" That the ELECTED might never form to themselves an interest
Here are the 27 lies Romney told in 38 minutes →
Pundits from both sides of the aisle have lauded Mitt Romney's strong debate performance, praising his preparedness and ability to challenge President Obama's policies and accomplishments. But Romney only accomplished this goal by repeatedly misleading viewers. He spoke for 38 minutes of the 90 minute debate and told at least 27 myths:
1) "[G]et us energy independent, North American energy independent. That creates about 4 million jobs". Romney's plan for "energy independence" actually relies heavily on a study that assumes the U.S. continues with fuel efficiency standards set by the Obama administration. For instance, he uses Citigroup research based off the assumption that "'the United States will continue with strict fuel economy standards that will lower its oil demand." Since he promises to undo the Obama administration's new fuel efficiency standards, he would cut oil consumption savings of 2 million barrels per day by 2025.
2) "I don't have a $5 trillion tax cut. I don't have a tax cut of a scale that you're talking about." A Tax Policy Center analysis of Romney's proposal for a 20 percent across-the-board tax cut in all federal income tax rates, eliminating the Alternative Minimum Tax, eliminating the estate tax and other tax reductions, would reduce federal revenue $480 billion in 2015. This amount to $5 trillion over the decade.
3) "My view is that we ought to provide tax relief to people in the middle class. But I'm not going to reduce the share of taxes paid by high-income people." If Romney hopes to provide tax relief to the middle class, then his $5 trillion tax cut would add to the deficit. There are not enough deductions in the tax code that primarily benefit rich people to make his math work.
4) "My — my number-one principal is, there will be no tax cut that adds to the deficit. I want to underline that: no tax cut that adds to the deficit." As the Tax Policy Center concluded, Romney's plan can't both exempt middle class families from tax cuts and remain revenue neutral. "He's promised all these things and he can't do them all. In order for him to cover the cost of his tax cut without adding to the deficit, he'd have to find a way to raise taxes on middle income people or people making less than $200,000 a year," the Center found.
5) "I will not under any circumstances raise taxes on middle-income families. I will lower taxes on middle-income families. Now, you cite a study. There are six other studies that looked at the study you describe and say it's completely wrong." The studies Romney cites actuallyfurther prove that Romney would, in fact, have to raise taxes on the middle class if he were to keep his promise not to lose revenue with his tax rate reduction.
6) "I saw a study that came out today that said you're going to raise taxes by $3,000 to $4,000 on middle-income families." Romney is pointing to this study from the American Enterprise Institute. It actually found that rather than raise taxes to pay down the debt, the Obama administration's policies — those contained directly in his budget — would reduce the share of taxes that go toward servicing the debt by $1,289.89 per taxpayer in the $100,000 to $200,000 range.
7) "And the reason is because small business pays that individual rate; 54 percent of America's workers work in businesses that are taxed not at the corporate tax rate, but at the individual tax rate….97 percent of the businesses are not — not taxed at the 35 percent tax rate, they're taxed at a lower rate. But those businesses that are in the last 3 percent of businesses happen to employ half — half of all the people who work in small business." Far less than half of the people affected by the expiration of the upper income tax cuts get any of their income at all from a small businesses. And those people could very well be receiving speaking fees or book royalties, which qualify as "small business income" but don't have a direct impact on job creation. It's actually hard to find a small business who think that they will be hurt if the marginal tax rate on income earned above $250,000 per year is increased.
8) "Mr. President, all of the increase in natural gas and oil has happened on private land, not on government land. On government land, your administration has cut the number of permits and licenses in half." Oil production from federal lands is higher, not lower: Production from federal lands is up slightly in 2011 when compared to 2007. And the oil and gas industry is sitting on 7,000 approved permits to drill, that it hasn't begun exploring or developing.
9) "The president's put it in place as much public debt — almost as much debt held by the public as all prior presidents combined." This is not even close to being true. When Obama took office, the national debt stood at $10.626 trillion. Now the national debt is over $16 trillion. That $5.374 trillion increase is nowhere near as much debt as all the other presidents combined.
10) "That's why the National Federation of Independent Businesses said your plan will kill 700,000 jobs. I don't want to kill jobs in this environment." That study, produced by a right-wing advocacy organization, doesn't analyze what Obama has actually proposed.
11) "What we do have right now is a setting where I'd like to bring money from overseas back to this country." Romney's plan to shift the country to a territorial tax system would allow corporations to do business and make profits overseas without ever being taxed on it in the United States. This encourages American companies to invest abroad and could cost the country up to 800,000 jobs.
12) "I would like to take the Medicaid dollars that go to states and say to a state, you're going to get what you got last year, plus inflation, plus 1 percent, and then you're going to manage your care for your poor in the way you think best." Sending federal Medicaid funding to the states in the form of a block grant woud significantly reduce federal spending for Medicaid because the grant would not keep up with projected health care costs. A CBO estimate of a very similar proposal from Paul Ryan found that federal spending would be "35 percent lower in 2022 and 49 percent lower in 2030 than current projected federal spending" and as a result "states would face significant challenges in achieving sufficient cost savings through efficiencies to mitigate the loss of federal funding." "To maintain current service levels in the Medicaid program, states would probably need to consider additional changes, such as reducing their spending on other programs or raising additional revenues," the CBO found.
13) "I want to take that $716 billion you've cut and put it back into Medicare…. But the idea of cutting $716 billion from Medicare to be able to balance the additional cost of Obamacare is, in my opinion, a mistake. There's that number again. Romney is claiming that Obamacare siphons off $716 billion from Medicare, to the detriment of beneficiaries. In actuality, that money is saved primarily through reducing over-payments to insurance companies under Medicare Advantage, not payments to beneficiaries. Paul Ryan's budget plan keeps those same cuts, but directs them toward tax cuts for the rich and deficit reduction.
