text: 5 I love this album!! Unique, challenging and addictive!CaptainCumberland | 29/05/2007 | See all CaptainCumberland's reviews (9)If you like your music unexpected, restless and difficult then this is the stuff for you - the drums are all over the place, the pianist has a very "individual" harmonic palette, and the material is interpreted and arranged with no respect for convention - the results are absolutely superb, and this album inspires me as much today as it did on first hearing it abround 2 years ago - this album, and indeed all the albums by this trio of American thirty-somethings are in my regular listening list. Reid Anderson (Bass) is a real groovy player, who operates by feel, and creates a powerful undercurrent - and he has one of the best sounds in Jazz! On piano, Ethan Iverson is quite simply unlike any other pianist I have heard - I would call him the modern Thelonius Monk, although that's not quite right - suffice to say his unique style is immensely satisfying and well worth a listen. David King (Drums)is another unique player, with a light, restless touch that fills the record with rhythmic interest - he does not appeal to everyone, but he certainly appeals to me!Right now as I write this I'm listening to track 4, the wonderful "Everywhere you turn" - a powerful, piano led groove, that manages to be incredibly chilled despite it's big sound and busy drums - SUPERB!Many of you may have noticed that the band cover "Smells Like Teen Spirit" on this album, and some of you may be appalled at the prospect - Nirvana fans will be spinning wildly in their metaphorical graves, and Jazz aficionados will be wondering where serious jazz musicians will find the meat in a grunge anthem? Well, as a massive Nirvana fan (I started playing guitar the year before Nevermind was released) who now plays jazz in a bebop quintet, I can safely say that it should please a good few from both camps! Although the original holds a dear place in my heart, I can honestly say that this cover honors it and presents an alternative arrangement that I absolutely love. Other covers attempted by the band on this and other albums include "Iron Man", "Heart of Glass", a couple of Aphex Twin numbers, "Knowing Me, Knowing You" and numbers by The Bee Gees and Queen.Overall, this is one for the acoustically adventurous, and one that will keep you entertained and intrigued for months if you make it past the first play! I can't imagine a world without a band like the Bad Plus in it, and I reckon you should check them out! By the way, if you get the chance to see them live, DO IT!! They love what they do, and put on an amazing show.

Conservation of Jan Toorops The print lover (Dr. Aegidius Timmerman)
The conservation treatment of Jan Toorop's painting The print lover from 1900 was recently completed in the painting conservation studio.
Before and after conservation (photos Rik Klein Gotink).
The painting probably underwent a wax/resin re-lining in the late 1980s / early 1990s, at which time it was also given a layer of varnish with a natural resin base. In the course of time the varnish has yellowed considerably. Furthermore, dirt was found under the varnish layer on the paint layer. This gave the painting a somewhat grimy appearance and detracted from the artist's original intention.
Detail during varnish removal: on the left the varnish and dirt has been removed, on the right it is still in place
Small cleaning tests revealed that removing the layers of varnish and dirt made a larger than expected difference and were, thus, crucial in the decision to remove the varnish completely. Toorop's pointillist painting technique is now shown to full advantage once again, because the fresh colours of the individually applied dots of paint stand out against the light background, both of which are no longer covered by a uniform greyish veil.
Detail after conservation
Unfortunately this painting displays a specific phenomenon, whereby its original beauty can never be restored completely. In the dark yellow and brown brush strokes, there is some discolouration. This is particularly noticeable in the lampshade in the top left corner of the painting. The light yellow dots seem unaffected, but the darker yellow dots appear to contain a cadmium yellow, which has degraded in the course of time. In the reddish brown dots, it seems to involve a degraded cadmium yellow mixed with madder. Besides the dark discolouration of the dots, the degradation has also made them highly porous and thus very matt in appearance. This matt/gloss difference remains visible to the observant viewer, even after conservation. Unfortunately, the degradation of the cadmium yellow is irreversible and as conservators we can do little more than consolidate the porous dots of paint to prevent actual paint loss.
Detail signature after conservation
Another remarkable aspect of this painting is that Toorop used the pointillist painting technique up to the blank edges of the depiction, except along the right edge. There – and around the signature – the depiction extends to the edge of the frame, but the colours are applied in flat brushstrokes and not the distinctive pointillist dots. Unfortunately, we have found no explanation for this.

