Quilty Inspiration
The funniest part about that to me is in college, I was an Animal Science, Ag Business major. We had to take a fine arts class as part of our requirements and I took Art. And was extremely frustrated and bored... and now look at me!! Who knew!! I can be one of those "see kids, you never know what you will need in life, so do your math homework" stories!!
On to today's Quilt show!!
This amazing Zig Zag quilt comes from Mary in Colorado.. you can read more about Mary on her blog
Jody and the Bingham Ladies Fellowship in NE made these next 4 quilts.. this is a group of ladies that have been meeting and learning to quilt over the last 2 years. Are they not amazing? Jody - you are a fantastic teacher!!!
I had to show you the back... Isn't that the neatest backing???
And the sister quilt
I am going to guess that this is a buggy barn type star pattern - isn't it lovely?
And the last one from the Bingham ladies - a green chain quilt!! The blocks are so variegated!!!
Janelle P in MD made the next two quilts. I think I want to go play in her fabric stash... These are just my favorite colors..... and so springy!!
This is the back!! Isn't it amazing. I had just as much fun checking out the back as I did the front... seriously - wouldn't you have FUN with these fabrics??
This is Janelle's too.... Its a Scrappy Trip around the world from Bonnie Hunter. The yellow!! Is just totally works here!! I love it!
And of course, Janelle did not dissappoint on the back either.... !!
This next quilt is a joint effort - Mildred in CA pieced the quilt, and Angie at Timber Hill Quilted it!!
This was one of the blocks - I love it!!
The next 2 quilts come from Jessie C in LA - they are part of the PatchworkTimes challenge... And I am pretty sure this first one was a mystery quilt on the mystery Quilt for soldiers yahoo group - that was actually designed by Judy L!
I know I have seen this pattern somewhere - but I must admit, I can not remember where at this moment. I think I do fairly well at recognizing patterns - but it bothers me when I can't remember!! Jessie did a wonderful job on this!!
Hope you enjoyed these lovely Quilts Of Valor!! I sure enjoy checking them out!!

They all look great!
The Churn Dash and Stars looks like one of mine ... I did mine in different colors but my original design was in RWB.
I've also got a green double four patch on my website ... It's one of my favorite color combination for that pattern.

Breakfast may seem like an odd choice for today, compared with the wintry themes I've been writing about lately, but recently I've been trying to cut out cereal as my go-to breakfast in favor of more healthy choices–even though cereal is quick, it's really full of sugar. When I was trying to gain back the weight I lost a few months ago, I made eggs and toast every day–scrambled, seasoned with lemon pepper, with cheddar cheese sprinkled on top–and that is still a favorite. I've also tried steel-cut oatmeal, which warms me up on a cold morning–plus it's delicious with honey on top!
But my absolute favorite breakfast of all time is only available in the winter: Pomegranate seeds with greek yogurt!
Pomegranates have always been my favorite fruit, but I've never had to actually extract the seeds myself–growing up, my Dad always did the dirty work (thanks, Dad!). It can be a bit intimidating.
I found a 2-for-$5 stand of pomegranates at Whole Foods, and I decided to go for it. After some internet research, I donned an old t-shirt (this step is very important!) and got to work.
Here's how I attacked the pomegranate:
- Cut off the crown at the top.
- Using a big knife (I'm sure there's a more technical term), make a cut across the crown, halfway through the fruit.
- Split the fruit open with your hands.
- Cut each half into two pieces, so you have four quarters.
- Holding the pomegranate over a big bowl, whack it with the back of a spoon. (I didn't think it would work, but it really does!) The seeds will fall out, and the juice will splatter everywhere. You may have to scoop out some stubborn seeds with the spoon.
- Don't worry if there are some bits of membrane in the bowl with the seeds. Fill the bowl with cold water, and the extra bits will float to the top. Swirl the seeds in the water, scoop out the unwanted bits, and use a slotted spoon to transfer the seeds to a container.
That's all there is to it!
I like to eat my pomegranate seeds for breakfast with greek yogurt–normally, greek yogurt is too tangy for my taste, but adding the pomegranate seeds sweetens it up naturally and tastes really good!
Another use–this isn't for breakfast, but pomegranate seeds also look really festive in a glass of Spumante or champagne–as demonstrated at my parents' house in AL!

"When you can't make a decision, close your eyes, take a chance, and hope for the best."
~ Toni Armenta Andrukaitis
I walk pretty much every day. I can count on one hand and have fingers left over, how many days I don't get out for a walk in a year. It's not only my thinking time, but I get to see beautiful sunrises and spectacular sunsets. Then, I also get to save the world from flat tires. Where's my cape?
Dinner? What should I have for dinner? When I can't decide, I close my eyes and reach into my over-stuffed jam-packed freezer.
I was hoping for chocolate ice cream, but pizza was good. Better than the cauliflower or cantaloupe in there.
After dinner, I went for a walk. I found a nail sitting smack dab in the middle of two different driveways along my route. I've picked up hundreds of nails on my daily walks throughout the years. I've gotten a few flat tires over the years, so I like to think that I've saved some neighbors and strangers from flat tires and the anguish and expense that goes along with it.
My reward for my caped crusader endeavors was yet another gorgeous sunset. Each evening, a perfect painting in the sky.

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan – On Nov. 10, 2019, at approximately 12:50 a.m., an officer from the North Battleford Crime Reduction Team (CRT) noticed a vehicle travelling at a high rate of speed heading east on Highway 16 toward Saskatoon.
The CRT officer initiated efforts to close the distance between the police vehicle and the suspect vehicle. However, the suspect vehicle continued to travel away at high speeds and moved into the westbound lane.
Warman RCMP was engaged and attempted to deploy a spike belt, but was unsuccessful. The suspect was observed to be heading south on Township Road 390. Officers fully disengaged and conducted patrols.
A description of the suspect vehicle was shared among police agencies in the area.
Approximately 10 minutes later, Corman Park Police located the vehicle west of Saskatoon. Saskatoon Police Service Air One located the vehicle travelling on oncoming traffic along Highway 14. At 1:56 a.m., SPS Air One tracked the suspect driver who was observed to enter into an unknown residence.
Initial attempts by CRT using a loud speaker and sirens to make contact with occupants did not yield any response or acknowledgement. North Battleford CRT, Biggar RCMP, Warman RCMP, RCMP Police Dog Services and Corman Park Police made entry into the residence. Three occupants were located in the residence, including the suspect driver.
Flint James Vayro (DOB: 1991-10-13) was taken into custody and has been charged with Flight, Dangerous Operation, Operate while Prohibited, and Breaching a Condition of an Undertaking (Domestic), in addition to previous assault charges.
Vayro was remanded for Provincial Court on Nov. 12, 2019, in Saskatoon.

