Couchbase PHP SDK - Persistent Connections
We are currently looking to deploy Couchbase for a high traffic large site.
Everything is working with no issues - however across the set-up we are seeing network issues between our php-fpm server and the Couchbase servers.
This largely seems to be caused by each php thread creating a new connection to (1) server:8091 and then (2) server:11210.
Reading the documentation:
220.127.116.11.1.1. Performance Considerations Note that calling new Couchbase($url) will make a REST call to Couchbase Server to determine the cluster topology. This is a relatively expensive call and that's the reason why we use persistent connections by default, so that this call doesn't have to be made more often then necessary, and most importantly not on every user-request. That means, if you have any code that calls new Memcached(); in a tight loop, you want to move the call to new Couchbase(); to outside of that loop. If you compare performance between ext/memcached and ext/couchbase and find ext/couchbase to run at 1/2 the speed of ext/memcached, look for places where new Couchbase(); is called in a loop or otherwise repeatedly.
I have read this several times - and it seems to be saying that ext/couchbase will maintain connections - and have them persistent.
This is a relatively expensive call and that's the reason why we use persistent connections by default, so that this call doesn't have to be made more often then necessary, and most importantly not on every user-request.
My initial question is - does the PHP SDK use persistent connections across user requests?
e.g. for every HTTP request that goes through to php-fpm should there be calls to the cluster on 8091 and then specific server on 11210?
I can not decide if I am reading the documentation wrong - of if I have got something configured wrong.
Hello David,
well I was going to post the exact same question. Using non-persistent connections makes the application run slower (about 15 ms) because of the time needed by the client to get the cluster topology.
I tried to start a persistent connection :
$cb = new Couchbase("127.0.0.1:8091", '', '', '', true); $cb->set("a", 1); echo $cb->get('a') . '
';
and, on the second call, I get a suhosin error message (and Apache resets the connection) with "ALERT - canary mismatch on efree() - heap overflow detected....."
I don't think the php extension handles correctly persistent connections :(
I don't deploy Couchbase because of this reason... Still waiting for some update, let's keep this thread active :)
Any update ?
Same problem here, the connection start with each request.
The recent commit may solve your problems: https://github.com/couchbase/php-ext-couchbase/commit/e959001ce680862ee1...
Just to follow up on what daschl said, I have bits available now and if you'd like to help me test them, that'd be great. We're going to go through a full testing cycle and have an updated release here soon as well, likely within the next week.
If you're interested, post on this thread what OS and architecture and I'll get you some bits.
Our environment is Ubuntu x86_64.
If we could get access to PHP1.1 that would be very useful.
The fix has been applied to the 1.0 branch, but I'm currently not aware if this issue has been removed in 1.1
You can download the 1.1-dp2 preview from here: http://www.couchbase.com/develop/php/next Note that view support is currently not working in there, but it should be possible to validate your issue.
To test the fix in the 1.0 branch, you need to clone the repository from here: https://github.com/couchbase/php-ext-couchbase/tree/1.0.x . If you haven't done this yet, the readme provides the instructions to do so (it's not that hard on ubuntu, just make sure you have the php5-dev packages installed so that the "phpize" command is available.
Hope that helps,
Did you get what you needed from daschl's reply? The fix is currently only on the 1.0 branch, but I can probably merge it up for you since we'll be doing so anyway. Also, would be useful to know Ubuntu 10 or 11. We build to the dependencies in the OS.
I installed these packages :
And installed the php extension from :
I still get the segfault, in the Apache error log "child pid ... exit signal Segmentation fault (11)", when I try to use persistent connections with this code :
$cb = new Couchbase("127.0.0.1:8091", '', '', 'default', true);
$cb->set("a", 1);
And I'm very sad (of course). The canary mismatch has gone but the segfault is still here.
I'm not sure if this is helpful to you, but it seems in the current 1.1.0-dp2 it is fixed (it works for me at least).
I'm running libcouchbase 1.1.0.dp6 and php-ext-couchbase on 1.1.0-dp2. The following code works for me without segfaults:
php -r '$cb = new Couchbase("127.0.0.1:8091", "", "", "default", true); $cb->set("a", 1); echo $cb->get("a")."\n";'
===> 1
So if upgrading to a developer-preview is an option for you, this may lead to a quick win.
I'll see if I can get it to run with the versions you provided here.
I would like to try :) but I cannot find the libcouchbase 1.1.0.dp6 :(
I tried with the new extension but (of course) I get an error : /usr/sbin/apache2: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/php5/20090626/couchbase.so: undefined symbol: libcouchbase_set_couch_complete_callback
Please could you tell me where I could download the libcouchbase 1.1.0.dp6 ?
Thank you
Of course, there is a "preview" repo for that available here:
deb http://packages.couchbase.com/preview/ubuntu oneiric oneiric/main
If you update afterwards, the packages should be updated to the new version automatically!
I tried adding the unstable repo but it's not compatible with the stable Debian (squeeze) I have on my test server. libevent and libstdc++ are needed in a new version, I cannot install them so I cannot install the latest version of libcouchbase.
Any idea of what I could do ? Apart from waiting ? :)
In that case, the most reliable thing would be to build libvbucket and libcouchbase from the tarballs associated with the release. couchbase.com/develop/c/next has them listed.
After untarring, just do ./configure && make && make install
After that, it should be possible to build the PHP from source.
This is more reliable than cloning the git repo, since all of the autoconf/automake checking has been built in to the source release tarballs.
