Our program for June will be presented by Diane L Richard. Her topic is Exploring North Carolina through Maps from your easy chair.
The D-OGS Computer Interest Group (CIG) Meeting will hold its next meeting on 14 June from 9:00am-noon in the small ground floor conference room at the Chapel Hill Public Library. The meeting topic is TBA.
The meeting was called to order at 7:04 PM.
The program was "Stories of the Common Soldier" and the speaker was Kent McCoury. This is the program that had been scheduled for April. Kent McCoury holds a B.A. in History from Appalachian State University. He has worked for the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources for almost twenty years. For over 10 years, he has been the assistant site manager at Bennett Place State Historic Site in Durham. He has taught at North Carolina State University and has published book reviews for The North Carolina Historical Review.
Bennett Place, the popular name for the farmhouse in Durham, North Carolina, owned by James and Nancy Bennett (proven Bennitt), was the site of the largest surrender of troops during the American Civil War, on April 26, 1865.
He said that the majority of common soldiers on both sides of the Civil War were either farmers or from related industries and were young men 18-22. For instance, 76% of North Carolina's population were yeoman farmers. He pointed out that while there is a belief that all southerners were plantation owners with many slaves, the truth was that the plantation class consisted of 4069 men, women and children. That means that about 2000 men controlled 300,000 slaves in North Carolina.
Kent said that 625,000 men died—mostly from disease. Their systems were weakened by dysentery from eating bad food and drinking bad water. He said they did not have access to good medical knowledge or doctors. After all, a doctor at that time was pretty much someone who said he was.
The United Stated Regular Army started out with 17,000 enlistees and that swelled to 2 ½ million while the south only had 1 million men to put in the field. He said that neither side was able to supply all the needs of the troops.
He showed us some of the gear and equipment that a soldier would be issued or would have supplied from home. In the beginning both sides wore similarly colored uniforms and many of the home troops wore uniforms designed by their own officers or officers' wives. However, after the Battle of Manassas blue was standardized for the north and gray for the south. The clothing a solder wore was similar to what farmers wore—sack coat, trousers and brougham shoes—and either didn't get issued or wore out quickly so soldiers asked the women back home to send shirts, socks, hats, etc. Also the Southern soldiers captured clothes and equipment from the Northern army.
They carried a canteen, bedroll, and a haversack which held a tin cup, plate, utensils, hard tack crackers and whatever else they wanted to carry such as a Bible, writing materials, letters from home, etc. They would march for up to 50 miles a day. Weapons were musket rifles and Kent said more Enfields were used than any other.
A question was asked about financial incentives for enlisting. Soldiering paid $13-14 a month and did not always reach the enlisted man. Bounties of $100-300 were offered up North and there were people who joined several companies under an assumed name in order to get the bounty. There were a number of Canadians who served for money.
A question was raised about horses and Kent said in the South if you furnished your own horse, you were supposed to be paid if it died but by the time you got home the money was worthless and the majority transferred from cavalry to infantry. Otherwise, you were to be paid so much per day for the use of your private property—but this was mainly in theory. The North had a remount system with horses stationed around Washington.
Kent said there was a lot of civil war soldier information at Bennett Place, as well as at the Olivia Rainey Library in Raleigh and the North Carolina Room at the Durham Public Library main branch in downtown Durham. If you are in the area and need assistance with your Civil War ancestor, those are good places to go.
Kent received an enthusiastic round of applause for a fascinating presentation and invited everyone to come up and see the books and the trunk he had brought with typical military supplies.
Business Meeting:
The minutes for April 2008 were approved as published in the Newsletter.
Paul Hollinghurst announced that the latest Trading Path was available for distribution after the meeting was dismissed.
Rob Elias asked for submissions or ideas for articles for the next Trading Path. He said he and Cathy were leaving for Kansas City for the NGS meeting and were volunteering there which would enable them to see how the conference was scheduled and organized.
Paul reported that a check had been given to the Orange County Library. D-OGS Member Bill Reid said that the room probably won't be any different next year.
Paul reminded us about Olde Orange County Family History Day which will occur Saturday, May 10, 10 am to 3 pm.
Ann submitted the Treasurer's Report to Paul. Our current balance is $4607.41.
Elizabeth Hamilton said the next meeting is June 4 with the program: Exploring North Carolina through Maps from Your Easy Chair. It will be presented by Diane I. Richard.
All business having been concluded, we dismissed at 8:25 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Tonya Fouse Krout
Again this month Paul included a research form on the back of the agenda. He stumped the attendees as none of us had ever seen this form before tonight. Enjoy…
Sheets for Keeping Track of Cemeteries "These sheets are useful for people who wish to keep track of information in graveyards or sexton's records. This 'first page' allows one to map a cemetery and has room for cemetery contact information, as well as room for two gravestone entries. And 'following pages' has a smaller map (perhaps a portion of the map on the first page), and room for six gravestones inscriptions."
Available from: http://www.cs.williams.edu/~bailey/genealogy/ . About two thirds down the page, look for Sheets for Keeping Track of Cemeteries. This page also has some other interesting forms. Take a look!

