This gives the keypad the capability to monitor and display the temperature, shown on the 2nd line of the GEMINI custom alpha keypad. The temperature outside the home or inside room temperature can be displayed depending upon where the TEMP64 module is mounted. Before leaving their home, for example a family would know to add a hat or scarf or if leaving for the day, to turn down the thermostat before exiting.

If you've been thinking about getting a Nexus 4, then Google just made your decision easier. They've generously slashed $100 from the price of their flagship smartphone, bringing the price of the Nexus 4 down to $199 for the 8GB version and down to $249 for the 16GB version. Talk about a crazy deal!
Few smartphone companies make the moves that Google does, so when they do, you've got to pay attention so you don't miss out. The Nexus 4 has specs that still hold up a year after its release, with its 4.7-inch 1280 x 768 resolution display, 1.5 GHz quad-core processor, and 2GB of RAM.

The School of Engineering seeks to provide the best educational experiences, both in Brooklyn and beyond, for its undergraduate students. As a part of this effort, four exchange programs have been established to allow School of Engineering students to take their education to the global level. Students will work with their academic adviser prior to departure to develop a course plan and determine applicably of courses towards their degree.
All courses at the participating schools are taught in English. Students participating in the semester abroad programs through these universities will pay New York University tuition and will be responsible for their own travel, housing and other cost-of-living expenses.
Students interested in any of these semester abroad exchange programs must have completed at least 32 credits at the School of Engineering with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.2. Interested students must complete the application form and send it to the Office of Undergraduate Academics no later than four months before the start of the semester that they wish to study abroad.
The School of Engineering has partnered with Management Center Innsbruck (MCI) of Austria, ranked #1 in Austria for student satisfaction, to allow the School of Engineering students to study abroad for one semester in Innsbruck, Austria. Students who go to MCI will complete a full semester course-load with courses in engineering, technology and the sciences.
Since its foundation in 1829, the École Centrale Paris has followed the same calling: training engineers capable of meeting the greatest challenges of their era. Centrale seeks to create "three- dimensional" engineers: engineers that are high-level scientific and technical generalists, experts in initiating and piloting innovative projects and with a strong international culture. Students who study at Centrale will have the opportunity to participate in any of their course offerings.
Opened in 2008, the Felix Klein Center for Mathematics provides an exceptional opportunity to excel in interdisciplinary research and mathematical transfer of knowledge to industry and society. The Center offers a combination of the widely recognized and outstanding teaching and research programs of the Department of Mathematics of the University of Kaiserslautern, and the open-to-the-world and practically oriented projects of the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics.
In addition to a semester abroad program, the University of Kaiserslautern offers a summer research program abroad. The purpose of this program is to allow selected qualified students to conduct scholarly research at the host institution. Students will be provided room and board as a part of the summer research exchange program.
Dankook University, the first four-year private college since Korea's independence, was established in 1947 based on the ideal that the fundamentals of education lie in serving one's country and maximizing the potential of individuals. Under the founding mottoes of "National Salvation, Independence and Self Reliance," as well as the guiding principles of "Truth and Service," Dankook University carries out its missions of grooming young talent and facilitating academic advancement. Located in Jukjeon, Dankook offers a variety of programs through their colleges, including their College of Engineering. The School of Engineering students may study at Dankook for an academic semester.

Read! Build! Play!
Published on Wednesday, May 1, 2013 - 2:48pm
Come join us every Friday in May from 11 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. for DUPLO playtime!
PLAY is one of the five activities identified as important to building early literacy skills by the Association of Library Services to Children. Through play, children can strengthen their imagination, creativity, storytelling and narrative skills, and fine motor skills -- all elements that are crucial to becoming strong readers and writers!
So please join us in the Children's Room for DUPLO playtime! The blocks are safe for children of all ages. We will provide the blocks, a place to play, and a selection of books to take with you when you go.
Early Literacy Suggestions:
- Play with your child: Playing together will strengthen the bond between child and caregiver.
- Ask your child questions as they play. For example: "What are you building?" "What colors are you using?"
- Encourage storytelling by asking narrative questions. For example: If the child builds an animal you might ask: "What is your animal's name?" "What is your animal doing?" "What does your animal like to eat?" or "What will he do next? Why?"
- Build comprehension skills by starting with one of our recommended books, and then asking the child to build something from the story!
This program is a product of a partnership between the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) and LEGO.

This is a bit late, but here are some shots from Bob Herbert's visit to campus. I had a toothache and had been popping painkillers for so many weeks that it became my norm. So when I got to the dinner, I made the faux pas of accepting a glass of wine, forgetting not to mix the two. I spent the dinner woozily making conversation with professors sitting next to me and I can't remember a single thing we talked about.
However, the dinner was exquisite. It was held in the Maxwell Founder's room and there were TWO pieces of steak, which I happily chomped on, root canal be damned. There were also scallops, smashed potatoes and a bed of spinach. I wondered if Bob Herbert was asked to suggest his favorite dessert to the caterers because he wolfed down the banana cake, banana ice cream and syrupy fried banana slices with purpose.
I also got to interview him earlier that day, which was both amazing and flustering. I learned that he never wanted to be a journalist, he wanted to be a playwright. And for as much as he writes about how hard it is to get jobs now, he's never had to apply for a job in his life. In fact, the first time The New York Times offered him a job, he turned them down. Only after they sweetened the deal did he say, OK, I'll be an op-ed columnist for The New York Times. NBD.
For his book, "Wounded Colossus," he said he needed more young people to interview about trouble getting jobs.
"Email me," he said. "In case you know anyone."
Email him?! I was so stunned that as he spelled out his email address, I realized I was just staring at him in wonder.
"Do you have a pen?" he asked.
I floundered around in my chair, still attached to my interview microphone, not sure if I should get a pen because the producer told me earlier, don't move.
"You want to be a journalist and you don't have a pen?" he opened up the flap of his blazer like a thug showing off his glocks. "Look, I carry around three pens! What if a meteorite crashes outside Newhouse right now? What would you write with?"
And that's how I was schooled by Bob Herbert.
Today was the MUCH-awaited Orientation for Newhouse! I got my ID card (thoughts? I think my head looks gigantic) and they gave out presents: engraved 8GB iPod Touches (!) and Newhouse water bottles. We also had the convocation and a trivia contest where I won a t-shirt because they asked which newspaper Robin Toner wrote for! [The New York Times, o'course, killer political correspondent and Newhouse alum!] Then, a lovely lunch where I met some chummy MNO (magazine/newspaper/online journo) kids. We're the biggest of the Newhouse departments this year, breaking the long-standing record of the Broadcast/Digital or TV/Radio/Film kids, can't remember which… I sense a resurgence in print journalistic optimism! #gloat I feel utterly spoiled and can't WAIT for classes to start tomorrow. This will be a seriously ridiculous year and I'm sooo happy to be here!

