Cruise Anticipationby Kuki, CruiseMates Cruise Director | August 6, 2003
"My wife and I will be staying at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas from Oct. 15-22. Anyone else going to be there then? Want to get together for drinks, and maybe a show?"
There is something very different about anticipating and preparing for a cruise vacation, as opposed to a land vacation.
On previous land vacations, whether it was a family camping trip, a golf holiday, or a trip to someplace like Las Vegas, I'd look forward to the upcoming time off work. But there was very little preparation, either mental or physical. The night before leaving, we'd throw everything we thought we'd need into bags, and off we'd go.
I'm presently just a few weeks away from a cruise, and there are unmistakable psychological and biological changes going on within me.
About a month before a cruise I notice a loss of appetite, and butterflies in my stomach. It may be my subconscious desire to lose weight before I'm seen with my shirt off by the swimming pool… or possibly it's my way of "making room," knowing that the first day onboard I'm going to devour an entire buffet, minus the chafing dishes of course.
At work, my productivity definitely slips prior to a cruise. I spend much of my time sneaking onto the Internet to research our ports of call, check for price reductions on our sailing, and look for new online friends going on the same cruise.
When I was young, I'd use the old trick of placing comic books inside my school text books, to make it appear I was studying. Today I find myself employing the technically-advanced adult version of that maneuver: keeping a window open to my accounting program just in case someone happens to look over my shoulder (particularly odd behavior when you consider that I'm the boss).
Then there's the matter of pre-cruise shopping. I'd bet no one has ever made sure they bought new underwear before a camping trip.
Though some might think pre-cruise shopping is more in the realm of women, I think the men can be almost as bad -- just sneakier. We won't gather six friends for a shopping sojourn and lunch, but we'll sneak off on a weekend and tell the family we're going to look for a new table saw, then sneak our new sports jacket into the closet when we get home.
When the time for the cruise finally arrives, and you're standing in line at the embarkation lounge waiting to board the ship, there's always a buzz of energy in the building. Everyone is chattering with everyone around them, all equally eager to get on the ship. It's not a feeling we've ever encountered checking into a Motel 6 alongside an interstate when I'm driving to my "vacation". Nor have we walked into a Burger King, sat down with people already there and asked, "Where are you from? Is this your first time at Burger King?"
If only I got the same adrenalin rush from paying my utility bills as I do from making the final payment for a cruise, life would be so much more tolerable! And if I could just get the tune to "Hot Hot Hot" out of my head, I could get a decent night's sleep, and I'd be ready to cruise!

Scotty blasts off on final mission
Actor's widow beams him up
James Doohan, the actor better known as Star Trek's Scotty, made it across the final frontier this Saturday when his ashes were launched into space aboard a 20 foot rocket.
Doohan's cremated remains have been waiting for this trip since the actor passed away from Alzheimer's and pneumonia two years ago. Various technical glitches, including a misfire during a test run, have delayed the launch, but this weekend things went smoothly.
His wife Wende, who pressed the launch button to send her late husband into orbit, described the launch as "fun". Keeping him company on his final flight were the remains of another 200 people, including astronaut Gordon Cooper, who first journeyed to space in 1963.
Speaking at the time of his death, Wende said it was Doohan's life ambition to go into space. She told reporters at the time: "He finally gets his wish, I can't think of a more fitting send-off than having some of his fans attend...his final journey."
Space Services, the company behind the trip, charges $495 to take "a symbolic" portion of a person's ashes into sub-orbital space. Once the flight reached its zenith, it separated into two portions which both returned to Earth on parachutes. The capsules are then mounted on plaques and returned to families as a memorial of the trip.
The company also offers services which see the remains boosted into higher orbits which gradually decay until the capsules are burned up in the atmosphere.
Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry's ashes were sent into space on Space Services' inaugural flight in 1997. ®

