Programmable Wireless: Pricing
On this page, you will learn the technical details on the pricing constructs used throughout Programmable Wireless.
For up-to-date prices, see the page Programmable Wireless Pricing on the main Twilio.com site.
Programmable Wireless pricing components
Your Programmable Wireless bill includes these four primary components:
SIM Monthly Fees
The first component of a Programmable Wireless bill is the SIM Monthly Fees.
SIM Monthly Fees are
subscriber fees that are charged for any active SIM on your account. This enables your SIM to connect to any available operator at any given time.
SIM Monthly Fees are charged on the first day of your SIM's billing cycle. The SIM's billing cycle starts on the day that it is activated, and recurs monthly on the same day of each subsequent month.
SIM Monthly Fees Pricing Table
|First 500 SIMs (0 - 500)
|Next 500 SIMs (501 – 1,000)
|Next 4,000 SIMs (1,001 – 5,000)
|Next 5,000 SIMs (5,001 – 10,000)
|Next 40,000 SIMs (10,001 – 50,000)
|Above 50,000 SIMs (50,000+)
|Talk to an expert
Data usage
The second component of a Programmable Wireless bill is a data metering plan.
You are billed for data consumed by your SIMs. You can choose from multiple data billing strategies – or Data Metering Plans – for your SIMs.
The choice of a Data metering plan is specified in the SIM's Rate Plan. You can choose from:
- Pay As You Go (PAYG) plan which has no monthly minimum spend.
- Quota-based plans which have minimum monthly spend.
Rate Plans describe the capabilities and restrictions of each SIM associated with a specific Rate Plan. You can read more about them at REST API: Rate Plans as well as Understanding Rate Plans.
With Programmable Wireless, data is always metered at the byte level. This means no PDP-context rounding or other rounding.
Each SIM is billed for data in 100KB increments, on a per-network basis. These increments expire after one year if unused.
Data usage example
- The data price for a given SIM/country is 10¢ per MB.
- When the first byte of data is consumed on a particular operator network, your Twilio account will be billed 1¢ (for 100KB).
- You won't be billed again for data on this particular SIM/network combination until either:
- The same SIM consumes its 101th KB.
- Until one year has passed AND a subsequent byte of data is consumed by this SIM on this network.
Commands usage (MSM SMS)
The third component of a Programmable Wireless bill is Command usage.
Commands are machine-to-machine SMS messages sent and received via the Commands API.
Commands billing is purely usage-based. You will be billed for each individual Command SMS sent or received (To SIM or From SIM).
Suspension fees
The fourth component of a Programmable Wireless bill is suspension fees.
When you suspend a SIM, you reserve the right to reactivate it at any time in the future, in perpetuity.
This carries with it a small fee that is billed in the same style as the SIM Monthly Fee. The first three months of suspension are always free.
To avoid suspension fees, it is possible to deactivate a SIM instead. This is a permanent action, and after 72 hours it will no longer be possible to reactivate the SIM. See SIM Statuses.
National roaming
National roaming is valid only in the United States.
National roaming grants a SIM the ability to roam onto a small set of US-based operator networks in locations where the primary operator (T-Mobile USA) does not attempt to offer service.
That is to say, national roaming is not necessarily used in areas of poor coverage, but rather in areas where T-Mobile USA does not operate its own radio network.
- National roaming is disabled by default and priced differently to regular US data consumption.
- All national roaming data is billed at a constant rate of $0.1000 per MB ($100 per GB).
- All national roaming Commands SMS are billed at $0.1000 per Command (To SIM or From SIM).
- There are no Quota-based tiering or discounts for national roaming data.
Due to the difference in pricing from the T-Mobile network, National Roaming requires the
national_roaming_enabled flag to be set to
true on a SIM's Rate Plan.
Consider the necessity of national roaming to your use case before enabling it. For high consumption use cases, it is not recommended.
Understanding Data Quotas
Pay As You Go (PAYG)
For low usage devices, the "Pay as you go" (PAYG) Data Metering plan is provided. With PAYG data, you'll only pay for the data you consume, with no minimum data spend per SIM per month.
Quota-based metering plan
For higher usage devices, it is probably more cost effective to use a Quota-based Data Metering plan.
With a Quota-based plan, you agree to a minimum data spend, or "Quota" level per SIM per month. In return, you will receive discount rates in every country, with more significant discounts for higher Quotas.
Even on a Quota plan, data is still priced per megabyte and metered at byte-level. But at the end of your SIM's billing month, you either pay for exactly what you consumed, or the Quota price, whichever is higher.
Quote-based metering plan example
Let's work through an example of a mid-consumption IoT use case:
- Let's say your use case necessitates 400MB per month and your fleet will be deployed in the USA and Mexico.
- At the time of writing, with our new $10 Quota plan, USA data is 2¢ per MB and Mexico data is 5¢ per MB.
- A given device consumes 400MB exclusively in the USA, its data bill works out to (400 x $0.02 = $8). Because this is less than the minimum data spend specified by the $10 Quota, you would pay $10.
- Another device consumes 200MB of its consumption in the USA and the other 200MB in Mexico. Its data bill works out to (200 x $0.02 = $4) + (200 x $0.05 = $8), for a total of $12. Because this exceeds the minimum data spend specified by the Quota, you'll pay for exactly what was consumed: $12 in total.
A Quota for each use case
For our self-service pricing, we are offering three Quota levels: $1, $10 and $50. Our intent is that these plans respectively solve for
- IoT (think sensors and actuators)
- Broadband IoT (think digital signage)
- high-usage multimedia devices (think cameras)
To help you estimate the best Quota plan for your use case, we've added a calculator to the Wireless Console (requires login).

