I found this recently while running some Jepsen tests. I found that some threads get stuck on zk operations for a long time in ZkController.updateLeaderInitiatedRecoveryState method and when they wake up they go ahead with setting the LIR state to down. But in the mean time, new leader has been elected and sometimes you'd get into a state where the leader itself is put into recovery causing the shard to reject all writes.

I ran into a similar issue in SOLR-7065 with the new test I have there.
It's still exploratory, so I just took that DOWN publish out for the time being.
Here's a patch which uses ZooKeeper 'multi' transactions to make sure that the LIR state can be set only when the requesting leader node is still alive. This ensures that regardless of how long the network partition lasts (long GC, whatever), the node setting the LIR state must be the leader or else the LIR state cannot be set.
Initially I attempted to use the shard leader path as the 'exists' check in the 'multi' command but this doesn't work because the leader path is always created fresh which means that it's version is always 0 and the check always succeeds regardless of who the current leader is. This is why we must use the election's leader sequence path.
This is just a first cut of this approach. I intend to refactor some of these LIR methods – they have become too big. I will also write a test which exercises these new transactional semantics and reproduces the failure.
Edit - I also remove the replicaUrl parameter from ZkController.ensureReplicaInLeaderInitiatedRecovery because replicaProps were already being passed as a parameter and the replica url can be derived from it.
Patch updated to trunk.
I've been testing with Jepsen on trunk with this patch and it has worked very well. Unfortunately, writing a junit test to simulate this failure is proving to be very difficult. I'm inclined to commit this as-is for now so a code review would be appreciated.
Also note that this patch doesn't solve the problem of the threads being stuck but it only ensures that the LIR state is written only if the ephemeral sequential election node of the current leader exists.
Looks good Shalin. There's one thing that I'd like to point:
You've changed the signature of Zkcontroller.ensureReplicaInLeaderInitiatedRecovery(), which is a public method. Though it's advanced and internal, it's a public method and might break back-compat for developers.
You've changed the signature of Zkcontroller.ensureReplicaInLeaderInitiatedRecovery(), which is a public method. Though it's advanced and internal,
Thats' fine, we should be able to freely change stuff like that.
Ram, was your +1 echoing Anshum's concern?
I think we need to open an issue to start using annotations for what API's you can count on in Java. We can start labeling most of them internal and open them based on demand, maturity, sensibility, but a plugin writer should have an idea of what API's they can count on and still get support for things like rolling upgrades. Perhaps that just most of the basic SolrCore methods and ZKStateReader methods, but it should be something over time. Eventually it would be nice if basic plugins could survive rolling upgrades if they use some common simple API's.
Given where things are currently though, these particular types of internal methods - especially those on ZkController, are still under considerable flux.
Ram, was your +1 echoing Anshum's concern?
Sorry, no, it was a +1 overall for the patch.
I agree with you that we should be able to freely change this stuff. As Mark mentions we need to decide on what is considered as API. Personally I feel we should guarantee only the methods and classes used for anything pluggable and in SolrJ (even in SolrJ we should perhaps mark a few things internal). I know people depend on other things, but we shouldn't be burdened with back compact on those.

I recently moved from England to the small island of Ukerewe in the Tanzanian half of Lake Victoria, a hazardous four-hour ferry ride from the nearest large town, the nearest adequate health center, and the nearest place where anyone has heard of cheese.
One can be forgiven for not knowing much about Ukerewe and its watery environs. It took the cream of the West's explorers two thousand years to stumble upon Lake Victoria—Africa's largest lake and the world's second largest—and a little longer to identify it as the main source of the Nile. Having done so, however, John Speke, Henry Stanley and the rest of Europe and America decided that finding it was enough, that there was no strong reason to hang around. Although it lies only a few kilometers from the fabled grasslands of the Serengeti, the lake sees only a trickle of overseas visitors, few of whom loiter for more than a day or two. Today, my wife Ebru and I are the only westerners on its largest island, and possibly the only ones to have lived here in the past half-century.
Foreigners on Ukerewe, a thirty-mile long green strip ringed by sandy beaches and strewn with piles of ancient boulders, have historically met with mixed fates. In 1858 an Arab slaver warned Speke about the dangers posed by its unfriendly people (the irony of slavers warning about unfriendliness was presumably lost on both men). In the early twentieth century German missionaries were driven off the island and their mission burned to the ground in the battle to rid Tanzania of its first European colonizers. A few decades later, as the struggle to repulse a second colonial wave intensified, activists from the Tanganyika African Association chased away Indian traders who were thought to be defrauding the island's cotton farmers, with the tacit blessing of their British overlords.
Ukerewe has also served as a refuge.
At the same time, Ukerewe has also served as a refuge. Its long and hard-to-police shoreline has provided shelter to smugglers and outlaws fleeing Uganda and Kenya, and the recent establishment of an immigration office attests to its continuing role as a staging-post for job-seeking migrants from central Africa who cannot enter mineral-rich Tanzania via legal channels.
Today's visitors are not guaranteed a warm welcome. Public sector workers regard the island as a punishment posting (continuing the tradition whereby miscreants from around the shore of Lake Victoria were banished here to serve out their days in exile). Many immigrants from the mainland leave at the earliest opportunity, complaining that the Kikerewe people (who make up the bulk of the island's 300,000 population) are hostile to strangers and snobbish towards other tribes. Others are repelled by Ukerewe's remoteness, its lack of cultivable farmland (most Tanzanians grow their own food, but population growth and deforestation in Ukerewe have left little fertile soil for outsiders), and the absence of anything much to do.
Again, however, there is a Jekyll to the island's Hyde. Fishermen come here from across east and central Africa to plunder the rich waters of the lake. Some stay all year. Others set up seasonal fishing camps. Many have grown wealthy and built smart homes on the mainland. Sex workers follow the fishermen, and make a steady living succoring them in their loneliness. People with albinism, persecuted elsewhere in Africa and sometimes killed or maimed so that their body parts can be used in witchcraft, find in Ukerewe a less dangerous, more accepting home.
We are repeatedly reminded of our status as outsiders
In our three months here so far (we plan to stay for a year or two), Ebru and I have seen both sides of the island's character. On the ferry ride over, the other passengers sitting with us on the hot metal floor of the deck stared at us intensely, peppering their conversations with suspicious comments. "Why are they coming?" they asked one another in Kiswahili. "They must want something from us. They see some potential here. They never come for nothing." (We came because Ebru was offered a teaching job here – she drew that straw in a project covering thirty schools across Tanzania – and because it seemed a good opportunity to get to know rural Africa.) The atmosphere thawed only towards the end of the journey when we asked them to teach us a few words of Kikerewe. Suspicion turned to surprise that we spoke some Kiswahili and were interested in their own little-known tongue.