Americans who have been paying attention are outraged that Bush lied us into Iraq by making up false claims about weapons of mass destruction and pretending that Saddam Hussein had a hand in 9/11.
Many are disgusted that Obama got us into a war in Libya without Congressional authorization.
But as the ACLU noted yesterday, Congress is going even further … proposing handing permanent, world-wide war-making powers to the president – including the ability to make war within the United States:
A hugely important provision for Congress to authorize a new worldwide war has been tucked away inside the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The bill was marked up by members of the House Armed Services Committee (HASC) last Wednesday that poured into Thursday morning (2:45 a.m. to be exact).
A couple of minutes past midnight, Rep. John Garamendi (D-Calif.) offered an amendment to strike Sec. 1034 — the new authorization for worldwide war provision — from the NDAA. Visibly angry that such a large sweeping provision had not yet had any public hearing whatsoever, he vigorously characterized it as a very broad declaration of war.
Rep. Garamendi was very concerned by the limitless geographic boundaries of the provision. Essentially, it would enable the U.S. to use military force anywhere in the world (including within the U.S.) in search of terrorists.
While a new authorization for worldwide war has had its first public debate, it unfortunately only lasted a hair over 10 minutes and occurred after midnight.
Though it is a very troubling expansion of war authority, it has been lingering for more than three years as a "sleeper provision," and it is finally getting the attention of some members of Congress. We hope that further debate in Congress in the weeks ahead will allow for a more in-depth examination of unchecked authority to wage worldwide war, and what the outcomes of such a provision will yield.
As I noted in 2008:
An article in the Army Times reveals that the 3rd Infantry Division's 1st Brigade Combat Team will be redeployed from Iraq to domestic operations within the United States.
The unit will soon be under the day-to-day control of US Army North, the Army service component of Northern Command. The Army Times reports this new mission marks the first time an active unit has been given a dedicated assignment to Northern Command. The paper says the Army unit may be called upon to help with "civil unrest" and "crowd control".
The soldiers are learning to use so-called "nonlethal weapons" designed to subdue unruly or dangerous individuals and crowds.
This violates posse comitatus and the Constitution. But, hey, we're in a "national emergency", so who cares, right?
(We're still in a declared state of national emergency).
I noted a couple of months later:
Everyone knows that deploying 20,000 troops on U.S. soil violates Posse Comitatus and the Constitution.
And everyone understands that staging troops within the U.S. to "help out with civil unrest and crowd control" increases the danger of overt martial law.
But no one is asking an obvious question: Does the government's own excuse for deploying the troops make any sense?
Other Encroachments On Civil Rights Under Obama
As bad as Bush was, the truth is that, in many ways, freedom and constitutional rights are under attack even more than during the Bush years.
Obama has presided over the most draconian crackdown on leaks in our history — even more so than Nixon.
As Marjorie Cohen – professor at Thomas Jefferson School of Law and past president of the National Lawyers Guild – writes at the American Constitution Society for Law and Policy:
Army Pfc. Bradley Manning, who is facing court-martial for leaking military reports and diplomatic cables to WikiLeaks, is being held in solitary confinement in Quantico brig in Virginia. Each night, he is forced to strip naked and sleep in a gown made of coarse material. He has been made to stand naked in the morning as other inmates walked by and looked. As journalist Lance Tapley documents in his chapter on torture in the supermax prisons in The United States and Torture, solitary confinement can lead to hallucinations and suicide; it is considered to be torture. Manning's forced nudity amounts to humiliating and degrading treatment, in violation of U.S. and international law.
Nevertheless, President Barack Obama defended Manning's treatment, saying, "I've actually asked the Pentagon whether or not the procedures . . . are appropriate. They assured me they are." Obama's deference is reminiscent of President George W. Bush, who asked "the most senior legal officers in the U.S. government" to review the interrogation techniques. "They assured me they did not constitute torture," Bush said.
After State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley criticized Manning's conditions of confinement, the White House forced him to resign. Crowley had said the restrictions were "ridiculous, counterproductive and stupid." It appears that Washington is more intent on sending a message to would-be whistleblowers than on upholding the laws that prohibit torture and abuse.
Torture is commonplace in countries strongly allied with the United States. Vice President Omar Suleiman, Egypt's intelligence chief, was the lynchpin for Egyptian torture when the CIA sent prisoners to Egypt in its extraordinary rendition program. A former CIA agent observed, "If you want a serious interrogation, you send a prisoner to Jordan. If you want them to be tortured, you send them to Syria. If you want someone to disappear – never to see them again – you send them to Egypt." In her chapter in The United States and Torture, New Yorker journalist Jane Mayer cites Egypt as the most common destination for suspects rendered by the United States.
As I pointed out in March:
Former constitutional law teacher Glenn Greenwald says that – in his defense of state secrecy, illegal spying, preventative detention, harassment of whistleblowers and other issues of civil liberties – Obama is even worse than Bush.
Indeed, Obama has authorized "targeted assassinations" against U.S. citizens. Even Bush didn't openly do something so abhorrent to the rule of law.
Obama is trying to expand spying well beyond the Bush administration's programs. Indeed, the Obama administration is arguing that citizens should never be able to sue the government for illegal spying.
Obama's indefinite detention policy is an Orwellian nightmare, which will create more terrorists.
Furthermore – as hard as it is for Democrats to believe – the disinformation and propaganda campaigns launched by Bush have only increased under Obama. See this and this.
And as I pointed out last year:
According to Department of Defense training manuals, protest is considered "low-level terrorism". And see this, this and this.
An FBI memo also labels peace protesters as "terrorists".
A 2003 FBI memo describes protesters' use of videotaping as an "intimidation" technique, even though – as the ACLU points out – "Most mainstream demonstrators often use videotape during protests to document law enforcement activity and, more importantly, deter police from acting outside the law." The FBI appears to be objecting to the use of cameras to document unlawful behavior by law enforcement itself.
The Internet has been labeled as a breeding ground for terrorists, with anyone who questions the government's versions of history being especially equated with terrorists.
Government agencies such as FEMA are allegedly teaching that the Founding Fathers should be considered terrorists.
The government is also using anti-terrorism laws to keep people from learning what pollutants are in their own community. See this, this, this and this.
Claims of "national security" are also used to keep basic financial information – such as who got bailout money – secret. That might not bode for particularly warm and friendly treatment for someone persistently demanding the release of such information.
The state of Missouri tried to label as terrorists current Congressman Ron Paul and his supporters, former Congressman Bob Barr, libertarians in general, anyone who holds gold, and a host of other people.
And according to a law school professor and former president of the National Lawyers Guild, pursuant to the Military Commissions Act:
Anyone who … speaks out against the government's policies could be declared an "unlawful enemy combatant" and imprisoned indefinitely. That includes American citizens.
Obama has refused to reverse these practices.

