Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
At the beginning, the ACL did not have a physical shelter to house animals. Instead, supporters cared for animals in their homes until a permanent home could be found. This personal touch was very nice, however, it greatly limited the number of animals that could be helped and made the adoption process very slow. In the late 1970's, the Animal Care League rented its first shelter, relocating to a new building a few years later. For many years the shelter worked out of this small facility, but in 1998 we moved again to our current location. We have the capacity to house up to thirty-three dogs, more than 120 cats and many other little critters such as birds, rabbits, mice, snakes and even chickens.
From the very beginning, the ACL has had a policy of keeping adoptable animals until we could find them a home and this is still in practice today. This means that no matter how long it takes, we keep an adoptable animal with us until we find that right loving home. Even though the number of animals coming through our doors for help each year has increased by 100 percent in the last several years alone, we firmly believe in this policy and will continue to give every animal the best opportunity possible to find a new home. We have accomplished this by taking proactive approaches to animal care and adoption as well as preventative measures to help reduce the number of homeless animals in our communities.
The Animal Care League works very hard to keep our animals healthy, reduce the number and severity of behavior problems and to act proactively in finding new homes for our pets.
Meet some of our adoptable pets at Petco, River Forest (Lake Street and Harlem Ave), every Sunday 11am-3pm!
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

Arvid Frandsen, a member of the Sweden Democratic Party is among the leading opponents of immigrants to the nation. He has spoken vigorously against teaching foreign languages in his wonderful school system because Swedes should only be speaking their language, not the babble that comes from those born in Muslim nations. However, it turns out that Mr. Frandsen was born in southern Juylland where people speak a local dialect that is difficult to understand. When he speaks with fellow members of this party, few in the room can understand his command of the Swedish language, and a common sight is to see men and women head for the toilet when he rises to declaim about foreigners who can't even speak the Swedish language and want special attention in schools. Only Swedish should be spoken is schools is his policy demand.
The head of his party has informed the opponent of immigrants that he must take classes in the Swedish language because no one in his own party has the slightest idea what he is saying.
How about a requirement for a course in logic that all members of the Republican party should be required to take?
Instead of reading the Constitution, why not make Republicans take a course in American history taught by a scholar?

CLEVELAND: On his third try at a game winner, Kyrie Irving finally delivered.
Irving's driving layup over a pair of defenders with 0.6 seconds left gave the Cavaliers a thrilling, exhausting 127-125 double overtime victory Saturday against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Irvnig got the corner on rookie Michael Carter-Williams and laid the ball in with his left hand before Sixers center Spencer Hawes could block it.
Irving had 39 points, a career high 12 assists and five rebounds in 48 ironman minutes on a night the Cavs desperately needed a victory. Dion Waiters had 24 points and eight rebounds, Tristan Thompson had 19 points and 10 rebounds and Jarrett Jack had 20 points off the bench. That quartet, along with Anderson Varejao, played the bulk of the fourth quarter and both overtime sessions.
Michael Carter-Williams' contested, fall away 3-pointer with 11.3 seconds left tied the game at 125 in double overtime, setting up Irving's game winner.
The Cavs seemed to be in control after Jack's 3-pointer with 1:35 left in the first overtime, which extended the lead to 116-109, but the Sixers never quit.
Evan Turner drove baseline to tie the game at 116 with 8.7 seconds left and Irving missed a left-handed push shot at the buzzer, forcing the second overtime.
The Cavs had a chance to win it at the end of regulation, but Irving's slicing, contested shot at the rim hit the iron and rolled out.
Frustrated by too many defensive breakdowns and repeated mistakes, Brown hinted at changes following Friday's loss to the Sixers and he delivered. He moved Alonzo Gee into the starting lineup at small forward and benched Earl Clark for the entire night.
Then he went to Matthew Dellavedova and Henry Sims in the first quarter, sending a message to the veterans he's willing to play anyone who will give him consistent effort and concentration defensively.
The plan seemed to work for a while, but the Cavs' defense again crumbled in the third quarter and forced them to play catch-up throughout the early part of the fourth.
The Sixers shot 62 percent (13 of 21) in the third quarter to turn a slim 52-48 Cavs halftime lead into an 85-78 deficit entering the fourth quarter.
The Sixers extended it to 87-78 before the Cavs came roaring back. Irving made a 3-pointer and a long jumper, Jarrett Jack followed with a 3-pointer in the corner and the Cavs scored 17 of the game's next 22 points.
Irving basket and foul with 6:56 left gave the Cavs a 93-92 lead. Irving stood on the baseline as the crowd roared, waiving his arms and asking for more.
The Cavs remain unbeaten at home and winless on the road. With two big road games upcoming Monday and Wednesday at Chicago and Minnesota, the Cavs desperately needed a victory.
The move back to Gee at small forward was almost expected. He started all 82 games there last season and 113 times over the last two years.
Clark's time in the rotation appears over. He started the first six games, but averaged 4 points and 3.8 rebounds and was shooting 30 percent. He gave the Cavs length on the perimeter defensively, but Gee is considered the better defender.
Gee began Saturday averaging 4.7 points and 3.2 rebounds and is actually averaging more minutes off the bench than Clark was as a starter.

