David's care for the ark. (1-10) The promises of God. (11-18)
Verses 1-10 David bound himself to find a place for the Lord, for the ark, the token of God's presence. When work is to be done for the Lord, it is good to tie ourselves to a time. It is good in the morning to fix upon work for the day, with submission to Providence, for we know not what a day may bring forth. And we should first, and without delay, seek to have our own hearts made a habitation of God through the Spirit. He prays that God would take up his dwelling in the habitation he had built; that he would give grace to the ministers of the sanctuary to do their duty. David pleads that he was the anointed of the Lord, and this he pleads as a type of Christ, the great Anointed. We have no merit of our own to plead; but, for His sake, in whom there is a fulness of merit, let us find favour. And every true believer in Christ, is an anointed one, and has received from the Holy One the oil of true grace. The request is, that God would not turn away, but hear and answer their petitions for his Son's sake.
Verses 11-18 The Lord never turns from us when we plead the covenant with his anointed Prophet, Priest, and King. How vast is the love of God to man, that he should speak thus concerning his church! It is his desire to dwell with us; yet how little do we desire to dwell with him! He abode in Zion till the sins of Israel caused him to give them up to the spoilers. Forsake us not, O God, and deliver us not in like manner, sinful though we are. God's people have a special blessing on common enjoyments, and that blessing puts peculiar sweetness into them. Zion's poor have reason to be content with a little of this world, because they have better things prepared for them. God will abundantly bless the nourishment of the new man, and satisfy the poor in spirit with the bread of life. He gives more than we ask, and when he gives salvation, he will give abundant joy. God would bring to nothing every design formed to destroy the house of David, until King Messiah should arise out of it, to sit upon the throne of his Father. In him all the promises centre. His enemies, who will not have him to reign over them, shall at the last day be clothed with shame and confusion for ever.
Psalms 132:1-18 . The writer, perhaps Solomon (compare Psalms 132:8 Psalms 132:9 ), after relating David's pious zeal for God's service, pleads for the fulfilment of the promise ( 2 Samuel 7:16 ), which, providing for a perpetuation of David's kingdom, involved that of God's right worship and the establishment of the greater and spiritual kingdom of David's greater Son. Of Him and His kingdom both the temple and its worship, and the kings and kingdom of Judah, were types. The congruity of such a topic with the tenor of this series of Psalms is obvious.
1-5. This vow is not elsewhere recorded. It expresses, in strong language, David's intense desire to see the establishment of God's worship as well as of His kingdom.
remember David--literally, "remember for David," that is, all his troubles and anxieties on the matter.
5. habitation--literally, "dwellings," generally used to denote the sanctuary.
6. These may be the "words of David" and his pious friends, who,
at Ephratah--or Beth-lehem ( Genesis 48:7 ), where he once lived, may have heard of the ark, which he found for the first time
in the fields of the wood--or, Jair, or Kirjath-jearim ("City of woods") ( 1 Samuel 7:1 , 2 Samuel 6:3 2 Samuel 6:4 ), whence it was brought to Zion.
7. The purpose of engaging in God's worship is avowed.
8, 9. The solemn entry of the ark, symbolical of God's presence and power, with the attending priests, into the sanctuary, is proclaimed in the words used by Solomon ( 2 Chronicles 6:41 ).
10-12. For thy servant David's sake--that is, On account of the promise made to him.
turn . . . anointed--Repulse not him who, as David's descendant, pleads the promise to perpetuate his royal line. After reciting the promise, substantially from 2 Samuel 7:12-16 (compare Acts 2:30 , &c.), an additional plea,
13. is made on the ground of God's choice of Zion (here used for Jerusalem) as His dwelling, inasmuch as the prosperity of the kingdom was connected with that of the Church ( Psalms 122:8 Psalms 122:9 ).
14-18. That choice is expressed in God's words, "I will sit" or "dwell," or sit enthroned The joy of the people springs from the blessings of His grace, conferred through the medium of the priesthood.
17. make the horn . . . to bud--enlarge his power.
a lamp--the figure of prosperity ( Psalms 18:10 Psalms 18:28 , 89:17 ). With the confounding of his enemies is united his prosperity and the unceasing splendor of his crown.

50 Dream Swimsuits Worth The Splurge
In a dream world, money for a fancy new bathing suit or money for summer travel wouldn't be an either/or thing, where I'm weighing a very tempting Vix bikini against that fact that I'll probably still want to have dollar bills in my account once I get to the beach. Instead, it'd be a both thing, so I'd book a week at a Lake Como hotel creepily near George Clooney's house and buy a bunch of ridiculous (in a good way) swimsuits, like these ones below.
From delicate crochet bikinis to jeweled one-pieces, each one is either over-the-top enough to feel like a full-on outfit or refined enough to merit dry cleaning. Basically, they're the perfect things to wear on George's yacht, if I'm ever invited. And if not (or... when not?), they'll still add a shot of glamour to make me feel fancy wherever I am this summer, even if it's just a neon plastic lawn chair on a 4-by-6 concrete "lawn." They're just that fabulous, in the most diva, America's Next Top Model sense of the word.

Honda CR-V at the Beach
I'm a novice at off-roading and i'm considering a CR-V 4x4. Since the Honda doesn't have a 'locking' feature, will it be adequate in the sand at the beach?

