hsync in hadoop 2.0?
HDFS-744 adds support for true durable sync for DFSOutputStream.hsync().
This is useful for HBase (among others) and I created a matching patch in HBASE-5954. I would like to port this back into Hadoop 2.0 and maybe even 1.0. A 2.0 patch is already attached to HDFS-744. (The 1.0 patch would be quite different, but the underlying implementation would be the same) If I understand correctly Hadoop 2.0 is not out of alpha, yet. Thoughts? -- Lars |

DWS back in growth mode
PUBLISHED: 18 Feb 2014 05:33:49 | UPDATED: 18 Feb 2014 07:52:22PUBLISHED: 17 Feb 2014 PRINT EDITION: 18 Feb 2014Paul Smith
Lachlan Armstrong, the new chief executive of listed IT services player DWS Limited, has tipped investment in new data analytics, cloud computing and digital services as instrumental in improving the company's fortunes in the year ahead, after posting underwhelming half-yearly results on Monday.
DWS reported a 14 per cent drop in revenue to $47.9 million and a 19 per cent drop in net profit to $6.7 million. Mr Armstrong said clients cut spending due as business confidence dropped in the turmoil of a long federal election.
Business sentiment had improved in recent months and expected performance to improve as a result of investment in newer areas of the business. "We're back in growth mode, December results and January have been better than we expected. We have been looking at a new strategic plan for the business, based on global IT trends and where we see high growth areas, like business analytics, digital and we will be focused on building a strong cloud capability and mobility offering."
Mr Armstrong was announced as CEO in November, and starts on February 28, taking over from founder Danny Wallis, who will take on a non-executive chairman role.

Paneer stuffed Cauliflower Kofta Curry. I love koftas based gravies, and whenever we dine out I make it a point to order it as a side dish.
As hubby is not fond of it I dont order it often, now the fact that my lil one loves it and I've a company and have been ordering it often. The one I tasted recently in Annapurna Gowrishankar was a different white based gravy(with milk, cashew paste and cream) and I totally luved it, I will surely try to recreate it and post it. From the day I saw the cauliflower kofta curry in Raks Kitchen I wanted to try it. Oven Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Tempeh. We didn't eat Brussels sprouts growing up, but after moving back to the East Coast they quickly became one of my favorite seasonal vegetables.
I typically roast them in the oven which makes the outside crispy and brown, while the inside stays nice and tender. This time, I cooked the Brussels sprouts with tempeh (a soy product made from whole soybeans) and added a few cloves of garlic. Tempeh is a good source of protein and fiber and can be prepared in many ways. You can find it at most health food stores or grocery stores like Whole Foods.
I used a three grain variety but any type of tempeh would work just as fine.
Carrots. Alchemy in The Kitchen - Simple Ingredients, Magical Food: Sweetcorn and Feta Pies – Accidentally Vegetarian. I am becoming an accidental vegetarian.
While I cannot see myself giving up steak or bacon completely, there are so many meatless meals to be discovered. For me, a successful vegetarian dish is when I eat something that is so delicious that I don't notice the absence of meat. Baked Green Bean Fries with Roasted Garlic Dipping Sauce. Do you ever find yourself in one of those moments where you just have no idea what to do next and you find yourself unable to do anything at all?
That is exactly what happens to me when I am trying to plan meals for the week. Especially when I don't have a lot of time and I need to go to the grocery store. That was the scenario a few weeks ago. It was Sunday afternoon, and I was sitting on the couch with my hubby (He was watching baseball… I was not.) trying to come up with a meal plan so that I could run to the grocery store and get the shopping for the week out of the way. Sweet Chili Green Beans. Happy Friday everybody!
I'm so ready for the weekend (I've got to work Saturday morning, but it ain't no thang!). We've got a couples bridal shower to go to, so that should be fun. And then some major relaxation is in the works for Sunday and Monday! Now I used to think I had a favorite green bean recipe. I mean, it's all the rage on Food52, too.
Zucchini. Potatoes. Mixed. Beguni- Batter Fried Eggplants. Featured in the Delicious Links in The Kitchn.
Here we are waiting and praying for a few drop of rain. The earth is cracking in deep veins, dry and thirsty.The cool summer green has given way to patches of yellow and brown and an inexplicable stillness in the air. How to love Brussel Sprouts. I never grew up with brussel sprouts, I never had to endure a miserable soggy boiled sprout that was forced upon me, just so I could leave the table.
My sprout memories are good, in fact I have great sprout stories of crunchy, flavoursome, good looking sprouts that I can't get enough of. And for this reason, our sixth food fight was decided. Stir fried broccoli. 2 tbsp oil 1/4 tsp mustard seeds 2 cups of broccoli diced 2 tbsp onion chopped. Baked Eggs in Tomato Cups. I should really rename this post "Baked Eggs in Tomato Cups and Sometimes Being Spontaneous Is Not A Good Idea".
For some of you who may know, about a month ago I moved to the New England area to begin a new one-year fellowship. And, while I absolutely loved the material I was working with and learning about from 6:45 am to 5 pm at night, going home was not fun. Because, as I soon found out, my little 400 square-foot-ish apartment had a few unwelcome visitors…I had a mouse infestation. My two cats, Cosmo and Jinxie, quickly became mouse-killing machines, even taking up their "posts" diligently each night (Cosmo took the couch area, and Jinxie took the area near the stove). There were also several other major issues with this apartment as well, concerns about my safety (having people barge into your apartment unannounced can be a little unnerving to someone who lives alone) were at the top of the list.

