Diamonds are a girl's best friend. For Dame Elizabeth Taylor, they were also a great love (behind Richard Burton, natch). But because not every woman can have a jewelry collection valued at $30 million, Taylor created her White Diamonds scent. "[Fragrance] is the most accessible luxury," noted Taylor shortly before her death last March.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Taylor's still best-selling scent. She drew inspiration from the flowers in her garden—narcissi, gardenias and lilies—in order to create a sensual floral. Taylor wanted to imbue the perfume with a sense of glamour, from the sparkling, faux diamond-encrusted bottle to the name, a reflection of her love for sparkle. However, her primary goal was not to represent herself, but to create a scent that she loved to wear and could share with others. "We have really succeeded in giving women a little bit of luxury every day," Taylor remarked about the 20th anniversary of White Diamonds. She aimed to share a little sparkle with everyone who wore the scent.
To celebrate the anniversary of its debut, White Diamonds Elizabeth Taylor is available as a gift set ($60; Click to Buy) with a sleek new bottle—still wrapped in faux diamonds, of course.

4-time winner Pruett suggests 'epic' battle at 51st Rolex 24
Endurance race scheduled to start at 3:30 p.m. Saturday
Published: Saturday, January 26, 2013 at 5:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, January 27, 2013 at 11:05 a.m.

The winners often won simply because they didn't break down or wreck.
But over the years, the cars and all their moving mechanical parts have become so bulletproof, full-scale breakdowns have become rare. The sight of two cars on the lead lap in the 24th hour, once very rare, has become routine.
Expect more of the same from the 51st edition of this Saturday-Sunday endurance spectacle. In fact, Scott Pruett, whose four Rolex victories suggest he knows about such things, has predicted an "epic" race.
"Short of contact, we can run these cars really hard," he said. "We've shown over the last three years that from the drop of the green flag, we can run a very aggressive sprint pace. You just have to be very careful not to get caught up in traffic or get into somebody else's mistake.
"Over the years, the cars have been developed enough -- brakes, gearbox, engine -- where they are meant to go thousands of miles. I think this will be an epic race. Coming down to the checkered flag, it's truly going to be epic."
The Rolex 24 will get the green flag at 3:30 Saturday. Leading the way will be a pair of Daytona Prototypes belonging to Chip Ganassi Racing. Pruett is in the pole-winning No. 01 entry (127.455 mph). Scott Dixon, who earned the outside pole position (127.337) in the No. 02 car during Thursday's time trials, will be to Pruett's right when the cars pull off the grid.
There are 17 Daytona Prototypes highlighting the 57-car field. Barring mass mechanical issues or on-track mayhem, Sunday's overall winner will come from that 17-car division, while the GT and GX classes will battle among themselves for class championships in this unique three-races-within-a-race event.

China Cross-Cultural Takes Students Out of Comfort Zones
The 14-hour flight from Washington, D.C., to Beijing was the first time Josh Martin had ever flown. It was also the first time he'd been out of the country, and pretty much the first time he had ever really traveled at all, except for the away games that occasionally took him out of state during his four years as an infielder for the baseball team at Eastern Mennonite University (EMU). ...More

ARTCRANK brings out the best in Denver's bike scene and creative culture.
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
If there's such thing as a pop culture power couple, Tran and Josh Wills are Denver's leading contenders. Together, they've channeled their imaginations, instincts and energy into creative start-ups ranging from a fashion boutique showcasing local talent (The Fabric Lab) to a hip b&b for Denver visitors eager to depart from the beaten tourist path (Queen Anne Bed & Breakfast). They've also found time to open their own gallery — Super Ordinary —which will play host to the 2011 edition of ARTCRANK Denver, a poster show featuring affordable artwork created by local artists and designers.
This year's ARTCRANK Denver will feature the work of 30 artists, with a mix of returning show veterans and new talent. The show will open on Friday, September 2 at 6:00pm at Super Ordinary, and also include a Saturday showing from noon until 6:00pm. Admission is free, and limited edition prints of all posters will be sold for $40 on both days.
Tran and Josh first teamed up with Minneapolis-based ARTCRANK founder Charles Youel to bring the show to Denver in 2009, a raucous event that filled Colfax Avenue with bike and art lovers eager to take in (and take home) bike-inspired artwork. Since then, they've added new wrinkles to the show, like fashion created using actual bike parts and a tattoo artist doing live ink work. The opening night festivities on Friday will include a short film by local designer Baily Rose, plus the return of the fashion show. And Saturday is set up to be more family-friendly, with a Fun Bike Photo Booth by Denver photographer Sara Ford.
According to Tran Wills, it's all part of evolving the show outward from its roots: "There's so much crossover in Denver between people who love bikes and the creative community. For ARTCRANK, the posters are always the focus, but we always want to show other ways that bikes inspire people to create art."
The eclectic atmosphere is one of the reasons that ARTCRANK keeps coming back to Denver year after year. "To me, art and cycling are both about taking chances and pushing boundaries," says Youel. "The last thing we want ARTCRANK to be is predictable, so we're always incorporating new stuff that helps us connect with people in our host communities. Working with Josh and Tran challenges us to expand our idea of what the show can be, and I'd like to think that working with ARTCRANK has given them a new perspective on their creative ventures."
ARTCRANK Denver will also provide show attendees with a chance to support the Boulder, CO-based International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA) by doing something else that comes naturally to cyclists: Enjoying a cold beer. Widmer Brothers Brewing is donating beer to the event, and proceeds from the sale of ARTCRANK pint glasses will go to support IMBA's work to build, maintain and protect mountain bike trails.
Youel hasn't seen any of the posters for the 2011 show yet, but he's not worried. "Our Denver artists have consistently produced amazing work that reflects every perspective on cycling you can imagine. Hanging the show is like opening Christmas presents. I can't wait to see what people come up with this year." With prints of all posters selling for just $40, bike and art lovers should start making room on their walls now.

