| Thread Pools | | 2008-07-09 08:22:43 | | Most of the executor implementations in java.util.concurrent use thread pools, which consist of worker threads. This kind of thread exists separately from the Runnable and Callable tasks it executes and is often used to execute multiple tasks. Using worker threads minimizes the overhead due to thread creation. Thread objects use a significant amount of memory, and in a large-scale application, allocating and deallocating many thread objects creates a significant memory management overhead. One common type of thread pool is the fixed thread pool. This type of pool always has a specified number of threads running; if a thread is somehow terminated while it is still in use, it is automatically replaced with a new thread. Tasks are submitted to the pool via an internal queue, which holds extra tasks whenever there are more active tasks than threads. An important advantage of the fixed thread pool is that applications using it degrade gracefully. To understand this, consider a web server ap... | | By: Free Download Books | | |
| | More misleading information about salt pools online. | | 2008-06-11 14:15:00 | | I did a search on Google (blogs) to see if my blog was showing up...it is and so is a lot more.The first link after mine in the search results is this one.http://www.today.com/view/saltwater-pools-an-economic-and-environmentally-friendly-option/id-2141029/Looks like the site name is Today.com The title of the article is:Saltwater Pools - An Economic and Environmentally Friendly Option(We already know that's wrong.)They blow all their credibility in the first three lines..."For years, chlorine pools have been the most popular type of pool to own. But these days, saltwater swimming pools are gaining in popularity for a number of reasons. They’re easy, they’re budget friendly, and they’re more environmentally safe than chlorinated pools."ummmmm ok class once again....the salt we put in the pool is converted to the same chlorine we always used but now we make it ourselves.OH MY!it gets worse!"Saltwater swimming pools are lower in chemicals, meaning those who own them don’t have to ... | | By: Tales of Swimming Pool Man | | |
| | Singapore Pools give me $$$ | | 2008-05-30 01:16:00 | | Yup not alot but enough to cover me for what I had spend to buy "Scratchit!". During lunch today when over to the SingPost NTUC with the rest of my lunch kakis and got introduce to this new game by them. Feeling abit lucky I decided to buy $5 but then later change my mind to buy $10 instead (and I am glad I change my mind).Bought the 10 coupons went back office and started scratching them and man am I sad when after the 7th coupon I only won $1 (still a $9 lose). Luckily when scratching the last coupon I got $10!!! Am I lucky or what! For the rest of my lunch kakis well everyone won something although some not able to cover back what they had spend. So end of the day got a profit of $1 which I wonder what I can spend it on... And if you are looking for the thrill of winning and not wanting to lose lots of money just to feel this thrill can give "Scratchit!" a try. Just spend about $10 and you can have a 1 in 10 chance of getting a win. :)----------------------------------------To be or... | | By: Boleh! Boleh! | | |

| Swimming Pools Updated | | 2008-05-25 07:34:53 | | Back in February, 2008 I published a post about the swimming pools in Singapore. I listed the pools around Singapore that have toddler and teaching pools. This is very useful if you don't live in a condo and need to find a convenient pool.One of the pools we like to visit is the School of Physical Education Swimming Complex on Evans Road. This pool was closed earlier in the year for renovations, so we were eager to visit again. We didn't notice any obvious 'renovations' to the complex when we visited last weekend-perhaps 'maintenance' is a better description as the tiles and paint are new. I also notices a couple of sun lounges which are definitely a new and welcome addition.Anyway, this pool is pleasant with a few palm trees and some grass surrounding the pools. It is right behind the hockey field so you can watch a game through the fence if you like. There is no toddler pool, but the teaching pool is shallow enough for my 4 year old to stand in but deep enough to have a proper swim i... | | By: SINGAPORE KIDS PLACES | | |

