Thanks, Denny. I appreciate your help!
I rarely if ever rack to secondary anymore. Once you're sure this beer is done fermenting would adding the vanilla into the primary give substandard results?
Ideally I'd rather add the vanilla to the primary, and then rack onto bourbon when I keg it.
Life begins at 60....1.060, that is!www.dennybrew.comhttp://www.experimentalbrew.com - the website for the book "Experimental Homebrewing"...coming Nov. 2014
I poured this at an underground beer festival/private party last weekend. Everyone LOVED it!! Many, many people came up to me and said it was their favorite beer at the festival. Pretty excited since there were quite a few excellent (IMO) beers there. Glad I have another keg aging for the holidays!! Thanks again Denny!!
Check out my nanobrewery!http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Two...02323289804018
Legged this last night, after I had gotten really busy and let it sit on the vanilla for 20 days. I think it's going to need a while to mellow.
Fortunately I had done a 8gal batch so I also kegged almost 3 gal I had split off into a raspberry porter.
The vanilla will fade quite a bit in the first few weeks.
Kegged today. Made this 2 months ago. Went from 1.077 down to 1.017. Two beans after 2 weeks fermentation and Dropped 1.25 oz oak cubes soaked in bourbon. Left oak & vanilla for 7 weeks. A little worried. Slightly vinous character. Wasn't really getting anything else coming through. I believe (or hope) that after a week on gas this mellows and melds.
Alcohol may be man's worst enemy, but the bible says love your enemy.
Tasted it for the first times since kegging tonight. Vanilla has faded a bit and is very pleasant. Beer is quite boozy so I'm curious to see if that boozy taste will mellow a bit. I added the bourbon by pouring 375ml of makers mark into my sanitized keg and then racking the beer on top.
I opened my first one this weekend. I used two vanilla beans (per recipe) and left them in for two weeks, and I have NO vanilla flavor at all. I'm wondering if I should have used more beans or left them in longer. Tastes AMAZING otherwise, though. I'll definitely be brewing this one again!

Facebook has provided the perfect platform for game developers to launch massive social multi-player games.
Just a few of the many amazing Facebook games stats is that over 56 million people play Facebook games every single day!
The reason for this is that Facebook games are a lot of fun to play, either with your very own circle of friends, or with new friends from all over the world.
Here are five of the most fun games available for free now on Facebook.
Word Challenge
Are you a word freak? Does playing scrabble get you excited. Then Word Challenge by Playfish might be for you.
The objective of this game is simple. You get 6 letters out of which you have to construct as many words as you can within a given time. 3- letter words are of course many and you'll be rewarded points for finding them. But the bonus and crown points are for 4 , 5 and 6-letter words. They give you points and more time.
One reason for addiction to this game is their ratings. They have a character corresponding to a range of points. So the lowest score will generate an infant character implying your low vocabulary strength.
Give Word Challenge a play and find out what characters await your word prowess!
The Facebook App for the iPhone

The Facebook App is listed in the Apple App directory as one of the most popular apps of all time.
The first time I used this app I found that it was very easy to navigate and well designed.
All of the different parts of facebook are accessible via large icons.
The only problem with this app is that sometimes it is very slow. If you are searching for a friend it might take a while if you have over a thousand friends.
I have the latest version of the iPhone, the 3Gs, and although the S in 3GS is supposed to stand for speed I found this app to be very slow compared to accessing facebook on a computer.
A better way to access facebook on the iPhone is by using the Safari Web Browser built into the iPhone. Simply surf to: http://iphone.facebook.com/ and enjoy facebook on your iPhone.
The web version of Facebook is optimized for the iPhone and works great. The Auto-complete feature even works as I type a friends name in the search box.
I keep the facebook app installed if I ever want to do a quick status update.
The facebook application is currently shooting up the ranks as one of the most popular applications to date and there are already more than 15,253,000+ iPhone users who have installed the app.
Although the Facebook app for iPhone is slow a nice feature of it is how it is completely ad free.

Chandragupta will now get trained on an island outside Takshashila in Chandragupta Maurya as he prepares for Veer Yatra.
A source says, "Chandragupta has been training in Takshashila with kids who are older than him, hence Chanakya wants him to make it up to the other kids. He has been training Chadragupta separately too.
"In the last episode, Chandragupta fell off the cliff during the dhwani (sound) training. But he will get saved and be taken to an island where Chanakya will introduce him to four different yodhas. These warriors will teach their skills to Chandragupta. They will be very impressed with the little boy for he will master each skill with grace and ease. Post this training he will be ready for the Veer Yatra."
Manish Wadhwa (Chanakya) says, "Yes, he will have to go through training outside the gurukul and this training will help him reach the next level."

Tillis was the front-runner in the NC primary for the entire campaign, but still had to go through that process. In the meantime Hagan has been running ads against him all year, accusing him of gutting education and medicare and all the other tried-and-true Democrat talking points. (Tillis is currently speaker of the house in the NC legislature. The Dems have proposed a host of ridiculous items this year that had no chance of passing, just to create fodder for Hagan. For example, the $500 million "cut" to education that Hagan constantly harps on - the truth is that the education budget actually increased, but by $500 mil less than the Dems asked for.) The bottom line is that Hagan had the first opportunity to define Tillis (most voters couldn´t name anyone in state government beyond the governor)and he is now having to unpaint the image she portrayed of him. Plus, Hagan has tons of money at her disposal.

