Please help me out. I can send and receive gifts all day, but I cannot send invites or visit other islands. I was able the first day, but not since. Everyone I open the social window, it tells me there is an update, do I want to restart. If I do restart, it gives me the same restart window when I open the social window...
I'm having his same issue. Only I can visit some friends but not others. I'm getting the same message when opening the social window with the same results. If anyone finds out anything please let me know. Hope this gets fixed soon. You're not alone.
Edit: Today I went to the App Store and realized my skylanders game needed to be updated from there. Previously I had just been hitting the okay button when I opened the game and it said "There is an update would you like to restart?". Apparently this doesn't work for my I-pad 2. I don't know if its something with my s...
I was having the same problem the last day or 2. Today I turned my iPad completely off and after the reboot, I stopped getting the error message and was able to visit friends again. Yay!
For most visitors to Mussoorie, the Mall is the beginning and the end. Most tourists take a walk or cycle rickshaw along the Mall, do a little shopping, perhaps take the ropeway up to Gun Hill, and enjoy a meal in one of the numerous restaurants along the Mall. But there is much more to see and do beyond the Mall, and ...
In this book we provide a step-by-step guide to each of the walks. This is needed because there are no signs that guide the way. Even most of the residents in Mussoorie would not know how to reach many of these remote places around Mussoorie, nor have they experienced the natural beauty of the area.
We constructed all the maps in this book using a global positioning system device, so they are all to scale. At the front of the book we provide a master map that covers all of the 22 walks. For each walk, we then provide a section of the master map pertaining to the specific walk, along with the route for the walk its...
All of the walks in this book can be completed within a day. We begin with two short walks (~ 1 h) to help visitors acclimatise to the altitude and then three longer (~4 h) but relatively easy walks to familiarise them with the geography and topology of greater Mussoorie beyond the Library to the west and beyond the Pi...
The terrain around Mussoorie is steep, so some of the walks are quite strenuous. So take it easy for the first few days until you get your ‘mountain legs’. The times we have set aside for the walks include time for dawdling, lunch and admiring the views. We hope you come to love this place like we do!
"As regular visitors to Mussoorie, we've often thought it would be really helpful if we could get practical advice on the many possible walks around. It was wonderful to discover that someone has put in the effort and come out with a book that is so nicely done, with all the walk routes detailed and easy to follow." Sh...

I spend a good portion of my time at Docker talking to community members with varying degrees of familiarity with Docker and I sense a common theme: people’s natural response when first working with Docker is to try and frame it in terms of virtual machines. I can’t count the number of times I have heard Docker contain...
I get it because I did the exact same thing when I first started working with Docker. It’s easy to connect those dots as both technologies share some characteristics. Both are designed to provide an isolated environment in which to run an application. Additionally, in both cases that environment is represented as a bin...
The key is that the underlying architecture is fundamentally different between the two. The analogy I use (because if you know me, you know I love analogies) is comparing houses (VMs) to apartment buildings (containers).
Apartments (the containers) also offer protection from unwanted guests, but they are built around shared infrastructure. The apartment building (Docker Host) shares plumbing, heating, electrical, etc. Additionally apartments are offered in all kinds of different sizes – studio to multi-bedroom penthouse. You’re only re...
With containers, you share the underlying resources of the Docker host and you build an image that is exactly what you need to run your application. You start with the basics and you add what you need. VMs are built in the opposite direction. You are going to start with a full operating system and, depending on your ap...
I’m sure many of you are saying “yeah, we get that. They’re different”. But even as we say this, we still try and adapt our current thoughts and processes around VMs and apply them to containers.
To me the light bulb moment came when I realized that Docker is not a virtualization technology, it’s an application delivery technology. In a VM-centered world, the unit of abstraction is a monolithic VM that stores not only application code, but often its stateful data. A VM takes everything that used to sit on a phy...
Certainly patches will still be part of your world, but they aren’t applied to running containers. In reality if you patched a running container, and then spun up new ones based on an unpatched image, you’re gonna have a bad time. Ideally you would update your Docker image, stop your running containers, and fire up new...
Your application server translates into a service run inside of a container. Certainly there may be cases where your microservices-based application will need to connect to a non-containerized service, but for the most part standalone servers where you execute your code give way to one or more containers that provide t...
I often have people ask me how to run huge monolithic apps in a container. There are many valid strategies for migrating to a microservices architecture that start with moving an existing monolithic application from a VM into a container but that should be thought of as the first step on a journey, not an end goal.
As you consider how your organization can leverage Docker, try and move away from a VM-focused mindset and realize that Docker is way more than just “a lightweight VM.” It’s an application-centric way to deliver high-performing, scalable applications on the infrastructure of your choosing.
When you say, the data doesn't live in the container, but externalised to a "named volume", what do you mean?? Could you please help clarifying couple of questions I have? Thanks in advance.
1) What is "named volume"?? Is it something like In-Memory Data grid or Distributed Cache??
2) How to treat embedded Tomcat/Undertow/Jetty containers packaged as libraries with Spring Boot? Are they similar to Docker??