No vehicles allowed although you can hike up and ski or snowboard down. I did see a Lincoln Continental get stuck in some sand at a roadside pullout there one time.
St. Anthony looks like a bigger area than Bruneau; need to check that out. It's been years since I've been to Great Sand Dunes NP down in Colorado - it's a great spot too.Moderator

dae Posts: 143This is a CR-V forum. Ain't no 4W-Lo.
The answer is - it depends. One issue is that most manufacturer nowdays are playing protect us from ourself game and would not allow to engage lockers in 4-Hi, and that may be a must.
Brake based limited slip differentials are not a good answer. You may want to lock your rear - and limit slip in center. -
blueiedgod Posts: 2,798
dae Posts: 143The first gear in the manually shifted CR-V tops out at about 10-15 mph, which is low enough to be a low gear.
Low gear is a feature of the transfer case, not of the transmission. This is an important distinction, as it allows larger torque to the driveshaft that the transmission is rated for. It will lower all gears, typically by a factor of 2 to 4. 1st gear on CR-V is nowhere near the needs for off-roading, nor is the low end torque available. You will fry the clutch - without the real 4Lo in transfer case. Also - even as the manual transmission may have lower crawl ratio, automatic is effectively adding torque converter ratio to it, so it crawls even better. Until you fry the transmission without the enhanced cooling that is. -
varmint Posts: 6,326Low gearing is made possible by a 2 speed transfer case, but all it does is provide additional mechanical advantage to the engine. It does not allow more torque to be applied to the driveshaft.
What is does is allow the engine to rev higher without turning the wheels faster. In high gears at 5mph, you might be turning the engine at something like 1,500 rpms. That's not an especially powerful spot in an ordinary engine's power curve. However, while in low gear at 5mph, the engine would turn at a higher rate (let's say 2,250 rpms). The higher rpm is likely to closer to the engine's peak output. Thus more torque at low speeds.
The 5MT CR-V does have a remarkable low first gear (and corresponding final drive). This is especially true of the 1st gen CR-V, but Gen 2 is also quite low. We compared the first Gen CR-V with the gearing a 2 speed tranny in a grand Vitara years ago and found that the CR-V's first gear was closer to L1 than it was to the Suzuki's H1.
The thing that makes automatics more desirable is control, not torque. The slushbox transfers power via a liquid medium and is not efficient. Torque is lost (wasted) during that transfer of power. However, because the transfer of power is done via a fluid connection, it is easier to modulate via the throttle. Aside from the fact that it is easier to work one pedal than two, you also don't have to worry (as much) about stalling the vehicle or applying too much power an accidentally lurching forward. With an auto, you trade a little power for a good deal more control. -
dae Posts: 143It does not allow more torque to be applied to the driveshaft.
Or yes, it does. That is the definition of "mechanical advantage". Brush up your high school physics.
Some pictures and write up here.
The rest of your post is just as clueless, sorry. Have even done any offroading?
P.S. Any automatic will have about half of a crawl ratio in most cars - for the reason of torque multiplication.
And, yes, you may need both feet with automatic as well: example. Also explain why automatics do not always give you more control, as you assert. Read up - not as good as some actual experience, but helps nevertheless. -

Have taken my CRV out a few times for play and it did ok. Did get stuck once in very deep soft sand,(yes my air pressure was lowered to 19) plus had (4) adults.Asking alot out of a small engine. With low ground clearance and small hsp it is not made for real sand. I love it for regular driving and am very pleased with it so far.

Could be better
This was supposed to be a very nice top, the back is superior and gorgeous, the weakness is the front, the neckline is too high, could have been a lower neckline, otherwise would be a five-star top. The length is perfect.

So hot
Got this top and cannot wait to wear it. It is so adorable yet sexy when you pair it with high wasted skinny pants. I wish they made this top in other colors and patterns because I would literally buy them all!

Super Sexy
This top is extremely sexy and can be dressed up or down.

On trend
They say "black and white" is all the rage this season. But honesty when isn't black and white in? Regardless, this is a super cute top to add to your wardrobe. I wore this top with high wasted jeans and wedges and got tons of compliments. I plan to wear the top with high waisted white bell bottoms as well. I am 105 pounds and 5'3" tall. I ordered the XXS and the fit is perfect. Nicer than your typical t-shirt due to the fabric, and the "v" back is a nice surprise.

Back to the Island-Double Dip Delight!Western COMPLETE~Cruising with a baby w/PICS!
Ahoy, there! Welcome aboard! This is my third trip report, for our third cruise on DCL, the first 7-night cruise after dry-dock: an alternate Western of sorts, dubbed the Double Dip Delight. If you have read along with my adventures before, welcome back. If you are new, you can expect a play-by-play of all the action onboard we took part in (and sometimes some we didnt), lots and lots of pictures, and as much detail as I can possibly remember! I hope you find reading our memories as enjoyable as it was for us to make them.

