Dear Mark: Soy-Fed Eggs, and Liver-Polluting, Body-Acifiying, Meditative State-Preventing Meat
Posted By Mark Sisson On August 12, 2013 @ 8:00 am In Dear Mark,Nutrition,Protein | 68 Comments
We've got a two-parter for today's edition of Dear Mark [7]. First, I field a question from a reader who loves eggs, raises his own chickens [8] on open pasture, and wants to know whether or not the soy he currently includes in their diets is going to affect him. Then I evade a silly question about the stagnating, putrefying qualities of rotting animal flesh and explore whether meat truly does raise uric acid levels, thereby interrupting our pursuit of satori and maybe giving us gout.
Let's go:
Hi Mark,
I am currently doing about a dozen eggs per day (along with other primal friendly foods). We raise chickens and allow them to pasture happily and freely while also supplementing their diet with an organic soy based feed. Where my concern comes in is the soy content in the eggs. I hate not to use them since these chickens do produce pastured eggs. I am currently on the hunt for a soy free feed so this should no longer be an issue in short time to come. In the mean time, I have found another source of soy free pastured eggs; I use these and my family uses the eggs our chickens produce. Currently doing a dozen eggs per day, should I be worried about the the soy content in these eggs? I am not intolerant to soy just concerned about phytoestrogens I would be taking in on a daily basis. Thank you for your time really love and enjoy MDA!!
I have good news: you probably don't have to worry about the phytoestrogens.
Sure, soy phytoestrogens show up in eggs from soy-fed chickens, but it's a pretty small amount. A few years ago, a study (PDF [9]) showed that while chickens fed supplementary soy phytoestrogens produced eggs with high levels of phytoestrogens in the yolks (nearly 1000 mcg/100 grams yolk), chickens on a standard 25% soy diet produced yolks with just 46 micrograms of phytoestrogens for every 100 grams of yolk. An egg yolk runs about 20 grams or so, so with your 12 yolk-a-day habit you'd be getting a little over 100 mcg of phytoestrogens. That pales in comparison with the amount of soy phytoestrogen [10]s (or isoflavones) in most soy supplements [11], which have about 50 milligrams of pure phytoestrogens per serving and are designed to elicit physiological effects. It also doesn't really compare to the 15-50 mg/day phytoestrogen intake [12] of people who actually eat soy, nor the even higher levels used in clinical trials. While it's possible that you may be extremely sensitive to phytoestrogens, I'll bet you can safely save your money and eat your own eggs without worrying about growing breasts.
That said, there is one bigger problem with soy-fed chickens and their eggs, and it rhymes with "Jomega Fix."
Chickens are the kind of animal that incorporates the fatty acid profile of whatever it eats into its own tissues. Pigs and people are the same way. There's some endogenous conversion of fats, but by and large if they and we eat a bunch of polyunsaturated fats [13] our tissue fat will become more unsaturated. Ruminants, like cows, sheep [14], and bison, are different. They can eat omega-6 [15]heavy grains and end up with fairly consistent levels of saturated [16], monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fats in their milk [17] and meat.
So, when a chicken eats a lot of soy or corn, the fatty acid breakdown of which is heavily weighted toward omega-6, they produce eggs that are also higher in omega-6 fats at the expense of monounsaturated fat [18]. This is not a good thing. We are inundated with linoleic acid nowadays. We're positively (but not literally) swimming in it (albeit laboriously, since it is a thick viscous oil). Plus, research [19] shows that eating eggs [20] from chickens fed a diet high in omega-6 can make your blood lipids [21] more prone to oxidative damage, the progenitor of atherosclerosis and probably heart disease [22].
All that said, eggs are still good to eat. Their fat is still primarily saturated and monounsaturated (as long as the hen's diet isn't all soy). They still contain lots of micronutrients [23] like vitamin A and choline and they're still a great source of highly bioavailable protein. They're no less delicious. And, being as that your chickens are pastured with some supplementary feed that contains some soy, you're better off than almost everyone. For everyone else, I wouldn't break the bank on regular eggs that happen to be soy-free. Instead, spend the money on pastured eggs, which may or may not have some soy in their diets. You'll get far more bang for your buck.
Side note: I really enjoy the phrase "soy-fed eggs." It conjures images of a farmer ever so softly cracking an egg and trying to slip soybeans through the crack.
Hi Mark,
My vegetarian yoga teacher says these things about eating meat. Can you respond? Thanks!
Meat is a concentrated animal protein. When an animal dies, its proteins coagulate within a few hours, releasing various toxins. These toxins can initially be absorbed by the liver, but eventually even the liver can't handle them, and the body becomes polluted. Vegetable proteins, by comparison, do not undergo auto-putrefaction. Their main residue is cellulose, which is inert.
Meat is among the most acid-producing foods. It leaves a residue of uric acid in the bloodstream. Acidic blood is an ideal environment for the development of cancer. Uric acid is a toxin that makes it harder to reach the higher, clearer meditative states because it is an irritant in the bloodstream.
Your vegetarian yoga teacher doesn't happen to be this guy [24], does he?
I'm not going to touch the first part of the question. Anytime I see words like "coagulate" or "toxins" or "polluted" or "putrefaction" coming from someone that's anti-meat eating, my face goes numb and I disengage from the conversation. It's not worth trying to refute, because people who use terms like that won't ever change their minds. Believe me. It's standard anti-omnivore propaganda. Next he'll tell you that John Wayne (or was it Elvis) died with forty pounds of rotting meat lodged in his colon [25].
I will, however, discuss the uric acid question. Studies are fairly clear. Vegans, those folks who get all of their protein [26] from plant sources and none from animal sources (except the spattered varmint blood and brain residues churned up by the grain thresher as it plowed through your vegan-friendly monoculture crop of choice), have the highest uric acid levels [27]. Higher than meat eaters, fish eaters, and vegetarians (so I guess your teacher is able to hit those deep meditative states).
If he's at least casually familiar with the literature, he'll probably say "But purines!" And on the surface, he would appear to have a point. When dietary purines are broken down, we produce uric acid as a byproduct. What contains purines, you might wonder? Organ meats like sweetbreads, kidneys, liver [28], and brain; seafood like sardines, anchovies, herring, mackerel [29], scallops, and mussels; and wild game [30] meat. In other words, the most prized Primal foods are high in the substance that produces uric acid in the body! Checkmate! Right?
No. In practice, eating purines actually increases uric acid excretion [31] in order to maintain balance and keep excess uric acid down. It's also worth noting that dietary protein has also been shown to increase uric acid excretion [32] and lower serum uric acid. If eating meat [33] – an infamously strong source of dietary protein and purines – increased uric acid levels, that wouldn't be the case. Plus, low-purine diets for the treatment of gout [34] (caused by an excess of uric acid in the blood) have been tried, and they don't really work (PDF [35]). Going on a zero-purine diet barely lowers uric acid levels by 1 or 2 mg/dL, and that reduction is short-lived. Meanwhile, a high-purine diet only raises uric acid levels by 1 or 2 mg/dL. That too is short-lived. You know what does work compared to a low-purine diet, according to researchers? A high-protein (and high-purine by extension), low-carbohydrate diet.
Also, the Buddha ate meat, and I hear he was pretty successful with that meditation stuff [36].

