The $100 burger is a concept of mythical dimensions in aviation. I had come across it many times on other people's blogs, but never had a chance to perform the ritual myself. During my PPL training I had a $800 sub once on a long cross-country solo, but no $100 burger. I'm happy to report that since last week-end this gap in my aviation culture is a thing of the past.
I had booked a Warrior for Saturday, and I didn't have too much trouble convincing my friends Ingo and Marcus to join the adventure. The plan was to fly out of Bankstown northbound, do a few orbits over Sydney Harbour, fly Victor One southbound and land at Wollongong to have a burger at the Aviator Lounge, and then fly back to Bankstown after lunch.
The $100 burger refers to the cost of flying somewhere away from the home base for the sole purpose of eating a burger, and then flying back. This is as good an excuse as any other one to go flying. Taken more broadly, it is the acknowledgment that real good reasons to go flying are scarce compared to how often we feel the itch, hence creativity and rationalisation are required.
Looking at the weather forecast on Friday evening I decided to postpone the flight till Sunday. There were quite a few things I was not too happy with, starting with the very strong westerly winds:
WIND:35 knots at 2000ft and 45 knots at 5000ft. With a cruise airspeed of 105 knots in the Warrior, this translates to a miserly 60 knots ground speed on the way back to Bankstown. Barely faster than the cars below on the M5. Strong winds aloft are surely a nuisance, but not necessarily a safety problem unless they come with turbulence. Which takes us to the next section of the area forecast:
2000 5000 7000 10000
250/35 250/45 250/50 260/55
Westerlies blowing over the ranges create this "occasionally severe" turbulence as the wind tumbles down the hills. This is particularly bad in Wollongong since the city is built in a natural amphitheatre with very sharp cliffs to the west, as can be seen in the picture above. This makes for dramatic views from the airport, but also dramatic aerodrome forecasts:
Wind at 25 knots with gusts up to 41 knots? And moderate to severe turbulence below 5000ft? I don't think so. I would be nervous taxiing in such conditions, let alone landing or taking off. Crosswind in these conditions is a major problem for the main 16/34 runway, and a smaller problem for runway 08/26. However, given my low time on this aircraft type, little of which includes crosswind landings, I wasn't keen to chance it. The decision to postpone was easy to take, and my passengers were more than happy to fly on a calmer day.
The forecast was for conditions to improve overnight, and Sunday was indeed a beautiful VFR flying day. All the Warriors were booked so we took VH-NRF, a Piper Archer instead.

We took off from Bankstown on 29R flew north to Patonga and then to Long Reef. Approaching Long Reef I requested a clearance for a Harbour Scenic One procedure, which was granted and led to dozens of glorious digital photographs being taken. I particularly like the photo of Barrenjoey Head below, with the left wing flap and the reflection of the sun over the top of the stabilator.
We exited Victor One then climbed and tracked south to Wollongong. I knew from other airplanes on the CTAF frequency that runway 34 was being used. I overflew the airfield anyway to have a look at the windsock. It seemed to point at the threshold of runway 16, but with very little wind in it I decided to do like everyone else and joined crosswind for 34.
My first circuit was really tight and of course I ended up too high on final. I thought about sideslipping my way down for an instant but decided against it, out of consideration for safety, comfort, and the eardrums of everyone onboard.
The second circuit was a lot better, mainly because I was following another airplane which seemed to know his way around the place. I extended downwind all the way to the hills south of the airfield, and when I turned final the picture in the windscreen looked much more normal than on my first attempt. Landing was good, although I held the nose up a bit too much and soon after the stall warning horn went off we fell onto the runway from an altitude of about one foot.
The burger and fries at the Aviator Lounge didn't disappoint, which is what you expect from a $14.50 burger really. It was fresh and delicious, and came with the obligatory two slices of beetroot.
After lunch we took off on 34. A Seminole was performing a GPS approach to Runway 16, which he discontinued early enough to not create a problem and he passed us on our right. Navigation back to Bankstown was performed using a bit of dead reckoning and a lot of navigation by reference to the ground: Cordeaux lake, then tracking to Menangle to meet the M5 and follow it northbound till we find the 2RN entry point for Bankstown airport.
We joined final for 11L and I performed what must have been my best landing so far in the Archer. During the flare I kept my eyes focused on the end of the runway, and the nose on the horizon. I didn't realise we were on the ground until I heard the wheel rotate. A real greaser of a landing, and captured on video to boot:
Total flying time 2.1 hours, plus landing taxes, lifejacket and headset hire, amounted to $458. Divided by three, and leaving the cost of the burger proper out of the equation, we get a $150 burger. Not a bad way to spend a Sunday.

