to another hotel bar I discuss with Kelly the value of having a piano player
working a lounge. While hotel bars charge more for a drink than a standard bar,
they offer something most of those places don't have. We agree that a piano
player lends a room class, which makes patrons want to act better–more
mature, maybe even sophisticated. You want to dress better and be polite to
the person standing next to you. New York can always use more of that.

sits at the dark wooden bar sipping martinis and listening to Fields play. The
bar smells of fresh polish. The piano is in the dining area next to the bar,
called A Room with a View. Fields wraps up a set and sits in a booth, where
we join him. A waiter brings him a meal as we talk.

harp player during brunch," Fields notes. "Why should a prestigious
hotel like the Plaza be so demeaning and disgraceful as not to have music? At
a time like this when we're at war and getting over the World Trade Center
attack, music is a psychedelic medicine. It's needed to lift people up."

my sincerest compliments to Leona Helmsley for having live music at the Park

Theater. After that he was on his way. Some nights he had to brush on a mascara
mustache and wear a homburg to look older so he could get around the child labor

A few couples are finishing their meals. I observe the deep rich carpet, the
huge candelabra hung from the vaunted ceiling, the polished oak walls with gold-framed

need a sense of humor. People live longer when they have one. Also you should
count the blessings for what you have. And if you get into an argument change
the subject and the argument will usually end. Get into sports when you're
younger–swimming, walking, cycling. Then keep at it. Don't watch too
much tv. Learn to play a musical instrument, even if it's just as a hobby.

Park Lane and walk across to 5th Ave., passing an apartment building where three
ancient doormen mournfully sit gazing at the lobby floor. A block farther uptown
you can hear the huge Canadian and American flags flapping in the wind above
the entrance way of the Hotel Pierre. A uniformed doorman gets the door. We
pass through the quiet lobby to the back entrance of the Cafe Pierre. Down a
small set of marble steps–I almost trip over Joan Rivers, who's seated
there attentively listening to a woman sing and play piano.
Kelly tells me the singer's name is Kathleen Landis. She's been holding
court here for the last 17 years. I look around at the rapt audience of maybe
50, a friendly, older, well-coifed crowd. We order two beers as Landis purrs
into the mic that she's doing a seasonal program about "the romance
of dance, especially the music from the movies of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers."
the room up with "It's Wonderful" and, yes, "As Time Goes
By." The Cafe Pierre is a long room; the front is dedicated to the bar
and lounge, while the back has 20 tables for dining. A middle-aged couple gets
up and walk hand in hand to the dinning area, where they dance cheek to cheek
as Landis croons, "You must remember this…a kiss is still a kiss…a
sigh is just a sigh…" A goateed lounge lizard chats up a young woman
at the bar. He's telling her that he owns major property on some Caribbean
island Christopher Columbus sailed by during his 1492 voyage.

her parents weren't very musical they did sing and listen to all the old
standards of the 30s and 40s. The music rubbed off on her and she diligently

clubs there. I venture that I never knew that Detroit had supper clubs.

wanted–the Cafe Pierre–was auditioning new talent in 1985, and Landis

years since, Landis has worked the Pierre as the leader of a trio and with a
dance band, but since 1998 it's been just Landis and her piano.
I play, from the 30s and 40s, I connect to the elegance of what New York was,
and how sophisticated love was then. People today are missing out on the sophistication

they find it. I have a glamorous approach to the music."

who are devoted to me come out. I create a feeling like this is a private club.
I connect people here. I introduce those I know will get along or be right for
a possible romance, and I make them all a part of the room. I have introduced
couples who later married. Out there I can tell you 90 percent of the people's
names and what they do. Coming here is part of their New York existence. It
connects them to a lost tradition of New York. This room is truly what used
to be called cafe society."
what having live music does for a room like the Cafe Pierre.
music creates an ambience of sophistication. It separates clubs that don't
have it. Music creates nostalgia, and people connect to you so they can reconnect
to themselves and how they once felt. This is one of the places that makes New
York a small, classy town. Twenty years ago there were clubs all around–now
that is no more. People want that and miss it, and when they get it here they
keep coming. My audience is dedicated to me and I am dedicated to them. And
the wonderful thing about the Cafe Pierre is that I have never had to play bad
music here. They let me play what I want."

Pierre during the early days of his divorce. She tells me no. That figures,
I venture. Giuliani and a little night music don't mix. Landis tells me
former Gov. Hugh Carey "still stops in occasionally. He's one of my
pupils. I'm teaching him piano."
for Landis' next set. An attractive older couple, Mr. and Mrs. Bernie Gussoff,
asks me to sit with them for a moment. Bernie is a doctor by day, but in his
heart he's a jazzbo. Landis is his piano teacher; his wife says he keeps
getting better. Bernie tells me about his son's new restaurant, Red, on
W. 44th St., and his wife smiles at him like they're on their third date.
I meet an old newspaperman, Ned Sherman. He tells me how he got out of the print
racket years ago and went on to produce news shows for Channel 13. Sherman is
cruising into his 70s–and still cruising the city on a Saturday night.
"I always start the night downtown, and then I bring them all uptown with
me." He excuses himself to sit at a table. I also talk to Edward Jones
Jr., a top officer at Nextel. I peg him for a 10021 blueblood, and we both get
a laugh when he tells me he grew up in the Bronx and went to Cardinal Hayes
and CUNY.

