Configuring replication
Choose a data partitioner and replica placement strategy.
Cassandra performs replication to store multiple copies of data on multiple nodes for reliability and fault tolerance. To configure replication, you need to choose a data partitioner and replica placement strategy. Data partitioning determines how data is placed across the nodes in the cluster. For information about how this works, see Data distribution and replication. Nodes communicate with each other about replication and other things using the gossip protocol. Be sure to configure gossip, as described in About internode communications (gossip).
Virtual nodes
Virtual nodes simplify many tasks in Cassandra, such as eliminating the need to determine the partition range (calculate and assign tokens), rebalancing the cluster when adding or removing nodes, and replacing dead nodes. For a complete description of virtual nodes and how they work, see About virtual nodes, and the Virtual nodes in Cassandra 1.2 blog.
In the cassandra.yaml, file uncomment num_tokens and leave the initial_token parameter unset. Guidelines for using virtual nodes include:
- Determining the num_tokens value
The initial recommended value for num_tokens is 256. For more guidance, see Setting up virtual nodes.
- Migrating existing clusters
To upgrade existing clusters to virtual nodes, see Enabling virtual nodes on an existing production cluster.
- Using a mixed architecture
Cassandra supports using virtual node-enabled and non-virtual node data centers. For example, a single cluster could have a cassandra only data center with vnodes enabled and a search data center without vnodes.
Disabling virtual nodes
To disable virtual nodes:
- In the cassandra.yaml file, set num_tokens to
num_tokens: 1
- Uncomment the initial_token property and set it to 1 or to the value of a generated token for a multi-node cluster.
Using the single-token-per-node architecture in DSE 3.1 and above
If you don't use virtual nodes, you must make sure that each node is responsible for roughly an equal amount of data. To do this, assign each node an initial-token value and calculate the tokens for each data center as described in Generating tokens located in the Datastax Enterprise 3.0 documentation. You can also use the Murmur3Partitioner and calculate the tokens as described in Cassandra 1.2 Generating tokens.
Partitioner settings
You can use either the Murmur3Partitioner or RandomPartitioner with virtual nodes.
The Murmur3Partitioner (org.apache.cassandra.dht.Murmur3Partitioner) is the default partitioning strategy for new Cassandra clusters (1.2 and above) and the right choice for new clusters in almost all cases. You can only use Murmur3Partitioner for new clusters; you cannot change the partitioner in existing clusters. If you are switching to the 1.2 cassandra.yaml, be sure to change the partitioner setting to match the previous partitioner.
The RandomPartitioner (org.apache.cassandra.dht.RandomPartitioner) was the default partitioner prior to Cassandra 1.2. You can continue to use this partitioner when migrating to virtual nodes.
Snitch settings
A snitch determines which data centers and racks are written to and read from. It informs Cassandra about the network topology so that requests are routed efficiently and allows Cassandra to distribute replicas by grouping machines into data centers and racks. All nodes must have exactly the same snitch configuration.
The following sections describe three commonly-used snitches. All available snitches are described in the Cassandra documentation. The default endpoint_snitch is the DseDelegateSnitch. The default snitch delegated by this snitch is the DseSimpleSnitch (org.apache.cassandra.locator.DseSimpleSnitch). You set the snitch used by the DseDelegateSnitch in the dse.yaml file:
- Packaged installs: /etc/dse/dse.yaml
- Tarball installs: install_location/resources/dse/conf/dse.yaml
Use DseSimpleSnitch only for development in DataStax Enterprise deployments. This snitch logically configures each type of node in separate data centers to segregate the analytics, real-time, and search workloads.
When defining your keyspace, use Analytics, Cassandra, or Search for your data center names.
For a single data center (or single node) cluster, the SimpleSnitch is usually sufficient. However, if you plan to expand your cluster at a later time to multiple racks and data centers, it is easier if you use a rack and data center aware snitch from the start, such as the RackInferringSnitch.
The PropertyFileSnitch allows you to define your data center and rack names to be
whatever you want. Using this snitch requires that you define network details for
each node in the cluster in the
configuration file.
- Packaged installs: /etc/dse/cassandra/cassandra-topology.properties
- Tarball installs: install_location/resources/cassandra/conf/cassandra-topology.properties
Every node in the cluster should be described in this file, and specified exactly the same on every node in the cluster.
For example, suppose you had non-uniform IPs and two physical data centers with two racks in each, and a third logical data center for replicating analytics data, you would specify them as follows:
# Data Center One 220.127.116.11=DC1:RAC1 22.214.171.124=DC1:RAC1 18.104.22.168=DC1:RAC1 188.8.131.52=DC1:RAC2 126.96.36.199=DC1:RAC2 22.214.171.124=DC1:RAC2 # Data Center Two 22.214.171.124=DC2:RAC1 18.104.22.168=DC2:RAC1 184.108.40.206=DC2:RAC1 18.104.22.168=DC2:RAC2 126.96.36.199=DC2:RAC2 184.108.40.206=DC2:RAC2 # Analytics Replication Group 220.127.116.11=DC3:RAC1 22.214.171.124=DC3:RAC1 220.127.116.11=DC3:RAC1 # default for unknown nodes default=DC3:RAC1
Make sure the data center names defined in the /etc/dse/cassandra/cassandra-topology.properties file correlates to what you name your data centers in your keyspace definition.
Choosing keyspace replication options
When you create a keyspace, you must define the replica placement strategy class and the number of replicas you want. DataStax recommends choosing NetworkTopologyStrategy for single and multiple data center clusters. This strategy is as easy to use as the SimpleStrategy and allows for expansion to multiple data centers in the future. It is much easier to configure the most flexible replication strategy up front, than to reconfigure replication after you have already loaded data into your cluster.
NetworkTopologyStrategy takes as options the number of replicas you want per data center. Even for single data center clusters, you can use this replica placement strategy and just define the number of replicas for one data center. For example:
CREATE KEYSPACE test WITH REPLICATION= { 'class' : 'NetworkTopologyStrategy', 'us-east' : 6 };
For a single node cluster, use the default data center name, Cassandra, Solr, or Analytics.
CREATE KEYSPACE test WITH REPLICATION= { 'class' : 'NetworkTopologyStrategy', 'Analytics' : 1 };
To define the number of replicas for a multiple data center cluster:
CREATE KEYSPACE test2 WITH REPLICATION= { 'class' : 'NetworkTopologyStrategy', 'dc1' : 3, 'dc2' : 3 };
When creating the keyspace, what you name your data centers depends on the snitch you have chosen for your cluster. The data center names must correlate to the snitch you are using in order for replicas to be placed in the correct location.
As a general rule, the number of replicas should not exceed the number of nodes in a replication group. However, it is possible to increase the number of replicas, and then add the desired number of nodes afterwards. When the replication factor exceeds the number of nodes, writes will be rejected, but reads will still be served as long as the desired consistency level can be met.
The default consistency level is QUORUM.
Changing replication settings
The default replication of 1 for keyspaces is suitable only for development and testing of a single node. For production environments, it is important to change the replication of keyspaces from 1 to a higher number. To avoid operations problems, changing the replication of these system keyspaces is especially important for:
- HiveMetaStore
- cfs
- cfs_archive
If the node is an Analytics node that uses Hive, increase the HiveMetaStore and cfs keyspace replication factors to 2 or higher to be resilient to single-node failures. If you use cfs_archive, increase it accordingly.
To change the replication keyspaces:
Check the name of the data center of the node:
- Packaged installs: nodetool status
- Tarball installs: install_location/bin/nodetool status
The output tells you the name of the data center for the node, for example, datacenter1.
Change the replication of the cfs and cfs_archive keyspaces from 1 to 3, for
ALTER KEYSPACE cfs WITH REPLICATION= {'class' : 'NetworkTopologyStrategy', 'dc1' : 3};
ALTER KEYSPACE cfs_archive WITH REPLICATION= {'class' : 'NetworkTopologyStrategy', 'dc1' : 3};How high you increase the replication depends on the number of nodes in the cluster, as discussed in the previous section.
- If you use Hive, update the HiveMetaStore keyspace to increase the replication from 1 to 3, for example.
- If the keyspaces you changed contain any data, run nodetool repair to avoid having missing data problems or data unavailable exceptions.

