NoSQL Basics, Benefits and Best-Fit Scenarios
For more than 20 years, SQL has been the unquestioned ruler of the database world. But now it's facing its greatest challenge.
Many of the largest and fastest-growing databases in the world belong to Web search engines and social networks (such as Google, Facebook and Twitter) or other internet companies (such as Zynga, maker of the games Farmville and Mafia Wars). Those companies routinely reject high-end commercial database management systems (DBMS) from the likes of Oracle or IBM. So do smaller companies in similar industries, who can only dream of running databases that big. Their reasons commonly include:
- They don't want to pay license fees, and indeed have a strong bias toward open source software.
- They don't need high-end features.
- In fact, they don't need most SQL functionality.
- They aren't that excited about writing SQL anyway (nor generating SQL via, say, an object-relational mapping layer).
- License fees aside, they believe commercial database architectures and features get in the way of scalability.
This rejection of proven products may sound like madness at first, but it turns out to make a certain sense. Databases are being built for single applications, and developers are optimizing performance, networking considerations, and/or software license fees at the expense of application extensibility. In such scenarios, DBMS lose their traditional roles as powerful DML (Data Manipulation Language) interpreters; rather, application programmers have to code every bit of data manipulation smarts themselves. Also falling by the wayside are most DBMS performance optimizations for different classes of queries. All that data management subsystems are used for is to read and write small amounts of data in a very rapid manner, and then to back up, replicate, and otherwise manage the already-stored data.
Consider the following use cases:
- A large Web site exists primarily to accept and serve back photographs, songs, small snippets of text, and the contents of simple database records. Almost everything is keyed on user IDs. Throughput is massive. (Think of social networking or photo sharing sites.
- Most of what happens in the database is that counters keep getting incremented, and not for transactions in which real money changes hands. So write locks are terrible bottlenecks, and transaction integrity -- while nice-to-have -- is not essential. (Think of social gaming or article sharing sites.)
- A central server coordinates application versions and some amount of data across a broad number of occasionally-connected instances, perhaps for a broad variety of applications. (Mobile computing and social gaming sites need this sort of functionality.)

Do you want to be :
pumped or swept away?
As to the question of whether happiness really is a state of mind, we would have to answer "yes". Skiing in the wilderness is somewhat addictive. It's that thing that happens when one of Europe's most skilful mountain guides points down the slope with his pole and, amused, gives you the command: "ski". From there on in, it's just you and the slope.

We Care and the Truth About Snowflakes
Apparently, when it comes to snowflakes, we've been misinformed.
Adriana, a young and energetic participant in We Care, fills me in, "There's a factory up in the clouds, stamping the snow, and that's what's shaping the snowflakes. They could be the same or different—it depends."
It's undetermined whether this explanation had anything to do with the holiday card she was decorating at the time—covered in silver ink-stamped snowflakes.
Here in Holland, Michigan, Adriana was one of 225 kids and 50 employee volunteers stamping, gluing, and coloring during the Herman Miller-sponsored arts and crafts extravaganza known as We Care.
Steve Hightower, a Herman Miller employee and avid volunteer of six years, said his favorite part is "seeing the kids smiling and running around. They get a chance to do crafts that maybe they wouldn't otherwise. It's really cool."
This year marks the 16th anniversary of We Care, our partnership with Boys and Girls Clubs of America and local design firms. We Care reaches 30 communities across North America and this holiday, more than 6,000 youngsters came to craft.