This cake is dead easy, and does not take long to get ready. I used currants instead of sultanas because I had none in the house. Rum was also not to be found so I used vodka instead. Once the cake is ready and you open the oven door there is this most beautiful smell, a smell of the sweet baked banana…I then got my kettle to boil and finally got to use one of my beautiful mugs.
A big thank you to my lovely friend Clarice for the lovely pressie, and I so wished she were here, drinking tea with me and eating cake away.
50ml rum
4 large or 6 small bananas
6 tbsp golden syrup
75g butter softened
100g caster sugar
1 medium egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
175g self-raising
60g pecan, chopped
- Soak the sultanas in the rum for 30 minutes. Heat the oven to 160oC/ 140oC fan assisted oven. Grease a 23cm13cm loaf tin and line its base with baking paper. Peel and cut 2 bananas in half, and mash the rest of the bananas.Pour the golden syrup along the base of the tin and cover with the banana pieces.
- Beat the butter and sugar until pale and creamy – about 3 mins. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat a bit more. Add the mashed bananas using a metal spoon, followed by the flour, nuts and raisin.
- Spoon the mixture onto the bananas, being careful not to move the bananas at the bottom. Bake it for 45mins or until cooked through – test with a skewer.
- Remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10min so the syrup soaks into the cake. Only then turn onto a plate and serve with crème fraiche or yoghurt.

text: In the wake of her 2002 blockbuster debut, Norah Jones became an in-demand duet partner, popping up on albums from all manners of musicians. The 2010 compilation, …Featuring, helpfully rounds up 18 of these guest appearances, including a cut by the Jones-fronted country cabaret outfit the Little Willies, and what impresses is the range of collaborators and the consistency of the music. Anybody who called Norah up for a duet was clearly smitten by her way with slow-burning seduction, as they almost without fail cast her in that role for their own recordings, smoothing out rough edges or adding some sultry sophistication. This would seem like a limited specialty, but Featuring proves it's not. Jones sounds as comfortable trading verses with Willie Nelson and Ray Charles as she does acting as a counterpoint to Q-Tip and Outkast, providing alternating contrasts according to the setting; she freshens the veterans and provides a touch of timeless elegance to her modern rock peers. It may all be variations on a theme, but the sounds and songs change just enough for the music to be quietly absorbing. Better still, when these side shows are grouped together as a main attraction, they manage to sound of a piece. These may be songs that appeared on other artist's albums, but when presented as a collection, they seem to belong only to Norah Jones.

Laura's Home-Made Vinegar
Vinegar is such a commonly used ingredient in so many dishes that it needs no introduction. But I've learned that it's often the simplest products that we know the least about.
One of my husband's closest friends, Laura, makes wonderful jams and jellies. She recently gave us a delicious bottle of home-made vinegar, and I asked her for the recipe. Enjoy!
Yields: 1 bottle1 French Mother of Vinegar
1 bottle of wine
Place the French Mother of Vinegar in a plastic or ceramic crock with a lid that allows airflow while keeping out dust – eg, you can loosely attach a coffee filter over the mouth of the jar, or get a Chinese crock that has an airhole in the lid, which works perfectly and fill up with leftover wine of any kind.
It takes 1 month-4 months to turn to vinegar, depending on the size of the mother in relation to the wine, and how warm the crock is kept (at 70-80 degrees as in our sunny windowsill, it happens fast; at 50-60 degrees in our garage, it goes slowly).
Taste it for doneness and when it's ready, ladle or siphon off the vinegar and add more wine to the crock so the Mother can stay fed and healthy. To use the vinegar, you can use it straight from the crock, or filter it through a strainer or coffee filter to remove any particulate matter like a spot of dust or residue of the Mother that may be aesthetically annoying.
You need good French Mother of Vinegar (mere de vinaigre) to start get your vinegar started. You can buy it directly from Laura at www.domainebrix.com. Mother of Vinegar, also known as Acetobacter, is a bacteria that takes alcohol and air and makes vinegar.

text: So much for all of that Big East solidarity talk in the wake of Pitt's and Syracuse's departures. Here it is one month later, and word is out that the Mountaineers have "applied and are accepted" as members of the Big 12. Pete Thamel of the New York Times played it straight by adding this: "The only good news for the Big East is that the Big 12 planned to stay at 10 teams for now, the person said. That will spare the Big East any more critical losses and give it a chance to build into the 12-team model that it would prefer." Left scrambling to keep its space at the BCS trough, the Big East gets to sort through the service academies, Boise State, SMU, Central Florida, Temple, and Villanova.

