Super Bowl Super Fly-In
It's Oshkosh, but with Gulfstreams, caviar, limos…and lots of beer
|It was Super Bowl morning, and the airport was as dead as a Thanksgiving turkey. Where barely 12 hours earlier, the only way I could get into the air was by sitting at an intersection, engine running and whining to the tower, this day I practically owned the airport. The pattern, anyway. The airport itself was owned by the more than 208 jets and turboprops that had come into Scottsdale, Ariz., that morning and stayed—not to mention the dozens more that came, dropped off passengers, and then split. It had to be coincidental that across town, in the gleaming dome easily visible from the pattern, even though it was more than 20 miles away, the Giants and the Patriots were about to square off.

During my time at Marine Corps Officer Candidates School this summer, I could not go more than a minute or two without hearing an irate Sergeant Instructor bellow "WHY ARE YOU SO STUPID?" to some unsuspecting Officer Candidate. It usually did not matter whether or not you had done anything wrong, because Officer Candidates School is all about maintaining your composure under pressure, and they do their best to rattle you constantly.
This morning, despite the respect for honor and authority that my Sergeant Instructors instilled in me, I find myself wanting to ask the same of the administration here at Columbia University. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will deliver a speech here on campus later today at the invitation of Columbia President Lee Bollinger.
As an American, a Columbia student, and a future Marine Corps Officer, I find this both deeply offensive and darkly ironic. Is it really possible that the very same administration that denies me the opportunity to participate in the Naval Reserve Officers' Training Corps (NROTC) on campus is willing to welcome a man who sponsors terrorism and funds attacks on our troops in Iraq?
Sadly, such a thing is possible, and almost expected, given Columbia's history—which includes an invitation former Columbia President Nicholas Butler provided to Nazi ambassador Hans Luther back in 1933.
While the players at Columbia may have changed, the school's play book has not; this invitation is yet another stain on this institution's reputation, which belies its ongoing hypocrisy.
Columbia spends a great deal of time talking about diversity and free speech, but at the end of the day, these are empty words on a campus that greatly lacks in moral clarity. For with such clarity, the school would actively encourage military service among its students and would aggressively sponsor such training on campus. After all, free speech only exists because the men and women of the United States Military are willing to stand up and oppose the forces of tyranny and oppression in this world—ones now represented by the likes of Ahmadinejad.
Free speech is not at the heart of this debate; Mr. Ahmadinejad was not muzzled before Columbia so willingly extended its stage to him. As a world leader, the Iranian president can speak his mind, literally, to the world whenever he pleases. The question here is why Columbia would willingly offer an invitation to such a repugnant man when it is certain that he will do nothing but lie?
Austin Byrd is a sophomore at Columbia University, a Marine Officer Candidate, and a graduate of Young America's Foundation.

Only ten weeks to go! Time for an alphabetical summary of the many leading-edge themes & topics to be discussed at Cloud Expo 2012 New York (10th Cloud Expo) - being held June 11-14, 2012, at the Javits Convention Center in New York City and co-located with Big Data Expo 2012 New York (1st Big Data Expo). There is truly no bigger or better event on earth that allows you to play catch-up via so many different technical and strategy sessions devoted to Enterprise IT's two fastest-growing trends - Cloud Computing & Big Data - under one roof.
10th Cloud Expo Keynote – see Mission-Critical Applications in the Cloud
Apache Hadoop – see Hadoop
Apache HBase – see HBase
APIs – Why are APIs so important in clouds? That is a question that the CEO of Eucalyptus Systems, Mårten Mickos [Speaker Profile] - one of Cloud Expo's most popular regular speakers - will seek to answer in his Cloud Expo 2012 New York session entitled "Clouds Are All About APIs". He will also be asking whether we will end up with one, two or more standards and wondering how will this affect the evolution and adoption of cloud computing.
Application Consolidation – see Platform as a Service
Australia – see Case Studies
Best Practices – There are numerous best practices sessions throughout the program at 10th Cloud Expo in New York. They include "Best Practices for Big Unstructured Data Storage" by Tom Leyden [Speaker Profile]; "Infrastructure Planning & Control in Next Generation Data Centers" by Andrew Hillier; and "Elastic IT: How the Cloud Can Benefit Organizations of Any Size" by John Peterson.
Big Data – With the advent of the first ever Big Data Pavilion, 10th Cloud Expo's exhibit floor and program will both be awash with Big Data discussions and solutions. For details of relevant sessions, see elsewhere on this page: Big Data and the Cloud | Big Data Revolution | Big Unstructured Data | The Growing Big Data Tools Landscape | Consolidation of Big Data in the Cloud | Scaling Big Data in the Cloud |
Big Data and the Cloud – Cloud-based, real-time analytics can help save more than 50% in business insight-related costs, and collaborative business process services can help increase employee productivity by 25%. That, anyway, is the contention that will be made by IBM's VP of Big Data & Streams, Anjul Bhambhri [Speaker Profile], in a 10th Cloud Expo session that will be examining how, in the era of smarter computing, any enterprise can apply the transformative power of cloud computing to reinvent the way it does business and improve economics. IBM has worked with a broad range of clients, across all industries, to help them define their big data strategies, and was recently named a "Leader" in The Forrester Wave for Enterprise Hadoop Solutions, Q1 2012. Anjul's session is called "Big Data and the Cloud".
Big Data in the Cloud – see Consolidation of Big Data in the Cloud
Big Data Revolution – What exactly is Big Data and what can you do with it? What are some of the considerations if you need to run a high-performance production system? In a 10th Cloud Expo session called "Big Data Revolution" delegates can join the team fro GoGrid and learn how one of its customers leverages the power of Big Data and the scalability of the cloud to vastly improve its product.
Big Data Tools – In a session titled "The Growing Big Data Tools Landscape: Choosing the Right One for Your Enterprise", Chief Strategy Officer for GCE, David Lucas [Speaker Profile], will be running through what enterprises really need to know about the growing set of big data tools - both those being leveraged by organizations today as well as the new and innovative tools just arriving on the scene. "Hadoop, MapReduce, Hive, HBase, Lucene, Solr?" says Lucas. "The only thing growing faster than enterprise data these days is the landscape of big data tools."
