand until milk chocolate sets, about 1 hour. ).
Most Helpful
These are fantastic! I didn't do the drizzle, but that would be pretty. I will share this recipe! Thanks!
probably the best cookies I ever made!! thanks!
These are a really good cookie, kinda of crisp/chewy, a nice presentation with the cranberries and the white chocolate drizzle. I didn't want to use a spoon to drizzle the chocolate, a baggie tends to blow out if the chocolate is too warm, so I dug out the turkey injector (minus the needle), filled it with the white chocolate & drizzled the cookies in no time at all. No mess or waste because of the rubber plunger, it worked great. Update, I took these to work, a co-worker took one bite, moaned and said "you have got to give me the recipe!"

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
Festivals | More than 40 French publishers, including all the major publishers of graphic novels, have signed on to a press release saying they won't participate in next year's Angouleme International Comics Festival without significant, fundamental changes in the way it's run. The signatories include almost every publisher that was at this year's festival. Guy Delcourt, head of Delcourt publishing and the president of the BD commission of the national publishers' association, said there have been problems with the festival for a long time, and attendance has been dropping, but after this year's omission of any female nominees for the Grand Prix and the unfunny fake awards ceremony, he is fed up with the whole thing. Delcourt stopped short of calling for executive director Franck Bondoux to resign, saying the problem is not with one individual but with the entire structure of the festival, which is overly complex and opaque. The publishers have asked the Minister of Culture to name a mediator to work with them to solve the problema and give the festival, in Delcourt's words, "the governance it deserves." [ActuaBD]
Conventions | San Diego's Convention Center Corp. has adjusted its estimate of how much money Comic-Con International pumps into the local economy, down from last year's $178 million to $136 million, because of possible double-counting and other flaws in methodology. [Voice of San Diego]
Passings | Leonard Starr, who wrote and drew the comic strip Mary Perkins On Stage, died Tuesday at age 89. Starr started his career in 1942, when he was a student at New York's Pratt Institute, and he worked for most of the early comics publishers: Funnies, Incorporated, Timely (now Marvel), Fawcett, E.C. and DC. He also did work for the Simon and Kirby studio, and both Joe Simon and Jack Kirby were admirers. When comics publishing began to decline in the mid-1950s, Starr began working on newspaper comics and crafting his own strip, Mary Perkins On Stage, which ran from 1957 until 1979, winning a Reuben Award in 1965. After Mary Perkins ended, Starr took over as writer and artist of Little Orphan Annie, bringing new energy to that legacy property until his retirement in 2000. He also wrote a series of graphic novels, Kelly Green, and was the main showrunner for the ThunderCats animated series. [News from ME]
Passings | Jay Maeder, who was the last writer for the comic strip Annie (formerly Little Orphan Annie), passed away Tuesday at age 67. A former New York Daily News columnist and editor who authored Dick Tracy: The Official Biography and contributed to The Encyclopedia of American Comics, Maeder worked on Annie, together with artist Andrew Pepoy, from 2000 its cancellation 2010. He created Amelia Santiago, a pilot and CIA agent, and once said of the strip, "I tell people it's Indiana Jones with chicks." [The New York Times]
Manga | Deb Aoki rounds up the manga news from Comic-Con International, including UDON's license of Kill la Kill and Drawn and Quarterly's plans to publish Shigeru Mizuki's biography of Hitler. [Publishers Weekly]
Although few seemed to realize it, Little Orphan Annie has been missing for nearly four years, a victim of both declining readership and a murderous war criminal. But in June, the comics page's greatest detective will set out in pursuit of the plucky young heroine.
In a curious crossover by the Dick Tracy team of Mike Curtis and Joe Staton, Oliver "Daddy" Warbucks will hire the detective to find Annie, who was last seen June 13, 2010 in Guatemala, the captive of the Butcher of the Balkans. While the fugitive criminal boasted that he has slaughtered "many," he refused to kill Annie and instead pledged to take her with him on his travels.
Since then, a distraught Warbucks has searched the globe for his adopted daughter without success, leaving him with only one option — Dick Tracy.
"Joe and I have planned Annie's rescue for some time," Curtis said in a statement, "and we'll deliver action-packed, over-the-top thrills and chills as the two features combine their casts for what we hope will be the most historic tale in comic strip history."
Manga | Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump has announced that One Piece will go on hiatus for the magazine's next two issues because creator Eiichiro Oda has been hospitalized for a peritonsillar abscess, a complication of tonsillitis. The popular series is expected to return June 10. One Piece, which has been serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump since 1997, has sold more than 280 million volumes in Japan alone. [Anime News Network]
Creators | Art Spiegelman and Francoise Mouly share their thoughts (and sometimes disagree) on their own world, the comics world in general, and digital media. [National Post]

