Data From PowerSecure Shows Industry-Leading Reliability From Company's Integrated Backup Power System
PowerSecure International, Inc. (Nasdaq: POWR) announced today that PowerSecure's end-to-end standby power solution offered a higher degree of reliability than many standby systems which serve the nuclear power industry, according to data from both PowerSecure and the nuclear industry presented by Steve Fairfax, President of MTechnology at the 24x7 conference in Phoenix, AZ.
Mr. Fairfax evaluated data from more than 1,000 sites where the PowerSecure solution was used in both load management and standby power settings over a five year period from 2007 through 2012.
He found that during 5,234 power outage events (excluding outages due to human error or equipment repair situations) which occurred during this period, the PowerSecure solution delivered a 96.1 percent success rate. This level of success for the PowerSecure system exceeds the typical performance of standby systems which serve the nuclear power industry.
"The data on the reliability of the PowerSecure backup power solution includes more than 50,000 datapoints. This is more than 10 times the amount of data cited in comparable nuclear studies and allows us to draw robust conclusions about the enhanced reliability of the system," Fairfax said.
Unlike other approaches to providing backup power, which can include engineering, components, assembly, maintenance and monitoring from different, uncoordinated providers, PowerSecure offers customers an integrated end-to-end solution which streamlines design engineering, construction, deployment and monitoring to allow for significant efficiencies and improved system performance. "These data highlight how PowerSecure's integrated and comprehensive system expertise provides value and efficiency to customers with an immediate feedback loop that allows our teams to monitor performance in real time and take instant action to restore power if it is lost," said Sidney Hinton, chief executive officer of PowerSecure. "Because of our industry-leadership in distributed generation, we have seen this segment of our business grow by 36 percent in the last 12 months and, as recent weather events in the Northeast have reinforced, we see a continuing unmet need for the reliability our solutions provide," Hinton added.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Exceptional workmanship. Very detailed etching. I originally purchased this same item in a black finish but was not happy with it because the detail was obscured but in the silver finish, they are very pretty. Hope to get them installed this weekend so no pictures to share yet.

Having holiday fun at a recording session on Maui.

Tom Conway, Micah Nelson, Lily Meola
Sunday, December 28th, 2014Lily Meola, Tom Conway, Gannon's on Maui (Dec 28, 2014)
Monday, December 15th, 2014
This will be a magical night for beautiful music. So much talent. Make your reservations soon.
Willie Nelson, Lily Meola, "Will You Remember Mine".
Gannon's After Dark is proud to present an intimate concert with Maui's own Lily Meola on Sunday, December 28th at 9:00 pm. Lily will be joined by Tommy Conway on guitar and Marcus Johnson on bass. Tickets are $15 and seating is limited so purchase your tickets early. Tickets may be purchased by calling 808-875-8080.
Lily has recorded a duet and performed with Willy Nelson. Her fans include Michale Buble and producer-guitarist Bob Rock, Pat Simmons (The Doobie Brothers), and Makana. Although Lily is a young talent, she has "a voice 10 times her size", according to Makana. Michael Buble says, "Lily is a force of nature who as an artist defies all genres of music. I am a huge fan and look forward to watching her career blossom."
Dallas Wayne sits in with Tom Conway
Wednesday, May 14th, 2014"Great to see my friend Dallas Wayne at my gig tonight – all the way from Austin, TX!" — Tom Conway
Oh, Dallas, you are a long ways from Austin. Tom Conway wrote on Facebook that Dallas Wayne, singer-song-writer-Sirius/XM producer and on air host, sat in with him Monday night at his show in Maui. There's a couple of handsome musicians. (Thanks Sandra for taking the photo,)
Willie Nelson Guitar Pick of the Day (Tom Conway's score)
Tuesday, March 18th, 2014Thank you Tom Conway, for sharing the photo of his souveniers from his excellent adventure in Texas.
Listen to Tom Conway's music at his website and youtube, and you will see why this talented guitar player has been frequently invited to sit in with Willie Nelson. He is amazing, he's a nice guy, too, and a big fan who appreciates the honor of sitting in with Willie Nelson and Family. I like that that.

Sunday, January 5th, 2014You might not recognize him behind those Foster Grants, but that is master guitarist extraoridinaire, or whatever adjectives I can think of to describe an amazing guitarist, — Tom Conway, on a whale-watching, reef clean-up excursion off Maui, with his lovely humanitarian wife Sandra.
Tom toured with Willie Nelson and Family last year for a few shows, including Farm Aid in Saratoga Springs, NY. To learn more about Tom and his music (his cds are fantastic, he's such a maestro):

Thursday, December 19th, 2013
Enjoy this beautiful rendition of the classic "Sleigh Ride" by Tom Conway and his Hawaiian gypsy jazz band, Gypsy Pacific. If this doesn't get you in the holiday mood, I don't know what will.
If you love their music as much as I do, and I know you will, you can buy a copy of their album at Tom Conway's website:

