EMC, JD.com Form Big Data Cloud Computing Strategic Cooperation In China
June 14, 2013 | Print | Comments | Category: Computing, Internet, SoftwareAmerican cloud computing solutions provide EMC reached a strategic cooperation partnership with JD.com, the Chinese e-commerce website formerly known as 360buy.com.
EMC recently held its EMC Forum 2013 in Beijing to introduce its new company Pivotal, focusing on cloud computing and big data, in China for the first time, and it was at this event that the JD.com agreement was announced. Pivotal is a joint venture of EMC and VMware, a virtualization solutions provider, and it gained a strategic investment from GE.
During the forum, EMC and JD.com signed a strategic memorandum of understanding, under which the two parties will cooperate in open-source cloud platform, cloud business intelligence, and big data analysis. The two parties will try to use Pivotal's analysis technologies on JD.com's cloud platform to develop and test cloud business intelligence solutions targeting Chinese end-users. Meanwhile, the two parties agreed to jointly develop an open-source project named Cloud Foundry. In addition, EMC will place some cloud application products on JD.com to offer end-users a Software-as-a-Service product.
In May 2012, JD.com published an e-commerce cloud plan, hoping to encourage more software developers to develop e-commerce service applications based on its e-commerce cloud platform. So far, the company has published four cloud solutions, providing an open interface, service trading market, e-commerce application cloud hosting platform, application development cloud platform, and community environment to JD.com's vendors, logistics partners, e-commerce service providers, and individual developers.
EMC predicted that in 2013, Pivotal's sales will reach USD300 million and the number will be USD1 billion by 2017. According to a five-year development plan published by EMC China in March 2013, the company aims to increase the operating revenue of its big data related businesses by ten times.

We are staying at the Hyatt @ Embarcadero Mon/Tue/Wed week of 4/4 on business. We are from
San Diego.
Any recommendations within walking distance. Looking to cap dinners at $100 for both of us.
Not really into hot and trendy...more into high quality...ethnic....healthy....
Lunch and DInner recos welcomed.
You should consider jumping on BART for dinner.
Tuesday you can graze the Ferry Plaza farmers market.
http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/7021040 -
You don't have to jump on BART for dinner. For lunch/casual dinner, Barbacco is a short walk. Il Cane Rosso in the Ferry Building has a prix fixe dinner each night. Cotogna is walkable. Chinatown is a reasonable walk -- people will tell you the better Chinese food is elsewhere, but there are certainly enough good restaurants in Chinatown for a meal or two (Great Eastern for Cantonese seafood, Z&Y for Sichuan).

re: Ruth Lafler
Thanks Ruth. Nice looking suggestions. FYI, my wife is Cantonese. We have some pretty good places down here, but I'm up for it.

re: martyl9
Boulevard is way more than $50/person. There are quite a few excellent restaurants in that area, but not many you can get out of for $100/couple unless you're willing to forego wine.

My favorite restaurant within walking distance of your hotel is Kokkari.
It meets all of your criteria.
Have fun!
re: Sailing77
This looks like a sure thing to me. My mouth watered just by looking at the menu. We love Mediterranean. Thanks,.

re: Sailing77
I want to report that we went to Kokkari last night and were blown away. We know Greek food and this was stellar. Excellent atmosphere as well.
Every dish was superb..the Beet salad, the squid stuffed with feta, the smelts..the soups were divine.
Thanks again!
There are numerous good restaurants within walking distance. At most of them, you could get away with $50 per person but also easily spend more. Here are a few suggestions:
Have dim sum at Yank Sing for lunch one day. Not cheap, but high quality. The Spear St. location is 1.5 blocks from the hotel.
Dinner at Perbacco for Italian. Here are a couple of articles:
http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/d663b000-5e...La Mar for Peruvian. Nice space overlooking the Bay close to the hotel.
Prospect. A more contemporary sister restaurant to Boulevard three blocks from the hotel.
Cotogna is another good suggestion and it's walkable, but good luck getting a table! Maybe if you are able to get there early enough.
re: nocharge
Cotogna looks amazing. Maybe since we are will be trying on a monday or tues it will be easier to get a table.

