A Texas man got more than he expected when a police officer pulled him over: a gesture of kindness.
Driver Hayden Carlo was pulled over in Plano, Texas, for an expired registration sticker on his car, according to Houston NBC affiliate KHOU. Carlo reportedly explained to the officer that he didn't have the money for the registration fee.
"I said, 'It was either feed my kids or get my registration done,'" Carlo, a 25-year-old father of two children, told CBSDFW.com.
When the police officer handed over the citation, Carlo found a $100 bill inside, according to KHOU. The Wylie man was then able to update his car registration, as well as the sticker on his wife's car.

"He helped me out when I needed it, and I appreciate that," Carlo told KHOU. "I'll never forget the man. It definitely restored my faith in God."
The officer does not want to be identified, Plano Police Department spokesperson David Tilley told NBC News on Monday. Tilley said the policeman's actions were "purely out of the goodness of his heart" and the officer told him that he felt the driver needed the money more than he did.

I can't think of a single pizzeria in recent memory that's opened with more buzz than Delancey in the Ballard neighborhood of
Naturally, such fervent expectations are eventually met with the inevitable smack of reality, and oftentimes it can be sobering just how spectacularly those assumptions of greatness have misfired. Praise the pizza gods then that this was not the case with Delancey.
I first visited Delancey a few weeks after it had opened with my siblings and a friend, arriving at the restaurant fifteen minutes before it opened. A line had already started to form at the door, so we took our places dutifully and watched as the tail behind us lengthened with each passing minute. Soon enough, though, the doors open, the smell of baking cookies drifted out, and we were ushered inside to a four-top possessing the distinct advantage of being located next to the restaurant's large street-facing windows, allowing much natural light to fall beautifully on our food.
We began with a salad of sweet corn, basil, and cherry tomatoes tossed in a shallot vinaigrette, which was clean and crisp and very fresh. Delancey offers a nice selection of beers on tap, though one we had wanted to try, the Chucanut Helles, had been tapped out the night before, and they had not yet procured a replacement. We chalked it up to First Month Syndrome and went with the tasty Hales Red Menace instead.
It wasn't long after we placed our order that our pizzas arrived (oh how I love the abbreviated cooking times in a blazing hot wood-fired oven!), steaming and giving off the irresistible scent of freshly baked bread. The sauce looked bright, the cheese gooey and inviting. We quickly tore into our fare and were not disappointed.
We split two pizzas that visit. The first was the Brooklyn ($12), a cheese-lover's go-to pie with the house tomato sauce topped with both fresh and aged mozzarella (a combo I always find impeccable for pizza), along with basil and grated Grana, a hard cheese from Italy that's very close to Parmigiano-Reggiano, salty and sharp (essential qualities in a cheese, I say).
This really was a great pie.
This crust tastes of sourdough and the terrific smokiness of burning wood, and to leave the cornicione uneaten is unthinkable. It's too good to leave behind on your plate, and I doubt very much you'll have any other notion than to finish each slice in its entirety.
Our second pie was the Pepperoni ($13.50), which is the
Rounding out our first trip to Delancey was the Bittersweet Chocolate Chip Cookie with Grey Salt ($3.50). At first glance this dessert appears to be just your ordinary average chocolate chip cookie that someone had spilled large-grained salt on, a prospect some might find confusing in theory. However, having sampled the unparalleled sea salt-enhanced butterscotch budino at Mozza in LA, I knew just how powerfully the addition of good salt can transform a dessert from the decent to the decadent. So I dove right in. The cookie, still warm, is soft, chewy, and thick, the bittersweet chocolate chips melting on your fingertips. On its own, it's a fine version of a standard chocolate chip cookie, but that sea salt...too good.
About a month or so later I hit Delancey again with nearly the same crew as before.
Of course I ordered it straight away. The Sausage Pie ($15) begins with the base of the
Having inexplicably skipped it during my first visit, I also ordered the house Margherita ($12). It's a first-class Margherita, on par with the best I've eaten in
We also tried the Zoe's Coppa this trip, a sort of antipasti plate with deliciously salty capicola sliced so thin you could read through it and house-made pickled peppers that were alternately spicy and sour, sweet and potent. This dish lasted about ten seconds before our party removed every trace of its existence from this world. It's a great little dish, but at $8 a tad on the pricy side. Mitigate the cost, as we did, by splitting it among several diners (and fight dearly for those pickled peppers).
In just a few short months Delancey has raised the bar for pizza in

Slain shoplifter's family sues Walmart
The family of a shoplifter who was shot and killed last December by an off-duty Harris County sheriff's deputy has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the sheriff's deputy and the security company that hired him.
Shelly Marie Frey was killed in the Dec. 6 shooting. The off-duty deputy, Louis Campbell, told investigators he feared for his safety when he shot into a car and struck her, saying the driver tried to run him over.
Herschel P. Cashin, an attorney for Frey's famiily, said the deputy's actions did not necessitate deadly force.
Frey, 27, and two friends entered the Walmart at 10411 North Freeway and allegedly stuffed merchandise into their purses, according to the lawsuit.
Store loss-prevention officers alerted Campbell and instructed him to detain the women. When he confronted them as they were leaving the store, one allegedly hit him with her purse and ran to the parking lot, the lawsuit states. Sheriff's office officials said that woman was Frey.
Campbell followed the women to a car, where Frey got into the passenger seat and the driver pulled away, according to the suit.
Campbell fired his weapon at least twice, striking Frey twice in the neck, according to the lawsuit. Cashin said two children were in the vehicle when Campbell fired.
According to sheriff's office reports at the time, when Campbell followed the women to the car, he opened the car door and ordered Frey to get out, but she refused.
The driver began to drive away while Campbell was standing between the open door and the driver's seat. She put the car in reverse and tried to run over the deputy, sheriff's office officials said. Campbell then fired.
Soon after, someone called 911 to report a woman with a gunshot wound was in a car in a parking lot of a nearby apartment complex. Frey was pronounced dead at the scene.
Dan Fogleman, a Walmart spokesman, said: "This was truly a sad turn of events for all involved. We never want to see a situation escalate to the point where anyone gets hurt. We are continuing to cooperate with authorities as they work to determine all of the facts about what took place."
The private security firm that employed Campbell did not return calls for comment. The Harris County Sheriff's Homicide Unit, the Office of the Inspector General and the Harris County District Attorney's Office are investigating.