Review: ViniYoga dvd for Low Back, Sacrum and Hips
Monday, November 04, 2013
Since I have soooo much to do today, but I decided to put my health first.
I've been waiting for these dvds to arrive and am soooo excited!
ViniYogaTherapy for Low Back, Sacrum and Hips with
Gary Kraftsow, Founder, American Viniyoga Institute.
From the top menu, there are 4 chapters:
** Understanding Back pain by Gary Kraftsow:
This feature is a 22 minute lecture addressing these topics:
Understanding Back Pain
Types of Pain
Causes of Pain
Understanding Biomechanics
Specific Goals for Yoga Therapy
** Special Features
(too many to list including the practices on MP3)
** Technique Workshop
An 11 minute lecture on the Principles of Yoga
with detailed explanations of each of posture
(31 minutes, or by individual posture)
** Therapeutic Practices
Guidelines for Practice (4 minutes)
- Practice 1: Low Back Therapy (23 minutes)
A focused practice to rehabilitate and strengthen the low back and sacrum.
- Practice 2: Hip Therapy (31 Minutes)
A focused practice to stretch, align and balance the hips.
- Practice 3: Strength and Stability (32 min)
A stronger practice or sustained low back, sacrum and hip health.
- Therapeutic Review Explained.
(This helpful feature is available at the beginning of each posture
and links back to detailed explanation for each individual posture.)
Today I did the first practice for the low back, sacrum and hips.
These are unlike any yoga class I've ever attended.
They are not fast paced or high intensity.
They are therapeutic with great instructions on how to
execute each posture properly - which I REALLY like
because I've done it wrong and hurt myself too often!
One practice builds and prepares for the next.
I started out with the explanation lecture and thought it
was excellent and learned a whole lot from the visuals.
In it Gary Kraftsow explains that this is something basic
that will benefit as much as brushing and flossing our teeth
on a daily basis.
And I believe it.
These dvds are available on a number of places.
I bought the set of 2 (upper back & lower back) from Amazon
for considerably less plus free shipping available.
Although not (yet) partnered with SparkPeople, I have suggested it
and hope eventually it will happen as, IMHO, it would be a great benefit
for those of us with aches and pains, stiffness, limited mobility, etc.
to help us get moving again without the setbacks associated with
'normal' routine yoga or exercise programs.
If you have any questions that I can answer, I'll do my best.
Looking forward to doing the Upper Back, Neck & Shoulders dvd tomorrow.

Sometimes I get so mad
at SP! When I subscribe to get an e-mail every time one of my Spark Friends does a Blog entry I cannot figure out why there are problems with them falling off my grid! I used to think it was because I didn't add a comment. Now I always add a supportive comment to every one of my friend's Blogs and it STILL happens!
Sorry, Cathy, that I haven't been around for you
I knew there was a problem when I started to wonder why you had been so quiet so I came looking for you. Wha-la I was right. It wasn't you. It was this SP program - again.
You know I love Yoga! Sometimes I go to a Yoga class where we hold the position for 5-8 minutes in order for the muscles to release. Is this DVD like that?
I know that Yoga is all about "opening" the joints (what ever that means"), stretching the muscles, and breathing, but my hip range of motion is so limited right now that I'm really having problems with some of the positions.

Le crunch
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Interesting song. Nice melody, instruments sound nice. Unfortunatelly, the bass is killing all the pleasure from listening to this song. It's way to loud for me.
Thanks for your critic!
I can understand your opinion, people often notice this, i love loud bass and i put everywhere..
Measure the Clouds
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Nice song. Like that melodic guitars very much. They are very good additions to nice rythmic guitar. I really like those stereo effects, feel especially nice when listening on headphones. Sound is clear and doesn't hurt ears. Can listen for hours without headache. But I think bass is a little too exposedagainst other instruments, don't you think? All in all, very good song. Keep up the good work!

Kevin Systrom, founder of Instagram, once said, "Great products sell themselves." He dedicates a lot of his success to just creating a product people love. He is now worth $400 million.
Systrom is living proof of why you should put your heart, soul, blood, sweat and tears into creating the best products possible for your customers.
You don't have to be the best marketer or salesperson to get thousands of satisfied, loyal customers. If you create a truly remarkable product and tell people about it, word will spread like wildfire.
Do what Kevin Systrom did and create something different. Create something unique and high-quality.
Try these strategies when creating your own products for your business:

Make a great product. Like Kevin Systrom said, "Great products sell themselves." If you are great at selling and put out a poor product, bad reviews and complaints will kill your business.
But, if you put out a high quality product, you will build a great reputation, word will spread and you will see quite a nice payoff come your way. All you have to do is help people and give them something good.
Ask yourself, would you buy what you're selling? If not, rethink what you're doing.