re: nocharge
We did Perbacco. It lived up to all the hype. It was an extremely enjoyable experience from every standpoint....service...food....atmosphere. Loved it. Our back ups were Cotogna, Il Cane Rosso, and Ozumo.

re: AlabacaZurn
Thanks for reporting back, and so promptly! I'm curious, though, whether Perbacco and Kokkari met your $100/couple cap, as I generally think of them as being more expensive than that.
230 California St, San Francisco, CA 941110-
re: Ruth Lafler
Yes, Kokkari was just under, and Perbacco was just over. We have a good system. My wife is only 95 lbs and can she does not drink. So it is always drinks for one.
We always go heavy on appetizers and order just one entree. We always leave stuffed. Last night was the stuffed rabbit leg with a side of brussel sprouts.
230 California St, San Francisco, CA 941110-
re: AlabacaZurn
That is indeed a good system -- cutting the alcohol bill in half (or probably more than in half, since you probably don't drink as much as you would have if she was drinking, too) certainly helps keep the bill down.

"I am discerning shopper and a self admitted perfectionist! Well with that being said- I had absolutely nothing but positive remarks regarding Tiny Prints. The cards were even better quality then I had expected for the cost. The printing was perfect, the paper were a thicker quality.. I heard comments like "it was so classy".. We will be return shoppers for sure! In fact, I just ordered Invites from Tiny Prints sister website- Wedding Paper Divas."
"I love these cards! I can't wait to send them out. The color (black and white) are crisp and bold, my only complaint is I wish the paper quality was a little thicker."
"Great job by Tinyprints! This is the second time I've purchased a product and been very happy with the result. crisp clear graphic and great quality photo. Definitely will recommend to friends."
"Tiny Prints was easy to navigate as a web site. I was able to design my card easily and save it while I was away from my computer. Once I'd completed the design it was easy to order and the product was at my home even before the date they promised delivery. I wil definitely use Tiny Prints again. Thanks!"
"To those with discriminating taste or the love of an outstanding quality rich paper product, this is the product to purchase. The postcard comes as a rich matte black. Very impressive! I have purchased many items from Tiny Prints and never once been disappointed. Upon receiving this postcard, I realized why I shop here – I know that I am getting THE best! And as self-appointed royalty, wouldn't I know?"

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) -- Steve Clark stood firm to save Fabian Espindola's penalty kick in second-half stoppage time and preserve the Columbus Crew's 0-0 draw with D.C. United on Saturday night.
First place D.C. United. For United supporters who endured a three-win campaign last season it probably sounds nice and it is possible.
Who will be the next D.C.-area team to win a title? D.C. United goaltender Bill Hamid thinks his team has just as good a chance as any.
Playing its third game in seven days D.C. United navigated its way to halftime and a scoreless game on the road Saturday against New England.

DIY AC repair?
Anyone ever try to repair your own AC condenser of your house? Can anyone give me any insight or tips on changing out my contractor in my Carrier unit. I already changed the capacitor and the unit still doesn't work, so I am going to attempt to change the contractor to see if that's the problem. Is there anything else I should try if a new contractor doesn't work before I make a service call? Thanks!

The Oscars® are the créme de la créme of awards season. Every movie star picks what they will wear from the best designers in the world. They set trends and influence fashion for years to come. This event is my Super Bowl. I watch the preshow, anticipating who will take fashion chances, and win over the critics, or who falls short. Some actresses are predictable on the red carpet, and some surprise me every time.
Although the Oscars® fashion isn't realistic for everyday life, it's fun to live vicariously through each actress. You might not wear a long gown to do your grocery shopping, but you might find a pair of shoes that you love, jewelry that you can work into your everyday style, and even color palates that are fresh and cool.
Below I have put together my predictions of what the stars will be wearing to the Oscars®. From Amy Adams, to Lupita Nyong'o, I picked what dresses I would style them in and how I would accessorize their looks. I even threw a Leonardo Dicaprio look in for the guys. From their luxurious jewelry, to the most charming shoes, this is inspiration at it's finest. Throw your two cents in, and play along as we see how close, or far off, we are when it comes to what they'll actually wear on March 2nd.

