WBGO In South Africa 1: Lesedi Cultural Village
March 22, 2015. Posted by Simon Rentner.Add new comment | Filed under: Jazz Alive, Rhonda Hamilton, Simon Rentner, South Africa
We did it! Rhonda Hamilton, twenty-five lucky WBGO members and I are super-excited to be in the Rainbow Nation, South Africa.
This is the first peek at our adventures, so buckle in and enjoy the ride!
Our first stop: Lesedi Cultural Village. "Lesedi" means "place of light" in Basotho, one of South Africa's main tribal languages.
This UNESCO World Heritage Site is in the heart of South Africa's characteristic bushveld and rocky hills, about 50 kilometers northwest of Johannesburg. It offers a peek into the lifestyles of the Basotho, Zulu, Xhosa, Pedi, and Ndebele tribes.
Our charismatic tour guide gives us a quick lesson in Zulu, the dominant ethnic group in South Africa - about 80 percent of the population.
He also explains that in some tribes, a man is allowed more than one wife - depending on how many cows he owns. Our WBGO group is more women than men, but we all scoff when our guide says one powerful Zulu leader had sixty wives.
One of the highlights, or should I say, "high sights" of our tour is this tall gentleman, who stands guard in front of Lesedi's Zulu village. On cue, we collectively chant a request for entry, in the Zulu tongue. He grants our request.
Some of the ladies linger and repeat this exercise; I hear one of them say, "That fine man can guard my village any day of the week."
Our guide offers us a staple dish, which may surprise many Westerners. Caterpillars! Yes, these creepy crawlers are very high in protein, rooty, and can be delicious when sautéed with onions and peppers.
Most in our group decide to pass on this culinary adventure - but I can say these salty, chewy treats can be good - as long as you erase the image of a creepy crawler from your mind.
Our first adventure ends with a thunderous bang – a show-stopping performance of rhythm, song, and dance by the village's folkloric dance troupe. To watch a video of this, click on the image above.
The Lesedi Village shows us "the light" of how our recent, and maybe even our ancient, ancestors lived, in the Cradle of Humankind. It should be noted that this locale has produced some of the oldest hominid fossils ever found, some dating back as far as 3.5 million years.
Yes, we've arrived in The Motherland, indeed. And we can't wait to see more!

Behind The SFJAZZ Collective's Original Approach To Joe Henderson
March 19, 2015Add new comment | Filed under: A Blog Supreme, Jazz Night In America: The Radio ProgramThe SFJAZZ Collective: (L-R) Avishai Cohen, Matt Penman, Obed Calvaire, Miguel Zenón, David Sánchez, Robin Eubanks, Warren Wolf, Edward Simon. (Image Credit: Jay Blakesberg/Courtesy of SFJAZZ)
The SFJAZZ Collective, an all-star octet representing the SFJAZZ institution in San Francisco, has an intriguing approach to repertoire. Each year, each member writes a new piece for the Collective, and also rearranges a composition by a modern jazz master. For the 2014-15 season, that master was tenor saxophone titan Joe Henderson, a longtime San Francisco resident.
Jazz Night In America goes behind the creation of the ensemble's new repertoire, with music from a four-night concert run in October of last year (now collected on the double-CD release Live: SFJAZZ Center 2014). Hear Joe Henderson classics reimagined, as well as new work from artists like saxophonist David Sánchez and trombonist Robin Eubanks.Copyright 2015 NPR. To see more, visit http://www.npr.org/.

Transform an unfinished wooden frame, purchased at a craft store, into a high-end, boutique-style embellished frame.
- Purple duct tape or paint
- Purple, pink or white ribbon
- 1" roll of Treasure Tape
- Kreinik #12 Braid metallic thread in 012 Purple, 026 Amethyst, 100 White, 023 Lilac, 093 Star Mauve
- Purple or pink yarn scraps
- Buttons
- Unfinished wooden frame
- Diamond Beadlets®
- Shallow pan or tray
Cover wooden frame with purple duct tape, or paint the entire frame purple.
Use 1" roll of Treasure Tape, one strip at a time, to cover frame completely.
Peel back the tape's red liner to expose the sticky area.
Use buttons to decorate the sides of your frame.
Use ribbon, metallic thread, yarn or anything else you desire to decorate the top. You can zigzag, curl or coil for a variety of techniques.
- Dip in Diamond Beadlets® to cover all exposed sticky areas.
- When applying "stringy embellishments" like ribbon, embroidery threads and fibers to double-sided Treasure Tape, you can easily pull up the design and start again if you make a mistake or want to try a different design. When using red liner Treasure Tape it is best to cut with Teflon-coated scissors -- or use adhesive remover to wipe the residue off your scissors.