Former Porn Star "Cameron Caine" Found in Florida Big Lots Parking Lot With a Crack Pipe and an Infant
According to the Orlando Sentinel, an officer arrived at the scene and knocked on the woman's front window. Though her eyes were open, she didn't immediately show any signs of responding to the knock. After the third knock, she stared at the officer for several seconds and then finally rolled down the window.
The officer noticed the woman was holding a glass pipe normally used for smoking crack cocaine. The woman struggled as the officer tried to confiscate the pipe, and she eventually threw it under the car.
She was later taken to the hospital for observation. Asked to give a urine sample, she provided only a cupful of warm water.
The officers also found the 15-day-old baby in the backseat. The child was unharmed and is now in the custody of his father.
Between 2002 and 2008, Kambic appeared in more than 80 videos, including Freshman Fuckfest and Young Ripe Mellons.
Kambic has had several prior arrests on drug charges, and for this incident she was charged with child neglect and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Miami Beach Resort Shooting Was Over Drugs, Not Hookers
Categories: Crime, Murder Miami Style
Despite CBS4's report that Roman Gubanov was shot by a pimp over a disagreement about hookers, he actually was shot by a drug dealer over a drug deal gone bad.
Police say Duran Reed and Turaine Burgers went to Gubanov and his friend's hotel room and opened fire. Reed was apparently trying to rip tourists off and attacked them with pepper spray. That accounts for the mysterious smell that caused the evacuation of more than 1,000 guests.
Gubanov died after a bullet hit his torso. Burges is in the medical ward with a gunshot of his own.
Where did CBS4 get its tip from? Did the reporters just figure that every shooting in Miami Beach is either about drugs or hookers and decide to take their chances? Sorry, bros -- it was drugs this time. Better luck next time.

Aladdin Light Lift was founded in 1990 to manufacture a patented motorized chandelier lift system to raise and lower chandeliers for cleaning and bulb changing. This innovative product was the original light lift system, and the first reasonably priced motorized system to be produced in the United States. The Aladdin system was rigorously tested by Underwriters Laboratories and is designed for years of trouble free operation. Currently, the Aladdin systems are marketed through prominent lighting showrooms throughout the United States and Canada. If you have high ceilings and want to maintain the luster of your chandelier, and avoid dangerously tall ladders or costly cleaning services, then Aladdin Light Lift has the answer for you. It is the safe and convenient companion for your chandelier.
The Aladdin Light Lift can be installed on standard ceilings. With the sloped ceiling adapter and remote mounting accessory, any model lift can also be installed on sloped and domed ceilings as well. The Aladdin Light Lift is neatly tucked away in the area above the ceiling, so there's no visible indication of the system. Installation by a licensed electrician is simple, since the system uses existing wiring. And, once in place,the chandelier can be installed at floor level safely and economically, eliminating the need for scaffolding. Aladdin Light Lift Inc. warrants its chandelier light lift units for one year from the date of purchase. |