To correct # 6´s lies. I do not advocate voting for dems except for the US Senate. Remember the "establishment" CoC backed RINO´s won all the senate primaries because WAR was declared on conservatives by mitch mcConnell (the man to replace dingy harry). It makes no sense for a conservative to vote for mitch mcConnell.At least with dingy harry and a R House their agenda is stymied. Does anyone here really think mitch will send bills to obama that face a sure veto, thus a gov shutdown. Remember mitch has already promised he will not allow another shutdown.If/when the "establishment" continues to abuse it´s conservative base the longer they will continue to lose. You need us more than we need you, we have already seen what the CoC establishment promotes and it is not the conservative agenda thus I will not support the backstabbers again.

FTA: Rove made a point to personally insult my book at a GOP convention in Charlotte in 2013, calling it a "poorly researched piece of trash."Rove can´t handle the truth. Wright´s book "W*F? How Karl Rove and the Establishment Lost...Again" skewers the establishment Republicans, who he shortened to GOPe, I hope Wright doesn´t mind if we use that here.From Wright´s book: The subject of Obama's awfulness was not what the establishment wanted because Mitt's not very good at that subject. The arrogant and controlling establishment was telling us to shut up, sit down, and listen to our bettors – and everything would work out just fine. In this way, the GOP establishment is similar to very thing we fight against in the Federal government, the arrogant controlling assumption that the elites know what we really need...They flaunt a faux bipartisanship to gain Washington credibility by trashing other Republicans, especially conservative ones.Wright speaks the absolute truth and if we don´t follow his advice we will lose once again.

Ditto those who say this is a must Must Read.C. Edmund Wright said very clearly and succinctly what many of us have been thinking and saying in one way or another for some time.I know this much. If Republicans adopt liberal policies - if voters with deeply held moral, conservative values are not given a choice of standing for those moral and conservative values at the ballot box - many will not vote. It has nothing to do with animus toward any particular person. It has to do with deliberately supporting something God has condemned. That would mean moving beyond supporting the lesser of two evils to supporting evil. No amount of chiding or rationalizing the "temporary" selling of one´s soul to the devil in order to achieve an immediate purpose will change that. We are at the point of ´choose you this day´.

While there is apparently no love lost between Mr. Wright and Mr. Rove, the article cuts Karl too much slack.It is more than a matter of tactics vs strategy. It is a matter of allegiance. There are (at least) three distinct interest groups in America:1) Investors, corporatists, and globalists - the Wall Street types that back the GOPe;2) The Democrat constituents of dependants, illegal immigrants, labor unions, over the hill sixties hippies and their modern day recruits, and media lackeys;3) Main street blue collar, first level white collar, and independent small business types who work hard, try to follow the rules, and struggle to get by and provide a future for their families. (aka: the "screwees")While there is overlap (picture a Venn diagram) the three are distinct. Immigration is one issue that separates them.Unfortunately for now, there is no political party that represents the third group. Perot´s effort exposed the vacuum (until the aliens landed on Ross´ lawn). The Tea Party movement gained momentum and traction in 2010, but has been co-opted (I believe deliberately) by Agenda 21 and similar issues, and by obsession with 501(c)(3) status. What is needed is a formal, organized political party to represent it.I believe that the GOP is on the same path that led the Whigs into oblivion. The denial the Rove displayed on FNC the evening of 11/6/12, when he challenged Chris Stirewalt´s call of the Ohio results, highlighted that.

At least 16 people were injured, including 11 policemen, in a bomb blast targeting the Karnataka BJP office.
Sources revealed that 500 gm of grade-one explosives were used in the explosion. The bomb appeared to be a locally-made improvised explosive device (IED) , which was planted on a stolen motorbike with the registration number TN 22R 3769. The bike, parked between a van and a car went off around 10.30 am, causing injuries to policemen on security duty as part of the arrangements for the polls.
Five civilians, including three women, were also injured in the blast, which was described as a "clear act of terror" by Deputy Chief Minister and Home Minister R Ashok, saying it was targeted at the party workers and its leaders.
"It is a very clear act of terror… It is targeted at the BJP, our senior leaders and workers", Ashok said. "100 per cent, it is targeted at BJP workers".
He said the injured persons were "out of danger."
The window panes of some buildings were shattered under the impact of the blast with a loud noise heard a long distance away, according to police and eyewitnesses.
He said since it was the election time, party leaders and thousands of workers visit the party office "Jagannath Bhavan".
Ashok said only an investigation would reveal the terror group involved and added that the State Government was in constant touch with the Centre. Significantly, he said the blast had occurred on April 17, the same date when blasts near the Chinnaswamy Stadium in 2010 had left several persons injured.
State DGP Lalrokhuma Pachau said, "Nobody is critically injured. All are being treated at hospital."
A National Investigative Agency team has arrived in Bangalore, he said.
"As of now, we do not know what is the material of the bomb blast. We will know after examination," he said. The BJP office is overflowing with party workers since the past few weeks with State and national leaders frequenting it. Wednesday is the last date for filing of nominations and more rush was expected.
City Police Commissioner Raghavendra Auradkar, citing preliminary investigation, said, "It is an explosion", adding a motorbike with an "incendiary bomb" was used.
The State BJP said the police had confirmed that the bomb was placed in the bike bearing Tamil Nadu registration number.
It said it had happened when party state president, Chief Minister and national leaders could have been present considering the Assembly poll.
Describing the dastardly blast as an attempt to weaken the party's morale, BJP said that its workers need not fear or be cowed down by it.
According to them, police personnel were injured as they rushed out of their vehicle parked nearby the party office on seeing the vehicles going up in flames.
Two of the injured were college students who were returning home after tuition, Shivamurthy, an eye witness, said, adding BJP workers shifted some injured to hospital.
The Centre would start an inquiry into the blast near, Union Home minister Sushil Shinde said.
"I came to know of the Bangalore blast and will start an inquiry into the incident. I will also have interaction with the Karnataka Government and the Police department,"
Shinde said after the Eastern Zonal Council meeting.
Condemning the explosion, BJP leader M Venkaiah Naidu asked the Centre and State Governments to coordinate efficiently to nab the accused.
"I strongly condemn this incident and request upon the Government of Karnataka and also the Centre to immediately have proper coordination and try to find out what exactly happened, who are the people responsible," he said.
"The country has to be alert, because such things are happening in different parts of the country. Centre and States should coordinate and cooperate with each other and try to reach the bottom of the truth and also identify the persons and forces behind such heinous crimes," he added.

