Guestbook comments from the owner
I wanted to relay what a fantastic house this is for what it offers and for its location. Set in a nice quiet area with great views of both the city and the ocean, we couldn't have asked for more. As a group of 12, the house accommodated our needs due to us having children in the party, but for space 9 adults/persons would be perfect (as it advertises). The house is clean and offers great space through its lay out; outside has a small garden and lounge area with fireplace, providing the views as well a great place to entertain into the night. In our dealings for this rental everything was handled fantastically and Kathleen could not have been more helpful - correspondences from her were responsive and useful. We had the house as a base for our final days in LA and the location was perfect for us – it offered nearby restaurants and supermarkets, and was a short drive from the Pacific Coast Highway, giving us great access down into Santa Monica and up to Malibu. For a mix of city and beach experiences the location is great. We loved it and only wished we were able to stay longer. Would definitely recommend it and definitely return to it!"

Clustering Lucene with TerraCotta
Engineers at TerraCotta have detailed a new way to cluster lucene, the popular text search library from Apache. Their method involves implementing the lucene RAMDirectory interface and using TerraCotta DSO to share the RAMDirectory across JVMs.
Lucene is a popular, open-source text search library. There are several existing strategies to clustering Lucene. Steve and Orion at TerraCotta noted that it was used in several of the products they use in house and so decided it would be a good test of their clustering software. They first tried to cluster the lucene IndexWriter directly but they ran into some problems and so switched to using RAMDirectory.
Orion describes the RAMDirectory approach as being straightforward:
As you can see, dealing with the index is pretty simple. This example code isn't really any different with clustering enabled than it is without clustering. In fact, turning clustering on and off is as simple as invoking java with or without a couple of Terracotta options.
Orion has provided some example code, which he admits is unpolished, and promises to post a cleaned up version along with instructions soon.

Redesigning The Country Selector
- By Christian Holst
- November 10th, 2011
- 171 Comments
The country selector. It's there when you create an account for a new Web service, check out of an e-commerce store or sign up for a conference. The normal design? A drop-down list with all of the available countries. However, when conducting a large session of user testing on check-out usability (which we wrote about here on Smashing Magazine back in April 2011), we consistently found usability issues with the massive country selector drop-downs.
Jakob Nielsen reported similar issues as far back as 2000 and 2007 when testing drop-downs with a large number of options, such as state and country lists. So, this past summer we set out to redesign the country selector. This article focuses on the four design iterations we went through before arriving at the solution (free jQuery plugin included).Read more...

Returns Information
Many of the products we offer are customizable, with cushions that are made-to-order. As a result, some of the manufacturers we sell do not accept returns of these items (except in the case of incorrect or defective items).
For those manufacturers that accept NON DAMAGED returns, the following information applies. All returns must be in original packaging and be received in original, new and re-stockable condition in order to receive a refund less return shipping charges and a maximum 15% factory re-stocking fee if applicable. Please contact us at for details.
After we receive and inspect your return, we will refund the credit card used for the purchase less return shipping fees and factory re-stocking fees if applicable. We never keep your credit card information on file so you will receive a call from one of our Customer Service Experts to process your refund.
Return shipping charges and factory re-stocking fees are not refundable (except in the case of incorrect or defective items). Shipping charges and factory re-stocking fees will be deducted from the total refund amount. Due to shipping costs, we cannot offer any refunds or exchanges for orders delivered beyond the continental USA.
Damaged, Defective or Incorrect Items - 14 Days From Delivery Policy
When your order arrives, be sure to inspect it to ensure that you received the correct products and that they were not damaged during transit. If you notice damages, be sure to note the damages with the delivery driver before you sign for it and contact our customer service department immediately. Although we experience very little concealed damages, we recommend (for large truck LTL deliveries) that you sign the delivery receipt notating "Pending Inspection". If you experience concealed damage, notating this for future reference will assist us with your claim process.
We know that sometimes it's not possible to notice all discrepancies before unpacking everything, long after the carrier has left. In such a case, please contact our Customer Service Experts within 14 Days of delivery and they will be happy to address the situation.
In all cases of damaged and incorrect shipments, we will gladly replace the item and the cost of shipping the item back to us for exchange.

Please repack the item to be returned securely in the original packaging. Please write your RMA number in large characters on the outside of the box.

