Flow Cytometry Core Abstract: The flow cytometry core laboratory (FCCL) was initiated at the end of the phase I of the COBRE program. The two instruments that are used most often were purchased through a private donation and COBRE provided the funds to employ an operator, maintain the equipment, and purchase the necessary consumables. Initially, the FCCL served COBRE-funded investigators, but quickly grew to be an essential component of the infrastructure of the KUMC research community. The core has served 72 investigators in the Kansas City area during the past year. As the user base of the FCCL has grown, so has the staffing and instrumentation. We added a second flow cytometer, Luminex, laser scanning microscope, Celigo, and RoboSep. We also added a biosafety room in which we can FACS-purify human and non-human primate cells. In addition, we added two personnel: a manager and a flow cytometry technician. We established an internal flow advisory committee (IFAC) and an external flow advisory committee (EFAC) to monitor the progress of the FCCL as we progress toward a sustainable business model. Procedures for investigators to use the FCCL are centered around mentoring and training. We mentor investigators as to the best technology available to address their scientific questions. We also counsel investigators as to the best combination of reagents available to successfully complete the experiments. Once users are ready to perform the experiments, we advise them regarding experimental technique. Then, we train each user individually in the operation of the relevant equipment. Once data are obtained, we train the user to analyze and interpret the data. At the completion of the investigator's experience with the FCCL, they understand why the technology used is the best for their biological question, how to prepare the samples, acquire the data, analyze the data, and present the data.

In the postwar years BBC TV, in line with government policy, had operated the "Toddlers' Truce", a television-free hour between 6pm and 7pm designed to let parents get the children into bed. The BBC were happy – it saved them money – but the advent of commercial television brought pressure from the ITV companies, who saw it as lost advertising revenue. The Postmaster-General, Charles Hill, weighed in, criticising the Truce as BBC paternalism. On Saturday 16 February 1957, it disappeared: the BBC's first transmission was Six-Five Special.

556hp Audi RS4 B7 PES Supercharger: Drag Races!
Like TypeRacer8 on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/TypeRacer8/283936998318075 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- At the event 'Rolling50' by Supercar Club 500 a pretty brutal Audi RS4 B7 participated the starting grid. Racing against a B5 RS4, C63 w/ Capristo Exhausts, 625hp MTB GT-R and a 550hp BMW M3 E46 Cabriolet. Three of these for races were won by this Audi RS4 with a Supercharger from PES. Searching for some specifications I found this article on the website of PES: Introducing the PES G4 FSI Audi Supercharger kit for the RS4 4.2 FSI engine. At the heart of the system is the PES cast aluminum intake manifold and an Eaton M112 Supercharger. This roots-type positive displacement Supercharger delivers instant, seamless Boost throughout the RPM range. Eaton Superchargers are used as OEM equipment on Mercedes Benz, Aston Martin, and Jaguar automobiles. The system is supplied complete with all parts necessary for installation. The addition of forced induction necessitates enhanced fuel delivery to ensure the correct air/fuel ratio for performance and safety. The kit includes PES's in house ECU recalibrating and offers ultra smooth drivability, and seamless power delivery. Supercharged V8 EmblemThe G4 Supercharger FSI system is the result of over 2 years of design and road testing using data logging software. Our vehicles are tested under a wide variety of driving conditions ranging from "easy" daily commutes to severe track conditions. We also test our systems in a broad range of temperatures, from bitter winter cold to blazing summer heat. Testing is also conducted using both Dynojet and Mustang dynamometers. We are so confident in the reliability of the system that we offer a one year, unlimited mileage warranty. PES B7 RS4 4.2 FSI engine bayOur RS4 Supercharger kit runs a conservative 7psi Boost fed through an air/liquid Intercooler system which is separate from the cars cooling system. This highly efficient system provides an increase of 40% over stock HP and TQ. The system offers a power Boost that instantly turns the RS4 into a true sports sedan to rival the worlds best. The tachometer seems to move through the RPM range at twice the speed of stock. The kit includes all parts needed for a perfect installation and retains a clean, OEM under bonnet appearance. We've even tapped the inlet manifold to accommodate direct port water/methanol injection should you desire. The PES RS4 Supercharger kit has been thoroughly tested on the road and track. A great example of this is our supercharged "R8 Raptor", of which you can see in the video list opposite. This car placed 3rd in the 2009 Bull Run cross country race! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- What about the sound of this Audi RS4 B7 Supercharger?