License to Chill Bank of Bad Habits Back to the Island Back to the Island (Part 2) Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On Meet your Cast of Characters: My name is Jen. Im 34 and I have been a Disney fan for quite a long time. Other than that I am unremarkable. My husband Ron is also 34 and his interests include all the usual guy stuff. He loves to travel, which works real well with this cruising thing. My son Brendan is 8 (almost 9). He plays football and baseball and is the Hidden Mickey guru of the family. I have two daughters, Savannah, the oldest is 7 and Sarah is our baby, who just turned 4 months old. Savannah is a competitive dancer and cheerleader whose newest main interest is Hannah Montana. And Sarah well she likes to drool and chew things, but who doesnt? I cant have a trip report installment without at least one photo, so here is my favorite one of the kids taken this trip onboard the Magic: We booked this cruise pretty much as a result of post-trip restlessness after our first cruise, a 4-night on the Wonder in 2007. We did not rebook on board for some silly reason I have never managed to figure out. However, not even two weeks after stepping foot off of the boat, we were lazily browsing the DCL website and saw this special itinerary cruise which intrigued us. It was an alternate Western, with stops in Cozumel and Costa Maya, Mexico and two stops at Castaway Cay. The pricing for it was surprisingly less than the other Westerns so within about 2 hours, we had made our decision and booked the cruise. At that point we had previously only sailed in a Cat 11, which was fine for our needs at the time (as far as it being an inside room), but we did think we would prefer to have the split bath so we chose a Cat. 10. It was at that time 18 months from sailing. We took another cruise on the Wonder, a 3-night in the interim, which turned out to be our last cruise as a family of four. This time we had spoiled ourselves. We had gotten a fab Florida Residents rate on a Cat.5 for the 3-night, so now we felt we could not take the step backwards to an inside room for the next one. So onboard our second trip on the Wonder, we re-booked to get the 10% discount and $200 and also upgraded to a Cat.8. This -as well as most categories at that time- was already in guarantee status, so we could not pick a room, but all of the Cat.8 rooms are forward on 5, 6, & 7 so we had a pretty good idea of where we would end up. And hey, we could always hope for an upgrade! After finding out we were expecting Sarah, we had some real strategics to figure out. Our preference at that point would have been to just move to a Cat.4 room, but the prices on those were more than double what we had already paid, so that was out. A friend of ours also going on the cruise ended up booking Sarah in their room (though Sarah would stay with us in our room), but she ended up having to cancel so we found ourselves scrambling once again. Our travel agent managed to get us a Cat.11 room to go with our Cat. 8 (right across the hall from each other) for only $800 more than we had already paid, so we figured that would be the way to go. We were no longer in GTY status, we now had rooms, 6022 (Cat.8) and 6019 (the Cat.11). We had never stayed on Deck 6 before, plus 6019 was a sideways 11 so we were interested to check these rooms out. The doors for both rooms were directly opposing in the hallway so it would be easy to run between the rooms, to check on Brendan and Savannah, who would be in 6019 by themselves. We figured (correctly) that we would only be in the rooms to sleep, and whenever they would be in their room, we would be in ours so there would be no shenanigans over there unbeknownst to us! (We packed Sarahs baby monitor to listen in on them, just in case ) Are you following all this? There will be a short quiz at the end. (OK, Im kidding, but I promise this is pertinent information) The countdown begins This particular cruise, originally to be the first sailing of the Magic out of dry dock, was packed full of Castaway Club members and Disers. In fact 473 folks onboard were either Disers or their immediate family and friends thats 158 staterooms. Our meets thread Double Dip Delight was a blast and it was not uncommon to go through 20 or more pages in a day. Our great group initiated so many fun plans that made the time waiting for the cruise go by swift in anticipation. We would have a DIS meet, of course and also do fish extenders. Some of us would participate in a Secret Mickey exchange that is akin to Secret Santa, and we would also have cool lanyards with name tags to identify ourselves (thanks lanyard team!) Group photos, and a group Palo brunch, dinner, and tea are just a couple more examples of all the neat events we had planned out. And when I say plan, I aint joking around folks. This group is made up of some serious planners (me included). Most of us were repeat cruisers on DCL and knew the deal. We wanted to plan out every little detail, from the dinner rotations, to the shows, right on down to the drinks of the day. In fact I worked very hard to create a spreadsheet with all this information on it to have at hand to help out with the planning. I used prior Navigators to gather the information and called DCL to confirm that the rotations, etc. I had figured out were right. They confirmed that yes, indeed I was correct. They also told a few of my co-cruisers the same thing so we were all pretty secure in that the info we had was accurate. (Yes, this is all foreshadowing). Anyway, what do you think? A handy little tool, eh? (Don't bother copying all this stuff down. It's wrong) The first thing to change was the ports. (You knew changes were coming, now didnt ya?) Costa Maya was hit pretty hard by Hurricane Dean in 2007, and Disney decided, that although the port repair work was on schedule to be complete by the time we arrived in late Sept., that it would not be up to DCLs standards, so it was scrapped in favor of Grand Cayman. Although we were looking forward to Costa Maya, we had never been to GC before so it worked for us. However, to accommodate THAT change, they also changed the departure time on our first Castaway Cay day to 2:30 PM. None of us were very happy about that, and didnt really buy DCLs excuse that they needed the extra time to account for the longer sailing distance (I mean, how much further is CC from Key West, really?) This change would affect some of our other plans later on, but well get to that later. Then they decided that the Magic would get done with dry dock sooner than expected, so they snuck in a special 3-night sailing before our cruise. This, folks turned out to be a good thing. Trust me. Before we knew it 90 days out had arrived. I got on the computer at the stroke of midnight (okay actually 11:59) and snagged Palo dinner, Palo brunch (one of only three reservations left!) and our Flounders Reef allotment. I could have gotten the one Palo High Tea spot still there also, but we werent too interested in doing the tea. We did not take any excursions through DCL, since we consider ourselves cruise veterans now and felt comfortable we could arrange excursions on our own for cheaper. Our plans were at Castaway Cay, the first day to spend as a family beach day and the second day we would rent bikes and explore the island and maybe (just maybe) get a little time at Serenity Bay since Sarah would be in Flounders. In Grand Cayman we would do a Stingray City and snorkeling trip booked through Captain Marvins. And in Cozumel this is where we really stepped out on a limb- we would rent a car and explore the island ourselves (a little ambitious for us slightly green world travelers, I know). The last few months before the cruise flew (of course I had just had a baby), and before you know it we were in the home stretch. The last couple of weeks were frantic. I work graveyard, and thats hard enough in & of itself, but add in a newborn, cruise planning, packing, FE gift assembly, magnet designing & printing. Needless to say I was going out of my mind (what little I had left!) And then, the accident. Just eight days before the trip I was involved in a hit & run accident that totaled my car. Ironically I did the hitting, but I didnt do the running. Go on & figure *that one* out! Nobody was injured (well, at least I wasnt- who knows about the mystery vehicle or invisible brick wall as the police said I must have hit) so we decided to let the insurance company clean up the mess, because its time to cruise!!!! Next up: All Aboard! (If youre still with me, that is. It was a real long intro, wasnt it?)