After weeks of negotiations, there is a bipartisan plan to finance the government. The House is expected to vote on it tomorrow. The bill sets budget levels for two years. It also rolls back some of the across-the-board spending cuts known as the sequester, and it would reduce the deficit by $23 billion over a decade. NPR's Tamara Keith is gauging enthusiasm for the deal.
TAMARA KEITH, BYLINE: The thing to know about this deal is that it's a compromise. No one seems to be getting everything they wanted or, it seems, even all that much of what they wanted. And that's because the only way negotiators could get a deal was to focus on the things they agreed on. And there aren't that many of them.
STAN COLLENDER: It's barely better than nothing.
KEITH: Stan Collender is a senior partner at Qorvis Communications and tweets as The Budget Guy.
COLLENDER: Well, let's call this for what it is. I mean, this is a CYA kind of move for Congress. They didn't want to talk about government shutdowns anymore. They had constituents and companies back home that didn't like the automatic spending cuts, so they came up with a package of what some people would call gimmicks, what other people would call insignificant changes that, on a whole, over a 10-year basis looks like it saves some money.
KEITH: The budget bill is made up of a bunch of relatively small spending cuts and fee increases. It replaces many of the sequester cuts over the next two years with savings and revenue spread out over a decade. This covers everything from preventing prisoners from getting improper tax refunds to adding an extra 60 cents to a one-way airline ticket. That one is generating some heat from conservative Republicans like Tim Huelskamp from Kansas.
REPRESENTATIVE TIM HUELSKAMP: I'm sorry, raising fees is raising taxes. And raising spending is raising spending.
KEITH: Another significant source of savings in the bill comes from retirement benefits for federal workers and career military. New federal employees will have to make larger retirement contributions, and working-age military retirees will see their cost of living adjustments shrink. This will raise about $12 billion over a decade but it is a smaller hit than had been contemplated earlier in negotiations.
BRUCE MOYER: The immediate reaction was, whew, this could have been worse.
KEITH: Bruce Moyer is chair of the Federal-Postal Coalition, which represents five million employees and retirees.
MOYER: But the second reflection is federal employees are still getting hit once again.
KEITH: This is a small deal. It doesn't eliminate tax loopholes, as Democrats would have liked. And it doesn't address entitlement programs, as Republicans would have liked. The negotiators say it is a start, a first step to possible bipartisan cooperation to come. Matt Salmon is a Tea Party Republican from Arizona, and he isn't sold on that argument.
REPRESENTATIVE MATT SALMON: It's a baby step and it's a little tiny baby step. I think that we could have made maybe a toddler step.
KEITH: Salmon plans to vote against the deal, but figures a mix of Democrats and Republicans will support it.
SALMON: My prediction is it will probably end up passing, which to me - the saddest thing of all, really, is not that the cuts aren't significant enough, it's that we did virtually nothing on Social Security and Medicare.
KEITH: For Democrats, the lack of tax changes is a concern. And the bill also doesn't address unemployment insurance. Without congressional action, more than a million people will lose benefits at the end of this month. Many, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, had hoped an extension would be added to the deal.
REPRESENTATIVE NANCY PELOSI: It's absolutely unconscionable that we are - could possibly even consider leaving Washington, D.C. without extending those benefits.
KEITH: But, at the moment, with the clock ticking to Friday when the House intends to leave for the holidays, an extension appears unlikely. Tamara Keith, NPR News, the Capitol.

The Immaculate Invasion
Penguin Books, 2000 - History - 408 pages
Bob Shacochis has been praised as a 'stunning' writer who 'summons the spirits of America and the Third World' (New York Newsday). Now, he brings to his first major work of reportage the worldview and political vision that have earned him comparisons with Graham Greene and V. S. Naipaul. Here is his eyewitness account of the 1994 invasion and occupation of Haiti, of American soldiers deployed into a strange war zone, 'where there are no friends and no enemies, no front or rear, no victories and, likewise, no defeats, and no true endings.' From the Pentagon's war room to the bitter infighting in the dangerously divided U.S. embassy in Port-au-Prince and its on again/off again relationship with terrorists, Shacochis chronicles what the military calls OTW Operations - other than war. Most enduring, from his eighteen months in the field in Haiti where he lived with a team of Special Forces commandos, Shacochis brings us the stories of soldiers, their exploits and frustrations, their inner lives as well as their heroic deeds, as they struggle to bring democracy to a country ravaged by tyranny. Not since Michael Herr's Dispatches has an American author of this stature written such a ground-eye view of soldiering, as intimate and telling as Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried.

