Heads-or-Tails Perez was on display this afternoon at Shea. For five innings he was the "Good Ollie." Then came the sixth.
Honestly, I'm so glad I was off so I didn't have deal with that nonsense. I'm tired of watching him. The one good start isn't worth it for the three that stink. Willie Randolph said Perez can pitch on his team any time.
That's only because he doesn't have any better options. That's why he'll be an ex-Met this time next year.

"Feel" represents a mistranslation of kanji. (One of the chief problems with writing solely in kana is the many homophones.)

've been working on some code that has made it difficult to use the normal FlashBuilder based process of running in debug and using the step through debugger. This has me spending a lot of time reading through the flashlog.txt file that the debug player output. I also spend a lot of time seeing the dirty secret trace output that every single SWF on the net seems to belch into the log. On a whim, I wrote a script to switch the logging on or off. If you do much work with scripting or sed, this is pretty basic.
sed -i '' 's/=./='"$1"'/g' /Library/Application\ Support/Macromedia/mm.cfg
Put that in a file (such as ~/bin/setFlashLog), make sure you have execute permission, then just type 'setFlashLog 1' or 'setFlashLog 0', depending on how you want your logging (on or off).
Not being happy with that, I wrote an even more elaborate script to toggle the setting to the opposite of whatever it's set at now:
read -r FIRSTLINE < /Library/Application\ Support/Macromedia/mm.cfg
idx=$(($len - 1))
if [ "$value" == "1" ];
sed -i '' 's/=1/=0/g' /Library/Application\ Support/Macromedia/mm.cfg
echo "flash logging: off"
sed -i '' 's/=0/=1/g' /Library/Application\ Support/Macromedia/mm.cfg
echo "flash logging: on"
As with all things *nix, there's probably about 12 other ways to do this. However, since sed was the current favorite hammer, that's what I used to pound the nail. Note that you need the debug player for anything to show up on the log. Also note that the player checks this setting at the time a SWF is loaded, and outputs accordingly. Once the SWF is running, a change in the setting will have no effect.

Best April Fool's Jokes to Play on Your Significant Other
April Fools Day is just around the corner. This day is the perfect excuse to prank your loved one without getting in trouble. You can't get in trouble, it's April Fools! Okay, don't take my word on that. But you need to start planning your pranks now so that you can make sure you're the prankster, not the one being pranked.
Baby Powder in the Blow Dryer
When your wife or girlfriend isn't looking, slip some baby powder into her hair dryer. When she turns in on, it blows baby powder everywhere. All over her clothes, bathroom, her clean hair, everything. She definitely won't see this one coming.
Scratch Decals on His Car
It's basically a fact that men love their car just as much as they love their girl. Sneak outside and put some sticker decals that look like scratch marks on his car. He will go ballistic at the thought someone hit his car then just left.
Saran Wrap On the Toilet
This prank can work on anyone. Put saran wrap between the toilet seat and the bottom of the toilet. then lower the seat and lid. It doesn't matter if the prank is for a guy or girl, they're going to get a very rude, and nasty, awakening.
Freeze Their Belongings
I actually had this one happen to me. Take their toothbrush, keys, etc. and put it in water and put it in the freezer. Before they wake up to start the day, put everything back in it's normal place.
Pregnancy Test Says What?
The good ol' "I'm pregnant" prank never fails. You can get a prank test that always comes out positive, take a sharpie to a negative one, or just tell him. Those are words most men do not want to hear. This would scare him more than jumping out of a closet in a clown mask.

...Or pork parmesan (in the style of Sorento). My favorite cut of chop is the rib end chop like I have here. The're great just grilled with some horseradish or wasabi on the side, but sometimes I like to dress them up to. And it's a great excuse to get my ol' Griswold skillet out to the pit as well.
First things first-- got to grill the chops and tenderize the sliced bell peppers and crimini mushrooms.
Time to put the chops in the pan and top with a tomato sauce and shredded parmesan.
Will it all fit onto one plate? Now is a good time to season with your favorite herbs like oregano and basil, if you forgot to do so like I just did.
That recipe makes me think of pizza. Just cause I've got it, here is a pic of my previous night's dinner, a pork stew. I'm so fond of comfort food!

HOUSTON - The city of Houston reported two more cases of West Nile virus on Tuesday.
According to the Houston Health and Human Services Department, a southeast Houston man described as between the ages of 55 and 74 and a northwest Houston woman between the ages of 55 and 74, contracted West Nile Virus.
In Fort Bend County, random testing of mosquitoes continues but the county is no longer testing dead birds for the virus.
"Right now, we're not testing birds in Fort Bend County or there's no need for them to report the number of dead birds they find or if they find one in their yard. There's no need for them to report it to us right now," sais Melanie Manville with the Fort Bend County Health Department.
While Harris County accepts dead birds for testing at various drop off sites, it comes down to money for Fort Bend County.
"We started testing the birds about ten years ago when we first were looking for West Nile in the area. But now that we know West Nile is here in the area we no longer have to test the birds because we can test it in the mosquitoes as well. Some counties here still do it because they're still receiving funding for it. But we're not, so we're no longer doing it." Manville said.
If you do find a dead bird, you're asked to carefully dispose of it yourself with gloves, and put it in a sealed bag.
There are no medications to treat West Nile virus and there is no vaccine.
"I wish we had a vaccine for West Nile virus. There isn't a vaccine, so the best thing you can do is take precautions against mosquitoes and that means no standing water around your home to reduce the supply of mosquitoes that are out there available to bite you, and use a DEET containing or Picaridin containing mosquito repellant," said Dr. Melanie Mouzoon, of the Kelsey-Seybold Clinic.
According to health experts, we're most at risk at dawn and dusk so if you absolutely have to be outside during those hours you'll really want to layer on the repellant.
Routine ground spraying continues in Fort Bend County, with no plans at this time for aerial spraying.

