"CTC Ainthinai - Rajendra Chola's 1000 Year Celebration &Dr.Nammalvar's First Anniversary Memorial Tree Plantation Drive"
It was 26th night around 9:45 PM and no sign of other trip mates as Shantha was patiently taking calls from the other group mates reminding them of the 'sharp 9:30 PM' on the e-mail and giving directions to arrive at the pick point. As it was nearing 10, people started joining us. One member, of course with all the directions from our accountant took 2 long hours to arrive from Minambakkam :) God only knows what was his mode of transport that night and little did he know about him unless or until his introduction ;). So after our group's theatre artist arrived, we started to Madambakkam and with the organizers joining us there, we finally started off to Thanjavur. That night passed on with chit chats as the organizers were discussing the past trip adventures and misadventures ;) while some of us trying to sleep amidst the traffic, horn sounds near the toll lanes and pits and holes in the road. None of us realized it was 4 AM when we stopped for tea on the way and after a brisk tea, we got in and continued the conversation until we reached Thanjavur.
With a plan to start at 8 AM to the Brihadishvara temple, all 5 of us refreshed quickly, waited for some time for the guys and with no sign of them, took a long walk where we were exchanging our thoughts and experiences and the weather was just too perfect for us to enjoy our walk. And just as we got back, we saw the guys coming down one by one, while Massu had already tasted the food in the nearbly two hotels and was suggesting which one was the best for us to have idlis based on how the batter had fermented. Of course, it was only after our breakfast was done, did he add the feedback from the same hotel owner that the place wasn't the best one for pooris :( much to the grief of those who had already had it in their breakfast. After one more round of tea, we started towards our first spot from an amazing itenary decked up with Chola temples.
We reached the Periya kovil, which is a UNESCO world heritage site and Siva started explaining about the cause of preserving historical sites that the group had initiated and the agenda of the trip to mark 1000 years of the Chola temples and to have a Sapling plantation drive in Elangadu for the first anniversary in the memory of organic farming scientist Dr. Nammalvar. We started moving around the temple as the organizers were trying to use one of their older letters to explore the upper portion of the temple, a restricted area. Unfortunately, we couldn't get a chance to explore that part of temple as there was some renovation work going on. As soon as Siva and Massi were back, we proceeded towards the garbagriha. One thing to notice here is the 81 dance postures of Lord Shiva. It was one and hour of observing and getting amazed at the Chola art right in front of us as each one of us were sharing interesting facts about the temple on how the temple was built by assembling stones and starting carving the stones from the top till the bottom. We slowly went around the temple observing the various deities with some touches of Tanjore painting here and there, visible as light shades. We were surprised to see that these natural colours survived 1000 years and were still visible and the effort put in the Chola kings to pass on the stories, mantras and many many things to future generations in the form of inscriptions. Few more things to not to miss here are the carvings depicting the war – one of them being an elephant holding a warrior who is sitting over a horse which in turn standing over another warrior(found on the side of a staircase to Subramanhya shrine) and the continuation on the other side of the same stairs shows the fate of the men in the war, inscriptions with donor names mentioned in right side of the temple (there are a whopping 3 lakh names mentioned and there every chance for your name to appear in that list :), man with a hat (something similar to what we wear these days) on the same side.
Then after lunch and spl Tanjore Lassi, we headed next to Darasuram Airatheeswarar temple. We first saw the Sapta swaras which has the characteristic of producing a sound similar to each one of the 7 musical note (SRGMPDN) as we step on them. Due to our enthusiastic tourist population in India, who may overstep/throw stones on them in their attempt to listen to the notes and may damage the musical quality in these steps, these were barricaded much to our dismay :(. As we proceeded in further, we were amazed as what stood in front of us, every small part of the temple was filled with a beautiful carving and everyone sprang into action trying to study what those meant. The architecture spoke more of the life of the people in those days – warfare, their ways of entertainment - postures similar to what we call Yoga/gymnastic now, people interlocking to form a full 360 degrees formation, Kanappa Nayanar, Vali-sugriva combat, an optical illusion something similar to the photoshoped images with a cow and elephant entangled from either sides, three headed Ardhanareewarar.
This way of trying to understand the carvings somehow reminded me of a Dan Brown book, where every page is one step towards a mystery or puzzle, and here I was experiencing one myself, as every other pillar and carving had a story in it to tell and a group of us were trying to read what it meant. As we were exploring the temple we came across a portion which seemed to designed for the water from top to stagnate once it falls down, that's when Siva and Masu explained that one point of time, the temple was in gold and the circles near the water logging portion were huge diyas and the water would reflect the light from the diyas giving a golden glow to the entire place. It was going to be never ending tale to explore everything in the temple, and we headed next to the home of Siva's friend who showed us how hand-loom sarees are made and couldn't resist checking and buying some. Then after having some hot Sugiyan, we headed to Thirukattupalli.
