Arbouretum / Pontiak Discography
- 01. Time Doesnt Lie
- 02. Buffalo Ballet
- 03. Flood of Floods
- 04. Dome under the Sky
- 05. The Endless Plain of Fortune
- 06. Green Pool
- 07. Mr. Wilson
Pontiak is three brothers from the Blue Ridge farm country of Virginia. Van, Lain and Jennings Carney did not play music together until the three were older and moved to Baltimore from various points around the country. Their enthusiasm quickly turned to obsession and soon they were building their studio in the barn on their farm and moving back to focus entirely on recording and playing. They quietly released their debut record Valley of Cats distributing it themselves at shows. But it certainly got our attention, as did the undeniable follow up album Sun on Sun. The results, swaggering guitar rock, straddle the line between a power trio and something whose expansive results exceed the trio format. Their broad song structures allow ample room for Van's amazing vocals and guitar work to stretch and captivate. Julian Cope described them as "straddling a wide sonic rift valley, with references that stretch from the southern latitudes of Spain's Viaje A800 to the northern majesty of Black Sabbath and Harvey Milk via the Doors."
Arbouretum hail from Baltimore and are led by Dave Heumann, who also plays with Nathan Bell of Lungfish in Human Bell. They use the basic structure of folk-affected rock songs to paint broad landscapes rich with literary allusions, loner ballads, fuzzy bass and acid drenched guitar solos. Arbouretum released their Thrill Jockey debut, Rites of Uncovering, in January 2007, and since have toured Europe and the States multiple times, including outings with Dead Meadow and Beach House. Human Bell released a debut full length earlier this year on Thrill Jockey before touring the US with Boredoms; Dave Heumann has also played with The Anomoanon, Bonnie "Prince" Billy and Cass McCombs.
Arbouretum and Pontiak will tour together this fall in support of Kale. Pontiak's Sun on Sun album will get a proper release in September and Arbouretum is currently working on new material for a follow-up album to Rites of Uncovering.

Provided by Sam's Club
For families with children headed off to college this fall, sales tax-free holidays offer a window of savings that can help make stocking up for life away from home a little easier. Texas's sales tax-free holiday is Aug. 17-19, and local Sam's Club locations are providing additional ways to save by hosting Open House events that weekend. During the Open House, non-members can shop at Sam's Club without a membership and are not required to pay the customary 10 percent service fee if they make a purchase.
Sales Tax-Free Holiday
Parents will spend an average of $2,450* as they prepare to send a student to college, and sales tax-free events provide a way to stretch their back-to-college budgets even further. In Texas, items exempt from state sales tax during the tax-free weekend include clothing and school supplies. (Editor's note: go to http://www.window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/taxpubs/tx98_490/tx98_490.html for a complete listing of items that are exempt and not exempt from state sales tax during this event.)
In some cases, the money saved on sales tax exempt items is enough to purchase additional items. For example, purchasing $300 in clothing would yield enough savings to buy a 30 ct. box of Nature Valley Oats 'N Honey Bars for $7.98 and a 12 ct. box of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese for $10.12. Some of the merchandise available for purchase at Texas Sam's Club locations and eligible for sales tax-free status includes:
"Care Packages" for College and Cool "Bundles"
SamsClub.com is also a destination for semester-long savings on items to get students through the first few months away from home. Moms and students can get household cleaning supplies, dry groceries, eyeglasses and health and beauty items, basic classroom supplies, prescription medications, small appliances and bath linens to help them outfit their dorm or apartment.
Many popular back-to-college items are available for purchase online in convenient bundles. These include:
Once the school year is underway, moms can restock their students' supplies of essential toiletries, household items and dry groceries by purchasing care packages online. These packages are sold for less than $100 and can be shipped directly to students. Care packages include:
24-7 Free Tech Support
Thanks to Sam's Club Tech Experts, students will not stress over laptop, TV or digital music player set-up and maintenance. When Sam's Club members dial 1-877-758-4346, they receive free assistance for any television, home theater, digital music player, camera/camcorder or computer purchased at Sam's Club. With expert tech support available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, Sam's Club Tech Experts are available even when pizza delivery is not.
Collegiate Membership & Open House Savings
For students seeking savings, Sam's Club offers a Collegiate Membership for $40 which includes a $15 gift card upon sign-up and discounts on textbooks.com, plus an extra card for a lucky roommate or study partner. Students must show valid student identification or an email with an ".edu" suffix to qualify. For additional savings throughout the semester, Collegiate Members can receive a Sam's Club gift card on qualifying purchases through Textbooks.com. For more information on A+ savings and services at Sam's Club, visit SamsClub.com/backtoclass.