Big Unstructured Data – In a session titled "Best Practices for Big Unstructured Data Storage", Tom Leyden [Speaker Profile] of Amplidata will explain what Big Unstructured Data is (lots of large, unstructured files) and how you build scalable storage infrastructures that can handle such volumes of data. Tom's focus will be on Object Storage - the future storage paradigm that uses concepts of cloud computing to optimize the back-end storage for cloud applications.
Case Studies – With cloud computing having moved so conclusively now from being a noun to a verb, 10th Cloud Expo abounds in case studies featuring real-world implementations of cloud-based solutions. One good example is the session entitled "Cloud Triumphs and Pitfalls: Lessons from Commonwealth Bank of Australia", in which ServiceMesh Sr. VP Dave Roberts [Speaker Profile] combines with Jon Waldron, Executive Architect at Commonwealth Bank of Australia, to explore key lessons learned by the largest bank in Australia during the rollout of multiple enterprise-wide, private cloud services. "Come find out what worked and what didn't so you can apply the same lessons to your own cloud initiatives," Roberts invites.

Cloud Security – see also Dark Side of Virtualization
Cloud Standards – Will we end up with one, two or more competing cloud standards? And, how will this affect the evolution and adoption of cloud computing? These are questions that the CEO of Eucalyptus Systems, Mårten Mickos [Speaker Profile] - one of Cloud Expo's most popular regular speakers - will seek to answer in his Cloud Expo 2012 New York session entitled "Clouds Are All About APIs". He will also be asking why APIs are so important in clouds, and whether Cloud APIs have to be open.
Cloud Storage – see also Scale-out Storage
Cloud Storage – In a session at 10th Cloud Expo called "Building and Using an Open Source Storage Solution", John Dickinson, Project Technical Lead at Rackspace Hosting, where he works on Rackspace's Cloud Files product, will be exploring the ABCs of Swift, one of the largest open source object storage projects He'll also explore real-world scenarios in addition to the lessons learned from building and running the largest OpenStack Swift Clusters in the world at Rackspace.
Cloud Triumphs and Pitfalls – see Case Studies
Commonwealth Bank of Australia – see Case Studies
Consolidation of Big Data in the Cloud – IT managers are dealing with growing constraints on space, power and costs to manage their data center infrastructure, which is why Cloud Expo 2012 New York Platinum sponsor Intel is bringing together a broad network of leading hardware and solution providers to build and enhance cloud solutions that are interoperable, multi-vendor and embrace open standards. In a General Session entitled "Managing the Explosive Growth and Consolidation of Big Data in the Cloud" Intel will be joined by key partners on-stage to talk about the latest Cloud solutions and service offerings that they are offering based on Intel architecture.
Copyright and the Cloud – Widespread adoption new cloud functionality is bringing dramatic changes in the ecology and characteristics of content use and re-use. As cloud-based content usage increases, so-called "repertory-style" licensing will likely become an ever more critical and indispensable part of the toolkit for collaboration and content-sharing. Hear all about it in the 10th Cloud Expo session "Copyright and the Cloud: Publishing, Content Workflow and Licensing" being given by Christopher Kenneally, Director of Business Development at Copyright Clearance Center.
Dark Side of Virtualization – What are the types of situations when you should consider not virtualizing some of your applications? Reasons might range from technical to legal to IT ops to politics to finances. In his 10th Cloud Expo session, Dave Asprey [Speaker Profile], VP of Cloud Security at Trend Micro, will be giving a true IT insider's guide to the truth about virtualization. Dave's session is called, in full: "The Dark Side of Virtualization: Ten Situations Where Virtualization Won't Improve Security, Performance, or Availability".
Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) – see PostgreSQL
Database Sharding – see Scaling Big Data in the Cloud
DBaaS – see PostgreSQL
Elastic IT – IT organizations have looked to the cloud to offload the challenge of security management and take advantage of the elasticity which the cloud offers. In an interactive session at 10th Cloud Expo, John Peterson, VP of Technical Services at Barracuda Networks will explore this shift, its benefits, and discuss best practices, including case study examples that organizations can use to scale up or down the computes required to deliver this security as they expand and contract over time. His session is called: "Elastic IT: How the Cloud Can Benefit Organizations of Any Size".
Enterprise Hadoop Solutions – see Big Data and the Cloud
Enterprise-Wide Private Cloud Services – see Case Studies
Enterprise Transformation Using the Cloud – Cloud is a shift from the focus on underlying technology implementation to leveraging existing implementations and further building upon them. In his session at 10th Cloud Expo, the CTO of the U.S. Dept. Justice, Ajay Budhraja [Speaker Profile], will discuss how for example the requirement to access multiple clouds will cause a shift towards utilizing identity management services and single sign-on capabilities."With cloud services," he says, "a traditional project that just obtained survey information from customers and provided reports can be transitioned to leverage an authentication service, cloud customer information service, cloud reporting service and other cloud services to provide a scalable, highly integrated solution quickly."
Ethernet SAN – see Scale-out Storage
Eucalyptus – As datasets grow in size and numbers in the enterprise, there needs to be a place to store, secure and analyze the datasets. An IaaS cloud like Eucalyptus can be "the place" to enable enterprises to deploy Big Data analytics and applications. That, anyway, will be the contention made by Eucalyptus Systems' Director of Product Management, Govind Rangasamy, in his New York session "Running Big Data Applications on Eucalyptus IaaS Cloud". Since the Euca cloud has the industry's de-facto standard IaaS API implementation, Govind will be able to make a powerful case! Eucalyptus also already has a vast ecosystem of Big Data industry partners.