|A mere £3.75 for all 4 fish fillets. :-)
Atypically for me I didn't then embark on a 2 hour research project comparing the relative merits of each and every recipe on the interwebs but I adapted this one from the BBC good food website and made it even easier and chunkier.
Chunky Fish Chowder
2 sticks celery - diced
1 leek - sliced then the rounds sliced in half
500g spuds - diced small as I didn't bother peeling them. I used waxy spuds as that's what I had and what I prefer
1 litre fish (or use veg) stock
|Skinning salmon is easy, cod - not so much!
1 tsp cornflour
2 salmon fillets (my pack was 260g) - skinned and cut into chunks
2 cod fillets (my pack was 220g) - skinned and cut into chunks
300ml full fat milk
150g sweetcorn - defrost if frozen
2 heaped tbsp Greek yoghurt
Soften the celery and leeks in the EVOO for 5ish mins while chopping the spuds.
Add the spuds, stock and lemon zest. Bring to the boil then reduce to a simmer.
Once the potatoes are soft (up to 15 mins) use a masher and crush them into the soup a bit. How much is up to you. It saves getting the FP out though!
Add the milk and sweetcorn and warm up.
Add the fish and cook gently for a few minutes until done. Don't boil or the fish will fall apart.
Serve - I put a little more lemon zest on mine. The original recipe suggests chives but I didn't have any.
As I'd used reduced fish it was a cheap dish for me to make and I just used veg that was to hand, so no need to shop especially for this dish.