Arthur Murray Dance Studio has been a leading name in franchise dance since 1912, when the entrepreneur began selling mail-order dance lessons. Expanding his reach, he enlisted teachers to spread his signature dance lessons on first-class steamships and skyrocketed to fame in the '30s after introducing the public to such dances as the Lambeth Walk and the Big Apple. By the 1950s, Arthur and his wife, Kathryn, were hosting their own highly popular TV show on ABC, the Arthur Murray Dance Party, which ran for 12 years. Today, Arthur Murray's team prepares students for rug cutting at special events and weekend nightclub jaunts. Clients who arrive to lessons partnerless will be paired up with an instructor as the teachers assess their current skill level and make recommendations on the most appropriate program. Throughout lessons, instructors teach the foundations of two to four dances from a long list of styles that range from Latin to country-western, helping students to learn basic step patterns, timing, and the ability to lead or follow.
Bartenders mix more than 30 specialty martinis at Lounge 33, a riverside bar that owes its sophistication to owners Angela and George Tavaglione. The owners' extensive menu of mixed drinks includes nods to highbrow entertainment, including The Godfather, a drink that fuses Johnnie Walker Green Label and Disaronno amaretto, or the Dirt and Spice martini, an avant-garde combination of Absolut Peppar and olive juice, Tapatio hot sauce, and lemon. Though the focus is on mixed drinks, the Tavagliones also stock wine and beer, while their skilled cooks prepare flatbread pizzas and italian meatball sandwiches guaranteed not to pop a meatball out and send it rolling to the top of Mount Smokey.
Ra Pour's executive chef, Greg Stillman, draws upon culinary wisdom culled from stints at famed restaurant The French Laundry to curate upscale renditions of comfort fare, nabbing buzz from Taste Terminal and a dozen other media outlets. An open kitchen affords prime views of chefs as they garnish pizzas with handmade mozzarella and truffle oil before tossing them into a wood-fired oven. Succulent meats from local farms boast exotic flourishes such as North African–style harissa, Buddha's hand marmalade, and a single unicorn tear. Live beats flow from a raised DJ platform toward the bar, where mixologists fashion original cocktails against a backdrop of dramatic green and purple lighting.
A family Mexican restaurant by day, Tequila Bar & Grill transforms into a nightclub at night, at which point couples groove to salsa tunes played by live bands and Djs or sing Spanish and English karaoke. Patrons dine on authentic cuisine, such as tacos, quesadillas, and enchiladas amid exposed brick walls and south of the border-inspired tiling.
Voted best French restaurant by IE Weekly, Christophe's serves up a variety of Francophone fixin's, eponymously prepared by Chef Christophe Jardillier, who honed his culinary chops on cutting boards throughout France. The sleek dining room, dominated by leather and mahogany hues, creates a swank backdrop for house specialties such as the beef bourguignon, a hearty dish composed of beef, mushrooms, and vegetables in a rich red-wine sauce ($22.95). After dinner, sashay toward the lounge for cocktails and live music on Fridays and Saturdays, or see enthusiastic karaokists every Wednesday.
Toro Sushi Bar invites you to join the bite-sized culinary festivities in a chic modern setting. Its menu features a wide variety of hand-made flavorful treats, from sushi to sashimi to full entrees to tapas. Enjoy the geometric perfection of a Creole Roll with crab, veggies, and seared Cajun tuna ($15) or the insistent adoration of the Loveulongtime Roll, which unites shrimp tempura, crab, avocado, masago and tobiko with a duo of eel and dynamite sauces ($15). If you've chosen to don your "Me and My Sushi and Sashimi – No Two Ways About It" custom tee-shirt, head straight into a carefully orchestrated array of blue fin tuna Maguro, octopus Tako, Hawaiian white tuna Ono, Japanese Red Snapper Carpaccio ($15), and the Kobe Beef Tataki with green onions, garlic chips and crispy red onions ($25). For even smaller eats, peruse the tapas menu for calamari, monkey balls (tempura style mushrooms stuffed with cream cheese, spicy tuna, and avocado), and edamame. You can complement your meal with specialty drinks, sake, wine, and beer.
Housed in a former lemon warehouse, Casablanca Bar & Grill fills spacious eating areas with the aromas of piquant Mediterranean cuisine. Chefs skewer beef, chicken, shrimp, and lamb kebabs and sauté seafood such as scallops and frog legs. Tender falafel balls can be dunked into tahini sauce or rolled across white tablecloths into the mouth of a dinner companion.
Live entertainment at Casablanca Bar & Grill engages eyes as well as mouths. On Friday nights, belly dancers swivel their hips as they weave through wisps of smoke from flavored hookahs. Paintings in ornate gilt frames keep watch over the festivities, and an outside wooden deck lets diners watch the sky for menu recommendations spelled out in clouds.

