I grew up in a family with three kids. Vacation hotel stays always presented a challenge. Most hotel rooms could only accommodate four people. Inevitably one of us slept on an uncomfortable fold-away bed that came at an extra cost, or on the floor.
A trip to Great Wolf Lodge would not have presented this challenge to my family. No one would have to sleep on the floor and everyone could have comfortably spread out. My parents would have been happy too—they would not have had to pay for a second room so we could enjoy this comfort.
Great Wolf Lodge resorts are all-suite properties. Most families book a Family Suite, which includes two queen beds and a full size sleeper sofa, so six people can comfortably relax after their full day of water park fun! And while the Family Suite is a wonderful option, we offer so many additional others, too!
During a visit to the Great Wolf Lodge in Mason, Ohio, we surprised our son with a KidCabin suite. While he is probably too young to full enjoy it, he immediately recognized the KidCabin was just for him. The suite provides a separate sleeping area for children, complete with two bunk beds and a third bed. (It would have been perfect for my sister, brother and me.)
The KidCabin has its own TV, and while it does not have a door, the suite's layout makes it easy to put your pups to bed, but still keep lights on in the room. (How many of us have sat in a dark hotel room because the baby was sleeping?) And, if you're keeping score, the KidCabin suite is perfect for seven people, with its queen size bed and pull out sleeper sofa.
The KidKamp and Wolf Den are two other suites that are as fun and playful as they are spacious and comfortable. The cozy "tent" and animal-themed den feature bunk beds in a similar, separate space just for kids.
Cute theming aside, you can choose several other unique suite to meet your needs. My personal favorite is the Whirlpool Fireplace suite. Luxury king size bed, inroom fireplace, huge whirlpool tub. While this suite is for four people, nothing says vacation like a room with a fireplace.
Our guests tell us that Great Wolf Lodge is the perfect destination for family reunions. From the Majestic Bear suite which includes a breakfast bar; to the Grizzly Bear suite and its two bathrooms; to the truly amazing Great Frontier Loft condo in Wisconsin Dells complete with four bedrooms; Great Wolf Lodge resorts have the perfect alternative to the boring hotel room.
Don't forget all of our suites include a complimentary microwave, coffee maker and refrigerator, so sippy cups, bottles, snacks and leftovers from your dinner at the Loose Moose buffet can be saved and enjoyed throughout your stay.
For your next vacation - what suite style will you surprise your family with?

August begins a five-month walk through history at your Leavenworth Public Library.
We have lined up a series of programs that examine a broad array of historical interests. Beginning with the National Archives in Kansas City, August is a month of discovering and rediscovering our history to continue our stories.
At 1 p.m. Thursday, the National Archives in Kansas City offers a program at your library examining the importance of ship passenger arrival lists to family research. Participants will be instructed on the types of ship passenger lists available and how they can help you uncover your story.
Staff from the National Archives in Kansas City will offer search techniques useful in examining these lists and other historical documents. If you are still discovering your story, this is one program you do not want to miss. The National Archives is an extraordinary resource if you are tracing your lineage. Stop by and see what they offer.
Commemorating the 100th anniversary of The Great War, or The War to End All Wars, your library has two very special events lined up for our community. To provide a deeper understanding of the human element of warfare, members of the Living History Volunteer Corps will be in uniform, and in character, to share their stories from the front lines. Make plans to visit with them from noon-5 p.m. Aug. 23 and learn about the uniforms, equipment, and challenges the soldiers faced in this era of trench warfare as you walk through the story of World War I.
On the heels of the visit by the Living History Volunteer Corps, Scott Porter hosts a discussion of Barbara Tuchman's book, "The Guns of August" at 2 p.m. Aug. 24.
Sponsored by the Kansas Humanities Council, this thought-provoking book discussion by Porter gives participants the opportunity to consider the strategic, political, and military perspectives of the time. Porter's insightful talk takes participants back in time to rediscover and understand the events that began 100 years ago this month.
Members of the Fort Leavenworth Historical Society continue our walk through history in September with the first in a four-part series, "The Forgotten Germans: The POW Executions at Fort Leavenworth," is discussed at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 11 in your library's Jahn meeting room. We are very fortunate to have this local resource providing additional programs, one each month, through the end of the year. Stay tuned for more information.
To round out our history discovery events for August, your library is also supporting the annual Buffalo Bill Days in Leavenworth. Buffalo Bill Days commemorates the story of William Cody in a fun way for members of the community.
From outhouse races to a bake off and pie eating contest sponsored by your library, this highly anticipated two day event takes us on an authentic journey back in time. For more information about the bake off and pie eating contest, please visit your library's website, leavenworthpubliclibrary.org.
Join your library as we give you many different ways to take a walk back in time. Remember with us, and stop by and see what we have to offer this August.
It is our pleasure to be the staff of your Leavenworth Public Library. As always, we look forward to talking books and more with you soon.

Captain America Camouflage Kids' Tee
For the hero inside all of us!
One of the first super heroes, Captain America emerged during wartime to bring about a sense of hope and courage for the youth of a struggling nation. Today, Captain America still stands for those same ideals.
Before Captain America was a great hero, he was a small, powerless young man named Steve Rogers. With justice and courage in his heart, the frail boy stood up to the biggest, scariest bullies in order to protect those who couldn't protect themselves. As Captain America, Steve stands for the people, for the men and women with no voice and no power. Captain America stands for justice and now your wee geek can, too.
Blue camo pattern with raised details features a star and belt peeking out from beneath this "slashed" shirt. (It's printed to look as if Cap got in a disagreement with Wolverine, but the shirt itself is whole.) Back is blank. 100% cotton. Imported. Machine wash cold. Tumble dry low or lay flat to dry.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – The Strikers announced Wednesday the resigning of former Barry University standout, Mark Anderson, the club's leading goal-scorer for 2012.
Anderson scored 13 goals in all and was recently named to the NASL's Best XI Team in his first professional season after finishing off an illustrious four-year career with Barry University.
The 2011 Division II National Player of the Year played in 25 matches for the Strikers, including 19 starts.
"We are very excited to have re-signed Mark," said Strikers head coach Daryl Shore. "He was a big part of our team in his rookie season and we are very happy to have him back with the red and yellow for 2013. Being able to keep a solid core group of guys together as we move forward is important and Mark is a big part of this group."
The midfielder for Durham, England will be under contract through the 2013 season with club option for 2014 and 2015.
Anderson was second on the Strikers in appearances among field players with 25, including being named a starter 19 times. He added three assists on the season as well.
"It's been a long process, but it's nice to finally come to an agreement," said Anderson. "I'm looking forward to the future and hopefully winning a championship with the Strikers."
In 2012, Anderson finished the season with 11 goals in NASL play, good for third in the league.
"You don't want to stand still, and to know that the club has aspirations of moving forward was a big part of my decision," said Anderson. "We signed some core players like Matt (Glaeser), Walter (Restrepo), and Pecka who are key to moving forward, so that was a major factor as well."

