80 Million Links a Day Don't Lie: Fast Company interview!
Posted: November 6, 2011 | Author: Hilary Mason | Filed under: Media | Tags: fast company, interview, video | 2 Comments »Fast Company came to our office to film a short interview with me. If you've been following bitly closely there won't be any surprises for you here, but I did get to talk about some of the exciting projects that we're working on.
The best part about filming the interview was getting back to my computer after, where my clever co-workers had been silently answering the questions along with me in our chat room — with a lot more snark.

I'm in Glamour Magazine!
Posted: October 10, 2011 | Author: Hilary Mason | Filed under: Media | Tags: glamour, magazines, media, press, womenintech | 14 Comments »This is probably the least likely thing you would expect to appear on this site, but it's true! I appear in the November 2011 issue of Glamour alongside Jess Lee, Caterina Fake, and Stacy Brown-Philpot, in a story by Kara Swisher. There will also be a panel event tomorrow morning to talk about the article.
I don't usually speak publicly about the women in tech issue, for a variety of reasons, primarily: if I'm speaking about women in technology I am not speaking about technology, it's not a topic that I have much insight on, it ignores the other dimensions of the problem, and I would really rather work hard and be known as a great technologist than a great woman technologist.
The opportunity to reach out to Glamour's audience of millions of teenage girls to make math and technology look cool was just too good to pass up!
That's why I'm proud to appear among such pieces as "Guys talk sex!", "The Real Kristen Stewart: A Twilight Exclusive", and "12 Ways to Get Your Sh*t Together". It's exciting to think that people who never would have picked up an article about a bunch of nerds will be reading and thinking and being inspired.
If you found your way to my site via this article, please let me know what you think, either by commenting here or sending me an e-mail.
PS. I don't know why I'm blonde in the photo, but it's not entirely unnatural.

NPR: Interview on Science Friday
Posted: February 7, 2011 | Author: hilary | Filed under: blog, Media | 3 Comments »On Friday, January 28th I hopped in a cab and went up to NPR's Bryant Park recording studio for a fifteen minute chat with Ira Flatow, host of Science Friday. I've been a big fan of Ira and Science Friday since I discovered the show years ago, and it was a very exciting honor to be a guest.
The image at the right is a snapshot I took with my phone while nervously waiting outside the studio.
The title of the segment is the rather dramatic Privacy At Stake As Sites Track Online Preferences. Our conversation wound around the issues of tracking user data online, and the potential opportunities and dangers that all users of online services face.
NPR has the full broadcast and transcript online.
By far the most fun and unexpected aspect of this was the number of people who wrote to me to ask questions or say that they appreciated my perspective. Many of them don't typically follow technology news or startups, and it's exciting to hear from people who heard the interview and were intrigued.

RE: BatchWriter performance on 1.4
I was using flush() after sending a bunch of mutations to the batchwriters to limit their latency. I thought it would normally flush the buffer to ensure that the maxLatency is not violated. If the maxLatency is quite large, how do I ensure that it doesn't wait a long time before writing?
If the returned batchscanners are all thread safe, then I'm still going to have the bottleneck of their synchronized addMutations method, correct? I'm looking for "org.apache.accumulo.client.impl" in the log4j.properties, generic_logger.xml the and other config files, but can't locate it. Do I need to create a new entry for it there?

It appears like what I would want. As for the proper usage... Would I create one using the Connector, then .getBatchWriter() for each of the tables I'm interested in, add data to each of BatchWriters returned, yes. and then hit flush() when I want to write all of that to get written? Why are you calling flush() ? Doing this frequently will increase rpc overhead and lower throughput. Would the individual batch writers spawned by the multiTableBatchWriter still have synchronized addMutations() methods so I would have to worry about blocking still, or would that all happen at the flush() method? The returned batch writers are thread safe. They all add to the same queue/buffer in a synchronized manner. Calling flush() on any of the batch writers returned from getBatchWriter() will block the others.