|What is Eve500?
EVE 500 contains Evening Primrose Oil, a light yellow vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the Evening Primrose (Oenothera biennis) plant. Approximately 5000 seeds provide 500 mg of the oil (contents of one capsule of this product). The seeds contain not less than 65% of Polyunsaturated fatty acid as Linolenic Acid, out of a total fatty acid component of 86%. Gamma Linolenic (GLA) comprises majority of the balance.
EVE 500 is an excellent natural source of cis Gamma Linolenic Acid. GLA is the last precursor to a group of hormone like compounds called prostaglandins that control cell growth, cell regeneration, skin condition, menstrual cycle and blood pressure.
EVE 500 supplies the biologically active cis Linoleic Acid for normal metabolism and is an excellent dietary source of GLA.
EVE 500 with its high natural content of GLA is used to treat symptoms of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) or Pre-Menstrual Tension (PMT) such as irritability, headaches, breast tenderness and heaviness. It is also used as a good natural way or treating anxiety many times associated with PMT/ PMS.
EVE 500 is also the choice product particularly for dry and devitalized skin due to the fact that it maintains skin elasticity. EVE 500 presents moisturizing, nourishing and restructuring properties due to its high content in unsaturated fatty acids. It thus has anti-ageing properties.
Evening Primrose Oil contains Gamma Linolenic Acid 10%. Gamma Linolenic Acid is a building block for prostaglandis which regulate the immune system, metabolism, cell growth and prevent pre-menstrual syndrome, best choice for women going through menopause, fibrocystic breast, arthritis, eczema, multiple sclerosis and hypertension.
Presentation:1 blister of 10 softgels and 3 blisters in a carton
Composition:The major active ingredients are:
Linoleic acid 65% to 80%
Gamma Linolenic acid 8% to 14%
Oleic acid 6% to 11%
Palmitic acid 7% to 10%
Stearic acid 2%
Properties:Helps women in pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS) & pre-mensrual tension (PMT) like irritability, headache, breast tenderness, heaviness Relieves cyclic mastalgia and is now very commonly used to treat fibrocystic breast disease.
Regulates production of oestrogen, lowers cholesterol levels, and controls blood pressure.
Prevents eczema, revitalizes dry scaly skin & maintains wrinkle free, healthy, beautiful skin texture & elasticity.
Presents moisturizing, nourishing & restructuring properties and thus Eve has anti-ageing, seboregulating and nail strengthening activities.