SEATTLE -- Todd Wakefield earned an at-large berth to the NCAA DI Cross Country Championships after he and Ruby Roberts were the top finishers for the Washington State cross country teams Friday afternoon under cold but sunny skies at the NCAA West Regional Cross Country Championships held at the Jefferson Park Golf Course in Seattle.
Wakefield, a sophomore middle distance specialist from Australia, placed 14th overall after running the 10,000 meters course in a time of 30 minutes, 1 second. He was one of four individuals selected from the regional for an at-large berth to the NCAA Championships, Nov. 17 in Louisville, Ky. Last year Wakefield took 39th at the West Regional as the WSU men finished fourth as a team. He was the final scorer at 151st for the Cougar men's team that finished 21st at the 2011 NCAA Championships. The 2012 at-large selections were announced by the NCAA late Friday evening.
"It was nice to have a good race today," Wakefield said. "The team raced really well but unfortunately injuries played more of a part in our results than we were hoping. Everyone gave it their all today; we left it all out on the course. We executed our race plan very well, the West Region just happens to be the deepest in the NCAA."
Drew Jordan finished 36th (30:27) with Andrew Gonzales 37th (30:27) and Lee George 39th (30:27). Andrew Kimpel, coming off a hamstring injury that kept him out of the Pac-12 Championships, finished a disappointing 98th (31:25) to round out the Cougar scoring. Forrest Shaffer (102nd - 31:34) and Richard Shroy (143rd - 32:33) rounded out the WSU competitors.
Arizona's Lawi Lalang (29:02) and Stephen Sambu (29:38) finished one-two in the men's race with Stanford winning the team title with 45 points. Portland was second with 107 points followed by UCLA (128), Oregon (135) and Washington (165). The WSU men finished seventh with 223 points.
Roberts (junior, Kingston, Wash.) finished 50th running the women's 6k course in 20:57 and Caroline Austin (senior, Chehalis, Wash.) was 53rd in a time of 21:03. Other Cougar women and their finishes Friday included Courtney Zalud (125th - 21:59), Emily Dwyer (150th - 22:21), Kiah Condos (167th - 22:43), Abby Knight (171st - 22:51), and CharLee Linton (185th - 23:26).
Oregon's Jordan Hasay won the individual title in a time of 19:16 and led the Ducks to the team title with 64 points. Stanford and Arizona tied for second place with 85 points with Washington (96) and San Francisco (151) rounding out the top five. The Cougar women's team finished 19th among the 28 women's teams.
"I am very proud of how our men and women raced today," Cougar Coach Tim Riley said. "To get out of this region and make it to nationals we knew everyone had to have their best race of the season. On the men's side, we had four guys that did just that today but we came up just short of our team goal. On the women's side, the experience of Ruby, Caroline and Courtney really showed today and it will be nice to have more of that experience next year."

During the Daffodil Days, more than 70,000 daffodils were delivered throughout the state to bring cancer patients hope. The American Cancer Society's hope is a world with less cancer, more birthdays.
Fox 13's Kerri Cronk emceed, the luncheon was dedicated to the memory of philanthropist Shuan P. McCarthey and the highlight was Attorney General Mark Shurtleff's inspirational speech on the Politics of Healing.
Shurtleff was diagnosed with cancer late last year and wore his son's "I love boobies" breast cancer wrist band to the luncheon. He talked about how politics was originally created to guarantee individual happiness through social interaction of the whole, a lot like support for cancer patients.
"I don't care how big and tough you are; it's impossible to have hope without the support of the people around you," Shurtleff said. "That's what brings hope, those around us who lift us up. Shurtleff's speech was met with a standing ovation."
This year's sponsors are Fox 13, McCarthey Family Foundation, Utah Cancer Foundation, FM100 and Salt Lake magazine.
Here are photos from the event:

