Does not matter. Just like the dream green, new school etc. The city will TAKE or GET what they want.
they will find the money or cry to the state or feds. Or the city of Bonding...
Sorry Northampton does not have bump out in the city. Go up there and drive. I see just painted crosswalks. Now that elm is a dust mess and will be for months, as I have stated for over 1 year. I will just skip downtown and go around it via shaker. Not worth the crosswalk and the 5 to 10 lights every 1,250 feet.
Parking is great when you have to park your car in a alley and home it is not stop or broken into. If you like finding a spot etc great. Not me. I am sure the bridge etc will be dug up (again) soon enough.
overide it..no way. Figure out a way to pay the bills. Sorry but the CC you stated should not be voted out why? They only get like $900 a month pay....
Might be a better option. My kids have come home ALOT saying we watched this and that in school...My issue is do NOT throw more $$$ at it and start cutting items not needed. Same with the city depts.
Giggit- whom in this city do NOT pay under $5K a year? #2 is I would welcome flaherty on the ballot. Problem is this city has no a balance the books mayor in years.
I will be there tomorrow...lets see how great it is...
Give me a break? So not all the poorly funded school kids get a poor job after leaving school? What a crock. I know both sides that do great and not so great.
I know many people that mow lawns etc and make over 100K. Same with detailing cars. Throwing money at education does not get (aka buy) you anything. More waste. The bleeding liberal attitude will kill this state.
Massachusetts is SO business friendly…Companies would pay a $400,000 application fee.
Seems like the Massachusetts Gaming Commission is paid for by these very same people. They should be called lobbyist.
BINGO. I was going thru there and not anymore. Tired or the ill timed lights and still the paving or construction. This city has no clue and no does the state. Just like shaker road will not be worked on till 6-25-2012...Too bad it started a week early...Bright move city people..
The great empty suit (the gov) is coming. You want him to do this on his own time? Again, this is Westfield as you said, this place is like the field of dreams or fantasyland..no recession here...move along.
Per Moody's website "MOODY'S DOWNGRADES TO A3 FROM A2 THE CITY OF WESTFIELD'S (MA) LONG-TERM GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND RATING "
Long term, we are not in good shape.
Yup and you are correct caihlyn. See ML read below. Why is this mayor continually asking for loans.bonds or free money?
Also Moody's downgraded the city last year on its rating. This rating is for a short term note, BIG difference.
Also if Westfield is in such great shape why maxing out the max Tax levy yearly? Story is not tell the complete story.
I agree with majogos. They are JUST NOW DIGGING UP THE NEWLY PAVED road in front of walgreens! What is that????This city and state handled this like clowns.
so the mass freshman is going to ride the coat tails of the FL issue to pass this law? sad. I do not want the state gov playing daddy here.
The state of MA would ban most anything or tax it to death..case in point, the massachusetts cupcake ban ring a bell. Smoking is evil but okay if we tax it..
CPUSA- BINGO...That is my point that people, some are missing. Nothing is free. When they need to subsidized a product it is a total waste of money.
What till the contract, if true, is up and rates go throw the roof...
Waste of Money!
Yup, they are projected, hint hint, to save $1.5M in 10 years…But I guarantee it cost double that to install (if not more)..Funny, the writer missed that one...
Solar will NEVER make it since when the GOV need to support it via "rebate etc" it is a losing business. Let the market deside its fate.
Again, waste of money since there is no return. If there was, everyone would have them.
Was not Christopher Keefe's fired from West Springfield for something?
Gee, both Knapik brothers are there....go figure. One likes to spend till the cows come home and needs $40,000 in legal support from the city....Amazing...really sad...
And I gave $0.00..My taxes paid for it....
Don't forget the boat issue too:

