Ann Etta D. (Survey Review)
"I visited Windmill Animal Hospital for the first time recently. There were positives and negatives. On the negative side, we waited in the waiting room and then in a room for an extremely long time before being seen by the vet; our total visit time from start to finish was about an hour and a half. The vet tech did not greet us in a friendly manner and didn't even say hello to my animal or try to make us feel welcome. Since I saw customers before us being greeted quite cheerily, this was a big disappointment. Once we started talking though, the tech became more friendly and we got along just fine. On the positive side, I feel like we received the care and treatment needed for our problem and felt like they explained & answered questions to our satisfaction. "

Reply from Windmill: Thank you for the review of your first visit to the Windmill. We want each and every visit to be as positive as possible for our clients and patients. We keep an incredible amount of data about each and every visit, and the situations that develop that can put our appointment times behind. When we do get behind because of an emergency, or one of our patients needing more time than we had originally estimated, we tell our waiting clients and call our upcoming clients to inform them of the situation. Unfortunately, because of the "anonymous" signature, we have no way to research your experience, nor to find out what happened, so that we might make further refinements to our clients' experience. Again, thank you for the review, and we pledge to do our very best each and every time you entrust us with the care of your precious pets.

"I just moved here from Dallas and needed to find a new vet for my Shiba Meiko. I had an awesome vet back home that had great prices and a great staff so I expected the same! THIS IS THE BEST DECISION I MADE coming to windmill animal hospital. They all are very friendly, the doctor is a very nice lady who actually speaks to you when she comes in and leaves and their prices are reasonable. They helped me take care of everything needed!! I'm glad I found a new vet for Meiko, with a staff who treats their clients with so much respect."

"Recently I brought mine and my husband's boys to stay in your hospital over night since I had a doctors appointment in Dallas. We can't begin to tell you all who took care of our Chihuahua's Little Dog and Gus how very much we appreciated the attention and care that you all gave both of them. We couldn't have children, so these are our children, our boys. Thank you so very much for realizing what they mean to us, and how very much we worry about them when we are gone. The texting was Awesome to find out how they were doing. I must say that the way I was treated the day before, and then was made an appointment to bring the boys in to see the place, and to get to know everyone was the most personable experience I have ever had at any veterinarian hospital. The girls up front made me feel so special, and really seemed to know how important it was to me that our boys be treated with lots of love, and they were taken to potty as often as I asked, and the water was used that I brought because they put it back in the carry case I had brought with me. That was so much appreciated, it just shows your hearts are in the right places for these little guys and for their parents as well. Amy took her time showing me the place and explaining everything in detail, and her gentle kind ways were so much appreciated. Please never change your policies or your caring ways, and you all will become the best veterinarian hospital any where around. God Bless You All for taking such good care of our boys. We will definitely be back because of the care and the professionalism, and love you all have to give. And also it really does smell good too! Thanks again from the bottom of our hearts to you all. "

"My parents dog Shadow, a very overweight but equally precious dachshund, is doing so much better since his visit to Windmill Animal Hospital. Dad was pretty nervous about taking him cause Shadow is his baby ...but he was due his vaccines so it was a necessity. Come to find out no need to fear he's not suffering from any disease other than maybe just being "a little" overly spoiled. The staff and doctors there so great. If you live in Abilene and have animals there is no other place you should take them for their vet care. :)"

"I was very impressed with the staff at Windmill. I just started using them and had only had one visit to get my dog her shots. Then our precious baby girl got pregnant and I can't say enough about how the staff and doctors were extremely helpful through the entire process. Including me calling several times just to ask questions. And then the day came for birth. Being new at this I called several times and ended up having to have an emergency c-section for her. The staff is very knowledgeable and caring and made us feel comfortable going through the entire process. I would highly recommend them to anyone!"