IRS Bank Levies
Glendale Debt Relief Attorney Explains Your Options
If you owe the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) money on backed up taxes, it is likely the organization will implement a bank levy. In simplified terms, an IRS bank levy will directly seize or secure your assets, allowing the IRS to find near-immediate solutions to what is sees as a serious discrepancy. As you may know already, the IRS is not infallible and sometimes it can use bank levies without appropriate cause. If you think the IRS has gone too far to penalize you, or if your penalization is not just, contact our Glendale debt relief attorneys from RJB Law Offices today.
We Give You the Strength to Fight the IRS
Most people know that the IRS is a government agency that regulates tax collections, but many do not realize the IRS is also considered a creditor. When the IRS uses its powers to put a levy directly on your personal income or financial sources, you will feel the pressure immediately. If you want to challenge the levy and retain your hard-earned income or resources, you should do so with an experienced team behind you.
A few of our top accolades and accomplishments include:
- Past clients rate us highly
- Rated "Excellent" by Avvo
- More than 20 years of legal experience
- American Society of Tax Problem Solvers membership
IRS Bank Levies & What They Can Seize
The IRS has gained notoriety for doing whatever they can to collect backed taxes from individuals and businesses alike. Unconcerned with how their decisions will impact your well-being, the IRS may even take action fully knowing that it will throw you into bankruptcy.
A IRS bank levy can seize property and estate assets, such as:
- Checking or saving account cash
- Heirlooms, inheritances, and liquid funds
- Actual individualized deposit certificates
- Any 401K funds
If you are paying off a piece of real estate, the IRS can attach a lien to it as part of its tax collection strategy. When there is a property lien attached to your property, you will likely be unable to sell it without first paying back the IRS whatever taxes they owe. If you are permitted to sell it, the profit will go directly to the IRS, rather than your accounts.

What I liked:
- The crepe paper ruffle with stitched ribbon was beautiful. I would love spools of it in every color!
- The alphabet flags were a great change of pace for titles.
- The glitter accents on the papers and embellishments added a touch of class.
What I didn't like:
- Although I love the look of glitter, I definitely wish it didn't stick to everything (i.e. photos, hands, counters, etc)
- I would have liked a few more letters in the alphabets, but was able to do a couple titles without running out.

Lise Hand: Budget rumour mill grinds to halt
NORMALLY there's only one topic up for debate in Leinster House in November. Normally, the corridors of power are overflowing with kites, hints, red herrings, leaks, frighteners, portents, nods, winks and conspiratorial grassy knolls.
These aren't normal times. Instead of the weeks before yet another scarifying €3.5bn Budget being consumed by fevered whispers and debate about cuts and taxes, politicians are reeling under the shadow of Savita.
Yesterday the Taoiseach was in Brussels for yet another (sigh) Crunch Summit, which consists of intense haggling and horse-trading worthy of the Ballinasloe Fair as crucial decisions are made on the EU's budget for the next seven years.
But this didn't get a mention in the Dail during Leaders' Questions yesterday. Nor was there a peep out of anyone during the session on what horrors may await when Michael Noonan rises to his feet in the chamber on December 5.
For the tragic death of Savita Halappanavar and the subsequent return of abortion to the centre-stage has transfixed the Government as it desperately casts about for answers to the tangle of tricky questions.
Nor is the opposition any less at sea – all of the Oireachtas is now navigating through uncharted waters.
Those waters became even choppier on Wednesday night when there was a highly unusual intervention from President Higgins who called for "some form of investigation" which meets the needs of the public concern, the family and State.
The pressure is being piled on the Government from all quarters – from Savita's husband Praveen, from our head of state, from the electorate – to find a quick solution to the inquiry impasse. And it was Social Protection Minister Joan Burton who was in the hot-seat in the Dail yesterday morning. "How can the Government continue with this investigation?" demanded Fianna Fail's Billy Kelleher.
"The family don't want it, at this stage some of the minister's colleagues don't want it and the President has told the Government it is clearly wrong."
Joan had her own view on Michael D's remarks. She reckoned that they were "considerate, thoughtful, reflective and humane".
The Ceann Comhairle swiftly interrupted the minister. "Under Article 13.8.1 of the Constitution, the President is not answerable to the Dail, and the minister should respect that," he said firmly.
But the President merely got a modest mention in the chamber. The focus of attention was all on grieving Praveen, who had cast doubt over the proposed HSE inquiry by refusing to co-operate with it.
Joan went straight to the heart of a heart-breaking matter: "Let's cut to the net point. This is about the safety and care of women so that this episode or some tragic happening like this does not occur again. It is about the care, protection and safety of women when in hospital in relation to childbirth and pregnancy."
And she was right. So many people on this small island know someone who has felt the pain of the loss of a pregnancy – as Sinn Fein's Jonathan O'Brien so movingly revealed when he told a hushed chamber that he knew "what it is like to stand helplessly by while the life of an unborn child that I and my wife created slipped away".
This is why Savita's story won't leave the political stage. For her tragedy is our tragedy.