The People's Republic of China is a very special country to buy a local SIM card. Although almost every mobile device is produced here in these days, buying a SIM card can be quite complicated, especially as very few people understand or speak English and you'll face some restrictions.
Basics Edit
This article applies only to mainland China and doesn't refer to the 'special administration' areas of Hong Kong and Macau, where other laws are enforced and providers operate (see Hong Kong and Macau chapters).
Networks Edit
China has three national networks:
- China Mobile (中国移动)
- China Unicom (中国联通)
- China Telecom (中国电信)
All three are state- (or "people's-") owned and controlled. China Mobile is the largest mobile provider of the world with more than 800 Mio. customers and almost 2/3 share of the market, followed by China Unicom with 24 % and China Telecom with 14 % market share.
Frequencies, compatibility and coverage Edit
|China Mobile
|900, 1800 MHz
|*TD-LTE: 1900, 2300, 2500 MHz*
|China Unicom
|900, 1800 MHz
|2100 MHz
|FD-LTE: 850, 1800, 2100 MHz
*TD-LTE: 2300, 2500 MHz*
|China Telecom
|FD-LTE: 800, 1800, 2100 MHz
*TD-LTE: 2300, 2500 MHz*
* = not compatible with many GSM-devices sold outside of China
So China Mobile's and China Unicom's 2G (up to EDGE speed) are compatible with common GSM/2G phones (although US-models need quad-band). China Mobile's 3G service is based on a weird Chinese-made TD-SCDMA standard, which unfortunately is not compatible with any phones from outside China. Again, if you brought your own phone from outside China, you will not be able to use 3G on China Mobile's Network.
Only China Unicom's 3G network is compatible with any unlocked phone that supports 2100 MHz 3G, which covers most modern smartphones in up to HSPA+ speed (max. 21.1 Mbit/s).
China Telecom uses a CDMA network which is incompatible with all GSM-phones purchased outside China. Only a few CDMA devices from the US or Asia can adapt to their frequencies (for more details see China Telecom section below).
4G/LTE started in 2013 on China Mobile as TDD-LTE on 1900, 2300 and 2500 MHz, which is now starting to be used in other countries too. Certain phones like the iPhone 6 are usable on China Mobile's 4G network. China Unicom and China Telecom were given licenses for 1800 MHz 4G FDD-LTE which are compatible with most 4G phone models worldwide and are now already on the air in most cities.
The hilarious reasons for this frequency situation are described in detail by Michael Jennings: here (His story is still accurate, but needs an update: In early 2014 China Mobile has teamed up with Apple and since then the biggest operator of the world sells the iPhone at last).
In 2014 China's regulator released MVNO licenses to different companies. Mi Mobile (小米移动 电话卡) by manufacturer Xiaomi started in September 2015 both on China Unicom and China Telecom. SIM cards are only available online to be sent to a Chinese address and registration can be made only with Chinese IDs. That's why they aren't listed (more info in Chinese here).
Coverage Edit
China Mobile has the best coverage in the country, covering the whole nation in 2G. But you will get it only in up to EDGE speed (around a max. of 320 Kbps). This is sufficient for phone calls and texts and basic data like: maps, WAP sites, instant messaging. Not holding a phone built for the Chinese market China Mobile's 2G is pretty useless for mobile internet or VoIP calls. For this, your only choice is China Unicom on 3G/4G, which still has a reasonable coverage.
Starting up Edit
While it has become more difficult to get a local SIM card in recent days, the process is still relatively painless (but be prepared to wait if you go the official route) There are no regulations that you have to live in the country or province. Some vendors are trying to sell mostly China Mobile SIM cards on the street. If you do this, make sure the SIM works before leaving the vendor stand. While you can skip the tedious task of registration by doing this, you will not be able to receive any support after activation.
Better go to small mobile shops or the official shops of the operators showing your passport and say "SIM Kaa" pointing at your device. Don't expect anybody to speak English (you may be luckier if you are in a foreigner area of a big city). You may make a print copy in Chinese of the products which are featured on this site before going to the store.
The problem is recently, that most shops - even the small newsstands - only accept the machine-readable Chinese ID card. Foreign passports seem to be accepted only by the flagship stores of the providers (or at airports). While you may ask a Chinese to 'borrow' his ID card, you should know that behind the strict identification requirement is to track someone down in case of 'politically incorrect' use of the cell phone. What shops may do instead is sell you an unactivated SIM; this way, you can still enjoy the lower prices that third-party vendors are often able to get.
Start-up prices for the SIM cards can be very variable depending on the number. While a 8 in your number means good luck and an extra surcharge, a 4 in contrast is seen as bad luck and discounted. So prices are around 60 RMB for bad numbers up to 300 RMB for very lucky ones.
China's operators don't charge for new basic SIM cards (while a surcharge may be billed for a nano SIM). The minimum initial credit is 100 RMB and you have to choose a package for service, which starts at 8 RMB per month with no inclusive minutes or SMS. You can pay more (between 18 to 588 RMB per month) for a variety of combinations of minutes, SMS and data. Call costs vary depending on whether you are in or out of the province where you bought and registered the SIM card, and if you are out of province, then you also pay to receive calls unless you have a plan that includes it.
Data rates are generally low: all providers have lowered their default rate to 60 RMB per GB. This means that for data you can use their default rate. From 2015 all providers have also started to roll over unused data allowances in bundles over to the next month.
The registration can lead to some paperwork but should be done in a couple of minutes even if you don't speak the language. Their flagship stores are very recommended especially if someone speaks English there, as he/she can help you with problems using the service. On the other side, it's not recommended to buy a SIM card at airports, as the prices tend to be higher there, although it will be easier to find an English speaker.
Another option is to consider buying a Hong Kong-based SIM and use it in roaming in the mainland China. Both China Mobile and China Unicom sell dual-number SIMs in Hong Kong with very reasonably priced data packages that allow access to websites ordinarily not allowed (Great Firewall) as well as cheap voice calls and texts. Many of the Chinese issues below can be avoided by doing so (online top-up with home country credit/debit card means no one-province-only top-up voucher issues, all usage is priced at one national rate, no advertising texts) at the cost of somewhat higher prices on voice, text, and data (still well below roaming from most other countries).
Normally, all three sizes of SIM cards are available. If not, someone will cut it to size for you.
Real Name Registration Edit
A real name registration policy for mobile users in China was issued in 2010, requiring people to show their national identification card and complete a registration form when purchasing a new SIM card to activate mobile services. Started in 2013, all new mobile phone users have to register their real names in order to use any services. You might easily get a SIM card from a retail store on street, but you still have to go to the service point of the carrier for official registration and activation before using it. Though some shops will still activate your SIM card on someone else's name for a surcharge, do not expect this; due to sting operations run by local police to catch vendors doing this, you may only be able to do this if you look obviously not Chinese.
Regional organization Edit
All three providers are organized regionally. You get a SIM card with mobile phone number associated with region of purchase (area, province) like in the USA or Russia. All calls are charged equally within the province, around 0.2 RMB per minute. And you are charged the same being called and calling out. Calls outside the province will have a surcharge again inbound and outbound, international (IDD) calls can be very expensive and often not enabled at all.
This national roaming exists not only for incoming calls but for data too. On many tariffs local and national data are distinguished. So try to buy your SIM at the place you intend to use it most or buy another SIM in the next province.
Cheap foreign (IDD) calls can be made from landlines using special long-distance value cards called "IP cards" or using VoIP from your mobile if you have a stable 3G connection or a Wifi access. Be aware that an IP card costs about 20 to 25 CNY and has a credit of 100 CNY!
The regional organization of the mobile providers does mean that you have nationwide coverage, but topping up you SIM card outside of the province where you have bought it can be a formidable task. Recharge vouchers / top-up cards sold all over the country only work in the province where there are sold! This makes it very annoying for travelers to recharge their SIM cards.
So try to load enough credit in your "home" province, or you have to ask a local if he can help you. Of course you can recharge online on the operator website or use the Taobao platform but all this ways accept Chinese credit cards only. Some travelers succeeded in topping up not by scratch cards sold all over but to look for the few agencies which provide direct / electronic top-up giving their phone number and paying in cash. Furthermore, there are reload agencies on the web, doing the top-up for a surcharge.
Running out of credit is not a good idea, as your phone may be blocked for incoming calls too. This depends on the provider. China Mobile will allow you to run an overdraft. The amount varies depending on your payment history and how long you have been a customer with them. China Unicom may allow incoming calls even with a zero balance depending on your plan. If your plan allows it, you will receive a text when your balance reaches zero, notifying you of that fact. Your text messages may also be deleted if you have not stored them before in your phone.
Further particularities Edit
