Ali's Favorite Apple Pie Recipe
0 recipe photos
READY IN:1hr 20mins
Ingredients Nutrition
need for Filling
- 5 large tart green apples
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3 -4 tablespoons unbleached flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1⁄4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
need for Crust
- 2 1⁄2 cups unbleached flour
- 1⁄2 cup almond meal
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 lb butter
- 6 -10 tablespoons ice water, as needed
- First
- Peel, core, and slice apples into ½ inch slices.
- Soak apples in water and lemon juice.
- Let sit while you prepare crust.
- Making your Crust
- Combine the flour, almond meal, and salt in a bowl. Slice the butter into ½ inch slices with a knife, and add the butter, mixing with your hands until the mixture resembles course meal. Lightly work in enough water for the dough to cohere when brought together with hands. If dough is too sticky, simply add a little flour. Work the dough into a ball and leave in the fridge until chilled.
- Making your Filling
- Drain soaked apples and dry thoroughly. Mix sugar, flour, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, salt, and vinegar into a large bowl, then add apples. Mix together until apples are well-coated. If mixture is too wet, simply drain liquid and add more flour.
- Making your Pie!
- When dough is chilled, cut in half and roll out that half into a circle with rolling pin. (I always use a rolling pin sleeve and a pastry cloth to keep the dough from sticking, but you can also sprinkle flour.) The circled crust should be about ⅛ inch thick, or wide enough to cover pie tin. After laying crust into pie tin, trim the excess and combine with other half of dough. Add the pie filling discarding the excess liquid. Then roll out the remainder of dough into a circle and cover the top of your pie. (I usually either cut a slit on the top of the pie for the heat to escape, or use a small cookie cutter.) Using your thumb or a fork, crimp the edge of the pie crust. Bake at 350° for about 15 minuets, checking every 5 min to ensure golden brown. Let cool and enjoy!

Business Challenge:
A global financial services firm was experiencing 60% voluntary attrition among Customer Service Representatives (CSRs). They hired close to 30,000 CSRs annually, making this an unrecoverable multi-million dollar expense. To be placed in a full-time role these CSRs had to pass a Series 7 exam. In preparation for this exam, new hires were paid for 12 weeks of training – culminating in a Series 7 exam. If they did not pass the first time they were fired.
Enter Talent Analytics.
By selecting candidates that are more likely to pass training, we get more agents past that hump and onto the phone where they begin to provide value to their employer. Fewer candidates waste their own time in a career that they ultimately don't want. The contact center spends less money acquiring, recruiting and training agents. Performance goes up. Engagement goes up. Attrition goes down. Customers feel it.
Everybody wins.
"This work had tremendous impact on the bottom line of our business, and the quality of service we gave our customers. Within months of hiring people with characteristics that Talent Analytics correlated to high business performance, employee turnover dropped by over 30%, yielding a multi-million dollar annual savings." – EVP, Financial Services Firm

A&E cover hit in overhaul of hospitals
HOSPITAL services for patients in Cork and Kerry are to be overhauled, leaving some areas without 24-hour accident-and-emergency cover.
Under the plan, unveiled yesterday, the duplication of services will be dramatically reduced.
It means the six hospitals in the two counties will operate as one network for the first time.
However, the reorganisation, which will happen over five years, must be done on a "cost -neutral" basis -- with no funding coming from the HSE.
It also envisages that Cork city will get a new hospital in 10 to 15 years with the closure of the Mercy and South Infirmary hospitals.
Cork University Hospital will become the main centre in the region for the most complex care and cancer services.
This will mean Mallow General and Bantry hospitals will no longer have round-the-clock emergency departments.
Instead, Mallow and Bantry will have urgent care centres to deal with emergencies, while the most seriously-ill patients will be looked after by advanced paramedics who treat them before transfer to Cork city.
The South Infirmary will also lose its emergency department, while the service at the Mercy Hospital will be confined to 12 hours a day.
Kerry General Hospital will retain its 24-hour emergency cover and critical-care service, while providing general and orthopedic surgery.
The Mercy Hospital will be the regional centre for patients in need of urology and vascular surgery, and for a new rehabilitation medicine service.
St Mary's orthopedic Hospital will close and transfer all services to the South Infirmary which will become a regional centre for orthopedics and eye surgery.
The "reconfiguration roadmap" was unveiled yesterday by consultant obstetrician Prof John Higgins.

Los Angeles graffiti artist-writer "Sickid" decorated this dumpster along Sunset Blvd. in Silver Lake.

Graffiti Artwork in Progress in Venice
On Tuesday, we spied this beautiful work-in-progress graffiti art on the side of the Davy Jones Liquor Locker, a famously no-frills liquor store in Venice, Los Angeles. We'll go back to see the completed work in a few days and post pix here, but judging from what we see, there's a local beach theme with palm trees and summery, sunny colors on the "wild style" lettering. Even in its half-finished state, the artwork is beautiful. This spot has been a canvas for a lot of other commisioned graffit art and street art over the years.
Monochromatic Graffiti Art … Venice, Los Angeles
While we've always had a strong distaste for the most basic, utilitarian type of territorial graffiti tag — raw vandalism without taste — there's an element of that aesthetic employed in this graffiti-inspired street art on a pair of doors on About Kinney Boulevard in Venice, in Los Angeles. The tight spacing of the letter forms and its overlapping composition are rendered in plain white on black. The paint drips to form root-like tendrils below the rectangular block of indecipherable text. The door forms a canvas, and the doorway with its white-painted brick forms a kind of frame. The over all composition is one of cohesion, boldness and abstraction made more mysterious and evocative by the otherwise restrained plainness of the color white. Love this.

Graffiti Art Truck in Motion … Lower East Side, New York
New York City Chinatown has a high volume of small truck traffic ferrying goods to and from the many small warehouses, wholesalers and workshops that call the neighborhood home. Many of these trucks have elaborate graffiti art pieces, like this one we caught turning the corner at Ludlow and Grand streets in the Lower East Side.