Remember how that small group of F1 participants (just drivers, staff, team bosses and sponsors) were developing an elaborate system to avoid Max Mosley at Monaco? They were going to hire spies and scouts to follow his movements and make sure that when Mosley tried to find someone they'd have it so someone would say they had just left the place that someone else had said they had just been before. Basically, the Monaco Grand Prix was going to turn into one long Abbot & Costello routine. But then the FIA decided to strip Mosley of his official title, for the event, instead putting Mosley's Deputy in charge.
Mosley will still probably attend the actual race at Moncao, but in no official capacity. In fact, the Monaco Royal Family has pretty much made clear that they're happy with the idea of old Max keeping his distance from parties, paddocks and especially princes. This effectively means that Mosley won't be acting as the head of the FIA, though he still doesn't seem to be poised to resign. We guess that it's the whole stiff upper lip (and whatever else) thing going on. (h/t PhkMark) [F1 Live]

Yesterday marked the beginning of a new era of economic dystopia — at least, if the stock market is any guide. Former U.S. Federal Reserve chief Alan Greenspan called the current stock market freefall a once-in-a-century economic crisis. After the collapse of US investment bank Lehman Brothers, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell more than 500 points, its largest one-day point loss since the September 2001 terrorist attacks. And as U.S. citizens contemplate the collapsing housing market and the insane bailout of lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, things are starting to feel distinctly depressing — or should we say recessing? It's interesting to compare pictures of today's high-tech New York Stock Exchange — filled in this picture with panicked traders — with pictures of the lower-tech one in 1929, just days before the famous stock market crash that began the Great Depression.
Here you can see the same NYSE building, with its characteristic circular meeting areas, on a crowded day. Over the years, those circular trading areas have retained their shape, but become encrusted with monitors and computer terminals. Though there is a great deal of debate over what the exact forces were that caused the Great Depression, many facts are clear. On so-called Black Thursday, October 24, 1929, the news reported that the Dow Jones had plummeted 17% over the last month. Panicked, investors started bailing out of the market and traded a whopping 12.9 million shares that day, causing an even greater financial panic. The following week, on Monday and Tuesday, the market fell even further. 16.4 million shares were traded Tuesday, and by the end of that day the market had lost $14 billion in value. The week the stock market crashed, it is estimated that the market lost $30 billion in value, which was more than the U.S. spent in World War I. Like this week's stock crash, the 1929 crash was caused by panicked trading in response to bad news about the market.
While we can't say what exactly the future may hold for the market, and the global economy, history suggests that we're in for a long, slow recovery. The Great Depression lasted decades, and the market didn't reach its pre-Depression levels until the early 1950s. And yet the weird, selfish hopefulness of the stock market never dies. Here you can see a picture of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, currently being built by the Office of Metropolitan Architecture in China. This building, with its odd floating base, is a kind of parody of stock markets. Say the architects:
For millennia, the solid building stands on a solid base . . . Typically, the base anchors a structure and connects it emphatically to the ground.The essence of the stock market is speculation: it is based on capital, not gravity . . . [This suggests] an architectural invention: our project is a building with a floating base. As if it is lifted by the same speculative euphoria that drives the market, the former base has crept up the tower to become a floating platform.
As a great philosopher once said of capitalism: "All that is solid melts into air." That sounds beautiful until the solid thing turns out to be your house. Image of contemporary NYSE via STAN HONDA/AFP/Getty Images; image of Shenzhen stock exchange via OMA.

DENVER—It's the first of many Election Days in Colorado.
Voters began casting early ballots on Monday at locations across the state. They can also drop off mail-in ballots they received at home.
Politicians from both parties urge their supporters to vote early, before the polls close on the evening of Nov. 6. Their enthusiasm comes in part from the fact that early voters can then spend their time encouraging friends and neighbors to vote. Governor John Hickenlooper and other prominent supporters of President Obama urged voters to cast their ballots early at a Monday morning press conference in Denver. Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan made a similar pitch in Pueblo.

Foreign countries are looking to poach a few tech start-ups from Silicon Valley, according to a new report today.
A new billboard over U.S. 101 seems to illustrate this by baldly stating, "H-1B problems? Pivot to Canada. New Start-Up Visa, Low Taxes," according to the New York Times. H-1B refers to temporary U.S. visas given to skilled foreign workers. Canada's new "start-up visa" offers a possibility of permanent residency.
Canada, the home of BlackBerry, isn't the only country looking to find the next Mark Zuckerberg. Britain and Australia are also offering start-up visas and Chile is offering investment money if techies bring start-ups to Santiago. Despite all the perks, though, most workers want to stay in the Silicon Valley.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
"It's like being in Florence during the Renaissance," one Spanish computer programmer told the Times.
Currently, a bill is in the U.S. Senate that could create a new visa category for entrepreneurs with at least $100,000 in investment. The Times also points out that start-up visas are a political no-brainer because immigrants are more likely than native-born Americans to start a business.
Canada requires a year of college and 75,000 Canadian dollars from an approved Canadian investor or 200,000 from an approved Canadian venture capitalist for the visa. Applicants don't even have to speak English (or French) and don't need to bring any new jobs. The American version only grants three-year visas without an option for permanent residency.
Australia approves visas for those who secure 1 million Australian dollars from Australian venture capitalists. Britain needs 50,000 pounds from a backer, while Chile offers $40,000 in seed money.
At least one entrepreneur from India took advantage of the Chile offer, while also flying back to Silicon Valley for mentorship. He said he may take advantage of the Canadian visa simply because it's "shorter flight."
This seems to mean that tech developers still want to be close to Silicon Valley, but unless they get U.S. visas, they will likely take what's available and closest to the West Coast. That would mean Canada, and after a few years of long flights, many of those foreign entrepreneurs could eventually start their own hub in British Columbia or Alberta.