yay it's working :) and it's 2.5 times faster than Memcache !
I installed from these packages :
Did not need to compile anything.
Glad to hear that it worked for you! Also, awesome that it's so much faster.
Thanks for your feedback!
now it's not working, I have segfaults again as soon as I enable persistent connections.
It's working randomly :(
Should I open a bug ticket ?
Can you tell me what OS/Architecture you're using? I'd like to send you a build to see if it resolves things in your environment. If it doesn't, then we'll need to open a ticket and get some information.
SDK version 1.0.4 is doing the same to me as well. When i originally tested it with just the default bucket and no auth with persistent connections it seemed fine. I removed the default bucket, created a new one with a different name and the connection with server,user,pass,bucket,persistent segfaults on the second connection attempt.
Hi there, I don't know if I am being silly, but I just signed up and can't see the PHP 1.1 SDK for Windows x86 64-bit...
Please let me know where (or if) this exists. I am rather excited to get started with this - 'Big Data' is all the rave these days :-)
Thanks and regards.
you are not silly - the SDK is currently only available on *NIX platforms. As far as I know, there are plans to provide a windows build in the near future, but we'll need ingenthr for a explicit answer on this.
Upgraded to 1.0.5 which seemed promising according to the changelog.. Alas... Issue still persists. Persistent connections seg faults still with php extension 1.0.5
That's definitely unexpected. Any chance you can just run this in a simple script and generate a core or get a stack trace on it? Let me know if you need more help.
I've tried a direct PM and a direct reply here and was flagged as spam..? Please contact me if you want a core dump etc. This is still and issue in my stack.
Okay, I'll drop you an email. Sorry for the spam issue.
Unable to create a small proof thus far to trigger the issue but it flat out bombs every time in production using persistant connections. Can you PM me what you need from me to assist? (I sent you a PM right after you posted this already fyi)
I receive segfault in apache error log when trying to instance a persistent connection more than once.
Here's some sample php code:
<?php $user = NULL; $password = NULL; $bucket = 'charlie'; $hostAndPort = 'localhost:8091'; $persistent = TRUE; $cb = new \Couchbase($hostAndPort, $user, $password, $bucket, $persistent); $cb = new \Couchbase($hostAndPort, $user, $password, $bucket, $persistent); $cb->set('food', 'tacos'); var_dump($cb, $cb->get('food'));
results in : [notice] child pid 2194 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
Comment out one of the calls, or set $persistent to FALSE on the second call, and it works as expected.
I'm guessing additional calls for persistent connections results in the segfault.
Any thoughts why?
We've recently fixed a couple of memory handling bugs in the PHP extension and are working to test everything and send along a release.
What OS/Architecture are you on? I may be able to send you a pre-release so you can help us verify the fix (and have working persistent connections)
Here is my environment:
PHP 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.4 with Suhosin-Patch
Ubuntu Server 12.04 64-bit.
Couchbase: version 1.8.0 community edition (build-55)
Apache Server version: Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu)
I have tested on a few different machines with similar setups, and have same segfault result on all.
Debian Lenny x86_64, Latest Zend Server build running PHP 5.3.9
1.0.5-10 prerelease seems to be better. No segfaults in staging thus far but i am a bit curious as to what the expected behavior is. We're using a single node with all couch buckets and simply refreshing a page increased the connection count to the server until it hit 104 connections..and seems to be stable there.. does that seem correct?
If you're using persistent connections, you should expect to see one connection per process, so that 104 could well be right. That's more dependent on how your PHP is deployed.
The server has a total of 25 apache processes so that really doesn't seem right..
Are you using Apache Prefork with mod_php or php-fpm?
Prefork mod_php
We may have to check that out. If you don't mind, can you run a netstat -a at the server side? It'd be interesting to see what state those connections are in. Perhaps we're counting CLOSE_WAIT state connections. We don't have any open issues with a leak.
Hello, I am trying to use the client and I am receiving the segmentation fault as well. Mountain Lion.
These are the steps I have followed.
wget http://packages.couchbase.com/releases/2.0.0-beta/couchbase-server-community_x86_64_2.0.0-beta.zip
(2) Unpacked and copied CouchBase Server.app in my Applications folder
(3) Installed libcouchbase. I have tried both the upcoming version, like
brew install https://github.com/couchbase/homebrew/raw/preview/Library/Formula/libcouchbase.rb
, and also the stable version
brew install https://github.com/couchbase/homebrew/raw/stable/Library/Formula/libcouchbase.rb
(4) Downloaded binary and unpacked it:
wget http://packages.couchbase.com/clients/php/php-ext-couchbase-1.1.0-dp5-ma... xzf php-ext-couchbase-1.1.0-dp5-macosx-x86_64.tar.gz
(5) Copied couchbase.so to the extensions folder
sudo cp php-ext-couchbase/couchbase.so /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626
(6) Restarted Apache
sudo apachectl restart
A simple script like
$cb = new Couchbase('127.0.0.1:8091', 'Administrator', 'mypassword', 'beer-sample', false); $cb->set("a", 1);
gives me
[Mon Dec 10 22:44:52 2012] [notice] child pid 40575 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
P.S. The forum does not help me in posting code without making html code for links on my behalf.
can you verify with the stable release out now: http://www.couchbase.com/develop/php/current and the corresponding new version of libcouchbase (http://www.couchbase.com/develop/c/current) - 2.0.1
Thank you for the quick reply.
I will try the new suggested libraries and come back to you with the results.
I have followed your instructions and used the new libraries, using the steps described below. I confirm everything is working ok now. Thanks!