Nancy Ann(e?) (Troutman) Workman
(1826 - 1882)
There she is: my second great grandmother on my paternal grandmother's side! Ask me if I'm happy, go ahead:) This picture is my newest treasure!
I've always wondered what Dad's mother's grandmother looked like. I especially liked to think about it because Nancy was my Grandma's grandma. I was on Ancestry.com yesterday and noticed a new "shaking leaf" hint so I clicked on though to find this photo of her posted by user, "frostburgmd". Of course I recognize the user name immediately as a short form of Frostburg, Maryland, and the home to plenty of my ancestors. As a matter of fact, all the Troutman and Workman ancestors going back to just after the American Revolution lived down the hill and just a stone's throw from where Mom lives right now.
I could hardly wait to message that user, but first I saved the photo of Nancy to my files... and backed it all up.
Look at that dress and hat! Am thinking that this is a studio picture that must have been taken before 1882 when she died. My guess, and I'm never too good at this, is that she's what, maybe 40 years old. So 1860-something?
Her daughter was Moretta (Workman) Zeller (1859 - 1846), and here she is, below.
Moretta (Workman) Zeller
(1859 - 1946)
She looks all dressed up and quite stylish as well. Moretta's daughter was my dearly beloved Grandma Kelly, and here she is as a young girl in another great hat.
Helen (Zeller) Kelly
(1894- 1985)
So new-to-me Cousin Jack and I are all busy messaging back and forth, comparing notes and talking about maybe having lunch in the spring when I travel east again. We might even get my brother to take his big truck back up in the woods in search of the old Workman Family Cemetery! Yeah, that would be fun!

You must have heard about the phrase core training. However, it is vital to know what the core part of your body is to maximize core training exercises. The mid section of our body part is referred as the core and it includes all the parts of that area such as front, back, and side muscles. The transverse abdominis (TVA), oblique, erector spinae, and the lower lats fall in that core part. These muscles are the main stabilizer of the entire body and when these muscles get weakened, it can lead to various harmful diseases. Core training is all about those exercises which work to strengthen the core muscles so that our entire body is stabilized. Effects Of Core Training Core training is associated with ...Read More »

