It Don't Matter If You're Black or White – Cookies
As everyone knows one of the greatest performers, and King of Pop has recently passed away. After yesterdays event, of his memorial ceremony I wanted to dedicate a post to him. I remember being in grade 7 and being absolutely in love with Michael Jackson! My friend Amanda and I were obsessed at 13 years old! We loved all of his music, and I remember after school we would go to each others house and listen to all of his music and have dance parties. We thought we were sooo cool listening to MJ. I remember for Amanda's birthday I really wanted to get her something to do with Michael, so I went looking in town for a gift. The only music store in town was a small CD store that had old and new CD's and music posters. I remember finding two, now thinking back I wish I had bought one for myself as well! I finally decided on one of them, it was a collage of pictures of MJ and I can still picture it today. Actually, I sorta wished I kept it! haha. But birthdays are about giving!..and not to yourself. But today I bought a People magazine to have a small memorial of him and his life. I loved all his music, and my friend and I would watch all his music videos on our old computer, waiting patiently for it to download! My mom actually saw him in concert, and now wishes she had kept her ticket stub! ( this is why I keep all of mine! You never know! )
So today while I was shopping I needed to pick up ingredients to make cookies for an upcoming trip! Tomorrow morning I'm heading up to Merritt for the Merritt Mountain Music Festival. For all you non-canadians, or even non-BC'ers it's a four day event of country music in the interior of BC. Lots of concerts and cowboys!! Im super excited to go, and Im leaving tomorrow morning veryyy early with my friend Justine! She's been before but I haven't! So I'm looking forward to it! And I promised her baked goods!
While I was at the store I had Michael in mind and came up with the idea of black and white mini chocolate chip cookies. Because as Michael said "it don't matter if you're black or white"
Black and White Mixin' Together!
Black And White Chocolate Chip Cookies
Recipe: Adapted from Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook
Makes 2 dozen cookies
- 1 Cup Butter

Here's to you Michael! "See, its not about races, just places, faces, where your blood comes from, Is where your space is, I've seen the bright get duller, Im not going to spend my life being a color"

I've got som Tween year memories of him as well. :)
You cookies sound yummy and I think would please everyone!
Hope you have a super fun but safe trip! Happy Friday!Reply
Those cookies look great. I love mini chocolate chips because it means you'll probably get one in every bite!Reply
Hi Alicia, I had not been on your site for awhile looks YUMMY!! Michael Jackson and I are the same age! and I went to his concert with your Mom too! Luckily for us Angela S. talked us into better seats closer to the stage. I am pretty sure was his only Vancouver concert and yes it would be good to still have the ticket. . . I have a cookie recipe from a cookie book I received for a wedding present that actually has cookies named "Black & White" refrridgerator cookies so you must check them out the next time you come over. I also LOVE Cheesecake and like your Mom I am alwys dissapointed when the cruise ship does not have it, like Really no cheescake? that is one of my favorite things about cruising, Princess makes the best cheescake and NCL does not have cheesecake for anyone looking to book a cruise! Soooo if you want to make me a cheescake I certainly would not say no, I am lucky to get a card from my boy for Mothers Day. . .Reply
See you next week Love you Auntie Heas
I miss MJ very much.. Still can't beleive he's gone.. :(Reply
I still miss Michael Jackson very much, Can't believe his gone!Reply

This was just to "upgrade" an attic light. The glass swirling is very uneven in a fake alabaster way. I wasn't expecting much for less than *** and in this case you definitely get what you pay for. I would not put this anywhere people are actually going to really see it up close or for long periods of time. But to choose between something institutional looking or this; for a closet or infrequently used room, it's fine. Packed well and came fast.

2010 Louis Jadot Pommard
"The 2010 Pommard is a gorgeous village-level wine laced with silky red fruit, crushed flowers, spices and mint. The higher-altitude location of the plots used for the Pommard gives the wine an amount of pure textural finesse that is highly unusual for a wine of this level. Soft, floral notes round out the finish. In 2010 the Pommard is made mostly from estate fruit."

"A brooding nose of classic old school Corton aromas that are distinctly sauvage in character with plenty of warm earth, game, leather and hints of spice to the ripe dark berry fruit scents. The large-scaled big-bodied flavors possess a firmly structured and well-concentrated mid-palate that coat the palate with abundance dry extract, all wrapped in a seriously long finish."