(more Mall of Death Pics HERE, if your curious)
In any case, the mall's current owner has let the mall deteriorate badly and one whole section of the mall is closed. There are many vacant storefronts and that concourse pictured above is no longer crowded like it used to be. They moved the food court a couple years back, to this very depressing corner where all 3 levels meet, including the dead section that's closed. The lighting blows and the ceiling clearance is about 9 feet. It's a shitty place for the food court. Especially when you compare it to a place like Ross Park Mall.
One of my readers had the chance to spend extended time at the Mall Of Death today. Inspired by my tweets and complaints, I was sent this: (A Guest Rant)
So here's what Mayor D is going to do with Century III Mall. Gonna close it immediately! Then we're gonna take the mall and convert it to a multi purpose facility. I'm going section it all up!
One section is going to be a medical facility that will serve as an annex to Jefferson Hospital. We'll have doctors and specialists and rehab here.
Another section is going to be a bus lounge were riders can shoot each other in comfort while waiting for a bus transfer. Yes, shoot each other in comfort...and they can do drugs and get high and have babies on the couch and be prostitutes and do all those other wonderful things that bus riders en route to clariton enjoy. 61c Mckeesport baby....keepin it real, man keepin it real!
Then we're going have a big fitness center here with nutritionists and cooking classes and health experts!
Finally, we will have another section that's gonna be an annex to CCAC south campus with more classrooms and computer training and such.
I'll make the Bus Lounge real nice. Lcd screens for all... 1 screen shows bus schedules, another shows available prostitutes with rates, another gives real time price quotes for an ounce of crack.... I'm going to have a vending machine in my bus lounge....it will be stocked with disposable needles, condoms, tampons, cigarettes, and Advil. The Bus Lounge will be a great hit!
I probably will keep a few stores here...but only a handful. They are mostly gonna be shoe stores, beauty salons, tanning places, and nail salons. I'll reopen the kfc that used to be here too. Inside will be payless shoes, Gabriel brothers, salvation army. And goodwill. Other anchor stores will be the unemployment office, ace cash express, my bus lounge, and a family planning clinic.
I'll put some branch office banks and atms here too! If you need money, you can just conveniently rob the bank, so you have money to pay for the prostitute that's gonna ride the bus home with you tonight!
See how easily I can improve peoples lives??!! Giving back to the community man, that's what its all about. I'm telling you....I got a higher calling in life!
I've been coming to this mall since I've been 5 years old....I can tell you whatever you need to know about it and what's going happen after it closes... The people from clariton who will make full use of my bus lounge are the reason why the mall is what it is today.

Finland Civil Registration
Finland Civil Registration
Records of births, marriages, and deaths are commonly referred to as vital records because they refer to critical events in a person's life. Civil registration is the vital records made by the government. Vital records of Finland have traditionally been kept by the church. See Finland Church Records for more information.
In 1923 a freedom of religion law was passed. As a result, people who did not have a religious preference were recorded in a civil registry [Siviilirekisteri/Civil registret]. Later, people who belonged to churches other than the state churches were also included in the civil registry.
In 1970 the government's census records [henkikirjat/mantalslängder] became the basis of a general population register [Väestörekisteri/ Befolkningsregistret] for all people in Finland. This population register also incorporated the information from the earlier civil registry [Siviilirekisteri/Civil registret]. For more information about Finnish censuses, see Finland Census.
The Väestörekisteri/Befolkningsregistret has local offices on a commune (parish) level. The central office has a computerized register that includes information on individuals nationwide. The central office can help you find living relatives in Finland.
You can contact the office at:

text: Hello from a noob. I have done the saferoot, text edited the sales dat to AWS and changed the other file (forget the name) from OFF to ON. Basically I switched the IMEI on my Metro account to a 545. I kept the same SIM. The store says there demo SIM does not pick up the internet either. The internet worked for 2 minutes and now there is no logo (4g lte, H+ etc) and no connection to the internet at all. I have tried going into the bands etc. but I think I'm missing something (I guess obviously). I have done "everything". Updated the APN settings etc. etc. It is stock rom except the root and the minor text edited changes. It is on 4.3 android. Can anyone out there please tell me how to turn off the stupid VZN LTE band option (I think that is my problem) however when I put in the *#276... command it doesn't pull up the menu that lets you access the band option like I've seen on Youtube. It gives me a different menu with UMTS at the top. I still haven't found the turn off the VZN LTE option. Any help at all would be appreciated. The dialing and text messaging work so it's a clean phone but for some reason the phone is blocking my damn internet. Thanks for the help.

Baker Hughes pays for stoplights at Dickinson development
When traveling on Highway 22 north of Dickinson, be prepared to stop in the coming weeks.
California-based Baker Hughes is paying more than $300,000 for traffic signals at the intersection leading into its facility, according to an agreement with the city of Dickinson.
"This is something we have planned since building our new Dickinson base, which includes a new bulk plant with double truck loading to improve delivery to location times and offers the latest technology for quicker and more consistent blends," Baker Hughes spokeswoman Pam Easton said.
The Dickinson City Commission approved the traffic signal agreement with Baker Hughes at its Nov. 19 meeting.
A developer paying for traffic signals is not rare, Dickinson City Administrator Shawn Kessel said. Roers will likely cover at least some of the cost of traffic signals at its development in west Dickinson.
"We're going to have some stoplights at the intersection (near Exit) 59 when that retail development is done and that area out there is developed and the developers in that area will probably pay for a portion of those stoplights as well," he said.
The lights provided by Baker Hughes will not be the only lights going up in north Dickinson.
The widening of North Dakota Highway 22 in north Dickinson is near completion as crews install traffic lights.
Once the lights are running, control of them will be turned over to the city, Olson said.
The project, which began May 29, cost $17 million, said North Dakota Department of Transportation spokeswoman Jamie Olson. The paving and addition of three lanes was complete at the end of October.
"It's to help control the flow of traffic, there's an increase of traffic in that area," she said. "It sounds like that (area) will continue to grow."
It is one of many major road construction projects NDDOT began in 2012 in the Oil Patch. Others include improvements to the intersection of U.S. Highway 2 and N.D. Highway 85, N.D. Highway 8, N.D. Highway 23 and developing a truck reliever route for Williston.
NDDOT invested about $635 million in road projects throughout western North Dakota between 2008 and the present, including $305 million in 2012, according to NDDOT documents.
"I think traffic flow and how it's managed is in large part managed by traffic signals and this is part of a bigger and broader project to look at stoplights along all of 22," Kessel said.

I'm Kevin and welcome to Kevin Is Cooking!
A little about Kevin is Cooking
Whether in the kitchen or on the grill, you'll find quick mid-week meals, comfort food goodness and tasty desserts. I'm passionate to make delicious meals that are sometimes health conscious and sometimes indulgent—because life's too short to be bland!
Inspired by an international pantry and family, I share my spin on classics and comfort food while occasionally sharing a behind‑the‑scenes view of what it's like to cook for two people with different dietary needs – one a "big, bold flavors" kind of guy with a sweet tooth (that would be me), and the other a "big, bold flavors Type II diabetic" (that would be my partner Dave).
About Kevin
I was bitten by the cooking bug as a teenager, and went on to work in restaurants and catering. Life intervened, but I never really stepped away from the stove. Now I live the cooking life every day, inspired by my international pantry and by the ongoing effort to put a spin on a classic recipe and give inspiration to help you get that meal on the table. Thrown in the mix are recipes to make health a priority when indulgence calls. Sometimes I cave in to my sweet tooth and share with neighbors and friends. In the end, my story is about one couple's efforts to eat together despite their different diets.
I hope you take a look around and enjoy the goods I cook, bake and grill up. All the best and don't forget to lick the spoon!