We just caught a VERY interesting headline today by our buddies over at Jalopnik. The story title reads "BMW 1 Series M Rounds Nürburgring Slower than Audi TT-RS". Okay Jalop, you have our attention.
Of course BMW hasn't published a lap time for its new M-ified 1er but the guys at Gawker's
We've run photos of this particular signal green TT RS in the past. Owned by UK tuning firm TTS Roadsport, the car features ECU upgrade and exhaust. That's a conservative list of mods but worth noting when you pair it with the fact that they managed 3.55 seconds 0-60 mph and a 12.09 quarter mile at this year's GTI International.
The below video, circulating around TT discussion forums for a while
As part of our ongoing series on special build cars by Audi Exclusive, this particular Audi TT RS popped onto our radar when it was featured on TT-Forum.co.uk. Malibu Blue is the reported name of this light blue metallic. Admittedly we've had a light blue Audi of our own, namely a Jet Blue S5 that we parted company with earlier this year but we're not sure yet about this one. Of course the TT RS looks amazing
It's that time of year again and Fourtitude is headed to Waterfest. Around this time of July the Volkswagen and Audi community heads to Englishtown, NJ to celebrate and those of us at VWvortex and Fourtitude are no different. To be sure, we've got a few of our own cool cars to show and we also have some other fun stuff to share as a way of saying thank you.
Why thank you? As you may know, it's been a

Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy in 2008, thus ending its 158-year history as one of Wall Street's most successful investment houses after CEO Richard Fuld and a handful of his executive minions made what observers call risky, even reckless investments.
Richard Nixon's undoing was the series of events referred to as "Watergate," which started with the attempted break-in and bugging of Democratic Committee offices at Washington's Watergate Hotel by operatives connected to Nixon's reelection campaign and ultimately to the President himself. Many have speculated that the break-in was a misguided attempt to gain advantage in the election—needlessly. Nixon won the election in a landslide victory, capturing more than 60% of the popular vote, the kind of commanding lead enjoyed by only three presidents before him. He left office less than two years into his second term.This brings me to Ranbaxy. India's largest pharmaceutical company, and one of the top 10 generic drug manufacturers in the world, has been called out with alarming frequency for deviations from good manufacturing practices (GMPs). According to a Feb. 26, 2009, Washington Post article by Lyndsey Layton, Ranbaxy's troubles first came to light in 2006, when US Food and Drug Administration investigators at the company's plant in Paonta Sahib, India, turned up "reams of laboratory tests that were inaccurate or missing information." Ranbaxy made headlines again in September 2008 after receiving warning letters from FDA citing GMP deviations. Falsified laboratory reports landed the company a spot in the news again in February 2009; and once more in May 2009, when certain lots of Nitrofurantoin capsules were determined not to be "in conformity with the approved laboratory specifications," according to a company statement quoted in a May 2 Reuters report. And on July 20, Erik Greb reported in PharmTech's blog that 1303 cartons of isotretinoin had to be pulled after FDA found the "product's dissolution-test results were out of specification."
So my question is, Why would an individual, or an organization, short-circuit its own success?
A 1988 study in the Journal of Business and Psychology entitled "Explanations of Success and Derailment in Upper-Level Management Positions" lists the following qualities of the successful executive:
With these four traits as a guide, let's see whether Ranbaxy has what it takes to remain on course. Is Ranbaxy able to deal with the increasing complexity of a larger more successful organization? Or is it possible that Ranbaxy's continued growth creates a level of corporate complexity that its executives and quality officers are unprepared to handle? And as a corollary, maybe it's also possible that the company is ill-equipped to adapt to the demands of the various international regulatory agencies—"bosses" of a sort—with which it has to deal to sell its products across borders.
How about integrity? Well, without being inside the company, it's impossible for me to assess that or the company's ability to keep cool in a crisis. But from this vantage point, it's difficult to feel that a company that has repeatedly falsified data, laboratory analytical tests, and reports is operating within a culture of integrity. The increasing frequency of these incidents suggests that someone is losing his cool.
Here's another possibility: Ranbaxy, like Spitzer, Lehman's, and Nixon, has succumbed to the belief that its success indemnifies it from censure. If so, repeated warnings and product seizures should disabuse the company of that belief. Or, perhaps these incidents can be chalked up to some garden variety shortcuts in quality control meant to boost profits. After all, conducting careful quality control is expensive, as is discarding out-of-spec product.
And finally, do Ranbaxy's motives really matter? All of these stories could have had very different endings. Ranbaxy still has time to rewrite theirs. Let's hope they do.

Facebook at Work Speaks to Voice Talent
You know the drill about Facebook at the office: Don't do it.
Many companies have a no-Facebook rule for their employees, hoping to prevent them from endlessly sifting through their timelines, watching countless cat videos, and playing Candy Crush like there's no tomorrow.
That old assumption may need a re-think as reports that Facebook is working on a business-specific offering, called Facebook at Work, have emerged. While the company isn't commenting directly, reports suggest it could combine the professional appeal of LinkedIn with the social media virality of Facebook's existing services.
Read on for more details on how this could make online life for voice professionals that much easier.
Should you Ello?
Ello is the hottest thing to hit social media since Facebook first made it a reality for most of us. It's so popular that mere mortals can't even get in: They have to wait for an invitation.
But amid all the hype, there's a sobering reality: Just because it's getting a lot of buzz doesn't necessarily mean it's meant for you.
In this first of an occasional series examining how voice over talent can best use social media platforms and tools to grow their business, we'll discuss why Ello stands out, and why it's a long way away from threatening established services like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
If you're still on the fence over Ello, read on for some timely advice.
How Are Voice Talent Using Twitter?
By Stephanie Ciccarelli
Many people use Twitter to get up-to-the-minute news and information as well as keep in touch with individuals, whether friends or celebrities, in a fast, succinct and exciting way.
From my experience, Twitter has been an exciting tool to use professionally for business, and quite quickly is becoming one of my favourites. It's delightful to see a stream of activity that can, if used effectively, result in both the "warm and fuzzy" as well as solid opportunities for collaboration, social introductions and even earning someone's business.
Join me in today's VOX Daily as we take a look at 7 Twitter interactions you could call your own and how you can use this particular network to your advantage.
Do You Have A Facebook Page For Your Business?
Most businesses have a page that enables them to interact with customers and fans on Facebook.
Do you have one?
I'd love to hear from you!
If you don't have one yet, a video in this article will show you how to create your own business Facebook page.
Be sure to watch one of our past webinars with Andrew Schiestel of tbk Creative (pictured at left) and join the party on today's VOX Daily!