Unlimited data doesn't come cheap. But you already probably know that if you've got a smartphone plan from any of the major carriers. However, it turns out that T-Mobile has a "hidden plan" that provides unlimited 4G data (throttled after 5GB), unlimited texts, and 100 minutes of talk time for a mere $30 a month. And even if you're a big talker, you can always use their WiFi calling, Skype, or concede to some overages, which will likely still be less than what you're paying now.
Scoring the aforementioned $30 a month plan, though, is no easy feat. T-Mobile's website doesn't heavily, if at all, advertise it and you'll need to take a bit of a leap of faith in the process, or so it would seem. That said, you can't order the plan right off the bat. You'll first need to order a SIM card for a compatible phone. So in other words, you'll need to bring your own device to the party. Once you set out to activate that SIM card online, you should be presented with the $30 a month option – just ignore the accompanying plan activation paper work, which makes no mention of it according to Cnet's Danny Sullivan, who discovered the option.
It's important to note that this plan is only available to new customers, and you may not be able to port your number, though I believe that latter issue to be moot since there is a legal mandate for carriers to allow number porting. If you wanna avoid any number porting issues, your best bet is to port your number to Google Voice, which will cost you a one time fee of $20 (there are some instructions on how to do that here).
T-Mobile doesn't offer the best coverage compared to Verizon and AT&T. Nevertheless, $30 a month is a stellar price, barring any talk time issues one might face.
This is where the plan is listed on T-Mobile's site. Just keep in mind you can't click on it and review any information. So you might wanna ring T-Mobile directly.

Ok so I don't actually have this brush but I just wanted to let you all know that the pink real techniques stippling brush is a great dupe for this and it's only like $10. I've been reading that this brush has problems with shedding and bleeding. The RT brush has NEVER shed or bled on me. It can be found at ULTA.

Mac face brushes must hate me... With the exception of #187 and #188, they all shed terribly on my face. I bought #130 after reading the reviews that it doesn't shed. It was no exception. The only times it didn't shed was when I used it dirty-it must have been the foundation that prevented the bristles from finding a new home on my face. I therefore reckon that the majority of people doesn't clean the brushes after every single use...
It bleeds when washed with Brush Cleanser, I've had it for 10 months and it hasn't been a single wash since then that the white towel used for wiping it hasn't turned black.
It applies liquid foundation evenly and gives a nice, lightweight result, as it absorbs quite a lot of product. I personally use 1 pump of foundation (Fix Fluid or Mineralize Moisture) when using my fingers and 2 pumps when using #130 and get a quite similar coverage.
I've also used it a couple of times for applying cream blush and cream colour base and was happy with the result.
I won't repurchase. I've spent a lot of £££ on Mac brushes (I own more of 40) and the quality doesn't reflect the price. I'll give Sigma a go. After all, their price is only a third of their Mac counterparts!

This probably the most versatile foundation brush ever, you can use the 130 with Lighter coverage foundation/BB cream or with more medium/full coverage. Great for everyday use! Blends well, sheds before 1st wash, easy to use.

Fantastic brush for cream foundations ..... in the past I have used other foundation brushes as well as a Beautyblender, but lately I have just been using my fingers, however, I saw an artist on Youtube used the 130 brush and I purchased it and could not be more pleased ...... my brush is still new so I am not experiencing any issues with bleeding or shedding, however, in terms of usage, the 130 brush works well with MAC's NW10 liquid foundation ..... the 130 will always be a staple in my makeup collection .... MAC's brushes are always the best! Edit to add: I just started using Real Techniques brushes, and the buffing brush is a godsend to anyone that uses foundation, concealer or powder ...... it buffs the product into an airbrushed and flawless look.

This brush is a nice shape, and would be good if it didn't bleed black dye everywhere. I tried every suggestion--MAC brush cleaner, vinegar, baby shampoo, and nothing worked. I even thought I could just let it dry and it would be fine. I wound up with black smears all over my face. Thank goodness it was purchased for me at Nordstrom, as they were happy to exchange it for a new one. I am hoping that this one is okay, but won't hold my breath. Oh, and I will never shop at the MAC store again. They wouldn't even speak to me since I didn't have a receipt and my purchase was more than 30 days ago, even though their product was clearly defective. But the idiot sales girl did try to sell me something else. Seriously?

LOVE this brush. Although it does shed on me from time to time, and I have to pick away the fibres, thats just a small thing. It feels sooo good against your skin. The only reason I gave this 4 lipsticks is because of the price -__-. It cost me more than my foundation! I bought it for around $40 after the MAC artist did a full face of makeup on me. I use it for my concealer and blending liquid foundation. I can sometimes use powder foundation with this brush too, but I dont like to mix it up like that too much. Everything just looks really nice with this brush. I feel all profesional when I use it :). Definitely would buy again!! (Maybe if it was on sale though...)