14) "What I support is no change for current retirees and near-retirees to Medicare." Here is how Romney's Medicare plan will affect current seniors: 1) by repealing Obamacare, the 16 million seniors receiving preventive benefits without deductibles or co-pays and are saving $3.9 billion on prescription drugs will see a cost increase, 2) "premium support" will increase premiums for existing beneficiaries as private insurers lure healthier seniors out of the traditional Medicare program, 3) Romney/Ryan would also lower Medicaid spending significantly beginning next year, shifting federal spending to states and beneficiaries, and increasing costs for the 9 million Medicare recipients who are dependent on Medicaid.
15) "Number two is for people coming along that are young, what I do to make sure that we can keep Medicare in place for them is to allow them either to choose the current Medicare program or a private plan. Their choice. They get to choose — and they'll have at least two plans that will be entirely at no cost to them." The Medicare program changes for everyone, even people who choose to remain in the traditional fee-for-service. Rather than relying on a guaranteed benefit, all beneficiaries will receive a premium support credit of $7,500 on average in 2023 to purchase coverage in traditional Medicare or private insurance. But that amount will only grow at a rate of GDP plus 1.5 percentage points and will not keep up with health care costs. So while the federal government will spend less on the program, seniors will pay more in premiums.
16) "And, by the way the idea came not even from Paul Ryan or — or Senator Wyden, who's the co-author of the bill with — with Paul Ryan in the Senate, but also it came from Bill — Bill Clinton's chief of staff." Romney has rejected the Ryan/Wyden approach — which does not cap the growth of the "premium support" subsidy. Bill Clinton and his commission also voted down these changes to the Medicare program.
17) "Well, I would repeal and replace it. We're not going to get rid of all regulation. You have to have regulation. And there are some parts of Dodd-Frank that make all the sense in the world."Romney has previously called for full repeal of Dodd-Frank, a law whose specific purpose is to regulate banks. MF Global's use of customer funds to pay for its own trading losses is just one bit of proof that the financial industry isn't responsible enough to protect consumers without regulation.
18) "But I wouldn't designate five banks as too big to fail and give them a blank check. That's one of the unintended consequences of Dodd-Frank… We need to get rid of that provision because it's killing regional and small banks. They're getting hurt." The law merely says that the biggest, systemically risky banks need to abide by more stringent regulations. If those banks fail, they will be unwound by a new process in the Dodd-Frank law that protects taxpayers from having to pony up for a bailout.
19) "And, unfortunately, when — when — when you look at Obamacare, the Congressional Budget Office has said it will cost $2,500 a year more than traditional insurance. So it's adding to cost." Obamacare will actually provide millions of families with tax credits to make health care more affordable.
20) "[I]t puts in place an unelected board that's going to tell people ultimately what kind of treatments they can have. I don't like that idea." The Board, or IPAB is tasked with making binding recommendations to Congress for lowering health care spending, should Medicare costs exceed a target growth rate. Congress can accept the savings proposal or implement its own ideas through a super majority. The panel's plan will modify payments to providers but it cannot "include any recommendation to ration health care, raise revenues or Medicare beneficiary premiums…increase Medicare beneficiary cost-sharing (including deductibles, coinsurance, and co- payments), or otherwise restrict benefits or modify eligibility criteria" (Section 3403 of the ACA). Relying on health care experts rather than politicians to control health care costs has previously attracted bipartisan support and even Ryan himself proposed two IPAB-like structures in a 2009 health plan.
21) "Right now, the CBO says up to 20 million people will lose their insurance as Obamacare goes into effect next year. And likewise, a study by McKinsey and Company of American businesses said 30 percent of them are anticipating dropping people from coverage." The Affordable Care Act would actually expand health care coverage to 30 million Americans, despite Romney fear mongering. According to CBO director Douglas Elmendorf, 3 million or less people would leave employer-sponsored health insurance coverage as a result of the law.
22) "I like the way we did it [health care] in Massachusetts…What were some differences? We didn't raise taxes." Romney raised fees, but he can claim that he didn't increase taxes because the federal government funded almost half of his reforms.
23) "It's why Republicans said, do not do this, and the Republicans had — had the plan. They put a plan out. They put out a plan, a bipartisan plan. It was swept aside." The Affordable Care Act incorporates many Republican ideas including the individual mandate, state-based health care exchanges, high-risk insurance pools, and modified provisions that allow insurers to sell policies in multiple states. Republicans never offered a united bipartisan alternative.
24) "Preexisting conditions are covered under my plan." Only people who are continuously insured would not be discriminated against because they suffer from pre-existing conditions. This protection would not be extended to people who are currently uninsured.
25) "In one year, you provided $90 billion in breaks to the green energy world. Now, I like green energy as well, but that's about 50 years' worth of what oil and gas receives." The $90 billion was given out over several years and included loans, loan guarantees and grants through the American Recovery Act. $23 billion of the $90 billion "went toward "clean coal," energy-efficiency upgrades, updating the electricity grid and environmental clean-up, largely for old nuclear weapons sites."
26) "I think about half of [the green firms Obama invested in], of the ones have been invested in have gone out of business. A number of them happened to be owned by people who were contributors to your campaigns." As of late last year, only "three out of the 26 recipients of 1705 loan guarantees have filed for bankruptcy, with losses estimated at just over $600 million."
27) "If the president's reelected you'll see dramatic cuts to our military." Romney is referring to the sequester, which his running mate Paul Ryan supported. Obama opposes the military cuts and has asked Congress to formulate a balanced approach that would avoid the trigger.