Caluco extends warranty coverage to the original retail purchaser that all cushions will be free from material and manufacturing defects for one (1) year from the date of purchase.

Nice qualityHad specific item I was shopping for though a bit pricey. Nice quality although I expected to be a bit thicker.
boxed double chaise cushionThis is the first time I have ordered from this company and I will tell you they will be added to my favorite company to order from ! The stiching and the fabric was beautiful. It was delivered on time for my party.
Boxed Double Chaise CushionGreat product, very well made. Was hard choosing the right fabric, it would have been easier to see the cushions in the fabric instead of just the sample swatch. Not I'm 100% happy with the fabric.
Extremely satisfiedVery pleased. Ordered this in the Sunbrella "Davidson Redwood" and it is just as pictured. The workmanship is exceptional. It did take some time to receive, but being custom made one can expect that...Well worth the wait.
Fantastic!While it took a little time to get this cushion-it was worth the wait! Well made and beautiful, highly recommend this product. Sunbrella material is the BEST. Water just rolls right off of it. The cushion was rained on and did not absorb any water. Fantastic!

Update: Click "Listen Now" above to watch Troy's "Don't Fall" video.
With all the starry-eyed couples out spending time together this Valentine's Day, even the most contented singles are likely to feel a pang or two of longing for that special someone. Before you go tumbling head-over-heels for the first guy or girl who crosses your path, though, take a listen to Troy N?KA's first DJBooth feature, a musical PSA highlighting romance's potential hazards. Premiered last week on Fader, Don't Fall finds producer T-Wiz (Troy's production alter-ego) juxtaposing rock guitar with atmospheric synths and pummeling four-on-the-four percussion as the buzzmaking singer/songwriter/producer (a behind-the-scenes collaborator with such R&B notables as Chris Brown and Frank Ocean) reminds us that, "love doesn't die, but it can kill you." Guest emcee T. Coles lends a hand on the front, lamenting the difficulty of finding a woman truly worthy of his affection: "Sh*t, what I gotta do to meet a chick / that got her mind right, and got her grind tight?" As timely as it is musically innovative, this cautionary jam is just one of many quality cuts slated to appear on Troy N?KA's Free Dreaming album, due out in mid-March.

COLLISION OF DOYLESTOWN Call 215-345-8080 Please apply at http://www.fredbeans.com HIRING BODY SHOP, METAL, AND PAINT TECHNICIANS
From Holy Cross to Virginia Tech to the Chicago Cubs organization, Mark Zagunis has officially signed his first professional baseball contract.
Chemistry ... in the classroom it's a subject some students dread while coaches strive to develop it among their athletes on the playing field.
CHERRY HILL — The Colin Stringham Show was not quite enough to save Holy Cross in the opening round of the South Jersey Non-Public A baseball tournament Wednesday.
With the regular season winding down, it's safe to say that the high school baseball teams in Burlington County have had an excellent year, collectively.
BORDENTOWN — Vincent Naurath admits to not having many pitches in his arsenal. Wednesday night in the Burlington County Scholastic League Tournament championship game, he didn't need many.
DELRAN — Defense may not have won Holy Cross a championship Monday, but it put the Lancers into the Burlington County Scholastic League baseball tournament final.
DELRAN — Whether the score is 1-0 or 12-8, Cinnaminson and Holy Cross always deliver an entertaining affair.
BURLINGTON TWP. — Must-win games are sometimes the easiest to win. Burlington Township, struggling out of the gate, needed a win entering Tuesday's Burlington County Scholastic League game against Holy Cross.
DELRAN — For Holy Cross coach Steve Paolini, it was personal.
BORDENTOWN TWP. — When you're one of two seniors on a squad, leadership is a characteristic that's expected.
MOORESTOWN — Sophomore Jared Gold had only started one other game and his batterymate, senior catcher Alex Campbell, had yet to hit a home run this season.
DELRAN — It's hard to imagine that when Greg Luzinski and son Ryan step on a baseball diamond there could be any memories left to be had.
DELRAN — Looking at a 3-0 count in a game tied at 3 with the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh inning, you would think Dominic Gallone would be taking all the way.
CINNAMINSON — There was no doubt that Tuesday's Burlington County Scholastic League Patriot Division baseball clash between Cinnaminson and Holy Cross figured to be a good game.
With two outs in the fourth inning Holy Cross' coach Steve Paolini comes out to the mound to talk to his pitcher 3-Joe Mackie and catcher 45-David Noworyta.
So we're about three weeks into the baseball season and my head's spinning.
Pitching a no-hitter in baseball is more than just a statistic. It's more than a mere accomplishment in sports.
DELRAN — Every time Holy Cross meets Delran, in any sport, it's always going to be a battle. Tuesday afternoon's baseball game between the cross-town rivals was no different.
DELRAN — Every pitcher dreams of throwing a no-hitter just once in their lives. Few get to live it.
Holy Cross head coach Steve Paolini expected John Adryan's senior season to be good. He just didn't know it was going to be this good.
DELRAN — It was a rematch of the NJSIAA South Jersey Non-Public South B title game from a year ago, and as they say, history does tend to repeat itself.
BORDENTOWN — Chris Glenn knows what John Adryan is all about.
DELRAN — Moorestown had all kinds of chances, but only one Chance.