Author has written 9 stories for Young Adult.
Hi! I'm Kinky Mistress! I have another account on Fictionpress, but all my family members and even a few teachers know about it, so I can't post my super sexy sex! Which I've been longing to do, since I'm a perverted freak.
Pervert Level: Japanese
But I'm not Japanese, just so you know.
About me
I'm a girl.
I love to write. (Mostly yaoi these days)
And, I'm not allergic to anything!
Okay, well, I'm pretty much willing to write any kind of smut for you! MxM, MxF, FxF, FxMxF, MxMxF, MxMxM, and so and ect. Just send me a PM.
Maybe you'll figure out who I am. If you ever guess it right, I'll write a kinky story especially for you. It should be really obvious, if you ever see my other profile. The layout is exactly the same.
Hmm, I'm trying to think of something fun to add to this profile, but I'm coming up empty.
How about some random facts?
1) A duck's quack doesn't echo, and nobody knows why.
2) When you sneeze, all body functions stop, including your heart. I'm actually happy about that, because I feel like the poor heart never gets a damn break.
3) Porcupines float.
4) A fire in Australia has been burning for 5,000 years.
Stories and Stuff
Ashlian Oneshots- These are oneshots about two twin brothers, Ash and Julian, who are in a sexual relationship. Ash is the younger, but dominant twin, and Julian is the older, but submissive twin. Like, way dominant, and way submissive. Sado/Maso twins, basically. I just made up that couple name a few seconds ago.
Jimeni- These is about a boy who wakes up in the woods with no memories, and then is kidnapped by a man named Joshua, where he meets Diove and Jules, two other boys that Joshua keeps captive. Sorry about the long waits in between chapter, I'm have much difficulty deciding if I should put sex scenes in after all. I most likely will, so no worries. No worries, I did.
The Chronicles of a Teenage Slut- This is about a boy who lives a shitty life, and thinks he doesn't need love, but of course, finds himself falling in love anyway, but having to deal with the fact that the guy he likes won't acknowledge him publicly, This sounds kind of corny and cliche, but I'm hoping it won't follow the crowd too much. Also, there will be sex. Because Max is, well, a slut.
Life Couldn't Hurt Anymore- This is about a boy who got outed on the internet, with a sex tape, and now has to deal with bullying. Basically, he also lives a shitty life. It's kind of like TCOATS, except Tate's a nerd. But then a new boy moves into town, and kisses him in front of everybody. I wish I could go into better detail, but I don't want to give stuff away.
Coming Soon: Nothing!
But I really should write those lesbian and straight stories, like I said I would.