Maybe you're looking to sell your car for cash or are hoping to find the best trade in deal.
Whatever the reason, I've written this guide to help you get the fastest sale and the best price for your car.
Before you get going, you'll want to know what your car is worth.
Do a quick a Google search for 'free car valuation' to get a free, up-to-date used car valuation in seconds by simply entering your car's licence plate.
There are a number of sites out there on the web offering this service.
Once you know what it's worth, you'll be ready to sell.
Below I have outlined the top sites to sell a used car.
With the advantages and disadvantages.
|Has money back guarantee - no sale, no charge. Listings are syndicated on Kelley Blue Book.
|You will not get top dollar for your vehicle on AutoTrader.
|Facebook Marketplace
|Great for selling locally. All ads are free and you can check out potential buyer profiles to see if they are legit.
|You may get a lot of people which are not serious about buying at all.
|All listings are free. You can create an awesome photo-rich ad to sell your vehicle.
|Limited to a hyper-local area. May take longer to sell your car.
|Free and paid listing options. Your listing can be placed on other online properties of Cars.com.
|Site is designed more for buyers and not sellers. Higher-end used cars do better on Cars.com than cheaper ones.
|eBay Motors
|Local listings are free. National listings are $60 and up. According to eBay Motors the majority of cars and trucks sell relatively quickly.
|Bids on vehicles are non-binding. So potential buyers can back out of the auction.
|According to CarGurus there are more than 20 million potential buyers every month.
|You get a free listing, but will be charges $99 when the vehicle sells. No matter the price. Probably will not get top dollar for your vehicle with CarGurus.
|You never have to go anywhere. Carvana will pick up your vehicle at your location. Many users claim they get more for their vehicle with Carvana.
|Fees may apply. It is difficult to find out what Carvana charges. Best for used vehicles valued at 8,000 and up.
|Caters to sellers wanting to make a quick sale. Vroom will make an offer within 30 minutes. If you accept, they will come to you and pick up your vehicle.
|Charges $499 per vehicle for shipping.
Here's my top tips for fast, pain-free ways to sell your car.
Get the Best Price with a Classified Ad
It's easier than ever to sell your car quickly for a good price thanks to the rise of auto trading giants like AutoTrader.
The downside?
It'll take a bit more effort than a trade in with a dealer – but, stats show that selling online privately through a classified website like the ones mentioned, can help you bring in up to 30% more cash than a trade-in.
So making an effort can be worth it – but you'll have to sacrifice a lot of your personal time.
Note: Illustrated above is the percentage of Kelly Blue Book's value a vehicle owner would get from each of a popular car-selling website. The dealer is the worse option. Particularly if you are going to "trade-in" your old vehicle for a new one. The best options are Carvana, Facebook Marketplace, and Craigslist. Each of them come with their own risk.
*Either sell to dealer or as a trade in.
Classified ads online are one of the most popular ways to advertise used cars for sale.
Find out which website is right for you – AutoTrader, eBay and Craigslist are some of the most popular.
This method can incur extra costs.
Some classified sites will charge you a flat fee for your ad for a set period.
Because it's not the fastest way to sell, you could find yourself paying additional maintenance, road tax and insurance while you wait.
So do check all fees.
Make a Quick Sale with an Online Buying Service
Classified ads are incredibly popular, but they won't suit everyone.
Another great option is selling to an online car buying service.
These services will offer you a way to sell quickly with far less hassle.
Just do a search for 'online car buying sites' to find some instant car selling options.
Below I have included a list of sites offering car buying services where you can sell your vehicle too.
With the advantages and disadvantages of course.
|Pulls prices from a network dealers. With transparency of deals it helps to lower costs.
|Once you advertise with TrueCar you will get spam calls and emails.
|Every car on Shift passes a mechanic inspection. Reduces the risk of selling from an independent buyer on Craigslist of Facebook.
|There is limited options for buyers to test drive. You may spend more time selling on Shift.
|Pulls results from CarsDirect, Craigslist, and Ebay. Can be convenient.
|Since AutoTempest pulls from many sites it can be confusing. The quality may be lacking since there is poor vetting of buyers and sellers.
You simply describe your vehicle, its condition and age and the site will generate an offer.
If you're happy with the price they're offering, you can organize for a company rep come and collect it or you may need to drop it off.
You'll get paid the same day in many cases!
Many instant car buying websites will charge some admin fees and a transfer fee – be sure to ask about these upfront to avoid any nasty last minute surprises.
There are many companies offering this type of service (some that charge no fees), so be sure to use to compare car buyers wisely.
Sell on Craigslist
There are some free sites like Craigslist which may be a great option for selling your car.
A staggering sixty million people visit this site a month!
So you can feel comforted by the fact that you'll have a large and varied audience.
Below I have included a few tips to help you sell on Craigslist.
Most of you already know this.
However, there are a couple of things which may help if you really want to sell it quick.
|Selling on Craigslist
|Meet the buyer/seller in-person, and preferably not alone.
|Always play it safe and have an extra person come along.
|Poor language in the ad is a red flag.
|This can be a mass communication technique used by scammers.
|Look for good, clear pictures.
|Post as many clear pictures as possible. This makes it look like you are legitimately selling a vehicle.
|Know the price of the car.
|Have a ballpark price in mind. Don't try to sell for too much or too little. Anything else will scare legitimate buyers away.
|Make sure to have paperwork in order.
|Too make everything go smooth have everything in order ready to sell.
|Don't ask to wire money. Ask for cash or a cashiers check.
|The number one rule on Craigslist is to never wire money. This will scare buyers.
Motorway have some great tips on how to make the most of your ad (like taking great photos and highlighting some of the cars best features) as well as a step-by-step guide if you're new to the world of selling on sites like Craigslist or Gumtree.
It isn't the only free to sell option – there are other options to sell your car for free, so be sure to explore them with a quick Google search.
Keep it Low-Key and Sell Local
If the idea of hundreds of people viewing your ad and wanting to come and see your car fills you with dread, then you may want to take a more traditional route.
Local advertising continues to be a popular way to sell your car to folks in your area.
Note: One of the best ways to sell a used car locally is to place in a parking lot which allows you to showcase your vehicle. The obvious huge advantage is potential buyers get see your automobile. I would put the price with "Or Best Offer", i.e. OBO. If you have someone calling you have a serious buyer. If you do not put the price, you may get less interest.
It'll limit the amount of people who want to come for a viewing and though the pool will be smaller, you could make a quicker sale as your buyer will be close by.
Place an advert in your local paper and ask local bars and stores if they're happy for you to put an ad in their window or on a bulletin board.
Don't forget that simply offering it to friends and family can prove to be a pain-free and easy option for selling privately!
You can also try the old method of parking your car on a public road with a simple 'for sale' sign in the window.
But do make sure what you're doing is legal before parking up!
Sell to a Local Dealer or Specialist
Look for a dealer or retailer that specializes in cars like the one you're trying to sell.
For example, if you're trying to sell your Audi, head to your local Audi dealership to see what they can offer.
Before you head to your local dealership you want to check comparable vehicles on Cars.com and AutoTrader to find out how much automobiles are selling in your area. About 80% of the price is what you may get.
Remember to do your research and find out what your car is worth before heading into the dealership.
If the dealership offers you a price you're happy with then be sure to sort it on the day – the offers they make are often in the moment and it can be hard to come back another day and try to haggle the same deal.
So take all of your documents with you so you can complete the sale there and then.
Sell for Scrap or Junk
This option is typically reserved for cars past the point of reselling.
If you're wanting cash for an old car (worth less than $300), then you could get a good scrap price.
You'll save a lot of pain and time with scrappage and will be able to get turnaround a quick sale.
The price can vary drastically.
It will depend on factors such as the car's overall desirability, the salvageable parts of the vehicle and the buoyancy scrap metal market.
It'll also depend on the weight of the car.
It's easy to understand why this quick and hassle-free solution is a popular option for sellers.
Whatever the car's condition, you'll get a price based on its weight.
Google 'scrap my car' to see what your car might be worth.
And don't forget that plenty of major car brands now offer scrappage and/or junk schemes for their vehicles.
Find out more about these schemes in Motorway's car scrappage schemes guide.
If you are going to sell a junk car to a consumer there are laws you have to abide by.
I have outlined some below.
|Lemon Laws
|State lemon laws
|The first thing you should do is research the lemon laws for the state where you plan to sell your vehicle to make sure that you are covered.
|Private seller laws
|In many states if you sell more than 4 vehicles you are considered a dealer.
|Mileage tampering laws
|Don't mess with the odometer. If it doesn't work you have to say so on the title.
|Price maximums
|The typical cost for selling junk cars is $700. Anything more than that and a buyer could use state lemon laws against you.
Trade-in with a Local Car Dealership
If you're selling your current car because you're looking for something newer or different, a trade-in could be a great option.
Most of the time, when you're selling to a car dealer you can also get a trade-in deal (also called a part-exchange).
The most important part to using your vehicle as a trade-in is to negotiate the price separately.
This involves trading in your old car in exchange for a new one, paying the remaining difference in cash or finance.
It can be a great solution as it takes the old car off your hands and saves you the time and effort of finding something new.
In order to make sure you are getting the best possible deal for your car, you need to understand the part exchange process.
Be wary that though it's quick and convenient, it may not offer the best return as dealers will try and make as large a markup as possible.
Research the options available to you – we've mentioned plenty of them in this article, but it's worth reading around each route for the best understanding of your pathways to a good car sale.

The Sydney Opera House is set to host two incredible vocalists next March, with Robert Plant and José González each stopping by for unmissable headline performances alongside their Bluesfest festival appearances.
Bringing his band The Sensational Space Shifters to the Concert Hall, Plant will be treading the stage twice, taking the crowd through his extensive career with Led Zeppelin and his own storied solo career. Plant's new album Carry Fire has been winning acclaim and in marking the iconic Led Zeppelin album's 50th anniversary, 2018 is going to be momentous for Plant and with these Opera House shows now in the mix, there's little doubt that they'll be special for the artist and audience alike.
When it comes to González and his connection with Australia, his is a strong one. He was only performing at the Sydney Opera House last year, performing evocative and spellbinding shows to massive crowds, and for one night only next year, he returns armed with just his vocals and guitar.
"When José González takes to the Concert Hall stage next March, it will have been two years since he utterly transfixed us all with his liminal, magnetic debut here, blowing out into two sold out, rapturously received performances." Ben Marshall, the Opera House's Head of Contemporary Music has said. "If ever one person could, alone on stage, transform our grandest stage into an intimate, evocative and personal space for the power and beauty of music, it is José González. We cannot wait."
Tickets for all shows are on sale from October 20th. Full details below!
March 26th & 27th
On sale from 10am AEDT