It took me some time to distinguish completely between docker and VM. So, now that I’m convinced with the advantages of docker against VM, I’m confronted with docker machine. Isn’t docker machine against the paradigm of docker?
Docker machine is a tool to provision a host (virtual or physical) that is running docker.
Once docker is running somewhere, you can fire up containers.
Many images on the hub however make these mistakes, and I would like to see clear guidelines and best practices for good, clean images. Many have ssh (use docker exec if you really need to), logger daemon (mount /dev/log in your container), cron (run externally please), database instances (run externally please), … bui...
There are multiple approaches to improve this. One would be to create separate ‘image’ and ‘application stack’ indexes. Another would be to add the ability to host a default docker-compose file with each image to spin up a working instance of the application stack.
Doesn’t matter how it’s done, but adding a standard way to pull such a complete application stack in docker or docker-compose would be required in my opinion. A simple “docker-compose get myname/someimage:sometag” to fetch that image’s docker-compose file and pull all required images would make this easier to use.
Distributing docker-compose with docker would make this even better, but the python dependency might make this a bit tricky if we’re talking about non-*nix platforms.
I totally agree with you. There should be a docker-compose-hub and it would be even better if docker-compose was, indeed, distributed with Docker.
I think your premise is spot on. Containers are not VMs. This is becoming increasingly apparent in monitoring. You have to monitor the performance profile of a container in a different way than a VM. You can’t just stick performance monitor probes on a host and expect to get information that is directly relevant to the...
This runs counter to Solomon’s keynote at DockerCon SF in 2015 where he mentions the legacy of Jails and Zones, right? In those models of OS Virtualization, you are getting all of the utilities and isolation as well (ELA4 DOD certification on Solaris Zones).
The only reason you don’t get that is in Linux is that the Linux kernel didn’t build in robust isolation or the ability to have a unique network per container. However, it sounds like the Windows Docker implementation will include many of those features, if I am not mistaken.
Maybe it is best to remove that part of the analogy?
Describing containers as ‘lightweigth vm’s’ makes it easy to explain to the less technical (mgmt). They can grasp the VM technology and know what it is by now. Then you have a basic understanding you can build your story on by saying which advantages containers bring to the table compared to a traditional VM.
Containers are not apartments. Containers are hotel rooms. You get one any time you need, configured the way you ask. Two beds – no problem. One bed – no problem. You bring all your crap with you in suitcases, and take it all out with you when you leave. If the room doesn’t suit your needs, you don’t just ask for anoth...
I like the hotel room analogy, which exemplifies "nestedness", "sharedness", and the "customize vs discard" trade-offs.
So then the metaphor for Function-as-a-Service (e.g. AWS Lambda) would be a closet?
I’ve always seen Containers as VMs before. But when a Container ideally is stateless, where is data stored? If I have a PHP app that uses MySQL, do I run it within two containers? One PHP/Apache and one MySQL? But then the data is within the MySQL container. Furthermore, the Application server might save data as well o...
To me containers are not that much different from VMs. From a purely technical perspective, a (Linux) container, much like a VM, is just a means to isolate one or more computational processes and run them on shared hardware. Even if consider the immutable/ephemeral containers (which are not a bad idea at all), what is ...
Another thing I don't really like about the article is that the docker folks are somehow putting themselves into a position to define the general term container, which I think is not right. I think that when someone says "containers", people usually get this as "Linux containers". It was not Docker who invented and imp...
That is my thought exactly.
Container is not a VM.
VMs are not the model for Docker containers. Docker containers are modeled on Unix processes (including daemons). This point should be belabored in the introductory Docker documentation but it is not, presently.
If you and your team create your own Docker images, you need to take the time to understand the relationship between Docker containers, PID 1, and Unix signals to ensure your Docker containers fit into the intended architecture of Docker.
"To me the light bulb moment came when I realized that Docker is not a virtualization technology, (…)"
Thanks for this write-up. I'm still learning, but so far, Docker containers remind me of something like a Mac OS X app bundle, rather than a VM.
I have a fundamental question here, though containers optimally utilizes the resource, we we go for the deployment say in AWS, we need to first opt for the instances and its capacity. In this context do I get any advantage for adopting to containers. Because it sounds me that, based on my capacity planning if i require...
Thanks for the write up. It really clarified the differences as I'm sitting here running docker and a VM for cross compiling and trying to understand the two.

This throne is perfect! I had a spinal fusion and needed a throne that would support my back. I have been using this throne off and on and love the design and how it feels when I sit. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone that has a back problem or who has had surgery. I see other famous drummers using th...
After 30 plus yrs of playing i ended up with back issues. I have 2 bulging discs and spinal stenosis and i thought i was gonna have to give up playing but after doing some research and purchasing The Carmichael Drum Throne , im still at it 2.5 yrs after being diagnosed with back issues. This drum is absolutely amazing ...
This Drum Throne is AMAZING!