On the way, someone remarked that we could cook that night and then Malika, Masu, Shyam, Anu, Shantha sprang into action and put the list of items. While some of them went to purchase items, we had another round of snacks. It was around 9:15, when we settled down and Rathi and Anu started chopping vegetables quickly, as Malika our head chef was readying everything else, not to forget Karthik and Shyam for their contribution in raitha onions ;). It was around 11, when we started having the dinner and after dinner, while some of them went to get some sleep, the owls settled down for a campfire. That's when we had a proper introduction and came to know about the rest of the members in the group much better and it was good to know some of them who were very passionate about organic farming like Mani. As and we decided to finally get some rest as the next day was the most important one for which the trip was planned, it was 2 AM and amidst all snoring sounds, we somehow got into a deep sleep, deep enough to realize only in the morning that people had changed positions owing to the late night rains. We could see few people sleeping on the side of the window, some on the stairs and some in van.
Then after a quick refresher, we stopped near a tea stall for a brisk tea and after observing a group of little cormorants, we headed to Elangadu. While Siva and Parthiban went to purchase saplings, we went to the farm. Few of them took out the shovel and started digging in while Malika, Kavith and I took out the sickles proceeded for mulching. After clearing up a major part of the land, we joined the rest of the group where we had a variety of refreshments to choose from (guava, nellikai, something similar to musk melon). As the plant saplings were yet to arrive, we proceeded to cauvery aaru for a dip that turned into a bath. The initial plan for five of us was only to stand in water and get back silently, thanks to Massi 's splash of water with an excuse of the group pic wherein all 5 of us got drenched completely. Then there was no need to stand still in water anymore. It's when you hit water a long time you realize that all your swimming skills are also gone with running water itself, the area wasn't that deep luckily, though that couldn't stop me envying at people like Divakar and others who were enjoying their swim to the fullest. Thanks to Vijay and Shyam for staying beside me to ensure for my safety in my so-called swim.
That's when Siva and Parthi arrived and shivering as were when we got out of water, sugar candies greeted us. Then fully drenched as we were, we quickly headed to the farm and planted the sapling for which the holes were dug out. After refreshing, we went to Prakash place for a yummy brunch accompanied by Asoka (sweet made from Paasi payuru). As we were relaxing in the house after having food, we were chatting among ourselves and as the conversation was brewing, we asked Karthi where all he had been trekking, for which Karthi responded that every second Wednesday of the Month he would be trekking (and as Ramesh and few others too joined to hear what was next as everyone was wondering what was so spl about the second Wednesday and if he would get an off only on Wednesdays) from ground floor to fourth floor (Of course he meant the maintenance cut when the lift wasn't available). After being clean bowled like this, no more checking with others about their treks no matter how much ever they want to share.
After another set of group pics for our most enthusiastic photographers, we started to Dr. Nammazhvar's house, where we were moved by his brother's words and with his age, he was going on and on and was wanting to interact more and more with us as we informed him that we had come to plant a sapling on late Dr. Nammazhvar ayya's memory. We planted the sapling right outside his house with his brother's son and other relatives to give us company. As Massu was sharing his experience with the scientist, we posed for a pic for our passionate photographers. As we headed back with two different plans to choose from on how to spend time while heading back to Chennai, we stopped near a bridge until Prakash's belongings had to arrive and as we were waiting and posing for another set of pics, this time the jumping snaps too for a change, we saw large groups of cormorants flying past us. Then, our next stop was Kallanai dam built by Karikala Cholan. It was a really beautiful view from the top of the dam and Mani and Vijay (with his famous Ak47 posture) was in action this time capturing the egrets in the water, the water as it was flowing through three different directions and some children as they were splashing water and playing at a distance.
It was a breathtaking view from the side of the dam as well and it was amusing to see it fully functional and withstanding the force of Cauvery till date. While we had a great time enjoying the Greater Cormorant having its catch of fish there, it was disturbing to see plastics floating in those water and all through the pathway and just a hope that someday tourists would realize the need their responsibility they owe towards the society by not littering these popular spots. After another round of photographs, we headed to our van and were checking out photographs and began another round of chit chats until the evening snack. And as the van started back to, Pranav announced that we play some games. So we started with Dumb and our super artist anu dhaan pulliyar suzhi pottu vechanga. After a fun round of dumb C, we halted in villupuram for withdrawing money for our accountant. Then after dinner in Aariyas, as we headed back to our van, Pranav introduced us to a new game "volleyball".. Even after trailing 15-19, finally got the game 20-19 and a victory pic.. thanks to Vijayanand, Dhivakar and Mani in that team :D..
Then there was a round of thrashing, that 2 minutes after thrashing was the most silent moment in the van as chatterbox Pranav had closed his mouth for so long in those 2 days. And as we were wrapping up, Tambaram arrived and it was a dawn of realization the weekend was finally over and Monday has begun. It was a fun filled weekend and a huge huge thank you to the organizers Siva and Massu for a wonderful trip, Shantha for staying on the top of the accounts, and the photographers Ramesh and Shyam for capturing the most memorable moments throughout the trip and their attempts to make us burst out into a laughter with mouth wide open :D (Something that they succeeded in doing), with most of the group pics being eligible for the toothpaste ad ;). Jokes apart, it was a super awesome trip with each one of us having something interesting to share and we couldn't have had a much perfect way to end the year planting trees and growing oxygen :) around us. With new year having begun and resolutions at a peak, you cannot take a much better resolution of planting some trees this year and making our world a better place to live in.