CANADA vs NAMIBIA
Canada fell 21 runs short of the 155 run target set by Namibia today in the final of the two match 50 over series from Windhoek. Winning the toss and electing to bat, Namibia struggled throughout the innings with an unbeaten half century from Christi Viljoen being the only standout contribution and Canadian captain Rizwan Cheema providing the bulk of the damage collecting figures of 6-34 from 8.5 overs.
The Canadian response was stunted early with the loss of Ruvindu Gunasekera (4) and Nitish Kumar (0). Opener Hiral Patel (17) and Usman Limbada (1) followed shortly leaving Canada at 4-33 in 10.5 overs. Jimmy Hansra (34) and Tyson Gordon (38) provided their share of middle order runs, however neither could complete the chase. Rustam Bhatti also batted intellgiently with Gordon in his 23 run performance.
Canadian Coach Michael DIghton had the following post match comments:
"A bitter pill to swallow and a bad way to finish a tour that could have been somewhat of a success with two WCL wins. Our bowling group performed admirably and Rizwan Cheema led from the front with the fine figures of 6/34. Our batting was again extremely disappointing and we failed to handle the pressure of some disciplined Namibian bowling and at times, brilliant fielding. We lost early wickets through expansive drives and a lack of footwork, something that we had identified as being critical to success on this wicket. Tyson and Jimmy put on a good partnership but had little support."
Dighton continued and summarized Canada's fortunes during the tour.
"I believe that we have learnt some valuable lessons during this tour and you could sense genuine disappointment in the dressing rooms after yesterdays defeat. I was happy with our efforts up until day 3 in the I cup match and half way through yesterdays WCL fixture in conditions that were foreign to a majority of this group. Zeeshan played with great fight and spirit in the I cup and Soraine was lion hearted with the ball in a role that he would not have expected before departing Canada. There were some solid contributions in the WCL with Cheemas' 6 wickets in game two providing the highlight. We need to acknowledge that we can not have a bad half hour with the bat in both forms if we are going to improve."

In this outfit post, I wanted to show you what I wore out to this really cool McDonald's event here in Los Angeles. The minute I saw this blazer I just knew I had to have it. I don't normally wear prints like this, but this was just calling my name. And as you know I'm also not a neon fan. But, things are changing around here people!
I've really been into blazers lately. I found this one at JCPenney (or JCP as they now call it) and it's on sale now! It's by Alyx and I paired it with this neon yellow Woven Scoop Tank from Forever 21. I've been loving these tanks too! I think I have four now, but I see more colors in my future. My skinny jeans are from Torrid and I wear them all the time. Love them! The Cutout Geo Necklace is from Forever 21 and the rings/bracelets are also from Torrid.
This blazer can be worn so many different ways, which I can't wait to try out. It's such a bold print! And because it's black and white, any color can be paired with it. Hopefully, there will more outfit posts with this blazer in my future!

What's Got Sizzle?
By JARETT WIESELMAN
Every year the major networks take over New York City for a week of promoting their new TV shows to Madison Avenue in hopes those mad men and women will want to buy ad time come fall. These Upfront Presentations give the world a first look at sizzle reels aimed to highlight the best (and hide the worst) of their new TV shows.
I've poured over all the pilot presentations to select 10 stand-out submissions; the shows that, based solely on their short trailers, are initially on my Must-Watch list. Granted, this is likely to change once full episodes are released for review, but it still gives you a good idea of what awaits your DVR this September.

How to use ketorolac drops:
Use ketorolac drops as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

- To use ketorolac drops in the eye, first, wash your hands. Tilt your head back. Using your index finger, pull the lower eyelid away from the eye to form a pouch. Drop the medicine into the pouch and gently close your eyes. Do not blink. Remove excess medicine around your eye with a clean, dry tissue, being careful not to touch your eye. Wash your hands to remove any medicine that may be on them.
- To prevent germs from contaminating your medicine, do not touch the applicator tip to any surface, including the eye. Keep the container tightly closed.
- If you will be using ketorolac drops to treat both eyes after surgery, do not use the same bottle for both eyes. Doing so may increase the risk of passing an infection from one eye to the other.

Important safety information:
- Ketorolac drops may cause blurred vision. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks unless you can see clearly.
- Do NOT use more than the recommended dose or use for longer than prescribed without checking with your doctor.

Some of these could be serious. Talk with your doctor if you have questions.
- If your symptoms do not get better within a few days or if they get worse, check with your doctor.
- Tell your doctor if you have a tendency to bleed easily.

Transfer news: Inter Milan concede that Fredy Guarin could be leaving
Inter Milan president Erick Thohir claims Fredy Guarin has an offer from a 'big club' and cannot be 'forced to stay'.
Last Updated: 13/01/14 11:52am
The Colombia international midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to Chelsea for some time.
They are not the only side to have expressed an interest in the 27-year-old's services, but are believed to be the ones leading the chase.
No announcement of an official approach from Stamford Bridge has been made, but Thohir says Guarin's head has been turned and concedes that he may soon be heading for the exits.
He told Indonesian site Liputan6.com: "Guarin is an excellent player and we'd like to keep him, but when there are offers from big clubs you need to take it into consideration.
"We can't force him to stay if his heart isn't in the club."
Thohir is eager to rebuild Inter and their fortunes, but he has conceded that they will need to sell in January before recruiting - suggesting that they may look to cash-in on Guarin.
He told Republika Online: "The January window comprises of a series of opportunities in the market.
"Fans should not expect bombs but, if we have our chances, we will do something interesting.
"In any case, we have to sell before making any purchase.
"Our project is clear, there is no doubt about this. We want to build a healthy club, competitive in the industry, so this year we are going through a state of transition.
"This is not year zero, this is the last year of a fantastic era. Starting next season we will begin a new era."