Delegation is an indispensable tool which must be grasped by leaders who expect to be successful. Your members are your greatest resource and they feel more invested and committed in your CIO if they take responsibility for group goals and projects.
Why Delegate?
- It allows more people to be actively involved and increases their commitment
- It distributes the workload and ensures completion of projects
- It helps organizations run more smoothly
- It decreases the chance of member burnout
What to Delegate:
- Frequent or routine task that repeat themselves
- Details that take up large chunks of time
- Specialized tasks that you feel someone is particularly qualified to accomplish
- Tasks that readily generate volunteers
How to Delegate:
- Ask for volunteers or suggest someone you feel would be good for the task. Consider time, interests, and capabilities
- Once Delegated, be sure to explain the importance of the task, and the responsibilities which come with the task
- Support your group members by opening the line of communication, providing help, giving sound feedback, and by con micromanaging
Don't Delegate…
- When someone is over or under qualified for the task
- A task that is within your specific responsibility as an officer
- A controversial issue/project: the "hot potato"
- Something you yourself would not be willing to do

In total we have traveled over 4000 miles through eight states and six major cities. We have eaten at some fun and fantastic roadside diners, drive-ins and dives. We have managed six different snowstorms, dozens of unlit highways and one early morning evacuation. More importantly we have shared countless laughs and hours together.
Wherever Jackie goes to Conservatory is of no consequence compared to what this month has meant to me. The time I have spent with Jackie on the road will always be near and dear to my heart. To see her face each audition with such poise and confidence has given me a glimpse of my little girl stepping toward womanhood and professionalism.
Jackie, I know you will be a success no matter where you go to school, and no matter what you decide to do. I am proud of you and I love you.

Video grabs from Obama for America website
|July 2007 - Supporters who contributed $5 or more to the Obama campaign between June 6-13, 2007 were considered for "Dinner with Barack." On June 21 the campaign announced four participants: Haile Rivera of Bronx, NY, Michael Griffith of Fernley, NV, Margaret Thomas-Jordan of Gonzales, LA and Jennifer Lasko of Lake Worth, FL. Lasko later declined and Christina Cheatham substituted for her. The dinner took place in a Washington, DC restaurant on July 10. The campaign later ran a ten-minute clip on its web site, noting that the four "got the kind of personal time with Barack that other politicians reserve for Washington lobbyists and special interests." The clip showed the five engaging in conversation, and in particular Obama asking questions and listening. The scene did look a bit awkward -- try eating with television camera poking around. Further, the clip ended abruptly with a loud unexplained crash, as if a tray had been knocked over. Haile Rivera posted an account of the day in DC and the dinner on his website, in which he notes that Obama came to the restaurant directly from a trip to Iowa, and that they first did an interview for the Today Show.
PRESS RELEASE from Obama
for America
June 21, 2007
Obama Campaign Announces Dinner with Barack Participants
Individuals Selected Represent Four Different States including Florida, Louisiana, Nevada and New York
Chicago, IL-The Obama campaign today announced the individuals who have been selected to have Dinner with Barack Obama. One week ago, the campaign kicked off an online program that asked people of all different backgrounds to tell the campaign a little bit about themselves. The participants were selected from a group of thousands who submitted their personal stories along with a donation as small as $5 on the website at www.barackobama.com.
I am looking forward to sitting down with this group of four people who are representative of the millions of voices that have been drowned out by the special interests in Washington, said Senator Barack Obama. This dinner is about hearing from the everyday experts on how we can work together to change the problems facing this country today.
The goal was to pull together a group of people who might not otherwise sit down and have dinner together and the participants include a miner from Nevada, the wife of a soldier serving in Iraq from Louisiana, a mentor for young people in the Bronx and a former Republican who is working as a firefighter and paramedic in Florida.
The dinner will take place in July at a restaurant in Washington, DC. Transportation and accommodations will be paid for by the campaign.
Individuals Selected for Dinner with Barack Obama:
Haile Rivera, Bronx NY
Haile works as a community program specialist with the Food Bank for New York City during the day which includes work with food pantries, youth programs and soup kitchens. In his spare time, he founded Hands on New York, a non-profit organization in New York City dedicated to getting school age kids involved in civics. Haile feels that Barack Obama understands the importance of increasing employment and education opportunities for minorities. He has seen first hand how No Child Left Behind has disappointed educators across the country and knows that Senator Obama is serious in getting our education system back on the right track.
Michael Griffith, Fernley NV
Michael is a miner in western Nevada whose health care costs have tripled over recent years. This is Michaels first time donating or participating in politics and he felt that as his family grew, so did his concern with the direction of the country. He is supporting Barack Obama because he believes that we need a change of leadership in this country so that we can bring the troops home and lower the skyrocketing cost of healthcare that is an enormous financial burden on working class families like his own.
Margaret Thomas-Jordan, Gonzales LA
Margaret is a working mother of two boys, age nineteen months and eleven years and she is attending school to become a nurse. Margarets husband was shipped to Iraq last month and he is currently serving a fifteen month tour. Health care costs have grown especially difficult for Margaret and she is struggling with access to health care because she does not qualify as a traditional student. Margaret is supporting Barack Obama because she believes that he is truly reaching out to all people and uniting the country around a common goal.
Jennifer Lasko, Lake Worth FL
Jennifer used to be an active member of the Republican Party and was a member of the College Republicans at Cornell University. She served as an officer in the army after graduating and is now a full time firefighter and paramedic in Lake Worth. Jennifer is most troubled by the strain the war in Iraq has left on the military and she supports Barack Obama in his efforts to bring the troops home. The last campaign that Jennifer participated in was Reagan-Bush in 1984. She feels that Senator Obama is the best candidate to reverse the damage created by divisive politics that has plagued our country.