Its another park that's own by Walt Disney, however it's not as mystical as Disneyland is. One ride we stuck to was the Hollywood Hotel ride.

Happy friday, friends! how are you? As I write this, I'm about 30,000 ft up (give or take) on our way to Paris. I did pretty well on the over night flight. I think I slept maybe 3 hours on the flight?! Impressive for me. Alex and I are looking forward to exploring the markets of France, but to be quite honest, I'm not as excited as I would be if, say we were in Mexico or Guatemala. Tropical fruit rules my heart... and my gut... and my life. But still, I'm always happy to try a new berry or whatever else ;) So speaking of fruit, I know you guys enjoyed my last giant fruit post I did a few months back—- so since then I've been collecting photos of more tropical fruits in our area to share with you guys. We're seriously so incredibly lucky to have so many amazing fruits growing right in our own neighborhood and so many right next door. So so so so lucky.
jackfruit growing in the neighborhood.
and inside jackfruit. man, this fruit is a dinosaur beast. Sticky icky. The latex doesn't come off! But mmm it tastes like the most delicious bubble gum.
guanoabana and some mangoes.
Florida avocados.
mangoes, we love you.
okay fine, garlic is an herb and not a fruit, but look how big this guy is!
longons, dragon fruit, passionfruit.
chocolate pudding fruit. aka black sapote.
plantain love
backyard guavas.
avocados, papayas, and marlowe's favorite: rambutans.
weekly load.
Did you know approximately 30 million Americans live in food deserts? Aka live in areas without easy access to quality fresh fruits and vegetables? That's crazy! I mean, even my friend Lauren who moved to Ohio was telling me she's lucky if she can find a variety of greens in her neighborhood supermarket. As someone who lives primarily off vegetables (and more and more fruits these days), I find that so difficult— difficult to understand and difficult to live in. Apprently, 50$ of Miamian's (you know, people from Miami) are unaware food deserts are a problem in the US—- and considering how many farmers markets we visit on our day trips to Miami, I can understand why they find it difficult to believe. But whether we see the problem in front of us, or believe it or not, the problem is right here in our own country.
Besides promoting more farms and supporting more local farmers in your area— what can you do to help? Well, Wholesome Wave is partnering with Naked Juice with another #DrinkGoodDoGood campaign. For every fruit and veggie self shared on social media (with the tag #DrinkGoodDoGood), Naked Juice will donate 10 pounds of produce to communities in need. Pretty nice, right? And easy! Last year when they did it, I went crazy and tagged like 15 fruit photos, haha! Fruit selfies for everyone! I hope you guys have a wonderful weekend—- get out and explore some forms or markets and take some fruit selfies, k? Happy friday!

In 2008, four sisters started Bambu Desserts & Drinks as a hobby. Today, the San Jose–born brand has established a major presence in the Bay Area, and has expanded to other states including Hawaii, Nevada, and Texas. Bambu's success can be traced to the quality of its treats, as well as its variety: the menu is packed with about 100 Asian-inspired desserts and beverages. Tapioca balls float in their milk teas, which range in flavor from lychee to coconut to jasmine, and their dessert drinks combine such intriguing ingredients as coconut, pandan jelly, longan, basil seed—which form the Bambu special. Various hot and cold coffee drinks, such as Vietnamese coffee, café mochas, and lattes, put a spring in guests' step—more convenient than filling your shoes with jumping beans. The staffers also concoct blended coffees and smoothies, which come in flavors including strawberry, coconut, papaya, and avocado.

Changes over time – First findings from the fifth European Working Conditions Survey (résumé)
Examining how working conditions have changed (or remained the same) can shed light on what progress is being made towards European policy goals. It can also indicate how drivers of change such as globalisation, technological development, more flexible forms of work organisation, the ageing of Europe's population, and the rise in the number of households with two earners have impacted on how people are working and being employed. These first findings from Eurofound's fifth European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS) present an initial overview of some key changes in working conditions over time.

text: Does anyone have recommendations for paying back a 401k loan if you resign from your company? Do you just take a hit, and pay the taxes on it? Or if not enough cash, borrow from home equity loan to pay it off before resigning? I have limited time to decide so please spare the comments about never borrowing from your 401k. I viewed it as a positive because the interest I was paying went right back into my 401k. In essence, I was borrowing from myself. Still learned a valuable lesson since I need to come up with cash quickly.

Pretty much. To me, it doesn't really matter who goes first and second. If Patrick and Hischier go first and second, the #3 pick probably costs something like Nyquist/Tatar + our 1st (assuming Nill would even be all that interested in Nyquist or Tatar in the first place), which I personally think is too much. If Patrick or Hischier is available at #3, Nill takes him. Or someone pays a king's ransom for the pick. So, no matter who's available at #3, we're not getting that pick. IMO.