New Owner For Quickflix: Business Will Continue Trade, Return For Creditors, Jobs Retained
On the same day that Foxtel announces Presto is closing down, comes a press release that Quickflix is back from voluntary administration.
In April this year, Quickflix appointed business consultancy Ferrier Hodgson as voluntary administrator as the company buckles under increasing pressure in the SVOD market. But now Quickflix has announced it will continue to trade, return for creditors and jobs retained.
Full press release:
Deloitte Restructuring Services partners Jason Tracy and Richard Hughes were appointed Joint Voluntary Administrators of Perth-based DVD rental and digital content streaming business Quickflix Limited (ACN 102 459 352) on 6 May 2016.
The business was established in 2003 and listed on the ASX in 2005. Its head office is in Perth, and it operates a distribution centre in Auburn in Sydney
At the second meeting of creditors in Perth on 4 October 2016, creditors approved a Deed of Company Arrangement (DOCA) proposed by US-based Karma Media Holdings LLC.
The DOCA will see Karma Media Holdings take control of the Quickflix business and its assets in exchange for payment of AU$1.3 million into a Deed fund. Other benefits include the assumption of certain employee entitlements, the mitigation of future contingent claims and the continuation of services to Quickflix's customers.
Unsecured creditors will receive as much as 21.5 cent in the dollar, the majority of employees will be retained by the new owner, and employees not retained will receive outstanding entitlements in full.
Joint Voluntary Administrator, Jason Tracy said: "Quickflix has encountered corporate challenges and impediments in a highly competitive environment. As Administrators we have been able to continue trading the business since our appointment, reduce costs, retain value, keep employing the majority of staff, and conduct a global sale process.
"The result is a good outcome for stakeholders. Under new control, the Quickflix business will continue to trade, 24 employees will be retained, departing or already departed employees will receive all relevant entitlements, creditors will get a return and suppliers will have the option of trading with the continuing business.
"I would like to thank Quickflix management and employees, customers, creditors and suppliers for their support."

4. Laplace Transforms of the Unit Step Function
We saw some of the following properties in the Table of Laplace Transforms.
Recall `u(t)` is the unit-step function.
1. ℒ`{u(t)}=1/s`
2. ℒ`{u(t-a)}=e^(-as)/s`
3. Time Displacement Theorem:
If `F(s)=` ℒ`{f(t)}` then ℒ`{u(t-a)*g(t-a)}=e^(-as)G(s)`
[You can see what the left hand side of this expression means in the section Products Involving Unit Step Functions.]
Sketch the following functions and obtain their Laplace transforms:
(a) `f(t)={ {: (0,t < a), (A, a < t < b), (0, t > b) :}`
Assume the constants a, b, and A are positive, with a < b.
The function has value A between t = a and t = b only.
Graph of `f(t)=A*[u(t-a)-u(t-b)]`.
We write the function using the rectangular pulse formula.
We use `Lap{u(t-a)}=(e^(-as))/s`
We also use the linearity property since there are 2 items in our function.
Please support IntMath!
(b) `f(t)={ {: (0,t < a), (e^(t-a), a < t < b), (0, t > b) :}`
Assume the constants a and b are positive, with a < b.
Our function is `f(t)=e^(t-a)`. This is an exponential function (see Graphs of Exponential Functions).
When `t = a`, the graph has value `e^(a-a)= e^0= 1`.
Graph of `f(t)=e^(t-a)*{u(t-a)-u(t-b)}`.
The function has the form:
We will use the Time Displacement Theorem:
Now, in this example, `G(s)=` `Lap{e^t}=1/(s-1)``Lap{e^(t-a)*[u(t-a)-u(t-b)]}`
`=` `Lap{e^(t-a)*u(t-a)-e^(t-a)*u(t-b)}`
We now make use of a trick, by noting `(t-a) = (b-a ) + (t-b)` and re-writing `e^(t-a)` as `e^(b-a)e^(t-b)`:
`= Lap{e^(t-a)*u(t-a)` `{:-e^(b-a)e^(t-b)*u(t-b)}`
[We have introduced eb−a, a constant, for convenience.]
`=` `Lap{e^(t-a)*u(t-a)}-` `e^(b-a)Lap{e^(t-b)*u(t-b)}`
[Each part is now in the form `u(t − c) · g(t − c)`, so we can apply the Time Displacement Theorem.]
`=e^(-as)xx1/(s-1)` `-e^(b-a)xxe^(-bs)xx1/(s-1)`

(c) `f(t)={ {: (0,t < 0), (sin\ t, 0 < t < pi), (0, t > pi) :}`
Here is the graph of our function.
Graph of `f(t) = sin t * [u(t) − u(t − π)]`.
The function can be described using Unit Step Functions, since the signal is turned on at `t = 0` and turned off at `t=pi`, as follows:
`f(t) = sin t * [u(t) − u(t − π)]`
Now for the Laplace Transform:
`Lap{sin\ t * [u(t)-u(t-pi)]}` `=` `Lap{sin\ t * u(t)}- ` `Lap{sin\ t * u(t - pi)}`
Now, we need to express the second term all in terms of `(t - pi)`.
From trigonometry, we have:
`sin(t − π) = -sin\ t`
So we can write:
`Lap{sin\ t * u(t)}- ` `Lap{sin\ t * u(t - pi)}`
`= ` `Lap{sin\ t * u(t)}+ ` `Lap{sin(t - pi)* u(t - pi)}`

A Classroom Management Plan That Works
A teacher's job is a highly respected and specialised subject, be it teaching kindergarten, grade school, highschool, faculty, or publish-graduate programs. A very educational article, i feel group work to be essentially the most efficient strategy, but ofc that is my opinion and i know it differs from state of affairs to scenario.