Anyone Heard Anything About Morgan's in Rye?
my mom went to there two weeks ago and loved it . Don't know what she had but she said it was fabulous!!!!
I LOVED IT!!! I wrote up a review about it on May 15th? Search for "Morgan's Fish House"....
re: robfood
My BF and I went this past Saturday. We loved it! They seated us on time. Our server was knowledgable and attentive without being overbearing and the food was great. We'll definitely be back. Another plus was the wine list. Very heavy on white wines, but the mark up on most bottles was nominal.
Four of us went to Morgans on Saturday night. 9:15 reservation. Seated at 9:30. They were very nice about it.
They did deliver as promised! My wife had the tuna and I had the grilled salmon. It really was good. Didn't taste like supermarket if you know what i mean. :)
Prepared just right.
We were seated by the glassed in kitchen. What a show. Our waitress was delightful and knowledgeable.
Deserts were pretty darn good too.
Morgans may give the Iron Horse Grill in Pleasantville a run for the money.
We brought our own wine. Corkage was $20 per bottle. I thought the wine list was a little pricey on lower cost wines ie Kim Crawford Sauv Blanc was $60 vs the $15 range in stores. On the other hand, the more expensive the wine on their wine list, the better the price (2x's markup). They have good wine glasses for those that care!
I think Morgans could sell more wine if they priced it competitively. That aside, I can't wait to return.
re: dhammer53
where are they located????
re: KarenNYC
22 Elm Place Rye, Ny 10580
the whole menu is up!
re: fishhound
Wow, prices that high and I'd have to pay to get my potatoes mashed?
re: abk193
I agree Morgans is trying to change there look and food demenor . was dissapointed as well . Ordered a bottle of wine and they were out of stock . Food came out cold and hostess was on her cell phone texting as we tryed to get someones attention .Very loud .Portions are small and menu is not impressive at all .
re: abk193
I guess it's a good thing that you agree with yourself
re: Marge
Forget old Morgans. It is no longer there. One of the best restaurants in Westchester for fine fish dining has been turned into a hangout where you can grab a bite to eat. The menu is chock full of cheaper entries although there is still some fine fish to be had. It's just that it is prepared in a plainer manner. These items are not on the menu but up on a not too obvious blackboard. I didn't find any reference to the blackboard on the menu and I wouldn't have known about it but for my wife reading it in the paper. The waiter said nothing about the blackboard when he recited specials. Some of the old finer entrees are gone. The portions of the fine fish that we received were smaller, though at less cost for some. However, I would say that the cost for the diner based on a unit value has probably risen. The portions seem smaller but the price reduction may not match the smaller size. The markup on the wines also seems to have risen. Our dining neighbors at an adjoining table were quite disappointed in the overall changes. Granted, it is a new place with a new approach and judging by the crowds it may be a long term success. For me, I will give it another try or two but unless they gear back a bit to the old excellence that may be it for Morgans.
re: Sonnyno
Agree that the "new" Morgans is not an improvement. Prices per dish are lower, but the food is no longer interesting. In fact, it no longer seems like much of a fish house. Portions are smaller, but they are still large enough. The problem is that the appealing items on the menu are gone. The markup on the wines has also risen significantly, I guess to compensate for the lower meal prices. Everyone around us was complaining about the new menu.
Service was awful and food was worse. Used to be great, going rapidly downhill. Not worth even one star at this point.
I gor a nicoise salad to go from there about a year ago. Not bad, and the bread and side of fresh tomato sauce was a nice touch. They were very crowded too and the decor was nice and new looking.
This is not the old Morgan's! Have eaten here twice in the past month, once on a Saturday night and last (Sunday) evening. The entrees are good, but stay away from the sandwiches. The fish taco was a dry piece of grilled fish in a wrap with shredded lettuce and mayo. The indifferent approach to service that is so common at the Rye Grill (same owner) has made its way over here. Last night we weren't offered bread, and were never asked if we wanted a second drink. The busboys grab your plate while you are still eating, while the wait staff stays busy texting.
re: Stratplans
Why did you go twice?
re: mary30
We had entrees the first time and it was good. It was a Saturday evening and they must have had the first team working. The second experience was not good.
re: Stratplans
Well, I'll take your advice. I haven't tried Rye Grill either. Sounds like I should skip that too.
Rye Grill and Bar
1 Station Plaza, Rye, NY 10580
Liked it on two prior occasions. Took my family last night during "Restaurant Week". Served wilted, soggy & then frozen celery stick with Bloody Mary. Fish chowder appetizer arrived in small bowl, only half full. When I told this to manager, she said that it was common practice to serve "slightly smaller portions" when ordering from the "Restaurant Week Menu". This is patently Not True, but would defeat the whole purpose and spirit of Restaurant Week.
Main course arrived lukewarm. I won't be going back again. Entirely sub-par.

re: tabascowhiskey
This place should no longer be considered a food hot spot. The clientele was entirely made up of privileged 'real house wives'. we were seated at 9:15 for a 8:30 reservation. wait staff was rude and slow. food was absolutely horrible. prices were outrageous!