Sox Streak Reaches 5 Games

So why not try this(Match) in this day and age, we have this whole new venue to "meet" people and learn about them very informally, easily, and non-traditionally. I have known others that have enjoyed it and been to weddings where the couples met here. And,at a minimum you meet people you ordinarly would never have met, and get other perspectives on things to do and local knowledge. So-Why not? Having recently begun a life where I can now enjoy the fruits of my labors and work very parttime. Worked hard and long, remaining and even increasing a very active lifestyle and enjoying life while still relatively young and in good health. Lots to do! Mostly empty nest now. They ask, short description of me. That would be objective?? I am motivated, busy, charming, witty, etc. etc. Didn't get here sitting on the couch. In fact I spend a great deal of my time now enjoying some places I have acquired along the way. I also enjoy traveling and the travails of having those projects. Love the outdoors and all it has to offer including, boating, both types of skiing, fishing, turtling, waverunning, snowmobiling, motorcycling, ATVing, Working and playing on my Hobby farm partially Fed funded, Buccaneers football(2nd row), Twins Spring training, boating, Paddle Tennis (Pickleball), tennis, biking, snorkling, traveling, golf, swimming laps, working out, and motorcycling. Gotta stay in shape for it and so I do. Can still clean up pretty well or put on the tank top and swimsuit. I am solar powered. Life is too short to not go for almost all you can, while you can. Seen too many who didn't or haven't and now can't. Don't sweat the small stuff, and it all is pretty much small stuff. As for what I am looking for, I believe shared interests are important but not essential. But opposites can attract. Since they ask the question I would have to answer that the person should be independent, financially responsible, in shape, care about their appearance, and enjoy travel including road trips. This is just about meeting people casually and maybe there will be more which is an exciting prospect. Now with a lot more time, I look forward to seeing if that one person really does exist. Won't be disappointed, perplexed maybe, but not disappointed. It's worth a try. I did this Match thing before, having been given a gift subsciption, and recieved a lot of e-mails from women out of my target age range, out of the country, scammers, and even men, not to mention countless "winks". Please don't waste your time and mine. Thanks for reading this. And if you read this far, then you will now know that I, like many others will not respond to "Winks". A short note or hello will suffice. Or just say "Hey". It's too easy to wink and requires no thought. That's a wrap.

Good job - thank you. Maybe it has sense to highlight word which has only one occurrence in different color. Plus is it possible to make ticks on line-numbers bar those will indicate where highlighted words are?
A different color to highlighting the word when there is only one occurence
may be confusing. Consider following use-case:
1. You open a file with 999 lines,
The editor shows you lines 1..70.
You may scroll down, to see other lines, but
now you only see lines 1..70.
What should the output be?
[A] The plugin uses a different color.
[B] The plugin uses the color it uses when you have several occurences
visible in the editor.
Okay. This was the concern that a different color may be confusing.
There is another concern with implementing a different color for the plugin.
Here it goes. Currently, each time a word is selected, the plugin searches
the selection only in the visible text, using the Knuth–Morris–Pratt algorithm.
Doing this, the operation of highlighting all visible occurences is hopefully
fast enough so that the editor does not block while doing the highlighting.
If we try to use a different color to highlight the occurrence when there is
only one occurrence, then we may want to search all file. Searching all
file may slow down the editor. Okay. This was the concern about
needing to search all file.
How is best to interpret that word has only one sentence?
Say file is:
01. sky
02. sun
03. sky
Say you select word 'sky', in line 3.
Should we define that 'sky' has only one occurrence?
(The occurence in line 1.)
[1] ◐ - start verbatim
[2] ◑ - end verbatim
[3] In the verbatim section, each line is numbered.
I think that it is possible to make ticks on the line-numbers bar
so that the ticks indicate where highlighted words are.
I consider adding this feature in a 'fork' to the plugin, hosted
as a demo in the https://sourceforge.net/projects/herebesoftware/
project. Why there? I would like to keep the
plugin as simple as possible. However, if this feature is
useful (I guess it may be if you are editing files with long long
lines), then why not write the feature.
For long long lines, maybe line wrapping helps.
Okay. The plan is to add feature in a demo pluging hosted
in https://sourceforge.net/projects/herebesoftware/.
I do not know when I would have this done, but when I do, my
plan is to add a post here, to give a link to the demo plugin.

