This World Cup Celebration Dance Proves Colombians Do It Better
brazil 2014Colombia is conquering the world, not only by winning games at the FIFA World Cup. but also with their awesome way of celebrating goals.
Olé, Olá!
As the FIFA World Cup continues to heat up as it heads towards the knockout stage, several teams have stood out because of their celebratory antics.
Such is the case for Colombia, which beat both Greece and the Ivory Coast in Group C of the 2014 FIFA World Cup, assuring their qualification to the second round. (Colombia plays Japan on Tuesday, and "Modern Family" star Sofia Vergara took to WhoSay to wish them luck.)
And, regardless of whether or not you support Team Colombia, there's no denying the contagious way in which this team celebrates each time they scored a goal.
GIF credit: BuzzFeed
As you follow Tuesday's game between Colombia and Japan, keep an eye out for the happy Colombian dancers and their "winning" choreography.
The 2014 FIFA World Cup is being held in Brazil through July 13. For a full U.S. TV schedule, click here.

Battery Re-design question

Since the thread's revived anyway...
Just curious here fellas, but why not keep the deep cycles split into two banks for redundancy and use a separate start battery without wiring it to the onboard charger at all ?
Either a two- or a three-channel isolator in the alternator's output will take care of separating the start and house batteries, and I would expect that motoring out of the marina will be more than enough to replenish the start battery. For the start battery to self-discharge would take quite a while.
It would be easy enough to wire a parallel relay between the house banks' battery switch and the starter just in case the start battery is flat (did I mention I like redundancy? ;^)

Release of New Report: Auctioning Democracy
February 6, 2012
Blair Bowie, Democracy Advocate, firstname.lastname@example.com, 202-546-0173 (U.S. PIRG)
Lauren Strayer, firstname.lastname@example.com, (212) 389-1413 (Demos)
Press Call for Release of New Report, Auctioning Democracy: The Rise of Super PACs and the 2012 Election
D.C. – This Wednesday, February 8th, Demos and U.S. PIRG are holding a press call to release a new and comprehensive analysis of Federal Election Commission data on Super PACs, from their advent in 2010 through the end of 2011. This new report, "Auctioning Democracy: The Rise of Super PACs and the 2012 Election," details FEC data findings, lays out actionable recommendations for all levels of government, and provides vivid new infographics (for use with attribution) that illustrate the damage dealt by Super PACs.
The report reveals trends in money from business, untraceable sources, and major donors since the inception of super PACs in 2010. Some of the striking findings in Auctioning Democracy include:
--% of the itemized funds raised by Super PACs cannot be feasibly traced back to an original source.
--% of the itemized funds raised by Super PACs from individuals in 2011 came in contributions of at least $10,000.
Super PACs represent much of what is wrong with American democracy rolled neatly into one package. They are tools that a tiny privileged minority can use to work its will by drowning out the voices of ordinary Americans in a sea of (sometimes secret) cash. They are tools used by for-profit business and big donors to translate economic success into political gain—sometimes in secret. This undermines basic principles of citizen sovereignty and political equality, and can rob voters of the chance to evaluate political messages in light of the messenger.
In Auctioning Democracy, Demos and U.S. PIRG offer recommendations for undoing the damage dealt by these Super PACs, specifically tailored to The Federal Election Commission, The Securities and Exchange Commission, The White House, The United States Congress, State Legislatures and even Municipal Governments. These actionable recommendations provide a badly needed pathway to unraveling this system of Super PACs and restoring a voice to the vast majority of Americans.
WHAT: Press Call to Release New Report, Auctioning Democracy: The Rise of Super PACs and the 2012 Election by Demos and U.S. PIRG
WHEN: Wednesday, February 8th, 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. EST
WHERE: Call (888) 491-8283, PIN 49397922 to join. Will include a Q&A portion at the end for participants.
RSVP: Please email Anna Pycior at email@example.com to RSVP for the call.
Adam Lioz, Counsel for Demos' Democracy Program and Blair Bowie, Democracy Advocate for U.S. PIRG, co-authored the report and data. They are available for comment, please see the contact information above.
Auctioning Democracy: The Rise of Super PACs and the 2012 Election will be available at 11am Wednesday, just prior on the morning of the press call at www.uspirg.org

POSTED: Saturday, November 7, 2009 - 11:29am
UPDATED: Thursday, April 8, 2010 - 2:57am
TYLER-Carla Jackson with Operation Christmas Child sat down with Lindsay Landry to talk about how East Texans can help needy children around the world.
Christmas is arriving early all over Tyler, as local churches and schools prepare to serve as collection points for Operation Christmas Child. Soon, with the help of local volunteers, the sites will be brimming with festively wrapped shoe boxes full of gifts.
Through Operation Christmas Child, the world's largest Christmas project, Tyler residents are packing shoe box gifts for children in more than 100 countries suffering from natural disaster, war, terrorism, disease, famine and poverty. From Tyler, the show box gifts will be sorted and sent using whatever means necessary-sea containers, trucks, trains, airplanes, boats, camels, even dog sleds-to reach suffering children around the world.
Operation Christmas Child uses tracking technology that allows donors to "follow your box" to the destination country where it will be hand-delivered to a child in need.
To register shoe box gifts and find out what country they are delivered to, use the EZ Give donation form found at www.samaritanspurse.org [2].

Dear Applicant:
Welcome to our admissions web page. We hope the information in all its sections will facilitate your acquaintance with our school.
Students at the Paul L. Foster School of Medicine obtain a medical education that is consistent with modern scientific principles, supportive of strong ethical principles, sensitive to the needs of the community, and committed to excellence.
The school's educational program consists of an integrated curriculum that is permeated with clinical presentations assigned to organ-system based courses. Clinical presentations are the ways in which a patient presents to a physician. Students learn anatomy, biochemistry, physiology and other basic science concepts and content needed to understand specific clinical presentations at the time that the presentation is being addressed. This approach enhances knowledge comprehension and has been shown to improve retention of the basic sciences and to promote the acquisition of diagnostic reasoning skills that are more like those of the expert practicing physician. Because of our geographic location, during the clinical science years students are immersed in a unique and rich variety of clinical patient-care learning experiences, that include not only traditional medicine, but also international, bi-national, bicultural, and border health medicine.
Thank you for your interest in our school. We look forward to considering your application.

Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week
Pros:It works as claimed. A dock for iPhone 4.
Comes with a rubbery base to increase friction.
Its a very tight fit. Have to push my iphone down with a bit of force before it connects.
Same goes for the port accepting the usb cable.
And as with all docks, it will not fit an iPhone with a bumper/casing. So unless you're using invisible shield or dun mind taking off your casing everytime you sync, this dock is not for you.
Could do with a better fit
A simple dock for iPhone 4. Seeing that its $5, i can't really complain

This is great I have unruly brows (thanks dad) and I use this to tame them. I dont use the eyelash part so what I do is when I finish the eyebrow section I flip the wand onto the eyelash part. So inexpensive and I always have backups. I have repurchased many times
This is my automatic, go-to brow tamer. How can you go wrong? It's a dollar, available at every Target, does what it's supposed to do, and comes with a decent amount of product. I use this every single day, and it keeps my brows put. I've already repurchased this several times, and I'll continue to do so. This is a crucial part of my makeup arsenal. I love it.
this product is one of my favorites from E.LF is great for keeping my brows in place and the best part, its affordable
I don't see the need to spend more than a dollar on a brow gel when this does everything a brow gel is supposed to! Even though it comes with a clear mascara end, I still use that side for my brows when the eyebrow side is all gross and used up. It dries really quickly and my brows don't budge for the whole day. Perfect and affordable!

This is great for holding my eyebrows in place. As I age, my brows get more and more unruly. Great product! Better than the pricey Anastasia brow wax pencil!
More reviews by KeepFlyyingGirlie
Excellent product for the price. I use this solely for my eyebrows, and either side works fine for the purpose. I brush this through my brows to achieve the shape I want, and then I very lightly fill in any sparce areas with a pencil. This gel allows me to achieve perfectly shaped eyebrows, an understated statement brow if you will. Holds them in place all day (better than many high end gels too!).
Amazing. Dries quickly, perfect for setting your eyebrows, only a buck. Can't go wrong.

I love this! It keeps my eyebrows in place all day long and the mascara is great to hold a curl for an everyday look. The price is perfect at only a dollar. Totally will repurchase.
More reviews by FairytaleEndings
This is the only thing I ever use on my brows. My brows are already really full so I don't need anything to fill them in. But they tend to go all over the place if left untamed! So I use this. It keeps the hairs in place without making them feel crunchy. The spoolie is also perfect for getting into the brow hairs. I wish there just wasn't a side for mascara because I never use it.
More reviews by UrbanObsession
This is the only product I use on my brows because I'm too lazy to fill them in! It keeps my brows from looking unruly and gives them a polished look ALL DAY! My skin is oily, yet this stays in place without flaking off. I have not used the lash side because I don't care for lash primer/gloss. My only complaint is like other reviewers, I wish it wasn't double-ended because the packaging is bulky and I do not use the other side. Once I run out of brow gel, I might flip over to the lash side so I don't waste product. Will gladly repurchase for $1 this is great stuff!

Simply Natural
By: Ann Dillard for Beadalon
You can spice up any outfit with this elegant necklace. The carnelian chips and turquoise pendant really make a fashion statement.
- 8" Greek leather cord – cut in half (two 4" pieces)
- Four cord ends
- One 6mm silver split ring
- One medium silver lobster clasp
- Two #2 silver crimp tubes
- 10" .015" 49 strand Beadalon bead stringing wire
- 8" 20 gauge silver Colorcraft wire
- One medium turquoise drop pendant
- 1 strand carnelian chips
- Beadstrom™ Chain nose pliers
- Beadstrom™ Round nose pliers
- Designer Crimp Tool
- Nipper Tool
- If hole in turquoise pendant goes from front to back instead of side to side, you will need to make it into a useable pendant. Thread turquoise pendant onto color craft wire and form to pendant with tips pointing up; the front tip should be about 2" long. Use the short end to create wrap above top of pendant. On the remaining wire that is centered above pendant, thread one carnelian chip and then make a loop by wrapping.
- Crimp one cord end onto one piece of leather cord. Attach lobster clasp to loop. Crimp another cord end to the other end or leather cord. Repeat with other piece of leather cord except attach the split ring to the loop of first cord end.
- Crimp Beadalon wire to one empty loop of one cord end on leather pieces (opposite clasp). String on 4" of carnelian chips, then add the pendant and complete by stinging another 4" of carnelian chips. Crimp wire to other empty cord end on other leather piece.
Tip: An ideal finished length is 17 ½".