110th to 116th B'Way eats!
Our mom is in town staying on 116th at Columbia and we need a place close by that's homey, nice, easy, great, tasty, relaxed, local and the food isn't cooked by goofballs. Thanks!
Unfortunately that's a very difficult order in that neighborhood. Morningside Hgts is a bit of a culinary wasteland. There were several long threads about it a few months ago, so try doing a search under "Morningside" and you might find a few suggestions.
The only restaurants i can recommend even slightly are a few blocks south of there: Indus Valley and Turkuaz.
High hopes for Community Food and Juice, Broadway and 112th, which was to open today. Otherwise, I'd probably head to Pisticci, 125 La Salle just west of Broadway, a charming moderately-priced Italian restaurant.
Your mom might like Kitchenette, a walk through the Columbia campus to Amsterdam Ave. and up a couple of blocks, and P&W's Sandwich Shop, across the avenue from St. John the Divine. If the weather is halfway decent, she might also find outdoor seating at the Silver Moon Bakery.

re: DaveCook
i second pisticci and silver moon. those may be your best bet. the mill is always an interesting experience. i also like symposium (greek and very, very homey) on w113 bet broadway and amsterdam. stay away from deluxe, le monde, ollies, cafe swish (even though their food is good but don't get me started). carne and henry's are okay. le meridien is okay. uggghh!! it is rough up there. i always recommend noche mexicana on w102 and amsterdam for authentic, reliable and cheap mexican. it's nothing fancy but it 's very clean and the food is comparable to what i ate in mexico. please let us know what winds up working for you.
re: nativeNYer
I second The Mill-tasty Korean in nicely run place by nice people
re: nativeNYer
heartily second pisticci and silver moon.
the mill is pretty good too (i like the sizzling bowl). she could always try the hungarian pastry shop (not what it used to be but still good and definitely a little columbia scene). henry's and indus valley are okay, as is mama mexico. noche mexicana is good (we get take out) but it's a little scary to eat there, i think. there's also v&t's for standard red sauce and pizza.
re: nativeNYer
Ollie's isn't all bad - the trick is to order only the dumplings.
I agree that Symposium is a good choice for super-homey food and atmosphere.
The Mill is OK, not fabulous, but at least they have stone pot bibimbop.
Has anyone tried the Havana Café (or something like that) that replaced the West End?
If you're willing to walk a little, go to Turkuaz or Cafe Con Leche. Maybe even Crepes on Columbus, depending on the meal.
i think the block between 122 and 123 on amsterdam has some great restaurants. as dave mentioned, kitchenette is good. sezze medi has good pizza and max soha has solid italian dishes. all these restaurants are cheap to moderately priced.
re: jbwalker
Not a big fan of spoonbread - and not just because my roommate got her purse stolen there. The yams are too sweet, for one thing.
Thai Market on Amsterdam/104? is a great place to eat, attractive, well-priced and tasty. For a quick bite, you can grab a spicy chicken roti at the Roti Rol Bombay Frankie 994 Amsterdam (they deliver) for $6. Heavy but delicious. If you want a good old-fashioned breakfast wander over to Antoinette's on Frederick Douglass and 112. It's just opened so be patient but it has a sweet french-southern feel. Lamb sausages are tasty, omelette was decent, french toast decadent, but don't drink the coffee. That needs a lot of work unless they've fixed it. Pisticci is a good neighborhood restaurant. My in laws always ask to go when they visit us. Indus valley is pretty good if she likes Indian and Turquaz across from it is okay but not if you have any allergies. The dust in the swags is tough to take. PicNic used to be good but I haven't been there in ages. And then there is Henry's which is on Broadway/105, a standard neighborhood place that, if your mom isn't a foodie or big city person, she will probably find comfortable.
re: lmac
Thai Market is on 108th and Broadway and it is very good, although so noisy at night that we only eat in during lunch (good special for $7) and call in for dinner. Picnic is still good, and Henry's, which I hadn't eaten at in years because it was so mediocre (and I live on the block!), I recently tried again and had a decent meal - trick is to order very simple preparation. Re: post below, I hate Cafe du Soleil, food is tasteless, service bad and tables so close together you might as well be sitting in your neighbor's lap.
Cafe du Soleil on Bdwy & 104th. Service can run hot and cold though.
Charm Thai on Amsterdam bet. 95th and 96th. If you like genuinely hot and spicy food, this is the place to go.
Thanks again everyone, due to schedule, palate and location it's either going to be Pisticci, Symposium or Lime Tree. I've never been to Pisticci so we might do that as an exploration. We want a sit down joint with a bit of atmosphere where we can linger and spread out. That may mean Symposium, not the best greek food in town but by no means the worst.
And no, in response to a posting, my mother isn't a 'foodie' and neither am I. Does anyone else bristle at the moniker, 'foodie'? Even 'spell check' doesn't like it...