Eve once made a 20k thread. Devil responded that it was stupid and that 20k is not a good milestone. From that day forward it was my mission to prove him wrong. My sole reason for living.
This will be a countdown of the Top 10 posts every made on PD. None of them will be from me, as that would just be unfair. They are graded on quality, preference and historical value!!!!
A true tragedy of this list is that some posts were deleted. Such is the story of our #10 post, but I will try to recreate it. It was in the mod thread, and Pikatwo made post of why he should be mod. Devil responded by MERKING HIM very effectively, like Devil always does. This is a showcase of why I love Devil.
10.Originally Posted by PikatwoI can't recreate it nearly how it was but this gives you an idea. The real thing was much better.Originally Posted by Devil
9.Kelsh is great now but she used to be fairly shit and named Luna. Fullmetal tore it into her with this post and this is the SECOND best flame in PD history. Kelsh proves there is hope for anyone as she is no longer awful!Originally Posted by Fullmetal
8.Yes, I wrote it, but it was posted by Dogar so it counts.Originally Posted by Dogar The Brave
7.This was a collaboration post made by me and Dogar on the phone. It was especially great because it was posted in the middle of some really gay serious debate. Wonderful satire this!Originally Posted by Dogar the Brave
6.Devil's STFU Ripdo image. If you need explaination as to what makes this great, you need to leave.Originally Posted by Devil
5.Originally Posted by Fullmetal
There HAS to be a Ripdo post here. And this is perhaps the best example of what Ripdo was. What is she talking about? Who the fuck knows? Why did she say that? WHO THE FUCK KNOWS. You can hardly wrap your head around how a person would even think to post something like that. But it's hilarious in its stupidity, and it's Ripdo. She was black.Originally Posted by Ripdo
4. Number 4 is the tragedy of this list. It was deleted, and I can't even ATTEMPT to re-create it. It was Mario's massive flame to chrizz the day he joined. It was the greatest flame in internet history. Just imagine how great you think it is, then realize it's WAY better. This is a sad number.
3.I laughed for about an hour after I read this. What really makes it, is it was in the original confession thread, and he went back and EDITED the "I confess" part so that he STAYED ON TOPIC OF THE CONFESSION THREAD. aaaaaaaashagshagshagshagsOriginally Posted by DragoniteAdy
2.If you didn't catch it, Red says Jesus was a psychic and insinuated he had a homosexual affair. He is being 100% serious. This is a historic post, and it set up who Red was known to be. Devil says this is the only post in PD history that make him legit lol. It's great and it has HISTORICAL IMPACT.Originally Posted by Red530
And now we are at the best post in PD history. I was on the phone and Dogar told me he found the best image ever, I told him to show it to me but he refused, saying the time must be right. Then, kg made a thread called "Daily Dose of Dilbert", where she would post a Dilbert comic every day. He says ITS TIME. I look in the thread ...
1.It's Grotesque it's shocking. You don't know wether to laugh or throw up. Maybe do both at the same time. It was timed perfectly and at the time posting porn was still very TABOO here. it was dubbed "The Penis Bomb" and holds true. This post is number one due to shock factor, it was hilarious, over the line, RISKY, and became an entity of it's own. The Penis Bomb is a term known by all even if they never saw it. It is a deserving Number One post of all time.Originally Posted by Dogar the Brave

Latest news for depakote
Did you know in the United States, there are approximately 500, 000 individuals with Autism in the 15 to 24 year-old "learning to drive" age range? With that being said, ISIS Healthcare is proud to support the fundraising campaign for a new interactive iPad App for individuals on the Autism Spectrum. Why is this interactive iPad App so important? Like most of us, people with High-Functioning Autism (HFA) or Asperger's Syndrome (AS) need to get around for work, school, and social activities. Although people with HFA and AS have average or above-average intelligence, their unique learning style may make it difficult for them to learn to drive. A major challenge is managing the overwhelming amount of visual information on the road. [depakote] This is why Drive Fit is being created. It is a new iPad App that develops the user's depakote awareness of the road using a systematic scanning technique with groundbreaking technology and interactive videos. Drive Fit develops this essential skill and builds self-confidence before getting behind the wheel of a car. The new App may reduce anxiety when learning to search the road as a driver. The App will train the user to sift through the enormous amount of visual stimulus encountered while driving, and to focus on the critical information. The App will also enable the user to slow down the drive and then increase the speed as they improve. It's practice you can't get on the road! This project can help those with High-functioning Autism learn to drive, get around independently, and gain a new level of self-confidence and control. Learn more about the Drive Fit App at our Indiegogo crowdfunding site: http://igg. me/at/drivefit
*Timing is critical – the fundraising deadline is March 14 depakote, 2014* If you are interested in this project, please: • Spread the word • Forward this information • Contribute to the fundraising campaign • Show your support through the Twitter and Facebook links on Indiegogo -- http://www. Depakote indiegogo. com/projects/drive-fit-ipad-app-to-train-drivers-with-asperger-s-and-autism ISIS Healthcare Services offers Driver Rehab and Training at our facility for individuals with HFA or AS.