Issued at 315 AM CDT WED MAR 25 2015 Currently - This Morning: Low stratus/fog has been overtaking much of the forecast area with the lowest ceilings and worst visby conditions across portions of northern MO, coincident with where yesterday`s rains fell. Conditions should continue to deteriorate over the next few hours before mixing sets in after sunrise this morning. Temperatures are expected to remain just above freezing through the morning across the north so freezing fog shouldn`t be an issue. Otherwise, look for a benign start to the day before activity reignites later this afternoon. Midday Today - Overnight: Showers and thunderstorms will once again develop this afternoon out ahead of another low pressure system grazing past southern MO later tonight and an upper trough swinging through from the NW. There will be two different areas of precip setting up with slightly different forcing as a result. Across northern MO and adjoining state boundaries, confluence aloft and lower-level frontogenesis will provide the forcing that showers and isolated (elevated) thunderstorms need, along with PWATs increasing throughout the day. In the south (central MO), development is associated with the low passing through as moisture and instability get advected in with it. The better instability should remain south of this forecast area this evening through tonight but if any of that can get pulled into the southern counties, could see some storms becoming strong as the better dynamics lays out across this forecast area. Severe threat looks to be lower for this evening as compared to last evening, especially if storms take a while to fire up, losing the diurnal heating factor as the evening progresses. However, cannot entirely rule out a misbehaving storm or two with hail, followed by winds, being the primary threats once more. Have leaned on hi-res models for this forecast update, given how well many of them performed last night. Temperatures will struggle to get out of the 50s north of the I-70 corridor today with lower 50s expected near the NE/IA/MO borders. Highs could reach into the upper 60s in the far southern counties, where the aforementioned strong storm threat exists. Thursday - Friday Night: Much quieter conditions settle back into the region at this point with just some light precip traversing through overnight Thursday into early Friday and then again possibly overnight Friday. This is on the backside of the previously mentioned upper trough that will have swung through, with a vort max rotating through, as well as being situated on the left exit region of a meridional upper jet as the driving forces. High temps on Thursday will only reach the 40s and 50s, and as the chillier air settles in by Thursday night, lows will drop into the 20s and lower 30s. As such, along with a vertical thermal profile supportive of ice growth within the cloud layers, could see light rain (ice pellets?) either mixing in with light snow or the light snow as the dominate precip type as the temps drop throughout the night. However, no accumulations are expected, especially given how warm the ground surfaces have been as of late. Friday`s highs will be even cooler than Thursday, ranging from the lower 40s to near 50 from NE MO to the KS/MO border, respectively. Friday night lows will again drop off into the 20s and 30s, although currently looks to be slightly warmer than Thursday night as the colder airmass begins to pull away from the region. Another opportunity for rain and/or light wintry mix could greet the forecast area again Friday night as little changes to the overall pattern occur. While some of the models sort of agree on precip occurring that night, the key word is "some" as there are disagreements on whether or not this secondary "round," so to speak, will play out. Should have a better idea as this time period gets closer, allowing for a higher confidence forecast. Regardless, any precip should be light once again, with no accumulations expected if wintry precip does fall. Saturday - Tuesday Night: As alluded to just above, the 00Z GFS and ECMWF diverge on solutions for the weekend through early next week. They both indicate a frontal boundary passage later in the weekend on Sunday, but disagree spatially and temporally on the parent low trekking across the Canadian-U.S. border and through the upper Great Lakes. Have left slight chance PoPs in for the eastern third of the forecast area on Sunday but stay tuned to future updates as the details get worked out. By early next week, the surface pattern diverges even more extensively, likely being translated down from subtle but obvious differences in the depiction of the upper-level pattern. Therefore, low confidence forecast with respect to precip that far out at this juncture. Where higher confidence forecasting exists is in the temperatures through this time frame. Warm-up begins on Saturday with highs looking to reach well into the 60s area-wide. Sixties to lower 70s appear to continue through next week with relatively seasonal lows in the 30s and 40s, with potentially some 50s as lows by the end of this forecast period. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday Afternoon) Issued at 1223 PM CDT WED MAR 25 2015 Fog has improved at the terminals late this morning however, IFR cigs remain and are expected to cont thru 20Z-21Z.

I have a crash every time I click on mash wizard. this drives me crazy...
what to do?
I runned it on xp and win 7 - always the same issue....
it crashes when I click on mash wizard....
I brewed with this on the weekend. I heated up my cooler MLT with hot water before I added the grains. My mash temps came in about 3 degrees higher than anticipated. I assuming that the strike water temperture takes into account that the temp of the MLT is the same as the grain? Therefore, not heating up the MLT is the way to go?
Rocketman, I came up short on my pre-boil volume in the kettle (about .75 gallons). What is the grain absorption ratio that you're using and can that be modified in any way?
Other then that, I love what you've done! Keep up the good work.
That's what I did (weighed my cooler-about 15 lbs). Not sure if it is indeed correct but I assumed it was. Not sure if it has been noticed or mentioned but every time I go into my equipment that I set up, it always divides the Specific heat by .22 Even without clicking on the box.
All of these people with MAC problems makes me glad I'm a PC
Question, just finished my 1st AG using this software. To calculate efficiency, do I use the OG or the Boil SG? I assume I take my gravity reading pre-boil and divide it by one of those-correct? If I measured, 1.036 (OG is 1.058 and Boil SG is 1.045) I could potentially have an efficiency of (36/58) 62% or (36/45) 80% respectfully-right?
is there a reason you're not recording the dry yield fine grain number in your fermentables database?
i'm trying to move some grains in from beersmith and i've figured out how to get the yield from the SG used in beersmith, but do i need to record the dry yield fine grain at all?
On tap:
You Porter, You Dug 'er Up (Munich/Crystal version)
Todd's Special Bitter
Brown Cascade Hoppy Brown Ale
You Porter, You Dug 'er Up (Amber/Brown malt version)
Shortwrench IPA (Longhammer Clone)
Looks quite nice! I've only played with it a bit but have a question that I couldn't figure out: how do you set it up to do extract/steeping or partial mash brewing, esp. where you are doing partial boils?