Issue 4-2011
"Reise-Motorrad" magazine tested twelve different locks in its 4/2011 issue. The Abus Granit Victory plus was awarded a "Reise-Motorrad" recommendation. The following features were given special mention:
- was not broken by a lock pick!!
- good quality, excellent workmanship
- reliable in use
(Four locks were recommended in the test)
Issue 01-2009
In its 1/2009 issue, "Dream Machines" magazine tested fifteen different locks. The Abus Granit Victory X-Plus (along with three others) was awarded the Dream Machines "Best Buy" recommendation . Verdict:
"Small, convenient brake disc lock that takes up little space. A holder, available separately, allows it to be attached to the bike if there is nowhere to store it."
Issue 01-2007
"Extremely compact lock that is easy to use and requires little space. Cylinder lock with disk tumbler. Small "mushroom", therefore with a very short locking pin, to prevent slipping through the opening in the brake disc mount. The design makes it less suitable for wire wheels, as spokes or the inner rim of the brake disc are usually in the way. High security because, apart from the opening of the cylinder lock, there is virtually nowhere for tools to get a grip."

1. Nurse cleared over $300k will dispute
A nurse bequeathed $315,000 by an elderly couple who she cared for has been cleared of unethical behaviour by the health watchdog - despite concerns from the couple's son that it was too much money.

Shane Jones says he's not a 'sellout' for leaving the Labour party to take up a position created by the National-led Government.
The MP blindsided his Labour Party colleagues by announcing last night he intended to quit politics just months out from the election, saying he did not believe he could give 100 per cent to his role any more despite being Labour's big impact player over the past few months.