Palm Date Fibers: Analysis and Enzymatic Hydrolysis
Received: 20 September 2010 / Revised: 25 October 2010 / Accepted: 26 October 2010 / Published: 1 November 2010
(This article belongs to the Section Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Biophysics)
Abstract: Waste palm dates were subjected to analysis for composition and enzymatic hydrolysis of their flesh fibers. The fruit contained 32% glucose and 30% fructose, while the water-insoluble fibers of its flesh consisted of 49.9% lignin and 20.9% polysaccharides. Water-insoluble fibers were settled to 55% of its initial volume in 12 h. The presence of skin and flesh colloidal fibers results in high viscosity and clogging problems during industrial processes. The settling velocity of the fibers was improved by enzymatic hydrolysis. Hydrolysis resulted in 84.3% conversion of the cellulosic part of the fibers as well as reducing the settling time to 10 minutes and the final settled volume to 4% of the initial volume. It implies easier separation of the fibers and facilitates fermentation processes in the corresponding industries. Two kinds of high- and low-lignin fibers were identified from the water-insoluble fibers. The high-lignin fibers (75% lignin) settled easily, while the low-lignin fibers (41.4% lignin) formed a slurry suspension which settled very slowly. The hydrophilicity of these low-lignin fibers is the major challenge of the industrial processes.

I decided to re-submit this with extra content. This is a collection of past stickman combos I've done, there should be quite a bit of variety to keep you entertained. Enjoy.
I've gotten a ton of comments on how it's always a "one sided fight" and how people don't enjoy that. I'm sorry but THIS MOVIE IS A DISPLAY OF FIGHTING COMBOS! It is not meant to be a fair fight, most of these were for a Combo Execution tournament held over at www.fluidanims.com. Please be considerate of this fact when you watch the movie. Thanks guys!

Availability: Undetermined - Enquiries?
Enter Stage Right... Great Bear Rainforest (northern BC coast), BC Canada. October 6, 2014.
This is one of those shots that has grown on me since I first processed it. I can't really pinpoint why, but when it's sitting on a "light table" style view on my computer with a bunch of other bear images, my eyes almost always come back to this shot. And, it's almost "opposite" from the normal lighting regime I tend to like (i.e., with the background being somewhat darker than the subject). And I suppose part of it might just be because this was just such a great grizzly to be around (and photograph) - he was incredibly gentle and was just so, so comfortable with our presence. Quality time with a great bear - what could be better?
This shot has value in illustrating a few technical points. First, it was shot with the "new" 400mm f2.8E VR - with the TC-20EIII (2x) teleconverter. So an 800mm shot. This lens - as well as its precursor - pairs up incredibly well with teleconverters (or TC's). This one was hand-held from a floating zodiac, and I doubt too many will be thinking it's particularly soft. Definitely one of those situations where I would have loved to have Nikon's 800mm f5.6 VR prime with me to shoot some comparison shots, but I didn't. C'est la vie.
Second - but still related to the teleconverter - is something I've noticed for a long time when shooting TC's: often the TC has LESS effect on the sharpness of the image than it does on the quality of the out-of-focus zones (the bokeh) of the host lens. The 400mm f2.8 VR (both versions) has amazingly good bokeh when shot "native" (sans TC). But add a TC (either the 1.4x or the 2x) and those out-of-focus zones become a little more "nervous" or jittery. There's no doubt that if I opened up the aperture more (say to f5.6, or wide open) the out-of-focus background would have been rendered more smoothly, but when shot wide open the subject wouldn't have been quite as sharp (images shot with TC's are almost sharper when shot stopped down a little from wide open) and I may have run into depth-of-field issues on the bear (or the grasses below it). TC's can be very useful tools, but it's always best to fully understand their limitations and what to watch for (and what to avoid doing) when shooting with them...
A higher res image may help those wishing to check out the sharpness of the 400mm f2.8 VR plus 2x TC combination - so here's a 2400 pixel version of it for you to view:

