Building on the success of its storefront and fulfillment services, Amazon now allows businesses to "rent" computing power, data storage and bandwidth on its vast network platform. This book demonstrates how developers working with small- to mid-sized companies can take advantage of Amazon Web Services (AWS) such as the Simple Storage Service (S3), Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Simple Queue Service (SQS), Flexible Payments Service (FPS), and SimpleDB to build web-scale business applications.
With AWS, Amazon offers a new paradigm for IT infrastructure: use what you need, as you need it, and pay as you go. Programming Amazon Web Services explains how you can access Amazon's open APIs to store and run applications, rather than spend precious time and resources building your own. With this book, you'll learn all the technical details you need to:
James Murty is a software developer with extensive experience creating web-based applications and architectures using Java. With a working background spanning a research institute, a small software house and various corporations he has a broad perspective on both the promise and the difficulties inherent in networked applications. Most recently James has been excited to see the rise of webapplications and services that provide compelling new tools and new ways of approaching old problems. While experimenting in this area he created JetS3t, an open source library and application suite that is the leading Java implementation available for Amazon's S3 data storageservice.

The animal on the cover of Programming Amazon Web Services: S3, EC2, SQS, FPS, and SimpleDB is an Atlantic wreckfish (Polyprion americanus). The wreckfish is a deepwater fish that dwells near the bottom of the ocean, where it lives a solitary life in caves and shipwrecks (hence, its common name).
So solitary is the wreckfish that it does not guard its eggs or young. Instead, it spends its time feeding on cephalopods, crustaceans, and other fish it finds near its habitat.
In restaurants and at seafood counters, many people know the wreckfish by another name--the sea bass--although it is just one of several types of fish sold under this name. Catching the wreckfish became popular in the mid-1980s, after fishers discovered a heavy population of wreckfish off the coast of South Carolina.
The fish soon proved to be too popular, however, as in the 1990s, its population declined. Today, deep-sea fisheries manage the population and distribution of thewreckfish so that its numbers remain stable and local habitat remains unharmed.

Comments about oreilly Programming Amazon Web Services:
I did not noticed that this was an old book when I purchased this. But possibly AWS changed too fast, many environments and examples changed and may not be working again. This is something you got to remember and adjust yourself. Whenever something did not work, try to match the version on the AWS with the one using as printed.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Informative Book, but Currently Outdated
By Programmer 1
from Undisclosed
I found this book to be informative and useful in developing my understanding of AWS. I really liked the organization of the material and the order in which the topics were laid out. The code examples were provided in Ruby, which was an extremely great decision on behalf of O'Reilly.My biggest complain about this book (and one which couldn't have been avoided at the time they wrote this book) is that it is currently outdated. Granted, everything the author wrote at the time the book was published was true about AWS. But several of his complaints have since been handled quite well by Amazon, and they are no longer problems. If you want to gain a broad understanding of AWS, I recommend buying this book. Just keep in mind that if the author says "Something like YYY can't be done with AWS" --chances are, it probably can now.

Santi Cazorla believes he is at the perfect age to make the most of his move to Arsenal - and is confident he can hit the ground running.
The 27-year-old has spent his entire career in Spain, but is excited about the challenge of testing himself in the Premier League.
Cazorla was named as the 2007 Spanish Player of the Year and hopes to replicate that form for his new club.
"This was the last train [for me] because I think that getting to a big club at the age of 27 it is an ideal moment," the Spain international told Arsenal Player.
"You still have loads to learn but quite a lot to offer. It is an important moment in my career. I think it is a perfect age and hopefully I will be able to make the most of this opportunity.
"One always dreams of playing for a big club and now I am going to have the chance to do so. Everyone has told me that I am going to see a difference from the clubs where I have played before and Arsenal.
"You feel this a big club by the way they behave and treat you, for the facilities and for everything around the Club. I am very lucky to have this chance."
Cazorla does not want to set any specific targets for the new season, but believes he will continue to improve in the Premier League.
"You always want to get better. I scored nine goals in La Liga last season, so I want to exceed that," he said.
"It is always positive to do that. But we'll see how the season goes. Hopefully I will be able to score a lot to help the team and have a good season. That is what we all want."

