We still have a lot of roses blooming in Toronto too, but one bloom on the tip of a leafless, long, stem. Looks very odd. |

Out of curiosity, how is the repeat bloom on Mystic Beauty? |
Very nice! |
Its great to see roses in our zone still producing! Most of my fuller bloomed roses are balling like crazy...but the less peteled ones are doing ok still! Love Mystic Beauty...I have it on order for spring, and can't wait! Your Green Ice also looks like its loving this cooler weather! :) ~Tammy |
You have quite a few pretties left! What a gorgeous spray on Eutin! |
Thank you, everyone, for your encouraging comments. bustopher, I can't say exactly how well Mystic Beauty is on rebloom. I planted her in May 2011 and then moved her in July 2011--so she hasn't fully settled down in any one spot yet. That said, she is one tough rose. She was blooming when I moved her in 90 degree heat and she hardly skipped a breath in her new spot--just went on blooming. There was a pause then in the bloom cycle, but it wasn't any longer than any other rose typically has. Considering what she had gone through, I considered that a rather quick recovery. So far, I can't think of anything I do not like about Mystic Beauty--well, I guess the weak neck (when it rains) is my only complaint. Kate |
Beautiful roses!i have 2 eutin roses and I love them !i love the big spray of flowers!thanks for sharing this pretty roses. |
I always love the look of pansies with roses, great pics. |

The Information Technology-Information Sharing and Analysis Center has
named its 2008 board of directors, with Phil Reitinger as its new
Reitinger leads Microsofts Critical Infrastructure Protection Team. As
director of trustworthy computing, he works closely with government
agencies to enhance the security of infrastructures and to further
Microsofts Trustworthy Computing Initiative, a long-term, companywide
program to promote the values of reliability, security, privacy and
responsible business practices.
The technology sharing and analysis center is a nonprofit organization
of corporate leaders from the information technology sector. It was
established in 2000 to identify vulnerabilities and threats, including
working with the Department of Homeland Security to accomplish the goals
behind the National Infrastructure Protection Plan and information
technology sector-specific plan.
The IT-ISAC plays an integral role in helping the public and IT sector
collaborate to combat evolving threats against critical infrastructure,
Reitinger said. The commitment demonstrated by the members of our
organization is critical and will help us drive enhanced risk management
and other initiatives in 2008.
Reitinger was previously the boards vice president and is replacing John
Sabo, director of global government relations from CA Inc., as IT-ISAC
president. Joining Reitinger as vice president is Brian Willis, an
information security analyst at Intel Corp.
Reitingers background in information technology includes a stint in the
Justice Departments criminal division as deputy chief of the computer
crime and intellectual property section. He also worked as a criminal
division trial attorney and was a special assistant U.S. attorney in
1997 in the Eastern District of Virginia. Before joining the criminal
division, he was a trial attorney in the civil division.
Named IT-ISAC secretary and treasurer were, respectively, Mary Ann
Davidson, chief security officer at Oracle Corp., and Rob Clyde, vice
president of technology at Symantec Corp.

His dad was sick in the hospital—the person who taught him how to throw a knuckleball. Now, he had to make it count. The inspiring story behind Phil Niekro's emotional victory.
Joe and I were fortunate enough to go on to have solid careers. In 1985 we found ourselves together playing for the New York Yankees. What's more, by mid-September I was approaching 300 career wins, a hall-of-fame milestone for a pitcher, and, more importantly, the team was in the thick of a pennant race.
There was one problem: Dad was in the hospital, terribly sick. All those hard years in the mine had exacted a price. He had already lost a leg. Now he had internal bleeding, blood clots in his lungs, pneumonia, everything.
When Mom called to tell us Dad had slipped into a coma, she was crying so hard she could hardly explain herself.
Joe and I hopped the first plane home. We got to the hospital just after Dad received the last rites. The Big Bear was skin and bones, his dulled eyes half open, and a tangle of tubes attached to him. Joe and I stayed with him three days and nights, talking to him. But if he heard us, he gave no sign.
The fourth morning I faced a decision. I was slated to pitch that night—my three hundredth career victory if I won. There was a lot of media interest and fan excitement. Only an elite handful of pitchers had ever reached that many victories.
The season was winding down, and who knew if I would be on the roster next year? At 46, I was a relic by baseball standards. I wanted to help the Yanks win the division and bag number 300. I wanted it for Dad.
Yet how could I leave The Big Bear's side when he was so near death? He would want me to play ball no matter what, I knew, but I needed to hear that from him. I leaned over the bed and explained the situation. "Dad," I finished, "I'm afraid I'll never see you again. What should I do? Can you hear me?"
No response. Nothing. Just the rhythmic beeping of a monitor. I closed my eyes tight and prayed, Please, Lord, let him answer me!
"Look!" Joe cried. "He's moving his fingers!"
Dad's fingers twitched on the sheets.

