7 More Days
This is my scrappy cabin that I started way back in March 2008. Originally I was going to make all of these fit together in some way without sashing, but since each block is a different size, it was more than I wanted to tackle right now. I decided to use the leftover linen from Jon's graduation quilt to set these blocks.
So I made another 15 blocks and made this top. There isn't any color theme to the blocks...they're simply scrappy. I think a scrappy binding would look cute with this top. One more top added to the list of quilts to be quilted around here. I have 10 tops hanging in the closet...waiting. I have some basting to do and more backs to make.
There is one quilt that is sooooo close to a finish. Remember this quilt? It's the 'Wonderland Garden' quilt...the one I'm making to donate for the church raffle. I have this big roll of binding to hand sew on to the back and then a label to make.
Here's a peek. Stay tuned for the big reveal and find out how YOU might WIN this quilt. The ladies of the church have given me permission to open up the raffle to my blog friends.

You hand sew on all the binding or just the one side??

Your projects are all so pretty. The color combinations are exqusitely chosen and all your work looks very professional. I've got some projects done as part of "Spring to Finish". Not a lot, but things that I needed to do but stalled for one reason or another. I have one more in progress that is challenging me, but I hope to have it done by the end of the month.

I love your scrappy log cabins quilt! The linen is a wonderful counterpoint to all the crazy scrappiness - it calms it all down. The quilt looks so elegant with the linen.
You're doing so well on all your finishes. I can't believe how much you get done! - April 24, 2009 at 2:15 AM

oooohhhh oh!! we can win that quilt!? i LOVE that quilt, since the first time i saw it on your blog. i keep thinking about doing something in red and aqua - they're my two favorite colors.
my QOV quilt top won't count? i have to rely on someone else to do the quilting before i can bind it and i doubt she'll send it back before the end of the month. :(
either way, i'm scrambling to finish a couple more things. a 7 day reminder is good, but awful. - April 24, 2009 at 7:43 AM
- Stephanie D said...
No finishes yet, but I'm loving looking at yours and others' finishes.
Does that count? lol - April 24, 2009 at 7:54 AM

I love both quilts. I am trying to make a red and aqua quilt, too, so I'm soooo drawn to that one, but the scrappy one looks so fun and fresh.

I love red and aqua! I wanted to join the Spring to Finish but I don't have any unfinished tops. As a complete hand sewer, I force myself to finish one quilt at a time. I can't race through a top!
- April 24, 2009 at 11:29 AM
You are pretty impressive sticking with this. I'm so good at making the tops and moving on, the quilting never gets done. Someday I'll learn to free motion...
- April 24, 2009 at 12:00 PM
- Dionne said...
This has been a great challenge for me! I've finished three quilts already, done-done and I'm hoping to finish one more top ~ that one is going to the long-arm, so I'm counting it as done as well, because I'm done with it until it returns for enjoyment!
Thanks for hosting this challenge. It's fun to finish and fun to post pictures!

Valentine's Day: Cheap Or Free Gifts Options
Who's idea was it to have Valentine's Day a month and a half after the holiday season? Not only is it stressful to think of planning another occasion for a loved one, but it's more money that needs to be spent. To help try to alleviate the pressure of having to buy another pricey gift, we surveyed people to get their ideal Valentine's Day gift – and they are all cheap or free. Check out some of the suggestions.
Make A Coupon Book
There are several different ways to do coupon books, and they can be for a boyfriend/girlfriend, spouse, friend, or child. Coupon examples: IOUs for massages, home-cooked meals, cleaning, taking out the trash, etc. Promise to pay for the next date-night, a promise to let your spouse control the remote, a day of no complaining, doing your kids chores for the day, a boys-night-out, etc.
Plan a Romantic Picnic
For Valentine's Day, it's the thought that counts. A fun option is to turn something simple, like a picnic, into a romantic moment. Add flowers, rose petals, candles, etc. to take it to the next level. You can also do this for activities like hikes, a stroll on the beach, or a camping getaway.
Scavenger Hunt
Even if you have something simple planned, add suspense to it by making your spouse work to get to the end result. It's free, and it's creative and memorable. A scavenger hunt is also a great way to keep kids entertained.
Stay At Home
Make a regular occurrence extra special by adding a romantic touch to it. One listener suggests that instead of just a night in the house, take it up a notch. "Surprise the loved one with rose petals or tea lite candles leading to a bubble bath with candles lit, their favorite music playing, and their favorite champagne/wine poured.. followed by a home-cooked meal and/or a full body massage – the ladies love it."
The Gift Of Time
As one person surveyed said, "The gift of time! I would love for someone to gift me with some get out jail free cards for grocery shopping, filling up the gas tank, etc! Or even just saying, 'I got the kid, go take a nap.'" Another adds, " Please…just let me sleep in."
A Jar of Love
This one requires planning ahead of time, but a great option is to get a mason jar, and for an entire year, write something you love about your spouse (even on the days when they drive you crazy). Put them in the jar, decorate the jar nicely, and give it to them. Another version of this is to journal about your loved one for a few weeks, a year, etc. and then give them the journal on a special occasion. Take it up a notch by adding receipts, tickets stubs, photos, and sentimental items to it.
Get Out Your Tools
Fix something that your significant other has been complaining about. Or use your DIY skills to upgrade a part of the house that needs TLC. If its something easy or low-maintenance, it's cheaper for you to try it over hiring professional help.
"Just clean the house, I'm sick of doing it," another person wrote. Short, simple, and to the point.

She applied the "Page 99 Test" to her new book, Masters of Uncertainty: Weather Forecasters and the Quest for Ground Truth, and reported the following:
Masters of Uncertainty passed the test and the test passed Masters of Uncertainty. I was delighted (and somewhat relieved) to discover that page 99 can well serve as a benchmark of sorts for the book, in the sense that it nicely encapsulates how forecasters at the National Weather Service (NWS) endeavor to tackle meteorological ambiguity and uncertainty.Learn more about Masters of Uncertainty and read an excerpt from the book at The University of Chicago Press website.
Right at the top of the page, I was greeted by the following passage:It is precisely this visceral need to achieve an optimal gestalt, or "maximum grip" (Merleau-Ponty 1962, Dreyfus 1992), on the atmosphere that in practice compels NWS forecasters to oscillate between different ways of viewing the weather. Cast in this light, their habit of leaving their workstations to study the weather outside becomes central to understanding how they impose order out of the disparate and ambiguous fragments of information at their disposal.The text next launches into a series of thickly described episodes from the field, so as to illustrate the "countless, indeed daily, instances where a forecaster would leave his workstation with the express purpose of checking on the weather outside, fully aware that a colleague had just been outside for the very same reason."
The weather outside is forecasters' passion and it is their nemesis. It remains forever elusive—too complex to be reconstituted and studied under controlled conditions inside, too dynamic to be perfectly predicted. To prevail over meteorological uncertainty and produce accurate and actionable weather predictions, NWS forecasters cannot afford to simply rely on the standard set of highly sophisticated information delivered to them on their computer screens. In practice, they harness a widely disparate assortment of meteorological cues to fashion a provisionally coherent representation of the future. Masters of Uncertainty takes the reader through firsthand accounts of several forecasting episodes to flesh out the dilemmas and challenges of creating weather predictions come rain or come shine. In the process, it advances a theory of decision making that foregrounds the practical and situated nature of expert cognition and casts new light on how we make decisions in the digital age.