No one picked the Jefferson Dragons to win the 2012 Class AA football title — not even the Dragons themselves.
"If you asked anyone in our program if we were expecting to win the state championship, we would have looked at you like you were crazy," said Ben Hall, who is entering his first season as head coach after four seasons as an assistant. "We had a magical season. We came together and went on an incredible run."
Jefferson's season started unassumingly with the Dragons falling to Commerce, 22-7, on the road. But that would be their only loss of the season as they would reel off 14 consecutive victories, culminating in a convincing 31-14 win over perennial power Calhoun in the state championship. It was the program's first state championship in school history.
But that was last year. The 2013 Jefferson Dragons' identity is drastically different. Gone is head coach T. McFerrin, who spent four of his 40 coaching seasons at Jefferson, compiling a 39-9 record with the Dragons. McFerrin was the 2012 AJC Class AA coach of the year. Gone is quarterback Bryant Shirreffs, pegged by the AJC as the Class AA offensive player of the year. And gone are staples of the defense, linebackers Wesley Simonton and Kody McDonald — Simonton was the AJC Class AA defensive player of the year and McDonald an honorable mention.
Shirreffs' younger brother, junior Evan, will take over at quarterback.
"We'll have to grow offensively around the strengths of our quarterback," Hall said.
Hall, who played and eventually coached at Furman University, entered the high school coaching ranks with Flowery Branch in 2008 before McFerrin recruited Hall to join the Dragons' staff the following season. Hall was the Dragons' offensive coordinator in 2012. Now he'll face the pressure of leading the follow-up to the best season in program history.
An encore won't be easy. Jefferson's first six games are against 2012 state playoff teams, starting with rival Commerce at home Aug. 30.

I've seen Jefferson's talent grow up from Rec ball, through Middle and into High School. Their Rec ball and Middle school programs are still very good, so 2012 was no fluke. They will be one of the top teams for several more years, in my opinion.

Why I'm Excited For DC Comics' Massive New Movie Plans

This signaled that Warners is serious about building on the success of Man of Steel, and challenging Marvel's comic-book movie ascendancy. And here's why that's a good thing. »

There's going to be immense pressure on the Edmonton Oilers to draft Aaron Ekblad this summer (if he's available), and similar pressure to add a center like Reinhart or Bennett. The guy the Oilers should take a long look at? Another bloody winger!
Jake Virtanen is a right-handed left winger. He's 6.01, 210 and a very late (Aug) 1996 birthday. He's from Abbotsford, which is spitting distance from Nuge's hometown of Burnaby. Virtanen is a fast train and a first shot scorer, and the youngster has some edge to his game. You know I'm a fan of "complete" players, and Virtanen checks off almost everything on the list—he is not (from what I've seen and read) a highly creative player. He can take and make a pass, and play with skill, the best part being his ability to score goals at even strength (Virtanen leads his team with 24, three ahead of Oilers prospect Greg Chase).
The problem for the Oilers is that Virtanen is yet another winger. How on earth can they add another impact winger? I'm not sure, maybe they continue the Hall at center experiment or maybe they cash a winger for a center. I think there's a chance Virtanen is going to find a way into this year's top 5—perhaps behind Ekblad, Reinhart and Bennett and ahead of Draisaitl and Dal Colle.
I mentioned Virtainen previously here.

Retiring legislator fought for women and the working class
Danice Picraux is a pioneer, but don't let her catch you saying that. Born, as she says, at the "head of the baby boom" in 1946, she was raised in the aftershock of World War II. It was a time when, like a rubber band pulled too taut, the nation snapped back to traditional gender roles. The United States fled from the cultural phenomenon of women working during wartime. Returning to pre-war gender norms with a glaze of extremism, the '50s model of the powdered, curled and aproned white housewife was born.

We pay the highest in the country. Sales tax on every gallon
of gas we buy up and down California. You can thank our
lawmakers in Sacramento and then Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger for
making it law back in 2010. It's an excise tax that lawmakers can
increase every year.
And, starting July First, another 3 cents per gallon is now
added to each gallon of gas.
This latest tax increase brings the total state sales tax to
39 and a half cents per gallon. Then, add in the federal tax, and it adds up to
72 cents a gallon, all going towards taxes. That is the highest in the country.
A little under half of what you pay at the pumps per gallon goes for taxes and
fees, and not for the actual cost of crude oil that's' refined into

Barsa Swony Choudhury, an alleged dowry torture victim and daughter-in-law of a former minister, was reportedly threatened in a letter with acid attack if she tried to enter politics.
The incident, the fifth such recorded event in Bihar in the past 14 months, came just over six months after the Supreme Court directed state governments to put in place stringent measures to curb such attacks.
Women and child development minister Krishna Tirath today said her ministry is in favour of providing free surgery and treatment to acid attack victims even in private hospitals.

Last summer Aston Villa were in town to play Chicago Fire in a friendly, so Section 8 Chicago and Villa supporters decided to play in a small friendly themselves. I was lucky enough to get in on the action, which took place on Toyota Park's practice field. It was a great time and the combination of supporters really reminded me of what this game is all about - beauty, community, friendship - the love of a shared sport.
In less than two hours I'll be playing in a similar friendly against Aston Villa supporters that was organized by this super awesome guy, who is for a the Chicago group of Aston Villa Supporters <—- may not have phrased that properly, but you get the gist.
Either way, happy Friday! Hope you're all getting a little footy action on during your weekend.
Wish me luck!
Footy love, nikhak
p.s. I'm on the left hand side of this pic (first row, white shorts) - looking down and the goofy fella laying down in front with a beer in hand. What better way to end a match!?
nikhak: Soon Section 8 Chicago will be the most disliked group of supporters in MLS. I'm entertained by the tweets right now because i'm not at the draft. If I were there, I'd likely be embarrassed. For now, I'll enjoy a few laughs.
Footy love.
Another weekend spent with my sister and friends at Toyota Park. For once in a long while, it's actually exciting to go to matches again - the Fire have been playing significantly better than they have the last couple of seasons and have been notching a lot more W's on the board.
Also, second place in the Eastern Conference and third place overall. Not baddddd, guys.
What are your hopes for the end of the MLS season?