On sale from 9am AEDT

The president described most of the places pretty accurately.Africa is however an entire continent, so making a sweeping generaizatiin about it is like saying everyone in North America is nice becuase I went to Canada. Moreover, I have found that people from not nice places tend to be extra awesome.Look at Fargo. Place not awesome - people super awesome. Same with Lubbuck and Fairbanks.I found the same dynamic in Point Niore, Warri Nigeria, (Lagos was a pit and the people were almost as nasty as people in D.C.)But South Africa was nice and Swaziland too. Mozambique was very bad but was in the middle of a civil war. Liberia was bad and it got worse. I was there right before the civil war started in the late '80's.It is unfortunate that the president has made the U.S. a less desirable place for illegal immigration. Illegal immigration has historically been the best source of high quality citizens. Well educated legal citizen not so much.CheersQazulight

- Lots of pictures at this link, lots of food for $3.46. I hope he finished his meal.
To emphasize the government's commitment to frugality, a casually dressed Xi was photographed yesterday queuing up to order and pay for his own meal at a branch of the Qingfeng Steamed Dumpling restaurant chain in Beijing. He chatted with fellow diners as he tucked in to a plate of green vegetables, steamed dumplings and a soup of stewed pig livers and intestines known as chaogan, according to photographs posted on the Xinhua website. His order cost 21 yuan ($3.46), according to a report on the Beijing News website.
- Gary Locke's influence?
- Not quite. I think Xi picked up from BO who stopped by SF Chinatown Restaurant to buy Dimsum to go for his staff
- I don't think Xi imitates anyone. His wife was seen walking into a concert with the general audience recently.
The first U.S. president in recent history eating at restaurants was probably Bill Clinton.
Gary Locke is far from Xi in terms of stature. Norm might as well said it was Norm Matloff's influence, assuming he does carry his own tray and order his own food. :-)
- I'm not sure you are aware of the incident I was alluding to, Guy.
When Locke first came to China, he was seen carrying his own bags, and paying for coffee with a coupon at the airport Starbucks. This caused quite a stir in China, with the Chinese press referring to him as "the backpack ambassador."
- Norm,
I don't know if you're aware Xi is the president of China while the highest office Locke has held was a state governor and a cabinet secretary.
How much security does Locke get, compared to Obama? You may not think Xi has similar stature as Obama. But they are both head of their respective country; and China, FYI, has four times as many people.
- If Xi is that elitist, refusing to learn from someone "beneath" him,
he's not a man of the people after all. I'm suprised you don't reject
the idea that he emulated Obama, who heads a country 1/4 the size of
- Will an elitist go to lunch that costs only $3.46? God gave us a brain.
I did mention Bill Clinton. If I remember correctly, he would stop by McDonald's during his jog.
One thing you're really good at, though, making many unsubstantiated claims with so few words.
- I didn't make any claims, Guy. I merely suggested a possibility.
Concerning your bringing up your "China is 4 times bigger" claim, we now see it was bogus.
- What a stupid thing to say! As I said, God gives us all a brain.
- That's your only response, Guy? If you think that you didn't contradict
yourself on your 4X argument, please explain why.
- I don't think it's worth my time with someone who has no brain. Guess God didn't give everyone a brain after all. Too bad.
- It is indeed too bad, Guy. This was not your best day.
- In that case, do you mind if I publicize our exchange on this subject? I'll do it verbatim.
- Please do. I think that in piecing this together, you'll discover what
I've been saying is true, i.e. that you indeed have been inconsistent.

James Miille and Alex Mitow want to help you fill your home with art.
It's a simple goal with a not-so-simple plan of attack: Miille and Mitow, co-founders of Superfine!: The Fair, know that the world of fine art isn't inclusive by design. For many of us, collecting art seems like a pipe dream. And the art market, an arena steeped in prestige, doesn't exactly welcome newbie collectors or emerging artists with open arms.
"At a lot of other fairs, a booth for an exhibiting artist would start at $20,000," Mitow tells me over homemade matcha lattes at his and Miille's DUMBO apartment. "It's a huge barrier to entry." Of course, the art itself at many traditional fairs also comes at a higher price tag (think $20,000 and up), which could deter people with smaller budgets looking to get their feet wet in the world of collecting.
With so many hurdles in the way, actually selling your art at a fair can seem downright impossible. It was something Miille and Mitow experienced firsthand by trying to exhibit and sell Miille's photography years ago.
"I had no idea what I was doing," Miille admits, describing how he sold pieces for $50 that he'd now sell for upwards of $600. "From a marketing perspective, we learned to how to sell my work and give it value."
That naïveté ended up working in their favor: As newcomers learning the ins and outs of the fine art world, Miille and Mitow noticed a huge discrepancy between what the art market was doing and what it could be doing. "We saw what emerging artists were going through—trying to bend over backwards to get gallery representation, and the galleries are there trying to get into art fairs, and the art fairs are there trying to make a few dollars at the end of the day," Mitow recalls. "It was just this weird chain of economics that wasn't working for anybody, except maybe the people at the tip-tip top."
Enter Superfine!, a traveling art fair giving the traditional model of selling and acquiring art a run for its money. Founded in 2015—shortly after Miille, a photographer by trade, and Mitow, a hospitality industry veteran, officially coupled up—Superfine! offers visitors the opportunity to view and purchase contemporary art at weekend-long fairs in different major cities around the country.
Miille and Mitow accept applications for exhibitors from both independent artists and art galleries. The art they look for varies from city to city, fair to fair. Generally, it's reflective of both the host city's aesthetic and the Superfine! team's taste as curators. The selection process is rigorous and involves plenty of back-and-forth, but it's worth the hassle for both parties: Superfine! upholds its reputation for quality curation, and the fair fills a unique gap in the art market.
"For [independent] artists, there just aren't many other reputable art fairs that they can show at," Miille explains. "A lot of them don't have a very good reputation—they're badly curated. On the flip side, for the galleries, there's not really a fair that's targeting the price bracket that we focus on, under $1,000 and up to $15,000."
At this year's New York show in May, more than 70% of the artists at the fair were women, a fact that makes Miille and Mitow beam with pride. By virtue of their accessible and transparent model, many of their exhibitors are emerging artists, women, queer, or people of color. "The same way that we're making art more approachable for collectors, we're making exhibiting in an art fair more approachable for artists and galleries," Miille explains.
Their team also partners with Art Money, an Australian company that helps people finance purchases of artworks priced over $1,000 through 10-payment plans. Resources like that enable people of varying economic brackets to invest in art they love, Mitow says.
"We're definitely a disruptor in the art market, but we're not trying to destroy it," he adds. "If you're an artist and you've worked 40 hours on a piece, you should make that. We're not trying to say, 'Oh, that's worth $100, or $50, or $20,' but we are trying to bring everyone's expectations to reality."
In just a few short years, Miille and Mitow have grown their business from a small passion project to a seven-person operation, tacking on more members to the growing Superfine! team and expanding their reach as they go. As the brand's leaders, Miille and Mitow are two sides of the same coin, and their skillsets are complementary: "I have the equivalent of two left feet for using my hands. Like, I can't write my own name straight!" Mitow says. "But I have a visual in my head of how things should look. So I can take something really rough and hand it to James, and he can reinvent it into something that's way better."
Of course, running a business out of your home office is a blessing and a curse. ("'Work-life balance?' What's that?" Mitow quips.) But the pair credits much of their success to their partnership in both business and life.
Moving forward, Miille and Mitow plan to keep expanding Superfine! to other cities. Four fairs are already confirmed for 2019: L.A. in February, New York in May, D.C. in October, and Miami Beach in December. A second New York fair, number five overall, might be in the cards, too. At all of their future fairs, including this year's Washington, D.C., show in October, the duo plans to have LGBTQ programming. (This year's D.C. fair will include a series of short film screenings in partnership with OUTshine Film Festival.)
The art establishment just doesn't cater to the queer community, Mitow says, which is silly, since there's a clear market there.
"I feel like people tend to ask, 'Why do [LGBTQ people] like design and art and things?' And I'm like, 'Well, we didn't play football,'" Mitow says with a laugh. "When we were told that what we did like wasn't good, we decided, OK, I'm going to indulge my creative side, and then over the years, we developed it. I know plenty of straight people who also did that. But they were just able to counter societal norms and be their own person… Obviously, we feel emotionally geared toward creating programming around LGBT [issues], but it also makes a lot of sense for our exhibitors."
No matter where Superfine! travels, though, the goal remains the same: to encourage ordinary people to find artists they love and invest in their work.
"When you really love something, when you love art or science or some other aspect of culture, invest in it," Mitow advises. "Drop that $5 bill in the jar on your way out. Do what you can."
The next Superfine! fair in Washington, D.C., runs from Wednesday, October 31 through Sunday, November 4.