Warning: Mac OS 10.9 Mavericks and R Don't Play Nicely
Want to share your content on R-bloggers? click here if you have a blog, or here if you don't.
For some reason I was compelled to update my Mac's OS and R on the same day. (I know…) It didn't go well on several accounts and I mostly blame Apple. Here are the details.
- I updated R to version 3.0.2 "Frisbee Sailing"
- I updated my OS to 10.9 "Mavericks"
When I went to use R things were going fine until I mistyped a command. Rather than giving some sort of syntax error, R responded with,
> *** caught segfault *** > address 0x7c0, cause 'memory not mapped' > > Possible actions: > 1: abort (with core dump, if enabled) > 2: normal R exit > 3: exit R without saving workspace > 4: exit R saving workspace > Selection:
Unlike most of my experiences with computing, this I was able to replicate many times. After a day of panic and no luck on Google, I was finally able to find a post on one of the Google Groups from Simon Urbanek responding to someone with a similar problem. He points out that there are a couple of solutions, one of which is to wait until Apple gets things stabilized. (This is an issue since if you have ever tried to go back to a previous OS on a Mac, you will know that this might take several days of pain and swearing.)
The second solution he suggests is to install the nightly build or rebuild the GUI. To install the nightly build visit the R for Mac OS X Developer's page. Or, in Terminal issue the following commands,
svn co https://svn.r-project.org/R-packages/trunk/Mac-GUI cd Mac-GUI xcodebuild -configuration Debug open build/Debug/R.app
I tried both and this worked fine…until I needed to load a package. Then I was given an error that the package couldn't be found. Now I realize that you can download the packages you need from source and compile them yourself, but I was trying to figure out how to deal with students who were in a similar situation. (This is not an option for most social science students.)
The best solution it turned out is to use RStudio, which my students pretty much all use anyway. (My problem is that I am a Sublime Text 2 user.) This allowed the newest version of R to run on the new Mac OS. But, as is pointed out on the RStudio blog,
As a result of a problem between Mavericks and the user interface toolkit underlying RStudio (Qt) the RStudio IDE is very slow in painting and user interactions when running under Mavericks.
I re-downloaded the latest stable release of the R GUI about an hour ago, and so far it seems to be working fine with Mavericks (no abort message yet), so this whole post may be moot.

Although the purely philosophical aspects of L. Ron Hubbard's work are sufficient in themselves to elevate this civilization, only auditing provides a precise path by which any individual may walk an exact route to higher states of spiritual awareness.
The goal of auditing is to restore beingness and ability. This is accomplished by (1) helping the individual rid himself of any spiritual disabilities and (2) increasing individual abilities. Obviously, both are necessary for an individual to achieve his full spiritual potential. Auditing can be ministered to a group (such as at a Scientology Sunday service), by a person on his own using certain Scientology books and materials and one-to-one.
Through auditing one is able to look at his own existence and improve his ability to confront what he is and where he is. Vast differences exist between the technology of auditing, a religious practice, and other practices. Auditing does not use hypnosis, trance techniques or drugs. The person being audited is completely aware of everything that happens. Auditing is precise, thoroughly codified and has exact procedures.

How does this medication work? What will it do for me?
Eletriptan belongs to the class of medications known as 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor agonists. Eletriptan is used to treat migraine headaches with or without aura (warning signs that occur before the migraine headache begins) in adults. It is not used to prevent migraine headaches or to treat any other type of migraine headache including hemiplegic (one side of the head only), ophthalmoplegic (affecting the eye area only), or basilar (at the bottom of the head only) migraine.
Migraine headaches are thought to be caused by the dilation (widening) of the blood vessels in the head. Eletriptan works by causing the blood vessels of the head to constrict. For most people, eletriptan eliminates or reduces the symptoms of migraine attacks including headache, nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Most people notice an effect within 2 hours after taking the medication.
This medication may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of this medication may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of this medication may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.
Your doctor may have suggested this medication for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking this medication, speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor.
Do not give this medication to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take this medication if their doctor has not prescribed it.
What form(s) does this medication come in?
20 mg
Each orange, round, convex, film-coated tablet, plain on one side and the other side embossed with "20", contains 24.23 of eletriptan hydrobromide equivalent to 20 mg eletriptan. Nonmedicinal ingredients: croscarmellose sodium, FD & C Yellow No 6, FCF Aluminum lake, lactose monohydrate, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, titanium dioxide, polyvinyl alcohol, macrogol and talc.
40 mg
Each orange, round, convex, film-coated tablet, plain on one side and the other side embossed with "40", contains 48.46 mg of eletriptan hydrobromide equivalent to 40 mg eletriptan. Nonmedicinal ingredients: croscarmellose sodium, FD & C Yellow No 6, FCF Aluminum lake, lactose monohydrate, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, titanium dioxide, polyvinyl alcohol, macrogol and talc.
How should I use this medication?
The recommended adult dose of eletriptan is one 20 mg or 40 mg tablet taken at the first sign of a migraine headache. If your headache improves but returns after an initial dose of 20 mg, an additional 20 mg dose may be taken but no sooner than 2 hours after the first dose.
If the initial dose of 20 mg is not effective at all, a second dose will not likely be helpful. If the initial dose is 40 mg, a second dose is not recommended. The maximum dose of eletriptan is 40 mg per day. If you need to treat more than 3 headaches in a 30-day period, talk with your doctor.
Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not crush, chew, or split the tablets.
Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.
It is important that this medication be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
Store this medication at room temperature, protect from heat, light, and moisture, and keep it out of reach of children.
Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
Who should NOT take this medication?
Do not take this medication if you:
- are allergic to eletriptan or any ingredients of the medication
- have a history of heart attack or silent heart ischemia
- have angina pectoris (chest pain) and Prinzmetal angina (coronary artery vasospasm)
- have cerebrovascular (e.g., stroke or transient ischemic attacks [TIAs]) or peripheral vascular syndromes (e.g., ischemic bowel disease, Raynaud's syndrome)
- have certain types of migraine headaches (e.g., basilar, hemiplegic, or ophthalmoplegic)
- have heart disease or a history of heart disease (e.g., heart valve disease, ischemic heart disease, congenital heart disease, abnormal heart rhythms)
- have high blood pressure that is severe or uncontrolled
- have severe liver disease
- have taken any of the following drugs in the past 72 hours: clarithromycin, itraconazole, ketoconazole, nelfinavir, or ritonavir
- have taken ergotamine-containing or ergot-type medications (such as dihydroergotamine or methysergide) or another 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor agonist (e.g., almotriptan, naratriptan, rizatriptan, sumatriptan, zolmitriptan) in the past 24 hours

