SUN OF SELF ON THE WALL OF MIND | PART 4| home
We come to the dream state . In the dreamland we come , as it were , from the glaciers to the lower mountains . You are still on the mountains , asleep .
Here the subtle body , the dreaming self , finds itself in a fantastic land , in a poetic region ; the dreaming self of yours is now a bird , is now a sovereign . Immediately it becomes a beggar .
It is now a person who has lost the way on the Himalayan mountains and then it becomes the citizen of a big city like London . It is now in this city and then in that city .
How changeable ! Just as the streams in the mountains are changeable , meandering , fickle , taking different turns every now and then , such is the state of your dreaming self .
In your dreaming state , you are quick about everything , just as the streams are so quick when in the mountains , the rivulets , the brooklets are so quick and so rapid , so gushing , and so playful . So is your dreaming self so playful and rapid . You live in a land of imagination .
There the dead becomes alive and those people who are living , you find sometimes dead — strange land , the land of fantasy and the land of poetry !
Is it not quite like the stream in its subtle body on the mountains where it is in the land of poetry and fantasy ?
After the dreaming experience , passing through the mountains , as it were , in your second stage , you come down to the plains , you wake up .
In your wakeful state you make up the gross body , just as the river acquires a gross body when descending upon the plains .
You see the deep sleep state is called the seed body , and the body of your dreamland is called the subtle body , and the body of your wakeful state is called the gross body .
You know when the rivers come down from the mountains and enter upon the plains , their subtle body remains just the same , but it puts upon itself a red or muddy mantle . You know the water comes from the mountains . That fresh , pure water remains hidden in mud and in the clay and soil of the plains .
There the subtle body of the river , as it was seen in the mountains , has not changed , but it is simply wearing a new clothing , it has put on a new costume , and thus when the subtle body of the river has descended to the plains and put on a new muddy costume , we say , the river is in its gross body .
It was not so when the subtle body came from the seed body ; then the seed body had to melt down and produce the subtle body , and now in the wakeful state , subtle body had not to melt or change , it had simply to put on new garments , new costumes . That is what actually happens .
In your wakeful state , the subtle body , that is to say , the mind , the intellect , which was working in the dreamland does not disappear , that remains the same , but these material elements , material head and material all that , these are put on , as it were , like costumes ; and when you have to go to sleep , this material gross body is simply taken down , as it were , hung upon that post , and the subtle body is divested of it .
Just as when going to bed , people take off their clothes , so you take it off and only the subtle body works in your dreams .
Now what is the subtle body ? It will be shown that that is also material . The relation of the subtle to the gross and the gross to the subtle will be pointed out .
You know the rivers in the winter season ( the winter season is like the night ) , usually put off their gross body , strip themselves of their gross body and keep only the subtle body with them , that is , in the winter season rivers are reduced in size , and the mud and clay and the red muddy vesture that they have , they put off . They go to sleep , as it were .
Just as the rivers put off their gross body and keep the subtle body only , similarly everyday when you go to bed at night ( your winter ) you put off the gross body and keep only the subtle body .
But the Sun which was shining upon the seed body , the same Sun shines equally upon the subtle body of the river ; and the same Sun which shines upon the seed body and subtle body of the river , shines equally upon the gross body of the river .
The true Atman or real Self , which was seen shining upon the deep sleep state's body shines also upon your dreamland and upon your wakeful state — upon the gross body , as it were , but where lies the difference ?
The difference lies in the reflection of the Sun . When the Sun was shining upon the seed body of the river , upon the glaciers , the image of the Sun was not seen there . The action of the Sun was intense upon the glaciers , but the reflection or image of the Sun was not seen ; but when the Sun began to shine upon the subtle body of the river , the Sun is reflected .
When the Sun was shining upon the subtle body of the river , there the Sun's image was seen . No image of the Sun was seen upon the snow-capped peaks or upon the glaciers ; but in the subtle body of the river , in the mountains , in the rivulets , is the image of the Sun seen .
What does this image imply ? This image in origin is the real Self , the true Atman , the Unchangeable , the Immutable in you , the true Divinity , Atman or GOD . The same GOD is present in you when you are in the deep sleep state , that GOD shines upon your seed body , but examine , in the deep sleep state , no egoism is present , you have no idea of
" I am asleep " , " I grow " , " I digest the food " , " I do this " ;
that is , there is no ego ; the real Self is there , but no ego is there . This false apparent ego which is looked upon as the self by people is not there .
In the dreaming state it becomes apparent . The dreaming state is like the second state of the river , the subtle body of the river . There it becomes apparent , and it becomes apparent also in the wakeful state .
You know , your wakeful state is like the state of the river when it is upon the plains , the gross body of the river .
There the Sun shines clearly ; it was shining clearly upon the glaciers , but it reflects its image only in the stream ; in the muddy river is the image of the Sun seen ; so in your wakeful state , the image of the Sun is also seen . This egoism —
" I do this " , " I do this " , " I am this " , " I am that " ,
all this egoism — this selfish apparent self makes its appearance in the wakeful state also .
But you see there is a difference in the ego of your dreamland and the ego of your wakeful state .
In your dreamland the ego which has been to you as the reflection or shadow of the true Atman or GOD , is fickle , changeable , vague , unsettled , hazy ; exactly as the reflection of the Sun in the stream when it is upon the mountains is vague , meandering , changeable ; and in your wakeful state this ego is definite , permanent , as in slow stream , slow river , when it is flowing upon the plains .