"We took our small poodle mix, Squirt, today, April 4, 2013, for the first time to the Windmill Animal Hospital for a lst time exam. Squirt is 2 1/2 yrs old and we switched to this hospital and we are so glad we did! We saw their TV advertisemen and the entire staff looked friendly and the entire staff looked to be friendly & a caring group which was proven to be true today at our visit. The hospital was so clean and yes, it 'smelled good' as the TV ad pointed out. The staff were very professional and they made us feel as a part of the Windmill Animal Hospital family. We highly recommend this hospital. Thank you! "

Chad C. (Survey Review)
"I admit the prices aren't very competitive but the facility is always extremely clean, never smells like a pound and is top of the line. The vets are extremely helpful and willing to educate their clients. The techs are very friendly and knowledgable. As far as prices they don't blind side you with them and my estimates have always been fairly accurate. The clinic also provides military discounts, which helps. The front office staff has always been courteous and helpful. The only criticism that I could possibly say is that one of the front staff appears to be afraid of certain breeds because of a past experience, I respect that but if this makes her uncomfortable enough to express herself as that then she needs to address it with staff and not clients. However I wouldn't trust another vet in town with my pets over windmill. They truly are the best. Worth every penny and all my praise and recommendations. "

I have a huge Alaskan Malamute and barks at every dog so they hurried me thorugh and gave us a treatment room. Super clean and humanized for your pet.

"Rollie was thought to have a breathing problem when he went o Windmill for grooming, an attempt at which failed at PetSmart only a month earlier from which Rollie returned home with only his upper half cut. Due to a pre-exam by the Windmill staff and, I suspect, kind and conscientious handling on the part of the groomer, Rollie came back properly groomed, relaxed and calm. During a pre-exam the vet had approved a sedation if he became excited before the grooming, due to professional handling, this was not necessary. Thank You for an excellent and professional visit. In Rollie's case it provided extra comfort knowing that a vet was on site at the grooming facility."

When I brought them to Windmill they calmed down almost immediately. My pushy dog was wagging her tail and my whiney one curled up and took a nap! This is unheard of for my 4-leggers! The staff was wonderful and very patient! They took a lot of time going through records to verify my animals had all the right shots (age appropriate and so forth), the best heartworm, flea & tick meds, and food options. I am very impressed! When I paid somehow I paid for my puppy's heartworm meds and walked out without it. Not sure what happened...I almost didn't call, but when I did they were very friendly and let me know I could come get it anytime! Being military we have had to establish new vets every move. I have to say so far this was the smoothest and most through transfer yet. Finally, I feel like someone is there for my pets and now this pet mom can relax!"

"Dr. Price is a true professional, up to date on the latest procedures for caring for our four-legged family members. The staff is friendly, courteous, and experienced. Kimberly, the receptionist, always offers a sincere smile as a warm welcome. It is a true pleasure taking our two dogs to visit Windmill Animal Hospital. Thank you, Dr. Price, for choosing Abilene and for hiring the best staff in town. "

"Took Willie, my St Bernard, to get a good bath and hair cut yesterday. He looks GREAT! They did an amazing job, he looks, smells, and feels wonderful. Not only do I think the groomers did an amazing job, but I absolutely love the staff! They are great at customer service and satisfaction! I'm very glad to have found them when we moved here. "

"I'm extremely impressed by the service from WINDMILL ANIMAL HOSPITAL! Even before I took my little cat, Annie, in there, I already could tell from the media that this is the clinic where I wanted to bring her and my big cat, Asia. Now that I recently moved back to Abilene and had sought a new veterinarian for my feline family, Windmill appeared at the top of the list online and was the only one that I noticed had perfect ratings and 100% positive reviews. Then I came across a couple of commercials on TV and visited the website. When I called to inquire, Amy, who answered the phone, was very polite, as opposed to staff from other places that I called. After I requested an appointment online last night, I received a phone call from another nice staff member first thing this morning and was able to set one up right away, and from the moment I stepped inside to the moment I left, we had a very pleasant experience from the front desk staff and the providers. Linda, the vet tech, really touched my heart by being very gentle with Annie - who tends to be a "scaredy cat" around people in general - and talking about establishing a "relationship" with her! Dr. Price - who wore her AAHA (American Animal Hospital Association) pin to support their accreditation, which I don't typically see with other vets - also treated Annie with the same gentleness and warm kindness including calling her "baby cakes", and she relieved any uncertainty that I may have had because she explained everything thoroughly to me, from everything that she was doing at the moment to everything that would be involved in the treatment of both of my cats. Asia - who has had medical issues lately - has yet to visit Windmill, but due to Dr. Price's description of her upcoming treatment that includes state-of-the art technology, I rest assured that she will be in good hands. So, in a nutshell, I'd like to acknowledge that I couldn't agree more with the acclaim that Windmill THE BEST PET CARE ANYWHERE ~ as the health care staff takes pride in providing my kitty and their other animal clients with Tender Loving Care, treating them as VIPs (Very Important Patients or Very Important Pets) =D "