"Merge on to US-78 E towards Birmingham. Drive for 116 miles."
The Google directions from Georgia Russell's house to the Birmingham United practice fields are daunting. Anyone less committed or less hard-working would probably turn away immediately.
But not Russell. She crosses state lines at least twice a week to play for Birmingham United. She knows it's the best competition around, and for the past two years, she's made the trip to compete at the highest level.
"If I wanted to play for a Division I school, I knew this was something I needed to do," says Georgia, a native of Tupelo, Miss. She made the switch to Birmingham United after her sophomore year of high school.
Her father Bo, who often drives her two-and-a-half hours to and from practice, echoes her sentiment.
"We know that soccer is not really a rural sport," says Bo, a former All-SEC football player at Mississippi State. "But she's a tremendous athlete, and the coaches at BUSA have really worked with her on the technical side."
Birmingham United isn't necessarily the closest option for the Russells. There are local Tupelo teams and then there are a few solid clubs about an hour and a half away in Memphis. But BUSA provides the best possible competition for Georgia, the 2010 Tupelo Daily Journal Player of the Year.
"You're not going to get any better unless you compete against better players or better competition," says Bo. "BUSA really gave her the best chance to do that."
Georgia has thrived in Birmingham, earning a scholarship to Ole Miss, where she enrolled this January. She has played in all three spring games for the Rebels at left back.
And for Birmingham United, she's one of many Division I commitments. Players travel from all across the south to play for Alabama's only ECNL squad.
Erin Katz, a senior from Montgomery, Ala., travels 100 miles north to play for BUSA. In fact, it was her local coaches at the Capitol City Streaks who urged her to try out for the Birmingham squad a few years ago. Erin took the tryout, and since then she's been making the hour and a half trip at least twice a week.
"For me it's really simple, I love the competition," Erin says. "I love any chance I get to get better. I want to play with players who feel the same way, and challenge each other any way they can."
Erin is a true competitor, and a true team player. She's fought through two ACL injuries, and even when she was on crutches, she still made the trip to practices and games.
"I love my teammates. I knew from the beginning they were the kind of players I wanted to be with."
Her mother and father typically split the duty of driving Erin to practice. She often does homework in the car or sometimes catches a little nap.
"Erin has excelled academically, and that has really made this all possible," says her father Brad. He says they usually try to have dinner ready for her in the car after practice. It's all a lesson in time management.
"I feel like it's easier for me to balance things when I'm more busy," Erin says. "Being in the car forces me to either read or sleep. In all honesty, the time in the car is probably good for me."
And once she gets to Birmingham, it's definitely good for her.
"The speed of play is much better, the technical aspect is much better and the touch is much better," says Brad. He says not only does BUSA play against better competition, but the coaching has made Erin an all-around better player.
In February she signed a commitment to Brown this fall.
For Erin and Georgia, it's all worth the trip. In fact, only about half the BUSA roster is actually from the Birmingham area. It's a squad that comes from far and wide -- even across state lines -- to play at the highest level.

A vigilance inquiry into the alleged lapses in police investigation in the gang rape of a five-year-old girl at east Delhi's Gandhi Nagar has indicted the Station House Officer of the local police station for dereliction of duty.
The report states that while there was no inordinate delay in the registration of an FIR in the case, serious lapses followed on the part of the SHO, Dharampal Singh.
"The SHO should have, as per procedure, conducted a local enquiry subsequent to the registration of the FIR and investigated the crime scene," the reports states, adding that the SHO had not even sent a forensic team to the crime spot for collection of evidence.
Although the Special Initial Report (SIR) was sent to senior officers at the district headquarters, it mentioned only the initial registration of an FIR while regular updates, as per procedure, were not provided.
Instead of monitoring the investigation into the case immediately, the child's mother was asked, to arrange photographs of various sizes for paper work.
The report said that while a case was registered immediately, the police gave a lukewarm response.

The New England Patriots will conclude their preseason on Thursday night as they take on the New York Giants. For the Pats, it's been a long week since their 40-9 blowout loss to the Detroit Lions. There has been off-the-field news with the latest Aaron Hernandez article in Rolling Stone and on-the-field news with the release of 2011 2nd round pick, cornerback Ras-I Dowling. Generally, in the fourth preseason game, not a lot of the starters see action, if any at all, because the team wants as many of their players to be as healthy as possible for the season opener. The Patriots will also use this time to decide which players will make the roster when it gets trimmed down to 53 Saturday and which players could get sent to the practice squad or released. There is a chance that Tom Brady could play Thursday like he did two years ago to avoid going into the season with the bad taste in their mouths that they received in Detroit.
The Patriots' opponents, the New York Giants, are trying to avoid more injuries in a preseason full of them for Tom Coughlin. They lost their starting safety in Stevie Brown last week against the Jets due to a torn ACL. Two weeks ago, they saw their starting center (David Baas) and one of Eli Manning's key targets (Victor Cruz) fall victim to the injury bug. For the Giants, they are in a division that is wide open and have a young running back that can make explosive plays in David Wilson, who will fill the shoes of Ahmad Bradshaw this season.
Here are my keys to watching this final preseason game:
1. The Last of Tebow Time?: The national spotlight still circles around no. 5 Tim Tebow, but not as much as it used to. All eyes will be on when Tebow plays, how long he will play, and the quality of his play. Two weeks ago, Tebow looked awful against the Buccaneers with just -1 yard passing and one interception. Coach Belichick has said that Tebow has looked good in practice and he likes what he sees, but that has not translated to the preseason action. In fact, he makes Ryan Mallett's performance look good considering Mallett has had a disappointing preseason. If Tebow plays well, it may open up more creative uses in the offense by Josh McDaniels. Otherwise, it is more likely that the former Florida QB gets cut or stays on the roster as an inactive third string quarterback. However, considering this is the fourth preseason game, a Tebow vs. Ryan Nassib matchup would be interesting as well.
2. Getting Caught With A Cole: The Patriots do have needs at cornerback with the release of Dowling and with a pending court date for Alfonzo Dennard on September 6, two days before the opener. We have talked about Logan Ryan before in these previews and the rookie has had an excellent preseason. However, keep an eye on Marquise Cole. Cole saw some extensive playing time down the stretch last season, even though the memory of him is watching Anquan Boldin scorch him in the AFC Championship Game last season. Right now, the third cornerback spot is up for grabs with Aqib Talib and Kyle Arrington locked up as the other two corners. Also, keep an eye on undrafted rookie free agent, Stephon Morris. Morris impressed writers in mini-camp and the early stages of training camp before suffering a hamstring injury.
3. Falling On Fumbles: When the Patriots 1st team was on the field last week, the offense had a bad case of fumbles. This includes rookie tight end Zach Sudfeld and running backs Brandon Bolden and Shane Vereen. Belichick will look for much better ball protection in the preseason finale. This is important for Brandon Bolden because Bolden is battling with LeGarrette Blount for that third running back spot. Bolden did have one great game last season against the Bills, but he has not shown many flashes this preseason, as opposed to Blount. With the extensive playing time he should get, this is his chance to make an impression on the coaching staff.
Player to Watch: KR/PR Leon Washington – Leon Washington did not see any action against the Lions and the Patriots are in need of help on special teams. Washington has great value in both the kick and punt return game. With the Patriots stacked at running back, Washington's impact will most likely be on special teams. It will be interesting to see if Washington can distinguish himself in that role like he did with the Seahawks and the Jets. I think he will make the team and will make an impact in Thursday's game against the Giants.