PREMIER Jay Weatherill has defended the allocation of preferred tender status for a housing development on the former Mitsubishi site to a company which hosted a Labor fundraiser.
On February 13, the State Government announced that CIC Australia Limited had been selected as the preferred developer following public expressions of interest for the 11-hectare Tonsley site.
The Tonsley residential precinct will house about 1200 people and retail services and is to be built alongside a manufacturing and education hub including a super TAFE.
At the time of the preferred tender announcement, the Government said it would commence work on a detailed masterplan and aimed to enter into a development deed later in the year.
The Liberal Party has this morning released documents showing SA Progressive Business, Labor's fundraising arm, held a $120-a-head drinks event hosted by CIC on January 29.
Labor today has also renewed attacks on the Liberals over a party fundraiser at the home of Michael Hickinbotham tonight.
He is a major landholder at Roseworthy, north of Gawler.
The Opposition has promised to fast-track the approval process for a rezoning in the district that could allow for construction of up to 40,000 homes. Labor opposes the rezoning.
Tonight's guests are paying $500 each to hear from keynote speakers Opposition Leader Steven Marshall and Victorian Liberal powerbroker Michael Kroger.
Mr Weatherill today denied that Cabinet or any individual minister was involved in the decision to grant CIC preferred developer stars at Tonsley, which he said was overseen by Renewal SA.
"No government minister or no Cabinet decision was made in relation to that matter," he said.
"That decision wasn't taken by government. It was actually taken by an independent body."
Mr Weatherill said he would "speak to anybody that is prepared to listen to my message".
"It was done as an independent and open process separate from government," he said.
"We have lots of interests that actually provide support to the Labor Party and I'm more than happy to go and speak to their functions, I'm more than happy to speak to private functions."
Mr Weatherill said the Liberal Party was making a policy commitment, which stood in stark contrast to decisions taken by government authorities at arm's length from political intervention.
Mr Marshall said fundraising was "a fact of modern-day political campaigning".
"All parties conduct fundraisers to support their campaigns. I don't think there's anything untoward about political fundraising whatsoever," he said.
"We've been open and transparent. We've let people know what we're doing. We're not trying to hide this in any way, shape or form."
"I think the big question is why is Jay Weatherill and his government out there one week setting this incredibly high standard ... which they themselves have clearly breached."
The state election is on March 15.

FILM RATING: 4.5 stars
(Upgraded from 3.5 to 4.5 stars on September 29, 2011)
Since I first heard about this film, I've wanted to see it. The story of Secretariat is legendary and epic…the stuff for a potentially great movie. And Director Randall Wallace came through on this one. I finally got around to watching Secretariat (2010) for the first time last night. On first viewing, the story struck me as a bit too PG and "Disney-fied", but as I watched it for a second time this morning, I appreciated some nuances that at first blush passed me by. So I upgraded my initial rating of 3.5 stars to 4.5. I think it will hold up well over the years. It held up well overnight!
Secretariat is the story of the famed horse that won the Triple Crown in 1973 (the year I was born ironically), winning the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes, and the Belmont Stakes all in a row in a single year. It's also the story of the horse's owner, Penny Chenery Tweedy, played very well by Diane Lane. In supporting roles, John Malkovich, Margo Martindale, and Nelsan Ellis help make the story of the people behind the horse interesting. Secretariat is the most famous racing horse to this day, and no horse has repeated yet as a Triple Crown winner in over 37 years. Who knows…maybe this movie will inspire a new Triple Crown winner this year!
Set in the late 1960's and early 1970's, Secretariat brings that time period and the world of horse racing to life just like Seabiscuit (2003) did a few years ago…and like The Black Stallion (1979) did when I was a kid. I personally think Secretariat is a little better than Seabiscuit, but both are really good horse racing films. I haven't seen The Black Stallion in a lot of years, so I'm not sure how I would rate it cinematically, but I remember I loved it as a kid! Disney and director Wallace made a film here that is accessible to a broad range of audiences like the other two films I mentioned. That both helps the film and hurts it. By making a PG film, Wallace and Disney don't quite give the film the edginess it needs to propel in to the cinematic hall of fame, but kids today now have a new story about horse racing that they can cling to and come to appreciate like I did with The Black Stallion. I've always loved horses in movies, and Secretariat reminds me of the simple joys of watching a horse race, like I did a few times as a teenager with my parents.
What strikes me more than anything about Secretariat is the cinematography by legendary Director of Photography Dean Semler. He is truly one of the greatest cinematographers of all time, bringing us unforgettable images in Dances With Wolves (1990), Dead Calm (1989), Apocalypto (2006), We Were Soldiers (2002), and Appaloosa (2008)…to name a few. Semler really went outside his normal camera box with Secretariat, using images from all sorts of resources, including small digital cameras in addition to 35mm film. One of the special features on the Secretariat Blu-ray discussed some of the photography during the horse races, which fascinated me as a photographer and filmmaker. Semler uses small digital cameras to capture some fascinating images of the horses and the races up close and personal, giving us an up-close and personal look at horse racing like we've never seen. Kudos to Semler and Wallace for daring to look outside of just the standard horse racing images we've seen before and bringing a fresh take to this sub-genre of movies. The photography definitely gives this film at least 1 of it's stars because it is so striking compared to the average film.
Production Design by Thomas E. Sanders and Art Direction by Sarah Boardman and Naaman Marshall really shines in Secretariat as well. With so many well designed productions these last few years, we seem to take these talented film team members for granted, but I for one really appreciate all the hard work they put into getting all the details of the sets, locations, costumes, make-up, and props just right. The magic of film is that when its done right (like here), you are transported to another world, another time, and another place. If something distracts you from the believability of that escape, then it doesn't work as well. But the production design of Secretariat is spot on, supporting and enhancing the story, as it should.
While the true test of Secretariat will be how it holds up over the next decade, it's definitely a film for the whole family. Kids and adults alike can find something here to grab on to. If there was more of a male lead character that I could strongly relate to, this story might be stronger for me. But getting in to Penny's shoes for 2 hours is enough to make me like this film more than most. While Secretariat won't make me revise my Top 10 films of 2010, it's probably in the 11-20 range. 2010 was just such a competitive year in movies that in another year, Secretariat would surely rise to the top like the horse itself did in 1973. Now I have a film to remind me of what was truly great about the year I was born…other than me being born of course!