Ellen S. - Abilene (Survey Review)
"We moved to Abilene recently and not knowing where to take our dogs for good quality care certainly added to our stress. After researching online reviews, Windmill Animal Hospital outrated all the others, so we chose to give them a try. We now understand why they had 100% positive ratings. The facilities are absolutely premium, but what impressed us the most was the staff. We have two Schnauzers, one has heart issues, so finding the best care facility was very important to us. Dr. Price's credentials, knowledge, professionalism and great personality to boot, was exactly what we were looking for in a veterinarian. Her staff is also very accomodating and professional as well. Comparing our previous experiences with vets in other cities, we can honestly say that Abilene is extremely fortunate to have this level of expertise and care available for their beloved pets. Can't wait to take advantage of their in-house grooming services. It's the complete package in one place."

After wiping him repeatedly for days we realized that this was not a result of something that he had eaten. We took Joey to Windmill Animal hospital where Dr price was able to diagnose the problem immediately. Her vast knowledge as a veterinarian has been a tremendous relief for us and our dogs. Joey is on his way to a full recovery. Thank you once again for your loving care of our family pets. "

From their "pre-boarding" visit (which, because we were in a last minute travel situation - they were flexible, explaining the goal of the "pre-boarding" visit is to ensure our family, including our dog, was happy and comfortable - but that they would work with us however we needed to accomodate our unexpected travel), to the clean & modern facilities, to the time & care given when explaining the latest options in medicine for our dog - all was top notch....and frankly, a level of care that is what I hope will become a new standard....we are so pleased!

We arrived at the office totally expecting to not be taking our dog home w/ us. The staff we dealt w/ helped calm us down, explained everything in great detail & treated us like old friends. I can honestly say, I've never had a better vet experience. The office is clean & doesn't have the typical vet office smell. It was clear to me the staff is not there just doing a job, they truly care about animals & want to do anything & everything they can to provide a good experience for you & your pet.

She did a lovely job, not only with the cut but with Claire herself. Unlike past visits to other groomers, after we returned home, there was no growling at the carrier and no growling when being petted near her tail. I'm now an official Kameron fan, and am planning to transfer Claire's records to Windmill where all the staff I met seemed to truly care about the animals entrusted to their care. "

Can't believe xmas is in 1 month!!! doesn't really feel that it has been the whole year!
End of the year is surely one of the most hectic time for many people - well not much for me as I am not working :) For me I prepare the gifts early and most of the time finish up the bits and pieces by purchasing online.
Just been selling some macarons to colleagues of brother-in-law. this is the second week and I am making the 3rd and 4th batch. God knows what was wrong in my first and second batch last week - everything was cracked, flat or no feet - feel like that particular day I was having a macaron curse. I finally gave up and tried the day after and it went well... i think there's certainly a macaron curse day!!
Up for this last MacTweet entry for the year, I might have more entry coming soon as I am baking up for xmas order.
This is a recipe which is in my new book : Macaron Fetish - C'est la Fête (It's Party Time). It's actually a macaron fetish based on special occasions and holiday theme. I am including some pages for a sneak peak at the end of the post. Mean while I hope you like my Snowman Xmas Macaron!
For the 6 Snowman shell
1. 40g egg white
2. 30g almond powder
3. 50g icing sugar
4. 30g castor sugar
5. 1/2 tsp white food colouring
6. 1/4 tsp blue food colouring (optional - unless you are looking for BLUE LIPS FUN)
7. icing colouring pen (to draw the eyes, hands and nose)
1. In a blender, mix up the almond powder, icing sugar,and white food colouring, sieve it and set aside.
2.Beat the egg white until frothy, add in half of the castor sugar, keep beating till you get a soft peak and then add in the rest of the sugar. Beat to stiff peak.
3. Add the blended dry ingredients to the stiff egg white.
4. Keep folding until you get a mixture that flow slowly like lava. This should take about 50 folds. The mixture should be uniformed, shiny and when lifted it should flow down and form a thick ribbon. Scoop out 2 tablespoons of the mixture in an extra bowl, add in blue colouring, mix well and set aside.
5. Put a piece of baking sheet over a baking tray, pipe a small circle about 2 cm, a the bottom of the small circle, pipe another circle of 3-4cm. Repeat until all mixture is used up. Using a fine stick ( I used chopstick ) dip in the blue mixture prepared earlier, then drag over between 2 circles to make the scarf.
6. Let the macaron sit until a skin is formed and it's no longer stick to the fingers when touched. Depending on your room temperature, and air humidity this should takes somewhere between 30 minutes to 1 hour.
7. Pre-heat the oven on 150 C with top heating.
8. When the oven is heated up, put in the piped macarons. Increase to 160 C and continue baking for about 4-5 minutes, be sure to work with your oven and you might need a few test to know how much your oven heats up. The feet should already be forming after 4-5mins. Decrease the temperature to 150C, open the oven door quickly to allow hot air to escape. bake for another 6-8 minutes until the shells are baked.
9. To know if your macarons are baked, you could try it by gently touching the shells, when it's baked it should no longer slide against the feet.
10. If the macaron shells are not well baked, extend the baking time by 1 minutes and recheck.
11. Let macaron cooled before removing them from the baking sheet. You could speed up the process by lightly wetting your working area with a sponge and drag the baking sheets over.
12. Match up all the similar size shells, draw the hands, nose and eyes. Get the ready for filling.