You will get a lot of advertisements, which you can't block. Ad text messages are the least annoying and can be deleted right away. But you will get calls in the middle of the night as well with only one ring. The idea is to make you call back an expensive premium number, so don't call it back. If you have a Hong Kong SIM, you may instead find banks and lenders cold-calling you advertising personal loans. These are easy to avoid by rejecting calls from numbers starting in 852. You will also get the data balance popping on your phone every time it disconnects from the network and this can be quite often.
Even if you choose to try to stick to WiFi instead of purchasing mobile data, you should know that a lot of public access points in places like Starbucks, McDonald's or at airports need a verification code to be sent to a Chinese mobile number, which you need to provide.
Instant messaging has become an usual form of communication in China too. There WeChat is generally preferred to Whatsapp, but certain other apps like LINE and KakaoTalk are outright blocked.
Censorship Edit
The censorship in China is so widespread and notorious that it needs to be addressed in more detail as it will certainly hamper your internet access and operations. This is often referred to as "Great Firewall of China".
Access to lot of websites is simply blocked. Not only political, but usual sites like Facebook, Twitter or YouTube. In particular Google including Gmail, Search, Maps, etc. are blocked since it discontinued their cooperation with the Chinese authorities. Here is an updated survey of the most important websites that are inaccessible right now in China: Websites blocked in China
All social messaging (like WeChat or Whatsapp) and even text messages are screened and monitored for certain terms and can be censored. This surveillance normally applies to texts in Mandarin (Chinese) language only and English will not be filtered.
The usual way to circumvent this blocking, is to use a VPN or proxy app or software. Before travelling to China, you should download and try out some of them and possibly sign up to and familiarize yourself with one. Make sure, that they are not blocked as the Chinese government or operators (esp. China Unicom) try to sniff and kill the connection if they detect a VPN. You should also change your DNS server to a server ouside of China.
- Here is a manual how to implement a VPN on an iPhone: how to break through the great firewall of China
- Here are updated lists of best working VPN proxies for China: list #1list #2
- Here is a manual how to change DNS servers and how to avoid China's DNS servers
Access to VoIP (Skype and others) is not restricted and tethering allowed on all Chinese SIM cards. This censorship is not carried out, if you are using an international SIM card (even one from Hong Kong or Macau) on roaming in China.
China Mobile (中国移动) Edit
Normally, China Mobile should not be part of the list as it uses a very own and totally incompatible 3G version called TD-SCDMA (see frequencies above). It has the most developed LTE network too, but again it uses a very Chinese TDD-LTE which is only just starting to be used in a few other countries. For 4G 1900 MHz (band 39), 2300 MHz (band 40) and 2500 MHz (band 41, compatible with band 38) on TDD-LTE are employed.
On the other side, it's by far the biggest operator of the world with more than 800 million customers (that's more as twice as much as all mobile subscribers in the US on all networks together), and there are operators outside China starting to adopt TDD-LTE as well (meaning in the future more devices sold outside the country will support it). At the end of 2015 it had 250 million 4G customers alone, that's more than the next five 4G providers in the world combined. So we should make an exception.
Without doubt, it has the best network in all provinces and is your first choice for voice and text as theses rates don't differ so much among the providers. For data you will probably get only EDGE speed up to 384 kbit/s, but often slower. So desktop websites, VPN use (see above) or VoIP are not feasible on China Mobile on most GSM-devices. The iPhone 6/6+ (except those purchased from the major carriers in America) and certain Sony phones sold in Japan (Xperia ZL2 and Z3) support the 4G used by China Mobile, resulting in a much better data experience. In addition, the iPhone 6S and 6S+ will support TD-LTE on all models as the iPad Air 2 does, so if you are getting one, you can be assured of a good data experience on China Mobile.
Easy Own and MZone Edit
In most cities, China Mobile used to sell their prepaid cards not under its own brand name, but under other names like Easy Own (神州行= Shénzhōuxínɡ) or MZone ( 动感地带 = Dònggǎn Dìdài). From 2015 China Mobile 4G branded SIM cards are sold in the centers where LTE was launched. Prices and composition of the plans vary slightly by province.
To add value, remember value cards only work within the province: They'll either be a scratch-off card, or a tear-off voucher, a typical value is 100 RMB for China Mobile, dial 138-0013-8000 or 138-0013-8000, press "2″ for English, then press "1#," and enter the number printed on your voucher or card.
For cheaper international calls, you need to activate IDD prefixes. This usually requires a deposit and a visit to a China Mobile shop. Prefix 12593 costs 1 RMB per month but does not require a deposit. For IDD call prices using this prefix, see here.
You can check your balance at any time by sending an SMS with the text "ye" to the number 10086. If you have a data plan, you can send an SMS with the text "1091" to 10086, and you'll receive a reply stating how much data you've used and how much is remaining.
Data feature packs Edit
In most provinces like Shanghai or Beijing, new subscribers are now required to pick a base plan first, which is either a MZone, EasyOwn or a new 4G global plan. MZone plans include data allowances for mobile internet and in some provinces for WiFi hotspots with the SSID of "CMCC-WEB" around China, as well as generally nationwide free incoming calls and differ between regions.
Their new 4G global plans (4G飞享套餐) all include both voice minutes and mobile data, with free incoming calls (e.g. valid in Beijing and Shanghai):
|50 mins
|50 mins
|50 mins
|100 mins
|220 mins
|500 mins
|500 mins
|1000 mins
|1000 mins
|2000 mins
|4000 mins
These packages need to be activated in-store or online, if you know Mandarin. Other plans and packages may be available according to province. On all plans unused data rolls over to the next month since 2015.
Overuse fees are 0.29 RMB per MB and having reached 60 RMB (at slightly above 200 MB) the rest of up to 1 GB is free. Note that this makes excess data very cheap at 60 RMB per GB, only capped at 500 RMB or 15 GB. In fact, it's cheaper for using data-only to buy a small package and use excess data instead.
Roaming SIM cards from China Mobile Hong Kong Edit
Unlike China Unicom, China Mobile has its own network in Hong Kong. However, this does not prevent them from selling their own roaming SIMs for mainland China out of Hong Kong. They come with some benefits, like bypassing the Great Firewall, skipping registration, and being able to top up with a foreign credit card. Additionally, China Mobile HK offers a bonus scheme for users, who reload online. However, their roaming SIMs are harder to find online, usually being limited to sales on eBay from third parties. If you are transiting Hong Kong on the way to China and have the time to step outside, there is a China Mobile kiosk on the Arrivals level at HKG airport. There are different SIM cards (only sold in/from Hong Kong):
- The nationwide 4G/3G SIM is the 4G/3G China-HK Prepaid SIM Card which costs HK$120 and comes with HK$114 of credit valid for 180 days. Basic data rate is HK$1.5 per MB capped at HK$48 daily. The 30-day packages of 200MiB (HK$38), 1GiB (HK$118) and 2GiB (HK$198) are available.
- Their 4G/3G China 10-day Data Prepaid SIM Card offers a data-only product for use in both HK and mainland China. This SIM is HK$148 for 1.5 GB of HK+mainland data, and can be topped up at HK$100 per extra GB of data per 10 days or used at the daily rate of HK$48 in HK or China. Take care; the initial validity period is only 10 days, so it must be topped up before expiration for additional use. This SIM is resold and delivered globally by http://www.prepaid.com.hk
- If you can not obtain one of the two above SIMs, the 30-day packages can also be activated on the 4G/3G Individual Traveler Prepaid SIM Card and 4G/3G Super Talk Prepaid SIM Card. However, the daily rate is not available for these SIMs (you will pay HK$1.5/MB with no cap without a package) and voice and text are charged at higher rates.
All cards state on the packaging, that they should be activated in Hong Kong. This is a suggestion, not mandatory; there is a bonus of unlimited data in HK for exactly 24 hours upon activation (you will get SMS confirmation of expiry time), but if you do not plan on going to HK first, it can be activated from within mainland China with no issue by dialing *#130# on the phone, after signal is received.
Additionally, the 4G/3G SIMs now have an FUP on the daily unlimited rate. If you use more than 1 GB in a day, China Mobile reserves the right to throttle your connection to not less than 128 kbps.
All SIMs participate in CMHK's top-up bonus scheme. The following bonuses apply for online top-ups, which can be done with a Visa or MasterCard issued from any country:
- HK$ 30-49 for a 5% bonus
- HK$ 50-199 for a 15% bonus
- HK$ 200-299 for a 20% + HK$ 10 bonus
- >HK$ 300 for a 30% + HK$ 10 bonus
For the monthly SIMs there are also the following data packs available for purchase as well as the daily option:
- 200 MB for HK$ 38
- 1 GB for HK$ 118
- 2 GB for HK$ 198
If you go over your data pack, you will be notified by SMS and your internet access will be shut off. You must unsubscribe from the pack, and you can choose to resubscribe to a pack or pay the daily rate going forward (an advantage over China Unicom's HK offering).
From the end of 2016, to conform with mainland registration laws, existing dual-number SIM cards will need to be registered while in HK; registration details will be shared with mainland China authorities. For details check China Unicom HK offers below. If you do not wish to register your SIM, you will continue to be able to use your Hong Kong number, but will no longer be able to use the mainland number (and thus, any services that use SMS to verify).
Do note, however, that if your phone does not support China Mobile's TDD-LTE or TD-SCDMA technology, it will not be able to access 4G or 3G, respectively in mainland China. Only the 4G/3G SIM is available now, so even if your device does not support these network technologies, you no longer have the option of paying less for 2G access only.