On this page >> Write-up Results General Classification Photos Stage 8 Cremona (CR) individual time trial, 16,0km Ellen van Dijk (Specialized-lululemon) showed her Dutch TT champion colours on the road of Cremona to take the stage from team-mate, Evelyn Stevens. Australian champion, Shara Gillow (Orica-AIS) was in sixth place overall, tied on time with Marianne Vos (Rabo Women) at the start of the stage, Gillow's race against the clock afforded her a two spot jump on the general classification and a third on the stage. The Dutch time trial champion completed the Giro Rosa's final stage time trial 35 seconds faster than Stevens and 53 seconds faster than Gillow. Mara Abbott, Giro Rosa champion in 2011, added a second overall victory to her palmares today as her 23 minute 26 second effort against the clock kept her comfortably in the maglia rosa. While general classification runner-up Tatiana Guderzo (MCipollini Giordana) and third-placed Claudia Häusler (Team TIBCO), the 2009 Giro Rosa champion, both finished the time trial faster than Abbott, they finished 1minute 33 seconds and 2 minutes 18 seconds behind respectively overall to the American. Comments Mara Abbott (USA National Team) could not have been happier with her own performance, "I can finally say I managed to do it! Thanks goes to my team, the public and all those who believed in me," Abbott said after the podium presentations. "Now, I'll have an ice-cream, pack my stuff and fly back home where I'll celebrate with my family and friends. I'll be back to the Giro to try to be the best once again and to feel the warmth of the Italian fans." Tatiana Guderzo (MCipollini Giordana), the Italian time trial champion, was pleased with her Giro Rosa performance and is looking ahead to the Tuscany, Italy-hosted world championships later this season. "Like every Giro rider I was dreaming of taking the maglia rosa, but I am really satisfied with my final result," said Guderzo. "I also want to thank my teammates and race director Rivolta for their hard work. It was really a great Giro." Ellen van Dijk (Specialized Lululemon) rode with confidence in the Dutch colours, she dominated the flat 16km coure, "I was the favorite for this stage, but the end of a stage race is always unpredictable," said Van Dijk. "I'm so happy that I achieved my goal." Dave McPartland (Sport Director Orica-AIS) was a little dissappointed to not get a podium place overall but he was very satisfied with way the entire race was ridden, "I'm really happy with our race in the end," said McPartland. "Like I said from the start, we didn't come here for GC. We came here for stages. We didn't win any stages, but we come away with fourth overall. Sometimes that's the way it happens. You can go in fighting for the GC and walk away with stage wins and 15th overall or you can come in for stage wins but get an overall result. The Giro is funny like that." "I'm not surprised that Shara did so well," McPartland added. "She actually could have probably finished higher up if we had done a few things differently." The pan flat time trial course suited Gillow's strengths. The roads were wide and open with sweeping bends rather than angled corners. "One dodgy u-turn at a roundabout after 6km and a section of pavé in the last 300m were the only remotely difficult sections," noted McPartland. "It was not a technical circuit. Shara's strategy was to go fast. It was as simple as that to her. She was highly motivated to move up on the overall." Although ORICA-AIS missed out on the coveted stage victory, McPartland is proud of how his team raced the eight day Italian tour. "We gave it every effort to be on the front foot," McPartland said. "The second half of the race was probably a bit more restrictive than I had imagined. There weren't many stages that finished in breakaways. Once the Americans got the jersey, they seemed to want to keep the race together. They sort of panicked anytime anything went up the road - even if the move wasn't a threat to Abbott's lead. We had a crack every day. I can't ask for much more from them than that." Results - Top 10 - click here to see full result

Now that computer games have come to stay, tin toys have become obsolete for today's children. For those of us who remember them from times past, these tin toys can transport us back to our childhoods; they call up a vision of a time we thought we had already forgotten.
This book will be of special interest to anyone fascinated by early space travel and technology, those who simply want to wax nostalgic about a bygone era of their youth, and of course to collectors and fans of 50s and 60s tin toys.

Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC)
The university regards the use of animals in research and teaching to be an essential component for continued progress in the field of science and is committed to the highest ethical standard of animal care. Federal regulations mandate the establishment of an institutional animal care and use committee (IACUC) to provide guidance, to oversee the animal care and use program, and to ensure compliance with relevant laws, regulations, and policies.
In 1966 Public Law 89-544 first established standards for the care and use of research animals. Two federal agencies, the United States Department of Agriculture and the Public Health Service, require institutions using animals to appoint an IACUC and charge the IACUC with specific responsibilities. Committee members include scientists, non-scientists, and unaffiliated residents of the community. IACUC members review all requests for approval to use vertebrate animals. The IACUC also conducts inspections of all areas where animals are housed and used, reviews the institutional program for animal use, and reports its findings to the certifying agencies semi-annually.
The Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare (OLAW) governs the interpretation of the Public Health Service (PHS) policy on humane care and use of laboratory animals, supports educational programs, and monitors compliance with the Policy by assured institutions to ensure the humane care and use of animals in PHS-supported research. The UTC animal research facility has earned and maintains OLAW assurance certification, indicating compliance with PHS policies. The UTC assurance number is A4450-01.