I would love this brush if it wasn't a bleeding mess.
It's a nice shape, it works wonderfully with cream blush and foundation, and it's the perfect size for my small-ish face. It never sheds.
However, I've been using this brush for a year and have probably washed it a hundred times, but it has never stopped bleeding dye. I tried everything to fix this -- I've soaked it in a dilute vinegar solution 3 times. I've washed it way rougher and with more intense soap than anyone should ever wash a brush. I eventually stopped using it. I've never encountered a brush that just oozes dye forever - usually they stop after a few washes, but this is like...magic reappearing dye.
But hey, if you need durable brushes, this thing is solid. I've tormented its poor bristles and it looks brand new. No loosening of the ferrule, no rust from the vinegar (though I pretty thoroughly removed it), not a single hair shed.

I just brought this brush today I really like it it's expensive especially since I brought this while in Mexico. (imported fees) but a makeup artist used this on me to apply a highlighter, I liked the brush, not the highlighter. It's dense yes, but it blends everything very well, I usually use a beauty blender but sometimes I find it pats in on and I need to rub a product in, I can see this being excellent for cream blushes all kinds of highlighters and liquid bronzers, it's small so it takes longer, but better to be slow and accurate then fast and messy. I think this is a investment and recommend adding this to your brush collection

This brush is a workhorse. I am in love with it and every time I try a different brush for foundation, I always come back to this one. It applies liquid foundation like a dream, no matter what product I'm using. It rarely sheds and is easy to clean. I think the price was around $30, but totally worth every cent. It works well with powders too, but I already have plenty of powder brushes so I dedicated this one to foundation only. Try it, you'll never want to use another brush for your foundation again! I've had it a few years and it still looks and feels as good as brand new.

Implementation of the Private Security Officer Employment Authorization Act of 2004
Act authorizes fingerprint-based criminal history check for prospective guards
   m. Section 6402(d)(1)(A) of the Act provides that an authorized employer "may submit to the state identification bureau of a participating State" a request for a criminal history background check of a private security guard employee pursuant to the Act. Although the law does not specify to which participating State the authorized employer is required to submit the request, it is generally expected that an authorized employer will seek background checks on its employee in the state of employment. Some States, however, may opt out from participating in this background check system even where they have no applicable Public Law 92-544 statute authorizing state and national fingerprint-based criminal history checks of prospective and current private security officers. In addition, some participating states may take time to set up a process to accept and process the checks under these regulations. To allow for the possibility of checks authorized by the Act being done in these circumstances, the interim rule provides that if an authorized employer is prevented from submitting an employee's fingerprints because the employee's employment is (1) in a State that does not have an applicable Public Law 92-544 statute authorizing state and national fingerprint-based criminal history checks of prospective and current private security officers and that has elected to opt out, or (2) in a participating state that does not yet have a process for accepting such fingerprint submissions under these regulations, then the employer may submit the employee's fingerprints to the SIB of another participating State other than the state of employment provided it obtains the permission of the accommodating state. Such an arrangement would be voluntary, could involve the imposition of additional requirements by the alternative state as a condition to agreeing to do the out-of-state checks, and would discontinue once the State where the private security guard is employed makes available a process for doing these checks. Conducting a national check through an alternative state where possible may be preferable to no check at all. Conducting the check through the state of employment is, however, generally preferable inasmuch as such states are more likely to have records on a subject not available at the FBI than an alternative state with which an employee has had no contact.
   n. Although not required by the statute, States are encouraged to explore the beneficial use of (1) electronic/livescan fingerprint capture and submission, and (2) channeling agents to transmit fingerprints to the FBI and the results of the criminal history checks to the States.

The outcome are 14 songs in only 35 minutes – fast, hard, on point! The raw production was done by T.Raumschmiere (Shitkatapult/Mute) who left his monstertruck in the parking lot to get into the driver's seat behind the Crack Whore boards. The final touch was contributed by Christian Vogel (another former techno legend and part of Super Collider alongside Jamie Lidell) who is responsible for the mastering of the sound.
The band itself consists of Patrick Schauer (vocals),Mario Bender (guitare), Kai Mohr (guitare) and Marco Haas (drums). The guys know each other since 1997 when they began making music just for fun and to make some noise. Their first serious project was the Noise Rock band called "Mos Isley Rock" (named after the rebel hide out in Star Wars) which released it's first single "High On The Heels Of Love" in 2000 and was the foundation of the Crack Whore Society. For live performances they get support from the experienced master of low frequencys Andreas Paruschke (member of the T.Raumschmiere Band).
Sticking together they spit out such an extreme tight wall of sound making ferroconcrete look like candyfloss. SICK AS FUCK, TWICE AS HARD! This should make fans The Bronx, Smokeblow or Beatsteaks feel comfortable…
The advance single "Lowrider" features an exclusive Motor remix on the b-side. The 7" is printed on white vinyl and is strictly limited to 666 hand-numbered copies – collectors item!!!