Series Preview: Cubs at Washington
At last, a four game series the Cubs should sweep!
The Cubs kick off the second half in our nation's capital, where they take on the modern-day lovable losing Washington Nationals. (It's hard not to love this team, on pace for well over 100 losses, who can't even spell their names right on their jerseys!)
Anyway, have you ever noticed how sometimes a player's first half will be like night and day compared with his second half? I've always thought it was a bit mysterious that it happens -- but it does happen. I can think of one or five Cub players who would love to have that happen to them this season.
In the meantime, Goat Rider Yarbage will be at the games, camera in hand. He's promised to take pictures and add to the Game Recaps the kinds of details that you can't get from watching it on TV or -- lord forbid -- following along via internet feed and/or radio.
The Zambran-0-Meter
you may have noticed it hasn't been updated in a while. I'm actually re-working it completely. It will soon be known as the Zambran-0-Meter of Diminished Expectations and will only go to 90. Stay tuned for that.
Thursday, July 16th - Rich Harden vs. John Lannan
Rich Harden. Oh, how the heart weeps. Last year you were an ace, an unstoppable force on the mound whose tendons and sinew muscles could not stand up to the force fo your unnaturally nasty stuff. Except this year you've ... well, you've kinda sucked ass. I'm not sure why you would be the first guy out of the gate, but if there's a team you'll dominate it will hopefully be the Nationals. P.S. -- be careful not to float too many meatballs to Dunn.
John Lannan, known in some circles as "creepy brows" appears to be your run-of-the-mill below-avearge pitcher with an unsual-for-his-talent ERA mixed with a typical-because-of-the-team-he-pitches-for mediocre record of 6-6. This is his second full season in the bigs -- and last year he posted a 3.91 ERA with a 9-15 record and only 117 strikeouts to 72 walks in 182.0 innings of work.
Friday, July 17th - Carlos Zambrano vs. Scott Olsen
Carlos has it rough. "An ace with only 5 wins?" people cry. Actually the lack of wins isn't really upsetting -- I mean, not sure if you noticed, but the Cubs haven't exactly been breaking records this year. The only thing that concerns is his continued battle with good mechanics. He has the tendency to drop his arm slot, lose velocity, compensate by pitching harder (without actually using his legs), resulting in tendonitis and injuries. I'm not sure if the Big Moose just doesn't listen to Larry or if Larry just doesn't know how to keep Zambrano consistent, but either way Carlos will be better-served if he can figure it out fast.
Scott Olsen is another National lefty, this one with a mid 6 ERA new to Washington this season via the Marlins. He's probably your run-of-the-mill #5 starter, posting a career ERA of 4.77 and a solitary winning season back in 2006.
Saturday, July 18th - Theodore Roosevelt Lilly vs. Jordan Zimmermann
Lilly, 9-6, is at the peak of his tradability. Then again the Cubs definitely won't be dealing him so long as they are within shooting distance of the division -- whether we think they'll actually achieve the Central crown or not.
Zimmermann has an amusingly-spelled name. He's also managed all of 3 wins in 15 starts this season, his rookie year, meaning that he and Randy Wells could probably share with each other heart-breaking stories of blown leads and no run-support. Regardless, he's actually half-decent -- his ERA is 4.50, but he's got 84 strikeouts and only 28 walks in his 15 starts. If he can cut the hits down and limit the homeruns, the Nationals might have their next ace.
Sunday, July 19th - Randy Wells vs. Garrett Mock
This is actually guess work on my part. ESPN does not have Sunday's starter posted on their site. But based on how long it will have been between starts and the other guy in the rotation (Kevin Hart), Wells appears the likeliest candidate to pitch. I'm still amused by how long it took him to win his first game, and how he then won games 1-4 in rapid succession.
Garrett Mock is the listed starter for Washington, although he hasn't started a game all year long. He's got an ERA of 6.92, he's walked 8 to 6 strikeouts, and if he indeed is the Sunday starter then I like the Cubs' chances.
As far as opening series go, the Cubs probably couldn't have asked for better opponents than the Nationals. Washington is presently on pace to lose 114 games, putting them in a legendary category of suck. Even the Cubs, who have been losing up a storm this year, should do well.

A six-pack of notes and observations after watching a week's worth of Patriots training camp practices and trying to pick the 53-man roster. By our overly conservative estimate, 38 spots are locked up, leaving 52 players battling for 15 spots:
1. The wide receiver competition is clearly the No. 1 battle to watch as Tom Brady searches for his new favorite targets. This seems like an "all hands on deck" year when the Patriots keep six receivers, plus a couple more on the practice squad. Who knows if the rookies can handle the rigors of a 16-game season, plus playoffs?

The Shingles Pantry Cabinet by Field Day
Is this not the coolest stand-alone pantry cabinet you've ever seen? I keep trying to think of another pantry cabinet that's as cool as this one. Thinking...thinking... nope. I've got nothin'.
Designed by Texas-based design firm Field Day and selling for a cool $1,900, the Alabaster Shingles Pantry is made of a solid maple frame covered in Western Red Cedar shingles. As Field Day writes, "The natural variance in the shingles gives the piece depth while maintaining a warmth that seems to shimmer."
Sadly, I won't be purchasing this piece anytime soon, but I can fervently admire it from afar.
Buy It! The Alabaster Shingles Pantry, $1,900 from Field Day