Demerara Sugar - 1lb.
Country of Origin: Mauritius
Sugar milled in Mauritius is particularly special because it retains much of the flavor of the cane grown on soil rich with volcanic ash.
Demerara is a large-grained sugar with a relatively low molasses content, hence its paler color and milder flavor. It makes an excellent table and topping sugar. Use it blended with yogurt, in coffee or as a topping to caramelize the crust of your apple crisp.

Production Notes¶
This page details system configurations that affect MongoDB, especially in production.
MongoDB Management Service (MMS) is a hosted service that provides monitoring, backup, and automated deployment of MongoDB instances. See the MMS Website and the MMS documentation for more information.
Be sure you have the latest stable release. All releases are available on the Downloads page. This is a good place to verify what is current, even if you then choose to install via a package manager.
Always use 64-bit builds for production. The 32-bit build MongoDB offers for test and development environments is not suitable for production deployments as it can store no more than 2GB of data. See the 32-bit limitations page for more information.
32-bit builds exist to support use on development machines.
Operating Systems¶
MongoDB distributions are currently available for Mac OS X, Linux, Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit, Windows 7 (32 bit and 64 bit), Windows Vista, and Solaris platforms.
MongoDB uses the GNU C Library (glibc) if available on a system. MongoDB requires version at least glibc-2.12-1.2.el6 to avoid a known bug with earlier versions. For best results use at least version 2.13.
Concurrency and Storage¶
New in version 3.0.0: MongoDB includes support for two storage engines: MMAPv1, the storage engine available in previous versions of MongoDB, and WiredTiger. In 3.0, by default MongoDB uses the MMAPv1 engine.
Beginning with MongoDB 3.0, MMAPv1 provides collection-level locking: All collections have a unique readers-writer lock that allows multiple clients to modify documents in different collections at the same time.
Between MongoDB 2.2 and 2.6, each database has a readers-writer lock that allows concurrent read access to a database, but gives exclusive access to a single write operation per database. See the Concurrency page for more information. In earlier versions of MongoDB, all write operations contended for a single readers-writer lock for the entire mongod instance.
WiredTiger supports concurrent access by readers and writers to the documents in a collection. Clients can read documents while write operations are in progress, and multiple clients can modify different documents in a collection at the same time.
In most respects, recommendations for managing production MongoDB systems that use the WiredTiger storage engine are the same as managing any other MongoDB instance.
If you run mongod in a container (e.g. lxc, cgroups, Docker, etc.) that does not have access to all of the RAM available in a system, you must set the wiredTiger.engineConfig.cacheSizeGB to a value less than the amount of RAM available in the container.
The WiredTiger section has more information about WiredTiger in MongoDB.
MongoDB uses write ahead logging to an on-disk journal to guarantee that MongoDB is able to quickly recover write operations that were not written to data files before the mongod terminated as a result of a crash or other serious failure.
In order to ensure that mongod will be able to recover its data files and keep the data files in a valid state following a crash, leave journaling enabled. See Journaling for more information.
Use Trusted Networking Environments¶
Always run MongoDB in a trusted environment, with network rules that prevent access from all unknown machines, systems, and networks. As with any sensitive system dependent on network access, your MongoDB deployment should only be accessible to specific systems that require access, such as application servers, monitoring services, and other MongoDB components.
By default, authorization is not enabled and mongod assumes a trusted environment. You can enable security/auth mode if you need it.
See documents in the Security Section for additional information, specifically:
For Windows users, consider the Windows Server Technet Article on TCP Configuration when deploying MongoDB on Windows.
Connection Pools¶
To avoid overloading the connection resources of a single mongod or mongos instance, ensure that clients maintain reasonable connection pool sizes.
The connPoolStats database command returns information regarding the number of open connections to the current database for mongos instances and mongod instances in sharded clusters.
Hardware Considerations¶
MongoDB is designed specifically with commodity hardware in mind and has few hardware requirements or limitations. MongoDB's core components run on little-endian hardware, primarily x86/x86_64 processors. Client libraries (i.e. drivers) can run on big or little endian systems.
Hardware Requirements and Limitations¶
When allocating hardware for an effective MongoDB deployment, consider the following:
Allocate Sufficient RAM and CPU¶
In general, databases are not CPU bound. As such, increasing the number of cores can help, but does not provide significant marginal return.