A cozy night with Willie Nelson & Family
Monday, September 16th, 2013Maui Guitarist Tom Conway joining Willie Nelson & Family for September shows
Tuesday, September 10th, 2013Willie Nelson, Tom Conway at Charley's, in Pa'ai.
Great news for music lovers, and especially for fans of Tom Conway's guitar playing (of which I have been one for a long time), Willie Nelson has invited Tom, who lives and performs in Maui, to join him for a few shows this month. Tom will join Willie for his performance on the QVC show on Thursday, September 12th, and will tour through September, including the Farm Aid Show in Saratoga Springs on September 21, 2013.
Can't wait to hear Tom with the band. I have been enjoying his music since he and his former band recorded Willie Nelson's, "Peaceful Solution" song.
Willie Nelson recorded with Tom's former band, "Gypsy Pacific"a few years ago, and Tom later flew to Austin to record more songs. No news of that album's release, but I look forward to it when it is! The band performed a beautiful version of Peaceful Solution', written by Willie and Amy Nelson, which is included in Tom Conway's solo album
"I have been a fan of Django Reinhardt since I first heard him & Stephane Grapelli with the Hot Club Band from France. Tom Conway and his band play Django's music right along side the other great Django bands – they can hold their own…and more! I know Django would be proud that his music is so elegantly presented on the island of Maui and now for the rest of the world."
– Willie Nelson

Hi all!
Stumbled across your corner of the internet in the last couple days. Decided to check in myself.
My wife and I both have our Lifetime License to carry in the fine, gun friendly, state of Indiana. I generally carry an H&K P30. I'm a Ham Radio operator, like Unix like operating systems, and generally qualify as the village geek.
Hopefully I'll bring something to the site. I'm certain I'll take information away.

Love this!! You can also make it with crescent roll dough, cuts out one ingredient, makes a great appetizer!
-Chic Done Cheap
Yum!! This looks absolutely delicious. And I love the simplicity of it! I think everyone should have a recipe like this in their arsenal.
Looks yummy!! Thanks for the recipe!!
Look yummy!
When I saw this recipe, my jaw hit the floor! As a child, my mother made this (we call it "Sausage Roll") every year for Christmas breakfast. I am now 45 years old and my mother has been gone since 1983 and I have never seen this recipe any where but with our family. It definitely did my heart good to see this!

Okay, BriarCraft has inspired me again. After checking out her blog, I rememberd I had two of those Buzzy herb plant kits. One was Basil and the other Parsley. Though I thought they were just alike turns out they were not. The basil had a soil pod that you drop into 3/4 cup of lukewarm water and the planter was a metal container. The parsley had a bag of loose soil medium of some sort and a clear plastic insert that stays inside the carton container. Go figure. I had pulled them out. When I came back to my blog this evening, there was a reminder from BriarCraft to plant them. So, okay, I planted them and took a photo to share. Oh, and I forgot to say that the Basil kit had a neat little chalkboard like label attached to a clothespin. Of course I did not have any chalk handy to write with.
Niche Gardens sent me a Spring Season Newsletter by email today. They also mentioned their Facebook page. If you remember I featured them in one of my blogs and shared some photos I took while there and ooohed and ahhed on and on about their catalog cover and the artist, etc. If you go to their FB page you can see those catalog covers I was talking about. Just Beautiful! I am ready for another roadtrip back to Niche Gardens first chance I get.
As you all know I have been going crazy with the cardinals and anything else that moves lately. I just can't stop myself - Just keep on shooting JUST ONE MORE SHOT because they never leave. I am one that I don't stop or go until the bird leaves.
Today, after seeing Pros's photo of her neighbor's beautiful flowers, I was determine to go out and find spring on my afternoon walk. I even did the hilly walk as figured might not find too many flowers along my flat woodsy walk. It was not easy as seems mostly everyone has shrub type flowers right now. Spring flowers just are not here yet. I found the startings of buttercups like the greenery but no buds as yet.
Later on my walk, I found some type of buds looking like they are right ready to pop open. I didn't get the really nice ones as the owner came over and stood right where she shadowed that bunch. She said that whatever it was had purple blooms. That means now I am going to have to do that hilly walk everyday to check to see if they are in bloom.
So I am afraid it is still very much winter here. Actually, I see more signs of spring in that cardinal tree!
Feel free to share signs of spring that you are finding. Calpoppy, wish I could send some cardinals your way but will keep posting my cardinal photos for you.