Hadoop – As the saying (now) goes, "if it's partionable, it's Hadoopable"...and truly Apache Hadoop is front, left and center nowadays at any event featuring Cloud Computing & Big Data, and ours is no exception. Sessions include: "Apache Hadoop: Now, Next, and Beyond" by the Co-Founder & CEO of Hortonworks, Eric Baldeschwieler [Speaker Profile]; "Crash Course In Open Source Cloud Computing" by Citrix's Mark Hinkle [Speaker Profile];
Hadoop: Now, Next, and Beyond – One highly popular session in June is certain to be the one on Hadoop being given by the Co-Founder & CEO of Hortonworks, Eric Baldeschwieler [Speaker Profile]. Eric was the engineer responsible, while he was at Yahoo!, for building and managing the team that took Apache Hadoop from a prototype to a system Yahoo! uses on 42,000 computers. In his session, he will discuss the exciting developments that have happened recently with the Apache Hadoop project, what is has already accomplished (including real-world examples), and what it is going to make possible in the future.
HBase – see Big Data Tools
Hive – see Big Data Tools
Hybrid Cloud – The reality is that every IT organization will face a mixed deployment model going forward, which is why the 10th Cloud Expo session by HyperStratus CEO Bernard Golden [Speaker Profile] will address the opportunities and constraints IT organizations confront as they chart their hybrid cloud future. "Endless discussion about the 'right' cloud delivery model has not produced a consensus," says Bernard. "Instead, the cacophony of discussion resembles a Fox News Show - all talking points and no enlightenment." According he proposes to get beyond that and on to much more useful, real-world discussion in his session entitled, tellingly, "Private vs. Public vs. Hybrid: Moving Beyond the Soundbites".
HPC in the Cloud – High-Performance Computing (HPC) and the Cloud make a cost-effective duo. Something called "process level virtualization" technology - with a very low footprint to create a robust and fault-tolerant virtual private cloud - can leverage existing IT infrastructure and achieve supercomputing performance at lower cost "and with zero management and integration effort" according to Eyal Maor, entrepreneur and CEO of Xoreax. He'll be giving a session at 10th Cloud Expo called "Achieving Cost-Effective HPC in the Cloud Through Process Level Virtualization".
IaaS Cloud – see also Eucalyptus
IaaS Cloud Services for Windows & Linux – Can efficient and powerful hardware, used along with both open source and proprietary software, be ulitilized to achieve an ideal balance between performance vs cost? Mike Carpenter, VP Business Development with CARI.net, believes so and his 10th Cloud Expo session "Architecting the Full Performance Potential of IaaS Cloud Services For Windows, Linux And Appliances" aims to explain how. "There is a gentle yet optimal balance between performance, redundancy and capacity," MIke will explain.
Infrastructure Planning & Control – In his 10th Cloud Expo session, CiRBA's CTO & Co-founder Andrew Hillier will be outlining best practices for gaining control over dynamic capacity supply and workload demand in large-scale virtual and cloud infrastructure. His session is called "Infrastructure Planning & Control in Next Generation Data Centers" and he'll be discussing in detail how leading Fortune 500 organizations have brought together infrastructure teams, capacity teams and application owners to increase agility, reduce risk and costs by optimizing infrastructure planning and management processes.
Identity Management – see Enterprise Transformation Using the Cloud
IT As Innovation Leadership – The opportunity for today's IT leaders is to transform IT by leveraging the new ecosystem of services that liberate IT from a technology focus to an information and innovation focus. In a 10th Cloud Expo session by Rich Taggart, a Lead Partner at SHI and former SVP and Corporate CIO of the Walt Disney Company, will be offering a step by step approach to revitalizing IT as an innovation leadership organization. The session is called "From Chief Information Officer to Chief Innovation Officer".
Linux – see IaaS Cloud Services for Windows & Linux
Lucene – see Big Data Tools
Managing Big Data Growth – see Consolidation of Big Data in the Cloud
MapReduce – see Big Data Tools
Mission-Critical Applications in the Cloud – How have the latest cloud computing designs evolved recently in terms of security, availability, and overall service quality to meet the needs of mission-critical applications? That is the crucial question for many Cloud Expo delegates, and it is one that will be answered in June by SHI's Chief Technologist and Managing Partner Henry Fastert, whose Opening Keynote at 10th Cloud Expo - on June 11, 2012 - will be asserting that the latest generation of cloud computing is now demonstrably capable of addressing the needs of the enterprise mission critical applications. Henry will also share insight on how cloud designs can handle high availability service levels (Security, Performance, High Availability).
Mobile Cloud – As workers continue to demand business apps on their connected devices, the mobile cloud will play a key role in changing the enterprise IT landscape forever. In his session at 10th Cloud Expo called "Embracing the Mobile Cloud from Start to Finish", the President & Founder of Keynote DeviceAnywhere, Faraz Syed, will be discussing how, to make it work, companies must plan for the whole application lifecycle from development and testing through to monitoring, or risk failing to realize the full potential of the mobile cloud.
Network-Based Cloud Computing – The importance of an enterprise-grade network at the center of cloud services cannot be overstated, according to Steve Caniano, VP of Hosting, Application & Cloud Services at AT&T Business Solutions. The optimum cloud, Caniano contends, is one where cloud services are actually embedded in the network. "A network-based cloud allows cloud services and applications to be managed and delivered as part of a total solution straight down to any device just like voice and data," Caniano states. His session at Cloud Expo 2012 New York, "The Cloud and the Network – a Match Made in Heaven" will discuss how this unique approach can offer enterprises the scale and flexibility of the cloud, without sacrificing performance, reliability and security.
Next Generation Data Centers – see Infrastructure Planning & Control
Open Source Cloud Computing – In his sure-to-be-packed "Crash Course In Open Source Cloud Computing" session, popular Cloud Expo speaker Mark Hinkle [Speaker Profile] will, as Mark puts it, "cut through the hype and quickly clarify the ontology for cloud computing." The session will appeal to anyone who has a good grasp of traditional data center infrastructure, but is struggling with the benefits and migration path to a cloud computing environment, he adds. "Systems administrators and IT generalists will leave the discussion with a general overview of the options at their disposal to effectively build and manage their own cloud computing environments using free and open source software," Mark - who is Director, Cloud Computing Community at Citrix - says.