Research Recommendations: Making of America
by Michael J. Leclerc
Making of America (MOA) is a major collaborative effort to preserve and make accessible a major body of resources related to the development of the United States. With funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Cornell University and the University of Michigan began in 1995 to develop a digital library documenting the social history of the United States from the antebellum period through Reconstruction.
Cornell University started by digitizing 955 volumes, including 109 monographs and 22 journals with imprints between 1840 and 1900. The University of Michigan started by digitizing 1,600 books and 10 journals with imprints published dating between 1850 and 1877. The collections have since grown to more than 1.5 million images from 5,000 volumes at Cornell University, and more then 3.5 million images from more than 10,000 volumes at the University of Michigan. Each university maintains a their own website for their MOA titles.
Many of these titles, such as Harper's New Monthly Magazine, Scientific American, and Vanity Fair, may be familiar to you. Others, such as American Jewess and the Journal of the United States Association of Charcoal Iron Workers, may be less so, but are equally valuable.
Both sites provide similar functionality. You can browse the contents by subject, author, or title. There is also a robust search engine that allows you to search on the full text of the contents as well as the title and subject. It also allows for Boolean and proximity searches as well as bibliographic searches.
Search results show you the number of hits in each title, with links to images of the original pages where the text was found. You can add a result to your bookbag so that you have the bibliographic citation, and then download them later. One nice feature is that you can increase and decrease the size of the image, making it easier for you to read.
You can search the Cornell University MOA website at http://cdl.library.cornell.edu/moa/

By Monica Chen, Herald-Sun, 19 May 2008
It felt like half the Old West Durham neighborhood came out to witness the move of the historic Tate House on Sunday morning.
There was John Schelp, the neighborhood organizer who had sent an alert earlier that week for folks to keep their cars clear of the area. There was Ellen Dagenhart, president of Preservation Durham, who snapped away shots of the century-old house as workers prepared it for the move. And there were Charlie Delmar and Gary Ray, who camped out in chairs with a table of cranberry juice and baked goods between them, looking on at all the commotion as Delmar's car blasted banjo renditions of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" from behind them.
"This is the most documented move of a house ever," joked Gary Kueber. The blogger behind the history-obsessed Endangered Durham Web log also came with his camera to record the momentous event.
CLICK HERE for video of house move…
Because, let's face it, how often do you see a 1,000-square-foot house get jacked up on steel beams and wheels and get pulled up Ninth Street behind a truck? The yellow and white Tate House, so named because its first occupant was one W.G. Tate, is estimated to date back to the 1920s, if not the turn of the century, according to current owner John Martin.
Before Martin, the house at 1704 Markham Ave. by the Dollar General was owned by Jeff Monsein, owner of The Aluminum Company of North Carolina. According to an e-mail Schelp sent out that was documented on Endangered Durham, the house had been approved for demolition in 2007. But Monsein earlier this year offered the house up for free to anyone willing to move it, along with $5,000 to help pay for the move.
Enter Martin, who has experience with renovations and happens to love old houses.
"I teach history for a living and it seemed a shame to lose the house," he said.
After getting the OK from a number of city departments, Martin paid $30,000 to Kountry Boys House Moving & Recycling to move the house on Sunday. The first section with the kitchen moved without a hitch around 8:30 a.m., but workers hit a snag with the main body of the structure when a front wheel of the truck backing it out of its lot fell into a ditch.
After an hour of jacking up the truck itself and laying metal boards under the wheel, the house finally began its three-fourths-of-a-mile journey west on Markham Avenue, north on Ninth Street, then west on Englewood Street and finally south on Edith Street to its new home, nestled in the middle of other historic homes.
"It's all about context," Dagenhart said. "We wanted a place where it would fit, in terms of shape and size. With preservation, you don't want to put McMansions where Victorians are."
Along the way, workers crouched on the open top of the house, pushing traffic lights, power lines and tree branches out of the way. Taking advantage of a beautiful sunny day, kids pedaled on bicycles and adults out with their dogs walked alongside it. The sight of a house slowly inching along also drew surprised and curious stares from people enjoying brunch at Elmo's Diner.
Martin is planning to keep the existing windows, doors, floors and woodwork in the house, and is considering removing the yellow vinyl and taking it back to wood siding. The house also only had one bathroom. Martin will add a porch enclosure for an additional bedroom, bathroom and breakfast area, he said.
Working with David Parker of Riverbank Custom Home Builder on the renovations, Martin will also rebuild the two chimneys in the house, which were dismantled recently. The Tate House could nearly double in size to about 1,900 square feet when all is said and done.
At least one person watching the move on Sunday had connections to the house.
Billy Cotter, co-owner of the downtown restaurant Toast, lived there off and on when he was a teenager, he said. He split his time between his mother's place in southern Durham and there, where his father lived.
On Sunday, as Cotter looked on, old neighbors came up to him and shared their memories of the good times had there.
"It takes a village to move a house," Schelp said.
I would like to thank everyone who came out to help with the OOCFHD event. We had a small but enthusiastic crowd of attendees. The program presented by Tom Magnuson with the Trading Path Association was very enjoyable and informative and right up there with Tom's usual dissemination of interesting history trivia. Next year we will do our biennial spring genealogy workshop and then do the OOCFHD again in two years.
The biggest disappointment was the lack of involvement by the surrounding societies and libraries. Several groups did not even bother to return the self-addressed, stamped postcard to say that they were not going to attend. This may be a sign of bigger issues, with many volunteer societies experiencing a drastic drop in membership participation.
"From Ulster to the Carolinas: Finding Your Scots-Irish Ancestors" sponsored by the North Carolina Genealogical Society & the Olde Mecklenburg Genealogical Society will be presented in Charlotte on 26 July 2008.

