Travelling Show | Released 2007 | Buy this album now
Dervish released their tenth album on 26 October 2007. Produced by the legendary John Reynolds and featuring a host of talented guest musicians, the album is called Travelling Show.
Ever imaginative, their latest album features new arrangements of rare and unusual traditional songs such as Lord Levett. Cathy Jordan refashioned this poignant lyric by writing a new melody and asking the superb Triona Ni Dhomhnaill to play harpsichord. Jordan also sings a spine-tingling rendition of Suzanne Vegas' The Queen and the Soldier. The results are enchanting. Newly composed material, Crucán na bPáiste by Brendan Graham and Grainne by Nashville song-writer Sharon Vaughan and Cathy Jordan, is tender and moving; while My Bride and I is a hauntingly enigmatic tale written by Canadian Dan Frechette, featuring Steve Wickam's skillful string arrangement.

Album Review
For those who like their traditional music fast and furious, Dervish prove their muster with their trademark high-energy instrumentals ably aided and abetted by Triona and the inspirational Rick Epping among others. In essence, Travelling Show is a beautifully crafted album; a multi-facetted amalgamation of influences, traditional and contemporary; showing Dervish at their best – a band constantly reinventing themselves and exploring new musical territory while keeping in touch with their traditional roots. Triumph over adversity: Travelling Show, the new album from Dervish. Dervis has risen phoenix-like from its Eurovision flambé with an album worthy of any folk music stage. The musicianship on TRAVELLING SHOW is as graceful as any of the more reflective moments of The Chieftains or Planxty. Dervish stay true to their roots, a very fine album"
The Irish Examiner
"How do you get over the embarrassment of the Eurovision adventure Dervish endured earlier this year? Release one of the best long players of your career, that's how."
The Irish Star
"Dervish's attention to tunes render them with an undeniable effervescence. "The Masters Return" captures the incendiary quality of the band's live performances, the driving percussive forces of bouzouki and guitar propelling fiddle and flute towards delirious infinity."
The Irish Times
"The 55-plus minutes of music that constitute the group's tenth album include some of the loveliest singing I've ever heard Cathy Jordan do. There's also a glorious selection of tightl y arranged instrumentals. Banish any lingering Eurovision memories, Sligo's finest are back on form."
The Evening Herald
"Travelling Show is moody, soulful and epic. Cathy Jordan is at the forefront and she shreds the rulebook and pulls the best vocal performances of her career."
Hot Press
"Dervish are at their best. Cathy Jordan has one of the most distinctive voices in Irish music."

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says President Barack Obama welcomes a "constructive approach" from congressional Republicans in a new budget offering but "has some concerns with it."
White House press secretary Jay Carney says Obama and House Speaker John Boehner spoke by phone Friday, after officials said House Republicans offered to pass legislation to avert a default and end the 11-day government shutdown. Their proposal to end the stalemate would include cuts in benefit programs and changes to Obama's health care law.
Carney told reporters Friday he won't get into details of Obama and Boehner's call. But he reiterated that Obama believes the debt ceiling should be lifted without ties to budget negotiations.
Carney said a short-term funding bill and debt limit increase are "the very least that Congress could do."

While there's a cornucopia of to-die-for indie designers popping up in Lala to constantly fill the corners of your eyes, we have a feeling the pair we're about to present will take center stage à la Jenni Kayne and Rodarte before their spring '13 season even finishes its deliveries! After slipping into Maxfowles' most divine cherry-red pantsuit (see slide two) at its Chateau Marmont debut awhile back — and consequently struggling with the fact that we had to eventually take it off — we knew the hubby-wife duo Max and Parisa Fowles-Padzro had sartorial klieg-lights quality.
This isn't your typical fledgling collection, either — every sophisticated seam, silhouette, and fabric will inevitably weave its way into the international It girl's gotta-have-it psyche. And, the creators know a thing or two about worldly-yet-edgy appeal; she's from Stockholm, and he hails from Londontown. They both have their hands in every haute pot of the design process (how's that for a modern relationship?), which we think is why there's that perfect charming balance to each piece. Take a peek for yourself in our exclusive warm-weather sneak peek, and see the beauts in person soon at Elyse Walker, stylehaüs, and Revolve Clothing. Now, we're just saying our Hail Mary's the designers stick around L.A., because these kinds of well-bred wares are ready to make themselves right at home!

By now my coworkers are used to––and probably annoyed by––my excitement when it comes to the daily deskside mailroom delivery. I anxiously open packages like it's Christmas morning and then, like a toddler, let out squeals of delight when I find something amazing inside. What can I say? I love cute stuff.
Imagine the joy I experienced when I unpacked these Hank & Jojo retro knee socks. The packaging alone is cool (Who doesn't love a mini 80's metal lunch box?), but the socks are irresistible. They're made of bamboo, so they're super soft and organic, and come in 4-packs sized for infants all the way up to big kids. And just in case you're wondering, boys can totally rock these socks, too. Pair them with shorts and sneakers and he'll be the coolest kid on the playground!