Hi Sandi! Yes, Spring day here of at least 72 if not higher. Spring is almost here per calendar and today's weather shouted S - P - R - I - N - G - ! Hi Briarcraft, Yes, we had snow again followed by 60s and 70s temps. The feeder is made of cedar and plexiglass I am thinking. It does look like it has a metal rod down the the center in the photo but I don't think it does. Think that is a very thick twine of some sort. You fill it from the top. Guess what? My parsley peeked through the soil today. The basil had broken through perhaps last Friday, the 7th of March. I only planted them on the evening of March 27th. I love watching plants grow. Just be sure to remind me to thin them out in a few days. I am the world's worst for not being able to make myself pull some of them up. So BE my conscience! |
Good grief! Snow?! I come by to see more bird photos, which of course I did, but then I find more snow photos as well. I like your "First Feeder". Simple, practical design that keeps the seed dry and keeps bird squabbles to a minimum. How do you refill it? Is the other side of the roof hinged? And is it hanging from a rod that goes all the way through the bottom? I guess you know I'm asking because I like to build feeders and nesting boxes and I'm always on the look-out for nifty designs. |
I have to agree with Barbara, yesterday nature was in full swing in Europe. I saw my first bees, three kinds of butterflies and the birds are all doing what birds do in spring!! lol Although today it is back to winter again!! Hope it is warming up for you. |
Hi Barb! Thanks for stopping by and sharing this lovely photo! Oh, I just love this photo! WOW! What a lovely place to visit and watch nature! Great photo! |
Hi, weatherwise! I've spent this weekend with very bright weather in our rural weekend estate and took this photo while sunset. A lot of accomodations in the woods are waiting for new residents as this one (those birdhouses are provided by a local association). Nature is in full swing in Germany! |
Gosh, didn't realize it had been a while since I stopped by. I guess I heard someone mention the dreaded 'P' word. The Green Blizzard has started here. YAY! Ana and Pavan have been released and we have a new Phoebe and a new nest! |
I had a new blog entry all ready to publish and somehow accidentally closed the window! It is late and can't redo it all right now. Later! Happy Daylight Savings time! Hope I can get up in time to go to church! |
Thank you for posting on my Blog. I enjoy your bird photos. I haven't tried birds yet (other than a few geese shots). thank you for sharing them. |
I was sure I came to leave a comment this morning, but then I remembered I got side tracked, going off to your photo in the gallery, and never came back. I love how the squirrel clears the snow for the birds... that's what I call companion friendship! Hope that is the end of the snow and it warms up soon! |
Holy moly, winter just doesn't want to go away, does it? The local wildlife is lucky that they have you providing them with food during this awful weather. In return, you get some lovely photos. |
It is snowing and already sticking here! Winter Storm Warning in effect until noon EST Friday |
Amazing - Looks like a new hummingbird nest on the rose bush cam! Hummingbird Nest Cam |
HI, we are overcast but warming today. Going to wait until tomorrow to get out in the yard. Hey if you like drawing you might like to get a graphics tablet and a program called Sketch Book Pro6. Really fun to play with. It does take a lot of practice to draw on a tablet and watch it happen on the screen though. |
Thanks, Skye! Some days I get lots of bird shots and some days hardly any. I usually share my best shots - sometimes good and sometimes not so great. So what did you do with that pumpkin plant - trim it back or pull it up? Nice cormorant shot, Sandi! I checked out your Flickr photo page - really neat - not sure I understand the format completely but like the comment section for each photo and also that it tells you who added your photo to their favorites. Thanks for sharing. Well, here we go again - back on the weather roller coaster again: Winter Weather Advisory in effect from 6 PM this evening to noon EST Friday... Rest of Today Mostly cloudy. Highs around 40. Northeast winds 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph. » ZIP Code Detail Tonight Cloudy. A chance of snow and sleet in the evening... then sleet likely with freezing rain with rain likely after midnight. Little or no snow and sleet accumulation. Ice accumulation around a trace. Lows in the upper 20s. Northeast winds 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph. Chance of precipitation 80 percent. Friday Rain and freezing rain in the morning...then rain in the afternoon. Ice accumulation around a trace. Highs in the lower 40s. North winds 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph. Chance of precipitation near 100 percent. » ZIP Code Detail Friday Night Mostly cloudy with a slight chance of rain in the evening...then partly cloudy after midnight. Lows in the lower 30s. Northwest winds 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 20 percent. |
I meant to say something about the cormorant photos. They always 'hang out their wings to dry'.... I caught one in a similar position! I do not make the collages in Flickr, but in PicMonkey. I just use Flickr as a photos storage and display facility. It is very similar to WU photos, but without the galleries. Each photographer posts their own, and then displays them in groups... like my Birds and Wildlife UK group, which now has over 11,000 members. Have a look at the front page to see what I mean if you like. |
It's like beautiful exotic aviary in here:) Pulled off a planting frenzy today. Spotted a pumpkin plant planning on taking over. |
It's March -- meteorological spring has begun. It is not supposed to snow at this time of year! We've been getting drenched today, so bad that I'm going to have to use an umbrella to feed the birds. I've been waiting all afternoon for a break in the rain, but it's getting late and I still haven't replenished the feeders. Better go and do that right now. No more excuses. I hope it warms up for you soon!!! |