Rencher, AG, CG, FIGRS, FUGA, Director of the Records and Information Division of the Family and Church History Department of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City will provide sessions on "Irish Jurisdictions and Reference Works", "Irish Immigration – the Sources in Ireland", "The Scots-Irish in North Carolina" and "Irish Church Records: Church of Ireland, Presbyterian and Catholic". Additionally, he will provide insight on "Where Genealogy is Heading Over the Next Few Years". Information and reservations: www.ncgenealogy.org or email: email@example.com
The Robinson-Spangler Carolina Room of the Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, 310 North Tryon, Charlotte, NC will be open from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Friday, July 25, 2008. Additionally, staff will assist visitors with research, provide free copies of research from microfilm and photocopy machines, and supply light refreshments from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Researchers will also have access to Ancestry.com Library Ed. and HeritageQuest. Laptops are welcome; the building has Wi-Fi.
The extended hours are offered to accommodate researchers, especially early arrivals for the conference "From Ulster to the Carolinas: Finding Your Scots-Irish Ancestors" sponsored by the North Carolina Genealogical Society & the Olde Mecklenburg Genealogical Society on July 26th. The presenter will be David E. Rencher, Director of the Records and Information Division of the Family and Church History Department of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City.
The library will resume regular hours from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on July 26th.

We have received correspondence from the NC Archives concerning a Cemetery Survey and Stewardship Program that they are beginning. They are looking to gather county-level cemetery materials and coordinate efforts of county agencies to preserve cemetery data.
D-OGS really needs to get involved with this project and possibly take on the task of being the county cemetery survey committee for Orange or Durham or both. A great deal of this information has already been collected and made available on Allen Dew's website, www.cemeterycensus.com. There is still much work to be done.
The TPA will hold its June First Sunday Hike at Hill Forest on the 1st of June, from 2 PM until 4 PM. The Hill Forest is NCSU's experimental forest and outdoor classroom for students of forestry and the environment. It sits astride one of the more import channels of the Trading Path too. We will meet at the George K. Slocum Forestry Camp, just west of the Flat River bridge that carries State Forest Road eastward from the camp. Keep an eye out for signs after leaving 501.
Directions from I-85 at Durham: Take Hwy 501 north 12 miles to Moore's Mill Road at Quail Roost. Turn east on to Moore's Mill Rd, and then after 300 yards turn east again on to State Forest Road. The meeting place will be about 4/5 of a mile, 1.5 kilometers from the turn.
We haven't actually settled on the hike route yet, but we can say with confidence that the hike will be on trails minimally prepared, on slopes not excessive, and will see artifacts as yet to be defined. So, wear sturdy shoes, and know we'll probably encounter ticks. It promises to be hot so bring water.

s. (abbreviation) – son.
s. & h. (abbreviation) – son and heir.
secondary evidence – evidence that is inferior to primary evidence or the best evidence.
secondary source – a secondary source is a record that was created a significant amount of time after an event occurred. For example, a marriage certificate would be a secondary source for a birth date, because the birth took place several years before the time of the marriage. However, that same marriage certificate would be a primary source for a marriage date, because it was created at the time of the marriage.
self-addressed stamped envelope (sase) – when you request records or other information from people and institutions, you should include a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) in your letter. Of course, a SASE with U.S. postage stamps on it is only good in the United States. If you are expecting return mail from overseas, you should include an International Reply Coupon with your self-addressed envelope. This coupon serves as payment for any international postage you may need to pay. They can be purchased at your local post office.
ADOBE PHOTOSHOP FOR FREE – When it comes to image editing, the gold standard is Adobe Photoshop. Even if you haven't used the full-blown version, you've likely come across its less expensive sibling, Photoshop Elements.
Now, a free version of the software is available online—with 2 GB of storage thrown in. Adobe Photoshop Express offers many of the features included with Elements, such as cropping, color correction and some fun filter and distortion options. (Be aware, though, that agreeing to the terms of service gives other users the rights to display, print and distribute your shared images. If you don't want your pictures to go public, don't opt to share them through the site.) – https://www.photoshop.com/express/landing.html