The show opens on a guard who has come to check on Marnie. She catches a vampire about to bite Marnie, or so she thinks. She's not much of a guard; she doesn't pull the trigger when a vampire goes super fast towards her, which only solidifies the idea that guns with silver bullets are useless. The vampire, who is under the control of Marnie, kills the guard, and Marnie walks out, leaving a message for Bill that the crazy spanish woman who made them all walk in the sunlight has returned.
Surprise! Not.
Pam is taking her revenge on Tara when a crowd of tourists show up and record her strangling the life out of Tara. Of course, she's forced to stop strangling the girl. It's lucky for Pam that all of the vampires are about to be zombies, because once they start doing crazy things, hopefully Bill will look the other way and not kill her like he did the last vampire caught on video. I've said this before, but I'm serious: if they kill Pam off, I'm not watching this show anymore.
Jesus has a near death experience, but the ghost of his uncle comes to save him. Apparently, his grandfather went through all that trouble just to prove to Lafayette that he's a medium and he has "the magic." Oh, yeah, isn't that what Jesus has been telling him from the beginning? My only question is this: if Lafayette was that annoyed by all this magic in his life, wouldn't he have, you know, not walked straight into good old grandpa's house after he saw him in that drug-induced vision last season? Anyway, apparently Lafayette is able to communicate with the dead. He's a medium. So, somehow, this is going to have to do with stopping Antonia. I just know it.
Alcide and Debbie join a new pack. Alcide is so anxious about leaving Sookie alone in the woods on a full moon that he convinces Debbie to go look for her. They walk up on Eric and Sookie doing it on the forest floor. The only problem I have with this is how does Eric not sense them behind him? I understand he's in the middle of getting it on, but he's got vamp senses, and if you could smell/hear two weres coming up behind you, wouldn't you want to know what they were doing? Especially if, say, they meant harm to you or the woman you care so much about?
That vamp who is being controlled by Marnie comes and shoots Bill. I'm assuming it's a silver bullet. Bill kills him, but not before he finds out that the witch, Antonia, has been resurrected. Surprisingly, when we see him next with Jessica, he doesn't look like he was shot with silver at all. And is anyone else a little annoyed the writers made Bill explain the entire plot to Jessica? I mean, we've been watching it. We could just assume that Bill has caught her up to speed and just explain the part that has just happened.
Tara tells the girlfriend to go. Is it a shame that I care so little about this chick I don't even know her name? She's an idiot. Let's be honest, how many of us would stick around with a girl who we know is going to be murdered by a vampire and that we will be murdered if we are around for it? I'm not saying she doesn't have feelings for Tara, but no amount of love for a girlfriend I haven't had that long would keep me around. Of course, if I were Tara, I'd run for it. Change my identity and get the heck out of dodge. Pam doesn't even know the girlfriend, so if they kept on the run, they couldn't probably get away with their lives for a good long time. In theory.
We get a pretty long montage of Sookie and Eric sleeping together, and then we get Eric's explanation of the plot line, just in case we were too dumb to have caught that Eric wouldn't be the same with his memories. Bill shows up to warn them about the witch, which is pretty good of him. I know some people are torn on whether or not Bill is a good guy, but this does solidify it. He will do whatever it takes to save all of his subjects from Antonia.
Marnie/Antonia confronts Tara and convinces her to help exact revenge against the vampires. If anyone wanted to exact revenge, it's Tara, so, of course, she agrees. Tara starts trying to convince a bunch of witches to make a circle big enough and strong enough to bring all the vampires on earth out into the sunlight. Only problem is they look like they are just hippies, not like they can actually use magic. It probably doesn't matter. Marnie/Antonia can probably just pull power from them regardless of whether or not they can actually use magic. You'd think Antonia would spend her time trying to find powerful witches, if this plot line was going to make more sense.
So why are the vampires silvering themselves to the beds? Wouldn't it make sense to just silver them inside the room? You know, in a coffin wrapped in silver so they can't get out? You wrap the coffin in silver so they can't get out and bar the doors with silver. Silver is supposed to be debilitating. They shouldn't be able to just move around it. I could understand Eric, who is a very old vampire, doing something like that. But Jessica? Even if she wasn't AS silvered as Bill, she still is a very young vampire. This doesn't make a whole lot of sense. What a stupid way to incorporate this idea. And why did Pam even bother with the shots just to put a silver blanket on herself? What a waste of time, pain and money, when the silver is just going to singe all her skin off. I hate that the writers seem to put less and less thought into this whole story. Wouldn't you, as a vampire, warn your human guards NOT to look a vampire in the eye , in case they tried to glamour you, or to get too close to the cell in case a vampire reaches through? Bill's got some of the stupidest guards on the planet.
At least we get this sweet conversation between Bill and Jessica. I like their relationship. Bill does his best to teach her that she is not a monster and that they can't be awful to humans and not expect the humans to retaliate.
Sam calls the girlfriend and is confused when she doesn't want to see him. He figured out that Tommy was a skinwalker pretty quick. Unbelievably quick. I would almost feel sorry for Tommy if he hadn't been too stupid to NOT pretend to be Sam in the first place. I understand he was excited about the ability, but if you're going to parade as someone else, at least act the way they would act, instead of making them out to be some kind of jerk that they aren't.
Andy Bellefluer seems to be trying to get straight to date that waitress. Lafayette see the ghost that seems to be following baby Mikey around. She's seems sweet. I want him to talk to her, find out what's going on with her. Who is she? Is she attached to that doll, or to the baby?
The writers have given us another chance to see Alcide undressed. Debbie is all weepy because she's afraid that Alcide is in love with Sookie. Is she weepy because she's just upset that Alcide might leave her? Is it coming down off the drugs that's making her cry? She asks "Why am I feeling this way" and cries in a really strange way, which makes me think crying for her is unusual. Is she pregnant? That makes any girl irrational and weepy. How cute would a little wolf baby be?
Marnie gives a big speech to get them all excited to kill the vampires. She says human spirits are immortal but vampires aren't? Really? Because all vampires were humans once, and a lot of them were turned against their will. What happened to their spirits? I guess that doesn't matter. They start the circle, and it apparently starts to work. It works so well that wind picks up all over town, even underground, and the vampires all try to fight the silver holding them down.
The episode ends with Jessica stepping out into the sun. Jason was rushing to save her, but he gets stopped by a guard. That's better for him, though, because under such powerful magic, Jessica would have killed him if he tried to stop her. So, do you think the writers are going to save her in the next episode? I hope they don't. Not because I don't like Jessica, but because sometimes you have to kill characters off, even when you don't want to. I think they did a good job of it, too. She had a good heart-to-heart with Bill and got to tell him that becoming a vampire had changed her life for the better. It was a good ending for her. I hope they don't mess it up by saving her the next episode, but that's just me.