This page provides details for performing a simple upload request in the Cloud Storage JSON API. See Uploading an object for a quick guide to simple uploads using tools such as the JSON API.
A simple upload is the most straightforward method for uploading a file. Use this option if:
- The file is small enough to upload again in its entirety if the connection fails.
- There is no metadata to send. This might be true if you plan to send metadata for the file in a separate request, or if no metadata is available.
If you need to provide metadata for the file, you can use multipart upload or resumable upload instead. For larger files (more than 5 MB) or less reliable network connections, use resumable upload.
Learn about request URIs
When you upload objects with the JSON API, you use a special URI that differs from the URI you use for most JSON API requests, including requests to upload object metadata:
For object uploads, use the
/uploadURI. The format of the
/uploadendpoint is the standard resource URI with an
/uploadprefix. Use this URI when transferring the object data itself.
For example, for a bucket named
POST /upload/storage/v1/b/myBucket/o
For other requests, use the standard resource URI. This includes adding or updating metadata values for an existing object.
For example, for a metadata patch to an object named
myObjectin a bucket named
PATCH /storage/v1/b/myBucket/o/myObject
Sending a simple upload request
To use simple upload:
- Create a
POSTrequest to the method's
Add the query parameter
For example, for a bucket named
POST https://www.googleapis.com/upload/storage/v1/b/myBucket/o?uploadType=media
Add a
namequery parameter to identify which resource the upload is associated with.
For example, to specify that an object's name is
POST https://www.googleapis.com/upload/storage/v1/b/myBucket/o?uploadType=media&name=myObject
Add the file's data to the request body.
Add the following HTTP headers:
Content-Type. Set to the MIME media type of the object being uploaded.
Content-Length. Set to the number of bytes you are uploading. This heading is not required if you are using chunked transfer encoding.
Send the request.
Example: Sending a simple upload request
The following example shows a simple upload request to a bucket named
myBucket, with the object stored as
POST https://www.googleapis.com/upload/storage/v1/b/myBucket/o?uploadType=media&name=myObject HTTP/1.1 Content-Type: image/jpeg Content-Length: [NUMBER_OF_BYTES_IN_FILE] Authorization: Bearer [YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN] [JPEG_DATA]
If the request succeeds, the server returns the HTTP
200 OK status code along
with the file's metadata:
HTTP/1.1 200 Content-Type: application/json { "name": "myObject" }
Handling errors
When uploading media, be sure to follow these best practices related to error handling:
Resume or retry uploads that fail due to connection interruptions or any
5xxerrors, including:
500 Internal Server Error
502 Bad Gateway
503 Service Unavailable
504 Gateway Timeout
Use an exponential backoff strategy if any
5xxserver error is returned when resuming or retrying upload requests. These errors can occur if a server is getting overloaded. Exponential backoff can help alleviate these kinds of problems when there is a high volume of requests or heavy network traffic.
When you receive an error other than a
5xxerror, you do not need to use an exponential backoff strategy. Instead, limit the number of times you retry the request. For example, your code could report an error to the user after retrying a request 10 times.

A great review of Kathryn's lovely book that I so enjoyed, dear Liz, now in the hands of my daughter who I'm certain will embrace Kathryn's engaging work as much as I did.

Hi Liz - thanks for paying me a visit. Chesterfield eh? My niece used to live in Inkersall and now lives in Breaston - so I know your part of the world a bit. Always notice Chesterfield because of the crooked spire (have been through it on the train a few times).
Isn't it nice when you get a book you can really enjoy - and when you have time to settle down with it. Sounds a good book - I shall look out for it.
I am into thrillers at the moment - I go in phases - have just today finished a PD James - I was desperate to find out who had done the deadly deed.
Do pop over and see me again. I shall put you on my side bar now.

Hi Joey - you are a love for your kind words and I'm so glad you enjoyed Kathryn's book. I'm sure your daughter will love it too!
Hi Weaver and thanks for the return visit!I know Inki quite well as I've worked in the junior school there teaching tai chi. Small world and all that!
Kathryn's book isn't available in the UK yet, but she's working on it. There's a link on her comment at the top of this comments box for you to get the book though.
Aaah, PD James - I love a good thriller too although I'm reading a slightly odd fantasy novel at the moment by way of a change!
I'll certainly be over to see you again :)

You have made this book sound rather alluring... I love that you couldn't finish it in one sitting! Howard Jacobson, this year's Booker Prize winner, said he hates people saying 'I couldn't put it down' because a good book should make people want to savour it, stop and think, and revisit.

Hi Sally Chateau and welcome to my blog :)
I'm still coughing and spluttering, so Himself has banned me from gardening today - probably sensible but ...:(
He's busy working away on the inside of the tea house so make sure yo pop back to see the next phase!
Hi Broken Biro - oh that is So true! I have loads of books that I've re-read numerous times - but I confess to reading some trashy novels in one go too :)

Commissioner of Official Languages for New Brunswick (Canada)
About the Member
On June 14, 2013, Katherine d'Entremont was appointed Commissioner of Official Languages for New Brunswick for a non-renewable seven-year term. Ms. d'Entremont grew up in a bilingual and bicultural family, her mother being Anglophone, her father, Francophone. Throughout her personal and professional life, she has acquired a thorough appreciation of New Brunswick's two linguistic communities. With a Master's Degree in Public Administration, a Bachelor's Degree in Education and a Certificate in Adult Education, Katherine d'Entremont enjoys a rich and diversified professional work experience. She started her career as a French Immersion teacher. She then joined the New Brunswick Public Service where she held various senior positions. Her expertise covers many fields, such as official languages, the municipal sector, human resources, and workplace equity.
Click here for further biographical information on this member.
About the Member's Office
In 2002, New Brunswick adopted a new official languages act which established the position of Commissioner. As an independent agent of the Legislative Assembly, the Commissioner has two responsibilities. The first is to ensure compliance with the Official Languages Act. Whether pursuant to a complaint or on her own initiative, the Commissioner investigates, reports and makes recommendations. Her second responsibility is to promote the advancement of both official languages in the Province. Each year, the Commissioner submits a report concerning the activities of the Office of the Commissioner to the Legislative Assembly.
Over the past few years, the Office of the Commissioner has highlighted a number of issues related to the vitality of New Brunswick's two official languages such as education, language of work, immigration and signage.
Click here for further information on this office.
Key Information on the Language Situation in this Country/Region
In 1969, New Brunswick adopted an act making English and French the province's official languages. A new act was passed in 2002 with amendments made in June 2013. New Brunswick is Canada's only officially bilingual province. This unique status is part of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, component of the Canadian Constitution.
Pursuant to the Charter and the Official Languages Act of New Brunswick, members of the public throughout the entire province have the right to communicate with and receive services from provincial institutions in the official language of their choice. It should be noted that institutions have an obligation to inform citizens that their services are available in both official languages. That is what is called an active offer.
According to the 2011 Census, 65.4% of New Brunswickers have English as their mother tongue. French is the mother tongue of 32% of the province's residents.
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms states that both Anglophone and Francophone communities in New Brunswick have equality of status and equal rights and privileges, including the right to distinct educational institutions and such distinct cultural institutions as are necessary for the preservation and promotion of those communities.

Most days I drive down South Street and stop at its intersection with South Main Street. Lately I have been looking for an architectural treasure on an invaluable piece of town land, as all other letter writers seem to see. What I see is a tired old high school, its upper floor missing after a fire that occurred in my childhood, on an odd shaped piece of land. This building has served Middlebury as town offices for over 60 years, longer than it was its high school. It is time to move forward.