WASHINGTON - U.S. home prices jumped in January, a sign the housing market is gaining momentum as it nears the spring selling season.
WASHINGTON - U.S. home prices jumped in January, a sign the housing market is gaining momentum as it nears the spring selling season.
Home prices rose 9.7 percent in January from a year ago, according to data released Tuesday by CoreLogic. That's up from an 8.3 percent increase in December and the biggest annual gain since April 2006.
Prices rose in all states except Delaware and Illinois. And prices increased in 92 of the 100 largest metro areas, up from 87 in December.
Home prices also rose 0.7 percent in January from December. That's a solid increase given that sales usually slow over the winter months.
The CoreLogic numbers for the nation are lower than year-over-year price figures released last week by the California Association of Realtors. CAR said the median sales price in California for a single family home rose 24.1 percent in January compared with 12 months earlier. CAR put the price at $337,040. The January median was about 8 percent lower than in December, CAR said.
The year-over-year price in San Joaquin County was up 14 percent in January to $182,430 but down 1 percent from December, according to CAR figures.
Rising demand combined with fewer available homes is pushing up prices. Sales of previously owned homes ticked up in January after rising to their highest level in five years in 2012, according to the National Association of Realtors. At the same time, inventories of homes for sale fell to a 13-year low.
The states with the biggest price gains were Arizona, where prices rose 20.1 percent, followed by Nevada, with 17.4 percent, and Idaho, with 14.9 percent. California and Hawaii rose 14.1 percent and 14 percent, respectively.
The cities with the biggest gains were Phoenix, Los Angeles, Riverside, New York, and Atlanta.
Nationwide, home values were still down more than 26 percent from their peak in April 2006 through January, CoreLogic said. But in some states, prices have recovered a lot of lost ground. In 15 states, home prices are within 10 percent of their peak values, CoreLogic said.
There have been other recent signs that the housing market is going strong. A measure of the number of Americans who signed contracts to buy homes rose in January from December to the highest level in more than 21/2 years. That suggests sales of previously occupied homes will keep rising in the coming months.
Steady increases in prices help fuel the housing recovery. They encourage some homeowners to sell homes and entice some would-be buyers to purchase homes before prices rise further.
Higher prices can also make homeowners feel wealthier. That can encourage more consumer spending, which drives 70 percent of the U.S. economy.

A sex abuse scandal spanning nearly half a century has surfaced at an elite boarding school attended by thousands of residents of Westchester and the Hudson Valley during that time.
Choate Rosemary Hall, located in Wallingford, Conn., said that at least 12 former teachers had sexually molested students dating back to the 1960s, with at least one rape occurring.
Choate is the alma mater of the late President John F. Kennedy, as well as first daughter Ivanka Trump and actress Glenn Close of Bedford.
Choate hired former prosecutor Nancy Kestenbaum in October to launch an independent investigation into the allegations. It announced its findings on Thursday, while also issuing an apology in a statement.
"On behalf of Choate Rosemary Hall, we profoundly apologize," the statement said. "The conduct of these adults violated the foundation of our community: the sacred trust between students and the adults charged with their care.
"We honor and thank the survivors of sexual misconduct who came forward. We hope that through this report, our community can address the issue of adult sexual misconduct in a frank and direct manner.
"Throughout this self-examination, our goal has been to come together as a community to provide validation and support to those who suffered from abuse, to learn from the past, and to live up to the core standards outlined in Choate's Statement of Expectations."

Friday October 16, 2009
A former Bahamas senator has denied attempting to blackmail John Travolta over the death of his teenage son Jett.
Pleasant Bridgewater is accused of trying to negotiate a £15m payout for paramedic Tarino Lightbourne, who John claimed was intending to sell stories to the press suggesting the Hollywood star was at fault.
She told jurors she was framed by the actor's lawyers, and said: "I maintain my innocence."
A Bahamas detective this week testified that Ms Bridgewater destroyed an important document relating to the case.
Both the ex-senator and Mr Lightbourne have pleaded not guilty to extortion.

Carrying out a thorough review to better guide future efforts
Take stock of existing policies and international commitments that incorporate the Sustainable Development Goals, including indicators; identify gaps and draw up recommendations in preparation for the third National Sustainable Development Plan, due in 2018.
Strengthened governance for policy coherence
Through the National Sustainable Development Plan, identify policies likely to have an impact on the three dimensions of sustainable development. Good governance practices among ministries, between the State and municipalities, and between the State and the private sector.
Challenges and way forward for achieving sustainable development
Guarantee social inclusion and education for all
Tackle social exclusion, which is a political priority, through existing synergies and take action in the fields of social inclusion, integration, education and employment. Ensure that every resident can participate fully in society and engage in gainful employment.
Diversify the economy
Ensure the viability of the economic and social system through constant efforts to achieve economic diversification, focusing on the transition towards an inclusive and carbon-neutral economy based on the sustainable use of natural resources.
Guarantee sustainable mobility
Respond to the country's growing mobility needs, which stem from demographic growth and the number of cross-border commuters in the workforce, coupled with the fact that most individuals choose to travel by car. Ensure sustainable mobility, which would have a positive impact on the quality of life of users, economic competitiveness, social cohesion and the environment, in particular air quality and greenhouse gas emissions.
Plan and coordinate land use
Address demographic growth, which has a significant impact on the sustainability of urban systems, particularly in terms of the need for housing, mobility, basic services and technical infrastructure, but also in terms of the preservation and management of nature and the protection of natural resources and biodiversity, which are threatened by fragmentation, as in many other regions around European capitals.
Prevent environmental degradation
Prevent environmental degradation, which is linked to a number of factors, including the loss and deterioration of natural habitats.

