We love this recipe because its components are so versatile. The Tomato Cream Sauce or the Bolognese alone are worth trying to give any Italian dish a boost. Enjoy our Stuffed Shells Bolognese recipe!
12 ounces (1 box) jumbo pasta shells (approximately 36 shells)
3 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
1 1/2 Cup Spanish Onions, Diced 3/8"
3/4 Cup Carrots, Diced 3/8"
3/4 Cup Celery, diced using 3/8"
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 lb. Ground Beef
1/2 Cup Heavy Cream
1/2 Cup Tomatoes, diced 3/8"
1/3 Cup Fresh Spinach, chopped 1" pieces
1/3 Cup Asiago Cheese
3 Cups Tomato Cream Sauce, see recipe below
3 Tbsp Basil, finely chopped
1 1/2 Parsely, finely chopped
6 Tbsp Asiago Cheese
3 Tbsp Mozzarella Cheese
Tomato Cream Sauce:
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (14.5 ounce) can Italian-style diced tomatoes, undrained
1 Tbsp dried basil leaves
3/4 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 Tbsp butter
Partially cook the pasta shells in a large pot of boiling salted water until slightly tender but still quite firm to the bite, about 4 to 6 minutes. You will continue cooking the shells in the oven after they have been stuffed. Using a slotted spoon, drain pasta shells and place on oiled baking sheet, spreading them out so that they don't stick together and allow to cool.
Bolognese Filling:
In a large saute pan, heat vegetable oil and add the ground beef & sauté for approximately 5 minutes, as it begins to brown, add the carrots, onions, and celery, garlic and continue to cook for another 10 – 12 minutes until the meat is slightly caramelized and browned, broken into small pieces. Turn the heat off and drain the excess fat. Add the heavy cream and diced tomatoes and mix thoroughly. Fold in the fresh spinach and the Asiago cheese
Stuffing Procedures:
Using the cooked Jumbo Shells, place approximately 1 oz of filling inside of each shell, once the filling is inside the shell slightly compress the shell with your hand to distribute the filling evenly throughout the shell and place (open side up) into a 12″ x 9″ baking dish.
Tomato Cream Sauce:
In a saucepan, saute onion and garlic in olive oil over medium heat. Make sure it doesn't burn. Add tomatoes, basil, sugar, oregano, salt and pepper. Bring to boil and continue to boil 5 minutes or until most of the liquid evaporates. Remove from heat; stir in whipping cream and butter. Reduce heat and simmer 5 more minutes.
Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Pour tomato cream sauce, basil and parsely evenly over the front half of the shells and the remaining sauce into the center of the baking dish. Top evenly with the Asiago cheese and mozzarella. Bake in the lower third of your oven until the filling is heated through and the top is golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes.

Our heart is one of the major organs in our body that plays a very important role in our system thus; heart care must always be taken seriously. The heart functions to pump blood all throughout our body through our circulatory system. It supplies our tissues with proper amount of oxygen and nutrients needed to get rid of our body's wastes including carbon dioxide. This constant supply of nutrients is also needed by the tissues in order to be in active functions. If our heart fails to do this role, our organs and tissues will stop functioning and our body will shut down.
Common Heart Diseases and Symptoms
There are different kinds of heart diseases that a person could suffer from. Without proper heart care and attention to our heart's health, these diseases could easily affect us causing serious health problems and even death.
• Heart attack
This is very common to aging people, but these days, because of the kind of lifestyle and poor eating habits, even younger people suffer from this.
– Chest pains, discomfort, feeling of heaviness or pressure, pain in the arm
– Discomfort on the back area, throat, and jaw
– Feeling bloated, indigestion
– Sweating, dizziness, nausea and vomiting
– Shortness of breath and irregular or rapid heartbeat
– Weakness and anxiety
• Congenital Heart Disease
This is a type of heart disease that is acquired at birth, or inborn. Children who suffer from this usually have to go through surgery at a very young age.
– Cyanosis or the bluish marks on fingernails, lips, and skin area
– Poor appetite and panting
– Poor weight gain
– Lung infections
– Weakness and inability to perform physical activities
• Cardiomyopathy (Heart Muscle Disease)
A progressive heart condition wherein the size of the heart is enlarged, become stiff, or thickened abnormally resulting to a weak function in pumping the blood. This condition can cause heart failure and abnormal beating.
– Chest pressure and pains that typically occurs after a physical activity or after eating
– Swelling of some parts of the lower body
– Weakness or fatigue
– Palpitations
• Cardiomegaly (Enlarged Heart)
This is typically caused by underlying diseases such as coronary artery diseases or high blood pressure. The function of the heart to pump blood weakens that leads to heart failure. If not treated and maintained through proper heart care and medication, this condition can aggravate.
• Heart Murmurs
Some heart murmurs don't require treatment as it will not affect one's health. This type of murmurs is called the innocent murmurs which is an effect of the blood that flows through the valves that are healthy. However, when the blood flows through a broken or damaged valve, it could cause abnormal heart murmurs. If you are not sure about the type of murmur you are suffering from, it is important that you consult a heart doctor and have yourself examined.
Home Remedies for Effective Heart Care
Most heart medications are very expensive and contain chemicals-based drug that have negative side effects in our body. These home remedies listed below have been proven effective in heart care and with no serious side effects. If any of these will not completely help you with your heart condition, these could at least help you with your heart care regimen in order to keep your heart healthy and well-functioning.
1. Bilberry
This fruit is highly effective in treating different kinds of conditions in our body. These days bilberry can be bought commercially in capsule form. This berry may look similar to blue berry but this one is better in promoting proper blood circulation and helps your heart to function better. Aside from using this for heart care, this can also be used to treat skin problems, eye strain, menstrual cramps, and diarrhea.
2. Grapefruit
The juice of grapefruit is excellent for the heart. You can buy the grape fruit juice in supermarkets or you can prepare your own fresh juice by extracting several grapefruits. Consuming this helps you in weight management which also helps in making your heart healthier.
3. Fenugreek Seeds
This herb has been used during the time of ancient Egypt as a form of medicine. Fenugreek seed is pound until powdered form is produced. The powdered form can be mixed with drinks to help prevent heart ailments, lowering blood cholesterol, blood sugar levels, and helps cure digestive problems.
4. Cayenne
This popular spice that makes good tasting food is also excellent in maintaining a healthy heart. This chilly tasting spice has a substance called capsaicin which promotes the elasticity of the blood vessels. It helps in reducing the levels of bad cholesterol in the blood and minimizes formation of blood clot. Cayenne is an excellent spice for your cardiovascular system because it maintains healthy blood pressure level.
5. Garlic
This is considered to be one of the healthiest herbs because of its numerous health benefits. Not only it has anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, and anti-microbial effects, but it also helps your body combat other diseases like high blood cholesterol. By simply consuming at least one clove of garlic per day gives you a better blood circulation, excellent platelet count, and a healthier heart.
6. Ginger