I broke my Back and Neck in a Helicopter Crash while serving in the Army. I had to learn how to walk all over again. I had problems sitting or standing for long periods of time. My legs would go numb after only a few minutes behind the Drumset. Now I am Blessed to be able to enjoy Music once again. Dan Thank You So Muc...
Game changer love it..no more 3 set back pain and ballance for days!!
After having had a spinal fusion in the lumbar area, I found that using my Roc N Soc Throne did not provide the specific support I needed. It essence, it was too plush. I realized that every time I raised my right leg, even slightly, to play my bass drum, it tipped my spine to the left. Although my major back surgery w...

This is one of the most popular steaks we serve in our restaurant is the famous “New York Strip”. Robust in flavor, our beautiful strip steaks come from the heart of the loin, richly marbled and delicious. They are hand trimmed of unnecessary fat and boneless.
Your steaks will arrive vacuum sealed. They may be stored in your refrigerator this way for at least a week if you do not rupture the package. Opened packages will last in the refrigerator for a few days. Vacuum sealed steaks will remain good in your freezer for up to six months.
The thickness of the steak and style desired will determine the cooking time. Listed below are approximate total cooking times for a preheated oven. A hot gas or charcoal grill may take less time.
SIRLOIN - The famous ”New York Strip“, it comes from the heart of the loin, richly marbled and robust in flavor.
FILET MIGNON - Hand-cut from the tenderloin of specially fed mid-western steers, our filet mignon are carefully aged, fork tender and delicate in flavor.
RIB EYE - Highly marbled, tender and flavorful, this fine-textured meat comes from young, specially fed cattle. Cut from the rib, our bone-in rib steak is thick and robust in flavor.
PORTERHOUSE - Our hefty porterhouse is like two steaks in one: an extra large portion of delicate tenderloin (where filet mignon comes from), plus the heartier sirloin strip, juicy and marbled, on the otherside of the distinctive t-bone.
Congressman Phil Hare (D-IL), a member of the House Trade Working Group, today testified before the International Trade Commission in support of the Titan Tire Corporation and United Steelworkers' (USW) petition for trade remedies that will provide relief to the domestic tire industry from illegally dumped and subsidiz...
Last summer, the International Trade Commission (ITC) preliminarily determined that the domestic tire industry is being materially injured by these dumped and subsidized imports from China. In August, the ITC is expected to make a final determination.
"Unfair trade practices by the Chinese government are costing my district jobs and harming our already fragile local economy," Hare said. "I was proud to stand up today for the livelihood of this Quincy-based company and every single one of its workers."
Last year, the Department of Commerce preliminarily determined that the Chinese government was unfairly subsidizing Chinese tire producers up to over 20%. Similarly, early this year, Commerce made a preliminary affirmative decision that Chinese tire producers were dumping below-cost product into the U.S. market and ear...
"When the Chinese government tilts the playing field in such an egregious way, honest, hard-working Americans cannot compete," Hare said. "Titan and the Steelworkers aren't asking for a handout. All they want is a fair shot."
According to the latest CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll, 51 percent of Americans view foreign trade as a threat to the economy—the first time in a CNN poll that a majority of Americans report holding negative views on free trade. That compares with only 35 percent of Americans who felt free trade posed a threat t...
Reps. Donald Manzullo (R-IL), Leonard Boswell (D-IA), and Lincoln Davis (D-TN) also testified on behalf of Titan and USW's petition. The U.S. has lost 3 million manufacturing jobs since 2000. Our trade deficit with China is now over $250 billion.

For any activity or task to be done and completed successfully, one must be able to carefully manage time at the onset, in order to prepare for, or even avoid, glitches along the way. For any project, therefore, time management is very important. A project may seem smooth sailing at the beginning, but anything can happ...
What does proper project time management entail? It means creating a sound and stable schedule of activities and tasks that would lead to the achievement of a particular goal. Having a schedule ensures that your project gets done via the right steps. It also ensures that a project is finished at its designated time.
If something wrong happens along the way, the schedule can shift a little. But a sturdy one, one that you have committed to from the very start, will adjust to the glitches smoothly.
How does proper project time management help you?
By raising your output levels and productivity, you will have more time left to do more things with less effort. Keep in mind the Pareto principle: There are things that may be done with only 20% of effort, but can generate value worth 80%. Conversely, there are activities that require 80% of your energies to extract o...
2. It helps decrease, or even eliminate, wasted time.
One of the biggest time wasting factors is poor planning. Project time management helps you pick out which activities are truly important, in order to avoid having to procrastinate, engage in useless meetings and arguments and other unnecessary interruptions and distractions. Also project time management is what will f...
3. It helps you build up your performance levels.
How you perform is directly related to how much interest and energy you have for a certain task. Proper time management helps you achieve the level of concentration, motivation and focus to combat possible stressors along the way.
4. It helps you maintain fulfillment and balance.
Your long-term goals will be accomplished in a more balanced way through proper project time management. It helps keep your sanity grounded and your feet on the ground. It also helps keep your relationships sound and steady, without having to compromise the quality of your work. They say that work and play don't usuall...