Many pre-conference activities will take place at the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center, located at 450 W. Ohio St. in downtown Indianapolis.
Midwestern Roots will feature more than 30 presentations, covering topics ranging from DNA and genealogy to technology and methodology. The opening session of the conference will be led by James Madison, the Thomas and Kathryn Miller Professor of History at Indiana University (Bloomington), who will illuminate the importance and use of wartime letters for family history by relating stories from his new book Slinging Doughnuts for the Boys: An American Woman in World War II.
Another featured presenter will be Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak, Chief Family Historian and North American spokesperson for Ancestry.com. Other notable national speakers appearing at Midwestern Roots include Dick Eastman, Roberta Estes, Charles F. Kerchner, David Lifferth, Stephen Morse, Christine Rose, Beau Sharbough and Curt Witcher.
In addition to the sessions, an exhibit hall will showcase vendors selling the latest products and tools for genealogists. The exhibit hall is free and open to the public on Friday and Saturday.
A pre-conference highlight on Thursday, Aug. 14, will be a panel discussion with some of the pioneers in genetic genealogy on its evolution, potential and present-day uses—panelists include Smolenyak, Estes and Kerchner. Other pre-conference activities include: tours of the William Henry Smith Memorial Library (History Center), the Indiana State Library and the Indiana State Archives; writing workshops on preparing family histories for publication; computer labs; and a workshop designed for library staff and volunteers who answer questions posed by genealogy patrons. The Genealogy Division of the Indiana State Library, the State Archives and the William Henry Smith Memorial Library also will be open late for research.

Debra Wetcher-Hendricks, assistant professor of
sociology, has been appointed to a three-year term on the advisory board of the
Children, Youth, and Families Division of Northampton Countys Human Services Department.
Debras experience in applied research should be of value to an agency whose applications
for grants always include an assessment component.
And Joel Nathan Rosen, assistant professor of sociology,
has been appointed to a twoyear term on the board of Lehigh Countys Office of
Children and Youth Services. He also will offer assistance in legislative matters
to this office.
Debra also attended the Lilly-East Conference on College Teaching
and Learning, April 1-2 in Towson, Maryland. She presented a paper called: Get
Out of Here! Learning Beyond the Classroom Walls. It described investigative
learning and provided sample exercises.
Michael Wilson, director of public relations, spoke
at the annual meeting of the College and University Public Relations Association
of Pennsylvania, March 9-11 in Hershey. He described Creating and Marketing a Blog to
Prospective Students, having just established such a blog at Moravian.
Over spring break, reported Diane Husic, who put
the quotation marks around break, she and Frank Kuserk, professors
of biology, served as evaluators for schools seeking reaccreditation from the Middle
States Commission on Higher Education. (Middle States is Moravians accreditor.)
Frank went to Houghton College in cold, snowy western New York, while Diane visited
the Universidad del Turabo in sunny Puerto Rico. Asked if she felt guilty because
her colleague was out in the cold and snow, Diane said: No. I had to do a snowy
New York location last time.
Keeping to one climate, Diane was a panelist in a symposium at the
American Chemical Society meeting, March 13-17 in San Diego. Her presentation was
on Research Across Academic Department Boundaries. As a biochemist who has worked
in chemistry and biology departments, this is familiar territory to her.
Bob Brill, associate professor of psychology, attended
the Mid- Atlantic Organizational Behavior Teaching Conference, March 19 at Temple
University. He presented a a paper on Student Future Work-Life Challenges: Discovering
Integrative Life Plans, with a model and assignments that he uses in his LinC

RICHMOND, Va. (WTVR) — A young female was struck by a vehicle Thursday evening.
Police responded to Mechanicsville Turnpike and Cool Lane, a bustling intersection in the East End, around 6:00 p.m. Thursday.
Police said it appears the child was hit by a vehicle while crossing the street. Family members told CBS 6 that the child, said to be age 5, was crossing the street with a group of friends.
Police told CBS 6's Chelsea Rarrick that the girl ran in between stopped traffic on the west side of Mechanicsville Turnpike. Traffic was still moving eastbound, and that's when police said a driver hit the little girl.
"I was mad and sad that somebody hit her," said Lavonte Pollard, the little girl's cousin.
He and others gathered together on the street right after it happened.
"She's a good little cousin to me," said Pollard. "Thank god she made it to the hospital."
The driver stopped at the scene and spoke with police. Police said no charges will be made.
The child was taken to VCU Medical with unknown non-life threatening injuries.
"I hope she feels better, and when she gets out of the hospital I'm going to get her gifts and stuff and I love her," said Pollard.

Dink Flamingo's Active Duty Hot American Soldiers Having Wild Gay Sex
Active Duty's long lost pal Sky, a Twinky Marine with a nice package, appeared in their War Chest in a never-before-released solo. Sky only did two scenes for AD way back when, but, now they've dug up this beautiful solo video. I'm glad that they got Sky in front of the camera for his own solo video in uniform, as he just looks really spiffy in it. He's got a cute little smile, and piercing eyes. He's also sporting a thick long log too, as I'm sure you'll notice when you take a look at his photos. When you visit the site, make sure you revisit Sky's two previously released scenes as well. One was a three way with Domenic and Elijah, while his first was a duo with Holden.