WALLA WALLA - Baseball fans watching the World Series this weekend when the Texas Rangers host the San Francisco Giants probably won't see Walla Walla Community College sophomore Jordan Patnaude on the field at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.
But they will see Patnaude's contribution to the games on every play.
Patnaude, a student in WWCC's turf management program, will be a part of the grounds crew that prepares and maintains the playing field at the park for this weekend's games. He interned with the Rangers' grounds crew from late March to the first week of September as part of his WWCC course work, and was invited to return on the team's dime for its World Series games Saturday and Sunday.
"I don't know what they're going to have me doing," Patnaude said of his duties this weekend. "But I'll be busy."
That much, Patnaude knows. During homestands for his internship, the grounds crew's day began about 8 a.m., and ended close to midnight.
This weekend during the World Series, Patnaude figures it'll be even more hectic.
"I'll probably sleep at the stadium," he said.
Patnaude said his internship with the Rangers helped greatly in his goal of working full-time in warm-weather-grass stadiums.
"The experience was amazing, they threw me in the fire right away," he said of arriving in Arlington in late March. "I started mowing right away."
Patnaude's responsibilities included mowing the outfield and maintaining the bullpens to Major League Baseball standards.
"I'd check the bullpens every morning before getting on the mower," he said. "The bullpens have to be just like the game mound."
The Rangers' grounds crew staff, consisting of three full-time employees, a seasonal worker and two interns, is much smaller than most MLB crews. Patnaude said the crew at Triple A Albuquerque, where he interned before Texas, is that size.
Most MLB crews have 12-15 members, Patnaude said.
Patnaude said the Rangers' head grounds keeper likes the smaller staff. It also so happens the staff was cut due to Texas filing for bankruptcy earlier this season.
But Patnaude's career goals were more clearly defined by his time in Arlington.
"It was absolutely amazing," he said. "I went in looking for a Major League job, but now that I've worked at the Major League level, I don't want to go back. Too many chiefs, not enough Indians.
"I looked for places (to intern) because I want to deal with warm-season grass, so Texas was obviously one of the first places to have a job posting for that," Patnaude said. "The experience was amazing. I didn't even know what Bermuda grass looked like (when he started his internship). And now, I really think I could manage a baseball field with Bermuda grass. They taught me that well.
"I wouldn't take anything back."
Patnaude didn't have much trouble with loyalty to the Rangers while interning in Arlington. His favorite team, the Minnesota Twins, only visited Rangers Ballpark once while he was there.
"I'm a big Minnesota Twins fan," Patnaude said. "But I'll root for the Rangers with the Twins out (of the playoffs)."
The Twins' visit also coincided with the visit of WWCC's turf management program coordinator Bill Griffth, who visits as many interns as possible.
"Jordan did extremely well in his internship," Griffith said. "He's held in high regard. He's got a good future."
It also so happens that the former grounds crew boss in Albuquerque when Patnaude interned there is now an assistant with the Twins, which might conflict with Patnaude's feelings about not returning to the big leagues.
"I have a huge 'in' there," he said.
But Patnaude really sees himself heading for spring-training-type venues, places like Florida, Arizona or Southern California. He'll begin applying for jobs after the first of the year, as he completes his coursework at WWCC in March.
"I really want to work warm-season grass, where they play baseball all-year round," he said.
This weekend, he'll focus his attention on once again keeping Rangers Ballpark in Arlington in tip-top shape on the biggest stage in baseball.
"I want to see some really good baseball," Patnaude said. "But I'm going to be busy."