Medicine and the Humanities. Part III: Medical Heritage Library
Historian Charles Rosenberg once wrote that hospitals have "reproduced in microcosm the history of a larger society" (Charles Rosenberg, The Care of Strangers: the Rise of America's Hospital System. New York, NY Basic Books 1987, p.4).
At first glance, this observation might seem surprising, but its broad connotation is undeniable: health, illness, and medical attention touch everyone's lives and can have a decisive influence on human behavior, individually and collectively. Humanities scholars have recognized the central role of health and medicine in American and world history for several decades, but this is a field of research that remains very much in a state of growth and transformation. One manifestation of this is a recent increase in efforts to preserve and facilitate online access to rich collections of historical documents, images, and publications related to the history of medicine.
Over the next couple of weeks, we are profiling three major preservation and access projects funded through NEH's Humanities Collections and Reference Resources program that cover subject matter of national, and indeed international, scope and importance. Part I featured the University of Michigan's Center for the History of Medicine's effort to document systematically the deadly influenza outbreak of 1918-19, in part to understand how we may better prepare as a society for future outbreaks. Part II featured the University of Cincinnati's archive of Dr. Albert Sabin, the scientist who developed the oral polio vaccine that helped eradicate the disease, and Part III will feature a collaborative project involving some of the nation's leading medical libraries to digitize historical medical journals, including the first medical journal published in the United States, Medical Repository (1797-1824).
As these projects illustrate, the history of medicine bridges almost every domain of the humanities, from the study of philosophy and ethics to the examination of everyday social and cultural history. Far from being a narrow subfield of study, it opens a pathway for exploring some of the most fundamental questions of human experience over time.
Medical Heritage Library
Medical journals might not immediately leap to mind as exceptional humanities research sources. However, such items from past centuries, indeed, often prove to be compelling social documents. Take, for example, the Confederate States Medical and Surgical Journal, published in Richmond in 1864-65. Its expressed intent was "to lay the foundation of a Southern medical literature on a firm and enduring basis," on par with its well-established northern counterparts, such as the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal (forerunner of the New England Journal of Medicine). The publication is filled with reports on the progress of the war, depictions of wound treatment and surgical facilities, hospital reports, descriptions of the uses and supply of drugs, developments in prosthetics, discussions of disease outbreaks, and more.
Humanities scholars and others are fortunate that a number of prominent medical libraries in the United States and elsewhere have worked for many years to preserve an extraordinary corpus of medical periodicals spanning virtually the entirety of this nation's history. Those institutions have now banded together to ensure that the printed legacy of medical history is made easily available for all to discover and read. The resulting Medical Heritage Library (MHL) has rapidly become the leading online collection of historical publications pertaining to health and medical practice. Created in 2009, the MHL is the product of a consortium of the nation's premiere special collections in this subject area, including the Francis A. Countway Library of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, the Harvey Cushing/John Hay Whitney Medical Library at Yale University, the Augustus C. Long Health Sciences Library at Columbia University, the New York Public Library, the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, the Alan Mason Chesney Medical Archives at John Hopkins University, and the National Library of Medicine along with Great Britain's Wellcome Library. With initial support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the MHL has digitized some 33,000 monographs, pamphlets, and films contained in participating libraries.
A 2012 award from NEH to the MHL's coordinating entity, the Open Knowledge Commons, is supporting the digitization of approximately 1.7 million pages from 200 medical journals published between 1797 and 1923. The project will enable free online access to complete runs of the nation's earliest journals, housed in the medical libraries of Columbia, Harvard, and Yale Universities and The College of Physicians of Philadelphia. The National Library of Medicine and other MHL collaborators will assist by providing journal volumes that the primary participants do not hold.
The collection will span the dates 1797 to 1923, beginning with the nation's first medical journal, Medical Repository (1797-1824). This was a period of intensive research, discovery, and experimentation in all areas of medicine, spawning a wide array of specialized fields such as neurology, psychiatry, obstetrics, pediatrics, and medical jurisprudence. The journals also reflect the emergence of various alternative or sectarian medical practices during this time, including homeopathy and botanic medicine, as well as pseudoscientific pursuits such as phrenology and animal magnetism. Together, these sources offer a remarkable record of society's efforts to improve its wellbeing and longevity, providing abundant information on social questions and conditions pertaining to race, ethnicity, gender, religion, the economics of health care, the impact of global epidemics, evolving perceptions of diseases, and much more. The digital surrogates will be preserved and made freely available over the next two years on the Internet Archive and the Hathi Trust collaborative digital repository.

This one seems to work http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1906898094...#ht_500wt_1156
I started to setup up a system and bought it to try, keeps within 0.5 amp and goes from 0 - 30 amp.
Constant Current PWM's are easier to use and one with a digital display is very helpfull for dialling in your system. Here is a really nice one that can handle 40 amps with a digital display. 40 amps is really more than most aplications will ever need on pasenger cars or standard size pickup trucks.
I just installed the KZX1250 Pwm from Adi corp.The beauty of this one is it turns on automatically when it senses charging voltage when the engine is started.It also shows the output current.This way you eliminate the need for a control relay to energize/de-energize the cell.You also don't need a separate ammeter if you mount it inside the vehicle.Expensive,but worth the extra $$ IMHO.
Read entire thread with interest can anyone here make a better recommendation???
Found this on "aliexpress:: 10-50V 60A DC Motor Speed Control PWM HHO RC Controller 12V 24V 48V 3000W MAX
Have a 2.1kw battery based offgrid Outback solar system with a 60amp charge controller and am looking for a good 48 to 60V HHO PWM that can also handle 40 to 50 max amps??? Have been series connecting 3-4 HHO generators together in order to dial in 2 to 3v per plate, thus one large PWM would govern all? Want to separate and store hydrogen for days when solar supply exceeds demand.
The Outback FX Series Inverter/Charger has a great "Load Shed" feature that will automatically control, switch HHO generators on/off, based on overall supply/demand . . . Currently once batts attain "Absorb/Float" mode any extra solar power is wasted so goal is to store pure hydrogen once the details of separation and compression is worked out.
Am thinking would rather put a regulated pressure hydrogen bottle in auto trunk to supplement gas/diesel combustion akin to the CNG conversion systems currently installed on cars??
(ps: Am thinking 'pumped water pressure" to compress hydrogen? Picture a 1 1/2" to 2" pvc cylinder with two check valves, "in" & "out" on top, with two way water pressure applied to bottom?? Much like an air pump works but using water instead? Basic limitation to overcome is find most automatic pumps only handle up to 100psi.)