Five Star Painting's expert wall refurbishers de-stress home decoration with complete setup and teardown. Punctual professionals revamp the home's rugged exterior, scraping away loose layers and re-staining wood siding if necessary. Home husks sport lavish coats of 100%-latex paints with Emulsa-Bond, which helps paints adhere to surfaces and protects against UV rays and attacks by sentient sunlamps. Staining services stylize and weatherize decks and wooden fencing. Grime exterminators expunge mildew, algae, dirt, and salt deposits through a pressure-washing solution of 10:1 bleach to detergent. The all-around handypersons also wash windows and hang holiday lights or clean Santa impersonators out of chimneys during the holidays. Prior to painting interiors, Five Star's painters move or drape drop cloths over all area rugs, furniture, and indoor anthills and ensure a smooth finish by spackling tiny holes and cracks.
The experts from Premier Cleaning and Restoration act as though homes are diamonds, each waiting to be polished and admired. Yet they understand that day-to-day life can leave floors soiled and that accidents can happen at any moment. So they constantly work to remove filth from tile and grout, kill mold in basements, rid air ducts of dust, and tackle the water damage left in the wake of floods and broken pipes. Their specialty, though, resides in returning carpets to pristine glory. Drawing on a thorough knowledge of the differences between oily, acidic, and particulate soils, they tackle floor fibers with a hot-water extraction or dry-steam cleaning.
The home protectors apply the same care and attention to detail—as well as thermal-imaging and industrial-strength equipment—as they dry and dehumidify rooms affected by water damage. After the flooded rooms drain, the experts retrieve any salvageable belongings, such as a client's collection of miniature submarines, and start reconstructing the property.
Though interior and exterior painting is Nick Gerhard's specialty, his business is multi-dimensional. He and his highly trained crews can install or repair drywall, stain a fence or deck, or power wash the last sip from a grape soda can.
Signature service: Commercial cleaning and power washing
Established: 2014

Staff Size: 2?10 people
Average Duration of Services: 1?2 hours
Pro Tip: Having your home power washed can help retain or increase the value of your home.
Metro Painting's insured-and-certified staff tackle projects both large and small. From single bedrooms to office buildings and light-industrial projects, they apply even coats of paint that transform every surface they touch. The painters' steady brushes rekindle cabinets, railings, and piping with the same deft precision they exhibit during larger jobs.
We are a family owned and operated business since 1969. We do residential and commercial window cleaning and power washing in Dayton, Columbus and Cincinnati, OH as well as Indianapolis, IN and Louisville and Lexington, KY.

New world success looks much like old world success
In this new world where change is the only constant, we have the perfect storm:

- Advertising is changing with the growth of new digital, social, and mobile touchpoints, with the resulting decay in some traditional media.
- Consumerism has changed with shoppers being more connected, knowledgeable, empowered, and demanding ("right now, right here"). It is the era of the "prosumer".

Daddy, What's a TV? Advertising in the Digital Age
I am old enough to remember the pre-cable (and even pre-remote!) age. When cable TV started gaining in popularity and there was talk of TV content moving to a subscription model, some wondered what would happen with TV advertising. Well, … Read More…
The State of Marketing in British Columbia
What keeps B.C.'s marketers up at night? What new and innovative ideas are they keen to explore? Which brands inspire them the most? We wanted to know so in conjunction with the British Columbia Association of Integrated Marketers, we turned to marketing, communications and advertising professionals across the province to get a clearer picture.
I recently had the pleasure of presenting our findings of a detailed survey conducted on marketing efforts in B.C. at the BCAIM 2012 State of Marketing event. In case you didn't make it, I've highlighted below some key trends to watch out for.
Understanding Programmatic Digital Ad Buying
Digital advertising used to be purchased and sold 100% manually. Those with ads to sell, such as Yahoo! and MSN, would pitch their content and associated ad inventory and targeting solutions to advertisers and agencies. It worked in the other direction as well. Agencies and advertisers would put our RFPs requesting access to certain audiences in certain contexts.
As ad networks and the alphabet soup of associated and emerging platforms such as DSPs, SSPs and RTB systems developed, programmatic buying has become more commonplace.