The Rangers did not hold a morning skate Tuesday in South Florida, opting instead to conduct their normal game-day meetings at the team hotel. This is the normal course for the Rangers on their trips down to play the Panthers since the BB&T Center is so far from the hotel.
All of the healthy players---including the still sidelined Marc Staal and Derek Dorsett---practiced on Monday. The lone exception was team captain Ryan Callahan, who took a well-deserved maintenance day.
In the dressing room after practice, laughter was abundant and the team seemed relaxed and confident---a by-product for sure of a three-game winning streak and having posted an 8-2-1 record down the stretch thereby solidifying their place in the Eastern Conference standings.
Mats Zuccarello playfully teased Rick Nash about the "monster hit" he delivered during practice on Nash, who only stands nine inches taller than the 5-foot-7 Norwegian.
"This is great, I am having so much fun," said Zuccarello. "I just want to get up and go the rink and be with the guys every day."
Blessed with an upbeat, positive, fun-loving personality, Zuccarello has always enjoyed his time with the Rangers---starting with the 42 games he played with the team in 2010-11---but there is something different this year for him. Part of it is consistently winning games---the team is 8-3-1 in the 12 games Zuccarello has played since re-signing---and the other part is getting the chance to have consistent ice-time as a top-six forward really for the first time in his three-year tenure with the Blueshirts.
"I had fun before, too, but it's kind of different when you feel more a part of the team by playing a litte bit more," noted Zuccarello, who has three goals, three assists, and six points in his 12 games this season. "Of course I think you also have to be serious, come to the rink every day and do your job and try to earn that playing time. It's not going to come for free. That's why I think we have a perfect mix right now."
Rangers head coach John Tortorella has praised Zuccarello upon his return to the NHL for his creative offensive play, as well as for his improved defensive play. Zuccarello has also played more physically down below the hash marks, and his teammates have taken notice of his improved conditioning.
"I didn't see a lot of Zucc last year, but he is faster this year, for sure," Brad Richards said of the popular Zuccarello who spent much of 2011-12 in the minor leagues. "You can see his improved skating, and part of that is his conditioning. He (and Taylor Pyatt) have helped me play better being my linemates."
Zuccarello has high praise for his center, Richards, as well, calling the Rangers alternate captain "a real role model" for the players on the team, and for him personally.
"Brad has been in this league a long time, has won the Cup, and is a role model for us younger players," said Zuccarello. "It's the way he works so hard every day, and the way he talks to you on the ice. For me it's being able to talk to him about hockey. Outside he is a normal guy like the rest of us, but on the ice you can see that he knows the game and has good advice. Off the ice he is one of the guys, jokes around, but on the ice he is a great leader. It's what a role model should be like."
Both Zuccarello and Richards spoke Monday about their on-ice chemistry. Certainly the Rangers want to see more of that when they skate against the Panthers tonight as they try and lock down a playoff berth in the East.
What have you thought of Mats Zuccarello's play since returning? Share your thoughts below.

Texans cornerbacks Johnathan Joseph and Kareem Jackson missed practice for the second straight day. Joseph is dealing with a sore toe and Jackson has an illness. Head coach Gary Kubiak said he expects both to return to practice tomorrow.
"I expect them both to practice tomorrow," said Kubiak. "I think [Kareem]'s doing much better today. He stood back there with me in practice and was very involved. I think he's doing a lot better."
Yesterday, Johnathan Joseph was asked why he'd missed practice.
"I'm just taking it easy," said Joseph. "Coach has been doing this since training camp and I think it has been working for us and we want to continue to stay on this schedule. I just do what the coach tells me to do."
Defensive Coordinator Wade Phillips was a bit concerned with his banged up starting corners.
"You always worry about that," said Phillips. "We've got other guys certainly that can play. We'll look tomorrow and see if they practice."
Phillips was optimistic the duo would be back at practice tomorrow. Phillips also said Joseph's toe wasn't an issue in Baltimore Sunday…a game where Ravens receiver Torrey Smith was able to beat him several times.