A man stood on the edge of a cliff, prepared to jump and end his life. Discouraged by the thought of innocent people dying senselessly, world hunger, global wars, natural disasters and incurable diseases — he felt he could not take anymore.
Sad and disillusioned, the man bent his knees to jump, when suddenly a sunflower brushed up against his leg. It was barely noticeable, but he felt it. It was leaning towards the sun. He paused. He couldn't help but notice its gentle beauty in a world full of tragedy. He was touched by its struggle to seek nourishment from the sun and to keep living even though it was barely noticed.
At that moment, he noticed the ascending sun opening the morning sky to an array of breathtaking colors. He felt the wind on his face. He heard different birds singing. He took a deep breath as fresh air filled his lungs. He looked out over the precipice, as if for the first time, noticing the vast wonders of creation. Living in a moment of silent meditation, tears filled his eyes and rolled down his face. The man smiled. He backed away from the edge of the cliff, laughing, holding his face, with renewed hope. He ran back into the society he had given up on and became the voice of encouragement.
Have you ever felt so discouraged by life's anxieties that you wanted to give up? If so, you are not alone. Many people feel as if they are on the edge. It wouldn't take much to push them over. What makes the difference? When we take a step back and take a moment to appreciate what truly matters in life, people often feel encouraged to keep going.
For example, instead of taking on all the troubles of the world, why not apply Psalms 55:22, which says, "Give your burdens to the LORD, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall." — New Living Translation.
Psalms 56:11 tells us, "In God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me?" — English Standard Version. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, "Trust in the LORD with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know. Remember the LORD in everything you do, and he will show you the right way." — Good News Translation.
Perhaps God will show you the right way through His wonders of creation. By meditating on them we are reminded that the troubles of the world are not God's fault. Think about it. If we blamed God for all the wickedness in the world, whom do we credit for all the majestic mountains, array of colorful flowers and fruit-bearing trees as well as the starry heavens that light up the night sky?
As the Almighty told His chosen people through Moses at Deuteronomy 32:5, "They have acted ruinously on their own part; they are not his children, the defect is their own." — New World Translation.
When we recognize that humans bring most of their troubles upon themselves, and that God is here to help us, not hurt us, we can slowly put things back into perspective. Like that sunflower leaning toward the sun for nourishment, we too should lean toward our source of spiritual nourishment and health.
Psalms 43:3 ask God, "Send out your light and your truth; let them guide me. Let them lead me to your holy mountain to the place where you live." — New Living Translation.
When we seek God's light and truth by reading His Word, our eyes become open in a different way. We see that God has a purpose that involves rescuing humans who are on the precipice of self-destruction. It involves giving them hope and comfort so that we can help others.
As 2Corinthians 1:3-4 says, "God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us." — New Living Translation.
Are we the voice of comfort and encouragement? Part of that Divine comfort rests in the knowledge that God's Kingdom, with Jesus Christ as king, will eliminate the very problems that have pushed us to the edge of our existence. Gone will be wars, food shortages, natural disasters, fatal accidents, even sickness and death, according to Psalms 46:9, Psalms 72:12-16, Isaiah 11:6-9, and Revelation 21:4-5.
Why should we believe in these prophecies written thousands of years ago? It is for the same reason why we believe the sun will rise tomorrow and a thousand years from tomorrow. It is because the sun has done so without fail for as long as anyone can remember. We even base our clocks and calendars on the reliability of the movement of such celestial bodies.
Should we expect any less reliability from its Creator? Regarding His word, Jehovah says at Isaiah 55:11, "It will not come back to me without results, but it will accomplish whatever I want and achieve whatever I send it to do." — GOD'S WORD Translation.
Isn't it encouraging, to know that God cannot lie? All of God's promises will come true. So whenever you feel that life is overwhelming you — take a moment. Step back. Get back to nature. Get back to God. Look closer into spiritual things. Read God's Word daily and share its good news with others. Be the voice of encouragement.
Find your voice of reason and you will never be that person who goes over the edge.