Cricket Australia have ruled out allowing James Pattinson to rejoin the Melbourne Stars for the tail-end of the Big Bash League.
The Stars are unhappy that CA advice over Pattinson's rib injury led them to withdraw the 22-year-old from their squad.
After Pattinson was re-assessed, and found likely to be fit by mid-January, it led them to consider petitioning CA to change their rules and allow him to be brought back into the squad.
But while BBL manager Anthony Everard conceded the rules might be changed ahead of next year's competition, it will be too late for the Stars.
The Stars replaced Pattinson with South Australia seamer Daniel Worrall, based on CA's advice he would not be able to resume bowling for six to eight weeks.
Stars chief executive Clint Cooper said the team would petition CA to allow Pattinson to re-enter their squad once his match readiness was verified by medical staff. But Everard virtually ruled out any chance of that happening, as organisers believe the current allocation of 18 players per team is enough.
Our view at the moment is that there are adequate mechanisms in place within the rules for teams to replace players if necessary.Anthony Everard
Our view at the moment is that there are adequate mechanisms in place within the rules for teams to replace players if necessary.
"Our view is that there's already provision in the rules for teams to replace injured players," said Everard. "The Stars' situation is somewhat unique in the sense that James has recovered quicker than anticipated, but at the same time it's up to the teams' individual judgment as to when they replace a player.
"They could well have kept James on their books and then at the appropriate stage made an assessment to replace him [if required].
"Our view at the moment is that there are adequate mechanisms in place within the rules for teams to replace players if necessary.
"They do need to exercise their judgment when they're really reluctant to make a change."
Everard added: "We're a very young competition and things are evolving.
"There certainly seems to be an appetite to review this particular aspect, but our preference would be to do that out of season … and be really thorough in the way we do it, rather than change it on the run,'' he said.
Australia are 1.61 to beat Sri Lanka in the second Test, with the tourists available at 6.00. Mike Hussey is 5.00 to be Australia's top first innings batsman.

Rihanna & Chris Have A Fun Night Out In New York
Has Chris kicked his girl to the curb to go chase Rihanna? He obviously wants that cake..
Just days after Chris Brown was spotted down in Atlanta partying with his girlfriend Karrueche in tow, he was spotted leaving the same New York Hotel as Rihanna. The former couple were both spotted leaving the Gansevoort hotel, but it is unclear of whether they are both coincidentally staying there or if Chris got caught creeping.
It doesn't look as though they are keeping a low profile either. On Monday night, they hit up the Griffin and were spotted in VIP together. According to a source at Page Six, they sat two tables away from each other before Chris made his way over to Rihanna. They eventually started dancing, hugging and kissing in front of everyone before they went off to the bathroom together and when Rihanna reemerged again she looked ruffled (you know, like dirty business went down). They were spotted again together last night at New York Hotspot 1Oak.
Meanwhile, rumors that a Karrueche/Chris Brown split are on the horizon after Karrueche sent a subliminal tweet earlier in the week that said, 'Life is too short to be anything but happy.' Hours later, Chris tweeted, 'Happiness is the one thing I'm never guaranteed….. How can U expect me to guarantee yours?'. The subliminal tweets continued with Karrueche posting to her twitter, 'There's a difference between a man and a boy. I prefer men' and when one of her followers responded, 'Let it go for your own good girl', she tweeted back, 'Oh Baby I am'.
After the Chris and Rihanna sighting late Monday night, Karrueche re-iterated her point yesterday when she tweeted, 'Remember, I said I prefer men'.
Catch a flick of Rihanna and Chris partying at 1Oak last night and a few comments from eye witnesses below:

From the early 1940s through the mid 1960s, Robert Moses was a demagogue of New York City power politics who established and operated a series of self-perpetuating fiefdoms such as the Triborough Bridge Authority, and whose style is "a perfect blueprint for...the first popularly elected dictator of the United States." Vidal views the career of Moses, a conservative, Yale-educated German Jew from New York City, as a cautionary tale—one laid out splendidly in a biography by Robert Caro.
After Yale, Moses studied at Oxford where he identified with the ruling class and believed it to be the most enlightened in the world, with its firm but benign ordering of the lower social classes. To transplant this style at home, Moses advocated in his PhD thesis "the remorseless exercise of the executive power of...