Location: Polly Hill Arboretum Visitor Center
Date: Friday, March 8
Description: Apples have played an integral role in American life for the past 400 years. They were brought here mostly as seed by the first Europeans. The colonists planted orchards everywhere they settled. Apples provided home-grown fruit nearly year-round: they were used fresh or cooked, baked, sauced, dried, or pressed. Every area had its own locally adapted favorites, especially in New England. Join apple expert John Bunker for a discussion of the horticultural, culinary and historical significance of apples. Learn about today's revival of heirloom varieties and how to track down ancient local fruit trees.

Blaack Early Origins
Devon where they held a family seat from very ancient times, and Walter le Blake was recorded in the Pipe Rolls for the region in 1167. However some of the family moved far north to Twizell in Northumberland, about 10 miles from Berwick. "Twizell Castle, a fine though unfinished castellated mansion of the Blakes, is seated on a rocky precipice, surrounded by extremely picturesque scenery; and near it is Tillmouth House, the present residence of the family."

Blaack Spelling Variations
Blaack Spelling Variations
Before the last few hundred years, the English language had no fast system of spelling rules. For that reason, spelling variations are commonly found in early Anglo-Saxon surnames. Over the years, many variations of the name Blaack were recorded, including Blake, Blaik and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
To escape oppression and starvation at that time, many English families left for the "open frontiers" of the New World with all its perceived opportunities. In droves people migrated to the many British colonies, those in North America in particular, paying high rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Although many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, those who did see the shores of North America perceived great opportunities before them. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Research into various historical records revealed some of first members of the Blaack family emigrate to North America: William Blake who came from Essex, England, sailed on the "Mary and John" in 1630 and settled in Dorchester, Massachusetts, Abigail Blake, who was a child sent from hospital in England to Virginia in 1633.