Let's Get "Lei'd"by Kuki, CruiseMates Cruise Director
|Let's Get "Lei'd" Article - Part 1 Let's Get "Lei'd" Article - Part 2 Let's Get "Lei'd" Article - Part 3 Let's Get "Lei'd" Article - Part 4
Last night's dinner in the Summit's alternate (and additional surcharge) dining room was a culinary and social delight. I reserved two tables of six, and we arrived to find two more tables of CruiseMates friends enjoying the experience of the Normandie.
The dinner lasted more than three hours, but we had such a wonderful time, we didn't notice the minutes passing. Food and service in the Normandie were both superb--just as I had experienced on an earlier sailing in the Millennium's Olympic restaurant.
Friday morning we awoke in a partly cloudy (but hot) Kona, where I had booked yet another golf game at the Waikoloa Beach Resort. It's about a half-hour ride from the pier, but it has a very pretty layout. The "girls" used the resort facilities while we golfed.
I've enjoyed running into our CruiseMates group members as we move around the ship. There's been lots of stopping for conversation, or just friendly waves across a room, giving the ship a neighborhood feel.
Saturday morning we stopped in Hilo, where I had reserved a vehicle for a drive to Volcanoes National Park. However, it was raining when we were to head out, so we decided to pass on the road trip and just go into town for some shopping. We later talked to people who went ahead with their scheduled excursions, or helicopter tours, or bus trips, and despite the weather, everyone seemed to have a great time.
As the ship left Hilo, it seemed there was a collective sigh. Everyone was looking forward to the next five days at sea en route to Vancouver--ready to relax, party and have fun. On this night the ship seemed livelier. Maybe because for the first time since the cruise began, no one would have to wake up early, other than the staff.
This was really the Summit's first taste of the CruiseMates "Let's Get Lei'd" group together in public. It appears Celebrity's image of reserved elegance may be put in some jeopardy over the next few days.

Saturn's six-sided cloud pattern gets a close look
New images show particles in the planet's hexagonally shaped jet stream
Hampton University, SSI, JPL-Caltech/NASA
Saturn's strange six-sided cloud pattern has gotten its day in the sun.
NASA's Cassini spacecraft snapped the highest-resolution images to date of the planet's hexagonal jet stream, which fuels swirling, cloudy storms at the planet's north pole. Because of recent changes in Saturn's tilt that allowed the sun to shine on the region, astronomers were able to get a better view and understanding of the roughly 30,000-kilometer-wide cloud structure.
Using colored filters, the Cassini team identified large particles, shown in pink, swirling in the planet's lower atmosphere. Large particles at higher altitudes appear green, and tiny particles higher in the atmosphere appear blue. Those tiny particles define the sharp boundary of the hexagonal jet stream.
While the geometric shape of Saturn's jet stream seems odd, its existence is not. Earth's jet stream also forms cloud swirls around the North Pole. However, "Earth is