OpenStack – see Cloud Storage
PaaS – see also PaaS 2.0 | Platform as a Service | Private PaaS
PaaS 2.0 – If "PaaS 1.0" is what people are now seeing as strictly a tool to easily deploy apps to the infrastructure in a self-service way with little or no differentiation among offerings, then "PaaS 2.0" is what is needed in order for PaaS to reach its full potential. In a session entitled "Goodbye PaaS 1.0, Hello PaaS 2.0", Apprenda's Co-Founder & CEO Sinclair Schuller [Speaker Profile] will be explaining what it takes to make PaaS the modern day abstraction layer for software delivery. "We must enter the PaaS 2.0 phase," Schiller says, "in order to enable the next generation of applications to embrace and leverage the full power of cloud computing, multi-tenant SaaS architecture and highly efficient grid execution to deliver business critical applications at web scale."
Platform as a Service – see also PaaS 2.0 and Private PaaS
Platform as a Service –
PostgreSQL – DBAs should consider PostgreSQL to move database operations to public and private clouds. That, at least, is the view of Karen Padir, executive vice president of products and engineering at EnterpriseDB. In her 10th Cloud Expo session in New York, Karen will be explaining why, as well as providing delegates with tips and tricks to using PostgreSQL as the backend database for hybrid/private/public cloud environments. Her session is entitled, simply: "Why PostgreSQL is the Database for the Cloud".
Private PaaS – In her June session in NYC entitled "Private PaaS for the Enterprise & Beyond", ActiveState's Cloud Evangelist Diane Mueller will be discussing how Private PaaS technology gives control over where, when and how the cloud is leveraged. "I'll be showing Cloud Expo delegates how you can extend & ensure your private cloud investment with a private Platform-as-a-Service and provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your development teams," Diane says.
Private Cloud vs Public Cloud – see Hybrid Cloud
Public Cloud vs Private Cloud – see Hybrid Cloud
Real-World Cloud Computing – Cloud Computing is no longer just a noun, it's a verb - and 10th Cloud Expo is accordingly replete with sessions that showcase real uses by real companies in real verticals. Examples: "Leveraging the Cloud for Spatial Analytics and Intelligent Mapping" by Esri's Victoria Kouyoumjian;
Relational Sharding – see Scaling Big Data in the Cloud
Running Apps in the Cloud – see SHI Cloud
Running Big Data Applications – see Eucalyptus
Saving Lives with Cloud Computing – see Spatial Analytics (really!)
Scale-out Storage – In a session by Coraid CEO Kevin Brown, "Cloud Architectures Require Scale-out Storage", Cloud Expo delegates will be able in New York to learn how organizations are leveraging Ethernet SAN as the storage backbone of their dynamic public and private cloud architectures. "Virtualization combined with x86 servers has transformed the way we scale out compute resources," notes Brown. "Unfortunately, legacy Fibre Channel and iSCSI storage architectures are rooted in rigid mainframe-era designs, and are fundamentally mismatched with the dynamic, shared modern data center," he continues. Whereas with Ethernet SAN, he adds, "capacity and performance both scale linearly with user demand without forcing users into a complex tiered storage environment to deal with price-performance tradeoffs."
Scaling Big Data in the Cloud – What does it take to implement a comprehensive data infrastructure, including your core database, incorporating SQL, No SQL and Big Data platforms? This and other questions will be answered by Cory Isaacson, CEO of CodeFutures, in his session at 10th Cloud Expo. Based on his real-world experience as maker of dbShards with dozens of high-volume, data intensive applications, Cory will be nailing the whole topic of "Scaling Big Data in the Cloud" and will also be helping Cloud Expo delegates decide: which database technology is best for your application?
Secure Cloud Computing – Security features in many of the sessions at 10th Cloud Expo. In "How To Build a Secure Cloud Service", for example, CloudPassage VP Rand Wacker will be breaking down the top security considerations that are specific to the cloud and offering practical steps for securing cloud-based application development. Rand's session will include real-world success stories of self-protecting and autonomous servers in the cloud that are surviving the higher exposure level to threats and vulnerabilities.
Server Virtualization – As datacenters expand and cloud computing becomes a reality, there are challenges to implementing a one-size-fits-all strategy. In a 10th Cloud Expo session called "Server Virtualization: How to Choose the Right System for your Workload", ScaleMP Founder & CTO Shai Fultheim will discuss the ROI of implementing server virtualization for aggregation, and best practices for using it to achieve maximum benefits.

As enterprises work to take advantage of Big Data technologies, they frequently become distracted by product-level decisions.

It's always a battle trying to find healthy substitutes to my favorite comfort foods, but I have found a healthy alternative to chocolate chip cookies that (if you like coconut) you will probably fall in love with! I know I did. My husband actually said, "And how are these healthy?" after taking a bite – which translates to, "They taste like they should be bad for you!" These are fluffy, coconutty, chocolatey treats with that chocolate chip cookie taste you know and love. The best part? They are completely grain-free!
1/3 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup 100% pure maple syrup
1.5 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup finely shredded coconut
1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Throw all ingredients except the shredded coconut and chocolate chips into a Vitamix (or whatever blender you have) and blend until well combined. Use a rubber spatula to get all of the dough out of the blender and into a bowl. Fold the shredded coconut and chocolate chips into the dough. Using a tablespoon, scoop into 12 equal sized cookies on the cookie sheet. Bake for 13 minutes then remove from oven and allow to cool. Eat them all at once! Or not. That's just what we did because they were so delectable!

I have oracle dump file from Oracle8. I am trying to import data in Oracle 10. For importing data I am using PL/SQL Developer(buy the way, I have TOAD client). I am doing that by click Tools->Import Tables choose Oracle Import, and then choose Import file. after that click Ok, Done. so How I can find imported tables? I am using "sys" login. Database is located remotely.