Hawkwind Review
I recently went to the William Aston Hall to see the Space Rock band, Hawkwind perform as part of their current tour 'The Machine Stops'. It was certainly a performance that was out of this world.
In the foyer whilst waiting to go in there were plenty of fans wearing the bands t-shirts with various different album covers on and there was a stall in the corner selling the latest album and tour t-shirts. People of all ages had come together to watch the spectacle and there was a sense of excitement in the air as we waited for the show to begin.
As the band nonchalantly walked out onto the stage to much cheering and clapping they looked very unsuspecting. Dave Brock, the longest standing member and force behind Hawkwind is now in his 70s but still rocking with the best of them. An air of expectancy hung in the air as they donned their instruments and then, all of a sudden this sonic blast of sound crashed out over the audience and filled every space. You could feel the sound reverberating throughout your whole body and it felt like we were in a spaceship that was about to take off. The hall filled with a cacophony of strange and wonderful sounds. Hawkwind certainly doesn't do anything in half measures.
All throughout the concert there were psychedelic patterns projected onto the stage which really added to the space age, other worldly feel of the performance. There was plenty of head nodding and foot tapping happening amongst the audience and there was a nice atmosphere as everyone enjoyed themselves and listened to the music.
Most of the songs were from their new album 'The Machine Stops' and they also played some of their well known old songs too which had everyone singing along. Before long there was quite a group of people who had abandoned their seats to congregate in the aisle right in front of the stage where they were dancing and singing along in the true spirit of Hawkwind. By the end of the show everyone was on their feet joining in and when the last song had been sung we all cheered out for more. They came back onstage and sang a few more songs for us, finishing with what is probably their most well known song – 'Silver Machine'. That was when the room really took off; the entire audience was on their feet, clapping, cheering, dancing and singing along. It was a great feeling and a brilliant night.
Afterwards, my ears were ringing and I was half deaf but we all left very satisfied after feeling like we truly had just been on a journey through time and space.

Architectural design: Dimitrios Tsigos
Project management: John Tsigos
Senior Architects / Designers: Kate Karagianni
Architects / Designers: Christina Tsakiri, Marina Karamali, Danai Diou
Many scenarios exist that address the function and aesthetic of the work environment. Architects are the generators of such scenarios,responsible for the interpretation of this kind of space… and eventually the role it will play on peoples lives . For PCCW Greek headquarters, we perceived the working space as public space.
We did not design an open plan, and we did not design a conventional plan either. We started by completely reversing the typical office plan model, the one where the working space is maximized and the circulation/public interaction space is diminished to a bare minimum. This led to the creation of an extended circulation network, a grid of promenades, and working areas that become mere islands in a sea of public coexistence.
Think of the way a city block is surrounded by streets. Now imagine an office space where there's streets, crossroads and piazzas. Where there's more than one possible routes from A to B. Where people can meet and interact randomly. Where you can circulate in loops rather than finite paths.
Imagine an office space where your public presence is part of the scenery, and not a collateral necessity. An office space where u exist as a person as well as an employee. This is the public space that is generated by such architecture.

Police Crashes Into Vehicle With Sirens Blaring
A Houston Police officer crashed his cruiser into another vehicle while responding to a call on Houston's west side late Monday night. According to police reports, the officer did have his lights and sirens when he struck a woman who was driving an SUV. The female driver allegedly failed to yield the right of way to an emergency vehicle. There were no serious injuries reported in the crash, however, both vehicles had heavy damage. Also damaged in the crash was a turn signal at the intersection. The crash caused the light to flash for several hours until it could be repaired. Accidents involving emergency service vehicles can happen for any number of reasons. When a new driver goes through driver's education, one of the lessons taught is how to safely share the road with emergency vehicles. Emergency crews also have certain procedures in place in order to insure that the safety of everyone. Emergency workers such as police, fire and ambulance drivers want to get to their calls safely and quickly. Emergency vehicles also have the potential to be in or even the cause of accidents. Such accidents may include driving at excessive speeds, reckless driving, inadequate training, hazardous weather conditions and driver distraction. If you or a loved one has been involved in an accident involving any type of emergency services vehicle, give our offices a call. When dealing with services that are run by city or municipalities, quick action is the key.