"I believe that abortion should be safe and legal in this country. I have since the time that my mom took that position when she ran in 1970 as a US Senate candidate. I believe that since Roe v. Wade has been the law for 20 years we should sustain and support it. And I sustain and support that law and the right of a woman to make that choice"

"If the New York Times was constantly searching for archival footage to prove that Mitt Romney doesn't like black people, or that he is "whipping up race hatred," the conservative media would accuse them of frivolously ignoring the actual issues that this election ought to turn on. It would say that they were exploiting the racial anxieties of Americans to tarnish the character of a man whose long record of public policy-making shows no evidence of racial animosity or radicalism.
When it comes to racial demagoguery, the right has become everything it says it hates about the left."
Race-obsessed? True, but this "Obama is a Kenyan Muslim Socialist Fascist Marxist that Hates White People Even Though He's Half White, and Also, Too, Sharia Law" has a lot more to do with the panicked desperation of a political party in its death throes.
Romney's internal polling must be even worse than the public polling for him to order his paid flunkies to roll out this tired, five year-old non-story.

Notice how Romney and Bush never, ever appear in the same place at the same time.
Coincidence? I think not ↓
This guy's a jerk.
Romney is the first rich politician to act like a crass rich guy. Wealth didn't afflict the Kennedys, the Bushes, or Bloomberg. But Romney? This guy has NO common touch. And, sad to say, there actually are those who enjoy being rude to others. I suspect he's that type. Likes making the dig. Like the dig he took at the teacher in Colorado, Cheryl.
All those character flaws wouldn't stop him from making it to the White House if he weren't such a bad politician. He has no political skills and no political instincts. He's strictly a money man. How else can his waiting until 2011 to pay more taxes than the bare minimum be explained? Only a miser would hoard his income so energetically. Swiss bank accounts? Cayman islands? 100 million dollar IRA? Pays little to no taxes until 2010/2011?
This guy has money on the brain. More so than power, and that will be his downfall. He never took the time to learn any more than money. He clearly doesn't get people, so how can he govern them?
Throw in Romney's well-documented cruelty to humans, cruelty to animals, and compulsive lying there you have it: classic sociopath.

Spend Your Bingo Winnings On The Latest Autumn Makeup Trends
Thu, 09/03/2009 - 14:37 — Rachel Reed
Bingo lovers who have recently come into their winnings should brush up on the latest beauty trends and splash some cash on new makeup. However, many may be unsure of what look suits them for autumn, how to apply it and when to wear each look.
Fear not, for help is on hand, as beauty expert Zara Rabinowicz said that there are some simple steps ladies can take when applying their products. Preparation is the key as the new season brings different weather and while playing their online bingo games women should apply a creamier cleanser and a serum to bolster skin for more humidity.
Hair is another area ladies need to prepare for and a good mask, such as one from Andrew Collinge, can be a great buy with bingo winnings, the expert stated. "Your hair may have welcomed the summer's heat but it's likely all those long balmy evenings will have dried out the colour - especially if you have treated hair."
Makeup is the next step and ladies should look over their makeup bag and update it in between bingo games. Foundation is the first area which needs to be looked at, with Ms Rabinowicz suggesting that a lighter shade may be needed if the summer glow has slipped.
A good lipstick can set off an outfit well and nourishing ingredients should be a top priority, especially for older ladies. More mature bingo ladies should also take note of their skin conditions and start preventing against the signs of ageing.
Ms Rabinowicz said that any products with collagen in them are great for plumping out skin and helping to renew its cells. The harsh weather of winter, particularly in the UK, can aggravate the loss of collagen and accelerate the ageing process, so preparing against this is key.
"I'd suggest adding an intensive night cream to your routine ... and that an intensive hand cream should become part of your daily routine," she added, saying: "Keep drinking water, as a hydrated body will give you a head start in your battle with the elements."
However, bingo ladies need not spend all of their bingo winnings on a pot of cream as a recent survey by Which? found that a moisturiser worth £3 performed as well as more expensive brands. The company tested 12 anti-ageing eye creams and found that Simple Kind to Skin Replenishing Rich Moisturiser, costing £3.21, made the face look "visibly younger".
As for the shades for autumn, beauty journalist Karen Kay suggested glamour is the key as the catwalk is emulating the 1940s look. A bit of glitter and smoky eyes are a top look for bingo fans heading out for a night on the town, with ruby red lips being great for the bold. But ladies should bear in mind that the shocking red look may not suit them all and the shade of lipstick should be tailored to the skin tone.
However, top advice from the expert is: "Don't be dictated by trends - wear colours and styles that suit your skin tone and face shape and your lifestyle, that way your natural beauty will shine through and you won't look like a fashion victim."