A Few More Details On Why We Switched To GitHub
November 11, 2010
We announced recently on the Riak Mailing List that Basho was switching to git and GitHub for development of Riak and all other Basho software. As stated in that linked email, we did this primarily for reasons pertaining to community involvement in the development of Riak. The explanation on the Mailing List was a bit terse, so we wanted to share some more details to ensure we answered all the questions related to the switch.
Some History
Riak was initially used as the underlying data store for an application Basho was selling several years ago and, at that time, its development was exclusively internal. The team used Mercurial for internal projects, so that was the de-facto DVCS choice for the source.
When we open-sourced Riak in August 2009, being Mercurial users, we chose to use BitBucket as our canonical repository. At the time we open-sourced it, we were less concerned with community involvement in the development process than we are now. Our primary reason for open-sourcing Riak was to get it into the hands of more developers faster.
Not long after this happened, the questions about why we weren't on GitHub started to roll in. Our response was that we were a Mercurial shop and BitBucket was a natural extension of that. Sometime towards the beginning of May we started maintaining an official mirror of our code on GitHub. This mirror was our way of acknowledging that there is more than one way to develop software collaboratively and that we weren't ignoring the heaps of developers who were dedicated GitHub users and preferred to look at and work with code on this platform.
Some Stats
GitHub has the concept of "Watchers" (analogous to "Followers" on BitBucket). We started accumulating Watchers once this GitHub mirror was in place. "Watchers" is a useful, but not absolute, metric for measuring interest and activity in a project. They bring a tremendous amount of attention to any given project through their use of the code and their promotion of it. They also, in the best case scenario, will enhance the code in a meaningful way by finding bugs and contributing patches.
This table shows the week on week of growth of BitBucket Followers vs. GitHub Watchers since we put the official mirror in place:
BitBucket | GitHub | |
Number of Followers/Watchers at Time of Switch | 97 | 145 |
Avg. Week on Week Growth (%) | 0.74 | 7.2 |
Since putting the official mirror in place, the number of Watchers on the GitHub repo for Riak has grown at steady ready, averaging just over 7% week on week. This far outpaced the less than 1% growth in Followers on the canonical Bitbucket repository for Riak.
With this information it was clear that Riak on GitHub as a mirror was bringing us more attention and driving more community growth than was our canonical repo on BitBucket. So, in the interest of community development, we decided that Riak needed to live on GitHub. What they have built is truly the most collaborative and simple-to-use development platform there is (at least one well-respected software analyst has even called it "the future of open source"). Though Mercurial was deeply ingrained in our development process, we were willing to tolerate the workflow hiccups that arose during the week or so it took to get used to git in exchange for the resulting increase in attention and community contributions.
The switch is already proving fruitful. In addition to the sharp influx in Watchers for Riak, we've already taken some excellent code contributions via GitHub. That said, there is much left to be written. And we would love for you to join us in building something legendary in Riak, whatever your distributed version control system and platform preference may be.
So when you get a moment, go check out Riak on Github, or, if you prefer, Riak on BitBucket. And if you have any more questions, feel free to email: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Where To Find Basho This Week
October 26, 2010
Basho is hosting one event this week and participating in another. Here are the details to make sure everyone is up to speed:
A NOSQL Evening in Palo Alto
Tonight there will be a special edition of the Silicon Valley NoSQL Meetup, billed as "A NOSQL Evening in Palo Alto." Why do I say "special"? Because this month's event has been organized by the one and only Tim Anglade as part of his NoSQL World Tour. And this is shaping up to be one of the tour's banner events.
Various members of the Basho Team will be in attendance and Andy Gross, our VP of Engineering, will be representing Riak on the star-studded panel.
There are almost 200 people signed up to see this discussion as it's sure to be action-packed and informative. If you're in the area and can make it out on short notice, I would recommend you attend.
October San Francisco Riak Meetup
On Thursday night, from 7-9, we are holding the October installment of the San Francisco Riak Meetup. Like last month, the awesome team at Engine Yard has once again been gracious enough to offer us their space for the event.
We have two great planned talks for this month. The first will be Basho hacker Kevin Smith talking about a feature of Riak that he has had a major hand in writing: MapReduce. Kevin is planning to cover everything from design to new code demos to the road map. In short, this should be exceptional.
For the second half of Thurday's meetup we are going to get more interactive than usual. Articulation of use cases and database applicability is still something largely unaddressed in our space. So we thought we would address it. We are inviting people to submit use cases in advance of the meetup with some specific information about their apps. The Basho Developers are going to do some work before the event analyzing the use cases and then, with some help from the crowd, determine if and how Riak will work for a given use case – and if Riak isn't the right fit, we might even help you find one that is. If you are curious whether or not Riak is the right database for that Facebook-killer you're planning to build, now is your chance to find out. We still have room for one or two more use cases, so even if you're not going to be able to attend the Thursday's meetup I want to hear from you. Follow the instructions on the meetup page linked above to submit a use case.
That said, if you are in the Bay Area on Thursday night and want to have some beer and pizza with a few developers who are passionate about Riak and distributed systems, RSVP for the event. You won't be disappointed.
Hope to see you there!
Former President and Chief Operating Officer of QUALCOMM Anthony S. Thornley Joins Basho Technologies Board of Directors
Basho poised to establish and lead new commercial category of enterprise-grade, fully distributed, fault tolerant, low cost data management software.
CAMBRIDGE, MA – October 19, 2010 – Basho Technologies, Inc., the distributed data storage and retrieval company, today announced Anthony S. Thornley has agreed to join Basho's Board of Directors. Mr. Thornley served as President and Chief Operating Officer of QUALCOMM Inc. from February 2002 to July 2005. Previously he had served as Chief Financial Officer of QUALCOMM starting in 1994. He currently serves on the Board of Directors of Golf equipment manufacturer Callaway Golf Co., semiconductor technology company Cavium Networks and a development stage pharmaceutical company Transdel Pharmaceuticals as well as several private technology companies.
"By joining our Board, Tony sends the strongest message to date that Riak, our distributed data storage technology, is uniquely poised to displace traditional database technologies in the enterprise," said Earl Galleher, Chairman and CEO of Basho Technologies.
"Enterprises, mobile providers, and early stage companies alike face the same challenge," said Mr. Thornley. "They struggle to realize the opportunity presented by Big Data because of the 'Big Price Tag' of traditional database vendors like Oracle, IBM, and Microsoft. I am excited to work closely with the Basho team to create a market-leading company. They have proven customer traction and they have a strong team and growth plan. I feel I can be very helpful to the company."
"Again Basho stands apart from the crowd," said Mr. Galleher. "Tony brings the unique perspective of an executive who has worked with multiple companies that have successfully transformed industries. He understands why and when enterprises invest in change. His experience will translate immediately into accelerated market traction for Riak."
Prior to joining Qualcomm, Mr. Thornley was employed at Nortel Networks for 16 years in various financial and information systems management positions, including Vice President of Finance and Corporate Controller. Mr. Thornley received his bachelor of science in Chemistry from the University of Manchester, England and is a chartered accountant.