Create a Found Poem
Anyone can find poetry on a library shelf, but some see poetry wherever they look. When poets notice beautiful language in ordinary life, they sometimes turn the words into a special kind of poem called a found poem. Creating found poetry is a great exercise for kids to practice seeing the beauty, humor, and intellectual interest in ordinary, everyday language.
What You Need:
- Pair of old sunglasses or glasses frames
- Stickers
- Paint
- Glitter
- Glue
- Pen or pencil
- Notebook
- Sources of words, such as old newspapers, magazines, grocery lists, advertisements, homework assignments, outdated encyclopedias, and so on
What You Do:
- Make a pair of poetry glasses. Start with an old pair of sunglasses or empty glasses frames. Let your child decorate them with stickers, paint, glitter, glue, and any other art supplies you have handy.
- When the poetry glasses are finished, encourage him to put them on. They're there to remind him that he is trying to look at the world in a new way.
- Allow him to search for words to make into found poems. Advertisements, grocery lists, and old homework assignments are all good sources. However, it is best not to use words that are already stories or poems themselves.
- Any words that strike your child as beautiful, funny, or unusual can be used as poems. He may look for:
- Words that rhyme or sound alike
- Odd phrases that make up parts of sentences ("Mary Williams goes to Hollybroke Elementary School" could become "Holly broke elementary school.")
- Funny typos or grammatical errors
- Anything else that grabs his attention
- Have him write the words he finds into his notebook, adding a title, line breaks, and punctuation marks. If he wishes, he may use words from several sources or add words of his own.
- Take the time to discuss the differences between writing a found poem and making a poem up yourself. When he writes a found poem, the original writer is someone else (or several other people). Impress upon him that it's very important to record where he got the words he used. If the name of the original author is available, he should write it down. Otherwise, he could simply make note of the location(s) where he found his poem.

I made a small boo-boo yesterday, trying to put my second paint color onto the helmet. When I pulled the masking and electrical tape off my cheeks, the tape pulled off a stripe or two of the light green base paint. I think the main problem is that I did not let the paint cure long enough.
What are some suggestions for paint curing? Two days? A week in between coats? (I have 16 days until the local St Patty's Day parade!)
Or, better yet, is there something better to mask lines than electrical tape, that won't stick as bad?
I am using some of the paints mentioned by Lynn (thanks!) in an earlier post, and I have a coat of American Accents matte coat over the base paint.