Thank you, everyone, for your Comments on Monday's post — I really appreciate your helping me suss out what it takes to take cheese to the next level. I tried to do too much in a 4 1/2-inch x 7 inch space…re-works are in the works.
Today's topic is: How far can you go with charcuterie?
This is an illustration that was in the proposal for my Damn France Book that I sent to my publishers at Bloomsbury over a year ago. But now, after having illustrated the rest of the book, this picture doesn't do it for me. Or, I should say: I don't think this picture gives enough for a reader (and not just any reader: my reader) to look at. So I've re-done it (to take it to the next level, as they say).
I should mention that there was also a technical reason I had to change this illustration. When I proposed the book, I wanted it to be in an 8 " x 8″ format. Bloomsbury came back and said that they wanted the Damn France Book to be a partner to my first book, and in the same trim size — 8″ x 9″. So my page layout had to go from square to rectangle — I had to re-do every single page of the first three chapters. If I were lazier I would have just left this illustration in its original size, but I'm persnickety.
And because I'm persnickety, it's taken me weeks and weeks to get the French Bread page right.
It started out like this:
But I quickly replaced it with this:
Which I hated. You see, I have a very clear idea about how French bread should be painted, and it's not like this. Because, while I think it's OK to paint cheese and charcuterie with my usual up-tight attention to detail, French bread has to be done with a much lighter, looser touch. A lightness and looseness of touch that (see above) does not come easily to me. I knew I would have to practise and practise to get that gossamer tactility that I wanted:
Let me show you what I mean. This is the wrong way to paint French bread(too much paint, too many brush strokes, to much fussiness):
And this (one of my more successful practice sketches) is the (loose, light) right way:
When it comes to French bread my inspiration is not the great, glossy, super art-directed pages that I love to find in shelter magazines (like I showed you on Monday). My inspiration is the feather-soft work of Mozelle Thompson, whose work can be found on the front and backs of my beloved vintage LPs which I collect for their priceless nostalgic images of France that puts me in the mood to do a whole Damn France Book. Ah, those old 33 1/3 records were once the epitome of cool, modern, foreign, sophistication.
This is an album with Mozelle's art work on it (front and back) from 1958:
This vintage album:
has this Mozelle on the back (it's unsigned, but her style is unmistakable):
And this little Mozelle beauty:
is on the back of this 1957 album:
So when I was painting my French bread, I tried my best to channel the light-as-air paint brush of Mozelle Thompson:
And this is what I got:
Do you recognize the typeface I used for Le Pain? Here's a hint:
The point of all this, dear patient readers, is that it doesn't pay to think that inspiration can only come from on high. I mean from the high horses of the sanctioned gatekeepers of official culture: museums, coffee table art books, college-level classes, galleries, big-time art directed glossy beautiful shelter magazines. Aim low, my friends; find inspiration in the dusty bargain bins of neighborhood thrift stores.

Black as can be. Creamy, smudge proof, water proof beautiful. This is one gel liner that blows absolutely every single one I have tried out of the water. It's dirt cheap too. There's not much to say about it except. GO BUY it!!!!!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Why? Why on earth does a company discontinue hg products? I really love this eyeliner and i used mac, bobbi brown etc.. this was the best. I am so sorry to hear this will be discontinued. I couldn't have a chance to buy backups :(
I've been using this for around two months now and the formula is great as ever, it hasn't dried out or anything and there's still heaps left. I have really oily eyelids, like y'all don't even know, so of course this doesn't stay on for me all day, not even with the too faced eye shadow primer. It's wet so I have to set it with eyeshadow or powder before and after I apply it but overall for the price and compared to other products that are triple it's price, it performs better in my opinion. So don't expect miracles if you have really oily eyelids (like me) and it'll start smudging around the third hour mark and give you panda eyes on a really hot Australian day but it's wearable on an every day basis.
I've always avoided eyeliners because I'm not able to put it properly. Midnight in Paris was on sale so I decided to buy it for a silly price. Wow - even without a proper brush, I managed to achieve wonderful line that stayed and stayed for hours. Midnight in Paris is really black and I'm longing to try the brown one, but I can't find it anywhere :( Amazing thing, would definitely buy again and again.