Not only do we get to see good friends from "home", but they also bring goodies. Naturally, as a kid, this was really cool. But it is even better as an adult. You see, they bring cheese. OK, some people may be thinking, "what's the big deal?" If you think that – then you've never had good cheese. Really good cheese.
Here is the cheese company's info: (Oh, and by the way, M & J, if you read this – you need a web site... and I happen to know a great web designer who will gladly trade services :)
- Wisconsin Dairy State Cheese Company
- Guided tours and movie focus on Wisconsin's rich dairy heritage. Fresh cheese curds and ice cream. Retail outlet and an observation window.

- We were just gifted with goodies galore. The good kind, too. So now we have over 12 kinds of cheese in our fridge. Yes, you read that correctly, 12. Normally, this is not a problem. In fact it is like Christmas Eve right after we open all of our gifts. But the bounty is in my fridge – not under a tree.
Only my drug is cheese. Knowing this cheese is in my fridge will haunt me until I get home on Friday, AFTER my weigh in. That way, I'll have all week to hide my addiction until the next weigh in. If it shows up on my weigh in, I'm OK with it. This cheese is worth the points!

The staff made the first cuts yesterday. Three pitchers, an infielder, and a catcher all were released. I'm still here, so I'm one step closer to making the opening day roster. My best guess is that there are about 7 pitchers competing for 3 open spots on the roster. I think that 1 spot will definitely go to a lefty, so I'm probably fighting with 4-5 other pitchers for the final 2 roster spots.
I was scheduled to pitch the 8th and 9th tonight in an exhibition game against Brockton, but the rain started early this afternoon and we never got out of the visitor locker room. So I grabbed a sandwich and checked out the NBA games back here at the hotel room. I also logged in about 1.5k hands of poker and booked a small win despite playing pretty horribly (got all-in preflop with TT and JJ twice when I didn't need to and also tried an awful river bluff that cost me $300). I really feel like I played lousy tonight and I definitely think I tilted at one point after having AA and KK cracked in really lousy ways.
I finally used my long saved full tilt points to order something from the FTP store. I should have a 42inch plasma TV shipped to me in 6-8 weeks. So I'm pumped to have a huge hi-def TV in my living room to watch movies and sporting events.
I've gotta hit the sack because I've gotta be up in about 6 hours for practice tomorrow morning. I'm guessing I'll be throwing live indoors since our field is a lake right now. If the rain ever dries up we are supposed to play an exhibition game on sunday. Hopefully I'll still be around by then.
I'm a former college baseball pitcher who quit my job to become a professional poker player and try to make it in the ranks of professional baseball. Baseball didn't work out but poker is going strong. The best part about it is that I haven't had to sit in a cubicle since late 2007.

Glad to read that you pitched well this week even if you missed the chance to do it last night. Also it is PRIMO EXCELLENTE to heat that you made the first cut!!
Keep up the great work! I am sure it will pay off!!
Oh and I bet you will get your poker game back on track once the stress of making the team goes away!

Carbon Nanotube Vacuum Field Emission Transistor Design for Large-Scale Manufacturing
Charles Nelson, Harold Evensen
WiSys is currently seeking strategic partners in the next generation transistor industry that are interested in further optimizing the design for large-scale manufacturing, ultimately providing a path to market for its commercialization.
OVERVIEWMost present-day electronics are made with solid-state transistors constructed of semiconducting materials, such as silicon. This solid-state technology largely replaced the prior use of vacuum tubes in electrical applications because of advantages in size, reliability, ruggedness, power consumption and cost. However certain specialized vacuum tubes are still used for applications where a high frequency needs to be generated at a high power. X-ray generators, microwave ovens, satellites and radio stations all use specialized tubes. The continued need for these applications and the advent of nanotechnology have led to advances in miniaturizing vacuum tubes to create vacuum field emission transistors (VFETs). However, the ability to manufacture VFETs on a large scale remains a significant obstacle to their widespread adoption.
THE INVENTIONInventors from the Department of Engineering Physics at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville have created novel transistors by incorporating etched carbon nanotubes into a planar design that is compatible with existing fabrication techniques. In previous studies by others, aligned carbon nanotube transistors have been demonstrated to achieve saturation current that is 1.9 times higher than those that are silicon-based, at an equivalent charge density. In the optimal embodiment of this invention, carbon nanotubes are aligned and feature precise gaps that act as channels to allow the efficient transport of electrons without the need for a vacuum. The anticipated output of this approach will be nanoscale transistors that resist heat and radiation and operate at low voltage and high frequency. To address current challenges with large-scale VFET manufacturing, this technology offers three advantages – the carbon nanotubes can be prefabricated using methods that are already in place, the selective etching process for creating electron channels uses conventional integrated circuit techniques, and the planar design can integrate with existing wafer-based manufacturing methods.
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITYThe global semiconductor market, which includes transistors among other components, was valued at $418 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach $575 billion by the end of 2022. The use of carbon nanotubes in next generation transistors is also on the rise. Over the same time period, the global carbon nanotube market is expected to increase from $4.5 billion in 2018 to $8.4 billion in 2022.

Geoffrey's academic publications include the first ever peer-reviewed analysis of ExxonMobil's 40-year history of climate change communications, which demonstrated that the company has misled the public. It was the seventh most talked-about climate change article of 2017, with global news coverage reaching a potential audience of half a billion people, and it was cited by Anderson Cooper during CNN's 2019 U.S. Democratic presidential Climate Town Hall. Geoffrey has briefed U.S. Senators and Governors, testified as an expert witness to European (EU) Parliament and the Philippines Commission on Human Rights, and co-authored several amicus briefs in support of climate litigation.
During his PhD at MIT, Geoffrey's research included assessing the costs and carbon intensities of the 125 most popular cars in America, and engineering next-generation LEDs and solar cells using nanomaterials called quantum-dots. Geoffrey's review of quantum-dot LEDs in Nature Photonics is the most highly cited in its field.
From 2012-16, Geoffrey co-led the fossil fuel divestment campaign at MIT, which precipitated the Institute's first climate action plan. In 2016, Geoffrey helped organize the first major scientist protests against the Trump administration.

Tom hosted a very informative (and a bit messy!) clinic on how to paint and weather tank tracks. His trick: Paint them Humbrol 66 and then use water soluble oils for a wash.
We also had our fearless secretary "Nuge" to give us a short and instructive clinic on how to fix blemishes on canopies. Sadly we have no pictures of it.
Below are pictures of the models brought for the "Show and Tell".

text: What would the life of a missionary be without traveling? We are blessed though because our travels don't usually require us to be gone for weeks at a time. So far this month we've been in Kentucky, Tennessee and other parts of Ohio. God has been good and kept us safe. We praise the Lord for 2 new churches taking us on for support and another supporter raising our monthly support! The girls are enjoying making new friends. At one of the churches they even sang (they tend to be shy in this area). Thank you for praying for us!