"For consider Him that endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds" (Hebrews 12:3).
Faith in Christ does not make one immune to spiritual weariness and faintness of mind. This condition may arise from frustration at our own natures, our inability to love God as we ought, to pray effectively, to understand the Scriptures or to bear fruit for Him. We may feel that our best efforts to represent God in our community have been of no avail, and very few show by their lives that our witness and ministry have been effective.
Sometimes we may question why God does not choose to favor all those who follow Him with material blessings and pleasant circumstances; but instead, at times, the wicked prosper. Looking at the tide of evil sweeping our world can leave us faint and weary.
But the answer to our dilemma is Christ! Reflection on Him will re-energize even the most discouraged saint, for He "endured such contradiction |or opposition| of sinners" (text), was victorious, and now promises to lead us to similar victory (see Hebrews 2:17-18; 4:15-16, for example). It will help us to persevere if we notice how He endured, "Who, when He was reviled, reviled not again" (I Peter 2:23), and that He endured it all, not just for Himself or just for His followers, but also for us, who, "when we were enemies |of Christ|, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son" (Romans 5:10).
The so-called "Hall of Fame of Faith" (Hebrews 11) immediately precedes our text. Reflection on the testimonies of those faithful and victorious warriors, coupled with our example of Christ, will make our greatest burden seem light and should spur us on to even more effective and sacrificial labor.

Irvine, Calif. – July 17, 2014 –Linksys®today announced its first managed switches in the Linksys Business product line-up to complement its portfolio of business networking products. With the latest addition, the Linksys Business line-up now includes a full range of cost effective routing, switching, VPN, wireless and IP surveillance solutions. The new Linksys managed switches are available in a 28 and 52-port rack mountable chassis, with and without Power over Ethernet Plus. Managed switches offer more advanced security and bandwidth control for IT administrators compared to smart and unmanaged switches, to ensure stability of the business network.
"We have a significant advantage because we have developed the entire Linksys Business product portfolio from scratch," said Steven Lin, director product management for Linksys Business products. "Therefore we have been able to include the latest technologies and features including Power over Ethernet Plus enabling businesses to power other or more devices on a the network through a single switch. Devices that require more power such as videophones and dual-band wireless access points can now also be powered by a switch with PoE+."
Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+)
The PoE+ models support the latest IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) standard and provide up to a 30W power budget per Ethernet port while offering IEEE 802.3af (PoE) backward compatibility. PoE+ simplifies and reduces complex technology deployments such as IP telephony, wireless AP, and IP surveillance by allowing IT administrators to connect and power devices over a single Ethernet cable at a lower cost.

Advanced QoS features enable per flow base quality of service control and rate limits to enforce SLA requirements.
Network Security
Linksys Managed Switches feature port authentication and MAC-based port security, requiring clients to authenticate themselves before any data is passed. Advanced DHCP snooping and IP-MAC-Port binding functions ensure network integrity and help prevent network attacks. These advanced features enable business to secure their network environment and prevent unauthorized access to the network and mission-critical data.
Network Expansion
Linksys Managed Switches include features for quickly expanding and growing your network. Multiple high-bandwidth trunks between switches enhance availability and redundancy. Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Storm Control features help control planned or inadvertent cable loops, so administrators can confidently build a mesh of switches and quickly expand their network to support the organizations growing workforce.

In a new post to his blog Jeremy Kendall has announced the launch of a new user group in the Memphis, Tennessee area providing a place for PHP developers in that area (the mid-south) to gather.
It's my pleasure to announce the formation of Memphis PHP, a PHP user group serving Memphis, TN and the mid-south. The goal of Memphis PHP is to grow and nurture an active PHP community in the local area. It's going to take a lot of work to get Memphis PHP off the ground, but having an active community of PHP developers in Memphis is long overdue. The hard work will be more than worth it, and I'm going to need your help to accomplish that goal.
He mentions some of the exposure to the PHP community via conferences and how it inspired him, especially a recent session, to start up a user group in his area. You can find out more about the group from their website - MemphisPHP.org but here's some of the basics: they'll meet on the 4th Thursday around 6:30pm and the first meeting will actually be a road trip to Nashville to meet the user group up there.