Some people may experience side effects other than those listed. Check with your doctor if you notice any symptom that worries you while you are taking this medication.
Are there any other precautions or warnings for this medication?
Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use this medication.
Blood pressure: Eletriptan may increase blood pressure. If you have uncontrolled high blood pressure, do not take eletriptan.
Drowsiness/reduced alertness: Eletriptan may cause dizziness or drowsiness affecting your ability to safely drive or operate machinery. Avoid these and other hazardous tasks until you have determined how this medication affects you.
Headache type: Eletriptan should only be used where there is a clear diagnosis of migraine headache.
Heart and blood vessel problems: This medication can cause serious heart and blood vessel problems, including heart attack, stroke, and extremely high blood pressure that requires emergency treatment. If you have heart disease or a history of heart disease, do not take eletriptan (see "Who should not take this medication?" above). Talk to your doctor if you have any concerns.
It is strongly recommended that you not use eletriptan if you are at risk for, but have not been diagnosed with, heart disease, unless an examination shows that you do not have heart disease. People at risk for heart disease include those with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, or a strong family history of heart disease; people who smoke or are obese; women in early or natural menopause; and men over 40 years old. If you belong to one of these groups of people, your doctor may also recommend regular heart checkups while you are taking this medication.
Kidney disease: If you have decreased kidney function, doses of more than 20 mg of eletriptan daily should be avoided, as this medication may cause severe increases in blood pressure.
Liver disease: Liver disease or reduced liver function may cause this medication to build up in the body, causing side effects. If you have reduced liver function, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed. Your doctor may want to test your liver function regularly with blood tests while you are taking this medication. If you have severely reduced liver function, do not use eletriptan.
Medication overuse headaches: As with other pain relief medications, overuse of eletriptan may lead to medication overuse headaches, or "rebound headaches," where the headache returns as the medication wears off. Avoid taking more of this medication than is recommended by your doctor. If you experience more frequent headaches, contact your doctor as soon as possible.
Seizures: There have been rare reports of seizures experienced by people taking this medication. Most of these people had a previous history of epilepsy or medical conditions that increase the risk of seizures. If you have a history of epilepsy or any condition that increases your risk of seizure, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Serotonin syndrome: This medication may cause a rare but potentially life-threatening condition called serotonin syndrome, especially when used with other medications that increase serotonin levels (e.g., fluoxetine, paroxetine, venlafaxine). Get immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms such as:
- agitation
- confusion
- diarrhea
- hallucinations
- fast heart rate
- fever
- increased body temperature
- lack of coordination
- overactive reflexes
- nausea
- vomiting
Pregnancy: This medication should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while taking this medication, contact your doctor immediately.

If the court has made a definitive ruling on the record admitting or excluding evidence, either at or before trial, a party need not renew an objection or offer of proof to preserve a claim of error for appeal.
The judge shall take special care to protect a witness under age 14 from questions that are in a form that cannot reasonably be understood by a person of the age and understanding of the witness, and shall take special care to restrict the unnecessary repetition of questions.
concerning a person's birth, adoption, marriage, divorce, death, relationship by blood, adoption, or marriage, ancestry, or other similar fact of personal or family history.
However, a declarant is not unavailable as a witness if such exemption, refusal, claim of lack of memory, inability to be present, or absence is due to the procurement or wrongdoing of the party who is the proponent of his or her statement in preventing the witness from attending or testifying.

Six-Month Offer, Discounted Computers and Free Digital Literacy Training for Eligible Families
Comcast today announced it will include up to six months of complimentary service for any new family that has not yet applied for Internet Essentials. Families who are approved for Internet Essentials between August 4th and September 20th, 2014 will receive up to six months of Internet service. Since 2011, Comcast's innovative broadband adoption program has connected more than 350,000 families, or about 1.4 million low-income Americans, to the power of the Internet. The program is available in 39 states and the District of Columbia.
Comcast also announced an amnesty program for certain low-income families who could qualify for Internet Essentials, but have a past due balance. Customers who have an outstanding bill that is more than one year old are now eligible for the program. Comcast will offer amnesty for that debt for the purpose of connecting to Internet Essentials, so long as the customer meets all the other eligibility criteria.
Comcast Executive Vice President David L. Cohen was joined today by Georgia's First Lady Sandra Deal at Peyton Forrest Elementary School in Atlanta to make the announcement. Georgia students are among the first in the country to go back to school.
"Internet Essentials is about transforming lives and inspiring a new generation of leaders to be digitally ready to access the information and tools all students need to succeed in the 21st century," said Cohen. "By offering up to six months of complimentary Internet Essentials service, along with an amnesty program, we hope to convince even more families that there is no better school supply than having broadband Internet at home. With it, kids can do their homework and parents can be more connected to their children's teachers and schools."
"As a former school teacher, I know first-hand how critical it is that we prepare our children in and outside the classroom to succeed in learning and in life," said Georgia First Lady Sandra Deal. "As a teacher, I didn't just teach to one child. I taught to every student in the class, and that is also a goal of Internet Essentials: to ensure every child can build digital literacy skills that benefit them in the classroom and in life."
Throughout the back to school season, Comcast will actively engage with parents, teachers, non-profit partners and elected officials to help spread the word to low-income families about the program. The Company plans to air an unprecedented number of public service announcements (PSAs) that promote the new, six months complimentary offer, and to focus on schools where 100 percent of students receive a free lunch through the National School Lunch Program and can therefore automatically apply. Comcast will also continue to offer families the option to purchase a computer at less than $150, as well as provide access to free digital literacy training online, in print and in person.
Since 2011, Comcast and the Comcast Foundation have dedicated more than $200 million in cash and in-kind support to fund digital readiness initiatives nationwide, reaching more than 1.75 million people through non-profit, digital literacy partners. In 2013, Comcast announced its largest non-profit collaboration to date with Khan Academy to bring free, world-class online educational content to more low-income families. Khan Academy offers a personalized online learning experience to students, in subjects from basic math to physics, biology, economics, art history, computer science, health and medicine and more. Khan Academy has provided 400 million lessons and learners have completed over 2 billion exercise problems. Comcast has committed to airing hundreds of thousands of PSAs for and providing significant digital promotion, in both English and Spanish, of Khan Academy and its educational resources.
In March, Comcast announced the indefinite continuation of Internet Essentials, well beyond its original three-year commitment. The program's impact continues to grow as the company works to expand its national and local efforts to address the digital divide for eligible students and families. Since its launch in 2011 to the end of June 2014, Comcast has:
- Sold nearly 30,000 subsidized computers at less than $150 each.
- Distributed nearly 37 million Internet Essentials brochures at no cost.
- Broadcast more than 4 million public service announcements, valued at nearly $51 million.
- Welcomed nearly 2.2 million visitors to the Internet Essentials websites in English and Spanish and the Online Learning Center.
- Fielded more than 2.3 million phone calls to our Internet Essentials call center.
- Offered Internet Essentials in more than 30,000 schools and 4,000 school districts, in 39 states and the District of Columbia.
- Partnered with thousands of community-based organizations, government agencies, and federal, state, and local elected officials to spread the word.
- Dedicated $1 million in grants to create Internet Essentials Learning Zones, where networks of non-profit partners are working together to enhance public Internet access and increase family-focused digital literacy training in Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Fresno, Miami and Seattle, among others.
Based on customer surveys, we have also learned a lot about what customers think about having Internet Essentials.
- 98% said they would recommend the program to friends and families.
- 97% said they use the service so their kids can do homework.
- 90% said they were satisfied with the program.
- 82% said they use the service every day or almost every day.
Comcast and the Comcast Foundation have also made significant investments in nationwide digital readiness, training, and safety programs with partners like the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and The Arc. These partnerships integrate digital readiness education into program curricula and offer the disabilities community a better and safer opportunity to access and be empowered by digital technologies. Also, the Comcast Digital Connectors program has trained and certified thousands of youth in Internet and computer skills across the U.S.
Internet Essentials from Comcast is the nation's largest and most comprehensive broadband adoption program. It provides low-cost broadband service for $9.95 a month plus tax; the option to purchase an Internet-ready computer for under $150 and multiple options to access free digital literacy training in print, online and in-person. Eligible families must have at least one child eligible to participate in the National School Lunch Program, including public, parochial, private and homeschooled students.
For more information or to apply for the program, visit www.InternetEssentials.com or call 1-855-846-8376, or, for Spanish, visit www.InternetBasico.com or call 1-855-765-6995.