The recent story about the UD-3 school board approving a new budget did not have some relevant information that led the board to maintain the current number of teachers at Middlebury Union Middle School rather than reduce the staff this year due to declining enrollment as was proposed at the beginning of the budget process.
VERGENNES — Vergennes police found their caseload reduced during a slow holiday week. Between Dec. 23 and 29, city police:
• On Dec. 26 helped the Addison County Sheriff's department process a drunk-driving case.
• On Dec. 26 aided Vermont State Police at a Ferrisburgh home with a suicidal man; VSP took him to Porter Hospital for counseling.
• On Dec. 26 took a dog back to a South Maple Street home; a citizen had found the canine wandering loose.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury police arrested Thomas Husk, 56, of Middlebury for violation of his conditions of release, following a reported disturbance at a North Pleasant Street residence on Dec. 16.

With answers to frequently asked questions surrounding drunk driving charges, you can find the answers you have been looking for in this FREE, downloadable book.
Massachusetts OUI & Criminal Defense LawyerHelping Good People in Difficult Situations
Attorney DelSignore explains his methods for successfully defending OUI cases
At DelSignore Law, OUI Defense and Criminal defense is the sole focus of our practice. We handle OUI cases, license issues, Board of Appeals cases, OUI cases involving accidents and immediate threat suspensions, OUI drugs charges, as well as domestic assault and battery, magistrate hearings, drug charges and other felony and misdemeanor charges.
Massachusetts OUI lawyer Michael DelSignore has taught other lawyers on OUI Defense, published 2 books on Massachusetts OUI Laws and has been quoted numerous times by the media on OUI Law, including by the Boston Herald, Boston Globe, Attleboro Sun, Worcester Telegraph and Patriot Ledger.
This website is designed to answer your questions and provide you the most useful information to understand the law and help you make an informed decision about the best way to handle your criminal case.You Can Trust Attorney DelSignore with your Drunk Driving Case.
Many people are tempted to simply plead guilty to drunk driving or other charges. They may hope that the matter will simply go away, but a criminal conviction and record may affect the severity of the penalties that you face in the future if you are ever charged again. A criminal record may also carry various adverse social and professional consequences. Michael DelSignore is an experienced OUI attorney serving Massachusetts residents from his office in Bristol County.
Attorney DelSignore can provide the knowledgeable and aggressive representation that you need to keep your record clean and get your life back on track.
Attorney DelSignore is a published author on topics related to OUI and criminal defense. He has built a strong reputation in the field, winning many victories in court for good people in difficult situations while also being quoted by the media regarding these issues on numerous occasions.
Our website is designed to answer the many questions that a defendant and their loved ones may have about the specific charge that they are facing and the potential legal options at their disposal. You can also learn about the successes that we have obtained for our clients.You should not assume that you will be convicted.
An experienced Massachusetts OUI lawyer can look at your case closely to determine whether procedural errors may have been made and whether your constitutional rights may have been violated. For example, to pull you over, a police officer must have a reasonable suspicion that you have broken the law, are breaking the law, or are about to break the law. A reasonable suspicion must be something that the officer can articulate; it is more than just a hunch. If there was no articulable reasonable suspicion to pull you over, the court should suppress the evidence from the stop.
Also, the Breathalyzer devices used to test BAC must be carefully calibrated and properly used by law enforcement for the results to stand up in court. In other situations, a driver may have a specific medical condition that affects their performance on the field sobriety tests that law enforcement conducts to determine their level of impairment. These are just some examples of the defenses that drivers may be able to assert, depending on their circumstances.
Even if your license has been suspended for an OUI, you may be able to obtain a hardship license from the Registry of Motor Vehicles so that you may continue to go to work or school. Attorney DelSignore can assist you not only with the criminal case related to your drunk driving charge but also with the administrative proceeding. Hardship licenses are generally available within three business for first-time offenders and for some second time offenders if there has been a sufficient amount of time from the first conviction to treat the second offense as a first offense. (Other second-time offenders may be able to receive a hardship license after one year.) However, it is important to show sufficient proof of hardship to the hearings officer at the Registry of Motor Vehicles. An OUI attorney can assist Massachusetts residents with this process.2018 Delsignore Scholarship for Success
The Scholarship for Success is awarded to one student for their personal essay describing the hurdles they faced on their path to academic success. Students who met these challenges with hard work and dedication to their studies are encouraged to apply for this $500 award. For more information about eligibility and application instructions, please visit the scholarship page.OUI / DUI
Driving under the influence of alcohol is a crime in Massachusetts. Your maximum blood alcohol content may be up to .08% if you are an adult. For people under 21, the maximum blood alcohol content is .02% with regard to administrative proceedings, but it is still .08% for the purposes of criminal court.
In addition to drunk driving, driving under the influence of marijuana or other drugs is also a crime. For a conviction of a first offense, the penalties consist of a fine between $500 and $5,000, imprisonment of up to two and a half years, or both. Although it is rare for someone with no other criminal record and a first offense to go to jail, it may be important to retain an attorney to avoid other penalties that may disrupt your life.
We also represent Massachusetts residents facing a variety of other charges, including assault and battery, domestic violence, drug crimes, gun offenses, larceny, shoplifting, motor vehicle offenses, and other crimes.
What the prosecution must prove in each type of case depends on the specific elements of the offense charged, but virtually any crime needs to be established beyond a reasonable doubt. For example, when charging assault, the prosecution in Bristol County or elsewhere in the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant either tried to use physical force against someone else or threatened to use physical force in the immediate future.
Each situation is different, but in some cases involving violent crime charges, there may be evidence of self-defense. If there is evidence of self-defense, the prosecutor must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you were not simply defending yourself. The force that you used to defend yourself must be reasonable rather than excessive. For example, if the other party started hitting you, and you hit back, this is likely to be seen as reasonable self-defense. However, shooting a gun at someone who punched you may be disproportionate. The jury may consider the strength of both the defendant and the alleged victim, which weapons were used, if any, and whether the defendant had a way to retreat.
By contrast, defenses to marijuana possession or other drug charges may be related to the Fourth Amendment protection against unlawful searches and seizures. To meet its burden of proof in these cases, the prosecution often needs to supply the tangible drugs supporting the charge. However, these may have been seized in violation of the defendant's constitutional rights if the police acted without a warrant or probable cause. If this seems to be the case, a knowledgeable Massachusetts criminal defense attorney can argue that the evidence should be excluded, which may force the prosecution to drop or reduce the charge.
Other potential defenses may include a lack of control over the substance. Just being in the same house, apartment, or car with the drugs does not necessarily mean that the defendant had sufficient control to be charged with possession.
Being charged with your first drunk driving charge can be a daunting experience. What happens at the first court date? How long does the process take? What is a continuance without a finding? It is easy to feel overwhelmed and unsure of what can be done to get the best outcome possible.
When charged with a first offense OUI you need to understand these key points first:
- When you can get your license back?
- The defenses available to your case
- A first offense OUI is a misdemeanor offense; you are not likely to go to jail for the charge.
The most important initial consideration when charged with a second offense OUI is to understand the license loss.
- It is a three-year suspension if you refused the breath test.
- The length of your license suspension, if convicted, depends on how far apart your two OUI offenses were.
- If more than 10 years apart, you face the possibility of a much shorter license loss.
- If the offenses are within ten years, you face a two-year license loss.
Once you understand the various license implications and discuss them with an OUI lawyer in Massachusetts, you can decide whether to pursue take your case to trial or contest it.
The legal terminology in a third offense OUI can differ slightly, and you may feel alone and overwhelmed in the process. A Third Offense OUI has serious consequences, and it is critical that you have an experienced OUI attorney to represent you at arraignment.
- A third offense OUI involves mandatory jail time upon conviction.
- You may face a steep cash-bail amount, but the judge will consider factors presented by your attorney.
In an OUI accident case where you were brought to the hospital, you may not have a court date immediately; if you did not get a citation at the scene, it is likely you will get one soon. You should not call the police department looking for it. When there is a delay between the incident and your receiving the citation that can be a defense to the case.
What is the status of your license after an accident? If you were brought back to the station, it will likely be suspended based either on the refusal or the breath test being over .08. When you are brought to the hospital, there is no suspension; but you could face an immediate threat suspension, which is something you would receive in the mail shortly after the incident.
OUI accident charges can be defended at trial based on a variety of reasons. It is important that you schedule a consultation with an experienced OUI attorney in Massachusetts to discuss the possible defenses to your particular case. For example:
- Your accident may have not been related to the consumption of alcohol.
- Another driver may have caused the accident.
- You may have been tired behind the wheel, which ultimately led to an accident.
An OUI drug charge can be an intimidating charge to face. However, not many people know that it is actually difficult to prove an OUI Drugs charge in Massachusetts. What is important to know is that the scientific reliability and accuracy of these tests can be challenged in court because they are not 100% reliable.
- The Commonwealth must prove exactly which drug caused your impairment.
- The police officer may have used a variety of tests to assess your mental and physical coordination in order to establish whether or not you are under the influence of an illegal drug.
- The police might have also requested a blood or urine sample to support their determination.
A domestic assault and battery charge can be complicated and is not always as easily resolved as one may think. If the prosecutor has enough evidence to prove the case without the victim's involvement, they may still attempt to pursue the charge.
- Due to the nature of the relationship between the individuals involved, emotions can fluctuate, and the law may not always complement the desires of those involved.
- Often, the police may be called during the heat of an argument, and both parties may settle their issues between themselves and be back in a relationship before the next court date.
- Although it is easy to assume that a charge will be dismissed if the "victim" decides they no longer want to press charges, this is not always the case. If the prosecutor has enough evidence to prove the case without the victim's involvement, they may still attempt to pursue the charge.
If you are facing a drug crime charge, you may be feeling anxiety over the future of your case and how the case will affect your personal future. Drug crime charges can have complicated consequences, from legal consequences such as jail time to life consequences such as job loss.
- Drug possession charges can come in different forms, including distribution charges and trafficking charges.
- The charge will often depend on the amount of drug that was seized by law enforcement, since this will determine what the Commonwealth will ultimately decide your "intent" was.
- Drug crimes require a thorough defense, since it is often possible to obtain a reduction in the level of charge being brought against the individual.
A criminal record may haunt you far into the future, affecting your ability to get a job, drive to work, obtain a professional license, or live in the home of your choice.
When so much is at stake, there is not a time to cut corners or take chances. Regardless of whether it is your the first or fourth DUI charge that you are facing, it is critical to retain a skillful Massachusetts OUI attorney. Michael DelSignore has dedicated his legal practice to defending people who need a drunk driving lawyer or representation in other criminal cases in Bristol County or the surrounding areas.