05/29/2017 TOPKRAN takes delivery of the first Liebherr LTM 1750-9.1 mobile crane in Russia
- TOPKRAN will primarily use the LTM 1750-9.1 for underground railway construction
- The LTM 1750-9.1 delivers great performance and mobility
- TOPKRAN relies on good partners and high quality
Moscow crane rental company TOPKRAN took delivery of a Liebherr LTM 1750-9.1 mobile crane in April. This is the first crane of this type in Russia. TOPKRAN will primarily use the new crane in the construction of underground railways. The Liebherr 750-tonne machine can lift tunnel drilling machines in a single hoist. Previously two cranes hoisting in tandem were required for this work.
From left to right: Juri Lavotschnik (OOO Liebherr Russia), Georg Huber (Liebherr-Werk Ehingen GmbH), Oleg Orlov, Serzhik Grigorian, Grigori Grigorian (TOPKRAN), Christoph Kleiner (Liebherr-Werk Ehingen GmbH), Karen Mkhitaryan, Albert Mkhitaryan, Vitaliy Laptev (TOPKRAN), Jonas Roever (Deutsche Leasing Vostok), Nikolay Baranenko (VSK Strachovoi Dom), Volker Ostenried (Liebherr-Werk Ehingen GmbH)
The owners of TOPKRAN came to the Liebherr manufacturing plant in Ehingen with a fairly large delegation to take delivery of the crane. Liebherr had already prepared the LTM 1750-9.1 for shipment. The telescopic boom had been removed from the crane and placed on a separate low loader. Just one day after the handover, the crane started its journey towards the Baltic ports.
Topkran has experience with large cranes since the company also has Liebherr lattice boom cranes with lifting capacities of up to 750 tonnes. However, the mobility of the LTM 1750-9.1 is a major advantage for the jobs plan for it because underground railways are being extended and new ones are being built throughout Russia, for example in Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Kazan and Nizhny Novgorod. Grigori Grigorian, co-proprietor of Topkran says, "We are planning to use the new crane for underground railway construction and for jobs in the petrochemicals industry and metalworking industry".
TOPKRAN was founded in 2005 and was initially involved in the rental of earthmoving machines. It purchased its first cranes in 2008. With over 300 employees, 60 mobile and crawler cranes and 60 tower cranes, today TOPKRAN is one of the leading crane rental companies in Russia. The company continues to grow and the management is looking to the future optimistically. Orders for more cranes have already been placed. In 2018 the company intends to increase its capacity with a 1350-tonne crawler crane, the Liebherr LR 11350.
Karen Mkhitaryan, co-proprietor of the company, says: "We value quality very highly. That is why good partners are an important component for our future growth. That not only refers to the manufacturers of our cranes but also to finance and insurance companies." Representatives of finance company Deutsche Leasing Vostok, and insurance company VSK Strachovoi Dom, also attended the festive handover of the crane. Deutsche Leasing is an important partner to Liebherr customers for financing cranes. Insurance company VSK has around 400 offices throughout the country and is one of the largest insurers in Russia.

A group working to make sure all Sheridan County children are well-fed is growing in Sheridan, working with county schools now for about a year and a half. Amy Albrecht is with The Food Group in Sheridan.
An anonymous program, the nonprofit group operating within the Center for Vital Community offers their service at no cost to any child. The Food Group began by serving 100 and 120 children per week and now that number is up to 238 children in District 1 and 2. According to Albrecht, about 34 percent of Sheridan County School District 2 children are on the free and reduced lunch program. She added the group sees the biggest need in Tongue River schools.
The Food Group works with Wyoming Food Bank of the Rockies along with community retailers. Businesses can adopt schools and churches help as well. They help with pickup and packing food for delivery. Albrecht says they need the most help in the form of financial donations.
It costs $180 to sponsor a child for one year. The program is also offered to stretch food dollars over the weekend. Ask your principal to find out more.
Contact the CVC for more information: 674-6446 ext. 4203.

Logisys CCFL kits have been designed specifically for use in personal
computers. The lamp rests inside a clear, protective tube measuring 1/2-inch (14
mm) in width. This acrylic tube protects the delicate glass filament from slight bumps in
handling. For further protection and to keep the tube from moving during
transport, each end is sealed with an acrylic square end-cap. Included in each retail
boxed kit are precut Velcro strips for easily attaching the inverter and for the
end cap placement. A PCI slot with a built-in on/off switch is then installed in
a free slot to activate/deactivate your CCFL light. Each inverter can support
two bulbs using a standardized connector format (i.e. Sunbeam, Vantec bulbs work
fine with this inverter)

If you read my blog on a regular basis, you may have noticed some changes over the past 2 days or so. I had to do some rearranging of my pages to fit some new stuff in. I hope there hasn't been too much confusion. If you happen to notice something that you think needs fixed, please do not hesitate to let me know. This is a work in progress.
During this transition, I am also working on my recipes page. I hope to link all my recipes in this one location to make them easier to find for myself and for all of you as well. It will take some time, but hopefully not too long.
Thank you for your patience and for reading Gluten-free is Life.