I'm a bit ice cream crazy right now. Not that I really needed to point out something that's out there for the world to see, both here on the blog and on my twitter feed. I blame it all on summer, and on that David Lebovitz. It's his new book, The Perfect Scoop, that's got everything churning, eating and talking ice cream! If you haven't got it yet, I'd get one, immediately. His recipe for Malted Milk Ice Cream -which my friend The Amateur Gourmet Adam loved so much he composed a song about it on his blog- is what's on my dessert menu this weekend.
Ice cream is not, however, my only infatuation of the moment. I've also gone mad about brown butter. For this I blame Jeffrey Steigarten and his brown butter article in Vogue a month or two ago. (It doesn't appear to be online so I couldn't link to it, sorry.) In it, Jeffrey not only sang praises, no, composed odes, to brown butter. He also gave an ingenious cookie recipe from a friend in Thailand, which I'm going to try very soon.
The French name of brown butter, beurre noisette, came from the wonderful hazelnut aroma that develops after the butter has been melted and cooked until golden brown. It adds such an intense aroma and wonderful flavor to pretty much anything. Most of the flavor in brown butter comes from caramelized fat solids, the brown bits floating in the sea of golden butter. Though most refined French recipe calls for straining the brown butter before use, I find that if the brown butter is cooked correctly, that is to say it's not overly burnt, it's actually better to leave the brown solids in it. (Michael Ruhlman did a thorough piece on brown butter a while back, go there if you need more information on this.)
My brown butter ice cream recipe is a result of an experiment. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to call it a quest: one to see how much brown butter I can get away with adding into a pretty classic, basic ice cream base recipe. I want my brown butter ice cream to actually taste like brown butter, not just hinting at it. I also don't want any other flavoring that would interfere with the pure flavor of brown butter, so you won't find gratuitous vanilla or brown sugar or anything of the sort here. It's just ice cream base and brown butter. The amount I ended up with is the ratio of 1:3 butter to other dairy, that is to say, a @#$% load. (Yes, that is a technical term.)
How do I go about blending 8oz of liquid fat into an ice cream base? With a blender. Yes, your regular old blender. It does the work for you with no sweat at all. The result? Smooth, creamy ice cream that is unmistakably brown butter-y. So easy I can say it's almost fool-proof. Try it and you'll see how beautifully it works. This method has been working so well I'm now fantasizing about how to use all kinds of other liquid fat in my ice cream. That olive oil gelato, like the one I love so much at Otto, might just be next.

Let's say I hook two capacitor in a parallel circuit with a voltage source. Would the capacitor closer to the battery be charged up first? Because when the voltage excites and draws electrons from the plates, the electrons doesn't know where to go, so it goes through the first path it sees (i.e. the first capacitor) and it builds the plate of the first capacitor until it is done and then builds the next capacitor that follows?
Or would it start to build the first one first and then "evenly" builds charges on both capacitors because some of the electrons are actually getting repelled from the first plate of the first capacitor?

Marine takes charge at Southcom, praises Colombian peace efforts
With the blessings of the two senior Pentagon officials, Marine Corps Gen. John F. Kelly took charge of the Southern Command on Monday, then swiftly praised peace talks between Colombia and rebels as better than open warfare.
"Just the fact that they're talking is a monumental indication of hope, I think," Kelly told reporters within minutes of taking over at Southcom headquarters in Doral. "Anytime people are talking and not trying to kill each other, fight each other, is a good thing."
The peace talks are being held in Havana following last month's ceremonial start in Oslo, and Colombia's main rebel group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), announced a unilateral ceasefire as a goodwill gesture.
The general was more circumspect in his reply to a question of whether he would see the United States establish relations with the Cuban military or see the prison camps closed at Guantánamo during his tenure here, which could last two or three years.
"That's way, way, way, way above my pay grade," said Kelly, noting he was awaiting specifics "of what the president and others" would ask of him.
Policy decisions are made in Washington, then put into action by the outpost here — a campus-style office complex where military planners, intelligence analysts and agents of other federal agencies oversee and coordinate U.S. military activities in Latin America and the Caribbean.
The pay-grade remark, deflecting decision-making upward, is classic military-speak. But it was a bit ironic for Kelly, who just that day pinned on the fourth star of a full general officer — the most senior rank currently attainable in the U.S. military.
Kelly's military career has actually spanned the ranks, or pay grades as they are called in the service — starting when he enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1970. He left as a sergeant in 1972, went to college and then was commissioned as an infantry officer.
Kelly, 62, has commanded troops in Iraq, seen his two sons follow in his footsteps to the Corps, and lost one in warfare in Afghanistan. He most recently served as Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta's trusted senior military advisor.
Panetta praised Kelly as "the true embodiment of a citizen warrior — compassionate, caring and tough" during a quick stop Monday afternoon in South Florida.
Panetta presided and Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, also said a few words during the hour-long ceremony that featured a flyover by F-16s from the Homestead Air Reserve Base and a new take on the traditional handover of authority: The retiring Southcom chief, Air Force Gen. Douglas Fraser, pointedly passed control of the commander's Blackberry to Kelly in the midst of the speech-making.
Fraser ended his 37-year military career as Southcom commander, a job he assumed in June 2009, six months before the event that Panetta called the most significant of his career here: Haiti's devastating Jan. 12, 2010, earthquake, which required a massive U.S. government and international relief effort that was coordinated by Southcom.
It has not been unusual during Southcom's decade-plus stay in South Florida for a secretary of defense to preside at a change of command. Donald Rumsfeld came to swear in both Army Gen. Bantz Craddock and Navy Adm. James Stavridis when they took charge of Southcom. Both had been Rumsfeld aides.
But Panetta spoke with a fondness toward Kelly that was noteworthy for both its humor and intimacy after a week of uncomfortable news developments surrounding the infidelity of departed CIA director and retired Army Gen. David Petraeus and an ongoing investigation of another active-duty general's behavior at the military's Central Command in Tampa.
"There are few that you'd like to share a foxhole with, and John Kelly is one of those," Panetta told an audience of about 300 community and military members.
"He's always watched my back. And he's always watched my glass," said Panetta, indicating they have shared end-of-workday drinks together.
Kelly, for his part, kept his comments short, singled out for thanks a disabled veteran in the audience then ended the event with the two words that made clear a Marine was back in charge at Southcom: " Semper Fidelis."