"It's better to light a candle than curse the darkness." Great quote, but what does it have to do with thanking your money?
A while back I published an article titled "Set Them Free." In it I wrote, "How can you expect your relationship with her to be anything other than what it's been as long as you have her fixed in your mind as capable of only certain behaviors?"
I didn't then envision the person the way I'd like her to be, I chose to just let her be…that is, be who she is. After all, she could surprise me in remarkable, positive ways; and indeed, since I made that choice, this person has. This also freed me to reflect on and appreciate all of the good moments we've shared during the years, and there have been many. Every time a good memory flashes in my mind, I give her a quiet, heartfelt Thank You.
It occurs to me we can do this with money as well. We can recognize that money is actually a form of energy we exchange; and though we enjoy it, use it, and seem to usually want more of it, we may never actually thank it for all it's done and does for us. Sometimes we treat it like the quote and curse it (in a manner of speaking) however it shows up in our lives—generally by wanting more but holding a negative expectation of it showing up in the way we'd like. Better to light an inner candle to illuminate ourselves differently about it.
Try this: deliberately pull up money memories that are goods ones: A purchase that either made you feel really good or served a purpose; a gift chosen carefully, knowing how delighted the recipient would be; an enjoyable dining experience or form of entertainment; a donation that really made a difference; and of course the everyday exchanges that help us move through life. Take a moment to thank money for making these things possible since money exchange is what we use in our 3-D world.
Thank it for showing up consistently or as a surprise, in expected and unexpected amounts (including coins on the ground that I hope you pick up and then affirm abundance). Thank it for helping you learn a good deal about yourself and others. Apologize for ever restricting it because of learned negative or limiting beliefs.
Is it time for you to set money free from "behaviors" based on your beliefs and limited expectations? Start by genuinely feeling core-level appreciation for what it's done, does, and will do to enhance your life experience.
You are what you practice.

Will Pork Aid Help or Hinder?
Aug 13, 2009 | 06:21
Canada's government will set off squeals of protests no matter how it decides to handle a plea for aid from its desperate hog farmers.
If Ottawa fails to come through on the $800-million loan request, Canada stands to lose a large chunk of its once-lucrative hog sector to bankruptcy and closures.
But aid for Canadian hogs will read as an attack on farmers in the United States, Canada's largest market, where producers say they'll do what they can to stop the proposal.
"Essentially, what this does is it transfers suffering among pork producers from north of the border to south of the border, and we're not going to stand by and let that happen," said Nick Giordano, vice-president of the U.S. National Pork Producers Council. "We're not going to want to wait. We're going to scream bloody murder. We're going to go political."
High feed costs and recession-depressed exports have ruined bottom lines and frayed tempers in the North American hog industry, where farmers have lost money for about two years. Hog prices fell to a six-year low on Thursday.
"It's never been so bad," Mr. Giordano said.
Sounds like aid for hog producers will be announced this weekend - you think this is a lose-lose situation?
Jan 14, 2010 | 00:45
Hog producers have been sold down the river. End of story.
Jan 25, 2010 | 21:13
It interests me how HiTech and McGrath's Sinnet barns can keep operating in Leroy.
And purchase barns and feed mills to boot in this market. Is it all in the accounting and gov't programs? Not much into eating pork but if I can get my hands on this outside finished pork I do.
Feb 2, 2010 | 14:59
Our last local producer is shutting down after thirty years of raising what could be described as "free range" hogs. He just can't afford to lose money for four to six months of the year as the market swings forth and back.
Too bad, but as they say..."That's Progress".
Feb 3, 2010 | 17:59
Lots of producers taking the buyout. No worries, pork eaters. Russia is building sow barn like there's no tomorrow.
In our "globalized" economy, the local producer has no more value than the world's lowest cost producer. And there's always someone willing to do it for less, it seems.

Hockey Night in Canada has represented a Saturday institution in Canadian households. The third season of the WHL Suits Up To Promote Organ Donation Presented by RE/MAX will celebrate the longstanding history of Hockey Night in Canada in a brand-new way that will spark nostalgia in hockey fans far and wide. Fans will have a chance to get their hands on the limited-edition Hockey Night in Canada-themed WHL sweaters through local auction with their WHL Club.
Meet Tisean: The Warrior Princess
Tisean was born with a very rare condition which affected both her kidneys. Looking at her today you would never guess she's had 23 surgeries – the majority of them kidney related. Her mom says "she is a really strong little girl. I call her my warrior princess because Tisean has shown so much strength and bravery throughout all the surgeries she has had since the age of four."
It's been a very long journey for Tisean, which is an understatement. At such a young age, Tisean needed to learn about kidney disease, adapt to special diets, take mandatory medications, and undergoing various treatment options. Fortunately, she hasn't be alone throughout her kidney journey. Tisean has the love and support of her family, friends, Alberta's medical system, and last year she was invited to Kidney Kids Camp.
At the time, Tisean & her family didn't know Alberta/The Kidney Foundation had a camp for kids with kidney issues, but our little warrior princess was so excited to go and celebrated her 10th birthday at camp. While the family was nervous to see their child leave home for a week, she returned from camp with so much excitement, stories of adventure, new friendships, and an eagerness to go back in 2019. It was, after all, an opportunity for her to just be a kid.
When Tisean was asked to be an ambassador for the Kidney Foundation of Canada WHL Suits Up with Don Cherry To Promote Organ Donation game in Red Deer, she immediately said YES. It was her way to help bring awareness to kidney health and organ transplantation.
As her mom says "so far her journey with kidney disease has been calm. She does have a daily routine which requires the use of catheters, irrigation therapy, and medication for her bladder and kidneys, and maintaining her diet from sodium and potassium" but she is strong. And she will get through this.