An old banking buddy of mine has been out of work for a full year. I met up with him yesterday, and he told me the good news that he has finally found work. It's not enjoyable. But it pays better than sitting at home.
His time of unemployment had been doubly tough because his son was also out of work at the same time. The proud father seemed happier that his son had also found a job.
"And since he works for a nonprofit, they will pay his student loan," he said.
"What?" I said, not sure that I was hearing right.
"If you go to work for the government or a nonprofit, they will pay your student loan."
I told my friend that I'm thrilled for him and his son, but that I'm stunned that these sorts of incentives are in place to drive debt-laden college graduates to government and nonprofit jobs.
After all, this means taxpayers are footing the bill for these loans, on top of paying for government salaries that are, of course, a dead weight on private enterprise.
Well, it didn't take much digging to find the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program (PSLF) that was passed by Congress in 2007. According to Forbes, "The program promises to absolve remaining balances on the federal student loans of qualifying borrowers who make 120 monthly loan payments under eligible plans."
To be eligible, you must make these payments while working for the government or a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. The way to maximize the government forgiveness is to sign up for the Income-Based Repayment (IBR) Plan or the Income-Contingent Repayment (ICR) Plan.
So say a theoretical student graduates from law school (to use an example provided by Forbes) with $120,000 in debt and takes a job as a public defender making $45,000 a year with a 3% annual raise.
According to Isaac Bowers, senior program manager for educational debt relief and outreach at Equal Justice Works, a Washington, D.C., nonprofit, that person would be eligible for roughly $151,000 in forgiveness if the young lawyer enrolled in the government's Income-Based Repayment Plan and repaid about $48,570 in 120 payments.
There is a complete alphabet soup of debt forgiveness programs for those working on the government payroll. Various states have their own programs, as do cities, universities, and so on. Of course, these programs are all subject to funding, so hooking up with a federal government job offering a debt forgiveness program is the safest way to go.
Mark Kantrowitz tells Forbes that loan forgiveness options at the federal level are the most reliable. "Even if they get canceled, existing borrowers are likely to get grandfathered in," he said. "And they're not in danger of being canceled. There would be too much of an uproar if they were."
Meanwhile, MBA graduates gainfully employed in the private sector whipping up lattes and the like are struggling to make payments. This past quarter, 11% of student loans were 90-plus days delinquent, which "for the first time exceeds the 'serious delinquency' rate for credit card debt," William Bennett writes for CNN.com.
Students are graduating with mountains of debt and moving back in with their parents when they can't find a job, or at least one that provides enough to pay rent and student loan payments. This isn't some isolated circumstance. One in five families is shouldering student loans debt, according to Pew Research Center. But for households headed by someone younger than 35, the percentage is a whopping 40%. Back in 1989, that number was less than 20%.
Over a quarter of households headed by someone aged 35-44 has student debt, more than double the 11% for this age group in 1989. The average amount of student debt per household has nearly tripled (in adjusted dollars) in the same time frame, rising from $9,634 in 1989 to $26,682 in 2010. The result?
Mr. Bennett makes the very salient point that student loans are risky, and the government, which makes 93% of student loans, is an irrational lender. Someone pursuing a degree in anthropology can borrow just as much and at the same rate as a student earning a marketable degree like say, nursing.
But the government keeps on shoveling out the money. After all, Obama once told Congress,
"Tonight, I ask every American to commit to at least one year or more of higher education or career training. This can be community college or a four-year school; vocational training or an apprenticeship. But whatever the training may be, every American will need to get more than a high school diploma."
To that end, the Department of Education handed out $133 billion in 2010 and another $157 billion in 2011. And still students are borrowing like never before. But for what? The Associated Press reported earlier this year,
"About 1.5 million, or 53.6%, of bachelor's degree holders under the age of 25 last year were jobless or underemployed, the highest share in at least 11 years. In 2000, the share was at a low of 41%, before the dot-com bust erased job gains for college graduates in the telecommunications and IT fields."
My friend went on to tell me that his daughter is nearly done with graduate school. I asked if he had been shouldering the burden of her education costs.
"No. Student loans."
I asked if she had racked up a six-figure loan balance.
"Yeah, probably."
I let out a groan. He quickly added, "but she'll probably work for the government."
The mortgage debt crisis has been replaced in the public view by the student loan debt crisis. Total student debt outstanding is approaching $1 trillion. And while students are graduating with fancy degrees, jobs that pay enough to service the debt are few and far between.
The taxpayer just can't escape funding the higher education racket. Your state taxes provide direct support. Your federal taxes are funding direct aid and student loans. And now graduates have a compelling reason to find a place on the government payroll with you footing the bill. After all, student loan balances can't be discharged through bankruptcy, but they can be through government employment.
Sincerely, Douglas French