Another membase milestone was reached today – beta 2 was released and is available for download! Several cool features have been added, including support for datasets whose size exceeds the size of aggregate cluster main memory (i.e. supporting disk > RAM); very sexy, and useful, real-time and historical stat displays; and support for deploying moxi, the membase proxy, on a client-side machine. Looking back over the last three weeks, community reaction to membase has exceeded our collective expectations. We knew we were addressing an unmet need, but it is always a good feeling to hear it confirmed. We've had hundreds of downloads of membase beta 1 over the last three weeks and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive: - "Membase appears to be the reliable, sharding and persistent memcached-alike we've all
been waiting for…" - "Membase is fast! like memcached fast. very low latency under load and good throughput…" - "Oh this is so hot, so very, very, hot…" But while it is nice to hear the good stuff, I tend to prefer hearing about the things people don't like or the things users having trouble with.
Read more »
Greetings again! This will be a quick one...just wanted to let you know that Membase is coming along swimmingly and we've been getting some great feedback on the beta from users around the world.
The plan is to release a Beta 2 drop in the next few days which will add support for having your disk storage be greater than your available RAM. It will also introduce a standalone, client-side proxy (better for performance).
Lots of great enhancements have gone into membase and memcached recently, and I'm especially excited with the new vbucket capability -- see: http://dustin.github.com/2010/06/29/memcached-vbuckets.html. Say hello to the ability to explicitly migrate and replicate keys/values between servers, without downtime, while still keeping to memcached's uber performance.
And, moxi (the memcached/membase proxy) is keeping pace with the new vbucket improvements. You can find the latest moxi open-source development work happening on the 'vbucket' branch here: http://github.com/northscale/moxi/tree/vbucket.
It has been just over couple weeks since the launch of membase.org, along with NorthScale's partners at Zynga and NHN. In that time, we've been steadily increasing the postings on the wiki and responding to questions on the mailing list, the XMPP Chat and the IRC channel. When questions come up, they tend to be about about how membase compares to other Open Source projects, what kind of client one would use or what the pieces are when deployed.
Greetings all! As the Membase beta program manager, I want to let everyone know that we've put out an update to the Membase beta. The most notable addition is official support for Ubuntu, version 9.04 and higher. There are also a number of bug fixes, and release notes are available. Download the refresh here. On a related note, we had the first of our weekly beta webinar calls last week. These will be every Thursday until the end of the beta, and all are welcome to join. I'll be performing demos, talking about bugs and "gotchas" and answering any and all questions. You will automatically be invited to join the call when you download the beta.
For years, people have used memcached to scale large sites. Originally, there was a simple modulo selection hash algorithm that was used. It still is used quite a bit actually and it's quite easy to understand (although, it's shown regularly that some people don't truly understand it when applied to their full system). The algorithm is basically this:
Today is an exciting day for us at NorthScale. Along with our partners Zynga and NHN, we announced the formation of the membase open source project. Membase is a simple, fast, elastic "NoSQL" (absolutely hate that term, and we'll happily support anyone who can rally the world around a better moniker) database management system. Membase is currently serving data for some of the busiest web applications on the planet. The project is hosted at membase.org where source code, documentation and community information is now available.
We just got word from GigaOM that they've chosen NorthScale as one of 11 companies to present at this year's LaunchPad (during the Structure 2010 conference in San Francisco). We are excited to take the stage on June 23 to unveil the next wave of our elastic data technology and noSQL strategy. 30 days and counting…
It's great to be posting my first blog as NorthScale's new chief executive. This is a unique company with a unique opportunity to drive the incredible transformation taking place in the data management space. I'm thrilled to be a part of it. So, what attracted me to NorthScale? And for that matter, why did our investors just pour $10 million into our company coffers? In a word: simplicity. The simplicity of NorthScale's technology, the simplicity of our market strategy, and our commitment to make it as simple as possible for customers to get from where they are today to where this new wave of technology transformation leads. Drilling down a bit, there are a number of things about NorthScale that get me excited:
These days, more and more apps are running in the cloud, and they're starting to take memcached with them. For example, as we announced earlier this week, nearly 300 applications are using NorthScale's memcached as a service on Heroku's Ruby-based PaaS cloud platform.
In the past, most environments using memcached have run it on a single, controlled LAN: usually the frontend web servers sitting on the DMZ, without even the normal firewall or router sitting between the DMZ and the database. In this environment, one can reasonably expect that server failures are far more likely than even a single dropped packet, and waiting for a retransmit is likely to take longer than a hit to the database, so it makes sense to set extremely aggressive timeouts, on the order of 100-250ms or less, for memcached operations.
In contrast, cloud networking environments tend to be far less controlled, since they're shared with other customers, and even the location of a given service is not necessarily under the control of the user.

Hormonally challenged teens refrain from abstinence
Teenagers will not refrain from having sex, even if you spend a billion dollars trying to persuade them to keep their trousers zipped and chastity belts locked. This is the conclusion from a six year study by Mathematica Policy Research into the sexual behaviour of more than 2,000 teenagers across four states, and a variety of …
On a related matter
So, the effectiveness of purely contraception-based sex education a la the UK has been established, right? We have really low rates of teenage pregnancy? Phew, that was me worried for a while!
Before indulging in the usual Bush-bashing, I suggest you do a little research. A cursory Google brings up this:-