NOTE 2: Like all wildlife images on this website, the subject is fully wild and completely unconstrained. Besides the potential impact of my presence, nothing has been done to intentionally alter or affect the ongoing behavior of the subject and, of course, there has been no use of any form of bait or other form of wildlife attractants (including vocalizations).
NOTE 3: This image was captured during one of my "Into the Great Bear Rainforest" photo tours in the autumn of 2014. Each year I offer trips into two different parts of the Great Bear Rainforest as well as one to photograph aquatic mammals and oceanscapes near the northern tip of Vancouver Island. And, in selected years, I also offer photo tours to locations to capture other highly sought-after subjects, such as various boreal owl species and wildlife of Canada's Arctic. Details about these trips can be found on the Photo Tours page of this website.

Species Status in Canada**: Special Concern (May 2002).
While Grizzly Bears (Ursus arctos) are not technically listed as "Endangered" in Canada, they have been extirpated from most of their historical range. Grizzly Bears are far more sensitive to intrusion/disturbance in their habitat than are Black Bears and are being increasingly forced into marginal habitat by human encroachment. The Great Bear Rainforest along the central and northern coast of British Columbia is one of the last strongholds of the Grizzly Bear in Canada, and even this population is coming under increasing pressure.
Sadly, because this bear resides in BC, there's a very real chance that its life will be ended by a bullet. And, its head and paws will be cut off (leaving the carcass to simply rot) so that they can be mounted and adorn the wall of some fearless trophy hunter.
The debate about the trophy hunting of carnivores can be broken into 3 arguments: the ethical, the economic, and the ecological. The ethical argument for the trophy hunting of grizzlies in BC? On that one - just go back and look at this image and read the paragraph immediately above. The economic argument? Well, it's on even shakier grounds - not only does bear-watching in BC generate 11-15 times as much revenue as bear hunting (and employ 10-15 times as many people), but the revenue generated by bear hunting doesn't even cover the cost to the BC Gov't of managing the hunt itself - it's a net loss to the taxpayers of BC (all studies related to these economic claims can be supplied on request). The ecological argument? Yep, you guessed right - there isn't one. As a matter of fact, an increasing body of sound, peer-reviewed scientific studies have shown how the guild of carnivores at the TOP of the food chain are exceptionally important to the overall health of ecosystems - everything from ensuring continued biodiversity through to maximizing that amount of carbon dioxide the ecosystem can absorb (climate change consequences, anyone?).
So why does the trophy hunting of carnivores (and bears in particular) continue to exist in BC? Good question. Well, it sure isn't because of public support - just under 90% of British Columbians are against it. And many First Nations have banned it in their territories. Sadly, it appears that little more than the fact that a handful of elected officials (MLA's) in a few rural ridings fear the backlash from voters if they stand against trophy hunting is keeping trophy hunting alive.
Those wishing to get active in helping to stop the trophy hunting of carnivores in BC are encouraged to visit this page on Raincoast's website. And please help spread the word!
*The Raincoast Conservation Society (and Foundation) is an effective and efficient organization that has been fighting for protection of this unique habitat. If you are looking for a meaningful way to contribute to the conservation of this amazing ecosystem, Raincoast will provide maximal "bang" for your conservation dollars.

