Farewelll Roma, Hello Tuscany
... spot where Julius Caesar's body was burnt after he was stabbed by the senators of Rome. Our tour over, we're sad to say good-bye to Rome and vow to be back. The bus takes us to Volterra and we stop for a lunch and loo break at the Autogrill. Italian equivalent of a food court it is a really healthy option; no fries and burgers.

A Day Early in Florence
... 8217;re feeling like we did the right thing to make this change. This afternoon we walked the streets of Florence, and visited the inside of Catherdral (Duomo). We had dinner at a small alley way restaurant – wine, salad, and ravioli with tiramisu. We walked down past the Uffizi museum to the river near the Ponte Vecchio. Our legs are sore from all our hiking yesterday so we made our way back to our temporary hotel and are settling in for the ...

We also needed to work out how we were getting there as this was probably the most difficult and vague transfer my pre trip research indicated. Strangely enough there was no ticket office by the bus station so we found the tourist office in the main square who were incredibly ...
We spent the morning reading our books while Elijah slept. I haven't gotten stuck into a good book for such a long time so I have been really enjoying that feeling of not wanting to put it down. Only problem is I only brought one along with and I have already almost finished it! Once Elijah woke up we decided to head into Volterra- a nearby town.

The downside of his new shoes, of course, is that they are not broken in yet. The others were giving him sore soles because the padding was pretty much gone, but these are putting a little pressure on his heel (although they fit well). He got a blister yesterday and has been walking gingerly today in spite of using moleskin. I figure it is just as well that we didn't go to Voltarro, or San Giminiano, or both (as we had planned). A day of rest was in order. ...

Hi all! So last year I planted 4 rhizomes- Cascade, Centennial, Sterling and Mt. Hood. The Sterling and Mt. Hood got to much water and never did anything, in fact I took them out of the ground because they were so soggy. I got about 2 ounces of Cascade hops and no Centennial.
For some reason the ditch I planted the rhizomes in flooded this year after 9 years of wet winters this never happened before. So now my rhizomes are under about a foot of sand and mud. I figured they were toast so I dug them up to find them completely soaked and falling apart.
THEN in the beginning of May, I just happened to look down there and what did I see? A CRAP LOAD OF HOP SHOOTS ABOUT 2 TO 3 FEET TALL!!! WTF!!! So even after the flood and the foot of sand and me ripping the rhizomes out of the ground Im gonna have a second year harvest. Amazing.
I'm planting for the first time this week, so an encouraging story.
i hear that once the roots are established it almost takes an act of god to get rid of them...i planted two rhisomes of centennials last year that did nothing on the surface...well the each put out shoots that made it about three inches and then quickly died back. i thought they were goners, but was suprised to see this year they are both already over three feet tall and growing quickly. these are amaizing plants.
dang, you guys are have quite a good growth on you plants!
-I'm not getting older, but the floor is getting further away.
Hops are hearty, Dont underestimste the hop! They have nothing to lose!
Got Hops?
There is no problem to big or small not to be fixed by enough beer!
Just do not have your beer held hostage by the wife or you will never get anything halfway done!

Kinect could bring touch-free interface to operating theaters
By Darren Quick
December 21, 2010
The development of open source drivers for Microsoft's Kinect motion-controller is already opening up new (if not entirely unpredictable) applications for the device. This example, developed by members of the Virtopsy research project at the Institute of Forensic Medicine at the University of Bern in Switzerland, is a functional prototype using Kinect that provides users with a hands-free way to review radiological images.
With software based on ofxKinect, libfreenect and open frameworks, the prototype uses a mix of voice control via a wireless headset and gesture control via the Kinect's 3D video camera to control OsiriX, an image processing application specially designed for navigation and visualization of medical images. The user can switch modes using voice commands and then navigate the images – zooming in or out and moving the view through a 3D image – using one or two-handed gestures.
While the focus of the Virtopsy project is to make use of new technologies to replace standard autopsy with minimally invasive procedures, such a touch-free interface also has obvious benefits for surgeons needing to navigate medical images in a surgery environment. Gesture and voice controls would allow them to maintain sterility by doing away with the need to directly touch any keyboards, buttons, joysticks or touchscreens.
With news circulating that Microsoft is also working on a firmware update for Kinect that would quadruple the resolution of its 3D camera from 320x240 to 640x480 pixels, it seems inevitable that the device will find more and more uses beyond its gaming roots.