Understanding memory
Understanding page frames and pages
Memory in Linux is organized in the form of pages (typically 4 KB in size). Contiguous linear addresses within a page are mapped onto contiguous physical addresses on the RAM chip. However congtiguous pages can be present anywhere on the physical RAM. Access rights and physical address mapping in the kernel is done at a page level rather than for every linear address. A page refers both to the set of linear addresses that it contains as well as to the data contained in this group of addresses.
The paging unit thinks of all physical RAM as partitioned into fixed-length page frames. Each page frame contains a page. A page frame is a constituent of main memory, and hence it is a storage area. It is important to distinguish a page from a page frame; the former is just a block of data, which may be stored in any page frame or on disk. The paging unit translates linear addresses into physical ones. One key task in the unit is to check the requested access type against the access rights of the linear address. If the memory access is not valid, it generates a Page Fault exception (see Chapter 4 and Chapter 8). The data structures that map linear to physical addresses are called page tables ; they are stored in main memory and must be properly initialized by the kernel before enabling the paging unit.
Pages can optionally be 4 MB in size. However this is not advised except for applications where the expected data unit is large.
The kernel considers the following page frames as reserved:
A page contained in a reserved page frame can never be dynamically assigned or swapped to disk. As a general rule, the Linux kernel is installed in RAM starting from the physical address 0x00100000 i.e., from the second megabyte. The total number of page frames required depends on how the kernel is configured. A typical configuration yields a kernel that can be loaded in less than 3 MB of RAM
The remaining portion of the RAM barring the reserved page frames is called dynamic memory. It is a valuable resource, needed not only by the processes but also by the kernel itself. In fact, the performance of the entire system depends on how efficiently dynamic memory is managed. Therefore, all current multitasking operating systems try to optimize the use of dynamic memory, assigning it only when it is needed and freeing it as soon as possible.
The kernel must keep track of the current status of each page frame. For instance, it must be able to distinguish the page frames that are used to contain pages that belong to processes from those that contain kernel code or kernel data structures. Similarly, it must be able to determine whether a page frame in dynamic memory is free. A page frame in dynamic memory is free if it does not contain any useful data. It is not free when the page frame contains data of a User Mode process, data of a software cache, dynamically allocated kernel data structures, buffered data of a device driver, code of a kernel module, and so on
Allocating memory to processes
A kernel function gets dynamic memory in a fairly straightforward manner since the kernel trusts itself. All kernel functions are assumed to be error-free, so the kernel does not need to insert any protection against programming errors.
When allocating memory to User Mode processes, the situation is entirely different:
When a User Mode process asks for dynamic memory, it doesn't get additional page frames; instead, it gets the right to use a new range of linear addresses, which become part of its address space. This interval is called a "memory region". A memory region consists of a range of linear addresses representing one or more page frames. Each memory region therefore consists of a set of pages that have consecutive page numbers.
Following are some typical situations in which a process gets new memory regions:
Demand paging
The term demand paging denotes a dynamic memory allocation technique that consists of deferring page frame allocation until the last possible moment until the process attempts to address a page that is not present in RAM, thus causing a Page Fault exception
Fig 9.4
The motivation behind demand paging is that processes do not address all the addresses included in their address space right from the start; in fact, some of these addresses may never be used by the process. Moreover, the program locality principle ensures that, at each stage of program execution, only a small subset of the process pages are really referenced, and therefore the page frames containing the temporarily useless pages can be used by other processes. Demand paging is thus preferable to global allocation (assigning all page frames to the process right from the start and leaving them in memory until program termination), because it increases the average number of free page frames in the system and therefore allows better use of the available free memory. From another viewpoint, it allows the system as a whole to get better throughput with the same amount of RAM.
The price to pay for all these good things is system overhead: each Page Fault exception induced by demand paging must be handled by the kernel, thus wasting CPU cycles. Fortunately, the locality principle ensures that once a process starts working with a group of pages, it sticks with them without addressing other pages for quite a while. Thus page Fault exceptions may be considered rare events.
An addressed page may not be present in main memory either because the page was never accessed by the process, or because the corresponding page frame has been reclaimed by the kernel.
Overcommitting memory
Linux allws overcommitting memory to processes. As we have seen that even though a process may malloc() 1 GB, Linux does not issue it 1 GB immediately, but rather only issues memory when the process actually needs it. Additionally Linux can overcommit the memory allocation. So if 5 processes each ask for 1 GB but the total amount of RAM and swap add up to only 4 GB, Linux may still allocate the 5 GB without any error. The overcommit settings depend on overcommit_memory and overcommit_ratio settings of the vm. Refer to http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt for further details on these parameters. In most cases overcommitting will not have any negative impact on the system unless you know your processes will utilize all of the memory that they are granted, and no addtl memory will be left over. On the other hand overcommitting does not have any advantage in server environments where capacity planning and calculations should be accurately performed.
atop shows the overcommit limit and the current committed memory, but this can be a bit misleading. I explain this calculation below
atop output:
meminfo output
Page faults and swapping
Page faults and swapping are two independent processes. Page faults take place when a process requests for an address that has been allocated to it but has not yet been assigned to it. Upon receving this request the Kernel confirms that the address being requested belongs to the process and if so then allocates a new page frame from memory and assigns it to the process.
Swapping occurs in one of two scenarios -
In general page faults are rare since they only occur when a process needs to access latent memory space. Infact on a long running server where there are no new processes being forked, page faults should almost never occur
Swapping is bad for performance and should also never occur in a well planned deployment. Swapping will almost always signify that your server does not have adequate memory to run all its processes. Infact during constant swapping all your memory is used up by existing processes. There is no memory available for the disk cache either. Constant swapping can bring a server to a standstill. It is important to note that lack of memory for the page cache will never cause swapping. It is only when there is no memory available for your processes that swapping occurs.
a better description of swapping
VmSize, Resident size and Actual size of a process
The resident size of a process (as shown in top or ps) represents the amount of non-swapped memory the kernel has already allocated to the process. This number is inaccurate when totalled (especially in a multi=process app like postgres or apache) since it includes shared memory. This also does not include the swapped out portion of the process. VmSize is the total memory of a program including its resident size, swap size, code, data, shared libraries etc. The SWAP column in top is calculated using VsSize - RSS which I believe is an incorrect calculation. Lets take an example and uinderstand these numbers better -
[user@server ~]$ cat /proc/9894/status
We can conclude from the above -
There is another aspect to remember here. Even though the resident size of the above program is 2.71 GB that too does not mean that the program is actually using 2.71 GB at this time. For instance in the above java program, java requests the kernel to consistently provide it additional memory whenever it needs addtl memory upto the limit specified for the java process. This memory is resident memory (unless a portion is swapped out). However after running an intensive process when java clears a large set of objects through a gc, this memory is not given back to the OS. The actual memory used by java at a point in time maybe significantly lesser than RSS. This can be measured independently provided the process allows you to do so.
Note that the VmHWM parameter is interesting inasmuch as it signifies the amount of physical memory required for the process at peak times.
Types of page faults
Minor page fault: If the page is loaded in memory at the time the fault is generated, but is not marked in the memory management unit as being loaded in memory, then it is called a minor or soft page fault. The page fault handler in the operating system merely needs to make the entry for that page in the memory management unit point to the page in memory and indicate that the page is loaded in memory; it does not need to read the page into memory. This could happen if the memory is shared by different programs and the page is already brought into memory for other programs.
Major page fault: If the page is not loaded in memory at the time the fault is generated, then it is called a major or hard page fault. The page fault handler in the operating system needs to find a free page in memory, or choose a page in memory to be used for this page's data, write out the data in that page if it hasn't already been written out since it was last modified, mark that page as not being loaded into memory, read the data for that page into the page, and then make the entry for that page in the memory management unit point to the page in memory and indicate that the page is loaded in memory. Major faults are more expensive than minor page faults and may add disk latency to the interrupted program's execution. This is the mechanism used by an operating system to increase the amount of program memory available on demand. The operating system delays loading parts of the program from disk until the program attempts to use it and the page fault is generated.
Invalid page fault: If a page fault occurs for a reference to an address that's not part of the virtual address space, so that there can't be a page in memory corresponding to it, then it is called an invalid page fault. The page fault handler in the operating system then needs to terminate the code that made the reference, or deliver an indication to that code that the reference was invalid.
Understanding the Linux page cache
(More details available in the disk IO section)
The page cache is the main disk cache used by the Linux kernel. In most cases, the kernel refers to the page cache when reading from or writing to disk. New pages are added to the page cache to satisfy User Mode processes's read requests. If the page is not already in the cache, a new entry is added to the cache and filled with the data read from the disk. If there is enough free memory, the page is kept in the cache for an indefinite period of time and can then be reused by other processes without accessing the disk.
Similarly, before writing a page of data to a block device, the kernel verifies whether the corresponding page is already included in the cache; if not, a new entry is added to the cache and filled with the data to be written on disk. The I/O data transfer does not start immediately: the disk update is delayed for a few seconds (unless an explicit fsync() is called), thus giving a chance to the processes to further modify the data to be written (in other words, the kernel implements deferred write operations).
Typically the kernel will use as much of the dynamic memory available to it for the page cache, only reclaiming page frames from the page cache peridically or as and when needed by a process or by newer pages that need to be written into the page cache. When the system load is low, the RAM is filled mostly by the disk caches and the few running processes can benefit from the information stored in them. However, when the system load increases, the RAM is filled mostly by pages of the processes and the caches are shrunken to make room for additional processes. Page reclaiming by default uses an LRU algorithm.
Read http://www.redhat.com/magazine/001nov04/features/vm/ for details on the lifecycle of a memory page
Understanding the PFRA
The objective of the page frame reclaiming algorithm (PFRA ) is to pick up page frames and make them free. The PFRA is invoked under different conditions and handles page frames in different ways based on their content.
The PFRA is invoked on one of the following -
The types of pages are as follows -
In the above table, a page is said to be mapped if it maps a portion of a file. For instance, all pages in the User Mode address spaces belonging to file memory mappings are mapped, as well as any other page included in the page cache. In almost all cases, mapped pages are syncable: in order to reclaim the page frame, the kernel must check whether the page is dirty and, if necessary, write the page contents in the corresponding disk file.
Conversely, a page is said to be anonymous if it belongs to an anonymous memory region of a process (for instance, all pages in the User Mode heap or stack of a process are anonymous). In order to reclaim the page frame, the kernel must save the page contents in a dedicated disk partition or disk file called "swap area" therefore, all anonymous pages are swappable
When the PFRA must reclaim a page frame belonging to the User Mode address space of a process, it must take into consideration whether the page frame is shared or non-shared . A shared page frame belongs to multiple User Mode address spaces, while a non-shared page frame belongs to just one. Notice that a non-shared page frame might belong to several lightweight processes referring to the same memory descriptor. Shared page frames are typically created when a process spawns a child or when two or more processes access the same file by means of a shared memory mapping
PFRA algorithm considerations:
Active vs inactive memory
The PFRA classifies memory into active and inactive. /proc/meminfo provides the current active and inactive memory. Here is an eg -
[root@server]# cat /proc/meminfo
This shows that active memory is 25 GB while inactive is 103 GB. Starting from Linux Kernel 2.6.xx onwards these functions are handled by pdflush and kswapd and the Page Frame Reclaiming Algorithm.
Linux maintains two lists in the page cache - the Active List and the Inactive List. The Page Frame Reclaiming Algorithm gathers pages that were recently accessed in the active list so that it will not scan them when looking for a page frame to reclaim. Conversely, the PFRA gathers the pages that have not been accessed for a long time in the inactive list. Of course, pages should move from the inactive list to the active list and back, according to whether they are being accessed.
Clearly, two page states ("active" and "inactive") are not sufficient to describe all possible access patterns. For instance, suppose a logger process writes some data in a page once every hour. Although the page is "inactive" for most of the time, the access makes it "active," thus denying the reclaiming of the corresponding page frame, even if it is not going to be accessed for an entire hour. Of course, there is no general solution to this problem, because the PFRA has no way to predict the behavior of User Mode processes; however, it seems reasonable that pages should not change their status on every single access.
The PG_referenced flag in the page descriptor is used to double the number of accesses required to move a page from the inactive list to the active list; it is also used to double the number of "missing accesses" required to move a page from the active list to the inactive list (see below). For instance, suppose that a page in the inactive list has the PG_referenced flag set to 0. The first page access sets the value of the flag to 1, but the page remains in the inactive list. The second page access finds the flag set and causes the page to be moved in the active list. If, however, the second access does not occur within a given time interval after the first one, the page frame reclaiming algorithm may reset the PG_referenced flag.
The active and inactive memory can be used to infer a bunch of stuff as follows -
Rough PFRA algo
Despite the PFRA effort to keep a reserve of free page frames, it is possible for the pressure on the virtual memory subsystem to become so high that all available memory becomes exhausted. This situation could quickly induce a freeze of every activity in the system: the kernel keeps trying to free memory in order to satisfy some urgent request, but it does not succeed because the swap areas are full and all disk caches have already been shrunken. As a consequence, no process can proceed with its execution, thus no process will eventually free up the page frames that it owns.
To cope with this dramatic situation, the PFRA makes use of a so-called out of memory (OOM) killer, which selects a process in the system and abruptly kills it to free its page frames. The OOM killer is like a surgeon that amputates the limb of a man to save his life: losing a limb is not a nice thing, but sometimes there is nothing better to do.
The out_of_memory() when the free memory is very low and the PFRA has not succeeded in reclaiming any page frames. The function selects a victim among the existing processes, then invokes oom_kill_process() to perform the sacrifice.
Of course the process is not picked at random. The selected process should satisfy several requisites:
One indicator of running into OOM is to look at the combination of free memory, Inactive memory and free swap in /proc/meminfo as explained below -
[user@server ~]$ cat /proc/meminfo
In the above example -
If your server ever has an issue where the OOM killer was activated you have seriously neglected your memory monitoring. This condition must NEVER take place on any server.
Using drop_cache
Check http://linux-mm.org/Drop_Caches to learn how to drop the page cache in Linux. You can experiment with this command in combination with the output of meminfo (Cached, Active memory, Inactive memory) and fincore to determine how much of your data store is typically loaded into cache within how much time and what portion of it is extremely active.
Measuring memory utilization
MEM | tot 126.0G | free 6.4G | cache 113.2G | dirty 924.9M | buff 394.7M | slab 1.8G
atop shows the system memory as a whole broken up as -
> cat /proc/meminfo
This file shows detailed virtual memory statistics from the kernel. Most of the counters explained below are available only if you have kernel compiled with VM_EVENT_COUNTERS config option turned on. That's so because most of the parameters below have no function for the kernel itself, but are useful for debugging and statistics purposes
[user@server proc]$ cat /proc/vmstat
Of the above the following are important -
[user@server ~]$ vmstat -a -S M 5
[user@server ~]$ vmstat -S M 5
vmstat shows the following memory related fields -
/proc - per process memory stats
[user@server ~]$ cat /proc/7278/status
[user@server ~]$ cat /proc/7278/statm
Table 1-2: Contents of the statm files (as of 2.6.8-rc3)
[user@server ~]$ cat /proc/7278/stat
Table 1-3: Contents of the stat files (as of 2.6.22-rc3)
[user@server ~]$ cat /proc/7278/smaps
smaps shows for each process the memory distribution for various libraries, data and programs and what portion of it is shared. for instance above I have snipped out two entries from postgres showing that the postgres executable is taking 2 MB of shared memory and the postgres internal cache is taking 2 GB of shared memory.
[root@server]# pmap -x 30850 | less
Mem: 132093140k total, 128645860k used, 3447280k free, 413200k buffers
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ SWAP CODE DATA nFLT nDRT COMMAND
top shows the following global memory related fields -
vmtouch is a great tool for learning about and controlling the file system cache of unix and unix-like systems. You can use it to learn about how much of a file is in memory, what files should be evicted from memory etc
Example 1
$ vmtouch /bin/
Example 2
So let's give the system a hint and evict a.txt from memory, making room for c.txt:
$ vmtouch -ve a.txt
Files: 1
fincore is a great tool that can be used to measure how much of a file is currently in the disk cache. This can be used to determine rough cache usage for an application.
root@xxxxxx:/var/lib/mysql/blogindex# fincore --pages=false --summarize --only-cached * stats for CLUSTER_LOG_2010_05_21.MYI: file size=93840384 , total pages=22910 , cached pages=1 , cached size=4096, cached perc=0.004365 stats for CLUSTER_LOG_2010_05_22.MYI: file size=417792 , total pages=102 , cached pages=1 , cached size=4096, cached perc=0.980392 stats for CLUSTER_LOG_2010_05_23.MYI: file size=826368 , total pages=201 , cached pages=1 , cached size=4096, cached perc=0.497512 stats for CLUSTER_LOG_2010_05_24.MYI: file size=192512 , total pages=47 , cached pages=1 , cached size=4096, cached perc=2.127660 stats for CLUSTER_LOG_2010_06_03.MYI: file size=345088 , total pages=84 , cached pages=43 , cached size=176128, cached perc=51.190476 stats for CLUSTER_LOG_2010_06_04.MYD: file size=1478552 , total pages=360 , cached pages=97 , cached size=397312, cached perc=26.944444 stats for CLUSTER_LOG_2010_06_04.MYI: file size=205824 , total pages=50 , cached pages=29 , cached size=118784, cached perc=58.000000
Optimizing memory usage
Optimizing memory usage consists of the following principles -
Ensure memory never runs out
This can be achieved as follows -
No swapping
Rare page faulting
Page faults will occur when a new process is forked or created or when an existing process requests for additional memory allocation. However these situations in a constantly running server should not be too high, and therefore you should see very rare page faulting on the server, especially major faults (minor faults are fine - they require no disk access. major faults may require some disk access)
Maximize disk cache hits for reads
Tuning disk cache
Refer to http://www.westnet.com/~gsmith/content/linux-pdflush.htm and http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-kernel-tuning-virtual-memory-subsystem/ for tips on tuning various parameters of pdflush and kswapd which control the page reclaim logic of your disk cache
Maximize disk cache merges for writes
If your application does not require to fsync() data immediately, you can gain a considerable performance boost out of the write-back nature of the disk cache. Most databases, mail servers etc fsync() on each write since they cannot afford to lose data. However, if you have created a custom data store, you may have a model wherein you write the same data onto multiple nodes synchronously. In this case all of the nodes do not need to fsync() the data, since a replica is available incase of a total node failure. In this situation the total number of writes will reduce since many updates will cancel previous writes and multiple writes can be merged together resulting in lesser IOPs which helps both incase of flash drives and SATA drives.