Bark in the Park is back for its third year! Join us for tree planting, weed pulling, and education on native and invasive species in the area. You can be part of keeping our parks fun and safe for all.
Date: Wednesday May 15, 2019
Time: 4-7pm
Location: Terwillegar Off-Leash Area, 10 Rabbit Hill Road
In the Terwillegar off-leash area has developed a large patch of field scabious, a noxious weed that grows in mats and eliminates other types of vegetation. Any field scabious infestation that has been allowed to go to seed a few times will require many years of diligent weed control to eradicate.
Seeds from the plant may cling onto shoes, bike tires and dog fur, and put other green spaces at risk. It is crucial to control the spread so we can keep our parks clean and safe. This event will help you to learn how you can be part of the solution! To learn more about this species and others, see the fact sheets from the Alberta Invasive Species Council.
Here's what to expect at the event:
Bring your pups! You and your best friend are welcome to join the Off-Leash Ambassadors and explore the education tables.
Education tables. Information on the growth of noxious weeds, such as field scabious, and how they impact native vegetation. Learn about some rare plant species in the park and pet safety around weeds.
Weed pull. Help us control other weeds in the area. If you fill a bag with pulled weeds, you get a native tree or shrub to take home and plant.
- Tree and shrub planting. Root for Trees will be working to naturalize areas of the park. Learn more about this great program and plant your own tree.

Our customer service team in San Francisco is ready to assist you.
Monday - Friday
When it comes to skin care, nothing compares to miraculous products that contain a multitude of uses. Imagine using the same sole product as an eye cream, a lip moisturizer and a spot treatment for eczema. Sounds too good to be true, right? Enter May Lindstrom's Blue Cocoon. A cult favorite, loved by everyone from makeup artists to Gwyneth Paltrow, Blue Cocoon is basically a triple threat in the form of an organic balm.
My skin issues are mostly related to redness and lack of hydration, but this inflammation-blasting, ultra-hydrating balm works for these issues too. I first decided to try the product after using a clay mask, paying special attention to my undereye area. In the morning, my skin was super soft with nary a dry spot in sight. My eyes were less puffy and there was no sign of redness.
The best thing? My skin just felt lavish, like someone wrapped it in a loving embrace. I also decided to try it out as a lip balm since my lips are always dried out from constant matte lipstick use. I was not disappointed. This is the one of the best skin care items to have ever been made, in my personal opinion.
The ultimate hydration tool
If your skin is thirstier than the Sahara, Blue Cocoon will be like a tall glass of water. It contains a slew of nourishing organic ingredients such as blue tansy oil, camellia seed oil, shea butter, yangu oil and marula oil which are known to be extremely moisturizing, soothing, and anti-inflammatory.
Fighter of skin problems
If you suffer from skin stresses such as psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis, and rosacea, Blue Cocoon will help ease your discomfort. It's also made for all skin types, whether you're prone to acne or constantly dry.
A lullaby for the skin
Not only is Blue Cocoon some sort of miracle worker for the skin, it also acts as a stress reliever and sleep aid. The blue tansy oil helps to relax nerves, alleviate sleep problems, and manage feelings of frustration. At night before you drift off into slumber land, make sure to keep the jar open and it will act as aromatherapy. Don't worry about the balm drying out (it won't!).
How to use it
After cleansing your skin, apply a pea-sized amount of Blue Cocoon to your still-wet face, or to any specific problem areas. The balm will easily absorb. Always make sure your face is damp — it will only activate with wet skin.
Along with May's other products, Blue Cocoon is preservative-free, hand-crafted, and made right in Ms. Lindstrom's kitchen — so you'll feel even better when you slather on this magic potion.

VALLEY FORGE, Pa., Feb. 1 /PRNewswire/ — Visitors to Valley Forge this weekend will have a chance to meet two of the nation's best-known Founding Fathers. On Saturday, Benjamin Franklin will hold forth about his many contributions to the cause of the American Revolution. On Monday, visitors will meet George Washington, learn what made him a brilliant military leader, and sample Martha Washington's delicious birthday cake. Sunday, the 2nd Pennsylvania Regiment will present programs on soldier life.
Washington and Franklin had wildly opposite personalities, but, as visitors will see, their combined military and diplomatic skills were the key to winning the Revolution.
It was here at Valley Forge in February 1778, that the first public celebration of Washington's birthday took place, when a group of soldiers serenaded him with music outside his Headquarters. At the same time, Benjamin Franklin was in Paris, negotiating the alliance with France that would give the Americans the backing needed to win the war. Franklin was also instrumental in sending Prussian Baron Friedrich von Steuben to Valley Forge in February, to instruct the troops on close-order drill and tactics. In June, when the Continental Army marched out of Valley Forge, it was a formidable fighting force with the French Navy to back it up.
Throughout the weekend, re-enactors will demonstrate musket firing, campfire cooking and military drilling, and visitors will learn from the soldiers why Washington was so revered by the troops. They'll also have a chance to hear about the 5,000 African-American soldiers who fought in the Continental Army, and understand Washington's stance on their inclusion.
This weekend also marks the 95th anniversary of the Boy Scout Pilgrimage to Valley Forge. Hundreds of Scouts will converge here Friday, camp overnight and make a circuit of different stations throughout the park on Saturday.
For details on program times and locations, log on to http://www.nps.gov/vafo; for information on hotels, restaurants and other attractions in the region, log on to http://www.valleyforge.org/. For more information about Valley Forge National Historical Park, call 610-783-1077.

Huawei, the China-based networking giant, has announced a new Big Data analytics acceleration solution using its FusionStorage product co-developed with Alluxio Inc., the Silicon Valley-based startup backed by venture legends Andreessen Horowitz. FusionStorage is Huawei's distributed software-defined storage system. The most recent release, FusionStorage 6.0, supports distributed block, file, and object storage, with classification, encryption, and deduplication.
Alluxio's software is a memory-centric, virtual distributed storage system. It sits between Big Data computational applications and a wide range underlying storage systems accessible through an API so the application crunches data in real-time without caring about where the data is stored. To find out more about the new storage solution, I spoke with the founder and CEO of Alluxio, Haoyuan Li.
VMblog: What industries will most benefit from this solution?
VMblog: What kinds of new workloads does this joint solution permit that were a challenge before?
Haoyuan Li: The problem solved here is moving big data at memory speed across a range of different storage systems and technologies. Transferring data to object storage is very hard to do at scale. One of the main problems with implementing object storage is how do you get data from point A to point B? The most efficient way is to use software that can move data from either NAS or SAN systems into an object storage system, rather than using an object storage gateway.
VMblog: Do you have any examples of scale, performance, or other metrics you can share?
The global bank Barclays accelerated Spark jobs from hours to seconds by running Alluxio between the query-running compute nodes and a Teradata data repository.
VMblog: When will this joint solution be available?
Haoyuan Li: It's available globally now through Huawei.
Once again, thanks to Haoyuan Li, founder and CEO of Alluxio, for taking time to speak with VMblog.com.