An introduction to multi-cloud distributed application architecture
In this blog, we'll explore how to architect a highly available (HA) distributed application in the cloud. For those new to the concept of high availability, I'm referring to the availability of the application cluster as well as the ability to failover or scale as needed. The ability to failover or scale out horizontally to meet demand ensures the application is highly available. Examples of applications that benefit from HA architectures are databases applications, file-sharing networks, social applications, health monitoring applications, and eCommerce websites. So, where do you start? The easiest way to understand the concepts is simply to walk through the 3 steps of a web application setup in the cloud.
Step 1: Setting up a distributed, fault-tolerant web application architecture
In general, the application architecture can be pretty simple: perhaps just a load-balanced web front end running on multiple servers and maybe a NoSQL database like Cassandra. When you're developing, you can get away with a single server, but once you move into production you'll want to snapshot your web front end and spread the application across multiple servers. This approach lets you balance traffic and scale out the web front end as needed. In GoGrid, you can do this for free using our Dynamic Load Balancers. Point and click to provision the servers as needed, and then point the load balancer(s) to those servers. The process is simple, so setting up a load-balanced web front end should only take a few minutes. Any data captured or used by the servers will of course be stored in the Cassandra cluster, which is already designed to be HA.
Deploying the Cassandra cluster. In GoGrid, you can use our 1-Button Deploy™ technology to set up the Cassandra cluster in about 10 minutes. This will provision the cluster for your database. Cassandra is built to be HA so if one server fails, the load is distributed across the cluster and your application isn't impacted. Below is a sample Cassandra cluster. A minimal deployment has 3 nodes to ensure HA and the cluster is connected via the private VLAN. It's a good idea to firewall the database servers and eliminate connectivity to the public VLAN. With our production 1-Button Deploy™ solution, the cluster is configured to include a firewall on-demand (for free). In another blog post I'll discuss how to secure the entire environment: setting up firewalls around your database and your web application as well as working with IDS and IPS monitoring tools and DDoS mitigation services. For the moment, however, your database and web application clusters would look something like this:
At this point you essentially have an HA application. And of course you don't have to use Cassandra. You could also use a common SQL database and Block Storage to create a shared storage environment that scales. I chose Cassandra as an example because it's considered one of the best HA database architectures on the planet. In short, with this design, any one of the servers or nodes can fail and the application will continue to be accessible. But what happens if the data center, availability zone, or service provider goes down? Those things can happen, and you should have a plan ready to go.
Step 2: Planning for Multi-Cloud
Planning for multi-cloud entails 3 components:
1. Creating a multi-cloud backup strategy
2. Standardizing architectures and deployment tools
3. Designing for failover scenarios across providers
Let's start with backup. At a minimum, anyone running applications in the cloud should plan for multi-cloud backup. Employing a multi-cloud backup strategy simply means not putting all your eggs in one basket. Take the time to create relationships with multiple providers and store your backups on multiple clouds. Even if you don't distribute your workloads across multiple providers, distributing your backups and archives across providers can ensure you can recover from a catastrophe, if necessary.
One thing that makes it easier to employ a multi-cloud strategy is to leverage standard architectures. This approach is often overlooked, but just imagine if you're working with backup tools and a set of server images that aren't consistent across providers. Recovering from an incident instantly becomes much harder. For example, proprietary services like Kinesis with Hadoop and EMR on Amazon Web Services (AWS) aren't things you can spin up at another provider in the event you need to do so. An alternative would be to set up Cassandra with Hadoop on AWS and also set up Cassandra with Hadoop on GoGrid using the same out-of-the-box application technology. This way, when you distribute your backups and recover, you don't have to re-invent the wheel for each cloud provider with which you're engaged.
Last, let's look at designing for failover scenarios. There are a few reasons you may want to direct traffic to alternate locations. Perhaps you need to optimize performance, deliver custom content to a specific region, or failover. At some point, you'll need Geographic Load Balancing and failover services. Geographic Load Balancing lets you direct the traffic for your websites to the servers or data centers closest to visitors based on their geographic location. This approach provides shorter load times because visitors' requests are routed to the closest server or data center. A Spanish website visitor would be sent to a Washington, D.C. (Ashburn) data center rather than to a data center in San Francisco, for example. You can also provide custom content to site visitors. In the same example, a San Francisco website visitor could receive content in English and a Spanish website visitor could receive content in Spanish.
In the event you need to failover, adding failover capabilities to Geographic Load Balancing provides a mechanism for continuous availability in the case of a cluster or data center failure. You can request a cluster as a "failover" cluster, for example, where the primary cluster responding to web traffic could be in a San Francisco data center and the failover cluster in the Ashburn data center. Should the cluster in San Francisco become unresponsive, the failover service will detect this event and automatically route traffic to the failover cluster. What's the difference between this service and our Dynamic Load Balancing services? Our Dynamic Load Balancing services are intended to spread load across a cluster as needed, and our Geo Load Balancing and Failover services are meant to be a solution for distributing load across data centers or across multiple clusters, regions, or service providers. Each Dynamic Load Balancer can handle 10,000 concurrent connections at a time; however, if you need to scale beyond that point to handle larger amounts of traffic, you could put our Global Load Balancing solution in front of multiple Dynamic Load Balancers.
Step 3: Designing to Scale Out
This is the area where the true value of a cloud provider comes into play. As your website becomes more popular, there's a tendency to want to scale up the boxes running the databases and applications. The problem with this approach is that you'll eventually hit a limit. The nice thing about working with a Cassandra cluster, on the other hand, is that the cluster can scale out within a data center, and you can even distribute clusters across multiple data centers if you use our Cloud Link product. Pair that with the ability to distribute loads using the load-balancing techniques described above and you can now scale out your application as needed, either within a data center or across multiple data centers, zones, and even cloud providers. Plus, if you decide to leverage standard application architectures, you can also do things like orchestrate your deployments across data centers and zones, so you can failover and spin up an entire environment in just a few minutes. (Look for more on orchestrating deployments in a future blog post.)
Below is an example of what we would have built. As the figure shows, you can route traffic as needed to multiple locations. Leveraging cloud infrastructure, you can scale out nodes, servers, databases, load balancers, firewalls, and storage in multiple locations, and using Managed Monitoring and Managed Backup services, you can ensure your operation is healthy and can recover easily in the event of disaster.
And that's it. In a few simple steps, you can ensure your architecture is HA. Just keep in mind that you need to build 3 things:
1. A distributed, fault-tolerant application architecture
2. A multi-cloud strategy for disaster recovery and failover
3. A design that enables the ability to scale out across data centers and providers
By leveraging these 3 techniques, you'll be able to architect your application to be as highly available as you need.