Hosted Solr site search for Drupal is on the way
by Jay Batson
The search technology area is highly important to people with websites. As a result, I've spent serious time looking at it. Several things have come from this time spent:
- The important thing: We'll soon be adding "hosted site search" capabilities to the Acquia Network for our subscribers. More about this below.
- The unimportant thing: Search was modestly influential in the selection of our company name. ah-kwe-eh is the (native American) Navajo WW II code talker word for "Locate." I reasoned that this made sense because most websites are built to help site visitors locate what they're looking for - either information, people, products, or information about people or products, etc. (Oh, and it means we get listed early in alphabetical listings, which really clinched it....)
Why bother with offering hosted site search with Google around? Google solves one aspect of search: making it easy to find a site you want. But it isn't as good at helping visitors find information within a site. Companies like Endeca and Fast have built large, successful businesses supplying technology that provides auto-complete / auto-suggest, content spotlighting, faceted search, and relevance ranking. You can see this kind of stuff in action at places like cnet; when shopping for digital cameras, you can select things like price, manufacturer, and other categories to improve your search results. This is faceted search at work.
A ton of this value can simply be obtained by using knowledge that Drupal knows about its content as facets -- e.g. when a page (node) was created, by whom, what it's taxonomy / folksonomy tags are (and that these are tags), etc. Google can't discover these things during a crawl of a site; but Drupal knows them, and can utilize this metadata in ways Google can't.
Why does this matter? By doing a better job at helping web users discover what they want on a site, better site search encourages visitors to explore and discover new things on a site, connecting users to what they seek, which in turn directly increases page views, time on site, helps with click-through rates and many other metrics that relate to either the usefulness or profitability of the site. It also matters because, frankly, most Drupal sites need better ranked search results than are provided with default search. (Heaven knows ours does....) And finally because big Drupal sites need a faster, more tunable, more scalable search engine than Drupal's built-in site search.
Some forward-thinking Drupal site owners have taken some steps to improve their site search by installing and using another high-quality open source project called Solr, which is a very cool companion project to the mature, fast, and wonderful Lucene search engine. Lucene is a Java application, and Solr is a layer around it implementing faceted search and exposes itself (and Lucene) via a web services interface. (In fact, the cnet site linked above uses Lucene/Solr, and one of the key Solr contributors is the main programmer implementing this at cnet.) Drupal sites utilize a Lucene/Solr server via the Drupal Solr module, maintained by our own Robert Douglass, who has implemented Lucene/Solr in a number of large Drupal sites.
But while many other Drupal sites could benefit from the capabilities offered by Solr, it's often not practical for them to use it. They may lack the Java expertise to deploy and manage a Java-based application - or their hosting environment may not accommodate it. Or they may not know how to attend to the care and feeding of search indexes over the long term. The bar is just high enough that many people either don't even try to add these capabilities or give up after a few troubles.
Acquia can solve that problem. In the same way we can provide spam blocking from the Acquia Network, we can also provide a hosted version of site search. Acquia Drupal sites can connect their sites to it by using the Drupal Solr module. This becomes a staggeringly simple and easy way for Acquia Network subscribers to get the value of this enhanced site search.
So, we will do this. How? Knowing my interest in search, a couple of months ago Robert D. pointed me in the direction of Jacob Singh, Robert's partner in the care and feeding of the Drupal Solr module. Jacob was in the middle of building just such a hosted search service. When he and I mind-melded, it became clear to both of us that we both would win if we pulled his budding service in under Acquia. Some negotiations and weeks later, Jacob has joined us, and we're folding his service into the Acquia Network as I write this.
Various people inside Acquia will be blogging about this over the next few weeks as we get ready to release this service. We want to be very user-driven as we iterate towards releasing this. So if improving time on site, etc., is something you'd like for your site:
- Either register at acquia.com, or update your profile on your existing registration, and tell us you'd like to be considered for pre-release software;
- Keep an eye on this work and participate in the discussions on our Acquia Network Forums (subscription (free) required) and tell us what you'd like from this.
And all this is really just the first step on the road for us to bringing the semantic web and semantic search to the Drupalsphere. While they are different topics and technologies, they're both useful and important. Good site search can be done today; the semantic web and semantic search still need some maturity before we (as a vendor) can act. (Though the Drupal community can, and should be experimenting with this, as Dries suggests.)
If we succeed at this, we can be the leading content management vendor that really understands how search can improve our customers' sites in new and significant ways.
Yay! I can finally talk about this in public :D
For over a year I've been telling people at conferences how cool Solr is - with faceted search, content recommendation, multisite search, file search and more - and soon, thanks to Acquia, it will be easy for people to set up and experience it for themselves.
Jacob Singh has been a great partner in advancing the ApacheSolr module, and I'm thrilled to have him on board at Acquia.