Fall is in the airPosted: March 16, 2017 Filed under: Access to information, Government Information, PrattSI, Teaching, Uncategorized Leave a comment
Winter is back with a vengeance, spring and summer seem far away, but at the School of Information we are all planning for the Fall 2017 semester. It will be interesting, challenging and probably very frustrating to teach Information Policy and Government Information this fall and will require many revisions to the existing curriculum as many policies are changing and sources are no longer available. More details and updated syllabi will be available this summer. I am off to a good start with the flyers created by our wonderful office assistant that so very accurately reflect the content of these two courses.
The People v. Edward SnowdenPosted: May 13, 2016 Filed under: PrattSI, Scholarly communication, Teaching Leave a comment
Students in my Information Policies and Politics course are preparing for their #infoshow16 presentation next week
We had a dress rehearsal during the last class, and as you can see from the photos, we were indeed dressed for the roles
We are divided into three groups:
Five students act as judge, jury and court recorders and they are also putting together the trial website.
We also have the Prosecution and Defense teams and of course Edward Snowden
The dress rehearsal ended in a hung jury and the judge declared a mistrial. During the #inforshow16 the audience acts as jury and will decide the outcome.
Is Edward Snowden guilty of
1.Theft of Government Property,
2.Unauthorized Communication of National Defense Information
3.Willful Communication of Classified Communications Intelligence Information to an Unauthorized Person
Have a sneak peek at the Prosecution questioning Snowden from here