One year ago yesterday, my late father was inducted into the Chicago Fire's Wall of Honor. Thanks to the Fire for helping create such a wonderful memory of my dad and for all those who supported us through it. A red heart can never be broken. ♥
Going to away Chicago Fire games is always exciting, but this particular trip was even more exciting than previous ones - we were in a fabulous city, playing at a historic stadium (Stade olympique), and Montreal Impact were playing their first ever home game in MLS.
If you've never been to an away game for your club then you might not know that before the match all the traveling supporters meet with one another in a designated area to pick up tickets and walk into the stadium together as a group. An unbelievable atmosphere of camaraderie is created when an away group walks into the stadium together, whether it is 25, 300, or 1,000 supporters, the unique experience is almost indescribable. While hooliganism isn't a word tossed around when talking about the MLS, it only takes one person from the home or away club to start a little controversy, so walking in as a group also helps as a security measure - this is usually just an extra safety measure on top of official security that is often provided by the home club.
This game wasn't any different. Most Section 8 Chicago members (#S8OT - Section 8 On Tour) met at the Viau subway station just outside the stadium. (Let me tell you what a luxury it was to be able to take the train directly to the stadium, since in Chicago - I mean Bridgeview, IL - we don't have a quick public transit route to games at Toyota Park.) From the station we all walked the short distance to the stadium together where we met with other S8 folks, who drove to the game. The horn was played, chants were sung, and we all waited for Montreal security to let us into the stadium.
When we were finally allowed into the stadium we found ourselves purchasing $7 coors light and potato chips. I guess they wanted to keep all the tasty pizza slices, nachos, and hot dogs to themselves! In a dark corner of the stadium we sat surrounded by security and realized that if we sat in the actual seats assigned to us that we wouldn't be able to see one of the goals on the field. (Thanks, Impact.) Luckily, security kept Impact fans out of the section next to us, so we were able to spread ourselves out a bit and keep our eye on the goal that Oduro would later score on.
The game overall wasn't an exciting one. Montreal had more attacking opportunities against the Fire in the first half, splitting our defense on numerous occasions. Luckily, Paolo Tornaghi, who was debuting in his first official Fire match, was able to keep a clean sheet in the first half. In the 56th minute Impact scored their first goal on home turf in league history with a cross from Sanna Nyassi that was headed in by Davy Arnaud. Montreal held the lead for 15 minutes, but Dominic Oduro netted a tying goal in the 71st minute of play, which was assisted by Sebastian Grazzini. Luckily a shot from Montreal in the final seconds of the game smacked the crossbar (or was it the post), which saved the fire from a loss and gave both teams their first point of the 2012 season. (Game highlights here.)
The atmosphere at Olympic Stadium wasn't as impressive as I was expecting. From the corner we were sitting in, it was nearly impossible to hear the chants from Montreal's supporters, though their visual display, bouncing, and clapping was exciting to watch at moments. A few members of their supporters' group did come over to our group and introduced themselves by shaking each of our hands, which I thought was a classy gesture in comparison to those dressed as leprechauns, who were continuously trying to heckle us. Overall though, the Montreal fans were not as loud as I anticipated; however, they were certainly exceptional at booing the Fire and doing the wave.
In the end, the trip was a successful one filled with many good memories, as can be expected from the S8OT crew. Thank you to Montreal, my traveling buddies, Chicago Fire, S8OT, and Chicago Fire for another unforgettable experience.
HAPPY REX MANNING DAY! Otherwise known as, the Chicago Fire home opener.
Let's go boys!
Thanks for sharing these, Section 8 Chicago and Pitch Invasion.
This past weekend I traveled to Montreal to support my @ChicagoFire for their first game of the 2012 season and the first MLS home game of Montreal Impact.
Before we, Section 8 Chicago, were allowed into the stadium, we waited outside the concrete walls of Stade olympique where chants were sung in excitement for the match.
I hope to have a more detailed post about my experience at the game posted before the weekend, but until then, enjoy this short video.

American War Hero Cpl. Todd Love climbed into a Bob Cat earth digger Thursday and broke ground on his future new home in Douglasville, on Ridge Rd. It might not be such an extraordinary story except that Love lost both of his legs and left arm after he triggered an IED while on foot patrol in Afghanistan on the morning of Oct. 25, 2010.
The Tunnel to Towers Foundation and the Gary Sinise Foundation have partnered through their "Building for America's Bravest" program to build Love his new "Smart Home" in Paulding County. As a major sponsor, the Home Depot Foundation has committed $200,000 to assist in building Love's House.
The Paulding County High School Army JROTC Unit (Patriot Battalion) had a total of 33 cadets provided support for the ground breaking. Four cadets formed the Color Guard; four cadets made up the parking detail and other cadets provided moral support and were educated on charity and foundation programs and how they can contribute to supporting these programs in their community.
"This is part of our many Service Learning program initiatives we conduct within the JROTC curriculum," said Lt. Col. (Ret.) Greg McAfee, senior Army instructor. "This is part of our overall mission in JROTC to motivate young people to be better citizens."
In attached video, Frank Siller, chairman of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, shares the "smart home" concept of Love's new home; a letter is read from actor Gary Sinise and Love addresses the crowd and breaks ground on his new home.
In addtional video, Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant represented the Falcons' team in thanking Love for his service.
Even though ground has been broken, officials stressed that donations and construction materials are still needed from local contractors and builders to complete Love's Smart Home. Those looking to make a donation can go to www.TunneltoTowers.org or www.GarySiniseFoundation.org or www.BuildingForAmericasBravest.org.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (March 23, 2013) – The Rutgers softball team (14-10, 1-1 BIG EAST) ended a six-game win streak after dropping game one, 11-3, of a double header to USF in Tampa, Fla., Saturday afternoon. The Scarlet Knights were victorious in the second game, snapping the Bulls' 17 game win streak. RU finished with a 3-2 win over its Big EAST foe.
USF (23-11, 1-1 BIG EAST) took an early lead as they combined for 11 runs in the first three innings. The USF squad was led by first baseman Stephanie Medina who blasted two of the team's four home runs, notched five RBIs and went a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs over the first three frames.
Rutgers initially got on the board in the first inning as Alexis Durando (Oakland, N.J.) doubled to right center, sending Jackie Bates (Lincroft, N.J.) home. After a three-inning rally from the Bulls, the Scarlet Knights scored again in the fourth, as senior Kaci Madden (Saratoga, N.Y.) singled down the leftfield line to push Ashley Alden (Ivyland, Pa.) home and tally her ninth RBI of the season. Bates scored again in the fifth with two outs, but the early USF rally was enough to take home the game-one win.
Sophomore pitcher Alyssa Landrith (Vacaville, Calif.) (8-7) took the loss for the Scarlet Knights, allowing six earned runs on six innings of work.
USF pitcher Sara Nevins (10-4) finished the day striking out seven and allowing two earned runs in five innings of work.
In second game between the conference foes, a seventh inning surge would help the Scarlet Knights to victory. The Bulls capitalized on an RU error in the second inning to put up the first run of the game. With bases loaded, the Bulls second baseman Dani Wayt scored Lee Ann Spivey with a sac fly to left field to grab a 2-0 lead and finish out second inning scoring.
In the top of the fifth, RU right fielder Loren Williams (Los Angeles, Calif.) walked with two outs, and stole second a play later. Chandler Howard (Wilmington, Del.) was next to bat and singled through the left side to send Williams home. Howard's RBI was number 14 for the season, a team high she shares with Williams.
RU rallied in the seventh inning as Bates singled through the left side, advancing Williams to second. With two outs, Durando was next up and singled to right field to send Williams to third and Bates home, tying the game, 2-2. Durando stole second and forced a Bulls error allowing Bates to head home and give RU a 3-2 lead.
Freshman pitcher Dresden Maddox (Kennesaw, Ga.) (5-0) got the win for the Scarlet Knights, allowing two runs off two hits.
The Scarlet Knights will face the Bulls again tomorrow for the final game of their three-game series in Tampa. Game time is set for 11 a.m.