Its good for making a glass of lemonade. I've also been using it as a salt substitute. And I read somewhere it's good for removing ink stains on clothing. Also a good marinade for fish.

Statistics: Scientific method · Research methods · Experimental design · Undergraduate statistics courses · Statistical tests · Game theory · Decision theory
A confidence band is an object used in a statistical analysis, and most usually occurs as part of a graphical presentation of results. Confidence bands are closely allied in concept to confidence intervals, but the interpretation is subtly different.
One application where confidence bands are used is in regression analysis, in the case of a simple regression involving a single dependent variable. Results can be presented in the form of a plot showing the estimated regression line. A first extension of this is to include lines showing point-wise confidence limits: the lines are drawn through the upper and lower limits obtained treating each possible value of the dependent variable separately. Two cases are commonly dealt with:
- confidence limits for the location of "true" regression line;
- confidence limits for the value of a new observation from the same population as the experimental data.
A second extension of the plot is to include confidence bands: these are lines derived from the observed dataset which define a region such that, across notional repetitions of the experiment, regions devised in the same way have a given probability that the true regression line lies entirely within such a region.
A confidence band typically has a similar shape to the region defined by the limits of the point-wise confidence intervals, but is rather wider.
A second type of application where confidence bands are available are those deriving from the empirical distribution function. Again, simple theory allows the construction of point-wise confidence intervals, but it is also possible to construct a confidence band for the distribution function as a whole. See Setting confidence limits for a distribution function for example, or Owen (1995).
Confidence bands have also been devised for applications to spectral density estimation.

Scottish Whale is a term derived from the whales that inhabit the Atlantic near the coast of Scotland. These whales used to have strange mating calls and performed coitus in a very peculiar way, so Scottish Whale originally applied to a guy that was good in bed, yet was a very interesting partner. Today scottish whale refers to a sexual act involving an accordian, a two headed zebra, a case of 409 cleaning solution, and a life-size cut-outs of the entire Hepburn family. This sexual act is considered by many sexologists and sexy people to be the most expensive sexual act to date, costing ten times as much as the more well known Mexian Marmalade
Roberto was tired of having sex in an ordinary way, so he asked his partner if she would like to commit to a Scottish Whale. She agreed, so now Roberto and Wanda-Zim moonlight, and have been for 47 years hoping to, one day, afford a true Scottish Whale. Roberto is a closet homosexual and confessed this to Wanda-Zim so they split up and Roberto continues his quest with Jimmy-Sue Miller.

Several other bloggers have written about this after Randy Seavers wrote a post about it. Randy got onto this little used area of Ancestry after an email from a reader of his blog Debbie Duay. Just goes to show how well the genealogical community works when someone finds something new 🙂
Apparently Ancestry has many databases that can't be searched using the search box as they aren't indexed. So how do you find them? ……………………..
This is a search I did on Ancestry.co.uk. First access the Card Catalogue, there is a link on the front page of Ancestry. There are a heap of filters you can use down the left hand side of the page. When you click the filter that you want, I chose the date filter and the 1600's, the main larger box brings up all the datasets that apply. There is a tick box at the top that can limit the search to UK & Ireland records only. 313 record types came up under the 1600's search. Having had a quick browse I can see lots of records I didn't know that Ancestry had and I am certainly going back to have a closer look. Perhaps it's just me, but I haven't given the Card Catalogue a look up till now. How many of these records aren't indexed I can't say as yet, but I report back on any I find.
I have noticed that some of the London Metropolitan Archives records that have recently been released aren't indexed so need to be read page by page, however the ones I have searched have been arranged alphabetically. When I started doing genealogy there weren't many indexed records and it was assumed that one would have to trawl through until you found what you were looking for (or didn't find it as the case may be!). The bonus on working page by page is that you often pick up clues along the way and remember the indexing isn't 100% so don't ignore these unindexed datasets and do give the card catalogue a try.
Randy Seaver sets the question of how many datasets are on Ancestry that we don't know about and a very good question it is too. There might be all sorts of treasures there that we just don't know about. The bigger questions are:

HOUSTON - A Galveston County constable who has already taken heat for sexual harassment and urinating in a public park is under fire again, accused of losing her gun and waiting to report it.
Precinct 7 Constable Pam Matranga served as the top female law enforcement official in Galveston, but a year full of controversy and a recent election loss has changed that. A source told Local 2 that Matranga lost her service weapon 18 days earlier and waited to report it to authorities.
According to Matranga, she misplaced her weapon and last saw it in another constable's car.
"I wasn't concerned because it was in a unit," said Matranga.
According to Matranga, she waited only three days to report it.
"I did exactly what I was supposed to do. We reported it with the police department and with the sheriff's department, said Matranga.
According to sheriff's investigators, Matranga called about a week after the weapon was lost.
"Seems to me if an officer lost his weapon, he should report in immediately," said one resident.
Earlier this year, Matranga was caught on camera urinating at a public park. She is also currently being sued for sexual harassment by a former deputy. According to Matranga, the heat she is taking is just a waste of time.
"They've accomplished everything they wanted to. I'm moving on. I wish they would too," said Matranga.
According to sheriff's investigators, Matranga's weapon has been logged as lost or stolen in a national database.