Lsx swap worth it?
I currently have a 350 sbc in my 78 firebird but i'm seriously thinking about an lsx swap. The 5.3 motor. The car is getting restored and converted to a trans am, and i would hate to finish it and not be happy with it. It currently has a 350 backed by a th350 trans. It makes an honest 290hp, probably more. The thing is that it's going to be my daily driver and the gas mileage is terrible. I was also planning on doing some upgrades to the small block but when i priced it out i can do the ls swap for about the same price. My other thinking is that even if i do leave the sbc as it is vs doing the ls swap, i'd end up spending more on the 350 because of the fuel mileage. So i guess the ls would pay for itself in only a few months.
One thing i'm wondering is that i just picked up a muncie 4 speed and i'm pretty set on using it. Can i use it with the 5.3 ls?
People who have done the swap: What are the pros and con s(if any) that you have come across after the swap? Is the fuel mileage a big difference? How much did it end up costing you?
I guess I've kind of convinced myself that it would be good to do, but i just don't know if i want to do all that work and money.
Any opinions or experience would be really awesome.
There is a local shop here that wont even bother with the old engines unless you specify thats what you want.Their most popular swap is to install an LS-3 with hot cam(480 hp) and the 6 speed transmission. slight bump at idle very smooth power delivery,decent mileage,easy to service,excellent drive ability. you can build an old engine the same with roller cam,fuel injection etc,most people with old cars are using carbs and flat tappet cams and HEI,
contact him,ask him about his 70 ish nova that he raced against a porsche on a road race track.
Hes a typical business guy but they do great work and use the LS engines in a lot of cars,like his dads 53 studebaker
To clarify -- I do not have before and after experience with an LSx swap.
But, regarding the milage, I think you should uderstand that much of the difference you've heard about with LSx milage is a direct result of the fuel injection (which is for real) and the gears (which you could use with the old motor). In my wife's C5 Corvette, we get 27 to 30 MPG on the highway. But that's in Sixth gear, rolling along at about 70-75 MPH at only 1500-1600 RPM. The car is quite light, and certainly slippery. In the old (now gone) '69 Vette, we'd get 16 MPG, but were turning 3500 RPM at 70 MPH. Big difference. BTW -- The '69 also had more horsepower.
I'm not saying the engineering and engine management in the LSx motors doesn't have an impact, as I'm sure it does. But it's not the only reason for the extraordinary milage many of these cars produce.
Build a smooth running, mild street engine that produces torque all the way down to 1500 RPM, put a 0.50:1.00 ratio top gear in your transmission, and you can likely get north of 23 MPG too, on the highway with an old iron block 350 in your heavier Firebird.
EFI and gears do contribute a lot to mileage, an LT1 swap with the 4 speed OD trans would pick u pa lot of mileage over what you currently have.
BUT the LS engines are way above and beyond the gen 1 stuff- especially in stock form.
Take the 5.3L, swap it in and you'll instantly pick up power, mileage and driveability. Then down the road swap the cam, throw on some headers, swap to an LS6 intake and port the stock heads and install LS1 intake valves- you know have 450+ flywheel hp and STILL have better mileage than when you started.
There is nothing better about the old stuff than the new stuff.
I understand that the fuel injection is what makes the difference but from what research i've done it would take me almost twice as much money to get the same mileage and power out of my 350 as it would to just swap in the 5.3. It's either keep the 350 as it is or go ls.
So basically if i have the time and money there is no reason not to swap to the lsx engine. I guess i should add it to my plans then:thumbup:
you keep posting LS-X ther is an X in the series.Go with the 5.3 for economy.the LS-3 has enough everything in one package at 430 hp,a hot cam and minor tweeks is 480 hp
like I posted above,its the roller cam/fuel injection and ignition that makes it a nicer package. spending 12 k to save $100,oo worth of fuel is not good math.If you want it all in an old car the the LS line has a lot to offer.
Old engines can accept fuel injection,roller cams and better ignition. The cathedral heads do offer more potential. O/drive transmissions come in many varieties,but at a cost
One thing that worries me is the transmission. I've heard you can use the flywheel from a 4.8L 5 speed truck and then just bolt up the rest. Can anyone confirm this is correct? What about the clutch linkage, will it clear everything?
A few things..
1) your 78 firechicken is a tank.. over two tons is not unheard of..
2) your milage will be no better with that 4spd and the 78's rear gears..(my bet 2.73 or 2.43)
3) add up all the little things after the engine cost.. the clutch to work with the m-20/21/22, the flywheel, the motor mounts, the headers, the oil pan if the one on your 5.3 doesn't clear, the front dress, that may not clear the engine crossmember with out fab work.., ele fans if not already in use.. rewiring the car to limit electrical noise, (add many ground straps everywhere)
the lsx is a great engine, but you'd be better served spending the cash in other places,, like with 343 or 373 rear gears and a tremic 5 spd kit..
those years f body had tallish tires.. and the smog rear gears.. jive great highway milage, but around town.. not so much..
most times the lsx swap the a/c compressor and engine crossmember want the same realstate..
I looked into it for my 86SS, the 5.3's are cheap.. but it's all the little crap that adds up fast..
think you need to read up some..
the factory ecu will need a reflash, as the missing info from speed sensors/trans/gauges/ will send it into fits, = limp home mode..
fuel system.. unless you get a vette or newer lsIII with no return line.. you'll need that+ an intank pump, go price a efi tank..
cooling fans and wire'n
the clutch.. that might eat through your extra 5 bills alone..
the ls engine lack of a mount for the z bar, yes they make one.. thats an extra cost..
bellhousing to mount your m-20/21/22 to the lsx.. sit down when you price that...
good luck..
I'd stab a 96-02 g.m. truck/van vortec 350 in it 1999.oo(crate, less used) and get 350hp and 17c27hw mpg
the gains you think you will see, won't show up..
your 350 crapy mpg are from the 8 to 1 compression(guesing) and the drivetrain..
my 2002 truck got 28-30 hyway with a vortec 350
they run 9.4 to 1
you'll have to make your own z-bar
you'll have to make a fuel system
any clutch with the right spline count will work
and you can either get a computer programer, or skip the stock route and run MS
Those are costs you need to factor in, but they're not as much as people think.
1. vintage air has numerous brackets to choose from, and if none fit i have no problem fabricating my own.
2.The fuel system only requires a high pressure pump, doesn't have to be in-tank. All ls motors after 2003 were non-return style.
3. The bellhousing is the same one for an sbc. $40 doesnt seem like a bad price lol:D
The thing that does worry me is the z bar:pain:
Also i will need the ls1 intake and injectors because of hood clearance issues. But luckily they make adapters to use the ls1 injectors on the truck harness.