4 Reasons Why Social Networking is So Important!
By Stephanie Ciccarelli
Ever stopped to think about why social networking is important?
Wonder how social networking can help you?
In today's VOX Daily, Dave DeAndrea gives you four amazing reasons as to why participating in the online world via sites such as Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook will make you more visible, engaging, and relevant in the voice over industry.
What, You're Not On Facebook?
Our world has become smaller, more interconnected, and our relationships more accessible.
Being a member on sites such as Facebook.com is now so common that almost everyone you know in your circle of friends and through business has a profile there.
But what about people who aren't on Facebook?
Do they need to be there?
Are they missing out?
Can Social Networking Get You Voice Over Jobs?
By Stephanie Ciccarelli
Have you been taking advantage of all some free social networking tools to promote your business and make new connections with prospective customers?
In his debut podcast on Voice Over Experts, Terry Daniel shares insight particular to Twitter and Facebook, detailing how you can generate untold revenue through some good old fashioned networking.
Having gained 15 clients through his social networking efforts this year alone, and as he says, 15 customers he wouldn't have had otherwise, I can assure you that Terry's advice is more than worth listening to, indeed so much that I've decided to share his podcast episode with you in today's VOX Daily.
New Facebook Design
By Stephanie Ciccarelli
Do you have a Facebook account?
Facebook makes it easy to stay connected and share information with friends. You can started a conversation with Facebook Chat, check your friends' latest photos and status updates, look up a phone number, or upload your own mobile photos to Facebook on the go.
The new Facebook design is about highlighting new content relevant to the user and fostering conversations about that content. Today, we'll do a crash course on what's new, and what's changed to help you get the most of Facebook, with a special spin for voice actors.
Are you Twittering? Twitter This!
Twitter is a sensational fixation that social networking types have embraced as an alternative way to keep people up on what they're doing.
If you are used to updating your status on Facebook or MySpace, you can think of Twitter as a glorified version of who's doing what, when they're doing it, and how often.
That's great, but why does it matter?

We're considering getting fly vaccinations, but one major concern for us is our daughter, who seems to have an egg intolerance. Unless the egg is growth organically, she gets sick if she eats the egg. She isn't as bothered, if the egg is grown organically, although she still has a reaction, just not as severe. We're wondering because it's our understanding that vaccines are incubated using some sort of egg culture.
Current manufacturing processes for flu vaccines include growing influenza virus in chicken eggs. For this reason, the finished vaccine contains a trace amount of egg protein. This trace amount of egg protein could cause a reaction in certain susceptible people. However, several recent studies have documented safe receipt of TIV (flu shot) in people with egg allergy, particularly those with a history of less severe reactions to egg. The current recommendation is that people with mild reactions to egg — specifically, those who have only experienced hives — can get flu vaccine, but they should get it with some additional safety measures, including observing the person for 30 minutes after vaccination. These people should receive TIV rather than the nasal spray vaccine. Also, people who have severe reactions to egg should be referred to a health care professional with expertise in the management of allergic conditions for further risk assessment before being vaccinated.
Detailed recommendations for vaccination of persons with egg allergy can be found at: http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm6132a3.htm?s_cid=mm6132a3

I'll admit to some curiosity here as to what's slowing
down Windows programs within the Windows OS, and how to
determine it. The best I can do is a variant of QEMU or
VmWare that can simulate physical hardware and monitor
such things as disk accesses while doing so. There's also
the question of "bit rot", which in my opinion is caused
by that stupid stinking auto-extension paging file. Lock
down the size of that paging file, and the performance
shouldn't vary nearly as much over the course of a few
years, as long as the machine is kept reasonably clean
of malware.
Of course there's still the registry. ;-) Plus, one has
issues such as display drivers and DirectX/OpenGL to worry
about -- and neither QEMU nor VmWare can handle those very
well yet.

Alumni Admissions Interview Program
We launched the Alumni Admissions Interview Program eight years ago in an attempt to further personalize the admissions process at Georgetown Law (where we receive more applications than any other law school), gain valuable input from alumni on our applicants, and, ultimately, bring the best possible students to the Law Center. In the first year of the program, we recruited 215 alumni to interview 435 applicants. In the last few years, the program has averaged over 750 alumni volunteers conducting 1,000 interviews annually. During the 2014-2015 admissions cycle, applicants were interviewed in 35 states, the District of Columbia, and 13 foreign countries. The information gathered through each alumni interview has been incredibly helpful to the Office of Admissions' assessment of thousands of terrifically talented applicants.

We always need new alumni interview volunteers - particularly in certain areas:

5. Seriously Thrifty? Some Wild Ways to Save (Part 1): Personal thrifty comments paired with some wild options Silicone Valley Blogger has seen. Nothing new, just a personal take on it.
6. This $9 gadget Might Save You from Cable Bills Money, Matter, and More Musings shows how money saving tips can be shared through a personal connection.
7. Saving Money While Traveling for Business: makingourway finds a local grocery instead of maxing out of pre diem on hotel food.
8. Haircuts at Home: Stop the Ride tells how do-it-yourself haircuts is a frugal choice for their family.