TIMBERLAKE HITS DOUBLE PLATINUM: Justin Timberlake's vision is now certified double platinum, as The 20/20 Experience crosses the 2 million sales marker this week, its 14th week on the chart. The album sold 32,000 copies this week, enough for a No. 9 finish, bringing its total sales to 2.018 million copies. On the Digital Songs chart, the ex-Mouseketeer's "Mirrors" is at No. 15 this week (101,000 sales, for a total of 2.15 million) and "Suit and Tie" is at No. 63 (33,000, 2.54 million total), while his seasonally appropriate "Summer Love" – from 2006's FutureSex/LoveSounds – comes in at No. 188 this week, with 12,000 sales. Meanwhile, Timberlake still has another album to look forward to this year; the second part of his 20/20 Experience is due out in September.
SABBATH, LONELY ISLAND DOWN: Several of last week's debuts suffer big falls on this week's chart. Last week's No. 1, Black Sabbath's 13, falls to No. 5 on a 71 percent sales decline. The Lonely Island's Wack Album dips 70 percent, plunging from No. 10 to No. 45. Goo Goo Dolls' Magnetic, No. 8 last week, loses 78 percent of its sales, and slides to No. 65. And Jimmy Eat World's Damage erodes 79 percent, free-falling from No. 14 to No. 83. Speaking collectively for all them: Ouch.

Spokane, WA (SportsNetwork.com) - Kevin Pangos dropped in 24 points and handed out seven assists as the Gonzaga Bulldogs posted an 84-69 win over the BYU Cougars in a West Coast Conference battle at the McCarthey Athletics Center.
Sam Dower contributed 18 points for the Bulldogs (18-3, 8-1 WCC) and both Gary Bell and David Stockton with 14, the latter also handing out seven assists as the program posted a fourth straight win and the eighth in the last nine outings overall.
The Cougars (13-9, 5-4) were paced by Tyler Haws with 23 points, while Kyle Collinsworth pitched in with 13 and seven rebounds as the team bowed for the second time in as many games. Coming up a rebound shy of a double-double for the visitors was Eric Mika who tallied 12 points.
Coming off a triple-overtime loss to Portland on the road just two nights ago, the Cougars were a bit sluggish coming out of the gate, particularly behind the 3-point line where they converted just 1-of-7 in the first half. Hitting just 4-of-8 at the free-throw line didn't help matters as BYU fell behind by two at the break, 35-33.
After converting 41.2 percent from the floor in the first half, the Cougars jumped to 50.0 percent after intermission, but that was still not match for Gonzaga as the host dropped a sizzling 64.3 percent, including 6-of-9 beyond the arc, as it cruised to the double-digit win.
The Bulldogs finished the night with a perfect 12-of-12 performance at the free-throw line and 10-of-22 beyond the arc, which explains how they got away with clearing a mere three offensive rebounds.
Gonzaga, which continues to lead in the conference standings, entered the meeting having won 21 straight home dates.

I have been here before and never had a bad experience but this time was awesome. The artic char was amazing! I got the skirt steak that came with sweet potatoes (which I don't like) but they let me change it no problem. Steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the onion rings were super crispy and delicious with some barbecue-like ketchup...fabulous.
Posted by Anonymous on 05/06/2014
i've been here a few times and the food is totally different. the burger used to be a good, large, succulent burger. now it is slightly larger than a slider, with two overdone patties so the meat to bread ratio was way off. the portion was similar to a cheeseburger and fries from fast food chains only that tastes better. clearly the ownership changed or the chef did. never going back.
Posted by Ben on 12/17/2012
The food was really good. The waiter was fantastic. The bar did not have the ingredients to make an apple martini! While I did enjoy the appetizer, three scallops for 14.00 was a bit much.

I've been living in the neighborhood for over 5 years and have been anticipating a classy place like this to finally arrive! The staff is friendly, especially the handsome bartender who hand shakes and muddles all the special cocktails. The Dark-n-balmy, fried baby artichokes, steak fries and friendly bar conversations is a must try bar treat. If you're looking for ambiance, check this place out, especially when they have live music.

One of the best steaks I've ever had! Was apprehensive but thought I would give it a try. Sat at the bar. Got great recommendations from Darren the bartender. Will definitely be back.

Super Shots
Our ranking of the best PGA Tour players since 1980 inspired a second list:ĀWho hit the best shots in the same period. Here, club by club,Āare the best of the best
February 2014
What are the best shots ever hit with each club? The question coalesced while following Shaun Micheel during Q school a year ago. As you'll see, we think Micheel owns the 7-iron.
No. 2, Oakland Hills CC (South), first round, 1985 U.S. Open
T.C. Chen
Just 20 people watched by the second green as the fifth-to-last group of the day approached. Chen had 256 yards left on the 527-yard par 5. Four bunkers and a stand of maple trees guarded the back-right pin on the two-tiered green. Chen's sizzling spoon hit on or near the front edge, then rolled in for the first double eagle in U.S. Open history.
Honorable mention: Phil Mickelson, 17th hole, Muirfield, fourth round, 2013 British Open

This is a trick?
I love these pants! They probably would wet in a heavy rain but they repel light rain and wet branches pretty well. They breathe really well which dries them out quickly, and they pack up into a little baseball sized stuff sack. A cool feature of these pants is the velcro tabs on the bottom sections of the legs. The velcro allows you to tighten the pants on the bottom for a tapered MC Hammer kind of look that's functional for running etc. I would NOT want to attempt any bushwhacking in these pants- super thin material and my paclite pants (which are 2x as thick) are already patched in 3 places from winter trekking. The weight of these makes me think something is wrong or I am being tricked but I can't figure out how yet...