Product description
It's the early 1990s and three young people are looking to change their lives, and perhaps also the world. Attracted to the ambitious global peacekeeping work of the UN, Andrew, Ken and Heidi's paths cross in Cambodia, from where their fates are to become inextricably bound. Over the coming years, their stories interweave through countries such as Rwanda, Bosnia, Somalia and Haiti - war-torn, lawless places where the intervention of the UN is needed like nowhere else. Driven by idealism, the three struggle to do the best they can, caught up in an increasingly tangled web of bureaucracy and ineffectual leadership. As disillusionment sets in, they attempt to keep hold of their humanity through black humour, revelry and 'emergency sex'. Brutal and moving in equal measure, Emergency Sex (And Other Desperate Measures) explores pressing global issues while never losing a sense of the personal. Deeply critical of the West's indifference to developing countries and the UN's repeated failure to intervene decisively, the book provoked massive controversy on its initial publication. Kofi Annan called for the book to be banned, and debate was sparked about the future direction of the UN. Brilliantly written and mordantly funny, it is a book that continues to make waves.

Review quote
"* 'For decades, television has been looking for another, more modern M.A.S.H., the comedy series set in an American army field hospital that drew the sting from death and war. Maybe this book is it. In these True Stories from a War Zone, it's the early 1990s and three young, good-looking civilians working for the UN and the Red Cross first meet in Cambodia... These three voices from the world's front line are personal, these three characters from global ground zero are fallible; their youth and idealism, faults and failures, and triumphs and tears, all work to humanise recent history and bring it home for a reckoning' - The Times * '...vividly told, this book is all the more engaging because its perspective is personal before it is political' - Daily Mail"

Join John Derry, one of the original Corel Painter authors, as he shares the creative techniques that will get beginners up and running, and shows old hands the new features that can get a creative vision out of your head and on to your canvas. The course demonstrates how to create projects, use Painter brushes and painting styles, build templates, and work with layers and channels. John also shares pointers on setting up a Wacom tablet to interface with Painter.
In this video, we are going to talk about the Photoshop PSD format. What's important to note is that one of the key features that it enables, is being able to move back and forth between the two applications with layers intact, so if you're using layers the Photoshop format is going to give you entr?e into Photoshop and have those layers available over there. Conversely if you start an image in Photoshop and it has layers, for the most part you can bring that layered file over to Painter, as long as it's in the Photoshop PSD format.
Now Painter has its own format RIFF and we'll talk a little bit about that a little later in this video, but each of these formats is special in that it contains special information that is unique to each application. But let's start off talking about what's compatible to begin with. The first thing our layers, layer groups, masks, blend modes, selections, guides, embedded ICC profiles, all of these things will transfer in the Photoshop format back and forth between Painter and Photoshop.
In terms of blend modes, not all of the Photoshop blend modes will transfer across. Basically these blend modes are the ones that will go back and forth, but be aware too when you are in Painter they are referred to as compositing methods, but it's essentially the same thing, they are just algorithms that determine how pixels are going to interact with each other when they are layered. Now let's take a look at where we run into issues, where things back and forth between Painter and Photoshop are not compatible.
Things that are in Painter that are easily retained in the Painter RIFF format are Painter's dynamic plug- in layers, Painter's text. Photoshop has text too, but they are each architecturally very different internally to each application. So, while they both have text, neither can understand the format of the text of the other one. Shapes is also something in Painter that will not transfer across as a shape layer to Photoshop.
Transformed layers, you can transform a layer in Painter and keep it under transformation, Photoshop won't know what to do with that. Painter's unique watercolor layers are another area of something unique to Painter; can't get it over to Photoshop. Liquid Ink and Impasto, another pair of specific layers that Painter deals with are not known in Photoshop. All of these can be saved in a RIFF format and they will be retained, but they will be lost going over to Photoshop.
On the Photoshop side of the tracks you've got things that are native to its file format but Painter won't know about. So adjustment layers, text, they have something called shapes, but they're not the same as shapes in Painter, so once again the name is where the familiarity ends. After that they are very different and they don't transfer back and forth across to each other. Smart Objects, layer styles, vector masks, layer fill, opacity; all of these are unique Photoshop features that only the Photoshop format will retain and only Photoshop can read.
In some of these cases, when the file transfers across, it may attempt and may be successful in rasterizing that information, but it will no longer be in some editable form that it is in its native application. One of the things that I recommend you do is you get into a work style that whenever you're dealing with transferring data back and forth between these two applications, always save a version of the file in the native format.
So obviously in Photoshop that would be the PSD file type, and in Painter you want to always save a RIFF version of the file and then go ahead and save a second one that is a PSD file. That way each application will always have a version of the file with all of the unique elements to that application available for you to call back up when you reload that file. Another way to deal with this too is, if you're going to transfer something from Painter to Photoshop, and it's finished, go ahead and save your layered master file.
But also you can go ahead and flatten it and just send it over to Photoshop as a flattened Photoshop file, or a TIFF file for that matter, because you're at that point you're not dealing with layers anymore. The Photoshop format is very much like a passport that let's you get back and forth between these two entities and do it relatively painlessly, and the more you understand this, the less you are going to run into situations where you'll be pulling your hair out after you find out you've lost some important data and have no way to get it back.