Former Darien finance member finds joy in sculpture
After spending 33 years in finance, Thomas Volpe wanted to stay busy during his retirement.
The 78-year-old Darien resident began by volunteering.
"A position opened up on the Darien Board of Finance, which I applied for, and was appointed to fill," said Volpe, who has lived in town for 38 years.
Volpe served 10 years with the Board of Finance, and also was on the Town Pension and Police Pension committees, deliberating on the new high school, Tokeneke Elementary School and the library.
But Volpe also wanted to try his hand at sculpting.
"When I retired, I also wanted to pursue my interest in art, something that I could never do while I was employed," he said.
Volpe found a sculpture studio
15 minutes north in New Canaan's Waveny Park. The studio, which is housed in the Carriage Barn Arts Center on the property, provides a second home for 20 other sculptors and instructors.
It was there that Volpe started working -- enthusiastically, he said -- and experimenting with various mediums in his sculptures.
"I started in water-based clay, then oil-based clay, carved marble and alabaster," Volpe said. "I made large plaster casts; a Greek-like torso and a 4-foot ballerina. I had four of my sculptures cast in bronze."
Volpe, who's had an artistic nature since childhood when he frequently sketched, didn't try his hand at sculpting until years before he retired. He bought a home sculpting kit that could be fired in the kitchen oven to try his first sculpture.
"I worked on it and worked on it," said Volpe, who was still employed as the vice president of tax affairs at Champion International Corp. "I had a real interest in sculpting and I had worked on it so long. When I finally got it done, I was so thrilled with it."
Volpe finished his sculpture of a baby one winter night and left the clay sculpture out to dry before firing it the next morning.
However, come morning, the sculpture had dried too quickly and pieces of it had fallen off and cracked.
"I just wasn't knowledgeable about how to protect (the sculpture) and let it dry slowly," Volpe said.
Volpe's time spent in the Carriage Barn isn't just a hobby. His work has been featured in shows in Connecticut and in Westchester County, N.Y., and he's won many blue ribbons for his work, though he doesn't sell it.
Volpe is not the only one in his Pasture Lane house with an eye for art. Cecilia, his wife of 28 years, is an acrylic and watercolor painter.
"Our house has become somewhat of an art gallery," Volpe said.
After he retired, Volpe again set to work on sculpting a baby in the arms of an adult figure.
"I wasn't very experienced, but it was coming along very good," Volpe said. "I had trouble making the features of the baby because they're all so different and round and their head is so big."
Nevertheless, Volpe entered the final product in a local show and came home with a prize, though he can't remember if it was second place or honorable mention.
"I had somebody once comment on it that it was so cute and that it looked like Winston Churchill," Volpe said with a laugh.
Volpe's second piece -- "Best Friends" -- was inspired by Victoria and Heather Volpe, of Monroe, his oldest granddaughters. The sculpture is of two young girls with their arms around each other. The older of the two girls has her arm behind her back with her hand slightly opened. When Volpe shows the piece at exhibits, he's sure to place fresh wildflowers in the open hand.
During the winter months, Volpe and his wife retreat to their Sarasota, Fla., home, but when he is home in Darien, he can be found at Waveny Park every Friday with fellow sculptors. The Volpes frequently visit museums and galleries to learn more about art.
The three-dimensional aspect of sculpture is what interests Volpe.
"I work a lot with my hands and I really feel like I'm creating a piece of art," Volpe said. "When you're all finished, it's almost alive."

Corpse Reviver #2 – Wow
As I sit here sipping what will likely be my last Corpse Reviver #2 for the week I'm still in shock about how great this cocktail truly is. I had heard a great deal of praise while researching on the web, but didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I have. I didn't even stray from the recipe I listed at the beginning of the week much. It really wasn't necessary this time. The results of these two weeks of cocktail enjoyment are nearly a full page of notes and I write damn tiny, so let me distill them down for you.
To start let's talk absinthe or a substitute if need be. Gary's recipe says to go easy and although I agree I think you can be pretty liberal in your application of a dash in this case. I tried everything from a very small dash (6 drops or so) all the way up to a full 1/4 oz. Although I did find the absinthe started to overpower the other flavors when you got up to 1/4 oz I still didn't find it unpleasant. Now in the spirit of full disclosure I will say that I am a black licorice fanatic and as such don't find the anise flavor at all off putting. After the numerous experiments I've landed on an amount that I prefer, 1 tsp. This gives the drink a nice absinthe note without making it the star of the show. If you're not a huge fan of the anise flavor try dropping the dose down to 1/2 tsp, but certainly don't get rid of it all together.
I found this drink, at least using Gary's recipe, to be nicely balanced and really quite incredible. In fact, my first tasting note when drinking the first CR #2 of the week was "Very fantastic cocktail!" The fruitiness of the Lillet (primarily citrus) plays exceedingly well with the Cointreau and lemon juice. I can certainly see this cocktail being a good morning bolster or hair of the dog, but I'll keep it in the evenings. I think my employer will prefer that as well.
There is, however, still the slight issue of bitterness that I touched on earlier this week. I solved this problem with orange bitters. I tried Regan's to start and found they worked well, adding a bitter note and some depth of flavor. However, the real winner in the bitters category for this cocktail are Angostura Orange Bitters which are absolutely fantastic in the CR #2. These added the amount of bitterness I was looking for and the orange flavor blends with the other ingredients really well. If you're interested in stocking up on orange bitters Kegworks.com offers a three pack that includes Angostura Orange, Regan's Orange and Fee Brothers' Orange bitters in one pack. I've found that all three are quite good but different enough that they have specific applications.
Last, but certainly not least, at least not in my house, is the choice of gin. As with most gin cocktails I spent most of my time mixing with Plymouth. This is certainly not a bad choice, never is in my opinion, but I think you can do better. The other flavors in this cocktail are strong and as such need a strong gin to compliment them. I'd go for something with a strong juniper character such as Juniper Green or even Gordon's. My favorite was a locally produced micro distilled gin that just recently came on the market, Roundhouse. This gin, which I'll be reviewing soon, is really strongly herbal in a fantastically good way. It has enough flavor of its own that it doesn't get lost in the CR #2 and adds a huge depth of flavor that I found really pleasing. If you can find a bottle, which is not likely outside of Boulder/Longmont right now, definitely give it a go.
My recipe for the CR #2 is almost identical to the one listed in The Joy of Mixology with the one twist that I call for the addition of bitters. There are however a ton of other recipes out there. Rick over at Kaiser Penguin mixed up some of the others and has his comments here.
Corpse Reviver #2 (CH Recipe)
3/4 oz Gin 3/4 oz Cointreau 3/4 oz Lillet Blanc 3/4 oz Lemon Juice 1 tsp Absinthe 3 dashes Angostura Orange Bitters
1) Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice. 2) Shake until thoroughly chilled. 3) Strain into a cocktail glass.
I'll leave you with the words of Harry Cradock himself, "Four of these taken in swift succession will unrevive the corpse again". Well said Harry, well said.