Wow!! I'm so glad to see the good reviews for this, because it deserves it! For the price it is seriously amazing!! SOOO black! I bought a $3 brush from an art store to apply, and it applies amazingly. I have yet to master the art of perfect looking eye liner though, but obviously this isn't to blame for my lack of skill. It's really creamy, and just applies so beautifully. It is the first gel liner I've bought, but I've tried the Maybelline one, and it is nowhere near as creamy or black. And I feel absolutely no need or temptation to buy the Bobbi Brown or Mac one, especially not at ridiculous Australian retain prices. The fact that this isn't overpriced is such a bonus, because even brands like Maybelline and Covergirl are overpriced in Australia (compared to US prices), so I'm impressed that Essence has been able to maintain reasonable prices here. Recommend this 100%.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Why oh why did i ever paid more that 3,99$ for a gel eyeliner??
This by FAR the best i've used. And I was a big fan of the MAC one.
Now this is a long wear eyeliner. I mean from 6 am to 10pm. No smudges, no fading, no nothing. I am an eyeliner girl, it's part of my everyday makeup routine. I prefer gels than pencils although you have to master the angled brush (and buy a good one, like MAC)
The winning recipe for a perfect cat-eye is gel + brush.
Anyway the texture of this gel is much more watery than MAC's. Do not plunge the brush into it, you will end up having to wipe most of it before continuing.
It dries quickly so if you made a mistake, do correct it ASAP otherwise, you might have to remove everything and start over.
But really, this is HG.
5 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is my new HG baby! I have super oily eyelids (it takes 4-5 full oil blotting films per day for my face) and had real big trouble after my skinfood choco eyeline jam was discontinued. I knew I need to find a substitutable one that has good staying power, don't smudge easily, and not too expensive. Then I came across many positive reviews of this essence gel eyeliner and decided to buy one in '01 : midnight in paris'. It is really everything I want :) better staying power than my old liner, and can easily wipe out with creamy remover. It does smudge only a little after my afternoon nap, which is acceptable since I drew inner lines also. Dirt cheap like about $5 in my country. Overall this one is highly recommended!!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
WOW. Hands down the BEST gel liner I have EVER used. I am a huge fan of M.A.C., and their gel liner is good -- I've used Make Up Forever's gel liner, Sephora, and e.l.f. All of those are meant to be completely waterproof, but they are not really. Especially the MUF. Anyway -- for $3.99, you get a ton of product, and Essence's gel is a lovely consistency, soft and smooth, and glides on effortlessly. So far I've only been able to get this in black, but it is a gorgeous black, very dark and pitch black. Doesn't smear or budge at all, but still removes fairly easily with waterproof eye make up remover. (I use Sephora's waterproof eye make up remover). Would definitely recommend and repurchase! :)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I tried this in Midnight in Paris after reading all the good reviews. I love eyeliner, but I hate the messy, smudgy, end of the day look. I also hate the faded look. This was beautiful. It was easy to apply with my Quo precision liner brush. The black color really did stay all day on my upper lash line without fading or smudging. I used it for several days with the UD lid primer and it was perfect. (My lids can get pretty oily).
I will say, however, that it did smudge a bit one day when I did not use the primer (I noticed that at bedtime, and I think I had been rubbing my eyes.). I also tried tightlining my upper lash line only and had some transfer to my lower waterline over the course of the day. Even so, it is the most pigmented, longest lasting liner I have tried, and it is so cheap. As soon as I get a chance, I will be trying the other colors.
It's black, it's creamy, it's easy to use, it stays put, it's great.

It's a gameday Saturday, but it's not a Boston College football gameday Saturday. So, let's talk about the best thing to come out of my alma mater since Father Neenan, who just turned 85 years young this week: Boston College Eagles hockey.
The Eagles have won six games in a row now, and dropped the Providence Friars last night, 5-2. Johnny Gaudreau continues his demolition of college hockey with four more points, while Kevin Hayes picked up his 100th-career point on an empty-net goal. Gaudreau has 39 points (19g, 20a) in his last twenty games, now at 15-straight with at least one point. He keeps this up and they can start etching the Hobey soon.
York on Gaudreau: "People were asking last year, what else can Johnny do? He just wants to keep getting better."
— Scott McLaughlin (@smclaughlin9) January 11, 2014
If his best is yet to come, watch the hell out, Hockey East.
And speaking of those two:
One HUGE game note from @BCHockeyNews' big win. Johnny Gaudreau is now tied with…JERRY YORK…in the career points records! (134) #WeAreBC
— BC Hockey (@BCHockeyNews) January 11, 2014
Meanwhile, the football team is making news, and that's because it would seem a new player will come on board: offensive lineman Ian Silberman, who is ditching Bobby Petrino and Louisville to come to the Heights.
Per his mom, former #Gators OL Ian SIlberman is transferring to Boston College.
— Nick de la Torre (@NickdelaTorreGC) January 10, 2014
Like Matt Patchan, Silberman is a refugee from the Florida Gators and a former four-star recruit who is reunited with Steve Addazio. If, like Patchan, he turns out to be a successful reclamation project, he will be of large help to the Eagles next season.
Next up, the Eagles basketball team plays Virginia Tech today at high noon. This team's last Division I win was before Thanksgiving. It's the middle of January. Speaks for itself. If you have a high tolerance for pain, check this one out on NESN locally.
Finally, on a lighter note, Boston College baseball players (amongst others) have been participating in a service trip to Louisiana to rebuild Katrina-destroyed areas. Over eight years later, there is still work to be done, and our guys and girls are truly being men and women for others.