This holiday season some parents are going high-tech and getting their child a watch that tracks their every move. It's called the FiLIP: a watch and phone with GPS geared at kids aged 4 to 11 -- basically before they are ready for a smart phone.
Parents can program up to five numbers into the gadget, which kids can call with the touch of a button. Using the FiLIP app, parents and other preauthorized adults can track the child's location, make calls, send texts and set "SafeZones." Parents get an alert when a child leaves a safe zone.
"What we learned after doing a lot of interviews with families, with moms dads and kids, is that they would like to have some of the sophisticated technology of a smartphone but take away some of the features like internet access," Kirbak says.
The FiLIP was named after the CEO's son, who went missing and was found at a mall 4 years ago.

The agency opens a proceeding that asks the public to comment on proposals that help it reassert authority for regulating broadband.
The FCC moves forward at its meeting with items for its National Broadband Plan, but it does not mention the sticky issue of broadband reclassification.
The major U.S. providers say reclassifying broadband as a utility would cost billions and result in slow speeds and fewer choices for consumers.
Activists have already swayed debate over the FCC's proposed rules. Now they plan to show up at FCC headquarters Thursday for the agency's meeting.
A proposal to the FCC puts a new twist on the old idea of "reclassifying" broadband traffic to ensure that the new Net neutrality rules will stick.
Ubisoft's hacking game gets reclassified from MA15+ thanks to "references to sexual violence and sex scenes".
The company highlights key points in its well-known position on protecting a free and open Internet. But it also offered suggestions on how to protect consumers.
The company says that Watch Dogs' move from MA15+ to R18+ is thanks to "additional content".
The FCC voted 3-2 to allow comments on a proposal that would reinstate regulations over how Internet traffic is treated by Internet service providers.
In attempt to keep Net open to all, bill would require FCC to adopt rule that prevents formation of so-called "Internet fast lane."