This is a sponsored conversation on behalf of SunTrust Bank. All opinions are mine.
A bucket list. This is a fairly new term to me but the idea is age-old. A list of all the things we want to do, see, and experience in our lifetime. Some are simple. Some are adventurous. Some are about us and our families. And some are about others.
My husband and I have chatted about what we want to accomplish as a family:
- Take our kids to all fifty states.
- Spend a year traveling around the world and homeschooling along the way.
- Travel to locations that will expose our family to different cultures and especially places that will cultivate a desire to serve the poor and to pursue justice for the oppressed.
One bucket list item we are actively working towards is taking our three older children to Rwanda this upcoming June to visit the children we sponsor through Africa New Life. This will be a significant undertaking as traveling to Africa is spendy but it's incredibly important to us so we are in the process of realigning our financial life to make this happen.
Here are 5 tips we have identified to help us achieve our financial bucket list:
1. Start dreaming. I've found that having a handful of concrete dreams that are articulated on paper help with the long process of saving. It is exciting for our family to have dreams that directly benefit us (like vacations, toys, experiences) and benefit others (gifts, giving opportunities, service trips).
2. Make a budget. There's absolutely NO way to be able to set aside money if you don't know where it's coming from. My husband and I have been living on a monthly budget since 2006 and it has absolutely transformed the way we handle our money. It's also the only way we were able to know how much money we could responsibly set aside for the items on our bucket list.
SunTrust Bank has a nifty Plug-and-Play Budget Spreadsheet here to get you started!
3. Trim the categories you can. Once you know how much money you have and where it's going, you can start to decrease some expenditures and reroute it to your bucket list items. How can you lower your expenses to free up money? Here are some ideas:
- Shop your car insurance policy for lower rates.
- Take advantage of loss leader sales at the grocery store.
- Eat one meatless dinner a week.
- Buy second-hand clothing.
- Ditch cable TV and watch network television with an antenna and cable shows through a streaming service.
Take your savings and start stashing it away to pay for your bucket list items.
4. Increase your income. The reality is that for many of us, our regular family income is tight and already called for. If you're in this position, look for additional ways to make extra money, especially if you have one adult working less than full time. Offer date night babysitting for friends, clean a house every week, or do simple lawn maintenance for neighbors. There are tons of ways to make $100-$300 a month in extra income with just a few hours of side work a week!
5. Keep the savings in a separate account. This is a big one. You absolutely must put your bucket list cash in a different location than where your family's regular money lives. If not, you will certainly spend it on groceries or a cute outfit. We have a special savings account attached to our family's bank account that is labeled our "Sinking Savings" account. We transfer all the money that we have earmarked for specific purposes so it doesn't get caught up in our family's checking account.
At SunTrust Bank their purpose is lighting the way to financial well being. They help you get organized, make a plan, and stay on track so you can get and stay in control of your finances. When you are confident about your money, you can save for your goals and splurge knowingly on what matters most to you.

Grab the earplugs and binoculars on your way out to Athens-Ben Epps Airport on Saturday because it's time for Athens Airshow 2000.
''It gets really, really loud,'' says Sandy Green of the Airshow Committee, highlighting the usefulness of earplugs. ''Some of those planes are really noisy.''
There's also the roaring jet-powered Hawaiian fire truck making a return visit to the air show to race a plane. Here's where the binoculars come in handy, too, because the fire truck stays a safe distance from the crowd.
''He was so popular last year,'' Green says of fire truck driver Tom Seydel. ''As soon as that engine started, the crowd ran over to see what was going on. And he travels about 350 miles per hour for the crowd. He set a Guinness world record traveling over 400 miles per hour.''
Athens Airshow 2000
Where: Athens-Ben Epps Airport, Ben Epps Road off Winterville Road
When: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, April 15
Cost: $10; free for children younger than 6
Call: (706) 613-3420 or www.athensairport.net
Flames shoot 20 feet behind the truck while it's racing, and it needs a parachute to stop.
''That was truly the crowd favorite last year, I'll tell you,'' says airport director Tim Beggerly. ''It's amazing to see that thing flaming down the runway. I would not want to sit in that thing when it goes that fast. The fire truck is sitting still when the plane it races goes past at 170 miles per hour. The truck has a mile to catch up and pass it and you think, 'Oh, that'll never happen,' but I was wrong, and he does.''
The fire truck is just one of the many attractions at this year's air show, which has taken on an international flair with French and Russian aerobatic pilots, an Italian plane and a Vietnam AirCav day re-enactment.
Daniel Heligoin and his wife, Montaine Mallet, both from France, pilot their two French CAP 10Bs as close as 3 feet apart during their precision maneuvers, which includes double snap rolls.
Russian pilot and aerobatic trainer Nickolay Timofeev, will fly his Russian Sukoi. He has won numerous world competitions for his performances.
The Italian Siai Marchetti SF260 is flown by Atlanta resident John Berry. He'll perform 2,000-foot loops and thousand-foot barrel rolls as the aircraft whistles in flight.
The French Connection is the only husband and wife formation aerobatics team in the world. They'll be performing at the Athens Airshow 2000 on Saturday.Special
The really noisy part will be when the Army Aviation Heritage Foundation presents its Vietnam AirCav re-enactment with scout helicopters, Bird Dog aircraft with artillery fire, Cobra helicopter gunship and Caribou combat transport, the largest aircraft ever flown by the Army.
The re-enactment includes an observation mission, assault landing and fire support coverage which utilizes pyrotechnics effects for a booming display of U.S. military power during the Vietnam War.
''This Vietnam re-enactment will really make you think about what it was like over there during the war when helicopters and guns were coming in,'' Beggerly says.
In addition to the international contribution, locals Pat Epps, the son of Ben Epps, and Robert Armstrong also will perform aerobatic feats.
Flying his CAP 231, Armstrong will display some of the skills that earned him his 1999 U.S. National Aerobatic Championship title in Denison, Texas.
''I think it's great that we have the current No. 1 aerobatic pilot in the United States at our air show,'' Beggerly said.
Armstrong will compete for the world championship in Toulouse, France, in August.
''It's always great to fly for my hometown,'' Armstrong says. ''I enjoy seeing all the people I've known for such a long time out in the crowd.''
Robert Armstrong of Athens recently won the U.S. National Aerobatic Championship. Here he is in the CAP 231 that he will fly in the Athens Airshow 2000.Special
Other performers include the U.S. Army Green Beret skydivers; Randy Henderson and his Texas T-Cart doing a 360-degree flat turn and one-wheeled landing; Roger Simpson and his French Fouga jet, and Fowler Carey with the classic restored T-33 ''Thunderbird'' jet fighter.
The performance part of the air show runs from 1-4 p.m, but gates are open from 10 a.m.- 5 p.m. to give visitors a chance to take advantage of helicopter and biplane rides (an extra cost) and check out the flight simulators and many aircraft which will be on display.
''We'll have a P-3 Navy airplane, which is a big plane used to hunt submarines, and a C-130 which is used to go into the eyes of hurricanes,'' Beggerly says. ''People will be able to get up inside these planes and ask questions of the crew. It's a real education.''
More than 20 aircraft will be on display. Also on exhibit will be a classic car show, Harley-Davidson motorcycles and Athens-Clarke County Fire and Rescue trucks.
A moon walk and rock-climbing walls also will be on hand for an extra cost along with concessions and souvenirs.
Athens Airshow Inc. donates profits from the event to Extra Special People Inc, a seven-week summer day camp for youth and young adults with special needs. More than $20,000 has been donated in the last two years.
''The support is so wonderful and there's such a reward by making the community aware of the program,'' says director Martha Wyllie, who provides upwards of 100 volunteers for the Airshow. ''There is always such a yummy crowd at the air show.''
Beggerly and Green said the air show is an excellent event for the whole family to attend.
''It's all about promoting the Athens Airport to let people know what's offered there, it's fun for the community and a benefit to a local charity,'' Green says. ''No matter what age, you'll find something to look at or eat. It'll keep the kids busy. There's something going on all the time.