Here's how I'm looking at it... The Preds have Rinne, Subban, Josi, Ekholm, Ellis. It'd be their D and G (very thin at F) versus the Pens' F and G (very thin at D). Also, the Preds would be the fresher team. All in all, probably a pretty even matchup.
I think Andersson or Kylington could do well enough in a sheltered role. Maybe, maybe not. Dennis Wideman, Michael Stone, and Deryk Engelland are all eligible for unrestricted free agency and I feel Green is better than each of them. Giordano, Hamilton, Brodie, Green could be one of the very best top fours in the league. Mind you, I'm not necessarily saying the Flames are the best hypothetical fit for Green. Eh, perhaps. He does seem to elevate his game in the AHL playoffs, but I'm not convinced he's going to become anything more than a bottom-six grinder at the NHL level.
Preds lead 2-0 after 20 mins. I'm torn. On the one hand, f*** the Ducks. On the other hand, the Ducks might be the tougher opponent for the Pens -- and the most important thing in all this is that the Pens do not repeat. Ah screw it. Go Preds!
http://www.spotrac.com/nhl/free-agents/2019/ufa/ "Erik Karlsson, Drew Doughty sign with Oilers; rest of league quits."
Agreed. I only said Nyquist/Tatar + our 2nd because I imagine that's about the absolute limit of what Holland would consider. Personally, I don't feel the third overall pick is worth one of our better players and the ninth overall pick. Nill himself has said there isn't necessarily any clear separation between the top ten players in this draft class not named Nolan Patrick or Nico Hischier: "We know there are lots of choices at three. It's not like the top five or six are set in stone. Everyone has talked about the top two and then after that there is probably a group of ten players," Nill said. "I think it is going to come down to team's personal preference. Are you looking for a big, strong centerman? Are you looking for a scoring winger? Are you looking for a power forward? There are lots of different options there." But, yeah, I'm thinking it's all moot anyway, as Nill is probably fishing for a studly young top-four defenseman and we don't have one of those.
If we're looking to trade up (probably not advisable), our old friend Jim Nill appears to be soft-shopping the #3 pick... Nill open to trading third overall pick in draft "I have talked to other teams already about possibly moving that pick, getting an established player back," Nill said during an interview on SiriusXM NHL Network. "It gives us lots of options." Granted, we hear this kind of talk every year and it rarely leads to anything. But, personally, I get the sense that Nill intends to load up and brute force the Stars back into the playoffs next season. We all know he isn't exactly gun-shy when it comes to impact trades. Could Tatar/Nyquist + 2nd get it done? (Probably not.) Would it be worth it? (Probably not.) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If we're looking to trade back and get an additional 1st, I think Green + Sheahan + [?] (Holmstrom/Bertuzzi?) could interest Calgary, Toronto, Edmonton, maybe others. The Flames could open next season with Mark Giordano, Dougie Hamilton, T.J. Brodie, Mike Green (born and raised in Calgary), Matt Bartkowski, Rasmus Andersson, Oliver Kylington. That's arguably a Cup-caliber D group, at least on paper. Having said all this...the landscape is going to change between now and the entry draft, so what's feasible now may not be feasible then and what's not feasible now may be feasible then.
Yep. McJesus saves! Taylor Hallelujah! The Devils are a liar!
I mean, sure. Taylor Hall hasn't carried a team into the playoffs. But, personally, I don't feel he should be judged based on that. It's arbitrary, it ignores the fact that the Oilers organization was Clown Shoes Central for the better part of the past decade, and it ignores the fact that the 2016-17 Devils were simply not a playoff team. (Honestly, I'm not convinced the Oilers have learned anything or become more competent in any really meaningful way. McDavid has singlehandedly saved that franchise, IMHO.)
So...yeah. Mike Sullivan.

"Say my name." "You're Pontus Aberg." "You're godda--wait, seriously? My name is Pontus Aberg?" "Yes. lol." "lol."
Dude, c'mon.
It's not clear to me how Orlov is "quite a lot better than Trouba in a number of meaningful ways." If you're basing this on the HERO charts, I'll again point out Orlov's low TOI% and I'll again point out that Orlov is a member of a very good Capitals team. These are important considerations. Neither Orlov nor Trouba fits my personal definition of moneypuck. It's more along the lines of Anthony DeAngelo, Jaccob Slavin -- relatively "unknown" players with good upside who probably wouldn't cost an arm and a leg to acquire and who have the potential to become high-value contributors (i.e. perform above their pay grade) for the next few years. Why are you so bent out of shape over people liking Trouba and not discussing Orlov? I mean, I'm not gonna judge you. I like ranting about Ken Holland and will look for any opportunity to do so. But I do feel like you've chosen a weird hill to die complain on. Orlov is not demonstrably superior to Trouba. Orlov is probably less well-known among hockey fans and is definitely less well-known among Red Wings fans. You're being obstinate. We need young, cost-controlled high-end defensemen with real top-pairing potential. Trouba fits the bill. Orlov also fits the bill, but he's two years older and four inches shorter and he shoots left and he's not from Michigan and there haven't been rumors that he's unhappy in Caps Land and there haven't been rumors that he'd love to be a Wing and he hasn't been linked to the Wings in any significant trade rumors. So, yeah, Wings fans are going to give Trouba more love. C'est la vie. Does it make more sense to trade for Trouba now (assuming the asking price is reasonable) or try to sign him several years from now (assuming he hits the open market)? I dunno. Adding Trouba now would, in theory, improve our blue line, which could, in theory, improve our team both in the here & now and moving forward, which could, in theory, accelerate our rebuild. Also, having him now gives us a shot at stretching his next contract (RFA) into his UFA years, which could be a win in the long run. Also, keep in mind: Mike Green is our best defenseman and next season might be his last as a Wing. "But some people in this community believe we should pay an astronomical price to acquire Trouba." And some people in this community believe we shouldn't. You might think you're the smartest guy in the room here, but that isn't necessarily the case.