Mexico's President Enrique Pena Nieto speaks to the audience during a meeting with members of the diplomatic corps in Mexico City, Mexico
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico's government said on Wednesday it would throw its relationship with the United States wide open when it sits down for talks with the incoming U.S. administration, putting security, migration and trade on the table in search of a deal.
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has threatened to tear up a trade agreement that underpins Mexico's economic model if he cannot renegotiate its terms in his favor, battering the peso currency and fuelling uncertainty over foreign investment.
However, President Enrique Pena Nieto said Mexico would take a broad approach to the talks, seeking a deal that would benefit both Mexico and its neighbor as his government attempted to head off the risk of an economic shock from the Trump presidency.
"All the issues that define our bilateral relationship are on the table, including security, migration and trade," Pena Nieto said in a speech to a group of diplomats.
Reuters reported last month that Mexico's government aimed to use security and migration to gain leverage over the United States in its talks with Trump, and could offer to reinforce its borders to get a better deal on trade.
Trump takes office on Jan. 20, and last week Mexico named former finance minister Luis Videgaray to be its new foreign minister, giving him a crucial role in discussions with the new U.S. government. A date has yet to be set for formal talks.
In a news conference on Wednesday the New York real estate magnate said he would soon begin talks with Mexico on building a border wall to keep out illegal immigrants and would make Mexico reimburse the United States for construction costs. Trump also promised a major border tax on companies that moved jobs outside the United States, giving the example of firms relocating plants to Mexico.
Pena Nieto said Mexico would invest in a more secure border but repeated that it would not pay for Trump's wall.
He noted the U.S. government shared responsibility for the migrants seeking to reach the United States, and should also work to stop the southward flow of illegal weapons and illicit funds that helped finance organized crime in Mexico.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- On Monday after the close, Buffalo Wild Wings (BWLD) will report results for the first quarter.
In the previous quarter, total revenue increased 12.4% year over year to $341.5 million, and earnings per share grew 23.6% to $1.10, due to lower cost of sales. The driver was a new pricing structure, selling wings by portion size instead of by wing number, that was rolled out late in the previous quarter. The benefits of this pricing structure, as well as the restaurants' new "Guest Experience" model, should help earnings growth continue in the current quarter. The average estimate for the current quarter is $1.34 per share on revenue of $362.96 million.
If dozens of big-screen TV's showing every sport, lots of beer and great-tasting wings weren't enough to keep you entertained before, Buffalo Wild Wings is also embarking on an ambitious plan offering table-side tablets at all of its stores in the coming year. These tablets allow customers to play poker or trivia games with other customers in the restaurant or at other Buffalo Wild Wing locations around the country. So far, this technology is in use at 300 restaurants, after Buffalo Wild Wings signed a deal with interactive entertainment company NTN Buzztime (NTN) - Get Report late last year. The technology was expanded upon in March.
To aid in its tech push last quarter, Buffalo Wild Wings initiated a service model dubbed "Guest Experience" in corporate-owned stores. Dedicated "guest experience captains" were added to hourly server teams to help with the new gadgetry and assist customers with sports-viewing requests, all in an effort to empower customers. The company expects this service model to be in place in all company-owned stores by year-end and in all franchisees by the end of 2015.
We should hear more about this major corporate initiative during a conference call on Monday. The company should give us an update on its plans to begin offering table-side ordering using the new technology, as well as on an expected trial run of letting customers pay for their meals using the tablets. Both of these engaging ideas should help drive down customer wait times, increase the patrons' satisfaction and boost revenue.
Buffalo Wild Wings' stock has been under pressure with the rest of the market over the last month. Strong support lies in the $130 to $135 area, where the 200-day moving average is. A break of the downtrend at $145 should see Buffalo Wild Wings move back to its previous high at $159. If the stock is unable to hold above $130, there is 10% to 15% downside risk.
The rest of the casual dining sector will be looking closely at how quickly Buffalo Wild Wings' customers adapt to the new technology, and at the positive impact it has on earnings.