Loosely translated: The value of ephemeraPosted: March 27, 2016 Filed under: Grey Literature, Libraries, Reference, Teaching Leave a comment
The March 18 print issue of the book reviews from the Israeli paper Ha'aretz, includes a few columns on the value, insights and lessons to be gleaned from what we tend to think of as ephemeral publications.
Ariana Melamed writes about telephone directories. In the young state of Israel (est. 1948) the wait for a telephone was 10-15 years and the directories of the first decade read like the social registry of Israeli society. It included the old guard and the names listed were those of judges, members of Knesset, physicians and others of the well-connected elite. Up until the mid 1960's it served as a who's who of Israeli society and could be used to track social mobility, gentrification and changes in family structure.
Yuval Albashan writes about public records, specifically foreclosure cases. He deconstructs the tedious legalize of these documents down to their essence: Mr. S and his family were evicted from their house for a debt of about $2100, which includes fines and eviction charges. Everything is by the book, all the paperwork accurate, everything follows the letter of the law. The legal fees to the state for this eviction are close to $7000. You do the math.
Udi Orman begins by reminiscing on Ernest Hemingway who (allegedly?) wrote a six-word story on a napkin in the Algonquin hotel (For sale: baby shoes, never worn) and then goes on to write in praise of notes in the pre-twitter age. The kind we used to leave parents (dad, wake me up at 5:30, I need to study for a math test) or roommates (I paid the phone bill, you owe me half). Some notes were more elaborate, like the micro writing on the crib sheets for the world history exam.
The strongest social statement is made by Vered Lee who describes the business cards to be found all over Tel-Aviv advertising the services of call-girls, massage parlors and similar businesses. She quotes Henri Bergson (who quote Un modéré par habitude, un libéral par instinct is part of my signature file) who said that chaos is order we can't see. Lee sees in these business cards proof to the silent institutionalizing of these services and protests the sharp contrast between illusion and reality. The prevailing color is pink, the images fairy-tale like, the language suggestive, and the solicitation indirect. And what is missing? No word on abuse, violence, depression, stigma, addiction, fatigue, malaise, and shorter than average life expectancy. Small pink business cards scattered all over the sidewalks, concealing the lives of the women who are really the ones out on the street.
As someone who teaches reference, I am well aware of the value of these publications, especially for future research. We regularly receive requests for high school yearbooks, business and telephone directories, old newspaper ads and more.

We are pleased to present to you a new edition of the Map Warper tutorial, created Dec. 2013 and uploaded March 2014.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to use the New York Public Library's Map Warper tool to bring the past into the digital present.
This tutorial will show you how to overlay historical maps onto present day locations by georectfying, or warping maps from the NYPL collection.
The Map Warper allows you to align an historical map with its contemporary counterpart.
Rectified maps can be useful for a variety of reasons. "They can be used to study the rate of population growth, or the effects of a natural disaster on the landscape, or maybe you just want to compare your present day neighborhood to what it looked like in the past" (Rossy Mendez & Eric Mortensen, 2014, unpublished map tutorial)
Rectifying maps contributes to the public domain. Once a map is rectified it becomes part of the NYPL rectified map collection and can be used and accessed by subsequent users.
The Map Waprer allows users to become urban archeologists using digital tools to dig into the past and connect it to the present.
This tutorial was created by Corina Bardoff, Leah Honor and Bill Levay, MLIS candidates at Pratt Institute, School of Information and Library Science. This project was as assignment for the course Information Services and Sources. The class partnered with the Map Division at NYPL to update their tutorial, which was very long (over 10min.) and outdated.
Working in groups of 2-4 students and using Camtasia, the class created eight tutorials. All were excellent in their own way and the competition was hard, but ultimately the good people at NYPL, led by Matt Knutzen selected this tutorial (See on NYPL website).
The assignment helped students demonstrate several of Pratt SILS program-wide student learning objectives, specifically in the area of
Communication – Students demonstrate excellent communication skills and create and convey content
Technology – Students use information technology and digital tools effectively
User-Centered Focus – Students apply concepts related to use and users of information and user needs and perspectives
LIS Practice – Students perform within the framework of professional practice
We are glad to have had this opportunity to work with NYPL and look forward to future collaborations.

Building A Museum Any Planner Could Love
"The museum is little more than a collection of photographs and maps chronicling the history of one of the nation's boldest efforts at urban planning. But its keepers hope to make it much more. With grants of up to $250,000 expected from Fairfax County in coming months, the museum's officers plan to renovate the space from top to bottom and bring alive the community's history."
"Tucked away in one of the leafier villages that surround Reston's more visible town center, the Reston museum attracts surprising traffic: about 12,000 visitors each year, Wingert said. Most are from other countries. And most are drawn to learn the story of the planned community that got started in 1961, when Simon, the son of a wealthy developer, used proceeds from the sale of a family property, Carnegie Hall, to buy 6,750 acres of Virginia farmland about 20 miles west of the District."