NBA finals, Lakers Celtics: Phil Jackson plays good cop, Kobe Bryant plays bad cop
Jun 14, 2010, 9:26 AM EDT
Walking into the locker room after a crucial Game 5 loss, Kobe Bryant could be heard going on an expletive-filled tirade at his team. His comment later to Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski was telling.
"We've regressed since Game 1," Bryant confessed to Yahoo! Sports. "Our defense belongs on milk cartons in the last two games."
A few minutes after Bryant's venting to his team, Phil Jackson was in front of the media with a different demeanor. He was trying to be positive.
"They scored 92 points," Jackson said. "We'll live with that and we'll come back and play that game again, regardless of what they shot."
Welcome to the Lakers good cop/bad cop routine.
Bryant is the fiery one trying to scare his teammates into a better performance. Jackson is the soothing one, coming in afterwards to build up their confidence and ego again. They are on the same page most ways, trying to find a way to inspire these Lakers to do things like get a hand in Paul Pierce's face or grab a loose ball rather than watching Kevin Garnett get to it.
Game 6 will be interesting. For two seasons now, these Lakers have really only played their very best ball when their backs were against the wall. They saved their best for when pressured.
But in Game 5, when they Lakers should have been pressured, they let the Celtics push them around, out work them, out play them. Will that be different at Staples Center, in front of the home fans? Or will Boston's bench still bring more energy?
Jackson and Bryant have gone Starsky and Hutch to do their part.
- Lion Woods - Jun 14, 2010 at 10:20 AM
I love this series… it is so beautifully scripted for the ultimate Game 7. The Lakers did what they needed to do and that was to steal a victory in Boston. Coming home it is do or die but I can guarantee a victory for the Lakers and their star studded cast of fans. The Lakers played poorly defensively but it really doesn't matter. The home court at Staples will be the scene of a lopsided Lakers victory in Game 6. Bynum's knee is weak and so goes his game. Artest better takes some of his $8 million dollar salary and buy a jump shot. Gasol plays well most times but his lapses are far too many. Wake up Lakers its winning time and for those of you that don't know what that is… see Magic Johnson circa 1988.
- Scott - Jun 14, 2010 at 3:47 PM
I am a huge Lakers fan and I have to admit that watching my boys last night was sickening!!!!! I am so sick and tired of seeing Ron Artest throw up bricks it's ridiculous! And where is the fire that he played with in the past to let Rhondo push and talk to him like a punk in front of millions! I WANT THE OLD ARTEST!!!!! To hell with doing the right thing at this point! SHOW UP AND HANDLE PIERCE! I'm sure that's what Kobe would like to tell him. And earth to Odom….EARTH TO ODOM!!!! The goal is this way my friend! WTH!!!!!! AND PLAY BROWN MORE!!!!!!

I'm slowly losing my love for the NBA, after the calls I have seen during these NBA playoffs. I'm sick. It's turning into the WWE. I'm not a psychic but I will bet all NBA championships will go 7 games, especially if the Lakers are playing the Celtics. If we all look back at the fouls the officials are calling they are diffidently directing the game. Mr. Stern loves it, because he can say he has brought more money and attention to basketball. But what's the price. It's one step away from boxing, and look where boxing is today.

What version of Postgres are you using? Would you mind sending a postgres database backup (no data) that can reproduce this to email@example.com?
I am using Postgres version 1.10.3, Sorry i can't send you the DB, any idea of fixing this error?
Are you certain that is the version of Postgres you are using? Looks like the latest version is 8.x/9.x (www.enterprisedb.com/.../pgdownload).
I know that the provider works against the latest version as of last year as I had done some major work on the provider. If you are using version 1.0, then you will need to update the provider accordingly to work with the old version. We include the source code to the provider with every install and guide on how to do this located here docs.codesmithtools.com/.../Building+a+Custom+Schema+Provider+for+SchemaExplorer.
Sorry we are using version 8x only in tht only i am getting the error
Thanks for following up. I'll set up postgres on a vm and take a look.

he goal of this project is to provide functionality roughly analogous to the portions of the C++ STL library that are not already provided by java. The primary functionality to be provided is:
* a set of functors and predicates that may be applied both the the generic collections and to other areas of the standard java library.
* basic utility algorithms for use with java collections such as those found in STL
* implementations of standard java classes that are intended to be user-derivable that apply the algorithms and functors for general benefit (for example, implementations of standard swing models that take advantage of predicates and functors) We will not necessarily reproduce STL in all of its details: where Java and C++ provide different interpretations of standard design patterns, we will stay true to standard Java practices in order to be as comfortable for Java programmers to adopt as is practical. We will also not necessarily be limited by the scope or approach of STL