X-ray crystal structure of mutant N62V human Carbonic Anhydrase II
Structural highlights
[CAH2_HUMAN] Defects in CA2 are the cause of osteopetrosis autosomal recessive type 3 (OPTB3) [MIM:259730]; also known as osteopetrosis with renal tubular acidosis, carbonic anhydrase II deficiency syndrome, Guibaud-Vainsel syndrome or marble brain disease. Osteopetrosis is a rare genetic disease characterized by abnormally dense bone, due to defective resorption of immature bone. The disorder occurs in two forms: a severe autosomal recessive form occurring in utero, infancy, or childhood, and a benign autosomal dominant form occurring in adolescence or adulthood. Autosomal recessive osteopetrosis is usually associated with normal or elevated amount of non-functional osteoclasts. OPTB3 is associated with renal tubular acidosis, cerebral calcification (marble brain disease) and in some cases with mental retardation.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
[CAH2_HUMAN] Essential for bone resorption and osteoclast differentiation (By similarity). Reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. Can hydrate cyanamide to urea. Involved in the regulation of fluid secretion into the anterior chamber of the eye.[6] [7]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Catalysis by the zinc metalloenzyme human carbonic anhydrase II (HCA II) is limited in maximal velocity by proton transfer between His64 and the zinc-bound solvent molecule. Asn62 extends into the active site cavity of HCA II adjacent to His64 and has been shown to be one of several hydrophilic residues participating in a hydrogen-bonded solvent network within the active site. We compared several site-specific mutants of HCA II with replacements at position 62 (Ala, Val, Leu, Thr, and Asp). The efficiency of catalysis in the hydration of CO 2 for the resulting mutants has been characterized by (18)O exchange, and the structures of the mutants have been determined by X-ray crystallography to 1.5-1.7 A resolution. Each of these mutants maintained the ordered water structure observed by X-ray crystallography in the active site cavity of wild-type HCA II; hence, this water structure was not a variable in comparing with wild type the activities of mutants at residue 62. Crystal structures of wild-type and N62T HCA II showed both an inward and outward orientation of the side chain of His64; however, other mutants in this study showed predominantly inward (N62A, N62V, N62L) or predominantly outward (N62D) orientations of His64. A significant role of Asn62 in HCA II is to permit two conformations of the side chain of His64, the inward and outward, that contributes to maximal efficiency of proton transfer between the active site and solution. The site-specific mutant N62D had a mainly outward orientation of His64, yet the difference in p K a between the proton donor His64 and zinc-bound hydroxide was near zero, as in wild-type HCA II. The rate of proton transfer in catalysis by N62D HCA II was 5% that of wild type, showing that His64 mainly in the outward orientation is associated with inefficient proton transfer compared with His64 in wild type which shows both inward and outward orientations. These results emphasize the roles of the residues of the hydrophilic side of the active site cavity in maintaining efficient catalysis by carbonic anhydrase.

It'll be at least a month before damaged bridge reopensBy GRETYL MACALASTER
Union Leader Correspondent
April 03. 2013 5:47PM
PORTSMOUTH - It will be at least one month before the Sarah Mildred Long Bridge reopens to vehicular traffic.
On Monday afternoon, the aging bridge connecting Portsmouth and Kittery via the Route 1-Bypass was struck by a 473-foot oil tanker that came loose from the nearby state pier. An investigation as to why is still under way by the U.S. Coast Guard.
Underwater inspection of the Long Bridge on Wednesday unveiled damage to one of the piers, which is being analyzed to see if repair work is needed. It was also determined that two of the bridge's truss elements need to be replaced and others are being analyzed to see whether they need to be repaired or replaced.
As of 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, transportation officials said they still did not have a cost estimate for the repairs, but said they are on a path to getting the bridge fixed. Maine and New Hampshire share responsibility for maintaining the three bridges connecting Kittery and Portsmouth and will be hiring a private contractor to complete the necessary repair work.
In a statement released Wednesday afternoon, NH DOT spokesman Bill Boynton said there is a lot of inspection and engineering work going on to make sure the bridge repairs are expedited as soon as possible.
"The bridge took a big hit … all of the attention right now by the N.H. and Maine DOT's is on getting the bridge safe and back in operation," Boynton said.
Previous story follows:
PORTSMOUTH — Transportation officials expect the Sarah Mildred Long Bridge to be closed for at least two to four weeks while structural damage is repaired.
The United States Coast Guard is investigating how the 473-foot Portuguese-flagged tanker Harbour Feature came loose from the state pier Monday afternoon and struck the downriver side of the Route 1 Bypass bridge.
A detailed inspection Tuesday confirmed damage to four steel bridge members that will require replacement or repair, according to the New Hampshire Department of Transportation.
Underwater inspection of two bridge piers is scheduled for today.
The New Hampshire DOT, in conjunction with the Maine Department of Transportation, is working to secure a private contractor to perform the repairs. Officials said cost estimates are still being developed.
The two states share responsibility for the three bridges connecting Portsmouth and Kittery, Maine.
The Memorial Bridge over Route 1 is under construction, due for completion this summer.
Only the Interstate 95 bridge is now available for commuters.
The Sarah Mildred Long Bridge was constructed in 1940 and is the state's number-one "red list" bridge, meaning it is the bridge most in need of repair. The state of Maine is leading the effort to design a replacement for the middle bridge; construction is slated to begin in spring 2015.
Marine traffic is able to pass under the bridge, officials said.
According to the Coast Guard, the tanker that struck the bridge was carrying tallow oil. No pollution was reported, despite a six- to 12-inch rupture above the water line of the vessel near the port ballast tank, Coast Guard officials said.
The Maine DOT website describes the Sarah Mildred Long Bridge (SML) as "the critical back-up route in case of disruption on the Interstate 95 Bridge. SML carries crucial commercial traffic along the U.S. Route 1 Bypass, including movement of people and goods to the Navy Shipyard in Kittery, which employs 4,200 workers."
The cost of replacing the bridge is estimated at $170 million.