'Halos' near distant galaxies may be stars
The invisible, dark-matter "halos" that surround galaxies may in fact contain a few stars, scientists at the University of California say.
The existence of stars in dark matter would explain why astronomers see more light than can be accounted for by existing galaxies, according to a report to be published in the journal Nature. The research was produced by scientists from UCLA, UC Irvine and elsewhere.
The new hypothesis rejects earlier theories such as light fluctuations from even more distant galaxies.
"Galaxies exist in dark-matter halos that are much bigger than the galaxies; when galaxies form and merge together, the dark matter halo gets larger and the stars and gas sink to the middle of the halo," said UCLA's Edward L. Wright.
"What we're saying is one star in a thousand does not do that and instead gets distributed like dark matter. You can't see the dark matter very well, but we are proposing that it actually has a few stars in it — only one-10th of one per cent of the number of stars in the bright part of the galaxy."
These newly hypothesized stars could have come from cosmic collisions. As crashing galaxies became gravitationally tangled with one another, "orphaned" stars were tossed into space, the researchers say, producing the diffuse, blotchy light emitted from the galaxy halos.

Doctors quick to criticise Lisa Curry over Rushing Women's Syndrome advice
Medical professionals have poured scorn on Lisa Curry's claims to suffer from "Rushing Women's Syndrome", saying the condition does not exist and warning the label could be harmful.
Curry, an Olympian, appeared on A Current Affair on Thursday night to blame the supposed hormone imbalance for the breakdown of her marriage to fellow athlete Grant Kenny.
Curry now sells her own range of hormone "balancing" supplements, which she claims can help women suffering similar symptoms.
In the interview, Curry, 52, said that at times when married to Kenny she was "being an absolute bitch, a cow, angry and irritable for no reason''.
''I had days where I felt completely out of control,'' she said. ''I was moody, I would cry for no reason, I wanted to kill the world.''
The term Rushing Women's Syndrome was coined by nutritional biochemist Libby Weaver in her book of the same name.
Dr Weaver, who has not met Curry, said the Olympian had taken elements of RWS out of context.
"Having not met Lisa I don't know if her definition of RWS is the same as what I have researched, written and talked about."
She said she wrote the book to teach women how sex hormones and stress interact, and the impact of that on their physical and emotional health.
"I am not talking about depression, I am not talking about anxiety, I am not talking about those medical conditions,'' she said. ''I am talking about women feeling like they have too much to do, day after day, year after year.
"Many women weren't aware that when there is a perception of pressure it is driving a cascade of biochemical changes.
"I used Rushing Women's Syndrome as a phrase to help educate people so they can begin a journey to better health."
She said she was not aware of Curry's supplements line until the story aired on A Current Affair.
"As a scientist I would need to understand the ingredients, their mechanisms of action and their proven efficacy before passing comment [on them]," she said.
General practitioner Ginni Mansberg said RWS was "a marketing term, not a medical term''.
"It's rolling into one a set of non-specific symptoms ... and giving simplistic answers," she said.
John Eden, associate professor of reproductive endocrinology at the University of NSW, agreed.
"It's a vague, nebulous term. What does it mean?" Dr Eden asked.
Dr Mansberg acknowledged that there was overlap between mental health and hormones.
She also said that some of Dr Weaver's advice for coping with RWS, such as exercise and yoga and taking time out for yourself, was beneficial.
But there was a vast difference between needing to tweak your lifestyle and being in such bad shape that you lost your relationships, she said.
"Giving up coffee and loving yourself and taking a few supplements is fine if you don't have serious mental health issues," she said. "Not if you're torpedoing your entire life and your relationships."
Curry and Kenny, once considered Australia's golden couple, split five years ago after 23 years of marriage. The couple had three children together, Jaimi, Jett and Morgan.
Curry said that in the aftermath she was given the option of antidepressants but knew she was not depressed. Instead, seeking the advice of a naturopath, she said she found balance with a ''happy hormone supplement''.
''Millions and millions of ladies are going through this around the world,'' she said. ''It's become such a big problem that the women think it's normal.''
Dr Eden agreed that many of his patients were struggling to cope.
"I spend a lot of my day giving lifestyle advice," he said. "I have patients saying, 'I'm always tired, is it my hormones?'
"I say, 'Well, possibly.' "
He reiterated that lifestyle factors do play a part in our health and how we feel. He also said that he regularly sees women with "severe hormonal problems that are very easily managed".
But mental health issues were different and the "implication that you can take something hormonal to fix it" is problematic, he said.
Dr Mansberg said such a notion can be dangerous.
"It buys into the stigma that you are a failure if you have a mental health problem," she said. "There are moments when we think 'I can't cope', but if you're constantly overwhelmed, that's not normal ...
"If you're feeling constantly miserable, no supplement out there will help."
The advice to "love yourself", reduce coffee or alcohol, and exercise, Dr Mansberg said, was "at worst a lethal issue" for those who were seriously depressed.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 70 diseños de 21 diseñadores freelance.
We Love Europe - tag line: A Docucartoon to inspire young europeans
Business Solutions Europa, a communication agency, specializes in delivering customized public policy content for youth using original approaches to simplify complex content in the fields of environment, public health, social policies and themes related to general and specific EU policies, etc.
A review of our latest campaign, the animated TV series "My Friend Boo" can be accessed on http://www.myfriendboo.com and http://www.animate-eu.com.
The DocuCartoon will focus on environmental responsibility, energy conservation, mobility, healthy lifestyle, multilevel diversity and mutual trust and respect towards social development.
Primary target: children 8 – 12 years; young enough for a part animation, part documentary format and old enough to pick up positive messages which help develop their opinion
Secondary target: overall civil society; family members, educational bodies, civil sector organizations and media.
A "DocuCartoon" is composed of a part of animation and a part of live shooting whose images are compiled together to create a story. It is an innovative form of "Edutainment" - a form of entertainment designed to educate as well as to amuse. The project is co-funded by the European Union.
We are looking for a logo to brand our new project "We love Europe". The project is a DocuCartoon series of 5 episodes which will be broadcast on children's and commercial TV channels. Its content is educationally entertaining and focuses on environmental responsibility, energy conservation, mobility, intercultural dialogue, healthy lifestyle and European values.
We look forward to an innovative and appealing logo design to suit the taste of an age group (8-12) approaching teenage and developing a sense of "likeability" towards specific contents. The logo should not be styled too "immaturely" in order to avoid dismissing the content for toddlers.
A visible inclusion of the word "Europe", as well as symbolic representations, is favoured. We remain open for cross combinations and inventive suggestions in this direction.
The logo design must be usable in multimedia formats, print materials, advertisements and social networks. We are eager to work with you on the branding of this project!