Australia have named a 13-player squad for the three Women's Twenty20 matches against England that form part of the forthcoming Ashes series.
Wicketkeeper-batter Jodie Fields resumes her role as captain for the games, the first of which takes place in Hobart on January 29.
Chair of selectors Julie Savage said: "The most recent Women's Ashes held in England last August was decided during the T20 phase of the series and, with the two teams so evenly matched, we expect a tough contest this time around.
"The selected squad play an exciting brand of T20 cricket. We think the Australian public will enjoy watching the stroke-play of Meg Lanning, Alex Blackwell and Elyse Villani, who have all had exceptional seasons in the domestic WT20 competition.
"Our batters will be well supported by the bowling of Ellyse Perry and Holly Ferling, whose pace is a genuine asset for the side."
England begin their Ashes defence when the Test match in Perth gets under way on Friday, before opening the three-match one-day international portion of the rubber at Melbourne's iconic MCG on January 19.
Australia captain: Jodie Fields (captain), Meg Lanning (vice-captain), Alex Blackwell, Jess Cameron, Sarah Coyte, Rene Farrell, Holly Ferling, Alyssa Healy, Jess Jonassen, Erin Osborne, Ellyse Perry, Megan Schutt, Elyse Villani.

Georgetown names four to dean's list
Four Carroll County students have been named to the Dean's List at Georgetown College, Georgetown, for the 2011 fall semester.
Students named to the Dean's List are: Cody Arthur Boles of Carrollton, the son of Duke and Carrie Boles; Kyndal Christerson Curry of Carrollton, daughter of Doug and Paula Curry; William Carroll Yager of Carrollton, son of Carroll and Rita Yager, of Carrollton; and Jensen Wainscott of Worthville, daughter of David and Felechia Wainscott.
The students at Cartmell Elementary School collected more than 3,000 non-perishable food items last November to feed hungry families in Carroll County. Now the students are collecting items for another good cause—to "help save the lost pets."
The Cartmell Student Council is leading a drive during the month of February to help provide supplies for Carroll County Animal Support, a local non-profit animal rescue organization.
Changes in Kentucky's student testing procedures mean that Carroll County students will be required to be 100 percent "proficient" in reading and math by the end of the 2013-14 school year.
That's the message Superintendent Lisa James delivered to members of the Carroll County Board of Education Thursday, Feb. 9.

Film Review: Scary or Die (2012)
SYNOPSIS: There's a cliche regarding horror movie audiences that we feel compelled to shout advice at the screen. "No don't open that door," or "he's only playing dead", and suchlike. I found myself doing something along those lines while watching "Scary or Die," only my warnings were aimed at the writing and direction rather than the hapless characters.

The Great Gatsby (2013)
Critics Consensus: While certainly ambitious -- and every bit as visually dazzling as one might expect -- Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby emphasizes visual splendor at the expense of its source material's vibrant heart.

Movie Info
"The Great Gatsby" follows Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz, bootleg kings, and sky-rocketing stocks. Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio), and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy (Carey Mulligan), and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan … More