HAMDEN, Conn. Graciano Brito's (Sao Nicolau, Cape Verde) 18th goal of the year broke the program Division I record for goals in a single season while helping the Quinnipiac University men's soccer team to a 3-0 victory over Mount St. Mary's on Sunday afternoon. With the win, the Bobcats improve to 5-2-2 in the Northeast Conference, good for 17 points and the third seed in the NEC Tournament. They'll face No. 2 Fairleigh Dickinson in the second game of the afternoon, Friday, Nov. 14, in West Long Branch, N.J.
Quinnipiac improves its overall mark to 10-4-4 this season, while the Mountaineers drop to 5-4 in the NEC and 9-9 overall. This is the third time the Bobcats have qualified for postseason play in Division I and the first time since 2004.
"This is a great day for our program," said Head Coach Eric Da Costa. "This team has worked extremely hard to get to this point and we're one step closer to accomplishing our goal."
Freddy Hall (St. George, Bermuda) recorded his third consecutive shutout and his seventh of the season in the win. Hall has now gone 355:32 without allowing a goal, dating back to the fifth minute of a 1-1 tie with Robert Morris on Oct. 31.
In the 20th minute, Brito gave the Bobcats the 1-0 lead on his 17th goal of the season, tying the Quinnipiac Division I single-season record held by Everson Marciel. Johan Karlhagen (Gothenburg, Sweden) made a quick pass between Mountaineers defenders to Brito streaking up the middle of the field. The senior forward split two defenders and slipped the ball past Mount St. Mary's goalkeeper Chris Davis in goal.
Durval Pereira (Cheshire, Conn.) gave the Bobcats a 2-0 lead in the 34th minute. The freshman forward took the ball off the foot of a Mount St. Mary's defender and moved in on goal. He put a shot high out of Davis' reach into the back left corner of the net for his sixth goal of the season.
With just under nine minutes remaining, Brito scored his second goal of the game. Shane Recklet (Shelton, Conn.) made a long pass up the left sideline. Brito collected the ball in front of the Bobcats' bench and deked a defender at the top left corner of the 18-yard box. His shot to the far side of the goal bounced off the inside of the post and into the back of the net for the record-breaking 18th goal of the season. The previous mark of 17 had been set by Marciel in the 2001 season.
Brito finished the season with 39 points on 18 goals and three assists. The 39 points is also a Quinnipiac program Division I record, eclipsing Marciel's 2001 mark of 38 points.
Hall recorded eight saves in the game, including five in the second half. Davis turned aside three Quinnipiac shots in the loss.

"Not all girls know this experience," Girl Scout, Aleya Brittain said of her experience as a scout.
Aleya and the other girls of troop 5619 and 5703 have done a lot of good in their first decade.
"Every first Friday of the month, I go to the VA to help the veterans," Destiny Davis said.
"We've dont a lot of things. We've helped a lot of people. We did for the tornadoes, we sent off things for the people in Oklahoma," Halie Flethcer said of her troop.
These girls volunteer, they go camping, they mentor the young daisy scouts, and they've got some big ambitions.
"I'm thinking about, like, the possibilities that we could have if more people came. Like,we could join together and make a better, a more peaceful world," Cassie, one of the scouts said.
Giving girls the confidence to dream big is exactly what troop leader Hester Harrold wants to do with her 28 girls.
"We have lots of learning experiences. We like to teach the girls how to be community, active in the community, as far as community service and to really learn how to be themselves. Because in today's day and time, it's real hard because girls want to follow the other girls, and we really teach the girls to be who they are," Harrold said.
Now the Girl Scouts of Texas Oklahoma Plains is encouraging others to join in. They're hosintg a big recruitment rally right beofre school starts up. The cost for a girl to join for the entire year is just fifteen dollars. If you want to get more information, head out the the recruitment event at the Amarillo Zoo, Saturday, August 17th from 1 pm - 4 pm. It's free and open to the public.