What Valve realized is that playing a game is only one part of the overall customer experience; the experience of discovering and buying the game matters as well, as does the installation and upgrade process. Moreover, these customer pain points were developer pain points as well; the original impetus to develop Steam, for example, was the difficulty in getting players to upgrade en masse, something that was essential for games in which players competed online. And, while Valve is a private company and has never announced Steam's revenue numbers, reports suggest the platform generates

Even that, though, pales in comparison to the iOS App Store: Apple took Steam's app store idea and integrated it with the platform, such that iOS users and developers had no choice but to use Apple's owned-and-operated distribution channel, with all of the various limitations and costs — 30%, to be precise — that that entailed.
Apple was able to accomplish this first and foremost because the underlying products — the iPhone and iPad — inspired demand in their own right , independent of applications. Apple had the users that developers needed to make money.
Second, the App Store, like Steam before it, really was a better experience that drove more downloads and purchases by end users. This meant that developing for iOS wasn't simply attractive because of the number of users, but also because those users were willing to buy more than they would have on another platform.
Third — and this applies to Steam as well — the App Store
Bata Fashion Red Sandals largest supplier for sale 2014 newest UsvqEt
; this led to more apps, which attracted more users, which led to more apps, both locking in apps as a competitive advantage and also ensuring that no one app had outsized power (leaving Apple free to restrict Steam-like competitors by fiat ).
This frames the two Apple announcements I noted above. Start with the news of $100 billion for iOS developers: that means that Apple has collected around $40 billion, and at a very high margin to boot.
Moreover, the vast majority of Apple's announcements were, if anything, about competing with those developers: the first new app announced, Measure , should immediately wipe out the only obviously useful Augmented Reality apps in the store. Apple also announced a new Podcasts app for Watch, update News, Stocks, and Voice Memo apps, and the only third party demos were about how one of the largest software companies there is —Adobe — would be supporting Apple's preferred 3D-image format. And why not! The implication of owning all of those high-value users is that, on iOS anyways, developers are cheap.
The Mac, though, is a different story: the platform is far smaller than the iPhone; that there remain a number of high quality independent software vendors supporting the Mac is a testament to how valuable it is for developers to be able to build direct relationships with customers that can span years and multiple transactions. Still, there seems little question that the number of Mac apps is, if not trending in the wrong direction, certainly not growing in any meaningful way; there simply aren't enough users to entice developers.
The first thing you need to know is the structure , or how to format your conclusion. After spending around four paragraphs outlining your argument, look back to your main claim. This is usually your thesis as stated in the introduction paragraph. A conclusion paragraph should begin with a restatement of your thesis to remind the reader of the overall purpose of the essay. However, never rewrite your thesis word for word. This is redundant and shows lack of creativity. Think of another way to put forth the same idea. If you have a complex thesis, shortening it in some way is a good idea for the conclusion.
Next, you want to summarize your main supporting points. You do not need to go into the detail you did in the body of the essay, but remind the reader how your proved your argument. You should also show the connection of all your supporting details.
Finally, you want to end your conclusion with a general statement that leaves your reader thinking about your topic even after the essay is over. Using a rhetorical question or relating the topic to a larger concept will push the reader to continue to think about the ideas you brought up throughout your essay. Other methods include connecting your argument to implications for the future or linking back to some idea used in the introduction, which brings a nice sense of closure to the essay.
Overall, the conclusion does not have to be a long paragraph. In fact, since you have already explained the specifics of your argument in the body, the conclusion should be much shorter and function more as a reminder of how you have proven your point.
Let's look at a quick example to help see the process of writing a conclusion. Imagine you wrote an essay to argue that all schools should require students to wear school uniforms. You have the introduction and all the body paragraphs written. Now it's time to conclude your essay.
First, look back to your thesis statement. Perhaps it looked something like this: 'Although school uniforms might seem like they restrict freedom of expression, requiring students to wear uniforms can help limit inappropriate dress, provide a sense of pride in school, and prepare students for the professional dress required in most careers.'
To start the conclusion, restate that idea, but remember not to write it verbatim. So for example, you might write, 'Instead of holding students back, school uniforms allow students to excel in many facets of school life.' This is a much shorter version, but still gets the main point across: that school uniforms are beneficial to students.

Now that you've restated the thesis, it's time to look at your body paragraphs and summarize the main point in each. The body of your pro-school uniform essay would have included a paragraph each on limiting inappropriate clothing, providing a sense of pride in the school, and preparing students for future careers. Each of these ideas should be summarized in about one sentence each. Again, do not rewrite anything word for word from an earlier paragraph; instead, rephrase the main points.
Finally, you'll end with a broad statement that leaves your reader thinking about your topic. You can come up with some implication for the future, like what the new generation of well-dressed students might be able to bring to the world. Or you can look back at your introduction and connect to how you began the essay. For instance, if you began with an (a short story) of a personal experience with uniforms, you can bring up that idea again. Or if you used a famous quote, remind the reader of why that quote is important. There are many strategies for writing an introduction, so whichever method you used, link back to it in your conclusion.
And now it's time for the , or the final paragraph that signals the end of this lesson! Remember, the conclusion is a very important piece of an essay. Without it, the reader is left feeling unsatisfied, unfulfilled, and maybe even confused.
To write an effective conclusion, first rephrase your thesis. Simplify it, but never rewrite it word for word. Next, summarize your main points from the body of the essay. You need not get into specifics here, just a short summary. Finally, end with a broad statement. This can make implications for the future, or connect back to an idea used in the introduction paragraph.

Monitoring and tuning the HTTP server instances that handle client requests are important parts of ensuring peak Enterprise Server performance.
Enable monitoring statistics for the HTTP service using either Admin Console or asadmin. In the Admin Console, the monitoring level (LOW or HIGH) has no effect on monitoring the HTTP Service.
With asadmin, use the following command to list the monitoring parameters available:
list --user admin --port 4848 -m server-instance-name.http-service.*
where server-instance-name is the name of the server instance.
Use the following command to get the values:
get --user admin --port 4848 -m server.http-service.parameter-name.*
where parameter-name is the name of the parameter to monitor.
Statistics collection is enabled by default. Disable it by adding the following property to domain.xml and restart the server:
<property name="statsProfilingEnabled" value="false" />
Disabling statistics collection will increase performance.
You can also view monitoring statistics with the Admin Console. The information is divided into the following categories:
The DNS cache caches IP addresses and DNS names. Your server's DNS cache is disabled by default. In the DNS Statistics for Process ID All page under Monitor in the web-based Administration interface the following statistics are displayed:
If the DNS cache is disabled, the rest of this section is not displayed.
By default, the DNS cache is off. Enable DNS caching with the Admin Console by setting the DNS value to "Perform DNS lookups on clients accessing the server".
The number of current cache entries and the maximum number of cache entries. A single cache entry represents a single IP address or DNS name lookup. Make the cache as large as the maximum number of clients that access your web site concurrently. Note that setting the cache size too high is a waste of memory and degrades performance.
Set the maximum size of the DNS cache by entering or changing the value in the Size of DNS Cache field of the Performance Tuning page.
The hit ratio is the number of cache hits divided by the number of cache lookups.
This setting is not tunable.
If you turn off DNS lookups on your server, host name restrictions will not work and IP addresses will appear instead of host names in log files.
It is possible to also specify whether to cache the DNS entries. If you enable the DNS cache, the server can store hostname information after receiving it. If the server needs information about the client in the future, the information is cached and available without further querying. specify the size of the DNS cache and an expiration time for DNS cache entries. The DNS cache can contain 32 to 32768 entries; the default value is 1024. Values for the time it takes for a cache entry to expire can range from 1 second to 1 year specified in seconds; the default value is 1200 seconds (20 minutes).
Do not use DNS lookups in server processes because they are resource-intensive. If you must include DNS lookups, make them asynchronous.
If asynchronous DNS is disabled, the rest of this section will not be displayed.
The number of name lookups (DNS name to IP address) that have been done since the server was started. This setting is not tunable.
The number of address loops (IP address to DNS name) that have been done since the server was started. This setting is not tunable.
The current number of lookups in progress.
The file cache caches static content so that the server handles requests for static content quickly. The file-cache section provides statistics on how your file cache is being used.
For information on tuning the file cache, see HTTP File Cache.
Number of Hits on Cached File Content
Number of Cache Entries
Number of Hits on Cached File Info