7. Aloe Vera Gel
Cutting a strip of the aloe vera plant into half will give you a clear extract that has a gel-like texture which has amazing and numerous health benefits for your body. The medicinal value of this plant is very promising, from hair down to your toe, inside and out. Juicing aloe vera extract gives you a healthy drink that you can use to maintain proper heart care. It prevents heart diseases, diabetes, asthma, and arthritis to name a few.
8. Green Tea
Green tea is a powerful source of anti-oxidants which helps in cleaning our system and our blood. It promotes production of healthy cells that play a major role in forming the linings of the blood vessels in the heart. Regular consumption of green tea, like 3 – 4 cups a day (at most) also helps in reducing bad cholesterols on the blood. It prevents increasing blood pressure that could lead to heart ailments, stroke, and heart attacks.
9. Regular Exercise
Doing physical exercises on a regular basis that is just suited for your body is a good way for a healthy heart care. Discovering a good exercise routine together with a healthy balanced diet helps you manage your weight and avoid obesity. Children are also highly encouraged to do regular exercise especially in this age of modern technology and gadget where some children aren't exposed much to playtime and physical activities outside of your home. Remember that these days, heart ailments are also becoming common in children.
When our body is active, blood circulates properly throughout the body making the function of the heart healthier together with the other major organs of the body. Moreover, regular exercise burns excess fat which makes us healthier and feeling better.

I believed I am lucky enough to visit this historical site. We had a trip to Turkey last year and this is one of the sites we visited. Our sightseeing tour in Aphrodisias that time was truly worth it. As far as I can remember it took us and the whole group to explore this ancient ruins for around 3 hours including our visit to the museum.
The city plan of Aphrodisias located near the entrance. I was so happy visiting one of the historical ruins in Turkey.
Aphrodisias is located around 30 km west of Denizli, a place where we also had some overnights in a hotel. It is located near the modern village of Geyre in the
Southern Aegean region of Turkey.
The first formal excavations were said to be undertaken in 1904-5, by a French railroad engineer, Paul Augustin Gaudin.
Sculptures inside the Aphrodisias Museum. Entrance is free since it is already included in the entrance fee in going inside Aphrodisias. It is still not free isn't it?

Life and Death in Mexico, a Legal Journey
By Robin Loving Rowland
How many of us are totally secure in our understanding of our immigration status, insurance needs, real estate rights, taxes, how to hire/fire staff, contracts, estate planning, and all things medical, from medical directives to evacuation plans to final disposition of our earthly remains?

Cuevas's services include power of attorney, import/export licenses, intellectual property registration, conflict resolution/negotiation, translation, and non-compete and nondisclosure agreements. The presentation will be free.

Young British actor Ben Hardy has scored what's said to be a key role in Bryan Singer's upcoming "X-Men: Apocalypse" for 20th Century Fox.
What that role is right now is unknown, but it is said to be "significant to the X-Men universe". Speculation has already pointed to him as a potential young Colossus as, though average height at 5'10", Hardy is quite buff. Others have suggested a new take on Angel/Archangel.
Hardy's only other screen credit is his regular role as Peter Beale on long-running British soap "EastEnders" with his character departing the soap earlier this week.
Hardy joins a cast that includes James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, Sophie Turner, Tye Sheridan and Alexandra Shipp. Filming begins in April in Montreal ahead of a May 2016 release.

I recommended it. :)
My thoughts exactly theRealDeal =D Lady Gaga was my guess, but i thought the skin looked a lil too dark in the older pics - she looks perfect in these though... must've been the lighting or my eyes on the others, Lmao! XReplyDelete
Nah tis not your eyes- methinks it was lighting.ReplyDelete
I'm glad she's recognisable as the Gaga. I'm not completely happy with her- no perfect hair and her nose was really difficult to do in profile, but it worked out okey in the end ^.^

Hemlock by Kathleen Peacock
Mackenzie (Mac) has always had three best friends: Amy and Jason are a couple and the richest kids in town. Kyle rounds out the foursome, and while he and Mac are not a couple, they both have had thoughts in that direction. Then Amy is killed by a werewolf. Since her father is the state senator, he brings in a mercenary army to track and kill the werewolf- and find and trap any other werewolf-citizens.
In fact, before his daughter was killed, the senator was of the opinion that werewolves could live safely among us. Jason, however, is totally devastated and joins the mercenaries, getting the first level tattoo and spouting the "party line" all the way. Mac, despondent over her best friend, and fearful of the way Jason is acting, sets out to find the killer herself, finding many surprises in a town of many werewolves hiding now to save their lives. Amy keeps appearing to Mac to help her, first in her dreams, then while she is awake.
Is no one telling the truth in the entire town? With lots of plot twists and at least two sequels planned, we are in for more surprises.
Kissing, longing, some violence. 13 up.

After a week of racially-loaded controversy about Fashion Police hosts Giuliana Rancic and Kelly Osbourne, Kelly has left the show. Kelly says she quit. However, insiders say she was effectively fired.
The scandal started when Giuliana and an off-screen host said of Zendaya's dreadlocks at the Oscars, "She has just such a tiny frame that this hair, to me, overwhelms her. I feel like she smells like patchouli oil. Or weed! Yeah, maybe weed?"
Kelly went on a Twitter rant, writing "I WILL NOT BE DRAGGED INTO THIS! The situation is being rectified like ADULTS by both parties. I hope you can leave it to them & do the same!" Adding "you guys do realize that @Zendaya is my friend right?"
Kelly was being dragged into the negativity and insisted that unless the situation were made right she would walk off the show. "Im giving everyone involved 24 hours to make it right or the world will hear how I really feel. contactually Im not allowed to speak!" she tweeted during a rant. "I DID NOT MAKE THE WEED COMMENT. I DO NOT CONDONE RACISM SO AS A RESULT OF THIS IM SERIOUSLY QUESTIONING STAYING ON THE SHOW!"
Giuliana apologised (twice) and Zendaya forgave. Kelly reacted "It takes a strong woman to apologize & makes a forgiving woman even stronger! #ThisTooShallPass".
However, a few hours later, TMZ reported that Kelly was no longer part of the show. The network confirmed with a statement: "Kelly Osbourne is departing E!'s Fashion Police to pursue other opportunities, and we would like to thank her for her many contributions to the series over the past five years, during which time the show became a hit with viewers. Fashion Police will return, as scheduled, on Friday, March 30th at 9:00 p.m. and no decisions have been made on her replacement."
However, hours later, insiders admitted that producers were furious at Kelly's ultimatum and ranting and told her to "jump or be pushed". "We are told she was given the option to quit or be fired," revealed a source. "In reality, she was let go. Producers had had enough."