If the Yankees were smart they would move Gardener to center and trade Granderson..they should get a younger professional hitting outfielder...a player who hits .280, 20-25 HRs and 85-90 RBIs and a top minor league prospect...the Yankees don't need a homerun or nothing hitter...the Yankees should re-think the possibility of signing a 37 yr. old outfielder, in Hunter...the Yankees need youth, not another older player...they should start taking a chance with their own minor leaguers..instead of letting them die on the vine.

PLAYERS: Nick Swisher, Curtis Granderson, Brett Gardner, Ichiro Suzuki
TEAMS: New York Yankees
TEAMS: New York Yankees
ô What will the New York Yankeesô outfield look like next season? Nick Swisher salutes the crowd during ãroll callã at the June 8, 2009 Yankee vs. Rays. For starters, CF Curtis Granderson and LF Brett Gardner will be back. The Yankees picked up Grandyãs 2013 option and Gardner is under team control till 2015 but is arbitration eligible. So that leaves GM Brain Cashman with a need in right field and a sub off the bench that need to be filled. The free agent options are not endless so lets start with what the Yankees already have, or had. NOT SO SWISHALICIOUS IN PINSTRIPES: You can bet that Nick Swisher will be gone as he wants a multi-year deal and some other team will give him one. Over his four years spent in the Bronx, Swisher hit 105 homers, 349 RBIs, drew 327 walks, 531 strikeouts and posted a .268 batting average. Unfortunately the last impression Swisher left was during the 2012 postseason where he had a .167 batting average, three RBIs, with 10-strikeouts and he made game chang...

Granderson isn't going anywhere, guys who can hit 40 hrs and drive in 100 runs don't grow on trees. Yankee fans have to get over the bad post season he had. Remember he wasn't the only one who stunk it up. They're gonna move Ichiro to right,(because he's not done), and Gardner goes back in left, Grandy stays in center. They'll have 2 leadoff caliber hitters at the top of the lineup with DJ and Ichiro and Gardner in the 8 or 9 slot. Swisher however is gone, he's a great team guy and a decent hitter but he's gonna ask way more than the Yankees are willing to pay for him.

In late September, 2008, Chancellor Linda P. Brady appointed approximately 70 faculty, staff, students, alumni, and community members to the Strategic Planning Committee (SPC).
Chancellor Brady charged the SPC to develop "a value-driven, outcome-based, transformative plan." Drawing on a document developed by the Planning Preparation Committee
(A Bridge between UNCG Today and UNCG Tomorrow, July 31, 2008) and with guidance from Provost David H. Perrin, the SPC developed the
the UNCG Strategic Plan 2009-2014. The Strategic Planning Committee endorsed a plan draft on March 30, 2009. Afterwards,
all campus leadership groups endorsed the UNCG Strategic Plan 2009-2014, and the Chancellor approved it on May 1, 2009. All campus leadership groups, including the Board of
Trustees, endorsed the Vision and Mission Statement during fall 2008, Chancellor Brady approved it on December 15, 2008, and the UNC Board of Governors approved it on November 13, 2009.
During 2009-2010 and 2010-2011, teams from multiple units and divisions built on the work of the Strategic Planning Committee and developed
plans for the implementation of 19 of the 29 goals. The work of the teams that produce implementation reports is supported by the Implementation Resource Support Team which consists of key
representatives from across UNCG. Divisional and unit plans to support the UNCG Strategic Plan have also been developed and departmental and office plans are under development.
The 2010-2011 Strategic Plan Report shows how divisions and units supported the plan during that academic year and documents continuous improvement in institutional effectiveness resulting from
their work. During 2012, senior leadership and shared governance groups revisited the plan, assessing progress and modifying it to reflect progress made, emerging issues, and resources available.
Plans for the implementation of three additional goals were developed during the 2012-2013 academic year, but due to financial constraints they will not be initiated at this time. The implementation plans for two additional goals are under development during 2013-2014. The concise version of the revised plan is available by
clicking here, a version listing the initiatives developed to support goals is available by
clicking here, and the Complete UNCG Strategic Plan 2009-2014, including descriptions of the initiatives planned to support the 19 goals
under implementation is available by clicking here.