As we're heading towards the middle of August, it's no surprise that curiosity is getting me to pick up more than a few DC books just see how particular series "end;" I'd be getting Justice League of America #60 and Legion of Super-Heroes #16 (both DC, $2.99) anyway, because I've been following those series for awhile, but I'm likely to add Batman #713 (DC, $2.99) to the pile as well, if only to see the explanation as to why Dick quits being Batman before the big relaunch. But it's not all endings for me with my $15 this week; I'd also make a point of grabbing Daredevil #2 (Marvel, $2.99), because the first issue was just breathtakingly good, and the series became a must-read before I'd even reached the last page.
If I had $30 this week, I'd add to my list of DC final issues with Supergirl #67 (DC, $2.99), which Kelly Sue DeConnick has talked up in interviews as being the highpoint of her short run to date and a great capper to the series as a whole. I'd also check in with the third issue of David Hahn's All Nighter (Image, $2.99), as well as see if Nick Spencer's Iron Man 2.0 is worth a look with the mini-collection of the first three issues, Iron Man 2.0: Modern Warfare (Marvel, $4.99).
Welcome to the first Food or Comics? for 2011. Every week we talk about what comics we'd buy on Wednesday based on certain spending limits — $15 and $30 — as well as what we'd get if we had extra money or a gift card to spend on what we call our "Splurge" item.
Check out Diamond's release list for this week if you'd like to play along in our comments section.

Hey, it's the first week of 2011, and time to get some awesome comics, right? Right? So for my $15, I'll pick up… Oh. Kind of a slow week, then, huh? Well, there's always Steel #1 (DC, $2.99), the sure-to-be-controversial one-shot that launches the retro "Reign of Doomsday" crossover, and my love of James Robinson's Justice League will ensure I pick up the Starman/Congorilla one-shot (DC, $2.99), if only to find out what all those interludes in the middle of the current "Omega" storyline are all about. Curiosity compels me to pick up Image's Walking Dead Weekly #1 ($2.99), if only to see if it's pretty much an exact reprint of the original first issue with a different cover, but that remaining $6 may just end up burning a hole in my pocket. Maybe I'll put it toward my $30 haul…
The sun may be setting on her comic strip, but Little Orphan Annie will rise again in fall 2012 — on Broadway.
The Associated Press reports that producer Arielle Tepper Madover (Hair, Frost/Nixon) has acquired the rights to mount a revival of Annie, the award-winning musical that debuted in 1977 on Broadway.
The adaptation of Harold Gray's comic strip was transformed into a feature film in 1982 and a TV movie in 1999. With music by Charles Strouse, lyrics by Martin Charnin, and book by Thomas Meehan, Annie features such well-known songs as "Tomorrow" and "It's the Hard Knock Life."
Tribune Media Services announced last month that Sunday will mark the final installment of Little Orphan Annie. The strip, which debuted on Aug. 5, 1924, once appeared in hundreds of newspapers. Now it runs in fewer than 20.
After more than 85 years, the sun will no longer come out for Little Orphan Annie, Harold Gray's Depression Era comic about a red-haired waif and the kindly capitalist who gives her a home.
Although the strip, which debuted on Aug. 5, 1924 in the New York Daily News, once appeared in hundreds of newspapers, it now runs in fewer than 20. So Tribune Media Services has decided to cancel Annie with the June 13 installment — a cliffhanger, curiously enough.
The Chicago Tribune's Phil Rosenthal reports that Sunday strip will end with Daddy Warbucks uncertain of Annie's fate after her latest run-in with the Butcher of the Balkans.
"Annie is definitely not dying," Steve Tippie, TMS' vice president of licensing, tells Rosenthal. He says that while "the daily newspaper strip will go away […] that doesn't mean that Annie won't come back … whether it's (in) comic books, graphic novels, in print, electronic. It's just too rich a vein (not) to mine."
Indeed, Little Orphan Annie inspired a long-running radio show, three motion pictures, a television movie, and a musical — the basis for one of those films — that ran for six years on Broadway and has since been staged countless times around the world.
IDW Publishing has released four volumes of The Complete Little Orphan Annie collection through its Library of American Comics imprint.