Crowe, trading on his youth and innocence, managed to woo bands that had come to loathe Rolling Stone. Led Zeppelin had long insisted it wanted nothing to do with the magazine, since it had trashed every one of its albums. Crowe got Robert Plant and Jimmy Page to sit down for a lengthy interview in March 1975--and, in fact, Crowe is the only filmmaker to receive permission from the two to use Zeppelin songs in his films. He adored the artists whom the older Rolling Stone writers despised: the Eagles, Peter Frampton, Fleetwood Mac, the Allman Brothers, Poco, Linda Ronstadt, and Yes.
Though Draper suggests that some writers bristled at Crowe's "lack of a critical edge," by the mid-1970s, many West Coast musicians told the magazine they would only agree to appear in Rolling Stone if Crowe did the interview. Crowe was never bothered by accusations that he used his job at Rolling Stone to become friends with musicians, despite the advice of critic and mentor Lester Bangs, who is Almost Famous' conscience. The thrill of being so close to the source of creation rendered all accusations a moot point. He always considered himself the fan's surrogate, the guy reporting from the front-row seat a Rolling Stone reader might never have.
But Almost Famous is hardly a love letter to the 1970s or, for that matter, the author himself. It is criticism couched in nostalgia, the bitter pill coated in sugar, as Wilder used to say of his own films. The writer-director has made a cinematic version of the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds: There's a heartbreaking story lurking just beneath its grinning, stoned exterior. Crowe, still the true believer, revels in the metaphor.
"I love Brian Wilson," he says. "I love the thing that sounds sweet and is sort of pop, but you go back and listen to it again, and you realize that this is a guy who has given up, who's heading for the sandbox. Listen to Brian's song "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times.' It is deathly sad, but you'd never know it till the second or third listen. The same is true of Fast Times. It's very sad when the girl gets an abortion, but she's just fuckin' glad that her brother is parked outside and she has a car she can get into. I just like celebrating the small, sweet moments. I love that in Almost Famous, we cut to a kid's face who hears "My Cherie Amour' in his mind while a girl's getting her stomach pumped, because he's just happy to be in the same room with her. It's sort of my sensibility, and you get it or you don't, but to me it's more interesting. And, yeah, it all comes from music."