Basho is Taking Over Baltimore This Weekend
September 29, 2010
Basho hackers will be giving quite a few presentations between now and the end of the week. And they all happen to be in Baltimore! Here is a quick rundown (in no particular order) of where we will be, who will be there, and what we will be talking about:
Rusty Klophaus at CUFP
Rusty Klophaus will be at the Commercial Users of Functional Programming (CUFP) Event taking place this weekend in Baltimore, Maryland. His talk is called "Riak Core: Building Distributed Applications Without Shared State" and it should be downright amazing.
From the talk's description: Both Riak KV (a key-value datastore and map/reduce platform) and Riak Search (a Solr-compatible full-text search and indexing engine) are built around a library called Riak Core that manages the mechanics of running a distributed application in a cluster without requiring a central coordinator or shared state. Using Riak Core, these applications can scale to hundreds of servers, handle enterprise-sized amounts of data, and remain operational in the face of server failure.
All the details on his talk can be found here.
And, in case you haven't been following your Riak Core developments, check out Building Distributed Systems with Riak Core.
Dave Smith at the Ninth ACM SIGPLAN Erlang Workshop
Dave Smith (a.k.a "Dizzyd") will be keynoting the ACM SIGPLAN Erlang Workshop taking place on Friday, Sept 30th, also in Baltimore. Dave's talk is called "Rebar, Bitcask and how chemotherapy made me a better developer."
Rebar and Bitcask are both pieces of software that Dizzy had a major hand in creating and they have played a huge role in Riak's adoption (not to mention that Rebar has quickly become an indispensable tool for Erlang developers everywhere). Dave was also fighting follicular lymphoma while writing a lot of this code. Needless to say, this one is sure to be memorable and of immense value.
More details on his talk can be found here.
It should also be noted that newly-minted Basho Developer Scott Fritchie is the Workshop Chair for this event. He is an accomplished Erlang developer and Riak is not the only distributed key/value store about which Scott is passionate – he will also happily talk your ear off about Hibari.
Justin Sheehy at Surge
Just when you thought they couldn't fit another conference in Baltimore on the same weekend… And this one is big: it's the Surge Conference put on by the team at OmniTI. Basho will be there in the form of CTO Justin Sheehy.
Justin will be giving a talk about concurrency at scale, something about which every distributed systems developer should care deeply. Additionally, he will be taking part in a panel discussion – I haven't seen an official name for it yet but rumor has it that it's something along the lines of "SQL versus NoSQL."
Check out the Surge site for more conference details.
As you can see, Baltimore is the place to be this weekend. Get there at all costs. And then go download Riak.
A New Community Editor – Marten Gustafson
September 1, 2010
Community Editors are non-Basho developers who have edit permissions on the Riak Wiki. How do you become one? Check out the Community Processes Section on the Riak Wiki for details.
We added a new Community Editor this week. His name is Mårten Gustafson.
Aside from being involved in putting a Riak application into production, Mårten has been active, knowledgeable and helpful on the Riak Mailing list and in the IRC Room (where he goes by the unassuming "chids"). He recently came forward and expressed interest in being a Community Editor, and based on his Riak credentials, the team here at Basho was more than happy to bring him aboard.
Welcome, Mårten! We are looking forward to your contributions.
If you're interested in being a Community Editor for the Riak Wiki, let us know. We would love to talk to you.
Basho Technologies, Inc. Closes $2 Million Series C Preferred Equity Financing, Continues Innovative Growth Strategy
Funding will accelerate already rapid market adoption of Riak, Basho's industry transforming distributed database software.
CAMBRIDGE, MA – August 9, 2010 – Basho Technologies, Inc. today announced it has secured $2 million from a diverse collection of angel investors in a Series C preferred equity financing. Eschewing traditional early-stage funding sources in the venture capital industry, Basho instead cultivated a network of entrepreneurial angels with an appetite for disruptive technologies like Riak who were eager to fill the post- economic collapse investment gap. The company forecasts this financing will carry it to profitability by mid-2011.
"We have an innovative product in Riak so it is only fitting we have pursued a similarly innovative financing strategy," said Earl Galleher, Chairman and CEO of Basho. "We have been fortunate to find a network of angels who understand our market and value what we have accomplished to date. Our investors have given us the time and opportunity to fully develop our product vision and to prove our market plan."
Founded in 2008 by former Akamai Technologies (NASDAQ: AKAM) executives and senior engineers, Basho designed Riak to free corporations from the constraints of traditional, highly centralized database architectures (like those offered by Oracle, IBM, Microsoft, etc.). Enterprises like Comcast, Wikia Inc., Mochi Media, and Vibrant Media use Riak not just as an alternative to traditional databases but as the cornerstone for previously uncontemplated application architectures.
"In the late 1990s, the founders of Akamai solved the complex problem of a growing Internet by allowing anyone with a website to efficiently distribute content around the world on any network," continued Mr. Galleher. "Ten years later, we are doing something similar but with a much more complex and expensive problem, the database
itself. We and our investors believe Riak will rapidly transform the entire database industry."
Applications built with Riak can sustain catastrophic server, data center, and network failures without outages while avoiding the complexity and expense that characterize applications built using traditional, highly centralized databases. Optimized for the emerging class of "cloud" infrastructure, organizations building applications using Riak can scale out dynamically to handle sudden surges in load and scale back when load decreases to reduce expenses.