What are your Minecraft resolutions?
I have written a thread in the Lounge asking Toggers for their New Year's gaming resolutions (http://www.theoldergamers.com/forum/...ml#post3971997) but I also wonder what people's plans are for Minecraft in 2014?
Do you have a particular structure you want to make? Is there a Mod you want to try? Are you planning a machine or an entire map?
Myself, I want to find the time to play Minecraft again. I have only been able to sporatically play single player in the last six months. I have started a special project (Gatchaman / G-force Minecraft Project) and I would like to get at least one major structure completed, with a simple adventure version made. Maybe. Hopefully.
What about you?
|2nd January 2014, 10:45 PM
|#2 (permalink)
I play in some form almost every day, but i need to get more focused on a single project instead of trying to do a bit of everything. That is difficult as there are so many incredible mods and the game is showing no sign of slowing down.
I am kind of hoping that Minecraft reaches a form of final release by the end of this year, so that all mods can be developed based on the same version, rather than playing catch up.
For a structure i would like to attempt another star ship on a larger scale than my USS Enterprise. I have a few cool ideas planned.
And obviously would love to be involved in more Hunger Games. Would really like to see a Feed the Beast Hunger Games, with all the additional blocks we have available.

Moved from my blog:
Post 1:
Here is a summary of what I can tell about Unbalance x 2 based on the first 4 volumes (in case you don't want to read my whole post):
Lots of drama
Some romance
Preety good story and characters
Student x teacher relationship
Actually serious (the comedy aspect gets really overshadowed by drama)
It isn't really a harem series, but more of a love polygon one
More drama
Even more drama
Actual post starts here:
I started reading Unbalance x 2 with very little expectations, after all my previous experience with works by IM Dal-Young and LEE Soo Hyun (though the second guy draws really well). However I find myself totally blow away by this manhwa. Yeah, it's THAT good (at least the first 4 volumes).
The series is tagged harem and ecchi on a few manga sites, by the series is actually driven by drama, lots of drama and quite a bit of romance. I'm so sucked to the story, that I'm hardly noticing any of the ecchi (it seems that there wasn't much of that stuff to begin with*). As for the harem part, it's not there. Instead, there is a somewhat complicated love polygon.
*Unless, more ecchi content gets introduced in the later volumes, but that would suck.
Let's get back to the story. When I read that it is a student x teacher romance series, the first thing that came to my mind was that it was something cheesy like Onegai Teacher, but I was wrong. The male lead in Unbalance x 2 is nothing like Kei from Onegai Teacher. This guy has character and lots of it. In one chapter you want to prise him for showing some spine and manliness, but then you really feel like beating the s*** out of him in the next chapter for being a total douchebag. The good thing is, he does get what he deserves whenever he acts like a jerk. When he is introduced in the series, he returns a lost wallet and a cellphone to a certain beautiful lady in a shopping mall. How chivalrous of him, right? Wrong, as it happens some of the money in the wallet have mysteriously disappeared. The owner of said wallet isn't impressed, but that's not the last we see of her. Next day, when the young lad goes to school, guess who happens to be his new homeroom teacher. I don't need to add that they don't go along well. It really is far better than it sounds. The manhwa may seem to go in some dangerous/odd directions on a few occasions, but I recommend not dropping it. I really mean it (at least that how it was with the first 4 volumes). This said the author does like to hit the reader with something unexpected once in a while (like you're hit by a truck, kind of thing).
P.S. It's one of those manhwa you don't judge by the cover nor by those fanservice chapter title images.
Post 2:
So I finished reading Unbalance x 2. Most of it was good, but the drama started getting on my nerves towards the end and the last few chapters were so so. When the manhwa started feeling like they were dragging on, a rushed ending came out of blue (I heard there was a hiatus). Another complain I could have about this manhwa, is that most secondary characters end up being underdeveloped. Once a character served it's purpose, the author almost forget about him or her. My previous post about Unbalance x 2 holds true for the rest of the manhwa, maybe except for the harem part. The manhwa never develops into a harem one, but you do get the harem feel in the later chapters. This impression is only strengthened by the fact that the author does nothing with remaining characters (and some of them had feelings for some of the harem girls).