The prison at Guantanamo Bay is just one of the many detention facilities housing detainees in the War on Terror. Some sites are well known — such as the infamous Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq — while others, called the CIA "black sites," operated clandestinely. According to the human rights group Reprieve, the United States has acknowledged that 26,000 individuals are currently held in secret prisons. Also according to Reprieve, an estimated 80,000 prisoners have been through the system since 2001. Below is an overview:
The largest Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) prison in Afghanistan had the code name Salt Pit. Reports indicate that in 2002, a detainee allegedly froze to death after he was stripped and left chained to a concrete floor all night. Due to concerns about soldiers' safety travelling on the road to the prison, it was relocated to the Bagram Air Base approximately 43 kilometres north of Kabul.
The U.S. military also has a detention facility inside Bagram, which was set up after the invasion of Afghanistan. When the flow of terrorism suspects to Guantanamo Bay largely stopped in 2004, an increasing number were sent to Bagram and it became overcrowded. Now, construction is under way on a new facility. Many of the prisoners have been transferred to a newly constructed prison run by the Afghan military, but the military detention facility at Bagram is still in use.
In 2004, CBS's "60 Minutes" aired photos taken at Abu Ghraib depicting guards posing with prisoners who had been forced to assume humiliating positions. A report by Major General Antonio Taguba described numerous instances of criminal abuse of detainees at Abu Ghraib between October and December 2003. In 2006, control of Abu Ghraib was handed over to the Iraqi government.
The primary military detention centre in Iraq is Camp Bucca. The vast facility on the Iraq-Kuwait border houses more than 15,000 Iraqi prisoners and 8,000 jailers. Reportedly, Bucca is expected to be shut down in mid-2009, at which time any remaining detainees will be transferred to another camp at an air base near Baghdad.
The CIA operated a network of secret prisons called "black sites" between 2001 and 2006. These overseas sites were chosen because it is illegal to hold prisoners covertly in the United States.
The CIA has refused to release details, but the black site prison system allegedly included at various times sites in Thailand, Afghanistan, several Eastern European states and a facility within the military prison in Guantanamo Bay.
On September 6, 2006, President Bush acknowledged in an address to the nation that the CIA had held prisoners in secret without charge for years, and that detainees had been subjected to tough "alternative" interrogation procedures. The president said that he had emptied the sites and that the prisoners had been transferred.
In 2006, the U.S. military transferred 14 "high-value" terrorism suspects from secret sites to the main prison at Guantanamo Bay. The group included Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the alleged planner of the September 11 attacks; senior al-Qaida aide Abu Zubaida; and an Indonesian extremist known as Hambali who has been linked to bombings in Bali and the Philippines. President Bush asserted that interrogations of these detainees by specially trained CIA officers yielded information that led to the unravelling of al-Qaida plots to manufacture anthrax spores, attack a Marine base in the African country Djibouti and the U.S. consulate in Pakistan, and to fly a passenger plane into a site in London.
The CIA's practice of transferring captured terrorism suspects to countries where interrogation practices are allowed that would be illegal in the United States is known as extraordinary rendition. Allegedly, prisoners were sent to countries including Syria, Jordan, Morocco and Egypt. According to the human rights group Reprieve, there have been more than 200 new cases of rendition since 2006.
The United States allegedly has housed detainees in "floating prisons" on as many as 17 ships since 2001. According to the human rights group Reprieve, detainees are interrogated onboard the ships and then transferred to undisclosed locations.

while we have not reached autumn equinox, the beginning of tashi's school year tends to mark the end of summer. this year tashi's first day of school is august 31, my very own birthday. so it seemed appropriate to have an end of summer celebration this past weekend.
it was tristan's first party in his very own home. he had ever so many fans.
and there were music jams of the best kind. our house was blessed with the amazing sound of an indian sitar.
tashi said her goodbye to a dear friend who is moving.
and aside from the gazpacho, guacamole, beer, sangria, lemon rice, potato salad, pesto pasta, peach cobbler and etc, there was watermelon.
a perfect ending. and beginning. cheers!

tug the essence. single stitch nudged. keen acknowledgment. soul rearranges molecules. flesh by flesh she explores the deeping tale. aromatic drift rustles oatstraw. beyond the particulars, conclusion is embroidered. she trots toward opening thread. texture makes no uncertain announcement. tapestry is discovered where cloth she nuzzled. a quickening breeze ripples linen across line.

monday round up
my daily themes are a little boggled here as we had an internet free weekend camping in the shenandoah national park.
in the end it was a lovely weekend, though there were a few challenges along the way.
first there was the rain. friday brought some on and off torrents of rain, while our saturday was largely spent in our friends' vw vanagon as a relentless downfall showered the afternoon away.
as far as challenges go, rain is a positive force. we had no choice but to relax, play games, converse, drink a couple of beers, nap, draw, read and listen to the tink tink of water play upon all surfaces. there were certainly moments of longing; the view of the blue ridge from our campsite was breathtaking and completely shrouded in fog. but when the rain finally ceased around 4pm and the clouds lifted, all life was a sparkling wonder.
the negative challenge that befell us involved a group of clueless, rude and ignorant guys (and one girl) who arrived in the campsite next to ours around midnight friday. i awoke to the sound of their hatchet relentlessly chopping for the next three hours. mixed in with the chopping was a lot of cursing and the sound of some sort of weapon. i was paralyzed by fear, as were -- i learned the following morning -- the other campers around us. our friend, who hadn't heard the gun sounds, climbed out of his vanagon and told them off around 2:30am. they grumbled that they were going to sleep and shortly after that a huge downpour snuffed out their party for good.
we were so looking forward to revenge the next morning, as well as having them evicted. but they left by 6:30am. when we looked at the reserve tag on their campsite, we learned they were squatters, as the folks who actually reserved the site were not due to arrive until later that day. we also learned that the gun had been a paint ball gun, leaving green pellets and splashes of paint on the ground and the trees. there were wood chips all over; they had chopped bits off of the trees surrounding the site. and if that wasn't enough, they downed a whole tree further in the woods. suffice it to say, the ranger was furious. so we had a little crime scene investigation unfolding next to us all saturday morning.
i'm not sure what would possess a people to come into a major campground in a national park and do that sort of thing. but what is really disappointing is that they got away with it.
of course, the event will make our camping excursion particularly memorable, for better or worse.
but ** nothing ** can beat
* chili and bratwurst and eggs and bagles and coffee and chai cooked or warmed on a fire
* three young bucks grazing so close that we could practically reach out and pat them
* tashi and her best friend skipping around arm in arm and building fairy houses
* tristan's absolute wonder with the trees, the tent, the van and the sky
* the golden post storm sun and moon set
* the incredibly bright stars on saturday night
* orion on the eastern horizon
* a few meteorites
* the changing face of the blue ridge throughout the weekend
* and an invitation to our friends to become tristan's god parents
now that the wee bairn is properly initiated into the wonders of sleeping outside all weekend, we will surely do it again.
and again. and again.
but hopefully never again to the sound of paint ball guns and after hours hatchets.