Jay Z – Death Of AutoTune
June 29, 2009
Finally the video is HERE!!!!
Jay-Z goes ARRRRRD on this… JHEEZE!
Kanye West & Louis Vutton Interview
June 29, 2009
How did your collaboration with Louis Vuitton come about?
I already knew and looked up to Marc Jacobs. Then Louis Vuitton called me and said they had this idea for me to do shoes. I was really excited about the opportunity. I don't know if they quite knew what they were getting into asking me to help create something!
How did you work with the teams from Louis Vuitton?
We'd fly out there. They'd have ideas. I'd have ideas and I'd start sketching. I just sketched every idea in my head, women's, men's, everything. In the end Louis Vuitton had to narrow it down because I had SO many ideas that I wanted to get out.
How many sneakers did you design?
Ten, but I would have done more.
What inspires you about Louis Vuitton?
They're the number one fashion house in the world!
What was your image of Louis Vuitton before you became so closely involved with the company, and have your impressions evolved in any way as a result of the collaboration?
They've always been my favourite aspirational brand from the day I bought my first wallet. Actually I used to dream of being able to buy their trunks and put them round my house.
Have your impressions evolved in any way as a result of the collaboration?
Hey, I just love the opportunity of being able to work with people who produce on a certain
Why sneakers? (I know you are supposed to own at least 400 pairs)
Because they're a great entry point for people who can't afford the trunk, you know.
Also, sneakers, I think, are a way of displaying where you are mentally.
What, for you, makes a great pair of sneakers?
Comfort of course, but also the way they work with different outfits…
What sneakers are you wearing now?
The white boat shoes.
What was your inspiration for this collection?
I was inspired a lot by the movie Dune—remember those big padded collars they wore? Well I did that padded look as a flap at the back.….
So the accent is at the back of the shoe rather than at the front in the 'tongue' ?
How did you choose the colors?
The grey brown and fuschia combination in the Tour model is very much a concept I have for clothing. That juxtaposition of soft and electric palette is something I don't see too often. The exception being Marc Jacobs who has touched on that combination with bags.
Which products are your personal favourites?
The grey boat shoes with pink sole.
And what socks would you wear with those?
Well, that's interesting. I wanted to make a tube sock with an LV patch on the side to go with them.
How would you define your style?
An expression of what I'm feeling today.
Do you feel you've got your look 'down' perfectly?
Actually I'm constantly trying to learn what looks good on me. It's kinda hard. It takes a while to really get it, to figure out your style. Most people I know who dress 'A Plus' are 35 and older.
Who is an exception to that rule?
The singer, Rihanna, who is 21. She's kind of like a genius because regardless of how many stylists she has, I know she does it on her own. That's an innate talent, having style like that. It's kind of like the way people play sport, some people just hit the shoots into the net better. Yeah. Fashion is a sport in a way.
Are you a fashion genius?
I don't think I've reached genius level yet. It's good. But its not good enough for me. I want to be better.
So you're saying style-wise, you're a perfectionist?
It's not so much about perfectionism as creativity and needing to constantly evolve.
Do you remember when you first became interested in fashion?
In Kindergarten. I really thought about what I was going to put on every morning.
Who are your fashion icons?
Michael Jackson is the best dressed person of all time. Not today, I can't say that, but in his hey day. When he was wearing all those jackets covered in Swarovski crystals. And then all those leather jackets and Mickey Mouse t-shirts and those tailored pants and penny loafers. Michael Jackson, he was for real.
What is your best fashion memory?
Getting dressed up to play. If I played football I wanted to put on the whole football outfit. If I wanted to play cops and robbers I had to put on the full cops and robbers outfit. I loved costumes.
What is your favourite item in your wardrobe?
My vintage Levi's jeans jacket. It's the perfect, perfect jacket. Someone told me it was really, really good because it's got the big 'E' on the label, which means it's from a certain year.
What are you wearing right now?
A Schott jacket. It had silver zippers but I had them put plastic ones instead. An old jacket with plastic zippers, it's a kind of Japanese toy vibe thing.
What do you think is different about French and American attitudes to fashion?
Well, I notice if you're in the 'hood' in Paris, you dress in a hoodie like they do back home. I love that, that the look is straight out of America. Because it wasn't always thatway.
How do you find the ideas for your music?
I get inspired by concepts, theories, philosophies.
Give me an example.
The saying 'What Does Not Kill Me Makes Me Stronger' was an inspiration for the song
That's from the philosopher Frederick Neitzche!
If you hadn't been a successful Music artist, what would you have liked to be?
An author, maybe. Although I have already written a book.
What is it called?
Thank You And You're Welcome.
What's it about?
It's basically a manual to show you how to make every part of your life into a 'thank you and you're welcome' moment. People say it's a little like the book The Secret.
Give me one piece of advice from the book?
Well, my axiom 'Get used to being used'. People have such negative connotations about the word 'Use'. To use is necessary. If you can't use or be used you're useless. It's like, You use me? Yeah, well I'm glad to be of use.
Who has been the biggest influence on your career?
Me! Meaning my mistakes, I've learnt so much from them!
Oh, so you admit you make mistakes! You have a reputation for having a pretty high opinion of yourself…
It's true I am super confident and delusionally egotistical but believe me, I have conflicts with myself at night; like, damn, will I be able to make stuff that I like; will I be able to make stuff which will make an impact on the world?
What projects are you working on at present?
I'm in the middle of doing a video with Jared Leto and his band 30 Seconds To Mars. I'm doing a video with the photographer Stephen Klein called 'Say You Will'. I'm also shooting a video with the director Spike Jonze. Oh and this morning I worked on the video for my song Robocop. My girlfriend got her whole body moulded in prosthetics so she could play a Barbie doll in it. They made the exact shape of her breasts, but with no nipples, just like Barbie…..
How would you describe the experience of Paris / France?
Y'know, when I first went to Paris I used to HATE it. Now it's one of my favourite cities in the world. I compare Paris to a girl that you meet at a bar who is very rude to you, who you end up falling in love with.
What do you like most about the city?
I like the heritage, the attitude. The vibe I get from Parisiens is highly educated, highly cultured and very impatient. And I'm into that. Paris forces you to step up your game. It forces you NOT to be ignorant about things.
What do you like least?
Nothing. I like it so much I may move there. They used to say if you could make it in New York you could make it anywhere. Well, if you can make it in Paris you can ANNIHILATE the world.
Are you a tough person to work for?
In the beginning I didn't know how to get respect in a civil manner. I didn't know you didn't have to scream and jump up and down. I don't have to be like that now.
Where is your office?
For me, the world is my office.
How do you take criticism? There are plenty of people, I notice, who like to criticize you on your blog, kanyewestunivercity.com.
Well, you have to figure out why people say those things. Like, were they having a bad day or something? Actually, I think it's kind of fabulous, people saying stuff like Kanye, you're a faggot, or Kanye, he doesn't take himself too seriously. That's a great blog comment! Because of course I'm taking myself WAY too seriously.
Greatest world leader?
If you could label your style what would it be?
Ah, that's the thing. Everyone wants to put people in supermarket aisles! The thing is when you do that with people, they just all kind of crash into each other while walking down them. It's like when I first started making music in high school people couldn't really describe how I dressed until the worked hip hop was invented. Then they were OK about it. I guess you could say I wear a lot of cultural coats, but I'm more than any label anyone puts on me.
Still. What's it like being such a fashion icon? Kids of eleven want to dress like you…
Well, you do have this ability, when you are famous, to set trends just by being photographed and that's really not fair. I shouldn't get any more credit than the next person for, say, bringing back those Linda Farrow flying shades, I just happened to be wearing the aviators that to me were the most 'normal'. That doesn't make me a fashion icon though. People who have TERRIBLE style have the ability to set trends.
How do you deal with your fame?
I deal with it by realizing I'm kind of confined in my walking TV show. Sometimes I feel like I'm an animal at the zoo, with everybody the other side of the glass wanting to see the monkey overreact. It's a little like being in a cell, but what's good about living in a cell is I have cellmates. Jay-Z, he's definitely in my cellblock.
You seem pretty sanguine about your celebrity, and the effect celebrity has had on you. Are you happy?
I'm at war with myself. I know I am in danger of cannibalizing myself, of talking about myself to death. My whole life for the past five years has been all about me.
So what now?
Well, there's nothing more I could do with my life right now than to make it about helping other people.
What are your goals, then?
If it's the last thing I do, I want to drop all the bravado that most urban rap artists carry. I want to make new good stuff and not brag about it. Just to do it. One of the other things I'm going to do is to take my next fee—I charge at least $100,000 a verse—and donate it to my charity (the Dr Donda West foundation he started up with his late mother to combat high school drop out rates).
In what aspect do you consider yourself Number One?
Actually, I don't think I'm number one at anything…except for learning.
So the ability to learn is excellence for you?
I think so. You can never stop learning. Like my grandfather who is 90 and just took a painting class.
If you were marooned on a desert island, which one piece of music and one work of literature would you want to keep?
Could I take another person?
I'd bring my girl (at time of print Amber Rose) or a girl who, hopefully, wouldn't drive me crazy.
What would be your one item of luxury?
My Louis Vuitton sneaker boots, of course.
How many hours do you sleep per night?
What's you favourite dessert?
The sticky toffee pudding at the Landmark Hotel in London.
Greatest world leader so far?
What star sign are you?
Me too!
Yeah? That's dope.
Lethal B flippin' on Jammer! Jheeze!