The Party of Less Work
The Democrats once styled themselves the party of workers. Now, they are the party of people who would have been workers, if it hadn't been for Obamacare.
The Congressional Budget Office released a new analysis of the economic effects of the health care law on Tuesday that estimates that it will reduce the number of workers, in effect, by 2.5 million in 2024.
Story Continued Below
This unleashed a torrent of arguments from the Democrats implicitly denigrating the value of work. Perhaps not since Southern fire-eaters attacked Northern "wage slavery" in the mid-19th century has a good honest day's work been talked about so dismissively. It turns out that discouraging work is just another one of the wonders of Obamacare.
The old jobs crisis was people not having jobs; the new jobs crisis is people having to work. The party devoted to combating inequality is now blithely unconcerned about a law discouraging people — especially people down the income scale — from earning more. So much for its championing of economic mobility.
White House press secretary Jay Carney declared the CBO report a validation of the law: "At the beginning of this year, we noted that as part of this new day in health care, Americans would no longer be trapped in a job just to provide coverage for their families and would have the opportunity to pursue their dreams. This CBO report bears that out."
If only the number of people effectively dissuaded from working were 5 million, or 7.5 million, the health care law would be an even more stunning triumph of sound public policy and true American values.
A few caveats are in order: We aren't talking about jobs that are eliminated in the usual sense of discouraging employers from hiring, as some Republican talking points suggested. That would be the demand side for labor; this is the supply side. And the 2.5 million number isn't for jobs per se, but for "full-time equivalent" positions, i.e., the cumulative lost hours of millions of people deciding to work less.
Nonetheless, the number is devastating. Democrats like Jay Carney want to pass it all off as ending the "job lock" that keeps people in a job only to preserve their health insurance. This is what Nancy Pelosi was getting at when she airily described Obamacare before its passage as "an entrepreneurial bill, a bill that says to someone, if you want to be creative and be a musician or whatever, you can leave your work, focus on your talent, your skill, your passion."