Trevor Hoffman became baseball's highest-paid reliever yesterday when he agreed to a four-year contract extension for $32 million with the San Diego Padres.
The Padres' general manager, Kevin Towers, would not confirm or deny the deal, but a source familiar with the deal, speaking on the condition he not be identified, said San Diego would announce it today.
The deal would give the Padres the two relievers with the highest average annual salaries in baseball. The other, Randy Myers, is owed $6 million this year in the middle year of a three-year deal he signed in November 1997, when he was with Toronto.
Hoffman's extension runs through 2003 and includes an option for 2004, which, if the club exercises it, would make the deal worth $40 million over five years. The Padres may instead buy out the option year for $2 million. For the first time, the team granted a no-trade clause.
The 31-year-old Hoffman, the premier closer last year with 53 saves in 54 chances, gets an average salary of $8 million a year. He will be paid $4.1 million in 1999, the final year of an $8.4 million extension he signed in August 1996.Continue reading the main story
The largest previous deal in Padre history was the $15.5 million contract over three years given to Sterling Hitchcock on Jan. 27.
Hoffman's save average last year, .981, was the best in major league history, and his 53 saves tied the National League record. His only blown save came on July 26, when he allowed Moises Alou's first-pitch homer in the ninth. (AP)
Astros 2, Cardinals 1
Mark McGwire, who homered in each of St. Louis's first four games of the regular season last year, hit his second homer in three at-bats this spring during the Cardinals' loss to Houston yesterday in Jupiter, Fla. (AP)
Pirates 3, Reds 2
Pete Harnisch, expected to be Cincinnati's opening day starter, pitched four more shutout innings yesterday as the Reds lost to Pittsburgh in Sarasota, Fla.
Harnisch allowed just one hit and has given up only two hits in eight shutout innings this spring. He has struck out eight and walked none. (AP)
Braves 9, Tigers 7
Gabe Alvarez made five of Detroit's seven errors as the Tigers lost to Atlanta in Lakeland, Fla.
''I should have had every one of those balls,'' Alvarez said. ''They were all routine plays.''
Alvarez, who had 19 errors in 55 games at third last season, made four throwing errors. First baseman Frank Catalanotto and pitcher Jeff Weaver made one error each as Detroit allowed five unearned runs.
''We'll run Gabe out there again,'' Manager Larry Parrish said. ''Not tomorrow. But we've got to get him over it. He kind of had that 'Oh, God, don't hit the ball to me' look. We've all had that at one time.'' (AP)
Orioles 10, Dodgers 0
Trenidad Hubbard and Hiram Bocachica were injured during an outfield collision as Jerry Hairston Jr. circled the bases for an inside-the-park homer yesterday, and Baltimore beat Los Angeles in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Hubbard hurt his right thumb and wrist. Bocachica injured his right rib cage. Hubbard, playing center, dived for Hairston's sinking liner while Bocachica was poised to make the catch in left. Both players lay for several minutes, long after Hairston completed his three-run homer. (AP)
Pitch Sidelines Womack
Tony Womack of the Arizona Diamondbacks, who has led the National League in stolen bases the last two years, will be sidelined for six weeks after he was hit by a pitch Sunday.
Womack, an outfielder acquired over the winter in a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates, broke his right forearm when he was hit by a pitch from Jim Parque of the Chicago White Sox. He will probably miss at least the first two weeks of the regular season. (Bloomberg News)Continue reading the main story

If so how would you go about unlocking since it was not purchased from a network.
Being googling for last hour but my heads now bursting with varying information.

3 Budget-Friendly Tips from My Cheap Reboot
Sticker shock is relatively common when it comes to Rebooting. When you're armed with a shopping list of fruits and veggies, buying groceries all at once for a 5-Day Reboot can add up. But Rebooting doesn't have to empty your wallet.
I used my recent 5-Day Reboot as a test case to see just how little I could spend. Keep in mind this is New York City, a city known for its high cost-of-living. The first step was determining what I spend on food for 5 days normally, so I'd be comparing apples to apples.
I already consume a plant-based diet, so I figured my weekly food costs were pretty low to begin with, but I had not recently actually done the math. I normally pick up breakfast on the way to work: a container of steel-cut oats for $3. Then I add my own fresh fruit and almonds. I make big dinners so I can take leftovers to work for lunch, spending about $20 on vegetables and another $10 on fruit for the workweek. Adding in canned beans, lentils, quinoa, nuts and a little tofu brings me to a total of $62, or $12.40 per day, and that's without eating out, or grabbing a snack or a cup of tea here and there.
The total spend for my 5-day Reboot: $58, or $11.60 per day. Outside of New York City, I'm sure my costs could have been $15 or $20 less. Here's how I kept my Reboot grocery bill as low as possible.
- Go for cheaper substitutions.
Jicama is on the 5-Day Reboot shopping list in the Reboot with Joe Juice Diet book, but jicama is hard to find and pricey. Using the substitution list in the book, I went with much-cheaper celery instead. And several recipes called for handfuls of any greens. I bought whatever greens were on sale. I was able to find huge bunches of kale at 2 for $5. They were so large that I only needed 3 bunches for the week, instead of the 5 bunches on the shopping list.
- Don't buy everything in one place.
I bought what I could at Trader Joe's. For example, they usually have a great deal on some kind of apples, typically a 3-pound bag for $2. Same for oranges. But I found the best deals on in-season greens and veggies at the farmer's market. That's where I found my great deal on kale and Swiss chard. I also found inexpensive peaches and cucumbers.
- Buy organic selectively.
In a perfect word, sure I'd buy all my produce organic. But the sad reality is that organic items still cost significantly more. So I tried to buy the Environmental Working Group's "Dirty Dozen" organic, including kale, apples, celery, and peaches. Everything else I bought conventional.
There are more strategies I didn't try that might have lowered my costs even further. I could have tried visiting farmer's markets late in the day to snap up leftover produce at a discount.
Bulk stores like Costco or Sam's Club could have saved me some money, but neither was available to me.
I'd love to hear your tips on saving money on grocery bill, especially from those in other parts of the country! As Joe says, "Juice On!"