"Do you want a pencil and paper?" I asked. "Blink your eyes once for yes, twice for no." Dad blinked slowly, once.
Joe dug around in his bag and came up with a pad and pencil. Carefully we put them in Dad's hands. Very slowly he formed letters. After a few painstaking minutes, the pencil fell from his fingers. He had written: "WIN...HAPPY."
The effort had exhausted him, but Joe and I knew what we had to do. We caught the next flight back to New York, just in time for me to take the mound at Yankee Stadium. In my back pocket I had Dad's scrawled message. Nothing was going to stop me from winning number 300.
Nothing except the knuckleball.
I just didn't have a good pitch that night. As they say, my knuckler wasn't knuckling. Four games later, on my next start, I failed again to win number 300. On October 2 I got another no decision. Something had gone out of my knuckler. I wasn't getting batters out with it.
Between starts I rushed back to Dad's bedside. He was still in a coma. He hadn't responded to anyone since that day he wrote the note. I promised him I would give it one more try.
On October 6 I made my last start of the season, in Toronto against the Blue Jays. They had already beaten us out for the division title. It would be my last shot at 300 that year, perhaps forever. I made a hard decision. I laid off the knuckleball.
All through the game I fired fastballs, sliders, curves, change-ups. But I stayed away from the knuckler. I couldn't chance it anymore. They had the game on the radio for Dad in his hospital room. I wondered if he could hear the announcers talking about my not throwing the knuckler. It would mystify him.
By the bottom of the ninth inning I was pitching a shutout. Even the Blue Jays faithful were cheering me on. But it felt strange without the knuckler. Despite the cool, brisk breeze, perspiration dampened the sweatband on my cap. One out stood between me and number 300. I reared back and threw a fastball. The batter hit a rope to right center for a double.
Manager Billy Martin perched nervously on the top dugout step. I got two quick strikes on the next batter. One strike away. I called time, and my catcher, Butch Wynegar, trotted out to the mound.
"Whatya gonna throw, Knucksie?"

This year's theme of "A Children's Winter Wonderland" combined with the First Lady's "Let's Move" initiative inspired the project that will be on display through the holiday season. The installation is the first of it's kind in the White House and exemplifies the administration's commitment to technology, American innovation and design – sometimes referred to as STEAM, something we here at Second Story are passionate about. To learn more about the project, visit the NEA for the office press release or read the White House's press release. Check out some notable press that has come out here and here.

Greater Than The Sum is just a cropped version of one of the SOTL calendar images. And I guess the guy who did the calendar image didn't get paid for the re-use, so it's lazy and cheap.

Thursday, May 06
Sun Life Stadium
Attendance: 12,804
Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Aaron Rowand went 2-for-4 with a triple and two runs batted in, and Matt Cain took a no-hitter into the sixth inning, as the San Francisco Giants completed a three-game sweep with a 6-3 win over the Florida Marlins at Sun Life Stadium.
Nate Schierholtz added three hits, including a solo homer, and Mark DeRosa drove in a pair for the Giants, who swept the Marlins in Miami for the first time since winning a three-game set from May 6-8, 2003. San Francisco has won five of six overall.
Cain (2-1) worked seven-plus innings, allowing two runs on four hits with three walks and six strikeouts. The right-hander improved to 3-0 lifetime against the Marlins. Brian Wilson got the final out in the ninth to earn his sixth save of the season.
"I was just trying to get strikes early," Cain said. "It was working with me last start and that's what I was trying to do with these guys as well, get these guys swinging...a little off balance and get it rolling that way."
Hanley Ramirez, Dan Uggla and Brett Carroll each knocked in a run for Florida, which has dropped six of its last eight.
"We didn't have any timely hitting this series," Uggla said. "We had some opportunities, but didn't get it done."
Ricky Nolasco (2-2) suffered the loss for yielding three runs on five hits with three strikeouts over six innings of work. He did not allow a walk.
The Giants plated a run in the second to grab the early lead. DeRosa's two-out double to center brought home Juan Uribe, who reached on a two-base error by Nolasco.
Rowand then hit a one-out triple in the third and crossed the plate on a sacrifice fly by pinch-hitter Matt Downs to make it a 2-0 game. Schierholtz cracked a homer to right in the fifth to give the Giants a three-run cushion.
Cain took a no-hitter into the sixth inning, but after retiring the first two batters, Chris Coghlan grounded a base hit up the middle.
Chris Leroux replaced Nolasco in the seventh and San Francisco tacked on three runs. Aubrey Huff got things started with a double and scored two batters later when DeRosa singled to center. Rowand added a two-run base hit to stretch the Giants lead to 6-0.
Uggla's RBI single in the bottom half got the Marlins on the board. Florida loaded the bases with one out in the eighth and got only a sacrifice fly from Ramirez that cut the deficit to 6-2.
Jeremy Affeldt came on to work the bottom of the ninth and walked Uggla leading off. Then after striking out John Baker, he gave up a single to Cody Ross. A wild pitch moved the runners to second and third before Carroll's groundout scored a run. Wilson was summoned from the bullpen and struck out pinch-hitter Wes Helms to end the game.