1. Re: Jboss with axis2 web service using high CPU utilizationPeter Johnson Apr 25, 2012 10:52 AM (in response to rajesh gupta)
When a request comes in, and a thread is allocated to service that request, that thread will use up 100% of a core while it is running (unles it has to mwait on somethign such as a database request). Of course, it should be running only briefly (in the 10s of milliseconds). High CPU utilization for a brief time is not a problem. Why do you think it would be? Have you tried running a load test? That is the only way to judge the performance of your system.
By the way, you might want to compare a empty servlet request with an empty axis2 request to see what overhead axis2 is introductiong. I would set up load test for both cases. (I did an empty servlet test several years back and JBoss AS easily served way over 10K requests per second.)
2. Re: Jboss with axis2 web service using high CPU utilizationrajesh gupta Apr 26, 2012 1:08 AM (in response to Peter Johnson)
Hi Peter
Thank you for your reply.
I did few load tests to understand the CPU utilization.
In our application we are using Mysql5.5 enterprise edition having 40 million records. External client will only request one record details at a time.
1) I performed a load test with 1 million requests(read), i observed that the CPU is around 81 to 85 % throughput is 1200 per/sec with a response time of 15 milli seconds
2) Tested with empty Axis2 servlet. now CPU utilization is around 45 to 50 % (from this we can say our app is taking 30%-35 % of CPU). I just wanted to know is there any way to reduce CPU utilization here (from jboss perspective)? beacuse reducing CPU is our goal.
3. Re: Jboss with axis2 web service using high CPU utilizationPeter Johnson Apr 26, 2012 11:56 AM (in response to rajesh gupta)
You should still try testing with an emopty servlet (no axis2). In fact, don't even deploy your app, create a second app with the empty servlet. That will tell you what overhead axis2 is introducing.
Usually the only way to reduce CPU utilization are:
a) Run on a bigger system (more cores)
b) Run on multiple systems and split your workload among them.
What have you done to tune the JVM? Specifically heap tuning? Have you monitored GC activity?
4. Re: Jboss with axis2 web service using high CPU utilizationrajesh gupta Apr 30, 2012 1:13 AM (in response to Peter Johnson)
We tried different parametrs of GC and tested them too finally we are with the following GC params(as it is giving good TPS with minimal pause time of app).
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xmx4096m -Xms4096m -Xmn2g -Xss128k -XX:ParallelGCThreads=8 -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:SurvivorRatio=8 -XX:TargetSurvivorRatio=90 -XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=31 -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -XX:PermSize=256m
But we didnt find any drop/increase in CPU utilization with all the test we performed with different combination and different type of GC collector.
5. Re: Jboss with axis2 web service using high CPU utilizationPeter Johnson Apr 30, 2012 9:26 AM (in response to rajesh gupta)
A couple of comments.
-Xmn2g: I would not let the young generation get up to half the heap size, you too often end up with too many full collection. I'd limit it to 1gb (I usually recommend 1/3 to 1/4 the heap size as a starting point for tuning). This is especially important when using the CMS collector because while the CMS collector is running you will loose the use of one of your cores because it will be busy running the collector.
-XX:ParallelGCThreads=8: I hope that you have at least 8 cores. Never set this to more cores than you have. The JVM by default sets this to the number of cores (for up to 8 cores, but after that it does 6 threads per 8 cores IIRC.)
You still haven't figured out the overheap introduced by Axis2 (not sure why you keep on ignoring this, especially since it is critical to resolving the issue you keep on brining up)