It feels a bit redundant to post it here, since it's on the guild website and on Cymre's Mischiefus website... but I'm going to post it here anyway!

Got some new achievements, like Rubble and Roll, and One (Two and Three) Lights in the Darkness, which gave us the Glory of the Ulduar Raider one.
We put Thorim up this time for Yogg (we did Freya last time) and we didn't have much improvement. Phase 2 seemed painful and it took a while before we got the hang of that. We only managed to clinch it when Lac went ret and went inside the brain with Maz, Sev and Shady. Eboniee encouraged us to work around in a circle while we did the tentacles and that worked rather well too, instead of the random hitting stuff that we seemed to be doing in phase 2. Sev said that we shouldn't have done Thorim because in Phase 3 it doesn't really matter anyway about the speed in which we get it down... but I am SURE that last time we did Yogg he said that we should have Thorim up instead of Freya. Moo also said that Sev said it, I'll just blame it on Sev's bad memory.
Had a few looks at Algalon which was pretty hard, I still had no idea about it, but it would have been awesome to get that.
Unfortunately Aza had an emo because we didn't take him on the first night and since then he hasn't logged into WoW. I didn't know he didn't have the achievement of I would have included him.

Recognizing Child Abuse
One of the first steps in helping abused or neglected children is learning to recognize the symptoms of child maltreatment.
While no single symptom alone proves that child maltreatment is present in a family, when symptoms appear repeatedly or in combination, they should cause us to take a closer look at the situation and to consider the possibility of child abuse or neglect.
Signs of Physical Abuse
Physical abuse is any non-accidental physical injury or threat of injury to a child by a parent or caretaker. Physical abuse includes cuts, fractures, bruises, shaking, burns and internal injuries.
Consider the possibility of physical abuse when the child:
Consider the possibility of physical abuse when the parent or other adult caregiver:
Signs of Physical Neglect
Physical neglect is failure to provide children with the adequate food, clothing, shelter, medical or dental care and supervision that they need to be healthy and safe. Physical neglect also includes abandonment and expulsion from home or not allowing a runaway to return home. It is important to distinguish between willful neglect and a parent's or caretaker's failure to provide the necessities of life because of poverty or cultural norms. A combination or pattern of physical indicators, child behavioral characteristics and caretaker characteristics indicates the possibility of physical neglect.
Consider the possibility of physical neglect when the child:
Consider the possibility of physical neglect when the parent or other adult caregiver:
Signs of Mental Abuse or Neglect
Mental abuse is a chronic pattern of behaviors, such as belittling, humiliating and ridiculing a child. Mental neglect is the consistent failure of a parent or caregiver to provide a child with appropriate support, attention and affection.
Consider the possibility of mental maltreatment when the child:
Consider the possibility of mental maltreatment when the parent or other adult caregiver:
Signs of Sexual Abuse
Sexual abuse is defined as acts of sexual assault and sexual exploitation of minors by parents or other caretakers. It includes a broad range of behavior and may consist of a single incident or many incidents over a long period of time. Because sexual abuse usually does not involve a violent attack, there may be little or no physical evidence that abuse has occurred.
Consider the possibility of sexual abuse when the child:
Consider the possibility of sexual abuse when the parent or other adult caregiver, in conjunction with the above, also:
Factors Negatively Affecting Family Life
Understanding is the first step toward helping families. Therefore, it is important for people to have some idea of the reasons for the occurrence of child abuse and neglect. However, because there is no simple "cause," there can be no simple "cure." We do know that certain factors have a powerful effect on family life. If these influences are negative, they can cause severe parental stress, lead to lack of control and result in child maltreatment.
The factors affecting families are:
The factors listed above can impact all families. Researchers consistently document that child maltreatment can occur in all communities — urban, suburban and rural; affluent and low-income; Anglo and communities of color; religious and nonbelievers.
Report Suspected Abuse or Neglect
To report suspected abuse or neglect, call the department of social services in the area in which the child lives or where the alleged abuse occurred. Ask for child protective services. If you feel that the child is in immediate and severe physical danger, call child protective services and/or local law enforcement immediately.
If you have questions about reporting child abuse or neglect,