After nearly 4 years of our little all local Art District boutique, Rakun is closing up shop and heading home. I'm returning to my roots in Kansas City, where I'll pop up at fairs and markets around town. It's been such an adventure, Denver! Thank you! To our loyal customers and talented maker pals, you will be missed....it's bittersweet to say goodbye after so much fun, but I'm excited for everything that is to come!
I'll be trading all that time I spent sweeping up and tending the shop for some serious studio time, too. Look for embroidery necklace kits, jewelry inspired by my travels around the world, and super cute retro swimsuits this spring!

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India's environment ministry approved South Korean POSCO's $12 billion steel mill on Monday, a boost for foreign investment and big ticket industrial projects in the face of strong environmental concerns and local protests.
Here are some questions and answers about the conditions imposed on the approval of the project, which has been delayed by three years by regulatory hurdles and local protests:
The world's third-largest steel company wants to set up a mill in the eastern state of Orissa to produce 12 million tonnes of steel every year. POSCO also has plans to build a 6 million tonnes-a-year plant in the southern Karnataka state and another mill to produce 3 million tonnes a year in central India.
But the Orissa plant has faced problems, and while a three-year wait for clearance from the environment ministry ended on Monday, other hurdles remain in the form of local protests.
The plant in Orissa is billed as India's biggest foreign direct investment, and its progress has been closely watched by prospective investors as a reflection of India's investment climate, as the Asian giant balances economic and industrial expansion with ecological concerns.
The prime minister's office monitored the project, signalling the importance the government accorded it, and its desire to develop closer ties between New Delhi and Seoul.
POSCO signed the agreement for the Orissa mill in 2005 and it was scheduled to begin production by end-2011, but local protests, environmental worries and litigation over the related mining concession have delayed the project.
In August, India's environment ministry ordered a halt to all work on the project, including land acquisition, while a panel investigated if the Forest Rights Act that seeks to protect forest land and settlers had been violated.
That panel gave a split verdict after which Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh asked a new expert panel to review whether the proposed mill can be given green clearance.
The ministry approval imposes 60 new conditions on the project, in addition to those first stipulated in the 2007 approval. None are likely to hamper POSCO's plans.
The ministry imposed 28 new conditions on the steel mill and power plant, including the assurance of air quality standards and water sustainability for local irrigation, and ordered POSCO to spent 2 percent of annual profits on social responsibility programmes.
The mill's dedicated port must meet 32 new conditions as part of the clearance, including protecting the shoreline from erosion, developing a conservation plan for turtles and other local animals, and assessing the financial impact on the local fishing industry.
The minor conditions imposed by the ministry may show a more business-friendly approach from Ramesh, after a series of cancellations and delays to billion dollar industrial projects.
In the concluding remarks of the approval, the statement noted that projects such as POSCO's "have considerable economic, technological and strategic significance for the country" that must be balanced with environmental concerns.
The approval will be welcomed by those in India who champion rapid development, and will likely boost the country's foreign investment credentials after earlier fears that the project would be cancelled.
POSCO requires 4,000 acres (1,600 hectares) of land, of which 2,900 acres is forested. The project has been hit by protests from farmers who fear losing their livelihood since clearance for the forested land was given in 2008.
Agriculture-dependent local residents, including some who claim tribal status and live in the mineral-rich region, oppose giving up their properties for mines and factories, and their continued resistance led to the regulatory probing from state and federal authorities.
In some areas of eastern India, including Orissa, where the central and state governments have struggled to contain a Maoist insurgency, rebels often try to tap local resentment against industry projects as a recruiting tool.
Probably not. POSCO does faces another legal challenge: a local firm also seeking a concession has challenged the concession granted to the South Koreans, and is proceeding with a legal case against the Orissa state government.
That decision on the mining concession lies with Supreme Court, but the litigation is unlikely to hold back the mill's construction now the green nod has been given.
No. The South Korean company is among several corporations, including London-listed Vedanta Resources, whose Indian projects have come under scrutiny by an environment ministry that has been tightening rules.
In October, the ministry threw out Vendanta's planned expansion of its aluminium refinery, also in Orissa, after its bauxite mining plans were deemed illegal.
Plans by Hindustan Construction Co's Lavasa to build a huge $31 billion city in the hills outside of the western city of Pune were halted in November by the ministry, which this month offered its blessing in return for a financial penalty and the creation of an restoration fund for the environment.