UPDATE1 Ok. During importing I got this log
Export file created by EXPORT:V08.01.07 via conventional path
import done in CL8MSWIN1251 character set and AL16UTF16 NCHAR character set
import server uses WE8MSWIN1252 character set (possible charset conversion)
export client uses WE8ISO8859P1 character set (possible charset conversion)
export server uses WE8ISO8859P1 NCHAR character set (possible ncharset conversion)
. importing SYSTEM's objects into SYSTEM
. importing MD's objects into MD
....there some sql syntaxes
. . skipping table "MyTable"
WHY it is skipping?
end last
Import terminated successfully with warnings. :)
UPDATE2. The Issue was resolved by installing Oracle8 in virtual machine. Import was success.

Infinite Scroll: Always Looking
I've been single for nearly two years in New York City. That, coupled with the slow crawl to thirty – and my less resilient liver – means that many Friday evenings are spent watching TV on my sofa with a glass of wine. I sit in sweatpants and a t-shirt, a more sedentary, less glamorous reflection of the characters I watch.
There are certain truths – surprises – from my childhood that I spend considerable time reflecting on, wondering how I couldn't have known. The first is harmless: I wonder how I could have been virtually the last kid in the 4th grade to not know that Santa Clause was my mother.

Nazi Sex Doll??=[edit]
http://www.boingboing.net/2005/06/22/nazi_sex_doll_story_.html disproved - That link is dead, but it is still archived at: http://web.archive.org/web/20071002140945/http://www.boingboing.net/2005/06/22/nazi-sex-doll-story-.html
- not sure why the link to that hoax website has been left undebated that long in the article. I have inserted the link disproving it. Of course the debunking site is not highly reputable, but the source is not either. I could also add a link to the original debunker, but that is just a blog post, too. Maybe we could just scrap the complete paragraph, which is not based on any reliable sources? Camil7 (talk) 19:54, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
Ed Gein?[edit]
I removed the reference to Ed Gein under the doll suit section. Making a suit out of female corpses isn't the same as making one out of an inflatable doll. Ace of Sevens 10:11, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Image accompanying article not HQ sex doll[edit]
The image accompanying this article - Gum_girl.jpg - doesn't appear to be a "high quality sex doll" at all, but is actually of the pornographic model Renata Daninsky aka Peach (adult model). This can be established by visiting http://ww4.actiongirls.com/gallery8/Peaches where you'll find the same image alongside other photos of Daninsky. (Needless to say, the URL features nudity.) Demos99 21:26, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
- Just go ahead and remove it then. Would be nice if we could find an alternative image to use though. --GraemeL (talk) 21:32, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
- I thought that seemed awfully high quality. We need to get a picture of a RealDoll without copyright issues, though I suppose it would probably be fair use anyway. Ace of Sevens 01:03, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
RealDoll pic[edit]
I've added a pic of a RealDoll - no copyright strings attached as this is a photo taken specifically for this wikipedia article and released under the GNU license as per the owner. I can also get a closeup shot of the genital area, if there is a need for such a pic. Robotman1974 04:05, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Whilst back in 2006 the RealDoll brand was the only brand of silicone doll available the availability and technology has moved on very greatly in the intervening years and the brand is no longer the only sort of high quality doll around. In my personal opinion I found this photo, which pervades the subject in most languages rather offputting - repulsive - and in such lack of neutrality prejudicial to the subject. I have therefore obtained and supplied the image File:Sandydayoff.jpg which found widespread recognition as a sex doll when used as a mannequin posing on an advert for a second hand car on ebay. Published in print and numerous syndicated articles on the net [1], she has demonstrated recognisability for the genre and for that reason is arguably representative. I have mentioned this on my discussion page and upon that of SQGibbon but it is appropriate arguably for record on this page directly attached to the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dollist (talk • contribs) 10:30, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
External links[edit]
In response to Luftballoons's comment on my talk page here, I removed the link that was added because to me it looked like a collection of commercial product plugs configured to look like a 'consumer' article on sex toys. Also, judging from a look at Luftballoons's contributions, it appears to me as if this user is only interested in adding similar links to articles on adult entertainment subjects. I could be wrong of course, so I suggest that before the link is added again, a request for comment is made. This can be done here. Also, it is important to keep in mind that Wikipedia is not a repository for links. See also Wikipedia:External links. Robotman1974 22:11, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
I removed this link from the article because to me it appears to be an advertisement. Promotional or commercial material doesn't belong on Wikipedia. Robotman1974 01:29, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
blowmeupsexdolls.com reply from Darwin[edit]
Dr. Darwinc 23:05, 1 November 2006 (UTC) Thank you for your reply. I didn't know at first that I was spamming by adding my link repeatedly whenever it was removed. I apologize for that.
I ask for someone to review this site more thoroughly and consider its valuable contents. It has through descriptions and images of blown up sex dolls. You will be able to see at least more that 5 angle views of each doll that are blown up.
To date we have spent over $15,000.00 to construct this site- have the dolls inflated and professionally photographed for everyone's use. My site is not a place to purchase these dolls but we do accept affiliates and that is how we get revenue.
Just for you to know I have posted my question on the general forum (here at Wikipedia) and the replies were great, there was link exchange because they thought that the website offers in depth descriptions and detailed images to someone who wants to know more about a sex doll. I have received a lot of compliments and praises too.
I do think that my site has a niche that Wikipedia can be proud of. Wikipedia would be losing out on this if you guys decide otherwise.
I can provide Wikipedia with a doll's image if you allow me too.
Please let me know your decison on this one so I can stop bugging you. I will wait for your reply in this matter. Thank you for your attention and time.Dr. Darwinc 23:05, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
- Hi Dr. Darwinc. My opinion hasn't changed, but if a consensus among Wikipedia editors is reached I'll abide by that decision. Can you please post a link on this page to the discussion on the general forum you mentioned? Robotman1974 23:14, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
blowmeupsexdolls.com inquiry Dr. Darwinc 23:39, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[edit]
Hello Sir:
I browsed the wiki page below and it has a link that sells vibrators... I have enclosed the links for your review.
Why were these allowed to stay on a wiki page when it appears to be an advertising page?
Seeing this wiki page is unfair. My doll site should be included because as I have mentioned before it is not an ad but an educational website. Please reply to my email. Thank you for your time.