Use Solid State Disks (SSDs)¶
MongoDB has good results and a good price-performance ratio with SATA SSD (Solid State Disk).
Use SSD if available and economical. Spinning disks can be performant, but SSDs' capacity for random I/O operations works well with the update model of mongod.
Commodity (SATA) spinning drives are often a good option, as the random I/O performance increase with more expensive spinning drives is not that dramatic (only on the order of 2x). Using SSDs or increasing RAM may be more effective in increasing I/O throughput.
Avoid Remote File Systems¶
- Remote file storage can create performance problems in MongoDB. See Remote Filesystems for more information about storage and MongoDB.
MongoDB and NUMA Hardware¶
Running MongoDB on a system with Non-Uniform Access Memory (NUMA) can cause a number of operational problems, including slow performance for periods of time and high system process usage.
When running MongoDB servers and clients on NUMA hardware, you should configure a memory interleave policy so that the host behaves in a non-NUMA fashion. MongoDB checks NUMA settings on start up when deployed on Linux (since version 2.0) and Windows (since version 2.6) machines, and prints a warning if the NUMA configuration may degrade performance.
See The MySQL "swap insanity" problem and the effects of NUMA post, which describes the effects of NUMA on databases. This blog post addresses the impact of NUMA for MySQL, but the issues for MongoDB are similar. The post introduces NUMA and its goals, and illustrates how these goals are not compatible with production databases.
Configuring NUMA on Windows¶
On Windows, memory interleaving must be enabled through the machine's BIOS. Please consult your system documentation for details.
Configuring NUMA on Linux¶
When running MongoDB on Linux you may instead use the numactl command and start the MongoDB programs (mongod, mongos, or clients) in the following manner:
numactl --interleave=all <path>
where <path> is the path to the program you are starting. Then, disable zone reclaim in the proc settings using the following command:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode
To fully disable NUMA behavior, you must perform both operations. For more information, see the Documentation for /proc/sys/vm/*.
Disk and Storage Systems¶
Assign swap space for your systems. Allocating swap space can avoid issues with memory contention and can prevent the OOM Killer on Linux systems from killing mongod.
For the MMAPv1 storage engine, the method mongod uses to map memory files to memory ensures that the operating system will never store MongoDB data in swap space.
Most MongoDB deployments should use disks backed by RAID-10.
RAID-5 and RAID-6 do not typically provide sufficient performance to support a MongoDB deployment.
Avoid RAID-0 with MongoDB deployments. While RAID-0 provides good write performance, it also provides limited availability and can lead to reduced performance on read operations, particularly when using Amazon's EBS volumes.
Remote Filesystems¶
The Network File System protocol (NFS) is not recommended for use with MongoDB as some versions perform poorly.
Performance problems arise when both the data files and the journal files are hosted on NFS. You may experience better performance if you place the journal on local or iscsi volumes. If you must use NFS, add the following NFS options to your /etc/fstab file: bg, nolock, and noatime.
Separate Components onto Different Storage Devices¶
For improved performance, consider separating your database's data, journal, and logs onto different storage devices, based on your application's access and write pattern.
This will affect your ability to create snapshot-style backups of your data, since the files will be on different devices and volumes.
Scheduling for Virtual Devices¶
Local block devices attached to virtual machine instances via the hypervisor should use a noop scheduler for best performance. The noop scheduler allows the operating system to defer I/O scheduling to the underlying hypervisor.
Write Concern¶
Write concern describes the guarantee that MongoDB provides when reporting on the success of a write operation. The strength of the write concerns determine the level of guarantee. When inserts, updates and deletes have a weak write concern, write operations return quickly. In some failure cases, write operations issued with weak write concerns may not persist. With stronger write concerns, clients wait after sending a write operation for MongoDB to confirm the write operations.
MongoDB provides different levels of write concern to better address the specific needs of applications. Clients may adjust write concern to ensure that the most important operations persist successfully to an entire MongoDB deployment. For other less critical operations, clients can adjust the write concern to ensure faster performance rather than ensure persistence to the entire deployment.
See the Write Concern document for more information about choosing an appropriate write concern level for your deployment.
Replica Sets¶
See the Replica Set Architectures document for an overview of architectural considerations for replica set deployments.