Today is World Animal Day, a day to remember all the animals in our world; those we call our friends as well as those who have fallen victim for our use in any form.
In several different cities around Finland, Animalia's local groups organize events where people can light candles in memory of the four million animals that are killed for their fur here every year. Here in Helsinki the event will be held in Kaisaniemi park between 6 and 8 pm. If you have the possibility, feel free to join.
I will not be able to go to the event, but I have lit a candle here in my home in memory of all the animals that have suffered and died for our sake. They deserve at least that.
I hope that this could be a day when we reconsider our relationship towards animals, not just towards the animals we keep as pets, but towards the animals that spend their lives in captivity – for example on factory farms, fur farms, zoos and in laboratories – as well.

General Research Interests
- My lab studies the influence of sex on liver cancer vulnerability. Males develop the primary liver cancer hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) more than twice as often as females. Using molecular approaches and rodent models we are exploring the mechanistic basis for this in order to develop new therapies for prevention and treatment in men and women.
Selected Research Projects
- Role of Prolactin in Liver Cancer Prevention: The aim of this project is to show how the estrogen-sensitive pituitary hormone prolactin protects the liver from chronic injury and cancer by modulating the amplitude of innate immune signaling in hepatocytes.
- Epigenetic Basis of Male Liver Cancer Susceptibility. The aim of this project is to show how liver masculinization initiated by testosterone and effected through growth hormone creates an inherent state of vulnerability to cancer in males through STAT5B-dependent chromatin remodeling.
Research and Clinical Interests
- Liver Carcinogenesis
- Chronic GI and Liver Disease
- Comparative Pathology
- Diagnostic Anatomic Pathology
Research Interests by Organ System and Disease
Oncology and Cancer Research and Clinical Trials

Seuls Trailer (1990)
01 January 1990 12 mins
Mental anguish is all that's present in the film Seuls / Alone (1989). Shot like a grungy medical documentary, Smolders and co-director Thierry Knauff intercut shots of several children at a Belgium psychiatric clinic. The kids are shown with forlorn expressions, twicthing their eyes, sometimes smiling, shaking, jumping, rocking their heads side to side, or smacking their heads with horrific glee against walls. It's a minimalist work that captures the intense monotony of lost and disturbed young minds, and maintains a gritty intensity. - kqek.com

Bircham Dyson Bell (BDB), SJ Berwin and White & Case all landed roles as British Land secured the first two pre-lets on its 10 Portman Square development.
Saudi Arabian oil firm Saudi Aramco affiliate Aramco Overseas Company UK has agreed to take 24,392 sq ft of office space in the fourth and fifth floors of the building, while investment manager Aspect Capital has taken 24,520 sq ft on the top two floors of the seven-floor building.
According to reports, the average rent in the building is £90.76 per sq ft. It is around 57 per cent pre-let, with development expected to be completed in April 2013.
SJ Berwin advised long-time client British Land on the deal, with real estate partner Matthew Priday leading.
BDB real estate partner David Darvill advised Aspect Capital and White & Case advised Saudi Aramco, with commercial real estate partner David Cox leading.
Background to this deal:
Priday is one of around five or six British Land relationship partners at SJ Berwin. The firm divides client roles along geography – such as the West End and the City – and between retail and offices. Priday mostly acts on British Land's West End developments, which include buildings in Marble Arch and Regents Park.
SJ Berwin has a historical relationship with British Land and used to do the bulk of the company's legal work. Former partners Jonathan Metliss and Michael Metliss, who left for Davenport Lyons and Berwin Leighton Paisner in 2008 and 2010 respectively, were sons of former British Land board member Cyril Metliss.
More recently, British Land appears to have been spreading its mandates around. Mayer Brown acted for the property group on its £130m acquisition of a Mayfair estate in July (30 July 2012).
Likewise, Saudi Aramco is a key client of White & Case, with the relationship dating back decades.