Not sure how many of you have been looking into Go, but this is the first extension of the already stupid simple http interface in Go that I've liked so far.
If you have not seen Go yet, I recommend the following:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6kdp27TYZs (51 minute introduction from one the the creators of Google's Go - Rob Pike)
How did you feel about Rob's presentation? Easy concurrent application development is the goal of Go right now. At 28:30 he goes into a simple example, but I think a better example for the web and this forum is probable a video the Andrew Gerrand did:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgzIApJdLwY - Andrew focuses on the net/http package and builds a couple sample web projects, and walks you through everything
Over my head by a long way, but Andrew's certainly does give a clearer idea of it. Thanks for that.
A couple of months ago I was impressed with the "Hello World" and the Moustache demonstration. I set up the Google account which worked fine. I created a link back to a couple of my sites which not only required email verification but also Google crawl treated the link as suspicious.
I tried installing the source code on a couple of sites but Golang refused to work in each case.
I think Golang is a good idea but far too techie for me at the moment, hopefully this will change
Can you elaborate on the google account? Google doesn't force you to join anything for this, it's open source, it just so happens that there's employees dedicated to working on it since it is benefiting Google.
As for the code, Golang is a compiled language, like c or c++. Which means that there is not dropping it on your shared hosting provider. You have to have the ability to compile your applications, and run it from command line. This also means that you do not run it with something like apache, Golang would replace apache with its own built in, high performance http package, which is fully demonstrated in the second video.
For quite a while I've been staring at Golang trying to fully comprehend it, knowing how much this language could empower my applications due to it's concurrent nature (think of c++ but MUCH easier). But I would just stare, dabble in a hello world app and never really understand it. Something just clicked for me a few months ago and I've been loving it since. One of the things I was afraid of was the "lack of documentation" because it is such a new language, theres not many examples on the web like there is PHP. While true, I finally learned how to navigate GoDoc (their documentation) which is incredibly detailed and useful.
Here is the screen-dump image of Googles "Warning: Suspected phishing site":
>>> Can you elaborate on the Google account?I created the account about six months ago using this link:
"https://appengine.google.com/" # Google GoLang App Engine
>>> Which means that there is not dropping it on your shared hosting provider. My knowledge is limited as far as installing Golang on the VPS and will have to watch the videos again and also to ask the Host provider to make the installation.
I studied C++ quite a few years ago, liked the cryptic and succinct language features which was the main attraction to Golang. I would like to start coding again using C and Golang seemed an ideal opportunity.
I have sent a private message giving details of my attempt to get Golang working on my server which requires a Gmail login. If you do not a Gmail account I have a spare that may be used.
John, it seems you are having rouble with Google app engine, not Go itself base on the PM you sent me. Golang does not require app engine to run, it can be compiled locally and run locally (even to develop windowed applications).
Here is the Go website: http://golang.org/ where do you do need an account to download the software. You can skip the app engine part
H Kyle,
I installed Golang on my local Windows computer and ran through all the tutorials with no problem. Next task was to try and install Golang on one of my Apache sites and this is where I had the problems. The source code is still sat waiting to be installed.
I used Google's App Engine, which also caters for Python, Java, Go and PHP. I managed to get the application running on Google's App Engine. I tried to link from my site to the Google's App Engine and the App Engine required an email verification. Also Google's crawl warned of a possible phishing site.
That is the link that I sent in the message, did you try the link?
As mentioned before I would like to use Golang and think that a concerted effort is required, I must allocate at least 5 hours and especially eliminate all telephone, email, forums, etc
Hi John,
The problem here is that Go shouldnt be coupled with Apache, it should replace it. I plan on putting up a few introductory tutorials to the language, but in the mean time I recomend this video posted earlier: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgzIApJdLwY
I'm not sure I can help you out with your Google App Engine issues, but as I said, App Engine is NOT a requirement to deploy a Go web app. Nor is apache.
Here is your generic hello world for a web application.
package main
import (
func rootHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
fmt.Fprint(w, "Hello, world!")
func main() {
http.HandleFunc("/", rootHandler)
log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil))
line #1 of main we register a route for the root directory of our site
Yup, several lines of code and your generating your mcuh more powerful web app. Python can also deploy a web server in about this many lines of code, however python does not have the same performance nor does it have the bread and butter of Go (channels and go routines for easy high concurrency applications).
There is no placing this in apache or anythign like that. You compile this and run it from command line.
I'm a big fan of Go and have part of a production system running on the Revel framework. I'm just about to tear that apart and replace it with Martini. It's a simple service and Martini feels like the perfect fit.
One of the things I love about Go is that you can get incredible performance for cheap. We can spin up a heroku dyno and handle tens of thousands of requests / minute for simple redis interactions.