Supermarket giant Kroger Co. is coming back to the Lowcountry, though it's taking pains to make sure shoppers barely notice its return.
Market data
Stores: 2,419 supermarkets in 31 states under 24 names, including Kroger, City Market, Dillons, Jay C, Food 4 Less, Fred Meyer, Fry's, King Soopers, QFC, Ralphs and Smith's. No operations in the Charleston area. It also has 784 convenience stores, 322 jewelry stores, 1,182 fuel centers and 37 food processing plants.
Employees: 343,000
Sales: $96.8 billion
Headquarters: Cincinnati
CEO: David B. Dillon
Harris Teeter
Stores: 212 supermarkets in 8 Southeast and mid-Atlantic states. 14 stores are in South Carolina; 7 are in the Charleston region.
Employees: 25,300
Sales: $4.5 billion
Headquarters: Matthews, N.C.
CEO: Thomas W. Dickson
After a long absence from the local supermarket scene, the Cincinnati-based chain announced Tuesday it is buying smaller regional rival Harris Teeter in a $2.44 billion deal that will give it seven stores in the Charleston area.
"This is a financially and strategically compelling transaction and a unique opportunity for our shareholders and associates," Kroger CEO David Dillon said in a statement.
A sale had been expected for months. Harris Teeter announced in February that it was exploring strategic alternatives, including hiring an investment bank to court potential buyers.
According to numerous media reports, other potential suitors had included Publix and a private equity firm.
After the deal closes, the 212-store Harris Teeter will become a subsidiary of Kroger and will continue to be managed by its current senior executives.
Kroger said it expects the deal to bring cost savings of $40 million to $50 million over the next several years, but it did not elaborate. No stores are being closed, and the North Carolina chain's headquarters will remain outside Charlotte.
Mike Schlotman, Kroger's chief financial officer, noted that the two chains have little in the way of overlapping locations. He called Harris Teeter "an amazingly great fit."
As one of the nation's largest retailers, Kroger brings to the table tremendous buying power and technological advantages not available to an independent smaller chain.
On the flip side, Schlotman noted, Harris Teeter has done an exceptional job in promoting and selling high-profit prepared and fresh foods.
"That's actually on of the things we think we can learn from them," he said during an interview on Bloomberg TV.
He also said it's too early to speculate about post-merger details, such as whether Kroger will keep Harris Teeter's VIC Card loyalty program or make merchandise changes. Those decisions will be made later by executives of both chains.
He stressed during a conference call with financial analysts that Kroger takes "integration very seriously" when it buys a competitor.
"For now, I can say we would like to keep everything about Harris Teeter that made the company the highly success supermarket operator it is," he said.
He also said Harris Teeter has built an "exceptional brand" and a strong name that will remain intact. Kroger has successfully acquired other grocery chains without fiddling with their corporate identities, Schlotman noted.
"Those names mean something in the market, and this deal is no different," he said. "There's no sense disrupting what that name stands for and trying to explain to customers what a new name stands for."
Kroger expects to expand Harris Teeter, "just as we expert to grow Kroger's franchise," Schlotman added.
If approved by regulators and shareholders, the deal would mark Kroger's return to the Lowcountry. The chain operated a handful of grocery stores in Charleston area until the late 1980s, when it sold them to Bi-Lo. It still has three of it namesake supermarkets in South Carolina, all in Columbia, according to its website.
Harris Teeter was formed more than 50 years from the merger of the Harris and Teeter food merchants in Charlotte. It opened its first Charleston in April 1977 at Cross Creek Shopping Center on James Island.
It now vies for local food-shopping dollars with the likes of Bi-Lo, Costco, Food Lion, Piggly Wiggly, Publix and Walmart, among others.
"As part of Kroger, Harris Teeter will be well equipped to continue to provide our customers outstanding quality and customer service as well as excellent value in an increasingly competitive market," CEO Thomas Dickson said in a written statement.

If you missed Rachel Maddow's show last night, you'll want to catch this clip:
As usual, Maddow and her crew put together a good summary of what currently ails religious and political conservatism in the USA. To the smart political conservatives out there – and I know there are many of you – I reiterate a plea I've made before: please purge the Republican party of the wing-nut wing. They're dragging you down. Tea Partiers, Creationists and their ilk are giving conservatism, which once was a respectable set of social and political ideals, a bad reputation. Tea Partiers, Creationists, etc., aren't going to listen to people like me. Maybe, just maybe, they'll listen to fellow conservatives. If not, then hurry up and throw out your trash. The stench is leaking outside the conservative house and it's nauseating the neighbors.

Adolescents who get six hours of sleep or less may face health and behavior issues, particularly those who get five hours of sleep per night on a regular basis, confirms FIU researcher and criminal justice professor Ryan C. Meldrum in his study that recently published in Preventive Medicine.
"Studies typically examine the implications of getting anything less than eight hours of sleep at night. What I wanted to investigate was whether there might be differences in the consequences of sleep deprivation depending on the severity of such deprivations," says Meldrum, co-author of the study. "In other words, I wanted to know if getting six or seven hours of sleep at night really places teens at risk for problematic health and behavior outcomes, or whether the impact of sleep deprivation is confined to teens at the extreme who average less than six hours of sleep at night."
In the study for which more than 12,000 teens were surveyed, Meldrum links extreme sleep deprivation to 12 outcomes ranging from obesity, substance use, drunk driving and even suicidal tendencies.