- Comprehensive Research Report Surveys Seven Auto Makers to Determine Overall Connected Car Usability, Puts Nissan Atop Several Key Categories -
SEATTLE, July 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Airbiquity Inc., the global leader in connected car services, today announced that one of its marquee customers, Nissan Motor Corporation, was recognized by research firm SBD for the usability of its NissanConnectSM Mobile Apps connected car system. Airbiquity's Choreo™ connected car service delivery platform powers NissanConnect Mobile Apps and its global deployment now encompasses nine Nissan models. SBD is a UK-based independent, technical, and market research consultancy specializing in automotive security, connected car telematics, and driver assistance systems. In partnership with US-based research firm Morpace, the two companies conducted an independent, in-car usability test observing U.S. consumers performing a variety of tasks on seven different automotive models to better understand the relative usability of their connected car systems.
Among the findings, SBD rated NissanConnect Mobile Apps highest among all automotive manufacturers across three important categories: 1) "Setup" which describes how easy it is to setup the car to access services, 2) "Communicate" which describes how well the system allows a user to connect with the world outside the car, and 3) "Stay informed" which describes how well the system provides information such as news to the user. In addition to scoring highest in these three benchmarked categories, the SBD survey also indicates that 91% of the users surveyed found the Airbiquity-powered NissanConnect Mobile Apps system to be "easy/very easy to use." A full copy of the report can be purchased on the SBD site here.
"The connected car is quickly becoming a reality for new vehicles and their drivers. However, we have to recognize that this is cutting edge technology, and consumers can get frustrated with the usability of these systems as they develop. It's terrific to see SBD bring forth independent research with this kind of discipline and rigor to help the automotive industry improve connected car technology" said Scott Frank, Airbiquity Vice President of Marketing. "Airbiquity believes strongly in the power of connected car technology and user experience. This report verifies that by finding more than half of users surveyed were more likely to buy a Nissan because of their experience with NissanConnect Mobile Apps."
"Technology fragmentation and the pressure to offer more apps and services is making it increasingly hard for automakers to offer a singular user experience for in-car infotainment systems" explains Andrew Hart, SBD Head of Advanced Research. "One of the reasons the 2014 Nissan Altima with NissanConnect Mobile Apps scored well within our study is because of the seamless and consistent integration between apps and the rest of the system."
Airbiquity's Choreo connected car services delivery platform enables automotive OEMs to globally deploy, manage, and dynamically update differentiated connected car programs for their customers from the cloud. Choreo serves over 4 million vehicles around the world and supports hundreds of millions of vehicle transactions per month for leading automotive OEMs such as Nissan, Ford, Renault, Fiat, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and SRT. Driver Experience, Airbiquity's latest product offering, was launched in 2013 and began providing infotainment delivery for Nissan North American Altima and Rogue vehicles.
Airbiquity believes it's imperative to ensure the increasing availability of technology, infotainment, and services in the car does not interfere with driver safety. Therefore Airbiquity built technology and policy management controls inside the Choreo platform to ensure speech recognition and text-to-voice capabilities are engaged and select application features disabled when a vehicle is in motion. This allows drivers to enjoy personal applications, cloud content, and services inside their connected cars without taking their eyes off the road. Choreo also enables other driver safety and convenience features like remote vehicle tracking and monitoring, geo-fencing, and automatic crash notifications.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11)-- September is known for ushering in the latest and greatest from auto manufacturers and if you find yourself in the showroom eyeing a new set of wheels you may want to take a few things into consideration.
Consumer Reports recommend doing some research before you head to the dealership. Get an idea of what you are looking for in a new car. Decide on a model, trim level, the options available and a price.
Browse dealerships to see which one is offering a price that sounds appealing.
Getting pre-approved for a loan is proactive, and if you are financing through the dealership it is recommended to walk into the negotiation with knowledge of competitive interest rates.
When you are at the dealership, don't buy unnecessary extras, on occasion, these will be pre-printed on a sales contract, so make sure to read carefully.
Don't be tempted by the extended warranty if it isn't a necessity. Familiarize yourself with the vehicle's reliability record and decide if it is necessary.
Bring a calculator and do your own math, check the dealer's numbers and make sure that they match your own.
Be prepared to walk out. Consumer Reports say that showing a willingness to walk away can be effective in getting you the deal, and the wheels, that you want.
If you have a consumer tip, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

ATLANTA (AP) - Law enforcement agencies in Georgia are joining a nationwide crackdown on drunk driving over the Fourth of July holiday.
The Governor's Office of Highway Safety says the national celebration is 1 of the most dangerous holidays on Georgia roads. In the past two years, the state has averaged 88 alcohol-impaired crashes during the period from July 3-5.
Law enforcement agencies across the state are partnering to launch their annual Operation Zero Tolerance campaign.
As of Thursday, the state had seen 520 traffic fatalities this year. That's up 4% from 499 last year on June 20.
This year's Operation Zero Tolerance campaign starts Friday and runs through July 7.

I just noticed this post about some rather clever bike-advocacy shirts at Carectomy and order usa viagra online thought to myself "53 Miles per Burrito is a really excellent slogan...but it's also a really excellent point." The question becomes...is the american viagra human body actually more efficient than an automobile and, if so...why?
A little bit of research tells us that riding a light-weight bicycle consumes about 35 calories per mile. Walking consumes about 100 calories per mile and is, of course, considerably slower.
Driving a car ends up consuming 1,800 calories per mile. This sure makes one think twice about biofuel, doesn't it?
I try to eat about 2,000 calories per day. If that food was converted to www.animationnation.com biofuel (as most of buy cheap viagra it could, since most of it is carbohydrates) it would drive a car less than a mile. But if I use it to bike, I could go 57 miles!
So the question remains, how many miles can I extract from a burrito. Well? You may be surprised to discover this, but a Chipotle burrito with beef, beans, cheese, sour cream and guacamole, comes in at an astounding 1,300 calories. Bust a gut with one of viagra sale buy those and you'll find enough energy to travel 37 miles. If it were gasoline instead of a burrito, those same calories wouldn't even get you a full mile.
So why is the human body so much more efficient than automobiles?
It turns out that they aren't that much more efficient. Car engines aren't superbly efficient, that's for sure. But what's much more inefficient is the fact that 95% of the net weight of a car is car...only 5% is the driver. With a bike, the equation is shifted significantly toward the weight of the driver, not the vehicle. Only 65 of the 1800 calories used to move the car are used to move the driver. The rest is used to move the doors and the roof and the airbags and the cup holders around with you.
But still, bicycling comes out on top. Our bodies turn out to be almost two times better at converting calories to motion than cars.
Sometimes, if you want to jaygalbraith.com see some powerful environmental technology, you don't have to look any further than your big beefy quadriceps.