Meet families who raise monkeys as if they were their very own children and experts who weigh in on the controversy.

|Hartz, Dittmer earn WAC Athletes of the Week
DENVER - The Western Athletic Conference honored two Idaho track and field athletes on Tuesday with Verizon Wireless Track and Field Athlete of the Week accolades for the week of March 29-April 4.
Junior Paul Dittmer was awarded the Men's Track Athlete of the Week award, while junior Ulrike Hartz earned WAC Women's Field Athlete of the Week.
Dittmer (Hanstedt, Germany/Gymnasium Winsen) finished fourth in the men's 110m hurdles at the Texas Relays with a time of 13.87, which is the second-fastest time of his career and the fastest by a WAC athlete this year. The race moved him to sixth in the West Region and 10th in the NCAA in the event.
Hartz (Fürth, Germany/Martin Luther Universität Halle-Wittenberg) took second in the women's 'B' section of the javelin throw on Saturday with a toss of 157-4 (47.96m), which improves on her standing of second all-time at Idaho. The throw is the best by a WAC athlete this year and ranks 21st nationally.
Dittmer's honor is the fifth of his career, while Hartz earns the honor for the first time in her career. Their awards give Idaho three Athlete of the Week honors so far in the 2010 outdoor season.
The Idaho men and women will be in action this weekend in Spokane at the WAR III Regional Dual, hosted by Community Colleges of Spokane. The meet pits eight Washington schools against eight schools from Idaho, Montana and Oregon in a "Washington vs. The World" dual scoring meet.

Ever since Giant Step blogger Rehes introduced us to Grillade in their SXSW adventures, we've seen the group move on up in the blogosphere, their video "Dream Of You (Emotionally Yours)" just featured as video of the day on AOL.com, premiered on Okayplayer. Unearthed, adored and reinvented by Grillade, "Just A Sad Christmas" is the group's first official release and is available on iTunes, Amazon and other digital retailers now.
Neither holly nor jolly, the song is a cover, originally performed by Soul Duo and recorded for their second ever 7" single in 1969. Grillade vocalist Ragen Fykes: "'Sad Christmas' embodies the soul of Christmas now. It has meat, it has bite. It reflects on the vast majority that are shadowed by Jingle Bells. Not everybody is standing under the mistletoe this year, not everyone is having a Holly Jolly Christmas. Its The christmas song you would never hear, but should hear. It offers a musical release from Grillade, for those in need. Tis the season."

The lamp, called Little Sun, provides clear, affordable energy to places dependent on costly and toxic kerosene lighting in sub-Saharan Africa, said Bloomberg Philanthropies, the charity of the billionaire businessman and former mayor.
The foundation said it will provide a low-interest rate loan to help the business grow.
"Too many families are forced to breathe in toxic kerosene fumes because they don't have access to electricity," Bloomberg said in a statement. "Little Sun is bringing clean, safe, affordable light to people who don't have it today."
The portable lamp created by Danish artist Olafur Eliasson and engineer Frederik Ottesen lasts two to three years before needing a new battery.
The Little Sun company said it can save households as much as 90 percent over three years compared to what they spend on kerosene.
"Today, seven out of 10 people lack access to even the most basic electricity in Sub-Suharan Africa," said Little Sun managing director and CEO Felix Hallwachs. "Over the next 20 years, Africa is poised to hold the world's largest un-electrified population."
He said breathing kerosene fumes for four hours is equivalent to smoking 40 cigarettes.
The lamp is currently available in Uganda, Kenya, Burundi, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Senegal, South Africa and Zimbabwe.
The Little Sun project was launched in 2012 at the Tate Modern museum in London. Consumers in the U.S. and Europe also can buy Little Sun at some museums and stores.
"With a Little Sun in your hand, you become a power station, charging your lamp in the sun, you also empower yourself," Eliasson said.

Science and art are coming together in an exciting exploration of ecology, environment, quantum physics and nanotechnology. Following a tour of displays from Lucerne, Barcelona and San Francisco, Think Art–Act Science is landing in Salt Lake City at the Leonardo, 209 E. 500 South.
"We contacted them and it perfectly matched the mission of the Leonardo," says Lisa Davis, Leonardo media contact. The mission, she says, is to display collections connecting science, technology and art, which promote divergent thinking.
Visitors are being welcomed to the exhibit beginning May 5, with special spring admission pricing of only $9 for adults.
The out-of-this world collection features international artists who were placed in long-term collaboration with scientific researchers as a project of the "Swiss-artists-in-labs" program.
"This exhibit is really unique," Davis says. "It's a collection of eight different installations in a variety of art mediums."
While exploring the creative works, visitors can attend workshops, shows and panel discussions, which correlate with the project. The pieces displayed vary from Fish Skin, art and science for the ears with mini-speakers and piano strings assembled in waves, to The Rocket for the Rest of Us, a film connecting past inventions to inspiring constructions of today and the future.
"It's an interesting look into the creativity of art and science," says Davis.
The future landing of Think Art–Act Science hasn't been nailed down just yet, but there are talks of it reaching a large museum on the East Coast.