thing thursday: a camping we will go
as dan grinds coffee beans soon to be percolated on the campstove, i'm taking a break from packing everything from canned beans to diaper wipes, flash lights to board books.
preparing for camping can take as long as the camping excursion itself, but once you're lying on a blanket in the blue ridge, you find that the hub bub was well worth the effort.
there is nothing like being outside all weekend long.
when ever tristan is having a fussy moment at home, all i have to do is step outside. he calms, cranes his neck to look at the trees, and whoops a little. i think our wee lad is going to love camping.
to add to the fun, we're camping with friends. tashi gets to sleep in a tent with a her pal, while the parents sip adult beverages around a camp fire.
things, yes, things. camping things. lanterns. cookware. sleeping bags. tents. canned goods. produce. dry goods. ice. diapers. books. socks. sleepwear. rope. plant guides. binoculars.
and off we go. . .

homemade monday
my brother -- danny -- who is visiting, asked if i could sew up some bibs for a friend of his who has a newborn. i said, "sure," and had him pick out some fabrics.
and so that is my small homemade accomplishment for today.

sunday round up
it's been a busy week, but busy of the best variety. dan's sister visited in the beginning of the week, and my brother arrived at the end of the week. so there have been drives through the beautiful countryside, picnics whilst listening to live music, investigations of the downtown mall, forays into the university of virginia, giggles with tristan and games with tashi.
in the mean time, tristan has started to roll over, is just a couple ounces shy of seventeen pounds and has evidenced much interest in the ice cream cone. it will be quite a while before he gets to devour the sweet stuff, no matter how much his sister wants to give him a taste. oh, and we're pretty sure he can say, mom. but of course.
today we visited the new mudhouse in crozet, a light filled, airy and elegant coffeehouse that has been a long time coming to that community.
a camping trip is being planned for next weekend, so in between everything else, i will have to inventory our camping supplies and prepare for our first tent adventure with tristan. i am very much looking forward to a little weekend escape into the blue ridge.

free form friday
today i removed all the blinds in our living room. every window in our house has metal blinds. they are embedded between double panes. they open and close but don't lift. with some urging from aunt sue, i found that they were easier to remove than i had thought. so the first to go were the ones in the living room. ahhhhh. it is so much better to have an unimpeded view of the green world. next is the kitchen.
also today, uncle danny arrived. we took him to fridays after five where we ate gazpacho and listened to brazilian music.

BOSTON – Junior forward Bridget Sherman of the Wesleyan University women's ice hockey team found the back of the net for the first time this season on Saturday afternoon, but junior Edy Moritz finished with a goal and an assist for UMass-Boston, as the Beacons claimed a 3-1 win during the first round of the 11th annual Codfish Bowl Invitational in Boston, Mass.
- Sophomore goalie Sam Smith (1-1-0) was strong in net again for the Cardinals (2-2-0), turning away 37 of 40 shots. The Tarentum, Pa. native was in net for the Cardinals' 5-2 home-opening win against Post on Saturday, Nov. 18.
- The Beacons (4-2-2) took control of the game early with a two-goal outburst in the span of one minute, 17 seconds during the opening period. On the first goal, junior Arielle Gallucci and freshman Jane Ann Drill did all the heavy lifting, which led to a scoring opportunity for sophomore Rachel Peacock, as the forward beat Smith at the 4:18 mark for the first tally of the game.
- Senior forward Katie Barry activated the goal light with the game winner at the 5:35 mark, with assists credited to Moritz and junior forward Kaitlin Parent.
- Wesleyan responded with a quick goal in the second period, as Sherman registered her fourth collegiate goal on assists by junior assistant captain Sarah Goss and junior forward Gina Mangiafridda. Mangiafridda and Goss have been on fire this season, with Goss leading the team in points (four) and assists (three), while Mangiafridda, who hails from Pelham, N.Y., leads the group with a pair of goals. Goss has tallied at least one point in three of four games this year, and Mangiafridda exploded with a two-goal performance during the win over Post.
- The Beacons regained their two-goal cushion with eight minutes left in the second on a power-play tally by Moritz, as sophomore forward Julia Nolan tallied her first assist of the afternoon.
- Wesleyan continues to get impressive goaltending, as Smith currently boasts a .909 save percentage, and sophomore Allegra Grant (1-1-1) leads the team with an outstanding .953 save percentage, to go along with a 1.50 goals-against average.
- Goss, junior defensewoman Jackie Kilar and senior captain Alex Horton each posted three shots for the visitors, and Peacock led all players with eight shots on target.
- Senior goalie Rachel Myette (1-2-2) earned the win in net for UMass-Boston, saving 21 of 22 shots.
- The Beacons, who improved to 5-1 all time against the Cardinals, compiled a 1-for-6 showing on the power play, and Wesleyan went 0-for-3 on the advantage.
- The Cardinals will be back in action against Stevenson on Sunday at 1 p.m. during second-day action at the Codfish Bowl Invitational.