- Hi again. For starters, what appears on or what is considered appropriate for other Wikipedia articles is irrelevant to Wikipedia policy. Sorry to be so blunt. If those links you mentioned are indeed violations of Wikipedia policy, then you should mention them at Talk:Vibrator (sensual). Considering the link I removed from Sex doll, my opinion has not changed. Please see Wikipedia:External links. Robotman1974 00:03, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
Question? From Darwin Dr. Darwinc[edit]
Hello Sir:
No problem , no offense taken.
Is there a higher officer that I can speak to regarding my sex doll pagelink? Can you tell me how I can contact him? I can at least show them the similarity of my situation to that of the vibrator contributor.
I do apologize if I am being pushy but I think that my site should be included in Wikipdia. There is no other site like it.
I will wait for your reply.
- You can go here and follow the instructions: Wikipedia:Requests for comment. Also read: Wikipedia:Resolving disputes. Robotman1974 00:54, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
WOW what a site blowmeupsexdolls.com. why it's not listed here? there in no where you can see sex dolls like this. unbelievable grate site. i will post it on my blog!!!
wikipedia...list this site, very cool, i glad i saw this discussion
I've just removed a reference to an author and a short story again. See the difference here. If anyone can provide real evidence that this author and story satisfy Wikipedia's policy on notability (WP:N), then I'll add it again. Robotman1974 03:05, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Phantom Wax Doll[edit]
Are we absolutely sure that the Christine Wax Doll possessed by the Phantom of the Opera had an alternate use as a sex doll? Frankly, this seems absurd to me without any information to back it up. Some people, you realize, might use such a figure for the creepy purpose of modelling a wedding dress, as was the only obvious use for the mannequin used in the movie.
I propose a removal of this consideration. -EarthRise33 19:07, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
- The proposal has been around for almost five days now with no comment, so I am removing the reference. -EarthRise33 19:08, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
Doll Suit[edit]
In reviewing edits by an opinionated and assertive (and block-worthy) IP user, i find that their first edit removed, without edit summary or discussion on this talk page, the then 12-and-a-fraction-month-old section Doll suit, which had seen apparently constructive discussion on this talk page (and apparently at least the edit it discusses, and the addition of a {{fact}} tag). My restoration of the section via an undo and resetting of the fact-tag date is intended as reversion of what i take to be either PoV vandalism or hasty overriding of what amounts to a de facto consensus.
--Jerzy•t 23:00, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
wikipedia is stoping information[edit]
When someone puts in information about a subjeked in ? it should be alowed. IN sex doll the subjeced is sex dolls. People should know more about the items out there not just the ones you seem to like. there are more. wikipedia lets us post things we know about . just to edit them to there liking. Keysthedog —Preceding unsigned comment added by Keysthedog (talk • contribs) 06:42, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
Would "Air Doll" fit in this article?[edit]
Would "Air Doll," a Japanese movie about a sex doll that comes to life and goes out into the community, fit in this article? For much of the movie she is definately an inanimate object with a vagina that can be removed for cleaning, but at time in the move she appears to be a living woman -- at the least she is portrayed in much of film by a living female actress rather than by stop-action animation or modern special effects. I'm taking no sides here, only asking the question because I didn't notice "Air Doll" mentioned in the article. Thanks. (220.127.116.11 (talk) 21:50, 12 February 2011 (UTC))
- Possibly yes, in a section "In popular culture", similar to that on the RealDoll page. Then I am no expert on the subtle parts of the wikipedia policy ... Camil7 (talk) 21:06, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
On other language equivalent versions of this page there is a section for Sex Dolls in the media / associated art, and IMHO Air Doll is a most notable step in the bringing of the doll and the psychology of the doll into a wider public arena. In addition from the page for Agalmatophilia and in particular Hans_Bellmer we see mention of "The 2003 film Love Object contains clear references to Bellmer's work, including the protagonist's obsessive relationship with a sex doll and the use of Bellmer's name as a leading character, Lisa Bellmer." which appears directly relevant. A heading "In popular culture" appears increasingly appropriate. Dollist (talk) 10:20, 1 July 2014 (UTC) "In popular culture" might include http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/05/10/miley-cyrus-g-a-y-performance-london-naked_n_5300421.html on account of performance publicly featuring blow up dolls.Dollist (talk) 11:37, 7 July 2014 (UTC) It should be noted that Air Doll was the title of a Japanese film about an inflatable doll who came to life and as such is evidence of the term having come into public use and understanding. It leads further into the psychology of dolls which can be more empathetic rather than sexual and inspirational in the course of art.Dollist (talk) 00:44, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
"CybOrgasMatrix dolls use an innovative material—a very elastic gel with a strong shape memory, which, they have shown in side-by-side tests, is superior to silicone in realism, elasticity, shape memory, and durability. Additional features include a pelvic thruster motor and audio capability (using wireless headphones)."
This sounds like spam to me. We could say something like "new materials are being used in sex dolls, such as elastic gels."--188.8.131.52 (talk) 20:58, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
- I agree, it comes across as spam, and an advertisement. More so because the company developing this so called advanced technology has either stopped trading or hasn't updated the website since 2005. Anyone looking for more information, or to verify the source will only have the one place for information, an outdated website. The website also provides no proof for the claims and therefore a citation is needed which cannot be provided. Please remove the text and any reference to the website until such a time that the claims can be proved or debated in a fair manner. "Encyclopedic content must be verifiable" 188.8.131.52 (talk) 19:40, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
- Also the at least the "News" section of that company has not been updated since 2011 ... I tried to improve the section a bit, but I am not so pleased with the results (though I still think it is an improvement). Feel free to revert, or preferably improve my edits. By the way, the "material love dolls" sentence at the end of that section is asked for citation, and I only found groups.yahoo.com/group/materiallovedolls which I cannot read (not a member) and I guess that does not qualify for wikipedia standards. What else could be used to fill that? Camil7 (talk) 20:56, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
CybOrgasMatrix is no longer prominent in the field and whatever they did was a blip rather than a lasting advance. This paragraph needs attention accordingly. Dollist (talk) 11:36, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
Use of "silicone dolls" as posable mannequins for non-sexual use[edit]
This article starts to highlight non-sexual use of silicone dolls as posable mannequins for art and photography. This is hard to demonstrate other than by links to manufacturer's websites specifying such use as a stated intention and it appears to be an increasingly Chinese phenonomen. Using Google translate: [www.realmodel.com.cn/product_list.html] states: "Reality can be used as a work of art doll --- furnishings, the more valuable the higher level, there is a skeleton within each doll, do any angle transformation, can resolve objects as confidantes physiological and psychological pressures demand the best products. A married woman to her husband to purchase, to avoid third party intervention, but also as a close bodyguard.