Podcast: Play in new window | Download
For 15 December 2012, Saturday of the second week of Advent, based on Matthew 17:10-13
As they were coming down from the mountain, the disciples asked Jesus, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?†He replied, "Elijah is indeed coming and will restore all things; but I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but they did to him whatever they pleased. So also the Son of Man is about to suffer at their hands.†Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them about John the Baptist.

We asked our parent audience for some of their ideas, and wow what a creative bunch you are! Here are 15 Homemade Halloween Costume Ideas your Kids will Love, and they won't cost a fortune either!
Sign up for our free newsletter, find us on facebook and Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest and please share this with your family & friends if you liked it!
#1. Dead Bride / Groom
Bizarrely, this is always a popular choice among children and adults!
"My 6-year-old wore my 36-year-old communion dress, with added bugs and veil, to dress up as a dead bride" – Lyn B.
For boys dig out those communion suits!
"I bought a net tablecloth which we cut up and added over an old communion dress and used as a veil, black roses and white face paint = dead bride" – Jenny G.
#2. Enderman
Minecraft costumes continue to be very popular with kids, and thankfully for us adults, most of the costumes are pretty easy to recreate, with cardboard boxes for heads.
"My 8-year-old was an 'enderman'. We used an inside-out skeleton costume, so all black, a box covered in black plastic & a mini torch to get the look" – Lyn B.
Instructables.com tells you how to make the box for head.
#3. Rubix Cube
We love this idea of a rubix cube costume – how neat!
"As a throw back to the 80's I made a Rubix Cube, using a large cardboard box. My daughter and I painted on the squares and cut a hole in the top for the head and two smaller ones in the sides for arms. She wore black leggings and a black top to complete the look" – Bill F
You could make a giant Sudoku Cube in the same way, cover with white paper and add your numbers in black.
#4. Bat Costume
This bat costume from alphamom.com is super simple, where a t-shirt is converted into a cute bat costume, in a few simple steps. Wear over some black leggings to complete the look.
A sewing machine is required, but instructions are easily mastered, according to alphamom.com. Print our the mask, cut if out and have your kid wear it over sunglasses for the dark eye effect!
#5. Queen of Hearts
Rachel T tell us, "I made a Queen of Hearts costume for my daughter that won second place in the Halloween contest. Here's how I did it:
- Get 2 decks of cards from a discount store (1 probably would have been enough but I got 2 in case I messed up).
- I stapled them together in a square shape and checked every so often to make sure it was sized correctly.
- I used a hole punch to put holes in the back and laced it with a ribbon.
- For the neck collar I did the same. I put one hole punch in the center and slid a bobby pin through it to put into her hair to make the collar stand up.
- Then I used a plain red shirt underneath the card corset.
- I made a red tutu with yellow in the front and black tights.
- For the crown, I just took regular printer paper, painted it gold, made a paper rose out of cards and hot glued it on the crown. Then Bobby pinned in into her hair."
Phew, lots of hard work but what an awesome idea.
#6. Spider
Jenny G created a nifty spider outfit as follows:
- Outfit clothes were black leggings and t-shirt.
- We got 3 pairs of black tights, cut the legs out and stuffed them with plastic bags. These were held together with fishing line, then individually sewn on to make spiders arms that move when you move your arms.
- We created our spider eyes by cutting bouncy balls/ping pong balls in half, and then sewing them onto a black hat."
Genius outfit Jenny!
Watch this video if you'd like to see a spider costume being made.
#7. Minion
These DIY minion costumes from One Creative Housewife, look great, and are sure to be a winner with your kids. They are pretty cheap to make too.
Basic costume comes from denim dungarees/some type of overalls, and a yellow hoodie. Round black glasses were purchased at a discount store. Pipe cleaners sewn on form the hair. If you sew items on to clothing, rather than glueing, then all clothes can be reused after Halloween.
We also love this variety of Despicable Me characters from Happenings of the Harper Household, where you make the goggles from jar lids, attached to an elasticated head band.
"I did a Minion. Dungarees, yellow t-shirt. Face painted yellow and silver for goggles, and made a Gru sign out of black felt and tacked it the front! Great fun" – H.Lee
#8. Zombie
Zombie costumes are pretty easy to make and the kids will get a kick out of cutting up and decorating their old clothes. Old jeans/trousers and an old shirt work best.
"We made a zombie with old trousers and a shirt that were a too small. A little bit of scissors work, some facepaint for clothes and face and we had a zombie!" – Jennifer B
Here's how:
- Cut off the seams of the trousers, and make the end jagged/frayed. Add some rips also.
- Do the same for the sleeves of the shirt
- Use red face paint for "blood" marks on trousers, and black/brown for "mud/dirt". You could also use fake blood for decorating
- We spiked up the hair and added some talcum powder to make it look greyish
- Finally – do some zombie face paint.
#9. Dead School Girl / Boy
For a couple of years this was all my daughter wanted to be. It's a bit like creating a zombie, but just using school uniform instead.
We used an old school uniform, complete with a school tie, long knee socks and covered everything with fake blood and mud. We backcombed her hair and added some plastic spiders and some twigs to complete the look.
WikiHow has instructions here.
#10. Bunch of Grapes!
Watch this cute video and see how to make your child look like a giant bunch of grapes.
#11. LEGO Brick
We love the creativity and thought behind this clever LEGO Brick costume from Country Living.
All you need is a large box, glossy spray paint and some round small craft boxes. Pick the colour of brick according to clothes your child will wear underneath. You may need to paint a few times, to achieve the colour you want.
This is sure to be a winner if you have a LEGO fan in the house!
#12. Werewolf
Werewolves are always popular with the kids at Halloween, and the freakier the better!
Sarah S tells us how she turned her son into a werewolf without spending a fortune! Here's how:
- "Face paint, black woolly gloves with tooth picks stuck on as claws, old school shirt.
- I got an old bit of fur from a coat hood, part coloured with black marker and stuck on to pieces of cardboard to make some great furry ears.
- The only thing I bought were teeth and fake blood."
For extra effect, you could also attach fur to ripped up old clothes – on chest, legs and cuffs of sleeves.
#13. Mummy
To create the perfect Mummy, use white leggings and long sleeve top and wrap bandages or white toilet roll all over. Add some fake blood and some garden mud to complete the look.
We love the little Mummy in this video – watch how to make your own here.
#14. Viking Costume
How cute is this viking costume from I am Momma – Hear Me Roar? It is simple to produce and very cost effective.
Hard to believe, but the furry effect was created from toilet seat covers! The only items purchased were toilet seat covers, and the viking hat and hammer. Snow boots were just covered and tied with leather string, so are not a permanent fixture.
Paint a beard, strike a pose and behold the scary viking!
#15. Box of Popcorn
OMG – how cute is this idea – a popcorn box costume!
Watch how to make it here:
You could also make a popcorn bag as follows:
- Use a white shift dress/old sheet/2 stiff white card tied together(with room for head, legs and arms) as the bag.
- Paint on red vertical stripes and write the word Popcorn onto the front.
- You could cut a zig zag line at the top to make the costume look like a popcorn box.
- Glue popped corn to a white hat to complete the look!
Check out our Halloween Pinterest Page for some more great costume ideas.