China Unicom (中国联通) Edit
China Unicom is the 2nd provider in the country and should be your preferred choice for data as it's the only one that uses 3G UMTS up to HSPA+ speed on 2100 MHz like used in most other places in Asia, Europe or Australia (see Basics chapter).
Their coverage is not as good as China Mobile's but still reasonable and sufficient. They started FDD-LTE on 1800 MHz in some city centers in 2014 that is commonly used for LTE in other countries too. In 2015 the focused on their 4G expansion, rather than building up more 3G coverage. Still, it offers the widest compartibility with devices from other parts of Asia, Europe and Australia.
It is recommended to buy their SIM cards in their shops or small mobile outlets with registration. As Google Maps are currently blocked in China, search on Yahoo or Bing to find the nearest store.
For cheap international calls you need to activate IDD prefixes. For IDD call prices using 17911, see here.
4G value pack (4G 套餐) Edit
This is their universal monthly voice and data SIM plan valid nationwide in China. If your phone supports LTE 1800 MHz (band 3), try to get a 4G value pack as China Unicom's 4G network already covers most areas in mainland China. The old 3G plans plans are slowly phased out and not sold anymore. Most customers got a free upgrade for 4G in 2015. These monthly plans are offered:
|200 mins
|300 mins
|500 mins
|1000 mins
|2000 mins
|3000 mins
While it has an included monthly allowance for national data and outgoing calls and free incoming calls, it has very low overuse/default rates: 0.15 RMB per min for a call and only 60 RMB for 1 GB of data. A domestic SMS or MMS is at 0.1 RMB and an international SMS at 0.8 RMB.
Their extra data rate is worth checking more closely: For 0-100 MB extra, they charge 30 RMB, for 100-200 MB extra 60 RMB in total. Beyond, there is no further charge from 200 MB to 1 GB. This scheme is repeated for every GB used additionally resulting in an overuse fee of no more than 60 RMB per GB. Extra data is capped at 15 GB and then shut off. So the larger combo packages only make sense, if you use a lot of domestic calls too. For more data better use the cheap default rate and don't buy a larger pack. Especially, as for all higher monthly packages, they like to see a deposit, which is inconvenient, as it pays back only slowly in the following months.
This plan is officially a "contract", but can be terminated by just not topping up in the following month. You are supposed to give a local address. So bring a hotel card with an address along. Remember the value pack has a recurring billing cycle. You add credit to your China Unicom account and fees will be deducted, in advance, on the 1st day of each month. Keep in mind, though, that China Unicom's billing cycle begins on the 1st day of each month regardless of the day on which you opened your account. This means that if you opened your account on May 29, you will be billed immediately a full month's worth of charges for services between May 29 and 31, and a new billing cycle still begins on June 1.
For temporary visitors of China, 4G value packs also offer an option to switch the account to dormant mode when you leave the country. Once enabled, your account is required to stay dormant for a minimum of 3 billing months. Dormant mode gives you the option to preserve your +186 number in China while you are away from the country and reactivate your SIM immediately upon return. You dial 10010 to change these options, and customer service handles requests in English. When your account is dormant, a service fee of 5 RMB is deducted on the 1st day of each month.
China Unicom has a confusing termination policy of their SIM cards which is reflected by these 2 user comments. Make up your mind:
WARNING 23/JAN/2016: China Unicom (possibly all 3 major carriers), is getting very strict about prepaid for visitors. All 4G plans require you to cancel your plan to avoid being blacklisted. You can no longer just let your prepaid account reach zero balance and lapse on its own. If you leave the country without properly terminate your plan and account, you will not be able to re-register a new SIM/phone number on your subsequent visits to China. Termination of prepaid SIM/account require you showing up at the China Unicom corporate stores with the original ID used to registered the SIM. If you leave without properly terminating your account, the system will draw your balance through monthly plan deductions, until the balance reaches zero. The system will cancel and release your assigned phone number after 90 days after account reaches 0RMB. If you return to China at a later day and wish to register and activate another prepaid SIM/phone number, you will be required to pay the 90 days worth of monthly fee of the offending prepaid account, for the period when your account is sitting at zero balance prior to your number being released (if you did not properly terminate the account prior to leaving.) If you let your SIM/account lapse in this fashion multiple times (apparently this means 2 or more times), you will be blacklisted and not able to registered future SIMs through the normal proper channels. Cancellation of prepaid plan is only allowed if your account balance is 25 RMB or less, and it does not matter if you wish to forfeit the balance. Account termination must be done in person, and cannot be done over the phone, 10010.com website or online chat agents. I learned this process the hard way and verified that with multiple phone agents and China Unicom store associates. Recommend that recurring Western visitors don't take any risk and violate these rules as China Unicom is the only carrier supporting Western 3G/4G devices.
Update 17/AUG/2016: I bought a prepaid Unicom SIM card in Inner Mongolia province and it ran out of credit when I reached Shaanxi province. I went to a Unicom store in Xian to get more credit and they simply issued me a new SIM card rather than try to add credit to my existing account. I asked them to cancel my old SIM card, but they said that they couldn't, and that i would need to do so in Inner Mongolia. Possibly this issue of blacklisting is only region specific or it only becomes a problem when you try to get your 2nd SIM in the same region?
If you have been affected by the blacklisting and do not wish to pay, your only option to use the Unicom network going forward is to buy a SIM from Hong Kong, where registration rules don't apply.
4G Data-only / Web Surfing Pass (4G 上网卡) Edit
This is a data-only SIM directed to modems, tablets, routers and MiFi's for heavy data volumes in 3G and 4G/LTE. You can use it in phones too, but it has no voice nor text. It is a one-off prepaid card without any obligations with 5 GB national data valid for one year sold at ¥ 600 (link) or 1,5GB for ¥ 160. There is no need for registration with these cards and they work immediately with any phone, tablet or laptop. Update 16/OCT/2016: Was today in a Unicom shop for bying a 4G Data-only Web Surfing Pass and Passport was needed.
There are other offers too depending on province. Note that some of these cards distinguish national and provincial data. You get the local bonus only in the province associated with the SIM card (see Basics chapter).
Topping up Edit
China Unicom claims to have released a nationwide refill card. A lot of users however were not able to top it up outside the province the SIM card is attached too. So try it with a small amount (e.g. 20 RMB) first if it really works. Also if you buy the refill code online on HK website, it will not work in China.
If you fail, you can ask a Chinese friend to load it on their website with a Chinese credit card, try to find a location which is able to make a direct (electronic) top-up or use one of the internet agencies which do top ups for a surcharge like ezetop or worldremit and others.
2016 Update: "WO" Edit
China Unicom shops (at least in Beijing) now seem to be co-branded with Unicom's subidiary "WO." If you enter a Unicom shop and ask for a SIM, they will most likely provide you with a WO card, and prices will not match the prices quoted above in this article. As of September 2016, a WO SIM at an official Unicom/WO store costs 75 RMB, and a 1GB data package (of unspecified duration) with 80 minutes of local calling costs 100 RMB. Recharging credit is easy using the automated kiosks in Unicom stores, but it is difficult to understand how to activate another data package as opposed to pay-per-use rates (which do not appear to be capped at 60 RMB/GB like the regular Unicom ones are). Balances can be checked by texting "tycl" to 10010 (and then translating from Chinese).
Lyvcom Edit
Lyvcom is an authorized distributor of China Unicom for selling into international visitor market segments in China and overseas. They sell China Unicom SIM cards abroad through the websites of Amazon US, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Spain and Italy with worldwide delivery. Lyvcom re-sells China Unicom's network in up to 4G/LTE speed and are valid for 90 days:
Additional data is 0.20 CNY per MB. It contains 50 local call mins or 100 texts. IDD calls are possible. All incoming calls and texts are free.
After you receive your SIM card, your must email: passport information, Amazon order ID, phone number of the SIM card holder. Detail instruction will be sent to you via Amazon messaging center once your make your order. The activation process won't shorten SIM card validation period, which only starts when you actually use the SIM card! Valid for 90 days from first use! Extensions are sold too. Be aware that data added via other channels except mychinaunicom.com may not be workable and may even suspend the card.
SIM Easy Edit
SIM Easy has partnered with China Unicom to sell similar SIM cards with preloaded 3G/4G data packages abroad. They are available with free international delivery. During the checkout process a copy of passport page is required for official registration that they will do for you. These packages are offered on 4G/LTE up to 300 Mbps in all three sizes:
- 2 GB for 30 days: US$ 30
- 3 GB and 50 local mins for 90 days: US$ 42.50
- 6 GB and 50 local mins for 90 days: US$ 77.50
Roaming SIM cards from China Unicom Hong Kong Edit
China Unicom also operates a MVNO in Hong Kong. They sell dual-number roaming SIMs that work in both Hong Kong and the Chinese mainland. One reason to get a SIM in Hong Kong instead of mainland China is because a China Unicom HK SIM will pass all data through Hong Kong, allowing through the "Great Firewall of China" (see Basics). Another reason is to be able to add money using a foreign Visa/MasterCard or PayPal at http://www.cugstore.com/tp/, which you can't do with a mainland SIM. This also conveniently avoids the issue of out-of-province top-ups since it's all done online. You can skip registration for these cards too.
Biggest benefit: The Unicom HK website is now in English, making the purchase and top-up process much easier than with mainland-based service. They also sell it through other platforms like Amazon.com or eBay.
Caution: Only use mainland recharge vouchers as a last resort with a Hong Kong SIM. Vouchers from any province will work, but the HKD conversion happens at a 1:1 rate, meaning you lose over HK$ 20 per 100 RMB topped up.
However these cards need to be purchased before travelling to mainland China in Hong Kong or online out of Hong Kong as they are not available in mainland China.
Their "Cross Border King Dual Prepaid SIM" is sold officially for HK$ 120 but often discounted to HK$ 70 with HK$ 66 credit. Default data is HK$ 2 per MB for Hong Kong and China and a monthly administration fee of HK$ 6 is debited. Voice costs HK$0.45/minute in Guangdong and HK$0.60/minute elsewhere. Three data passes can be bought:
- monthly: 100 MB pass for HK$ 35 - activation: *118*431#
- 1 day: 300 MB for HK$ 38 - activation: *118*441#
- 7 days: 500 MB for HK$ 78 - activation: *118*500#
Days are counted midnight to midnight in Hong Kong time, passes don't renew automatically and overuse is charged by the default rate.
Warning: The daily and monthly passes can NOT be changed after activation. Each extra MB costs HK$ 2, which is rather costly. Even though the pamphlet lists *118*430# as cancel code (for the monthly pass), it doesn't work. It was confirmed by calling the operator. The best way to get the most reasonable rate is to charge extra HK$ right after you buy the SIM card, then activate the data pass (1-day or 7-day).
The 7-day pass is the only one that can be renewed early if you run out before the pass expires. You will receive a text, possibly in Chinese, prompting you to reply "500" (no quotes) to it to renew the package. Make sure you have $78 in your account, then reply to renew.
They have a very similar product called "Cross Border King Dual Extra Prepaid SIM" for HK$ 138, often discounted to HK$ 100 with HK$ 80 credit. This card may be better value, as incoming calls are free, calls in all provinces are only HK$ 0.39/minute, default data is HK$ 0.80 per MB, and these packages are available:
- 7 days: 300 MB for HK$ 48 - activation: *118*448#
- 30 days: 500 MB for HK$ 68 - activation: *118*468#
- 30 days: 1GB for HK$118 - activation: *118*504#
The 300MB and 500MB packages are also applicable for Macau and Taiwan, while the 1GB package is only good in HK and mainland China.
However, this card includes an increased monthly administration fee of HK$ 18 per month. If you activate after the 15th, the administrative fee is HK$ 9 for the remainder of that month.
When you have exhausted the data in the package, you will get a text message informing you. You can then start a new package if you have sufficient credit in your account. The data service is only 3G, but the coverage is good.
Finally, they have a data-only SIM for Hong Kong and China, sold for HK$ 150, often discounted to HK$ 108 with 1 GB of data in Hong Kong (on 3 network) or China in 7 days. You can recharge by credit card or HK$ 100 vouchers available in 7-Eleven stores in HK for another 1 GB within 7 days at HK$ 100.
Unlike regular HK SIM cards starting December 2016 SIM cards with dual number need to be activated with a copy of passport and this has to be done in HK in person: see here The HK regulator has issued a consumer alert about dual SIMs. For compliance with regulations in the mainland, HK operators need to collect personal information and to obtain their consent to transfer the information to mobile operators and authorities in the mainland in order to enable them to continue the use of the mainland mobile numbers. If subscribers do not provide the required information or give their consent about transfer of such information, use of the mainland mobile numbers may be suspended.