DevSecOps: Taking a DevOps Approach to Security
Can Dev-"Sec"-Ops really exist?
More organisations are embracing DevOps and automation to realise compelling business benefits, such as more frequent feature releases, increased application stability, and more productive resource utilization. However, many security and compliance monitoring tools have not kept up. In fact, they often represent the largest single remaining barrier to continuous delivery.
Chef and Alert Logic work together to help customers to create a secure & compliant, continuous delivery pipeline for software releases, join James Brown, Director of Cloud Computing & Security Architecture at Alert Logic and Alex Manly, Solution Architect at CHEF for this live webinar to discuss the principles of security being part of the DevOps evolution.
In this webinar we will outline:
- How DevOps principles can be extended to security
- Overcoming challenges in DevOps environments
- Best practices for blending DevOps with security
- 12 Practical Security Tips for DevOps
- Live Q&A
This webinar is a must-attend event for anyone wanting to debate how to adopt a continuous delivery model to security.

ok.. back to the main topic.. ^^ haha.. well actually i wanna share 5 things that Toma values the most. hope u guyz will love these fun facts bout him. minna-san douzo~
TOMA's TREASURES
In my family, I have my father, mother, brother, me and a dog . It's a tan toy poodle. When I go home it'll welcome me, and it's very good at comforting me (laughs). Our family's relationship is especially good. When I was young we often travel together. My dad's really sporty. It's really great, and I sort envy him. When I was young I thought his back was very strong and wide. My mom is very gentle, but she's still really terrifying when she's angry (laughs). But, sometimes I think I've inherited her personality, which is neither strong nor weak. As for my brother, we sometimes go watch stage plays. Compared to before, the time I spend with my family has decreased, but I still valued my family very much.
Even if they're not by my side now, even if you had just argued yesterday, you will still spend every day with your friends during your student years right? It's so great. My high school friends and I were extremely close, but I can't see them everyday, so I sometimes feel nostalgic about my student era. Despite this, we'll still meet up very often (laughs). To me, friends are the people who can help me recover from things I dislike, or exhaustion, then to help me recover my energy, friends lead that sort of existence.
During my senior years of high school, I acted in a stage play and decided "I just want to do this kind of job". I also wondered where my life will stray to. Although I worked hard and was happy, I still lacked confidence in my decision sometimes. Although I no longer feel this way, I can't still see my future. The day ten years from now is still blurry. No matter what though, I'd like to continue working hard at my job and drinking happily with my friends (laughs). How should I say.. I hope I can be the type of person that can battle passionately for something. I still love the kind of person who works amazingly hard. Whether it's for academics, sports, works.. anything is good. Amidst all of these hard working people, I also want to live to the max.
Love, it's pretty far from me right now. But it's not because I don't want to start a relationship, it's only that I enjoy work very much right now, so I probably can't spare energy for it. I'm the kind of person that concentrates on one thing so I'll always throw myself completely into what I'm doing in the present. I really do want to balance work with my private life, but it's really hard (laughs). But if someone's in a loving relationship, the person will probably change no matter if the person is a girl or boy. His or her expressions will become more lively. But although love and relationships are very far from me right now, love itself is still pretty good.