Regional Identity and Vision for the Regional Economy
Developing a regional identity and vision for regional economic growth is critical to sustaining a globally competitive region. The vision is especially critical to driving new "regional" behavior and is the touchstone when a region faces challenges. This vision is also the driver for regional strategies and new investments, as well as alignment of current investments.

Hello i want to ask you simple question, do you plan on reducing rune page IP cost or have that on mind in a future to change? Either that or reduce cost on runes because some runes cost more than champion itself seriously it is just long grind... When you spend 6300 IP on rune page you need nearly 10k just to fill it, and when you include new champion to buy it is just a lot. Everybody needs rune pages if you reduce IP price to 4800 IP that would be really amazing. Cheers
I usually don't like posts that ask for cheap or free stuff. But you are right about this one. Rune pages should be cheaper
Pay to win game...a RP player will buy instant 7 rune page and an IP player will wait 1 year to buy 7 rune pages!
I was buying rune-pages at sales - 2 for 6300. But it's rare, like once a half year.
@Aquatylys : thats bs! You wont win because of your rune pages. So many guys in challenger just with 3 rune pages. Still feels expensive though
It would be awesome if they would do that
Pentasteal Sona
3 rune pages are enough. AP: 3 AP quint, 9xAP, 9xMres, 9xarmor AD: 3 lifesteal quint, 9xAD, 9xmres, 9xarmor Supp: 3xgp10 quint, 18xarmor, 9mres The rest you can compensate with masteries which you can have as much as you want. Now stop crying and especially stop buying every champ then getting a refund the next day and cry for more refunds.

It's an amazing work, the vision is just perfect, showing what might happen in the future. But, there's a downside to it, I'm afraid. Why fishes? It could be birds, or canines or any other creature. But why of all of them fishes? Anyways, beautiful and clear vision. 4 stars!
What stunned me most was how you created such an original thing. While most other 'the-end-of-the-world' and apocalypse art just shows pure destruction and all the lives being taken, this shows a few lives being saved. I love it for that. 5 stars to this amazing piece!
I could say the technique's perfect. I could say it. But, the left side of the bottom looks slightly too dark. I'm not exactly sure, but that's what I think. Other than that, all of it looks okay. 4.5 stars!
As for impact, I'd say it's pretty good, as this is likely the first time an apocalypse has been depicted this way, surprising most people, I suppose. So, 5 stars!

Stress and Food Allergies: What's Coming
I'm back! I've spent the last few months trying to get my health back on track and really focusing on where I want this blog to go. This has been and always will be a mom blog. And, as I mom, life gets in my way and I get distracted for a day or two on other things. Thanks for sticking with me!!
I'm going to start using video on this blog. Let me know what you think. Is this helpful for you instead of reading all of my rants? Listen to the video and I'll talk about what is coming up this week. We'll talk about stress and food allergies but the video will give you a glimpse into who I am and what has been going on with me.

I know that video blogging is a big trend right now, but I hope that you will continue to use text as well since the sound does not work on my computer and I enjoy reading your blog.

Robin.. LOVE the video blog! It's so good to put a face to the site. :) Stress and food allergies... yep.. there right now... in fact starting with a counselor today, as I just can't seem to deal lately. My biggest stress is the fact that I have to be the one on alert at all times, as no one else seems to get it. So I'm always "on"... and that's stressful! I can't seem to instill in my DH and inlaws how serious this can be.. ugh!

Robyn, it's good to have you back. I'm glad to hear you are healthy.
I myself wonder how the food allergies my daughter has affects me. I couldn't wait until school was out for summer this year, mostly because I needed a break from the constant vigilance (at school) and the stress. It does get exhausting.
The video is great, but there are times I cannot listen to something so I'm hoping you still do some write ups:) - June 21, 2010 at 12:44 PM
Video was great, thanks! FAAN's last newsletter talked about watching out for your child's stress turning into a clinical disorder (like OCD). As a clinical psychologist myself and a mom of a 21 month old with pnut and sesame allergies, I think that we cannot overlook the potential stress for us. I know that seeing a therapist weekly is helping me greatly keep things in perspective. We can't live all day thinking the worst MIGHT happen when the best amazing moments are taking place right in front of us...and we could miss them if we're too stuck on our worrisome thoughts. Good luck to all and BREATHE!!!
- June 21, 2010 at 7:14 PM
It was neat to put a live (sort of) face with your blog....however with three small children it took be about 2 hours to be able to listen to 6 minutes. Reading it is much easier for me...but I understand it's hard to always do that. On the stress subject: My hubby thinks I'm causing our child to be obsessive about his allergy (freaking out if he forgets and touches his face after he's been playing on a public playground or something, for example). I am a worrier for sure so my stress level just doubled when I found out that both of my boys have severe peanut allergy a couple of weeks ago.... :-(