It's always hard to viagra in spain tell what happens when you start taking external costs into account. But it's important to note that gasoline has to be extracted, shipped over oceans, refined, shipped to your local station and THEN you have to go to the gas station (in your car) to pick it up. Food you can acquire while on foot (or bike) :-)

Which is why I am a fan of prescription tramadol buy cheap vehicles like the Aerorider.
Regular Gasoline has 34,800,000 J per L
1 Calorie = 4.184 J
1,000 calories = 1 Kilo-Calorie or food calorie.
1 L of Gas has ~8,317.4 food calories
For Gasoline:
1,800 food calories per mile is ~4.62 miles per L
1 L = 0.26417 Gallons ( US )
1,800 food calories per mile ~17.5 Miles per Gallon
so while true for some vehicles... many other will use less.
Also ~9 food calories per gram of human fat.
1 Pound of Fat has ~4,090 food calories.

Burritos don't spring fully formed from the ground into our hands (unfortunately... that would be quite handy on some rushed days).
Naturally, the energy of extraction, transportation and processing of petroleum has to be taken into account in this comparison. However this is a pretty small proportion of cialis low cost the overall energy in the original crude (one of the reasons oil has... in the past... been such an attractive and cheap way to www.tevaka.com provide power). Maybe 20% or less of the original energy in the crude.

It is relevant if you're going to try to figure out how many miles/burrito you can go on a bicycle.
It is not relevant to the question if it is better to drive or bike.

Even a poor, inefficient diet is better than the gas-based status quo. Plus there's dramatically less pollution, necessary infrastructure, and fat people.

Not to say cars are efficient, or all humans are fueled by such high-order foods, but sheer distance/calorie isn't all that should be considered.
Oh, and in that comparison, bicycles win again.

Bikes are great on level flat short distant trips, but who would want to travel across the country on a bike, or cross town in a big city, how about in the snow, in your best suit as your important project is strapped for dear life across your back in the middle of a big downpour.

The second is that I have been reading so much about the different types of fuels we are putting in our cars, and which ones are good or not, yet we don't care what we put in our bodies. And as this slogan suggests, it is very important. Imagine if our whole country not only relied on our body more, but tried to make it as optimal as possible by eating organically and healthily.
Just like greenhouse gases are polluting our atmosphere, we are polluting our bodies with 97% of our food supply.

One of the most important efficiency differences between car transport and transport by means of walking or cycling, is the amount of weight being transported. Common cars outweigh a normal person by about twenty fold!
This weight to efficiency comparison doesn't hold completely if one is to bring in the air resistance, which is very much higher in a car driving at 60 miles an hour compared to a person walking at 4 miles an hour. The car also uses much more energy there.
Lowering the buy viagra cheap online weight of the car will of course not increase the efficiency of its engine, but most definitely will increase the efficiency per mile.

Yet, us cyclists (commuters, not going to say racers nor triatheletes cause they all drive to events)
get crapped on by those in vehicles.
When we should be thanked!
Thanked for not:
polluting their air
stealing oil from thier children
using up taxes all that much (roads and infrastructure, policing etc...)
1000000 reasons why to bike
1000000000000 reasons why we should not drive.
yet we get crapped on.
Must be justification for the masses to drive...
cause we are easy prey.

UNDATED (WSAU-Wheeler News) The third-largest jackpot in Powerball history will be up for grabs on Wednesday night. It jumped to $350-million, after nobody won the top prize on Saturday night.
One player from Wisconsin won $40,000 by having the Power Play option, and matching four regular numbers plus the Powerball. Another ticket sold in the Badger State won $10,000 the same way, but without the Power Play. Almost 26,000 players in Wisconsin won something. Half of those won four-dollars just by matching the Powerball.
Saturday's numbers were 6, 13, 19, 23, and 43. The Powerball was 16.
The jackpot is the game's biggest since last November, when two winners split a $587-million prize. The cash option for Wednesday night is almost $223-million, for a single winner who takes the whole prize now instead of in 30 annual installments.
In Mega Millions, the jackpot is at $170-million for tomorrow night.