It's not a regular occurrence that you discover you need a replacement Disc Brake Pads for your automobile. While it may not be difficult to buy replacement parts for Ford vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the highest quality are required to fix your automobile.
Your Ford Galaxie 500 disc brake pads are the result of decades of innovation and testing on race tracks before finally making their way to daily drivers. They deliver better stopping power and more reliable braking than the brake shoes they eventually replaced. You will find your vehicle's brake pads on either side of the rotor placed inside your caliper. When you depress your brake pedal hydraulic pressure is sent to the caliper, and it presses the disc brake pads onto the surface of the brake disc absorbing its energy. This thermal reaction slows your car or truck down, and eventually brings it to a stop.
Given all the hassles associated with performing maintenance on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make buying it easy.

In the court of Henry VIII, there are many secrets - and some people will kill to keep them hidden.
Susanna Dallet is the daughter of a Flemish painter and wife to a philandering husband, living in the court of Henry VIII. When her husband is murdered, Susanna is suddenly left with a household to provide for and nothing to her name. Her days of anonymity are over when Susanna finds that guild rules preventing women from working do not apply at the king's court, and she manages to secure a position as a miniature-portrait painter. Before long, she has not only made a name for herself, she is close to those who surround Princess Mary. But even in this lofty company, Susanna is not safe. An old manuscript that she has inherited turns out to hold the keys to an age-old mystery, and the forces that claimed her husband are closing in. As danger looms, Susanna joins with Robert Ashton, secretary to Henry's cunning and ruthless adviser Archbishop Wolsey, and together they must fight a fearsome society in league with a demon.
Combining heartpounding action, sly humor, romance, and supernatural twists, The Serpent Garden is the story of a creative and resourceful woman who unwittingly finds herself in a dangerous - and deadly - game of hide-and-seek.

Delicious reading

I think there's a good story in there someplace but I couldn't get past the narrator's too high and irritating voice. Plus, after several starts and stops, I just couldn't get "engaged" in this story. I still don't know what it is about. After about 3 hours, I just threw in the towel. The glowing reviews for this book come from READERS, not LISTENERS, which is misleading since I am an Audible customer.
A much better narrator. While Alison Larkin is not a totally crappy, she just wasn't right for this book.
Yes, I think it was a "perfect storm" of issues which brought the whole work down.
This book is barely BOOK material - I cannot see it being made into a feature film, unless it was a Netflix movie or straight-to-DVD one.
I was the first Audible.com listener to review this book. I bought it based on the reviews but noticed too late that they were all from Amazon.com buyers. I find this very unfair to listeners of books. Narration, production and various other features are critical in an audiobook but are not important in the print version. I don't like the way Audible merges the different web site reviews when they are so very different. It is almost like "bait & switch" if one doesn't pay attention. I gave this book several chances to "come alive" but it only fell flat. REFUND!

Slide 2 OBJECT PERSISTENCE FORMATS Slide 3 Files Sequential Access Data stored in order based on a particular attribute Typically efficient for reports using all or most of the file's data Random Access Data stored in unordered fashion Typically efficient for finding individual records Slide 4 Other files Master files Transaction files Audit History Look-up Slide 5 Customer Order File Figure 13-1 Goes Here Slide 6 Relational Databases Primary key Foreign key Referential integrity Structured Query Language (SQL) Tables Joining tables Objects must be converted so they can be stored in a table Slide 7 Object-Relational Databases Relational databases extended to handle the storage of objects Use of user-defined data types Extended SQL Inheritance tends to be language dependent Slide 8 Relational Database Example Figure 13-3 Goes Here Slide 9 Object-Oriented Databases Two approaches Adding persistence extensions to OO languages Separate database management systems Extents Object ID assigned Some inheritance Repeating groups or multivalued attributes Mainly support multimedia applications Sharp learning curve Slide 10 Selecting an Object Persistence Format Slide 11 Your Turn A major university graduates about 10,000 students a year and the development office wants to build a web-based system to solicit and track donations. What are the pros and cons of each data storage format for this sort of application? Slide 12 MAPPING PROBLEM DOMAIN OBJECTS TO OBJECT PERSISTENCE FORMATS Slide 13 Initial Points to Consider Adding primary and foreign keys Unless they add too much overhead Data management functionality only in classes at data management layer May add overhead, but aids in portability and reuse Slide 14 Appointment System Problem Domain and Data Management Layers Slide 15 Factoring Out Multiple Inheritance Effect Slide 16 Mapping Problem Domain Objects to ORDBMS Schema -- Rules Slide 17 Mapping Problem Domain Objects to ORDBMS Schema -- Example Slide 18 Maintain a Clean Problem Domain Layer Modifying the problem domain layer can create problems between the system architecture and human computer interface layer The development and production costs of OODBMS may offset the production cost of having the data management layer implemented in ORDBMS Slide 19 Mapping Problem Domain Objects to RDBMS Schema -- Rules Slide 20 OPTIMIZING RDBMS-BASED OBJECT STORAGE Slide 21 Dimensions of Data Storage Optimization Storage efficiency (minimizing storage space) Speed of access (minimizing time to retrieve desired information) Slide 22 Optimizing Storage Efficiency Reduce redundant data Limit null values Multiple possible interpretations can lead to mistakes A well-formed logical data model does not contain redundancy or many null values Slide 23 The Steps of Normalization Slide 24 First Normal Form (1NF) Slide 25 Second Normal Form (2NF) Slide 26 Third Normal Form (3NF) Slide 27 Optimizing Access Speed Denormalization Clustering Intra-file Inter-file Indexing Slide 28 Payment Type Index Slide 29 Guidelines for Creating Indexes Use indexes sparingly for transaction systems Use many indexes to increase response times in decision support systems For each table Create a unique index based on the primary key Create an index based on the foreign key Create an index for fields used frequently for grouping, sorting, or criteria Slide 30 Estimating Data Storage Size Field Average Size (Characters) Order number Date Cust ID Last name First name State Amount Tax rate Record Size Overhead (30%) Total Record Size 8 7 4 13 9 2 4 2 49 14.7 63.7 Initial Table Size Initial Table Volume Growth/Month Table volume @ 3 years 50,000 3,185,000 1,000 5,478,200 Slide 31 Summary There are four basic types of object persistence formats: files (sequential and random access), object-oriented databases, object-relational databases, and relational databases. Tradeoffs between the formats make it necessary to consider which to apply in each environment Once the format has been selected, data storage needs to be optimized for efficiency and speed of access.