Film Commission
Calling all filmmakers and producers!
For much of the history of cinema, Stockton has served as a popular location for shooting movies. Producers and directors from Hollywood and other film-making capitals travel to Stockton to take advantage of its "film-friendly" environment. Great locations, a position in central California with easy rail and freeway access, and low production costs make Stockton an obvious choice for economically and creatively minded producers.
From the University of the Pacific's beautiful ivy-covered college campus to the picturesque waterways of the Delta, Stockton and San Joaquin County offer many diverse locations for the film industry. Stockton's combination of modern and Victorian architecture will give a unique appearance to your next scene. Film producers find that Stockton can look like either a small western-style town or a mid-sized metropolitan city -- depending on which part of the city you are filming. Vast fields of crops, undeveloped country, rustic and modern drawbridges, performance roads, and panoramic views provide ample sites for wilderness shoots. Directors can easily and economically achieve an Old West pre-electricity "feel" right here in California.
San Joaquin County does not charge permit fees to film producers! Honest! This helps make the county an excellent choice for low or high budget films.
The Stockton & San Joaquin Film Commission now offers an On-Line Photo Library so you can search for filming locations in San Joaquin County. These images are just a very small sample of the variety of locations available to the film industry. There are far too many good spots to show them all here!
For more information about producing movies in San Joaquin County, contact Wes Rhea, Film Liaison, at (209) 938-1551.
Don't forget to use the Reel Directory , Northern California's #1 Production Directory for your staffing and production support needs.
Stockton, A Beautiful And Economical Place To Make Movies
Celebrate history, the arts, and good food and wine in the historic city of Stockton, California. Ideally located in California's Central Valley -- close to San Francisco, coastal beaches, and Yosemite National Park -- this dynamic inland city boasts a rich heritage and a vibrant, contemporary ambiance.

Patriots cornerback Alfonzo Dennard has pleaded not guilty for charges related to the run-in with a police officer contributed to his drop to the seventh round on draft day.
Dennard entered a written plea of not guilty to charges of resisting arrest and third-degree assault of a police officer and waived a formal arraignment hearing that was set for Wednesday in Lincoln, Nebraska. Dennard was arrested on April 21st after allegedly punching a police officer in the face as the officer tried to break up a fight Dennard was having with another man. His next court date hasn't been set yet, according to the Omaha World-Herald.
The Patriots wound up drafting Dennard in the seventh-round, several rounds later than he was predicted to come off the board after a strong career at Nebraska. He signed with the Patriots earlier this month and is now working to earn a role in their secondary.
His arrest won't hurt his attempts to do that nearly as much as it hurt his draft stock, unless, of course, it winds up costing him time with the team.

I have 2 kids, 3 dogs, a white couch and a tan colored carpet in the living room. Do I need to say more? Instantly other mom's will know that I am in a constant battle with stains. I am forever cleaning up little messes. While I do like my home to be clean, I also know that it is still lived in. I have never been the type of parent that demands all drinks, snacks and even some meals be kept at the table. I let Genghis run around and play with a cup of juice. I know, I am just asking for trouble.
Don't even get me started on the dogs. They like dirt. Like Genghis, I think they have a dirt magnet built in. And even if it is raining and muddy, they still have to go outside. I am forever spot treating the carpet and even the couch. I spend so much time scrubbing and blotting and cleaning.
Thanks to the new Bissell Stop 'N Go Cleaning Pads I no longer have to spend so much time on stains. Forget about scrubbing out spots and stains on carpet, stomp them out! BISSELL's new Stomp 'N Go® stain lifting pad is unlike any cleaning product available. Using a powerful oxy-based formula, the pre-moistened pads make cleaning easy and fun. Simply place the pad on a spot or stain and stomp on it. Upon stomp, the pad begins working, lifting and removing the mess. You can actually see the stain being absorbed into the pad. There is no need for scrubbing or using other cleaning tools – the pad does all the work.
I knew it wouldn't take long before I had the chance to try out the Bissell Cleaning Pads. Sure enough, the day I got them, we had a spill. Red juice on the carpet. Thanks Genghis. Luckily I was able to get to the stain right away before it really had a chance to set.
But thankfully, the Bissell Stomp 'N Go Pads are also great for treating set in stains like wine, mud, food, coffee, tea and more.
You can see the juice being absorbed into the pad.
Simply put the pad over the stain with the pre-moistened side down and give it a good stomp. Then walk away. Spots and stains are gone in about 30 minutes with more set in stains taking about 24 hours.
Let the pad sit until the stain is lifted and then throw it away. Let the area dry and then vacuum. Look at that carpet. No sign of the juice is left anywhere! And I did it all with no scrubbing, no blotting, no effort.
The Bissell stain lifting pads can also be used on rugs. They are safe for use on all carpet types including nylon, wool and stain resistant carpet. Bissell Stomp 'N Go pads are available at Kmart, grocery stores and select Wal-Mart stores for only $4.99. Each package contains five individually wrapped pads. That is just under a dollar to get rid of stains with no manual work on your part.
I wrote this review while participating in a campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of BISSELL and received product samples and a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.