Authoritative Settings and Involuntary Clients
Steven P. Segal
Social workers are increasingly working in authoritative settings—that is, settings where they have the power to mandate conformity by the client to the normative and often legal requirements of the organization. Such settings may be residential, such as jails, prisons, and rehabilitation facilities, or community-based organizations that are part of the criminal justice system, the mental health system, the health system, and the child welfare system. The exercise of power derived from the authority vested in the setting's objectives may and often does alter the total life situation of an individual, such as when a client is compelled to move to supervised care without the client's consent. Under an outpatient civil commitment order or mental health court supervision, the patient may be told where to live and with whom to associate as well as be required to participate in interactive treatment and to take medication. In authoritative settings, social workers are working with "involuntary" clients—clients who understand, whether or not it is explicitly stated, that the social worker possesses the power to effect unwanted change in their life circumstance. Since the early 1990s, the field has been developing new ideas and skills that are equally useful in working with voluntary and involuntary clients. In the process, social worker authority is now viewed less as a way to gain client compliance and, instead, is understood more as an opportunity to build partnerships with clients that lead to changes that are enduring and more meaningful to clients.
Empowerment Practice
Ruth J. Parsons and Jean East
The concept of empowerment has deep roots in social work practice. Building upon the work of empowerment theorists of the 1980s and 1990s and applied broadly in the 2000s [Itzhaky and York (2000), Social Work Research, 24, 225–234; Travis and Deepak (2011), Journal of Ethnic and Cultural Diversity in Social Work, 20, 203–222], the concept of empowerment has evolved from a philosophical level to practice frameworks and methods. Substantial research confirms empowerment outcomes as personal, interpersonal, and sociopolitical. Practice interventions contain both personal and structural dimensions and are accomplished through multilevel interventions. Based on transformation ideology, empowerment is a counter to perceived and objective powerlessness. Social work relationships provide an opportunity for experiencing power and collaboration. Empowerment interventions are often useful with vulnerable populations, such as women and members of stigmatized groups.
Rural Practice
Judith A. Davenport and Joseph Davenport, III
Rural social work, whose history stretches back a century, has been revitalized since the mid-1970s. Definitions, typologies, and characteristics of rurality are provided, which serve as a framework for rural practice, policy, and research concerns. A primary focus is on those concerns differentiating rural from urban social work. Social workers interested in additional information are given basic references, as well as material on the National Rural Social Work Caucus, the annual National Institute on Social Work and Human Services in Rural Areas, the electronic journal, and the online listserv.
Lawrence Shulman
Supervision of students and practitioners has been important to social work since its earliest evolution as a recognized profession. Central to the process is the idea of one professional with more knowledge, skill, and experience guiding the practice and development of another with less. The four content areas of supervision usually include direct practice, professional impact, job management, and continued learning. There are a number of supervision models, and most emphasize a positive supervisor–supervisee working relationship, a parallel process, and the importance of cultural competency. The emergence of Evidence-Based Practices and Trauma-Informed Practices has also influenced supervision. The contemporary context of social work supervision offers both opportunities and challenges to clinical supervision.

Unless something unexpected happens, 5.2 is going to drop on March 5th. Just a few days away. There is a fantastic round-up of 5.2-related posts on the official site that you should definitely check out. Here are the changes that resto Druids need to know about.
A number of Resto Druid abilities have been buffed, or improved in some way.
Naturalist: This new passive learned at level 10 by Restoration Druids increases all healing done by the Druid by 10%.
This is a nice buff to all our healing. Hopefully in 5.2, this chart will look a little different and Druids will be on more even footing with the other healing classes.
Wild Mushrooms will now gain 25% of the overhealing performed by the Druid's Rejuvenation effects, up to a maximum of 33% of the Druid's health in bonus healing, and growing larger as they do so. When Wild Mushroom: Bloom is cast, this bonus healing will be divided evenly amongst targets in the area of effect.
Mushrooms definitely needed some love, hopefully this change is enough to make them useful. The 33% bonus healing is applied to each Mushroom, so a 3-stack will now heal for an extra ~450k (or whatever your current health value is), split between all targets. This will make for a potent heal if it hits a single or a limited number of targets, and a reasonable group heal if it hits many targets. However, because the Mushrooms need to charge up, it makes placement of them even more important. We'll need to learn not to place them where the raid is now, but where the raid will be in the future. Start teaching your raid that hugging Mushrooms is the cool thing to do.
The healing granted by Cenarion Ward when a target takes damage has been increased by 100%.
The current healing of Cenarion Ward is not very good. In my current gear, self-buffed, CW does a total of about 67000 healing. Doubling the amount will make it a very decent sized heal, on a 30-second cooldown. In terms of raw HPS, this puts CW ahead of Nature's Swiftness. However, the problems with CW remain – it is very susceptible to overheal. In most cases, I still prefer Nature's Swiftness free, emergency heal over another HoT.
Soul of the Forest: Now grants 75% Haste on the next spell cast after the Druid casts Swiftmend.
Soul of the Forest is a great boost to raid healing, granting 75% haste instead of 50% makes it even better. This means than at ideal haste levels, casting Wild Growth with the SotF buff will give you 14 ticks (up from 12). However, once we drop our 4T14 bonus we're going to run back into the problem of the cooldowns on Swiftmend and Wild Growth aligning poorly, which means Incarnation will likely be more useful. For more on how the change to SotF will affect your HoTs, go visit Binkenstein.
The Treants summoned by Force of Nature now deal more damage and healing, and the Force of Nature tooltip will report the capabilities of these summoned pets.
I'm not sure exactly how much more healing FoN will do now. I've heard that they're a fair bit better, both in HPS and not being completely stupid. I still don't see many situations where I'd take this over Incarnation or SotF though.
Rejuvenation now costs approximately 9% less mana.
This is really just a way to let us break our 2T14 set bonuses without it hurting.
My Resto Druid Guide has been updated to reflect these changes.
Other Spell Changes
There are also a few minor spell changes coming. First, one of our talents is changing;
Nature's Vigil now has a 90-second cooldown (was 3 minutes), and now increases damage and healing done by 10% (was 20%).
Numerically, there's no change here. NV can just be used twice as often but provides half the bonus. This makes NV as an output cooldown less attractive to me. While I currently switch between NV and HotW on some fights, I foresee sticking with HotW most of the time now.
Revive and Mark of the Wild now cost 55% less mana.
Faerie Swarm can now snare more than one target at a time.
Mass Entanglement now has a 30-second cooldown (was 2 minutes).
Typhoon now has a 30-second cooldown (was 20 seconds).
These four changes will have minor impact on the average raiding resto Druid. The cost reduction of MotW will be nice for rebuffing those who get battle rezzed. The cooldown reduction on Mass Entanglement will make us better at CC if T15 brings us more fights with lots of adds – I would have loved this while working on Heroic Will.
I've posted the list of new gear available in 5.2. Valor is not being reset, so hopefully you're sitting on a lot of it as we go into the patch. The new Shadow-Pan Assault rep has a lot of good options for quick upgrades. You'll be able to purchase a new neck immediately for 1250 VP. If you're anything like me, bracers tend to be the bane of the gearing process (still wearing 489s from normal Spirit Kings). SPA offers some nice bracers at Friendly for 1250 VP which you should be able to obtain quickly as well. There is also a trinket available at Friendly for 1750 VP.
None of the changes have caused our stat priority to change. You'll still be looking to maintain your 3043 Haste level, then focusing on other secondary stats.