Grey's Anatomy debuted as a mid-season replacement for Boston Legal in 2005, and became a bona fide success after just nine episodes. The combination of medical drama, likable but flawed characters coming of age, and one hot doc known as McDreamy catapulted the show to smash hit status the following season.
Critically, Seasons Three and Four failed to live up to the lofty standards of the first two but the series remains one of the top ten highest rated on TV.
Grey's Anatomy is created by Shonda Rhimes. Its diverse and talented cast stars Ellen Pompeo, Patrick Dempsey, Sandra Oh, Chandra Wilson, Katherine Heigl, T.R. Knight, Justin Chambers, James Pickens, Jr., Brooke Smith, Eric Dane, Sara Ramirez and Chyler Leigh.
Former stars include Isaiah Washington (fired) and Kate Walsh (left for spin-off Private Practice).

(I started this document to tie in to the "24 Hours in Democracy" project. I didn't finish it in time, but I still wanted to say it, so here it is.)
The World Wide Web reminds me of an old Judy Garland / Mickey Rooney musical. "I've got a PC!" "Great, I've got a modem!" "And Uncle AOL has a couple of megabytes of disk space to spare. Let's put on a show!"
I mean, think about this. For a few hundred dollars' worth of computer parts (and you don't even have to own the computer!) and a few dollars a month paid to a service provider, I can reach the world. I'm writing these words in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Where are you?
You downloaded these words from a file server at AOL. (Where exactly that server is, I have no idea, nor do I need to know, nor do you.) Many of you are seeing them a handful of hours (or minutes!) after I write them. All you have to know is the phrase http://home.earthlink.net/~dtaylor404, and they're all yours. I'm not Dan Rather or Bill Clinton, that you should have such timely access to what I say. I'm just a person--no more, no less.
The point is, we exist (I, as I write this, and you, as you read) in a community that could not have existed when we were born. We are not particularly exceptional people, as people go: Yet we share a global forum in which exchanging thoughts with someone on the other side of the planet is no more difficult than ordering out for pizza. (Which, come to think of it, can also be done on the Web in some cities.)
Microsoft has a web site. So do I. Except for the fact that they have a ton of software available for downloading, it's not immediately apparent that they put far more money into their web presence than I put into mine. That's democracy. There's no real difference between their site and mine. Mine is just as "real" as theirs is, whatever that means on the Web.
What we have here is a medium that can sweep across cultural and economic lines like no other medium before it. The average individual can't afford to own a television station, or a radio station, or a newspaper, or a magazine, or anything that can be described as a mass medium. (Feature films have been financed with personal credit cards, but only in unusual cases.) Yet here I am, gently tossing my thoughts into the ether, where they are paradoxically as close as my fingertip and as far away as Moscow, Tokyo, and Sydney.
Or Washington, D.C., which inches us a little closer to the purpose of this page.
Certainly, anybody who has taken the political route to Power has to be intimidated by the Internet, the planet's first and largest functioning libertarian society. Certainly, white racists and black "affirmative action" activists are united in their distrust of a culture in which people really are judged by the content of their minds and not the color of their skins. And people (or organizations) with money are discovering that there is nothing about having money that makes one better able to create HTML code.
The value of a Web page is in the thoughts and ideas it expresses. Imagine that.
And, of course, where there is thought, and a venue in which to express it, there will always be those who seek to minimize its influence, under the guise of "protecting" those too easily manipulated. These "thought police" believe in freedom of speech...for themselves, because they know they are good and pure. The rest of us are free to say what we are supposed to say.
The opposite of progress...
The United States Congress has achieved some dim awareness that the Internet as it currently exists is an outgrowth of the Arpanet, and I think that they think they own it. A quick stop at the Clue Store would quickly dispel the notion, but I don't think they have a branch in the 202 area code. Certainly I've seen little sign of it.
The American mass media have gleefully cooperated in generating a picture of the Internet as the last refuge of the pedophiles. Surely, there must be unsavory types on the Net, as there are anywhere. A cursory glance would indicate that we intend to allow their presence to dictate how the Net may be used, "to protect our children." Hence, the creation of a climate in which it actually looks reasonable to create and pass the Communications Decency Act in full knowledge that it is unconstitutional.
(Let me get this straight. 535 legislative monkeys at typewriters produce laws at will, sensical and non-, and trust to the Supreme Court to throw out the really loony ones? If that's so, where does the real legislative power lie? And, ultimately, why do we need the monkeys?)
I don't think it's that simple. This looks all too familiar; the press generates an atmosphere of fear, and the government exploits that fear to grant itself emergency powers we would never allow it to have under normal circumstances -- and then We The People "get used to it" and forget to ask when those powers expire. It worked with the Internal Revenue Service, it worked with the War On Drugs, it almost worked with nationalized healthcare, and it's about to work in the name of abolishing online pornography. Whatever that is.
If I were really paranoid, I would wonder whether Our Elected Representatives are merely exploiting an existing situation, or engaged in actively creating hysteria, together with the self-appointed Forces of Good in the public sector and in the Mass Media.
I really don't want to think such a -- well, let's use the word "conspiracy" -- is possible on the scale it would require. But darn it, doesn't it explain a lot?