GLASS BLOCK VENTILATING DEVICE Filed June 4, 1952 4 Sheets-Sheet 4 United States Patent GLASS BLOCK VENTILATING DEVICE John H. Sutter; Norcross, Ga., assignor to Owens-Illinois Glass Company, a corporation of Ohio Application June 4, 1952, Serial No. 291,648
4 Claims. (Cl. 160-95) This invention relates to glass blocks and particularly to a ventilating device for glass block walls.
It is often desirable to provide ventilation in Walls made of glass blocks. The current practice is to provide an opening in the glass block wall and mount a sash or door in the opening. Such a construction is rather complicated and expensive. In addition, the external appearance of the wall is usually marred by the construction.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a ventilating deviceovercoming these disadvantages and utilizing a glass block half.
Another object of the invention is to provide such a device which is easily and quickly mounted in position in the glass block wall.
Other objects of the invention will appear hereinafter.
Basically the invention comprises a frame in which a glass block half is mounted for pivotal movement. The construction includes a screen and means for pivoting the glass block half into and out of flush relationship with the wall.
Referring to the accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 is a front elevational view of the ventilating device;
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary view of a wall incorporating the device;
Fig. 3 is a sectional view at the line 3-3 on Fig. 1;
Fig. 4 is a view as indicated by the line 4-4 on Fig. 1;
Fig. 5 is a view similar to that shown in Fig. 3 with the glass block half pivoted into open position;
Fig. 6 is a fragmentary sectional view of a corner of the frame of the device;
Fig. 7 is an isometric view of the hinge for mounting the glass block half;
Fig. 8 is an isometric view of the clamp for moving the glass block half;
Fig. 9 is an isometric view of the bracket for holding the glass block half in open position;
Fig. 10 is an elevational view of a modified form of the glass block ventilating device;
Fig. 11 is a side elevational view of the modified form of the device;
Fig. 12 is a sectional view at the line 12-12 on Fig. 10 with the glass block half in open position;
Fig. 13 is a part sectional plan view of the modified form of the ventilating device;
Fig. 14 is a front elevational view, with parts broken away, of the modified form of the device;
Fig. 15 is a fragmentary elevational view of a Wall incorporating the modified form of the device;
Fig. 16 is a fragmentary sectional view at the line 16-16 on Fig. 14 with the glass block half in open position; and
Fig. 17 is a fragmentary sectional view at the line 17-17 on Fig. 14.
As shown in Fig. 2, the glass block ventilating device 20 which comprises this invention may be inserted in a glass block wall 21, in the place of a glass block. The glass blocks which form the wall 21 are of conventional 2,738,838 Patented Mar. 20, 1956 construction and are made of two separate halves which are molded and then sealed together.
Referring to Figs. 1, 3, 4, and 5, the device includes a rectangular frame 22 with an internally extending peripheral flange 23. A screen 24 is positioned adjacent to the flange 23 in perpendicular relationship to the sides of the frame 22. The screen 24 is retained in position by a strip 26 extending around the interior of the frame and having an edge 27 adjacent to the screen. The inner marginal portion of the strip is turned inwardly to form a flange or edge 28 for retaining a gasket 29 in position on the interior of the frame. The gasket is made of resilient material for forming a sealing contact as presently described.
A glass block half 30 is pivotally mounted in the frame at one corner 31 thereof and movable into and out of sealing contact with the gasket. The glass block half 30 is of conventional construction and comprises a face 32 and a marginal flange 33. The marginal flange may be provided with corrugations or ribs 34 extending circumferentially on the external surface thereof.
The means for pivotally mounting the glass block half comprises a hinge 35. As shown in Fig. 7, the hinge includes a section 36 fastened by rivets 37 (Figs. 5 and 6) to the corner of the frame, and a second section 38 held in pivotal relationship to the first section by pin 39. The second section 38 of the hinge includes a U-shaped spring clamp portion 40 which springs into position to grip the upper marginal edge 33 of the glass block half 30 thereby retaining it in position. The glass block half may be easily removed and replaced at any time without affecting the mounting of the hinge.
Means is also provided for moving the glass block half into and out of sealing position with the gasket. This includes an arm 41 fastened to a clamp 42 (Fig. 8). The clamp 42 is U-shaped and formed with corrugations which snap into position over the corrugations on the lower marginal edge of the glass block half. A rod 44 is pivoted to the end of the arm 41 and provides a means for operating the arm to in turn move the glass block half. When the glass block half is .in sealing position with the gasket and has its face in vertical position the arm 41 extends through an opening 43 in the screen. A tab 45 is provided on the upper edge of the frame to lock the rod 44 and retain the glass block half in sealing position (Figs. 1, 3, and 4).
A bracket 46 (Fig. 9) is fastened to the lower edge of the frame and extends upwardly adjacent to the screen and forms a U-shaped reinforcing edge 47 and an elongated opening 43' adjacent to the opening 43. Notches 48 are provided in the rod 44 and cooperate with the bracket 46 to retain the glass block half in various open positions (Fig. 5).
A modified form of the ventilating device is shown in Figs. 10 through 17. As shown in Figs. 12 and 13, a spring 50 is inserted in the hinge. This spring tends to keep the glass block half in open position out of sealing contact with the gasket. The glass block half is mounted to the hinge by means of a strap 51 which extends circumferentially around the marginal flange of the glass block half. A bracket 52 is fastened to the strap and the marginal edge of the flange. A chain 53 is connected to this bracket 52 and extends through the opening 43 in the screen and in turn through an opening 54 in bracket 55 fastened to the frame. The bracket 55 includes a small slot 56 extending downward from the opening 54 into which the chain may be forced and thereby retain the glass block half in any desired position. As shown in Fig. 16 the glass block half is in open position, whereas in Fig. 17 the glass block half is in sealing position with the gasket. In all other respects the modified form of 3 ventilating device is the same as the form shown in Figs. 1 through 9.
In each form of the ventilating device the block half 39 may be of the same dimensions and a substantial duplicate of the surrounding block halves of the wall 21, the block half 3% when in closed position having its exterior surface flush with that of the wall 21.
Modifications may be resorted to within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