Forestay tension = pointing

Matching forestay sag to luff hollow .....
There is one and only one tension in a forestay (headstay on a cutter, etc.) that will CORRESPOND to the 'luff hollow' - the long smooth curve that the sailmaker cut into the luff. The luff hollow is cut from the front panels to compensate for the EXPECTED sag in the forestay.
If the forestay is not precisely tensioned, then the angle of attack attainable from the sail's geometry is lessened. Same applies equally to: too-tight and too-loose.
Too loose a forestay and the angle of attack (ability) lessens, draft goes aft, and the CE .... moves to leeward !!!!!!! Result: aggressive heeling, keel begins to SKID off to leeward or minimal LIFT development, s-l-o-w-s.
For PRECISION matching the luff hollow TO the correct forestay tension:
(If you dont have the sailmakers original values of luff hollow). Take the jib and lay is on clean & FLAT ground, make a 'bifold' along the luff so that the luff section is FLAT on the ground with ALL wrinkles out of the luff section... the 'bifold' will allow the partially spherical sail to lay flat along the luff .... the mid & leech sections will have some wrinkles.
Then pull a string taught between the head and tack connection, then from the taught string put a few (perpendicular) marks all the same distance from the string well 'into' the luff. I sew down a long 1/4" wide (grey) tape along these marks .... all the way down and a few inches back from the leading edge of the luff. You can use a few 'dots' of 'permanent marker'. If you have ANY QUESTION during racing, etc. of correct backstay (forestay) tension, simply walk forward and put your eyeball near the tack of the sail a "look up" - if the added 'luff hollow stripe' is STRAIGHT .... then the forestay tension is ABSOLUTELY TOTALLY PERFECT .... and you cant get it any better because the luff section of the sail is EXACTLY at the shape that the sail designer cut into the sail. When 'looking up', your eyeballl must be perpendicular to the 'side' of the luff ... not from behind like when sitting in the cockpit.
Set the forestay tension CORRECTLY (depends on conditions, sail loads, sea-state, etc.) so that the SAG in the forestay EXACTLY matches the luff hollow hat the sailmaker cut into the sail ..... and the sail's luff shape will be fully optimized. The boat will point like a banshee, the keel will LIFT, and the wake of the boat will be coming straight out the stern of the boat, etc.
Warning --- dont overcrank on the jib winches as this will also increase the forestay sag, etc. ... if so (as indicated by the luff hollow stripe) then you need to add more backstay.
This is a simple VISUAL way to get correct backstay/forestay tension each and every time out that does not involve 'guesswork'.
hope this helps.