Attitude of Gratitude
"MOOOOOMMM...Please....Mom! Why can't I have it? WHY? WHY CAN'T I HAVE THIS....THING, that I desperately need?"
Most trips to stores, from the supermarket to the gas station mini-mart, end this way now. No, they actually end with me shutting down his request and him sulking or crying most of the way home.
Nothing my son does infuriates me more. I can live with him eating only melted cheese and his obsession with Pokemon, but a lack of appreciation drives me nuts. Clearly, I am failing him as a mother, raising the human equivalent of a rotten tomato.
I don't want him turning out like me.
I have a beautiful life by any standards. A loving marriage, two healthy boys, enough money for food, gas and a good haircut, and yet there are still days when I find myself eyeing a luxury hybrid car or fantasizing about a bigger bedroom with, say, an adjacent office overlooking the Pacific and wondering, "Why don't I have that?"
I struggle with my "material restlessness" too much, and having it mirrored back to me in my child cuts right through me.
More than anything, I want to teach my children to be happy and not always looking over their shoulder at what they don't have.
Teach by example, right?
Dani Klein Modisett is the mom of two boys, and the creator/producer of Afterbirth...Stories You Won't Read in Parents Magazine.
Hello Mrs. Klein,
I found this site just 15 minutes ago while working out on the treadmill and watching the Today Show.
Does your son attend preschool? Does he attend church with a Sunday school class. Does his Dad take him to Cub Scout meetings? Have you sought out any parenting classes, even online ones? Raising a child is never easy and these days many children get babysitting in front of the television watching cartoon shows. God Bless You as you work through a richer relationship with your son and family.

"The highlights of March Paris Fashion week 2012 were the Givenchy show, with Ricardo Tisci's all-the-more-empowered vision of woman; and Haider Ackermann, whose show at the Hotel de Ville was simply impeccable. Catherine Baba's Jewelry presentation for GRIPOIX at Lapérouse was a moment of pure "J'Adoration." Victoire de Castellane made us all forget that our feet hurt with the help of Kid Creole and the Coconuts (who were all dressed by Fifi Chachnil) for the Celebration of "My Dior" her new fine jewelry collection.
At the end of the week, I popped into the new RA Boutique to meet with Anna, Romain and his precious puppy. The beautiful shop, located in the haut Marais at 14 rue de la Corderie 75003, includes a stage that left me dreaming of future projects for RA. RA Paris will host events, readings, performance artists and the most intimate of fashion shows. I was happy to see my Veneration Feather Tickler so beautifully displayed alongside the Sado–Chic series in a coffin-shaped window!"

Dear Thomson Families,
Survey says: Over the last five months we have invited families to complete a Travel Survey and over 500 families have participated. It confirms what we hear every day on the phone: travel is an integral part of our lives. Despite the challenges of these economic times, families are still finding ways to fit travel into their schedules and budgets. Almost 70% of the families said they are travelling as much, if not more than, before. It is a valuable way of being together, separate from our busy day-to-day lives. Rather than plopping on a beach somewhere, families continue to seek enrichment together through cultural interactions, community service and learning. Our values exactly!
Read on, and happy adventuring!
Since we are the family travel specialists, we always pay close attention to what families are up to, and we've cleverly caught on to what your life is like this year - it's all about the last minute! Yes, we still have people calling to reserve for April. So now that it's SPRING it must be time to think about your SUMMER vacation plans. Luckily we're right here with you, ready to make last minute plans happen without a hitch. Here are some adventures with other families who would love to have you join them:
Alaska July 18 with kids ages 10, 14 and 15
China June 13 with five teens ages 12 - 16, or August 8 with six children ages 10 - 13
Costa Rica for Teens June 20 with 12 and 13 year old boys
Costa Rica Art Trip June 20 - join a cool art teacher and a family with an 11 year old girl
Galapagos for Teens June 26 - all boys! Ages 12 - 15 or July 25, ages 15 - 19 (girls included)
Turkey June 27 with six kids 8 - 15 (only 2 spaces available)
Let us teach you! We are going to run an exciting beta adventure to Guatemala this summer. Explore its magical highlights from the ancient Mayan ruins of Tikal to the forest of Ixpanpajul (try that!) to the Spanish colonial city of Antigua. We'll visit a lively market, see volcanoes, a working coffee farm, a local school, and more. Come discover the vibrant colors and flavors of Guatemala with Thomson Family Adventures. Want to go? Give us your date and we'll do the rest. Panajachel, anyone?
Did you know we are sister company to Thomson Safaris? Thomson Safaris has been running top-rated safaris to Tanzania for almost thirty years. With more wildlife than any other African country, and scores of native tribes living peacefully together, this is the place to go to witness life in the bush. We are prepared to show you the best that Tanzania has to offer while keeping you safe and comfortable along the way. It is a great adventure for all ages! Do you need more action? Try our new active safari, for families with children ages 11 and up. Now you can see outstanding wildlife, immerse yourself in the culture, do some community service - and get some exercise too!
We've been sending families to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands for years, and quickly learned what works for families - our winning combination of exploring the Ecuadorian Highlands with a three or four night cruise in the islands. The Explorer II is arguably the nicest boat for families in the Galapagos. With its spacious suite-cabins, good service, wonderful food, and space for your children to move about, it is hands down the winner for families.