The Admin Console provides the following performance-related keep-alive statistics:
Connections Terminated Due to ClientConnection Timed Out
Max Connection Allowed in Keep-alive
Number of Hits
Connections in Keep-alive Mode
Connections not Handed to Keep-alive Thread Due to too Many Persistent Connections
The Time in Seconds Before Idle Connections are Closed
Connections Closed Due to Max Keep-alive Being Exceeded
Total Connections Queued: Total connections queued is the total number of times a connection has been queued. This includes newly accepted connections and connections from the keep-alive system.
Average Queuing Delay: Average queueing delay is the average amount of time a connection spends in the connection queue. This represents the delay between when a request connection is accepted by the server, and a request processing thread (also known as a session) begins servicing the request.
The settings for the HTTP service are divided into the following categories in the Admin Console:
When performing benchmarking, ensure that access logging is disabled.
If you need to disable access logging, in HTTP Service click Add Property, and add the following property:
name: accessLoggingEnabled
value: false
You can set the following access log properties:
Rotation (enabled/disabled). Enable rotation to ensure that the logs don't run out of disk space.
Rotation Policy:ime-based or size-based. Size-based is the default.
Rotation Interval.
On the Request Processing tab of the HTTP Service page, tune the following HTTP request processing settings:
Thread Count
Initial Thread Count
Request Timeout
Buffer Length
The Thread Count parameter specifies the maximum number of simultaneous requests the server can handle. The default value is 5. When the server has reached the limit or request threads, it defers processing new requests until the number of active requests drops below the maximum amount. Increasing this value will reduce HTTP response latency times.
In practice, clients frequently connect to the server and then do not complete their requests. In these cases, the server waits a length of time specified by the Request Timeout parameter.
Also, some sites do heavyweight transactions that take minutes to complete. Both of these factors add to the maximum simultaneous requests that are required. If your site is processing many requests that take many seconds, you might need to increase the number of maximum simultaneous requests.
Adjust the thread count value based on your load and the length of time for an average request. In general, increase this number if you have idle CPU time and requests that are pending; decrease it if the CPU becomes overloaded. If you have many HTTP 1.0 clients (or HTTP 1.1 clients that disconnect frequently), adjust the timeout value to reduce the time a connection is kept open.
Suitable Request Thread Count values range from 100 to 500, depending on the load. If your system has extra CPU cycles, keep incrementally increasing thread count and monitor performance after each incremental increase. When performance saturates (stops improving), then stop increasing thread count.
The Initial Thread Count property specifies the minimum number of threads the server initiates upon start-up. The default value is 2. Initial Thread Count represents a hard limit for the maximum number of active threads that can run simultaneously, which can become a bottleneck for performance.
The Request Timeout property specifies the number of seconds the server waits between accepting a connection to a client and receiving information from it. The default setting is 30 seconds. Under most circumstances, changing this setting is unnecessary. By setting it to less than the default 30 seconds, it is possible to free up threads sooner. However, disconnecting users with slower connections also helps.
The size (in bytes) of the buffer used by each of the request processing threads for reading the request data from the client.
Adjust the value based on the actual request size and observe the impact on performance. In most cases the default should suffice. If the request size is large, increase this parameter.
Both HTTP 1.0 and HTTP 1.1 support the ability to send multiple requests across a single HTTP session. A server can receive hundreds of new HTTP requests per second. If every request was allowed to keep the connection open indefinitely, the server could become overloaded with connections. On Unix/Linux systems, this could easily lead to a file table overflow.
The Application Server's Keep Alive system addresses this problem. A waiting keep alive connection has completed processing the previous request, and is waiting for a new request to arrive on the same connection. The server maintains a counter for the maximum number of waiting keep-alive connections. If the server has more than the maximum waiting connections open when a new connection waits for a keep-alive request, the server closes the oldest connection. This algorithm limits the number of open waiting keep-alive connections.
If your system has extra CPU cycles, incrementally increase the keep alive settings and monitor performance after each increase. When performance saturates (stops improving), then stop increasing the settings.
The following HTTP keep alive settings affect performance:
Thread Count
Max Connections
Time Out
Keep Alive Query Mean Time
Keep Alive Query Max Sleep Time
Max Connections controls the number of requests that a particular client can make over a keep-alive connection. The range is any positive integer, and the default is 256.
Adjust this value based on the number of requests a typical client makes in your application. For best performance specify quite a large number, allowing clients to make many requests.
The number of connections specified by Max Connections is divided equally among the keep alive threads. If Max Connections is not equally divisible by Thread Count, the server can allow slightly more than Max Connections simultaneous keep alive connections.
Time Out determines the maximum time (in seconds) that the server holds open an HTTP keep alive connection. A client can keep a connection to the server open so that multiple requests to one server can be serviced by a single network connection. Since the number of open connections that the server can handle is limited, a high number of open connections will prevent new clients from connecting.
The default time out value is 30 seconds. Thus, by default, the server will close the connection if idle for more than 30 seconds. The maximum value for this parameter is 300 seconds (5 minutes).
The proper value for this parameter depends upon how much time is expected to elapse between requests from a given client. For example, if clients are expected to make requests frequently then, set the parameter to a high value; likewise, if clients are expected to make requests rarely, then set it to a low value.
The only HTTP Protocol attribute that significantly affects performance is DNS Lookup Enabled.
This setting specifies whether the server performs DNS (domain name service) lookups on clients that access the server. When DNS lookup is not enabled, when a client connects, the server knows the client's IP address but not its host name (for example, it knows the client as 220.127.116.11, rather than www.xyz.com). When DS lookup is enabled, the server will resolve the client's IP address into a host name for operations like access control, common gateway interface (CGI) programs, error reporting, and access logging.
If the server responds to many requests per day, reduce the load on the DNS or NIS (Network Information System) server by disabling DNS lookup. Enabling DNS lookup will increase the latency and load on the system—do so with caution.
The Enterprise Server uses a file cache to serve static information faster. The file cache contains information about static files such as HTML, CSS, image, or text files. Enabling the HTTP file cache will improve performance of applications that contain static files.
Set the file cache attributes in the Admin Console under Configurations > config-name > HTTP Service (HTTP File Cache).
Max Files Count determines how many files are in the cache. If the value is too big, the server caches little-needed files, which wastes memory. If the value is too small, the benefit of caching is lost. Try different values of this attribute to find the optimal solution for specific applications—generally, the effects will not be great.
Hash Init Size affects memory use and search time, but rarely will have a measurable effect on performance.
This parameter controls how long cached information is used after a file has been cached. An entry older than the maximum age is replaced by a new entry for the same file.
If your web site's content changes infrequently, increase this value for improved performance. Set the maximum age by entering or changing the value in the Maximum Age field of the File Cache Configuration page in the web-based Admin Console for the HTTP server node and selecting the File Caching Tab.
Set the maximum age based on whether the content is updated (existing files are modified) on a regular schedule or not. For example, if content is updated four times a day at regular intervals, you could set the maximum age to 21600 seconds (6 hours). Otherwise, consider setting the maximum age to the longest time you are willing to serve the previous version of a content file after the file has been modified.
The cache treats small, medium, and large files differently. The contents of medium files are cached by mapping the file into virtual memory (Unix/Linux platforms). The contents of small files are cached by allocating heap space and reading the file into it. The contents of large files are not cached, although information about large files is cached.
The advantage of distinguishing between small files and medium files is to avoid wasting part of many pages of virtual memory when there are lots of small files. So the Small File Size Limit is typically a slightly lower value than the VM page size.
When File Transmission is enabled, the server caches open file descriptors for files in the file cache, rather than the file contents. Also, the distinction normally made between small, medium, and large files no longer applies since only the open file descriptor is being cached.
By default, File Transmission is enabled on Windows, and disabled on UNIX. On UNIX, only enable File Transmission for platforms that have the requisite native OS support: HP-UX and AIX. Don't enable it for other UNIX/Linux platforms.
Change HTTP listener settings in the Admin Console under Configurations > config-name > HTTP Service > HTTP Listeners > listener-name.
For machines with only one network interface card (NIC), set the network address to the IP address of the machine (for example, 22.214.171.124 instead of default 0.0.0.0). If you specify an IP address other than 0.0.0.0, the server will make one less system call per connection. Specify an IP address other than 0.0.0.0 for best possible performance. If the server has multiple NIC cards then create multiple listeners for each NIC.
The Acceptor Threads setting specifies how many threads you want in accept mode on a listen socket at any time. It is a good practice to set this to less than or equal to the number of CPUs in your system.
In the Enterprise Server, acceptor threads on an HTTP Listener accept connections and put them onto a connection queue. Session threads then pick up connections from the queue and service the requests. The server posts more session threads if required at the end of the request.
The policy for adding new threads is based on the connection queue state:
Each time a new connection is returned, the number of connections waiting in the queue (the backlog of connections) is compared to the number of session threads already created. If it is greater than the number of threads, more threads are scheduled to be added the next time a request completes.
The previous backlog is tracked, so that n threads are added (n is the HTTP Service's Thread Increment parameter) until one of the following is true:
The number of threads increases over time.
The increase is greater than n.
The number of session threads minus the backlog is less than n.
To avoid creating too many threads when the backlog increases suddenly (such as the startup of benchmark loads), the server makes the decision whether more threads are needed only once every 16 or 32 connections, based on how many session threads already exist.