Here are some of the latest health and medical news developments, compiled by the editors of HealthDay:
Two Confirmed Ebola Deaths in Congo
Two Ebola deaths have been confirmed in Congo, but officials say the deaths are not linked to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.
The two confirmed deaths occurred in the Boende region of Congo's northwest Equateur province. Officials believe Ebola has actually killed 13 people in the region, including five health workers, the Associated Press reported.
Eleven people in the region are sick and in isolation and 80 people who had contact with infected patients are being traced, Felix Kabange Numbi, Congo's health minister, said.
The outbreak in Congo "has nothing to do with the one in West Africa," according to Kabange.
He noted that this is the seventh Ebola outbreak in Congo since 1976 and said the "experience acquired during the six previous epidemics of Ebola will contribute to the containing of this illness," the AP reported.
The Ebola outbreak in West Africa has so far caused 2,615 illnesses and 1,427 deaths in Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Nigeria.
In related news, a British man who contracted Ebola in Sierra Leone was flown back to the U.K. on the weekend and is now in an isolation unit in a London hospital, BBC News reported.
The patient is "not currently seriously unwell", a Department of Health spokesman said. The department said the decision to bring the man back to the U.K. was made after receiving "clinical advice."
The Ebola risk to the U.K. remains "very low," health officials emphasized, BBC News reported.
Rating System for Nursing Homes May Mislead Consumers
A Medicare rating system for nursing homes can mislead consumers about the actual level of care provided in the homes, according to The New York Times.
For the last five years, Medicare has used a hotel-like five-star rating system to grade nearly every nursing home in the United States, with five stars being the top level. About one-fifth of more than 15,000 nursing homes nationwide have five stars.
However, The Times found that many five-star facilities received their high ranking based largely on self-reported data that is not confirmed by Medicare officials.
There are three criteria used to rate nursing homes, but only one -- annual health inspection findings -- relies on assessments from independent inspectors. The other factors -- staff numbers and quality statistics -- are reported by the nursing homes and, for the most part, accepted by Medicare with no verification.
The rating system does not take into account negative data such as complaints filed with state agencies, or fines and other enforcement actions take by state, rather than federal, officials, The Times reported.
The rating system gives nursing homes incentives to do better, according to federal officials, who added that there is room for improvement and that they are trying to do so.
"We have seen improvements," in the care provided by nursing homes, Dr. Patrick Conway, the chief medical officer at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, told The Times.
He noted that the use of physical restraints by nursing homes has decreased, as has the number of reported bedsores among patients at a high risk of developing them.
This year, Medicare plans to start introducing similar five-start ratings for hospitals, dialysis centers and home-health-care agencies.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — So you've signed up for the dating website OKCupid, looking for love. But instead of your dream date, your nagging mother shows up haranguing you to buy health insurance before the clock runs out.
A new social media ad campaign by HealthSource RI aimed at getting younger Rhode Islanders to sign up for private health insurance plans by the March 31{+s}{+t} deadline is drawing national attention this week — not all of it positive.
The Rhode Island health-benefits exchange campaign uses Facebook ads targeting so-called "young invincibles" [ages 23 to 33], teasing them that unless they enroll, HealthSource RI "will teach their mothers how to find them on social media."
A separate Facebook ad aimed at women 45 and older does just that. The "Nag Toolkit" (www.nagtoolkit.com) shows them how to register for dating and social media sites and apps such as Tinder, OkCupid, Twitter, Snapchat and Vine, so they can "mercilessly" nag their children to sign up for health care.
"Creepy," said the Washington Post. "A little unsettling," said BuzzFeed. "Weird," "desperate," and "curious," Obamacare critics have opined.
HealthSource RI director Christine Ferguson said Wednesday that the campaign "is going beautifully. Since Thursday, we have had close to 1,100 young people click through from the ad to HealthSource RI" at www.healthsourceri.com.
Ferguson acknowledged the criticism, saying, "Some people like the ad, some people don't like the ad — it's tongue-in-cheek."
The Nag Toolkit provides step-by-step tutorials, including "create a provocative username," upload a photo, create a profile, find son/daughter and send messages saying, 'Get health insurance.' "
Ferguson said, "The point wasn't to get moms actually to sign up; the point was to get people to start talking about it."
She added, "The most important thing to me, and to us, is that it sparks the conversation and it gets people interested enough to look at the issue and look at what the possibilities for coverage are. Based on the number of people we've seen in a very short time without any publicity, I think it's a success."
Ferguson said she tried out the campaign on her 22-year-old son, who attends Drew University.
"I actually went through it with a bunch of kids from the rugby team, and people from the theater department, and his friends, and tested out what their reactions were. And they thought it was a really great campaign.
"Their initial reaction was to cringe and say, 'Oh my god.' But immediately after the cringe, there were a whole lot of belly laughs … they thought it was hilarious. They thought it made the point."
The marketing campaign cost $14,535, and was done by NAIL, the Rhode Island exchange's Providence-based advertising firm, said HealthSource RI spokeswoman Dara Chadwick.
The HealthSource RI ads come as the Obama administration races the clock with its own publicity campaign, much of it aimed at enrolling young people — the 18- to 34-year-olds considered critical to keeping premiums reasonable under the systems established by the national health-care law.
The Facebook advertisements will run through the end of March. March 31 marks the last day individuals can get covered in 2014 and avoid paying a federal penalty.