For those with poor circulation, Mohair socks are often a life saver. Their lightness and smoothness gently cosset and care for 'under the weather' feet.
Mohair is sheared from the Angora goat in long glamorous, ringlets twice a year. It is silky and lustrous and especially receptive to dye. Which makes it ideal for Mohair socks. Even after machine washing, socks retain their colour and shape from season to season.
Let me tell you about a farmer I know. Stephen Weighell lives on a moorland farm in North Yorkshire and, having heard about my amazing Mohair socks, decided to buy a pair 'to try out'. Two years later he was back to say he had worn my socks everyday but they were now getting a bit thin so he'd decided to invest in a new pair. He wasn't going to be throwing out the old ones though. He loved them so much he was keeping them for summer. Now that's what I call heroic.

Hello Kitty I love you!!!
The billion-dollar juggernaut that is Hello Kitty. Tokyo-based journalists Ken Belson and Brian Bremner have published a history of Japanese character-licensing company Sanrio and their most famous character, Hello Kitty. As Japanese "kawaii" (cute) culture continues to invade the world, this looks to be a great guide to the history and impact of Kitty-chan and her minions.

Momo's parts.
Momo's parts. All about the different parts of one Japanese man's pet hamster plus illustrations. "I have read that hamster's whiskers shows the width that they can pass through. But Momo forgets. One day Momo tried to go into the cleaner hose. As he has the big hip, he could't go into it. And in his effect to go, he could't get his head out. When I ran to him in a hurry, his head gone out of the hose, and he rolled backward."

A Wizard of Earthsea
by Ursula K. Le Guin
Man and the Natural World Quotes in A Wizard of Earthsea
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
She knew nothing of the Balance and the Pattern which the true wizard knows and serves, and which keep him from using his spells unless real need demands. (1.19)
Trust us on this: later books will take a kinder view of women and their magic. But this quote shows a clear distinction between the minor wizards and witches who use magic carelessly and those school-taught wizards who understand that magic comes with a cost. If Ged starts out being a little too quick to use magic, we might blame it on the fact that no one has taught him about the Balance yet.
Quote #2
But Ogion let the rain fall where it would. (2.16)
Ged doesn't understand about the Balance until Ogion starts teaching and demonstrating the Balance. Letting the rain fall on him may be a minor example, but it seems pretty powerful to us. After all, if you had the power to keep rain off yourself, wouldn't you want to use it?
Quote #3
"But you must not change one thing, one pebble, one grain of sand, until you know what good and evil will follow on that act. The world is in balance, in Equilibrium. A wizard's power of Changing and of Summoning can shake the balance of the world." (3.57)
This is the Master Hand telling Ged that it's easy (and fine) to make illusions, but hard (and dangerous) to actually change things. Now, Le Guin (or her editor) seems a little inconsistent with capitalizations – notice that sometimes it's "the Balance" and sometimes it's "the balance." (And sometimes it's "Equilibrium.") But this is one of the central issues about power and duty – that the wizards can't just go about doing whatever they want, but have to worry about the Balance too.

After a trial started Monday in Kemper County, the defendant decided to plead guilty.
James Santonio McGrew was originally accused of capital murder and armed robbery in the 2010 death of Demetrius Smoot in DeKalb. Smoot was stabbed numerous times.
McGrew pleaded guilty to two lesser charges, manslaughter and grand larceny. He got 20 years for manslaughter and five for grand larceny, for a total of 25 years in prison.
Because McGrew is an habitual offender, he must serve the entire 25 years, without possibility of early release.

I spoke with Randy Union yesterday. His direct phone number is (800) 653-8908, ext. 107. I had submitted an application online for health insurance quotes, and Randy was quick to call me on my cell phone. He offered me a plan for $179.00 per month, and when I told him that that was more than I could afford, Randy lowered the price to $99.99 immediately. He then proceeded to explain the plan, using a lot of up-to's in his million-mile-per-hour sales pitch (will cover up to 60%, etc.). Mr. Union told me that he would mail me the paperwork and that if anything should happen to me between now and then, I would be covered, since the plan would be effective immediately. He then immediately asked me to pull out a debit or credit card and tell him whether it started in a zero or a four. I told him I was not ready to make a final decision, as I was a little suspicious and wanted to do a bit of research online. He assured me that the website I submitted my application through was a reputable site, and that they would never in a million years jeopardize their reputation by selling their leads to dishonest companies. Immediately he asked for my credit card number again. Once more, I told him I was not ready. He then told me that he just needed to get me in the system (or something like that) so that I could be sent an email explaining the plan, and then he asked what my checking account number began with! I told him that if he asked again, he would loose my interest completely. He got very stern with me and snapped back irritably, Now Bryan, I have three hundred applications on my desk right now. I cannot help you if you are going to be resilient with me. I politely thanked him and hung up the phone.
I feel that Randy misrepresented the plan he was offering as a health insurance plan, when it is not. It is clearly stated on the company's website that it is not health insurance. I do think that people affiliated with Randy and his Protective Life plan which he is trying to sell should be aware, as it will certainly jeopardize their reputations and credibility. Randy knew that if I hung up the phone and did my research, I would easily discover that the plan was not health insurance, and would not buy from him. I found his salesmanship very dishonest.