(Disclaimer: the blogs posted here only represent the author's respective, OneOps project does not guarantee the support or warranty of any code, tutorial, documentation discussed here)
In my last posting, I introduced the Governor based Postgres on OneOps, which is an automated approach of deploying Postgres with High Availability (HA). Since then, I started a new round of development on the Governor Postgres cookbook, Etcd cookbook and HAProxy cookbook to take the benefits of the multi-layer clouds from OneOps, so that the Postgres pack on OneOps is one big step towards production readiness!
From last Postgres HA blog, the scenario we demonstrated was – all Postgres instances were in the same cloud or data center, so the limitation is: what if the entire cloud or data center is down?
In this blog, I will introduce a seamless HA failover solution across multi-layer clouds or data centers to guarantee the availability of Postgres, even after a sudden failure of an entire data center.
OneOps offers a concept of multi-layer clouds, technically speaking, the "primary" cloud and "secondary" cloud. If an application pack could be deployed over both primary and secondary clouds, the application instances in the secondary clouds (secondary instances) typically serve as the backup of the instances in primary clouds (primary instances). Here is one more difference from network's point of view:
Primary Cloud: Global Load Balancer (global vip) forwards all the traffic to primary clouds.
Secondary Cloud: All secondary clouds are disabled and does not receive traffic from Global Load Balancer.
Moreover, if the application is stateless, e.g. REST application, it is not required to have the secondary instances to replicate the states or data from primary instances, which is the simplest case for OneOps pack developer.
Otherwise the secondary instances are supposed to replicate states or data from the primary instances, so that when the system admins flip the primary and secondary clouds (because of primary clouds are down), the secondary instances could immediately start to receive traffic with the consistent states or data. In our case, Postgres belongs to this case and the following is the architectural picture:
From above picture, when a client wants to connect to Postgres, its connection URL should be the FQDN of Global Load Balancer (GLB). Then the request is forwarded to HAproxy which helps to look up the Postgres master in primary cloud. Then the client could directly talk to the master forward, without having to go through the GLB and HAProxy (until the master failover happens).
In terms of data replication, Governor-based Postgres uses Stream Replication and all Postgres slaves directly and independently replicate data from the master. However when the master fails, only the slaves in primary clouds could be elected as new master, while the slaves in secondary clouds have no chance for the master election. The reason is: only the IP addresses from the primary cloud will be covered under OneOps GLB and the clients should always use GLB for connecting Postgres master. If a slave Postgres instance from secondary cloud is elected to the new master, the user will not be able to connect to it.
After all Postgres instances in primary clouds fail at one shot (e.g. power outage) or by sequence, the primary and secondary clouds need to be flipped so that Postgres service will keep available.
In most cases, the primary and secondary clouds are mapped to different geographical data centers so that the outage of one data center will not bring down both primary and secondary clouds. The flip between primary and secondary clouds is triggered on OneOps UI, possibly by system admin or on-call engineers.
Now let's quickly go through the deployment process and then see how the seamless failover solution will work.
Deploy Governor-based PostgreSQL on OneOps
Similar as the steps in the last blog, we create a Governor-based Postgres platform, add our SSH key into the user component. The difference comes from: when creating the environment, we need to at least one cloud as primary cloud, and at least one cloud as secondary cloud, which means at least two clouds should be created on OneOps beforehand. In this demo, I will use 1 cloud as primary and 1 cloud as secondary. (Again, "Availability Mode" should be set to "Redundant")
After creating the environment (before "Commit & Deploy"), we could click the Postgres platform name to review and change the "scaling" factor. In this demo, we use 3 compute per cloud, totally 6 compute for two clouds (primary and secondary). In practice, I personally recommend to use at least 3 compute for primary cloud (as well as secondary cloud), because Etcd runs best with minimum of 3 nodes, and more than 5 nodes may be a waste of having so many Postgres slaves.
The deployment plan may resemble as following: (it is a long plan with total of 15 steps, which will happen on both primary and secondary clouds. Deployment on primary cloud will go first):
After the deployment is done and finishing the Post Deployment section mentioned in PostgreSQL-Governor pack main page, from a Postgres client machine we could start to use FQDN to connect to the Postgres master.
/usr/pgsql-9.4/bin/psql --host your_fqdn_here --port 5000 -U postgres postgres
psql (9.4.8)
Type "help" for help.
Please note that the port number to connect is 5000, rather than 5432. In case you do not like 5000, it could be changed in HAProxy component in the Design phase and the port number could be something else (but not 5432).
Test Postgres Master Failover
First let create a table, called "company", and insert a record into it.
INSERT INTO COMPANY (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY,JOIN_DATE) VALUES (1, 'Paul', 32, 'California', 20000.00 ,'2001-07-13');
Now let use the method mentioned in the last blog to identify the current Postgres master, SSH into the master VM and run "service governor stop" to kill the current master. Later, I will talk about how to put the failed ex-master back online.
After 30 – 60 seconds (depending the value of Etcd TTL), the new Postgres master should be elected from the remaining compute from primary cloud. Now let's re-connect the Postgres from the client and run the following select query:
postgres=# select * from company;
id | name | age | address | salary | join_date
1 | Paul | 32 | California | 20000 | 2001-07-13
(1 row)
Next insert another record:
INSERT INTO COMPANY (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,JOIN_DATE) VALUES (2, 'Allen', 25, 'Texas', '2007-12-13');
Query the table again:
postgres=# select * from company;
id | name | age | address | salary | join_date
1 | Paul | 32 | California | 20000 | 2001-07-13
2 | Allen | 25 | Texas | | 2007-12-13
(2 rows)
From above we could see the new master is available to receive both read and write requests.
Now let's shut down the current master by "service governor stop" to simulate another VM down.
Again after a short period of time, the last slave from primary cloud should be promoted to the new Postgres master and we could repeat the similar read and write queries to verify that the new master is working normally or not.
After shutting down the last Postgres instance (master) from primary cloud, no new master will be elected, because the Postgres instances in secondary cloud are not allowed to participate into the election. At this point, we need to flip the primary and secondary cloud and here are the sequences:
(1) Change the primary cloud to secondary cloud, and we will temporarily see two secondary clouds.
Go to "Transition" phase, click the environment and then Postgres platform name (on the right), find "Cloud Status" section (at the bottom), identify the primary cloud and choose "Make Secondary".
Then "Commit & Deploy" (only 4 steps).
(2) Change the secondary cloud (not the one just got flipped) to primary cloud, so we again have one primary and one secondary cloud.
Identify the (right) secondary cloud and choose "Make Primary".
Then "Commit & Deploy" (now 7 steps).
After the deployment completes, we try to re-connect the Postgres from client via FQDN:
/usr/pgsql-9.4/bin/psql --host your_fqdn_here --port 5432 -U postgres postgres
psql (9.4.8)
Type "help" for help.
And try some query:
postgres=# select * from company;
id | name | age | address | salary | join_date
1 | Paul | 32 | California | 20000 | 2001-07-13
2 | Allen | 25 | Texas | | 2007-12-13
(2 rows)
Run an insert command:
INSERT INTO COMPANY (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY,JOIN_DATE) VALUES (3, 'Teddy', 23, 'Norway', 20000.00, DEFAULT )
Query the table one more time:
postgres=# select * from company;
id | name | age | address | salary | join_date
1 | Paul | 32 | California | 20000 | 2001-07-13
2 | Allen | 25 | Texas | | 2007-12-13
3 | Teddy | 23 | Norway | 20000 |
(3 rows)
As seen from above, the old 2 records were not lost and the new record could be added to the existing table.
At this point, we have used simple queries to verify that the Postgres OneOps pack could support seamless master failover within a cloud and even across the clouds. Next question is: how to bring the failed Postgres instances back online?
This question is a little bit out of the discussion in this blog. For more details on this, there should be some materials to refer or the DBA may already know what to do based on the previous experiences of setting up Postgres HA. The one-sentence reminder is: do not simply reboot the failed master without properly handling the recovery tasks.
In this blog we just go ahead and delete the Postgres data directory and restart Postgre Governor process by "service governor start" to let the ex-master Postgres to re-sync all data from the current master.
rm /db/* systemctl daemon-reload service governor start
Now the ex-master should be a slave now. ("tail -f /var/log/message")