Woodside Petroleum advises that the Alaric-1 exploration well in permit WA-434-P has intersected approximately 185 m gross gas over several zones within the Triassic target.
If the well proves commercially viable it could give new impetus to plans for a second train to be built at Woodside's AU$ 13 billion Pluto LNG project. Currently the plant has a planned capacity of 4.3 million tpa, to be completed by late 2010; the addition of a second train would raise capacity to 8.3 million tpa of LNG
Initial analysis of drilling fluids suggests the gas could be comparatively liquids rich, but this requires confirmation by further analysis.
Alaric-1 is currently being deepened to ensure the full gas column is penetrated. Subsequent to drilling, wireline logging will be conducted to recover gas samples and the well will be plugged and abandoned as planned.
The Alaric-1 well is 100% owned by Woodside and is located in Woodside's Claudius hub and significantly extends the area of the known gas province in the Greater Carnarvon Basin.

Billings resident Angela Corson Smith admitted Thursday in U.S. District Court that she defrauded a bank and investors of about $150,000.
Appearing before U.S. District Judge Susan Watters, Smith, 33, pleaded guilty to bank fraud and to wire fraud during a hearing that lasted more than an hour.
A plea agreement calls for six other counts to be dismissed at sentencing.
The agreement also calls for Smith to pay $150,800 restitution, in amounts ranging from $2,000 to $45,000, to all of the victims, including those in counts to be dismissed.
Watters set sentencing for May 8 and continued Smith's release. The bank fraud charge carries a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine. Restitution is mandatory.
The hearing was the second time Smith has pleaded guilty in the case, which has a taken a few twists.
In a separate investigation, Smith is suspected of impersonating a nurse at Billings Clinic in April. Billings police investigated, but no state charges have been filed. Yellowstone County Attorney Scott Twito has said he is waiting for the federal case to end before deciding whether to file charges against Smith.
At Thursday's hearing, Watters, who took over the case shortly after being sworn into office in December, told the parties that in reviewing the file, she learned that her husband, Billings Police Detective Ernie Watters, investigated allegations that Smith impersonated another individual.
"I was not aware he was investigating Ms. Smith," the judge said.
Watters gave Smith and her attorney, Assistant Federal Defender Steve Babcock, time to consider whether they wanted to proceed with her as the judge. After meeting privately for a few minutes, Babcock and Smith returned to the courtroom.
"We are completely fine with proceeding," Babcock said.
Responding to the judge's questions about her work history, Smith said she is working full time as a driver for Transportation Services.
She previously had worked for EBMS, helping people with prescription claims, and for St. Vincent Healthcare as an emergency room technician. Smith said she does not have a nursing degree.
Prosecutors said that in the bank fraud, Smith forged her then-husband's name on loan documents to get a $27,300 home equity loan from Altana Federal Credit Union in October 2009.
In the wire fraud charge, prosecutors said, Smith got people to invest in a new business called Medical Billing Advocates of Montana. Smith used her residence as the mailing address for the business, which never had a client, the prosecutors said.
The scheme ran from September 2010 to January 2013.
Smith used payments from some investors to pay earlier investors, gave investors checks that bounced and told investors she was "gravely ill, that her daughter was gravely ill and that she was experiencing marital difficulties," the plea agreement said.
Smith deposited investors' money into a bank account she opened in the name of MBAM and used the money to pay for her personal expenses, all of which were "wholly unrelated to the purported business venture," prosecutors said.
Babcock told the judge that some of the investors' money went to pay earlier investors, while some of the money ended up in a joint account Smith had with her ex-husband and was spent on personal expenses.
Smith admitted lying to get money from investors.
Smith initially pleaded guilty in July to one count of bank fraud but the judge, Senior U.S. District Judge Sam Haddon, rejected the plea deal when she was to be sentenced in October and allowed Smith to withdraw her plea.
Some restitution issues had not been fully addressed in the first plea agreement, Babcock said.
The prosecutors and the defense then reached a second agreement in which Smith would admit to two felonies and restitution was pegged at $150,800.
Smith was set to plead guilty on Dec. 16, but Haddon continued the hearing at Babcock's request for medical reasons.
Smith had signed her second plea agreement on Dec. 11, then unexpectedly had emergency surgery late that night, Babcock said.
Babcock told the judge Smith had undergone an emergency appendectomy and had an ovarian cyst drained on Dec. 11 and was taking prescription pain medication.
The medication, he said, made her unable to make voluntary and knowing guilty pleas.
Babcock assured the judge that Smith would go through with the plea change.
Haddon ordered Babcock to file a report detailing Smith's medical treatment and when Smith would be ready to plead guilty. Babcock filed the report, which was sealed.
At Thursday's hearing, Smith said she was seeing a counselor for treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder, was not under a doctor's care and was not taking any prescription medication.