That Alcantara is applied in the middle portion of the backrest and the seat, as well as inside the armrests.
Speaking of armrests, you can choose between custom-made Tiger Eye wood, Mapa or Walnut Burl veneer, or a high-gloss piano-black finish.
Both recliner and incliner versions of the Luxury Edition chair are available. Other standard options include dual motorized, independent control of the footrest and backrest; an articulating headrest; a motorized articulating headrest; integrated push-button control; and hand-cut foam cushioning with ergonomic lumbar support.

A fire broke out at a barn off of Route 6A and Tupper Road on Saturday night.
SANDWICH — The state fire marshal's office is investigating the cause of a blaze that damaged a barn off of Route 6A and Tupper Road on Saturday night, according to Sandwich Fire Captain Timothy McMahon.
The barn — part of the Roberti Farm — is located directly behind Stop & Shop. It caught fire just before 6:30 p.m., according to the fire department.
Multiple ladders, engines and firefighters were called in from surrounding towns to douse the flames, which were out shortly after 8 p.m.
Last night Lt. Richard Lizotte said some embers blew onto the Shop roof. He was unsure if the building was evacuated, but firefighters were on ladders checking for damage there.
There were no injuries reported.
"(The barn) has been known as a nonsecure place to both the police and fire department," Lizotte said, noting the graffiti on its walls. "They've chased people out in the past."
The cause is being investigated by the state fire marshal's office.
On Sept. 29, firefighters put out another fire about a half-mile away at 76 Tupper Road, a former antiques business. That building was destroyed, and the cause of the fire has yet to be determined.

Will evaluate the team during league final: Walsh
New Delhi, Jan 9 (IANS) India's newly-appointed chief hockey coach Terry Walsh Thursday hoped that the team will achieve the realistic targets set for the Hockey World League Final starting Friday at the Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium here.
India are in a tough group with Olympic champions Germany, World No.4 England and New Zealand. World champions Australia, Olympic runners-up the Netherlands, Argentina and Belgium make up the other group.
India start their campaign against England and Walsh said the team will be evaluated in avery aspect during the tournament. For Walsh, this will be the first assignment with the team.
"We will be evaluating the team on the improvement that they have shown in the League and how well the team handled the pressure during the tournament. We have put a training methodology in place which helps us evaluate the players psychologically keeping each one's individual performance as well as collective efforts as a team," the Australian said.
Walsh said the tournament will help him to evaluate how the boys have improved from the training sessions under him.
"This tournament will help us see if the boys will be applying the techniques that they have learnt over the training sessions with them," he said.
Walsh said the training sessions were of the top standards.
"We are trying to bring many of those things in our system especially the physiological part. I know this cannot be done overnight but the team has already started implementing it," he said.
Asked about the team selection, Walsh added: "I am happy with the selection committee's team line-up and training them is my responsibility."