2 cups
apple cider
1 1/2 cups
white sugar
1/2 cup
packed dark brown sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons
ground allspice
3/4 teaspoon
ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon
ground nutmeg
2 (12 ounce) bags
fresh or frozen cranberries
I made this cranberry sauce, but did not have any apple cider, so improvised a little and used a little red wine instead. It was the surprise hit of our Thanksgiving get together!
This was too fancy. It just tasted like everything else at Thanksgiving with the spices. I thought I would love it, but opted for the regular cranberries-sugar-water version for this year after making this last year.

My first time making cranberry sauce. Had I known it was this easy to make I would have done this decades ago. Much better than store bought and I would have rated it a 5 star but I'm not real crazy about cloves and to me a little less on the cloves or no cloves would have been better.
This is THE best cranberry sauce I've ever tasted! I just made it for the 4th time and tried to change it up a bit with some dried apricots...we'll see how that turns out!
I love the cranberry sauce on brie, on salmon and especially turkey sandwiches.
Thank you Hazel!!
I loved this sauce! I didn't need that much sauce, so I halved the recipe but it definately dissapeared quickly! The cloves were a bit strong, but I was looking for a spicey sauce so it it did nicely. If your not a fan of cloves, I would cut the amount in half.
Very good flavor, and about as easy to make as a box of macaroni and cheese! I cut the recipe in, since I didn't really need enough to last until Spring...just enough to last until Thanksgiving! Also, I let mine cool and put it into a freezer container instead.
Took this to dinner party, and the girls really liked it. I just cut down a little on the cloves and allspice. Delicious on turkey sandwiches. A keeper.
Amazing! I've never, ever, enjoyed cranberry sauce with my turkey, but now I don't think I want to eat turkey without it! I was a little concerned about the amount of allspice, but went with it anyways, and was so glad I did! I added some thawed, frozen dark cherries. Next time I may hold back a little of the sugar, but then again, maybe not. Thanks for a new favorite!!

Ashburton Blues Festival takes a year off
Posted: November 20, 2012|
ORGANISERS of the annual Ashburton Blues Festival have decided to skip a year.
Spokesman Michael Cranmer said: "We have decided to 'do a Glastonbury' and take a year out, so there will not be a 2013 Festival.
"It is an enormous task and stress inevitably takes a toll, which is not good for anyone!
"So we're having a breather and regrouping for 2014."
Dates have already been booked for the 2014 festival on Friday 23, Saturday 24, and Sunday 25 May.
Mr Cranmer added: "We're looking at the possibility of single gigs through 2013."