Average intercourse seems to be just over 17 in the US, but in this study is reported to be just under 15. I'd call their sample very unrepresentative :-(
So, how many had sex?
How does this article get away with dismissing abstinence education, and then not mentioning a single figure about the rate of teenage sex before and after the programs were initiated? Sure, it's titillating to think about 14-year-olds dispensing with rubbers, but this ends up being a real fluff piece, Lucy.
So 23 percent use condoms, 17 percent sometimes do and 4 percent never do.
44 percent there by my maths.
I always thought statisics were a load of bollox.
Over one half of studied teenagers ceased existing?
23% always used condoms
17% sometimes used them
4% never did
This is 44% - what happened to the other 56%? Is it just me, or is there another possible answer to this that I'm missing?
Something doesn't seem to add up
The statistics don't seem to add up. Either people always, sometimes, or never use condoms. Therefore, the sum of the percentages should add up to 100, right?
What am I missing?
Also missing is other statistical indicators around the 14.9- like what's the standard deviation?
A link to the original report would be nice too.
I'm not at all surprised that abstinence education doesn't work. What surprises me is that education which teaches the importance of condoms and such doesn't work. Surely a condom is far less of an imposition on raging teen hormones than abstinence.
And 14.9 years old? Yeeks.
The other 56%
Obviously, the other 56% didn't know what condoms were because they were only taught about abstinence as a form of birth control. HA!
It Depends on What the Meaning of Sex Is....
How did this study define sex? Only genital intercourse? Were any other sex-like activities counted?
For those in the memory impaired seats, the world was so graciously treated to that whole "oral-sex-isn't-really-sex" line courtesy WJ Clinton a few years back and it begs the question whether the study in question defined sex and, if so, how?
In the final analysis, however, does it come as a surprise to anyone that teens are still having sex despite the efforts to stop them? It seems as though anyone who's viewed the vids/movies/printed word that kids consume would easily understand that the subtext of sex is almost universally present and is likely to undo virtually any efforts to put that nasty ol' sexual genie back in the bottle.
missing info
Just a guess, which the 44% conundrum suggests; Perhaps the other 56% haven't had sex in the last year - which is sort of stated, albeit not very elegantly.
Possibly the average age quoted is of those who have sex during the study. Add back the 'non joiners' and you probably get to around the figures from the Kinsey institute quoted by Rupert Fiennes.
On the other hand I'm all in favour of a bit of Bush bashing, so perhaps it's him popping around to all the teenagers and bringing the average down. Or would that have been Clinton?
Whilst my natural instinct is that social & religious programming (abstinence pledging) is not a good thing, whereas I think enabling choice (including a genuine choice to say no, or say yes, but safely) probably is, it would be nice to see some genuine statistics from a robust study, and the underlying study this piece is about might well be that, but this article gives no indication. I think the numbers are probably fine, if insufficiently explained, Overall a little sloppily written.
Yeah, so google it
Whiners annoy me.
The pdf is here.
Your missing 56% is those who remained abstinent.
The statistical significance tests were performed, and the point is that the null hypothesis, that the two groups were drawn from the same distribution, could not be rejected. The associated p-values ranged from .32 (ReCapturing the Vision) to .90 (My Choice, My Future!) in total abstinence, and .28 to .79 (same) in abstinence in the last 12 months. The in-betweener programs studied were FUPTP and Teens in Control.
There were some differences: the overall identification of STDs in the program group was statistically significantly higher in the program group than in the control group, with p < 0.01.
Finally, on age, the report says:
"For both the program and control group youth, the reported mean age at first intercourse was identical, 14.9 years. This age is seemingly young, but recall that the outcome is defined only for youth who reported having had sex and the average age of the evaluation sample was less than 17." (page 18).
"teens refrain from abstinence..."
Golly gee. Who'da thought.
Isnt it obvious ?
The remaining 66% were so scared sh*tless by the graphical PowerPoint presentations of STD's that they pursued 'solo sex' :)
Remaining abstinent....?
But were the missing 56% "remaining abstinent" because they didn't want any or because they're the unpopular/ unattractive/ geeky with no social skills bunch at school who just don't *get* any?
ad nausium
Thanx 4 the link...
Where do I start on this shower of tripe?
The "wealthy palefaces" and the "african american control" groups are both rural... the Miami and Milwalki groups are urban (immediately there is a bias). There are different delivery programmes for each and they are given to different age groups in different venues at different times and cover different curriculums. It is no surprise the figures don't add up. So then they give lots of random sex knowledge to a bunch of hormonally rampant teenagers and then expect them all to say, "yeh, cool, I will now wait for 3-6 years before I try any of that fun stuff out".
The Control group probably benefitted the most, with two years of "pull-out" class sessions. (PMSL)
"Of those who said they'd had sex in the last year, 23 per cent in both groups said they always used a condom, 17 per cent only sometimes using a condom, and four per cent never did."... and 56% is either a testament to lesbian relationships (not requiring the use of birth control) or an indication of how much variance there is in the data. What a waste of $87.5 million annually.
Whiners annoy you?
Smartarses annoy me!
According to the article:
"Of those who said they'd had sex in the last year, 23 per cent ....."
Which makes it pretty clear that 44% are not accounted for. My assumption was that they were too busy bonking to answer silly questions. I have a life and could not be bothered to google for the original story :)
To Slaine:
The control groups are AT EACH SCHOOL, not one program being a control group for another, which would indeed be silly. I suggest that you try reading at least the summary and not just glancing at the tables.
The point is that these programs do not make teenagers less likely to have sex than their peers.
Teach them to play D&D
Get early teens interested in SF/F and D&D and they won't get laid until they hit college ("There's a time and a place for everything kids and it's called college." –Chef).