A University of Florida police officer who works with the football team has been put on leave after a police report wasn't initially filed on a citation issued to redshirt freshman offensive lineman Jessamen Dunker.
A University of Florida police officer who works with the football team has been put on leave after a police report wasn't initially filed on a citation issued to a football player.
The report involved redshirt freshman offensive lineman Jessamen Dunker, 19, using expletives last week in arguing with police about being cited for failing to wear a seat belt.
Lt. William Gainey, who coordinates security at football games and supervises the officer who issued the citation, has been put on leave pending an investigation.
UF Police Chief Linda Stump declined comment on the investigation but said the department investigates any allegations of wrongdoing.
"Even the appearance or perception that we have done something inappropriate, we're going to investigate it," she said.
The investigation involves the failure to file a report on Dunker's citation, according to a source with knowledge of the investigation. Gainey met with UF athletic association officials following the incident involving Dunker, the source said.
UF athletic association spokesman Steve McClain said the association asked for no special treatment from police.
"That's not how we do business," he said.
The report ended up being filed the day after the citation was issued and said Gainey told the officer to report the incident, so it's unclear what happened with the report initially.
Dunker was stopped on campus Nov. 14 when officers saw that he was driving without a seat belt, according to the report. An officer reported that he tapped on Dunker's window, leading Dunker to use an expletive in telling him to stop.
After Dunker rolled down the window, he again used an expletive in refusing to give his identification and his name, police reported.
The officer told Dunker he would be arrested to get his name and that the case would be forwarded to the student conduct office and his coaches notified, according to the report.
"I don't give a (expletive) about all that, it's over a (expletive) seatbelt ticket," Dunker responded, according to police.
Dunker again used an expletive after receiving the citation, the report said. McClain declined comment on whether Dunker was disciplined.
Dunker is a Boynton Beach native who enrolled at UF in January, according to the university athletic association. He was ranked the No. 4 offensive guard in the country by ESPN and named a Parade and Under Armour high school All-American.

Neo4j 2.0 GA – Graphs for Everyone
Play along
A shiny new tool for developers
A language for graphsWhat began as a convention for describing graphs in email has become a natural way to "think in graph" — Cypher, a graph query language. With Neo4j 2.0, we've discussed and considered, and argued our way to a more complete Cypher. It has even influenced the graph model itself.
Nodes can have labelsEarly on, it became apparent that we needed a way for Cypher to refer to subsets of nodes in a graph. So for the first time since 2002, we changed the graph model, adding the concept of a node label. Labels simply mark a node as belonging to a group. They're optional, and you can have as many labels on each node as you'd like.
Labels enable a little schema
Uniqueness constraints set expectations
Automatic Indexes
New Cypher clauses
Literal node patterns
Returning literal maps and collections
All the details
Join us for a special " What's new in Neo4j 2.0 " webinar.

hi,

Have you addressed the clustering(scaling) issues in this release ? last thing I read a while back was there were some problems with scaling, so what's the news with that ?
This comment has been removed by the author.
also a small tip please pick another blogging platform other than blogger commenting here was unpleasant experience, or at least use Disqus.
Hi Ismail,

We'll always be improving the ability to scale, perform, function, etc: in the never-ending quest to build an awesome database. You can expect Neo4j 2.0 to scale as impressively as its predecessors, as it builds upon prior releases, including a 1.9 release that was focused heavily on simplifying cluster administration.