Posted September 7, 2001
As a young female scientist, I found that this book shed some light onto my dreams and made me realize that maybe being a scientist really doesn't have to be a choice between a career and a family. The book painted a realistic picture of what it is like to be a research scientist and gave a detailed description of what many different types of women felt about family and how they handled children and husbands and colleagues. There was also a good thread between the different generations of women that made me feel included in the history of so many women and in the future of even more women. With a bit of work, it will become easier for women to become eminent women in science. I highly recommended this book to my fellow students here at Wesleyan College as well as faculty and staff.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

Hyacynths - to repot or not to repot...
My son got me a hyacynth that is already blooming. There are three plants in a fairly small container. The blooms are already leaning (popsickle sticks are doing wonders), but everything looks healthy. Should I repot the blooming plants in a larger pot now? I have never worked with bulbs before, and do container/balcony gardening, so can't just go plant it outside. Any help would be great.
I wouldn't recommend repotting now if that means you will pull the bulbs apart. You will likely finish the blooms off prematurely, though it probably wouldn't damage the bulbs. You actually could take these outside to your balcony. I grow hyacinths in pots on my front porch every winter and you're further south than I am. They'd probably like the additional sun. If you think they're in danger of freezing due to the small pot, just lift the whole soil clump out of the small container and ease it into one of your larger pots for the rest of the winter. Be sure to let the foliage ripen and turn brown before you cut it back. This allows the bulb time to make baby blooms that will appear next year. You'll need to save the bulbs and chill them in your fridge next fall for 8 to 10 weeks before re-planting. (This is why alot of hyacinth bulbs, and tulips, too, get thrown out and re-planted each year. Whether it's worth the trouble is your call.)
There's a lot of different areas included in a zone 8 and whether or not you'll need to prechill these bulbs before replanting next fall will depend on exactly where you are located. I have a pot of hyacinths pretty much exactly as you describe that have been sitting (in the exact same pot) since last spring, first in my carport and now on my back porch and they are beginning to sprout both foliage and the start of a flower bud. I meant to plant them out in the garden, but an injury this summer prevented me from doing as much gardening activity as I would have liked. Otherwise, Donna's advice is dead-on.
ps. Donna, some zone 8's are pretty far north :-)) I'm further north than Maine!!
I can't speak to any zone 8 except my own, which is on the Georgia/Florida/Alabama line. I force hyacinths every year. Once chilled, forced and bloomed, I plant them in the ground when the blossoms fade.
Subsequent years, they continue to bloom planted in the ground, without chill except as provided by nature. The first year in the ground, blooms will be smaller, but in rich soil, they recover well.
Blooming now, in stones and water. Will be planted in the ground.
Whoops! I did it again, Gardengal! You are so right, and you're getting a winter alot more like Maine's than mine this year too!
Folks, please post your state for the old and absentminded among us. :)
Foxes, I am very interested in your post. What type of soil do you have? I left some hyacinths in the ground last year as an experiment and they didn't even come up this year. Mine is well amended clay.
Sandy, very sandy loam. I garden on the Coastal Plain in a sandpile that used to be the bottom of the sea. My stones have seashell fossils. The garden has fifty years of cow manure added, oak leaves chopped, cotton trash, whatever I could add, but no clay, except 2 feet down. Everywhere I put hyacinths, I try to make sure they're not going to stand in water, ever.
Depending on the cultivar, yours may make it out of the ground, yet, Donna. Not all mine come up at the same time, and they're still coming up in places. Delft Blue is just starting to bloom; China Pink came up ahead of those. None of the Pink Pearl have bloomed yet, nor are all of them up. Blue Jacket is a late one, as is Gypsy Queen. The whites are late, the yellows are, too.
China Pink
Delft Blue
(Imagine a very quiet voice here) I would pot on and I would NOT separate the bulbs at this point.
A pot an inch bigger all round and, if it's the usual shallow misery of a pot that they arrived in, one that's about two inches deeper. If the bulbs are visible I'd lightly cover them but leave the stems free.
If they've been inside and frost-free I'd probably start to harden them off by putting them out on fine days for morning sun, or rainy days, and into shelter for the night.
If I was going to take them out and dry-store over summer I'd be watching the pots. When the leaves die down I'd leave them for a week or two more. The roots often haven't finished even when the leaves have. When I took them out I'd put them in a mesh container and store them in a cool airy place with a permanent label in the container to remind me about what they are.
Then I'd put a date in the diary to replant in good time.
Otherwise I'd leave the pot in a cool place over summer where it wouldn't drought out. Excess dry tends to shrivel the bulbs. If you don't get summer rain and you do get high temperatures, maintaining a moderate in-pot temperature is important.
One way of doing this is to plunge the pot either into a plunge bed in the garden or into a cachepot arrangement (bigger pot with a packing of some sort of insulation material between the walls of the big pot and the outside of the smaller pot.) Pebbles can be useful and aren't as messy as polystyrene. Add them on the top to keep the weeds off, too.
My hyacinths are just starting to grow. Our zone 8 out here has so much less sun and warmth than the zone 8 in the SE US.
I never repot store bought potted bulbs. I enjoy them and then plant them out. You can plant them out in containers if you don't have a yard. I have many bulbs in containers, some have been in the same one for years. Mostly because I'm too lazy to bust it all up and plant them.