| | Sunday, March 23rd, 2008: Pools of sorrow, waves of joy in Helsingborg | | 2008-03-23 16:48:00 | | What I think:Firstly, it's with a heavy heart that I update you about John Aherne, the Irish tourist who went missing in Stockholm last Saturday night. John is still missing, and the Stockholm police revealed on Friday their fear that he may have drowned in a nearby harbour. The Local (Sweden's news in English), wrote: "Police conducted a dive in the Norra Hammarby area Södermalm in south-central Stockholm on Thursday and confirmed that something, as yet unidentified, has been found."Today, police conducted another dive - for five hours - which, sadly, proved inconclusive. A further dive is due to take place on Tuesday. Another long, worrisome wait.Police intend to contact the coastguard, and make use of their Remote Operated Vehicle to help with the search.Family and friends are praying that police fears are unfounded, and that John is safe somewhere else. And the online discussion forum on The Local, on which John's mate Karl is a regular, has been host to a number of John's fr... | | By: Mark Base - Helsingblog | | |
| | Swimming pool salt systems, chlorine generators, saltwater pools, salt water pools, sws | | 2008-02-10 13:25:00 | | Swimming pool salt systems, chlorine generators, saltwater pools, salt water pools, sws, no matter how you say it, I don't think I want one.It seems to me the potential for problems are too great.I've read enough on my fellow bloggers page, The Pool Biz, to wonder why anyone would want one.Assuming all he says is true, and I believe it is, because it all makes sense, not only makes sense, he backs it up with data to prove his points.So much information it would take hours and hours to read it all, so far I've come close to reading it all.Not one of his points has been challenged in a way to make me think he is wrong.I don't know who he is beyond "The Pool Guy" at his blog.He is, in my opinion, a champion of the swimming pool owner.He has no ads on his page, does not promote his own pool service business.The only thing he does on his blog is explain why salt is bad for you and your pool.Here is a short list of the things I have learned.Salt pools can cause some very bad staining.Salt po... | | By: Tales of Swimming Pool Man | | |
| | Swimming in public pools | | 2008-02-09 07:32:00 | | Personally I am all swimed out.There is little or no chance I would be swimming in a public swimming pool.I am talking about apartment, condo, hotel or motel pools.If you plan to swim in a public swimming pool, for the protection of you and your family there is one thing I would do.Every time without fail, test the water myself.Each day before any swimming starts, I would use my own test to see how the pH and disinfectant was reading.I would not under any condition swim in a pool that uses anything other than chlorine for the disinfectant, period.You can still get sick swimming in a pool that is perfectly balanced, the risk is much lower if it is in balance however. I would not swim in a pool that has small children swimming, those still using diapers. I don't care what kind of rubber pants or other method is being used to contain their accidents.You should buy and learn to use a pool test kit.The test strips would be my choice in this case.The directions are clearly marked on how to u... | | By: Tales of Swimming Pool Man | | |

| | Do Pools Help or Hurt Resale Value? It Depends | | 2007-07-19 03:31:00 | | I was reading this article by Freda Savana about pools and I thought it was good enough to share. There is a lot of controversey and questions about pools. Many sellers think they add value to the house. Many buyers are put off by the cost of maintaining them and keeping them in good repair. So what's the deal with pools anyway? Walter Molony, spokesman for the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®, says that pools can be "a double-edged sword" when it comes to a home's resale value. "For people who like them they are a plus, but for families with small children it may discourage them from a purchase," he says.After reviewing almost 30,000 home sales in Philadelphia from 1996 to 2003, NAR reported in 2004 that property values jump about 8 percent because of in-ground pools and fall by roughly 2 percent because of above-ground pools.If you have an in-ground pool that has been well-maintained and you live in a nice neighborhood, your pool will likely be an asset. If your pool is abo... | | By: Cherokee County GA Real Estate | | |
| | Hot swimming pools are new attractions to tourists in Tuba town Baluda | | 2007-06-17 01:50:01 | | TUBA, Benguet - The swimming pools with hot water established by private investors in recent years in this town adjacent to Baguio City have started as an attraction to local and foreign tourists, according to outgoing municipal mayor Jose Baluda.
He said that the increase of tourists only started early this year as a result of the eco-tourism campaign done by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo over the past five years in this western part of the Cordillera mountain ranges in northern Luzon.
Records show that prior to these swimming pools, the main attraction of the town some 230 kilometers north of Manila had been the world-famous Asin hotsprings and the Brown Madonna on the Rock cave chapel. (more…)