(Images: Field Day)
12 Comments
These are great, but my question is why would you pay $1900 for something that looks fairly simple to make and put together yourself? Seems a bit high for a pantry cabinet, don't you think?
If you look at Field Day's site, the cabinet is six feet tall. Something of that size, quality (solid maple) and with individually cut cedar shingles is certainly worth that price. And it's definitely comparable to pieces I've seen lately. I just moved into a new house, so I've been looking at LOTS of furniture... this may have to be my next purchase...
For that size and the materials, I don't fault them for the pricetag although it's out of my budget as well.
I really like this though, and am thinking about modifying a used cabinet or an IKEA product to create a budget version. If someone can find a retail supplier for the shakes this could be a great DIY!
Certainly a fair price for that kind of craftsmanship but I, too, smell and Ikea hack in the offing.
That is a cool idea and I can see an imagine a great Ikea hack! I would want to paint the shingles
these remind me of Owl's home from Mr. Roger's Neighborhood
I've tried to find an online supplier of non-dollhouse sized shingles or panels, no luck so far.
Sorry, but I think it's a bit hideous. If I was going to spend $1,900 on a stand-alone cabinet, I'd get a solid wood one with fancy glass doors!
I came to this post intending to respond by saying, no this is not the coolest stand-alone pantry cabinet I've ever seen. However, after seeing the $1,900 price tag I find this rather insulting. I could made one that looks better than that with under $100 of materials in an afternoon. Great design? No. True craftsmanship? No. Ridiculous price. Of course. A fool and his money are soon parted indeed.
This is not to my taste, but it does have a certain charm.
And for all you would-be Ikea Hackers, the operative term seems to be "fancy butt shingles"
Fancy butt...cute!!!
how cute would an entire kitchen island be in this type of finish while the rest of the cabinets were simple modern white or plain wood?

TEAMS: Washington Redskins, Pittsburgh Steelers, Carolina Panthers, Baltimore Ravens
In the stock market, much like fantasy football, you want to buy low and sell high. Using that philosophy, is it now time to consider trading Washington Redskins rookie QB Robert Griffin III? I believe it is. Griffin has had a remarkable run as a rookie, showing exceptional promise for his career, but it's time to maximize his performances on the field and cash in by trading the rookie of the year candidate. RG III faced an aging Dick LeBeau run Pittsburgh Steelers defense on Sunday and turned in his worst performance of the season. Trading RG III is not a direct reflection on his ability, but rather his disappearing supporting cast. His lack of weapons are impacting his play on the field and the schedule coming up for the Redskins is pretty fierce. This might be the week to trade Griffin. He has a contest which is favorable against the Carolina Panthers before heading into a bye. Off the bye, things get tough for the rookie. Two games against the Eagles, two divisional games agains...

in Max 5 we were allowed to get the audiotrack from a quicktime.mov into a buffer via read / import / replace.
in Max 6 this procedure is taken out. that makes me sad …
or am I missing something? in my file dialogue all .mov files in a folder are greyed out
is there a workaround ?
[exporting the movies to audio and process them in a separate workflow is not an option; neither can I go with spigot, that never was to trust anyway ...]

I searched on the MBUSA website and I cannot find the link for the 32-64 bit viewer. Do you have this? this inablity to use my StarTek disk is driving me crazy thanks.

Welcome to Facing North!
Welcome to one of the largest collections of reviews of neopagan/Spiritual/New Age oriented books, music, and other items of interest to our community. My wonderful team of reviewers and I have been writing reviews for many years now, and we love it.
Opened on October 31, 2006 with just over 200 reviews, Facing North is -- first and foremost -- a community resource. We ended that year with more than double our opening number of reviews (500+). Although we slowed our growth, 2007 ended with our database at more than 600 records, 2008 saw us at 900 and we edged over 1,000 by the end of 2009. We accept previously published reviews, and articles and reviews from alternative practitioners. It is my goal to make Facing North the largest repository of alternative spirituality reviews on the Internet.
We are committed to creating a practical site with honest opinions that are fair, even when critical. I welcome your feedback and suggestions to improve this site, one that everyone in our diverse community can use. Just email me at: lisa_at_facingnorth_dot_net (with appropriate edits).
Once again: Welcome to Facing North!
August 2014 Update

- Written by Lisa Mc Sherry
Greetings and Salutations!
I was surprised, and delighted when one of my reviewers pointed out that we'd been used as a reference of sorts in Ocha'ni Lele's Osogbo – Speaking to the Spirits of Misfortune. It seems that our work is being noticed. Congratulations are due to my Review Circle!
This is an energetically busy time of year. Many of us are getting one last vacation in with loved ones, or doing one last fun thing before school starts. Work tends to be a bit permissive about short Fridays and call-in-sick Mondays (as long as your overall productivity is being maintained). For me, the last days of summer usually herald an enormous outburst of creativity and accomplishment. Projects that have languished on my 'to do' list for as long as years will suddenly get done in the space of weeks. New projects will spring forth from my mind, fully formed and planned like some mythological daughter (and so my to do list never actually gets emptied, just rolls onward like a marvelous Sisyphean boulder).
At the same time, the days are still long, and hot, and all we really want to do is lie around and relax, perhaps with a cold drink. If that's more your speed, we've got a nice collection of items reviewed for you to peruse this month.