Introduction to HBase Mean Time to Recover (MTTR) - HBase Resiliency
A fantastic post by Nicolas Liochon and Devaraj Das looking into possible HBase failure scenarios and configurations to reduce the Mean Time to Recover:
There are no global failures in HBase: if a region server fails, all the other regions are still available. For a given data-subset, the MTTR was often considered as around ten minutes. This rule of thumb was actually coming from a common case where the recovery was taking time because it was trying to use replicas on a dead datanode. Ten minutes would be the time taken by HDFS to declare a node as dead. With the new stale mode in HDFS, it's not the case anymore, and the recovery is now bounded by HBase alone. If you care about MTTR, with the settings mentioned here, most cases will take less than 2 minutes between the actual failure and the data being available again in another region server.
Stepping away for a bit, it looks like the overall complexity comes from the various components involved in HBase (ZooKeeper, HBase, HDFS) and their own failure detection mechanisms. If they are not correctly configured and ordered, things can get pretty ugly; ugly as in longer MTTR than one would expect.

Cassandra anti-patterns: Queues and queue-like datasets or when Deletes can bite
Aleksey Yeschenko has an interesting post about the impact deletes can have on Cassandra and different workaround solutions:
Specifically, tombstones will bite you if you do lots of deletes (especially column-level deletes) and later perform slice queries on rows with a lot of tombstones.
I wouldn't call this a "you got your data model wrong", but rather a known implementation limitation that has impact on some scenarios in which a different data model should be used; the difference, while only semantic, is that the error is not on the user.
In other words, if you use column-level deletes (or expiring columns) heavily and also need to perform slice queries over that data, try grouping columns with close "expiration date" together and getting rid of them in a single move.

The Master-Slave Architecture of HBase
Fantastic post by Matteo Bertozzi looking at HBase's master-slave architecture:
At first glance, the Apache HBase architecture appears to follow a master/slave model where the master receives all the requests but the real work is done by the slaves. This is not actually the case, and in this article I will describe what tasks are in fact handled by the master and the slaves.

HBase Data Modeling Tips & Tricks - Timeshifting
Jeff Kolesky describing the data model they are using with HBase and one (strange) trick to reduce the roundtrips to the database:
The idea is to put all of the data about a single entity into a single row in HBase. When you need to run a computation that involves that entity's data, you have quick access to it by the row key, and all of the data is stored close together on disk.
Additionally, against many suggestions from the HBase community, and general confusion about how timestamps work, we are using timestamps with logical values. Instead of just letting the region server assign a timestamp version to each cell, we are explicitly setting those values so that we can use timestamp as a true queryable dimension in our gets and scans.
In addition to the real timeseries data that is indexed using the cell timestamp, we also have other columns that store metadata about the entity.
It's amazing how many smart and weird tricks engineers put in their production systems when having to deal with real requirements and SLAs.

- UI uses Flot and is client side rendered.
- Ability to customize UI.
- Relative time now includes month and supports leap years.
- Modular data store interface supports:
- HBase
- Cassandra
- H2 (For development)
- Milliseconds data support when using Cassandra.
- Rest API for querying and submitting data.
- Build produces deployable tar, rpm and deb packages.
- Linux start/stop service scripts.
- Faster.
- Made aggregations optional (easier to get raw data).
- Added abilities to import and export data.
- Aggregators can aggregate data for a specified period.
- Aggregators can be stacked or "piped" together.
Source code lives on GitHub. Let's see where it goes.

5 Steps to Benchmarking Managed NoSQL - DynamoDB Vs Cassandra
Ben Bromhead (instaclustr) for High Scalability:
To determine the suitability of a provider, your first port of call is to benchmark. Choosing a service provider is often done in a number of stages. First is to shortlist providers based on capabilities and claimed performance, ruling out those that do not meet your application requirements. Second is to look for benchmarks conducted by third parties, if any. The final stage is to benchmark the service yourself.
✚ Peter Bailis asks a very valid question: if it's the default YCSB and it's a benchmark, where are the results?"
✚ instaclustr offers a totally managed hosting solution for Cassandra. (Disclaimer: they've sponsored myNoSQL in the past)

Improving Secondary Index Write Performance in Cassandra 1.2
Sam Tunnicliffe's describes the old and new, optimized behavior of secondary indexes writes in Cassandra 1.2:
While secondary indexes can add a lot of flexibility to the way data is modelled and accessed, they do add complexity on the server side as the indexes need to be kept in sync with the primary data. Until recently, this has led to some significant trade offs in write throughput and IO utilisation as we always had to perform a read before the write in order to update any relevant secondary indexes. In Cassandra 1.2, this area has been substantially reworked to remove the need for read-before-write. New index entries are now written at the same time as the primary data is updated and old entries removed lazily at query time. Overall, this has lead to some decent performance improvements.