TV Trivia: The Honeymooners
Q1. What did Ralph Kramden (Jackie Gleason) usually call his best friend on The Honeymooners television show?
Q2. Which main character on the show was played by a different thespian in "Honeymooner" sketches airing on The Jackie Gleason Show on the DuMont Television Network, before The Honeymooners premiered on CBS as it's own television show?
(The Honeymooners Cast Photo: CBS Television | Wikimedia Commons / Public Domain)
Surprisingly, the iconic 1/2 hour The Honeymooners comedy show – set in New York City – only ran for 1 season, the "Classic 39" episodes – from October 1955 to September 1956..although it still appears in re-runs. Regular series stars Jackie Gleason (bus driver Ralph Kramden), Audrey Meadows (Ralph's wife Alice Kramden), Art Carney (city sewer worker Edward Lillywhite "Ed" Norton), and Joyce Randolph (Ed's wife Trixie Norton) shone as regular working class couples.
Short-tempered and often frustrated Ralph Kramden was forever trying to get rich. Perhaps Ralph's most enduring phrase, "to the moon" was often said to his long-suffering wife Alice. These bickering couples inspired the popular Flintstones characters/animated television show (Fred & Wilma Flintstone; Barney & Betty Rubble).
All episodes of The Honeymooners were filmed live in front of a Manhattan studio audience of 1,000. The show started losing ground in 1956 to The Perry Como Show and Jackie Gleason/CBS mutually agreed to end it's run, although creator & producer Gleason periodically revived The Honeymooners characters as sketches within his own/revived television shows (The Jackie Gleason Show; Jackie Gleason and His American Scene Magazine); and periodic specials, until it was finally laid to rest in 1978.
The sole surviving cast member of The Honeymooners today, 90 year old senior Joyce Randolph attributes the secret to her longevity as "Do things that you love to do."
A1. Ralph Kramden usually bellowed "Norton!" at the top of his lungs.
A2. Actress Pert Kelton portrayed Alice Kramden in the first 7 episodes of The Honeymooners that aired on The Jackie Gleason Show. It has been surmised that Kelton was replaced when the show moved to CBS, because her husband was blacklisted at the time, negatively affecting her career.
Baby boomer Anita Hamilton lives in Hamilton, Ontario with her family and 3 mini-dachshund minions. She's a lifelong voracious reader who enjoys researching and has extensive experience in sales, marketing and copy writing. Senior City was inspired when she had difficulty finding local housing, products and services online for her elderly parents.

Badfish: A Tribute To Sublime
The phenomenon known as Sublime, arguably the most energetic, original and uniquely eclectic band to emerge from any scene, anywhere, ended with the untimely death of lead singer, guitarist and songwriter Brad Nowell in May of 1996. But encompassing the sense of place and purpose long associated with Sublime's music, Badfish, a Tribute to Sublime continues to channel the spirit of Sublime with a fury not felt for some time. What separates Badfish from other tribute bands is that they have replicated Sublime's essence, developing a scene and dedicated following most commonly reserved for label-driven, mainstream acts. Badfish make their mark on the audience by playing with the spirit of Sublime. They perform not as Sublime would have, or did, but as Badfish does.

I am Evolving as a man in this Ruthless yet Amazing world. Self Honor and Self Respect ." The two most deeply important things in life that most people never really have or know of in their lives. I have lots of respect and I have done many honorable things yet I feel that my life has a much bigger purpose. Even though I have it. Life isn't just about money. I have yet been able to find a compatible- real- women to take home to Mama. When i say "real women" that's exactly what i mean. It's mostly my fault though because for a time I was very shallow at heart for many reasons. For one, I was always afraid to open myself to anyone in fear that one day that loved one would be taken away by God and I would have to attend yet another funeral. I have attended 16 funerals in the last 11 years. As of now I can say that it is very hard to go on but i am still here so on ward I go. I have learned many things about myself within the last few years. I am a loyal and thoughtful person. A good Son, Grandson, brother, Cousin, Friend, and business partner. Hard working man with an appetite for success. Don't let the beautiful face fool you. I'm as real as it gets. And to the women i have yet to find that God has put here on earth that will one day become my wife know this. This man is every man in one. With God I fulfill your love, your lust, your Passion, your needs and all your wants. There is no gray area with me. Only Black & White. No one would even think of double crossing you out of respect for me. I am Evolving as a man in this Ruthless yet Amazing world.

As a sculptor I confront three-dimensional shapes, influenced by early childhood experiences growing up in Israel, surrounded by relics of past and present civilizations. The shapes change the land with a heavy-handed notion that is at once familiar and not recognizable. I manipulate the sculptures to the edge of their endurance; pushing and pulling between the memories emerging from the stones that survived to the artist hand. The outgrowth becomes evidence of time and action.
In my work, imperfection is manifested through the crack; that which appears broken and fragile yet it is strong. The act of creating is rooted in my drive to constantly question rather than make a choice. Stretching materials to the their limits, using them in different ways than was intended, and looking at beauty in a radical way. The stage is then set for cracks and breaks to appear and become a part of the creation. Expanding on the idea of Wabi-Sabi, I create visual experiences that transcend the acceptance of imperfection, allowing its beauty to be revealed.
Living in Los Angeles gives me freedom through distance, and perspective through separation. My journey is to break the stone wall of my own perception; what I appear to be and what I know I am. My art reverberates that wall; a constant battle between the effort to drill a passage and the acceptance of the still comfort that awaits on the other side.

Gotta admit, it looks a heck like the "Dead Rising" games, what with all the customizable weapons and such, but I suppose that's inevitable given the gameplay and premise. I'm more of a run-and-gun type of gamer myself, but that could just be because I don't have as much time to devote to such immersive gameplaying. Going from one mission to the next in "Dead Rising" was some pull-your-hair-out stuff. Anyways, give it a whirl.
The island of Banoi is a lush, tropical paradise in the South Pacific where its flagship Royal Palms Resort serves as the ultimate getaway for vacationers with money to burn. However, all good things must soon come to an end – and the picturesque resort falls into madness, carnage and chaos after a mysterious and contagious zombie outbreak claims its once peaceful atmosphere. Cut off from the rest of the world, only four individuals who strangely find themselves immune to zombification have the power to protect the remaining survivors from the horrors of the island, to discover what's really going on and find a way to escape before their own fatal ends.