The View From 1776
The Next Great Depression
If Senator Obama is elected and if he follows his announced liberal-progressive-socialist policies of high taxes, massive increases in regulation, vilification of business, and large new welfare program spending, the United States will enter a period of stagflation or a prolonged, FDR-style Depression.
Read Amity Shlaes's assessment.
- So, the last eight years have led to the current melt down on Wall Street. Does this suggest we should have a lot of confidence in the folks who led us to the brink?
The conservatives will let our tax dollars bail out AIG, but if I need help to keep from foreclosure on my house, that would be a "liberal-progressive-socialist" bailout. Seems clear enough to me.
- Indeed. FDR's policies were Hoover's on steroids. We used to tag statists as social/fascists. Now we call them 'liberal/progressive'.
- Mr. Henrie:
It's not surprising that you would have the impression that, "By the way, I thought we generally tagged Hoover (the Repub) with running the Depression, not FDR!"
First, I agree with you that Herbert Hoover bears a big responsibility for the severity of the Depression. Not however, because he was a laissez-faire market advocate, as liberals usually depict him. He was a mining engineer by training and believed firmly in the socialistic idea that entire economies could be managed via social and fiscal engineering.
His first act after the 1929 stock market crash was to call to Washington the heads of the nation's largest corporations and to tell them that they must not discharge workers or cut wages. If they failed to heed that demand, the government would punish them with higher taxes and stiffer regulations.
- Like the current financial melt down, it is unrealistic to attempt to lay the blame for the depression at the feet of one single person or even one party. These problems build up over long periods and result from an accumulation of legislation, tradition, popular notions, and financial theory current at time.
Every generation thinks it "knows better" than the poor schmucks of the previous era.

Now i do understand this is not a guide or walkthrough, but you are in this section so your not wanting to play "legit" anyway. But cheat engine can be used for different reason; Cheating, debugging, speeding for example rpg-maker games up and more.
Where to get http://www.cheatengine.org/ and its free. What it does? It helps you hack single player games, read help you still got to do alot yourself. When you first start it up (at least for me) a tutorial is launched for the basic needs. This tutorial can be launched as well under the help tab. And more in depth stuff is found on the Cheat Engine forums. Here i just type some basics
Step 1. Open both the game and Cheat Engine
step 2. Open process, its in the top left corner and looks like a computer icon. Next click the game in the process list. Usually its the same icon and name.
Step 3. Search for a value in game you want to change, usually the values which are shown are the easiest. Like health, money etc
Step 4. Under value on the right side of the window you are going to type the value (default settings for now exact value, 4 bytes) you want to change then click first scan (the lower the number the more results can show, 0 is a hard one to find) When the process is done on the left side all the values which you searched for are shown
Step 5. See the value change in game for example if you searched for 100 health take a hit and have 99 health
Step 6 Type the new value in the value field and hit next scan. If we are lucky you will only see 1 address on the left side numbering 99 in this case.
Step 7 Double click this address to drop it to the bottom bar so you can keep it, remember what it is (ctrl + enter makes you rename it, in our example name it hp)
step 8. click it, enter it, right click change value to anything for example 99999. If this was the correct address in game your hp just changed to 99999. Sometimes you need to do a action in game to make the change. Like stepping left or anything.
Now just repeat for different values
Extra tips.
* Most values are in the"4 bytes" value type, if you get no result change "4 bytes" to "all types" searching takes longer but you get more results like floating numbers, double numbers etc.
* Every stat in the Rags game engine is the "double" value type
* Most rpg-maker games are in the 4 bytes, but you need to multiply by 2 and add 1. Example for 100 health you need to search for 201. For a 0 like in the number of items yu hold you need to search for 1.
* you can enable speed hack, and cause most rpg-maker games are very slow on movement, i do it there mostly
* cheat engine is for single-player games, most multi-player games won't even launch when you have it enabled, some might even give you a instant ban. So make sure you don't have it on when launching a multi-player game.
* after double clicking and putting a value in your bottom bar, you can check mark it to keep that value forever Infinite hp anyone?. But see next tip
* be aware some games have floating addresses, a address can change and you have to search again =/. Be aware if you check marked a address.
* the CE forums are full of helpful tips and tricks, and even tables usually not for Aif games etc. But still they exist. They also have more advanced and expert guides for CE.
* under memory scan options you see start 0000000000000000 and stop 7fffffffffffffff. If you already found at least 2 other values, you see that the address are around the same range example 035A70FB and 035A10B0. If you change start to 0000000003500000 all address above 3500000 CE will skip, leaving a shorter list of results. Useful for hidden values which grow or decrease really slow. Example a relationship between 2 other characters which grows only by cooking them diner, but can only be done once a day.

Integrated DC Capacitors
We manufacture our oil-filled E63-Integrated DC Capacitors using good quality coating patterns and special types of films. Along with these materials, it is our integrated safety mechanism that give good ratio of capacitance to volume to our capacitors. Our capacitors are voltage-proof, durable and reliable. They also have excellent self-healing characteristics. Our capacitors have integrated overpressure protection (BAM) that ensures trouble-free operations and controlled disconnection in the cases of failures or overload problems at the end of functional life. Therefore, our capacitors are ideal for applications with AC ripple currents. They are best for supporting or smoothing capacitors in sensitive enviornment, in buffer storage circuits with high safety requirements.The overpressure mechanism bounds the ratings of surge current. Its presence adds considerably to the inductance of the capacitor. If surge current and self-inductance are crucial for the customers, then they can select our E53 or E50 range. It suits the their requirements.