LoginCritic Reviews for The Great Gatsby
All Critics (256) | Top Critics (51) | Fresh (124) | Rotten (132) | DVD (2)
...of such bacchanalian proportions that it requires an act of will to sit there passively as the senses are not merely assaulted but pummeled into submission. It's akin to watching a play staged on a carousel.
As a filmmaker, Baz has fine technical knowledge but he never knows when to call cut.
For all the antic, manic itchiness of his Gatsby, for all the jazz hands, the movie doesn't reach out and grab you.
Leonardo DiCaprio is wrong as Jay Gatsby but right when, momentarily embarrassed for once, he stammers that 'this is a terrible mistake.'
What's amazing is the mixture of willpower and uncertainty, mendacity and credulity, gracefulness and self-conscious posing that [DiCaprio] conveys, even before you see him speak.
Just because a film looks like it was dipped in 18-karat gold doesn't mean it's rich in quality
Many audiences will write [this] off as style over substance, but I think [director] Luhrmann supplies style along with great substance.
The Great Gatsby is a visual treat & one worth the 3D surcharge, but feels like a lopsided endeavor that captures the style & energy, but not exactly the heart & soul
Boils down to its essence of pure feeling, in every sense--from literal stimulus and sensation to the emotions, in all their seething, loving, consuming, destructive passions, that drive the characters and their actions.
Alternately intriguing and infuriating: it's very like the sort of movie exuberantly excessive Gatsby himself might have made.
This is kitsch at such a deep level it doesn't even seem to be aware that it's kitsch.
Almost 100 percent faithful to the novel in terms of plot, and almost zero percent faithful in terms of theme, character, and impact.
This take, pimped out in 3D spectacle and one woozy romance, renders the '20s as backdrop and swerves around the book's period-politics. A surreal slice-of-a-1922-summer overbaked into maximalist fantasia. The narrative frame is silly; the pacing is off.
An ambitious, multi-colored triumph, this film will be hard to forget.
The Great Gatsby is Baz Luhrman's visual tribute album to the novel; and it's only in his filmmaking comfort zones that any of the essence of the text elevates beyond karaoke.
Adapting Gatsby just so you can recreate the party scenes is like remaking Born on the Fourth of July for the war scenes. Luhrmann has a knack for missing the point.
...as disastrous and pointless an adaptation as one can easily recall...
A stunning recreation of 1920's New York that sticks as close to its source material as it can while delivering an engaging adaptation.
If Fitzgerald's Jazz Age classic is the Great American Novel, then this frantically jazzed-up 3D film is the pop-up-book version.
Though it is quite possible that the neutered feel of Luhrmann's Gatsby is entirely due to studio meddling, the finished product isn't enjoyable, either as campy fun or a serious attempt at dismantling the American dream.
Audience Reviews for The Great Gatsby
It would be cheeky of me if I wasn't forthright in saying that most of Baz Luhrmann's films have put me off. I understand his technique and I appreciate his craft, but the actual films are often too quick with their cuts, too nauseating with their one-note characters, and too over-the-top, period. Yet all of those attributes work very well for a true adaptation of "The Great Gatsby." Not only does it show the opulence of the time period, and the excess of Gatsby's lifestyle, but the drama of the love story between Gatsby and Daisy. Luhrmann is a wizard at turning visually crazed love stories into grand tragedies, and there's no better story than this literary powerhouse. While the backdrops are impossibly cloying, as they are CGI, the rest of the film, from modern soundtrack to big as life performances, feels as emotionally spectacular and huge as the original text. For what it was trying to do and for what it showed, Luhrmann easily succeeded and adapted this poignant love story.

There's a lot to like in this version of F .Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel of the jazz age, although this one's a little to "jazzy" for me. Aussie director Baz Luhrmann was an awesome choice to head this project. He captures the spectacle of the novel and its age better than any other I can imagine. It's reminiscent of his earlier works "Romeo + Juliet" and "Moulin Rouge!" The best aspect of the film is the cinematography: the sets, fashion, jewelry, etc. are executed to perfection.
The cast is excellent; DiCaprio owns this role as much as any he's played. Tobey Maguire is great as well; he's as effective as Sam Waterston was in the 1974 version. I've always thought he owned that role. Robert Redford was good in that version. He's not the actor that DiCaprio is, but he certainly looked the part. Carey Mulligan surprised me how well she played Daisy Buchanan, although after seeing her performance in "An Education," I knew she was destined for greatness.
Summing up what I liked and what I didn't is almost as simple as the film's emphasis on style over substance. That emphasis encompasses the whole jazz age, so that the film portrays that should come as no surprise. Everyone and everything as seen through the eyes of Nick, the narrator, is completely superficial. As an indictment of the near-universal values of the era, this film really works. I did not like much of the soundtrack. It was distracting and anachronistic, just a device to relate the jazz age material to the hip hop generation. Luhrmann's Gatsby is certainly visually stunning and undeniably entertaining, but I think the "update" detracts from the real power of the story.