It's probably a good idea to state I wrote this blog while employed by Amplidata, but during my own time. This article reflects my own opinion, not necessarily that of Amplidata or its partners.
As I am writing this, I am crossing the Atlantic for the seventh time in about two months. I'm on my way to CloudExpo West in Santa Clara, one of the few technology trade shows that are still growing. At the event I will be sitting on the last Object Storage for Big Data panel of the season. Robin Harris – aka StorageMojo – and I have been working hard this fall educating the industry on the benefits, challenges and opportunities of Object Storage. We've been trying to explain how the current generation of Object Storage platforms is so much different from the first attempt at it (EMC's Centera), how it enables companies cope with the massive amounts of unstructured data that we are all generating and how companies can even monetize archived data by re-activating their archives.
Unlike StorageMojo and some other people who I have been working with lately, I don't have decades of experience in the storage industry. However, being located in Belgium, I've had the privilege of working with people who used to be part of the Filepool team (and spent years at EMC after the acquisition). Those were the earliest object storage days, I had no idea of what was coming. Later, at Sun, I learned a lot about Object Storage when we were working on the Sun Cloud project. The architecture (ZFS) was different of what we are seeing on the market today, but the concept was – as was often the case at Sun – promising. This article is not another take at describing Object Storage and the benefits it brings, it's more an overview of what we have learned at the past four Object Storage for Big Data panels. The setup for each of the panels was mostly the same: Robin Harris would challenge between 4 and 6 Object Storage specialists (technology vendors or users) and try to have the audience participate with. We did expect the topics of the panels to be different as we were hosted by trade shows with different audiences, but we never expected the discussions to vary as much as they did.
The common thread for each panel was the challenge companies have to store different types of Big Data and more particularly Big Unstructured Data. The latter represents up to 90% of the digital data that we will be generating over the next decades and will put traditional storage technologies under heavy stress as they are hitting their scalability limits. Unstructured data is currently mostly stored in file system based storage infrastructures. File systems will not only be unable to scale as required – try setting up a file structure for 5 petabytes of data – but they will also become obsolete as applications can provide a lot more features to keep your unstructured data organized (structured?), to analyze that information and potentially monetize what is today stored in (dead) tape archives. Rich applications that talk directly to a large and (infinitely) scalable storage pool make a lot more sense than maintenance-intensive files systems. Also, properly designed Object Storage (with erasure coding technology instead of RAID to protect the data) requires a lot less overhead, consumes a lot less power, can easily be implemented over multiple sites and does not require migration to new systems when a system cannot be further scaled. So what else did we discuss at the panels?
The first panel after summer was at Intel's IDF in San Francisco. Panel members came from Intel and Quanta, who with Amplidata built an Object Storage reference architecture. We also had Michelle Munson of Aspera, who presented a couple of perfect use cases of Object Storage in the media and entertainment industry. Aspera developed a very smart way to transfer large amounts of data over the WAN in a much more efficient way than how it is currently done. Aspera's bandwidth optimization software practically enables this new generation of Object Storage by taking away the latency issue, e.g. to stream high res movies over a long distance. Once we had explained the drivers for Object Storage, the opportunities and best practices, most of the discussion (questions from the audience) was about why RAID is not the right technology to architect an Object Storage platform with. We discussed the benefits of erasure coding in much detail and spent a lot of time on the differences with RAID. In short: in Erasure Coding based systems, all disks are equal (all parity) and there is no need to rebuild a disk when broken: when codes are lost due to bit errors or hardware failures, new codes can be generated spread over the whole pool, not just one system. A recent and very good independent deepdive in the Amplidata erasure coding technology can be found here.
A lot less RAID and erasure coding at the Createasphere DAM Show in New York a few weeks later. The show focusses on Digital Asset Management and the attendees are more interested in the applications and content than the actual data. That did not make the discussion any less interesting. From Sarah Berndt of Johnson Space Center we learned a *lot* about the importance of metadata, an issue that would be discussed at SNW Europe as well (see further). Interesting newcomer on the panel was Dalet, a DAM vendor who integrate with many Object Storage platforms and see a clear benefit of having their platform interface with a scale-out storage pool directly (REST) rather than through an additional file system. Dalet is the perfect valet in my car analogy that is becoming more and more popular: a file system is like a public parking lot where you have to go find your car yourself (this once took me a few hours in Paris' CDG airport). Object storage is much more like valet parking, where you get a ticket when you leave your car and use that ticket to get it back later. The application, Dalet, is the valet.
At SNWUSA in Santa Clara in October we had David Chapa of Quantum on board for the firs time. David is an authority to explain the use cases where tape is the better alternative and when it is better to use Object Storage, or Wide Area Storage (WAS) as Quantum calls it. WAS is Quantum's attempt to take away the confusion caused by the name Object Storage, a term first used by EMC almost a decade ago. I think it's a good idea of Quantum to try to introduce a new term, I'm not sure WAS is the best choice though. Maybe something new will come up next month at Greg Duplessie's Object Storage summit, although I doubt it. Once we kind of agreed that this generation of Object Storage, or whatever it will be called later, has very little or nothing to do with EMC's product line that was most famous for locking-in customers, the conversation took a very sudden change. In an attempt to spice up the discussion, Ranajit Nevatia of Panzura claimed Object Storage provides very bad performance. This was very much true for the first generation of Object Storage platforms we just discussed and might be true of the platforms they currently promote (including Atmos, EMC's second attempt at Object Storage), but not at all for the technologies that are most successful on the market today. Scality have been promoting their high IOPS (smaller files, IO intensive workloads). Amplidata focus more on large file storage, which is IMO the more obviouse use case for Object Storage, but I may be biassed. In a recent independent test, Amplidata demonstrated throughout numbers that can only be called "extremely high-performant". Howard Marks confirmed Amplidata provides 1 GB/s of throughput with a single controller. But it gets better: Amplidatas scale throughput linearly by adding more controllers. So a system with 6 controllers provides 6 GB/s of throughput.
Last week's panel at SNW Europe, which is traditionally well attended by press and analysts, was again very interactive. Robin Harris set the stage explaining how this generation of Object Storage is different from earlier products. This led to a lengthy discussion about API's, a call for one standard API (I say let's just all standardize on Amazon) and complaints about lock-ins by … yes, EMC. Vendors be warned, that trick is getting old and is not getting any respect. The audience included some of the better analysts and bloggers, including the451′s Simon Robinson and Storagebod. The latter, known for being a critic of the Object Storage paradigm (with great arguments), helped us bring the discussion to the next level by bringing up interesting topics such as the importance of metadata for the applications: who/what will enter metadata? The application? People? The panel acknowledged that, while applications already generate quite some metadata, companies will have to make business decisions on how much metadata they need. Adding more metadata comes at a cost as it will require manual work. The day after the panel, it was interesting to see Chris Mellor be critical of Object Storage in his review of the show (how dare the Object Storage vendors doubt the many benefits of tape?). Chris, join us on the panel next time!