Cassandra at Adobe: The Profile Cache Servers
The team I know at Adobe has invested a lot into HBase and they are offering their services globally. But according to this PDF, in a true polyglot database manner, it looks like other parts of the Adobe business have opted for a different solution: Cassandra. The size of the cluster mentioned in the whitepaper is pretty small, 16 nodes, but what is interesting is that these are beafy servers using solid state drives:
The PCS is comprised of large servers using solid state drives (SSDs) for storage […] The PCS is basically Cassandra with a set of custom APIs built on top of it.

Introduction to Apache HBase Snapshots
Matteo Bertozzi introduces HBase snapshots:
Prior to CDH 4.2, the only way to back-up or clone a table was to use Copy/Export Table, or after disabling the table, copy all the hfiles in HDFS. Copy/Export Table is a set of tools that uses MapReduce to scan and copy the table but with a direct impact on Region Server performance. Disabling the table stops all reads and writes, which will almost always be unacceptable.
In contrast, HBase snapshots allow an admin to clone a table without data copies and with minimal impact on Region Servers. Exporting the snapshot to another cluster does not directly affect any of the Region Servers; export is just a distcp with an extra bit of logic.
The part that made me really curious and that didn't make too much sense when first reading the post is "clone a table without data copies". But the post clarifies what the snapshot is:
A snapshot is a set of metadata information that allows an admin to get back to a previous state of the table. A snapshot is not a copy of the table; it's just a list of file names and doesn't copy the data. A full snapshot restore means that you get back to the previous "table schema" and you get back your previous data losing any changes made since the snapshot was taken.
What I still don't understand is how snapshots are working after a major compaction (which drops deletes and expired cells).

Green and lean at NYC movie theaters
Eco-friendly movie concessions could curb harmful habits.
Sun, May 23, 2010 at 11:06 PM
GREEN SCREEN: The Angelika Film Center is among select New York City movie theaters offering concessions that promote personal and environmental health. (Photo: savemejebus/Flickr)
The familiar aroma of steaming buttery morsels; the sound of crunching amid uproarious laughter; the taste of subsidized, pesticide-ridden corn harvested from vast industrial monocultures — yes, there's nothing like a good ol' tub of American popcorn.
Most moviegoers are quite satisfied with the American ritual in which friends, families and lovers alike binge on heaps of factory farm corn stewing in pools of oil and sodium. To be fair, occasional gluttony at the movies is nothing to discourage; theaters are meant for tradition, escape and indulgence. Unfortunately, that atmosphere cloaks calories and reckless agribusiness. Luckily for conscious consumers who vote with their dollars, there are now ways to enjoy movie popcorn while making a gentler impact on personal and environmental health.
The easiest of these ways should be choosing theaters with organic, all natural popcorn and snacks. Yet the organic-obsessed metropolis we call New York City oddly offers few such options. During this summer blockbuster season, the list of green and healthy concession counters is short but valuable.
IFC Theater
323 Sixth Ave. at 3rd St.
(212) 924-7771
IFC is one of the city's only venues serving certified organic popcorn. You can also buy such snacks as dried fruit and nut mixes or assorted pastries and baked goods from Sacred Chow, a local vegan eatery. This historic building, once the Waverly Theater, reopened in 2005 as a state-of-the-art cinema for independent, foreign and documentary films.
Landmark Sunshine Cinema
143 East Houston St. on Lower East Side
(212) 330-8182
Here you'll find "gourmet concessions" such as vegan cookies, an espresso bar and popcorn with eight different seasonings. The popcorn isn't organic, but Landmark Theaters did launch "EcoSelect" popcorn bags in each of its 55 theaters this past April. These certified natural fiber bags are 100 percent biodegradable. Nearly 50 percent of the energy used to manufacture EcoSelect bags comes from hydropower and renewable bio-fuels.
Angelika Film Center and Cafe
13 West Houston St. at Mercer St.
(212) 995-2000
Again there is no organic popcorn, but this theater sells local Sacred Chow food as well. You can enjoy vegan salads and deli sandwiches right at the lobby cafe.
Film Forum
209 West Houston St. between 6th Ave. and Varick St.
(212) 727-8110
This concession counter serves Naked Orville Redenbacher kernels popped in peanut oil and optional sea salt, offering a slightly healthier alternative compared to conventional theaters with higher sodium and saturated fat levels.
So why do healthy, green concessions even matter?
Americans consume 17.3 billion quarts of popcorn per year, according to the National Agricultural Library. It is likely that the Meccas of popcorn eating - i.e. movie theater chains - significantly affect demand for industrial corn. Movie theaters not only use massive amounts of subsidized corn kernels and syrups, but also subsidized vegetable oils.
To you, theater popcorn may be an occasional and harmless indulgence. Yet that same indulgence every day in every audience in every theater chain across the country leaves quite the footprint. What's more, some people go to the movies once a week, meaning they may consume more than three Big Macs worth of calories in each weekend's popcorn tub.
Why don't more theaters think it matters?
Theaters make most of their money on concessions, so they benefit from frugal cost cutting on snacks. Organic kernels are expensive. Meanwhile, popcorn from subsidized corn is cheaper than the bag it comes in. Coconut oil — a butter substitute with extremely high saturated fat — is cheaper than butter and doesn't have to be refrigerated. And most people already gripe over concessions prices as they are.
Then there are the factors of tradition, escape and indulgence linked to every theater experience. High-calorie and processed snacks are part of a deeply-rooted American moviegoing custom, thanks to careful marketing. Health and environmental concerns are rarely considered in such a mechanical, entertainment-oriented part of our culture.
Homemade kernel concoctions
Whether you're boycotting theater popcorn or just enjoying your home theater, making popcorn from scratch lets you be creative while taking control of your health and environmental impact. Olive oil and sea salt are just the beginning of healthier and fresher tasting kernels. You can get creative with organic popcorn recipes, or try unique brands like 479 Popcorn, which offers organic concoctions like Madras Curry Coconut with Cashews, Black Truffle with White Cheddar and much more.
Demand better choices
Average moviegoers will eat wisely only when theaters offer healthy options conveniently on a silver platter (or celebrity-clad cardboard tub). That means conscious consumers like you must be the ones to take action and demand better menus.
First, try choosing healthy concessions or responsible theaters. When you don't see a proper outlet to vote with your dollars, speak up. Tell local theaters you want organics on the menu. Start with smaller city theaters with stronger ties to the community. Some consumers are already taking action using Facebook to gain support or start petitions. Consumer movements involving boycotts, blogs, social media groups can be powerful, so never underestimate your ability to bring greener business practices to your community.