VANCOUVER, BC – Vancouver Whitecaps FC announced today the launch of a new Whitecaps FC Saskatchewan Academy Centre – the first such centre outside of British Columbia within the club's Western Canada Major League Soccer (MLS) territory.
The new Academy Centre will be based out of Saskatoon and led by Bryce Chapman, head coach of the University of Saskatchewan Huskie men's soccer program. With the support of Vancouver staff, Chapman will serve as Whitecaps FC Saskatchewan Academy regional head coach.
"We're very pleased to launch this academy centre in Saskatchewan and are very appreciative of the support from the University of Saskatchewan and to have the expertise of a CIS men's head coach to lead this program," said Dan Lenarduzzi, Whitecaps FC director of soccer development. "The academy centre is excited to work along-side and support the Saskatchewan provincial and national team program. We have a huge amount of respect for what these organizations are doing and together, we will work to help grow the game in Saskatchewan and provide further opportunities and options for local players as part of our professional club system and network."
Chapman is entering his ninth year as head coach of the University of Saskatchewan Huskie men's soccer team. Having previously been named Canada West Coach of the Year, Chapman has also been the head coach of the Huskie United Soccer Academy (HUSA) for four years. Prior to this announcement, HUSA had partnered with Whitecaps FC to run a pilot Academy program in the winter which has included boys U-16 and U-18 teams. These teams will now become part of Whitecaps FC Saskatchewan Academy centre programs.
"I'm very excited to be joining Whitecaps FC and to help build the Saskatchewan Academy centre programs" stated Chapman. "Through this partnership with Whitecaps FC and the University, along with previously established local relationships, we look forward to serving the best interests of players and coaches as we continue to foster the development of soccer in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and Canada."
Whitecaps FC Academy Centres are a network of regional Whitecaps FC training hubs linked through key staff, curriculum, and standards that provide professional supplemental club training for serious, motivated players. Other current Academy Centres are located on Vancouver Island and in Vancouver, the Okanagan, and the Kootenays, with additional locations planned.
With this new Academy Centre, players in Saskatchewan will be provided with greater opportunities to be scouted into Whitecaps FC development programs. Already this year, Saskatchewan-based players Ty Werbicki and Tyler Redl were in Vancouver to train with Whitecaps FC Residency teams.
Whitecaps FC Saskatchewan Academy will operate through August with an abbreviated schedule of programs. The current U-15 and U-18 Prospects Academy teams will run through July and both will attend the Whitecaps FC College Showcase in March in Vancouver. Initially this spring, Whitecaps FC will also launch a U-10 and U-12 Prospects Academy program as well as a Skills Academy for boys and girls U-6 to U-14.
In addition to the Academy programs, Whitecaps FC Saskatchewan regional Camps will be available in the summer in a variety of locations.
Additional programming will begin in September 2013.

- "Until The Triads show you some respect, you're no son of mine! A daughter maybe...but not a son."
- ― Ma Cipriani
Big Rumble in Little China is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories given to protagonist Toni Cipriani by his mother from her restaurant in the Saint Mark's district of Portland Island, Liberty City.
Toni goes around to see his mother at her restaurant, but is once again verbally attacked. She accuses him of being scared of the Triads and claiming that he is no son of hers. Toni decides to prove her wrong by killing two groups of Triads.
The first group is in a bulletproof Triad Fish Van containing a unnamed Triad leader and one of Triad Members, which Toni rams with a vehicle while the Fish Van constantly drops boxes from the back in order to slow Toni down. Eventually, the Fish Van catches fire and explodes. Toni then kills the remaining Triads who had not been killed by the explosion, by either running them over or using a weapon. The second group is located at the Chinatown plaza, with Toni killing all the gang members there.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Show Ma you're not scared of the Triads. Deal with the two Triad gangs in Chinatown!
- A Triad gang leader's in that bulletproof fish van. Ram him off the road!
- They're getting out! Take down the Triad scum!
- One down, one more to go. Take out the other gang!
- You've been spotted! Waste all the Triad gang members!
- Triad Leader - Killed by Toni Cipriani to show Ma that he is not scared of them.
- Groups of Triad Members - Killed by Toni Cipriani to show Ma that he is not scared of them.
There is no monetary reward for completing the mission. However, the mission Grease Sucho is unlocked.
- The name of the mission is a take on the cult classic film Big Trouble in Little China.