Before you begin reading about atrioventricular canal defects, please read the explanation of how the normal heart works for a basic understanding of its structure and function.
An atrioventricular canal defect is a problem in the part of the heart that connects the upper chambers (atria) to the lower chambers (ventricles).
There are two types of atrioventricular canal defects: complete and partial.
Complete atrioventricular canal (CAVC) is a severe defect in which there is a large hole in the tissue (the septum) View Large Atrioventricular Canal Defects Illustrationthat separates the left and right sides of the heart. The hole is in the center of the heart, where the upper chambers (the atria) and the lower chambers (the ventricles) meet.
As the heart formed abnormally, with this large hole, the valves that separate the upper and lower chambers also developed abnormally. In a normal heart, two valves separate the upper and lower chambers of the heart: the tricuspid valve separates the right chambers and the mitral valve the left. In a child with a complete atrioventricular canal defect, there is one large valve, and it may not close correctly.
As a result of the abnormal passageway between the two sides of the heart, blood from both sides mix, and too much blood circulates back to the lungs before it travels through the body. This means the heart works harder than it should have to, and will become enlarged and damaged if the problems aren't repaired.
A partial atrioventricular canal defect is the less severe form of this heart defect. The hole does not extend between the lower chambers of the heart and the valves are better formed. Usually it is necessary only to close the hole between the upper chambers (this hole is called an atrial septal defect, or ASD) and to do a minor repair of the mitral valve. Partial atrioventricular canal is also called atrioventricular septal defect, or AVSD.
In a complete atrioventricular canal defect, the following symptoms may be present within several days or weeks of birth:
Partial atrioventricular canal defects cause fewer symptoms and sometimes aren't diagnosed until the child reaches his or her 20s or 30s, and begins to experience irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), leaky valves or other effects.
The pediatrician who evaluates the newborn in the hospital might make the diagnosis. Or a primary care pediatrician might notice a murmur and other symptoms and refer the baby to the Cardiac Center.
Diagnosis of atrioventricular canal defects may require some or all of these tests:
Sometimes a complete atrioventricular canal defect is diagnosed on a fetal ultrasound and/or echocardiogram. Our Fetal Heart Program can prepare a plan for delivery and care immediately after birth.
Complete atrioventricular canal defects often occur in children with Down syndrome.
Complete atrioventricular canal defects require surgery, usually within the first two or three months of life. The surgeon will close the large hole with one or two patches. The patches are stitched into the heart muscle. As the child grows, the tissue grows over the patches.
The surgeon will also separate the single large valve into two valves and will reconstruct the valves so they are as close to normal as possible, depending on the child's heart anatomy.
Partial atrioventricular canal defects also require surgery, whether it is diagnosed in childhood or adulthood. The surgeon will patch or stitch the atrial septal defect closed, and will repair the mitral valve or replace it with either an artificial valve or a valve from a donated organ.
After surgery, patients initially recover in the Tabas Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) and then in the Cardiac Care Unit as they improve.
A child who has had surgical repair of an atrioventricular canal defect will require life-long care by a cardiologist. Most children recover completely and won't need additional surgery or catheterization procedures.
Our pediatric cardiologists follow patients until they are young adults, coordinating care with the primary care physician. Patients will need to carefully follow doctors' advice, including staying on any medications prescribed.
Sometimes children with an atrioventricular canal defect experience heart problems later in life, including irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) and leaky or narrowing valves. Medicine, additional surgery and/or cardiac catheterization may be required.
We will help patients transition care to an adult congenital heart disease specialist.
The Philadelphia Adult Congenital Heart Center, a joint program of The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania, meets the unique needs of adults who were born with heart defects.
Because of enormous strides in medicine and technology, today most children born with atrioventricular canal defects go on to lead productive lives as adults.