More details on this can be found here:<
Great stuff! Can Michael Hunger shed some light on when spring-data-neo4j will follow?

Marie Claire is nothing new - it's been around since 1937, yet I can't even remember the last time I bought an issue - until now. This months Marie Claire (UK) is packed full of interesting content - my favourite fashion feature: The Denim Edit.
Buying Fashion Magazines are a bit of a treat for me nowadays, so when I pay €5-€6 for one magazine, I expect my money's worth. The front cover of a magazine may look amazing, but it's the inside that counts. (The freebies are of course, an added bonus.) After all, why buy when you can surf for free?
I am definitely going to buy next months Issue. But for now, I am going to appreciate this Issue and read about the New Rules Of Online Dating - God knows, I could do with some tips!
What magazine/s do you prefer to read?

There are woefully few heroes in politics today. But two have emerged in recent weeks from my home state of New York: Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
I've written before about heroic efforts by Bloomberg -- an independent who left the Republican Party and was a Democrat before seeking elective office -- to take on and clobber the National Rifle Association.
Now Cuomo -- the scion of a family that is as Democratic and progressive as they come -- has proposed a 10-point bill to codify women's rights in New York State.
His plan, like Bloomberg's, is highly controversial. It points a finger at many states that are moving right and eliminating women's rights, while his plan moves left.
While Cuomo talked about his Women's Equality Act at his State of the State address in January, he hasn't formally released a copy of the plan. According to the Gotham Gazette, a nonpartisan online news site covering the policies and politics affecting New York City, the act "would include measures to ensure women equal pay to men, tackle discrimination against women who are pregnant, strengthen laws against human trafficking and set a zero-tolerance policy for sexual harassment in the workplace.
"But," the Gotham Gazette continued, "what drew the greatest attention was Cuomo's proposal to strengthen women's rights to an abortion through the Reproductive Health Act. The bill, which has been sponsored by Senate Minority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins since 2007, would take a woman's right to an abortion out of New York's criminal code and make it part of health law, and also (would) allow for late-term abortions if a mother's health is in danger."
It takes incredible guts to stand up for women this way, though the governor walked back somewhat on his original plan after conservative and Republican Party outcries.
Except for several northeastern and West Coast states, including California, most have been moving in the opposite direction since the turn of the millennium. The Alan Guttmacher Institute late last year released a summary of what states have been doing on the abortion front from 2000 and 2011.
True, women's rights extend way beyond abortion rights. But abortion is still the signal issue that speaks volumes about where states stand on all issues affecting women. The institute took into account whether states had passed any laws affecting the right to choose. They tracked whether a state:
-- Mandated parental involvement before a minor's abortion;
-- Required pre-abortion counseling that is medically inaccurate or misleading;
-- Extended a waiting period, paired with a requirement that counseling be conducted in person, necessitating two trips to the facility;
--Mandated a non-medically indicated ultrasound before an abortion;
-- Prohibited Medicaid funding for an abortion except in cases of life endangerment, rape or incest;
-- Restricted abortion coverage in private health insurance plans;
-- Enacted medically inappropriate restrictions on providing medication abortion;
-- Placed on abortion facilities "onerous requirements" not related to patient safety;
-- Enacted unconstitutional bans on abortions before fetal viability or limitations on the circumstances under which an abortion can be performed after viability, and/or
-- Placed a preemptive ban on abortion outright in the event Roe v. Wade is overturned.
The findings are quite troubling to those who believe a woman should have control over her own reproductive functions.
A substantial number of states shifted from moderately anti-abortion to "overtly hostile," the Guttmacher Institute reports.
"In 2000, the country was almost evenly divided, with nearly a third of American women of reproductive age living in states solidly hostile to abortion rights, slightly more than a third in states supportive of abortion rights and close to a third in middle-ground states. By 2011, however, more than half of women of reproductive age lived in hostile states."
So nobody can say that Cuomo is standing up for an easy fix. In fact, New York pundits say he has no better than a 50-50 chance of succeeding -- winning passage of the act -- in his own state.
But at least he's out there fighting for something that polls show tens of millions of American women want.