Industrial & Organisational : Introduction : Personnel : Organizational psychology : Occupations: Work environment: Index : Outline
Theory of Constraints (TOC) is an overall management philosophy that aims to continually achieve more of the goal of a system. If that system is a for-profit business, then the goal becomes one of making more money, in the present as well as in the future. TOC consists of two primary collections of work: 1) The five focusing steps and their application to operations; 2) The thinking processes and their application to project management and human behavior.
According to TOC, every organization has one key constraint which limits the systems performance relative to its goal (see Liebig's Law of the Minimum). These constraints can be broadly classified as either an internal constraint or a market constraint. In order to manage the performance of the system, the constraint must be identified and managed correctly (according to the Five Focusing Steps below).
The publicity and leadership behind these ideas has been dominated by Eliyahu M. Goldratt through a series of books, seminars and workshops. The TOC ICO has been established as a certification organization.
The Five Focusing StepsEdit
Theory of Constraints is based on the premise that the rate of revenue generation is limited by at least one constraining process (i.e. a bottleneck). Only by increasing throughput (flow) at the bottleneck process can overall throughput be increased.
The key steps in implementing an effective TOC approach are:
- Step zero: Articulate the goal of the organization. Frequently, this is something like, "Make money now and in the future."
- Identify the constraint (the thing that prevents the organization from obtaining more of the goal)
- Decide how to exploit the constraint (make sure the constraint is doing things that the constraint uniquely does, and not doing things that it should not do)
- Subordinate all other processes to above decision (align all other processes to the decision made above)
- Elevate the constraint (if required, permanently increase capacity of the constraint; "buy more")
- If, as a result of these steps, the constraint has moved, return to Step 1. Don't let inertia become the constraint.
This Process of Ongoing Improvement has been applied to Manufacturing, Project Management, Supply Chain / Distribution, Marketing and Sales, and Finance. The solution as applied to each of these areas are listed below.
Within manufacturing operations and operations management, the solution seeks to pull materials through the system, rather than push them into the system.
- Drum-Buffer-Rope
- Simplified Drum-Buffer-Rope
Drum-Buffer-Rope is a manufacturing execution methodology, named for its three components. The drum is the physical constraint of the plant: the work center or machine or operation that limits the ability of the entire system to produce more. The rest of the plant follows the beat of the drum. They make sure the drum has work and that anything the drum has processed does not get wasted.
The buffer protects the drum, so that it always has work flowing to it. Buffers in DBR have time as their unit of measure, rather than quantity of material. This makes the priority system operate strictly based on the time an order is expected to be at the buffered operation. In traditional DBR usually calls for buffers at several points in the system: the constraint, synchronization points and at shipping. S-DBR requires only a single buffer at shipping.
The rope is the work release mechanism for the plant. Only a "buffer time" before an order is due does it get released into the plant. Pulling work into the system earlier than a buffer time guarantees high work-in-process and slows down the entire system.
For reference, you can read Chapter 37 of "The Goal", where DBR is summarized. S-DBR is discussed in a paper by Eli Schragenheim and Bill Dettmer, Simplified Drum-Buffer-Rope: A Whole System Approach to High Velocity Manufacturing.
Plant typesEdit
There are four primary types of plants in the TOC lexicon. Draw the flow of material from the bottom of a page to the top, and you get the four types. They specify the general flow of materials through a system, and they provide some hints about where to look for typical problems. The four types can be combined in many ways in larger facilities.
- I-Plant: Material flows in a sequence, such as in an assembly line. The primary work is done in a straight sequence of events. The constraint is the slowest operation.
- A-Plant: The general flow of material is many-to-one, such as in a plant where many sub-assemblies converge for a final assembly. The primary problem in A-plants is in synchronizing the converging lines so that each supplies the final assembly point at the right time.
- V-Plant: The general flow of material is one-to-many, such as a plant that takes one raw material and can make many final products. Classic examples are meat rendering plants or a steel manufacturer. The primary problem in V-plants is "stealing" where one operation (A) at a diverging point "steals" materials from the other (B). Once it has processed through A, it cannot come back and run through B without significant rework.
- T-Plant: The general flow is that of an I (or multiple lines), which then split into many assemblies. Most manufactured parts are used in multiple assemblies and nearly all assemblies use multiple parts. Customized devices, such as computers, are good examples. T-plants suffer from both synchronization problems of A-plants (parts aren't all available for an assembly) and the stealing problems of V-plants (one assembly steals parts that could have been used in another).
Supply chain / logisticsEdit
The solution for supply chain is to move to a replenishment model, rather than a forecast model.
- TOC-Distribution
- TOC-VMI (vendor managed inventory)
Finance and accountingEdit
The solution for finance and accounting is to apply holistic thinking to the finance application. This has been termed Throughput accounting. Throughput accounting suggests that one examine the impact of investments and operational changes in terms of the impact on the throughput of the business. It is an alternative to Cost accounting.
The primary measures for a TOC view of finance and accounting are: Throughput (T), Operating Expense (OE) and Investment (I). Throughput is calculated from Sales (S) - Totally Variable Cost (TVC). Totally Variable Cost is usually consider the cost of raw materials that go into creating the item sold.
See Throughput accounting for more details.
Project managementEdit
- Critical Chain Project Management. Based on the realization that all projects look like A-plants: all operations must converge to a final deliverable. As such, synchronization of activities is a common problem that CCPM seeks to address.
Marketing and salesEdit
While originally focused on manufacturing and logistics, TOC has expanded lately into sales management. First data shows that the sales system is massively constrained and TOC offers significant opportunity to increase enterprise throughput = sales results
- Solution for Sales
The six necessary and sufficient questions relating to technologyEdit
This discussion comes out of The Haystack Syndrome.
- What is the real power of the technology?
- What limitation does it diminish?
- What old rules helped accommodate the limitation?
- What are the new rules that should be used now?
- In light of the change in rules, what changes are required to the technology?
- How to cause the change (the new win/win business model)?
The TOC Thinking Tools Edit
The thinking processes are a set of tools to help managers walk through the steps of initiating and implementing a project. When used in a logical flow, the Thinking Tools help walk through a buy-in process:
- Gain agreement on the problem
- Gain agreement on the direction for a solution
- Gain agreement that the solution solves the problem
- Agree to overcome any potential negative ramifications
- Agree to overcome any obstacles to implementation
TOC practitioners sometimes refer to these in the negative as working through layers of resistance to a change.
The thinking process, as codified by Goldratt and others:
- Current Reality Tree (CRT, similar to the current state map used by many organizations) - evaluates the network of cause-effect relations between the undesirable effects (UDE's, also known as gap elements) and helps to pinpoint the root cause(s) of most of the undesirable effects.
- Evaporating Cloud (conflict resolution diagram or CRD) - solves conflicts that usually perpetuate the causes for an undesirable situation.
- Core Conflict Cloud (CCC) - A combination of conflict clouds based several UDE's. Looking for deeper conflicts that create the undesirable effects.
- Future Reality Tree (FRT, similar to a future state map) - Once some actions (injections) are chosen (not necessarily detailed) to solve the root cause(s) uncovered in the CRT and to resolve the conflict in the CRD the FRT shows the future states of the system and helps to identify possible negative outcomes of the changes (Negative Branches) and to prune them before implementing the changes.
- Negative Branch Reservations (NBR) - Identify potential negative ramifications of any action (such as an injection, or a half-baked idea). The goal of the NBR is to understand the causal path between the action and negative ramifications so that the negative effect can be "trimmed."
- Positive Reinforcement Loop (PRL) - Desired effect (DE) presented in FRT amplifies intermediate objective (IO) that is earlier (lower) in the tree. While intermediate objective is strengthened it positively affects this DE. Finding out PRLs makes FRT more sustaining.
- Prerequisite Tree (PRT) - states that all of the intermediate objectives necessary to carry out an action chosen and the obstacles that will be overcome in the process.
- Transition Tree (TT) - describes in detail the action that will lead to the fulfilment of a plan to implement changes (outlined on a PRT or not).
- Strategy & Tactics (S&T) - the overall project plan and metrics that will lead to a successful implementation and the ongoing loop through POOGI.
Some observers note that these processes are not fundamentally very different from some other management change models such as PDCA "Plan-Do-Check-Act" (which is quite often now displayed as PDSA for Plan-Do-Study-Act as 'checking' merely indicates it's been looked at where 'studying' fosters a proactive approach) or "Survey-Assess-Decide-Implement-Evaluate", but the way they can be used is clearer and more straightforward. More on this can be seen on Goldratt's Theory of Constraints - A Systems Approach to Continuous Improvement by William Dettmer ISBN 0-87389-370-0.
Development and practiceEdit
TOC has been initiated by Eliyahu M. Goldratt and is being actively developed by a loosely coupled community of practitioners around the world. TOC is sometimes referred to as "Constraint Management".
The TOC International Certification Organization maintains a variety of TOC certifications.