November 14, 2013
By: Five Star Alliance, K. Clare Johnson
So maybe you've been through a pretty bad break-up or divorce. Maybe you think that going on vacation alone, while heartbroken, is the worst idea ever, and you'd rather stay home and eat ice cream in your pajamas while watching reality TV. Well, you would be wrong. Enter "The Power of One." Here are some getaway experiences tailored to guests travelling alone or looking to get away from it all and spend some quality time with themselves.
At Aleenta Phuket-Phang Nga, the three-night "Power of One: No More Tears" package offers:
• One Taste: Singles enjoy a gourmet picnic to enjoy solo as they soak in the serenity and solitude of the resort's pristine Natai Beach, with headphones and a special playlist prepared by the resort to create the ultimate soundtrack for letting it out, getting it together, and moving on up.
• One Touch: Experience the Singleton's "I Will Survive" Spa Session, a combination of pampering, massage, relaxation and facial treatments to make you glow with inner confidence and radiant beauty, while Aleenta helps to wash that man right out of your hair.

And in the evening, release a hatchling into the wild in a stirring ceremony.

Surf the Bar at Turtle Bay Resort
Turtle Bay Resort is renowned as the only resort destination on Oahu's Fabled North Shore. The location is a flashpoint of global surfing, and the hotel plays host to the legendary Hans Hedemann Surf Center.
Given the hotel's close connection to surfing, the luxury beach hotel has paired up with Surfer the magazine to launch Surfer the Bar. Surfer is a partnership between Turtle Bay and Surfer magazine, the global bible of surfing culture. The drink of choice here is a 16-ounce pint of ice-cold beer, many of them local small-batch brews. The food is fresh, flavorful, sometimes spicy Hawaiian comfort food.
Surfer the bar has a stage for Hawaiian musicianship. In addition to scheduled performers, Surfer has quickly become a showcase for new talent as well as a platform for surprising, impromptu performances by celebrity musicians who like the Surfer vibe. Surfer the bar is also a screening room for international and local Big Wave filmmakers, documentarians and photographers who consider Surfer to be the perfect venue for sharing their craft with an appreciative audience who want to see the beauty, majesty and danger of the sea through the eyes of those who know it best. It is a studio for live webcasting of some of surfing's biggest pro events and up-close-and-personal musical concerts. It is also a soapbox for TalkStory, a centuries-old Hawaiian tradition roughly meaning "to converse informally and openly as good friends do."
Even if you've never caught a wave, spend enough time at Surfer the bar and you'll feel as if you are a hanging ten hero.

ATLANTA — The innings are adding up for Dillon Gee.
So are the wins.
After struggling the first two months, Gee has been a workhorse, and he continued his roll Wednesday by allowing only one run in seven innings to lead New York past the Atlanta Braves, 5-2.
Manager Terry Collins says he's not expecting Ike Davis to return from his strained right oblique this season. Davis had an anti-inflammatory injection on Tuesday in New York. Collins says third baseman David Wright, on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right hamstring "has made progress" and hopes to return this month.
Gee (11-9) has lasted at last six innings in 13 straight starts and has set career highs with 28 games started and 173.1 innings. He has a chance to reach 200 innings.
"I think he's bound and determined to do that," said manager Terry Collins before adding "Like I said last week, don't be surprised if you look up at the end of September and he has 14 or 15 wins."
Gee was 1-4 with a 5.96 ERA in April and 2-2 with a 5.46 ERA in May. Since then, he's 8-3 and has had his ERA under 3.00 every month.
"My main goals coming out of spring training this year were to get to 200 innings and take the ball every time it was my turn," Gee said. "I've done that so far."
Gee cruised after he was given a 5-0 lead in the third. He allowed one run on four hits and one walk.
Lucas Duda had three hits, including a home run, and Andrew Brown added a towering two-run shot for the Mets.
Freddie Freeman homered off Mets reliever Vic Black with two outs in the eighth, but Gee's strong start left the Braves too far behind.
Collins said a key to Gee's strong recovery from his rough opening two months has been avoiding walks.
"He's a guy that can pitch," said Atlanta's Elliot Johnson. "He's got four pitches that he's throwing in the strike zone whenever he feels like it. If you've got four pitches that you can command, it's going to be a tough day at the plate."
The Mets had 12 hits, including 11 in only 4.1 innings against Kameron Loe (0-2), who made his first start in the majors since 2007.