I picked up this palette when it was on sale after Christmas. I wasn't really sure what I was getting honestly, but I have had really good experiences with Victoria's Secret Brand eyeshadows so far. The palette is mostly neutral/smoky eye based which works fine for me. It has just enough shades to give yourself a pop of color with your usual smokey look. Personally, I like that look better, I feel it looks edgier & more fun. This palette has zero matte shades though so if that's all you wear, its not for you! All of these shades are satins/shimmers.
So far, I find these shades very wearable. I can see this being an easy palette to transfer from day to night. The taupes & neutrals would make great day looks, even for a professional. Then we have the gold & silver for a metallic look. Browns for a natural or smoky eye. Colors that can be used on their own or separately. See where I'm going with this?
A few had a little bit of fallout when swatched with my finger, but not in a bad way. The reason I had fallout at all was because they were satin & on the lid they blend beautifully.
The blush & bronzer are alright. Overall I love the subtle shimmer which give it more of a "glow" look. The bronzer is too orange for my skin tone & when blended it made me look near deathly. The blush is a really pretty shade though. I normally don't reach for "pop out" extras like these, but I guess that's not their fault right?
I'm pleased with this palette, especially since I rarely buy Victoria's Secret eyeshadows outside of singles & duos. This means I probably will look into buying some more!The only thing I wasn't crazy about was it was kind of hard to open & super static-y. Random? You bet! But I hate when dust is literally drawn to something I need to keep clean!
Do you ever buy Victoria's Secret brand makeup? Have you had some duds?

BROWNWOOD ŌĆö The Big Spring Steers had reason to worry when Brownwood jumped out to an 11-2 lead in the first quarter.
Head coach Cliff Thompson said it reminded him of the Levelland game when that team made eight consecutive shots to start the game.
But just like in that Levelland game, the Steers withstood the early run and this time, they ended up with a huge 66-56 win at Brownwood to open district play.
Coahoma boys
COLORADO CITY ŌĆö Coahoma head coach Kim Nichols said Colorado City was solid on defense and FridayŌĆÖs game proved just that.
The Bulldogs dropped a District 3-2A road game at Colorado City 54-26, giving them their fourth district loss of the season.
Nichols said his team had a good first half, but the Bulldogs werenŌĆÖt able to pull it all together for four quarters. They were only down by six at the half. A 21-point third from the Wolves didnŌĆÖt help Coahoma, though.
The Bulldogs get their first crack at Denver City on Tuesday as the second half of district play approaches.

The Drug Users Resource Centre, the Downtown Eastside non-profit famous for housing Canada's first crack pipe vending machine, is also behind what may well be North America's first program teaching severe alcoholics how to brew their own beer and wine.
Mark Townsend, director of the Portland Hotel Society, a publicly funded agency which operates the centre, says the idea is to keep Vancouver's homeless alcoholics from turning to "rubbish" sources of alcohol like hand sanitizer or mouthwash. "We do know that it's better that people don't drink rubbing alcohol," he said.

Heavy measures: Overdose risk as methadone in B.C. gets stronger
By Garth Mullins, with files from Lisa Hale
Methadone is about to become 10 times stronger in B.C., a change that could put unsuspecting users at risk of overdose or even death, according to concerned community health advocates.
Methadone is a highly regulated, strong narcotic used to treat addiction to opiates, like heroin, Oxycontin and Fentanyl. Starting February 1, it will be dispensed in a 1mg/1ml cherry-flavoured syrup, rather than the current 1mg/10ml orange Tang-like liquid. Unbeknownst to many, that change marks a 10-fold concentration increase. The new product, called Methadose, also resembles children's medication, which increases the risk of accidental digestion.
The College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC, which administers methadone prescription, has warned of a "public safety risk until all stakeholders are informed." The College of Pharmacists of BC warned of "a greater impact as a result of measurement error." Even a small error of only 1ml in prescribing or dispensing will have 10 times the effect.
An addictions specialist, who asked not to be identified, shared a document provided to her by the BC College of Physicians and Surgeons. The document advises doctors to "consider providing patients who may be at risk of overdose with Nalaxone." Nalaxone, also known as Narcan, is a fast-acting medication for emergency use when someone overdoses. The doctor said she was "floored" by the notion that this change to a stronger methadone is so risky that doctors are advised to send patients home with overdose medication.

About the Department
Conceived in the new millennium and established in 2002, the Department of Asian & Asian American Studies is among the youngest on the Stony Brook campus. Rooted in the premise that America's involvement in Asia is expected to be of paramount importance to the long-term national interests of the US in the 21st Century, the Department offers an interdisciplinary curriculum which seeks to instill an awareness of issues relating to Asia and Asian-Americans through education and research in Asian languages, cultures and societies, literature and arts, philosophies and religions, histories and politics, environment and science. Our programs are designed to prepare students to be caring and competent citizens of a global community, in which Asia is playing an increasingly important role, through a study of the processes at work in the transformation of Asian societies in their homeland settings as well as Asian-American societies in the U.S.
The Department started functioning fully in 2003 and it has already carved an enviable reputation for itself as being among a select few in the US that integrates the study and teaching of Asian & Asian American issues. We offer two majors (Asian & Asian American Studies and Religious Studies), and six minors (China Studies, Japan Studies, Korean Studies, South Asian Studies, Asian & Asian-American Studies and Religious Studies). With some 50 courses offered every semester and nearly 25,000 students enrolled in these courses in the past seven years, the popularity of our courses is self-evident.
We have just added undergraduate teacher education programs in Chinese and Japanese leading to New York State initial teaching certification, preparing qualified teachers of Asian languages. Our Department will provide the content core courses for teacher certification. Our Study Abroad programs provide a unique opportunity for immersion in the languages and cultures of China, India, Japan and Korea A Graduate program in Asian Studies is planned for Fall 2011, to be followed up with an Interdepartmental Doctoral Program with a clear departmental focus but using an inter-disciplinary approach.
Vision for the Future
The Department will continue to strive for excellence in creating awareness about the social, political, economic, and environmental issues that are challenging Asia in the 21st century. The US' increasing involvement with, and in, Asia will require competent people trained in languages and transnational perspectives on philosophy, history, culture, and social structure. Our aim is to prepare students for professional success outside the academy as well as within it, offering training in cross-cultural communication, leadership skills, and practical experience in trans-national work and interaction in Asia as well Asian-related settings in the US. Though course offerings currently focus on East, South and Southeast Asia based on the core competencies of the small but highly-dedicated faculty endowed with multidisciplinary capabilities, our vision for the future encompasses coverage of the remaining areas of Asia, including notably, Central Asia, which is acquiring increasing strategic importance after the end of the Cold War.