Post subject: First time
Hey everyone. I'm 16 years old and just recently found out I'm pregnant. I haven't went to the doctor or anything yet, and haven't told my mom. I'm kind of nervous about what's going to go on. My boyfriend and his grandma are really excited, but I'm scared on hat my motheer will say. Any help would really be appreciated. I'm very excited about having this baby, but I don't really know what to expect...

I agree - get it checked first by a doctor and then see how you feel about it before you tell anyone. Its very easy to get persuaded into something you don't want just for an easy life, but as you will have to deal with your decision for the rest of your life you want to be sure

i got pregnant at 17 but i was living with the babys father and it took me 10 hours to tell my dad,and he was a little dissapointed but ok with it. if you and your mum are close it should be ok. it's good you have support from the babys father and the grandma. good luck and all the best

If you are worried about what your mother is going to say I would go tot he doctor and have a blood test done there. They are usually more acurate than the dip tests are. Then after you are sure I would sit her down and tell her. It is going to show eventually and waiting might not be the best idea. If you and your mother are close she maybe a little upset that you did not get the chance to grow up a little more and get married before you started a family, but she will still love you and want to be there for you through the experiance.
I hope that this helps you out a little. And think of it this way the father is happy and so is his grandmother so there is already a support system from them there. You are loved and so is your baby, do not be so afraid of your parents they may seem like monsters but they really do love you. I was so worried about telling my mother because I am not married and what will the rest of my family say? So far they have been nothng but well that was not the brightest idea in the world but we aer here for you. So it has all been all right for the most part. Things will work out in the end they always seem to.
Hope this helped you out.

Iam 21 years old and now 4 months pregnant, when i found out i was so scared of telling my parents but i knew the longer i put it off the harder it would be.
I suggest you go to ur doctors to get it comfirmed the go straight home and tell ur parents, it may help if ur partner goes with you to show his support.
Goodluck! x

Why aren't Major SoCal Cultural Institutions Hiring Longtime SoCal Leaders to fill their Top Slots?
Colin Mitchell | Feb 09, 2013 | Comments 0 |
This was the question first posed on the BigCheap Yahoo Group (join if you haven't already there are some 2500 people on the list!) by LASA Operations & Programming Director Doug Clayton. And apparently it was a good one, because the responses have been varied, heated and most importantly, poignant.
Actually Ezra Buzzington started things off under the great topic title "Why Chickens drown…" when he was ranting over La Jolla Playhouse Artistic Director Christopher Ashley's boneheaded comments which you can read about here. But Doug then expanded into this topic and here are some of the reactions off the Bigcheap line:
I completely agree with you: long-vested SoCal artists and arts leaders are not only valid, but make more sense because they know the lay of the land and the ticket buyer. In Santa Barbara they went to New York to find their first E.D. at The Granada, because they are basically snobs and felt it would make them look more "theatah". And they were raising $60 million from other snobs. It worked, but he had no idea how to RUN a theatre, and now he is gone. Here in Thousand Oaks we just hired a SoCal guy to run our Cultural Affairs Department (and theatres) but he is not really an artistic guy, he is a business guy. But at least we hired local.
- Stephanie Wilson, Artistic Director, Gold Coast Theatre Conservatory
It's always about money. As long as the funders continue to believe (or are convinced by so-called "artistic leaders") that east coast talent trumps their own provinicial pool, nothing about the current dysfunctional paradigm will be altered. This is not to be read as defeatist, just realistic. When local money demands local talent, the game will change. Not until. They should be the target. But, my current issue stems from giving ill-informed ass clowns a national voice.
- Ezra Buzzington
Unfortunately, this has been a problem with all types of cultural institutions in Los Angeles, and the very sad longstanding tradition includes the lack of respect afforded visual artists before (and even after) the Southern California visual art explosion of the 60′s and 70′s. Steven Leigh Morris wisely noted that Los Angeles is a great place to develop work because of the immense talent pool here and the ability to work and live affordably, but it's better to premiere "out of town". True that.
Mark Seldis, Producing Director, Ghost Road Company
Doesn't if have to begin with an appreciation of how extraordinary our local artists are – When is the Mark Taper going to stop importing most of their talent directors, designers and actors – or even the Geffin for that matter? Locally mounted productions of new plays would be more vibrant and more exciting and probably better than the continuing process of importing whole productions. It's the first acknowledgement and gesture of trust in perhaps a long path of growth but if we would look to our own we could energize this community as it has not been energized in many years – and begin a journey to international recognition. This is how the large organizations can invest in this community in a significant way. Presently it is only tokenism.
- John Flynn, Artistic Director, Rogue Machine Theatre
This is a heart-pulpitating topic and I am glad that BigCheapTheatre* group's point of existence is being re-energized, that point for me was always of a community dialogue to challenge the status quo or to define new approaches to staging theatre. I propose that we discuss, brainstorm, plan and action out steps for transformation of this petty reality. Yes, as SLM said, and Mark Seldis reminded us, and Ezra drove this point home – we have resources & talent in LA. AND, we are the tax payers of this state and city, meaning we are the primary stakeholders (the way arts and culture is currently funded, we are not exactly the high-paying citizens, but still, there are many of us, thus we contribute plenty en masse!). Perhaps a BCT working group can be formed to figure out a strategic plan to change the current state of theatre when it comes to local artists and local leaders? Here is an interesting reference from Charles McNulty, a controversial figure (we can have a whole other discussion about a role of a critic in shaping a local theatre scene): "…DeLorenzo's staging, among its many pleasures, spectacularly showcased the depth and versatility of L.A.'s pool of auteur-friendly stage actors." I could not agree more, when it comes to traits of stage actors in LA, it is clear from my own directorial experience that they do have unbelievable depth and versatility, they are the most open and eager to engage in all types of directorial practices (from auteur to full-on collaborative), but they have no way to earn a living wage doing that. Right? We need a reform!
Olya Petrakova, Artist Director, ARTEL
So what do you think, LemonHeads? It is a lack of a trust, a certain snobbery, good common sense, or just plain stupidity?
Love to hear more of your thoughts on the subject.