UB clinic studies brain-stomach link
By Scott Scanlon
Refresh Editor
Are you the kind of person who loses it when you're caught in traffic?
Are you pretty good at solving problems but really bad when the problem is beyond your control to fix?
Do you internalize your frustrations – so much so that it has led to ongoing problems in your gastrointestinal tract?
Take heart, all you Type A personalities who answered yes to all of those questions. Jeffrey M. Lackner feels your pain, and he has spent the last decade searching for better treatment options for what bugs you.
Lackner, 51, a Denver native and "health psychologist," is director of the University at Buffalo Behavioral Medicine Clinic, part of the University at Buffalo School of Medicine.
"The clinic," he says, "is really designed to understand the relationship between behavior and chronic medical conditions, particularly painful ones: GI disease, low back pain, noncardiac chest pain, benign headache."
Lackner and clinic associates have spent the last 10 years, with support of the National Institutes of Health, studying how best to treat Irritable Bowel Syndrome, a chronic condition that afflicts up to 50 million Americans.
The clinic, along with Northwestern University, is on the front end of one of the largest clinic trials ever involving IBS treatment options. Those 18 and over interested in participating can call 898-4458. It's free and you can be compensated for your time. You must agree to be followed for a year.
Q. I've had people tell me, 'I had IBS 10 years ago and I'm horrified it's going to flare up again.' What is this disease marked by?
A. The symptoms can come and go over a long period of time. It's like any chronic illness, like epilepsy, or hypertension, or asthma or arthritis, problems that don't lend themselves to a simple fix.
The goal is to help patients manage it better, whether it's through dietary changes or medications or learning very practical, concrete skills to gain control.
We know physiologically that there is this two-way street between the brain and the gut. We know that when those brain-gut interactions are dis-regulated, problems can arise that can involve abdominal pain, cramping, diarrhea, constipation or both. We also know because those neuroconnections are a two-way street, you can actually recalibrate those connections by teaching patients different ways of thinking and behaving.
Q. If somebody has struggled with this, do you have a couple of suggestions?
A. One thing we're interested in is understanding how patients process information and what role that plays in increasing symptoms. We know that patients with IBS have a tendency to worry more intensely. When that happens, symptoms can flare up. So the goal is being able to kind of learn how to gain control of that process so it works for them, instead of working against them.
Q. Are we talking about meditation? Breathing exercises?
A. One set of skills is designed to teach people to break down physical tension and we do teach people very practical muscle relaxation skills, and the other is to reduce the mental tension that can disrupt brain-gut interactions, and that's why they're learning more about IBS or gaining control over worry or problem solving more effectively.
Q. What behavior are we talking about and what are the more effective ways of dealing with IBS?
A. Somebody who has a Type A personality, that can really be very effective in certain situations. That Type A personality might not be useful if you're caught in a traffic jam late for a meeting, because your body might only respond in a way that aggravates your symptoms. So being able to help patients understand how stressful events impact the way we think, which sets in motion a cascade of physical, emotional and behavioral reactions, is really important, and then using that information to be able to unlearn habits that get the best of patients.
One of our treatments emphasizes problem solving, which is kind of ironic because our patients are very good at problem solving. But where they sometimes struggle is in knowing where to solve problems and where to step back and say, "Hold it, there's only so much I can do to solve this problem. So getting a patient to be more flexible in adopting a problem-solving response is a really important skill that is part of one of our treatments.
But in another part of our treatment we emphasize the importance of learning more about symptoms, information and support, which is also very effective.