Narayana Guru
|ca. 1854
Chempazhanthy, Travancore (now Kerala, India)
|20 September 1928
Varkala, Travancore (now Kerala, India)
|Hindu sant, sadhu and social reformer of India
Narayana Guru (ca. 1854–1928), also known as Sree Narayana Guru, was a Hindu sant, sadhu and social reformer of India. He was born into an Ezhava family, in an era when people from that community and other communities that were regarded as Avarna faced much social injustice in the caste-ridden society of Kerala. Gurudevan, as he was known by his followers, led a reform movement in Kerala, rejected casteism and promoted new values of spiritual freedom and social equality.[1]
He stressed the need for the spiritual and social uplifting of the downtrodden by their own efforts through the establishment of temples and educational institutions. In the process he denounced the superstitions that clouded the fundamental Hindu cultural convention of caste.
Family and early life[edit]
There are many legends surrounding the life of Narayana Guru but few certain facts until his rise to prominence in 1887. He was born probably in 1854, the son of a peasant from an Ezhava family, in the village of Chempazhanthy near Thiruvananthapuram. Most likely, he was educated at least in part by a Nair teacher from a nearby village. He was deeply influenced by Vedanta and by ideas of social equality and social and religious reform. He taught religion and Sanskrit to local children and also to have studied yoga with notable ascetics such as Chattampi Swami. He was an itinerant yogi for some time and Cyriac Pullapilly says that he was probably married for a few years but "his worshipful biographers ignored this part of his life out of reverence for his later ascetism".[2][3]
In the course of his wanderings in search of enlightenment, Narayana visited Aruvippuram. There people sought his advice and powers of healing and he and his followers erected a temple to Shiva in 1887. He installed a small rock as an idol within that, defying the tradition that this was done by Brahmins.[citation needed] As a youth, Narayana Guru turned away from the temple rituals of his local village and traveled widely, living an ascetic lifestyle and seeking religious understanding. He eventually became a schoolteacher and then a religious reformer.[4]
Narayana's literary and philosophical masterpiece is claimed to be Atmopadesa Satakam (one hundred verses of self-instruction), written in Malayalam around 1897.[5]
In 1904, Narayana settled at Sivagiri to pursue his Sadhana (spiritual practice). He chose Amba'as his deity and subsequently opened a Sanskrit school in Varkala. Poor boys and orphans were taken under his care. They were given education regardless of caste distinctions. Temples were built at different places – Thrissur, Kannur, Anchuthengu, Tellicherry, Calicut, Mangalore. A temple was built for Sharada Devi in 1912, at Sivagiri. Worship at such temples helped reduce to a large extent superstitious beliefs and practices.
In 1913, he founded the Advaita Ashram at Aluva, dedicating it to the principle of Om Sahodaryam Sarvatra (all men are equal in the eyes of God).
Narayana's 60th birthday was celebrated throughout the west coast from Mangalore to Sri Lanka. Between 1918 and 1923 he visited Sri Lanka many times. In 1921, a Conference of Universal Brotherhood was held at Aluva. Again in 1924, a conference of all religions was held there. He stressed the need for a Brahma Vidyalaya for a comparative study of different religious faiths.[citation needed]
Sivagiri pilgrimage[edit]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (August 2012)
The Sivagiri pilgrimage is said to have been conceived by Vallabhasseri Govindan Vaidyar and T K Kittan Writer, along with the poet Mooloor S. Padmanabha Panicker. Though the idea to hold a pilgrimage was approved by Narayana Guru as early as 1928, it was not until 1932 that the first pilgrimage was undertaken.[6]
Narayana stated the goals of the pilgrimage to be the promotion of
- Education
- Cleanliness
- Devotion to God
- Organization
- Agriculture
- Trade
- Handicrafts
- Technical training
He advised Vaidyar and Writer to organise a series of lectures on the themes with experts conducting them. The lectures should be listened to attentively. More important, the principles should be put into practice. Success must accompany efforts. Only then will the country and the people benefit. this must be the core purpose of Sivagiri pilgrimage.
Finally, it was decided to start the first pilgrimage from the village of Elavumthitta in Pathanamthitta District. The S N D P unit No.76 of Elavumthitta selected five youngsters for the pilgrimage. All five pilgrims wore bright yellow dress. All the way to Sivagiri, they were reciting 'Swaathanthrya gadha' – written by the poet Kumaranaasan. The dominant thought in their mind was the mission to fulfil, will have to reach Sivagiri, a great responsibility bestowed on their shoulders by the Sreenarayana devotees. Their mission was a great success. Today thousands are following the way they have shown.[citation needed]
The Palluruthi event in 1927 was the last anniversary of the Yogam which Narayana attended and was also his last public function.[citation needed]
Narayana went to Vellur Mutt at Vaikom to rest. There he was taken ill. He went to Alwaye and later to Trichur for treatment, then to Palghat and to Madras.[citation needed]
Guru became seriously ill in September 1928. He remained bedridden for some time. Devotees came in large numbers to have a glimpse. The same year, his birthday was celebrated in many places, including Kerala, Madras, Mangalore, Sri Lanka and Europe. He died on 20 September 1928.[7]
Public acceptance, honours and veneration[edit]
Rabindranath Tagore is reported to have said that "I have never come across one who is spiritually greater than Swami Narayana Guru or a person who is at par with him in spiritual attainment" after meeting Narayana Guru at his ashram in Sivagiri in November 1922.[8]
On 21 August 1967, India Post honoured him by issuing a commemorative postage stamp of denomination 15 nP.[9]
In 2009, the Government of Kerala recommended to the Union Government that Daiva Dasakam, a prayer song written by Narayana Guru, be adopted as the national prayer song.[10]
The International Center for Sree Narayana Guru Studies was established in 2005.[11] Numerous other institutions, particularly those operated by the SNDP, are named after him.
Both Sree Narayana Guru Jayanthi and Sree Narayana Guru Samadhi Day are public holidays in Kerala.[12]
Notable disciples[edit]
The 1985 Malayalam film on the life of Sree Narayana Guru, Sree Narayana Guru by P.A. Backer, won the Nargis Dutt Award for Best Feature Film on National Integration of 1985.[15] In 2010, another film on the life of the Guru, titled Yugapurushan, was directed by R. Sukumaran.[16] The 2014 Tulu movie Brahmashri Narayana Guru Swamy also has a story based on his life.[17]