January 18, 2013
DEARBORN, MI, (Jan. 18, 2013) – The streets of Uptown Charlotte come to life on a daily basis, but on Thursday, Jan. 24 they will roar like never before when the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stars from Ford Racing drive their 2013 NASCAR Fusion stock cars through the city streets as part of the annual Charlotte Motor Speedway Media Tour.
Ford Racing, the NASCAR Hall of Fame and City of Charlotte have worked together and coordinated a route that will take the cars through the heart of Uptown.
The street drive is scheduled to start in front of the NASCAR Hall of Fame on Caldwell Street at 11:15 a.m. and then turn right onto Stonewall. From there, the route will turn right onto Tryon Street and then right onto Fifth Street, where it will go past Time Warner Cable Arena. The parade will then turn right onto Caldwell Street before ending at the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
"We're extremely grateful to our friends at the NASCAR Hall of Fame and city officials in Charlotte who have helped in making this event possible," said Jamie Allison, director, Ford Racing. "Our 2013 NASCAR Fusion is something we're extremely proud of because it looks so much like the cars we drive on the street. Now we're going to literally be able to see that happen when our NASCAR Fusions take to the streets of Uptown Charlotte."
Ford Racing's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series lineup includes current champion Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano from Penske Racing; Carl Edwards, Greg Biffle and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. of Roush Fenway Racing; former Daytona 500 champion Trevor Bayne from Wood Brothers Racing; Marcos Ambrose and Aric Almirola of Richard Petty Motorsports; David Ragan and David Gilliland from Front Row Motorsports; and Casey Mears of Germain Racing.
The parade will conclude at the NASCAR Ceremonial Plaza outside the NASCAR Hall of Fame along Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and Brevard Street, where a photo opportunity will take place for members of the media.
"This parade through the streets of Uptown is a high energy representation of the prestige and passion that Ford Racing brings to the sport and a sneak peek at what we can anticipate in 2013," says NASCAR Hall of Fame Executive Director Winston Kelley. "Seeing these Sprint Cup Series stars debut their new 2013 NASCAR Fusions is a fitting honor for the NASCAR Hall of Fame that enhances our mission in showcasing and connecting the past, present and future of NASCAR with fans no matter their age or level of interest and knowledge."

lately i have caught myself a few times going down the glass half empty road. you know the one, don't you? something in your life hasn't met with your self-imposed expectations… and the disappointment starts to spread, picking up everything in its path. suddenly nothing is immune and unless the virus is stopped by some intentional effort, it can spiral into a dark, foreboding place, affecting not only your creative output, but every aspect of your life.
fortunately i have been done this road before and know the signs. that alone can make a difference. i mean it's all a matter of perspective. it seems so simple, but once that exact same glass is viewed as half full, everything changes. (it can be easier said than done, of course!)
"live in gratitude (ALWAYS)"
it's a line from my own personal manifesto and i feel very strongly about it. but i need a lot of reminders. as oprah says in the oprah/brene brownecourse i am taking, "gratitude is not just a feeling, it's a practice." done regularly. whether we feel like it or not. i like it. i'm practicing.
(hope you enjoy these images from torrey pines state beach)

Hi Megan. The original recipe called for 1/2 a stick of butter or 1/4 cup. I suppose the 57g of shortening would have to be somewhere around there. Feel free to use butter and the above measurements, however, I found that shortening works the best for this recipe. Good luck :) Happy baking and thanks always for visiting my blog!ReplyDelete

31 Days of Gratitude: Day 2
Our backyard is a tiny deck overlooking an ally. As such, many folks would not be happy living here and would not like living in a commercial/retail area. There's also a ton of construction going on, including right smack in front of our town home. It's a mess but, I love being surrounded by people and, on a nice day, will find a bench and just people watch. Can't beat the show!
MOOD WHEN DONE = grateful!!

I think you are on to something here, J.B. I'd love to be a walk away from anything my heart desires. A really short drive is what I have, to a wonderful walk! I'm awfully grateful for that. and for this reminder to be grateful everyday! thanks...ReplyDelete
Sounds like you have a 'near perfect' location ! I LOVE the idea of walking to do your everyday errands, but have a real need to have unoccupied space around me. Talk about direct opposites colliding. Ah well, so glad you have been able to find your happy place for your retirement years.ReplyDelete

My NIWeek 2010 Recap
NIWeek 2010 was the best I've seen yet!
The keynote presentations are always among my favorite parts of NIWeek. I love learning about new products from NI and our customers, and seeing inspiring projects from academia.
This year, you can watch the video of the day one, day two and day three keynotes (except, of course, for the part by our guest speaker, Dr. Michio Kaku, which NI can't redistribute). [Links no longer available]. You can also learn more about the products and technologies seen in the keynotes at the day 1, day 2 and day 3 groups on ni.com/Community. [Links no longer available].
Some of my favorite highlights from the keynotes:
- Mark Riccobono, Executive Director of the National Federation of the Blind Jernigan Institute, speaking about the Blind Driver Challenge and how empowering blind drivers can improve society's recognition of the potential contributions of blind people. His speech underscored for me how the work that customers and students do with National Instruments products can change people's lives.
- Zapping an optical temperature sensor (monitored by the new NI Optical Sensor Interrogator) with Tesla coils borrowed from ArcAttack. Wow!
- Crowd applause for the new features in LabVIEW 2010.
- Jeff Kodosky, the father of LabVIEW, talking about time and programming languages.
You can view slides and examples from many of the sessions by joining the ni.com/Community NIWeek 2010 group. I missed some of the sessions that I wanted to see because the rooms were filled to capacity, so I'm glad I can catch a little of what I missed. (NIWeek attendees should be getting e-mails with direct links to the materials for the sessions they attended).
You can also see some highlights from the Exhibition Hall at the Featured Floor Demos page.
In addition to all the keynotes and sessions, NIWeek is a great opportunity for the world-wide LabVIEW community to meet up for some fun times. The LAVA/OpenG BBQ was a smashing success! It was great to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones.
It was also amazingly gratifying to be able to talk to people who have benefited from my blog. Thank you to everyone who told me you read Eyes on VIs and encouraged me to post more! 🙂
And thank you to everyone who uses LabVIEW and other NI products. During Dr. Michio Kaku's speech, I looked forward to many of the things that he envisions for the future, and I know that it's people like those I meet at NIWeek who will make that future happen.