China Telecom (中国电信) Edit
Compatibility Edit
China Telecom uses CDMA (and thus EVDO for 3G) like (Sprint and Verizon) in the US and in a few other Asian countries, which is incompatible with GSM-devices (see above). Their reliance on R-UIMs instead of the traditional North American method of storing programming data in the phone means that from overseas, only a select few unlockable devices from the Japanese CDMA provider "au", some Verizon phones from the US, and the latest generation of Verizon/Sprint-models with LTE and SIM/R-UIM slots are capable of using their network for voice and text. Older Verizon and most Sprint phones without card slots can be made to function on the network, however, this method is no longer available to visitors (purchasing mobile phone service online now requires real-time identity verification using a system that only functions with Chinese ID).
Furthermore, China Telecom has the smallest network with a market share of around 14 %. As a consequence, it has lower-priced plans and a long-standing practice of offering significant amounts of bonus credit with new subscriptions to attract more customers. For customers with compatible phones or tablets, China Telecom will most likely be a better deal. Do note, however, that only Verizon and unlockable au LTE-capable CDMA devices will completely function upon insertion of a China Telecom R-UIM; older Android handsets will only function with voice and text without additional software modification. iPhone 5 and newer from Verizon and Nexus 5X/6P and iPhone 6 and newer from all carriers will also function with China Telecom without modification. iPad Air and newer will also function with China Telecom for data only.
With these rates being much lower than on the two major players, you might also think of getting a CDMA USB-dongle or MiFi for data which is available for a few hundred RMBs, if you stay for longer in China. If you do not plan on leaving a major city and only need data, China Telecom runs an LTE network that is compatible with most devices sold overseas, even if they were made for GSM carriers.
Start up and availability Edit
Overseas visitors requiring Chinese prepaid SIM cards will need to show a passport only when buying at an official China Telecom location. Purchasing a SIM from a smaller shop officially requires the buyer to take the SIM to a store for activation if they do not posess a Chinese citizen ID card; the store may or may not be willing to activate it for you with a staff-provided ID card.
Deposit required varies from 50 to 900 RMB depending on desired plan but monthly charges can be taken from this. Be careful; the deposit with China Telecom is not refundable. However, the plan will typically leave little credit after the monthly plan charge is deducted.
Data feature packs Edit
4G data plans that are sold by usage typically don't sell data on a rolling monthly basis, but instead a certain amount of data good for a set amount of time, allowing for more flexible usage. Single-month SIMs are available, but not easy to find, and most third-party vendors will want to push multi-month packs on you instead. Unfortunately, there is no movement to make single-month cards more widely available.
|30 days
|90 days
|180 days
|365 days
Product link: http://www.189.cn/products/0609326550.html. These SIM cards are nationwide data-only and on 2G (CDMA), 3G (EVDO) and 4G (LTE) too and on their (unlimited) Wi-Fi, where available. Overuse fees are at a low 60 RMB per GB. The first 100 MB is charged at 0.3 RMB/MB, 100 MB - 500 MB another 30 RMB and no charge from 500 MB to 1 GB. This is repeated for every additional GB, capped at 600 RMB or 15 GB. For other products, check their website.
Asking for 'data only SIM-cards' may confuse the Telecom sales people. Instead ask for "internet card" (liu liang ka) or print out the offer above. You need to provide your passport and a phone number (ideally for your hotel) and the process can be more time consuming than expected.