Thank you Sandi! Yes big dip in temps - 17 this am at 8:30 am this morning and was quite cold over night with a light covering of snow. Thanks for sharing your beautiful birds. I am impressed with your collage from Flickr. I have not ever tried Flickr. Great job. An inside day for me most likely depending on how quickly the temps rise and the winds die down. It is only to get to 29 F by noon and perhaps 38 F by 3pm according to the NWS Hourly Forecast for Tuesday. My WMU meeting was canceled for today. My son was to speak on his family's recent almost month long mission trip to Costa Rico . We were all looking forward to him coming to speak for us. However with the weather closing schools and even the local university - Averett University and the community college - Danville Community College, we definitely had to cancel. I think my son was disappointed as well but has rescheduled for next month. So inside day mostly except need to go out and take water. Saw where perhaps the squirrels dug a hole in the snow-topped bird bath hoping to find water. Of course, all is frozen. If the temp surprises me and rises above 40 I will make a quick walk down the street and back later today. Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day! Glad your temps are warm and hope this front doesn't roll over your way across the ocean! |
Hi there, your temperatures really did take a dive, didn't they! I don't think we have ever had such a violent swing. Today is probably the warmest day since last November. The sun is shining, and out of the wind it is warm! Your thrush is very similar to ours, about the same size, too, unlike the robin, ours being a third the size of yours. We have two resident thrush birds, a song thrush and a mistle thrush. Both sing beautifully and the only difference is the splodges on their chest. The song thrush has upside-down hearts, whereas the mistle has splodges! We then get two other thrushes who fly in from the continent during the spring - the fieldfare and the redwing. I made this collage to show someone on Flickr the differences, so I hope you don't mind me posting it here:) |
That is an excellent series on the robin family in the gutter. Nice of them to nest in such a convenient place! I saw my first ever Varied Thrush this morning! It's always exciting to me when I see someone new come visit. |
Thanks, Skye! Love the white rabbits! Yes, Calpoppy! It was amazing to have temps in the 70s today but we have a winter storm warning for tomorrow - go figure! Quite a huge change - so the roller coaster continues. Winter Weather Advisory in effect from 7 am to 7 PM EST Monday Tonight Cloudy. Rain likely...mainly after midnight. Lows in the mid 30s. Southwest winds around 10 mph...becoming northeast after midnight. Chance of rain 70 percent. Monday Rain...sleet and snow in the morning...then snow in the afternoon. Snow and sleet accumulation of 1 to 3 inches. Much cooler with highs in the upper 30s. Temperature falling into the mid 20s in the afternoon. Northeast winds 15 to 20 mph. Chance of precipitation near 100 percent. Monday Night Mostly cloudy with a chance of snow in the evening...then partly cloudy after midnight. Little or no additional snow accumulation. Much colder with lows around 13. Northeast winds around 10 mph. Chance of snow 30 percent. Wind chill values as low as 7 above. Tuesday Mostly sunny. Highs in the upper 30s. Northeast winds around 10 mph in the morning...becoming light and variable. Wind chill values as low as 4 above in the morning. Tuesday Night Partly cloudy in the evening...then becoming mostly cloudy. Cold with lows around 19. Light and variable winds. Wednesday Mostly sunny. Highs in the mid 40s. |
Wow, you are at 71 degrees!! Spring has arrived for you. You are beating my temp by quite a lot!! I love seeing the fledglings! We get the occasional robin here, they are mostly up in the mountains right to the south of us, that is where they nest. But when they do come they stay awhile! |
WHITE RABBITS, WHITE RABBITS, WHITE RABBITS A very happy month of March, full of walks, photos and sketches!! :-) |
My little Birds and Buds lady cardinal made AC this am! Quite Exciting! Do I pick 'em, or what? I said that was my favorite of the series before it had a blue border. The sparrow is precious, but Lady Cardinal IS spring. |
What fun! There is no right or wrong in art when it comes to color. One paints what one 'sees' and if you see blue for a red Cardinal, blue it is! It is your drawing/painting and you are the artist, you have the say so! Enjoyed looking at your colorful sketches. Keep drawing, sketching, painting. |
We are a rainy, stormy California today! Waiting for a break in the rain to take the pups to the creek to see if it is finally running! One pup doesn't mind the rain one can't stand it. :) Watch your temp by the window for your basil, it doesn't like it under 40 degrees. Parsley likes cooler temps. The wind was so strong this morning the hummers had a hard time flying! They also had a hard time getting in sync with the swinging feeder!! |
Hi GardenGrrl! Thanks for stopping by! Yes, I love the digital world of photography! My little Birds and Buds lady cardinal made AC this am! Quite Exciting! Found a sunny window for my starter pots of basil and parsley this am. My windowsills are too narrow to hold this size pot especially since it has loose soil in it. However, I propped a serving tray on window sill with the other end on a table which is also a sunny spot. I thought against the window was better. Plus is quite warm there as a heat vent is right below. Happy SUNNY but COLD Friday from VA! |
Lol taking a bunch of shots. When I first got a digital camera I was still in "film" mode and would only take a few pictures. Now it is not uncommon to come back with 200 shots to go through after a long walk. Sure helps me remember where I have been. |
Hi SKYE, Ooooh! Thanks for reminding me of the yellow/green stuff to come! I had forgotten all about that in my search for spring! Was just looking for some beauty of flowers peeking up and some warmth! You are right - We will soon be seeking relief from the pollen and the heat. Thanks, BriarCraft, for the great encouragement and inspiration to get planting and to be out and about getting photos on my daily walks. It is a nice sunny morn here in VA but is COLD! A cold 25 but windchill of 20 at 8:30am with a promise of 43. Hope it makes it up that high - I can handle walking at 43 if not windy. Happy Friday, Everyone! |
Meant to comment on your herb boxes too.. Nice to have some all inclusive gardening options out there for the window gardener. I've been amazed by the size & yield people are getting out of soil-less growing medium too. I've seen 5 ft tomato plants with heavy yields out of not even 3" round soil-less root balls. |