Manchester CrimeWatch: Derry woman accused of having stolen property
February 19. 2014 7:41PM
MANCHESTER — Police prosecutor Sgt. Stephen Reardon requested $1,000 cash/surety bail Wednesday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division for a Derry woman charged with theft by deception and receiving stolen property.
Natasha Dube, 27, of 14 Kilrea Road, is accused of having a stolen cell phone in her possession Oct. 28, 2013, and selling it at the Mall of New Hampshire.
Reardon told Judge Thomas Barry that Dube may be held on a higher bail on other charges in Rockingham County. He said she has almost 15 pages of unresolved charges from a number of agencies that cover a range of offenses that include thefts and forgeries.
Trial on the Manchester charges was set for March 26.
Name is not the same
Michelle Woodard, 26, of 58 Ash St., was in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division for the second day in a row Wednesday. On Tuesday, she was arraigned on theft charges and charges related to her initially telling police her last name was Demers.
On Wednesday, she was back in court on a seven-year-old matter when she used the last name of Homer. She had failed to appear at the Valley Street Jail to serve a deferred sentence on a charge of driving after revocation for Driving While Intoxicated.
A hearing on the matter was set for March 3, the same day as a probable cause hearing on Tuesday's felony theft charge. Bail was set at $1,000 cash/surety, which is in addition to the $2,500 cash/surety bail set on Tuesday's charges.
Accused of threatening girlfriend
Davina Smith, 23, of 475 Rimmon St., pleaded innocent Wednesday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to charges of simple assault and criminal mischief.
Smith is accused of telling her girlfriend that "she had better sleep with one eye open" and of throwing a glass vase belonging to her girlfriend on the floor, smashing it.
A police prosecutor requested a $1,000 cash/surety bail for Smith, whose record dates back to 2007 and includes 2011 convictions for assault and breach of bail. Trial was set for March 19.
10-year-old charge
Oscar Martinez, 41, of 556 Chestnut St., had failed to appear in what was then Manchester District Court on 2004 misdemeanor charges of Driving While Intoxicated and operating after suspension for reckless driving or DWI, as well as a violation of failing to use turn signals. Martinez had also failed to appear on a resisting arrest charge.
Although he had originally been released on personal recognizance bail, every time he failed to appear, bail was increased. It had reached $10,000 cash/surety by the time Martinez was arrested on the latest warrant and appeared in Circuit Court Wednesday.
Martinez hadn't gotten into trouble since the 2004 charges, so Judge Thomas Barry reduced the bail amount to $6,500 cash/surety, but added a number of conditions: continue living at 556 Chestnut St., no alcohol consumption, no driving until his license is reinstated, not going outside the state, and signing a waiver of extradition. Trial was set for March 26.
Alleged threat by phone
Bail was set at $1,000 cash/surety Wednesday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division for Robert Landry, 26, of 35 Hospital Ave., who is accused of threatening to slice his ex-girlfriend's throat during a phone call Jan. 15 about seeing their son.
A police prosecutor said Landry was convicted in 2011 of criminal threatening and stalking. The new bail may not be an issue, the prosecutor said, because Landry is being held for trial on a Driving While Intoxicated charge.
Trial on the criminal threatening charge was set for March 4, the same day as his DWI trial.

Track Santa Live
Early this morning I watched as Santa packed his sledge full of presents and set off on his annual world tour. You can also track Santa live on the
NORAD Santa Tracker
The NORAD Santa Tracker uses the Google Earth browser plug-in to show Santa's live position as he travels, bringing joy (and presents) to the world's children. As I write Santa has just set off on his journey and is being urged on his way by a pod of whales.
Merry Christmas everyone.

Stuff on an Android phone tends to pile up. We hardly ever delete photos, apps or text messages. SnapPea, a free app, came to the rescue.
SnapPea lets you control your Android phone from the Web. Instead of typing on a tiny virtual keyboard, you can make changes to your phone from a laptop or desktop.
The first step is to install SnapPea on your phone by searching for it in the Google Play store. Then go back to your computer and visit Web.SnapPea.com. From there, sign in to your Google account and tap "photos" to start deleting junk or download it to your computer. Tap "messages" to clean out old messages. Tap "apps" to delete apps you no longer want. Tap "contacts" to clear out old contacts or update them.
We got rid of a ton of stuff on our Galaxy S3. Who knew there were so many duplicate photos, dumb photos and embarrassing pictures? But it was even better getting rid of old text messages. We put a check mark next to each message exchange we no longer needed, tapped delete and poof, they were gone. Even better, we clicked "new message" from our computer to text message from the comfort of our roomy keyboard.
Beware User Reviews
Recently, we mentioned all the negative reviews surrounding the new "Plants Vs. Zombies 2." Turns out we've been had.
There's a band of consumers who hate what they call "freemium" apps. These are apps that start with a free download but soon offer game stuff for sale. Freemium haters give a high rating to all reviews that attack these games; this pushes negative reviews to the top. So for "Plants Vs. Zombies 2" all we saw were negative reviews. But game sites like IGN, Gamespot and Kotaku give the game an 87/100 score or 4.5 out of 5 stars.
This reminds us to be wary of all user reviews. You never know if the person providing the review is connected to a rival company, has an axe to grind, or is just unpleasant. The same applies to favorable reviews: are they the programmer's best friend, a sister-in-law, etc. At least on Amazon, some reviews are signed with a person's name, and you can check their other reviews. But we're leery of those, too. Bottom line: online reviews have become unreliable.
The Numbers Report
According to research firm Flurry Analytics, there are more than 700,000 apps. Here's how they're used:
Forty-three percent of the time is spent playing games, 26 percent social networking, 10 percent other kinds of entertainment, 10 percent on utilities (such as uninstallers or anti-virus programs), 2 percent news, 2 percent productivity, 1 percent health and fitness, 1 percent on lifestyle apps, and 5 percent on "other." ("Other" is a great bucket.)
Food For Thought
EatThisMuch.com is a nutritional robot. You tell it your goals, it produces meal plans. It tells you how much they cost, counts the calories and offers nutritional info.
If, like Joy, you eat like a rabbit, you can configure it for vegetarian or vegan offerings only. Let it know about your allergies. Decide whether you cook a lot or a little, whether you always eat "breakfasty" things in the morning, and how much protein, carbs and fats you want on average. Select from a list of favorite foods and list those you want to forever exclude. Joy went nuts excluding stuff from her daily plan: Dinner ended up being two cups of boiled beans.
Other sites like DiseaseProof.com go deeper into nutrition and give better advice, but the robot diet calculator is fun.
Apple Freebies
Apple is offering iWork, a program group similar to Microsoft Office. It's free for Windows and Mac, It's available but still in beta testing. What does that mean? It might have some bugs, probably.
To get it you first sign up for an iCloud account. Search the Web with the words "iCloud setup" and the instructions come right up. Once it's set up, you get a word processor, spreadsheet and presentation software similar to PowerPoint.
The word processing program is called Pages, and it's beautifully done. Everything you create takes place online, but you can drag and drop documents from Microsoft Word into Pages. We like the templates for r�sum�s, invitations, projects and letters. The PowerPoint-style templates in the Keynote program are great, too.
On an iPad, iPod Touch or iPhone, you can tap "Settings" and look for "iCloud" to use it for backup. We set it up on an iPad and it automatically started backing up our iPod Touch too. A really neat trick at iCloud.com is its ability to locate any Apple devices.