text: The Catit Drinking Fountain from ThinkGeek recirculates and filters your cat or small dog's drinking water. The recirculation helps cool the water, and some say running water is more attractive for pets. The filtration removes water impurities and bad tastes and the bits of food and hair that always seems to be floating in the water bowl. A plastic guard for the cord prevents chewing and keeps the cord dry. There's even a side bowl for some food. It holds 100 oz (3 liters), so it's more than enough water for the hours you're at work. ThinkGeek says it's for cats, but the Catit would also work for smaller dogs. The Catit Drinking Fountain is $52.99.

Taliban claims fuel supply bombing
Jul 19 2012
The Taliban said it detonated a bomb on a fuel tanker and then opened fire on other Nato supply trucks, destroying 22 vehicles loaded with fuel and other goods for US-led coalition forces in Afghanistan.
Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid claimed the early morning attack in Samangan province in the north.
Sidiq Azizi, a spokesman for the province, said many tankers and trailers caught fire after the bomb went off. By noon, heavy black smoke still poured from the Rabatak area of the province where the truckers had stopped to rest. Firefighters were spraying water on the burning vehicles.
Mr Azizi said: "There was a big boom. It's possible that is was a magnetic bomb from insurgents. We are investigating. I counted 20 fuel tankers burning. There is still a very big fire. The weather is very hot and it's hard to get close to the fire."
The tankers in the convoy were transporting fuel south toward the Afghan capital, Kabul, from neighbouring Uzbekistan to the north.
Earlier this week, three Nato supply trucks were destroyed by militants in Sayd Abad district of Wardak province in eastern Afghanistan. Convoy traffic in the east has become heavier since Pakistan reopened its border crossings about two weeks ago. Islamabad blocked Nato supply trucks for seven months in retaliation for US air strikes that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers.

Moxi & Reverse Proxy
I am testing Couchbase for Memcached use to see if we can use it for our application.
To keep all code simple, I prefer to use a local client moxy, so all code contains 'localhost'.
Since the amount of servers we use will be growing, I don't want to keep adding servers to the moxi config.
The Couchbase documentation says:
The "Gold Standard" best practice (if you have the flexibility) is to put the Couchbase host URLs behind a http reverse-proxy, so that all the client-side Moxi's can be more easily configured with a "stable" URL which can handle cluster changes without having to touch each client-side Moxi like..
Does this mean, I have to cofigure the moxi with 2 (failover) 'stable' ip's on which a server runs that outputs the couchbase servers?
What must be the output of the rev proxies?
Thanks for your advice.
This is not required. You can simply run moxi with multiple IP addresses in it's configuration. The reverse proxy is merely a way to keep from having to restart many moxis if your cluster topology changes. Instead, you'd update your configuration only at the reverse proxy.
Thank you for your reply.
I was aware that it is not required, however, we are expecting a sudden and exponential growth.
To keep it manageble we would like to use the reverse proxy option, but I haven't found any instructions as to how this must be done.
Any reverse proxy of your choice is okay. You'll just want to be sure that it support HTTP chunked (sometimes called HTTP streaming) connections for long periods of time. You will be able to handle the sudden growth in either case, as momentary outages of moxi (usually less than a second) don't often cause serious issues so you can add more URIs to the list for moxi if need be.
Thanks again for taking the time to respond.
Are there any details what the reverse proxy must output?
I haven't fount example configs yet.

Panthers Play To Scoreless Draw With #24 South Carolina
MILWAUKEE, Wis. (Aug. 17, 2012) - Jamie Forbes made eight saves to lead the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee women's soccer team to a scoreless draw against 24th-ranked South Carolina Friday evening at Engelmann Stadium.
The Panthers, who are receiving votes in the NSCAA National Poll, picked up their eighth result all-time against a ranked opponent and sixth tie. The game was the season-opener for both teams and the first for UWM under new head coach Greg Henschel.
After a bit of a slow start, Milwaukee went right at the Gamecocks, playing with more confidence as the game went on. SC looked to use its size to dictate the pace of play, but over time the Panthers wrestled away momentum and carried it through much of the match.
Forbes came up big with the help of a rebuilt defensive line in front of her. Emily Scott was a starter all last season and was joined in the opening lineup over the final four games by Stephanie Condon on the outside. In the opener, the duo was joined Hannah Kaul and Caity Bestwina to form a solid group.
A couple highlight saves for the senior keeper came in the 32nd and 84th minutes. The first save was on a close-range header. Then, late in regulation, South Carolina looked like it may have a break on goal, as Danielle Au had a clean shot on goal stopped by Forbes. Au got her own rebound, but a Panther defender stepped up to block the shot from just outside the six-yard box.
While the defense may have been the story for UWM, the offense was not without its chances. Kaul had a strong header off a corner kick sail over the bar, but the highlight of the night came shortly after Au's opportunity. Vienna Behnke received a ball from the midfield and played a beautiful, one-touch pass into the box freeing Kelly Lewers for a clean shot on goal. Unfortunately, the shot was straight at the keeper.
Darien Vercillo matched Forbes in goal for the Gamecocks. She made three saves for a shutout of her own.
Au had a game-high six shots for SC, while Taylor Leach finished with five shots. For the Panthers, Lewers led the way on offense with four shots.
Milwaukee returns to action Sunday, hosting St. Bonaventure. Kick-off is scheduled for noon at Engelmann Stadium.