Take an adventure holiday in BOTSWANA with World Expeditions, one of the world's leading travel companies.
The landlocked nation of Botswana in southern Africa is bordered by South Africa to the south and southeast, Namibia to the west, Zambia to the north, and Zimbabwe to the northeast. Botswana is predominantly flat and is dominated by the Kalahari Desert which covers close to 70% of the land surface. The Okavango Delta found in the north west of the country is known as the world's largest inland delta. Botswana's diverse areas of wildlife habitat, including the Okavango Delta, the Kalahari Desert, savanna and grasslands makes it home to many mammals and birdlife.
World Expeditions Botswana safari adventures take advantage of the seemingly never ending kilometers of wetlands, channels, islands and lagoons found on the Okavango Delta. With our experienced local guides, we travel by mokoro (traditional canoes) and on foot, encountering wildlife as the Africans always have, without the barriers of vehicles. The skill and understanding of our guides ensures we have access to great wildlife experiences, without endangering the animals or ourselves. Keep a keen eye; we are on the look out for elephant, zebra, buffalo, wildebeest, hippo and kudu!
We have a fantastic range of safari holidays in Botswana to suit everyone. Choose from a variety of options that spend time wildlife spottiing in the Chobe National Parks or Moremi Game Reserve, include a mokoro dugout ride in the Okavango Delta, take in a visit to the mighty Victoria Falls or include an excursion to the stunning sand dunes in Namibia.

I have a sony A200 and lens as fitted as standard.
I have been given 2 x YASICA lenses 75-200 & 35-70.
My question is what do i require to fit the lenses to the sony camera or can it be done even.
I have had a look around but cant see anything that answers my question,i need some kind of converter i assume.
I know Minolta/sony are the same fittings etc so is there another make that has the same fitting as these yasica lenses i have so i can do another search.
As i have just started out this is the cheapest option at the moment to get me started then i can buy the proper item and sell these lenses.
Any help/advice or link towards what i require would be nice.
Thanks very much.

I don't know for certain about your lenses but i bought an adapter off ebay that allows me to use the M42 screw mount lenses off my old Zenit 35mm Slr's on my A200.
If you search on Ebay for "lens adapters" and narrow your search from there you might find what you need.
Hope you find what you need.