'The Belle Of Amherst' opens in Amana Oct. 12
AMANA — The Iowa Theatre Artists Company opens "The Belle Of Amherst" by William Luce at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 12. Only six performances of this production will be offered, featuring Meg Merckens in the role of celebrated American poet Emily Dickinson.
"The Belle Of Amherst" opened on Broadway in 1976. Luce calls it " … a love affair with language, a celebration of all that is beautiful and poignant in life." The play explores the life of poet Emily Dickinson from the age of 15 — a young, vibrant girl full of hope and success — through the years as she becomes more and more reclusive, but still fervently pursuing her passion to see her poems published. The play draws liberally from actual letters written by Dickinson and those who knew her to give a fascinating insight into the brilliance behind her poetry that still is read and treasured today.
Merckens first performed the role in 1983 at The Old Creamery Theatre in Garrison, and looks forward to revisiting this captivating production.

In case you haven't heard, it's NaNoWriMo … or National Novel Writing Month. If you've got a novel in you, waiting to be set free, this is the time to do it.
NaNoWriMo is a month-long marathon writing event. The goal for participants: write a 50,000-word novel (the equivalent of a 175-page book) between Nov. 1 and Nov. 30. Think quantity, not quality.
You can't use any previously written passages, but you can refer to outlines, character sketches and research. Oh yeah, and you have to do it all by yourself. No co-authors.
Then between Nov. 25 and Nov. 30 upload your novel to the NaNoWriMo site for word-count validation. Everyone who hits the 50,000-word mark is declared a winner. You've done it! You're a novelist.
This is all about churning out copy and quieting your internal editor. Speaking from experience, it is much easier to go back and edit what's already on the page than to fret over every word and seek perfection in every paragraph before moving to the next.
NaNoWriMo started in 1999, and last year more than 120,000 people participated. More than 20,000 of them crossed the finish line with 50,000 words in hand. The NaNoWriMo web site has discussion forums, a word count scoreboard, and a Procrastination Station – which is a great time killer for anyone, writer or not.
I've never actually participated, and I'll be honest, it's a little daunting. I guess it would be a great way to flesh out that book idea that's been floating around in my head for a couple of years. Maybe next year I'll take the challenge.
What about you? Ever tried it or know anyone who has?