Music/Lyrics: Anastasio, Marshall
Vocals: Trey
Original Artist: Trey Anastasio
Original Album: Traveler (2012)
Albums: Traveler
Debut: 2013-07-17
Historian: Phillip Zerbo (pzerbo)
Last Update: 2013-11-12
The delightful and lilting ballad "Frost" debuted with TAB on 10/6/11 at the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium in Asheville, NC. At that gig Trey noted that the song was co-written with Tom Marshall just before that tour kicked off; it was written at the same writing session at Manhattan's Jungle City Studio that produced "Winterqueen," the only TAB song that made the cut for Phish's 2013 Halloween performance of Wingsuit.
TAB, "Frost" – 10/18/12, Detroit, MI
Lyrically "Frost" draws from the metaphorical well that has served Anastasio/Marshall compositions for decades – wind, water, frayed communication, all in a chilly motif. The studio version that appears on Trey's 2012 release, Traveler, features a haunting organ part from Ray Paczkowski. Trey noted in an interview with Sirius JamOn that the organ part was recorded in a big empty room and sounds like "outer space music."
"Frost" stuck to the TAB repertoire – appearing in most TAB shows from its debut through the 2013 spring tour promoting Traveler – where the haunting, dreamlike fairy tale qualities of the song are enhanced by the vocals of Natalie Cressman and Jennifer Hartswick. "Frost" was soundchecked three times on Phish's 2013 summer tour, before finally breaking through on 7/17/13 in Alpharetta, GA, for what remains to date its only appearance on the Phish stage.
The fate of "Frost" as a Phish tune may be uncertain, but it is likely to remain a fixture with TAB, as well as Trey's orchestral projects. "Frost" was scored for full orchestra by long-time collaborator Don Hart, making its orchestral debut at Anastasio's performance with the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center on 5/22/13. The only song from Traveler to make the jump to orchestra (and the only new song introduced at Trey's only orchestral performance of 2013), the stunningly gorgeous orchestration combined with a pristine vocal offering from Trey was a highlight of this magnificent show.