What Are Good Spices For Grilled Fish?
Good Questions
Q: I am going to be staying in a small fishing village in Mexico for one week. I will get to purchase fresh fish daily directly from the fishermen and grill them. I want to bring some good spices with me on this trip. What would you recommend, either individual spices or some blends?

Editor: Readers, what spices do you like with grilled fish?

old bay seasoning
Vadouvan curry
I would try whatever the people there told me they enjoyed. Maybe you'll discover some new fabulous way to season/cook your fish.
Recently made blackened cod with a blend of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, thyme and cayenne. It was to die for. I'm so jealous of the question-asker, that sounds like heaven. You should definitely do ceviche once or twice too :)
Salt and pepper, of course, and Herbs for Fish from Provence.
I'd go local. I'd go to the street market in whatever town you're in and look around. If nothing else it's a great excuse to spend some time in the market.
I'd try things like Epazote. Mexican oregano, Chile powders, cocoa cinnamo
Old bay is my go-to, but I like the suggestion of finding local items to use from a street market. Have fun!
White Miso Paste. Thin it out with some alcohol (like tequilla, rice wine or white wine) or water and smear it on fish and vegetable.
Local! Try achiote paste and lime juice, tomatillo salsa, local hot sauces, sea salt, pepper and lime. IMO no need to carry spices, instead bring some home...
try this recipe. It works well on grill. http://7th-taste.com/2011/09/11/vietnamese-style-pollock-with-ginger-liqueur/
I agree with SeattleJ-- go local. Use fresh herbs and citrus-- such great flavors to compliment seafood!
This is a great method for cooking seafood this way: http://and-here-we-are.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/cooking-seafood-at-beach-easy-tidy-way.html
Basil, Bay Leaf, Cardamom, Cilantro, Allspice, Dill, Fennel, Garlic, Ginger, Paprika, Parsley, Rosemary, Sage and Thyme. Then there are all the spice/seasoning mixes: Tony Cs Creole, Chinese Five Spice, Herbes de Provence, Blackened Spice, etc.
Honey or Dijon mustard mixed with maple syrup. (yes, odd combo; really good on fish)
Penzey's Lamb Seasoning
Penzey's Northwoods (not the Fire one)
Fines Herbes Blend
Citrus blends or check an old Joy of Cooking for the citrus salad dressings, and also marinades.
Plus one for local. But it couldn't hurt to stow away a bottle of something just in case you can't get to the market that first day. Have fun! Mexican mercados are the BEST.
Try making this taco seasoning blend for mahi mahi tacos ahead of time. You can just mix the spices together and bring them in a jar. Pretty tasty.
If the fish is freshly caught, direct from the fishermen, then I always think that the simplest treatment is best. I like the way fish is prepared in Greece, and other Mediterranean countries - simply grilled, an olive oil and lemon dressing on the side, accompanied with some chopped red onions and parsley. No overpowering spices or condiments necessary.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I just hope this doesn't bring about too much homogenization. But then, I've ALWAYS played as I've wanted to so it's never been an issue for me. It's the mages around me who change specs every patch to suite whatever they felt was the "best."
They seem to be making too much of the current talents into "everyone can have one" talent. Fire, for example, loses Blast Wave, Dragon's Breath, Scorch, and Cauterize. And LB becomes available for everyone. I was glad to hear that the overall rotation mechanics (combustion, ignite, hot-streak) will remain in place, I hope that it, and other specs, don't lose what makes each feel unique and play differently.
I've always loved played my spec (fire, if you couldn't tell) and have never loved it more than I do during Cataclysm when it FELT different. We were all about DoTs, AoEs, and even the RNG element made if feel different. We were crit dependent. But when it hit right and we were able to get off a great Combustion, it felt awesome. Plus the rotation is varied enough to keep me very interested. It is unpredictable, and when the crits aren't proccing often, it's not as fun but it makes the ones that ARE great even better . . . and they happen with enough frequency that in the end, it probably evens out - but that's what makes it exciting, to me anyway. While the arcane mages didn't have the variety, when they hit hard, they hit VERY hard and I'm guessing that's what made it fun.
The few times I go into a battleground, I do so, still as fire (with a few talent points moved around). Yes, I'm Fire/Fire, because I love the way it plays. I die quickly and can't snare and frustrate the opponents as frost can, but I'm the one with the living bomb. I'm the one that can hit them with disabling AoEs over and over (well, when cooldowns are available). I'm not GOOD at pvp but bringing the tools of the spec that I love makes it fun on the occasions that I feel like doing pvp.
I imagine that if I liked playing frost, I'd do it no matter what because I liked what it was capable of, not because its spells were blue rather than orange. I now recommend it for people who want the survivability and snare potential, especially for pvp.
I understand that, for the competitive raider, thing have to be more "equal" but I think that has more to do with player behavior / reaction than the overall design. As Christian pointed out in past columns, the damage output between the three spec, while different, probably wasn't different enough to handicap one spec over another. It's just that people want to be the "best" and raid leaders see what the top raiders on this or that server spec as, and insist that that's what everyone do. This is the sort of thing that's caused them to re-evaluate the current system in the first place.
I just hope that each spec doesn't become the same with different color spells. I like that each spec FEEL different (or I imagine it does . . . I only play fire), with different advantages (and even disadvantages) that each one brings. Perhaps there should have been more fights where the survivability/snares of frost would have made it an advantageous spec . . . I don't know.
I hope the next expansion keeps my spec (and all mage specs) unique and fun. I don't want them to be so interchangeable that the choice doesn't matter. It SHOULD matter. It should feel different and play differently. We shouldn't all have the same spells. (the main nuke doesn't matter . . . I never use frostbolt now anyway, and haven't had use for Arcane Blast . . . well . . . ever).
I guess it's natural to worry about the unknown. But I hope it will be not only good but better than we have, not worse. I want to keep loving playing my mage and keep loving the spec that I've played for years. During Wrath, I loved playing both my mage AND Warlock. But something happened . . . and I can't even put my finger on it, but I don't really enjoy playing my lock much anymore since Cataclysm. She's relegated to mostly picking flowers. I don't want to feel that way about my FAVORITE class.
I agree with EVERYTHING you said, about the fire spec love, about using it in PVP (on those rare occasions that I PVP) even though it's not supposed to be the PVP spec, about not enjoying my warlock alt as much in Cataclysm for some undefinable reason...everything.
I've been fire since vanilla--even raided MC and BWL as fire, gimpy though I was, because I loved it that much and I was in a casual/understanding/cool guild. I briefly flirted with an arcane spec during ICC because everyone told me I should, but it just wasn't the same, and I never got the feel for it.
I'm now fighting fire with fire in the Firelands (could I use the word "fire" more times in that sentence? Oops, I just did...) and loving my spec as much as ever. I love the AOE, I love the explosions, I love the waves of flame setting my enemies ablaze... Fire for life!
I agree, but I'm frost. Because I love the control. I don't care if I do slightly less DPS because of it. I love that feeling of being "untouchable". I can go out, gather up 15 mobs, and AOE them down without them ever even breathing on me and I like it. Of course, it only works on melee, but it's still fun and what ttracted me to the spec (and the class even) to begin with.
If they remove the majority of the control from frost, it's like removing the durability from bear or the hots from restos. It's what defines the spec, and while I'll be glad to see frost finally be truly raid viable, if it's at the cost of my control, I'll be sadly shelving my mage.
I don't want to be "that guy" who threatens to quit whenever a change I don't like comes my way, but I just don't think the devs understand how much some frost mages love the utility. If I wanted to melt faces I'd go fire. I want to freeze, control, and shatter. I want to be a frost mage.