Fred's Not Here
Online Reservations
Excellent restaurant, plus you can't beat the value! Great food at a great price; you'll definitely feel like your money was well spent. You have to have the lobster soup! It's delicious! Overall, Fred's Not Here is one of the best restaurants in Toronto!
The ceasar salad and lobster risotto were delicious! The waiter was excellent - attentive and timely- great service! All around a good spot. Fred is terrific, too.
Two restauraunts in one. Freds upstairs and Red Tomatoe upstairs. We were there on a Monday and the two shared menues. Freds is steaks and such, Reds is small plates. Downstairs bar has happy hour specials. Great spot right on King St. Small outside dining area.
I was entertaining family and friends who visited from N.Y.C during May 23-25 2013. I decided to take them to Fred's Not Here after reading up on reviews others posted about this restaurant. Great food, great atmosphere, great service, great drinks...great EVERYTHING!!! New Yorkers know their food and to hear that they were completely satisfied made me proud of our beautiful city. Yes we were loud, being Latino it's our nature but our server joined in the fun. Thank for everything. I will most definitely come back and tell everyone about this place :)
Waiter first inquired if we were going to see a show and when we advised that yes we were, he advised that our 8:00pm showtime was not an issue.
Hadn't been at this restaurant in a while -- seems like the menu has changed to more of a steak & seafood restaurant and it's very good. Great options and reasonable prices for fixed price pre-theatre menu. Their famous lobster soup with the puff pastry "hat" is very tasty.
Always excellent food and efficient, pleasant staff.
<3 the lobster and crab soup! steak was a little cooked over expectation...
I visited for their SummerLicious Dinner menu and I was impressed with the amount of food as well as the quality. I went with a friend and we had: the lobster and crab soup (amazing), gnocchi with walnut parsley basil (extremely filling and very good), the 12 (or 14 oz, I can't remember) new york strip, peach melba and almond cake. Everything was cooked perfectly to order and we appreciated the great attentive service. Hope the visit again soon.
The food at Fred's is always very good. Great spot for an interesting lunch with an Asian twist. We also make Dinner before the theatre is the best spot on King. Great value too
The Summerlicious menu was excellent and there was something to appeal to everyone, which was why we chose this restaurant. The lobster and crab soup with puff pastry was lovely to look at but a bit tough to eat. The soup itself was piping hot, which was nice. The lobster tails were excellent and good value. Overall, it was a good experience.
Went for my birthday with my family. Had a great time. Food was delicious, especially the crab and lobster soup. A little disappointed in the wedge lettuce starter - had a very tart balsamic vinaigrette instead of the usual creamy blue cheese dressing. Our server was new but very attentive. Would definitely go back!
Great place to go, I dine here every summerlicious and winterlicious. My favourite is the Baked lobster and crab soup.
Always a consistently good experience, and Summerlicious only enhances the experience! The lobster crab bisque is a winner and basically one should bypass any other appetizer and automatically pencil this one in. Options for the main course expand on the standard three offered elsewhere, and there is something here to please all palates. Desserts were also very good, although last minute substitutions diluted some of the anticipation. Overall highly recommended and definitely value to be found here!
Our group of 8 came for lunch and enjoyed the Summerlicious menu. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal which included Tomato, Red Onion & Feta Salad, the Seafood Risotto and the fruit ice for dessert. It was all delicious. A few in my party ordered the Lobster Soup and although it was nicely presented with a puff pastry topping, the soup didn't have any lobster in it. Those who ordered steak raved that it was delicious. Overall, the service was okay, but our server seemed to 'disappear' leaving us waiting to order our beverages.
Best qaulity summercilious menu in downtown TO!!! The food was just amazing for the price.
I came in for the Summerlicious menu for the first time and I throughly enjoyed the food and service. Overall it was a good meal, nothing to complain about. I would definitely recommend this resturant.
Our Waitress was very helpful and very nice. She made us feel welcomed. What I liked even more that she asked me ahead of time if we would prefer separate bills or combined. Other restaurants they usually give us hard time and refuse to combine bills. I did not even had to ask her, she asked me !! The only thing is the male server/manager/owner (I am not sure which title is) may be he can be more subtle..I find him little blunt.. Thanks Salpy
The lobster and crab bisque with the pastry top is simply one of the best in the GTA. Service was friendly.
Fred has always great menu for Summerlicious, great choices, and this year was no exception. Food was really goodWe were a bit rushed but well, it's Summerlicious. Thanks, Anna
I likes the atmosphere , service was great, lots of choices on the Summerlicious Menu. Wedge salad was good with different dressing. Beef was cooked to perfection. the only complaint was the Baked Mac and Cheese...seemed to have be made ahead ond then reheated. Edible but a bit dry. Peach Melba for dessert was also good. I would recommend this restaurant for a pre show diner .
Went for summerlicious. The lobster and crab bisque was fantastic. The seafood pasta was good, but nothing special. My friend had the steak and frites. Those duck fat cooked fries were definitely a favourite. We'll be back soon!