Women "Steals" Her Stolen Bike Back from Thief
This story is awesome. A Canadian woman recently got her bike stolen...and a few days later, a friend alerted her to a Craigslist ad for her bike. So she did what anyone would do. She stole it back. And kinda like a badass, too. (Don't worry, she made sure to check certain details, including the bikes serial number, to make sure it was hers.)

Insulation only works to keep heat in if there is a heat source. If it were me I would keep it in a sealed ammo box with desiccant and be done with it. Make sure it has a good coating/film of oil before storing it.
Hey fellow gun-lovers!
My question is about storing guns in cold environment.
I have decided to store a backup gun for a possible rainy day. Because you never know what can happen in the future.
The spots i have thought of are a wooden storage on my property or under the house. The problem(if there is one) is that in the winter time, it can get very cold here. Here we can get like -30-35 Celsius(average day like -5-15c in the winter). I have thought of building a wooden box, with layers of insulation on it and a plastic airtight outer layer(to keep the moisture out).
But still i guess it gets pretty cold in there, probably minus degrees. Is this a problem? I know that if there is moisture and that freezes its very bad(or moisture in general). But i have thought of adding these chemical bags that prevent moisture.
Any thought on would this work?
If not, any ideas on storing a gun on this kind of environment.
Thank you for your expertise!
Insulation only works to keep heat in if there is a heat source. If it were me I would keep it in a sealed ammo box with desiccant and be done with it. Make sure it has a good coating/film of oil before storing it.
So it stands cold(high minus degrees) if there is no moisture?
You can google the subject of storing guns in the cold.
Definitely want to keep moisture out, Insulated with a vapor barrier would be a start.
Oiled down with a special lubricant that would not solidify (cold temps )because the gun needs to be a functional accessible backup firearm.
When storing firearms under ground for any reason, you're going to encounter corrosion issues of some kind. Fluctuating temps will take a toll on a firearm after a matter of time.
If it's a firearm that you will need to access at some point, it's gonna have to be battery ready, if that's your initial intention for storing it in the first place.
Me.....I'd never store a firearm under ground. Just too many variables that could and will effect it's condition sooner or later. I know at some depth, the temp stabilizes and becomes more constant. But, I don't have any idea how far down you would have to dig.
Anyways, it just sounds like a lot of fuss and hassle. I do understand your concern, but I'd be looking in other directions.

Wi-Fi Channels
Within the designated Wi-Fi bands, such as the 2.4Ghz band, there are specific channels Wi-Fi access points may use. Although there are 14 available channels in the 2.4GHz band, each individual channel has a spread of approximately 22Mhz, which significantly overlaps surrounding channels. As such, multiple devices set to adjacent channels in a small physical space (such as an apartment block) will interfere with each other. For example, if you are having problems with Wi-Fi connectivity and sustained data transmission through your Wi-Fi router, it is recommended to check the operating channels of all detectable Wi-Fi access points to ensure your Wi-Fi access point isn't operating on the same or adjacent channel as nearby access points. You can read more about identifying and changing your Wi-Fi channel here.