She didn't entirely scuttle Alberta's hopes for a Canadian Energy Strategy but she certainly took the wind out of Alberta's sails.
In a dramatic – but not unexpected – showdown at the annual premiers' conference on Friday, British Columbia Premier Christy Clark refused to sign on to a national energy strategy championed by Alberta Premier Alison Redford.
"Until we see some progress in the discussions between British Columbia, Alberta and the federal government with respect to the Gateway pipeline through British Columbia, we will not be participating in a discussion of a national energy strategy," Clark told reporters during an impromptu news conference held while her fellow premiers were still upstairs talking.
"Alberta has to be willing to sit at the table with British Columbia and talk about how we're going to share the benefits of this project for our province."
While Clark was basking in the media spotlight, Alberta officials ...

… and while we're already on the subject of my itinerary: my first stop (after the two day stop over in Abu Dhabi, where I'll visit my uncle and his family) on the trip is going to be Bangkok. As you've surely have heard, Bangkok has been the victim of political riots. Here's the hasty run-down on why people are actually protesting, stolen from BBC News:
Many of the protesters come from Thailand's rural north and northeast. They benefited from the populist policies Mr Thaksin framed during his five years in power – such as on health and education – and many of them want him back.
Others are urban intellectuals who want to see more democracy and less military influence in the country.
These various constituencies make up the anti-government United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD), and are known for wearing distinctive red shirts.
The red-shirts say Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva came to power illegitimately and is a puppet of the military. They want Mr Abhisit to resign and call fresh elections.
Please read more about it here. If you want to stay up to date, check out the Bangkok Post.
As for my travel plans, well, I'm sure as hell not going to change anything about my decision to see Bangkok. I am a bit worried that the riots will have escalated by October into a grown up civil war, but I guess I won't be able to change anything about it right now. I am hoping that it will go back to normal by the time we're there. Fellow travelers have been posting pictures and articles about the current situation- though it apparently doesn't make for a relaxed family vacation right now, it should be relatively safe if you don't go into the red zones.
That said, the US embassy (and probably most other embassies) have issued a travel warning. The embassies in town are closed down (though I just read that they have opened up emergency locations), so if you lose your passport you're all on your own. The firings are deadly and even foreign media has been affected. Be careful should you defer your
travels to other places in Thailand: most of the north seems to be occupied by the riots. Here are the regions that have been listed in the above mentioned travel warnings:
The Big Picture released some stunning photography in todays issue. It seems very unreal and intimidating- kind of like what we watched when the protests in Iran rose up. I keep telling myself that it probably can't get worse than the First of May protests here in Berlin, but seeing those pictures I might just change my mind about that…