Hello there,
Does anyone know anyone, or have any suggestions, about how I can get a midwife? I am in NYC but would happily travel for all the appointments (except the birth). I'm due in August and have already contacted every single one of the midwives listed on the nychomebirth.com website. I am still waiting to hear back from a couple of them, but almost all have responded with a "no" because they are with either away on vacation or overbooked for that time.
I have 2 children, both were "natural" births in a hospital, i am low-risk and absolutely set on birthing at home this time. I would have contacted midwives sooner but was operating on bad information from my insurance company (surprise) that told me I had to set up the in-network exception before contacting midwives. I know now that's not true but I am hoping it's still not too late to find someone...
Thanks for anyone's advice, feel free to PM me if you are more comfortable with that.
Have you tried Marcy Tardio? I had a HB w/ her in August'08 in Brooklyn, I feel like she is often 'on' the months others take vacations. You prob. won't have to travel for appts. there are so many great HB midwives in NYC and the burroughs. Kristen I think will be back then as well, and there is Stacey Rees I just had a HB her last month and she's fabulous. I've also heard good things about Linda.
Thank you! I tried all of them, Kristin isn't back until Sept. 1, Stacey is away in August, Linda also booked, but hopefully Marcy will make room - she said she is pretty booked but she will meet with me so we'll see! I'm keeping fingers crossed. Thank you for your advice...

TripAdvisor Reviews Strawberry Valley Inn Mount Shasta
Travel Blogs from Mount Shasta
I had seen and heard about this waterfall. A perfect waterfall creeping down a wall of moss, little fingers creeping down to the water below.
To get there we had to technically trespass and walk along train tracks for a mile or two. i was semi fulfilling of childhood fantasy of walking along the tracks, hopping on a train and taking me somewhere, watching the world go by. Instead, we let the 100 or so ...
Exploring the mountain
We did hike Panther Meadows, a short loop trail through sparse forest, rocks from the 70s Avalanche, a meadow also created by the avalanche, and some streams from a spring somewhere. Very pleasant although rocky trails aren't my favorite. We found a good Jeep ride on a cross country ski trail. On our way back to ...

Several Native American tribes come here for spiritual renew, meditation and prayer. Mt. Shasta is an active volcano 14,000 ft in elevation. There is a second smaller peak, Shastina.

First time in California
Well we left Florence Oregon at 9:33 am on the 26th of August and arrived in Mt Shasta, California at 4:48. Lee drove 330 miles today and it seemed like a really long day. We were going to stop and camp and go down to the Redwood Forest but, the smoke was so bad we just kept on going. Lee drove about 150 miles more to get out of the ...
Hiking to Squaw Meadow on Mount Shasta
... blister which I accidentally ripped all the skin off of because I had put some duct tape on my ankles (bad idea).
But we ate at Panda Express on the way home and it was delicious!
We got back later than I wanted but the trip was a success, apart from my open wound blister which I am currently nursing. It is doing well thanks to the advice of my dermatologist.
Overall, the trip was a success. I look forward to returning to Squaw Meadow. I loved it there!

Phil Jones admits Manchester United must prioritise the Champions League because their hopes of a top-four finish are effectively over.
His United side are 12 points outside the Champions League places and realistically need to triumph in May's Final in Lisbon to continue their 19-year run in the competition.
Jones knows this, but says they must still work hard to finish the domestic campaign as well as they can.
When asked if United should focus on Europe, the England centre-half said: "I think we have to, but we also have to prove ourselves and show what we're capable of in the league as well.
"They're all big games and we have to go to West Ham and win on Saturday. That's our focus now."
Jones was heartened by United's comeback to beat Olympiakos on Wednesday and reach the Champions League quarter-finals and says they must kick on.
Too often this season, United have failed to build on a morale-boosting win at Old Trafford and Jones says they must not take any more backwards steps.
"We have to use this as a springboard to bounce on," he said. "We can't drag our heels and think about the next round.
"We have to prepare right for the next game, against West Ham, and go and get a result.
"It was a terrific night on Wednesday and nice to be on the winning side. We were long overdue a performance like that and we pulled it out of the bag when it was needed."