+48-887050502Montag - Freitag: 9.00 - 19.00
I've always enjoyed travelling so when a friend suggested going to Cracow for a week, I thought, why not? Unfortunately, three weeks before our holiday I started getting terrible toothache. I was able to get a consultation the week after, I needed root canal treatment on one tooth, but my dentist had no time on his schedule to treat me for a couple of weeks. As I didn't want to be in pain on my holiday I started looking for alternatives...
I'm very happy with the treatment I got recently at Dentestetica. I needed a bridge on the left side quite near the front. I work as a sales rep and I meet people every day so it can be a bit embarrassing when I talk. Money's tight at the moment so I couldn't afford the treatment I needed. Somebody at work suggested looking abroad and I'm glad I did. The staff at Dentestetica were fantastic and I got a bridge with 3 crowns for a fraction of the price. Cracow is a great city, not at all like I imagined it to be.
I can only say thank you very much to all the people at DENtestetica in Krakow! They did a fantastic work and were absolute fantastic, nice and helpful during my 2 stays in July and December :))))
I'm a student in my last year of studying drama and I know how important it is to look good. I had a few problems with my teeth in the past after a sports injury and I'd been dreaming about getting veneers for my front teeth, which I felt quite embarrassed about. I did some research but it was just too expensive. I work part-time in a restaurant and I was telling my friend Kasia about my problem. She told me that medical tourism is becoming popular in Poland. After our shift we searched the internet and found Dentestetica...
This is my second visit to the clinic, which has a quiet and comfortable atmosphere. It's almost like going to visit close friends. You are welcomed by two women who do their best to ensure that your visit will be positive and relaxed. If you arrive a bit early for treatment, you are offered coffee or tea while you wait. Everyone at the clinic welcomes you with a warm smile, and there is no stress. It is you who decides the pace of the treatment...
I am very satisfied with the treatment inDENTestetica. Good service and nice people. Professional treatment with high standards and favorable prices.
I've always been scared of dentists ever since I had a tooth pulled at the age of 14. I've tried to take good care of my teeth so I wouldn't need to go to the dentist, and I've been pretty successful in the last few years. Recently though, I started getting really bad toothache, and it brought back all my fears. My sister's a nurse and she was telling me that dentistry has changed a lot in the past few years and that it's possible to get pain-free injections so I started looking into it and I was pleasantly surprised...
This is an amazing clinic where you get all the help you need from professional people in a modern clinic at an affordable price. For the best service come to Krakow and you will want to go back. Will definitely return here again :-)
I am very happy, satisfied and also surprised. A friend of mine recommended this clinic to me as he had already been there in the summer and was very happy with the result. Very professional doctors and nice friendly staff made me feel very safe and comfortable. The treatment was very good, and I am very satisfied with the result. In Norway I guess it would take one year to do everything and cost at least twice as much. In Krakow the treatment lasted for 10 intensive days, but the result was excellent and it was absolutely worth it. A very satisfied Norwegian Viking that can both smile and eat again :-)))
A few months ago I came off my bike and broke my jaw, cracked a few teeth and had to have one tooth removed. After my jaw healed I started thinking about getting an implant for the missing tooth. My dentist quoted a huge amount so I decided to go somewhere else. I looked on the internet and noticed that some clinics abroad were much cheaper. After working out my finances I chose Dentestetica in Cracow. It was the best decision I could have made...
Dear Chris. I have forgotten to thank you for your hospitality when Dot and I visited you for a consultation. We were most impressed with your equipment and efficiency and will be considering future treatment when we find a moment to decide on your findings. Many thanks
This is very professional set-up. I was impressed as soon as I met the reception staff and more so as I was introduced to other members of the team. My clinical and radiological assessment was extremely thorough and the treatment protocol was carefully explained. I underwent surgery later in the day and had 5 implants performed painlessly under local anaesthetic. I returned to the UK 48hrs later and progressed well. There have been no complications in the immediate post operative period. I would add that I am a recently retired Consultant Surgeon in the UK.
The first impression of the clinic convinced me that everything was very clean and proper. My wife and i were very good taken care of from the beginning. In very short time the specialists had made a treatmentplan for us and everything went on very effectively. Another visit is necessary to complete the planned treatment. The final result is therefore a bit difficult to say. I will answer the first line rating according to this fact. However, i can't believe anything else than final satisfaction.
Some three years ago, I had a badly infected tooth. I have invariably had the "Marathon Man" experience with UK and USA dentists so I was not looking forward to more of Laurence Olivier asking me : "Is it safe? Does it hurt?" as he worked away. Since I was visiting Krakow for a few days, I thought - I hoped - that - just maybe - a Polish dentist could be better. In this way, I searched the internet - just as you are searching - and consulted Dr Gonczowski and his colleagues...
Very, very modern surgery in a lovely city,the people at Dentestetica are wonderful,very caring and excellent at their work.I was treated with kindness and care throughout my treatment.
I was impressed with all aspects of the surgery. I was most impressed with the competency of the workers and the equipment available. I can recommend this institution for anyone with similar teeth issues.
I was here just after Easter, and took out my old amalgam fillings, and replace them with new porcelain filling. I have been here oncebefore and I was impressed about the professionalism of the dentist. Much better then home in Norway. You feel welcome just when youarrive and all the time you are there. Excellent service.
This is very professional set-up. I was impressed as soon as I met the reception staff and more so as I was introduced to other members of the team.
A very friendly environment. :-). Professional, caring and absolutely customer-friendly. I'll be back in a few months. Krakow old-town is also really worth a visit!
Everyone was friendly and very helpful. Excellent dentistry. Dentists have compassion for you when you lie there for hours. All in all, I am very satisfied and recommend them to anyone considering going abroad. :)
As a patient you will get a detailed treatment description with prices, meet professional dentists, top equipment and friendly staff. And an efficient laboratory provides "new teeth" in the due time!