We don't have humidity issues here in CA, we're actually in a severe drought - so drying should be fine, if anything it would be too fast. With a high grog content on other porosity added to the clay body, the pieces will dry out even better at the core where it's most important.
The piece will be a big relief that starts with a base around 3-4" thick. It will likely get both carved and added to. Piece will get cut up and put on boards (or will already be cut into tiles beforehand) and then onto ware carts for drying. Whole cart will be under a plastic sheet to slow it down. Anything not fitting on the carts I'm going to have to rig up some sort of elevation system to get airflow under the work like Marcia mentioned with the sticks, only with multiple levels due to volume of work and because many carts will be occupied with student work. I don't like to push force drying too fast, but bringing the carts into the heated building will help, as will force drying in the kiln if need be. It'll likely take a month for the work to dry enough for firing is my guess.
Firing will be in downdraft gas kilns, fired over the period of perhaps a week and cooled over several days as well. With the thickness, it will likely need down-firing to keep from cracking in cooling. Individual pieces will be flat on the backside, so they will all get propped up on balls of kiln wadding (equal parts silica grog kaolin) when placed in the kiln.
This has all happened really fast and I dunno who's idea it was to at the last minute decide to have this huge ceramic piece/demo as part of the event. This is not really one of those things you take a last minute approach like this, but we're doing it. If anything, this will be a big, fun experiment with tons of clay! It will get lots of documentation, no worries there

After the September 2013 floods in Colorado, the Lyons Community Montessori (LCM) school closed its doors. This was tragic news for the parents and children who were already fragile from their experiences with the flood and who simply wanted to get back into a normal routine. Seeing this need, a group of parents from LCM began working together to start a new Montessori-based preschool. Heartened by the community's optimism and emboldened by the size of the task at hand, parents got to work.

Q. What kind of questions do I ask potential spa staff?
A. A thorough interviewing process is a must for hiring any type of staff. Consultants advise communicating the culture of the spa to the candidate on the first interview, and finding out about his or her own goals, education and experience. Clearly define the responsibilities and expectations of the position he or she is applying for, as well as how the spa will support them through advanced education or otherwise. For a second interview, says Canavino, ask potential managers how they would handle specific situations and confrontations. Have a potential esthetician perform a service on a staff member, and observe how she communicates with the client. What questions does she ask in the consultation? How does she guide the client through the process? How does she close the sale? How does she ensure that the client returns? Let the candidates know they will be doing this beforehand, so they have time to prepare.
If the candidate makes it to the third and final interview, discuss the employee manual and how they feel about policies and procedures. Don't rush it, says Canavino. The more you talk to a person, the better understanding you'll have of whether she'll fit in your culture. A recent grad may be an easy fit, but you'll have to provide a broad education program when she joins your staff. Conversely, experienced technicians will need less training, but it's imperative they work within your culture, not that of their previous employer.
Q. What kind of retail program should I have for skin care?
A. The standard is 10-percent commission on retail sales, says Canavino, or you can do a sliding scale if you want to go higher. To get clients hooked, factor the price of a skin care starter kit into a treatment so clients have something to take home. Educate the esthetician on ways to recommend products so she doesn't feel like she's selling, and structure promotions so there is always something new to catch the eye. "Another key is compensating the front desk for retail sales, although the commission might not be as high. Receptionists sell to walk-ins and must close the sale if the esthetician is busy or not willing to sell."
Q.How often do skin care professionals need continuing education?
A. Education should be ongoing, as things change so rapidly in skin care. The skin care line you carry should have an education program, says Canavino, and there are schools that offer CEU credits, as well as classes at various shows and events. "Get copies of every CEU credit your staff gets and keep it in their files so you know they are all up to date." Put a certain percentage of their retail or service dollars toward an education account for each employee, or match their education spending dollar for dollar.
Adapted from "The Business of Skin Care," originally published in Salon Today, September 2007.

China boasts of shale gas reserves
March 2, 2012 by Spencer Cameron
BEIJING, March 2 (UPI) — The Chinese government said there are trillions of cubic feet of exploitable shale gas reserves in the country but it lacks the technology to explore it fully.
The Chinese Ministry of Land and Resources said there was an estimated 886 trillion cubic feet of natural gas deposits in onshore shale reserves.
"China is rich in shale-gas resources, which are suitable for scaled development," the ministry said in a statement. "But the geological conditions are complex and our exploration technology, which lags behind advanced countries, requires innovation."
The ministry said it discovered shale natural gas reserves in exploration blocks that could hold significant volumes of reserves. The country aims to start developing shale by 2015, though there are no commercial shale gas developments yet in China.
Beijing aims to add more natural gas to its energy mix in an effort to control pollution. Shale gas could play a dominant role by 2020 if reserve estimates meet expectations, the government said.
China Petroleum Corp. announced recently it landed a $900 million deal with U.S. energy company Devon to tap into shale natural gas reserves in the United States.