Once again, London is at the forefront of the drama
June 26, 2009
It was only a couple of hours ago that G and I were talking about how long it would take for the world to blame London and the upcoming concert ahead for the untimely death of this man.
A post-mortem examination was being held today amid claims that Jackson, the greatest pop star of his generation, may have taken an overdose of painkillers before his comeback concerts, due to start in London on 13 July.
Family lawyer Brian Oxman today blamed "enablers" for pushing Jackson too hard physically in preparation for the 50 shows.
He said: "This was something which I feared and something which I warned about. This is a case of abuse of medication, unless there is another cause that I don't know about.
"This family has been trying for months and months and months to take care of Michael Jackson. The people surrounding him have been enabling him. If you think the case of Anna Nicole Smith [the model who died from an overdose] was abuse then that is nothing in comparison to what we have been seeing in Michael Jackson's life. Where there is smoke there is fire."
Jackson's personal physician —thought to be Dr Tohme Tohme — was with him when he collapsed shortly after noon (8pm UK time).
What do you think about this whole thing? It's still qute unbelievable that this has happened. The whole world is in pandemonium…

If you backup a file to the original storage device, you do not have a backup, just another copy of the data file on the main hard disk of the computer. If the computer were to crash or hard drive fail, that so-called backup file would be lost along with the other files on the computer. A backup is not really a backup unless it resides on a storage device that is not the original computer. So, for example, you would need to tell the program to make the backup on an external hard drive, a CD or DVD, a flash drive or some online storage account.
The irony of this situation is that the programs, including PAF, provide a preferences selection to indicate to the program where you would like your backup to be made. As long as you have an external hard drive or some other similar device attached to your computer, you can choose to have backups go to the external hard drive.
Particularly with PAF, there is another problem. The so-called backup is a compressed file. Commonly, PAF, in the last versions released, used Windows Zip or WinZip to create this compressed file. Frequently, people come to me to try to recover their old PAF files from a floppy disk or other media and we find out that the file is really a backup. The problem of restoring a file from an old floppy disk is further compounded by trying to find a program that will un-zip or decompress the file. This becomes a bigger problem because I am usually trying to solve this issue at the Mesa FamilySearch Library where the computers are not loaded with utility programs. There will come a day when these old PAF files will not be able to be resurrected.
Now we are back to the original issue, moving files from folder to folder and from device to device. With today's graphic interfaces, it is common to just tell people to "drag the file icon from the original folder to a folder on the target device." Unfortunately, with the proliferation of programs and devices, such as tablet computers, these instructions are not really useful. For example, if I want to keep a copy of my database on my smartphone or tablet, I may have to go through a series of specific steps to transfer a file from my desktop computer to the selected device and these steps may be different for each type of program and/or device you are using.
The genesis of this issue as a problem lies in the inability of computer users to visualize the reality of their files and realize that moving a file is very similar to moving a physical object. You actually have to move the data from one device or folder to another. This can be done by copying the file using series of commands or by dragging an icon of the file onto another icon representing the external device or folder. How this process occurs depends on the operating system you are using. There is no simple solution, you have to learn how to perform this process on your computer, using your operating system and your genealogical files. You may have to have someone help you until you learn how the process is done.
The impact of not learning how to backup your files or more fundamentally, how to move them from folder to folder or from device to device can have very serious consequences. You may lose your data entered into the program entirely.
Here are a YouTube video on the subject:

"I have now shopped at the Rancho Bernardo store 4 times and have purchased 4 pairs of shoes and one pair of slippers. What a terrific experience. The clerks I have dealt with have been very helpful and pleasant with NO pressure at all. I have a bone spur on my heel and my podiatrist recommended I wear shoes with a 1 inch heel. I am retired and have been wearing flat shoes and had gotten so I could hardly walk as the pain was so bad. I am thrilled with the selection of shoes carried at Footwear, etc. I had expected that I would not find many that looked stylish and was I ever wrong. So many that it was difficult to choose. Good shoes (good arch support) are worth every penny. I no longer have pain in my heel and can do a lot of walking that would have been impossible before."

"Heroes" and "Law & Order" may not be coming back for the 2010 fall season, but they may not be entirely dead yet.
Both series could have special events in store to wrap up the shows, NBC President of Primetime Entertainment Angela Bromstad said on a conference call on Sunday, a day before the network's upfront presentation.
"We're still discussing with [producer] Dick [Wolf] a way of wrapping up the series," she said of "Law & Order," which will conclude this month after 20 seasons.
As for why it ended, she explained that the network was taking on new spin-off, "Law & Order: LA," and wanted to focus on the brand's future.
"We've been talking to Dick Wolf about 'LOLA' for several months now and we all knew the mothership was coming to an end at some point," she said. "What we felt, it was time to move forward — it's about the future, reinventing the brand and the overall health of the 'Law & Order' franchise."
Meanwhile, "Heroes" may also have another chance to head into action.
"We felt we had satisfied the viewers with the show," Bromstad said. "We are having a conversation about a two-hour event movie. It could potentially air some time next year."

The ways may vary, but the goal is one. Don't you see that there are many roads to the Kaaba? For some the road is from Rum, for some from Syria, others come from Persia or China or by sea from India and Yemen. So if you consider the roads, they are beyond counting, with infinite differences. But when you consider the goal they are all in accord with one desire.
The hearts of all are upon the Kaaba. The hearts are one in their longing and love for the Kaaba, and in that there is no room for separation. That love is neither belief nor non-belief, for it has nothing to do with the various roads. Once we arrive, this argument and war and those differences in the roads – this woman saying to that man, "You are false, you are an infidel," and that man saying the same about her – once we arrive at the Kaaba, we realize that such fighting is over the roads only, and that the goal of all is the same.
For instance, a bowl's spirit is in love with its maker, and is a slave to those hands that fashion it. Yet some see this bowl and say it should be placed just as it is on the table. Some say the inside of it should be washed first, some say the outside of it must be cleaned. Some say all of it, some say it must never be washed at all. The diversity of opinion comes from the bowl's many uses, but as to the fact that the bowl certainly had a creator who fashioned it, and that it did not come into existence of itself, on this all agree.