I've own my domain for my web store for 13 years. It isn't until recently that I've actually started to "do something" with it. It's taken me so long to just get the nerve to work on it. That seems like a lame excuse.. but it's true.
I have over 250 items listed there now. Currently I'm being baffled by categories… I've never given any thought to how people have stuff categorized.. Needless to say the categorization of my store is quite vexing…
For example.. do I put Sunglasses in accessories? Do I make a category for vintage and new sunglasses? If I do that, should I categorize them between men, women and unisex? Should the accessories category be under clothing? Way to many decisions..
I'm probably over thinking this… so I'll ask…. Do you have a web store? How did you categorize your inventory?

What is meta charset?
A charset or character set in full is essentially a set of characters recognized by the computer the same way the calculator can identify numbers. Each of these characters is represented by a number known as code point and this creates a communication channel for encoding and decoding content.
A character set, therefore, contains characters that serve a specific or particular purpose. The computer stores the characters as one or more bytes. An example is the ASCII character set which represents all English characters and special control characters with numbers from 0-127.
However, most character sets only work for specific languages and recognize limited characters and this makes the coding and encoding difficult or impossible. In modern times, however, the Unicode is the most reliable and universally accepted character set due to its ability to translate codes and numbers easily.
You can see the meta charset in the header of your html code
<meta charset="utf-8>
How does it work?
Meta Charset is what determines how text is transmitted and stored. This text data is usually converted to binary first and then there needs to be a kind of cipher that connects characters with their correct binary equivalents.
When this data is eventually decoded, the character encoding must be known beforehand or there could be complications. An example of these can be seen in browsers when you're looking at a webpage. Information about the kind of character set used comes from the server or is written directly by the developer. Unfortunately, there is a myriad of character sets and this means diverse ways of matching binary codes to characters and bytes.
For content developers and authors, choosing the UTF-8 character set for your content means that you can use a single character set to multiple characters needs thereby simplifying things greatly without the need to track and convert multiple times. This means it would be easier to surf through your content without getting confusing characters and garbage
AddType 'text/html; charset=UTF-8' html
Why is it important?
When you think of the fact that every single time text is transmitted, it needs to be encoded in a specific charset and decoded on the other side, the importance of charset is quite obvious. This means that without proper character coding, a browser will display garbage text because it simply does not understand what is being put into it and has to make a quick uninformed guess.
It is also important in html forms because when you input text into text boxes on sites or social media platforms, it has to be encoded carefully. If this information is unavailable for any reason, the incorrect mapping could lead to the loss of vital information.
What a character set does is to provide a key to unlock and crack a code that passes between the user and the website.
It is a set of structured mappings between the bytes in the computer and the characters in the character set. If this key is missing, the data looks like written garbage. This means that when you input text through a keyboard, the character set links the characters you choose to specific bytes in computer memory, and then to display the text it reads the bytes back into the characters.
Is it a ranking factor for SEO?
The character set is not a ranking factor for search engine optimization. Most search engines focus on the important goal of delivering relevant, useful content to those who seek it and as such does not consider other outside factors that do not contribute to that goal.
So your character set matters because of how you transmit information but search engines are not interested in it. Using other charsets apart from Utf-8 will not decrease your SEO ranking because to a large extent it doesn't matter what character encoding you use as long as the search engine is able to get information to the end users.
How can I add it if I need to?
You can add a character set to your website by using the following code
<?phpheader( Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1')
For this to work, you should include this in the PHP that includes your html file. It is important to note that it might not work on all web pages as the code above is not a function but a statement so you should include your page html. This is bearing in mind that the php web page uses Utf-8 character set on its header.
Different types of charset
Most charsets came about from individual manufacturers catering to the needs of their clients. Most charsets are incompatible with each other (with a few exceptions). The three most common charsets are, ASCII (1968), ISO 8859-1 (1987) and UTF-8 (1996).
Charset for the English language. Contains 7-bits that are mapped to 128 characters. Each letter is assigned a number from 0 to 127. This code set is quite restricted, but being one of the pioneers sparked the creation of a character set for each of the other languages. Most computers use ASCII codes to represent text.
Unicode was created to unify 135 modern and historic languages under one standard. Unicode is a standard and not a charset itself. As of May 2019, version 12.1, Unicode contains 137,994 characters including symbols and emojis. The Unicode standard defines UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32
Now the dominant code of the internet. UTF-8 is used in 94% of websites. It encodes the most common characters, basic numbers, and English with 8-bits. UTF-8 uses a minimum of 1 byte. UTF-8 is also identical to ASCII for English. This means that any ASCII text is also a UTF-8 text.
Unicode with 16 bits. While used originally with systems such as Windows and Java, it never really took off with Linux and macOS. Today UTF-16 is used with 0.01% of webpages. UTF-16 uses a minimum of 2 bytes.
Unicode with 32 bits. The advantage of UTF-32 is that the Unicode points are directly indexed. The disadvantage is that it is not efficient with its use of space as it always uses 4 bytes. This means up to twice the size of UTF-16 and four times to that of UTF-8.
In conclusion
So what are the SEO benefits of charset? While not a direct ranking factor you will need to be aware of your charset. If you accidentally display 2 different standards in your meta charset or do not follow the standard's rules correctly, then you will have a decoding issue, and your content will not be displayed correctly. This will negatively impact your SEO.
If you implement your charset correctly then you will help prevent a high bounce rate, not give people a reason to not link to you and search engines cannot mistakenly interpret your content which is going to help your SEO efforts.