Basho Partners with Joyent to Bring You Hosted Riak
August 8, 2010
This is a huge day for Basho Technologies, Riak, and our growing community of users.
We are thrilled to announce Basho's partnership with Joyent to bring our community hosted Riak on Joyent's Smart platform. With both open source and enterprise versions available, anyone can quickly spin up a Riak cluster and start building applications.
When we first began talking to Jason and David and the rest of the Joyent team early this year, we realized we shared a common vision for the future of infrastructure. The past several months have been spent finalizing the details, and in just a few weeks you'll be able to go to my.joyent.com and, with a few clicks, purchase and deploy as many nodes of Riak you want, need, and can handle.
Making pre-configured Riak SmartMachines available in the Joyent cloud will enable developers to combine all the benefits of Riak with the proven, advanced hosting platform that businesses like LinkedIn, Gilt, and Backstage rely on every day.
Mark your calendar, because hosted Riak is here!
Wikia, Inc. Selects Riak, a Next-Generation Distributed Data Store from Basho Technologies, Inc.
CAMBRIDGE, MA – August 3, 2010 – Basho Technologies today announced Wikia, Inc. has selected Riak, Basho's next-generation distributed data store, as the foundation for a new set of global services. Wikia is the 70th largest site on the Internet according to Quantcast and brings millions of people together daily to create and discover engaging content. Wikia selected Riak over traditional databases and other emerging data storage technologies to distribute its data around the world and bring it closer to its global audience.
"Riak has allowed us to do something that was impossible before," said Artur Bergman, Wikia's Vice President of Engineering and Operations. "With Riak we can break through the ceiling on performance imposed by traditional database technologies and continue to improve the experience of our users. We invest in technology that benefits Wikia's growing user base, therefore Riak made perfect sense. Riak is fast, easy to run, and extremely resilient to the failure scenarios anyone with real operational experience knows are all too common."
Founded in 2008 by former Akamai Technologies (NASDAQ: AKAM) executives and senior engineers, Basho designed Riak to provide the same high availability and rapid scaling properties provided by leading content delivery networks. Applications built with Riak can sustain catastrophic server, data center, and network failures without outages, while avoiding the complexity and expense that characterize applications built using traditional databases.
"Basho is excited to have a respected and forward-looking client like Wikia so readily embrace Riak," said Earl Galleher, Basho's Chairman and CEO. "More and more, we see companies reject the limitations of traditional databases like Oracle and MySQL in favor of Riak's flexibility and ease of use. Riak doesn't just solve problems for organizations running applications on old database architectures; it frees them to build entirely new classes of applications."
Wikia intends to deploy a replicated user session service running simultaneously in three data centers in the U.S. and Europe, replacing its current solution which is restricted to a single data center. Mr. Bergman has already contributed a file system adapter to the Riak open source community which will be used in the Wikia production environment.
"We did not set out to build a disruptive technology. We simply wanted to solve a problem faced by anyone running old database technologies," said Mr. Galleher. "We have only scratched the surface of what Riak can do."
About Wikia
Wikia, founded by Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales and Angela Beesley, is the place where millions of passionate people come to discover, create, and share an abundance of information on thousands of topics. Wikia sites are written by community members that are deeply excited and knowledgeable about subjects ranging from video games, television shows, and movies to food, fashion, and environmental sustainability. With over four million pages of content and 150,000 enthusiast communities, Wikia attracts more than 30 million unique global visitors per month and has been listed in the Quantcast top 100 sites on the Internet since early 2009.

Consistent Smashing
July 28, 2010
Sometimes you need more than words to illustrate a point. Here is Basho's humble attempt to clarify the difference between "Dynamo-Style" systems (like Riak) that use consistent hashing to achieve fault tolerance, simple scaling, and prevent data loss, and systems that use techniques like sharding.

Riak in Production – Lexer
July 21, 2010
A few members of the Basho Team are at OSCON all week. We are here to take part in the amazing talks and tutorials, but also to talk to Riak users and community members.
Yesterday I had the opportunity to have a brief chat with Andrew Harvey, a developer who hails from Sydney, Australia and works for a startup called Lexer. They are building some awesome applications around brand monitoring and analytics, and Riak is helping in that effort.
In this short clip, Andrew gives me the scoop on Lexer and shares a few details around why and how they are using Riak (and MySQL) at Lexer.
(Deepest apologies for the shakiness. I forgot the Tripod.)

I'm sorry for your loss. I've never had anything like that happen, but I can imagine how devastated you and your family must be. Even so, you can't let it weigh on you too much, it won't do any good and will just drive you into depression. Sign or not, you and your family should assess the situation, and decide realistically what your next move is going to be. Most importantly, don't get discouraged.
But even if you had gotten to work sooner, I doubt it would have made much difference. Older structures (depending on how they were built) tend to burn very quickly. It happened to a restaurant near here, and even though the fire station was only a few blocks away, the place had nearly burned to the ground by the time they got there. Just be glad no one was hurt, and set your sights on making your new place even better. It sounds like you had a good customer base anyway, so you should have no trouble getting people in the door of a new building.
Good luck to you, whatever decision you make.

"Douglas Hyde was for twenty years a dedicated Communist working for the cause on the London Daily Worker. In his late 30's he converted to Roman Catholicism and was soon quite disillusioned with the lower level of dedication among his fellow religionists than among his former comrades. In this book he shares with the Church how the Communists train their people in both dedication and leadership. This book is very important for any pastor or Christian leader to read." —Theology, News and Notes

Influencing Without Authority
Michael A. Connolly, Cambridge Consulting
Working in a large organization means depending on people you can't control, e.g. peers, project team members, suppliers. In these and other cases where you don't have formal authority (and even when you do), strategies of influence, persuasion and collaboration are called for. But most people don't like a hard sell and no one wants to be manipulated. How can you increase your capacity to influence while maintaining both integrity and rapport?
In this workshop you will explore the traditional "power and influence" approach and an alternative that capitalizes on vulnerability and transparency. Both are useful.
Through video, discussion, real life cases and experiential exercises, you will learn
- how to set realistic expectations
- your untapped sources of power and influence
- how common uses of language create conflict and suspicion - and how to use language that defuses, clarifies and opens up dialogue
- how appreciation increases opportunities for influencing and collaborating with others
- what different influencing strategies look like and how to choose one that you are comfortable with