Manga Page Updates
Posted in Manga News on February 19, 2007 by JohannaLots and lots of good series have updated recently!
- Aishiteruze Baby book 6 shows young man Kippei facing new challenges in taking care of his little cousin when she gets sick.
- Nana seems to take a huge leap forward in book 5, or maybe it's just me, but the drama and characterization is deeper and more involving than ever.
- In Tramps Like Us book 11, the characters are preparing to move on with their lives, even if they don't really want to. Getting engaged requires changes, and doubts come with the territory, but sometimes they have real basis behind them.
- Sensual Phrase concludes with book 18, a collection of short stories by the author that includes a couple of flash-forwards about the series characters. I will miss it so! It's a wonderful sexy soap opera set in the music business.

Is Tampa Bay Ready for the Big Leagues?
The Tampa Bay Rays hung on in this improbable season to squeak into the baseball playoffs. Their first playoff home game at Tropicana Field sold out. But it's been a hard sell to fill the Trop with fans this year. Across the bay, the Buccaneers have had only one sold-out game in the past year - and that was for a Monday night game. Which leads to the question: Is Tampa Bay a big-time sports town?

The parasite triggers watery diarrhea, nausea, bloating and cramping. Hide Caption 3 of 18Photos: Worst food-borne illness outbreaks 18 photosFrozen berries – A hepatitis A outbreak was attributed to Townsend Farms Organic Antioxidant Blend frozen berries in September 2013. A total of 162 cases were reported, and 71 people were hospitalized, according to the CDC. Severe hepatitis cases can cause liver damage. The blend's pomegranate seeds came from a company in Turkey, which was the source of contamination.Hide Caption 4 of 18Photos: Worst food-borne illness outbreaks 18 photosCantaloupe – Cantaloupes tainted with salmonella infected more than 260 people across 24 states in October 2012. Three people in Kentucky died and 94 were hospitalized. Investigators determined Chamberlain Farms Produce Inc. of Owensville, Indiana, was the source of this outbreak. Hide Caption 5 of 18Photos: Worst food-borne illness outbreaks 18 photosTuna – Salmonella in a frozen raw yellowfin tuna product, known as Nakaochi Scrape, sickened 425 people and hospitalized 55 in the spring and summer of 2012. The product was used most often to make "spicy tuna" sushi, according to the CDC. Hide Caption 6 of 18Photos: Worst food-borne illness outbreaks 18 photosRicotta cheese – Twenty-two cases were reported of a Listeria monocytogenes infection from the Frescolina Marte brand of ricotta salata cheese in 2012, but 90% of those people were hospitalized, and four people died, according to the CDC.Hide Caption 7 of 18Photos: Worst food-borne illness outbreaks 18 photosCantaloupe – In September 2011, listeria in cantaloupes left 30 people dead in what was the deadliest U.S. outbreak of a food borne illness since the CDC started keeping track of listeria cases in 1973, according to the agency. Hide Caption 8 of 18Photos: Worst food-borne illness outbreaks 18 photosGround turkey – Between February and August 2011, the Cargill Meat Solutions Corp. recalled more than 36 million pounds of ground turkey after tests revealed a strain of salmonella. The outbreak killed one person and sickened more than 130. Hide Caption 9 of 18Photos: Worst food-borne illness outbreaks 18 photosEggs – In summer 2010, more than 1,900 people were reportedly sickened by salmonella found in eggs produced by Iowa's Hillandale Farms, which voluntarily recalled about a half-billion eggs nationwide.Hide Caption 10 of 18Photos: Worst food-borne illness outbreaks 18 photosCelery – Authorities shut down a processing plant in Texas in October 2010 after four deaths were tied to listeria-infected celery produced at the site. The Texas Department of State Health Services ordered SanGar Fresh Cut Produce to recall all products shipped from its San Antonio plant. Hide Caption 11 of 18Photos: Worst food-borne illness outbreaks 18 photosPeppers – Between April and August 2008, 1,442 people in 43 states were infected with salmonella from Mexico-grown jalapeño and serrano peppers. At least 300 people were hospitalized, and the infection may have contributed to two deaths, according to the CDC. Walmart stores in four states recalled jars of serrano peppers as a result. Hide Caption 12 of 18Photos: Worst food-borne illness outbreaks 18 photosPeanut butter – Nine people died from salmonella-infected peanut butter between September 2008 and April 2009. The Peanut Corp. of America had sold the tainted peanut butter in bulk to King Nut, which recalled its products. More than 700 people were infected and 166 hospitalized. Hide Caption 13 of 18Photos: Worst food-borne illness outbreaks 18 photosSpinach – In the summer of 2006, more than 200 people became infected with E. coli from spinach grown on a single California field. Investigators traced the prepackaged spinach back to Natural Selection Foods and baby spinach sold under the Dole brand name. Five deaths were linked to the outbreak. Hide Caption 14 of 18Photos: Worst food-borne illness outbreaks 18 photosTomatoes – During 2005 and 2006, four large outbreaks of salmonella infections hit 21 states in the United States. Tainted tomatoes being served in restaurants were found to be the cause. Investigators linked the produce to fields in Florida, Ohio and Virginia.Hide Caption 15 of 18Photos: Worst food-borne illness outbreaks 18 photosRoma tomatoes – Pre-sliced