text: The 125cc Parilla Sudam engine is an amazing engine package. This engine built as an open with dual carbs and stroked crank is capable of a reliable 55+ horsepower. We offer the Sudam at various levels of horsepower depending on your class structure. The base package at approximately 38 horse is the stock Sudam as it comes from IAME and is less a carb. The next level would be the Blueprinted Sudam which is approximately 41 to 44 horsepower with a single blueprinted carb, depending on fuel. We then offer the engine as an Open with single or dual carb setup which is approximately 44 to 48 horsepower, again depending on the carb/fuel combination. Then the ultimate, built as an open with a stroked crank and dual Tillotson carb assembly at 55+ horsepower. With each modified engine package the cases are cut and contoured to maximize air flow to the cylinder. The cylinder has the port timings, sizes, angles and volumes precisely adjusted to combinations that we have found to work best in conjunction with each other. The reed cage is modified for increased flow. Each engine is dynoed (except stock engine less carb) and includes a dyno print out. |

Congratulations to Curiosity! As the New York Times says this morning,
In a flawless, triumphant technological tour de force, a plutonium-powered rover the size of a small car was lowered at the end of 25-foot-long cables from a hovering rocket stage onto Mars early on Monday morning.
A crowd of some 5000 people gathered on the plaza at NASA Ames Research Center late last night (it was only Monday Morning on the east coast) to watch presentations by mission scientists and finally the live broadcast, on the big screen.
This was a thrill. Not only was the landing process itself incredible— watch this video, "Seven minutes of terror" if you haven't —but it was amazing to be in a crowd of so many people excited to watch the landing as well. Many of the people in the audience screaming and cheering had worked on various parts of the mission, including the ground-breaking (pun intended) scientific instruments aboard the rover and the new lifting-body heat shield to get it there.

From the time birthdays happen to be celebrated, there were birthday cakes specifically Peace Sign Birthday Cakes. The pastry will be the lovely the main occasion that everyone looks forward to. Additionally, the pastry is known as one of many defining elements of any party celebration. Having a creative pastry will not merely impress attendees nevertheless it may also delight the preferences.
One of many more exclusive ideas for muffins will be to convert the pastry to the model of the party's theme. Like, in the event the occasion theme is beneath the beach, then probably obtaining the pastry while in the model of a bass will be appropriate. Having a uniquely shaped pastry is merely one of many many strategies to individualize.
Another good plan for exclusive muffins will be to incorporate using images. Many bakeries have the opportunity to transpose a favorite photo onto the human body of the pastry. Deciding on a beloved picture of anyone enjoying is a wonderful way to start conversation at the occasion. It is a smart way to both reminisce and have an equally exclusive pastry.
Icecream pastry is another imaginative way to have the pastry built. This sort of pastry is fairly the crowd pleaser at functions and will come in various designs. The great thing about ice cream muffins is there is no need to pass-out both ice cream and pastry anymore. Simply pass-out one full bowl of ice cream pastry and many people are covered.

Telecom calls on automation to improve market position
SAS helps automate and personalize marketing campaigns.
30% reduction
in customer churn
Vodafone Ukraine achieved this using • SAS® Customer Intelligence
Vodafone Ukraine reduces customer churn by 30 percent with SAS® Customer Intelligence
Vodafone Ukraine is nothing if not ambitious. The second-largest mobile operator in Ukraine has the ambitious goal of leapfrogging the competition with the help of SAS Customer Intelligence.
"We are second in the market now and our main purpose is to become the market leader," says Volodymyr Rybalko, Head of Customer Value Management at Vodafone Ukraine.
From a customer volume perspective, the goal appears within reach. Vodafone Ukraine currently serves 20 million customers – 6 million fewer than its top competitor. The company invested in SAS Customer Intelligence to help close the gap with analytics.
"Improving retention and generating more incremental revenue than our competition requires better decision making, more accurate propensity models, better targeting and faster campaign execution," Rybalko says. "SAS helps us with all these, and gives us the flexibility to work faster, smarter and more efficiently."
SAS gives us the flexibility to work faster, smarter and more efficiently. Volodymyr Rybalko Head of Customer Value Management Vodafone Ukraine
The pivotal first step
The Ukrainian telecommunications market is full of challenges. EU-driven legislation is resulting in stricter data management rules for telecoms. Political and economic insecurity remains a problem. And disruptive forces such as emerging mobile technologies, new competition and evolving consumer expectations are forcing providers to innovate for survival.
If that's not enough, the Ukraine telecommunication market is saturated, resulting in fierce competition for existing customers between the top service providers.
Vodafone Ukraine is turning to analytics and marketing automation from SAS to address these challenges and provide thrust to its growing business. Critical to this effort is a strong data management practice to help the company more strategically use customer data.
In the past, targeting was out of reach due to the sheer volume and complexity of the data. Now, with the embedded data management tools of SAS Customer Intelligence, Vodafone Ukraine can more easily address every aspect of managing customer data – from ETL to data quality – a pivotal first step in personalizing and automating marketing campaigns.
Vodafone Ukraine – Facts & Figures
20 million
market share
growth in targeted communcations
30 percent reduction in churn
With data ready for analysis, marketers at Vodafone Ukraine applied clustering and segmentation techniques to 3,000 unique data points collected from the company's billing system and other sources. This formed thousands of groups with similar characteristics, which marketers now use to create highly accurate retention models, determine ideal product mixes and next-best offers, and send more effective communications.
This strategy has helped the company reduce customer churn by 30 percent. At the same time, incremental revenue has climbed by 2 percent. Elsewhere, the implementation of analytics has reduced data processing times from multiple weeks to one day, and increased the number of integrated communication channels from two to five.
Benefits abound, as campaign output has also rocketed. A made-for-marketing interface along with automated and trackable processes helps the telecom get more campaigns out the door faster. With SAS Customer Intelligence, Vodafone Ukraine has grown its number of targeted communications from 100 to 2,000 a month using the same human resources.
"I'm quite glad about our results with SAS," Rybalko says. "I strongly recommend SAS for analytics, marketing personalization and campaign automation."
Embracing marketing technology
The internal analytics community within Vodafone Ukraine has embraced the technology. Its number of SAS users has grown from 15 to 200 over the past five years, a rapid expansion Rybalko credits to the software's robustness and ease of use.
"SAS is easy to understand for new users. It provides good tools for automating marketing tasks and solving a range of complicated analytical problems," he says.
Today, almost all corporate analytics are based on SAS, according to Rybalko. "All customer-related business decisions are based on statistics we prepare in SAS. For example, we recently implemented a unique contact policy to protect customers from spam, and we constantly improve our predictive models to satisfy customer needs in other areas."
Looking ahead, Vodafone Ukraine plans to expand its use of marketing technology. "In the future, we will implement a solution for real-time marketing using big data and analytics," Rybalko says. "We're eager to engage our customers with offers instantly based on real-time information."