Korean company to buy Titleist, Footjoy
The company behind Fila shoes and clothing is taking a swing at golf, forming a foursome to purchase the maker of Titleist golf balls and FootJoy shoes from liquor company Fortune Brands Inc.
Korean investors led by athletic company Fila Korea Ltd. and Mirae Asset Private Equity plan to buy Fortune's golf giant Acushnet Co. for $1.2 billion. The purchasing group also includes the National Pension Service of Korea and Korea Development Bank.
Titleist is the top-selling golf ball and a leader in golf clubs, while the unit's FootJoy brand is the leader in golf shoes and also makes golf gloves and jackets, Fortune said.
The legions of golfers who tee up with Titleist balls and clubs won't notice any difference, Fila Korea spokeswoman Lauren Mallon said.
"We're going to stay consistent," she said in a phone interview.
Meanwhile, the deal is a major step in Fortune's plan to transform itself into a standalone liquor company. The company plans to separate its Beam liquor business and its home and security businesses into two companies later this year.
The buyers will keep Acushnet's headquarters in Fairhaven, Mass., and will retain the management team led by CEO Wally Uihlein.
Acushnet's revenue exceeded $1.2 billion in 2010, with nearly half of that coming outside the U.S., Fortune said. Operating income before charges was $80 million last year. Acushnet has about 5,000 employees.
"This just underscores the next chapter in the company," Uihlein said. "… We're a global company now. We already knew it, but now we're officially global. The last thing you want to be is U.S.-centric."
Uihlein's son, Peter, is the top-ranked golf amateur in the world. He won the U.S. Amateur last summer at Chambers Bay and earlier this week won the Ben Hogan Award as the nation's top college player. He is playing the US Open and British Open this year before returning to Oklahoma State for his senior season.
Fila Korea acquired the global Fila shoe and clothing brand in 2007. Fila Korea already has a foothold in golf, with a golf clothing and footwear line in Korea. But the acquisition of Acushnet makes the buyers a major player in the golf business.
"It really gives Fila Korea another entree to build a business in emerging markets with great growth potential," Mallon said.
Fila executives predicted strong growth opportunities in Asia for the golf brands.
Gene Yoon, chairman and CEO of Fila Korea, said the acquisition will add "a stable of premier world-class brands."
"With our extensive knowledge and reach in Asia, we believe that the Acushnet brands have incredible new opportunity for growth in the emerging markets in Asia," he said.
Fortune, which acquired Acushnet in 1976, expects to reap $1.1 billion after taxes and expenses when the deal to sell the unit closes this summer.
The company, based in Deerfield, Ill., announced late last year that it was splitting into three companies, keeping its liquor business led by Jim Beam bourbon, while shedding units that make Titleist golf balls, Moen faucets and Master Locks.
Fortune is the world's fourth-largest premium spirits business with brands that also include Canadian Club, Maker's Mark bourbon and Sauza tequila. The spirits business from its Beam Global Spirits & Wine subsidiary generated 2010 revenue of $2.7 billion in 2010.
"The proceeds from this sale will strengthen Fortune Brands' balance sheet and support strong capital structures for both Beam and Fortune Brands Home & Security as they look to the prospect of competing as independent companies later this year," Carbonari said.
Fortune said earlier this month that it had submitted filings with federal regulators as part of its proposed spinoff of its home and security business, which also includes MasterBrand cabinets.
Fortune Brands' shares fell $1.01 to close Friday at $63.88.

When was the last time you used a payphone? If you're like me, it was probably before you bought your first cell phone. Most of us don't remember anyone's phone number well enough to use a payphone these days. But all these phones are still lining public places around the country, some in booths, others attached to walls. The city of New York has a plan to make them useful again. Soon, about 250 phone booths around the city will have their phones ripped out and replaced with 32-inch touchscreens, reports the NY Post. The touchscreens — dubbed "smart screens" — will give relevant info about local neighborhoods and city information. Eventually, they may even make calls.
The screens will also give lists of nearby restaurants, local store sales, traffic updates, and safety alerts for the area, as well as the ability to access 311 online to file complaints or request city information. In the future, the touchscreens will be able to access email, make calls using Skype, and possibly act as Wi-Fi hotspots, though Internet access may be limited to on the screen itself.
Even cooler, the new screens won't cost New York anything to install or maintain. Current payphones bring in about $18 million per year for the city, but eventually these units could meet or exceed that number. They're built to be water- and dust-proof, and can be cleaned with a hose; third party companies are going to maintain them for a cut of profits (NYC will get 36 percent of ad revenue). If the pilot program goes well, all of the cities 12,500 payphones could be replaced.
Twenty-two-inch underground computer kiosks are also slated to replace phones in areas like subway stations. If you're planning to use a payphone in NYC, you might want to do it quick.

It's an indication of how quickly life moves for the lads of One Direction that their idea of ancient history appears to be 2012.
That's when Harry Styles — the youngest (and arguably dreamiest) member of this British boy band — was 18, an age he and his mates recall on their new album as though the memory were nearly lost to the mists of time.
"I have loved you since we were 18," they sing over strummed acoustic guitar in "18," as full of yearning as James Garner at the end of "The Notebook." "I want a love like you made me feel when we were 18."
The exaggerated emotion of youth? Well, duh — that's the business One Direction is...

A derogatory prepatory statement in a sentence used when telling someone something they should already know, but, in fact the author knows they do not.
As you know, gang leadership is run from the Prison Infrastructure.
by Marc Habel September 16, 2008
A preparatory statement used in a sentence to avoid giving offense. It assures the listener that he or she already knows the fact about to be mentioned and that the speaker is mentioning it merely to acknowledge its truth or to help make a point.
As you know, Warden, the gang's leadership is within the prison.