This is the second instalment of a three-part series of posts on the media:
- Media & the Selective Outrage Machine
- The Culture War Is Not Really Taking Place
- The Big Hit:: CBC v. The Canadian Cancer Society
My last post was the media's role in creating a dramaturgical stage of manufactured outrage that's affecting how people behave within institutional contexts. This post is about media manufacturing a reality by presenting stylized facts and selectively using the "culture war" to do it. While partisan punditry becomes increasingly popular, I would argue that what's bound to evolve is a news positioning that's market-driven in more ways than one. The free market is reified and deified, but in a way that's meant to appeal to advertisers {subscribers and pageviews} and consumers {an economic orthodoxy based on neoliberal views or views positioned as such}. The market is both subject and object. A media culture war has already emerged along specific faultlines, with "code" used by the combatants to frame the rhetoric on both sides. And, it is a war. There's no room for civil discourse on the battlefield, but perhaps more aptly, there's no patience for it.
Given the recent News of the World scandal, journalists are getting scrutinized for their ethics, but aren't the nefarious and illegal tactics allegedly used by NoW the logical progression in an era of extreme coverage that's meant to evoke visceral reactions and tap into raw emotions? I would argue, in the vein of Jean Baudrillard's The Gulf War Did Not Take Place, that the institution of journalism helps to construct a configuration of society, often based upon, for example, lurid details, scandal, fail, and the polarities of the culture war. Currently, the drawn battle lines tend to cleave along political party affiliations::
- rural regions/suburbs v. cities
- social & cultural programmes v. market fundamentalism
- traditionalism v. progressivism
- fiscal conservatism v. "tax and spend"
- multiculturalism v. "anti-political correctness"
- Pro-immigration v. xenophobia
- Pro choice v. pro life
- Marriage is between "Adam & Eve" v. "Adam & Steve"
- Unions v. management
Canadians will be subject to another divide::
- Québec v. ROC (rest of Canada)
You get the picture. The idea is to exploit wedge issues by fostering controversy. But, the culture war isn't really taking place—we seeing is a media manufactured manifestation of it and what we know about the opposing position is a fiction created by media rhetoric that places the values of those who don't share our views as on a different planet. A few select juicy quotes here or a controversial soundbite there serve as empirical truth of what's going on. After all, how many people know that the post-Katrina violence in the Superdome & Convention Center were vastly overstated? I would hazard to guess that many who heard the initial stories of anarchy in the Big Easy in the wake of the storm still have the perception that the city decended into a Hobbesean state akin to the Lord of the Flies. Of course, how this is framed means that cultural logics can be cued without saying anything outright, which is part of the theatrics.
I would argue that this use of the culture war will evolve into a more complex mapping that transcends traditional party lines, in both the US and Canada. In this current era, journalism isn't rewarded for reporting on the issues, but for shaping and manufacturing them in an often desperate attempt to garner subscriptions and pageviews. Something may start as "grassroots" or may "go viral", but as soon as the media gets a hold of it, it morphs into a piece of an agenda. You can blame it on the 24/7 news cycle and the rise of infotainment that successfully monetized the "news", but it doesn't matter; the genie is out of the bottle. The culture war is perfect fodder to whip readers into a frenzy by presenting the extremes and those across the divide as a polar opposite, while constructing a reality that may not even exist. This works by tapping into our values and attitudes and framing stories to get maximum polarity. It's an economic imperative for the business model.
The above list of culture war wedge issues isn't a continuum in practice; it's binary. The opposing view is characterized as a polar opposite, often with inflammatory rhetoric. This is exacerbated by the fact that the public is less interested in news on a purely factual basis, particularly in the realm of politics and the economics, given the attention economy {the scarce commodity is our time}. We often seek information that's been pre-digested in a manner most palatable to us. The function of news media now is to present the extraordinary with an emphasis on the sensational. The "cultural products" of the news media are soundbites and sexy attention grabbing headlines, increasingly important as Internet headlines can persuade and "inform" without even being clicked on.
Up in Canada, while many media outlets will stoke the fires of the culture wars, merely invoking the term invites criticism. When pollster Frank Graves of EKOS used it last year to identify a strategy for the Liberals, all hell broke loose. After all, why would anyone want to bring the ugliness of US-style politics to Canada? Well, the truth of the matter is that the news media has much to gain from the culture war and the class war that's nested within it, but don't want to ever get caught promoting it. Graves' great crime was putting a possible strategy out there that could be used against the Conservatives that some construed as distasteful::
"I told them that they should invoke a culture war. Cosmopolitanism versus parochialism, secularism versus moralism, Obama versus Palin, tolerance versus racism and homophobia, democracy versus autocracy. If the cranky old men in Alberta don't like it, too bad. Go south and vote for Palin."
The "controversy" of Graves' statement was manufactured and used as evidence of his partisanship, but it's hardly shocking. Graves wasn't talking about anything new in terms of Canadian political marketing, he just dared to put it out there in such stark terms. He unmasked the great Oz and violated the social compact by showing how the persuasion sausage is made.
The US is more accustomed to journalists, pundits, and politicians invoking the culture war and I would argue that the heated rhetoric dividing the left and the right is a product of the media manufacturing realities so that groups become extreme caricatures. Underlying all of this right now is a general uneasiness of the future of the middle class and partisan rhetoric is shaping a class war by using the culture war.
Canada has a few journalists who are exemplars of what I see as the future of this trajectory. What might this future be? Look to journalistic statements in magazines like Maclean's magazine {a Canadian weekly} and by journalists like its national editor, Andrew Coyne and his ilk, e.g., Margaret Wente, are couched in false dichotomies with the volume turned to 11. The emphasis is on commentary, as opposed to hard news, but there's a sly twist. Journalists like Coyne and Wente position themselves as iconoclasts that defy partisan lines, but know how to sniff out controversy and milk it for all it's worth. They would scoff at this idea they're exploiting the culture war, which is also part of the shtick. In this era of social media and conversations, Coyne prefers to use all media at his disposal {Maclean's, Twitter, CBC-'At Issue' panelist on The National} like a megaphone aimed at the masses and that's too bad. What's lost is nuance and real dialogue. What this brand of journalism does is foster people shouting at each other, because, after all in a Charlie Sheen world, it's about the winning—and the drama. The name of the game is staying relevant and Coyne and Wente are making a play with their centrist, iconoclastic approach. It would be brilliant if it weren't so utterly sloppy in its execution, but I'll be blogging more about this in a future entry. The result is that it's hard to take either Coyne or Wente seriously.
My lament for what's lost with this journalistic divisive theatre is somewhat half-hearted because what else should we expect when the fourth estate is tied to business models and financial imperatives? George Monbiot, in his "A Hippocratic Oath for Journalists", makes some interesting observations in the wake of the NoW scandal::
"Journalism's primary purpose is to hold power to account. This purpose has been perfectly inverted. Columnists and bloggers are employed as the enforcers of corporate power, denouncing people who criticise its interests, bullying the powerless. The press barons allowed governments occasionally to promote the interests of the poor, but never to hamper the interests of the rich."
Monbiot's words may sound a bit strong, but given that journalism is a business trying to keep its head above water these days, it makes perfect sense that the institution will use whatever means to ensure its own survival. I agree that journalism's function these days is anything but holding power to account and would argue that most of the time it has functioned as chief architect in the fabrication of an elaborate cultural reality—a simulacrum embedded within media economics.
There is room for pushback. Big media are subject to the constraints of mass markets and by ultimately who pays the bills, i.e., the consumer and advertisers. Technology can enable a cost-effective end-run around the prefab strategies and canned approaches that are more about marketing than news. The target market being people wanting in-depth analysis, as opposed to dramaturgical showmanship. In essence, the long-tail of news. The Economist noted back in 2006 that hard-hitting journalism won't die and there will be a market for it, but I would argue that in order to serve the journalistic function of holding power to account, alternative models will need to offer substance over infotainment. Ironically, it may well be the mainstream media and its reality distortion machine to produce the future that serves to create a consciousness that rejects it. What could possibly break the bonds of the news-consumption cycle? Prolonged economic doldrums that sow the seeds for a bona-fide class war, not an imagined one.