"O" No
I almost feel like we need someone playing bagpipes when we talk of Greg Oden's career. Portland's big man crumpled into a heap of pain and agony last night early in the first quarter, and he would not return. A broken patella will likely sideline Oden for the rest of the '09-'10 campaign, and while Portland did manage to squeak out a 1-point victory, the Blazers just continue to be decimated by long-term injuries. If Andre Miller is indeed on some sort of trading block, Portland might just be looking to get healthy bodies in return, or some sort of pain meds.
In better news, we've managed to nail 8 of our last 9 official NBA wagers, a monster step for an NBA season that did not get off on the right foot.
Sports Wagering
Knicks/Nets - Knicks by 5 at home with a total of 201. This is a great value play on the Nets, just taking a peek at the line, but that's why we do a full handicap every day; a peek is not enough. That being said, you just have to love the value with the Nets, who just won their first game, but there's almost zero chance the public is going to think this team can win ANOTHER. The gut reaction from most folks is to think that New Jersey will lose 15-20 more before their next win, but momentum (and pressure) rarely work that way. This New Jersey team is actually decent -- they have an All-Star point guard, a future All-Star center, and as I've said before, some pieces that complement the two stars quite well. There isn't much I can write to enamor folks with the Nets, but given the way these teams have played, I think this is a nice spot to get some points with the team that is no longer towing an anchor. What's more, the Knicks are coming home off a big road win over the Hawks. This team is almost equally bad at both home and road venues, so we can't think much of them playing at home, and it doesn't hurt that New York is hosting Portland the following night. Lean to the Nets, and the world's tiniest total lean to the Under.
Bucks/Cavaliers - Bucks getting 7 points on their home court with a total of 195. This write-up may serve to confuse, but trust me, there's a point, a method to my madness. The Cleveland Cavaliers are 14-5 this season, including a solid 11-2 run since early November. They have covered each of their last 3 games, as well, each as a pretty big favorite. The Cavs have scored over 100 in all 3 of those games, and they have held their opponents to 95, 90 and 87 points, chronologically. So why oh why am I going to tell you I'm leaning to the Bucks? Well, because Milwaukee is a robust 7-2 at home, with BOTH home losses by just 2 points (to Orlando and to Dallas). I just love how well the Bucks shoot the ball on their court, and I think we might see them lose by 2 points again, but that would still be an easy 5-point cover. I also think with Milwaukee's devolving defense (in some part due to injury), this game has a nice shot of going Over the total. People still seem to think Unders when the Cavs are involved, but they have been scoring easy buckets lately, and Lebron looks happy to be doing so.
Pistons/Wizards - Detroit by 3 at home with a total of 189. This might be an interesting game, believe it or not. Both teams have been significantly hurt by injuries this year, but both are slowly getting healthy, and both are slowly developing a little chemistry. The Pistons might very well get another piece of the puzzle back soon, in Rip Hamilton. Rip or no Rip, though, this team is actually fairly tough to play in Detroit. They've won their last 2 home games, one over the Hawks and one over the Bucks, and despite all the injuries and the complete lack of firepower, the Pistons are 5-4 in their building. A lot of that has to do with Ben Wallace, who, as I mentioned in the fantasy notes a week back, collects about 4 extra rebounds per game at home, and almost a steal and a block more per game, as well. Curious who the 4 home losses are against? Going backwards from this moment, the Clippers (with no Rip, Villanueva, Tayshaun or Ben Gordon), Cleveland, Dallas, and in the second game of the year, the Thunder. So really, when this team has even SOME of the pieces healthy, they're a bit of a load at home. The Wizards are all over the place, losing their last one at home to Toronto. There is a revenge issue, though, as Detroit beat Washington in Washington 106-103 back in mid-November. That angle does concern me slightly. Both teams have plenty of rest days after this one, so there's no look-ahead. I lean SLIGHTLY to the Pistons, no lean on the total.
Kings/Heat - A pick, total of 205. I have to say, I am REALLY curious which side the public takes on this one. Should really give us a strong indicator of how the public feels about these two teams. My guess is that we'll see the general folk backing Dwyane Wade coming off that heartbreaking loss in Los Angeles. That being said, I usually like to fade a team coming off a ridiculous loss in a game that for all intents and purposes, the Heat should have won. If Sacramento wasn't playing the second half of a back-to-back off tonight's 8-point loss in Phoenix (a game they covered), I'd jump on the Kings in a heartbeat, since I still don't feel Miami has turned the corner. The Heat are playing a bit better on this road trip, taking a game in Portland before getting blown out in Denver, but that loss to the Lakers is the type of defeat that can lead to a very poor performance in the next game. There's just something psychologically when you put every ounce you've got on the line like the Heat did in LA and still come up short, it's tough to get back up for the next game. Plus, it doesn't hurt that the Kings have covered 5 straight, and have won 4 consecutive home games and 7 of 8. More to come on this one tomorrow, in terms of the side, though you can see the lean to the Kings. The total seems awfully high, and it may be inflated because of some high-scoring games from both teams, but I expect the Kings to be a step slow, and I expect the Heat to try to win with defense. Slight lean to the Under.
Lakers/Suns - Lakers by 9.5 with a total of 223. This game is a rematch of a game in Los Angeles that occurred on November 12, a game the Lakers won by 21 points. The public is going to look at that game, and go apeshit for LA, or at least that's the impression I get. I see this one going a bit differently. As I noted in the write-up above, I like fading teams coming off devastating losses, but I also like to fade teams coming off miracle wins. There is, in my opinion, something of a false notion that a team can really build momentum from a 3-point bank-shot at the buzzer, but I feel the emotional letdown that comes in the early stages of the following game outweighs whatever so-called "good feelings" a team might garner from the 25-foot fling to win a game. In this case, perhaps even moreso, since we're talking about the Lakers, who should have beat Miami by a handful to begin with, if they had played an even half-decent game. We may be able to catch the Lakers at inflated lines here, as they covered 5 of 6 large favorite lines, and now suddenly the lines are getting even larger despite the Lakers failing to cover in two straight. The Suns bounced back from some tough road losses to beat the surging Kings tonight, and I think we'll see a nice effort from the Suns tomorrow. I don't think they get blown out like last time. Slight lean to Phoenix, slight lean to the Under, since I don't see the Lakers playing that great of a game.
Fantasy Advice
Joel Przybilla - With Greg Oden going down for the season, the Vanilla Gorilla is in line to pick up the bulk of the minutes at center, yet again. He should be a pretty consistent source of rebounds and blocks, and considering the great majority of his shots will likely be dunks and layups, one would figure a very high FG% might get in the mix, as well.
Chris Duhon - Was not able to post yesterday due to time constraints, but Duhon double-doubled for the first time in about a decade. This might be a nice time to grab him and hope for the best, then try to spin a trade if he stays hot for a week or two. If you recall, last year Duhon was an assist monster the first half of the year, then hit a wall. Here's hoping he finds that form, even if it's only for a month.

The seventh annual Pebble Beach Food and Wine Festival is a four day extravaganza taking place in Monterey, California from April 10th-April 13th. With 250 wineries offering their goodies and over 75 celebrity chefs giving away their slicing and dicing secrets, this is every foodies dream!
Round trip from New York ⇄ Monterey, California (April 10th-April 13th) with prices starting at just $668, flight details: www.travelpapa.com
The event starts on Thursday at the world famous Inn at Spanish Bay and everyone who is an anybody in the culinary world will be offering up cooking demos to share their unique skills in a wide variety of dishes. There will be exclusive lunches and dinner opportunities everyday, with the menu ranging from Asian cuisine to some of the rarest, other-worldly delicacies.
The wine tastings are always a favorite (think of a buffet…but for wine!) with a total of 21 wine seminars taking place over the course of the four day weekend. Tingle your taste buds and test your knowledge with blind tastings and be the first to try some experimental flavors, such as "cherry pie wine" (combining our favorite two things: dessert and alcohol 2-in-1).
Not to mention that all this delicious excitement will be taking place on the beautiful Pebble Beach coastline, which is considered as the home to one of the most amazing golf courses in the world (a golf god's throne, if you will). If you can find sometime between eating and drinking (and repeating), swing at a few balls, wander over to the Big Sur or find your way to the scenic Monterey Aquarium.
*sigh* If only every weekend was the fantastic…