Vängruppen för Syriens folk - den 1 april i Istanbul - samlat nordiskt-baltiskt tal 1 april 2012
Carl Bildt, Utrikesminister
Tal av utrikesminister Carl Bildt på Danmark, Estland, Finland, Island, Lettland, Litauen, Norge och Sveriges vägnar
I have the honour to deliver this statement on behalf of Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway and my own country, Sweden.
Five weeks ago we met in Tunis, against the backdrop of escalating repression and violence in Syria as well as a deadlocked UN Security Council, to consolidate our support for peace, democracy and dignity for the people of Syria.
And we all welcomed the appointment of Kofi Annan as Joint Special Envoy of the UN and the League of Arab States.
The weeks since then have seen further repression and violence, more death and destruction.
And the deeper the scars of confrontation becomes, the more difficult will be the path of diplomacy and reform.
Nevertheless, this is the path we must seek to pursue.
We fully endorse the six-point plan presented by Kofi Annan, which now has the support also of the UN Security Council. We note that the Syrian regime has accepted the plan. But the violence has not stopped. We must keep the pressure on the Syrian regime to force them to deliver on their promise.
It is only by having the solid support of the entire international community that Kofi Annan has the possibility to convince the regime in Damascus and everyone concerned into going from words to deeds in the step-by-step implementation of this plan.
Nothing of this will come easy, and failure can certainly not be excluded.
But we have a collective duty to do our utmost to prevent the country and region from descending into the hell of full-scale civil war.
It could take decades to recover, and the lives lost would be lost forever.
Our support for the democratic forces of Syria is steadfast.
We welcome the presence here today of representatives of these forces.
Your task is to create the confidence among all of the citizens of Syria - whatever their creed or convictions - that you will and you can offer a better future for all of them.
Syria is, and must remain, a nation of many beliefs and traditions. It is from this that it historically has drawn its strength.
We also salute the efforts of the Syrian National Council and other democratic movements. We welcome the results of the conference of the opposition here in Istanbul, and encourage the opposition to continue to unite, and to strengthen the coordination between groups inside and outside of Syria.
As members and partners of the European Union we have set out our position on Syria clearly.
We are now implementing increasingly rigorous sanctions and restrictive measures against the regime.
These are meant to reinforce our call for true political reform.
But we also stand ready to help a new Syria develop its economy and its full potential.
It is important that we are already starting to prepare this work. We welcome the proposal to set up a working group on this as well as on other topics.
The immediate humanitarian situation is grave, and it is deteriorating.
The Syrian authorities must allow full humanitarian access. This is an imperative demand.
And the Nordic and Baltic nations are ready to further increase our contribution to these efforts.
Our hope is that a political process can soon start. But we commend Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan for keeping their borders open for those fleeing the violence and repression, and we stand ready to give them our help.
Finally, and on behalf of the Nordic-Baltic countries, I would like to express my appreciation to Turkey and Qatar for co-hosting this important meeting of the Friends of the People of Syria.

Neo4j Querying for SQL People
Remember how useful it was to see how MapReduce translates to SQL? In a similar vein, Andrés Taylor dives into Cypher, the Neo4j querying language introduced in Neo4j 1.4, explaining it from the perspective of an SQL person:
Unlike SQL which operates on sets, Cypher predominantly works on subgraphs. The relational equivalent is the current set of tuples being evaluated during a SELECT query.

NoSQL: It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like SQL
Stephen O'Grady:
It is too early to handicap the probable outcomes for these various query language projects. Nor is it certain that NoSQL will achieve the same consolidation the relational market did around a single approach; the differing approaches of the various NoSQL projects argue against this, in fact.
If by consolidation we mean having a query language that pseudo-works (by imposing tons of limitations, like GQL), I think we'll be better of with custom query languages that take full advantage of their underlying NoSQL database engine.
Programming languages are not unified. Nor are file systems. And we are still using them to take full advantage of their unique features.