's range iteration is significantly slower than RocksDB's range iteration, when values are also retrieved from SSD. We didn't expect this, and still don't quite understand it. We expected some slowdown due to the need to do IOPS on SSD, while RocksDB does purely serial reads. But, given the 100K IOPS

Amazon's i3.large disk optimized instance can do 100,000 4KB block random reads per second. Based on this, we should be able to iterate 100K key-value pairs per second, in other terms six million key-value pairs per minute.

's current implementation doesn't produce SSD random read requests even close to this limit, and the key-value iteration suffers as a result. There's a lot of room for optimization in this space.

is currently slower when it comes to running compactions compared to RocksDB. Due to this, for a dataset purely containing smaller values, it is slower to load data to Good for the Sole Womens Black Faux Leather Buckle Gone Wide Fit Loafers Kzhgr
. This needs more optimization.
Again in a dataset purely containing smaller values, the size of LSM tree would be significantly larger than RocksDB because
Aisun Womens Comfy Lace Up Round Toe Sneakers White udxkI
doesn't run compression on LSM tree. This should be easy to add on if needed, and would make a great first-time contributor project.
1 Recent improvements to SSDs might make B+-trees a viable option. Since WiscKey paper was written, SSDs have made huge gains in random write performance. A new interesting direction would be to combine the value log approach, and keep only keys and value pointers in the B+-tree. This would trade LSM tree read-sort-merge sequential write compactions with many random writes per key update and might achieve the same write throughput as LSM for a much simpler design.
We have built an efficient key-value store, which can compete in performance against top of the line key-value stores in market. It is currently rough around the edges, but provides a solid platform for any industrial application, be it data storage or building another database.
We will be replacing Dgraph's dependency on RocksDB soon with
; making our builds easier, faster, making Dgraph cross-platform and paving the way for embeddable Dgraph. The biggest win of using
a performant Go native key-value store.
The nice side-effects are
~4 times faster
and a potential 86% reduction in AWS bills,
due to less reliance on RAM and more reliance on ever faster and cheaper SSDs.

1. There is an exemption on ZDDP for 20W50 oils, most all I know of have 1200 PPM minimum, MA oils are about 1700 SN is about 400. 400 is not enough for a flat tappet cam. 1200 is enough for a cam, borderline for transmission gears.
So for a air, oil, hex or cam head, a good 20W50 will be fine. If you have any of the others a MA or SG oil is a good idea. Guess what, keep it simple, just use MA oils. For winter, Rotella Syn has a MA rating. Then when it warms, just change to 20W50. An Oil head will rattle when It is time to change.
Well, I'm on the road again. I'm in Stockton. I rode about 350 miles to get here.
Do you think I should check the oil?
I did an oil change a week or two ago, and put in I think 4 quarts. I think I counted 4 quarts. Or it may have been liters.
It was the official BMW stuff. I found some of the other stuff at the same price, so I figured ...
you've already taken us.