Basho Office in Cambridge is All New
April 30, 2012
The majority of the Basho team is descending upon Cambridge, MA this week for an All-Hands Meetup. We're a distributed company, and function well as such, but it's great to get everyone together when feasible to see new faces, build culture, and reinforce why we are all a part of the company. We all look forward to these meetups, but this one is extra-special: we have a new office in Cambridge.
Basho was founded here in 2008, and since then Cambridge has served as our headquarters while we work on database world domination. On April 2nd, the crew here in Cambridge moved into a new space on the 2nd Floor at 700 Massachusetts Avenue. Located above Rodney's Bookstore, this place has all the charm of a space built for a startup with all the amenities that come with recurring revenue; the best of both worlds.
We'll be doing a good number of events out of this space, the first of which is the Boston Clojure Meetup. If you're passing through the Boston area and need a desk for a day, or simply want to stop by and chat about databases, coffee, and beer, get in touch with Reid Draper – firstname.lastname@example.com – or shoot a message to us on Twitter and we'll do our best to accommodate.
And if you want to work for Basho in Cambridge, San Francisco, Reston, or out of your home office, we are hiring talented individuals across the board.
Berkeley DB at Yammer
April 26, 2012
At Basho we love Yammer. Besides making a product that we rely on internally, they are long-time Riak fans and advocates, and have built a large Riak cluster to power notifications for their entire user base. But not every use case is a fit for Riak. Running multiple databases in production is not uncommon, and skilled engineering teams like Yammer's will always select the best tool for the job.
To that end, Ryan Kennedy, Yammer's Director of Core Services, presented at BashoChats 003 about some of the impressive work that he and his colleagues are doing with Berkeley DB. He goes in depth on how they came to select BDB, what they added on top of Berkeley to ensure it could scale and satisfy their availability requirements, and what their data set and request profile look like in production. There's a lot of worthwhile and valuable information in here. (Ryan's slides are here if you're interested in the PDF.
Enjoy, and if you're interested in speaking at a future BashoChats meetup, email me – firstname.lastname@example.com. Also, if you want to work with companies like Yammer, Twitter, Square, Simple, LinkedIn, and Basho building distributed systems, you should be at the next meetup. Keep an eye on the Meetup page for details.
Erlang Factory SF and Basho Bash 2012
March 26, 2012
This is a big week for Basho.
Erlang Factory
A handful of Basho employees are in San Francisco this week for Erlang Factory SF 2012, taking place March 26th – March 31st at the Marines' Memorial Club and Hotel in Union Square.
The first three days of Erlang Factory are primarily workshops, and Daniel Reverri will be teaching a 3 day class on Building Distributed Clusters with Riak. All attendees will walk away with a clear understanding of exactly why Riak is the best distributed database you will ever run in production.>
The actual conference spans Thursday – Friday, and the talk lineup for this year's event is exceptional. The Basho team will be well-represented. Put these talks on your calendar if you're attending:
- Test-First Construction of Distributed Systems – Joseph Blomstedt
- Building Healthy Distributed Systems – Mark Phillips
- Building Cloud Storage Services with Riak – Andy Gross
In addition to actual talks, Dizzy Smith will be running The Polyglot Programmer track and Steve Vinoski is hosting the Big Data portion of the Factory.
Several members of the Riak Community are also on the schedule:
- Erlang for .NET Developers – OJ Reeves
- Rewriting GitHub Pages with Riak Core, Riak KV, and Webmachine – Jesse Newland
Basho Bash West
We're really excited about all the success surrounding Riak in 2011 and we're continuously building on that momentum as we move deeper into 2012. The number of Riak users and community members are growing exponentially so we decided to throw a party to celebrate. We're calling it Basho Bash West 2012, and it's co-sponsored by our friends at Joyent, Yammer and Voxer.
Come join us on Thursday, March 29th, at 6:30PM. We are renting out Roe, and you won't be allowed to pay for anything. You'll also be leaving with some limited edition Riak swag that will make you the envy of all your friends. Various members of the Basho team will be in attendance, along with hundreds of developers, executives, and technology enthusiasts from the Bay Area. Miss this at your peril.
You must RSVP to attend.
Thomas Santero – Technical Evangelist
I'm happy to announce the addition of Thomas Santero to the Basho family. Thomas (who also goes by "Tom") is joining as Technical Evangelist and will be part of the Community Team.
He's based in Staten Island and will be focusing his time on bringing Riak to developers everywhere along the Eastern seaboard. If you're anywhere near Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, DC, etc., and aren't yet using Riak, Tom will soon change this. He'll also be supporting global community growth in various venues as Riak adoption continues to explode in all corners of the world.
Tom can be found on Twitter as tsantero and goes by the same nick on IRC. Say "hello" when you get the chance and ask him a hard question about Riak.
*We are hiring another Technical Evangelist based in London or Amsterdam. If you want to help us take over Europe, get in touch with me – email@example.com.
Welcome, Tom!
Instant-ish Real Service Architecture
March 5, 2012
Happy Monday. What better way to start the week than with a smart, insightful tech talk from a thoughtful, talented engineer?
Ted Nyman is the lead engineer at Simple, a startup that is changing the way people bank. Ted was kind enough to come out to BashoChats last week in San Francisco to share his views on building scalable, JVM-based services that just work in a talk called *Instant-ish Real Service Architecture*.
This talks runs just under 40 minutes and covers everything from valuable lessons learned shipping production applications to high-level, illustrative code samples that demonstrate how and why you should use the Dropwizard framework and its reliable, battle-tested underlying libraries when you need to ship services that make money. Ted's also an entertainer and he brings almost as much humor and wit as he does worthwhile lessons and knowledge.
Ted's slides are here. Join BashoChats so you can be a part of the next Meetup. And if have an idea for a talk at a future BashoChats, email *email@example.com*.
How Eventual is Eventual Consistency?
March 2, 2012
The second BashoChats Meetup was held last week at BashoWest. The office was packed with area developers and our two speakers, Ted Nyman and Peter Bailis, each delivered exceptional talks. Our awesome videographer Matt Fisher finished Peter's talk first and it's so good that we didn't see any reason to keep it from you while he put the final touches on Ted's.
Peter is Graduate Student in the much-heralded Berkeley CS department. Suffice it to say that we were honored to have him at BashoChats. He and some colleagues have been working on something called Probabilistically Bounded Staleness for Practical Partial Quorums (PBS). In short, PBS aims to define just how eventual "eventual consistency" is, and their research produced some fascinating findings that should affect how people view and deploy distributed databases like Riak, Cassandra and Voldemort.
This talk, the subject matter, and the presenter are all fantastic. Watch it twice and tell three friends about it. (The PDF version of the slides are here for any interested parties.)
We'll have Ted Nyman's talk up next week. In the meantime, join BashoChats so you can be a part of the next event.
Riak Control
February 22, 2012
Riak Control is Basho's new OSS, REST-driven, user-interface for Riak. The code has been available for a few months now, but it's officially supported in Riak 1.1, so we wanted share some details on what it's about and why you should be excited about it.
Lowering the Barrier for Entry
Once a Riak cluster is up and running we want it to be as hands-free to administer as possible. Things should "just work," like plumbing. But we'll be the first to admit that a new user's initial welcoming with Riak isn't always as pleasant as it should be.
Some steps are unavoidable: downloading, installing, and/or building from source, etc. But once the initial work is done, the experience should be as inviting as possible. Riak is a very powerful database with numerous options and commands. Riak Control allows you to easily manage/inspect your cluster while ignoring many of these until needed.
Empowering Riak Administrators
When we first sat down to decide what the more important features for any Riak interface should be, one theme stood out above all the others: cluster management. We wanted to give developers and administrators the ability to quickly build a cluster, inspect nodes, and diagnose the health of their cluster. And we wanted it to happen fast.
Riak is about large datasets and clusters replicating that dataset for maximum availability and persistence. We're working hard to help companies that write many, many GBs per day to clusters containing 50+ nodes. Riak Control is a tool that brings issues and risks front-and-center. And it gives customers the ability to take action in real-time.
The Two-Minute Tour
Riak Control is currently broken up into nested levels of detail. Each page in Riak Control is designed to give you just as much information as you need, nothing more. As you navigate the UI, you'll gradually be taken deeper into the rabbit hole.
The Overview/Snapshot
The Snapshot is what you'll see when you first fire up Riak Control. It should give you a warm-fuzzy feeling when everything is A-okay: an unmistakable, beautiful green check mark.
For times when things aren't perfect, you will be presented with a list of concern areas. Each will have links to other pages of Riak Control where you can take a closer look at the problem.
The Cluster
The cluster page is where you can get a quick look at all of the nodes in your cluster and manage membership.
With a glance you can see which nodes are partitioned from the rest of the cluster or offline, which are leaving or joining the cluster, view partition ownership, monitor memory, and more. And with a click you can add nodes to the cluster, take nodes offline for maintenance, and leave the cluster.
The Ring
One level deeper than the cluster view is the ring page. This is where you can see the health of each partition. Most of the time, your ring will be too large to really manage from the ring view. But with the filters you can immediately find which partitions are owned by which nodes, partitions whose primary nodes are unreachable, current handoffs, and more.
What's Next?
Riak Control is not standing still. Riak 1.1 includes Riak Control in its early stages so we can begin to gather feedback. We want to know what it does right and what it does wrong. Your feedback and ideas are encouraged. Additionally, we have a list of features and functionality slated for future releases. None of these are set in stone, but here is a list of what we have planned…
While Riak Control is – at its heart – a simple REST API, we're working to modularize it in a way that allows you to write your own modules/plugins. We want to see Riak Control become a collection of pieces that all snap and work together, empowering you to manage your cluster in the way that best fits your needs.
Event streaming
Currently Riak Control uses a pull model to gather information about the cluster. While this isn't a performance issue, we very much want to make it a push-system. As things happen to the cluster, the cluster should notify Riak Control of the changes, which in-turn will notify the user.
Node Statistics
Clicking on a node name from anywhere should take you to a page giving details specifically about that node, similar to the data you would get from a riak-admin status
Bucket & Object Inspection
While low-level object manipulation isn't designed to be a primary feature of Riak Control, it is a very handy tool to have, and extremely valuable when initially setting up Riak for the first time. More importantly, Riak buckets will be available to create and inspect.
MapReduce Queries
Riak Control will feature a powerful interface for creating MapReduce queries. You will be able to debug, save, load, and execute previously saved queries with ease.
Customer Support Tools
In addition to the general tools provided for manipulation of the cluster and data, we also are planning for improve monitoring tools.
- View the log files of individual nodes
- See graphs of load, memory latency, disk usage, etc.
- Coalesce and bundle data for support tickets
- File support tickets
Any Comments, Questions, or Feature Requests?
Anything you'd like to share or ask? Join the Riak-Users Mailing List and tell us what you think. The other option is to fork the code and make your opinions known with a pull request or by filing an issue. You can also find some formal documentation on the Riak Wiki.
Thanks for being a part of Riak.
Basho is a Proud Sponsor of Travis CI
February 07, 2012
The crowd-funding site for the Travis CI Project went live this morning. For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of working with it, Travis is a "distributed build system for the open source community" with support for Ruby, PHP, Clojure, Erlang, and JavaScript (with more on the way). The team working full-time on Travis consists of Josh Kalderimis, Sven Fuchs, Konstantin Haase, Michael Klishin, and Mathias Meyer (who is the most recent addition). In just over a year, they have built a significant amount of support and momentum around the tool. As of this morning, Travis had run over 400,000 tests for just more than 5,400 open source projects; not bad for something that was a side project of Fuchs' until last February.
Basho's usage of Travis is mainly via Riak's client libraries and we've been thrilled with it to date. Over the past few months, Sean Cribbs, Basho's lead on Riak's Ruby Client, has been using Travis. Reid Draper, another member of the Basho Team, has also started using it for builds of Sumo, a Riak Clojure Client that he and a few others are spearheading. There is also a handful of other Riak-related projects that are using Travis regularly.
Based on Sean and Reid's experience with Travis and their opinion of the project's usefulness and viability, it was an easy decision for us to donate money to support its ongoing development. Basho is also dedicated to the usage and proliferation of quality open source projects, and Travis is a great example of this. So we are proud to be a Silver Sponsor of Travis CI and are looking forward to watching the tool and its community grow.
Riak In Production At Posterous
January 31, 2012
The videos from last month's San Francisco Riak Meetup are online and ready for consumption. The first features Julio Capote giving a short overview of the work he and Posterous are doing with Riak as a post cache. The second presentation was from Mark Phillips and it was all about Riak Control, the new Riak Admin Tool that will be fully supported in the forthcoming Riak 1.1 release.
We also need to give a special thanks to Jana Boruta and the team at StackMob for furnishing the awesome venue.
Enjoy, and thanks for being a part of Riak.
Riak In Production At Posterous
This talk runs about 11 minutes. In it, Julio details the importance of the post cache at Posterous, what their initial solution to the problem was, and how they went about selecting Riak over MongoDB, MySQL, and Redis.
Preview of Riak Control
This talk runs just under 30 minutes. Mark starts with a history of the Riak Admin UI, details Basho's motivations for writing and open-sourcing Riak Control, and then gives a live demo of the tool and talks about future enhancements.