Awesome news... we've been using faceted search on the Ubercart community site for some time now thanks to Rob's module, a spare server we had in office, and some help setting it all up from Mike O'Connor. (Hooray for communities!) It's been helping me to find old content tucked away on our site just as much as it's been helping our visitors and reducing the number of duplicate posts in our forums. Simple things impress me, like the magical faceted search blocks that I can enable on the search pages. : )
We've had something like 25,000 searches on it since August and no complaints so far. ; )
Could this please be enabled ASAP for Drupal.org?
Google's all fine and good but. . .
If d.o. were used as a real showcase for Drupal's capabilities and all that Acquia had to offer its top clients I'm sure many people would be impressed.
Not to mention the benefit of making d.o. more usable in trying find the golden needles in that haystack of documentation :)
PS OT I went to Phillips there in Andover, nice town, must be better than working downtown. . .
I wonder how you feel ApacheSolr compares to the faceted_search module? Especially faceted_search's concept of environments is a huge plus. I worked with both and I found that Faceted Search is a valid alternative to ApacheSolr.
So in short: what are your reasons for selecting a subscription-based implementation of ApacheSolr instead of integrating the faceted_search module in the Acquia Drupal installation?
David Lesieur's Faceted Search module is excellent, there's no argument there. The great innovations that it offers come especially in the configuration and the user interface. I'm a big fan of both. The downside to his module is that it is MySQL based, and doing facets in MySQL is a real drain on database resources (ie not suitable for huge datasets or high-traffic sites). The REST API aspect of ApacheSolr makes it a great candidate for being offered as a service, so if our goal is to give people great search while not killing their database, it is the perfect technology.

The bar is just high enough that many people either don't even try to add these capabilities or give up after a few troubles.
Any idea of what the costs associated with this service will be when released?
The Search service will be in beta (free) for several months. We're still researching the cost to provide the service, but we expect to be able to offer it as part of an Acquia subscription at a certain level. People who have very large sites will be able to purchase higher levels and index more content.
Let us know if you'd like to be a beta tester for the Search service.
The REST API aspect of ApacheSolr makes it a great candidate for being offered as a service, so if our goal is to give people great search while not killing their database, it is the perfect technology.
We are in the process of converting a large non-profit website to Drupal. The site maintains tens of thousands of documents, and improving search is a critical requirement. We are in the process of testing Google Site Search (GSS), and so far the results are encouraging.
GSS provides a means for filtering results, which they call Labels, which are tied to the URL hierarchy. For example, if you put all product-centric pages under the path /products and the library under /library, and give each path a label, Google will include the labels with links to the filtered pages in the result set.
This is good, but limited functionality. What I would like to see from you is a detailed treatise on how Solr's facets go beyond what GSS provides. For us, Google is your main competitor, and I think you need to address the differences directly.
Hi Dwight,
As soon as we have a competitive doc that is in shape to be shared,
I'll send you a copy. In the meantime, let us know if you want to be a
beta tester for Acquia Search and I'll add you to the list. thanks
Interesting.. People who have very large sites will be able to purchase higher levels and index more content. Regards

Order Information
Howard Weaver advanced from foot soldier to field marshal in the Alaska Newspaper War, but he never left the fight. He spent time with small-town hoodlums and big-time politicians, crossed swords with Big Oil and Big Labor, and edited the Anchorage Daily News to the most unlikely David and Goliath upset in American journalism history and helped his newspaper win two Pulitzer Prizes along the way. Weaver cared passionately and fought fiercely in every political struggle of his era, from oil development to Native sovereignty, from park land designations to environmental activism. The Anchorage Daily News pulled no punches in telling Alaska's story, and Weaver has pulled none in this account of a fierce, take-no-prisoners battle to the death between his newspaper and the Anchorage Times.
"There was a time when the newspaper business was actually fun. And nowhere was it more fun than in Alaska, as Howard Weaver reminds us in this in this riveting book of tales from the wild frontier of American journalism." --Dave Barry, Miami Herald
"This book is fascinating, inspiring, and moving. The author tells an important story about the conflicting forces at play in Alaska much larger than his own." ----Melanie Sill, editor, Sacramento Bee, 2007-2011
"Write Hard, Die Free reads like an X-ray of someone with an oversized heart. This is about the battle between good and evil, yet the most stunning portrait is of Howard Weaver - his capacity to care, to fight for things worth fighting for." ----John Larson, PBS correspondent
"The last great newspaper book - a testament to the true value of news and caring about where we live. Howard Weaver is a gifted storyteller with amazing tales of fighting for the heart and soul of Alaska." ----Jeff Jarvis, author of What Would Google Do?
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Howard Weaver lives with his wife Barbara Hodgin in the Sierra foothills, where they tend about 100 fruit and olive trees and learn, the hard way, about farming. For more information, visit www.HowardWeaver.com.

Lectionary Study series brings preachers together with Union faculty to study the Bible and engage the exegetical and homiletical challenges of preaching particular texts and themes within the context of one's own community. These mornings are a time of renewal as we gather to find a fresh word within the familiar texts of the Christian liturgical seasons.
Anyone who preaches, teaches, or otherwise leads a congregation is welcome to attend, free of charge. All you need to bring is a Bible. Breakfast will be provided.