Maximizing Site Speed with ServInt's New Resource Graphing Tools
Site speed is all about page load times. But what causes one site (or one page) to load faster than another?
The short answer is that it depends on the site and the server. Each combination is unique, but there's a lot you can do to find your bottleneck.
Even to experienced developers, the traditional VPS or cloud server sold by most hosting companies can be something of a black box. There are specs listed on the company's site; there may even be a control panel that reminds you of the power of your server. But in the end, you make a purchase and hope that the hardware is fast enough for your application.
But how much of your allotted resources are you actually using, and how much do you have in reserve for growth? Read more
Your Site Will Never Slow Down Because of Your Server.
We Stand Behind it and We Prove it.
If you're a ServInt SolidFire customer, your site will never slow down because of your server. Ever.
Did you know that? Have we done a good job explaining that to you? I wonder sometimes.
In past blog posts, we've examined IOPS, resource contention, disaster recovery, and lots of other very good reasons why you should choose our SolidFire-powered VPS and dedicated servers. But when you boil it all down, the main reason is this:
If you're a ServInt SolidFire customer, your site will never slow down because of your server.
That's revolutionary — and it's a genuine first for the business-focused hosting industry. No other hosting company can make this promise.
Now, as of today, we're backing our promise up with a revolutionary new guarantee — ServInt's SolidFire Site Performance Guarantee — that says this: if your site slows down because your server doesn't deliver 100% of the CPU, RAM, disk and IOPS you were promised, for more than five minutes… you get your entire month of hosting absolutely free.
How will you know whether you're getting all the server resources you deserve? By using our new, completely transparent system resource graphs — another ServInt exclusive. From this day forward, if you're a SolidFire customer, we're not just going to tell you exactly how much RAM, CPU, disk and IOPS you'll get with each hosting package. We're going to put tools into your hands to keep us honest — tools that will give you real, verifiable proof that your server is delivering what you paid for — and we're going to back it all up with the most radical system resource guarantee in the hosting industry.
Here's the punchline: ninety-nine-point-whatever percent server "uptime" guarantees are a thing of the past. As of today, ServInt is guaranteeing server performance — i.e., guaranteeing that your site is not only up and online, but also that your site or app performance is never compromised by any server resource shortcoming. Ever. We'll prove it to you.
In Web Hosting as in Auto Racing, Top Speeds Mean Nothing
There's an interesting parallel between the way people buy web hosting and the way they buy sports cars. Frequently, the sports car purchaser who doesn't actually compete in races will buy their vehicle based on theoretical maximum performance capability, examining numbers like top speed, maximum horsepower and so forth to see how fast their dream car might theoretically go.
Of course, people who actually race for a living understand a critically important maxim: top speeds don't win races, high average speeds do. That means it's just as important to be able to speed around accidents and slow traffic as it is to power down the straightaways as fast as possible.
It's the same with hosting. The size of a CPU, the amount of RAM, the network uplink speed — these are all important metrics, but everybody's working with similar engines these days. You can get your specs and never see reliable performance at other host because your server still can't swerve around the accidents and slower traffic without getting bogged down. Why? Because of something called IOPS. Read more
Web Hosting for Non-Technical People: Pricing Cloud Services
Last week we talked about the dangers of generalizing about website and app requirements when picking a cloud service provider. Here's the big question we're going to try to answer this week:
Is it even possible to compare prices between cloud hosting options?
An increasing number of large cloud service providers have been trying to address the problem of explaining just what their services cost by producing cost calculators like Amazon's. There are a few problems with these calculators. Read more
Webhosting for Non-Technical People: the Dark World of DDoS Attacks
DDoS attacks sound like something out of one of those cheese-ball 1980s "hackers break into somebody's computer and ignite a world war three" movies — you know, the ones that feature 400 baud modems and TRS-80s with cassette drives — but "distributed denial of service" (DDoS) attacks are very real, and are a growing problem.
ServInt, like everybody else in the hosting industry, has seen an uptick in DDoS activities on its network over the last couple of years. And while DDoS hasn't been a major problem for us, it's something we're working hard to stay ahead of — which is what brought it to my attention, and what got me to make the effort to understand DDoS attacks better.
What is a DDoS attack?
A DDoS attack occurs when hackers gain control of multiple computers (that's what makes these attacks "distributed") and force them to make some form of system resource-dependent request of a target computer or website. The volume at which these requests are made quickly overwhelms the computer that is being targeted, and eventually the site or computer ceases functioning.
This is not the place — and I am certainly not the author — to go into the specifics of how this all works. Here's an article that does a good job summarizing the different kinds of DDoS attacks.
What's more important to you and me is: how can all this affect ServInt customers, and what measures does ServInt take to address the problem? Read more
Why is My VPS Slow?
Does your website load slowly?