ROSS REILY: This has nothing to do with Downton Abbey
by Ross Reily
Published: July 17,2014
Tags: Business, Downton Abbey, Great Britain, Mississippi, PBS, trade
So, Her Majesty's Consul General in Atlanta Jeremy Pilmore-Bedford was breezing through Mississippi last week and decided to make a stop at the Mississippi Business Journal.
It wasn't that long ago that the Consul General from Canada Stephen Brereton came by and visited with us, but somehow it feels a little different when you're handed a business card for someone working for "Her Majesty".
The Consul General for any country spends time promoting trade. When Brereton visited, he made a point of noting that Canada was Mississippi's most polific trading parter.
This time, Pilmore-Bedford made sure to point out that Great Britain is America's most prolific trade partner and that the U.K. is looking for ways to increase trade between the U.K. and Mississippi.
While in Jackson, Pilmore-Bedford met with Gov. Phil Bryant, Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, a representative from MDA's Trade Office and other state officials. He also toured the construction of Mississippi Power's Kemper County energy facility to learn about carbon capture technology. The U.K. has two similar pilot projects in North Yorkshire and Aberdeen, Scotland, and is closely watching construction of the Kemper County facility.
Pilmore-Bedford, a lifelong diplomat, has only been on the job in Atlanta since late last year, therefore he is still learning a lot about the South.
On this trip the Mississippi Development Authority helped steer his visit as it wants to promote a long-term growth, job creation and the internationalization of the state's economy.
Pilmore-Bedford had many nice things to say about Mississippi, its people, workforce, education and general hospitality of the state.
But if you're wondering what sticks out most about his trip to Mississippi, there are three things.
First, as you might expect, Pilmore-Bedford is more than flattering when it comes to Bryant and Mississippi. He notes that Mississippi is "a very business friendly state as is most of the South, but Mississippi goes above and beyond."
Secondly, he says the most asked question on his tour of the Magnolia State is how does he like fried food in Mississippi?
"Fine, thank you," is his reply.
Lastly, other that business issues and pointing out Great Britain's largest corporations that do business in America, Pilmore-Bedford says the single largest misconception of Mississippians about Great Britain is that life there is somehow just like it was in the PBS drama "Downton Abbey."
I'm not sure there is anything there really to learn except from that other thant there a lot of us that can't wait for the Season 4.