Looking for an expert answer on the can 'o beans myself. i believe it increases the chance the plumber will pass gas. there's an achievement that makes me think you can ignite the gas with a bomb. rapid fire lets you throw a little faster. if you notice, the item you throw take a fraction of a second to reappear. with rapid fire, the item stays there, enabling you to toss a bit sooner.
Answer from: Mrspopular21
Serialk is right I am pretty sure that the can of beans does that I was wondering about that too!

The rapid fire gives you unlimited ice (or whatever you throw) for a short amount of time.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 06/19/14 -- Piston Cloud Computing, Inc., the enterprise OpenStack® company, today announced its role as a collaborator in releasing the results of the fourth annual Future of Cloud Computing Survey, conducted by North Bridge Venture Partners, Gigaom Research, and supported by more than 70 other collaborating organizations.
This year's survey is the largest to date, and is the industry's deepest and broadest examination of the cloud technology revolution. It analyzed the inhibitors and drivers behind cloud adoption, separating the hype surrounding the cloud from genuine industry trends and real world cases across a sample of 1,358 respondents. See the complete findings slideshow here: 2014 Future of Cloud Computing survey, along with analysis and commentary on the results here: http://mjskok.com/resource/2014-future-cloud-computing-4th-annual-survey-results.
"With four years of data, we're now really beginning to see some interesting trends, such as the five-fold increase in SaaS adoption to 74% and the nearly six-fold increase in PaaS adoption to 41%," said Michael Skok, founder of the Future of Cloud program and General Partner, North Bridge Venture Partners.
Select Highlights from the Survey Data
- 49% of respondents in this year's survey are using cloud to fuel revenue generation or new product creation.
- 56% of businesses are using Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) technologies to harness elastic computing resources.
- 41% of businesses are using Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) technologies to prototype and develop new applications.
- Two thirds of respondents believe their data will come to reside in some form of cloud over the next two years as bigger data needs consolidation and collaboration & creation go online.
- Interoperability saw a significant decrease from 27% last year to 17% in 2014 with greater attention being paid to issues like data portability.
- Fear of vendor lock-in was still 29%, which has increased interest and adoption in open source cloud projects like OpenStack.
"In the majority of situations, agility, reduction in capital expenditures, and reduced operating expenditures were the primary drivers of cloud adoption," said Jim Morrisroe, CEO of Piston. "We also expect to see an increase in cloud adoption as a result of the recent explosion in big data analytics, next-gen web application development, and line of business innovation."
Transition To Cloud - The First Cloud Front
"This wave of cloud computing that's revenue and new business driven is good news for long-suffering IT execs," said David Card, Vice President of Gigaom Research. "If they can offload tedious but necessary cost-center functions, and refocus resources on cloud-driven new business, they might be able to retake their seat at the C-table."
"Even though it's largely just a transition of existing apps, the first cloud front has rolled in confidently each year as existing applications transition to the cloud and are adopted as SaaS solutions. Cloud is now integral to business with 45% of executives saying they currently or plan to run their business in the cloud," said Michael Skok, General Partner at North Bridge Venture partners.
Transformation In The Cloud - The Second Cloud Front
"With over 11,000 Cloud Services / APIs, and developer adoption of IaaS at 56% and PaaS at 46% respectively we are going to begin seeing the birth of new, re-imagined, cloud-native applications," said Skok. "These applications, which are only possible in the cloud, will result in an order of magnitude greater value creation than the first cloud front. This second cloud front will be transformative."
For more about this second cloud front please visit the "2014 Future of Cloud Computing" results page.
Data Wants To Be Bigger In The Cloud
"If you get your head out of the sand and into the clouds you'll see the explosion of cloud-created data. It's not just big data it's exhaustive data, as everything from clickstreams to commerce and personal cloud lockers create exabytes of data. According to Cisco, personal, cloud-carried data alone is estimated to grow from 1.7 exabytes in 2012 to 20 exabytes by 2017," said Skok.