Hi Robyn,
I think the video is a great addition to your blog. I also like reading the text. Glad to hear you are feeling better. Food allergies are very stressful. My daughter is allergic to most of the tree-nuts and peanuts. All my thoughts seem to revolve around food. It really can be consuming. I have a "radar" for "nuts". If I hear any talk of food, I'm thinking oh no, no nuts. We just went away this past week to Hershey. It was a short trip. But before I go, I first find out what restaurants and food places are on our way and check out menus. When you have food allergies, you can't really be spur of the moment. You always have to have safe snacks packed and know what safe food options are in the area. One thing that really gets to me is that I have to constantly remind some people we visit. I wish they would all "get it" and I wouldn't have to be the nut police when we go somewhere.
Linda - June 26, 2010 at 3:00 PM
Linda-I totally know what you mean...seems like every single time we visit family and friends (though we've told everyone countless times) there is always something with nuts in it... :-(

I liked seeing the video- I guess my one piece of advice would be to have a time limit on the videos for the busy moms (myself included).
Re:stress- I'm there right now- feeling very alone and in need of a support group- so far you're it (and a couple of other blogs I read and the peanut allergy forum, but that feels so impersonal most of the time.)
This allergy sucks. The responsibility of always having safe food on hand, ALWAYS reminding people as was already mentioned on here, never being able to eat out or just go to a friend's for dinner easily, the mind-bogglingness of cross contamination...
Stress levels are super high right now as I prepare for trip back to Canada from Japan with my sweet two year old p/a son (who is also allergic to eggs, hope I'm not underworrying about that one) and bringing seven guests to Canada for one week which means hotels and eating out in addition to the regular worry of staying with relatives who have no experience with food allergies and therefore want to leave everything to me :( Not to mention the flight over. Stress stress stress stress stress... - June 28, 2010 at 9:51 AM
Christelle-hang in there...you are not alone in this! :-)

Hi! I just found your blog! Yes my daughter has numerous life threating food allergries. We have found a new one every 6 months or so. I am just starting to blog about that aspect of our lives as well...
Hang in there. You can do it!! - July 12, 2010 at 11:52 AM
Thank you for having this blog. We have looked at it for a long time. My son, also Tyler, has tree nut allergies. He was able to try peanuts last year because his numbers were low enough and he has been doing great. He has been eating peanut items about 1-2 times every 2 weeks. He still doesn't like peanut butter (except for PotBellies Sandwich Co.) or Reese's PB cups, but he loves Whatchamacallits and Mr. Good Bars, so that is what he eats. I do like your blog. The video portion would be great if you were looking straight into the camera (and not down into it) and if you didn't say "um" all of the time. It is very hard to follow because of that. Tweek those two things and the video and keeping up on the writing would be awesome.

Poland squirms in the spotlight after clumsy arrest
Apprehending Akhmed Zakayev may have helped the Chechens and has shown a lack of consistency on Poland's part.
Appeared in print on 23.09.2010
Depending on how you look at it, Poland's arrest of Akhmed Zakayev was a shameful sign of the country's new-found dependence on Russia, a brilliantly choreographed mixture of realpolitik and principle, a typical Polish cock-up, or a wily plot to put the Chechen cause on the map.