Oversaving Does Not Lead to Happiness
Published on - March 24th, 2009 (by J.D. Roth)
I love frugality. Frugality helped me to dig out of debt, begin to build wealth, and find more meaning in the things I already own. But at some point I crossed the line from frugal to cheap. I've spent the past few months seeking balance: allowing myself permission to spend on a few indulgences while choosing to cut back in other areas.
There's new research that indicates this sort of conscious spending really does make us happier. This morning, Jeff V. pointed me to a New York Times article from John Tierney that explores this research. Tierney says that oversaving is a burden for our times.
Unlike some others who have complained about savers recently, Tierney does not argue that we should all rush out to spend in order to support the economy. He merely warns that oversaving does not lead to happiness:
"People feel guilty about hedonism right afterwards, but as time passes the guilt dissipates," said Dr. Kivetz, a professor of marketing at the Columbia Business School. "At some point there's a reversal, and what builds up is this wistful feeling of missing out on life's pleasures."
During the current recession, hyperopic Ants are presumably having a harder time than ever parting with their own cash, no matter how often President Obama and his economists urge them to do some stimulative shopping. But would these Ants — and the economy — be better off if they relaxed a little? I asked Dr. Kivetz for his advice to shoppers.
"Don't be too hard on yourself," he said. "Obviously you need to be responsible and conserve your savings. But it's been a depressing winter, and there's nothing wrong with indulging yourself a little. This is a chance to reassess the quality and the balance of your life and to think how you'll feel in the future. As long as you can afford it, it's not a bad thing to be enjoying yourself."
Now obviously nobody is encouraging you to live beyond your means. Frugality is an important part of personal finance, and we all should certainly do what we can to curb costs. Instead, this is a reminder that money is a tool. If you're meeting your goals for saving, it's okay to spend some on the things that make you happy.
[The New York Times: Oversaving, a burdern for our times, via Jeff V.]
This article is about Choices, Frugality, News, Psychology
Give to charity!
Nothing wrong with a little indulgence, but frugality frees up money you can use to make a difference in other people's lives. Why spend on your own diminishing marginal returns when spending on someone else could really use a sandwich?
Added bonus – it can make you feel happier way more effectively than a new kitchen.
I wish people would stop this charity nonsense. Charity only makes sense in a free Market system where the government does not confiscate Money in order to fund social programs.
Once the government already seizes Money to allegedly help all the people they think are in need of help, giving even more Money away is just not logical.
I anyone Reading this thinks I am heartless or whatever… please do the math. There are not that many poor people to justify all the Money that is seized in order to "help" them. Itps just good business for the government.
Stop this charity nonsense and invest the Money in something productive.
I have to add that this rule doesn't apply to everyone. If you have a really bad financial situation then you might not be able to spend anything on yourself until you get control of your finances.
That said, I need to loosen up the purse strings a bit.
I just got myself to a point where I've eliminated all of my consumer debt entirely, and I'm now preparing to begin building my savings.
But before I get too far down that, I've decided that it's okay for me to "practice" spending money on fun things without blowing my budget. So far, this has included buying a couple of "toys" (Kindle 2, Roku Box) at full price, but mostly, my post-debt-elimination purchases have only been things that I've found for super duper cheap prices (either on dealnews.com, woot, etc.). And I'm really forcing myself to think about my impulse purchases. Part of me thinks of it as a reward for getting rid of credit card debt, but better than that, I think it's good practice for finding cheap ways to indulge myself, sometimes while saving money in other areas. My Roku Box, for example, winds up giving me the maximum use out of my Netflix Subscription, which keeps me home watching movies, rather than going out to dinner. Whether or not these things pay for themselves, it feels good just to get into the habit of thinking about things, and best of all–I don't feel deprived at all.
4Unfortunately, the problem is simply a matter of the audience. The vast majority of Americans do not need to hear "oversaving does not lead to happiness" in the NYTimes. We need to hear "deficit spending does not lead to happiness" in the NYTimes. And we need to hear it over and over again because advertising is constantly telling us not to worry about saving.
DH and I are considering this spring a tremendous buying opportunity. We are evaluating our savings and our plans to buy things and moving up the schedule. Work on our house, a new PC, clothes, we have the money sitting there and if we act soon we can get some really great deals.
Once your savings cover your "sleep at night factor" and you are meeting your ongoing saving goals, the rest is for living your life.
Actually, money has little to do with happiness unless you spend your extra money to help others or you're really poor. I recently wrote a post called "Can More Money Make You Happier?" that goes into more detail.
I agree with this post. If you adhere to a budget, a certain amount (25% for me) should go toward "guilt-free spending". Do just that. Spend it on things that make you happy.
Here's to hedonism!
I have recently been practicing this. I just moved into a new place and find enjoyment in "sprucing" the place up. This past weekend I spent a little money on some bulbs, dirt and mulch for the flower bed out front (not a need, but great satisfaction after the fact) and am planning on buying new curtains for the dining room soon.
I don't need any of this stuff, but it gives me satisfaction spending the money I have on things that enhance my life personally.
As long as I'm still meeting my savings goals and stay out of debt, I am comfortable and happier spending money on the little things that make my life better.
At work we were told last October that a "restructuring" would occur in Q1. Since then I have been spending considerably less and focused on saving. Well today was the day, I was "restructured". My emergency fund is ready and I must admit, I'm not as stressed as I would have been if I didn't save beforehand.
I didn't want people to say "Nice kitchen" but not be able to eat.
is this a sign telling me i should get my HDTV now? =D
I come from very frugal people and I had to learn that not only is it ok to occasionally spend on something frivolous, sometimes it makes sense. I get stressed a little easier than most and allowing myself an occasional treat that relieves the stress – a dinner out rather than cooking, even a housekeeping service for awhile – meant that I could focus better on my job and earn more in the long run. which means more money in retirement savings, higher social security, no expensive counseling costs…
I've never suffered from the debt problems that many of you report. Though I've had many times when I didn't save much, I rarely borrowed – a couple of times for cars (though I put way more down than most people), a couple of times that I took a month or two to pay off a big purchase on a credit card (out of 40 years of earning salaries), a few thousand dollars in college loans, and a modest home.
You need to remember that you can take the frugality thing too far. We all know people that denied themselves any small pleasure and then died with a ton of money.
On the other hand it is nice to know that you have the frugality skills to fall back on when needed. If you have only reasonable debts and some savings you can go into super-frugality mode when you have a financial setback or you want to save for some major goal.
As I said to you on your earlier posts, I'm glad you've added joy back into your budgeting system. I truly believe that one can be fiscally responsible and still occasionally blow money on frivolous things. The trick is in scaling the frivolousness to what your budget can safely withstand.
I really think that frugality is both a lifelong practice, and a cycle throughout life. There will be cycles when people are more spendy and less frugal, and others when they'll tuck money away like squirrels preparing for winter. Right now, my husband and I are penny-pinching because we're getting ready to buy a house and trying to bulk up for the associated expenses. Then there will be a bit of a buying spree for things like appliances, a few pieces of furniture, then we'll start saving again.
I think as long as people practice good financial balance and let common-sense be their guide, then they can comfortably deal with the typical cycles of life.
Oversaving may not lead to happiness, but overspending will lead to unhappiness sooner or later. Regarding the former, the article and the studies it quotes do not do a very good job of proving the point. Who commissioned the study, the consumer marketing industry? Sheesh!
I agree with the first comment here, and I would add that our spending affects many more people than ourselves. Every dollar we spend is a vote for the kind of world we want–what kind of environment, what kind of labor practices, etc. There's more to personal finance than save vs. indulge, and that's the area of ethical spending.
Balance is absolutely key! You will just be miserable is you obsess over every penny and don't allow yourself the occasional (and I stress occasional) indulgence.
It's interesting that they pull the regret over guilt idea over spending. Obviously, this can be conjured as another tactic for people to open up their purse strings and "stimulate" the economy. But the point is worth thinking over nevertheless. Life is unpredictable, so frugality should be practiced with some room for indulgences if finances allow.
I think when we become reponsible with our finances, for example, like Nancy L. and Aryn – couldn't have said it better myself — then money ceases to be an issue. When we get out of debt and learn how to live below our means, then we get off of a financial roller coaster and stay on level ground. I know that splurges from time to time, so long as they are within my budget, do make me happy, which include things I buy for myself as well as for others.
The key though is "within my budget." I don't feel entitled to material things I can't afford because I know that life is not fair and accept it. (I wouldn't buy anything that would throw my budget out of whack). I think people will continue to have money problems when they feel a sense of entitlement, and refuse to accept that life isn't fair. They think: I deserve it. It doesn't matter if I can't afford it, so they charge it or take out a loan for it. And so they'll just keep themselves on that financial roller coaster. Money problems will never go away as long as unsecured debt is carried from month to month. And so being financially comfortable has nothing to do with being rich, but comes as the result of following sound financial principles and taking responsibility. Then you can be on level ground and feel relaxed, rather than on that roller coastal and feeling stressed out all of the time.
Albert said it.
When DH and I had our first episode of austerity (DH went back to college FT, and I went back PT/worked PT), we learned a lot about what is important to our quality of life.
Certain expenditures are non-negotiable, and others will be cut only when we're in really bad shape, financially.
When you're deciding where to draw the frugal/cheap line, you have to stick with your values. But first, you need to know what they are.
>But would these Ants — and the >economy — be better off if they >relaxed a little?
As long as you save in a bank rather than putting cash in your mattress that cash is available to lend to another person or company that will spend it. So individuals saving in the banking system should NOT pose a problem for the economy!
If you have a reasonable amount saved for emergencies, have tamed your debt, and have invested sufficiently for the future then spending a reasonable amount on something you value really should make you happier.
If responsible spending doesn't make you happier that is NOT a healthy reaction! Being too afraid to spend or too greedy to spend doesn't strike me as a path to happiness!