If you know me, then you know I am constantly talking about "long term." I want to sway bettors into that line of thinking because long-term winning is all that matters.
I wanted to create a package that would at least start bettors on that long-term path. So I'm now offering a 90-day All-Picks package for just $249. You get all my picks for a 3-month period at less than $3 per day.
It might be the SUPER BOWL, but that is NOT a good reason to go crazy betting the game. If you honestly see great value in some aspect of the game, then fire away. But PLEASE do NOT make a bigger-than-normal wager on this Super Bowl just because it's the Super Bowl. I've made an average-sized (2 Units) play on the Super Bowl, which I'm offering for just $15 at http://bit.ly/9sLXQw.
18-3 (86%) on my last 21 NBA plays & ranked as the #1 NBA 'capper where I'm monitored (sorry, not allowed to list the actual URL; Google "Where is Dwayne Bryant monitored" for details). Pregame is offering a SPECIAL DEAL for the next 24 hours ONLY: Get my 7 & 30-day packages DISCOUNTED. The best part is that if you sign up today, your 7 or 30 days do not start until tomorrow. Don't miss out! http://bit.ly/9sLXQw

We used asiatic lilies, spray roses, dendrobium orchids, green button mums, bear grass, solidago, curly willow, orgonia, Ti leaves, orgonia, and ming fern.
It's kinda "wild" but it's fun and it looks expensive!
I also created a corsage and boutonniere set for my pastor's son and his girlfriend . They went to prom together (so cute) and I was asked to create the corsage and boutonniere using red and silver. So, I used red spray roses, white wax flower, lemon leaf, clear rhinestones, gray pearls, silver glitter leaves, silver ribbon and silver tulle with bits of glitter on it.
Here's what I came up with.
As for my wedding and event planning course, I am now on Unit 2 where I am starting to get into the "business side of things." This weeks lesson is all about the budget.
Talking about money isn't the easiest thing to do but it was certainly interesting and when planning a large event that requires so many details and different vendors, it's important to really be open and talk numbers.
Since the audio portion of this lesson is done by a wedding planner out of NY, it's mind-boggling to hear the cost of a wedding in that state! Just for catering alone can be hundreds of dollars per person!
I also read that the average cost per person to have as a guest at a wedding is $118 in the U.S. and is usually more than $200 in the northeastern part of the country. *Note to self, don't get our vow renewals done in NY. This cost includes food, drink, cake, music, invites, thank-you notes and facility costs. It's kinda crazy to think of each guest as a Benjamin Franklin (+ an Andrew Jackson) but it may be necessary if you want to keep costs down.
Going over contracts and what should be in them is also covered in this lesson which is quite helpful yet sounds exhausting. lol
I still have a couple more pages with this lesson and then I'm onto reading about wedding attire. It's been a productive week recently!

GitHub is, as many probably know, home of many open source projects (apparently tens of millions of them) and very, very tiny portion of them projects are somewhat close to me.
Category: Programming
MazinGame and mazepy
I created a new GitHub project: mazepy. Mazepy includes maze classes for Python. Those classes and other code are translated from Ruby sources in the book "Mazes for Programmers" by Jamis Buck.
The project includes also additional code not in the aforementioned book.
I also updated MazinGame, removed maze-classes from it and added dependency to mazepy.
Pipping Python Apps
PipApp is a tool to create directories and files for Pip-distributable Python application and it's available, surprise surpise, using: pip install pipapp. Source is in GitHub, of course.
It was inspired by blog post Distributing a Python command line application by Jan-Philip Gehrcke. Files and directories and the process itself how to create pip-distributed Python app is described in that blog post.
PipApp is hopefully enough for personal and small hobby projects. More professional way of working is described in another blog post, Open Sourcing a Python Project the Right Way, by Jeff Knupp.
clipwdmgr v0.9
MazinGame v1.0.0
MazinGame is now v1.0.0 and reason why it's v1.0.0 is that it can now be installed using: pip install mazingame.
Latest release will be at PyPi and source remains at GitHub.
CLENotes v5.2
With the v5.2 release, full source of CLENotes is now available at GitHub. I also updated build and packaging to Maven. As before, releases can be downloaded from OpenNTF.
Changes of v5.2:
Version 5.2 (18.12.2015) - Moved to Maven building and packaging. Consequence: development can be done without Eclipse IDE. - Source code available at GitHub. - Updated Xtend libraries to v2.9.0. - Removed separate config file and added it to Configuration.xtend (in the future: configuration to be refactored).
Tycoon One v2.0
Soon Tycoon One v2.0 is going to be available all around the globe.