If this pen were a movie, it would be…
Citizen Kane (1941)
Tim: 9 – I was happy to get my Classic just a few days after its release in late December 2013. I popped open the shipping envelope and out popped a neat little plastic box with a clamshell hinge and simple clasp. Inside is a dense foam insert with cutouts that hold the pen (with cap on,) a wrench and a little tube of silicone lube. There are 2 inserts floating around in the case with disassembly instructions. Another thoughtful touch is the diagram insert visible through the bottom of the case. It shows and lists all the pen parts, including numbers so you can tell how many parts there are without even taking the trouble to count them.
TWSBI specializes in thoughtful packaging- I use my 540 and 580 boxes to store spare parts and other odds-n-ends in my pen toolbox. Most of my pen coffins are just about useless beyond storing a single pen and a couple cartridges, and usually take up a ton of space while they're being useless. TWSBI takes a decidedly different approach, and I really appreciate it.
The Classic box trades in the flashy wow factor of the 580 and Vac700 packaging for something better- even more usefulness after the pen's out. With its hinge and sturdy clasp, the Classic box is perfect for holding various items once you remove the foam insert. It's too short to hold a regular pencil that hasn't been sharpened a buncha times, but there are tons of items you could put in there. I'll refrain from listing them all.
Even more thoughtful: if you elect to put the box away somewhere, it takes up very little space. Well done.
Dan: 6.5 – The packaging for the TWSBI Classic is far less extravagant than what came with the Diamond series pens. Tim covered all the details well, so I won't reiterate them.
Though, I will say there's definitely no wow factor involved with the presentation of the Classic but there is a lot of practicality. The plastic walls of the case are stiff and create a sturdy box that, when combined with the foam interior, should protect the contents against all manner of evils during transit. The clasp is also secure and I don't imagine it will accidentally pop open. Overall, the packaging is clean, simple, and functional. I'm sure it was cheap to manufacture which probably helped TWSBI hit their $50 price point.
Tim: 9 – The piston action on the Classic is smooth and easy. Maybe it's just because I couldn't see inside, but it seemed there was less play in the piston knob than I'm used to with the 580.
This is the smoothest and most refined-feeling piston I've used on a TWSBI and it rates up there with the best pistons I've used.
As far as ink capacity goes, it's hard to tell from looking at it how much the pen holds. My best experimentation put the effective volume of the Classic at about 1ml, maybe a touch less. My first fill of the pen lasted me almost a week, with the pen in heavy daily use writing wet, thick lines.
Dan: 8.5 – TWSBI has a reputation for making good piston fillers, especially for how cheap their pens are, comparatively speaking. The piston in the Classic is no different. It glides inside the barrel with just enough resistance to let you know you're moving something. Piston travel isn't quite as long as in the 540 (but it has the potential for the same amount of travel) and when combined with the smaller diameter of the barrel the resulting capacity is 1.0mL, compared to 1.7 for the 540 and 1.3 for the Mini. To put it into perspective, a standard international converter holds 0.8mL. While I would love to see a piston filled fountain pen hold significantly more ink than a cheap converter, it's still more than enough capacity for the majority of users.
Like TWSBI's other piston filling fountain pens, the Classic is fully compatible with their Diamond Ink Bottle. Simply remove the section, attach the pen to the filling nipple, and fill. Couldn't be easier or cleaner.
Tim: 7 – Capping and uncapping the Classic is a rather pleasant experience. One secures the cap to the pen with a single rotation. There is a satisfying sort of CLACK when the threads of the section touch the cap.
I was surprised to find the Classic will not post. More on that later.
The Classic slurped some ink and I set to writing. It started out pretty dry, but as the feed saturated it got better. My 1.1mm stub did what stubs do, smearing that ink around creating the thick and thin lines we stubhavers all love. All in all it was a nice test drive.
Dan: 7 – Becoming familiar with a new TWSBI is always a good time because I love to see how much they can deliver for $50. Glancing over the pen I was happy to see and feel a high quality writing instrument. The piston operated smoothly without sticking and I couldn't wait to ink it. Nib performance has always been an issue with TWSBI's pens and I was relieved when the fine nib in my Classic was smooth with slightly wet flow. It was about as perfect as I could ask for from a pen out of the box.
Tim: 8 – The Classic sports the same nib as the TWSBI Mini. As such it is not large at all, but looking at the pen uncapped, there's a very pleasing pattern, leading the eye from the step down from the barrel to the section, and then again from the section to the nib. A larger nib would spoil that effect and indeed would look out of place on the Classic.
When I first inked the Classic, and started to write, I half-composed a song lamenting the TWSBI pen, first gen, dry nib blues…. While that's a catchy title if I've ever written one, it's not quite appropriate. Out of the box I'd say the Classic warmed up to about a 5 on a wetness scale of 1-10, with ten being the very wettest.
The ink window of the Classic is a nice little feature, although it's not as useful as some other ink windows I've seen, and a major contrast to the all-ink window design of the 580. Narrow as it is, it's possible to tell that the pen is in fact inked. It is difficult to tell how much ink is actually in the pen until it's almost empty. It's also difficult to tell how thorough of a fill you may have achieved as the reservoir is mostly invisible. The Classic ink window reminds me of the Lamy 2000's in that its useful for telling if a pen is inked, empty, or nearly empty and that's it. Those are, however, three important things to know, so it is nice to have.
Dan: 8.5 – The TWSBI Classic comes with a stainless steel nib available in EF, F, M, B, or 1.1 stub sizes. The JoWo made nib is a #4 unit, the same size as that found in the 580 and Mini. If you can remove the nib and feed from the black plastic collar you can swap it for any nib from the other two pens. However, a simpler solution is to swap the entire nib/feed/collar unit.
This smaller size nib fits well with the thinner design of the Classic. The section is narrow and uniform in width and leads to a crystal clear ink window before arriving at the barrel threads. The transition from the section to the barrel includes a mild step that shouldn't bother most people and contains an o-ring that provides a positive seal between the cap and barrel.
Tim: 8 – The Classic does a decent job of laying down ink when you want it. I used my Classic while taking notes on a book I was reading- it would sit uncapped for a few minutes sometimes, and that is when I'd experience some hesitation getting rolling. My best use for the Classic will be for relatively uninterrupted writing.
When writing longer passages, the feed has no trouble getting the nib all the ink it needs. After some unintended but necessary tuning, I got my Classic writing very wetly (I'd say an 8 or 9 on the 10 is very wet scale) and the feed ably supplied a ton of ink- if the feed can handle the 1.1 stub with this volume of ink, I daresay it will perform as ably with any of the other nib widths you may want to try.