... town. It had started to snow outside and was much colder than we were used to in the other parts of Switzerland we had been. The town is hundreds of years old and the buildings have amazing artwork on the outside. We also visited the Catholic Cathedral and the paintings on the ceilings were incredible! After walking around the town, we stopped by the apartment to pick our bags up and went to a bar near the train station for a drink. Here we have Ovomaltine which is ...
1728. My Third Alpine Pass
... like Tibet than the Alps.
Walking along a busy road, with ski lifts all around, I must say crossing this pass doesn't have quite the same raw magic as Splugenpass did. In fact, right at the very top of the pass is yet another cluster of hotels and restaurant.
There is one contraption that catches my attention: It's a cable that disappear way up the mountain, and a wooden box, which it looks like it's still in use, as a very, very rustic cable car to get up the ...
1727. The Higher, the Colder
... watering holes for skiiers going and coming from the slopes. I reach the last train station for a while. After this, the rail line and the freeway are going to burrow deep under the mountain. There's a little voice inside me that tells me that I could just hop on a train to Innsbruck, and spend the night in a warm hostel... But I quickly silence this ...
1726. On up the Valley
Day 282 2 hrs, 5 kms Dalais is another peaceful little village, built partly in the valley floor, and partly up the grassy slopes. I get off the trail for a bit to make it easier to walk from town to town. I find, a bit to my amusement, that drivers seem utterly baffled when seeing a pedestrian by the road. Even when there's a very wide shoulder and plenty of room for them to drive ...
1725. Hike to the Waterfall
Day 282
4 hrs, 10 kms
The scenery so far in Austria has been nice, but not spectacular (here I go, comparing it to Switzerland again!) But my next town more than makes up for it. Auberbraz is halfway up up grassy hillside, and above it is not one, but two magnificent waterfalls, tumbling over the rocky precipice.
Time to do a little side trip. It woudn't be right to just snap a picture and move on... I'm going to climb up to the base of one of those waterfall.