Horoscopes: week beginning January 27
ARIES: On a social level, January 29-31 is an active and vibrant time for Arians. This is also a good time to plan each step towards the achievement of a goal. Your schedules are crowded. Be wary about provoking people who are more powerful and influential than you during January 31 to February 4 as the enmities aroused will force you on a path you'd rather avoid.
TAURUS: January 29-31 is a busy time for Taureans, when you'll be performing a juggling act. This is a time when career matters, children, romance and money are all important. January 31 to February 4 is problematic as unwanted ideas may well be forced upon you. It will also feel as if others don't want to listen to you either. Beware of alienating a friend.
GEMINI: There's bound to be some contact from someone at a distance during January 29-31. Paperwork in connection with travel, education, advertising and law also figure in activities. Situations force Gemini to revise their financial position as issues with loans, taxation, insurance, superannuation, partner's income, or joint income place pressure on you.
CANCER: There's likely to be some communication over a financial matter during January 29-31, probably in connection with loans, taxation, insurance or refunds. Money will be exchanging hands. Conflict, between career pathways and partnerships, manifests in Cancerian lives during January 31 to February 4, making it necessary to devise a plan that will help you surmount obstacles.
LEO: During January 29-31 there is more communication with your business partner and spouse. Money, ethics, goals and friendships form part of the focus of discussion. Powerful influences shape your working life during January 31 to February 4, with important changes being unavoidable. Similarly, responsibilities are being reshaped within the home, especially if you work from home.
VIRGO: Work or a health matter will preoccupy many Virgoan natives during January 29-31. There is much that can be achieved with planning and personal effort. Obsessive and compulsive trends will be playing with Virgoan emotions during January 31 to February 4, with you are in initiator or recipient. Children and romance provide the setting for this scenario.
LIBRA: Children, grandchildren or a romantic interest will be on the minds of many Librans during January 29-31. Vacation or travel plans are in the wind for some.

SCORPIO: January 29-31 is a busy time on the domestic front with re-organisation, a move or family involvement filling your schedules. Financial aspects are under consideration. It's time to review your schedules and plans whether you like it or not. There may be some difficulties in reaching an agreement or organising these changes during January 31 to February 4.
SAGITTARIUS: January 29-31 is one of those times when the phone never stops ringing and the letters pile high. It would be handy to have a secretary to take care of all that you need to do. Financial pressure contributes to Sagittarian difficulties during January 31 to February 4. You may be tempted to take a gamble on these matters but it is unlikely to work out then.
CAPRICORN: Money should be flowing around you during January 29-31 because of your own industrious efforts. There could also be expenses related to communication, travel, education, law or advertising. Situations and things in your life are clearly set to change, with January 31 to February 4 promoting these events rather forcefully. You are determined to make your dreams a reality happen then.
AQUARIUS: There is much for Aquarian individuals to personally accomplish in structured routines during January 29-31, but you are allowed a scope of creativity in your actions. Difficulties in managing personal problems seem to manifest during January 31 to February 4. These are not insurmountable and you are likely to feel thwarted by those in authority.
PISCES: There are a few concerns plaguing Piscean individuals during January 29-31, most likely with domestic, property or family matters, or business or marital relationships. Pisces will be pushing hard to realise their dreams during January 31 to February 4 but need to ensure they maintain a good standard of ethical conduct. Even so, you may alienate some associates.

Ford in November: Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ Sales Explode
Ford reported a total of 190,449 car and truck sales in November. While that's a 7 percent year-over-year increase and Ford's best November result since 2009, it's not necessarily a banner month in an otherwise impressive year for the automaker.
Though the 190,449-unit figure trumps Chrysler's November totals by roughly 48,000 units but falls short of GM's November figures by 21,000, it's Ford's fourth worst monthly sales total in 2013, besting only its January, February, and September sales totals. Month to month, sales dipped ten percent from October. Nonetheless, there were plenty of strong sales results
Winner: Ford F-Series, 65,501 sales, up 16.3 percent
November was the seventh month in a row that Ford F-Series sales topped the 60,000 mark, and it means year-to-date sales of the F-Series are up 19.5 percent over the same period in 2012. That success comes even in the face of competition from redesigned Ram and General Motors pickup trucks. Ram tallied just 29,376 truck sales last month, while the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra managed a combined 48,748.
Winner: Ford Fusion, 22,839 sales, up 51.0 percent
Ford now builds the Fusion sedan in Michigan, as well as Mexico, allowing it to considerably boost production capacity. This strategy seems to have paid off, as sales of the Ford Fusion exploded last month -- in fact, it was the Fusion's best-ever November sales result. The Ford Fusion has proven especially popular in California, where sales are up 101 percent year-over-year. Sadly, Ford seems to have sold as many Fusions as it can for the moment. Reports indicate the Michigan factory will be temporarily idled to reduce the inventory backlog of unsold Fusions.
Winner: Ford Flex, 2125 sales, up 28.9 percent
It may not have scored highly in terms of overall volume, but the unloved Ford Flex three-row crossover posted one of Ford's biggest year-over-year sales gains in November. That comes even as the Flex struggles overall this year, with sales down 9.5 percent in the first 11 months of 2013.
Winner: Ford Fiesta, 4642 sales, up 25.9 percent
A refresh for the 2014 model year -- as well as the launch of the sporty Fiesta ST -- appears to have jumpstarted sales of the small Ford. While its monthly sales figures remain modest, the Ford Fiesta posted a sales gain (and is up 30.2 percent year-to-date) while the larger Ford Focus saw sales tumble 16.8 percent in November and 1.9 percent through the entire year.
Winner: Lincoln MKZ, 2854 sales, up 113.8 percent
It's no secret that sales of the all-new Lincoln MKZ got off to a slow start, but the luxury sedan is picking up steam and has become Lincoln's best-selling car. Even so, the Lincoln MKZ tallied fewer sales last month than models like the Ford Expedition and Mustang. It remains to be seen whether MKZ sales will continue to climb past their current mark.
Loser: Ford Taurus, 4400 sales, down 14.4 percent
The long-in-the-tooth Ford Taurus saw its sales fall last month, even though overall this year the Taurus has enjoyed a 7.4-percent sales increase versus the first 11 months of 2012. Still, the full-size sedan's monthly sales are just one-fifth of the Fusion's, possibly indicating that customers are drawn to the higher fuel economy, better technology, and fresher design of Ford's midsizer.
Mixed: Lincoln Brand, 6727 sales, up 17.4 percent
Although Lincoln sales are still so slow that the entire luxury division was outsold by the Ford Edge crossover, in general the brand's sales are picking up. Healthy acceptance of the aforementioned MKZ is the main motivator for any sales increase, as sales of the MKS sedan, MKX crossover, and MKT all fall last month. Only the MKZ and Navigator posted sales gains.Source: Ford