Aster Data SQL-MapReduce Technology Patent
From a Teradata PR announcement:
SQL-MapReduce® is a framework which enables fast, investigative analysis of complex information by data scientists and business analysts. It enables procedural expressions in software languages (such as Java, C#, Python, C++, and R) to be parallelized across a group of linked computers (compute cluster) and then activated for use (invoked) with standard SQL.
The closest open source solution I can think of is Pig , created and open sourced by Yahoo! (PDF).

Tunning SQL, No Need for NoSQL
The most common complaint against NoSQL is that if you know how to write good SQL queries then SQL works fine. If SQL is slow you can always tune it and make it faster.
Let's keep in mind two things:
- performance is not equivalent to scalability
- most NoSQL databases have been created to deal with scalability issues. And they offer a different, non-relational, data model.
A NoSQLite might counter that this is what key-value database is for. All that data could have been retrieved in one get, no tuning, problem solved. The counter is then you lose all the benefits of a relational database and it can be shown that the original was fast enough and could be made very fast through a simple turning process, so there is no reason to go NoSQL.
There's the third thing too: you shouldn't always obey the Law of the instrument. Polyglot persistence is a viable option.

MongoDB Map Reduce: Yet another tutorial
As the title says, this is yet-another-tutorial on Map Reduce using MongoDB. But two things that are different here:
- A problem solving approach is used, so we'll take a problem, solve it in SQL first and then discuss Map Reduce.
- Lots of diagrams, so you'll hopefully better understand how Map Reduce works.
If MapReduce still didn't click, you could try this SQL to MongoDB MapReduce guide.

RavenDB: Emulating Group By Using MapReduce
Basic, but clear example with everything you need to get this working:
RavenDB is a document database, and unlike a relational database (like say Microsoft SQL Server) – you can't do your usual group-by type queries quite as simply. […] For RavenDB instead I need to use a Map-Reduce query. The basics of this are that the first part (the Map) runs over the documents, and finds the matches. The reduce then takes the found matches, and summarises (reduces) the result set.

SQL vs NoSQL: Twinkle, Twinkle, NoSQL!
Story and script by Latha Annur Subramaniam:
In case you have a hard time reading it:
RDBMS (SQL) was worried when the news about a new technology called NoSQL
SQL: Oh, he is this new NoSQL guy. People say he is here to beat me out. Hmm. I just hate him!
NoSQL: Howdy, senior SQL. How are you?
SQL: um… uh… oh Hi young man. Looks like you are new to this place?
NoSQL: Oh yeah! Just out of the 'Latest computing trends' school.
SQL: He is just a fresher. But I am his great grand senior. He can never take me down.
SQL: Hey, your name NoSQL sounds strange. Sounds like you are an anti-SQL guy.
NoSQL: Hm… true. I fell so unfortunate of my name. But I am never al alternate to you. In short, I am a new solution for the fresh new problems of this computing era… the "WEBSCALE" era.
SQL: (Hey he sounds modest. Am kinda like this guy) Oh. Am hearing this term for the first time. What is this W-E-B SCALE thing all about?
NoSQL: Interestingly, these days humans lead a much active social life on the WEB only.
NoSQLL Just like in their real life, people always need more and more of everything. Tweet, Search, Maps, Blog… their needs never end ;-)
SQL: Hmmm. Now I get it. I've been the darling for the enterprises for their data storage needs. But maybe they will abandom me and choose you, when they need more scale?!?!
NoSQL: Partially true. I can help them in scaling massively. But you are still the best in a lot of things.
NoSQL: For example, you are the Superstar when it comes to 'transaction based apps'. I can never beat you in your ACID qualities
NoSQL: Also, I am still not the best for 'Reporting' requirements. While my 'schemaless' quality helps dynamically add different types of data, it causes the drawback of not being helpful for reporting.
SQL: I fell you are the right fit for the modern social apps.
NoSQL: You are the right bet for the critical business apps… soon until I catch up with you
SQL: HaHaHa
SQL: Yup. I wish you good luck, young man.
NoSQL: Thank you, senior. Btw, my name doesn't mean a NO to SQL!!! It is only that I am NOT only SQL :-)
SQL: and so I dedicate this song to you buddy:
Twinkle, twinkle NoSQL Was wondering who you are Out into this computing world, I wish you success all around!!!
Definitely not as good as MongoDB is web scale.