Yet, Lessons From the Real World, a new very timely and important one hour documentary from award-winning producer Bob Gliner (Democracy Left Behind, Heifer, Playing for Keeps), contends, like many educators, that focusing on test scores to improve student achievement is looking in the wrong place.

Net migration rate: 0 migrant(s)/1,000 population (2007 est.)See Also
Definition: This entry includes the figure for the difference between the number of persons entering and leaving a country during the year per 1,000 persons (based on midyear population). An excess of persons entering the country is referred to as net immigration (e.g., 3.56 migrants/1,000 population); an excess of persons leaving the country as net emigration (e.g., -9.26 migrants/1,000 population). The net migration rate indicates the contribution of migration to the overall level of population change. High levels of migration can cause problems such as increasing unemployment and potential ethnic strife (if people are coming in) or a reduction in the labor force, perhaps in certain key sectors (if people are leaving).

The overall favorability rating of the NRA has plunged in the last month, putting its image in a negative light for the first time.
In separate polls conducted by Public Policy Polling and the Washington Post/ABC News, the association's favorability ratings sit underwater with the majority of Americans.
The PPP poll shows a big shift from before CEO Wayne LaPierre's press conference, which cast blame on the media, and violent video games and movies for the elementary-school massacre in Newtown, Conn., last month. Before the press conference, 48 percent of Americans viewed the organization in a positive light, compared with 41 percent who viewed it unfavorably.
After the press conference and a subsequent appearance on "Meet the Press," the NRA's favorability shifted to a 42-45 negative split — a 10-point swing in three weeks.
Meanwhile, the Washington Post and ABC found that the NRA's favorability rating is underwater for the first time ever in their limited polling of the question. According to the poll, only 36 percent said they have a favorable opinion of the NRA, compared with 44 percent who view it in a negative light.
When the WaPo/ABC last polled on the subject in 1999, the group's favorability rating stood comfortably positive at a 48-39 split.
The hit to the organization's image comes as it is taking heat for an ad that calls President Barack Obama an "elitist hypocrite" for sending his children to a school with armed protection. The NRA has come out in force against Obama's plans to introduce more restrictive gun legislation, which he will formally announce today at the White House.

Gareth Russell reviews the Moleskine-esque ESV Journaling Edition Bible, complete with an elastic band.
It even lays flat!
"The Journaling Edition comes in an attractive plain black hardcover,
with the only writing and decoration on the cover being some silver
writing on the spine that says, "ESV || Journaling Bible || Crossway".
There's no tacky crown of thorns on this cover or Celtic crosses,
instead just a thick black elastic band that provides a touch of
decoration. The elastic band is of a good quality too, I was initially
concerned that the elastic band would be able to come loose from the
cover but upon closer inspection it seems to be firmly attached to the
back cover…"