From an insane asylum (wait, what?), Nick Carraway narrates the story of a socialite's attempts to woo his long-lost love.
Baz Luhrmann's lavish style, quick cuts, garish colors, and modern screaming, drum-heavy music attempt to capture the roar of the Roaring Twenties. It's a valiant attempt, and I like when it succeeds and don't get too angry when the style rudely overtakes the story. It's mostly faithful to the source material except for a few glaring dissimilarities that make me wonder if the filmmakers simply felt the need to stamp the story with their spin.
Leonardo DiCaprio is good as Gatsby, capturing the lavishness of his excess and the vulnerability of relationship with Daisy, and Tobey Maguire is fine as literature's most famous witness; although, Maguire isn't allowed to express the appropriate moral outrage at the end of the film. Likewise, the script doesn't give enough to Carey Mulligan to expose Daisy's depth.
Overall, it's a fair attempt, but Luhrmann's luridness is often misplaced.
Super Reviewer
I went into this prejudiced against it, thinking Baz Luhrmann had raped an American classic, bastardised it with rap and CGI, a greedy grab for fame, money, spurned it w/o ever having seen it.
I was wrong.
No film has captured the raw vitality and expansiveness of the Roaring Twenties as well, the ambition, the decadence, the hope, the hope of ambitious decadence. A visual tour de force.
And at the core of it, Fitzgerald's simple tale of an aspiring country boy who dreams of a slice of the American pie, the dream, with the girl of his dreams beside him.
All of the actors are sumptuous, Mulligan, Maguire, Edgerton (the heavy played with humanity) and Fisher ... but DiCaprio surpasses

The Great Gatsby Quotes
- Jay Gatsby:
- like old sport having you ever seem it before its all a custom job super charge engine.
- Nick Carraway:
- They were careless people, Tom and Daisy. They smashed up things and people, and then retreated back into their money and their vast carelessness.
- Jordan Baker:
- Well, I don't care. He gives large parties, and I like large parties - they're so intimate. Small parties, there isn't any privacy.
- Nick Carraway:
- I believe that on the first night I went to Gatsby's house I was one of the few guests who had actually been invited. People were not invited--they went there.

Bobby Dodd Stadium at Grant FieldGIT Yellow Jackets
Known simply as Grant Field until 1988, the stadium itself was named for the legendary coach Bobby Dodd. Located on the east side of campus, the stadium provides a unique fan experience with Atlanta's skyscrapers in the backdrop of games.

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets have played their home football games at the site of Bobby Dodd Stadium since 1905, making it the oldest on-campus football venue in the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision. In 1913, grandstands were built on the west side of the stadium. Most of the $15,000 needed for the project were donated by John W. Grant, and the field was named for his son Hugh Inman Grant. The stadium was undergone many renovations since the original 5,600 seat stadium was built. In 1925, additional seating was added to give the stadium a horseshoe shape and a capacity of 30,000. In 1947, this was increased to 44,000. Further additions in 1958, 1962, and 1968 brought this total to 58,121. In 1985, several thousand seats on the south side of the stadium were removed when the William C. Wardlow Center was installed. After this project, the seating capacity was reduced to 43,719. In 2001, a major renovation and expansion project was launched. The seating capacity was increased to its current 55,000, and several other amenities were added or improved. In 2009, a new scoreboard and sound system was installed in the stadium. The stadium occasionally hosted the NFL's Atlanta Falcons in the late 60s and early 70s when they had a conflict with fellow Fulton County Stadium tenant Atlanta Braves. The stadium also hosted the Atlanta Apollos of the North American Soccer League in 1973, the Atlanta Beat of the Women's United Soccer Association in 2001, and the NCAA Peach Bowl from 1968-1970.

Treading water around .500 and in fourth place in the NL East, the Atlanta Braves received some promising news on Sunday.
Both John Smoltz and Rafael Soriano did some throwing and were encouraged by the sessions.
Smoltz threw for the first time in two weeks as he recovers from inflammation of the rotator cuff and biceps tendon. He made 25 throws to bullpen catcher Eddie Perez from flat ground.