Review: Nokia 5230 Nuron for T-Mobile
As we mentioned earlier in the week, SlashPhone received a Nokia 5230 Nuron for review. After giving it ample play time, we've come to a stable conclusion about the handset, and we can safely say that while the device has its limitations, we're sure that it will make someone out there happy. But, let's get right into it, so we can figure out if that person is you or not. Will the Nuron live up to Nokia's hype? Or does it fall flat on its face?
The Basics
The moment you take the Nuron out of the box, you'll know it's in your hand. It's not necessarily all that heavy, so to speak, but considering the plastic build of the device, we would have been happier with a little bit of a lighter feel. Though, considering how thick the handset is, we can understand where the weight comes from. The 3.2-inch screen seems smaller than the specifications would suggest, and we imagine that comes from the large areas at the top and bottom, which have been reserved for the earpiece and sensors at the top, and the three hardware buttons on the bottom. Even the silver bezel seems thick on the sides, only aiding in the illusion that the screen is smaller than it really is.
As for the hardware keys, there's quite a few on the Nuron. You've got the three main keys on the front of the device: Send, End, and the button that calls up the main menu. Just above the screen, you have the Media Button, which, when pressed, drops down a menu that gives you quick access to media components like music, the browser, and images. Along the right side of the device is the physical camera key, the notorious Nokia "slide-to-unlock" key, and finally the volume rocker. It should also be noted that the volume rocker also works as a zoom-in-and-out function, but we could only find that it works while using the camera. It doesn't zoom in while using the browser, for example.
At the top of the device, there's the MicroUSB port, the 3.5mm audio jack, and an old-school Nokia power port. Which, if we're being completely honest, we didn't even think were being used anymore. Nokia slipped a surprise in here for us, it seems. And finally, on the left hand side of the Nuron, there's two ports protected by removable flaps. The upper-most opening is for the SIM card, and the one below that is for the MicroSD card. We found that opening both of those flaps was a bit of a pain, and more work than was probably necessary. But, we also know that people aren't going to be opening and closing those very often, so that's probably a non-issue.
For the general look and feel of the device, we can't really dock Nokia any points. The device looks like a Nokia device, and there's definitely nothing wrong with that. It's shiny, which should attract several new customers, and it's thick enough that it may not worry many people who are notorious for dropping their phones. All in all, even if it is too thick and heavy for us, we don't think that's necessarily a bad thing for most customers out there. It does feel good in the pocket.
The Operating System
Symbian S60 5th Edition powers this little guy, and from the moment you turn it on, that's more than obvious. Truth be told, it's not going to be for everyone. Even from the pure aesthetic approach, the look alone suggests something for a kid. In this day and age of icons, widgets, and the like, the Nuron shows us that there's still people out there that believe a more "personal approach," if you will, is better than sleek and sophisticated. We're not sure where we stand on this. As it stands, though, you don't really get to appreciate the Operating System on the 5230, mainly because you're stuck waiting more often than not.
We noticed pretty quickly that the device runs relatively slowly a lot of the time. We also noticed that this would be completely off-set by the device's bursts of quickness, too. There's no middle ground here. We would be waiting several seconds for the main menu to pull up from the home screen, and then later in the day find that the menu was up even before we let go of the button. We can't quite put our finger on why the system is so off-and-on, but when it's off, the device is almost painful to use. When it's quick and reactive, we actually had fun watching the screen animations take us from one to another.
Resistive Touchscreen
The title should probably be more than enough, but we'll go ahead and expand on this. We're not saying that resistive touchscreens are terrible, but the Nuron's is definitely a petition in that regard. We may just be accustomed to capacitive panels, but going through menus, or even selecting options (when coupled with the lag generated by the slow processor), is aggravating. We do like, though, that while you're selecting items in the menu, that you have to actually select something twice. So, even though you're probably not accidentally activating anything on a resistive touchscreen, Nokia has made sure that you are absolutely sure of what you want before it activates.
Phone calls, Internet, texts, and no WiFi
We thought that not having WiFi wouldn't be that big of a deal, but it really is. Utilizing T-Mobile's 3G network is great, but the browser on the Nuron isn't. In fact, we really didn't want to use it anymore after the first day. We're not sure if jumping onto a WiFi hotspot would have made it any better, truth be told, but at least it would have been nice to try. Navigating webpages wasn't hindered by the 3.2-inch screen. No, in this case, the processor just wouldn't allow web surfing to be anything other than torment, as pages juttered, lagged, and completely stalled on every occasion.
Making phone calls wasn't that bad at all, actually. The sound quality is nice, and we never dropped a call. When we ran through some noise tests, people on the other end did tell us that it was a bit hard to hear us, but that's not surprising considering the device doesn't do anything to minimize that kind of interference. The coverage in our area is pretty well established, and we made note of the Nuron's ability to stick with the highest available signal, making all our voice calls pristine.
Text messages are a big part of cellphone usage. It's no different for us, and that's why we gave texting a real shot on the Nuron. However, we just had to stop doing it. The keyboard, while in portrait mode, is usable, but there's no full QWERTY. It's just the standard option for phones, with the number pad. You have the option to use T9 while you tap along, so that helps a bit, but the screen is just not forgiving. If you use your fingernail, you can probably get some speed out of it. And then there's the landscape QWERTY keyboard. We don't have the world's skinniest fingers, but we don't think even that would help the typing experience on this device. It's just not fun, to put it plainly. The phone's features work in conjunction to make it an experience we don't recommend to anyone, so maybe you should stick to the voice calls.
In the initial post, we said that this phone isn't meant to blow your mind. We also said that this is probably the perfect device for someone who doesn't want to spend a lot of money. Well, both those things are still true, but we should also note that the $69.99 that T-Mobile is selling the device for on a new, two-year contract is simply too much money. This needed to be a free phone. Especially with the lack of WiFi. There's no way around it. And, to be be perfectly honest with you, we can't recommend spending the $70. There's other options, for just a bit more money, that will make you a lot happier than this device will.
If you have any specific questions regarding the Nokia 5230 Nuron, please let us know in the comments. We will be sure to answer them to the best of our ability.

PARKERSBURG - More than a dozen children attended the Lions Club's third annual Easter Egg Hunt for Visually Impaired Children on Sunday afternoon.
The hunt began at 2 p.m. with participants ranging from nearsighted to completely blind, said Kevin Clem, a Lions Club member since 2007.
To prevent children with better sight from having an upper-hand in the search, those children who weren't severely visually impaired were blindfolded, Clem said.

Each child was permitted to take a single assistant onto the field with them to prevent them from getting injured during the search, Clem said.
Volunteers from the Lions Club assisted in the Easter Egg hunt by posing as the egg hiding locations. The volunteers stood in a circle with one large, egg-shaped beeping device and a basket full of traditional, candy-filled eggs, Clem said.
Each volunteer was assigned a number 1, 2 or 3. As the game progressed, Clem announced a change in beepers and held up his hand to signal which number group should turn their beeping egg on next.
Children made their way from station to station using only their ears with their assistants preventing the children from walking into each other.
Gabriel Stull, 11, participated with his sister, Alora Stull, 12, as his guide. Gabriel Stull's vision is limited to seeing shadows and lights, said his grandmother, Kathy Taylor.
Gabriel Stull lives as normal of a life as he can, Taylor said. He participates in Boy Scouts, Native American dance troops, plays piano and trumpet and enjoys riding his bike and playing baseball, she said.
"He is just too stubborn to allow himself to be held back by the inability to see," Taylor said.
Gabriel Stull said his sister Alora helps him play baseball and perform in his dance group, he said.
"This is almost the most fun I've had in my life," Gabriel Stull said.
The Parkersburg Lions Club got the idea for the Easter Egg hunt from the Clarksburg club, Clem said. The celebration gets bigger every year, he said.
The opportunity the Lions Club gives the children is rarely received elsewhere, Clem said.
"Many rarely consider the kids who don't have the opportunity to participate in regular hunts," Clem said. "The blindfolds even give those kids who can see the opportunity to learn what it would be like to be differently-sighted," he said.
Emily Emrick, 16, describes herself as completely blind. This was her second year participating in the hunt for visually impaired children.
"I had lots of fun, and found many of the eggs," Emrick said. "For a time, I was even away from my mom. Now that was scary."
The hunt lasted 30 minutes before all of the eggs were claimed from the baskets, Clem said. Prizes filled with candy were given to those who assisted the children to reward them for their efforts in making a fun, safe environment for the Easter Egg hunt, Clem said.