Take ten high-end Intel NUCs, a gigabit Ethernet switch, a couple of terabytes of storage, and cram it all into a fancy custom enclosure. What does that spell? Orange Box.
Not the famous gaming bundle from Valve, though—this Orange Box is a sales demo tool built by Canonical. There are more than a dozen Orange Boxes in the wild right now being used as the hook to get potential Canonical users interested in trying out Metal-as-a-Service (MAAS), Juju, and other Canonical technologies. We got the chance to sit down with Canonical's Dustin Kirkland and Ameet Paranjape for an afternoon and talk about the Orange Box: what it is, what it does, and more importantly, what it is not.
First off, Canonical emphasized to Ars multiple times that it is not getting into the hardware business. If you really want to buy one of these things, you can have Tranquil PC build one for you (for £7,575, or about $12,700), but Canonical won't sell you an Orange Box for your lab—there are too many partner relationships it could jeopardize by wading into the hardware game. But what Canonical does want to do is let you fiddle with an Orange Box. It makes for an amazing demo platform—a cloud-in-a-box that Canonical can use to show off the fancy services and tools it offers.
Inside the custom orange chassis are ten stripped Intel Ivy Bridge D53427RKE NUCs. Each comes with 16GB of RAM and a 120GB SSD, and they're all connected to a gigabit Ethernet switch. One of the NUCs is the control node; its USB and HDMI ports are wired to the Orange Box's rear panel, and that particular node also runs Canonical's MAAS software. Its single unified internal 320W power supply runs on a single 110v outlet—even when all ten nodes are going flat-out, it doesn't require a second power plug.
The initial view of the Metal-as-a-Service (MAAS) console running on the first node. MAAS is an off-the-shelf Canonical tool, but here it's preconfigured to work with the Orange Box's NUCs.

Details on one of the physical nodes. Information displayed here (and in detail below in the "raw discovery data" section) is from a "lshw" run in an ephemeral PXE-booted Linux environment.
Some of the nodes' properties can be edited, including the management protocol used (the NUCs use Intel AMT, though MAAS supports a number of other options).
Nodes can be started, stopped, and deployed singly or in groups.
These are the different boot images that can be deployed to this particular Orange Box's nodes.
For companies that are interested, Canonical is using the Orange Box with what it's calling Jumpstart Training. For $10,000, Canonical will show up at your business with an Orange Box, provide two days of deep-dive training, and will then leave the box with you for two weeks. There are few enough actual Orange Boxes in existence that they weren't able to give one to us to beat on, but Kirkland and Paranjape drove out from Canonical's Austin office to Houston to give me an abbreviated demo and let me test drive the thing.
And here's the first thing you have to realize about the Orange Box: it's cool, but it's not particularly noteworthy. It's a neat concept and it's very useful, but the capabilities that it demonstrates aren't unique to the form factor—Canonical is quick to point out that it's merely a convenient demo and training tool. The default image loaded onto node 0 gives you a MAAS console preconfigured to control the nine other NUC nodes in the Orange Box using Intel AMT, but this isn't a special build of Canonical's MAAS—this is an off-the-shelf application that's being used here to demonstrate an integrated use case.
MAAS can be used to deploy a number of different operating system images to the Orange Box nodes, which happens via PXE. Node 0 also comes with Juju, Canonical's service deployment tool, which we'll get into in a moment. By bringing together Juju and MAAS, Canonical can quickly show off some deeply complex deployments with actual hardware rather than relying on virtual machines or quickly spun-up EC2 demo instances.
Piercing the buzzword bingo
I know that no small number of Ars readers want to hear about the cool hardware and don't care a whole lot about the software. That reaction—"Oh, cool, check this box out!"—is one of the main points of the Orange Box—the hardware is the hook Canonical is hoping to use to get people interested in seeing more (and it definitely worked on us). The hardware is startling and attractive (and orange!), and it's a hell of a lab box, but it lacks essential features that it would need in order to be data center-ready—it only has a single internal power supply, its networking is non-redundant, and there's no inbuilt concept of hardware failover. That's OK, though: it's not supposed to be a production box.
We walked through a bunch of different installations and deployments, but before we dig into that, we need to define a few terms and describe why those terms are a big deal. Those of you with IT experience (and I'm sure that's most of the audience!) can probably skip ahead a teeny bit, but taking time to make sure we're all on the same page will be helpful once we really get going.
The Orange Box more than anything else shows potential Canonical customers how the Canonical way of managing servers and services works. There are two big "wow" moments you're supposed to have while using the thing: the first comes when you see how all of Canonical's tools work—and to the company's credit, the demos we ran through were slick and everything worked well. The second "wow," though, is when you realize that everything you do on the Orange Box demo unit using its built-in nodes can also be done at a much larger scale on real hardware or big virtual machines or on a public or private cloud provider's gear—and, if everything works right, just as easily.
The Orange Box uses two key Canonical technologies: MAAS and Juju. MAAS, as we've described above, stands for Metal-as-a-Service. That name is a play on all the various thing-as-a-service names that cloud providers provide: whenever you see "thing-as-a-service," the "thing" is typically being marketed as a demand-based service or product that runs "in the cloud." Amazon's EC2 service, for example, is an "infrastructure-as-a-service" cloud offering. You can activate as many EC2 virtual computers (infrastructure) as you need for a task, be it one or a hundred, and you pay for what you use.
There's also storage-as-a-service (like Amazon S3, Rackspace, or OpenStack), software-as-a-service (like Salesforce.com), and many other things-as-a-service. The commonality between all of them is that you pay for what you use without worrying about the hardware underneath—it's all in "the cloud."
Of course, "the cloud" is another misunderstood, horribly abused computing term. "The cloud" means different things to different people; it most often simply means "someone else's servers," though a cloud can be "public" or "private"—it all depends on whose servers and where the line of abstraction is drawn. A company might store its data in a "private cloud," which could mean a big OpenStack deployment in its data centers on hardware that it owns; another company might use a public cloud or hybrid approach, keeping some data and apps internal and others running on Amazon EC2 or another provider.
It can be complicated. There's no real magic in "the cloud," nor is it a particularly revolutionary concept, but it's an easy word to say, and it crystallizes a bunch of different concepts in ways that "grid computing" and "time-sharing" failed to do.
Juju charms
There's more, though—beyond MAAS, Canonical has Juju. Juju is a complex tool that can do a whole lot of stuff, but the simplest way to think of it is as "apt-get but for services." Put another way, if you wanted to install a Web server on Ubuntu, you could use apt-get; if you want to deploy an entire Web application stack, you could do it with Juju.
Juju uses "charms," which are scripted recipes that can install one or more packages and also link those packages together. A "MediaWiki" charm, for example, might install the Apache Web server package, then install the MySQL database package, then install the MediaWiki package from a third-party PPA, then configure Apache to properly serve PHP, and finally configure Apache and MySQL for MediaWiki, leaving you with a functional MediaWiki instance. Juju charms can also be linked together in "bundles," enabling you to deploy complex services consisting of many meshed and interacting applications.
The Juju console, also running on node 0. This drag-and-drop tool (which sits atop a much richer set of command line tools) lets you run Juju charms and bundles. Here, we have a MediaWiki charm and a MySQL charm with a relationship automatically established between them via their bundle.