NoSQL Is ... SQL at Scale
Cannot wonder what happened to Benjamin Black since it's only a couple of weeks since "yelling": "NoSQL took away the relational model and gave nothing back". But it looks like he came up with the answer:
This is SQL at scale: radically simple schema, extremely narrow interface, asynchronous writes, and application-layer management of data distribution and query aggregation. These are also the properties of many non-relational databases. At this scale, most of the advantages of a relational database — ACID semantics and complex, ad-hoc queries — are traded for other advantages: operational simplicity, linear performance scaling, geographic distribution, and extreme fault tolerance.
And I'd say this is only from the perspective of scale. Others to consider: data (as in format, importance, etc.), operational costs.

Redisql: Redis with Extensive SQL Flavor
So I wrote Redisql which is an extension of redis that also supports a large subset of SQL. […] Redisql supports all redis data types and functionality (as it's an extension of redis) and it also supports SQL SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE (including joins, range-queries, multiple indices, etc…) -> lots of SQL, short of stuff like nested joins and Datawarehousing functionality (e.g. FOREIGN KEY CONSTRAINTS). So using a Redisql library (in your environment's native language), you can either call redis operations on redis data objects or SQL operations on relational tables, its all in one server accessed from one library.
This might actually be the beginning of the future polyglot persistence. Indeed future complete polyglot persistence systems will need to provide simple sets of knobs and engines for different data models.

Cafua das Mercês
In a building that was once a 'holding facility' for slaves newly arrived from Africa, this museum has a small but interesting exhibition on slavery, the slave trade and Afro-Brazilian culture.
In a building that was once a 'holding facility' for slaves newly arrived from Africa, this museum has a small but interesting exhibition on slavery, the slave trade and Afro-Brazilian culture.
The Palácio dos Leões is the state governor's palace, built in the 18th century on the site of the original French fort; it contains a wealth of valuable antique furnishings and art, mostly French from the 18th and 19th centuries. Next along the handsome plaza is the Palácio de la Ravardière , dating back to 1689 and now the Prefeitura (City Hall).
An impressive 19th-century mansion houses three fascinating floors of exhibits on São Luís' festivals – Carnaval, Bumba Meu Boi and Divino Espírito Santo – and its Afro-Brazilian cults such as Umbanda and tambor de mina . Staff will show you round and explain, but speakers of English or other non-Portuguese languages may or may not be available.
This 19th-century market building now trades in an interesting variety of typical Maranhão crafts and foods, from dried prawns and Brazil nuts to an artificially colored purple cassava liquor called tiquira . It also has a couple of bars that get animated in late afternoon.
In a restored 1836 mansion, the Museu Histórico e Artístico is set out as it might have been in days of yore, displaying all the furnishings, valuables and everyday belongings of an upper-class 19th-century family – including a private theater. It's very well done.
At the eclectic and fascinating Casa do Nhôzinho, you can see a collection of ingenious fish traps, rooms of Maranhão indigenous artisanry, and hosts of colorful, delicate Bumba Meu Boi figurines made by the 20th-century master artisan Mestre Nhôzinho.
In this building that once housed a slave market (notice the absence of windows), the Museu do Negro exhibits relics of slavery including a replica whipping-post, and a striking collection of wood carvings and statuettes from West Africa.
Inside a gigantic converted warehouse, the Casa do Maranhão houses a comprehensive exhibit on the different regional flavors of Bumba Meu Boi, with guided tours in Portuguese. The ground floor has videos on Maranhão's main tourist attractions.
Interesting exhibits of artifacts from Maranhão's indigenous cultures past and present, from contemporary feather adornments to ancient ax-heads, plus models of megafauna that roamed Maranhão 95 million years ago.
This restored 19th-century mansion houses the Memorial do Centro Histórico , with models and before-and-after photos of some of the outstanding restoration works, plus a display on traditional boats of Maranhão.
Next door to the Palácio dos Leões, the Palácio de la Ravardière is the Prefeitura (City Hall) and dates back to 1689. A bust of São Luís' French founder, Daniel de la Touche, stands before it.
The 17th-century cathedral, the Igreja da Sé looks along Av Dom Pedro II from its top end. Inside are ceiling frescoes decorated with babaçu motifs and a fine baroque altar.

Windows Through the Years
As Microsoft Corp. prepares to release Windows 8, a major OS refresh that melds desktop and mobile functionality, it's important to see how the Redmond, Wash., vendor's ubiquitous platform has evolved over the past quarter century. From Windows 1.0 to Bob to Vista and beyond, here's a look at Microsoft's efforts — some memorable, some forgettable, but all of them a part of the history of personal computing. > NEXT PAGE
One Response to "Windows Through the Years"
Woah there, who are you callin' dumbed down? Windows 8 is an improvement on 7 with all the same functionality and some new. Praising 7 and belittling 8 makes no sense.