See & Do Halloween Guide
Hit all the hot spots this Halloween by following our Halloween guide.
By Solange Reyner
It's my favorite time of year, my friends, so I've put a lot of effort into finding the best spots for you and yours. Lincoln Road is always a sure bet every Halloween evening, but we have a bigger list if you're looking for a new scene:
Of course, this is going to be the hottest pre-Halloween party this week. It's at the Setai, and you're invited - and the whole Miami.com entourage will be there. Just RSVP here.
Halloween Dinner, a Witching Hour and fun facial treatments - it's all taking place at the Fairmont Turnberry Isle Resort & Club this Halloween.
Playboy bunnies at the Shore Club on Halloween - there's no one in costume here. Eight playmates will host the event, which starts at 9 p.m.
Tons of costume contests, plenty of drink specials, and lots of fun at the Hard Rock this Halloween. Check out what's going on October 30th and 31st.
Celebrate this spooky holiday with three events that take place on the grounds of the historical zoological garden in Miami, including Dr. Wilde's Screamatorium, Spooky Zoo Night, and MetroBoo!
It's the best haunted house in Florida and you get to go at a discount - if you're a Miami resident, that is. It's Universal's Halloween Horror Nights and Chucky and Wolfman are waiting. So what's your holdup?
It's the best haunted house in Florida and you get to go at a discount - if you're a Miami resident, that is. It's Universal's Halloween Horror Nights and Chucky and Wolfman are waiting. So what's your holdup?
It's an 80's themed party, with a costume contest - first place puts $500 in your pocket.
Mingle with young professionals at the Thriller Bootanical Bash at the Fairchild Tropical Botanical Gardens starting at 8 p.m. this Friday, October 30th.
Half-priced well drinks, a costume contest and a party till 2 a.m. - sounds like my type of Halloween outing. It all takes place at Randazzo's Little Italy on Miracle Mile and starts at 8:30 p.m.
Get Buried Alive at Miami Seaquarium's haunted attraction starting Wednesday, October 28th. Monster Splash 2009 features carnival thrill rides, performances by Flipper & some friends, a haunted house for the little ones, and of course, the biggest funeral of all - your own. It all costs $24.95 ($21.95 for children).

Avera Clinic to Become...
Spencer Hospital's Board of Trustees took action during its monthly meeting on Thursday which will transition the local family practice clinic to become a department of the hospital. The board approved entering into a collaboration relationship with Avera Medical Group Spencer known as "provider-based status."
Colon Cancer Prevention
There are often no signs or symptoms of colorectal cancer – that's why it's so important to get screened.
Looking for a new gym?
Did you know Spencer Hospital offers customized, comprehensive training and fitness for adults and student athletes?
Say goodbye to fad diets!
At Spencer Hospital, our dietitians can help you create an eating pattern based on the Dietary Guidelines and MyPlate recommendations and can accommodate your food preferences, cultural traditions and customs through our personalized nutrition programs.
Spencer Hospital Boosts the Local Economy
A recent study by the Iowa Hospital Association demonstrates that Spencer Hospital generated nearly $40 million for the local economy last year.
Honoring Cardiac Rehab Week
Spencer Hospital and the Cardiac Rehabilitation Department along with their participants will be celebrating Cardiac Rehabilitation Week February 8-14, 2015 by drawing attention to the role of cardiac rehabilitation in reducing the potentially devastating effects of heart disease. Cardiac Rehabilitation Week is celebrated during February, American Heart Month, as part of a national campaign to draw greater attention to heart health. The week coincides each year with Valentine's Day.
Spencer Hospital Hosts Meet and Make Event
Join Spencer Hospital dietitians, Amanda Scanlan, Judy Erickson and Greta Farley, for a fun and healthy event on Wednesday, March 4 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. During this come-and-go event, participants will be able to make two delicious recipe-in-a-jar meal mixes to take home and enjoy or give to a friend. Cost is $5 to participate.
Sweet Deal in February
In celebration of National Heart Month in February, Spencer Hospital is offering a special discounted rate of $75 for both a Heart Check and a Stroke Check offered through the hospital's Planet Heart program.
Women, Wine & Wellness
The "Women, Wine & Wellness" soiree promises to be an entertaining afternoon with wine tastings paired with heart healthy cuisine samples, live music, a little education and lots of camaraderie. Spencer restaurant Gary's on the River is hosting the event from 2-4 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 22.
Have you been tested for cervical cancer?
About 79 million Americans currently have HPV. Many people with HPV don't know they are infected. Cervical cancer can often be prevented with regular screening tests and follow-up care.
How are your resolutions holding up?
The reality is most resolutions are long gone by February and very few are sustained in the long term. We start the year off with great intentions, but without the right steps in place we may often find our attempt less than successful and our momentum falling by the wayside.
Know your numbers in 2015
How do we gauge good health? For many of us, it's a number on the scale or the amount of energy or lack thereof when rolling out of bed in the morning. A more accurate method of assessing good health is to know your health numbers, particularly those related to your metabolic health. Each month Spencer Hospital offers "MetS Checks" to determine a person's risk factors for metabolic syndrome.