Taft College takes on Reedley College
Taft College finally gets a home game.
After playing 15 straight on the road, the Cougar women's basketball team will christen the Central Valley Conference season Wednesday by hosting Reedley College.
Tip-off in the Al Baldock Cougar Sports Center is at 5 p.m.
The Cougars took the holiday break off and returned to action last Friday in Sacramento by losing an 86-67 non-conference game to Cosumnes River College, one of the top teams in the Big 8 Conference with a 10-3 record.
Taft had not played since Dec. 15 and the three-week layoff showed.
The team was rusty and ran out of gas in the second half.
That is, everyone except freshman guard Erica Evans.
She led all scorers with 34 points despite missing a month of practice with a leg injury.
"This was Erica's first game back, and she did really well considering how long she sat out," said assistant coach Karaya Gage.
Evans was the team's leading scorer, averaging 18.5 points a game, when she went down with an injury in a tournament in Salinas.
In her return engagement she hit 10-of-19 field goals, including 6-of-11 from three-point range. She also made 8-of-9 free-throws.
Rust and fatigue were TC's primary enemies.
"Turnovers were our biggest issue with not a lot of pressure by CRC," she said. "It was also our first game back from break so I'm going to assume that we just haven't got our full game back on yet. Looking for a much better outcome on Wednesday."
The Cougars committed 24 turnovers.
They also got tired in the second half.
The halftime score was close: Cosumnes River 40, Taft 38.
But the Hawks ran away in the second half, outscoring the Cougars 46-29.
Zanoria Echols scored 8 points, Ramonique Redding 7 and Mylasia Smith 6.
It also marked the first game back for sophomore guard Schalon Baysinger, who suffered a leg injury shortly after Evans went down. Baysinger scored 4 points.
Crystallyn Faletoi led Cougar rebounders with 6, Shelly Gill had 5 and Bezait Anbesse and Smith 4 each.
The Cougars head into conference play with a 5-10 record.
Reedley will come to town with a 6-8 record.
Defending champ Fresno, ranked No. 1 in northern California and No. 4 in the state, is the easy favorite to repeat.
The Rams are 15-3 heading into conference play after beating Feather River College 95-41 and College of the Siskiyous 72-59 over the weekend.
In other weekend action involving Central Valley Conference teams, Porterville College lost to Siskiyous 92-41 and to Feather River 72-59 in conference crossover games. Foothill beat Merced 58-56.
Other CVC teams and their non-conference records: College of the Sequoias 8-6, Merced 8-8, West Hills-Lemoore 3-10, Porterville 3-11.

BBC America's latest import, the crime drama "Broadchurch," caused such a stir in Britain earlier this year that bookies were making odds on who the killer was. Its success even inspired Fox to plan an American version.
The eight-part series earns the hubbub. Despite some flaws, "Broadchurch" (9 p.m. Aug. 7, BBC America; 3 stars out of 4) is beautifully filmed, sharply directed and intensely acted.
The whodunnit opens with the discovery of 11-year-old Danny Latimer's body at the bottom of beachfront cliffs in Broadchurch. But creator Chris Chibnall, taking cues from "The Killing" and other Scandinavian dramas, focuses on the effects of murder on Danny's family and community.
And it's devastating. The grief is so palpable it can be difficult to watch at times.
Over the course of the investigation by detectives Alec Hardy (David Tennant) and Ellie Miller (Olivia Colman) and the subsequent media storm surrounding the case (the series blasts the British press in a timely subplot), the cozy seaside town where everyone knows each other is torn apart by the secrets revealed, the lies exposed and dark pasts uncovered.
The narrative creates suspicions about one character after another. But I doubt the trail of red herrings will frustrate many viewers because characters' stories are that compelling.
Danny's death threatens to tear apart the marriage of his grieving parents. Beth Latimer (Jodie Whittaker) can't focus on anything but his murder and her failure to protect him. Mark Latimer (Andrew Buchan) lies to his wife and the police, which lead them to suspect him.
Other suspects include Jack Marshall (David Bradley), an elderly single man who owns the newsstand where Danny worked as a paper delivery boy. Gruff loner Susan Wright (Pauline Quirke) manages a rental cabin not far from where Danny's body was found. Local vicar Paul Coates (Arthur Darvill) taught computer skills to Danny and other local boys.
The entire cast give tremendous performances, but Tennant and especially Colman really knock it out of the park.
Tennant sheds the charm he displayed as the Tenth Doctor in "Doctor Who" to create Hardy, a rude, unlikeable detective seeking redemption. Colman gives a fascinating portrayal of a wife, mother and very good cop who must toss aside friendships to investigate her neighbors.
Watching her character discover an inner strength she didn't know was there will help you overlook the show's strained and unsatisfying payoff.
Hey, I warned you the series wasn't perfect. But finding out who did it is less interesting than everything that happens along the way.