I'm remodeling my kitchen and in the attic above the kitchen, on the baseboard pipes (which run through the attic to the bedrooms) is a Maid-O-Mist No. 66 Auto Vent (see images below, linked to Dropbox). It is clearly in need of replacement and I'd like to replace it now that I have easy access. I think it's on the supply line, it's on the pipe that runs off the circulation pump.
The boiler has it's own pressure relief valve (and the boiler will be replaced this spring).
My question is is this the correct placement of this vent and is this the correct type of vent? Just about everything in this house was done incorrectly so I thought I'd check on this before I just swap it out.
Should I move it to a more accessible loaction? This loaction will be very difficult to access once the ceiling is back up.
And is there any thing I need to do with this vent once it's replaced (I'm also replacing a section of baseboard in this zone) such as purge air? Or does it do this automatically?

"Chingaso the Clown" is something of a cheat: a short film designed as a calling card for a potential feature. The real problem is that the film is so wonderful that it's a shame the feature-length version has yet to be made.
Set in the town of Messiah, a one-time farmland turned to ruin by a war between clowns and mimes, the film follows the eponymous Chingaso on a quest for revenge. Chingaso (a burly, tattooed, hostile clown) is seeking the man who murdered his parents. That miscreant is none other than Bastard the Clown – imagine Bozo through an Abel Ferrara lens and you have the villain. But it seems that Bastard is just a lieutenant in the army of evil clowns. The real brains belongs to Long Prey, a leather-clad dominatrix.
Elias Matar's film, based on the Manny Elias comic book, is packed with hilarious lines. When Chingaso announces the reason for his mission, Bastard answers back: "So what? I killed my own parents. Do you hear me complaining about it?" When Long Prey meets her enemy, she sneers: "Did you come here to kill me or did you come here to fuck me?"
The film has a brilliantly grimy production design and the excess of violence achieves a unique balance between the hilarious and the grotesque.
Alas, the film is still a tease. Chingaso proclaims "It ain't over, clowns!" as the film prematurely closes. C'mon, will some Hollywood moneybags please invest in the stretching of this film to a much-needed feature-length?