Vanilla Content: 2%
Discolors but stays clear in liquid soap.
Performance in Cold Process Soap: Scent is very faint in cold process soap. Will discolor brown.
As of October 2014, this fragrance was reformulated to be Phthalate Free!

Terah from Bramble Berry replies...Hi Christi! I'm so glad you love the smell of our Island Coconut Fragrance Oil. Though, it definitely loses its sweeter notes when used in cold process soap. For a coconut scent that sticks in CP much better try our Coconut Cream Fragrance Oil.
Reply from Bramble Berry Hi Steve! I'm sorry this fragrance wasn't your favorite. We love the straight and heavenly coconut sent. It's also a bestseller of ours and is even in our top 20 selling fragrance oils! If you're looking for tropical fragrances you might like Coconut Cream Fragrance Oil, Mango Mango Fragrance Oil, or Pikake Flower Fragrance Oil.
Reply from Bramble BerryHi Michelle! I'm sorry this fragrance wasn't your favorite. We love the straight coconut scent. If you're looking for tropical scents, you may like Tropical Vacation Fragrance Oil, Papaya Coconut Fragrance Oil or Tropical Punch Fragrance Oil.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
05 Dec 2011 09:45 GMT | Politics, Business & Economy, US & Canada, Afghanistan, Iraq
Robert Naiman is Policy Director at Just Foreign Policy.
On Wednesday night, the Senate adopted by voice vote an amendment introduced by Oregon Democrat Jeff Merkley calling on President Obama to speed up US military withdrawal from Afghanistan. This was a watershed event towards ending the war. The previous high-water mark of senators calling for expedited withdrawal was 27; the previous high-water mark on a vote was 18. The vote is a green light from the Senate to the White House for a faster military withdrawal that would save many American and Afghan lives and (at least) many tens of billions of taxpayer dollars.
Because it was a voice vote, there was no roll call. But, if you want to know who especially to thank, 21 senators sponsored Merkley's amendment:
Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR); Sen. Mike
Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR); Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT); Sen. Tom Udall (D-NM); Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY); Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH); Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT); Sen. Mark Begich (D-AK); Sen. Jeff Bingaman (D-NM); Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA); Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD); Sen. Kent Conrad (D-ND); Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL); Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY); Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA); Sen. Pat Leahy (D-VT); Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV); Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) ; Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV); Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT); Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY); Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI).
The Senate vote - which saw John McCain standing alone in vocal opposition - is more evidence that on key issues of war and military spending, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, John McCain, Lindsay Graham and Buck McKeon haven't been speaking for Republicans generally. Big media should take note, and make more room on their playlists for Republicans like Rand Paul, Walter Jones, Justin Amash, Tim Johnson and Grover Norquist, who want to turn a corner on a decade of endless war and unchecked military spending.