Hey JD,
My wife and I have "play" money. This is money that we both receive at the beginning of the month to "play with"
I've spent the money on hockey gear, a couple of beers now and again or just a weekend with friends at the cottage.
The best part is that my wife and I have an agreement; we don't ask each other what we spend our play money on; and since we receive a fixed amount of "play" every month we don't overspend either….
I love my play money
I have a rule that I've been using for a year and trying to get my DH to accept … I don't really buy anything that isn't a necessity unless a) it will definitely improve our quality of life in the here and now (e.g., upgrading items in daily use) OR b) it will definitely improve our relationship in the here and now (e.g., tickets to an event, or an overnight trip out of town), AND c) we can pay cash.
I couldn't agree more with keeping the balance in your life. But I regret making unnecessary purchases way more often than I feel deprived because of the ongoing savings effort…
What's interesting about this article is that it is all about perception. For some folks, going out to dinner once a week is an extravagence, but to someone else, it is cutting way back.
If someone feels like they are cutting back for too long, they start to get whistful about what they are missing, but if they don't feel like they are missing anything, they won't!
So the trick is to spend well below your means but to feel like you are living large! Good luck.
I kinda of touch this in my blog, everthing must have a balance, always have a percentage going to fun.
If not, you will go crazy
As usual, the right answer is: It Depends.
If you have a job and income, then ok do something nice for yourself periodically.
If you are being foreclosed next week with no prospects and no income and no place to go, I doubt that buying an IPod is appropriate at this point.
This is what works for us:
We set aside a fixed amount for entertainment even though very small, it keeps us from feeling too deprived. This in turn makes us more successful in paying off debt.
On another note, it is a good time to spend (as long as you are responsibly doing it). I took a trip recently and my airfare only cost me $215, instead of $400. I was able to shop during that vacation and eat out a few times. Total cost of the 5-day vacation: $350. I stayed with family and did not rent a car. All I am saying is, the deals are out there as long as you spend it on things that matter to you and use your money wisely.
So, we always set money aside for entertainment no matter what our financial situation. The amount would just be different. It could be $10/month now, $100/month later, or something like that. This also keeps us away from impulse spending because it is sort of "planned". I highly recommend this but do what works for you.
There are plenty of people on the blogs who give frugality a bad name, and think you're wasting your money if you ever step foot outside the housing development you live in, our throw out a pair of socks unless they have at least five holes. I'm as guilty of this as anybody else. But I've learned my lesson and now my new mission is to prove you can live a good life on just a little bit of money.
My indulgence is going to Mexico. For years, I went every weekend; this was unsustainable. Then I stopped going completely. Spent three years holed up inside my apartment. Saved tons of money, but never did anything and was unhappy and miserable. Now, I paid off all my debts, max out 401(k) every year, have a couple of years of living expenses saved up. I go to Mexico every 6-8 weeks. That makes it affordable, sustainable, and also a special enough treat. Balance, harmony, zen, and happiness.
Interesting that this was even a news event… but I say that a lot.
This guys simply has a new spin on an old saw and he's the new story de jour.
Spending money and material things don't bring happiness. If that is true then the converse has to be true too – over saving doesn't drive happiness either.
Happiness is largely independent of money on both sides of the equation.
… but I doubt this even just a little, I'd err on the side more money in savings because the security it affords… besides while you CAN over spend means, you can't really over save… save over what?
I conclude the guy is a hack but I should seek out the article to be sure!
Thanks for sharing!
Here is an excerpt from the ebook I've been working on that cites another study on the very same topic. Please excuse any editing issues, this is a work in progress.
"In many situations we initiate our own poor spending by allowing emotions to control our wallets. A study conducted by Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh explored the issue of psychology and emotion in spending with a simple experiment. Participants were asked to participate in a study in which they would be divided into two separate groups and shown film clips. This first group was shown a scene from the video The Champ, a 1979 film in which the segment shown displays a boy weeping uncontrollably over his dead father's body. After the film the participants were asked to write a reflection paper about what it would be like if they had lost a mentor in a similar way. The second group viewed a National Geographic film about the Great Barrier Reef. It was a documentary about different species of fish, its' beach, the reef, and various underwater scenes. The movie was "emotionally neutral." After the second group watched the Barrier Reef video they were asked to write about their daily routine. The researchers paid each of the participants $10 for their time and told them they could use some of that money to purchase a nice water bottle. (Note: The suggestion to purchase the bottle was optional and not required of any of the participants.) The study found the people in group one (the sad group) were more likely to purchase the bottle and were willing to pay more for the same item than the people who felt neutral. It wasn't just a little more either. On average the neutral group was only willing to give $0.56, while the "sad" group was willing to give an average of $2.11. That's a difference of over 250%!"
I agree that spending does help sooth the nerves, it's only when we don't have the money to spend that it causes a problem. At least that's what I found in my own debt experience.
Excellent points #4 and #16.
The commercial media loves to point out the disadvantages of saving and/or living a frugal life. They always seem to be producing articles that leave the reader feeling as if they are doing a disservice to themselves by choosing to live below their means.
Invariably, I always feel to need to spend more and "indulge a little" (which is a relative concept) after reading those articles. Similar to the way I always feel a need to lose weight after browsing fashion magazines despite being tall and slim.
Suffice to say, those articles are in the advertisers' interests, not the readers.
Note that Dr. Kivetz is a professor of MARKETING. What the heck does he know?
He…warns that oversaving does not lead to happiness
Really? Then why do I get a little thrill when I see my retirement accounts increase or my mortgage principle decrease?
@JD (#36) – I understand the point of the article, but, for me, there is no such thing as over-saving. I'm one of those weirdos who is addicted to saving.
Money may not buy happiness… but poverty sure buys a LOAD of misery.
Another great post, as usual.
Getting out of debt can be a such a long, frustrating process that I'd suggest that people should build this idea into their debt-elimination strategy. Set small, easily-attainable goals that you can reach within at least a few months and that are steps towards your long-term goals. When you achieve a small goal, reward yourself with a fixed amount of extra "play" money to spend on whatever makes you happy.
This will do a few things for you, psychologically: First, it will keep you from over-indulging yourself by spending too much or too often. Then, it will ensure you don't feel guilty about indulging yourself, because it actually means you are moving in the right direction. And finally, it will help keep you motivated to continue setting and achieving your short-term goals, which will in turn help you reach your long-term goals.
'Course, this is coming from someone who's spent the last six years or so trying to get out of debt in all the wrong ways. Personally, I just hope to someday get to the point where I actually have enough leftover money after my bills are paid that I can decide whether I should save it or spend it!
I'm learning from (and blogging about) my past mistakes, so hopefully I can turn things around for myself and my family in the next six years. Your blog promises to be a great help in this process!
P.S. I think Jorge (#26) summed it up best: "spend well below your means but…feel like you are living large!"
Ken(#38) sums it up quite well, and having money saved brings a great sense of security.
I will say that if you are inclined to not just frugality but being cheap and miserly, try giving to charity. I think that is a great way to help keep you cognizant of what you have been blessed with and should be thankful for, while helping others. I think it can help you avoid the feeling that you are missing out on something, because you recognize how much you have. It also feels makes you feel good, because that's what happens when you give and help others.
I can't wait for you to tell us all how you feel when you buy that Mini Cooper. I've been feeling a bit deprived lately because I'm locked into the saving mode even though my wife and I doing fairly well with our finances. I need to vicariously share your joy when you buy your new Mini Cooper
Simply put, it's about balance and moderation . . .
I will say that if you are inclined to not just frugality but being cheap and miserly, try giving to charity.
I give money to charity, but I'm always suspicious of what they do with it. Go a step further and give time. One of the greatest feelings is teaching school kids about finance and having them "get it."
This is where budgeting is so important.
If you have savings goals, and you are keeping track, then you know how much you can spend on frivolous things. For me, I get much more joy saving my fun money for a few months and buying something I've been researching for a while.
Just keep in mind, just because the gas is cheap, global warming has not gone away. Buy responsibly, which includes buying something which you actually want and will use. And buy the most robust, something that will last a while.
I agree that it's important to spend *some* money on things you really enjoy. It's really striking a balance between doing the right thing for yourself in the long run vs. being content in the present, and both are important. Because I'm in the paying off debt and saving an emergency fund stage, I am learning how to be frugal, and actually enjoying it. I do feel guilty when I spend on pretty much anything. I know that the not too distant future is looking pretty bright for me, and I'm able to delay gratification, but I also sometimes get down and wonder what it's all for, what if I get hit by a bus tomorrow, etc.
I'm taking more pleasure in the simple things (popcorn at home with a movie and my boyfriend, etc.), which is keeping me a lot happier than I ever was when I'd whip out the plastic at the mall, but I also find I get restless if I don't do *some* things that cost money. I'm not much of a partier, but I really enjoy going out to dinner 1-3x a month.
Unnecessary? Depends on how you look at it. I don't smoke, drink at home often, have a mortgage, have a gym membership, have hobbies that cost money, and so on, so I allow myself that indulgence. It gives me something to look forward to, and I usually go with my boyfriend, so spending that time together, away from the apartment, is important to me.
I also am starting to save for things I want… a new concept for me. I know I'll eventually get the things I desire, and it's fun looking forward to something I would have put on the Visa 6 months ago.
Wasn't it an excess of "grasshopper" behaviour that caused the problem in the first place? The last thing we need is to turn the "ants" into "grasshoppers." There will be a painful adjustment period (there always is after a bubble), and it may last longer than normal, but economic equilibrium will be restored without urging "ants" to abandon their sensible ways and "shop 'til they drop." However, if an "ant" has been planning a significant purchase and has saved for it, now may be a great time to proceed, as prices are falling and there are deals to be had.
As for the possible regret of not buying something, call me crazy, but I can live with this kind of regret knowing that I am blessed with a wonderful wife, terrific family and friends, a good job and a well-funded retirement plan.
The only money that should be saved, is the money you save for a purpose. There's no point to saving up money for no reason. Money is a means, not an end. Saving money for no reason is very similar to buying things you never use, in my opinion.
This is the problem with budgeting. Budgeting is a tool. It is not reality. $20 earmarked for movies does not make that $20 any less valuable, so you should NOT be making any purchasing behavior changes.
This is the problem. Budgeting has become a way of life and it has changed the discourse. Should you buy that item? Well, is the item more valuable than the money you're paying for it?
That's the real question. There is not a need for a "balance". That word only has meaning in budgeting.
This was true for me – over saving didn't make me happy. I put away over 10K to spend while I was on maternity leave last year. But I was so frugal with my spending that when I came back to work, I still had 6K left over. Starting back at work made me realize that I should have loosened the purse strings a little and enjoyed my time away from work instead of huddling in the house afraid of outside expenditures.
I noticed that people who save on virtually -anything- often are nasty and judgemental toward people who occasionally spend money on fun activities, dvds, a good purse… you name it.
I found examples of that in a certain big frugal community on-line…