Mets sign 11 international prospects
ATLANTA -- The Mets added 11 players on the first day of Major League Baseball's international signing period, the team announced on Wednesday.
The team inked Venezuelan shortstops Yoel Romero and Edgardo Fermin for a reported $300,000 and $250,000, respectively, in addition to Venezuelan left-handed pitcher Daniel Guzman, Dominican right-handed pitchers Agustin Casilla and Jose Moreno, Venezuelan right-handers Jhoander Chourio and Jurgen Jimenez, Dominican outfielder Claudio Geraldo, Venezuelan outfielder Yordin Araujo, Dominican catcher Luis Lebron and Dominican shortstop Hansel Moreno. None of those players ranked in the top 30 of MLB.com's list of international prospects.

Twenty percent of the Mets' active roster is composed of international free agents that the organization originally signed, including starting shortstop Ruben Tejada and center fielder Juan Lagares.
The annual international signing period runs through next June, giving clubs an opportunity to recruit from a new pool of teenage prospects primarily in Latin America. Players must turn 17 years old by Sept. 1, 2015, to be eligible.

WEBSTER, N.Y. (AP) — Emergency radio communications capture someone saying he "could see the muzzle flash coming at me" as a New York state gunman ambushed firefighters responding to a blaze he had set to trap them.
The audio draws a chilling picture of the attack police say William Spengler carried out Monday morning in the Lake Ontario community of Webster.
The audio posted on the website RadioReference.com has someone reporting "firefighters are down" and saying "got to be rifle or shotgun."
Spengler set a blaze to lure the firefighters into his ambush. He killed two and wounded two other firefighters and an off-duty police officer before killing himself.

UF football has the look
Published: Tuesday, April 8, 2014 at 2:34 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 8, 2014 at 5:50 p.m.
Florida fans are going to be pleased with what they see in The Swamp on Saturday — and beyond, Florida football coach Will Muschamp said Tuesday.
UF football
Up next: Open practice Friday, time is TBA
Where: Sanders Practice Fields on UF campus
"I think when they see our football team and offensively where we are … and I think they'll see a formidable unit on defense playing well. … They're going to see a good-looking team," Muschamp said. "We're going to have a good team next year.
"We just need to continue to progress. The summer months are going to be critical for us to continue to take advantage of those opportunities to take the next step offensively and then defensively as well."
While Muschamp is predicting the Gators will look good in the Orange & Blue Debut on Saturday, and on Saturdays in the fall, he's also making it clear that this is still far from a finished product as UF heads into its final practices this spring.
UF still has some holes, some concerns that need to be addressed between now and the Aug. 30 opener against Idaho.
Among the concerns, Muschamp said the Gators still haven't found a second starting cornerback to play opposite standout sophomore Vernon Hargreaves III, the nickel position in the secondary is lacking productivity, there have been too many missed tackles on defense, some poor shotgun snaps on offense, and the talent gap remains too wide on both lines of scrimmage between the starters and reserves.
On the positive side, Muschamp said Kurt Roper's new uptempo offense is ahead of where he thought it would be at this time, quarterback Jeff Driskel and the receivers are having a good spring and the experienced veterans on both sides of the ball are standing out, especially junior defensive end Dante Fowler Jr.
Muschamp said the Gators had another promising scrimmage this past Saturday in The Swamp.
"Overall, pretty pleased with Saturday," he said. "The effort, guys got after it and competed. I think offensively we're further ahead than where I thought we would be at this point as far as from an execution standpoint. There's still some things that we've got to get better and clean up, but I'm pleased with where we are.
"Pretty pleased overall. On both sides of the ball, I thought there were some good things."
On offense, Muschamp said the Gators produced 10 explosive plays — five in the running game, five in the passing game — and averaged more than five yards per rushing attempt.
"I thought we were really efficient on third down, especially in the early part of the scrimmage, keeping drives alive, especially (after) creating some tough downs and distances for our offense," he said. "I thought we ran the ball extremely well with the first group. So, all of those very positive things in the scrimmage. The quarterback run game was outstanding. Jeff was not live, but you could see where it creates a lot of issues for a defense.
"I thought the receivers played well. Ahmad Fulwood had a 52-yard touchdown (catch), a guy who continues to improve. Quinton Dunbar has done some nice things. Demarcus Robinson had a touchdown (catch) off a third-down conversion. He made a couple guys miss. Again, I think the receiver position will continue to make some positive strides there."
On the downside, the centers had some poor shotgun snaps again and the offensive line became fatigued late in the scrimmage, Muschamp said.
"Disappointed (with the bad snaps)," he said. "We repped Trip (Thurman) in there, along with Max (Garcia) and Cam Dillard. If we continue to have those, we need to look in another direction. One bad snap is one too many.
"I thought we got a little tired late, especially up front on the offensive side of the ball. If we're going to be a tempo team that needs to be part of our advantage, so that's something we'll look at in the offseason."
Muschamp said he was pleased with the overall defensive effort in the scrimmage, but the Gators gave up too many big plays, missed too many tackles — and still have two big question marks in the secondary, at the one cornerback position and at nickel.
"We had 22 missed tackles, a lot of those coming in the secondary," Muschamp said. "We don't have a starting nickel right now. Brian (Poole) and Duke (Dawson) have been in there. We may look at Marcus Maye in there. We need to get better at that position. It's a position that's been very productive for us over the years.
"We really need to find a corner opposite Vernon. Jalen (Tabor) and Duke and Brian have all done some nice things at times, but the consistency is not there."
Muschamp said he could see one of the two true freshmen (Tabor or Dawson) winning the starting role at corner.
"Sure. Those guys are definitely in the mix," he said. "They are good players. Eye control is a major issue. When you get into scrimmage situations and the first time you are on your own and coach (Travaris) Robinson is not standing right behind you telling you what exactly to do, that's what happens. You lose your eyes, you start watching the quarterback, you become a spectator in a lot of situations.
"But (overall), I've been pleased with those guys."