Purchasing/Renting a SIM-card, Phone, Portable WiFi OnlineEdit
3G SOLUTIONS Edit
This is a reputable company which markets the products of China Unicom abroad for years. They send 4G/3G SIM cards to any place in China and abroad, rent SIM cards and pocket WiFis and do top-ups too.
It might be of an extra value for somebody to have a SIM card before arrival or a 100% English-speaking support, but you must be aware that their products will come at surcharge of some percentages.
For more info check their website and compare with the prices mentioned above for China Unicom.

Lindsay Lohan, 90 Days in Jail: Five alternative sentencing ideas
Lindsay Lohan cried this week in a sentencing hearing when she was ordered to spend ninety-days in jail, followed by probation. Harsh. All the same, with no less than two DUIs under her belt at age 24 -- and honestly, it's not like she couldn't afford someone to chauffer her around morning, noon and night while she imbibes -- Lohan is clearly in need of some tough love. Creatively tough love. Jail is okay, but if the courts really want Lohan to feel the burn of justice, here's five other things she could be sentenced to for ninety that will have her begging for mercy.
05. Ninety days of "A Little More Personal" It's not that Lohan's second full-length album (remember that?) was bad, per se -- it's that it was boring. Like those of so many celebrities at the top of their respective fields, Lohan's crossover effort came off as crass and manufactured just on the first listen. One million listens later, we're sure Lohan will be very sorry.
04. Ninety days of Herbie: Fully Loaded Though Lohan's performance was, without a doubt, the best thing about Disney's banal and utterly unnecessary 2005 continuation of its 1960s era Herbie series, the fact remains that she played a prominent role in partially ruining our beloved childhood memories of The Love Bug. Watch it until your eyes bleed, Lohan.
03. Ninety days of showing up to court Since Lohan's tough sentencing came mostly as a result of her failing to appear for court, perhaps an apt punishment would be just that: Showing up for life obligations that most people have the wherewithal to take seriously -- Except for then she probably wouldn't, which would just lead to more jail sentences, and then ... well, never mind.
No, you sicko, we're not going to show it.

02. Ninety days of not showing the vajayjay in public It seems Lohan has a curious inability to exit a car, boat or possibly any other means of transportation without revealing her hairless member -- like, really, how many times have we seen that thing? You are hearby sentenced to ninety-days of just wearing frickin' underpants like everyone else, for heaven's sakes.
01. Nintety days in an actual rehabilitation facility On a serious note (sorry), Lohan clearly has problems with substances. Jail is one thing and pansy-ass celebrity Club-Med rehab is another, but real rehab is no joke -- and isn't "rehabilitation" the whole point anyway? Lohan may have a penchant for flippancy about adulthood's basic obligations, but we suspect ninety-days on lockdown with a ragged, toothless former prostitute on meth DTs might change her tune.

Hazardous waste treatment solutions for oil and gas industry
There are a wide amount of applications for our VacuDry® process within the oil and gas industry. A large variety of wastes and by-products that are generated in the oil & gas production chain can be treated effectively and sustainably. In past decades, numerous thermal desorption processes have been implemented worldwide, using a variety of heating chamber designs to separate hydrocarbons from the mineral solids. Such standard TDUs work under atmospheric pressure which can lead to safety risks, high energy consumption, larger emissions and limited flexibility regarding altering feed materials. Due to its unique design, the complications outlined above are avoided throughout the VacuDry® process. When it comes to treating standard oily wastes, mercury-containing waste streams, NORM, and especially for the recovery of highly valuable drilling fluids from drill cuttings; our vacuum thermal desorption process (i.e. vacuum distillation) is economically unbeatable.
NORM Waste Plants for Oil and Gas Industry
Natural Occurring Radioactive Material consists of materials enriched with radioactive elements found in the environment. They are usually brought to the surface by oil and gas exploration or mining. NORM wastes can be treated in a VacuDry® unit in order to prepare it for a safe sub earth disposal. Find more information, important key facts and the benefits of VacuDry® NORM waste plants on http://www.econindustries.com/applications/norm-waste
Drill Cuttings Plants For Oil and Gas Industry
Common drilling procedures for oil and gas, used widely around the world, produce a consistently increasing amount drill cuttings containing oil. In some cases, drill cuttings even contain other hazardous components such as mercury or NORM (Natural occurring Radioactive Material), requiring special attention. Treatment of drill cuttings is therefore beneficial from both an environmental and an economic standpoint, allowing valuable drilling oil to be recovered, and ensuring environmentally sound disposal of the drill cuttings. Our VacuDry technology is designed to safely separate oil, water and mercury from the solids (including NORM), allowing reuse of the oil and safe disposal of the water, mercury, solids and NORM.
Mercury Waste Plants for Oil & Gas Industry
Mercury-contaminated wastes are a major challenge for many industries including the chlorine industry, oil & gas drilling, oil & gas refineries (catalysts) and fluorescent lamps recycling. Due to strict legal restrictions and HSE requirements, mercury-contaminated waste is required to be handled with special care. We at econ industries have the best solution for each specific mercury waste stream, with plants that are recognised as being state of the art from approval authorities worldwide.

Dogs on sailboats- long question
Hi All,
Does anyone have a dog on their sailboat. If yes, how did you train the dog get around on the boat? How do you train to go on a patch of artificial turf? What about getting up & down the companionway for a larger dog (golden retreiver)? We had a golden retreiver for 12years (said goodbye to him in November). He was never on the sailboat. He was already seven when we got the boat, and we didn''t attempt to teach an "older dog new tricks". We are considering getting a new golden retreiver puppy in the Spring. We will not commit to another dog unless if fits with our short term, and long term sailing plans. Having a golden and sailing are our two passions. We are searching for advice on how feasible this might be. I do not want to make a commitment to a new dog in our life if it wouldn''t be fair to the dog. My husband & I have a sailboat on Lake Michigan (34ft C&C). We are also arranging for yacht ownership in the BVI. We plan to use our 6 weeks of sailing for the next five years. After that we plan to cruise for 6 months out of the year. Does anyone have experience in this subject matter? Any thoughts? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!