WHISTLER, B.C. -- Calgary's Taylor Henrich captured gold in women's normal hill ski jumping on Saturday at the Canadian national ski jumping/Nordic combined championships.
Henrich went 91.5 metres on her first jump and then had a solid 89.5-metre jump on her second go round.
Henrich has been steadily building her skills and is setting her sights on competing at the 2014 Sochi Games. She started this season with her first World Cup event in Lillehammer, Norway, finishing 23rd. She finished fifth individually at the Youth Olympic Winter Games and was part of the Canadian team that won bronze in the team event.
"I went in knowing I could do well and showed them what we could do," said the 17-year-old Henrich of the Youth Olympic Games results.
Nata DeLeeuw, also of Calgary, finished second with an 89.5-metre opening jump and an 89-metre second jump in a successful return to competition after a three-year hiatus.
"There was a good opportunity for me to come out," said the 21-year-old DeLeeuw. "I thought it would be fun to take some jumps again. It's been a while."
Henrich also added a victory in Saturday's women's Nordic combined event. The runner-up was Canadian development team member Alexandra Pretorius, also of Calgary, who finished third in the women's normal hill ski jumping competition.
Pretorius went 91.5 metres on her first jump, then 79.5 metres on her second.
DeLeeuw was a leading female ski jumper when she stopped competing.
She had had an 11th-place result at the 2009 world championships and a record of strong Continental Cup showings to her credit. She was also a role model for up-and-coming athletes such as Henrich.
DeLeeuw said the IOC's decision not to include women's ski jumping in the Olympics in 2010 was disappointing, but she turned away from the sport because she was "ready to do something else with my life."
DeLeeuw did jump at the Whistler Olympic Park in 2010 as a forerunner for the men's Olympic events. She has been studying Earth and Environmental Sciences at UBC--Okanagan and skiing in her time away from the sport.
Despite her return this weekend, DeLeeuw isn't making any commitments as to whether she will continue jumping and aims to be there when women's ski jumping makes its Olympic debut in 2014.
"At this point I'm just here to have fun this weekend," she said, adding that she's "really excited" about the inclusion of women's ski jumping at the Games.
The open men's normal and large hill event wins were both claimed by Mackenzie Boyd-Clowes, 20, a Toronto native and member of Calgary's Altius Nordic Ski Club and leading men's national team member this season.
Boyd-Clowes significantly outjumped second- and third-place finishers Martin Schmitt and Kevin Horlacher of Germany, reaching top distances of 142 metres on the large hill and 104.5 metres on the normal hill.
Schmitt is a decorated German jumper, a past World Cup winner and member of the German squad that captured silver in the 2010 Olympic team event.
Boyd-Clowes is coming off a season that saw him set a new Canadian record by soaring 194 metres at the ski flying world championships in Vikersund, Norway.
"He's really working hard on everything that he needs to work hard on to become one of the top ski jumpers in the world, and it's extremely difficult on that circuit," said Ski Jumping Canada chairman Brent Morrice.
Hot on the heels of the top three jumpers in the open men's category were national development team members Dusty Korek and Matthew Rowley, who finished fourth and fifth, respectively, in the normal hill competition and fifth and sixth, respectively, in the large hill event.
In the open men's Nordic combined competition, Canadian Wesley Savill finished second to American Adam Loomis. In the J2 men's Nordic combined event, Canadians Rogan Reid and Matthew Soukup of the Altius Nordic Ski Club finished first and second, followed by fellow countryman Nicholas Madden of the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club.
Rogan finished second to American Kevin Bickner of the Norge Ski Club in the J2 men's normal hill ski jumping event.
It was the first event to be hosted on the Whistler Olympic Park ski jumps since the 2010 Vancouver Games.