A SCHEME to make teachers sit professional 'MOTs' has been described as 'demoralising and impractical'.
Teachers in East Lancashire are said to have responded poorly to the news they would be re-licensed every few years under a Labour government.
Shadow education secretary Tristram Hunt said teachers would not only face regular checks to keep their jobs but also have to show their subject knowledge and skills were up to date.
Blackburn with Darwen and Lancashire's NUT representative said teachers in the area had shown dismay at the initial proposals.
National executive member for the NUT Simon Jones said: "The proposals are not really clear yet and it depends on the detail, but teachers have been a bit dismayed.
"The government is putting a great deal of pressure on teachers and it seems everyone is getting on the bandwagon. Members locally feel they are already well scrutinised, much more so than most other professions.
"Teachers are feeling quite demoralised by this approach. The Finnish system shows that a system where teachers are trusted, not scrutinised is far more effective."
Headteacher Mark Jackson at Haslingden High School said the proposals were surprising.
He said: "It sounds highly impractical and there is no-one actually working in the world of education who feels this is a pressing issue.
"It is easier for headteachers than ever before to hold their staff to account. This would just be more bureaucracy to fall on them.
"It's surprising they chose this issue, unless there is more to it in the fine detail. It has fallen thorough before due to a lack of support and it has little chance of getting that backing now."
The proposals are similar to the plan for 'classroom MOTs' which were drawn up by the last Labour administration, but were abandoned before the 2010 general election.
The framework previously put forward by Ed Balls, the former schools secretary, would have seen teachers scrutinised every five years but the plans were criticised by unions.
Mr Hunt has not given details on how often teachers would need to be re-licensed under his system, and said he would seek to discuss the policy with professional bodies in the near future.

ByShira Ovide
Steve Ballmer's final shareholder meeting Tuesday as Microsoft CEO could have been a goodbye party marking his 33 years at the company. Instead, Ballmer barely mentioned his impending retirement, and defended Microsoft's strategy as though he's not going anywhere.
In a roughly 20-minute speech before hundreds of shareholders, Ballmer gushed about Microsoft products like the new Xbox One videogame machine and Surface tablets. He talked up his strategy of making Microsoft a big player in consumer devices like smartphones, and as a broad supplier of Web-friendly software and technology backbone for businesses.
There was little news on the search for Ballmer's successor. Microsoft Co-Founder and Chairman Bill Gates said he and three other directors on the search committee have been "doing a lot of meetings" with potential CEO candidates, and are "pleased with the progress." But, Gates added, "I'm not going to give a timetable today" on naming Ballmer's replacement.
Gates, who met Ballmer while the men attended Harvard University in the 1970s and brought him to Microsoft just five years after the company's founding, also appeared to choke up toward the end of his time on stage.
Gates paused for a few seconds and his voice broke as he talked about the duo's commitment to "make sure the next CEO is the right person for the right time for the company we both love," he said. "And we share a commitment that Microsoft will succeed as a company that makes the world a better place."
Shareholders at the 90-minute meeting, held at a convention center a few miles from Microsoft's headquarters, peppered Ballmer and other Microsoft executives with questions about U.S. government surveillance programs, Microsoft's planned acquisition of Nokia's cellphone unit, and other subjects.
Nokia's shareholders approved the acquisition Tuesday. Microsoft shareholders aren't required to approve the transaction, which is expected to close early next year.
Ballmer called the $7 billion deal "a signature moment in the transformation of the company," adding, "We clearly have big upside opportunity in devices." He defended the pricey deal, saying, "There's no way for this company to succeed unless it's willing to bet."
One shareholder expressed frustration about the "pitifully stagnant" Microsoft share price. Ballmer, whose Microsoft stake in worth billions, said Microsoft's profits have more than tripled during his 13-year tenure, but the share price has fallen nearly 40%. "I don't know how to answer your question," Ballmer said.
One of the few times Ballmer acknowledged his impending retirement was in response to a man who asked whether Ballmer would be interested in running the information-technology operations for the U.S. government, which is suffering from technical glitches at the healthcare-enrollment website.
"Thank you for trying to help me find work," Ballmer quipped.