It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

Chief Minister Raman Singh on Tuesday reiterated his Government's commitment to purchase full quota of paddy from the farmers while also keeping its promise made in the BJP's poll manifesto of providing Rs 300 as bonus amount on per quintal of paddy purchased in the State.
"Besides this, whatever schemes the State Government had launched during the previous years, would be carried out during the budget session of the State Assembly," he stated while addressing media persons in the context of the Governor's address to the State Assembly here. The Chief Minister stated that his Government had already implemented the 'Atal Khetihar Bima Yojana' for farm labourers launched on the birthday of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on December 25 which had also been mentioned in the Governor's address to the State Assembly.
Singh said that the State Government had also fulfilled its promise of providing 150 days of employment (under MGNREGS) with the provision of a month's maternity leave made for the pregnant women employed under the scheme. The share of funds for the rural development schemes had gone up from 4.75 per cent to 6.75 per cent which is set to provide a major boost to the State Government schemes for rural development, he said.
The modernisation of the State's police force was already underway and a thrust would be provided to infrastructure development from Bastar to Surguja region, the Chief Minister said. "For the redressal of all the drinking water problems, the Government would provide solar pumps wherever possible with provision for maximum number of pumps in the State," Singh said.
The State Government was also committed towards providing better training to the college teachers with a target to train 1.40 lakh teachers, he said. "We will take up each point made in the Governor's address today and start addressing them this year and in the coming five years," the Chief Minister said.
In the Governor's address it had been clearly mentioned that the strength of police force in Chhattisgarh had trebled to tackle the insurgency problem with an increase in training facilities and resources for the force. "We had been implementing the policy with a resolve to fulfil the task of ensuring peace and development."
The system to tackle corruption issues was being put in place and the initiative taken up by the Government was to generate mass awareness among the people to tackle the problem.

Students from the University of Maryland's A. James Clark School of Engineering set an unofficial world record of 50 seconds for the duration of a human-powered helicopter flight, far surpassing their 2011 world record of 11.4 seconds with Gamera I and any unofficial flights of prior years. The time will be submitted to the National Aeronautic Association by judge Kris Maynard. The validation process will likely take a few weeks.
"Over the last few days we have witnessed top Clark School student engineers flying an amazing craft they designed and built, resulting in an unofficial new world record of 50 seconds," stated Clark School Dean Darryll Pines. "If you want to know where to find the future of engineering and great new technologies that will make our lives better, this is it."
Dean Pines, together with faculty mentors Inder Chopra and VT Nagaraj, challenged the team to win the American Helicopter Society's Igor I. Sikorsky Human-Powered Helicopter Competition, which requires that a human-powered helicopter fly for 60 seconds, achieve an altitude of three meters sometime during that time, and remain with a 10 square meter area. With its 50-second flight, Gamera II has come closer to the flight duration requirement than any other craft.
The flight occurred on Thursday evening, piloted by Kyle Gluesenkamp. Gluesenkamp is a Ph.D. candidate in the Clark School's mechanical engineering department. He was an alternate pilot for Gamera I. The other pilots who flew Gamera II during this flight session were Colin Gore and Dennis Bodewits. The team will now continue to refine their craft and explore ways to achieve the altitude requirement of the AHS Sikorsky Prize.

Impresses more than it entertains.
Repetitive, aimless, and as frustrating as you'd imagine any two-hour music video to be.
There's so little action or suspense that this Cell isn't too likely to multiply itself into a sequel.
A slender story that's not particularly suspenseful or involving, resulting in a movie that's a feast to the eye but not much for the intellect.
Some movies make you sorry you've seen them, and The Cell is one of those. Creepy and horrific, it's a torture chamber film.