Start your puppy potty training on newspaper with astro-turf underneath. Quickly relocate the paper and astro turf outdoors when practical, then remove the newspaper and keep the dog targeted to the astro turf. On those dark and stormy nights when a ride in the dinghy to the shore is impractical the dog will ''go'' on the astro turf located on the foredeck. Always make a big squeely deal out of the procedure when the dog does it right. You CAN train older dogs to do this. ....... Companionways: if the steps are covered in a very rough non-skid patterned rubber material, the dog will get down OK, but will need a ''boost'' getting up. .... and you can train old dogs to do this, (I usually adopt older rescued english setters) just takes a little longer - all you need is patience. Keep the nails VERY short trimmed (avoids gouges in the wood work) and cut away and keep trimmed the hair that grows between the pads (minimizes slipping paws).
...... Boarding for a dinghy --- Make sure the dog has a harness when onboard... makes it easier getting into and out of the dinghy; getting in is no problem simply take some tension on the lead as the dog jumps overboard; getting out of the dink - train the dog to stand with his paws on the boat''s coaming and boost his butt when he goes aboard. Also If the dog has a harness its easier to rescue him with a boat hook if he goes overboard. Add a ''handle'' to the back of the harness. Arf Arf ;-)
Dogs on sailboats- long question
also another good thing about the green astro turf, is when you are on a longer passage & have been in rough weather for a couple of days, you can put the carpet in the shower area, or the cockpit, so you dont have to drag your poor dog out on the bow in unsafe conditions. I also have water activated strope flasher on my dogs PFD''s (puppy flotation device) in case they fall overboard @ night.
Good luck with the new little one, I wouldnt sail w/out my dogs, they are the best company around & free entertainement.
Dogs on sailboats- long question
If you are willing to do a bit of seaching, you can go back to my 6/19/01 entry that discusses my long cruise with two golden retrievers. It is quite lengthy and in two parts. The only part that is not addressed is how to get a dog to go to the bathroom on the foredeck. We got some scented puppy training pads, which may or may not have helped, but they didn''t hurt. Everyone I''ve ever talked to has said that it took 2-3 days of their dog "holding it" before they let go. Then it was easy from then out.
I would absolutely recommend taking your dog cruising unless going to British or formerly British islands. Most other places, they are welcome and can be a real pleasure to have with you.
Dogs on sailboats- long question
We have an 8 yr old Dalmation which started "boat" training while she was a puppy. She loves it, it''s like her second home. When traveling to the Bahamas a couple on years age, we bought 2 flats of grass plugs and bungeed them to the aft deck. She would wet on them, but could never get her to do #2. Anyway I have a question that someone may know. After leaving Miami on the ICW to the keys , is there a place where we can take our dog ashore before Key Largo?
Rescued English Setters
RichH, I know this is way old but I happened to be reading about trainning dogs to use turf and noticed that your reply mentioned rescued english setters. Could you give me some information on where you rescue them or find homes for them? I used to have two about 15 years ago and they were wonderful dogs. They are quite hard to find in Oregon and I would be interested in possibly adopting one sometime.
onewind...welcome aboard...note this thread dates to 2002 and the posters are no longer here.
Pet adoption: Want a dog or cat? Adopt a pet on Petfinder
I just searched Dog, English Setter, OR and 4 came up. We found our dog through this site. Have you adopted before?
Sailboat dogs
I realize this thread is older however I wanted to leave a post anyway.*
I cruised for 2 years straight with 2 children, 2 golden retrievers, and a rescued cat. We lived aboard a 35' Coronado with a center cockpit. My children still talk about it being the best two years of their lives.*
As for the dogs, I can think of no better situation for them. They swam daily, twice. actually. They played on islands with other cruising dogs. They were also working dogs with a job, which was Anchor Watch, which they took very seriously. Once at 3AM, *when 2 men attempted to board us while we lay sleeping at anchor. *The dogs alerted me with enough time to reach for, and engage my 12 gauge shot gun. Who knows what would have happened had the dogs not been there?
There are a few little accommodations one must make when having a canine companion animal aboard. I'm a big fan of the AstroTurf method for potty-ing while under weigh. I also believe a good system for reboarding in case of accidental overboard is a must!! *I have a great way to accomplish this for both sailing dogs and cats.*
Currently we are re-fitting a 32' Endeavor for another cruise through the islands. We plan to leave the US early spring of 2011, with hopes of being below the 11th parallel before hurricaine season. This time we will be traveling with one of the previous Golden Retrievers and a Shihtzu. *(who thinks he is a retriever as well. * Shhhhhhhh don't tell him !!)
Our dogs have started a blog, and are detailing the trip from their point of view. I invite you to read along, as we make the big island circuit once again! *Here is the website: *please sign up to follow, leave comments, or whatever.. We would love to meet check it out at sailboatdog dot com.*** See you there!

tea storage
New tea drinker here and I purchased several (a lot) sample tins. Since I have purchased so many, I am wondering the best way to store them during use, in the fridge or just out on the countertop?

Also, just like with coffee in the freezer, the fridge is a high-moisture environment that can destroy tea. Even if your containers are completely airtight (and not all of adagio's tins are; although I've never had a sample-sized tin, myself), if you've ever seen condensation on a window, you know that moisture is going to find a way into your tea.
Simple fact is, getting moisture into your tea while storing it is NOT GOOD.

I agree with Andy and Studio271. Moisture will kill the tea and it'll pick up "fridge smell." I keep my sample tins in these stackable mesh bins, on a small shelf in my kitchen. Works perfectly well for me!

Day 3: Sleeping Bug | #30DaysofBiking
Took The Bug out for a spin so we could check out a cool playground. Problem was, when we got there she was already asleep. So just like the old days (before it rightfully became a heinous gas-guzzling crime against nature), I "drove" around so she could sleep.

|Re: Rollback in Tomcat7 under parallel deployment
|Mon, 31 Oct 2011 03:38:34 GMT
Hi Chris, But how would it cause an outage? ROOT##003 would not necessarily be copied from the file ROOT##001.war It'll be a separate deployment, but just using the same build that got deployed as ROOT##001. Whether ROOT##001 is marked for undeployment should not make a difference to ROOT##003. They will "own" different sessions.

Hi, Can anyone share their experience on running DRLVM built from SVN? On my workstations, it requires several fixes in order to run properly: HARMONY-898 'workaround to get correct hythr.dll' (both for Linux and Windows) HARMONY-853 'DRLVM+classlib segfaults in hyzlib' (on Linux) Without HARMONY-898, DRLVM segfaults after reading NULL from TLS. Without HARMONY-853, DRLVM segfaults in libhyzlib.so on Linux. I would suggest that the patches from HARMONY-898 and HARMONY-853 be applied, because DRLVM doesn't work at all for me without these fixes. Any other experiences? Is anyone besides me running DRLVM from SVN? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Terms of use : http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/mailing.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

Portland, Maine — What's inside the four-story structure that was towed into Portland Harbor on Oct. 11 and how it eventually will be used remain a mystery, but some clues have emerged.
The structure itself isn't hidden away. It's still on the barge that hauled it into Portland, docked at the Rickers Wharf Marine Facility, where Cianbro Corp. is scheduled to do a significant amount of interior work on it, including the installation of undisclosed technological equipment.
Even workers on the project aren't being told about the structure's purpose or the identity of its owner. That's known by only a few Cianbro executives, said Peter Vigue, chairman and CEO of Cianbro. The company has signed a nondisclosure agreement with its customer, which has made secrecy a priority, he said.
"We are absolutely forbidden to discuss it in any way or in any detail," Vigue said.
The Coast Guard doesn't know what it is, said a staffer at the base in South Portland. The Portland Harbor Commission hasn't been told, either.
So far, no one has figured it out, said Tom Dobbins, chairman of the commission.
"Curiosity has gotten to me," he said. "I've got my spies out, but they aren't doing anything for me."
The structure's exterior was built in New London, Conn. Its final destination could be anywhere the barge can carry it.
Some have speculated that the structure is related to Exxon's $14 billion project to develop the Hebron oil fields off Newfoundland. Not so, say Exxon officials, who were shown photographs of the mystery structure and denied any involvement.
Others have speculated that it is a floating hotel for people building oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. The top three floors appear to be divided into 196 rooms — with no windows.
The customer could be the U.S. military or the Department of Homeland Security, which would explain the secrecy, said Jeff Monroe, Portland's former port director, who now works as a transportation consultant.
"In the name of security, the government can do a lot of things and keep them quiet," Monroe said.
He said the structure could be a power plant or perhaps a "barracks barge," providing housing for sailors before they are assigned to their ships.
Any good mystery needs some kind of clue, and Vigue provided one: "Be assured this is a good thing for Maine," he said. "It will benefit not only our company, but our state as well."
When asked whether the building's final destination is Maine, Vigue said "No."
One project that would be good for Maine, but not actually in Maine: In 2009, the search engine giant Google received a patent for a proposed floating data center that uses the ocean to provide power and cooling.
According to Google's patent application, a fleet of data centers would float 3 to 7 miles offshore in water 165 to 230 feet deep. They would use ocean water for cooling and wave-energy machines to create electricity.
Anchored off the coast of Maine, Google wouldn't have to buy any land or pay property taxes.
Google could not be reached late Tuesday to discuss that theory.
After Cianbro finishes its work, the barge will leave Portland Harbor and the public will be able to follow its journey on commercial websites that use global positioning system data, said Dobbins, of the harbor commission.
He said the structure's owner would try to keep the secret as long as possible, but eventually the truth would emerge when the vessel reaches its destination.
"Who knows where it ends up?" he said.