Call to clear hurdles to a longer working life
The retirement age for judges and the military could be lifted under a suite of proposals designed to keep Australians working - and paying taxes - for longer.
And the op shop lady could in future be classified as a ''worker'', rather than a volunteer, so as to be entitled to workers' compensation if she slipped over in the store.
The proposals are among a suite suggested in a discussion paper released yesterday by the Australian Law Reform Commission for comment. Age Discrimination Commissioner Susan Ryan said volunteers not being covered by workers' compensation entitlements hit small or not-for-profit organisations, which often relied on older volunteers to exist, hardest. ''With the insurance required, it's often either too difficult or two expensive to get volunteers, and some organisations that rely on volunteers say that they can't get them because they can't pay for them,'' she said.
The federal government commissioned the discussion paper, saying urgent work needed to be done to remove Commonwealth barriers to older people finding work and staying in the workforce.
It expects that by 2044-45 one in four Australians will be aged 65 or older - up from 14 per cent reported in the 2011 census - and has tasked the commission with finding ways to keep ageing Australians in the workforce, and off the aged pension.
The commission suggested forcing employers to give workers aged 45 and older four weeks' notice if their work was being terminated, up from one week in some cases. And it said the government should consider reviewing the mandatory retirement age for the judiciary and military. Currently, the compulsory retirement age for Australian Defence Force personnel is 60 years and 65 years for reservists.
Judges are forced to retire at 70, but Ms Ryan - who served as a part-time commissioner on the panel - said changing this could be difficult, as the retirement age was written into the constitution.
She said discrimination remained built into superannuation law, which did not allow workers aged 75 and older to voluntarily top up their super, nor their employers to gain tax benefits from contributing more than the mandatory amount.
Council on the Ageing national policy manager Jo Root said the proposals were ''in the right direction'', particularly those designed to remove impediments to older people planning their financial security.
The ALRC is seeking submissions on the discussion paper by November 23, and will report to the government by March 31, 2013.

The problem
While working on a side project I was confronted with the problem of serving a JSON object to potentially tens of thousands of users representing the state of the app (think you are following the results of an election live and you want data to be updated every second).
The web service is really simple, it grabs the payload from the data store (disk/Redis/Mongo), uploads it every second, and serves the content accordingly.
Initially I implemented this using Python and Flask, I must admit that I didn't try too hard to get the data in an async fashion since it wasn't obvious how to do this with Flask. Using twisted could have been a better choice.
Initially I attempted to use Varnish as a front-line HTTP cache with promising results, however using HTTPS became a requirement pretty soon (due to CORS policies) so I had to discard Varnish rather quickly.
Go's bare HTTP server performance
However I took the opportuninty to teach myself Go which I knew it had pretty good support for concurrent operations and that the Google guys already have a success story serving static data with it. Boy have I been surprised.
Take the simplest form of an HTTP server that serves a common JSON payload for all the requests:
Gist link
Note that it reads the data just once from a json file in the disk. No updates every second, for the sake of showing how well Go can do as a static HTTP server, these are the performance results using httpress on my ThinkPad T430s (i7-3520M 2.90GHz/8GB of RAM):
$ ./httpress -n 100000 -c 1000 -t 6 -k http://localhost:8080
TOTALS: 1000 connect, 100000 requests, 100000 success, 0 fail, 1000 (1000) real concurrency
TRAFFIC: 4195 avg bytes, 109 avg overhead, 419532658 bytes, 10900000 overhead
TIMING: 3.752 seconds, 26646 rps, 112007 kbps, 37.5 ms avg req time
That's 26646 request per second with 1000 concurrent keep-alive connections in 6 parallel threads without doing anything special, I must say that I'm impressed that the Go developers have put so much effort in their built-in HTTP server implementation.
Go's HTTPS performance
Now that Go started to look as a viable option, let's see how it behaves as a HTTPS server. Here's the link to the modifications to turn the previous example into an HTTPS service, note that you have to generate the certificates.
TOTALS: 1000 connect, 100000 requests, 99862 success, 138 fail, 862 (862) real concurrency
TRAFFIC: 3994 avg bytes, 109 avg overhead, 398848828 bytes, 10884958 overhead
TIMING: 22.621 seconds, 4414 rps, 17688 kbps, 226.5 ms avg req time
Damn you secure webs! That's a big downgrade in performance… 4k rps now. This made me realize that this new security scheme for cross site content implemented in browsers is going to kill a lot of trees. At this point I wanted to investigate further for possibilities boost this up.
Revisiting the front-line cache idea: Cherokee
My suspicion is that the TLS handling inside Go's net/http has some chances to be improved, but I didn't want to get my hands dirty there, so I started to think about off-the-shelf alternatives.
I stumbled upon Cherokee's front-line cache by reverse HTTP feature which is really easy to setup thanks to the cherokee-admin interface. This means that I run my original plain HTTP Go implementation as-is behind Cherokee so that it handles the TLS by itself.
These are the results:
TOTALS: 1523 connect, 100000 requests, 99511 success, 489 fail, 1000 (981) real concurrency
TRAFFIC: 8635 avg bytes, 142 avg overhead, 859277485 bytes, 14131208 overhead
TIMING: 12.975 seconds, 7669 rps, 65735 kbps, 130.4 ms avg req time
There's quite an improvement in latency, though the requests per second improvement while worth the while is not as big as I would have expected.
And these are my findings so far, I want to try to configure Cherokee so that it only talks to the backend server once every second and cache the requests that way, haven't figured that out yet.
As per my experience with Go, it has been mostly pleasant, it's nice to have a mix of low level and high level features in the language, though it has some things that are quite confusing for a C/Python/Vala guy like myself. Eventually I will post some notes about the synchronization primitives I've used in the implementation of the service that gets the data from Redis every second.