Governor Running: no action. i am a secondary and i am following a leader
Upto this point, we have seen a full cycle of Postgres master failover and recovery.
The Governor-based Postgres OneOps pack made several "number 1" in the OneOps application ecosystem.
- the first pack that nicely supports deployment over both primary and secondary clouds.
- the first pack that seamlessly provides a HA failover solution between primary and secondary instances with an integrated user experience and data/state consistency.
- the first pack that stitches with many other existing packs (Etcd, Haproxy) together to make a complex but transparent HA system, without "re-invent the wheel".
There will be ongoing improvements, such as, we may provide a knob for users to choose from synchronous and asynchronous replication. (currently it is only asynchronous)

(please excuse the random colours of the words - it's stuffing up on my end for some reason!)
Just a brief post before I delve into the goodness that is 'The Happiness Project" (by Gretchen Rubin)
I really don't have much in the way of photos and that's really what people want to see on here right (or else some amazing writing skills - of which I do not have!)
SO here is A photo! I had some pastry that I'd frozen (yes, you can freeze pastry apparently!) that I had thawed to use as a base for my chicken pie. After defrosting it in the microwave and then sniffing/poking/tasting it decided that yes, it was just short pastry, not specifically sweet pastry, I rolled it out to use. I found that it was too little to be a chicken pie base so I thought I'd better use it for something since I probably shouldn't RE-freeze it so I made these little lemon meringue pies in ramekins. One each for me and hubster. YUM!
Needless to say, we are now doing pilates at night ;-)
Right off to devour 'The Happiness Project'. I'm about a third of the way through and LOVING it! Unfortunately, hubby started reading it before me (I had it on back-order at the library) and now I only have until Monday (I can't renew it because someone else has a hold on it after me!) to finish it so I'm trying to squeeze in reading whenever I can. Except for now. Which I should be doing. But anyway, you should read it, it's great (so far anyway!)

University policies related to gender-based discrimination and sexual harassment and sexual violence may be found on the university website at the links below.
When resolving a complaint of discrimination or harassment, the university seeks a compassionate, fair, and equitable process. Members of the UO community are encouraged to contact the Office of Investigations and Civil Rights Compliance for more information regarding each policy and its corresponding procedures.
Student Sexual and Gender-Based Harassment and Violence Complaint and Response Policy
A new policy to improve the university's response to gender-based discrimination, sexual harassment, and sexual violence experienced by students went into effect September 15, 2017.
The new policy ensures clarity and transparency as well as compliance with Title IX. It clearly identifies employees by their reporting responsibilities:
Establishing a named group of Designated Reporters allows students to make informed choices about whether to disclose information to employees who are required to report any and all disclosures of prohibited discrimination or harassment to the university.
Identifying Confidential Employees with precision allows students to know who is able to keep disclosures confidential.
Designating all other employees as Student-directed Employees, with specific response obligations that include providing support and resources, maximizes students' access to supportive university personnel and affords students another avenue by which they can initiate a report to the Title IX coordinator if they so choose.
Please Note: The previous policy still remains effective after September 15, 2017, as to all other forms of prohibited discrimination and harassment based on any other protected status. It still designates all university employees, except confidential or otherwise exempted, as responsible employees. A responsible employee must still report all information related to instances of non gender or sex-based discrimination and harassment.
Discrimination Complaint and Response (V.11.02)
This policy outlines the university's discrimination statement, response to discrimination complaints and responsible employee obligations.
Conflicts of Interest and Abuses of Power: Sexual or Romantic Relationships with Student
This policy addresses sexual or romantic relationships between a faculty member and student or between a staff member and student in order to foster a learning environment characterized by professional behavior and fair and impartial treatment.
Protection of Minors
This policy intends to outline responsibilities related to the protection of minors at the university. Employees are mandatory reporters of child abuse and neglect by law.
General Statement on Protecting Privacy
The Office of the Title IX Coordinator makes every effort to protect the privacy of individuals who participate in the investigation and resolution process by limiting the number of individuals who need access to information gathered throughout the complaint resolution process. For more information please see the Title IX Coordinator's notice of privacy practices.
University Discrimination Complaint and Response Policy
The university policy, which applies to all faculty, staff, students, and guests, outlines the university's discrimination statement and defines prohibited discrimination, discriminatory harassment, and sexual harassment.
Student Conduct Code
The Student Conduct Code defines, among other terms, harassment and sexual misconduct for purposes of allegations concerning student misconduct.
Office for Civil Rights
The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) ensures equal access to education by enforcing civil rights, including Title IX. The following links provide information on areas of prohibited discrimination based on sex:

Almost blown away!
WHAT'S HAPPENING - Things are finally settling down after last weekends little wind storm. There are branches down all over the place, but no real damage. Our power never went out, just kept flickering all day. A lot of places in NY lost power. I heard (through the grape vine) that a tree fell against my sister's house, took some siding off and wiped out the elec. and phone, everyone's OK. Did anybody else get a big wind storm?
Glen and I got a new desktop computer!!! LOVE it! We bought it with Tax return money (thank you IRS). It has a widescreen/flatscreen monitor, windows 7 (which so far I love), it is sooooo quiet and so much faster I can't hardly believe it! When I downloaded my camera software I seriously couldn't hear it running! I will take some pictures and post them next week.
Amazing Race is over - My "cowboys" came in 2nd, the "brothers" won.
American Idol - After tonight it will be down to the final 3! Sorry, but I was glad to see Aaron go home last week. Just wasn't good enough.
Survivor - HA! I loved it!!! Finally a show I loved! Russell I sure hope you are history soon. Parvati, even thought I do not like you, I do have respect for you. Candace - you totally got what you deserved! And, i just plain never did like Danielle.
Dancing w/ the Stars - Niecy Nash goes home, she should go home, she was the worst dancer of who was left, but I will miss her. She was cute, funny and had such a good heart. So - will Nicole win? what do you think? She is my fav. but it is not a given.
KNITTING - I finished the little socks I was making! I love them!
BOOKS - Read 2 fantastic books!
"Claire Knows Best" by Tracey Bateman. The second in the Claire Everett series. I gotta tell you, I am loving this series! If all her books are like this I am a fan! This is a Christian Chick-Lit book. It is funny and heartwarming. It seems like Tracey is writing about me. Claire will say something and I will think "I would have said that exact same thing!" So its kinda like reading about myself.
"Where the Heart Leads" by Kim Vogel Sawyer, The sequel to "Waiting for Summer's Return". I love this Author too. I feel so lucky to get to read so many great books! This was a Christian Historical Fiction. This kept switching back and forth so much I had no idea how it was going to end, it was great! I was pleasantly surprised. It took place in both Kansas and Boston.
Here is a map of the "12 countries in 12 months" books I have read so far. I am traveling around the world!
"A Sea of book" giveaways - "The Ninth Judgment" by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro
- "The War Lovers" by Evan Thomas.
- "Deliver us from Evil" by David Baldacci
- "Men and Dogs" by Katie Crouch (YAY!!)
Dar at "Peeking between the pages" is giving away "On Folly Beach" by Karen White
and "The Girl's from Ames" by Jeffrey Zaslow