In the Republican presidential debates - on Iraq, Afghanistan, and military spending - Romney, Gingrich and most of the other Republicans (not Ron Paul, of course) have mostly sung from the old-time Republican hymnal. On the Sunday talk shows, on Iraq, Afghanistan, and military spending, McCain and Graham and McKeon - the go-to Republicans for big media on military issues - have sung from the old-time Republican hymnal.
But meanwhile, on Iraq, Afghanistan, and military spending, the great sea of Republicans has been doing Vatican II.
On Iraq, Romney, Gingrich (Gingrich was for it before he was against it) and the other Republican candidates - not Ron Paul - slammed President Obama for withdrawing US troops in compliance with President Bush's Status of Forces Agreement. But 63 per cent of Republicans told CBS that they agreed with President Obama's decision.
On military spending, Romney has demanded that President Obama block cuts to projected military spending. (Gingrich, to his credit, has dodged the neocon loyalty oath on opposition to cuts in military spending.) But when Congress passed the Budget Control Act, and when the "Super Committee" failed to reach agreement on a deficit-reduction deal that would block half a trillion dollars in automatic cuts to projected military spending over 10 years from taking effect, that reflected the majority of Republicans in Congress saying: we prefer military cuts to increased taxes.
(For a recent taste of how overripe the military budget is for cuts, read Ben Freeman's account for the Project on Government Oversight on how Defence Secretary Gates' efforts to stop the wasteful and expensive over-promotion of generals have been reversed under former "budget hawk" Defence Secretary Panetta.)
On Afghanistan, Romney and McCain have slammed President Obama for pulling US troops out faster than the Pentagon wants. But Wednesday night, the Senate said: "We think you aren't pulling out the troops fast enough." (Note that a new Rasmussen poll says that three in five Americans want US troops out of Afghanistan immediately or within a year.)
It's time for big media to recognise that on Iraq, Afghanistan, and military spending, Romney, Gingrich, McCain, Graham and McKeon are generals who have lost their Republican army. They rage like King Lear. But they have lost their kingdom.
And it's time for President Obama to bring our boys and girls home from Afghanistan.

Hi,Is anyone thinking about how to adapt your gardens to drought conditions or are you thinking this year is just an anomaly ?
I have a large daylily collection & I've gotten rid of a lot of them & have plans to cut down further.I don't want to spend the summer dragging hoses.A person may need that water for drinking someday.
I might even use Gray water from washer and sump-pump. See how much $$$ for Sand Point.I did order things to put in containers. To make them even more self-watering. And got even more soaking hoses. And even more mulch.Got spikes you can add to Pop quart bottle drips water to plants.Use green bottles. Paint butterfly,etc to make them pretty.
I guess you might say I've been ready for this for some time now cause this has always been my only water supply for all my outside plants for 8 years now. The picture is when we first put it in place I had put rain gutters up to catch the rain water from our 30 X 60 foot shed plus the roof from the leanto. I catch enough from the early spring rains that it does last me a long long time.