A couple of simple questions
I've been using Couchbase 1.8 for a while for session management and data caching and it works very well. I am now trying to see if I can do more with it, especially since 2.0 has been released and we got views. I watched some of the videos online and read a lot of the documentation, but somehow I cannot find the answers to my questions. Any help would be much appreciated.
My system has a bunch of objects defined in a model. Think of Persons, Vehicles, PersonAndVehicleAssociation and so on. There's many of these, but let's just use those 3.
Each of those objects (documents) have a bunch of properties (some of which are other types).
Think of a them like this:
Id = "2187328-3221-122222"
First = "Jack"
Last = "Smith"
Age = 35
City = "New York"
ZipCode = "12345"
Id = "324333-2132-145666"
State = "NJ"
Tag = "ABC-123"
Make = "Chevrolet"
Model = "Corvette"
PersonId = "2187328-3221-122222"
VehicleId = "324333-2132-145666"
AssociationType = "Owner"
Pretty common stuff.
Now, I need to run queries such as the following:
"20 Persons SKIPPING 234400 WHERE Address.City = 'New York' AND Name.Last LIKE '%mit%'"
"FIRST 10 Vehicles WHERE (Plate.State in ['NJ', 'IL', 'CA'] OR Make LIKE 'Chev%') AND (...something else...)"
These queries are pretty much **always dynamic and customer-driven**. The UI allows our customers to search data any way they need. This is a pretty common need for any data-oriented system, so there has to be an answer somewhere... I just cannot seem to find it :(
My first problem is the use of SQL LIKE functionality and the ability to mix a number of conditions.
Is this even possible thanks to the new views functionality, in a way that doesn't assume I will manually create a view for each possible combination of properties my users want to search on? In other words: I cannot know how my users will search for data. It has to be dynamic and I cannot create a Javascript code for each possible combination of things my users would want to search on. How do you do this?
Is there any "SQL to Couchbase" set of articles or documents that cover these sort of scenarios? I assume the majority of developers looking at Couchbase for more than just a cache mechanism, would come from a SQL background. Are questions like these answered anywhere?
Thanks a lot!
Hello Allessandro,
Even if it looks like simple questions they are not in the way most of the NoSQL engine, including Couchbase are working.
When you want to do some queries with Couchbase you need to create views as documented here:
So you have to create a view, that in fact creates/stores an index based on the values you have in your documents. But you can only do queries on a single index. (See below)
So when you need more advanced query features like the one you have described you can use our Elastic Search integration that allows you to do any type of query. You can take a look to:
About the views
One important part to understand is that when you are doing queries you are doing queries against this index (and only one index), so you can do things like:
state in ["CA", "NJ"] by creating a view with the state
and then query using the keys parameter keys=["CA","NJ"]
Like operation using the startkey/endkey parameter
I invite you to look at this document: Translating SQL to Map/Reduce
Hi and many thanks for your answer.
Let me start saying one thing: By rereading my post below it might sound like I am a bit "hard". It's not my intention. I love the product for what I use it so far, but I wanted to see if I can use it for more. They are simple questions, no harshness meant :)
I skimmed over Elastic Search but, since it is a developer preview, I cannot really use it in production...
Regardless, the example at the very end of the page you pointed me to is not exactly what I am after. The fact it found a document with "Douchesse" somewhere in it is good for a few searches we do, but not for most. For instance, what I'd like to be able to search for is all beers where name contains "de" and abv > x and y. It didn't seem to me elastic search helps me much there. In other words, I need a *specific* property to contain a certain value, not *any* property. I also need to specify which property that is, at runtime.
"Translating SQL to Map/Reduce" was a good article but it seems to confirm what my fear was: That I need to think ahead of all possible searches users could make and have indexes built. It also makes me wonder what happens if I have 2 or more indexes made off of [string, string, number] (the last "carrot","rice",0 example) but that refer to totally different properties?
I am coming to the conclusion that the noSQL approach is good when you know what you're after (like in a web page where you can put links to other documents) but doesn't work when you don't know what you want ahead (like in a totally user driven query where anything could be used, in any combination). Am I correct assuming that what I am trying to address is something only an RDBMS can help me with, or I am missing something obvious (or not obvious, but an alternative way to look at the problem)?