Have you upgraded into a "professional" hosting package only to find that your new VPS lacks the performance you were promised?
Lackluster server performance has been a thorn in the side of VPS hosting customers for some time. Many buyers have learned to pay attention to server specs — getting as much RAM, as many CPU cores and as much disk space as possible for their money. But others have realized that spec shopping alone won't guarantee performance.
But why not? Why can't VPS customers simply buy a server with more RAM, CPU and disk and trust that they will get the boost in server performance they require?
The problem most often comes down to something called the "noisy neighbor." Read more
The Perils of Shared Hosting
The web hosting market is a pretty saturated one. With software such as cPanel and WHM, it's very easy to set up a server and begin offering shared hosting packages to people. For less than the average cost of a quick bite to eat, companies are promising unlimited disk space and bandwidth to anyone willing to become a customer.
The main reason why there are so many web hosting companies offering shared hosting is the profit margin. The more customers they can cram on a server, the more profit they can make. There are, however, numerous drawbacks to selecting a hosting company based on the price of the service. Like anything in life, you get what you pay for and a low cost hosting package can sometimes end up costing you more than just money.
Know your shared hosting neighbors
Shared hosting services often use a single IP address for all customers on a single machine. One of the biggest issues with this type of setup is that if one of your neighbors on the same server gets identified for spam, malware or anything similar, everyone on the same IP address can end up suffering along with them. Not only can this seriously affect your search engine ranking and appearance, but it can also cause some web filtering and malware protection services to inadvertently block you along with everyone else on the same server.
Is unlimited really unlimited? Read more
Stop Paying For Unused Resources in Cloud Hosting
If you're not careful about how you purchase hosting "in the cloud," you can end up paying a heavy price for the freedom of a scalable solution. ServInt's Jelastic Java and PHP cloud service is different. It autoscales, allowing you to only pay for what you use. It also allows you to purchase cloud resources in bulk, to achieve maximum savings — and it allows you to set scaling resource maximums, to make sure you never bust your budget during a traffic surge. Here's a video to show you how it all works:
Web Hosting for Non-Technical People: Designing a Website for Maximum Speed
The Internet is a seemingly miraculous place for small businesses. These days, there are all kinds of companies offering turn-key e-commerce site design and hosting solutions, all delivered — almost literally — at the push of a button. No design skill? No problem! No technical know-how? Who cares!
Of course, behind the scenes, things aren't that simple. Many of these turn-key solution providers deliver bloated, inefficient, insecure back-end designs and over-sold shared hosting to house your site when you're done. As a general rule, I advise my small business-owning friends to steer clear of the "design and host your e-commerce website for $9.99" companies, and do a little work on their own to build and host a site that works best for them.
I'm not saying every small business owner should code their own site from scratch. That would be silly. What I am saying is that — whether you build your site from scratch, or from a popular CMS like WordPress, or whether you hire somebody to build your site for you — you should make sure your site is designed as simply and intelligently (on the front and the back end) as you can. Why? Read more
"Going Big" With a Website, Part 3: Databases that Scale
Editor's Note: This week, we complete our guest series with Larry Ullman's third installment in his discussion about scaling a website. If you're just joining us, be sure to check out Part 1: Infrastructure that Scales and Part 2: Code that Scales.
As a web developer, writer, and public speaker, I often interact with people of various skill levels, talents, and interests. This is one of the joys of my career: I'm fortunate enough to bear witness to the thoughts and experiences of other programmers, "idea" people, and just plain dreamers.
One of the common topics that comes up, or that I am directly asked about, is how one "goes big" with a website. In this three-part series, I explain everything I believe and know (or think I know) when it comes to this subject. In Part 1, I covered the myths of going big, what infrastructure you'll eventually need, and how one should start developing a new project. In Part 2, I discussed how one writes code that can scale well should your site "go big". And here, in Part 3, I turn to designing databases that can handle the traffic of a "big" site.
Selecting a Database Application
The first step you'll need to take (from a database perspective) when designing any new site is choosing the right database application. MySQL has been the de facto king in this arena for some time, at least for beginners and in the open source community. This is largely still the case, even though:
- PostgreSQL is a fine alternative
– There are variations on MySQL, such as MariaDB
– Many excellent non-relational applications exist, like MongoDB
– There are non-database storage solutions such as Hadoop
Of the many goals I have for this series, getting into a debate as to the best database application to use is not one of them. Rightly or wrongly, there are other factors that go into the decision, including with which applications you are familiar, have access to, and so forth. For the sake of the rest of this article, I'm going to focus solely on MySQL, for two reasons:
- It's an extremely common choice.
- It's known to have scalability issues that some of the others (e.g., MongoDB) deliberately do not.