Lashes to Die For: Does Lashes to Die For Work?
Lashes to Die For – Overview
Born of the desire to cure his own skin's ailments, Peter Thomas Roth, the Hungarian descendant of hotel spa owners, created his own skincare line in 1993. Roth took care to incorporate that family knowledge when developing his skincare products which are based on the healing and soothing qualities of the muds and minerals derived from Hungary's Thermal Springs. The Peter Thomas Roth skincare collection with its rejuvenating properties consists of over 100 products including moisturizers, cleansers, and treatments including Lashes to Die For Eyelash Conditioning Treatment that address anti-aging, Acne, dehydration, and sun protection. Roth's repertoire also includes products for hair and body care plus fragrances.
The PeterThomasRoth.com website in its high impact black color scheme, blue accents and white block-lettering exudes a strong presence without the pretense. The menu bar across the top introduces visitors to the company, its founder, the terms of service and its retail associations. The left side displays links to the company's various product categories while the right side captions the feature product displayed in the center. The product pages provide a treasure of details and a full ingredient list. Unfortunately, minor clinical research and no result photos nor testimonials were provided.
Lashes to Die For – Product Description
At $125 per tube, the liquid eyeliner-like product with a patent-pending complex assists in the enhanced length, thickness and volume of eyelashes while providing such nutrients as aloe vera, vitamins A, C, E, and B5. The additional ingredients appear to be a derivative of prostaglandin, which is used in glaucoma drugs and is known to stimulate eyelash growth but also to irritate the eyes and change its color. However, unlike many of its competitors Peter Thomas Roth boasts of a water-based formula in its Lashes to Die For which reduces irritation. The health and look of lashes are transformed in four to eight weeks of nightly use.
While many third-party virtual reviews expressed results on varying timelines, most agreed that Peter Thomas Roth's Lashes to Die For Eyelash Conditioning Treatment delivered long healthy lashes in less than a month's time. The price and the temporary results were the key factors that prevented a perfect score. Due to the growth cycle of hair, the amped up lash results only last with continued use regardless of the lash product employed.
Lashes to Die For – Advantage
- Lashes to Die For is derived from a water-based formula.
- Peter Thomas Roth's Lashes To Die For falls in the mid-price range of eyelash enhancement products.
- Peter Thomas Roth.com provides a full ingredient list for its Lashes to Die For product.
Lashes to Die For – Drawbacks
- Peter Thomas Roth.com provides very minimal research results.
- The website lists no testimonials or result photos.
- While cheaper than most, Lashes To Die For is still over $120 per tube.
- While a full ingredient list is provided, the website fails to honestly label its active ingredient and its link to controversial glaucoma drug side effects.
Lashes to Die For – The Bottom Line
Breaking from the brand standard of big bottles and reasonable prices, Peter Thomas Roth aims to compete with the big players within the cosmetic industry's subcategory of eyelash enhancement. At $125 per tube and a list of semi-ambiguous ingredients, Lashes To Die For lacks the product foundation that would allow it to stand apart from the growing list of eyelash enhancement products on the market. However, Roth's reputation in skincare is translating to its eyelash treatment as customer support is positive giving Lashes to Die For the added confidence boost Peter Thomas Roth's website does not.
Top 10 Eylash Enhancing Products
During our research, the skin care specialists we consulted provided useful tips that contribute to achieving and maintaining beautiful, healthy eyelashes, including the following:- Be certain to consistently apply the product(s) you choose in accordance with its directions for use;
- Pay special attention to removing any makeup that you have applied both mascara as well as eye shadow prior to bedtime;
- Eating a healthy diet that contains milk and fish can help strenghten eyelashes;
- Drink at least eight glasses of water a day to stay well hydrated;
- Avoid excessive intake of caffeinated and alcoholic beverages, as they may contribute to dehydration and exacerbate the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; and
- Be sure to get adequate rest every day

How social media should be discovered in today's complex world
Courts have upheld the need to not only consider, but in fact review and produce, data from social media sites. The issue is no longer if social media should be collected, but rather how it can be collected.
Technology: What employees say and do on social media can be used against them, right?
The NLRA provides that employee activity is legally protected when two or more employees act together to improve their terms and conditions of employment.
Believe your social media policy is air-tight? Think again
Experts say that no social media policy is foolproof because of third-party risks, but social media does not necessary need to be frightening.
IP: Trademark by analogy problematic for spendology
A recent Trademark Trial and Appeal Board ruling in PNC v. Ashe rejects the argument that social media presence constitutes trademark use.

In labor and employment law, the voices of law firms inject the kind of color, insight and expertise that provide inside counsel and other legal professionals with a cornerstone of true understanding.
Mitigating the media risks of public litigation
Efforts to rectify mistakes will seldom gain you the same level of exposure as the actual misdeed, which means a media strategy is essential to mitigating the effects of a very public court battle.