Five months on from the Wall Street Journal spotting that Google was circumventing cookie privacy settings in Safari, the big G is now close to settling the matter with the FTC. There's one bitter pill that still remains to be swallowed, though: the WSJ reports that Google is set to pony up $22.5 million, the FTC's largest ever fine.
As a quick refresher, the original problem was a result of sneaky cookie tactics used by Google. In February, we wrote:
The WSJ explains how Google has developed code that installs cookies on a users' device-without their permission-from adverts contained in web pages. Once installed, however, those cookies have potentially allowed Google to track browsing across the majority of websites.
Research by the WSJ showed that the code was present in adverts on Fandango.com, Match.com, AOL.com, TMZ.com and UrbanDictionary.com, among others, and that it worked on both desktop and mobile versions of Safari...
The code in question stems from the development of Google+, being developed to skirt the way Safari blocked an original implementation of the "+1" button on third-party websites. Instead of directly using cookies, which Safari doesn't allow without user consent, the code made Safari think that a person was submitting an invisible form to Google. Sneaky. Then, Google had free reign to add cookies-and track a user's browsing-without the user ever knowing.
Now, Google and the FTC are close to reaching an agreed settlement figure, reports the Journal. While the final sum is still to be approved by FTC commissioners, both the FTC and Google have in theory agreed to a fine of $22.5 million. If that figure gets the go-ahead, it will be the biggest ever issued by the FTC.
But while $22.5 million sounds like a lot, it's worth noting that Google made that much in revenue every 5 hours last year. Just how much of a deterrent is that, then? [Wall Street Journal via Verge]

Topical retinoids
What are topical retinoids?
Topical retinoids are creams, lotions and gels containing one or other of group of medicines derived from Vitamin A. These compounds result in proliferation and reduced keratinisation of skin cells independent of their functions as a vitamin.
Many brand-name creams containing the retinoids retinol and retinaldehyde can be obtained over the counter at pharmacies and supermarkets.
The more potent topical retinoids available on prescription in New Zealand are:
- ReTrieve™ cream (tretinoin) – fully funded in New Zealand since 1 July 2010
- Retin-A™ Cream (tretinoin or retinoic acid)
- Retinova™ Cream (tretinoin emollient)
- Isotrex™ Gel (isotretinoin)
- Differin™ Gel, Cream (adapalene) – fully funded in New Zealand since 1 October 2010
Adapalene is also available to treat acne in combination with benzoyl peroxide, as Epiduo® gel.
The topical retinoid alitretinoin gel, used to treat Kaposi sarcoma, is not available in New Zealand (2013).
What are they used for?
Topical retinoids are effective treatments for mild to moderately severe acne. The effect is often noticeable within a few weeks, but it may take 6 weeks or longer before improvement occurs.
Tretinoin has also been shown to reverse some of the changes due to photo-aging, i.e. sun damage. If used long term, it may reduce some fine wrinkles, freckles, solar comedones (whiteheads and blackheads), and actinic keratoses (tender, dry sun-spots).
They may also be used in bleaching creams to reduce pigmentation in melasma.
Topical retinoids can be applied to any area but are most often used on the face, the neck and the back of hands.
Do they have any side effects?
Retinoids can irritate the skin, especially when they are first used. This is more likely in those with sensitive skin, resulting in stinging. Excessive use results in redness, swelling, peeling and blistering in treated areas. It may cause or aggravate eczema, particularly atopic dermatitis.
By peeling off the top layer of skin, they may increase the chance of sunburn. Irritation may also be aggravated by exposure to wind or cold, use of soaps and cleansers, astringents, peeling agents and certain cosmetics.
Some people have reported a flare of acne in the first few weeks of treatment. This usually settles with continued use.
Retinoids taken by mouth may cause birth deformities. Manufacturers recommend that topical retinoids are not used in pregnancy or breastfeeding as negative animal studies are not always predictive of human response.
Follow these instructions carefully:
- Be cautious if you are using other topical acne treatments – ask your doctor if you should stop these.
- Use your topical retinoid on alternate nights at first. If you have sensitive skin, wash it off after an hour or so. If it irritates, apply it less often. If it doesn't, try every night, and if possible twice daily. In most people, the skin gradually gets used to it.
- To reduce stinging, apply it to dry skin i.e. 30 minutes or longer after washing.
- Apply a tiny amount to all the areas affected, and spread it as far as it will go.
- Don't get it in your eyes or mouth.
- Apply a sunscreen to exposed skin in the morning.
- Wear your usual make-up if you wish, and use gentle cleansers and moisturisers as often as required.
- If you have acne, choose oil-free cosmetics.
- If your skin goes scarlet and peels dramatically even with cautious use, the retinoid may be unsuitable for your sensitive skin.