The Mystics have signed Hayley Saunders for the upcoming ANZ Championship season after losing both Anna Harrison (pregnant) and Charlotte Kight (injury) recently.
Saunders, who plays at either centre or wing defence, previously played for the Southern Steel from 2010 to 2012 and will arrive in Auckland today.
The former New Zealand under-21 and Fastnet Ferns international had been in talks with the Canterbury Tactix about a potential move to Christchurch after finding no room in a congested Steel midcourt this season.
"Hayley trained with the team last week and her past experience and commitment really showed through,'' Mystics coach Ruth Aitken said. "We are delighted that Hayley has been able to make a lot of changes to her life in a very short space of time to enable her to move to Auckland and join the team.''
She was largely a bench player in her first two seasons with the Steel but played 11 games last season in the ANZ Championship.
The league tips off on March 24 when the Queensland Firebirds and Steel meet in Brisbane.

With the async wal approach (
HBASE-11568), the edits are not persisted (to wal) in the secondary region replicas. However this means that we have to deal with secondary region replica failures.
We can seek to re-replicate the edits from primary to the secondary when the secondary region is opened in another server but this would mean to setup a replication queue again, and holding on to the wals for longer.
Instead, we can design it so that the edits form the secondaries are not persisted to wal, and if the secondary replica fails over, it will not start serving reads until it has guaranteed that it has all the past data.
For guaranteeing that the secondary replica has all the edits before serving reads, we can use flush and region opening markers. Whenever a region open event is seen, it writes all the files at the time of opening to wal (
HBASE-11512). In case of flush, the flushed file is written as well, and the secondary replica can do a ls for the store files and pick up all the files before the seqId of the flushed file. So, in this design, the secodary replica will wait until it sees and replays a flush or region open marker from wal from primary. and then start serving. For speeding up replica opening time, we can trigger a flush to the primary whenever the secondary replica opens as an optimization.

enis: Whenever a secondary starts serving, it will trigger a flush from the primary region ..
stack: How will this work?
Do you have a sense on what the policy will be? can you fill in more details about how this would work?
Sorry I should have missed that one.
The reason we need special handling in secondary region replicas is that the edits are replayed to secondaries, but the WAL is skipped in secondary replicas. This is because we do not want to cause additional WAL writes for secondaries.
However, this implies that when the secondary region replica starts serving, it cannot make sure that it has all the memstore updates because some of it may have been missed after the last flush. So, what I am thinking is a mechanism with two parts:
- Whenever a secondary is opened, it will reject read requests until it makes sure (on its own) that is has all the updates up to a seqId. The seqId has to be greater than the last flush seqId of the files since a previous open of the same region replica might have replayed some in-memory data, and we do not want the seqId served from a particular replica_id to go back. At this state, the secondary will watch for flush start and commit events from WAL replay. The secondary will ignore all replayed edits before seeing a flush start record. After seeing flush start, it will apply all edits to memstores. Once the secondary sees the corresponding flush commit, it can pick up the new flushed file, and start serving from all flushed files and its memstore data.
- As an optimization so that the secondary will sooner start serving data, the region server opening a secondary region replica will make an RPC to the RS serving the primary for a flush. This will result either a flush, which will asynchronously be replayed to the secondary, or a no-op because memstores are empty. In the latter case, we should still drop a WAL marker though.

This will result either a flush, which will asynchronously be replayed to the secondary, or a no-op because memstores are empty. In the latter case, we should still drop a WAL marker though.
Would this be on by default or would this be an option? It seems that in a failure situation we would hit a "flush amplification" problem which seems concerning.
Let's say we have a 20 node cluster with each rs having 25 regions on them. If those regions have 2 secondaries, each hosts would have 50 secondaries. Let's say one rs goes down When these secondaries gets rebalanced, they'd get spread around a bunch likely landing on every or almost every node in the cluster. If each secondary region reopening triggers a flush request we'd end up with a lot of flush requests, all around the same time all across the cluster, no? This seems problematic. We could probably coalesce some of the flushes (each rs receiving secondaries could consolidate all into one flush) but if we had 5 machines go down wouldn't we still get 5x the flushes?
Would this be on by default or would this be an option? It seems that in a failure situation we would hit a "flush amplification" problem which seems concerning
I think we may want to turn this on by default, but we'll have to have some operational experience with the setting. You are right that there is a sync flush concern, but w/o making secondary replica edits durable in wal, there seems no other way other than waiting for a flush to start serving data from memstore.
We can also add some jitter as well to cope with this.
I have put up a patch for review for this. The RB description goes into some detail what the patch contains.
I've reviewed the patch and left some comments on the review board. +1 assuming unit tests pass.
For the "flush amplifications", it's more an optimization issue which can be addressed by secondary replica sends the seqId it firstly sees as part of flush request. Primary region can check if it's last flushed seqId is larger than the passed seqId from replica to decide if to perform a flush.
Thanks Jeffrey for the review. Attaching updated patch from RB.