Pro/Specialty Retailer of the Year: NYC Racquet Sports
A few years ago, just before the economy went belly up, Woody Schneider decided to open up a fourth tennis retail location in New York City. Everything was in place to sign the papers, then the economy crashed. But Woody decided, rather than let people go and pull back from the deal, to "give it a go."
The 2,000-square-foot space, NYC Racquet Sports on 35th Street between Broadway and Seventh Avenue, is now the "flagship" store for Schneider and his partner, Joan Dziena. About 18 years ago, Schneider started Grand Central Racquet as a small kiosk in a corridor of New York's Grand Central Terminal. Then he expanded to a second store in Midtown Manhattan. Six years ago he added the pro shop at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens.
"Growth in the tennis retail market is tough by anyone's definition," says Greg Mason, Head/Penn's vice president of sales and marketing. "But Woody has been growing his business and expanding, and competing successfully." So successfully, in fact, that NYC Racquet Sports — along with the three other locations — are RSI's 2010 Pro/Specialty Retailer of the Year.
"I still think of myself as that 80-square-foot guy," says Schneider, who credits Dziena and her retail and marketing talents with making expansion possible. The four stores currently have about 10 employees. "The employee part of my business is my favorite thing. I still get calls from people who worked for me 18 years ago."
"It really was a building-block process," adds Dziena. "We took some risks and had many challenges, and learned from making mistakes. Now, every month has been better than the last."
Tips for success
- "I try to be myself," says Schneider. "If something doesn't seem fair to me, I voice my opinion. I think the reps respect me for that."
- Maintain good relationships with companies and sales reps. "I definitely feel we're in this together," says Schneider.
- Learn from your mistakes. "It's how businesses grow," says Dziena.

What is happening to my daisies?
Plants overall look pretty good, but lately the flowers look like they are being eaten and the yellow center is turning brown.
Also, there are a few leaves that have turned brown, but nothing too serious yet, although it does look like more of the leaves may be starting to turn brown.
I seen a beetle on the yellow center today. Took picture, but it came out very fuzzy. See picture here.
Some of the flowers are missing half of their petals and do not look good at all.
Have seen some small flies on them. I looked for Aphids but I cannot tell. I heard you can spray a steady stream of water to knock them off.
I don't know if this is a disease or pests. Any home made solutions for diseases? Would Dawn dish washing soap and water do it?
Any home made solutions for pests?
What you are seeing is the bane of my gardening existence. It is an oriental beetle, I'm pretty sure (photo is blurry) and they absolutely decimate my daisies, to the point where I may take them all out. Not to be confused with asiatic beetles. Your daisy actually looks pristine compared to most of mine. I'm not sure if they are eating/bothering your foliage as well, but the bloom damage is probably from them.
If there is something to be done about them, I don't know what it is yet, unfortunately. They also love daylilies, but don't do quite as much damage, IMO, probably because the bloom is only there for a day anyway. They also like to get stuck in your hair so you can find them there an hour after you are in the house. Yuck, I hate these things!

I have bricked my LG G2 (D802) and installed the stock image with the LG flash tool. Now, I don't have a recovery anymore (I press volume down and power on boot but it doesn't open a recovery, just tells me in the left corner that I'm in security mode).
Also, the biggest problem here is, that if I boot my LG G2, I can't use it. There is all the time a message popping up that com.android.phone was shut down, I can't do anything.
I want to wipe the phone completely but don't have a clue how. My computer doesn't recognize the booted phone, it's just working in download mode. But I can't install the recovery from download mode.
Could someone please help me?

Northwoods Destination
Simply Amazing
Oct 13, 2010 07:50 am
I was looking for a very last minute vacation idea for our family before the kids went back to school. I thought I had a big wish list but Gary and Marie exceeded all of our expectations. The kids had a blast with Daisy and Pepper (they really are the most incredible dogs I have seen) and the resort beach was great! We spent alot of timing kayaking and canoeing right on the lake and even did a little fishing. The kids were never bored and I always knew they were safe. The resort had several different play areas with everything from basketball to ping pong. We especially enjoyed our family time at the bonfires and Marie taught us how to make fruit pies over the campfie--YUM! We've never considered a winter Ely vacation but Gary has us convinced that it would be great and the kids can't wait to go sledding with Daisy.
Clean doesn't begin to describe our cabin. I wasn't sure what to expect in classic northwoods cabin that was built in the 40s but it was great. Well maintained, updated, good beds and the kitchen was stocked and supply to exceed my needs. Marie thinks of everything and even helped me with the few items that I forgot to pack.
Thank you Gary and Marie for making this our most memorable family vacation ever. We can't wait to return.