Starwood Property Trust And Starwood Capital Group Co-Originate $475 Million Loan
GREENWICH, Conn., Oct. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Starwood Property Trust (NYSE: STWD) and Starwood Capital Group (on behalf of Starwood Distressed Opportunity Fund IX) today announced the co-origination of a $475 million first mortgage loan and mezzanine loan for the acquisition and redevelopment of a 10-story retail building located at 701 Seventh Avenue in Midtown Manhattan. The building is situated on the northeast corner of the famed Times Square bow tie, one of the world's busiest shopping stretches with an estimated 500,000 visitors per day. The loan will have an initial funding of $375 million with $100 million of future funding for redevelopment costs and also contains an equity participation right for the lender. The primary sponsor is The Witkoff Group, a fully integrated real estate investment firm.
"This transaction is a prime example of our unique ability to provide and structure large, highly specialized loans on an expedited timetable that meets the needs of the borrowers while also completing our disciplined underwriting requirements" said Barry Sternlicht, Chief Executive Officer of Starwood Property Trust. "Our experienced team of professionals positioned us to provide a financing solution for The Witkoff Group and its equity partners while enabling Starwood Property Trust to meet or exceed our return targets."
The Witkoff Group, together with New Valley LLC, a subsidiary of Vector Group Ltd. (NYSE:VGR) and a subsidiary of Winthrop Realty Trust (NYSE:FUR), acquired the property from a non-institutional owner who successfully reassembled the site through a series of complex and lengthy negotiations with the property's existing tenants. Witkoff will implement a comprehensive redevelopment plan over the next 30 months which includes the demolition of the building's interior and its conversion into a new retail space with the bottom three quarters of the property dedicated to retail and the top one quarter dedicated to a food and beverage establishment.

The Strategic Enrollment Management (SEM) Committee is led by Mr. Roger Pugh, Associate Vice President for Enrollment Management. The committee includes many of the members of the Student Success Committee, as well as others, and is charged with developing an enrollment plan. Although both committees have looked at retention targets and data, the SEM Committee reviews this data as it affects overall enrollment. The SSC, on the other hand, reviews this data more as it relates to quality of life and achievement of student success. In developing an enrollment plan, the SEM will discuss a variety of topics, to include the following: retention, academic profile of entering students, long term enrollment targets, outreach and recruitment action plans, communications plan, information about university image and branding, international enrollment targets, staff development, customer service, early outreach program, and utilization of faculty and alumni in recruitment.

I remember early December last year people are reporting that they've received gifts from google. I wonder if they have plan to send us some toys this year.
What was the gift :-) ,I would love the new year gift from G to be 'NO SMART PRICING'
I am a Google AdWords customer too so I don't know if I got it as a sponsor or a publisher. It was definitely a cool thought that I figured would dry up once Google went public and would be accountable for its expense line items.
Yeah, even when it's OFF! Every time I go to show it to someone (I have a "real" stereo I normally use for music) I have to pop new batteries in despite that it hasn't been used for a month...
It must be the amount as a friend of mine who has been doing it the same amount of time did not get anything.
A nice G T-shirt will be handy.
You know it aint that easy.. G prob runs a Smart-Gift-Giving Algo that takes everything into acount.
This is the place to buy yourself a Google gift. ;)
Everyone else was talking about their cheesy radio, and I was flippin' the pages of my little tip guide.
My present doesn't require batteries to run! Ha Ha!
grumble grumble grumble
I've been good! I've worn a white hat all year, just for YOU! I promise to wear only white all of next year! Please tell GoogleClause that I've been Good!
Please oh please oh please.... :sob sob sob:
Heck yes I'm paranoid. If Google's growth continues Big Brother will be watching. :-)
I've been good! Please santa Google!
Failing that, I'd be happy with the promise to publicly dump a few of the scammers as an example, and then work on cleaning up the crappy ads. But this may be happening already, so just dress it up in some festive tinsel and bung a few extra dollars into my account.
Smartpricing - we can dream, but it 'ain't gonna happen.
But I guess I'd really appreciate some gadget or other, wrapped in nice xmas wrapping paper most!
My Google AdWords VAT back. I'm in the UK.
Thank you Google.

Tibet tour: Go to the heart of its Buddhist sacred art in a new Washington exhibition
Julian Raby, director of the Freer and Sackler Galleries, calls stepping inside "the hallowed space of the magnificent Tibetan shrine room ... an immersive encounter."
The installation marks "a new direction," Diamond says, aimed at engaging people's emotions. Mr. Raby agrees, predicting that entering the shrine will "override the authority of the rational mind" and "activate emotional understanding."
A pronounced effect of sensation overload is unmistakable. Intense red and gold colors and teeming imagery saturate the eyes, almost rendering a viewer snow-blind. While most blockbuster exhibitions feature 200 works spread over multiple galleries, this shrine crams 250 brightly colored paintings, glittery statues, and ritual objects into one dimly lit, 14-by-20-foot room. Liturgical music floats through the air, heightening the emotional clout. The intention is to duplicate an actual shrine in a Tibetan temple or an affluent family's house.
Kandell's curator is Philip Rudko, an art conservator and Russian Orthodox monk who began the collection 40 years ago and merged his pieces with hers in 1994. He says that seeing the profusion of religious works as presented in their original context should give the impression of "an overwhelming totality" into which the individual pieces meld.
The vivid cinnabar, gold, and blue hues, Mr. Rudko adds, "inspire the individual to be in tune with the environment and make a person feel good." In the arid Himalayas, these brilliant mineral pigments must have created a sizable jolt, seducing the eye and directing the mind to contemplation.