As usual, really enjoyed the lunch! Delicious and beautifully presented.
I attended Fred's for summerlicious for both lunch and dinner. The ambience was good, great servie and good food. I would recommend this restaurant to my friends and family.
My friends and I booked this restaurant during Summerlicious and we loved it. We especially loved the service and the food was good all around, too. The actual ambiance got too dark to take nice photos in, but other than that, we would definitely book the venue again for our future get-together.
'Fred's Not Here' is an excellent restaurant - the food is delicious and the servers are extremely gracious and polite. Will definitely go there again!
My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Fred's Not Here. The food was very tasty and the portions were very generous and I would definitely recommend it to my friends.
The food was delicious. Excellent sized portions, fancy food items (blackened salmon for the main and peach melba was light and refreshing, but substantial enough to feel like i ate a hearty meal), nice patio (half covered / half exposed for those who like it hot and those who like it hot hot), lovely ambience, central location, and excellent service. Our waiter (we went for 1 30 on July 20th - summerlicious lunch menu - man server, late 30s, caucasian - a big pat on the back for you) was really excellent. Our food was served quickly, course following course, without the feeling of being pressured out of the restaurant. Also, he nailed the asking "how's the food" enough times to make us noticed he cared, but not too much to get annoying.
My husband and I went for dinner/summerlicous. Two of us plus tip came to $110. We had the gnocchi and crab and lobster bisque for appetizers. They were fresh and delicious! For dinner we had the 2 lobster tails and cous cous and steak and duck fries. The lobster and steak were really tasty and delicious! The garlic butter for the lobster was to die for. The cous cous lacked in flavour and the duck fries were soggy. The deserts were disapointing. The peach melba was melting and too sugary. The chocolate cake was tiny in size but not worthy of a summerlicous menu IMHO.
Love their famous lobster bisque soup and seafood paella. Yummm
Great servjce, great wine, great food. I am a meat lover and love blue steaks. My was cooked to perfection and my wifes was just how she order it. It is rare to find a cheif that hits the mark on a blue stake.
Great experience! We reserved through OpenTable and our reservations as registered perfectly. Outstanding service and ambiance. The steak was delicious and made to order. Definitely would go back again!
I have been there in the past but it's been a few years and overall I was impressed by all staff and the quality of food. Very reasonably priced and thus I give it an 8.5 out 10. Happy for them keep up the good work...
We booked a table for a party of 9 and when we arrived early, the table was waiting for us and it was the best seat in the house. The ambiance was both romantic and inviting. Everyone in the party ordered steak and/or beef brisket and all 9 of us finished our plates and described our dishes as absolutely delicious. The service was respectable and the timing of the food delivery was just right. We ended up having wine and sat around chatting for 3 hours, never feeling rushed to leave. The prices were excellent for the food quality and the cost averaged to about $60/person, that including steak dishes, appetizers, multiple bottles of wine and beer, and dessert. I cannot wait to go back!
I absolutely loved this restaurant. I went to this restaurant a couple years ago for Winterlicious and loved it. My favourite of course, the baked lobster and crab soup. Sooo yummy! I brought my boyfriend here for his birthday and again the food was amazing and their service was excellent. At booking I mentioned it was his birthday and after our meal they brought out a slice of cake to surprise him. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. Definitely loved this place and it's great for dates! Will be coming back! Thanks Fred! Haha
I have been there a number of times, but I found that the quality of food differs every time. I could be very happy one time and then I would be disappointed the next time. The lobster and crab soup is my all time favourite, but I was disappointed last week, it was kind of watery. I ordered the lobster tail seafood risotto, the risotto was good, but the lobster tail was stale. They should do something to maintain the standard of the dishes.
Returned for the steaks which are always excellent and cooked to your desired level ( not over cooked as per most other restaurants). The surprise of the evening was the coconut milk rice which was exceptional - exotic tasking and not over sweet. Will be my new choice instead of the duck fat frites from now on.
Absolutely love the blackened salmon and quinoa salad - delicious and very healthy! This is my fave lunch spot.
Nice table. Food was good but not surprising. Nice service. Great time.
and casual relaxed atmosphere. My husband said he had the best paella ever here. Prices reasonable. Great location for the theatre. Would go back in a heartbeat.
Great food, excellent service reasonable price and a fantastic location.
We arrived late , had great service, shared 4 fantastic appetizers and good wine and the service was impeccable despite the late hour .We arrived at 10:45pm and were there for at least 2 hours and despite the late hour we never felt rushed and the quality of service and food was fantastic.
The food was very good and the service was polite, helpful and attentive. Very pleased and will return to this charming intimate dining room.
Great restaurant with many options of fish and meat. Food was delicious, and served hot and quickly. Well worth the money at a downtown nice restaurant....