transplanting Thalictrum and Astilbe
I want to transplant 3 Thalictrums (Meadow-rue). They've been in the same spot for 3 years and have done well. But they reach way out over other plants to get more sun (the shade hits them earlier than they would like or so it would seem). Should I wait until late fall, cut them way back, and then move them? They are done blooming.
The Astilbe just looks beaten-up. I planted it in partial shade a month ago. So I'm planning on giving it more shade elsewhere. I'm a little concerned that it might die if I wait until fall. Can I (relatively) safely move it now?
I haven't moved plants around much, so I wanted to check in here for advice.
Maybe the astilbe needs more water. Or is infested by weevils. Both kinds will die down on their own in the fall, no point in cutting them back. And you want to let the foliage go through its natural cycle, which is liable to include transfer of nutrients from the dying leaves to the rootstocks.
Move when you'd like, but it's risky during dry periods to move moisture loving plants. It would be better & easier to wait until the fall rains return. The soil will be looser & the plants won't suffer shock like now.
The dormant state was probably already triggered in the pot from going dry prior to planting, so it's not dying just preserving itself. Astilbe are tough plants. My family thought I was crazy when I purchased dead looking 2 gal pots in August for $1 one year. They emerged in spring as well as other established ones here. Since they're heavy feeders, give them some rabbit manure in October every year & they'll be happy along with water throughout the growing season.
A soil enriched with a lot of compost is also going to help retain the moisture both Thal & Astilbe prefer. Perhaps you can prep that new spot for the Thal now & by fall will be richer soil.
If you modify the soil with amendments you will have to dig the planting up later and re-amend every time these have broken down enough for the soil to re-consolidate etc. And digging in amendments tends to open soils up, make them breathe more. If moisture retention is the goal it is more effective to mulch than amend. Amending of beds is best limited to short-term plantings that are frequently re-done anyway, i.e. flowering annuals and annual vegetables. Longer lived plantings are better made in existing soil, loosened at planting time, and mulched afterward. Where a different soil seems called for that should be brought in and dumped on the ground, made into mounds, berms or raised beds, without digging into the rejected dirt already there. Or if raising the grade in a particular spot would be a problem, then a bed shape should be dug out, the unwanted material taken away, and the replacement soil used to fill the excavated area.

PALO ALTO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/14/12 -- Continuuity, the industry's first Big Data application platform, today announced a $10 million Series A funding round. Battery Ventures and Ignition Partners led the round, and were joined by returning and new investors Andreessen Horowitz, Data Collective and Amplify Partners. The company will use the funds to accelerate product development and drive its go-to-market strategy. Continuuity's board of directors will include Roger Lee from Battery Ventures, Cameron Myhrvold from Ignition Partners, along with company co-founders Todd Papaioannou and Jonathan Gray. The Continuuity leadership team and board of directors have helped build multiple industry-leading companies, including Greenplum, Corio and Dynamical Systems, as well as having served in critical strategic roles at Teradata, Yahoo!, Facebook and Microsoft.
Continuuity recently emerged from stealth to introduce the industry's first Big Data application hosting platform, the Continuuity AppFabric, at O'Reilly Strata + Hadoop World in October 2012. Delivered as a cloud platform, the company's flagship product harnesses the full power of the Hadoop ecosystem, allowing developers to rapidly deploy, scale and manage Big Data applications both in and outside of the firewall.
"Continuuity is poised to disrupt the market by merging Big Data and cloud to introduce a new application development opportunity for all developers," said Mike Dauber, Principal at Battery Ventures. "We're excited to co-lead the Series A round for Continuuity, and we join the company in its mission to become the center of gravity for the Big Data application development ecosystem."
"With the surge of Big Data over the past few years, it's no surprise companies are striving to derive value from the ever growing amount of data. New kinds of Big Data applications that are able to pull meaning from data at scale will enable them to do this," said Cameron Myhrvold, Founding Partner at Ignition Partners. "Continuuity is making it possible for the existing legions of application developers to invent and deploy such apps. At Ignition Partners, it's our pleasure to have the opportunity to invest in bringing Continuuity's vision to market."
Continuuity empowers developers to turn big ideas into Big Data applications. With a fully integrated developer experience, Continuuity supports application development from prototype to production. The Continuuity Developer Suite includes an SDK, development tools and a fully-featured, single-node version of the Continuuity AppFabric to create and iterate on applications quickly. When ready, developers deploy applications with the click of a button -- directly to a remote instance of the Continuuity AppFabric, which is available today on a per-customer basis in an on-premise or managed private cloud edition, and in the future a public cloud edition.
"We are honored to have the industry's top-tier venture capitalists join us in our mission to democratize Big Data application development," said Todd Papaioannou, co-founder and CEO at Continuuity. "Built by developers for developers, we believe the Continuuity AppFabric is going to ignite the new wave of Big Data application development and experimentation. Our team members have been instrumental in shaping Big Data infrastructures and applications at companies that pioneered the technology. Now we're taking that deep expertise to put a next generation platform and tools in the hands of developers, entrepreneurs and enterprises."

Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend.

The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

True Blood Recap: The Good Guys Face A Gang Of Vamps
This battle has been building for a couple of episodes, but did Sookie and company botch Arlene's rescue?
Oh, True Blood, if only you could continue to delight and gross us out for a couple more years. The show has long since run its course at this point, but showrunner Mark Hudis and co. seem intent on going out with a bang. And by "bang" we mean lots and lots of blood, of course. We probably don't need to say this anymore, but don't read ahead if you haven't seen the latest episode. EVERYTHING BELOW THIS IS SPOIlERS.
Anna Paquin has stuck with her Sookie Stackhouse character throughout seven seasons of ridiculousness.
There's no light reprieve in this one. As the episode begins, Tara is dead, her boyfriend is dead and Sookie is tasked with giving his father the devastating news. Meanwhile, Jason has a message to deliver too – Hoyt Fortenberry's mother was killed by a vampire and Jason needs to tell his former best friend. This is how we learn that Hoyt is actually still a character on the show.
Sookie is on damage control – she's off to the Sheriff's house to give Arlene's kids a much needed pep talk, and then heads to Holly to help/soothe/get some information out of the former hostage. Using her fairy mojo, she finds out that Holly was confined to the Fangtasia basement, along with Arlene (Carrie Preston) and Nicole (Jurnee Smollett-Bell).
Sam is about to rush off to do the whole "knight in shining armor" thing, but Jason convinces him to wait until nightfall, when they'll have some vamp backup. This begs the question… since when is Jason the voice of reason? How very out of character for him. In the meantime, the team are doing some mission prep. So Jessica, kind soul that she is, refuses to feed on Lafayette and recover from her bullet wound, but Sookie convinces her and offers her own blood to Bill. This is nothing new, of course, but the show has gotten altogether too comfortable with its human characters willingly serving as walking blood bags.
In a flashback, the history of Fangtasia is finally explained – and in a surprising twist, it was the brainchild of Ginger (Tara Buck), who did not start out the glamoured mess she would eventually become. Ginger's plan to convert the video store Eric and Pam had been running since the 1980s would unfortunately be stolen by Pam, who finally reveals the true genesis of the idea to Eric as they are midflight to Bon Temps.
More: "True Blood" Finale: Alexander Skarsgard Naked, But Did He Die?
Welcome back to our favorite vamp!
This leads us to today, when Eric and Pam are back in town and ready to join the attack. We get a hint of Eric/Sookie romance (finally, the shippers have something. And then it's time for the raid, led by Pam and Bill, currently the two strongest members of the good crowd. While Pam rescues Nicole, Bill goes to find Arlene, being fed on by the gang of infected vamps. Eric sneaks his way into Fangtasia and the gang are about to launch a surprise attack. And just when you think everything is going to be fine (what show have you been watching for the past six years?), the anti-vamp mob joins in the fun and all hell breaks loose. With Arlene's life hanging in the balance, is it really possible for our team to come out of this with any sort of victory?