Shoe Clips
Take any pair of heels or ballet flats and add a shoe clip to get an instantly hip (and expensive looking) style. You could buy one set of clips and wear them with multiple pairs of shoes. The Shoeworthy website has some beauties and most are only $25 a pair. My favorites are the Flora Red, Goldilocks Element, Rhinestone Blossom and Black Pearl Bow. Also, check out Absolutely Audrey. If you get sick of wearing it on your shoes you could clip onto a coat lapel instead.
Shortening Jeans or a Skirt
If you are like me, you probably have two categories of denim in your closet - the pairs you keep a few inches longer to wear with heels and those you shorten to wear with flats. I recommend that when you get bored of your high heel denim, have them shortened to wear with flats. I recently did this with a few pairs and it instantly felt like I had a brand new wardrobe. Most tailors in my area charge $10 to shorten jeans which is a steal compared to buying a whole new pair! You could do the same with a skirt by taking a longer knee-length pencil skirt and have it shortened into a mini that would look great with tights.
Take an older jacket or sweater and replace the buttons with newer styles. You will be surprised to see what a difference buttons make. For instance, take an old pea coat with solid buttons and replace with gold ones for a military inspired look. If the thought of sewing makes you uneasy, bring to a tailor for a cheap fix (NYC tailors charge $2/button). Craft stores like JoAnn Fabrics and Michaels have a wide variety. Also, check out my favorite - Etsy and search for buttons, or if you live in NYC go to Tender Buttons.
Accessories are an easy way to update any old outfit. There are so many places you can buy cheap jewelry, belts and scarves. For jewelry look to H&M, Forever 21, Francesca's Collections, Soho Accessories, J.Crew Outlets, or my personal favorite - the NYC street vendor selling $5 earrings.
Forever 21 Pearl Collar - $15.90
If you are looking for a new belt to spice up a dress or top, look to NY&Co., Charlotte Russe, Forever 21, and Nordstrom BP (in stores they have lots of belts).
NY&Co. Wide Croc Stretch Belt - $13.96
For scarves I recommend Target, Urban Outfitters, Old Navy, Nordstrom BP, and Alloy.
Old Navy Floral Print Scarf - $12.50

We Will Do The Worrying
BIG NEWS! I'm so excited to finally share!!
So, about this time last year, I recorded 2 vocal parts on 10 tracks for Leah Paul's new, soon-to-be-released album, "We Will Do The Worrying", which features the Koan Quartet, Chris Speed, Nick Mancini, and myself.
Leah is a wonderful composer and flutist who, somewhere down in way back land, heard me sing and thought to ask me to do the huge honor of tackling these gorgeous and dreamy songs.
Here is a preview track of "This One's Coming True".
This is also a big announcement that the album will be released on November 20th with a ceremoniously big show at the Bootleg Theater, featuring those named above and many other amazing musicians.
The music is ten pieces for string quartet, flutes, vocals, vibraphone and clarinet. Pre-orders will be available soon! Mark your calendars and until then, please enjoy this track!

Some desktop shortcuts disappeared!
Ok, that's not funny...
I played some UT3, made some screenshots w/ Fraps to the desktop, downloaded a vid to the desktop, and when i was finished, there where some empty spots in my icon rows on the desktop. I thought that something shuffled the icons around, but then discovered that about 4-6 shortcuts where missing. There where simply gone, i did a search for them.
After some investigation (including examining my desktop backup) i found that all the missing shortcuts have a broken link (the destination doesn't exist at the moment).
So, what is this strange behavior? Shortcuts that no longer work are deleted automatically without warning the user??? Anyone had this problem too?
I'm a little worried...
PS: The shortcuts where created in WinXP prior installing Win7. Could this be the problem and why?

I too have this problem. For instance, I have a phone with an SD card. Link is not good when I don't have the phone docked. Similar with my thumb drive. I really hate that it keeps deleting icons.
One that really bothers me is that I have a set of icons to connect to other computers on my local network. It includes one to "this" computer. That one went away overnight last night. Strange!
Does anyone know of a fix for this?

im suffering from this as well. although it doesn't happen all the time, it's still annoying. i have shortcuts to both my external hard drives and a flash drive that aren't always connected. they dissapear sometimes.
but i have two more shortcuts that disapear along with the others ones. i can't explain/know why, they are shortcuts to 'Bluetooth Devices' and 'Desktop Gadgets' both which are in the control panel.

This is an extremely annoying problem. I had shortcuts to several files and folders on my external hard drive which are all gone now.
The purpose of the icons was to remind me of the stuff I needed to come back to later. Now I have to do the opposite--remember the things that I needed to do in order to re-create the shortcuts to them. A little backwards, eh? Thanks Microsoft.

I had all my desktop icons disappear after a reboot. I couldnt recover them. Luckly I had another Admin account so I just deleted that profile and made a new one...very aggravating. Hope this gets sorted out soon.