Since 2007-10-27 my love starts: Anime :D
New adventure:
My first Anime was Green Green :D
I am lucky (or should I say cursed...) to have 2 sources of Anime...
Oh well, well.... recently I've get to know more and more about Otaku here in Poland and Anime industry but still in my region I can't see any sings of popularity... ehh
What should I say more... hmm
Oh yes, since october '07 I study technical physics on:
AGH - University of Science and Technology
It's became really busy and I've lots of new stuff to study... Because of this I don't have enough time to watch my favorite Anime :( Well it is good since I've pretty much watched everything my sources have to offer... But still... there are many series on my want to watch list so I'll never give up!
UPDATE my hard drive is full!!! and no time at all to watch... what should I do... life is so unfair...
PS I'm waiting for you... Shana III.... When they finally announce green light for you... Another one to look forward to: Hatsukoi Limited
8,098 total episodes
Maido :3
So, hows the world progressing at your end ?
I need to recommend Detroit Metal City to you. Its terribly funny in its own way and I think you might like it. (or hate it :o)
:O:O:O May I say sth like HOLY SHIT THE LAST INDEX ep. WAS JUST AMAZIIIING^^, if u ask me the best one till know...
First of all... the "fight" against index was just :O:O, I thought Touma's hand cracked or sth, just :O:O:O, and then...:'( Touma's memory destruction NAAANDE. Well...what followed was in a way even better than Code Geass, THAT many turns^^ I thought I would die from shock:P, first he doesn't remember anything:'(, then he seems to know Index (yay, but lil bastard deceiving a lil girl like her) and in the end... he REALLY forgot her (back to :'(...^^), just really sad, what's going to happen now... I don't think he'll get his memory back, so he just should get to know Index once again^^.
Well... then there was the new ep Akane-iro, I somehow liked it, though the incest aspect still appeard, and at this point I think we'll have to live with it (NOOO... she can't copy Kaede^^), unfortunately, and on top of that there wasn't much development (well, NO development^^) between our couple:(, just a filler ep and still, it wasn't too bad, but in comparison to the former ep., kinda bad...
Till know I didn't watch Kannagi 6 (well, just now I have to recover my laptop:((, so it may take some time^^), but I'll make sure to tell you how I liked it...
THENNN... there was the AMAZING ep. from ef, if u ask me, the best ep. till now, the LONGED-FOR encounter between Chihiro and Kei and in the end the line from Nagi "Because I date him":O:O:O, just PERFECT, if u ask me^^
Then there was the 2nd part of the Clannad side-rommance, and I have to admit... I REALLY LOVED it, habbü end still unhabbüü end;), the perfect amount of drama and rommance (and ofc happiness^^), well, I think I don't need to say more;)
Well then... I'm looking forward to your answer;)
Originally Cfos meant crazyfrogonski (my msn-adr., cuz crazy frog was already used (grrr, lil bastard, using MY name^^), I had to find another one, and it somehow cam to this^^), but after I started watching anime, I just changed it to crazy frog otaku style (isn't too bad in my opinion^^) and that's the story^^.
I finished Tokyo Underground and it's JUST as you said, the end wasn't really satisfying, will they be able to come out (or just die *hahahaha* after I watched Code Geass, I think ANYTHING is possible^^), but the actual anime wasn't bad, really, I enjoyed it^^ though it was old-school (well... 2002^^)
After I ready your stuff bout "bad fanservice" I had to laugh for ages, even now^^
I wanted to watch Kannagi before I write this comment, but unfortunately (due to an unexpected msn "storm" I wasn't able to^^), but at least I watched Chaos;Head^^, and you're right, I think they should be a bit faster (though the first few min. were quite fast, but then... *deeeeadddddddd*^^), he should find his sword and then BAAATTTTLLLEEEEEEEEE, hope they'll be faster, cuz I don't hope they make this anime unneeded long or rush the end^^, but if he finds his sword in the next ep., I think/hope the TRUE Chaos;Head will start^^. But even if it's slow, I realy liked the ep. (Just HOW crazy can an otaku become, will he be able to surpass his otakuness^^) and I'm expecting sth from the next ep.
I think... I wrote everything I wanted^^...
Yo, 2 questions: First one, may I call you god, or kami-sama, whichever you prefer;), after your comment I don't feel the need to write anything back, everything is EXACTLY as you said in my opinion^^, Second question...is it possible to write more than once "You Rock!" on top of the comment *hahahaha*^^
Well, even if there's no need, I'll still write something^^
To Akane-iro, you're ABSOLUTELY right bout the incest-part, though I think I'll rate this show a bit better than you, after all rommance is my fav genre, and I got high expectations for the future (though I'm not sure if the end'll be good^^)
To be honest, I didn't watch the new Chao;Head ep. yet, just now I'm REALLY into Tokyo Underground-->I'll watch Chaos;Head tomorrow and then I'll be sure to tell you my opinion;)
Then Clannad, there are many opinions bout this side rommance, but I ABSOLUTELY share your opinion, it's a REALLY good idea and I'm kinda curios bout the next ep.
I think I don't need to say anything to ef, it's just getting better and better (would it be eternally good if there are eternal ep.^^) and I think I'll make it my #1.
Now to Rosario to Vampire 2, I already dropped it without watching ep. 5;), season 1 was kinda nice, but now, it's ONLY senseless fanservice:'(
The stuff you wrote bout To Aru Majutsu no Index, was AMAZING too, like you may guess, I got the SAME opinion, and the current turn REALLY surprised me in a positive manner;)
You're right bout Toradore, but to be honest, shows with not THAT fast progress aren't bad too, I rated many of this kind quite high. (Lucky Star, Nagasarete Airantou etc.)
Then you wrote bout Yozakura Quartet, and it seems that you like this show quite much and I think that's the only difference in our opinion bout anime (well, it would be creepy if we got the same opinion bout EVERY anime^^). I think this show is not too bad, but well, something is missing, so it can't satisfy me the way I thought it would^^.
AAAAAND, I think I came to like Ga-Rei Zero more than before, the story is progressing at slow pace (but now there is a story^^) and I just luv the OP. Currently I would rate it 3,5-4 stars, though even now I think the producers did some things quite unique, what is confusing me from time to time;)
Now... Which comment is longer^^, *hehehehe*, and I'm really amazed bout your long comment;) Fight o....
You saw the new ep. from Akane-iro? Though there were some parts I didn't really like, the development between the 2 is progressing and I think/hope the "real" story is going to start now. I think this ep. as one of the best ones till now.
Then bout Clannad, I REALLY liked the last ep. think it will be my fav one (till now)^^ and ef si getting better and better, I'm really amazed. Unfortunately the new Chaos;Head ep. wasn't released yet (at least I can't find it^^)...