Former Associated Press correspondent and photographer Malcolm Browne, best known for his award-winning image of a Vietnamese Buddhist monk who set himself ablaze in political protest, has died aged 81. Browne's death follows the recent passing of Associated Press writer Roy Essoyan, correspondent George Esper, and photographer Horst Faas. All were part of the same generation of journalists who documented the Vietnam War. Here, we celebrate their work.
Browne (above), Saigon correspondent for the Associated Press, poses in front of his photo of a Vietnamese Buddhist monk's fiery suicide after the image was selected as the worldís best news picture of the year at the Seventh World Press Photo contest in The Hague, Netherlands in 1963.

In 2011, OC Weekly dubbed rock 'n' roll bar The Juke Joint one of the best bars of the year. Here, 20 craft, domestic, and international draft beers are served alongside cocktails and whiskey shots. With walls painted black, the bar invites patrons to spin a few songs on the jukebox, which blasts tunes ranging from punk and rockabilly to American roots music. The bar also hosts live music on a stage dedicated to the late Nekromantix drummer Andrew Martinez. Five pool tables facilitate friendly games and official billiards tournaments, and free WiFi makes it easy to upload the photos that will be deleted tomorrow.
Resembling a space ship abandoned by aliens who had recently time-traveled to hang out with Le Corbusier, The Glass House is a portal to rock and dance sounds for music-lovers of all ages. It's also a cornerstone of downtown Pomona's close-knit arts district, surrounded by record stores, cafes, and vintage shops. Holiday-themed shows and fundraising concerts join young, on-the-rise bands on the calendar, along with established favorites such as New Found Glory and The Faint.
Cafe 322's welcoming atmosphere and rich menu of comforting Italian eats make diners feel at home while the live jazz adds a cosmopolitan flair. Try a different lasagna each day with the lasagna de la casa ($10.95) or opt for the sophisticated mélange of flavors in the fettuccine di spinaci e salsiccia with fresh spinach, italian sausage, and garlic sautéed in olive oil ($11.95). Cafe 322 also serves up tasty meatier dishes, such as lamb shanks slow-braised so they fall off the bone and directly into that special place in your heart reserved for Mom, America, and lamb shanks ($14.95). Stars of the gourmet pizza menu include the quattro formaggio, layered with fontina, mozzarella, gorgonzola, and parmesan cheeses ($11.95), and the flavorful grilled chicken pesto ($13.95).

Relatively new to most consumers and far from standard on boats are LED (light emitting diode) lights. Though you've seen them on your stereos, TVs, DVD players and just about any remote control for years, consumer fixtures are a relatively new application for LEDs. Using semiconductor technology, these lights present many advantages over incandescent lights, especially for boaters.
According to experienced cruisers, the primary draw of LED lights on a boat is that LEDs are more energy efficient. They draw less energy and have a long life expectancy, which makes them great for anchor lights. They also generate less heat and are directional in output, providing a narrow beam of light perfect for a flashlight or a reading light fixture. However, this directional output means that a single LED cannot effectively fill the required arc of a navigation light or the requirement for an all 'round 360 degree light. Fortunately, newer multi-bulb LED fixtures have emerged on the market to help achieve the arc effect.
There are of course larger LED fixtures on the market but we didn't evaluate them as our focus was on the smaller recreational boat. LED arrays clearly have their advantages. Their low-energy draw makes them ideal for anchoring and thereby extends battery and alternator life. LED bulbs are also long lasting and have sealed circuitry. Manufacturers often claim 50,000 hours of useful life and some offer warranties up to 10 years. The only disadvantage is that the cost of the fixtures may not seem to pay for itself initially. But down the road, it could pay dividends. And seeing and being seen by other boaters is, well, priceless.
Although LEDs are comparatively more expensive, we were curious if there was a visible difference when compared to standard incandescent lighting fixtures. We tested these fixtures both on the water and with a light meter in an indoor controlled setting.

Love! These are perfect! I call them magical jeans because I feel so skinny in them! December 21, 2012
Sexy Jean I just bought these last week at my local buckle store. I normally wear XXL inseam, however these do not come in the 36 inseam. They looked so good on, I love the flap pocket it always helps make the appearance of my butt look higher and better plus I had never seen the white leather upside down fleur on the Rocks before. Really cool looking. Anyway since these are straight leg I bought the reg inseam (32") and rolled them up a couple of times and turned them into a skinny legged capris. They were really comfortable and did not stretch out, they stayed true to size as I wore them. June 27, 2012

Scenic City Trail Marathon & 1/2 Marathon
Registration opens Jan 15, 2014.
Click here for race details!
Rock/Creek's Scenic City Trail Marathon is one of the largest trail marathons in the Southeast, taking place on the fast, hard-packed dirt mountain bike trails of TVA's Raccoon Mountain. Starting on a short section of road to thin out the pack of 500+ runners, the race course is almost completely singletrack, with rolling hills, many twists and turns, some excellent views of the Tennessee River and plenty of rocks and roots along the way.
This course is flatter and smoother than many of the rugged, rocky local trails used in our other Salomon Rock/Creek Trail Series races -- "Flat for Southeastern Tennessee," we like to say -- making the Scenic City Trail Marathon a great choice for road marathoners wanting to try a trail marathon, or experienced trail runners in the hunt for a new PR.
Race proceeds benefit Wild Trails, a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to the use, expansion and promotion of trails in the greater Chattanooga area.

text: I really think people should consider SEA BATTLE, this game was one of the most amazing multi-player games on a system famous for multi-player games. It involves strategy and provides for amazing range of possibilities with all the ship classes. Also, (though probably not in addition to SEA BATTLE) ARMOR BATTLE was a wonderful multi-player title, though I would defer to anyone else's opinion on this one. Furthermore I further second the motions to add one of the BASEBALL titles to the list perhaps MLB, these game really were ahead of their time, the key pad overlays that allowed for selection of players really I think put them ahead of similiar titles released even on much later systems.