Oy, I hope they didn't automate the "You have unused desktop icons" nag from XP
As annoying as that was (especially since it ususaly poped up twice in a row) at least you could say no! :)
Not at home right now but maybe a search of the registry for keys related to automatic desktop cleanup might work... (or desktop options)

Sausage & Sauce
Tender juicy spiced Italian sausages slowly cooked in a homemade sweet pepper & onion tomato sauce and served over warm pasta is a comforting dishes that pleases the taste buds and the tummy. It does take a bit of time to make, but it is all worth it.
1. Place the chopped peppers, onions and garlic into a large saucepan with a drizzle of olive oil and a tablespoon or two of butter. Sauté the veggies for about three minutes or until tender on high heat.
2. Toss in the sliced cherry tomatoes with the herbs and spices, combine and cook all the ingredients together for another five minutes on medium heat.
3. Add in the tomato sauce and sugar and give the ingredients a good combine together. Make sure you take a spoon and scoop up some of the sauce to taste it. If the sauce needs more sweetness or flavor, add the desired ingredient you wish until you achieve that flavor and texture you like.
4. Once the sauce has the flavor and texture you wish it too, toss in your sausages, reduce the heat to medium low and allow the sauce to cook with the sausage for twenty minutes.
5. After, the sausages and sauce should be ready to serve up over your favorite cooked tender pasta.

Class sizes
I think the raw material I have to work with here is pretty good. That is the over all intelligence of the student body is quite high. On the other hand it has not been cultivated to the extent it should be before it reaches me. A better background in academic writing for instance would be helpful. Other than lack of preparation, however, my biggest complaint would be the large size of the classes. Having 115 students in a 300 level class is just too much. The only way this is likely to change is if we hire more faculty. Right now the history department is hiring. So if you have a PhD in history I encourage you to come work with us so that we can reduce the size of classes here.

I have no idea about political science. I assume not. I think philosophy is hiring. We need people to teach intellectual history. I am not sure if they would consider a PhD in political theory/philosophy rather than history.

America may not be perfect. Sure, it has its flaws, like Fox News and Donald Trump. But if it's possible to put delicious foods inside other delicious foods, goddamit, they'll find a way.
While we're still messing around with freakshakes in this hemisphere, our American counterparts have unveiled the piecaken: three types of pie baked into a cake.
According to the New York Times, the piecaken has been around for a few years now in underground dessert-eating circles. But the pie-hybrid went viral when a version of it, by the pastry chefs at David Burke Fabrick restaurant in New York, made the rounds on American daytime TV. It featured a particularly dreamy spiced poundcake stuffed with pumpkin pie, pecan pie and topped with upside-down apple pie. There's also cinnamon buttercream slathered on top and oat streusel on the sides.
"Through the magic of butter, it all stays together," Zac Young told the NYT. He's an executive pastry chef for David Burke Group. "The thing takes about seven hours to make, and weighs eight pounds [3.6 kilograms]."
Camilla Clark of Bakewell & Co., who supplies sweet pies to Melbourne cafes including Everyday Coffee and Rupert on Rupert, isn't sure how it would go in Australia.
"Unlike in America, where a love of pie is in their DNA, demand for sweet pies in Australia is still not massive," she tells Broadsheet. "I'm not 100 per cent sure if people in Melbourne would go crazy for a piecaken, but I would definitely give it a go."
Clark says she'd consider trying it out at the next Flour Market.
The Thanksgiving-inspired dessert falls into the Frankenstein meets Inception-style category of food. Its most famous ancestor is the "turducken": a deboned chicken stuffed into a deboned duck, stuffed into a deboned turkey. The Corner Chicken Shop at the Queen Vic Market is actually taking orders for turduckens this year for Christmas.
"We've had 150 orders for this Christmas so far," owner Olivia Gavriel says. "They're easy to carve, and there's no wastage, no bones to mess around with." She says their turducken is becoming increasingly popular since they introduced it six years ago. The Corner Chicken Shop now offers home delivery.
We haven't yet spotted any Melbourne bakers attempting the piecaken yet (the floor is yours), but if you're keen to have a crack for Christmas, there's actually an entire blog dedicated to piecaken recipes; including mini versions called cup-cakens.

Who uses bookmarks anyway?

Opera, my old company, is moving in a very different direction to what it used to do. One effect of that is the removal of bookmarks in the latest version of Opera. To me this is a blatant disrespect of the user base and an outrageous level of arrogance, but what do I know... Maybe I am wrong. Maybe I am the only person in the world to use bookmarks... Do you use bookmarks? Share your experience.

I use bookmarks. I suppose that should come as no surprise since I'm something of an old-timer in Internet circles.
I have had to get a new computer recently because of issues with the old one, and upon finding that I would not be able to get 12.16 and that the new versions of Opera cannot import bookmarks– at least unless you know the secret, and maybe not even then-- I found that Opera's new browsers will be quite unusable here. That speed-dial is a fascinating toy I suppose, but it doesn't help me at all-- especially since it doesn't seem able to import the bookmarks in any kind of orderly fashion.

Look at the length of the scrollbar (not all folders are opened ):
Any questions?
… and yes, 14 speed-dials too (2 of them SD extensions that i don't need to click), more would be slow-dial for me.
You know i use bookmarks ( ~ 2000, saved for years) with the very good Opera bookmarks manager and, sometimes, Speed Dial (mostly with Mobile & Mini).
It's clear the latest Blink powered versions are not designed for legacy Opera Desktop user base :oops:

Bookmarks and speed dial, I use both extensively, so a browser that doesn't offer either one is a no go for me.

Nope, it's neither disrespect nor arrogance. It's just plain stupidity.
However they realized how idiotic their move was and are working on bookmarks.
Whatever, with or without bookmarks that Opera :blink: looks like an abortion to me.
BTW, yes I'm using bookmarks and also have 12 SpeedDials.

I also use bookmarks, albeit my needs are not as compelling as some resulting in my being able to place them on a bookmarks' bar. As some have advised, I've created folders on that bar and then categorized my bookmarks and dragged them into the corresponding folders. I don't bother with the speed dial since my favorites are contained on the bookmarks' bar and therefore always visible. In regards to seldom used bookmarks, they are contained on Yahoo's servers on my personalized Start Page which I configured ages ago.

Yes I also use bookmarks manager and speed dials as well. We have many bookmarks since many years and we sometimes organises them or return back to see what we stored.
Bookmarks was always usefully and great feature for a browser.yes after switch new opera, they made a mistake and now understood but a bit late anymore…
Shortly bookmarks and speed dial are absolutely great features for opera...
viva last edited by
I use them, of course ?.
Speed-Dial is amazing feature, certainly, but only usable with quite limited number of items. Beyond, it quickly becomes unusable.
Maybe this is good idea and efficient for tablet/mobile browsing - an interesting market goal, okay.
But a desktop browser without real bookmarks features is nothing other than a quite bad joke. Don't tell me about QAB.
Anyway currently O15+ need very much more than a native bookmarks manager to be interesting.
So yes, Opera sadly abandon one part of its users.

I use both.
Bookmarks are for things that I find interesting or might need later. A lot of bookmarks I never look at again. A lot of those are probably dead links by now. But I like to have them in case I need them.
Speed Dial is for regularly used sites. I especially like the Ctrl+# shortcut to open a particular Speed Dial entry. One thing that the new Opera has forgotten about.
I do like the new Opera's Speed Dial folders. I like using for folders a few temporary sites that I should take a look at within the next few days. Not something that I'd want to keep in my bookmarks, but something I'd like to look at soon, and then forget about later. Maybe that's what Opera's Stash is meant for. I don't know. I've never found a use for Stash.