The Five Minute Interview – IgnitionOneOctober 28, 2013
This article is one in a series of quick-hit interviews with companies using Apache Cassandra and DataStax Enterprise for key parts of their business. For this interview, we spoke with Andras Szerdahelyi who is a Solutions Architect at IgnitionOne.
DataStax: Thanks, Andras for speaking with our audience today. Can you please provide an overview of what services IgnitionOne provides its customers?
Andras: IgnitionOne is a digital marketing solutions company providing world-class proprietary technology and expert services to improve digital marketing performance. IgnitionOne's integrated Digital Marketing Suite (DMS) helps marketers centralize, manage and optimize digital media, understand cross-channel attribution while helping to optimize conversions on a marketer's website.
DataStax: How does your application work, at a high level, and how does your database infrastructure support that application?
Andras: Our applications collect, filter, reduce, and make real-time decisions on behavioral user data. The input of these applications vary from users' raw web session data to compact Profiles, augmented by external data sources and analytics processes. The output is usually the creative of a campaign, a complex on-site interaction, a web search ad or other content, for which the user is most likely to convert on. Our database infrastructure ensures that all this data flows from collection points through analytics processes to the consuming application that selects and triggers the correct interaction.
DataStax: How do you support your business? Is it on premise or do you operate in the cloud?
Andras: The majority of our application is supported in a virtualized environment distributed across multiple datacenters per geographic region (US, Asia, Europe, Middle East and South America) with both a cloud and co-located presence to work more closely with partners and deliver speedy services to clients. Our DataStax Enterprise (DSE) nodes are distributed across these datacenters for both product delivery and heavy analytical processing.
DataStax: So you've got your own datacenters all over the globe. What technical and business challenges drove you to change your architecture?
Andras: The driving force behind this move was the business' need to present our customers with a single solution, through bringing our already successful individual products under the same roof. This presented us with a problem of integration as we moved our high-resolution data closer together. This data is created, updated and accessed in a very heterogeneous environment. Our software architecture is a mix of LAMP and .NET stacks that all need to operate on the same data points.
Integration alone wouldn't necessarily mean that we have to throw away all our current databases such as MySQL and Microsoft SQL Server. But because of the data volume that this integration was bringing in to the same database, the ETL processes that were moving data between the application servers, MySQL servers, MS SQL servers – all of those were becoming single points of failure. They were also beginning to perform poorly and cause availability problems.
It was a very complex architecture. At first we weren't handling an overly significant amount of data, but after the integration it grew into a tremendous amount. So integration and data growth drove us to re-evaluate our software architecture.
DataStax: That's a significant challenge. What caused you to select Cassandra?
Andras: We re-evaluated our existing relational databases for this purpose and we also evaluated some NoSQL solutions like CouchDB, Redis, MongoDB, even Neo4J. We looked into all these technologies and found that only Cassandra was distributed from the ground up by design. Cassandra just feels as if it's made like an indestructible distributed system, which is not something you can say about its mostly master/slave counterparts.
During our evaluation, we found that replication as implemented by most NoSQL servers was not sufficient to support our data-locality requirements (1 replicas here, 2 there.. et cetera), in addition to maintaining master/slave just being a pain in general. As opposed to master/slave, Cassandra is a master-master architecture, so no single point of failure and you can write wherever you want, both of which we very quickly took a liking to. That really drove our decision. The other products also lack a rich data structure; they are unable to present a rich, flexible schema to the applications.
DataStax: For the data that was originally in MySQL and SQL Server, are you migrating that to Cassandra in parts or entirely? Is it new data that you're now putting into Cassandra?
Andras: It's a mix. We employ a custom-written middleware in between our applications, some of these legacy database systems and our new ones. This middleware is designed to smooth out the transition. You could say that we are doing a rolling migration of sorts.
DataStax: Can you project how much data you will store in Cassandra versus other databases, within a year or two from now?
Andras: I'm pretty sure that it will increase tenfold within a year. Before we were managing about 200 to 300 gigabytes of data in these systems. Due to the integration work that we're doing and fattening up our products, in a year I think we will have several terabytes. That would just be for the basic profile, common to all of our point solutions. We have hundreds of terabytes of high-resolution data that are outside of Cassandra, but eventually we would like to have Cassandra as our single store solution for anything profile-related.
DataStax: Is Cassandra handling external facing portions of your application or more of an internal facing function doing backend operations? Are they more things that your customers actually see, from response time queries or inputting data or things like that?
Andras: Externally, Cassandra is just a couple of layers away from a user browsing a pixel-ed webpage or one displaying an ad unit. Internally, we have our analytics and data maintenance jobs running on the store, too. I would say it does both.
DataStax: What caused you to look at DataStax Enterprise versus just open-source Cassandra?
Andras: The primary reason was that these internal services that we're building as a part of this integration effort are created and maintained by a relatively small team of system and software engineers. We wanted to have the same kind of support that we have for our legacy, or I should say established, systems.
DataStax has the most committers and Project Management Committee members on it's staff. It just gives us a peace of mind that whatever Cassandra issues we encounter, we can just go straight to you. And on top of it, I found your support contract very welcoming. In particular, the fact that you can open a general Cassandra question of not a great urgency, like a development environment question or anything like that, and it will be updated in a working day. Of course, the high priority support, the one-hour, 24/7 response time is great.
From the software side, just having Cassandra and the Hadoop stack integrated in a single software package was also a huge timesaver for us; it greatly reduced operational complexity – with very little additional configuration we could start analytics jobs against our data.
DataStax: How do you manage your DataStax Enterprise clusters?
Andras: We have an existing setup for managing our hardware architecture. We use Puppet to manage configuration. We have our own deployment system, into which the DataStax Debian package fits rather nicely. We use OpsCenter mainly for monitoring.
DataStax: If someone brand new took Cassandra and/or DataStax Enterprise were to come to you, or just new to NoSQL, and asked you for some advice in terms of how they should get started, the things they should watch out for, or best practices, what kind of advice would you give them?
Andras: Just start at the data model, at the needs of the data. Get that right and everything else will follow.

43 and not a wrinkle in sight!Posted by: | Comments
Happy 43rd birthday to the Mary Kay Pink Cadillac!
Forty three years ago, Mary Kay began the Pink Cadillac program. The pink sensation was born in 1969 when Mary Kay Ash purchased a Cadillac and asked the dealer to paint it the same shade as her makeup compact. The car was such a hit with the sales force that the company began to offer them as a reward in 1970.
Here's a video clip from a few years back that shares a little of how it feels to earn a Pink Cadillac!
Want to earn a Pink Caddie of your own? Here's where to learn more!