I have been dating this boy for the past 6 months and for this 19th, we were to celebrate our 6 months together. He lives 116Km away from me and 2 or 3 times he comes to see me and we keep in touch daily from the times we wake up and till the time we fall asleep. I'm super crazy in love with him and even if he won't show the way I do, I kw he feels it too about me. But last Sunday something happened . . .
We were texting each other and around 11, he said that his sleepy (But he woke up from his evening nap at 8pm) But I was a bit upset coz usually before we sleep we talk but this time he did not call, so I called him as soon as he sent me the text but he did not answer. So I checked whatsapp and, he has been online at 11.13pm, so I called him again but no answer . . . so I kept on calling and calling. Would have given 30 to 40 missed calls. I was paranoid! I admit the way I reacted was wrong.
The next day, as usual, he sent his good morning msg, which followed by saying, "Why have you called me like crazy? What's wrong with you?" But I didn't reply and around 3pm he had msged asking "You there . .?" but I saw the msg late and replied around 4pm, which I never got a reply. In the evening, I sent him a msg saying that "I'm sorry" but no sounds from him. The next day, around 9am, I called him but he didn't answer, the next call was around 10 and he was on call waiting then but he never returned my calls and the next time when I called him it was noon and he cut the line on me. Then, I sent him a text asking "If he was ok?" but no reply till today no contact. I know his live and well because he has been active on face book and whatsapp.
I don't know what to do or think of the situation, if we are still a couple or if it has ended. What do I do?
Please help . . .

text: I'm currently following the latest development book on building GNOME and I've run into a bug which has no patch, relating to gnome-vfs failing the 'test-async-cancel' test. I've researched and found that there's no patch for this bug because gnome-vfs is deprecated. As of mid-2009, all but 6 of the GNOME components had moved onto gvfs so I'm wondering why it's still in the book and whether it's really necessary to build this component to have GNOME running successfully. If someone could shed some light on whether it's really required as part of a GNOME installation that would be much appreciated.

EOS Bodies / Re: Purchase 5DIII now, or wait for 5DIV?
« on: January 22, 2015, 09:17:47 PM »So I'm on the fence about whether I should wait and hope for the 5DIV to come out within the year, or go ahead and finally put down the money for the 5DIII. Also, any input on what people are thinking the 5DIV is going to be priced at would be nice. If its more than $1000 higher than the 5DIII or more than a year out, I probably won't be in the market for it after all. I currently have the 70D and 6D usually paired with the 70-200 2.8 II and I shoot mostly sporting events. The 70D does a decent job for the outside events, but anything indoors is too grainy. The 6D does fine on the graininess indoors, but misses focus way to often. So this is my dilemma, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
I have the 5d3 and am very happy with it, for what that's worth. I've found the 5d3 and 7d2 combination a great sports shooting setup. The 5d3 usually has either my 50mm of 16-35mm on it, and the 7d2 has the 70-200 - 2 different perspectives on an event. Not knowing the specs, timing or pricing on 5d4, I'd recommend the 5d3. I like it so much that I think I'll be hard pressed to move to a 5d4 right away.