Nearly all of the time, I browse the Internet with a purpose in mind: to gather information from specific sites which I trust and are relevant to my purpose at that moment. At another moment, with different purpose in mind, I may need to access completely different kinds of sites, though they usually still need to trusted for the purpose then at hand. Hence, there's no substitute for a good bookmarks capability integrated into the browser, one capable of displaying selected bookmarks and folders on a toolbar, of being organized into topical folders and nested sub-folders to multiple levels, and with a manager capable of editing entries for nicknames, comments, etc. Such a bookmarks structure acts as an indispensable reference library of known-good sites that can be pulled up as needed for a topic at hand. Trying instead to use a search engine for such purposes is doomed by cluttering the browsing process with countless wasted "hits" for sites of uncertain trustworthiness, over and over again.
Most of the time, sites I bookmark are not sites worth wasting browser overhead constantly watching, but are accessed only when needed to check info from a site in its then-current state. SpeedDials waste computer and browser resources when used for this kind of browsing, especially with graphics overhead like thumbnails, live updating, etc. I know exactly what I'm looking for when I seek out and click on a bookmarked link. I want exactly and only that site at that moment, and I want it to be current. Otherwise, I care little or nothing for what that site might contain, so browser resources used to maintain a SpeedDial presence for such sites are utterly wasted on me.
Put another way, for my online needs, a browser acts as an information gathering and monitoring tool. As such, it must be able to access specific kinds of information based on my past experiences, on established trust, and on my current needs… which is precisely what organized, accessible bookmarks enable me to do with great efficiency. When it comes to tools, user efficiency in completing one's tasks is key. I realize other users may not have the same usage perspective as me... but that's where Old Opera excelled: it allowed many user personalities to configure it for browsing in the manner they themselves needed - bookmarks, SpeedDial, multiple tabs, whatever. Moreover, the modes a user didn't need were easily hidden as if they never existed. I don't think I've ever used another software tool so transparently adaptable to differing user methodologies.

I have been using both for a long time. Because of the limitations of Opera's speed dial, in 2007 I started using Tidy Favorites then switched to my own tabbed multi-page local html file. After switching to Cyberfox in July, I started using the FVD Speeddial extension. It is easy to sync between the Firefox branches and even syncs with Chromium varieties. I currently have 253 active links in FVD Speeddial. Bookmarks are used more for archival links (sporadic use). I am the IT Geezer at an environmental consulting firm that has to wear many hats and find things fast (1200 links). I am also a family genealogy researcher (900+ links). Bookmarks are useless without a good manager and multi-layers deep. I do work with some users that only use a dozen web sites on a regular basis but they seem more concerned about the social sites impact on their lives rather than putting their laptops to good use.

Bookmarks and Speed dial.
sgunhouse last edited by
In Opera 12.x and earlier, I never used speed dial - on desktop machines. On my tablet, I did have a couple of speed dials - one for the Opera forums, and one for a weather site. I always had the Bookmarks panel open (except of course when reading mail) … likewise I never used Manage Bookmarks just arranging items in the panel. Opera 15-18 forced me to use Speed dial, though if I could still have a bookmarks panel I'd go back in an instant. I have added several folders to the Quick Access Bar in 19 and 20, but it's not the same.

What is going on here? Do you want to instigate a rebellion? Jon - you too, son? I'm disappointed.
Opera has told you to realize you don´t need a lot of bookmarks (look the ODT blogs you troublemakers!). Most users use anyway no bookmarks -statistics never lies- so you also don´t need any. Opera knows what is good for you.
For the few that you really need, you have speeddial & stash and for the couple of real nerds Opera has finally given you the fantastic bookmarks bar.
And Google is convinced bookmarks are totally unnecessary. If you are looking for something you only need the search engine. The Google service then creates even a personal search profile for you - so that you may later even get
adaptedbetter search results. That is service! And they do that for free and selfless.
So stop this blasphemous rebellion. Nobody needs bookmarks - fin! [sarcasm/off]

Everyone who doesn't just sit looking at their facebook page all day probably uses bookmarks. I have never, ever seen anyone's browser in use that doesn't use bookmarks and I very much doubt such a user exists. :whistle:
Opera made a very dumb decision to release a browser without proper bookmarks and all that they achieved was to alienate their loyal user-base.

I use bookmarks much more than spdy.
Because recent part of my bookmarks is like any-time accessible spdy))
But i use rare bookmarks (some handreds total) too. Because it's b-o-o-k-m-a-r-k-s. I dont want to go to one of BigBrother like Google and search again same i need, and bookmarks save me here.
Yes, i dont use any search engine in address bar. If i want to search i write "g …." or moreoften just go to google or another searcer.
Screen of my Opera 12.16 :
12.16 have memory leaks, for a pity. Want go back to 11.64, it was stable, - but don't want to loose anything in current Opera installation, like mail base, bookmarks, passwords and other.
I dream about stable version of Opera 12… but... where is it?

They don't seem to give much importance to their loyal user-base. Just reminding you that March 1 is around the corner…
Besides, the 'loyal' user base is crumbling anyway except for a few fanboys.
What I found amazing (stupid) is the fact that they managed to alienate even average Joe (to whom the new product seems to be aimed).
Imagine aunt Gertrude reading about the 'new Opera' and deciding to give it a try. First thing she would do is to import her bookmarks from Firefox, InternetExploder or whatever, into the new browser.
Good luck aunt Gertrude, you will have to go to the Opera forums, learn first what QAB means and follow the instructions for several movements until you have done with your bookmarks. In case you had the nerves and were successful you can consider yourself almost a certified Chropera expert. All you need to do for now is to register to Opera's DesktopTeamBlog so you can keep up with further changes
And don't forget dear aunt Gertrude, if you want to become a real Chropera expert, don't miss the Konami Code!

I use both.
And notes as a sort of quick bookmarks which shouldn`t be seen in general list.
Stash in chopera is very interesting idea, but as usual it is unfinished.
PS: I also use notes as password manager simultaneously with wand, and notes as notebook, and notes as contact-list.

This was my first trip back to Malaysia since living there in 2002-2003. It was a lot of fun to go back as a tourist, and at a time when the country seems to be on a steady upswing. I already miss the food. I may have puzzled a lot of Penangites by spending an entire month in their humble city, but my wallet and my taste buds were treated very well. In Langkawi, I tried to get better at slowing down. Finally, my mom and I had a very focused 48 hours-in-KL itinerary with 2 meals at Lot 10's Hutong food court, conveniently located 3 monorail stops from our hotel.