Re: MP Freezing Problem[ Edited ]
I've got a **bleep** 2mbit/s internet connection, so I check my ping via " HLSW " every now and then. Usually it's a stable 50-60 ping to a CS server. If I start playing TLOU however, my whole internet connection starts to lag like hell, as seen in this screenshot: https://imageshack.com/scaled/large/853/uq3h.jpg ( red means 300ms+). It only happens after starting a map in MP, between rounds it gets a bit better, but when the next map starts it's gettin very high again. When the ping now reaches it's peak I'm pretty much frozen and can't move at all. So for me it's pretty much the game lagging itself making it almost unplayable in MP.
Re: MP Freezing Problem
a 2mbit connection? LOL
the last of us is no game for poor ppl. if you don't have a 50mbit wired connection go home and play whatever it is the plebs nowadays fancies to entertain themselfes with.
Re: MP Freezing Problem[ Edited ]
Same thing is happening to me. Played the multiplayer several hours the first day without any problems. Second day it's unplayable. I can move the first few seconds in a match but then I'm stuck for the rest of it. I can stil move the camera, enter the menus etc but not move or do anything else. Someone please fix this, I really loved the multiplayer for this game!
Btw I'm located in Sweden with a pretty good wireless internet connection.

Use Ethernet.
Re: MP Freezing Problem
Re: MP Freezing Problem
There could be some serious latency issues in connection at one point while it might be running normal at another.
It's about the average quality of a connection, and that is why you can have 2- 3 games running smoothly and then BAMMM!!! MP freezing problems since your ISP decided to crap out for a few minutes.
A 50 or a 100 mbps connection does not mean that the connection is a quality internet connection, it could be having serious downtimes in between.
Don't mix Quantity with Quality, both are 2 different aspects of an internet connection.
Re: MP Freezing Problem[ Edited ]
Also do remember that when playing any MP game that uses a p2p connection, the maximum amount of data being uploaded & downloaded per hour does not even exceed 200 Mb.
So even a 2 Mbps connection is fine albiet the connection does not drop packets, which has got to do more with the infrastructure + architecture of the network, than with the amount of bandwidth present.
Here's an analogy to better understand what I am trying to explain here -
Even a 20 Feet WIDE road, which is well paved, does not Pitfalls is enough to travel distance safely and efficiently, however even a 2000feet WIDE road not well paved, full of Huge pitfalls, Blind turns & basically without proper infrastructure will not be the most safe & efficient.
On similar lines, those ISP who have not invested adequately in putting a proper infrastructure required according to the network at hand, will lead to packet loss even though they might be offering speeds of over 100Mbps.
So stop this TARZAN chest beating of having a 100 Mbps & 2000Gbps connections, doesn't prove SQUAT, and stop dissing on people who don't have the same so called "econmic status" as yours.
Re: MP Freezing Problem[ Edited ]
@ Minic
Some people are born r3t4rds, don't give much attention to such peeps. I would rather suggest trying a better ISP, it could be dropping packets, which leads to the freezing problem.
Also as explained earlier the data transferred is very less and it does require you to have a mammoth internet connection just to play a simple p2p game.
i would suggest finding out which ISP has a More stable connection, and the best way to do that is interact with other LOCAL players who play TLOU MP and are not experiencing the same problems of freezing, they maybe there in your school/college/workplace etc.
That should solve your problem

Creativity as emergence : policy issues for creative cities
Hartley, John (2010) Creativity as emergence : policy issues for creative cities. In 5th Creative China Harmonious World International Forum on Cultural Industries, October 11, 2010, Beijing, China. (Unpublished)
Accepted Version
(PDF 188kB)
The creative industries concept was born in the UK, nurtured in Australia (among other countries), but is now being implemented most vigorously in China. The UK and Australia seem to be pulling back from the concept: • Critical response to CI policy in the UK; and post-GFC cutbacks limit scope for government action. • Australia relies on the resources boom; even though recent WIPO report puts Australian 'copyright industries' at over 10 percent of GDP (second only to the USA at 11%). Not surprisingly the USA remains happy with the term 'copyright industries.' This faltering policy environment in advanced countries may work to their own longer-term economic detriment. The creative industries' transformative impact on the global economy may come instead from China.