GoGrid has just released High RAM Cloud Servers on our high-performance fabric. These servers are designed to provide a high amount of available RAM that is most commonly required for caching servers. Like our other recent product releases, these servers are all built on our redundant 10-Gbps public and private network.
High RAM Cloud Servers are available in the following configurations:
|High RAM
|SSD Storage
High RAM Cloud Servers come with 40 GB of high I/O SSD storage. If you need more storage, these servers are optimized for Block Storage, where you can add volumes as large as 12 TB.
Why cache?
Caching servers are typically used to improve the performance of web applications. If a particular query or request for an object is slowing down a web application, the theory is that pulling a known result from the cache will be faster than querying a database where the result is stored. In particular, most caching servers keep objects resident in-memory, which typically performs faster than disk. The cache stores small pieces of data in-memory for low-latency access. The caching server doesn't replace the app server, so you'll need infrastructure for those. Using a caching server was one of the techniques employed by the Silicon Valley "Rescue Squad" to improve the HealthCare.gov website.
A High RAM caching server typically sits between the app server and the database.
More than Caching Servers
Memcached probably comes to mind when considering caching servers. It's a popular open-source distribution that's commonly used to speed up web applications. The ability to deploy up to 256 GB of RAM on one High RAM server makes this an attractive option for Memcached deployments. However, there are other options to consider when using High RAM Cloud Servers.
MongoDB is part of our 1-Button Deploy™ technology that leverages our SSD Cloud Servers. However, you can also choose to deploy MongoDB on your own using our High RAM Cloud Servers. MongoDB uses a large amount of RAM because it attempts to fit its entire working set into memory. There is no special configuration required to use MongoDB with these servers–it automatically knows to leverage all available RAM. If you have large working sets and don't want to shard, you should consider using our 8X-Large or 16X-Large High RAM Cloud Servers. Because MongoDB is not a caching server, however, it will eventually persist data and 40 GB may not be enough storage. Fortunately, you can attach Block Storage easily to our Cloud Servers. For MongoDB, I recommend using RAID 10, so you'll need to attach at least 4 volumes of Block Storage of the same size to get the right combination of large available RAM and also RAID-protected persistent storage.
Riak is also part of our 1-Button Deploy™ technology. Riak has the ability to run as a caching server; to do so, however, requires configuring Riak. You'll need to switch from the default BitCask Backend and use the Memory Backend instead. With this change configured, Riak will attempt to use in-memory tables instead of persisting to disk. In this configuration, it's more advantageous to use the High RAM Cloud Servers so you can fit larger tables into memory. Riak still maintains its distributed architecture in this mode, so it's highly resistant to failure. This characteristic makes it an ideal distributed caching server because it doesn't require any special settings to maintain its fault-tolerant architecture and can take advantage of the scalability and elasticity of our Cloud Servers.
Deploying a High RAM Cloud Server
You can deploy a High RAM Cloud Server from GoGrid's management console or through an API call. From the management console, use the Add button and select the "Cloud Server" option. Make sure that you're in the US-West-1 data center because that's the only location that currently supports High RAM Cloud Servers. You'll then be presented with a list which represents the "Server Flavor": "Standard," "SSD," "Raw," and "High RAM." Select "High RAM" and you'll be presented with an image selector–only operating systems that run on High RAM Cloud Servers will be available. The next screen will have some options such as the "Server Size." Give the server a name, select the Cloud Server size you're interested in, a public and private IP, and hit the Next button to select your subscription term and deploy your Cloud Server.
Note that the 8X-Large and 16X-Large High RAM Cloud Server options support only a limited set of x64 Linux images. You can find a list here.
Start Caching Stuff!
Now that you've deployed a High RAM Cloud Server, you can start installing the high memory solution that best meets your use case. Memcached, MongoDB, and Riak are all open-source projects, so you can get started with minimal up-front cost. These solutions are typically not deployed in isolation, which means you can always take advantage of the other services available on GoGrid, like SSD Cloud Servers for your application servers, Dynamic Load Balancers for load balancing traffic to your application servers, and the Firewall Service for security against intrusions and attacks.

Michael has for the past few years judged our Art Competition.
This year he is also taking a keen interest in the Speech section, he will be attending the Storytelling classes (see page 11) and reading an extract from one of his books.
Once a police officer, retired Michael Fowler now spends his days writing crime novels, with plenty of first hand experiences for his material. Interestingly, Michael was first published in 1993 writing a series of nostalgic stories about growing up in his hometown of Mexborough. It was only when he retired in 2006 following 32 years service did his journey of writing his first crime novel, 'Heart of the Demon' start. It was the first in the DS Hunter Kerr series originally published in 2010, with the latest in the series, 'Coming, Ready or Not' released September 2014.
Not only is Michael a novelist, he is a seasoned 'Landscape and Seascape' Artist. Crowned the SAA 2009 Professional Artist of the year. Michael says on his love of painting, 'I cannot recall a time when I have not drawn or painted, and during my school years my enthusiasm and passion for art was the main driving force of my education'. Painting predominantly in oils, both 'plein air' and in his studio some of his recent work has been exhibited at 'The Royal Society of Marine Artists,' 'The Royal Institute of Oil Painters' and the 'Royal Society of British Artists'.

We wish Michael the very best and thank him for being involved with the 2015 festival.

As promised in yesterday's edition of my blog, here's the full-length, "Mad Men" PSA in support of high-speed rail, produced by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group. The PIRG is a political lobby, so they are anything but subtle in their message. Let me be clear that Express-News reporters do not endorse such things. But I'll use any excuse to post something that incorporates transportation AND "Mad Men," especially during the off season (I'm looking at you, AMC).
Move It!
On the road, in the sky, or on the rails, "Move It!" is your guide to transportation in the Alamo City and beyond.