What do you get when you take 80 calories and 9 grams of fat out of margarine? That's what I wanted to know when I picked up a two-pack of Smart Beat Super Light Margarine for $2.49 (for a total of 16 ounces). This spread is advertised as having 75% less fat and calories than butter and margarine. It also contains "essential fatty acids" (2 grams of fat), no saturated or trans fat, no lactose and no cholesterol. With all of this, I was intrigued to see if the taste lived up to the nutritional claims.
This "light margarine" tastes like, well, nothing. It isn't necessarily that it tastes bad, but it's just incredibly bland. It lacks that buttery, somewhat salty flavor that makes margarine and butter products so wonderful. I definitely wouldn't use this as a spread, and it can't be used in baking either as there is a disclaimer at the bottom that says: SMART BEAT is best used as a spread or topping. Use Regular Smart Balance for baking and frying. This means, this product is pretty much useless.
Although each tablespoon provides only 22 calories, my advice is to skip this spread altogether. It may be low in calories, but in this case it's not worth it. I would rather go with Brummel and Brown Spread, Earth Balance Natural Spread or even I Cant Believe Its Not Butter Fat Free Spread.

COP 19 (Nov. 2013, Warsaw, Poland) adopted the work programme 23/CP.19 on the revision of the guidelines for the review of biennial reports and national communications, including national inventory reviews, for developed country Parties.
When a Party chooses to report the BR and the NC as separate reports, the reader- friendliness could be enhanced by indicating which parts are similar in both reports. In any case, provision of complete, transparent, accurate, comparable and consistent information in the BR and the common tabular format is an essential reporting requirement.
The Conference of the Parties, in decision 19/CP.18, requested the UNFCCC secretariat to develop a test version of an electronic reporting application for the common tabular format (BR CTF) for developed country Parties, by May 2013 and to finalize the development by July 2013.
The BR CTF application has been released on 22 July 2013, for use by Parties to report their common tabular formats of biennial reports. The advanced version of the application which allows compilers to import data from excel to BR CTF tables 2-9 was released on 18 October. Noted issues are being fixed on a regular basis. Currently, the BR CTF has over 200 users from 43 Parties and is supported by the secretariat's help desk <email@example.com>.
The user manual is available on the landing page of the application. If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact <email@example.com>.

Important Information >>
Few kitchen stools are as clean and elegant as this one. I built it with splayed legs to provide a stable footing. The multi-level rungs offer a variety of foot perches to satisfy just about anybody, no matter how short or tall they are. I topped it off with a gently scooped seat that's comfortable enough to permit lingering over a satisfying meal.
Please visit our blog for more information on how to build this kitchen stool. Project posted by Seth Keller of American Woodworker.

President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney fight to the finish
BY LYNN SWEET Twitter: @lynnsweet November 4, 2012 10:24PM
President Barack Obama looks to the crowd as he arrives to speak at a campaign in the State Capitol Square, Sunday, Nov. 4, 2012, in Concord, N.H. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster)
Updated: December 6, 2012 11:49AM
BEACHWOOD, Ohio — The contest between President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney is ending so close, I'm wondering if I should be booking a room for the Ohio recount.
Kidding aside, this has been a long, nasty slog, starting with the GOP primary last year.
It will end in a few hours.
Obama flies to Chicago tonight, and unlike 2008 — when it was clear he was going to beat Sen. John McCain — Tuesday will be tougher.
We'll see if he continues his election day tradition of playing basketball — or if he will be using Tuesday exclusively to make turnout calls until polls close in the battleground states deciding who will be the next president. In 2008, Obama jetted over to an Indiana phone bank before hitting the gym in Chicago.
New polls from Pew Research and NBC/WSJ suggest that Obama has been bolstered by his handling of Hurricane Sandy. Battleground state surveys show a lean toward Obama — but are too close to call. The Columbus Dispatch on Sunday had Obama at 50 percent to 48 percent for Romney — a toss-up. CNN/ORC International on Sunday put the national number at 49 percent each for Obama and Romney.
Who will win? Turnout is the key.
I welcomed the Sunday morning email from Obama's main SuperPAC — the one Mayor Rahm Emanuel is raising money for — because the message said "final ads" in the subject line. By the way, Politico reported a few days ago that Emanuel was calling unions asking for donations of "at least six-figures and in at least one case requested a union contribute $1 million."
Toss-up Ohio, with 18 electoral votes, remains the top prize in the quest for 270 electoral votes to win the White House. The Obama and Romney teams — or their top surrogates — have been commuting here daily in the closing chapter of the contest.
The deadlocked rivals were working their base votes in the battleground states Sunday where an investment of their time may still make a difference. On Sunday, Obama visited Concord, N.H. — where he twined with former President Bill Clinton — then Hollywood, Fla., Cincinnati and a late night in Denver.
Romney was in Des Moines, Cleveland, Newport News, Va., and Morrisville, Pa.
Vice President Joe Biden and wife Jill and Rep. Paul Ryan also were in Ohio.
Romney and Obama close out their Ohio quest with rallies in Columbus on Monday a few hours apart — with Obama bringing with him Bruce Springsteen and Jay-Z.
This being the final Sunday before the election, and with polls open between 1 and 5 p.m., in Ohio, the Obama team was running its "souls to the polls" get-out-the vote-after-church program aimed at African Americans.
The closing stump speeches of Obama and Romney are instructive in that as the campaign has progressed, Romney, needing a snapping slogan, simply lifted one from Obama. Romney's team even picked the same powder blue for their "real change" signs.
That Obama let his "hope and change" mantra of 2008 slip through his fingers — starting, lets say, with the rise of the Tea Party movement in 2009 — is understandable, since his 2008 campaign was aspirational. He had no record to defend.
On the final weekend of the campaign, Obama has been on the defensive over the change claim. Romney has been hitting him hard on that point. One of his most potent appeals — it seems to me — has been wooing disappointed 2008 Obama voters.
In Cleveland, Romney, who appeared with country music singer Rodney Atkins, said, "The question of this election comes down to this. Do you want four more years of the same, or do you want real change?
"Now, President Obama promised change but he couldn't deliver it. I not only promise change, I have a record of achieving it."
Obama, in Hollywood, Fla., said, "Governor Romney is a very talented salesman. So in this campaign, he's tried as hard as he can to repackage these old ideas that didn't work and pretend that they're new ideas, and he's offering them up as change. But here's the thing, Florida. We know what change looks like."
Said Obama, "What Governor Romney is offering ain't it."