Details on the MediaWiki instance we've just deployed to one of the Orange Box nodes.
And here's MediaWiki, up and running with basically zero effort.
Juju is a cloud deployment tool, too. You could use Juju to deploy applications locally, but the tool is most properly used in conjunction with some kind of cloud layer—for example, you could tell Juju to deploy that MediaWiki charm to Amazon EC2, and after providing your EC2 credentials, you'd have a fully functional MediaWiki server on EC2 a few minutes later. Juju can deploy services to anything it has an API for—and that, of course, includes MAAS.
Servers are cattle, not pets
Which brings us back to the Orange Box and the demo. Kirkland noted that often, IT departments tend to treat servers as special pampered pets—you might buy four servers to function as a Hadoop cluster and then spend time polishing and tuning Hadoop for those four servers. And that's all those servers are good for, too—they were bought to a certain spec, and they're Hadoop servers until you're done with your Hadoop project.
Servers, Kirkland explained, shouldn't be special pets—servers should be cattle. In the Canonical universe, if you have MAAS in your data center, you should be able to deploy a Hadoop Juju charm out to four MAAS servers that fit your desired performance criteria and start work rather than requiring bespoke hardware. Further, you should be able to scale up and down as needed; if your Hadoop workload is low, you can destroy two of the four boxes and retask them to something else by deploying a different charm to them. If your Hadoop workload goes up dramatically, you can reclaim them or even spin up additional ones.
MAAS is aware of a node's capabilities and specs—it uses an ephemeral PXE image to quickly boot and assay nodes before assigning them to the "ready" pool. Once inventoried, you can tag machines in the pool and manage them as groups if you need. For our Orange Box demo, all nine of the non-management nodes were visible and usable (as well as a KVM virtual machine running on node 0).
As with any vendor's picture of how the data center should work, it makes for a compelling story—as long as everything is in the same world running the same management layer. To this end, Canonical has made sure that its MAAS tool can deploy not just Ubuntu images but other Linux and Windows images as well.
With very little effort, Kirkland and Paranjape quickly set up a small Hadoop cluster using Juju charms. Juju on the Orange Box is preconfigured to work with MAAS as its backend, so it passes instructions via MAAS's RESTful API. MAAS actually does initial operating system installations and then executes the specific Juju scripts. We ended up with a four-node Hadoop environment within two minutes—one master node, two worker nodes, and one MySQL database node.
Kirkland kicked off a quick MapReduce job on our new Hadoop cluster, which took about seven minutes to run; after it completed, Kirkland quickly requisitioned the remaining five unused nodes in the Orange Box and transformed them into Hadoop compute nodes simply by dialing up the number of compute nodes in the Juju console. The process required no reconfiguration of any of the existing nodes—or rather, that reconfiguration was done transparently by the Juju charm. When it was done, we re-ran the same MapReduce job and it completed far faster (not at all surprising, since we'd almost tripled the amount of horsepower being thrown at the job).
After nuking our MediaWiki bundle, we built a small Hadoop cluster with another Juju bundle. The bundle also included MySQL and Hive to help tie Hadoop to MySQL.