Sharded Clusters¶
See the Sharded Cluster Production Architecture document for an overview of recommended sharded cluster architectures for production deployments.
MongoDB on Linux¶
Kernel and File Systems¶
When running MongoDB in production on Linux, it is recommended that you use Linux kernel version 2.6.36 or later.
With the MMAPv1 storage engine, MongoDB preallocates its database files before using them and often creates large files. As such, you should use the Ext4 and XFS file systems:
In general, if you use the Ext4 file system, use at least version 2.6.23 of the Linux Kernel.
In general, if you use the XFS file system, use at least version 2.6.25 of the Linux Kernel.
Some Linux distributions require different versions of the kernel to support using ext4 and/or xfs:
Linux Distribution Filesystem Kernel Version CentOS 5.5 ext4, xfs 2.6.18-194.el5 CentOS 5.6 ext4, xfs 2.6.18-3.0.el5 CentOS 5.8 ext4, xfs 2.6.18-308.8.2.el5 CentOS 6.1 ext4, xfs 2.6.32-131.0.15.el6.x86_64 RHEL 5.6 ext4 2.6.18-3.0 RHEL 6.0 xfs 2.6.32-71 Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS ext4, xfs 2.6.32-38-server Amazon Linux AMI release 2012.03 ext4 3.2.12-3.2.4.amzn1.x86_64
MongoDB requires a filesystem that supports fsync() on directories. For example, HGFS and Virtual Box's shared folders do not support this operation.
Recommended Configuration¶
For the MMAPv1 storage engine, consider the following recommendations:
- Turn off atime for the storage volume containing the database files.
- Set the file descriptor limit, -n, and the user process limit (ulimit), -u, above 20,000, according to the suggestions in the ulimit document. A low ulimit will affect MongoDB when under heavy use and can produce errors and lead to failed connections to MongoDB processes and loss of service.
- Disable transparent huge pages as MongoDB performs better with normal (4096 bytes) virtual memory pages.
- Disable NUMA in your BIOS. If that is not possible see MongoDB on NUMA Hardware.
Ensure that readahead settings for the block devices that store the database files are appropriate. For random access use patterns, set low readahead values. A readahead of 32 (16kb) often works well.
For a standard block device, you can run sudo blockdev --report to get the readahead settings and sudo blockdev --setra <value> <device> to change the readahead settings. Refer to your specific operating system manual for more information.
For all MongoDB deployments:
- Use the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize time among your hosts. This is especially important in sharded clusters.
MongoDB Enterprise and SSL Libraries¶
On Linux platforms, you may observe one of the following statements in the MongoDB log:
<path to SSL libs>/libssl.so.<version>: no version information available (required by /usr/bin/mongod)
<path to SSL libs>/libcrypto.so.<version>: no version information available (required by /usr/bin/mongod)
These warnings indicate that the system's SSL libraries are different from the SSL libraries that the mongod was compiled against. Typically these messages do not require intervention; however, you can use the following operations to determine the symbol versions that mongod expects:
objdump -T <path to mongod>/mongod | grep " SSL_"
objdump -T <path to mongod>/mongod | grep " CRYPTO_"
These operations will return output that resembles one the of the following lines:
0000000000000000 DF *UND* 0000000000000000 libssl.so.10 SSL_write
0000000000000000 DF *UND* 0000000000000000 OPENSSL_1.0.0 SSL_write
The last two strings in this output are the symbol version and symbol name. Compare these values with the values returned by the following operations to detect symbol version mismatches:
objdump -T <path to SSL libs>/libssl.so.1*
objdump -T <path to SSL libs>/libcrypto.so.1*
This procedure is neither exact nor exhaustive: many symbols used by mongod from the libcrypto library do not begin with CRYPTO_.
MongoDB on Windows¶
MongoDB 2.6.6 and Later Using MMAPv1¶
Microsoft has released a hotfix for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, KB2731284, that repairs a bug in these operating systems' use of memory-mapped files that adversely affects the performance of MongoDB using the MMAPv1 storage engine.
Install this hotfix to obtain significant performance improvements on MongoDB 2.6.6 and later releases in the 2.6 series, which use MMAPv1 exclusively, and on 3.0 and later when using MMAPv1 as the storage engine.
MongoDB on Virtual Environments¶
This section describes considerations when running MongoDB in some of the more common virtual environments.