B. buy real doll groups:
1 singles (20-65 years old)
2 doll collectors
3 portrait sketch artist and human
4. Advertisers
5 businesses" [http://www.dsdoll.us/dolls.html] states: "The life-sized simulation doll is a kind of human model whose height is extremely similar to the real person's. Inside it, galvanized metal skeleton and a variety of mechanical parts are assembled and its structure conforms to the activity scope of the human body. Moreover, its pose can be fixed for photo taking. It has an extreme degree of simulation and its clothes and hairstyle, etc. can be changed according to personal preferences like the current models. It is the ultimate form of dolls and models and can be used for photography models, fashion shows and interior decorations and so on."
The advances of materials and production technology have led to what was traditionally regarded as the "sex doll" achieving a realism beyond mere sex so as to effect a transformation beyond the imagination of those seeking salacious gossip about intended purposes of dolls and speculation about what sort of person might "resort" to "using" them.
The monthly Coverdoll magazine is an example of photographic work with dolls and [http://coverdoll.com/drupal/node/1855] is a good example
Is this a dimension that the page might start to encompass more and if so how best might it be achieved? Dollist (talk) 18:02, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
Links to videos[edit]
http://xhamster.com/movies/2427622/the_production_of_a_sex_doll.html is relevant but the links from there to pornography are potentially a problem. Is there a way to overcome that? Dollist (talk) 00:41, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
Currently, the section on sexbots doesn't have much actual information on what a "sexbot" is, instead going into detail on how people are trying to have them banned. So, it's a little UNDUE. I've seen some blog posts recently speculating that sexbots may make women "obsolete," which is an interesting perspective. Has anything like this been discussed in the mainstream press? Cla68 (talk) 23:30, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
- It would also make men "obsolete," unless we are to believe that the bots will only have a female appearance. Well, putting sexual reproduction aside, the "obsolete" aspects will only work if the bots can ever live up to the real-deal as far as anatomy, emotions and performance go. Anyway, the section in question clearly shows that the mainstream press has picked this story up. It doesn't deserve its own Wikipedia article, though. Flyer22 (talk) 00:55, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
- There's a cite there from Vanity Fair, isn't there? That's mainstream. You're more likely to find the topic discussed in culture- and society-oriented outlets (or even some edgy technology-oriented ones) rather than the NY Times or the Washington Post. BMK (talk) 01:02, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

When the Phillies reported to spring training a little over three months ago, the depth at third base was minimal.
There was incumbent Cody Asche, who played 50 games as a rookie at the position last year. There was Kevin Frandsen, who was never known for his defense, which was one of the reasons he wasn't even in camp any more before camp broke in March. There was defensive wiz Freddy Galvis, a nice option but not really viewed as a starting candidate at third. And then there was Maikel Franco, the right-handed slugging top prospect who hit 36 home runs between Class A Clearwater and Double-A Reading last season.
Franco began this season at Triple-A. But when Asche was placed on the DL this weekend, Franco, who turns 22 in August, was not summoned to the big leagues, even if management did admit they gave it thought.
"He's just not playing good enough baseball yet, he's not really ready to be a big leaguer yet," general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said prior to Tuesday's game at Citizens Bank Park. "There's no reason to bring Franco unless he's ready to be a big leaguer as far as I'm concerned. If he puts together a few days. Offensively, he's made some adjustments, he's made some improvements better than in the earlier part of the season, but he's not really going on all cylinders now. We're still contemplating it. We'll see how it goes."

Ease Dropping Radio - Chicago Dave & Pevie Interview
Founder of Ease Dropping Radio starts off the fall season on the fashion tip with "Fuck Fame" designer Chicago Dave.
Ease Dropping Radio
Ebonie Camille created a network advertising local artist of the Chicago land area. Based off the online show "Ease Dropping" I created the spinoff "Ease Dropping Network". The show didn't touch as many issues that I wanted to present so I decided to create a blog. The Blog wasn't enough to showcase other people's music so I branched off. The best thing about EDN is that you can create your own space with tools to enhance your advertising. What makes EDN different from other sites is that its main objective is to cater to local artist. You may find the diamonds in the rough on EDN. Models, rappers, singers, music producers, short films, and fashion designers are included in the network. Please take the time out to join the gift I created just for you. It's short as easy. Create a wonderful page in minutes. I hope you enjoy this treasure that I have presented to Chicago. Other major cities are welcomed. Let's combined mold and change the Midwest for good.

Revlon Grow Luscious Plumping Mascara
116 reviews
38% would repurchase
Package Quality: 3.5
Price: $$
Package Quality: 3.5
Price: $$
Age: 19-24
Skin: Very Oily, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Other, Other
Eyes: Blue
I'm really surprised that this doesn't have more positive reviews! I have the waterproof version in blackest black and I LOVE it. I would say I have average lashes (not too short, not really long), but I also have blonde/light brown lashes so I need a really dark mascara. I don't think the formula is really wet or really dry, it's somewhere in between. It makes my lashes SO long and thick. I don't think it is a "natural" mascara but I don't think it is really clumpy either. The waterproof version also isn't impossible for me to talk off (like covergirl lash blast). Really good mascara, I'd recommend it
Age: 25-29
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Cool
Hair: Brunette, Curly, Fine
Eyes: Blue
I love this mascara! The brush is thick and dense, you curl lashes before applying and it holds them in place. I have to admit I don't prefer the waterproof, it gets really clumpy, but if you go fast and smooth even the water proof is pretty great! At just over $6 a tube I would call this worth a try for any woman with short, sparse, lashes ore even just ones that need a bit more glam to them.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I loveee this mascara. I noticed after using a lot of regular mascaras, my eyelashes were short and sparse in some areas... I've been using this Revlon mascara for a bit over a month I believe and now when I put it on, recently I've noticed I seem to have more lashes than before! I'm not sure if they've gotten longer, I think my bottom lashes have, but there are definitely more of them.