John Hay, America's Lord Grantham, Brought to Life
Tired of the bickering between Democrats and Republicans, between Congress and the administration? Relax. It's been worse.
The death of Secretary of State John Milton Hay in 1905 provoked this response from Henry Adams: "The Senate killed Hay."
"Our friend Cabot helped to murder him [as] consciously as possible, precisely as though he put strychnine in his drink. … His diplomates [sic] tired him out, after his Senators poisoned him," continued Adams, the grandson and great-grandson of presidents and Hay's closest friend.
Cabot — Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts — came from the same Republican Party as Hay. Against that history, today's Democrats and Republicans should pat themselves on the back for getting along so well.
Cabot Lodge's defense of Senate prerogatives over treaties did drive Hay to distraction in his final years. More than a century later, we can thank Cabot Lodge for taking pains to cause the pain. John Taliaferro's biography, "All the Great Prizes: The Life of John Hay, From Lincoln to Roosevelt," mostly comes to life when the villains — in this telling, Cabot Lodge and President Theodore Roosevelt — are on stage disturbing Hay's peace of mind.
Cabot Lodge and Roosevelt aside, Hay lived an extraordinary life. He is an exemplar of the continuing practice of hitching your wagon to a political star to make a mark and escape a backwater. His fervently desired escape was from the prospect of becoming a country lawyer in Warsaw, Ill.
President Abraham Lincoln offered the brighter future of a private secretary's job, and Hay never looked back. (Though he soon voiced perfunctory nostalgia for home, another practice still common in Washington.)
Hay's accomplishments were professional and personal: Lincoln's private secretary and later biographer, diplomat, novelist and poet; journalist for Horace Greeley's New York Tribune; art collector; friend to Adams, Bret Harte, Henry James, William Dean Howells and Whitelaw Reid; ambassador to Britain, secretary of State. Oh, and he married the daughter of Amasa Stone, the wealthiest man in Cleveland, the city home to John D. Rockefeller.
Hay looks like an American Lord Grantham. Rich thanks to his wife's inheritance, he was well-connected and most importantly, well-behaved. He was not one to overturn tradition. Today, he is virtually forgotten.
Washingtonians can hear an echo of his presence in the Hay-Adams Hotel, site of the lavish Lafayette Square house the two built so they could enjoy each another's company. Mets fans can thank Hay's granddaughter for giving New York a second baseball team.
As secretary of State, his open-door policy preserved the integrity of China and raised the stature of U.S. diplomacy, winning him plaudits and fame.
Bright, and always competent, Hay's talent was to charm his way to success. His skills were social and his achievements were built on them, not on intellectual candlepower or political arm-twisting. The open-door policy on China was steeped in American tradition going back to George Washington's warning to not get caught in foreign entanglements.
Taliaferro is reluctant to agree, but the evidence of this book is that Roosevelt got it right: "He was at his best at a dinner table or in a drawing room, and in neither place have I ever seen anyone's best that was better than his." But Hay's "easy-loving nature" and "moral timidity" made him "shrink from all that was rough in life, and therefore from practical affairs."
Taliaferro mines the letters of Hay, his family and his friends and the personal warmth shines through. What's also unavoidable is how little Hay was engaged to his times. His loyalty was to Lincoln and President William McKinley, to his wife (despite at least two infatuations with other women, one of them the wife of his nemesis, Cabot Lodge), to friends like Adams and Clarence King, to the class he rose to, and to the GOP.
Like the fictional Lord Grantham of "Downton Abbey" fame, Hay was oblivious or indifferent to how profoundly the world was changing around him. Less than a decade after his death, Europe erupted into a war that destroyed four empires, dragged the United States into another peace-making effort and brought another president into conflict with Cabot Lodge over a treaty.
For a man so deeply connected to the politicians, businessmen and writers of the late 19th century, Hay's intellect was astonishingly untroubled. The gap becomes evident late in Hay's life, on a trip to Europe.
Adams meets him in a brand new automobile. As they motor around the outskirts of Paris, the reader notices that Hay's adult life encompassed the dawn of the automobile, aviation, the telephone and the completion of the trans-continental railroad. None of this apparently attracted Hay's intellectual notice.
The languages and the traveling didn't help him spot, as a young diplomat in the late 1860s, that Otto von Bismarck was remaking the European map. He loved Britain but doesn't utter a thought about how Benjamin Disraeli and William Gladstone remade the place as they swapped power in election after election. European powers carved up Africa and the man on the verge of taking over U.S. foreign policy was silent. Germany was building a navy to rival Britain's as Hay was reaching the pinnacle of his career, and it seemed to have escaped his attention.
President Roosevelt kept Hay on the job after McKinley's assassination. Roosevelt's boisterousness always rubbed Hay wrong, and the contrast between the two is a fitting summary of the century that was ending and the one beginning.