After falling 0.94% last week, the U.S. Comex gold futures rebounded 0.52% this week and ended at $1,723.60 on Tuesday. The S&P 500 index and the Euro Stoxx 50 index surged 2.05% and 3.39% this week. Crude oil futures have been especially volatile, surging 3.01% on Monday but falling 2.83% on Tuesday because of rapid development in the Middle East.
Gold surged on Monday as the market anticipated a solution to the U.S. fiscal cliff while Israel-Hamas fighting intensified. Gold price retreated on Tuesday as soon as there were some signs of a cease-fire. Situation there remains fluid and uncertain, underpinning the gold price.
The U.S. housing starts beat all estimates and rose 3.6% in October at an annual pace of 894,000. Ben Bernanke echoed in his New York speech today that residential investment could spur economic recovery and jobs growth. He warned that the fiscal cliff would throw the U.S. back into a recession and reiterated that the Fed's policy would remain accommodative until the economy shows a firmer recovery.
The Bank of Japan kept interest rate between zero and 0.1% and did not add to its monthly purchases of government bonds. Market expects that the BOJ will be under pressure to ease further in the December meeting which will happen three days after the Japanese Prime Minister election.
Gold investors are cheered by the report that the gold-backed ETP holdings reached a new record at 2,604.933 metric tons as of Nov. 19. India's gold import has rebounded by $2.5 billion during September and October, overcoming the rise in the import duty. Festivals and wedding seasons would continue to support Indian demand in the coming months. The U.S. SEC filings showed that Soros' gold holdings surged 49% in Q3 as prices rose 10.4% last quarter. The IMF also reported that central banks have added gold to their reserves continuously for 19 months.
Now that France has lost its triple-A rating a second time, the stake has been raised for the EU leaders to reach an agreement on the 2014 to 2020 EU budget and put Europe back on a path of recovery as the summit begins on 22 November.

NEW YORK (AP) — HBO says its streaming service is running again, although disappointingly late for many anxious fans of the "True Detective" series.
Most fans who tried to log onto the "HBO GO" stream for the Sunday-night season finale of "True Detective" weren't able to do so because the service crashed. HBO said Monday the service interruption was due to "an excessive amount of traffic" soon after the 9 p.m. Eastern start of the episode. Many viewers saw a spinning circle indicating the show was loading, but it didn't.
HBO had similar issues with its service last year surrounding episodes of "Game of Thrones."
Company spokesman Jeff Cusson (KEW-sahn) said Monday the service is now working.

Wow! Congrats on the Fett medallion. I read over at RS some got him too & a few are liking the exchange rate for the Euro. I wonder what the future will bring for medallions this convention year?
I wonder what the future will bring for medallions this convention year?
Each one corresponds to a different Japanese collectible, all vintage except for Luke which was 1992. There are a mix of item types plus the various manufacturers. It was a conscious decision to have a nice variety of each.On the back of the medallions there is a text description of the item, if it's part of a larger series as well as the name, manufacturer, and date.
Thanks to the authorization of LucasFilm, Boba Fett will have its version GOLD like the 36 other medallions (Celebration 4, Celebration Europe and Japan Celebration), here in preview has what it resembles:

I now want to see it, anyone know where I can lulz myself to death?
The UK's ads watchdog has slapped down the London Dungeon for running an animated ad on the tube which showed Mary Tudor, England's last Roman Catholic Queen, morphing into a flesh-eating zombie. The ad ran on digital billboards on the London Underground, with the text "New for 2010 Bloody Mary: Killer Queen At the London …
I now want to see it, anyone know where I can lulz myself to death?
Ad supervision should be limited to accuracy of product claims. Besides this old queen is REALLY old, and dead, so no false product claims are involved.
All these nanny agencies should be either eliminated or have their powers reduced, along with all those Waana-be-a-Plod community whatevers. No wonder government crippling the taxpayers of the UK.
Was looking for the "Click HERE to see the ad" link but you seem to have fortgotton to put one on.
Fine them for not going to church ha ha, wicked but genius none the less.
Blackadder and Baldrick always knew what to do about Brenda!
Flesh eating - literal belief in transubstancination when taking the eucharist.
Body of christ? No thanks, I've filled up on nuts
The zombie part could be aimed at an adherant of any given docterine...and keeping it topical... who does legitimately deserve sucession rights in supposed democracy?
Honestly. Really. Take our word for it.
The Anglican and Roman churches will be up in arms about it any time now... wait for it... wait for it...
Wait, come back! Look, women bishops!
..rebranding the Catholic establishment as flesh-eating zombies might make them more loved than with their secretive and paranoid paedophile profile image.
to call for playmobile
I don't quite understand the way this article concentrates on religion. And putting it in the title? This is a story about a scary advert. Why would Catholics complain, or even care? Did the writer grow up in Northern Ireland or some unevolved bit of Scotland where issues such as which branch of Christianity people believe in are even thought about?
Yeah, she killed a bunch of people. So did other monarchs, for various reasons. We should be glad that "Strangely, there were no complaints from Roman Catholics". Is that 'strange'? It reflects well on modern Britain, where we've thankfully left that sort of mumbo-jumbo behind.
The religious slant is in the ad - she most likely was not randomly selected to be a flesh-eating zombie of all things - there is a joke there. And that allusion to a Catholic being a flesh-eating monster would be offensive to some Catholics. Google "transubstantiation" for more details.
Not saying I'm bothered by it - just saying.
We've kind of had a few hundred years to get used to the heretic tag; to quote St. Jobs "Not that big of a deal"...
WTITA, because, well, really?
Why not? Works for me - we may as well get some benefit from those religious idiots.
"So even if she did have a taste for human flesh, it would have been cooked. Or at least smoked"
New keyboard time.
....er .....I'll come in and do that one again....
I wasn't expecting the Spanish inquisition.!!
Our chief weapon is ? anyone?
... millions didn't.
So, run that 'democracy/majority' thing past me again.
If their kids are scared by that, they won't survive 5 minutes in secondary school when they get there.
You're forgetting, Tron; 1 complainant = 50 million people. So, by that rationale, there were a total of 200 million people upset, offecnded, disgusted and mentally scarred by this advert.
Probably true. Two out of four isn't bad.
> It reflects well on modern Britain, where we've thankfully left that sort of mumbo-jumbo behind.
Yep, can't imagine the depiction of any other religous figure, some prophet say, where this would have even made the local paper.
Now I've got that song from "South Pacific" stuck in my head.
Mine's the one with the theater program in the pocket.
Just watched it.
Why is the Alton Tower 13 advert allowed? As that's far more shocking. Tree tenticals and loli... That kind of thing would be illegal if it was drawn.
Since I'm sure that everyone in Britain is perfectly well aware that Henry VIII didn't receive a miraculous vision from God telling him that the Catholic Church had fallen away from the truth, or that he came to this conclusion from deep study of the Scripture - but, instead, the Church of England was founded for purely political reasons, I don't understand why the people of Britain haven't, by now, returned to authentic forms of Christian worship.
If they feel there is something lacking about the Roman Catholic Church, they could always become Eastern Orthodox, or Protestants - instead of belonging to an imitation of the Catholic Church created by a tyrant - something that pretends to be a church, but is merely run by politicians.
I love the people who reported it because it "might" scare children.
Most children spend their weekends shooting zombies in games and are generally not as easily scared as most parents.
> returned to authentic forms of Christian worship.
And since that is Judaism without the eye watering penis+knife thing, plus bacon butties - why not go back to the original ?