Revealed! Floyd Mayweather received banned IVs day before Manny Pacquiao fight
Floyd Mayweather Jr received banned intravenous vitamin injections the day before his May 2 megafight against Manny Pacquiao which failed to comply with World Anti-Doping Agency guidelines, it was disclosed late Wednesday in the USA.
The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency did not then issue a therapeutic use exception to Mayweather for the IVs until almost three weeks after the contest.
The report on SB Nation into drug testing in boxing, written by Thomas Hauser, revealed that Mayweather was discovered by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency to have received an intravenous vitamin injection the day before his May fight against Pacquiao, when employees of USADA had arrived to give Mayweather a random drug test at his home after the fight's weigh-in on Friday May 1.
The officials "found evidence of an IV being administered" to the boxer at the time. Nevada State Athletic Commission executive director Bob Bennett confirmed in the report that USADA did not declare to the NSAC that Mayweather was receiving an injection.
According to Mayweather's medical team, the fighter was given two different vitamin mixes -saline and vitamins- both of which were to treat dehydration. While the injections themselves did not include any banned substances, and Mayweather has never tested for any banned substance in his 19-year professional career, IVs are banned under WADA guidelines because they can be used to "dilute or mask the presence of another substance," Hauser's report disclosed.
To compound the disclosure, Mayweather was then granted a retrospective therapeutic use exemption (TUE) to receive the IV injections by USADA. Yet Mayweather's team had not applied for the TUE until 18 days after the fight against Pacquiao, 19 days after his test, according to Hauser's report. May weather went on to defeat Pacquiao by unanimous decision.
USADA chose not to notify the NSAC about the procedure until May 21, when USADA sent a letter to Bob Bennett, the NSAC director and NSAC chairman Francisco Aguilar, with a copy to Top Rank (Pacquiao's promoter), informing them that a retrospective therapeutic use exemption (TUE) had been granted.
Bennett told the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Wednesday that while he has no issue with Mayweather, who has always been an anti-doping advocate, he now has concerns over the actions of USADA officials, who should, he believes, have declared it immediately to the regulatory NSAC body, which is a state government agency.
"Floyd has always been a proponent of drug testing, which I applaud," Bennett told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "He's set a fine example for all to emulate. He's never tested positive in his entire career for any performance-enhancing drugs and, as a commission, we have no problem with Floyd Mayweather."
"As far as USADA, I was extremely disappointed that I wasn't notified right away. When it comes to TUE, we are the sole agency that approves the administering of TUEs. USADA, nor any other anti-doping agency that does drug testing, doesn't have the authority to adminster a TUE."
"The bottom line is USADA didn't keep us informed, which is totally unacceptable and unprofessional." The disclosure is likely to lead to an inquiry buy NSAC into the dealings of the USADA, over its lack of transparency, and its relationships with individuals being tested.
Pacquiao received a visit from a United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) representative shortly before taking to the scale on May 1, the thirteenth time he was asked to submit a urine or blood sample to the performance enhancing drug testing company in the build-up to the superfight.

15 March 2017
Last season was successful for Superyacht Private Expeditions Fiji, which built taillored dive / snorkeling itineraries and guided yacht clients throughout the country. Luckily, last year's hurricane did not affect the number of visiting yachts thanks to the local professionals who closely assisted yacht captains in the planning of their cruise. 2017 already shows a growing interest in the Fijian underwater world. Over the past few years, the low season seems to have been attracting a larger number of vessels, a good sign that the industry is more comfortable with the cyclone procedures and forecasting information provided. Like in Tahiti, the Austral Summer is a great opportunity to cruise and dive the islands in relative isolation and without the trade winds of the Austral Winter.
Further to the continuous success and demand from our clients, the team now counts one additional instructor on the brand of rebreather units TPE has now carefully selected to use and recommend. Already very familiar and experienced with technical diving on several brands of rebreathers, Rodolphe Holler successfully passed his instructorship on AP Diving Evolution rebreathers on which he has already logged in hundreds of dives over the past 3 years in various parts of the world. Rebreathers allow to dive longer, with less deco stops while making no bubbles. They are the ideal tool for exploration and special encounters requiring a quiet environment and patience. These high-tech units are extremely reliable and our technicians very skilled and trained to guide while meeting all safety requirements in areas they are experts of.
11 March 2016
The recent hurricane in Fiji has caused serious damages and has cost lives as it has been widely reported on the news all over the world.
The Fijian people are already at work to bring assistance to those in need.
Today, we feel it is important, however, to communicate that even though a terrible disaster happened and that its consequences should not be dimmed, it needs to be highlighted that the hurricane only hit a few parts of the country and that most of the Fiji islands are not damaged and remain as beautiful as ever.
Fiji is a special country to visit in the South Pacific. This season, yachts will be able to cruise there in all safety surrounded by beautiful scenery and friendly people. The underwater world there is amazing and even though it may have been slightly hit in very shallow areas where the hurricane struck, the quality of the dives and snorkeling is not affected in most places.
The teams of Superyacht Private Expeditions Fiji and Asia Pacific Superyachts Fiji will be ready to bring their expertise to any diver on a superyacht and will adapt the itinerary accordingly.
We strongly feel that Fiji must still be considered as a place to charter during the 2016 Summer and on our side, we will keep on recommending this country as one of the most beautiful places to cruise and dive in the South Pacific.
For any information, please contact David Jamieson email@example.com
22 August 2015
In response to increasing demand, Superyacht Private Expeditions (SPE), specialists in bespoke international dive adventures, are proud to announce the launch of their Fiji arm with offices in Marina Denarau to service the region's stunning underwater playground.
Building on the success of Tahiti Private Expeditions (TPE) owners Christelle and Rodolphe Holler developed SPE a few years ago to satisfy the expectations of high profile superyacht clients wanting to explore new grounds in the Pacific and South-East Asia with trusted dive experts.
With its headquarters in Auckland, New Zealand, the powerhouse couple has weighty industry and client
credentials backing their latest venture. Rodolphe is a dive instructor, marine biologist and professional underwater photographer, filmmaker and award winner of the 2nd Tahiti Underwater Film Festival (FISPOL). Christelle is a dive master, long-time consultant to the Tahiti Department of Tourism in charge of promoting the destination to the superyacht industry and has significant high-end international hospitality experience.
David Jamieson, superyacht captain, dive master and Fiji resident of more than 10 years has been hand selected to manage Fiji operations for SPE.
"Combining significant dive experience, extensive local knowledge and contacts with the drive to create outstanding tailored experiences for our clients make David and his team the natural choice" says Christelle Holler.
Jamieson first arrived in Fiji as captain of the 30m classic yacht S/Y Aile Blanche in 1999 and has owned and operated his own Superyacht shore support agency, Asia Pacific Superyachts Fiji (previously Yacht Help Fiji) for the last 13 years. This gives him a unique insight into the wants, needs and expectations of today's superyacht owner both onshore and off. Asia Pacific Superyachts Fiji has joined Superyacht Private Expeditions as a partner in providing the best diving experience in Fiji for visiting superyachts.
"I'm excited to share my expertise and enthusiasm for diving in Fiji. Although Fiji benefits from strong tourism only 110 of the 332 islands are inhabited. Most of these islands are of volcanic origin and feature great sheltered anchorages for superyachts. Few yachts go there so you feel like you are the first ones to explore the area; notably with a custom itinerary tailored to each guest's experience and interests whether the group is experienced, complete beginners or includes children. The ongoing project of turning the Vatu-i-ra area into a Marine protected area means there is even more dive excitement coming up in Fiji" says Jamieson.
Fiji has tropical weather patterns similar to Tahiti but both offer two entirely contrasting and unique experiences. Fiji is abound with a profusion of thousands of small colorful fish, shark encounters aplenty and abundant magical soft coral whilst Tahiti is known for thrilling drift dives, brushes with dolphins, manta rays and humpback whales amidst expansive coral reefs. This makes Fiji the natural next step on from Tahiti in a journey through the Pacific particularly at a time where Fiji is developing a marine protected area.
Superyacht Private Expeditions will continue to provide the highest quality dive experience in Fiji that clients of TPE have become familiar with; namely using the very best dive guides, professionally trained underwater videographers and the latest technology to enable clients to share their adventures with friends and family all over the world. To get a taste of the experience SPE warmly welcome guests to view footage filmed on dives here: https://vimeo.com/114748522
"Onboard dive crew are often very busy when guests are onboard and diving is not their sole responsibility so having a dedicated person in charge of this activity makes things much easier for the crew and captain," says Holler. "Not only are we peace of mind for the captain we also support charter managers and brokers in setting up custom itineraries for their clients in areas they have sometimes not experienced themselves. We step onboard to make our clients' trip unforgettable."
TPE and SPE's client list is extensive; their team have worked on superyachts such as M/Y Big Fish, M/Y Octopus, M/Y Suri, S/Y Silencio, M/Y Askari, M/Y Unbridled, M/Y A, and S/Y Maltese Falcon. "Quite often we'll work with yachts on both their charter and owner's trips," notes Holler, saying that they recently worked a charter for Silencio in Tahiti having previously worked with the owner. A same guide is often requested to join in another destination the following season.
SPE is extending their network to other destinations in order to offer professional tailored itineraries and consistently excellent dive standards throughout the Pacific; from one destination to the next.
Ni sa bula vinaka! We look forward to welcoming you to Fiji.