For all platforms, consider Scheduling for Virtual Devices.
MongoDB is compatible with EC2 and requires no configuration changes specific to the environment.
You may alternately choose to obtain a set of Amazon Machine Images (AMI) that bundle together MongoDB and Amazon's Provisioned IOPS storage volumes. Provisioned IOPS can greatly increase MongoDB's performance and ease of use. For more information, see this blog post.
For all MongoDB deployments using Azure, you must mount the volume that hosts the mongod instance's dbPath with the Host Cache Preference READ/WRITE.
This applies to all Azure deployments, using any guest operating system.
If your volumes have inappropriate cache settings, MongoDB may eventually shut down with the following error:
[DataFileSync] FlushViewOfFile for <data file> failed with error 1 ...
[DataFileSync] Fatal Assertion 16387
These shut downs do not produce data loss when storage.journal.enabled is set to true. You can safely restart mongod at any time following this event.
The performance characteristics of MongoDB may change with READ/WRITE caching enabled.
The TCP keepalive on the Azure load balancer is 240 seconds by default, which can cause it to silently drop connections if the TCP keepalive on your Azure systems is greater than this value. You should set tcp_keepalive_time to 120 to ameliorate this problem.
On Linux systems you can use the following operation to check the value of tcp_keepalive_time:
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time
The value is measured in seconds. You can change the tcp_keepalive_time value with the following operation:
echo <value> > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time
For Windows systems, issue the following command to view the keep alive setting:
reg query HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters /v KeepAliveTime
The registry value is not present by default. The system default, used if the value is absent, is 7200000 milliseconds or 0x6ddd00 in hexadecimal. To set a shorter keep alive period use the following invocation in an Administrator Command Prompt, where <value> is expressed in hexadecimal (e.g. 0x0124c0 is 120000):
reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\ /v KeepAliveTime /d <value>
Windows users should consider the Windows Server Technet Article on KeepAliveTime for more information on setting keep alive for MongoDB deployments on Windows systems.
MongoDB is compatible with VMWare. As some users have run into issues with VMWare's memory overcommit feature, disabling the feature is recommended.
It is possible to clone a virtual machine running MongoDB. You might use this function to spin up a new virtual host to add as a member of a replica set. If you clone a VM with journaling enabled, the clone snapshot will be valid. If not using journaling, first stop mongod, then clone the VM, and finally, restart mongod.
Performance Monitoring¶
On Linux, use the iostat command to check if disk I/O is a bottleneck for your database. Specify a number of seconds when running iostat to avoid displaying stats covering the time since server boot.
For example, the following command will display extended statistics and the time for each displayed report, with traffic in MB/s, at one second intervals:
iostat -xmt 1
Key fields from iostat:
- %util: this is the most useful field for a quick check, it indicates what percent of the time the device/drive is in use.
- avgrq-sz: average request size. Smaller number for this value reflect more random IO operations.
To make backups of your MongoDB database, please refer to MongoDB Backup Methods Overview.

Ok here is the synopsis:
It is 1964, you have an impending war in Asia, you know it is not going to sell well and you have re-introduced the draft.
Your country has committed to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade and time is a wastin'.
The pundents are saying it can't be done but the Russians are way ahead of you in the space race...it is now more a matter of national pride and you are already halfway through the decade.
You are told it can't be done by your scientists and NASA due to the Van Allen's Belt, but you are very aware of the fact the Russians are ahead of you in the race for space.
It is suggested that you fake the Moon Mission. The Rocket is being built in compartmentalized areas of NASA and is overseen by NSA and the rest of the Alphabet agencies but once again it is all compartmentalized.
The plan: Launch a unmanned mission to the moon with some space junk (that can be seen via specialized telescopes)launched from earth orbit and fake the moon landing telecast while you astronauts orbit the earth also. Thus making most of the people at the lower levels of security believe the mission is genuine like the population of the world.
You do this by live broadcast the script of which is expertly written by your "special people" and have it directed and produced by a proven Movie Director.
Here is the hypothetical question part:
If you could do this and pull it off, who, given the time (the 1960's) would you ask to direct the filming of the fake lunar landing and why??
And would, do you think the director you nominated do it??
When I get a few answers I will give you mine.

Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
The no-assembly-required Dirt Devil Quick-Power worked fairly well at sucking up pet hair and cleaning bare floors. While its the cheapest unit in our test, it didn't do a great job getting embedded dirt out of carpeting and it didn't offer as much suction at the hose as we'd like. In general, it wasn't able to keep up with other lightweight models. The handle folds down for easier storage.

Staktek Uses FloTHERM Thermal Simulation Software to Optimize Memory Stack Design
August 2004
Staktek, a leading supplier of high-density memory stacking solutions, is using FloTHERM thermal simulation software to ensure that innovative new products meet thermal management requirements. Thermal performance is critical to the design of Staktek's products, which double, triple or quadruple memory in the same physical footprint as the underlying packaged component. One of the company's most important design challenges is ensuring that the stacked packages have superior thermal performance.
In a typical example, Staktek engineers recently examined a new design concept that reduces the height of a memory stack. "We modeled the new design in FloTHERM to obtain the junction temperatures of the devices in the stack," said Mark Wolfe, Product Development Engineer for Staktek, Austin, Texas. "Using our FloTHERM model we evaluated several ideas to thermally improve the performance of the low profile stack. We found that by making some minor modifications to the stack that we could equal the thermal performance of the low profile stack with our baseline design."
Wolfe said that thermal management has become a more challenging task to the company over the last several years. "In the past, Staktek primarily designed our stacked memory solutions around TSOP packages. The TSOP package geometry is standardized so Staktek didn't have to worry about many packaging variations. More recently, memory manufacturers have shifted to using chip scale packages. The CSP packages that we work with today have a wide range of different package sizes, ball patterns, and packaging materials, all of which change the thermal performance. Using empirical methods for thermal design on all of these packages would be time-consuming and expensive. With FloTHERM we can quickly model the stacked product, accurately simulate its thermal performance, and then just as quickly evaluate any design changes that may be needed to improve thermal performance. One major advantage of FloTHERM is that our customers use it, so they are familiar with the software and can accept our models for use in their system-level simulations.
In another recent example, Staktek evaluated the effects of changing the material of the heat spreaders used in their stacks. Staktek wanted to create a lightweight stack by using lower density heat spreaders, but they were concerned about the thermal costs associated with the change. The FloTHERM model enabled Staktek to quickly determine the thermal penalty associated with the lightweight stack concept. "Our analysis showed that the junction temperature rise was within our target window. FloTHERM gives us the analytical information we need to make decisions," Wolfe said.

Want more? Choose from other designs.
Great product and well-packaged. Got a sticker cover for my Q10. Pretty happy that these guys offer such things for my phone, as it's not so well supported elsewhere. I really love the design, and it fits very well. I like that it also includes a background screen that matches very well with the cover. The shipping charge is very reasonable, and it comes in a hard envelope that is very difficult to fold. I'm very happy with these guys.Justin Cameron, Hong Kong

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I had a nipple-sparing mastectomy last year. Do I need to have mammograms because of the nipple sparing? I have seen reference to this in clinical practice guidelines, but I think they mean if you only had one breast removed.
Kevin R. Fox, MD, Assistant Director, Clinical Affairs and Associate Professor of Hematology/Oncology at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
Your assumption is correct. Mammograms serve no purpose after bilateral mastectomy, even with nipple sparing. For you, a good clinical exam and review of your health or any symptoms suffices.
This is not the case for women who only had one breast removed, as they should continue to have mammograms on the remaining breast.
Apr 2, 2010 - In breast cancer patients, adjuvant radiotherapy receipt is consistently high after breast-conserving surgery but lower after mastectomy, even in patients for whom the treatment is strongly indicated, and surgeon involvement is a major influence on radiotherapy receipt, according to a study published online March 29 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

If you asked me where most of the world's pumpkin supply was grown I'd say it was within 10 square miles of my front door. Evidently, I would be wrong. The town of Morton, (near Peoria) Illinois, is the self-proclaimed Pumpkin Capital of the World. They claim to grow almost 90% of all pumpkins grown in the US of A. I'm sure they must be correct. I mean, after all, they wouldn't have the gourds to make stuff up, right? ;-)
I still have my doubts. We seem to be in pumpkin central. You can't drive in any direction from my house without passing a pumpkin patch or roadside stand. I might have gone a little overboard myself. It started with Halloween decorating. First it was the Jack O'Lantern pumpkins. Just a few (few being 6). Then a nice sized sugar pumpkin (for "putting aside"). Then somehow our Jack collection grew to a dozen, although some were just mixed into the mums around the house and driveway (and many were not even carved). Then I just had to have at least a dozen smaller sugar pumpkins to place on the front porch railings (in exactly even spaces- I may have gotten carried away). It was 2 straight weeks of pumpkin heaven.