So in general, the manhwa was good, it's just the last volume that was so so...
Story: 8
Okay, so I'm going to totally admit that when I read the synopsis, I believed I'd be reading a comedy with more focus on the ecchi side of things. Woman loses her wallet and is promptly returned by a young man only to find he took a trivial amount of money for his reward. Woman demands he pay her back. Later young man finds out this woman is his homeroom teacher and other slightly compromising incidents ensue(seriously who wouldn't think that ecchi?)
The story is pretty far from being crude or ecchi and actually has some decent drama and surprising moments, as well as the typical highschool ecchiness/ comedy. It really keeps from being just a typical cliché' melodrama and really leaves you wondering just what is going to happen. I'd say there's more focus on the drama so it will appear to both male and female readers(sorry if that sounds sexist)
Art: 8
I've read quite a lot of manga and it seems pretty standard fair with well drawn characters expressing their moods and facial expressions rather convincingly.
Characters: 9
Possibly the most surprising about this series is the characters. The main characters have quite a few layers/ depth to them and with exception to one or two side characters they keep from being one dimensional. You actually sympathize or feel bad for them. Sometime even wonder what certain characters' agendas may be. Their behavior might even surprise some- especially that of the main protagonist.
Overall: 8
I'd say while far from being perfect, this is a pretty darn good series. Exploring the relationships between the characters and the drama/ hardships/ hilarity that follows. Yes it's vaguely ecchi with a lot of drama( I do mean a lot) I find it fairly engrossing and look forward to the conclusion(still ongoing) This manwha will probably appeal to both male and female crowd- guys for the ecchi sounding story and ladies for the dramatic storylines and character development.
So this is not a fulll Review or anything but id thought that id state that the manga is not finished yet. so hopfully we could git that fixed some how.
So Unblance X Unblance is a Korin Manawa witch is read for Left-Right. This Manawa starts out as jin-ho Myung finds a wallet and Cellphone in a book store and shows him returnting it to the owner Hae-Young Nah but not before he promtily took 7000 Won (6.79$) to buy a book. She instintaly finds out and states that he well pay the debt off.
On the first day of his Senior Year not thinking to much of the debt he treats it like any other day but soon finds out his home room teacher is Hae-Young Nah. They have maney trails ahead of love,pain,drama and much much more.
Over all i personly fell this is a great story interisting and always has you on your toes to see what well happen next.
So i havent read many manga or Manawa in my life but looking at the art of this it felt prety nice seeing new invirments always seeing thair face expresions it would always through somthing new onto the table.
Now besides for the names that i had a problem nowing who was who becouse i was new to manawa the Characters all seem to be pretty good not to Cliché with some charecturs that would always look diffrent.

I have a bluetooth mouse (Apple Mighty Mouse) which I use with Kubuntu (KDE). I always have to manually connect to the mouse, although it is listed as a trusted device. How can I automatically connect the mouse when I have it turned on? Or at least reconnect after suspend?
You can use
First manually connect your mouse as you usually do, then open a terminal and run
Once this is done, you can force the bluetooth device detection by running
In order to do that automatically at every boot, you want to edit
Also make sure that your mouse is plugged in at boot time. If you plug it in after booting you will have to manually detect the mouse again.
Hope this helps.

Patterson Companies ( PDCO) is a provider of learning and talent management solutions providing a set of People Cloud Applications that include enterprise learning, talent management, testing and assessment and collaboration solutions delivered through the Saba People Cloud. The stock is trading up 1.4% at $33.40 in recent trading. Today's Volume: 871,000 Average Volume: 689,574 Volume % Change: 85% From a technical perspective, PDCO is advancing modestly today on above average volume. This move is quickly pushing PDCO within range of triggering a major breakout trade. That trade will hit once PDCO can take out some overhead resistance at $33.51 to $33.80 with high-volume. Traders should now look for long biased trades if PDCO can sustain a move and close above those levels on volume that's near or well above 689,574 shares. If we get that action soon, look for PDCO to rip higher towards its next significant overhead resistance level at $36.50 in the near future. Prev 4 of 6 Next