The Measure of a Man: Becoming a Disciplined Man
- Wednesday, November 17, 2004
Anyone who has done much counseling is well aware of how these three dimensions interrelate. When we are not functioning well physically, it affects both our psychological and our spiritual lives. When we are not functioning well mentally and emotionally (our psychological dimension), it affects our physical and spiritual lives. And when we are out of God's will spiritually, it affects us physically and psychologically.
Maintaining Physical and Psychological Health
When you feel depressed and God seems far away, it's important to determine your physical and emotional condition. Are you exercising regularly? Are you getting enough rest? Are you experiencing any chemical imbalances? What about your hormone levels? This is why it is important to get a complete physical examination at least once a year.
I remember a seminary student coming to me one day having serious doubts about the existence of God. Here was a man preparing for the ministry, and yet he was having difficulty believing in the most important truth in Christianity.
After listening to him share his thoughts and feelings, I asked him how much sleep he had been getting. He had been studying night and day trying to unravel and understand some of the mysteries in the Scriptures. At that point, I asked him to eat a good meal and then to go back to his room and go to bed and sleep as long as he could sleep.
Several days later, the same man came back to see me. Guess what? His spiritual doubts were gone, simply because he had overcome his physical and psychological exhaustion. In many respects, he was just like Elijah, who, after his great victory over the prophets of Baal, wanted to die. His thinking became horribly distorted. He was depressed and disillusioned. God's prescription for bringing healing to Elijah was in essence what I suggested to this young student. God fed Elijah several good meals and then allowed him to sleep. Several days later, Elijah was a different man (see 1 Kings 19:1-8).
Maintaining Spiritual Health
It's also true that as Christians we can experience many of the symptoms just mentioned if we're violating God's will. We lose our appetites; we can't sleep well; we are depressed, edgy and impatient. The problem may be that we're experiencing real guilt over our sins, which is affecting both our psychological and physical well-being.
I knew of a Christian man who was committing adultery with a divorced woman. There is no question that he had a sensitive conscience. In his heart, he wanted to be a strong, disciplined Christian, but he knew he was disobeying God. To complicate his guilt, he also knew that he never intended to marry this woman.
The end result of this man's sin was extreme depression — so much so that he couldn't function well at his job. Normally a high-energy person, he lost his desire to achieve. Though he had experienced several other stressful crises in his life, the main cause of his depression seemed to be his sin of not living out God's will for his life. When he confessed his sin and refocused his spiritual life, the dark cloud that shrouded his soul disappeared.
Conditioning and Concentration
We don't really know who wrote the book of Hebrews, but whoever it was also used the Greek and Roman games to illustrate and describe the disciplines involved in living the Christian life:
Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith (12:1-2).

injustifiiable Thanks a lot for the card recommendation....I will check it out. And yes they are offering the $150 AF waived for the first year. I think I need
to read up this weekend because aside from the 15,000 points, I didn't see how the Gold was earning that many extra points than my Zync, of course
I'm probably reading it wrong..but it seems I can use my Zync points with travel if I have at least 5,000. It says online that I also earn 2x the points on travel
when using my Zync. There is probably small print somewhere that I'm not reading..but I'll read through it tonight.
Credit314 Thanks, was a slight surprise to be approved for Zync I read through the forums and a lot of people were advising to have a 690+ score before appying..but I bit the bullet anyway
jsucool76 Thank you for the input, yes the AF is waived. Yes I just looked online, the PRG looks great, I know I don't qualify for that card but 25,000 point bonus, 2x on gas and groceries is nice. I'll probably wait a few months and look for a really good CR card.
Revelate I'm only interested in dining as well...seems like I'm celebrating a birthday or function every month. Racking up those giftcards would be great.