Marcus Klimke: a highly decorated luthier
Giuseppe Pedrazzini, fine Italian violin (certificate J. & A. Beare) - investment
This fine Italian violin with high investment potential was made by Giuseppe Pedrazzini in 1950. Giuseppe Pedrazzini, born in 1879 near Cremona, made this violin late in life. The highly sought-after master placed his mark and original label on it in 1950. He began his career by studying to become a cabinet maker in keeping with the family tradition, and as a young man, he repaired violins in his spare time. Gradually he evolved into a promising luthier, at which point he started working as Romeo Antoniazzi's assistant, where he honed his skills into a highly refined art. In 1906, Giuseppe Pedrazzini established his own workshop and eventually became the official luthier of the Milan conservatory and La Scala. The highlights in his biography include numerous prizes and medals at major violin making exhibitions and competitions, amongst them Rome in 1920 and Cremona in 1937. An exceptional master, he was also an influential teacher who left behind a legacy in Italian violin making: Piero Parravicini and Ferdinando Garimberti, younger students of Romeo Antoniazzi, both perfected their art under Predazzini. His circle of apprentices also included his nephew Natale Novelli, who had become his closest colleague by 1950, the time when this instrument was produced. Novelli took over the workshop in 1957 after Giuseppe Pedrazzini's death. This instrument is unmistakably influenced by Novelli's craft, but its distinctive and striking aesthetic unquestionably places it within his uncle's oeuvre. The lovely scroll and rich, gentle and highly transparent oil varnish, which has developed gentle crackling, both indicate Pedrazzini's style, as does the expressive and assertively large model itself. Premium tone woods help give this violin its stupendous tonal properties. The top is made of refined spruce with a fine to moderate grain, and deep flames of exceptionally rare beauty emanate from the centre of the maple used for the two-piece back.

Quantization of gravity (general relativity) seems to be impossible for spacetime dimension D >= 4. Instead, quantum gravity is described by string theory which is something more than quantization (for example it introduces an infinite number of fields). More direct approaches to quantization of gravity have failed (my opinion; not everyone would agree on this).
However, gravity in dimensions D < 4 is special, because it is topological (carries no dynamic degrees of freedom locally). It is possible to quantize gravity coupled to other fields at D = 2: in fact perturbative string theory is exactly that! What about D = 3? Are there approaches to quantization of gravity (coupled to other fields) which have been more successful at D = 3 than at D = 4?

Summer 2011
Daniel-Claude Gendron (Spring/Summer 2009)
Age: 42
Living with HIV for 13 years
CD4 count: 630
Viral load: undetectable
"An HIV-positive man fighting against the virus with a pencil."
How would you describe your health?
I'm in good health.
Are you experiencing any specific issues around HIV or your treatment?
I don't have any major problems with my treatment for the moment.
What have you been up to since you appeared on the cover of the Spring / Summer 2009 issue with Super-Poz, the comic-book super hero you created?
Many wonderful things have happened-the most remarkable is the publication of the first issue of Super-Poz. Thanks to my participation in The Positive Side, several people expressed their interest in my project. Among other things, I was a contributing artist at Café des Arts at Montreal's Gay Pride 2010, where, for the first time, the graphic novel Super-Poz was available. Since then, Super-Poz has been available in Priape stores across Canada.
One thing I certainly did not expect after revealing my serostatus to the world on the cover of a magazine was to hear that my parents carried around a copy of The Positive Side when visiting family to discuss my serostatus and to say "Look how well he's doing!" That's probably what touched me the most during this whole adventure. I feel privileged to have had such a reaction.
But not everything has worked out as well. I lost my job last fall after eight years of employment. The board of directors and the management of an HIV community organization decided, due to a shortage of funds, that the social re-integration I've been advocating for for 10 years didn't stack up to other services offered to people living with HIV — hey kids, we have no money, we can't do scrapbooking anymore! It is this social re-integration, however, that saved my life.
I therefore made the choice to contribute, at least for the moment, in my own way — through drawing. I would love to make a living from my illustrations in the future. Not that I've given up yet — I'm still a solider in the poz army and still at war against the forces that I think cause so many problems: abuse (of sex, drugs, confidence and power) and keeping secrets. I believe that these are the main reasons for the spread of HIV. If I were Super-Poz, I would have eliminated these problems a long time ago.
What one super power do you wish to have?
To cure.
In one word, describe this moment in AIDS.
In 10 years…
I would like to have my own place to exhibit art.
What song is the soundtrack of your life?
"Uprising" by Muse.

Product Description
Ornamental Iron Fence:
For hundreds of years ornamental fencing has enhanced the architectural beauty of homes, buildings and churches. Originally fashioned from wrought iron designed and forged by blacksmiths, today's ornamental fencing is crafted using modern materials and current production techniques. Steel or aluminum components are fabricated into sections using fasteners, locking rods, or welding. Once you determine your requirements, you'll find it's easy to select the appropriate ornamental fence for your application.
Match the design to your security requirements
Ornamental fencing can provide many levels of security for residential, commercial or industrial applications. The right combination of fence height, picket spacing, fence style, and material components can provide the protection you need.
Residential Applications
Keeping pets and children in the yard, or out of an attractive hazard such as a pool, are common objectives. Your local building code may specify required fence height or product features to alleviate safety concerns.
Most residential ornamental fences come in heights ranging from 3' to 6' high.
All ornamental fences can be designed with pickets above the top rail or with the top rail covering the tops of the pickets.