Growth and Recovery a la Mexicana
Federico is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Mexico has been going through an array of fundamental transformations, fueled by institutional and economic changes. As a matter of fact, the CAGR of its GDP per capita was 4.31% - one of the highest in Latin America – and the CAGR of private consumption between 1995 and 2011 was above 8.5%. The European crisis was not enough to pause Mexico's growth prospects: the IMF expects its GDP to grow by 3.8% in 2012 and 3.5% in 2013. All of the above, plus a tight relationship with the US economy, which is going through an accelerating recovery, makes me want to take a look at some of Mexico's biggest equities. Lets take a look and decide if we should buy or avoid three big names on the Mexican market.
FEMSA (NYSE: FMX) is the biggest Coca-Cola bottler in the world, owns a large amount of convenience stores, and 20% of beer brewer Heineken. Besides all this, it just got into the drugstore business. At a current market cap of $32.7 billion, the company trades at x25 P/E and x2 price to sales. The price seems fair for a company that, during Q3 2012, has increased net profits ($269 million) by 53.5% and grew sales by 20.3% Year over Year (YoY).
But the problems are not to be found in the numbers--the problem is strategy. Its natural for a company like FMX to intend to make acquisitions, but FMX is venturing beyond its circle of competence. Acquiring a chain of 300 drugstores is a bad signal for shareholders. When buying a consumer goods company that produces so much cash, your eyes should be on how management directs those cash flows. The dividend yield is around 1.5%, so money is not going into shareholder's pockets. I would not buy FMX. Bad strategy can damage even great businesses.
America Movil (NYSE: AMX) is the golden goose that made Carlos Slim one of the richest men in the world. The company is Latin America's largest wireless service provider, with operations from Mexico to Argentina. Fundamentals, in opposition to its European peers, remain solid, and there is plenty of room for value added services to grow and expand ARPU (value added services are growing at 40% yearly rates). The company has high returns on invested capital (17%), EBITDA margins remain above 34%, and leverage is at a healthy x1.2 EBITDA. For a company that has a clear view on strategy, AMX is a great stable investment at x11 P/E and x5.5 EV/EBITDA, but I don't see the price taking off until dividends start to be lifted up – today AMX pays a 1.3% dividend. Great buy and low risk, but you wont become Slim with this investment yet.
CEMEX (NYSE: CX) is the global cement manufacturer, with operations in North America, Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia. As the long region list implies, CX over leveraged to make acquisitions during the real estate boom, and now its on the final steps of a painful de-leverage process. With this aim, CX recently sold 29% of its LatAm division, raising over $1.1 billion (implied valuation at x9 EV/EBITDA). This helped CX reduce its net debt to EBITDA to x5.5 from x6.0 and keep its 2014 target of x4.5. The company's exposure to markets with growth potential like the recovering US market (where CX is making 29% of its EBITDA and cement volumes are expected to grow by 13%), Asia (where cement volume growth is expected to be 12%) and the booming LatAm should give shareholders tremendous upside. The 2013 x8.5 EV/EBITDA multiple and negative net earnings for 2012 shouldn't scare investors. This is a good bet with the right strategy at the end of an existential crisis. Risks are hig,h but potential rewards are even greater.
When going into Emerging Market (EM) equities, you need to beware of different managements and keep an eye on strategy before picking your investment.

I agree. This season is a season where Jr has the opportunity to become very relevant again. I believe that the Organization is making the right steps to make that happen.
The first half of last year, Jr drove terrible cars and made many mental mistakes.
The second half of last year. Jr's cars became inconsistantly fast again. The performance of the cars at time's was noticeably different than those drove earlier in the year. Most noteworthy were Chassis that were built from the ground up by Mcgrew.
The second half of the year Jr and that team were snake bit. There are too many instances that stand out in my head from last year that make that apparent. I will also put some of the blame on Jr because there are also instances that stick out in my mind that were Jr's own fault, such as riding too close to the wall at Homestead.
It was said that Darian Grubb was a huge part of the 88 cars speed in 2008. When Grubb left for SHR, the performance completely fell off. It is well documented by Lance McGrew and Mark Martin that the 88/5 cars have never ran as 1 "team" as does the 24/48.
I do believe that combining the engineering efforts of the 88/5 cars will make a huge difference in the speed of Dale Jr's cars this year. Having Chris Heroy focusing on the 88 will make a huge difference. Afterall with this new car, Engineering is probably the biggest difference maker in terms of how fast the cars unload and run all weekend long.
I understand that all the Jr hater's will probably say that I am full of Bull. Maybe I am. All I know is that I hope to the racing gods that Jr can win atleast 2 races next year and keep the discussion going about wether Jr is a talent that just cant catch a break, or a has been that will continue to execute mediocrity at it's best. All While raking in a lot of $$$$ of course!