ARG_MAX and the Linux Kernel
July 15, 2011
For some reason, whenever I open up the Wikipedia, I end up with tons of tabs in my web browser, and usually the tabs are completely unrelated to each other. 😛
Yesterday, I ended up looking the xargs Wikipedia article, and there I found an interesting note:
Under the Linux kernel before version 2.6.23, arbitrarily long lists of parameters could not be passed to a command,[1] so xargs breaks the list of arguments into sublists small enough to be acceptable.
Along with a link to the GNU coreutils FAQ.
And from there a link to the Linux Kernel mainline git repository.
After a bit of googling, I found a very nice article describing in great detail the ARG_MAX variable, which defines the maximum length of the arguments passed to execve.
Traditionally Linux used a hardcoded:
#define MAX_ARG_PAGES 32
to limit the total size of the arguments passed to the execve() (including the size of the 'environment'). That limited the maxlen of the arguments passed to about 128KB (minus the size of the 'environment').
(Note: actually, very early Linux kernels did not have support for ARG_MAX and didn't use MAX_ARG_PAGES, but back then I was probably 2-3 years old, so it's ancient history for me :P)
With Linux-2.6.33, this hardcoded limit was removed. Actually it was replaced by a more 'flexible' limit. The maximum length of the arguments can now be as big as the 1/4th of the user-space stack. For example, in my desktop, using ulimit -s I get a stack size of 8192KB, which means 2097152 maxlength for the arguments passed. The same value you can obtain by using getconf. Now, if I increase the soft limit on the stack size, the maxlength allowed will also increase, although with a 8192KB soft limit, the 'ARGS_MAX' is already big enough. Two new limits where also introduced, one on the maxlength of each argument (equal to PAGE_SIZE * 32), and the total number of arguments, equal to 0x7FFFFFFF, or as big as a signed integer can be.
Linux headers however use the MAX_ARG_STRLEN, I think, as the ARG_MAX limit, which forces libc to #undef it in its own header files. I'm not sure, since I haven't looked into code yet, but at least for Linux, ARG_MAX is not statically defined anymore by libc (ie in a header file), but libc computes its value from the userspace stack size.
(edit: that's indeed how it works for >=linux-2.6.33 — code in sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sysconf.c:
case _SC_ARG_MAX: #if __LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION < 0x020617 /* Determine whether this is a kernel 2.6.23 or later. Only then do we have an argument limit determined by the stack size. */ if (GLRO(dl_discover_osversion) () >= 0x020617) #endif { /* Use getrlimit to get the stack limit. */ struct rlimit rlimit; if (__getrlimit (RLIMIT_STACK, &rlimit) == 0) return MAX (legacy_ARG_MAX, rlimit.rlim_cur / 4); } return legacy_ARG_MAX;
And the kernel code that enforces that limit:
struct rlimit *rlim = current->signal->rlim; unsigned long size = bprm->vma->vm_end - bprm->vma->vm_start; /* * Limit to 1/4-th the stack size for the argv+env strings. * This ensures that: * - the remaining binfmt code will not run out of stack space, * - the program will have a reasonable amount of stack left * to work from. */ if (size > rlim[RLIMIT_STACK].rlim_cur / 4) { put_page(page); return NULL; }
The whole kernel patch is a bit complicated for me to understand, since I don't have digged much into kernel mm code, but from what I understand, instead of copying the arguments into pages, and then mapping those pages into the new process address space, it setups a new mm_struct, and populates it with a stack VMA. It then copies the arguments into this VMA (expanding it as needed), and then takes care to 'position' it correctly into the new process. But since I'm not very familiar with the Linux Kernel mm API, it's very likely that what I said is totally wrong (I really have to read the mm chapters from "Understanding the Linux Kernel" :P).

Nice read! Could you explain how you arrived at 2097152 from 8192kb of stack size?