Roma tomatoes purchased at deli counters in Sheetz gas stations infected more than 400 people in the summer of 2004. Two other smaller outbreaks in the United States and Canada also occurred that summer and were linked back to a tomato-packing house in Florida. Hide Caption 16 of 18Photos: Worst food-borne illness outbreaks 18 photosDeli meats – Listeria-infected sliced turkey killed eight and infected 46 others in 2002. Three pregnant women had fetal deaths. Two processing plants recalled 30 million pounds of meat following the outbreak. Hide Caption 17 of 18Photos: Worst food-borne illness outbreaks 18 photosCantaloupe – In 2001, cantaloupe was again the culprit. Salmonella tainted the fruit that killed two, hospitalized nine and infected 50 in an outbreak that started in Mexico. Hide Caption 18 of 18EXPAND GALLERYPreliminary investigations indicate the likely source of this outbreak are raw clover sprouts produced by Evergreen Fresh Sprouts LLC of Idaho, the CDC said. The state departments of health in Washington and Idaho are telling consumers not to eat raw clover sprouts produced by Evergreen Fresh Sprouts.Meanwhile, hummus and dip products totaling about 14,860 pounds are being voluntarily recalled by Lansal Inc. amid concerns about possible bacterial contamination. At the same time, Sherman Produce is recalling some bulk and packaged walnuts sold to retailers in Missouri and Illinois. These two recalls are precautionary measures against possible Listeria monocytogenes, which may cause serious and even fatal infections in people with weakened immune systems, such as the elderly. No illnesses have been reported in connection with either recall, the respective companies said. Both companies advise consumers who bought the recalled products to throw them out or return them for a full refund. The products should not be eaten. Also this week, the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service said 1.8 million pounds of ground beef products were being recalled because they could be contaminated with a strain of E.coli. Consequences of food-borne bacteriaEscherichia coli is a large group of bacteria; most are harmless, while some can cause serious illness. The strain involved in the sprout-linked outbreak is Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O121.E. coli infection can lead to severe diarrhea, abdominal pain and vomiting, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Most people recover within seven days, but some have severe complications, the CDC said. A type of kidney failure called hemolytic-uremic syndrome may result; the elderly and children under 5 are most at risk. Most listeria infections may not be noticed because the symptoms are mild, according to the Mayo Clinic.Symptoms of a listeria infection in an otherwise healthy person include fever, muscle aches, stiff neck, headache, loss of balance and convulsions, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Diarrhea or other gastrointestinal problems may occur before these symptoms.Pregnant women infected with listeria may suffer miscarriages, premature delivery or stillbirths. The newborn may have a serious infection if the mother has been sick with it.Why sprouts?Evergreen Fresh Sprouts was also involved in a 2011 salmonella outbreak. Consumers then were discouraged from eating the brand's alfalfa sprouts and spicy sprouts.

According to a study commissioned by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the warm, moist conditions that are conducive to growing bumper crops of sprouts are also an ideal breeding ground for bacteria. In the study, Kevin Allen, a microbiology professor at the University of British Columbia, tested 44 samples of prepackaged sprouts (as well as 48 samples of leafy greens and 58 samples of various herbs) and found, "Over 78% of sprouts had levels of microorganisms too numerous to count." Why sprouts make you sickHummus and dipsIn the case of Lansal, the Texas Department of Health identified the potential for listeria contamination while routinely testing a Target Archer Farms Traditional Hummus product. "Lansal Inc. is voluntarily recalling all products manufactured at the same facility and distributed to both wholesalers and retailers during the same time," the company said. See a list of recalled productsIncluded in this recall are some Target Archer Farms hummus products nationwide. Certain Giant Eagle hummus products in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio and Maryland are also affected. Trader Joe's 5 Layered Dip, both large and small, with a use-by date of April 15 is being recalled in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio and Wisconsin. The 8-ounce container of Trader Joe's Edamame Hummus is recalled in 17 states with use-by dates of April 28, April 29 and May 9. Some plastic containers of Tryst Yellow Lentil Hummus with Sunflower Seeds & Apricots are also affected. "Lansal Inc. has contacted all impacted retail customers and distributors instructing them to remove all affected product from sale and is working with the appropriate agencies including state departments of health, the Food and Drug Administration and local authorities," the company said. The Lansal consumer question line is 877-550-0694. WalnutsSherman Produce said it was recalling "241 cases of bulk walnuts packaged in 25 lb bulk cardboard boxes and Schnucks brand 10 oz trays with UPC 00338390032 with best by dates 03/15 and 04/15." An FDA sampling detected Listeria monocytogenes in walnuts at the facility. Sherman Produce can be reached for questions at 314-231-2896.