Here are the details of the Hadoop namenode, including the Juju relations between it and the other active charms.
Our MapReduce run took almost nine minutes with two nodes doing the computing. That's too slow. Let's crank it UP.
Adjusting the number of datanodes from two to six with a keystroke. Juju handles the relationships, reconfiguring Hadoop and MySQL on the fly, without you having to actually do anything.
MapReduce goes faster now!
Here we're dropping a Ganglia charm into the mix. Ganglia is a monitoring tool, like Nagios or Munin. Once installed, you create a relationship between the new charm and the Hadoop cluster, and...
...Ganglia goes to work monitoring the nodes. Juju handles all of the underlying configuration.
I also got to watch Kirkland demonstrate a complex OpenStack deployment via MAAS and Juju to the Orange Box components. This is one of the same demos that was shown off last month at the OpenStack Summit; there were more than a dozen separate Juju charms executed as a bundle to install and configure OpenStack with a whole array of production capabilities. The removal of the admin from the setup process was a bit shocking—I've been through complex enterprise VMware deployments before, and watching OpenStack gamely set itself up before my eyes was amazing. We blasted through what would probably have been a two-day traditional deployment in minutes.
Even crazier, Kirkland informed me that if we wanted to, we could switch Juju's backend away from the preconfigured MAAS setting and use our newly deployed OpenStack cluster as the basis for further Juju deployments. After all, at least in this instance, it's all hardware rather than virtual machines. Cue the "Inception" music.
Here we have an OpenStack bundle. It's not an overly complex OpenStack setup, but it's still made up of a whole lot of charms and complex relationships. This kind of deployment might take days to roll out manually using a runbook; we did it in minutes.

Logged into the OpenStack dashboard, running on the metal.
This is a much larger OpenStack deployment bundle from Jujucharms.com, a Canonical site running the same Juju admin console as the Orange Box. Here you look through bundles and their relationships without actually deploying them to anything.
Another complex Web application stack from Jujucharms.com, this one duplicating the production Web stack of a real customer.
A gateway drug
I only spent a few hours playing with the Orange Box, but it still told a pretty compelling story—life in Canonical cloud land looks pretty sweet. I found myself asking halfway through the demo why I didn't just ditch the four servers in my closet and replace them with four NUCs running MAAS—surely down that path would lie computing nirvana.
Of course, that's exactly the point: the Orange Box is that taste of heroin that the dealer gives away for free to get you on board. And man, is it attractive. However, as Canonical told me about a dozen times, the company is not making them to sell—it's making them to use as revenue driving opportunities and to quickly and effectively demo Canonical's vision of the cloud. And it does make for a hell of an impressive demo environment—the slickly preconfigured MAAS + Juju setup lets Canonical throw down and show off dozens of different services and application configurations in a very short amount of time.
You certainly don't need an Orange Box to start fiddling with MAAS or Juju—in fact, with Juju, you don't really even need hardware at all. You can start deploying charms and bundles to Amazon EC2 or any other big cloud provider that Juju supports—or even make your own. If the demo showed me anything, it's that Canonical is sitting on some attractive technology—and in keeping with the company's roots, it's all open source. Canonical would certainly love to sell you a support agreement—that's how it gets revenue—but you don't need to pay to play.
Still, all that being said, I wish my closet had an Orange Box in it. That thing is hella cool.

Late Rally Sees Yale Outlast Princeton 4-3 in Men's Hockey
PRINCETON, N.Y. (2/23/13) - The Yale men's hockey team scored two goals in the final 10 minutes of the third period to earn a 4-3 win over Princeton on Saturday, Feb. 23 at Hobey Baker Rink.
The loss eliminates Princeton from a first-round bye in the ECAC Tournament. The Tigers can still get home ice in the first round but will need some help as they move to 9-14-4 overall and 7-10-3 in the ECAC.
It was a back-and-forth affair that saw one team answer after the other. A goal by Yale with less than two minutes play didn't leave Princeton enough time to respond, as Yale improves to 10-9-1 in the league and 14-10-3 overall.
Junior Jack Berger put the Tigers on the board scoring in the first six minutes of the game. It was a quick transition goal that had junior Andrew Calof centering to Berger at the defensive blue line. Berger dished off to senior Eric Meland on the right boards and he fired a shot that was saved by netminder Jeff Malcolm but Berger go to the rebound and put it away. Tonight's game marked Malcolm's first game back since he was injured in the Princeton/Yale game on Feb. 1.
Yale would capitalize on a single penalty twice, as they scored on the delay and then on the power play itself. Tommy Fallon banged the puck off the boards near the right corner and the puck ricocheted to center ice where Anthony Day was circling. Day picked up the puck and skate in on net and wristed in a goal at 8:09. Fallen would give Yale it's first lead scoring 36 seconds later on the power play.
Calof tied the game before the first intermission when he virtually went end-to-end on his own after getting the puck from junior Andrew Ammon deep in the defensive end.
A scoreless second period was highlighted by physical play of both teams. Princeton's Kevin Liss received a five-minute major and a game misconduct that led to Yale getting a five-minute power play midway through the period. The Tigers were able to kill it off and then themselves went on the power play after a hooking call on Fallen.
Princeton did capitalize on the next Yale penalty when Meland tallied his second goal of the year. Senior Michael Sdao had the puck at the point and sent it to Calof at the top of the circle. Calof pushed it back to the boards to senior Rob Kleebaum as he and Meland made their way to the slot. Kleebaum fired a shot that rebounded to Meland who buried the second chance.
Less than two minutes later however the Bulldogs answered. Clinton Bourbonais backhanded a pass to a streak Ryan Obuchowski and Obuschowski rifled a shot from inside the right circle over the glove of netminder Mike Condon.
With time winding down it looked as though the game was headed for overtime time until Carson Cooper's first goal of the season with 1:56 left on the clock. Fallon took a shot from the left point that made its way through traffic and Cooper was on the doorstep to shovel it into the right side before Condon could get there.
Condon finished the game with 23 saves and Malcolm stopped 17 for Yale as the Elis outshot the Tigers 28-20.
Princeton was 1 for 4 on the power play and Yale went 1 for 3.
The loss spoiled Senior Day for the Tigers as the team honored Condon, Sdao, Kleebaum, Meland, Will MacDonald and James Kerr during the first intermission.
The Tigers look to turn around a four-game losing skid when they travel to Dartmouth and Harvard in the final weekend of the regular season, March 1 & 2.