This idea was already in the air in 2003 when Stott traveled though the worst heat wave in recorded European history on a wedding anniversary trip to Italy and Switzerland. One of the striking consequences he noticed was that the Swiss mountains were missing their usual melodious tinkling of cowbells. "There was no water in the mountains, and the farmers had to take all their cows down in the valley," he says. He decided to see if he could pin part of the blame on climate change after he returned to his office in Exeter, England. "I didn't expect to get a positive result," he says
But he did. In fact, the signal of a warming climate was quite clear in Europe, even using data up to only 2000. In a landmark paper in Nature Stott and colleagues concluded that the chances of a heat wave like the 2003 event have more than doubled because of climate change. (Scientific American is part of Nature Publishing Group.) Data collected since then show that the odds are at least four times higher compared with pre-industrial days. "We are very aware of the risks of misattribution," Stott says. "We don't want to point to specific events and say that they are part of climate change when they really are due to natural variability. But for some events, like the 2003 heat wave, we have the robust evidence to back it up."
Case in point: Hurricane Katrina
Another event with a clear global warming component, says Kevin Trenberth, head of climate analysis at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colo., was Hurricane Katrina. Trenberth calculated that the combination of overall planetary warming, elevated moisture in the atmosphere, and higher sea-surface temperatures meant that "4 to 6 percent of the precipitation—an extra inch [2.5 centimeters] of rain—in Katrina was due to global warming," he says. "That may not sound like much, but it could be the straw that breaks the camel's back or causes a levee to fail." It was also a very conservative estimate. "The extra heat produced as moisture condenses can invigorate a storm, and at a certain point, the storm just takes off," he says. "That would certainly apply to Nashville." So climate change's contribution to Katrina could have been twice as high as his calculations show, he says. Add in higher winds to the extra energy, and it is easy to see how storms can become more damaging.
This science of attribution is not without controversies. Another case in point: the 2010 Russian heat wave, which wiped out one quarter of the nation's wheat crop and darkened the skies of Moscow with smoke from fires. The actual meteorological cause is not in doubt. "There was a blocking of the atmospheric circulation," explains Martin Hoerling, a research meteorologist at the NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory, also in Boulder. "The jet stream shifted north, bringing a longer period of high pressure and stagnant weather conditions." But what caused the blocking? Hoerling looked for an underlying long-term temperature trend in western Russia that might have increased the odds of a heat wave, as Stott had done for the 2003 European event. He found nothing. "The best explanation is a rogue black swan—something that came out of the blue," he says.
Wrong, retorts NCAR's Trenberth. He sees a clear expansion of the hot, dry Mediterranean climate into western Russia that is consistent with climate change predictions—and that also intensified the Pakistan monsoon. "I completely repudiate Marty—and it doesn't help to have him saying you can't attribute the heat wave to climate change," he says. "What we can say is that, as with Katrina, this would not have happened the same way without global warming."
Yet even this dispute is smaller than it first appears. What is not in doubt is that the Russian heat wave is a portent—a glimpse of the future predicted by climate models. Even Hoerling sees it as a preview of coming natural disasters. By 2080, such events are expected to happen, on average, once every five years, he says: "It's a good wake-up call. This type of phenomenon will become radically more common."

text: Life in the Russian military is observed in this almost surreal Russian drama that contains strong anti-war sentiments. The film's main theme suggests that we as humans do not have as much control over the course of our lives as we think we do. It is filmed without a plot and minimal dialog. Instead it offers a poetic depiction of brief, unexplained incidents in the soldiers' lives. The audience sees neither the beginning, nor the end of the episode. The purpose is not to explore the men themselves, but rather to evoke a mood of despair and impending doom. To get the film produced, filmmakers Hussein Erkenov, Yuri Polyakov, and Vladimir Golodov had to create two fake scripts in addition to the real one. The film was actually made in 1990; it could not be internationally released until Erkenov could afford to create his own company. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