Restore cannot validate zip file, 0x8100001A
I am trying to restore several folders from a backup on an external hard drive. The backup file appears to be empty (0 bytes), but I am certain it is not. When I try to restore some of the folders I get the following error:
> Restore encountered a problem while validating the zip file:

The following information might help you resolve the problem:
The backup file could not be found. Make sure the drive that the backup is saved on is attached or try to restore from a different backup. (0x8100001A)
Strangely, I am not even interested in restoring from the backup in the error message, only from my most recent one (2012-05-04).
I have not moved the location of the backup, so the additional/hidden files should still be on the external drive as far as I know.
Thanks for any assistance!

I can manually go into the backup and extract individual files from hundreds of "Backup files xxx.zip" archives. It's only when I try to restore or search for files within the backup and restore tool that everything looks empty... almost as if some index file is missing/corrupt?
In a pinch I probably could extract everything and manually delete the oldest versions of everything, but we're talking over 100gb of backups over many months, and I'm interested in restoring about 600 files... If anyone knows how to rebuild the index that would save SO much effort!!!

Pakistan singing legend Mehdi Hassan dies
Tributes have been paid to Pakistani singing legend Mehdi Hassan who has died of multiple organ failure aged 84.
The singer, hugely popular in India as well, was admitted to the Agha Khan Hospital in the southern port city of Karachi a few days ago.
TV channels broadcast live from the hospital and hundreds of fans gathered there on learning of his death.
Hassan's career spanned 50 years. He came to be known as "king of ghazals", traditional laments for lost love.
Ghazal, a genre of music specific to South Asia and parts of the Middle East, has been around for more than 400 years.
Hassan - whose funeral will be on Friday - also achieved huge commercial success, providing music for many South Asian films.
Legendary Indian singer Lata Mangeshkar once likened his songs to the "voice of god".
On learning of his death, Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani called Hassan "an icon who mesmerised music lovers" in Pakistan and the sub-continent for decades, AFP news agency reports.'End of an era'
Hassan was born into a family of traditional musicians in 1927 at Luna village in the Indian state of Rajasthan.
At the scene
Mehdi Hassan's small and shabby looking house in the Karachi neighbourhood of Ancholi is crowded with women inside and men outside.
Most mourners are from the same area and some know him and his family personally. Everyone recognises him as a great ghazal singer.
Female members of the family are receiving condolences inside the house, where men are not allowed.
One of Mr Hassan's nine sons, Arif Mehdi, told me that family members are flying in from the US to pay their final homage to the singing legend.
Overall the house reflects the financial modesty of those who live here.
Paint is peeling off the walls, it has broken door steps and its cracked window panes all suggest the house badly needs renovation.
Neighbours sheltering in a tent told me that the family has always had serious financial problems.
However they say that since Mehdi Hassan fell ill, the family has received financial help from the government and philanthropists.
His family migrated to Pakistan in 1947 at the time of partition.
He started out as a bicycle and auto mechanic before entering the music industry. His big break came several years later, in 1957, when he got his first opportunity on Radio Pakistan as a classical "thumri" singer.
During the next three decades, he sang hundreds of songs for the Pakistani movies, scoring dozens of hits that were popular in Pakistan and across South Asia.
Subsequently, music circles in Pakistan were to discover his talent for ghazal singing.
Hassan was interviewed in 1989 by the BBC Hindi service. He told them about the history of ghazal singing in his family.
"We belong to the traditional Kalamt family and mine is the 16th generation which is into ghazal," he said.
"My ancestors use to regale the Royals of Jaipur, Rajasthan in India. We still have remains of our home around the Amber Fort. And my earlier generations were gifted by the princely state of Jaipur to another royal household called Jhunjhunu in the faraway desert.
"But be it then or now, India or Pakistan, our music is the same, full of devotion."
Hassan became a Pakistani cultural ambassador who visited India.
He cut back on his performances in the late 1980s due to illness, which included a serious lung condition. The severity of his illness forced him to give up all singing by the late-1990s.
In 2010, however, he recorded a duet with Lata Mangeshkar, a long-time admirer, for an album called Sarhadein (Borders), which was released in 2011.
Mehdi Hassan recorded his part of the song in Karachi, while Lata Mangeshkar's part was recorded in Mumbai.
The Press Trust of India said an era of ghazal singing had come to an end with his death.
"The demise of the India-born Pakistani ghazal maestro was a huge loss to the world of music and left a void that can never be filled," it reported.
The BBC's Arman Sabir in Karachi says that there is a heavy media presence outside the dead singer's home, with television channels streaming live commentary.
Our correspondent says that police have been deployed in anticipation of a stream of high profile mourners coming to say their last farewells.

This mix is great on pasta and other dishes, has a nice peppery, garlicky flavor and the addition of sesame seeds is an excellent idea. Good value on this large bag.
Good seasoning.

Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002, Version 2002, Service Pack 3, Celeron (R) CPU 2.20
Music playback is out of sync.
Hi, I recorded my songs in my digital recorder, then uploaded them from CD-R to my computer using Windows Media Player. Then from my computer I uploaded them onto songwriters online sites such as Myspace, Soundclick, Reverbnation and others. At first all songs sounded correct.
Recently, all songs sounded correct when played on the Windows Media Player in my computer. However, when I tried to listen to them on the online music sites Myspace, Soundclick, and Reverbnation the meter was broken up, music sped up, then slowed down. The drum parts are not in sync with the music....drums are ahead or behind the beat.
The weird part is that I can go to another computer (not my own) and there I can hear my music play correctly on the music sites mentioned above. Any thoughts as to what might be the problem in my computer, and suggestions as to what the cure might be?

Microsoft Surface Pro 3: The Real World Road Test
The Microsoft Surface Pro 3 takes a lengthy business trip, and both the author and the tablet-hybrid survive.
The Microsoft Surface Pro 3 takes a lengthy business trip, and both the author and the tablet-hybrid survive.
Everyone expects Microsoft to unveil and 8-inch tablet next week, but this is how it can build a iPad Mini-beating Surface Mini.
Revenue from the Surface was nearly cut in half in Microsoft's latest earnings report, but a coming Surface Mini might change that.
It looks like Microsoft could fulfill Panos Panay's promise to add an LTE option to its Surface 2 Tablets, a little detail that the vice president of Surface revealed last year during a wide-ranging Reddit AMA. Why was LTE not included on neither Surface nor Surface Pro? [–]SurfaceTeam[S]: Great question. We didn't talk about it today, but Surface 2 will be launching an awesome LTE SKU early next year! Nice catch on your part, no one else has asked this question......
Delta Air Lines announced Monday that it would purchase up to 11,000 Microsoft Surface 2 tablets to replace pilots' flight bags. Starting with Boeing 757 and Boeing 767 aircraft, pilots on 700 planes will leave behind their 35-pound flight kit in favor of the second generation of Microsoft's tablet product. The move to tablets will help the airline save on fuel costs, as well as cut carbon emissions by 26 million pounds, according to the airline.
A new report claims Microsoft has now sold almost 1.5 million Surface tablets, with Surface Pro sales jumping up to 400,000 in just one month.
The Microsoft Surface Pro, the new flagship Windows 8 device that launched on Saturday, is reportedly sold out in many retail locations across the country. Great success, right? Not so fast. Apparently, as reported by ZDnet, that fact might be misleading. In general, of course, selling out on the day of a product launch is good thing. But not if it only sold out because there weren't enough Surface Pros available.
The Surface was supposed to be Microsoft's real answer to the iPad -- a Windows-based tablet that would satisfy both casual users and digital workers. Now it looks like it's appealing to neither. UBS analyst Brent Thill estimates Microsoft has sold only 1 million Surface RT tablets, reported by Business Insider. He had previously estimated 2 million. To put those figures in perspective, Apple is estimated to sell in the neighborhood of 20 million iPads for the same period.
Microsoft's Surface tablet paints the inside of this subway car in bright pink. Avert your eyes.
Microsoft's new Surface tablet will be coming to more retailers as soon as mid-December.
Microsoft just lost its most interesting leader. With the sudden and unexpected departure of Windows lead Steven Sinofsky, Microsoft essentially is without its own "Steve Jobs."