With the development of cell-based assays and therapies, the purity of reagents used to grow and maintain cells has become much more important. In particular, the use of fetal calf serum for culturing cells presents a direct path for potential contamination of cell cultures. In recent years, much research has focused on the development of serum-free culturing systems, not only to alleviate difficulties due to availability and cost of fetal calf serum but also to prevent the transmission of potentially fatal diseases to human patients. Additionally, methods need to be developed for long-term storage of cell stocks that also reduce the risk of exposure to harmful diseases. As most methods employ fetal calf serum in their freezing formulations, solutions that avoid the use of fetal calf serum while providing equivalent or better recovery of cells upon thawing would be ideal. In this study, two vascular cell lines have been cryopreserved as adherent cell populations in two widely used cryoprotectants, dimethyl sulfoxide and 1,2-propanediol, and two vehicle solutions, Euro-Collins and Unisol-cryoprotectant vehicle specifically formulated for the maintenance of cell homeostasis at temperatures below 37° C. The addition of serum to these formulations was also evaluated to determine if its presence provided any additional benefit to the cells during cryopreservation. The results demonstrated that using vehicle solutions designed for lower temperatures produced viable cells that retained cell population viability values up to 75% of unfrozen controls. These results also demonstrated that including serum in the formulation provided no additional benefit to the cells and in some cases actually produced lower cell viability after cryopreservation. In conclusion, the development of solutions designed for low-temperature storage of cells provides a viable alternative to more conventional cryopreservation protocols and eliminates the necessity of including serum in these formulations.

So far critics have been fairly well-behaved in their analyses of the Manson attack, though now that the entire CD is available everywhere -- even Oklahoma! -- the cretins should be crawling out of their holes any minute. The protectors of our children, the families of various victims, the people who throw the rocks in Shirley Jackson's short story -- Mr. Manson and his familial cohorts are prepared for the worst.
The Mansons are young, mostly mid-twenties, so one has to wonder how Mr. Manson and his bandmates will view their work 30 years from now. "I'm kind of looking forward to being a parent," Mr. M offers. "I'd like to approach it differently than people do in the Nineties. If you tell kids the truth right off the bat, they'll be able to make up their minds for themselves and realize what will hurt them and what won't. I'd tell them, 'Don't have sex because you could get pregnant and get a disease' instead of saying, 'Sex is wrong and you'll go to hell.'
"It's the same with drugs or anything else. Another debate we get into is people ask me if we're adding to the dilemma for kids, because kids communicate through music, and we have a strong message. I say I'm trying to let kids take on the responsibility of being a better listener, to be able to interpret things on an intelligent level. We should raise kids so they can listen to [Body Count's]'Cop Killer' or our stuff and be able to not kill themselves or kill someone else. Unless that's what they want to do. Then they have to take the responsibility.