Baby only sleeps 8-9 hours a day
mom to baby ava, 7-5-2012
Comments (4)
My first child was a horrible sleeper. I worried so much about her getting enough naptime that I worked and worked for her to nap -- despite the fact that she never showed signs of being tired. It was so stressful to get her to sleep. I do think that some babies need more sleep than others adn that is rarely accounted for in the "how much sleep they need" information. I would work at her getting more sleep but don't stress over it too much - I drove myself crazy. She stopped napping altogether at about 2 and a half and I was so glad to stop -- I decided if she didn't nap at daycare when EVERY other kid in the room slept or during long car rides, then she really didn't need that sleep!!

"This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; No need for complicated philosophy….our own brain, our own heart is our temple. The philosophy is kindness."
Try having a 2-3 week old that stayed awake for literally 12 hours a straight. I will NEVER forget that day!
That being said, you'll get through this. Probably just a phase. It's exhausting, but at least you get more awake/bonding/interactive time with your baby! =)
My lo is still up every 2-3 hours at night to eat and only takes a couple of maybe 30 minute naps during the day. My ds slept good from the first week. Ugh, I'm so exhausted all the time!

My lo doesnt take many naps during the day...little cat naps here and there and sometimes she takes an hour or two one, but for the most part not. She sleeps 8-9 hours at night though so that works for me!

Before Banana Patch
Michael David
Michael Jay grew up in the late 60's, early 70's in a small conservative community town called Walla Walla Washington where the issues of the day were racism and the Vietnam War. Michael Jay grows into a young man who takes a different road from that of those he grew up with and he begins to find new ways to view and deal with old problems and antiquated value systems. His spiritual journey takes him from Walla Walla, Washington into the world of meditation, Eastern mysticism--and to Maui.
Before the Star Fades
Jeannine D. Van Eperen
It seemed the ocean had always been part of his life--in St. Yves, France, in Southampton, New York, and here in California, north of Morro Bay. He loved the colors of the sunset. He mused. How do I see, people wonder, and how do I explain? On some days I see fairly clearly and on those days, I take out Jean-Marie's picture and Jennifer's. I study them and I study Johanna and the children and sometimes Johanna asks," Jef, why are you looking at me like that?" And the children will say, "Daddy, y...

Before the Storm

Fifteen-year-old Andy Lockwood is special. Others notice the way he blurts out anything that comes into his mind, how he cannot foresee consequences, that he's more child than teenager. But his mother sees a boy with a heart as open and wide as the ocean. Laurel Lockwood lost her son once through neglect. She's spent the rest of her life determined to make up for her mistakes, and she's succeeded in becoming a committed, protective parent--maybe even overprotective. Still, she loosens her grip j...

For my general knowledge, I just wondered what was the purpose of the API key for Google Maps on Android. I guess it allows Google to block abusive uses of their API but is it the only purpose of it? Does it have a point for developers? Finally, why using Google Maps API on iOS doesn't require an API key?

Malvada was one of my e-friends here when I was banned in 2006. I never made another account after that. She has also been friends with my wife and I on Facebook for a few years. At the end of her time posting here, she was involved in a dispute with Pinoy lounge. I don't know how it started exactly, but it got nasty in one thread, ito ang link: http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=328969 She let it go too far, and her feelings were hurt when she was attacked back. She decided not to post here anymore after that thread. A while after that she was talking to me on Facebook and told me about her beef with Pinoy lounge. She asked if I would apologize for her to Pinoys she'd disrespected, and I told her I hadn't even been here since I was banned years ago. She told me her password and said if I wanted to go back to use her profile since I'd long forgotten mine, but respectfully asked that I remove her pictures and username. I, nor anyone else in Pinoy lounge bought an account. Kupals we've red k'd just say that to try getting a rise out of us. We didn't have any kind of bet. |