1. Shampoo is expensive.
2. Chemicals in shampoo can irritate and dry out your scalp and hair.
3. Chemicals in shampoo can be hazardous to your health.
4. Your body produces oil to naturally condition your hair and keep it healthy. Using shampoo daily upsets the natural balance and causes you to produce more oil than necessary to compensate.
When you stop using shampoo, you will probably experience a transitional period while your body gradually adjusts to produce just enough oil to keep your hair healthy. During this time, which can range from a few days to a few months, you'll probably have some extra oil and grease that you may want to take care of to look presentable. The cheapest and most effective way to handle this is to use baking soda. The method I use involves a plastic cup, some baking soda, and a shower. You may also want to condition your hair after using the baking soda mixture, as sometimes it can leave your hair a bit dry. There are lots of different ways to do this; I use apple cider vinegar.
Step 1: Cleaning
Step 2: Conditioning
Step 3: Closing Thoughts and Advice
The eventual aim of this process is to let your natural oils care for your hair, so you should use the baking soda and vinegar only as much as you need it, hopefully reducing your usage to zero eventually. Good luck, and don't give up!
1-40 of 274 | Next » |
The comments below have helped me get more information on this method, so here is my contribution:
I've been raised washing my hair every 3 days (it got mor like 4-5 days while growing up). I was using pretty chemical shampoos tho. I've tried this today with 1tbs/cup and it's pretty evident that I'll have to lower to 1/2tbs./cup because my hair, without being itchy or ugly or anything, are really dry. Yet, I've got surprising good results!
oups! Mes recherches confirment tout de même qu'il est plutôt recommandé de n'utiliser ce mélange qu'une fois par semaine, sinon le bicarbonate de soude serait trop abrasif pour les cheveux. Minimiser la concentration du mélange serait aussi une bonne idée je crois...
Wow, I forgot to speak English... However, you guys can't understand the links I've posted here, but they all refer baking soda as a good product for hair care, but for occasional (1/week) use only.
I love that you can just 'forget' to speak a language!! Wish I was bi-lingual!! Thanks for the links by the way
Expired apple cider (like Martinelli's) and beer is good too. Cleansing without stripping the oils. Doesn't leave a residue or smell and an essential oil is brilliant.
I've gone no poo for a few months now. Didnt worry about using acv or baking soda to clean, too much work. Just stopped using. I will say before that I washed maybe only 3-4x week with organic/natural products. I run regularly and work outside, one would think my hair is dirty, but a thorough rinse with good ole h20 does the trick. I also dye my hair with bright colors (plant based) which can be a bit drying, so I use a bit of coconut oil just on the tips and let the oils seep up a little. Looks a bit greasy for a day, but I leave it for conditioning. My hair looks amazing even with the dye! I love it
after giving up shampoo.. once my hair has adjusted, the baking soda solution IS the 'shampoo'? or is that just to help my hair adjust?
Sorry I just realized you may be asking if you should use shampoo and baking soda together, and the answer is no. At least I didn't, I think that would be redundant.
It is better to wash your Hair with Corn Starch, than Baking Soda.
Baking Soda is very harsh on your hair. Also Great rinses are Green Tea, Rosemary Water/Tea. Occasionally I rinse my hair with Apple Cider Vinegar, to remove hair care products. Also Beer is great for your hair, especially wheat beer. It gives my hair lots of volume but you need to find the right one for you. I have tried several an I find that Millers works best for me an Wheat beer. Also great moisturizers are Almond Oil,Castor Oil,Ylang Ylang Oil,Pomegranate Seed Oil, Rosemary Oil, Neem Oil, Avocado Oil, Jojoba Oil, Cedarwood Oil
I began my "no poo" journey earlier this month. I shared some of your tips on my blog where I'm tracking my progress. http://thriftytightwad.blogspot.com
baking soda and acv IS a toxin free way to clean your hair , through in terms of how'll it look since they're both such high alkaline sources they'll naturally strip your hair of natural oils that are nice looking.. this is why it leaves with a dry look.. though in my experience doing this method is healthiest and better looking then putting any type of toxins in your hair .. look for natural ingredients in the shampoos and conditioner you purchase, or home make shampoos and conditioners that assist healthy hair oils
it's also important to note that acv is only effective when it contains 'the mother.'
also some sources of baking soda contain toxic heavy metals such as aluminium, make sure the type you buy is toxin free
Umm.... I've been using apple cider vinegar and baking soda on my hair for a little over a year now and my hair is in great condition. I've bleached the hell out of it to put in some crazy colors and people are surprised that my hair isn't as dried up and dead as everyone else that bleached their hair the same way. Also, manic panic color lasts a hell of a lot longer too!
I have just started using baking soda, and I am still using an organic all natural coconut conditioner I have, tho I am switching to vinegar soon. I also use Manic Panic, so I am thrilled to read that your color lasts longer!! I use the fuschia, and I prefer it quite dark and intense. I can't wait to see how it lasts!!!
In any case, as jco77on pointed out, what I described in this instructable is not intended to be done long-term regardless of any health or wellness impact. It's simply a method I understood to be common knowledge once I learned about it (which is why it's public domain) and it has worked fine for me.
Also: "The best option is either use shampoo a lot less"
I agree, and that's the entire point of this instructable, hence the name. Please see the final step where I wrote: "The eventual aim of this process is to let your natural oils care for your hair, so you should use the baking soda and vinegar only as much as you need it, hopefully reducing your usage to zero eventually."
Did you even read the article before posting? It didn't say to replace using shampoo daily with baking soda forever. It said that during the short transitional period, if your hair is excessivly oily and greasy, you can use this baking soda method to clean it up.
I've been interested in trying baking soda/ACV rinse for awhile. For about three years I've been using conditioner only washing (this is how I do it if anyone is interested: https://omghow.com/articles/stop-using-shampoo-co... )
Has anyone switched from conditoners only to baking soda or vice versa? How did it go?
Kindness is the best accessory,
I only use baking soda and apple cider vinegar, now i dont need to wash my hair as often and my hair seems a bit stronger for it too + i bleached my hair and it still isn't as dead and dried up as it should be. while using baking sida and apple cider vinegar i went from bleach blond to green to dark blue to red then once that faded back to blue. The colors even last a lot longer too. I just need to comb it before washing, and i just put the baking soda directly on my roots and lather it in while the shower hits it if i feel it isn't getting rid of all the oil.
Although I did not use white wine vinegar, I did feel oily after the baking soda. It felt better than before I washed it. Maybe its the "adjustment" period epople talk about.
This sounds great.. I do have questions! What happens if you hair is fine and extremely oily?? Will I be okay using this? I need my hair to stop falling and I also hate using these shampoos loaded with chemicals.. Any one out there have fine thin hair and has tried this? Thank you!!!!
You could use Dr. Bronner's though. It's very safe and healthy. I bought a BIG bottle last year and still have it. Only 3 drops with lather up in your hands! :) LOVE the almond oil sent.
You should never wash your private parts with soap, that's how you get thrush and bacterial vaginosis.
"Use plain, unperfumed soaps to wash the area around the vagina (the vulva) gently every day. The vagina will clean itself inside your body with natural vaginal secretions (discharge). "During your period, washing more than once a day may be helpful," says Dr Elneil, who points out that keeping the perineal area (between the vagina and anus) clean is important too. "Good perineal hygiene is necessary, by washing that area at least once a day using your normal bathing routines.""
I never use soap to clean my private parts.... because it conflicts with the natural PH value....
ok..I will be 60 in dec...i have not washed with shampoo since Oct.30,2014...having my hair rinsed at salon tomorrow...do I have them just rinse my hair? then condition? or do they HAVE TO Shampoo my hair after color is applied? My youngest daughter started to do this in September...I figured I would try,, My hair is great!!
I've been doing this for going on 2 months now. I have to say, I'm definitely a fan. My hair feel fuller and thicker and is much easier to style. The only trouble I'm having is with dandruff. Are there any recommendations to help with that?
I am on day 17 of no poo. I have washed with this 3 times. Talc is my favorite thing to keep me going. I also have arrowroot and cornstarch.
My hair does not feel very nice but it doesnt look to bad to be honest. My hair still comes out in lumps when i brush, i thought that may have stopped by now.
Will going no poo definitely 100% have some benefits for me and my hair??
I bloody hope so!
I have been doing this for a few years. One big advantage is that my hair doesn't fall out anymore!! Plus, I only need to clean my hair once a week or so. The vinegar detangles hair so it is so easy to comb afterwards.
When you come back to your house, after work or leisure, your hair brings more dirt, bacteria, fungus and allergenic substances than your shoes or your hands. Your hair is there exactly to do that, catch the dirt so it doesnt reach sensitive areas like your eyes for example.
I must say I've quit using shampoo and any hair remedy 3 weeks ago and my hair was very oily until I've washed it with the mixture of baking soda and water (as explained in this post), I've done it after a week of no poo and it removed the oilyness. now after 3 weeks of no poo I must say that as from the first few days of no poo my hair loss is gone. from loosing batches of hair every shower it is changed to loose one or two hairs in each shower.
My hair does not look gorgious yet but it looks ok and especially feels like it is healling.
I really recommand it for peaple who suffer from hair loos. you can contact me on facebook for more questions.
I have just started going No Poo for 2 weeks now. The second week it took 6 days before I felt the need to use the baking soda and vinegar. What happens later? Do you stop washing your hair completely? Just use water or do I continue to use the baking soda and vinegar as needed. What is the goal of the No Poo method? I'm very curious. Will I eventually be able to not have to wash my hair ever again?
Depending on your type of hair you might be able to go completely product free and just wash with warm water to remove excess oil. However, if your hair still gets excessively oily, you can always go back to the baking soda.