First coffee roasting
I've been growing coffee for over 3 years and never had enough coffee cherries to get a sufficient amount to roast, grind and brew it.
This year two of my 8 bushes are producing a large crop and tonight I FINALLY made coffee. I used an old vintage Melitta roaster, a BURR grinder and brewed just like store bought.
What a surprise! it had an almost nutty flavor, and I've read that the taste changes a lot with longer or shorter roasting times.
Now when I watch TV, I busy myself pulling the skins off and preparing them for roasting. It's a PITA but worth it! When all of my bushes are producing I'll have to find a better method of husking the cherries though, any suggestions?
Most on the ones that are producing now were larger than yours when I bought them.
I have half in full sun and the rest in shade. The ones in sun seem to produce more and grow faster. Mine are in the ground a bit over 3 years and are 4'-5' tall.
Be patient, they take off around 3 years if they're in the ground and get enough water.

Europe's Last Chance to Get it Right
As Europe's leaders gather this week to tackle its economic woes, it is useful to take a step back and remember how and why Europe got here.
Even as Nazi bombs rained down on London in 1940, French economist and war munitions man Jean Monnet was planning for the integration of Germany into a united Europe. This was no flight of fancy or act of forgiveness by the man widely credited as the architect of Europe. It was a pragmatist's assessment of how to make sure that after this war ended, a similar catastrophe would be unthinkable in Europe ever again.
Monnet's success – and Europe's success – has been so great, that we take the peace it created for granted today.

Things I liked:Realistic 1911 experience (minus the heavy recoil and noise loud enough to require hearing protection). Fun to shoot, seemingly pretty accurate too. Blow back is cool and adds realism to the experience. I will be using this to train a friend on range safety and gun handling techniques. Certainly a LOT less expensive than firing the real thing! Happy with this purchase! :)
Things I would have changed:It would be nice if the CO2 cartridges lasted longer but understandably the blow back feature uses gas more rapidly than a non-blowback gun would.
What others should know:I got about 68 shots out of one CO2 cartridge. I say 'about' because I didn't think to count until after I emptied the cartridge. I BELIEVE I recovered every BB out of my trap/backstop, but a few might have escaped. I can say for certain I got 3 full clips plus a most of the 4th out of it.
Things I liked:I liked everything, It is full metal and blow-back giving it a realistic feel.
Things I would have changed:it is a little bit pricey, other than that it's great.
What others should know:do not use this gun outside if it is below freezing, our is it will ruin your mag.
Things I liked:Very much like my real Colt 1911, This metal gun has a lot of realism, great blowback action, very accurate
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:Uses more Co2 of course than a non blowback 1911.

Will we be seeing more compensation than a 10 win IP boost for the nearly four day outage, missing champions, and missing runes?
The next person who complains about two hour queue times is gonnabe shot. FOUR HOURS. That is unacceptable

Still, I understand. I have faith in you Riot, keep up good work. Also on a side note, any word on if there will be similar bad ass skins for other champions besides Ezreal? I would love a pulsefire'ish version for Teemo.

As a homeschool mom, my daughter & I have attended shows for the past 3years. I love the incredible variety of the professional shows:
fables, favorite children's books, history, science, dances, even math!
My daughter loves seeing her favorite books or interests (like dancing)
come alive with the actors, their costumes and all around fun! It really enriches the learning with an exciting field trip. Sometimes we read before about the subject before the show; sometimes after. Either way,
the downloadable resource material on the website is excellent too.
For example, one of her favorites was the Step Afrika dancing troupe.
Besides their great dancing, they taught the audience how to do some steps and emphasize the importance of education and grades!
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
attending shows which are well organized; the seating is quick and efficient!

More shows!
January 21, 2011