Great help for young american studying medicine career in Cuba. An d great help for needed people in Haiti
As a member of a Cuban American organization, Cuban Americans for Engagement (CAFE), I am keenly aware of the role MEDICC plays explaining within the US the strengths of the Cuban medical system. Because of its lack of resources, Cuba puts all its efforts into prevention. If you haven't already, listen to Gail Reed explain on the TED program where the world's doctors should be trained. It is in Cuba. http://www.ted.com/talks/gail_reed_where_to_train_the_world_s_doctors_cuba?language=en
By also helping U.S. disadvantaged youth study medicine in ELAM, the Cuban medical school, MEDICC is playing its part in the thawing of relations between the two nations.
Today (10/29/2014), in an unexpected move, the U.S. accepted Cuba's invitation and sent a CDC official to Havana to join the Caribbean and Latin American nations in a summit summoned last week to organize the hemisphere against the spread of ebola. Working together for the sake of global health, Cuba and the US are putting aside half a century of enmity. MEDICC was already on the ground.
Previous Stories
When Hurricane Sandy struck in Santiago de Cuba, destroying thousands of houses and leaving many more Cubans in dire need of medical supplies, MEDiCC was one of only two institutions that I was able to contact that was raising emergency funds for the stricken. Because of its ability to develop a relationship based on trust with the Cuban government, MEDICC was able to ship aid quickly where it was most needed.
I found out about MEDICC first, after watching movie Salud about ELAM. My wife immediately recognized bus from La Ceiba to Tokoa in Honduras which is passing through her village and later about Luther & Wendy - two students from the neighboring Garifuna village, who are ELAM alumni. Luther update was featured as well in the recent Gail Reed TED talk. MEDICC is essential not only with providing otherwise totally unknown ELAM achievements, but also helping Luther to deliver health care to remote Garifuna region in Honduras, where no other health professionals care to go.
I didn't know about MEDICC until the earthquake in Haiti. Then I started my monthly donation until now. I know it's not too much, but is the best i can do. i'm Cuban American and i think it is the best inversion that i ever did, not for profit, but for a better life for my people. I'm proud to be a donor and i congratulate MEDICC for what they do.

We're kicking off Election Day with great news: Dolores Huerta has endorsed our campaign!
Huerta is a lifelong advocate for working families and women's and civil rights. She embodies what this campaign is all about – working people and families fighting for a community that works for all of us.
It is a tremendous honor to have the support of a living legend like Dolores Huerta. And I hope you will join her along with the Affordable Housing Alliance, San Francisco Latino Democratic Club, Latin@ Young Democrats of San Francisco, SEIU California, the San Francisco Tenants Union and so many more in supporting my campaign for State Senate.
Do you know where you are voting today? Click here to find your voting location.
From my days as a community organizer, civil rights attorney, School Board President and Supervisor, I've been fighting for working families. I'm proud of the work I've done to raise the minimum wage, negotiate record levels of affordable housing and fight for stronger after school and early childhood education, but I know we need strong leaders in Sacramento to make sure that everyone has good opportunities.
As your next State Senator, I will continue to fight to make all basic job training in California community colleges free so more workers can lift themselves into the middle class. I'll also continue to fight to declare a statewide emergency on homelessness so the entire state is mobilized to help house the homeless.
I'm so thankful for Dolores Huerta's endorsement and for her work to create a more just society for everyone. Huerta's support for this campaign is emblematic of how important this race is for the future of the Bay Area. I'd be honored to have your vote today in order to continue fighting for a California that works for all of us.
Polls are open from 7:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. Make sure you vote at the polls today or if you still have your absentee ballot, drop it off at any polling place by 8:00 p.m. tonight or get it to the post office. Absentee ballots must be postmarked by June 7 and received by local county elections officials by June 10.

Confederacy of dunces at top
Sir -- I am glad that people of integrity, such as my late father and others, are not around to see how debased the standards of political life have become in the post-Celtic Tiger era when a well paid minister cannot pay for her own bag of crisps.
Furthermore, Gene Kerrigan (Sunday Independent, October 10) is right to ridicule the calls by Peter Sutherland and other 'fat cats' for drastic budget cuts when their private wealth is left intact.
The sad fact is that for many generations, people of intelligence went into the professions of law, medicine, and engineering; while the less intelligent went into banking. Politics, of course, has always attracted the rogues and scoundrels as well as those motivated by patriotism and altruism.

I started SAP World Yahoogroups on Sept 18, 2002 as a fun group for SAP Jobs. I did not contemplate that the SAP World Yahoogroup would cross a membership of 4700 people and active job postings.
The background of starting a job related yahoogroups was one of my friend was made redundant. He was working on some other ERP application. I thought if he had been associated with network of people, probably he would have got a job in a couple of days. So it motivated me to start a yahoogroups and promote it.
I have been moderating the group so that job postings are only related to SAP. This is will ensure quality of postings made and serious head hunters and job seekers view the messages and get benefited.
I request all the SAP Recruiters to participate in survey as it this will help to know the effectiveness of SAP World Yahoogroups.
The usage of internet had been so prevalent that everything happens without face to face meeting. This requires both SAP Recruiters and SAP Consultants to be prominently known on the internet.
Imagine, a SAP Recruiter calls and asks, "Do you know some who know SAP CRM ?" And you wonder....hmmm... hmmm .... I do not remember ? Job sites and Social Networking sites are paid websites and thus it limits the reach of SAP Recruiters to head hunt. Similarly some of the SAP Consultants and Contractors would not like to post their full details on Social Networking Sites.
Ideally everyone one wants to minimise the cost of recruitment and at the same time reach vast pool of consultants - free of cost. I found one website that is very promising and you do not write need to write more about yourselves. Create your profile on www.spock.com. Add tags "SAP Recruiter", "Country" if you are a headhunter, "SAP CRM Consultant", "SAP FICO Consultant", "Country" - if you a SAP Consultant - Domain Specialist.
See Profile of Cezar Maroti - SAP Recruiter
Use Spock Search to find SAP Consultants and filter it based on country. You will find people free of cost. This will be hybrid of Yahoogroups and Linkedin - search free of costs.
- SAP Recruiters can easily find SAP Consultants on Spock
- SAP Consultants / Contractors will be prominent in Marketplace
- Use Tags effectively to be prominently known.
- Personal Details very little
- Reference your work from various websites.