The way forward: taking up the key issues identified at the EU level
Copenhagen Conference: Working groups
Right to political participation
The right to political participation is among the most fundamental of civil and political human rights. It is also one of the fundamental principles of the Convention on the rights of persons with disabilities (CRPD), which sets out the right to vote in Article 29. Participants noted that many persons with intellectual disabilities or mental health problems in the European Union (EU) are deprived of their right to political participation: some are automatically excluded from the electoral process when they lose their legal capacity; while others may be deemed unable to vote on the basis of an individual assessment.
Involuntary placement and involuntary treatment
Participants noted that the law in many EU Member States currently applies a 'medical care' approach to involuntary placement and involuntary treatment, noting that there is a need to bring EU Member State legislation in line with the non-discrimination principles of the CRPD.
This workshop created a space for dialogue between persons with mental health problems, medical professionals, legal practitioners, government representatives and other stakeholders.
Deinstitutionalisation has been on the political agenda at the global, European and national levels for many years. It aims to increase the personal autonomy, self-determination and inclusion in society of persons with disabilities by enabling them to choose where to live, regardless of their impairment. Despite the widespread adoption of deinstitutionalisation policies across the EU, participants said that over one million people live in institutions in the EU and neighbouring countries. This serves to reinforce the segregation of persons with disabilities and to reduce the choice and control they can exert over their daily lives. Discussants in this working group set the scene by identifying the challenges as well the progress achieved and provided examples of promising practices.
Legal capacity and supported decision-making
The right to legal capacity is a fundamental right and its enjoyment a prerequisite for enjoying other rights on an equal basis. Only if a person has full legal capacity may he or she make legally binding decisions about, for example, his or her private life, work, education, housing or political participation. Participants noted that according to Article 12 of the CRPD, States Parties must, in order to preserve the self-determination of persons with disabilities, promote self-determination and use supported decision-making rather than substituted decision-making.
Having a family
Article 23 of the CRPD requires that States Parties take effective and appropriate measures to eliminate discrimination against persons with disabilities in all matters relating to marriage, family, parenthood and relationships, on an equal basis with others. In practice, the realisation of this right means different things to different people. Persons with disabilities may face difficulties in living together as a family: they may not be sufficiently supported to act as a parent; or they may have their child forcibly removed.
Bullying and harassment
Bullying, harassment and violence against persons with disabilities often remain hidden. More awareness-raising is needed to address what is both a violation of their fundamental rights and a major obstacle to promoting independent living for persons with disabilities. Harassment and violence affect children and adults with intellectual or with physical disabilities or with mental health problems. Participants noted that physical, psychological or sexual violence can happen within a family context, in institutions, during the provision of services or when taking part in daily activities, such as using a bus or walking in a park.

Very happy with this purchase. Great price and very good quality rug. Color is perfect. Not much shedding.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.The color was exactly as it appears online! For a wool rug there was minimal shedding. Very nice pile and very soft! I would buy again if I needed to.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Very minimal shedding, excellent pile. The color online is true to what you receive (Aqua).Good Binding!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Colors true to picture. Soft and good pile for the price. Hope it cleans well. We put it in low traffic area.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I ordered the rug in the yellow color. so far, i like it, but like the other reviewers have said, it does shed ALOT. Also, I feel like the color isn't as vivid yellow as it appears in the picture. The ombre effect is also not as prominent as shown in the picture.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Beautiful, thick rug. Color was exactly as depicted. The style of rug has a lot of "loose" fibers when first unrolled, so be prepared to vaccuum initially to clear - but the rug is very lush and beautiful
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I bought the turquoise rug. It s soft and rolled out decently, but it was a very bright color. The picture made it look much more muted. The ombré went into a dirty cream. We honestly thought it was dirty. And the ombre had a strong pattern. I expected a straight gadient, but there was a pattern. So unfortunately this is going back.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.Great colors. Service to be desired and wasn't very responsive to my needs, but in the end I got what I wanted which was the rug.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.great rug. very plush and comfy. think bright grassy green, not at all muted like it looks on screen. love it.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Thus is a well-made rug but the greens are lot greener than they look on computer. Think Christmas or grass..really green, IOW.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I bought two. They are on either side of the bed and my wife and I love them.
Can't recommend yet, we like the rug, but it is very rippled. It was not shipped with a cardboard tube to hold the shape. As time goes by, it seems to be flatening out - so we will see!
This has a nice feel and the color was pretty true to the picture. It was the only size available in this color so it had to work and it does.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