I have been working for several years now as an usher and board member for Arts on Stage. This nonprofit company brings great theater productions to school -aged children around the Baltimore area. These productions have included music, dance, children's literature, historical figures, and science. I have watched the excitement of children who are attending their first theatrical production, and it is contagious. Teachers and home-schooling parents are also provided with a study guide for the performance so follow-up can be done back at the school setting. Those involved in choosing the productions are very in-tune with the curriculum used in the public schools of the area so as to provide an educational as well as cultural experience. Presently the productions are held at Goucher College and Chesapeake Art Center.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
positive words from students, parents, and teachers who have attended a show.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
hope for funding to come available to more schools to be able to pay for the cost of buses for a field trip such as this.

When to apply Pre Emergent?

I live in New York City, i was wondering when to apply Pre Emergent and when my grass should start growing. At the moment it is raining (expecting 2-4 inches of rain). The weeks temps are in the mid 50s, and night time temps of around 40-45. My grass type is a mix of Kentucky Bluegrass with Perrenial Ryegrass

Candidates Sued By Patent Troll For Using Facebook 138
from the status:-not-gonna-happen dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Here is the plaintiff's website [everymd.com].
Golly, I haven't seen a website using frameset/frame since 2000.
This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.
Joking aside, there's this noteworthy paragraph from their February 21, 2012 [everymd.com] news release:
According to EveryMD's attorney Frank Weyer, the timing of Facebook's IPO Prospectus could not have been better. "Earlier in the litigation, we had offered our patent to Facebook for a minimal fee, representing a one-time fee of less than $.02 per Facebook member at the time--an almost negligible amount given the vast sums of money that Facebook intends to make off its users," says Weyer. "Instead, Facebook rejected that offer and tried to overwhelm us with their team of high-priced attorneys. We are now pleased that Facebook did not take us up on our earlier offer. Thanks to Facebook's IPO prospectus, we realize our earlier offer was greatly undervalued. It will now take a substantially higher sum to resolve this ongoing patent dispute."
Actually, this fellow seems interesting. Having read into a few articles, I saw this interesting snippet:
Prior to law school, Weyer was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Lesotho and now works as a volunteer engineer in Antarctic expeditions.
and this:
In an earlier case Weyer sued Network Solutions and Register.com for violating his patent on the selection of an e-mail address based on a domain name. He has also sued Harley Davidson, Bosch, and MySpace. Those cases have all settled.
It seems more like this guy is fraking the system over to allow him the freedom to go out and make a difference. You know, if I had a way to pick the pockets of fat cats while giving me the time to spend volunteering in third world countries or doing explorative expeditions - I just might.
I for one hope this rejection is overturned. This patent is no less valid than countless other business method patents or software patents, such as the one-click patent, and prior art is irrelevant, as again, countless other patents have prior art yet are approved by the USPTO. This patent needs to be approved so this guy can get busy suing the Presidential candidates and lots of other politicians, and maybe then we'll finally have some real reform of the patent system.
How about "small company temporarily patents the obvious and loses a lot of money to lawyers" instead then? That's where this is going; the fact that they do have a product just means they can be counter-sued to death, a problem true patent trolls are immune to.
Can't be sympathetic for the small company when it's yet another variation on the " but on the web now!" patent nonsense. The idea that this was novel is 2007 makes the one-click ordering patent look like genius innovation; at least that hadn't been going on for a decade, all over the world, by the time of filing. I had a database-backed web site communicating among groups of people (the various divisions of my employer being one set) with an e-mail to FAX gateway in 1995. It was new then, but even at that point I considered it an obvious step, once the infrastructure was available.
Committees have become so important nowadays that subcommittees have to be appointed to do the work.