I spent hours of head scratching and have now found out what the problem is. Right click on the Adobe Reader Icon on the desktop. Select properties and then the compatibility tab.

Persistent Storage sounds like a tautology to me. Been used as I am (was?) to Hard Disks, USB keys, DVDs, and all other possible way to store information, it seems that storage is persistent by definition, and only failures, or human errors can cause non-persistent and catastrophic behavior . Well, in IaaS terminology, Storage comes in different flavors and can also be Ephemeral.
Storage Types
Eucalyptus follows the AWS API and with that API comes 3 Storage types:
- Buckets (provided by Walrus),
- Elastic Block Storage (EBS) Volumes (provided by the Storage Controller),
- Ephemeral (provided by the Node Controller).
Our Storage Team, started a wiki to dig into the technical aspect of the different storage types: stay tune on GitHub for more in depth technical dive on how they have been implemented.
Of the above list, two are meant to be persistent (i.e. to persist across instance termination): Volumes and Buckets. Two provides the familiar block interface (i.e. they appear and are used as Hard Disks): Volumes and Ephemeral. One is designed to be massively scalable: Buckets. And one is meant to be temporary: Ephemeral.
Instances and Storage
Instances by default are sitting on Ephemeral Storage. Uploaded images (EMIs) are the master copies, and all instances will start as a fresh copy of the that very image. All changes made to the instance (e.g. packages installed, configuration, application data) will disappear once the instance terminates. Notice that the termination of an instance can be voluntary (i.e. the Cloud User issue a terminate-instance command) or accidental (e.g. the hardware running the instance fail, or the software within the instance fails badly). This kind of instances are called instance store.
Instances can also use Volumes for their root file system: they are aptly called boot from EBS instance. In this case, at instance creation, a Volume is cloned from a specific EMI snapshot. The instance will then have exclusive access to this Volume, throughout its lifetime, allowing for stopping and re-starting without loss of any changes made. The instance can be restarted wherever the Volume is available (i.e. EBS Storage is only available on a cluster basis, or availability zone), and its performance is driven by the Volume performance (e.g. network speed to a SAN, or DAS serviced by the Storage Controller).
The main different in Storage speed between instance store and boot from EBS, is a trade between speed of the local disk (in the case of instance store), and the speed of accessing a SAN (or DAS) across a network. Things gets more complicated when multiple instances competes for shared resource (e.g. common disks on a Node Controller, or network access to the SAN).
Cloud Admin
Ephemeral is served by the Node Controller. Sizing the physical storage subsystem for the expected number and type of instances is needed to ensure the full load can be achieved. Also, with the current multi-cores CPUs, quite a few instances can run on the same Node Controller. Too many concurrent disk requests can easily overwhelm the Node Controller's host, causing instances to time out, or unpredictable and erratic behavior: the storage subsystem needs to be properly tested for the expected concurrent load.

Shroud of Turin
We Request That Pope Francis Allow Sophisticated and Minimally-Invasive Scientific Testing to be Performed on theShroud of Turin.
Since 1978, thousands of scientific tests and experiments have been performed on this famous burial cloth and its samples. Significantly, only one of these results ― its medieval radiocarbon dating ― is inconsistent with the Shroud's authenticity as Jesus' burial garment. Examining the Shroud, its blood marks and other samples from the cloth at the molecular and atomic levels could prove that the radiocarbon dating attributed to the Shroud is inherently incorrect and that an unprecedented event happened to the dead man wrapped inside of this burial cloth.
We respectfully request that Pope Francis allow new tests on the Shroud of Turin. These tests would include the new technology summarized above and described in more detail in articles throughout the www.testtheshroud.com web site. These new tests would yield the most detailed information ever acquired from the cloth, while testing every explanation for the Shroud's radiocarbon dating and image forming hypotheses that have been proposed.
Radiocarbon test update required. PLus sampling from center of shroud to avoid 'Contamination
from repairs.......

Thank you film makers of documentary "Unwrapping The Shroud: New Evidence" for bringing to light compelling new information. Retesting needs to be done!