It has been a little while since we were last in touch! Busy as ever, we followed our clients to Bonaire, Saba, Silver Bank, the BVIs and soon Komodo. Meanwhile, we carried on cruising and diving French Polynesia, through Tahiti Private Expeditions, also preparing for the coming season with some exciting boats for new journeys around our amazing islands. Follow our adventures on Facebook!
Always aiming at offering the best options, we edited a short HD video as a sample of the films we make for our clients when we step onboard for a trip. Not only will it feature their underwater encounters but also any special event throughout their cruise. All this with the extra help of a drone for aerial footage. The perfect way to make a trip even more memorable and see by yourself what we do. Enjoy and watch!
In coordination with the motor yacht Askari, which has been based in French Polynesia for the past 8 years, and the local Department of Tourism, Tahiti Private Expeditions, our sister company, brought its contribution to the "Tahiti Experience" having the pleasure to recently dive and snorkel with 6 high-profile professionals of the industry out of Moorea. They were also introduced with the specificities of the local marine life during a lecture to understand what makes these islands so interesting for diving and snorkeling.
We are carrying on our ocean conservation actions with Oceana, further contributing to their projects. Having just finished a charter on SY Hemisphere within the frame of the foundation, we are now preparing a couple of packages to help raise funds during their next SeaChange Summer party in California.

Identity Theft: P2P Networks Invite Online Thieves—Identity Theft Expert and Speaker on Personal Security
(BOSTON, Mass. – May 21, 2007 – IDTheftSecurity.com) Robert Siciliano, a personal security and identity theft expert, has demonstrated on television how file-sharing programs can render the contents of a computer's hard viewable to online thieves. A new study has now shown that peer-to-peer network users may be inadvertently contributing to security breaches.
"Parents should beware when their children share music and other files over the Internet," said Siciliano. "But a corporation should also be leery of employees doing likewise; they may be unwittingly inviting cyberthieves into the company's proprietary databases."
CEO of IDTheftSecurity.com and a member of the Bank Fraud & IT Security Report's editorial board, Siciliano leads Fortune 500 companies and their clients in workshops that explore consumer education solutions for security issues. A longtime identity theft speaker and author of "The Safety Minute: 01," he has discussed data security and consumer protection on CNBC, on NBC's "Today Show," FOX News, and elsewhere.
As reported in InformationWeek, researchers from Dartmouth University's Tuck School of Business released findings on May 15 suggesting that corporate data breaches trace back to peer-to-peer (P2P) network usage by employees.
According to the study, the number of P2P users, already at 4 million in 2003, has more than doubled since. Furthermore, the researchers said efforts by officials to surveil, monitor, and dissuade the use of P2P networks in the workplace have failed to keep pace with these networks' ever-evolving, decentralized nature.
In April, Siciliano was on "FOX 25," the network's Boston, Mass. affiliate, to demonstrate how P2P networks allow criminal to obtain the information needed to commit identity theft. Viewers may view his appearance below:
Meanwhile, high-tech and low-tech security holes have continued to plague industry and government:
On May 17, the Associated Press reported that the Georgia Department of Human Resources had informed 140,000 parents of newborns that medical staff in the state had failed to shred documents containing personal information including Social Security numbers.
According to the May 16 edition of ConsumerAffairs.com, data tapes belonging to IBM Corp. and containing current and former employees' identifying information went missing as an unidentified vendor transported the files to IBM's headquarters.
"Sensitive data is everywhere," said Siciliano. "We must do a better job of protecting and securing it. Unless we constantly improve our countermeasures, thieves will find and use our identifying information—whether they find it on a computer or in a wastebasket."