It has been more than four years since Young Dro released his debut Best Thang Smoking, and we are still waiting (some, at least) on his long-delayed follow-up P.O.L.O. (Players Only Live Once). Though the new album still doesn't have a release date, Dro continues to leak potential singles to the net. The latest? The Trouble-produced, Polo Down.

McConnell on Obamacare: Change May Come As Some Senate Democrats Seek Mandate Delay
U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell says the key to repealing the Affordable Care Act will take gaining a republican majority in the U.S. Senate and electing a republican president.
McConnell hosted a town hall on Obamacare at Murray Calloway County Hospital today. Although, the odds of repeal are slim in the coming years McConnell thinks there will be some changes made to the law.
"I think you're going to see more and more democrats stand up and say I may have voted for this is but I'm not sure it is working out like it should," said McConnell. "Just yesterday for example two senate democrats came out for a 1 year delay in the individual mandate."
McConnell is referring to Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.)
The senator's comments come as the federal government is working to repair the online exchange site that has been riddled with glitches. But, Kentucky's Governor is touting his state-run exchange as a success with more than 18-thousand people enrolled.
McConnell took no questions from the press following the event.

The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) will begin construction on the Santa Clara-Alum Rock Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project on Friday. The BRT line will be the of three BRT projects planned for Santa Clara County. "The Santa Clara-Alum Rock BRT Line will connect the culturally rich, east San Jose neighborhoods to downtown's art, entertainment, retail, restaurants, business and residential districts. This upgraded transit service will enhance the economic viability, visual identity, and the pedestrian and business environment of the corridor," said Ash Kalra, VTA board chairperson and San Jose City Council member. This state-of-the-art transit option will provide passengers with faster, more frequent service from the Eastridge Transit Center to the future Arena Station near the San Jose Diridon Transit Center in downtown San Jose. Limited stops, 10-minute frequencies, all-door boarding, traffic signal priority that holds green lights longer for approaching buses, and a dedicated median bus-only lane will improve travel time for customers.
New articulated hybrid vehicles with modern interiors and onboard Wi-Fi will offer a comfortable, convenient and productive new way to travel.The 7.2-mile project features 11 new, light rail-like stations along Capitol Expressway, Alum Rock Avenue, and Santa Clara Street with off-board ticketing machines, attractive shelters, enhanced lighting, and real-time information signage. In addition, pedestrian improvements, signal upgrades, new streetlights, new landscaping and roadway resurfacing will be implemented throughout the corridor."This is our opportunity to set the stage for bus rapid transit and the many benefits this service can offer other important transportation corridors like El Camino Real and Stevens Creek Boulevard," said VTA GM Nuria Fernandez. "Let this be a shining example of our commitment to deliver innovative transit options for residents and visitors of Santa Clara County — options that will help change the transportation landscape as we envision it for Silicon Valley."The vision is that by late 2015, VTA will be operating high-amenity rapid transit buses through downtown and east San Jose from the newly reconstructed Eastridge Transit Center, connecting passengers and the community to the regional transit system, future Bay Area Rapid Transit District service and planned light rail service in the corridor once funding is identified.
ABQ RIDE is looking to model its plan after the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority's HealthLine, which is sponsored through a hospital partnership. Construction on the so-called ART system could begin in May 2016 with an in-service date of September 2017.
The service, which costs $6 a ride, asks riders to download the Leap app, creating an account, uploading a photo and adding a credit card that enables them to pay via a QR code.
Agencies ordering the company's products, which are now in at least half of all new U.S. and Canadian transit buses, include L.A. Metro, Chicago Transit Authority and New York City Transit.
The contract includes a firm order for 35 XN40 and 20 XN60 Xcelsior buses, with an option for another 150 XN40 and 100 XN60 over the next five years. All buses are to be powered by CNG.
The decision comes after the agency conducted an analysis and product review period. Implementation of the project began in February and all work is expected to be completed by the end of April.