Liverpool defender Philipp Degen faces a new spell on the sidelines through injury.
The Swiss international has endured a nightmare start to his Anfield career due to a series of injuries following his arrival on a free transfer from Borussia Dortmund last summer.
The 24-year-old had only recently returned to fitness from a metatarsal injury he picked up in the Carling Cup defeat by Tottenham in November.
Degen sustained a new foot injury in last week's reserves clash with Manchester United.
Scans have revealed no break to the metatarsal, but the full-back still faces up to a month on the sidelines.

Imagine a world where transplant patients do not wait for a donor or where hearts are repaired through a simple injection. Or implants that "grow" or change function as a child develops or as the body requires.
Research that has the potential to change how we think about disease in general – and old age in particular – is happening at IBBME. Regenerative medicine uses cells, stem cells, and biomaterials to repair, replace, or regenerate damaged tissue and organ structures and function.
Tissue Engineering
Constructing devices, combining cells and biocompatible materials to effect tissue repair or replacement in the context of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cartilage and bone repair.
Stem Cell Bioengineering
Devising processes to control the differentiation and/or self-renewal of embryonic, mesenchymal and adult progenitor cells and understanding the underlying mechanisms of these processes
Creating new materials for tissue engineering and stem cell delivery as well as for other applications such as drug delivery, and understanding the molecular mechanisms of the host response to biomaterials and biomaterial-based devices.

CW CBS and Showtime 2012 Summer TCA Party Pictures
Rachel Bilson, AnnaLynne McCord, and More Celebrate TV With Cocktails
Rachel Bilson, AnnaLynne McCord, and Lucy Liu were among the actresses who stepped out for last night's CW, CBS, and Showtime 2012 Summer TCA Party at The Beverly Hilton Hotel. The ladies were out to support their TV shows Hart of Dixie, 90210, and CBS's new Sherlock-based Elementary, respectively. They were ready for cocktails and mingling after their network hosted panels touting the new seasons of their programs during the day. Lucy joined her leading man, Jonny Lee Miller, to explain how their version of Sherlock Holmes is different from Robert Downey Jr.'s big-screen franchise and the BBC's Sherlock. For starters, Lucy, a woman, plays Watson, Sherlock's sidekick.
Rachel, AnnaLynne, and Lucy made the rounds saying hi to Showtime stars Michael C. Hall, of Dexter, Episodes' Matt LeBlanc, and Don Cheadle from House of Lies. AnnaLynne's 90210 costars Jessica Lowndes and Matt Lanter were on hand, too. Rounding things out for the three networks were a handful of CBS leading ladies like Two Broke Girls's Beth Behrs and Kat Dennings. Click through to see even more stars, including Jaime King, Tyra Banks, Lisa Kudrow, and Katie Cassidy.

Smith Cameo Sunglasses
These are my favorite sunglasses ever! I bought a pair two years ago that my brother's dog chewed to bits and I saved my pennies until I had enough to purchase another pair, that's how much I like them; a lot, in other words.
Rachael Burks
like the shades a lot. They feel sturdy on your face too- you know how some sunnies you put on an they feel a little flimsy- these are built well, have a nice weight to them. Also, the lenses aren't too dark and I they look really good on most everybody. My only complaint is that when you put them on top of your head- your hair gets a little stuck in the folds? Other than that though they're great everyday sunglasses.
Review Title
I really love these shades, but I wish I had ponied up the extra $20 and purchased the polarized! The lenses are not dark enough and I find myself squinting quite often. Bummer. They are really cute, however, and I actually have a small-medium face, and they don't look ridiculously large. When you push them up to sit on top of your head, however, they do slide back down.
how big are they? thanks!

Summary: Contrary to the idea that the United States was liberal from its inception, Orren argues that both capitalism and constitutionalism proceeded upon a remnant of ancient feudalism. This was the common law of master and servant, embedded in the judiciary, cutting off the fundamental area of labor governance from democratic politics. The fully legislative polity that defines the modern liberal state was brought on through the industrial actions of trade unions in the lat ...show moree nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and was established with the institutions of collective bargaining under the New Deal. The book represents a reinterpertation of American political development and of the role of the labor movement as a creator of liberalism, not a spoiler of socialism. ...show less