CNY/USD Fundamental Outlook at 1500 GMT (EST + 0500)
The yen depreciated vis-à-vis the U.S. dollar today as the greenback tested offers around the ¥94.05 level and was supported around the ¥93.25 level. As expected, Bank of Japan's Q1 Tankan survey of corporate sentiment improved q/q with the large manufacturers' index up to -14 from -24 in Q4 and the non-manufacturer's index higher at -14 from -22. Also, the large manufacturers' outlook improve to -8 from -21 in Q4 and Q1 all-industry capital expenditures improved to -0.4% from -10.8%. Today's improvement represented the Tankan's highest levels in eighteen months but they do not necessarily mean Japan's economy will evidence a marked improvement, especially as final private demand remains tepid and deflation remains a significant problem. There is market chatter that Bank of Japan will lift its assessment of the economy at the BoJ Policy Board meeting on 6-7 April, possibly on account of greater export activity. BoJ's 30 April Policy Board meeting will include its semi-annual economic projections and could be the meeting when Policy Board members adjust policy further following last month's additional easing steps. There will be an Upper House election in July and politicians will likely pressure the central bank to make policy easier far in advance of that election. The Nikkei 225 stock index gained 1.39% to close at ¥11,244.40. U.S. dollar offers are cited around the ¥94.75 level. The euro moved higher vis-à-vis the yen as the single currency tested offers around the ¥127.50 level and was supported around the ¥125.95 level. The British pound moved higher vis-à-vis the yen as sterling tested offers around the ¥143.60 level while the Swiss franc moved higher vis-à-vis the yen and tested offers around the ¥90.00 figure. In Chinese news, the U.S. dollar appreciated vis-à-vis the Chinese yuan as the greenback closed at CNY 6.8264 in the over-the-counter market, up from CNY 6.8259. Data released in China overnight saw March manufacturing PMI improve to 55.1 from 52.0 in February. People's Bank of China reported yesterday it will continue its moderately loose monetary policy.

On the whole, Nicole Kidman is a good cover star. Her one for Vogue Australia's May issue is still one of my favourites from her, so much so that I'm willing to put the monstrosity that was her V magazine cover to one side. That aside, she really did need to pull it out of the bag for her latest one and thankfully she did.
The actress appears on the November cover of US Harper's Bazaar glowing in a gold dress alongside cover lines that ironically say, 'Sexy & Age Appropriate' and 'The Daring Issue.' Even more ironic is the fact that the cover was shot by Terry Richardson. Considering how revealing her Mario Testino-shot V cover was, you would have thought that was more Richardson's bag but credit where credit's due, he's actually done a good job with it.
Are you a fan?

Among the worst atrocities committed by our side was OPERATION KEELHAUL. In 1947, Truman's watch, hundreds of thousands of Soviet POW were still being held in western Europe. In an effort to curry favor with Stalin and his cutthroats, a great many of these poor devils were forcibly repatriated to the USSR where they were imprisoned in Siberia or executed. Many of them committed suicide rather than go back to the USSR.
Part of the Yalta agreement was that nationals of the SU
would be repatriated regardless of their wishes.
The result was that the various formations such as Cossacks,
Latvians, Russians were returned to Soviet custody. Otherwize Allied POW in Soviet hands might have been held.
Even Sweden gave up refugees to the SU, I believe it was
Estonian SS who made it across the Baltic. Forced to board Soviet vessels and sent back to Mother Russia.
The lives lost in these repatriations pale in comparison to the numbers killed during the flight of Germans from East Prussia and Silesia and the Czech lands.
My dad was German and the U.S. wouldn't allow him in the service during WWII, so he took a job at the Seaman's YMCA in NYC. Right after the war he said the seamen were telling him about "Russians jumping off the ship or slitting their wrists." and how Russia must really be so bad that people did this.
It wasn't until years later I read how Stalin gulled the U.S. into repatriating all Russians "who belonged back in the Motherland". He wanted revenge on those who were captured, since many were fighting in German regiments.** Others were "contaminated" by being exposed to Western Ideas and needed to be exterminated.
**[excerpt from long article]:
Deprived of their fatherland, scorned by their protectors, regarded generally as traitors, although in their consciences they were not traitors, they fought often for an alien and hateful cause; the only reward which they eventually received for their pains was toil and death, mostly in a foreign land, or "repatriation" to the hell from which they had tried to escape."

BeschreibungFor countless readers, the books of Bell Irvin Wiley (1906-1980) remain a high-water mark in historical writing on the American Civil War. The Life of Billy Yank, The Life of Johnny Reb, The Road to Appomattox, Southern Negroes, 1861-1865, all are classics in the field, and Wiley's influence on contemporary Civil War scholarship has been immeasurable. The Bell Irvin Wiley Reader offers for the first time many lesser known and unpublished writings of this eminent historian and provides an intimate portrait of the man Life magazine once hailed as "the nation's foremost authority of soldier life during the Civil War".Culled from a trove of 176 boxes of Wiley's personal papers at the Emory University archives, the selections in this collection present a broad cross-section of his work, both oral and written, and focus on the professor's favorite subjects. Among the documents are speeches and articles, such as "The Road to War", "Lincoln, Plain Man of the People", "Life on the Confederate Homefront", "The Collapse of the Confederacy", "American History and Racial Understanding", "Historians and the National Register", and "Why Teach the Civil War?" Also included are class lecture notes, one of Wiley's infamous final exams, and an oral history interview with the historian.Each piece reveals Wiley's immense talent as a historian, communicator, and educator as well as his continuing power to enlighten and inspire readers and students alike. Buttressed with an excellent introduction by editors Hill Jordan and J. H. Segars and with biographical notations and section introductions by James I. Robertson, Jr. -- one of Wiley's best students -- this anthology shows Wiley to be an enigma: adistinguished scholar who enjoyed the company of ordinary people; a staunch advocate for civil rights who would not agree to ease university admission standards for blacks; a master teacher who declined departmental chairmanships. He was, indeed, the uncommon "common man" of wh