Distributed Search with Index Sharding
When using traditional index sharding, you will need to consider how to query your documents.
It is highly recommended that you use SolrCloud when needing to scale up or scale out. The setup described below is legacy and was used prior to the existence of SolrCloud. SolrCloud provides for a truly distributed set of features with support for things like automatic routing, leader election, optimistic concurrency and other sanity checks that are expected out of a distributed system.
Everything on this page is specific to legacy setup of distributed search. Users trying out SolrCloud should not follow any of the steps or information below.
Update reorders (i.e., replica A may see update X then Y, and replica B may see update Y then X). deleteByQuery also handles reorders the same way, to ensure replicas are consistent. All replicas of a shard are consistent, even if the updates arrive in a different order on different replicas.
Distributing Documents across Shards
When not using SolrCloud, it is up to you to get all your documents indexed on each shard of your server farm. Solr supports distributed indexing (routing) in its true form only in the SolrCloud mode.
In the legacy distributed mode, Solr does not calculate universal term/doc frequencies. For most large-scale implementations, it is not likely to matter that Solr calculates TF/IDF at the shard level. However, if your collection is heavily skewed in its distribution across servers, you may find misleading relevancy results in your searches. In general, it is probably best to randomly distribute documents to your shards.
Executing Distributed Searches with the shards Parameter
If a query request includes the shards
parameter, the Solr server distributes the request across all the shards listed as arguments to the parameter. The shards
parameter uses this syntax:
For example, the shards
parameter below causes the search to be distributed across two Solr servers: solr1 and solr2, both of which are running on port 8983:
Rather than require users to include the shards parameter explicitly, it is usually preferred to configure this parameter as a default in the RequestHandler section of solrconfig.xml
Do not add the |
With Legacy mode, only query requests are distributed. This includes requests to the SearchHandler (or any handler extending from org.apache.solr.handler.component.SearchHandler
) using standard components that support distributed search.
As in SolrCloud mode, when shards.info=true
, distributed responses will include information about the shard (where each shard represents a logically different index or physical location)
The following components support distributed search:
- The Query component, which returns documents matching a query
- The Facet component, which processes facet.query and facet.field requests where facets are sorted by count (the default).
- The Highlighting component, which enables Solr to include "highlighted" matches in field values.
- The Stats component, which returns simple statistics for numeric fields within the DocSet.
- The Debug component, which helps with debugging.
Shards Whitelist
The nodes allowed in the shards
parameter is configurable through the shardsWhitelist
property in solr.xml
. This whitelist is automatically configured for SolrCloud but needs explicit configuration for master/slave mode. Read more details in the section Configuring the ShardHandlerFactory.
Limitations to Distributed Search
Distributed searching in Solr has the following limitations:
- Each document indexed must have a unique key.
- If Solr discovers duplicate document IDs, Solr selects the first document and discards subsequent documents.
- The index for distributed searching may become momentarily out of sync if a commit happens between the first and second phase of the distributed search. This might cause a situation where a document that once matched a query and was subsequently changed may no longer match the query but will still be retrieved. This situation is expected to be quite rare, however, and is only possible for a single query request.
- The number of shards is limited by number of characters allowed for GET method's URI; most Web servers generally support at least 4000 characters, but many servers limit URI length to reduce their vulnerability to Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.
- Shard information can be returned with each document in a distributed search by including
fl=id, [shard]
in the search request. This returns the shard URL. - In a distributed search, the data directory from the core descriptor overrides any data directory in
- Update commands may be sent to any server with distributed indexing configured correctly. Document adds and deletes are forwarded to the appropriate server/shard based on a hash of the unique document id. commit commands and deleteByQuery commands are sent to every server in
Formerly a limitation was that TF/IDF relevancy computations only used shard-local statistics. This is still the case by default. If your data isn't randomly distributed, or if you want more exact statistics, then remember to configure the ExactStatsCache.
Avoiding Distributed Deadlock with Distributed Search
Like in SolrCloud mode, inter-shard requests could lead to a distributed deadlock. It can be avoided by following the instructions in the section Distributed Requests.
Testing Index Sharding on Two Local Servers
For simple functional testing, it's easiest to just set up two local Solr servers on different ports. (In a production environment, of course, these servers would be deployed on separate machines.)
Make two Solr home directories and copy
into the new directories:mkdir example/nodes mkdir example/nodes/node1 # Copy solr.xml into this solr.home cp server/solr/solr.xml example/nodes/node1/. # Repeat the above steps for the second node mkdir example/nodes/node2 cp server/solr/solr.xml example/nodes/node2/.
Start the two Solr instances
# Start first node on port 8983 bin/solr start -s example/nodes/node1 -p 8983 # Start second node on port 8984 bin/solr start -s example/nodes/node2 -p 8984
Create a core on both the nodes with the sample_techproducts_configs.
bin/solr create_core -c core1 -p 8983 -d sample_techproducts_configs # Create a core on the Solr node running on port 8984 bin/solr create_core -c core1 -p 8984 -d sample_techproducts_configs
In a third window, index an example document to each of the server:
bin/post -c core1 example/exampledocs/monitor.xml -port 8983 bin/post -c core1 example/exampledocs/monitor2.xml -port 8984
Search on the node on port 8983:
curl http://localhost:8983/solr/core1/select?q=*:*&wt=xml&indent=true
This should bring back one document.
Search on the node on port 8984:
curl http://localhost:8984/solr/core1/select?q=*:*&wt=xml&indent=true
This should also bring back a single document.
Now do a distributed search across both servers with your browser or
In the example below, an extra parameter 'fl' is passed to restrict the returned fields to id and name.curl http://localhost:8983/solr/core1/select?q=*:*&indent=true&shards=localhost:8983/solr/core1,localhost:8984/solr/core1&fl=id,name&wt=xml
This should contain both the documents as shown below:
<response> <lst name="responseHeader"> <int name="status">0</int> <int name="QTime">8</int> <lst name="params"> <str name="q">*:*</str> <str name="shards">localhost:8983/solr/core1,localhost:8984/solr/core1</str> <str name="indent">true</str> <str name="fl">id,name</str> <str name="wt">xml</str> </lst> </lst> <result name="response" numFound="2" start="0" maxScore="1.0"> <doc> <str name="id">3007WFP</str> <str name="name">Dell Widescreen UltraSharp 3007WFP</str> </doc> <doc> <str name="id">VA902B</str> <str name="name">ViewSonic VA902B - flat panel display - TFT - 19"</str> </doc> </result> </response>

We don't have a lot of bad words in skydiving (regardless of what you might hear after the beer light comes on! ;), but there is one we can all agree on: Complacency.
In skydiving, we say someone is complacent when they think they are safe but they are acting unsafely or in an unsafe situation. This covers a number of situations, but right now we'll focus on our behavior in the aircraft.
It's certainly rare, but any moving or flying vehicle can come to a sudden stop for a variety of reasons. We often see people put their helmets on for takeoff, but neglect to secure them with the chin strap (usually full-face helmets that people think may stay on because of the liner's "chin cup"). This is a clear instance of complacency because that jumper assumes the plane won't crash. Most of the time, he/she will be right, but if she's wrong, the consequences can be pretty major.
There is a very good reason we require helmets to be on or otherwise secured for takeoff. In the unlikely event of an aircraft issue, what good is a helmet that is not secured to your head? If it flies off it's no help to you and a danger to everyone else in the aircraft. OK, it's hot. We get it. But really, how much cooler is that helmet without the strap secured? Especially compared to your safety and that of everyone else on the load?
Here are a few more points to consider, from a recent conversation with Dan Brodsky-Chenfeld (you know, that world-champion skydiver who nearly died in a plane crash in 1992?).
- Aircraft incidents where a helmet could come in handy range from the rare and obvious (uncontrolled landings) to the more common but less obvious (hard stop due to aborted takeoff, for example).
- A helmet that is buckled to your chest strap cannot protect your head. What it can do is break ribs and cause internal injuries if turbulence or worse causes you to strike another jumper or the aircraft.
- Dan was not wearing a helmet when the plane he was riding in crashed. He has a permanent head injury as a result, and feels that had he been wearing a helmet, he would not be taking medication for this injury for the rest of his life.
Your helmet should be secured for takeoff by either:
- Putting it on your head and fastening it (recommended).
- Clipping it on your chest strap or running the strap through the helmet.
- Buckling it and you into the seat belt.
In skydiving, we manage our risk to the lowest possible level so we can make as many jumps as we can. Don't raise your risk with something as silly as an unbuckled chin strap.
As always, if you have any questions, just ask one of our many instructors! Fly safe.