Dan: 7 – Given my past experiences with TWSBI pens I wasn't quite sure what to expect from the Classic. I was hoping for a great writer but I fully expected it to need some serious tuning. I can't tell you how delighted I was when I inked the Classic for the first time and discovered the fine nib was as smooth as any fine nib I've ever used!
Flow was also dialed in and while I initially thought it was right in between being wet or dry, the more I use it the more I think it's just a hair more dry than it is wet. It's certainly nothing to be concerned about. I prefer flow to be just a tad dry in my finer nibs as it allows the true width of the nib to show through. I can't stand EF or F nibs that are so wet that they write a size fatter than they really are. Some may not prefer the slightly drier flow, but it's far easier to increase flow on a dry nib than it is to decrease flow in a wet nib.
Inking the Classic was a problem free affair but I did notice the piston's stroke seemed a little short. I adjusted the piston unit to get a longer stroke (which I demonstrate in my disassembly video) and increased the filling capacity to around 1.1mL. TWSBI makes all their piston units in-house and this one was as smooth as any piston filler I've ever used.
The clip works well, keeping the pen from moving about without being too difficult to place with one hand. The cap threads on and off quickly with only one revolution and is not designed to post. I find it annoying that TWSBI completely removed the ability to post the cap on this pen. The Classic will suit users who prefer thin and light pens and I even found it comfortable for moderately long (~10 minute) writing sessions. I think the ability to post would make this pen more appealing to a larger user-base.
The takeaway here is that the nib performed exceptionally well, but you might have to deal with a few annoyances in other areas.
Tim: 7 – One thing I noticed, the conservative style of the Classic actually gets more attention than most of the fancier looking pens I sometimes carry around. When I whipped the Classic out at the bank and later at the greeting card store I got "nice pen" comments from perfect strangers. Not bad for a pretty unassuming looking black pen.
As I mentioned before, the lines and contours of the Classic are quite pleasing to the eye, with the cap on and off. One tiny quibble would be the business parts of the pen: the section threads. While they are attractively finished in a shiny chrome, it looks a little busy. I daresay a slip cap would have afforded the Classic an uncluttered transition from barrel to section and a look that was more, shall we say, classic. This is a minor issue, and only brought on by the name TWSBI chose for the pen. The issue of course disappears when the cap is on.
With the notable exception of the Mini, and possibly the Micarta, TWSBI seems to be an anti-posting kind of pen manufacturer. Sure, 'til now just about all their pens would post, but hardly comfortably. Initially I thought the Classic would be different.
Looking at the slender profile of the piston knob I thought to myself, this should post nicely, and perhaps deeply, and it's a good thing because it's not a particularly large pen. To my great surprise, the cap did indeed fit handily over the piston knob, but found no purchase on the rear of the barrel. It was not nearly as dramatic as a bayonet-stabbed note reading 'No Posting' found protruding from my front door, but I got the message.
As a result, I often found myself holding the cap in my right hand while writing with the Classic with my left. That is just goofy, and definitely my own fault, but in my mind a two-handed pen is just a few drams short of crazy. I generally prefer to take things as they come, without assigning expectations, but I'll just come out and say it: I wish the Classic would post. It's small enough to use posted, and the cap isn't the behemoth we're used to on our 580s and VAC700s- the pen would maintain decent balance.
Dan: 8 – The Classic's design features a slimmer profile that reminds me of pens from the '40s and '50s when pens weren't the size of baseball bats. The cross profile of the pen is similar to a squircle except the rounded edges don't transition as seamlessly into the flat sides. The pen is the widest near the cap band and tapers slightly to each end of the pen.
For the first time, TWSBI has integrated an ink window into one of their pens. It's a useful feature that's part of the section and is only visible with the cap removed, keeping the exterior lines nice and clean.
As Tim mentioned, I too wish the cap would post. I have no issue with TWSBI intending for the user to not use the pen posted, like on 580. But, let me make that decision instead of designing the possibility out of the pen.
Tim: 8.5 – The Classic looks great. Its chrome-finished plastic parts are easily mistaken for metal until you look at the threads with a loupe. Especially well-executed is the exterior of the cap band that also houses the cap threads- it has the look of a machined and highly polished piece of metal.
The resin body has a deep luster, with no signs of manufacture at all.
From arm's length the pen looks flawless. Up close and louped-up the only rough spots are the section threads, so overall the Classic gets high marks for detailing.
Dan: 6.5 – The resin cap and barrel is finished with a smooth, glossy finish that is contrasted with shiny chrome hardware. I didn't notice any imperfections even when examining the pen with a 10X loupe.
However, the fit of some of the parts left a little to be desired. There was a small gap between the piston knob and the barrel when the knob was fully closed. While the gap didn't affect the functionality of the pen, it was rather unsightly. The gap was the result of the black plastic piece inside the chrome knob not being inserted far enough into the knob. The fix was fairly simple, but shouldn't have been necessary.
The rest of the pen was properly assembled with each piece fitting tightly. The end result is a solid feeling pen.
Tim: 8.5 – For my road trip I settled in with my Classic inked up with Diamine Eclipse and sat with some nice lined Sustainable Earth Bagasse paper and a passage from Nassim Taleb's Fooled by Randomness. I had a great time.
One thing I noticed after about 3 minutes of writing was that I was indeed holding the cap in my right hand. Doh! I put it down and got back to work. My Classic wrote with a nice wet line through the entire road trip: exactly Zero hard starts, hesitations or dry spells.
My hand started to feel a little fatigued about a third of the way through. A quick shakeout and a chair height adjustment and I was back at it. I ended up doing one more shakeout during the course of the road trip. When my timer beeped I quickly shut it off and went back to finish with the passage I was copying.
Dan: 7.75 – For the Road Trip, I decided to switch ink and fill the Classic with Sailor Bung Box Sapphire. I then grabbed a few sheets of Rhodia, Whitelines, and a scrap of Tomoe River paper. The pen performed flawlessly across all three types of paper and flow was now slightly more wet thanks to the different ink.
Flow was consistent and I never experienced any hard starts, skips, or other writing issues. I really enjoyed writing with the Classic but it's not a pen I'd select for journaling or letter writing. The Classic is just a bit too thin to be comfortable for me when the writing session gets beyond 10 minutes. If I needed a reliable pen that could disappear in a pocket, the Classic would be a great choice, as long as I wasn't going to be doing a lot of writing.