Although Hilton Head, South Carolina, is only 12 miles long, it includes everything needed for a wonderful getaway. The island retreat is one of the most family-friendly destinations in the country and is filled with a calm beach environment exactly the opposite of bustling city life. It lies in the southern part of South Carolina, just 20 miles north of Savannah, Georgia. After a visit, visitors will see why it is consistently rated as one of the top beach resorts in the world.
Hilton Head is home to 12 miles of pristine white sandy beaches. Some of the most popular include Burkes Beach, Folly Beach and Forest Beach. Each beach is open to the public and provides the opportunity to play in the ocean, build sand castles, and admire the beautiful surroundings. If you are feeling adventurous, try parasailing for an overhead view.
Hilton Head is famous for its world-renowned golf courses. It is ranked one of Golf Digest's best golf resort picks. Numerous championship courses have been designed by famous names in the sport like Jack Nicklaus. No matter which course you select, you're sure to have an unforgettable round.
Hilton Head has a rich and varied history. To uncover its roots from the Revolutionary War, visit the Zion Chapel of Ease Cemetery. Explore the grounds to learn about the hardships faced by patriot families.
Another great place to visit is the Sea Pines Shell Ring in the Forest Preserve. A Native American structure built more than 4,000 years ago, this historical site contains piles of shells made from oysters, clams and mussels, and provides insight into some of the first settlers in the area. It is a curious, awe-inspiring cultural marvel.
Some of the best shopping exists in Hilton Head. It offers a unique blend of boutiques and nationally recognized chains. One-of-a-kind art and jewelry is available in scattered marine shops and plaza centers. The stores in the Coligny Plaza offer great local goods. Visit one of the dessert shops for a decadent sweet treat. For conventional shopping, Tanger Outlets lie over the bridge in Bluffton.
Guests will have a wide variety of food options to sample on Hilton Head Island. Besides common fast food, there are a number of family-friendly and upscale restaurants available. Hilton Head has wonderful seafood, and Alexander's Seafood Restaurant has been an island tradition for over three decades. Select from over 100 wines to go along with the freshest seafood and steaks in the area. For a more relaxed atmosphere, head to one of the Carolina barbecue restaurants.
There are two dozen Hilton Head hotels and resorts in town. For extreme luxury, consider the Inn at Harbour Town, an elegant boutique hotel next to the lighthouse and marina. Major amenities include a PGA golf course, tennis facilities and top restaurants. Thanks to budget hotels, staying at Hilton Head does not need to cost a fortune. For instance, the Red Roof Inn offers clean accommodations at half the price of most beachside venues.
Since golf plays an important part of leisure time at Hilton Head, the MCI Classic Tournament is held at the Heritage of Golf at Harbor Town Golf Links. It attracts the biggest names in the PGA. In the fall, check out the Hilton Head Oyster Festival. This three-day event provides food, live entertainment and crafts. In the spring, visitors look forward to the Wine & Food Festival, where guests participate in six days of tastings, lectures and various competitions.
Summer is by far the most popular time to visit Hilton Head, especially for beach lovers. Temperatures approach the 90s daily. However, spring and fall bring more comfortable weather, with low humidity, becoming the perfect time for golfers to enjoy a few rounds. Hotel prices are also lower, and the area is less crowded. Since temperatures remain in the 60s during winter, it may be a great time for a short getaway from the cold northern weather.

It has come to light that the new mass participation Yokohama Marathon held for the first time last month in Yokohama did not receive certification from the JAAF because its course did not cover the complete full marathon distance. Held on March 15th, the first running of the Yokohama Marathon featured 23,000 runners making it the third-largest in the country behind Tokyo and Osaka. The scenic course passed many of Yokohama's most famous landmarks such as Chinatown and Yamashita Park, but it has become apparent that its length was less than the full marathon's standard 42.195 km.
According to the organizing committee, on the day of the race they received notification from the JAAF that the official course measurement they had requested indicated that the course was shorter than the full marathon distance by at least several tens of meters, and that the event would be denied certification as a result. The organizers said the problem arose because they could not divert traffic on the Metropolitan Highway section of the course prior to race day, meaning that that part of the course could not be measured exactly in advance. An organizing committee spokesperson commented, "We had calculated the distance of the Metropolitan Highway section from maps, but this turned out to be insufficient. We will make the necessary adjustments to the course in time for next year."

So I'm still to have completed my first marathon? Bugger. And I was so proud of my sub four hour time.

Hey, this is Japan. Things like this are not supposed to happen. (Outside of the nuclear industry.)

I don't understand why they are so adamant about including the highway section. That whole section is tilted, harsh on the legs, and blocked off to spectators. I am hoping they will eliminate that section and use regular roads in the future.