Game of Thrones – Season 2 Episode 5: Recap
All men must die
Disclaimer: This is a recap of the fifth episode of Game of Thrones Season Two, and contains spoilers about the episode. Read only if you've already seen the episode, or care not about taking the train to spoiler town.
Title | Game of Thrones - Season Two, Episode 5 |
Studio | HBO |
Director | Alik Sakharov |
Starring | Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, Etc. |
Genre | Fantasy |
Rating | TV-MA |
Release Year | 2012 |
If there's one thing that has always been clear in game of thrones, it's that death can come at any time, for any reason, to anyone. But even if they're gone, their ghosts linger on, affecting events and people long after.
The major death in this episode (it's not too hard to see coming if you were following along in the last episode) is that of Renly Baratheon. The youngest of the Baratheon brothers, Stannis plotted his death with his priestess Melisandre, who literally gave birth to the would-be king's destruction. Since Renly was one of the five kings, his death will have a huge effect – it was already within the episode. Catelyn and Brienne of Tarth were in Renly's tent at the time of his death, effectively killing the negotiations Cat was trying to secure for Robb, and ending Brienne's career as a knight permanently. And the Tyrells now seem to be out of the game, since they bet on the wrong horse – though Loras swears revenge, Margaery is more pragmatic and looks to be making a deal with Littlefinger to secure herself the title of "THE Queen".
Renly's death is even felt in King's Landing. Tyrion attempts to caution Cersei's actions, as she is ecstatic over the demise of one of the pretenders to her son's throne; of course, in this particular scene, she acts a bit more like it's her throne, not Joffrey's. She's drinking, and I couldn't help but be reminded of Robert, her late husband. When the weight of ruling got to him, he turned to drink in order to drown his anxieties. Cersei is obviously finding this to be a very effective balm, especially since Tyrion hit her with the news of Myrcella's pending engagement to Dorne. For all of her faults, Cersei does seem to be a devoted mother, but that isn't going to help her when it comes to ruling.
Tyrion quickly finds out that the people are growing discontented with the rulers, including him, even as he does his best to ferret out the tumors of the ruling class and aide the poor. He soon discovers that Cersei had been stocking up on wildfire, a combustible substance that is so corrosive that it will even eat through flesh, in order to battle Stannis' growing fleet of ships. Now that he has Renly's banner men, Stannis is a bigger threat than ever – something that evidentially convinces Tyrion that the seven thousand plus pots of wildfire stored underneath King's Landing and thus posing a huge problem for the city itself is a worthwhile evil to keep around in case of an impending nautical attack.
Perhaps the best example of deaths in this episode concern Arya and her new friend, Jaqen H'ghar, one of the men she saved from being burned to death earlier in the season. Jaqen, who presumably follows Melisandre's R'hllor since he refers to a Red God, promises Arya that he will repay her kindness toward him and his fellows by killing three men of her choice. We all know, from her chanting in earlier episodes, that Arya has quite a long list of people she wants dead – so how will she choose? Quite possibly she doesn't really believe Jaqen when he says that he will assassinate people, so she somewhat flippantly tells him to kill the man who's been torturing everyone under the Mountain's orders. Much to her shock, the Tickler is dead by the end of the episode, in just as gruesome a fashion as the way he would inflict pain on others.
Across the sea in Qarth, Dany isn't quite encountering death as much as she is still figuring out how to be less of a pawn and more of a ruler. Much like Margaery, she doesn't want to just be a queen: she has a specific idea in mind of what it is she wants to do when she is a ruler. Margaery didn't really give us much idea of what she would do with all that power, but Dany shows quite clearly that she has a much softer heart. Jorah even exclaims that the whole reason why he supports her claim to the Iron Throne is that she would not be feared, but that the people would love her. This of course, is a revelation in itself, since Jorah's feelings toward the young Targaryen are shown in a full light, making for an awkward situation. I would imagine that Dany is getting sick of people thinking of her solely as a woman – a trait she could share with Cersei, who has bemoaned her gender her entire life. Both women are determined to overcome their genders, but in massively different ways. Dany seems to have a foothold in Qarth, but everywhere she turns people are warning her to beware of others. Who she trusts can definitely affect whether or not she wakes up in the morning.
One side note, this episode also featured her young dragons, which was amazing to see. The CGI on them is fantastic – one scene shows Drogon (Dany's black dragon, named for her late Dothraki husband Khal Drogo) taking a command from her to breathe fire and thus learn to feed himself. We also see a quick glimpse of the green dragon, Rhaegal, who was named for the brother she never knew (Rhaegar Targaryen). Small glimpses of the dragons seem appropriate at this stage, since the magical side of Westeros and the world that GRRM has created is slowly creeping into the setting to have an effect on major events.
The brothers of the Night's Watch, with whom Jon is currently wandering far from the wall, even encounter the fact that death is inevitable. They reach an old settlement, and create camp amid the stones of what looks to be the remains of where the First Men used to live. Sam is ecstatic with the history of the place, while everyone else is more interested in getting fires going because it's cold. But this contrast of time periods – the ancient with the current – merely reinforces that at one point, your time will past and someone else's will come. It's also a severe enforcement of the idea that the old ways are gone, replaced by new ways: those of the wildlings are quickly passing. These people, who live in barbaric ways according to the people of Westeros, are attempting to fight back against the changing times, but looking at the stone pillars of someone's house sticking out of the snow as the only remnants of their existence serves to remind us that change is inevitable.
Oh, and Theon is still getting pushed around by his sister, but it looks like he's hatching some nefarious plot to maybe attempt to sack Winterfell? What can this crazy kid be thinking? Also, Bran is having dreams about Winterfell being flooded and everyone drowning. There's NO WAY those two things could be connected.
So what will next week have in store? Will Arya have the bravery to give Jaqen another name, and will it be someone more important than a lowly torturer? What deal did Margaery Tyrell make with Littlefinger? And just what is Tyrion going to do with all of that wildfire? Find out next week, on Game of Thrones.

NORTH HAVEN — Two New Haven residents face robbery charges after police say they struck a North Haven officer with a car while fleeing after a theft.
Edward Madden, 41, of New Haven was arrested and charged with first-degree robbery, assault on a police officer, first-degree reckless endangerment, sixth-degree larceny, evading responsibility, disobeying an officer's signal and reckless driving. Candice Lawrence, 35, of New Haven was arrested and charged with conspiracy to assault a police officer, first-degree conspiracy to commit robbery and sixth-degree larceny.
On Monday night, police say employees at Ulta Store at 370 Universal Drive saw a couple putting items in a bag. Police arrived to find the couple getting in a gray BMW, according to a statement from Lt. Kevin Glenn, North Haven Police spokesman. When officers approached the driver sped off, striking an officer in the process, Glenn said.
The officer was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Officers were able to identify the suspects in the car from surveillance photos from the store, Glenn said. North Haven police worked with New Haven police department to locate and arrest the two suspects, Glenn said.
Madden was held in lieu of $200,000 bail and is scheduled to be arraigned in Meriden Superior Court today. Lawrence was held on $100,000 bail and will also be arraigned in Meriden Superior Court today.