May 5, 2012I am having a hard time wrapping my head around these bad reviews. I am a movie lover who normally is not a big fan of style over substance, but I found this film to have a good story with a well written screenplay. The film uses it's wild imagery to create suspense and to ultimately create a very engaging well paced film. The movie's themes were well laid out and developed and find resolution in a very subtle way. Overall the film ranks high on my favourite serial killer films. Not quite as good as the silence of the lambs but still good none the less.… Expand

Sep 26, 2010Tarsem Singh's directorial debut, The Cell, contains more style than substance, and is weighed down with it's special effects and a side-story that should have been left on the cutting room floor. At the same time, elaborate costuming and great shots that turn the most desolate sand dunes into beautiful landscapes, present a great director in the making and enough story to keep the audience along for the ride.
Catherine Deane (Jennifer Lopez) is a psychotherapist who has been working with a comatose child by getting inside his mind via a virtual reality styled setup that includes a breast accentuating suit, suspension from wires, and a face covering towel that looks like a computer circuit-board. Meanwhile, there's a killer on the loose and the FBI hopes that Catherine can get inside the killer's mind to find his latest victim before it's too late.
It's difficult to discuss The Cell, without mentioning Tarsem's 2006 film The Fall. Because everything Tarsem did wrong in The Cell he did right in The Fall. The Cell was a learning experience for Tarsem, and he learned his lessons well. The Cell is set up like a coin, there are two sides that come together to make one movie, unfortunately one side of the coin is more polished than the other. In this case the polished side is Tarsem's non-CGI visuals, many of which are influenced by great paintings, but the CGI effects are in overload throughout many parts of the film and it's distracting. There are several moments within The Cell that hearken to David Lynch's Twin Peaks (1990-1991), which stands to reason as both, Tarsem and Lynch, are visual directors.
Catherine's story line with the killer, Carl Stargher (Vincent D'Onofrio), is interesting and provides many great visuals. The parallel crime drama storyline, however, is lame, even by C.S.I. standards. Vince Vaughn is passable as Peter Novak, the FBI agent who has a past of his own to overcome, but the character is uninspired. Any actor could have played Peter Novak and it wouldn't have made a difference.
Jennifer Lopez's performance improves with the increasing bizarreness of her costumes, which both come to a peak in the third act. Vincent D'Onofrio is good as the killer, whose fetishes would give Jeffrey Dahmer a run for his money. Although D'Onofrio executed the part well, I can't help but wonder what Philip Seymour Hoffman would have done with the role.
Despite it's flaws, The Cell doesn't leave you empty handed, and it shows a first time director learning his strengths and weaknesses, which payed off six years later when he directed The Fall.… Collapse
Jun 23, 2012I was quite disappointed by this movie. After seeing The Fall by Tarsem I was expecting to be taken on a journey, with interesting characters, a fantasy like story and stunning visuals. But after I Watched the movie I just felt like I had seen your average police thriller. This might be because this was Tarsem's first feature film, or maybe it was because he didn't write the screenplay (whereas he did do in The Fall) but I just wasn't as blown away as I was when I saw The Fall. The overall story basically boils down to your average "we have x hours to find them before they die", which I thought was quite unoriginal. The concept of doing into someone's conscious was interesting, similar to eXistenZ, or Being John Malkovich or the more recent Inception. The acting was alright, nothing really special. The visuals were good (not as good as The Fall or Immortals), there were some interesting scenes but not as much as I hoped for. All in all it was a alright movie, interesting concept but uninteresting story. 6/10.… Expand
May 19, 2013The Cell is rated R for bizarre violence and sexual images, nudity and language. To call The Cell disturbing is a bit of an understatement. I've never winced so many times during one film in my life. However, that is exactly the reaction Tarsem is going for. He doesn't want you to be unmoved. He wants you to be horrified--so horrified that you sometimes can't even watch. There are moments which are so hard to watch, you may feel as if you are really there, experiencing it all firsthand. I won't try and convey the disgusting acts portrayed on screen, as it isn't easy to put into words. This is a film based solely on visuals, and visuals alone. It works. And I know for sure, I won't be forgetting it anytime soon.… Expand