George Washington and His Maps
In his journey from surveyor to soldier to leader, our first president used cartography to get a feel for the young nation
- By John Hanc
- Smithsonian.com, November 16, 2010
(Yale University Library)
Washington consulted this map—which he considered "amazingly accurate"—before recommending to Congress the borders for what would become the states of Ohio and Michigan. He also used it to plan strategy in the Indian wars of the early 1790s.

Some of the nautical information on this British map may have been gathered by the famous (future captain) James Cook, RN, who did a recconnaissance assignment at Quebec.

I've read that a large part of Napoleon's genius was his ability to make extraordinary use of maps.

Mr. Herr,
Your button is not one that George Washington would have worn but more likely one celebrating his inauguration as President in New York. Contact a museum or reputable antique dealer about it. It could be of some value.
Regards, Daniel S.

I have in my possession a coat size button with the bust of George Washington imbossed on it.It is either brass or bronze,not sure.It was found on long Island in 1976, by me at a place he visited several times.It could be a cape button that he usaully wore.Can you shed some light on it.I will send a picture if need be or please send me photo's of some of his military uniforms.
thanks, Richard T. Herr

A really fun line that climbs straight up the face. The climb is deceiving; where it looks easy, it isn't as easy as it looks. Where it looks hard, it isn't as hard as it looks. Say no more - we'll ruin the fun. Get on it and enjoy, the clipping stances are great! A great place to take pics of folks on CYT or leading this climb or Mark Limage's November Daze just to the west of this line. We really struggled with this being 5.8 or 5.9, please let us know what you think!
About 40 feet west of the left edge of CYT. This climb and November Daze go up the same face.
8 bolts to a great ledge and chains.
AWESOME climb with one move up high that looks more freaky than it really is if you'll just go for it!! Have Fun!!
Enjoyable climbing with good stances and a nice view into Calico. It felt like 5.8 to me.
As easy as it looks; 5.8 is generous.
Super fun, as was 'November Daze' However, I agree with gilbert, I thought it barely harder than 'November Daze' 5.8 is generous.
an easy, fun 5.8.
Avoiding pulling on the fragile flakes made this a 5.9. There is a big flake about halfway up the size of a kitchen counter that felt really hollow. The sketchiness of this flake kinda ruined it for me.
really liked this climb!! great fun 5.8
Are you guys using a 60m rope? This description says 85 ft which puts me in comfort range for rappelling. My guide book says 100 ft, which doesn't.
Even a 100' route is safe to rappel with a 60m line- a 60m line is always cut long when its new (they range between 62m and 65m), and it shrinks with age. Even a true 60m will only be short of the ground by about 18" on a 100' route. You'll be fine.

I was lucky enough to have been picked to test the new sublingual supplement from LG Science, T-911. The ingredient profile is outstanding, except for one particular ingredient, Yohimbine. The amount Im told is very low, but its enough to make me sick to my stomach, and cause a nasty headache. Ive tried several dosing methods, but the result is the same.
For example:
- - I dosed on an empty stomach; the result that I received was initially a promising one. Within the first 30 minutes, I would get a euphoric high that buzzed me with energy. At the hour mark, nausea hits me, followed by a runny nose, then a headache.
- - With food; the result was the same, except the nauseous feeling on top of having food in my stomach put me on the verge of actually vomiting. I dont know about you, but feeling like that and trying to push my body to the extreme do not go together what so ever.
- - I have even tried breaking the dose in half, but the result was the same. Yohimbine is not for me. My body is talking to me, and I need to listen.
In conclusion, Im sorry if this review is short, but I refuse to feel like crap just to complete the bottle. That doesnt do me, or any of the readers any justice. This product would be a nice fit into my supplement regimen if the Yohimbine could just be left out. Thanks for the opportunity, LG, but my body is rejecting this.
*On side note: I am willing to send the remaining bottle (65 pills) to anyone that is willing to do a review on it. If LG would like, they can pick the person; if not, PM me and we can work it out.
Bottom line, T-911 is not for me.