And then comes November 1st. I tried to convince Grumpy that pumpkin means fall; it's not just a Halloween deco. First, he got rid of the Jack O'Lanterns. Then he started giving the hairy eyeball to the big, uncarved pumpkins mingling (hiding in terror) among the mums. Finally he wanted to take down my sweet pumpkin menagerie from the porch! Time for a compromise. I convinced him that the porch pumpkins should stay until after Thanksgiving, and agreed to process (put aside) or dispose of the rest.
So…it started with selections. Anything that didn't make the "cut" was taken out to the woods for the enjoyment of the wood fairies. Then the real cutting happened. Two good sized pumkins were selected: a sugar pumpkin for canning and a Jack was set aside for more savory dishes. That Jack was a Beast! I scooped, cleaned, sectioned, peeled and cubed like crazy. Roasted just a small batch of seeds this year as we really just pick at them. The rest always go out to the birds, who might not appreciate the sodium. Half of Jack went into the freezer for future use (maybe some ravioli, rissoto, etc). I chose freezer for the savory pumpkin as it should have a bit more texture. The rest of Jack was destined for pumpkin soup.
I wasn't in a "find a recipe" mood, more like a "just wing it" mode, but here's the scoop: I sauteed a small chopped onion in a bit of butter (a bit= a hunk). Then I added the pumpkin, chicken stock to cover (it's actually floating in the photo), 3 Bay leaves, 1 tsp dried thyme and 1/2 tsp rosemary. This was cooked until the pumpkin was soft. I removed the Bay leaves, used a stick mixer (wand?) to whip it silky smooth. Then I added some heavy cream; about a cup. Then a good grind of pepper.
Then, just for fun, I swirled a tiny bit of cream in the center of the bowl when I served it to my unsuspecting tasters. The survey says: PJ says it's "not bad", Avery declined to participate (she's 14, sigh), Grumpy and Syd gave it 2 thumbs up (Bailey was not home). My opinion: it can't hold a candle to pumpkin rissoto, but it's still a very tasty fall soup. So this one will be a keeper.

What happened to iGoogle?
iGoogle was retired on November 1, 2013. The mobile version was retired on July 31, 2012.
How did you come to this decision?
We originally launched iGoogle in 2005 before anyone could fully imagine the ways that today's web and mobile apps would put personalized, real-time information at your fingertips. With modern apps that run on platforms like Chrome and Android, the need for something like iGoogle has eroded over time.
What will happen to the data stored in my gadgets?
All of your personal data stored in other Google products will continue to be available via those products, including Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Finance, Google Drive, Google Bookmarks, and Google Tasks. This means you'll still be able to access your emails, documents and events. Instead of accessing your data through the gadget, you'll need to visit the product directly.
Most iGoogle gadgets are created and maintained by third-party developers. If you'd like to export your data, you should contact the gadget creator directly.
I really like iGoogle -- are there any other alternatives?
There are a number of desktop alternatives available. If you're a fan of Google Chrome, the Chrome Web Store provides a similar range of options like productivity tools and applications to check the weather. In addition, just like iGoogle, you can personalize Chrome with a theme.
For mobile devices, Google Play offers applications ranging from games to news readers to home screen widgets.

There are no words to describe how amazing this candle is. I know. It is just a candle. But I swear to you, once I lit it, a magical little genie appeared and transported me to a warm sandy beach, far far away, with the smell of coconut oil and sunshine in the air.
And then I opened my eyes, and found myself in my living room. Despite the minor moment depression when I realized I hadn't found a way to instantaneously travel to tropical locations, this candle has made me very happy. In fact, I plan on just asking for a case of them for my birthday. That is all I want. Unless someone can get me that little beach I was dreaming of.

Not scented at all
I was very disappointed when I lit this candle because I thought that it would smell wonderful! The problem is it barely smells at all. I basically feel that I paid for an unscented candle. Would not recommend.