Are you planning to or have you recently migrated to Linux from another development platform?
migration to linux
I am using linux for nearly five years. I distro hopped to almost all popular linux to get first hand experience about each distro. I found almost all of them are easy to use with a little patitence and will to learn. I hope liux will find more and more user in future.
From Windows and Mac OS X
2 years ago, I installed in my PC Ubuntu in dual-boot with the outdated Windows XP in order to have a more secure, stable and updated system. Now, Linux is becoming my favourite OS which I use for my everyday activities such as working, listen to music...
Recently, I've installed Mintppc in my old PowerBook G4. I can say that it resurrected this old Macintosh PowerPC, and with Linux, it became more fast and stable and usable. So, I recommended Linux for all people who have an old PowerPC Macintosh and who don't know what to do about it. But be careful, the installation process can be very hard and annoying with Mac...
I only use linux, so no
I only use linux, so no migration needed. Made that migration 4 years ago.
did any of you read the
did any of you read the question? you guys are talking about migrating desktops, the question is about servers. when was the last time you worked on an AIX, HP-UX, or even a Solaris as a desktop. and yes, lots of us are using linux on our desktops, actually we all should, its free. read people!
Still plenty of Windoze shops to migrate to GNU/Linux
I migrated myself over years ago ("Microsoft Free Since 2003"). However, others need to be freed from their Microsoft Jail (R) installations, and that's what I do.
When they buy new computers, they often have an older Pentium-III or Athlon XP or something similar. They're often also getting broadband access (cable modem, DSL, etc.) or something like it. I advise these folks not to toss out their old computer. I tell 'em, "hey, you already have a great firewall sitting right here, for free!" Add a NIC or two, and then OpenBSD gets put on these older computers. Voila, a top-notch home firewall is born. :-)
A distro like Ubuntu goes on their newer, more powerful multi-core box. Yes, I do hold my nose and install the proprietary nVidious or AMD/ATI drivers, if applicable. Same for Adobe Flash. Why? Rome wasn't built in a day, and this *is* still a major improvement.
Result: happy computer users who don't have to spend all that time maintaining their computers. They Just Work (TM).
Windows and Ubuntu 10.04 Dual Boot
I have recently set up a dual boot of Windows XP and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I might not upgrade from 10.04 when 12.04 comes out because Unity does not display on my Toshiba M55-S139 Laptop, and I can't even get a desktop to even activate GNOME.
I migrated from windows to Linux Mint a few years ago and could not be happier. Should have done this much earlier, but thought that Linux is more for programmers or experts as such. After a few weeks of using dual systems i threw out MS and have been recommending the system since to my network and to those who prefer a stable and secure system.
Sorry I answerd no but
Been useing Linux for years now. so no it hasn't been recent, (unless 8 years is recent) and I have no other platform to migrate from.
same here
same here, been running linux for ages...
so your missing option would be i'm already running linux for years now you insensitive clod!
Moving the last bits
I'm on linux starting from Debian/Patato
First only my servers but later on also my desktops.
Have only a winxp to support my Logitech G110 keyboard.
If Linux could have a DVDfab type app in Linux that actually works I would completely switch over.
Goodbye Microsoft
I migrated everything I have from Windows about 4 years ago (have used Linux since 1997 though). I couldn't be happier. I've been using Fedora Linux and continue to use it, very good stuff. I've also migrated many friends and relatives as well, all very happy and best of all no more support calls coming back to me. I urge everybody I talk to to at least TRY it. Do yourself a favor, download the Live CD, run it, and give it a test drive.
mac os x
yep, Mac os X Server is dead, so time to move on...
The Question.
Hey all.
I always look forward to checking your website. Its pretty good!
However on the matter of the above question, I think your results for the 'no' option are unclear.
People could be answering 'No' to 'recently' or to 'Linux'.
A person that has used linux for a while is not accounted for in the question and the structure of the question leaves the result open to the drawing of a false positive.
Jut a thought.
I read and don't answer
I read and don't answer because that... I use and develop for/in linux platforms for some years.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

text: Hulu has released a great new featurette from the Catching Fire DVD, that goes behind the scenes of the flamboyantly stylish Caesar Flickerman! Stanley Tucci reveals that the character was meant to look like an "extreme George Hamilton." He adds, "We make it look like I've had plastic surgery, by pulling everything up with tape." They also go into the process of revising the character's look for the second film, and we get an interesting shot of Caesar walking on stage, before visual effects were added. I don't think we could have had a more perfect Caesar, do you? Watch the video below:

Despite my love of the genre, I'm far from brilliant at physics puzzle games like Cut The Rope which is why I was surprised at how quickly I worked my way through Munch Time, the latest title vowing for a place in the puzzle fan's heart.
In Munch Time, the player must guide Munch the chameleon around just over 40 levels in order to collect stars and reach the end of the stage. It's a formula we've all seen before but also tried and tested. Using a bouncing mechanism, much like the aforementioned Cut The Rope, Munch can grab onto colorful flowers with his tongue, thus swinging around each stage.
Early stages are very simple to complete. It's all very straightforward as to what's needed in order to collect up all the stars and reach the exit. Not long into the game, other flower types emerge and tactics change slightly. Munch has to change color by eating special colored flies, so it's important to collect things in the 'right' order.
It's all a formulaic pattern but an enjoyable enough time. Munch is very responsive to the intuitive controls and he's an adorable and charming character. The problem lies in the relatively brief experience. It really doesn't take long at all to complete the 42 levels. Added longevity would come in the form of collecting all 3 stars in each level but this isn't very challenging either. Only in the last few stages does anything get intricate and require some careful thinking. It's all just rather lacking in imagination.
Maybe with a few more level packs under its belt, Munch Time could be a more compelling purchase. For now though, it's only really worth it for those who have exhausted superior games within the genre.