cynora GmbH is close to commercializing these materials. A growing company located in the high-tech incubator at the northern campus of the Institute of Technology in Karlsruhe (KIT), cynora specializes in the research and development of innovative copper-based functional organic semiconductor materials for OLEDs. Copper is an ideal material, as it is favorably priced and readily available. cynora believes this will allow OLEDs to be printed as foils just like newspapers, using inkjet or slot-die coating.
cynora's materials can be used to print light onto thin foils, labels or as part of smart packaging. The application of these materials is also possible in lasers, printed organic sensors or bio-labels in cell studies.
cynora is on the verge of entering the market this year, based on evaluation agreements with pilot customers. Since 2008, the company has been steadily working on increasing its position for market-entry by enhancing its IP portfolio, and the company's leaders report that cynora's most recent cyEmitters show impressive performance in preliminary tests.
"Now we are establishing an OLED device setup that will take advantage of this potential," said Dr. Tobias Grab, CEO of cynora. "Our optoelectronic solutions combining new material structures with the capability for solution-processing have attracted much interest, which is why we are confident that we are on the right way."
Dr. Grab noted that the most important markets for OLED technology are expected to be display and lighting.
"Since current process technology has limitations in terms of substrate sizes, we believe that solution-based processes are the best choice for large-area OLEDs, which enable new lighting forms," he said. "Consequently, cynora's proprietary technology for crosslinking of solution-processed layers in order to enhance the stability is an important step towards printed white light."
It is no surprise that there are challenges with developing functional materials; Dr. Grab noted that cynora has overcome some of these concerns.
"Early obstacles such as problems caused by interactions with water or air have been solved by careful analysis and material design," Dr. Grab said. "The processing of the materials, however, is currently a technical challenge. The multi-layer structure of the devices can change during operation, resulting in partial mixing of the layers and a reduced device performance. Avoiding this mixing is especially relevant for solution-processed devices, since it can also be caused by the wet deposition process itself.
"With this in mind, the goal of cynora is to provide concepts for OLEDs from solution," Dr. Grab added. "This involves a patented modular emitter system with controllable solubility of the materials as well as a stabilization of the layers in order to prevent mixing during production and device operation. Both aspects have been combined in cynora's innovative crosslinkable inks, which become insoluble after deposition, enabling us to produce stable multi-layer architectures from solution."
Dr. Grab said that the next step for cynora involves material testing by interested device manufacturers, and the company is working on partnerships with OLED manufacturers.
"Cooperations with panel producers are the most efficient way to improve or adapt the material portfolio or to expand existing materials," Dr. Grab said. "After successful implementation of our materials into processes with leading players in the OLED manufacturing industry, the next long-term opportunity will be the completion of licensing agreements for long-term commitments.
"Since the OLED market is still at a relatively early stage, the printed OLED market in particular, our aim is to open the market in 2013 and actively shape it in the following years," Dr. Grab concluded.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake
Smooth, creamy, decadent cheesecake studded with sweet morsels of cookie dough and bursts of mini chocolate chips? All atop a chocolatey, buttery crust? Garnished with sweetened whipped cream and more chocolate chips?
Oh baby, sign me up for a cookie dough cheesecake IV. Immediately.
Hands down one of the best cheesecakes I've ever tasted. And I've tasted a lot, trust you me.
P.S. While you figure out how to get this cheesecake into IV form (please, anyone, please??), take note that as we speak, I am officially in route on a two-day cross-country trek from Wisconsin to Montana. With my husband and four young, lively boys. Pray for my sanity. This apparent lack of wits and the fact that I'll be without internet for a few days will contribute to my delay in answering any comments or questions. I'll connect as soon as I have detoxed from the drive. Peace out.
One Year Ago: Cookie Dough Topped Brownies
Two Years Ago: The Best French Bread
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (I like to use chocolate Teddy Grahams but you could use any chocolate wafer cookie or even Oreos)
- 4 (8-ounce) blocks cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup sour cream (I used light and it worked just fine)
Cookie Dough:
- ½ cup butter, softened
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoon water or milk
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- An additional 1 cup mini chocolate chips to fold into the batter with the cookie dough balls
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks (add 1 tablespoon powdered sugar while whipping if you like a bit of extra sweetness)
- Mini chocolate chips, for sprinkling
- For the cookie dough: In a medium bowl, combine the butter and sugars for the cookie dough. Add the water (or milk), vanilla and blend. Mix in the flour, salt and the chocolate chips. The dough will be fairly soft. Gently roll the dough into small balls (about a teaspoon size, maybe a bit larger) and place them on a wax paper lined plate or baking sheet. Place them in the freezer to harden while making the rest of the cheesecake.
- For the crust: Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a 10-inch springform pan. In a medium bowl, combine the butter with the chocolate cookie crumbs (you could easily use a food processor to crush the cookies and incorporate the butter). Press onto the bottom and about halfway up the sides of the prepared pan.
- For the cheesecake: Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat the cream cheese, sugar, eggs and flour until smooth. Add the vanilla and sour cream and mix just until blended. Be careful not to overmix – incorporating too much air into the batter can contribute to a cheesecake cracking on top during baking.
- Pour half the batter into the prepared crust. Gently stir in the cookie dough balls and the additional 1 cup mini chocolate chips into the remaining batter. Pour into the pan, spreading the batter to the sides of the pan and evening it out across the top (it is ok to see bumps of cookie dough here and there, smooth it the best you can). Bake the cheesecake at 325 degrees for one hour. Turn off the oven and prop the door open several inches. Let the cake sit in the oven for an additional 30 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate until chilled (ideally, overnight). To serve, cut into slices and top with whipped cream and mini chocolate chips.
This cheesecake, like any good, baked cheesecake, tastes best after being refrigerated overnight.