whiskeytown summer dream
A heavyweight of the American independent film scene, Jim Jarmusch offers five invaluable rules to filmmaking that will inspire and fuel filmmakers of all experience levels. At the heart of these rules is a caring touch for the personal, and though they shed light on great insights in filmmaking, it is important to note the director's very first words: There are no rules. This key declaration expresses the simple truth that each filmmaker has his or her own personal journey to take through the world of cinema. Get inspired by Jim Jarmusch and his golden rules to filmmaking!
Rule #1
There are no rules. There are as many ways to make a film as there are potential filmmakers. It's an open form. Anyway, I would personally never presume to tell anyone else what to do or how to do anything. To me that's like telling someone else what their religious beliefs should be. Fuck that. That's against my personal philosophy—more of a code than a set of "rules." Therefore, disregard the "rules" you are presently reading, and instead consider them to be merely notes to myself. One should make one's own "notes" because there is no one way to do anything. If anyone tells you there is only one way, their way, get as far away from them as possible, both physically and philosophically.
Rule #2
Don't let the fuckers get ya. They can either help you, or not help you, but they can't stop you. People who finance films, distribute films, promote films and exhibit films are not filmmakers. They are not interested in letting filmmakers define and dictate the way they do their business, so filmmakers should have no interest in allowing them to dictate the way a film is made. Carry a gun if necessary.
Also, avoid sycophants at all costs. There are always people around who only want to be involved in filmmaking to get rich, get famous, or get laid. Generally, they know as much about filmmaking as George W. Bush knows about hand-to-hand combat.
Rule #3
The production is there to serve the film. The film is not there to serve the production. Unfortunately, in the world of filmmaking this is almost universally backwards. The film is not being made to serve the budget, the schedule, or the resumes of those involved. Filmmakers who don't understand this should be hung from their ankles and asked why the sky appears to be upside down.
Rule #4
Filmmaking is a collaborative process. You get the chance to work with others whose minds and ideas may be stronger than your own. Make sure they remain focused on their own function and not someone else's job, or you'll have a big mess. But treat all collaborators as equals and with respect. A production assistant who is holding back traffic so the crew can get a shot is no less important than the actors in the scene, the director of photography, the production designer or the director. Hierarchy is for those whose egos are inflated or out of control, or for people in the military. Those with whom you choose to collaborate, if you make good choices, can elevate the quality and content of your film to a much higher plane than any one mind could imagine on its own. If you don't want to work with other people, go paint a painting or write a book. (And if you want to be a fucking dictator, I guess these days you just have to go into politics…).
Rule #5
Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is nonexistent. And don't bother concealing your thievery—celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: "It's not where you take things from—it's where you take them to."

At first glance, the desert landscape of the Agua Fria National Monument in Arizona seems an endless display of sunburned mesas. If you look closely, an intimate, living and vibrant landscape appears. Canyons, towering plateaus, rolling plains and lush riparian habitats reveal themselves as one passes through the landscape. The Monument's water sources include rivers, streams, creeks and pools, which provide cooling habitat for fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and larger wildlife species such as pronghorn, coyote, javelina and deer. In addition to plants and wildlife, the careful observer will find pueblos and petroglyphs throughout the monument, silent reminders of the native people who once lived in this unique landscape and of modern American Indian tribes that regard these sites as a vital part of their heritage.
Taking its name from the Agua Fria River, the Agua Fria National Monument features one of the most significant systems of prehistoric sites in the American Southwest. Today, the 70,900-acre monument is cared for by the Bureau of Land Management. Located within the Monument is the 55,200 acre "Perry Mesa Archaeological District," which is the largest historic district listed on the National Register of Historic Places in North America.
Visitors are invited to take a closer look at this national monument designated to protect its historic, scientific and scenic land. For example, Pueblo Pato is the largest prehistoric archaeological site in the Agua Fria National Monument. This village was inhabited by several hundred people and contains at least 150 rooms. The pueblo, located at the north rim of Perry Tank Canyon, offers a spectacular view of the canyon and of Joe's Hill, an extinct volcano. The cliffs below the ruins display a gallery of prehistoric rock art. Pueblo Pato is named for a distinctive petroglyph of a duck ("pato" in Spanish).
The Agua Fria National Monument successfully utilizes volunteers and partnerships to support the monument's mission: protecting natural and heritage resources, engaging local communities and providing youth opportunities. Partner and volunteer activities provide assistance in community outreach, visitor information, cultural site monitoring and protection, historical research, data collection and outdoor education. The AFNM and its partners work together around a shared vision to increase mutual interests and to successfully reach mutual goals.
One of the monument's most valuable partnerships is with the Friends of the Agua Fria National Monument. In 2012, the Friends contributed 1,625 volunteer hours. The Friends play an important role in assisting the BLM with critical support for monument activities. The Friends organize outings and perform service projects on the monument, including: monitoring cultural resources, recording rock art, assisting in heritage resource surveys, guiding hikes and outings, removing non-native plant species, performing trash pickups and conducting annual mapping of perennial pools along the Agua Fria River.