March Madness is here, and right now millions of people across this country will be using their office Xerox machines to print out NCAA Tournament Brackets to win the office pool, sports website, bar or radio/tv station contest, that could pay out anywhere from new Flat Screen TV to Pizza for a Year or the good old fashion, C.R.E.A.M. (Cash Rules Everything Around Me) Wait, did I just date myself? Oh well!
Every year people spend hours watching college basketball. They get paid to do it, and fill up time slots on radio, tv and podcasts to give you their opinion on what team or teams will play the role of Cinderella and make it to the Sweet Sixteen, Elite Eight or the Final Four, and even they get wrong too. Not to mention, with your hectic schedule of work, wife/girlfriend or husband/boyfriend, kids and best friend relationship drama, how much of a chance do you stand? But we watch and listen because we love sports, and deep down we just can't stand it when the person that wins, can't tell you if Bobby Knight is still coaching at Indiana.
Now hear me out, I can't stop you from doing a bracket, nor do I want to stop you. It's fun, but take it easy. This March has been more Madding (if that's a word) than ever before. Every week for the last 2 months the 1# College Men's Basketball Team has been beaten the very next week, knocking them out of the top spot. What this tells me, is that any team can beat another team during any game. Reality TV at it's best. Filling out the brackets shouldn't take you all day. It's not like doing your taxes or shopping for drapes. 1. Pick 4 upsets in the in the 1st round and 4 in the second round. 2. Go with your gut 1st and the hot team or teams heading into the tournament. 3. When you get to the Finals Four pick one underdog and boom you're done, 10 minutes tops. Enjoy the pure madness!

"I will work to stop the Islamization of our society, and do everything possible to prevent Shari`ah law from circumventing our laws and our Constitution," Republican candidate Lou Ann Zelenik said, Reuters reported.
Zelenik is challenging Representative Diana Black to win a Republican congressional primary in Tennessee on Thursday, August 2, to determine party nominees for the election in November.Islam Hearing Divides US Congress

The heart of their argument is the building of a mosque, which was the center of controversy in Murfreesboro, about 30 miles south of Nashville.
Zelenik says she strongly opposes the building of the mosque in Murfreesboro.
"No one is more opposed to Shari`ah law, radical Islam and terrorism than Diane Black, but unlike her opponent, Diane Black respects our Constitution," her campaign spokeswoman Jennifer Coxe-Baker said.
Zelenik, who vigorously opposed the mosque and warned of potential terrorist connections, said Black was not forceful enough in her opposition.
But Black is also voicing strong opposition to the mosque.
"The mosque was rushed through the local process, and people were mad about it, Black said.
She said communities have a right to be vigilant in ensuring that Islamic institutions in this country do not aid the "jihadist viewpoint."
This isn't about religion, this is about people staying vigilant.
Since plans for the new mosque in Murfreesboro to replace a 30-year-old facility were approved by local authorities in 2010, opponents have tried to stop it.
Opponents have argued that Islam is not a religion protected by the US Constitution, and that the mosque would promote Shari`ah.
A judge ruled last month that the mosque could be used by Muslims in time for the fasting month of Ramadan if it passed an inspection.
But the inspection showed that some additional work needed to be done before it could be used.
Islam Hatred
US Muslim leaders criticized the Republican candidates for using fear-mongering of Islam to win votes.
People like Zelenik "live in their own bubble of anti-Islam hate", Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), said.
"All you can do is rely on the goodwill and the tolerance of the members of the rest of society who don't hold these extremist, bizarre views and trust in the common sense of the American people and the people of Tennessee."
US Muslims, estimated at between six to eight million, have been sensing a growing hostility in recent months.
Criticism of Islamic Shari`ah has been a main theme by Republican candidates in their campaigns to win votes.
Former House speaker Newt Gingrich had described Islamic Shari`ah as a mortal threat to the United States.
Former Republican aspirant Rick Santorum had also described Islamic Shari`ah as "an existential threat" to America.
Former candidate Herman Cain had also said that he would not appoint a Muslim in his administration.
Cain, who withdrew from the race for the White House, later modified his position by calling for an unconstitutional "loyalty" oath for Muslim appointees.
Recently, a Republican Missouri lawmaker described Islam as a disease like polio while another Alaska Rep. branded Muslims as occupiers' of American neighborhoods.Lawmakers in at least 30 states have introduced proposals forbidding local judges from considering Shari`ah when rendering verdicts on issues of divorces and marital disputes.