My favourite is KDE. Why? I'm not sure
I'm not sure I have a favourite distribution. But, my favourite desktop environment is KDE.
Why? Sorry, I'm not sure, but believe it's the ability to put widgets on the desktop clock, cartoons, weather). It just suits me. I love multiple virtual desktops and the way KDE does it. I love KDE's menu system, desktop configuration options (decorations/etc) and the Dolphin file manager.
Today I mostly used KDE as I did yesterday. My wallpaper is auto-changed every two minutes from a directory of my favourites. Cartoons flip every 24 minutes, even if usually covered by real work.

Huawei CEO: Will keep using Android as long as it's open
He made the said comment in a Weibo post, where-in he also noted that Google's mobile OS has promoted the development of smartphones, which in turn has benefited consumers. Interestingly, he didn't say anything about whether or not Huawei is developing an in-house mobile OS - said to be called Kirin OS. His silence on the matter, though, can be taken as a confirmation of sorts, especially when his comment reflects the possibility of Google restricting the companies' freedom with Android in future.

I thought I would start off 2013 with something I've dreamed of doing for a long time, but never had the courage to reach out and try. I am a 44-year-old mother of three teenage boys. I have survived my youngest son having cancer at the age of two (he is awesome now — thank God), a public divorce (because of my ex-husband's job), followed by his suicide (also very public), and then to top it off a flood in which we lost everything we owned. I am now married to a wonderful man, who is considerably younger than myself and who loves me just the way I am. I am strong, resilient and determined to do whatever I can possibly do to make my boys' lives, my husband's life, and the lives of those around me the best it can possibly be. That said — as almost any mom and wife can attest to — we sit on the back burner. My request is a simple one: I want to have a beautiful picture and story done of the resiliency of women to appear in a magazine that doesn't epitomize women, but honors and embraces their strength and beauty.
My husband's disdain for magazines that give women unrealistic ideologies of how to look and be, coupled with my love for magazines, led me to MORE. I am thrilled to find a magazine I can identify with and not feel bad about myself while reading. I've never seen myself as beautiful, but I've seen myself as O.K. I believe there are millions of women out there who feel the same as me. I don't want to be a cover girl. I just want what is inside to shine, in one lovely, polished picture. My boys always tell me how incredible they think I am for getting them through what life has handed us. I would like them to have a something to keep forever that embraces what they always tell me.
Thanks for indulging me. And thank you for providing MORE for women just like me.

2012 Holiday Gift Guide - Part 2
Submitted by David on
I thought part 2 of the holiday gift guide we would go local. There are lots of great bike related gifts that you can buy locally so I tried to get a little creative with my picks.
It seems like this year has been filled with stories about doping so why not buy something from the online Dopers Suck store. From tshirts to socks to coffee mugs there is lots to choose from. You only have a few more days to get it delivered on time so buy today.
Bicycle sharing is taking off so why not give the gift of a bicycle sharing membership. Both Boulder and Denver have bicycle sharing programs. The Boulder bike sharing is now available year round!
It seem like most people that like to ride their bike enjoy a good beer. Why not give the gift of a Christmas Ale. The ale comes in 16oz 4 packs and can be found at local liquor stores. The beer is only available on a limited basis so nows your chance. If you want to try it first you can head to the Upslope Tap room and give it a try.

Comments about H O SPORTS ACCURATE Pro Grip Performance Ski Gloves:
My old ski gloves finally gave up the ghost and I bought these because the price was so low. Unfortunately, I ended up with more calluses with the gloves than without them. Everybody who tried them had the same problem. I've only used them for wakeboarding, but I don't know if I will ever use them again except to pull weeds.