The only bad thing is, SOMETIMES, but not all the time, it put little black dots under my eyes and under my eyebrows. I think it was just on the really humid days though. Although it rained today and my mascara still looks nice.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Other, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
got this in 001 blackest black NON-waterproof.
Got this in a gift pack, seemed like a ridiculous gimmick. i tried it and didnt like it, then gave it another chance.
my own opinion:
-looks black.
-contains tiny lash fibres that act similarly to lash extentions
-A small amount looks really nice (good daytime mascara)
-makes lashes look longer
-a little volume
-really wet, takes a while to dry after application
-Does not hold curl as much as i like
-smudges/flakes a little after a while.
-clumps if you keep adding for volume.
-If applied too much in the morning, it gets annoying to remove at night because it dries up at the eyelashes.
-HUGE wand that is slightly tapered. for me, it was annoying to get the roots of my outer corner eyelashes. the wand just seemed huge.
I can see myself continuing to use it, just a light coating everyday but i wouldnt repurchase because in australia, drugstore is batshit expensive. Now as for the growth bit, i havent been using it for that long but ive noticed my lashes look nicer than they were looking a week ago. They look nicer but i cant tell if they necessarily look longer or plumper.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Sensitive, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Other, Other
Eyes: Blue
I actually really enjoyed this mascara, and I'm pretty picky about what I use. Though it does sometimes clump a bit you can get rid of them by one sweep of a lash comb. It also surprisingly made a difference in my lashes. They don't fall out as much as they use to, and they even seem to have grown a bit.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I saw Sam from pixiwoo using this mascara on her tutorials recently and decided to try it on myself. To my surprise, this product actually works after using it for about 2 weeks. I've noticed that my lashes has grown fuller and longer and i would definitely recommend others like me (ASIAN) to try it out. It's really a great product for such a reasonable price. Last but not least, it did smudge a little on me but i've super oily lids so i think it should be fine for most of you.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Medium, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Coarse
Eyes: Brown
This mascara is considered a SAFETY HAZARD. I do not recommend you put this on then drive. I think the biggest issue with this mascara is that it flakes like you wouldn't believe! I put this on and within a few hours, the mascara began to flake off in chunks and getting into my eyes. I tried wiping the chunks out but they were really bad and obstructing my vision. The formula goes on wet but dries extremely fast (within 30 seconds). If you wait too long to layer, it will clump and make lashes look like spider leges. If you still want to layer this mascara, you need to do it in lightening speed! I find that overall, this mascara provides a natural looking lash with some separation. However, it doesn't provide any length or volume, imo. There are only two good qualites I found with this mascara: 1. It contains no horrible strong scent & 2. The brush is shaped nice. The brush tapers at the end so you can reach those tiny lashes at the inner corners. My final thoughts: I hate it :(
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Other, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Curly, Fine
Eyes: Other
After trying the original grow luscious product, I wanted to try the plumping version to see if it's better. In my opinion, it's just about the same.
While it adds decent volume, and even though I'm using the waterproof version, it doesn't seem to hold my curl. Definition and volume are mediocre at most, it's nice but nothing that another drugstore mascara can't do.
The formula is like the original, slightly wetter in formula but became dry really quick. Once it got dry, it also began to flake more and smudge under my eyes. Also after a month of using this, I haven't found my lashes grow at all. Decent product but I'm sure there are better
Age: Unknown
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Blond, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Blue
Wow,huge dissappointment for this mascara.I purchased this since it was $4.99 & wanted to try something else besides a cheaper brand I buy.This was great at first on my lashes,after a few minutes they seemed clumped & hard.I'll stick with other brand =)
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Other
Eyes: Brown
I didn't really like anything about this mascara. It doesn't make my lashes look good, it clumps and is too dry for me. I apply the mascara, and it's dry before I even get a chance to brush through it with a lashcomb, and if I try to use the lashcomb it looks flakey and awful. The brush is my enemy! No matter how careful I am when applying I always mess up around the eyes, so the next time I'm buying a new mascara I'm gonna stay away from those kind of brushes. Not buying this again.

Very funny! A little too much sex humor, but that's to be expected in stand-up, I guess. The audience roast was very impressive, and the opener was great, too. Enjoyed the night very much.

Nothing too major... But today I went to go to class and my tire was dead flat. I hadn't ridden it for a week, but eh. Anyways I pumped it back completely full, and after 12+ hours it was still completely full.
Is there any reason why it randomly went flat? Should I replace the tube to be on the safe side? I don't want to get stranded if it's going to crap out on me. I don't like changing the tube, but if it's best to do so I will lol

conversation on the meaning of "religion." Sponsored by the Department of theology and Religious Studies, this public event takes place at 7 p.m.on March 3 in Wyckoff Auditorium on the Seattle University campus.
Panelists will discuss the question of
whether religion is an individual worldview, a social institution, a communal
identity, a set of practices, or something else. They will engage this question in its relationship to the sacred texts of the Hebrew Bible, Christian Bible, and the Quran as preparation for a later conversation on how "religion" legitimizes or opposes violence in the name of God. We invite you to join us for an evening of listening to one another as we
seek a shared language that can honor differences without hostility or rancor.
Lawrence, Ph.D.,is assistant professor of Hebrew Bible and Jewish
Studies in the Theology and Religious Studies Department. Wes Howard-Brook, J.D.,
M.Div., teaches Christian theology and the New Testament in the Theology and
Religious Studies Department. Mohammad Fani, M.S., director
of interfaith for the OneWorld2011, serves as a member of Northwest Interfaith
Community Outreach and the Interfaith Committee Chair at the Islamic
Educational Center of Seattle.