Yesterday was Hourly Comics Day, in which you draw a comic for every hour of the day you're awake. Here is mine.
LOVE IT! You should have a journal comic
Jen, I can't express to you how much I absolutely adore this. You are so brilliant and talented. Please make more journal comics, and send them all to meeeee!
I should do this sometime! Also, Im sooo glad Im not the only one who has yogurt with my oatmeal!!!! 8,D
Your hourly comics are so full of whimsy. 12 and 1PM crack me up. At first glance, I thought those were rubber ducks in the toilet. I was like, "What? Why would there be…? Ohhhhh, haha!"
Hi Jen,
I love your hourly comic! It is positively adorable and I don't think you should ever censor anything, in case anybody tells you to if you ever decide to publish it. I felt like this reminded me of the bedtime stories I read to my little nephew. I wonder if it could be a bedtime story for artists or something silly like that. It was so soothing in the end that I got a bit sleepy as did your character in the end.
Wow! You are one hell of an artist.
How did I end up here? No matter….that was an AWESOME read! I love it! Definitely will be rummaging through your archive in the next while!
Love this very much! Also liked that you switched pen types every so often. I should really try this with sketching. Something I definitely don't do enough of as an art student. Come out with a new book already!
i wish you would do this everyday!
This is such a novel idea; hourly comics!

Athom Café on Broadway at Dodworth, across from Goodbye Blue Monday. — Photo by Diego Cupolo
One day about a month or two ago, seemingly out of nowhere, a café opened on Broadway and Dodworth. There was no Grand Opening sign, or any sign at all — bodegas and 99-cent stores often open to more fanfare. But bodegas and 99-cent stores come a dime a dozen here in the Washing Machine and Refrigerator District of Broadway, and cafés owned by real-life Parisians are more unexpected. And so Athom Café, located inside a former appliance store — and next door to another — has no problem standing out on Broadway. Especially with its new hand-painted sign.
Jerome Douay, the café's owner/cashier/chef de cuisine, was born in Paris. He moved to Bed-Stuy with his wife when she landed a job here in New York City, which gave him the opportunity to fulfill a lifelong dream: to follow in his restaurateur father's footsteps and open a restaurant of his own.
Over the last several months, he renovated the former appliance store space into a rather charming café, adding a wall for the kitchen and restoring the classic Brooklyn tin ceiling. If business continues to go well, Douay hopes to renovate the back area into a small dining room, and reopen as a full-service French restaurant. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
For now, Athom offers up tasty sandwiches, salads, pastries, and omelettes, as well as quality coffee at bodega prices. I had a roast beef sandwich with tomato, caramelized onion, and cheddar cheese on a pressed and grilled baguette, with a delicious side salad all for seven dollars and change. It's also a patisserie selling excellent baked goods — you'll make a curious sight walking down Broadway with a wax paper-wrapped baguette in hand.
Douay chose "Athom" as a sort of portmanteau of "at" and "home," because he makes most of his food in-house. In fact, Athom café is closed on Mondays, because the owner takes the day off to hand-pick all the ingredients for the coming week. Having worked at restaurants that rely on food distributors who occasionally deliver low-quality goods, he has come to believe that this is the only way to ensure quality.
If you are tired — like I am — of long lines and surly service at your corner deli, give Athom café a try. It's really different. In a good way.
Athom Café
1096 Broadway
Tue-Sun | 6:30am-8pm

How do you celebrate this season? What are your rituals, traditions and foods? Tell us about yours from around the globe or around the block
Our TED community spans the globe, with a myriad of religions, traditions, rituals, foods and ceremonies. Many of us celebrate holidays this time of year. How do you and your culture celebrate...and what do you most appreciate about your family or community traditions. What is the story behind your culture's traditions?
As online communities deepen, I'm sometimes at a loss for how to meaningfully share the spirit of holidays and other significant events with those I experience connection with here. Perhaps hearing how we celebrate, and what matters, will allow us to see and understand more about each other in our online community.
Or, if you're inclined, share a personal favorite memory or story of the holidays.
Happy Holidays, One and All!

Dec 24 2011: Some of you may find this amusing, but my family (which consists of just my father, my little brother, and I) is somewhat "scroogish" in the sense that we do not partake in normal American Christmas traditions. My family for some reason doesn't enjoy the holidays that much and quite frankly we can't wait till they pass every year.
Though, every Christmas day the 3 of us go to watch a movie. As unspectacular as it may be, it is still the closest thing to tradition that we partake in. However, none the less I am grateful for the 2 people that I spend those 2 hours in the movie theater with every year. I honestly wouldn't have it any other way =)

The Free Beer & Hot Wings Show "Race For The AgeD" [VIDEO]
by Free Beer & Hot Wings l Thursday, June 12 2014
Our intern Catie is a collegiate runner. On the air one day a couple weeks ago, we wondered if four of us from the show could beat her in a race. We would run the race relay-style and she'd run on her own. Unfortunately, our schedules didn't coincide, so we decided to race against her personal best time of 2:20 without her there. Our team consisted of Free Beer, Hot Wings, Joe and Steve. Zane was manning the camera.