Famous Last Words:
Tim: The Classic is a really nice piece of work from TWSBI. Its conservative styling adds another dimension to the TWSBI product line and it's going to be a very good fit for many people who think transparent pens are weird. I'd say this pen is a no-brainer for a lover of conservative pen styles who doesn't post their pens. If you absolutely must post when you use a pen, then the Classic isn't for you. That's the only possible deal breaker I can see here.
The Classic is a solid value at $50. It's well made and works like a fountain pen should. It compares very well with pens in its price range with one notable exception. Inasmuch as it's smaller overall, has a smaller nib, smaller ink capacity and won't post, I think the 580 is a better value than the Classic, and also overall a better pen. That said, you will have a hard time finding a value comparable to the Classic outside the TWSBI line.
Dan: I'm always excited to receive a new TWSBI because I like to see how much they can deliver for their diminutive price tag. The Classic didn't disappoint, but it also didn't blow me away. Maybe it's because after they've shattered my expectations so many times before (530/540/580, Vac700, and Micarta) I'm now desensitized to the effect and expect more.
The Classic still manages to deliver quality and features that you'd usually have to spend $100+ to receive. While the Classic's size and shape won't be comfortable for everyone, it does offer an alternative for those not interested in demonstrators or for someone who wants a thinner, lighter pen. The Classic is a well made and reliable fountain pen that compliments TWSBI's product line. It fills in a small gap that makes the brand even more attractive to new fountain pen users or those who don't have a budget for more expensive pens.

In this application note, the Irbesartan USP method is used as an example when transferring an HPLC method from one column dimension to another, from one sorbent particle size to another, or from one type of HPLC instrumentation to another. Four different conditions were evaluated, two within allowed changes, and two that would require complete revalidation (using a too short column, with too small particle size and not scaling the linear velocity accordingly).