Highlights from a memorable FA Cup meeting four years ago.
En route to reaching the FA Cup final in 2009, Everton brushed aside Aston Villa in the fifth round, gaining revenge for the home league defeat suffered by Martin O'Neill's men just two months earlier.
Ashley Young's injury-time winner had edged a five-goal thriller in December, but when Villa returned to Goodison in February, they were convincingly eliminated from England's oldest knockout competition.
The 3-1 victory is best remembered for Jack Rodwell's first goal in Everton colours, scored after just three minutes.
Villa were back level pegging when James Milner netted just on seven minutes, although the Blues' advantage was regained from the penalty spot by Mikel Arteta midway through the first half.
15 minutes before the end, Tim Cahill converted from close range to seal Everton's passage through to the quarter-finals.

May 09, 2011, 4:00 PM — LAS VEGAS - EMC Monday unveiled a purpose-built appliance for processing both structured and unstructured data sets for business analytics tasks.
EMC today also announced the availability of two new business intelligence software products -- the Hadoop-based EMC Greenplum HD Community and Enterprise Editions -- at its EMC World user conference here.
Service contracts for both software products includes installation, training and global technical support.
The Greenplum HD Community Edition is a fully-certified downloadable free software stack. The software is based on Hadoop, an Apache data management software, and is optimized to run on virtual machines.
Greenplum HD Enterprise Edition is tailored for corporate data centers, with capabilities like fault tolerance through automated node failure detection and notification, multi-site management and data management features such as snapshots and wide area replication.
It also offers simple data loading from databases and access via a native Network File System (NFS) interface.
EMC claims its version of Hadoop delivers two to five times the performance over the standard packaged versions of Apache Hadoop.
EMC had signed an agreement with Cloudera last fall to use its Hadoop-based data management software and services.
However, Scott Yara, vice president of products with EMC's Data Computing Division and co-founder of Greenplum, said today that the company is moving in a "new direction" with partner MapR Technologies, a start-up in development mode for the past two years.
MapR built a proprietary replacement for the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) that can replace existing installations of the Hadoop file system.
John Schroeder, CEO of MapR, said his company's version of map reduce technology returns far faster data analytics results, and can manage larger data sets on fewer machines than current Hadoop iterations.
"We can reduce the size of a cluster," he told a gathering of reporters and analysts gathered at the show. "That's a tremendous TCO savings."
Luke Lonergan, CTO of EMC's Data Computing Division and another co-founder of Greenplum, added that EMC is working with dozens of resellers to get the MapR Hadoop software to customers. The distribution channels should go live later the second quarter of this year.
No pricing has yet been released for the Enterprise-edition.

11 questions about health careMarch 28,2013Gov. Peter Shumlin signed Act 48 into law in 2011, and Act 171 in 2012. Together they promise the achievement of the longtime liberal goal of a universal and unified health system, that is, a government-controlled health system rationally designed, managed, and enforced by five government experts titled the Green Mountain Care Board. The governors target date for launching the single-payer health system is 2017.
Here are 11 questions a citizen might want answered about the approaching single-payer revolution.
1. Has Vermont sought outside expertise to create this universal system?
After the Legislature spent half a million dollars on two earlier studies, the Shumlin administration paid $300,000 to the University of Massachusetts to explain the needed amounts and mechanisms to finance Green Mountain Care, and the impacts of various tax increases on taxpayers, businesses and the economy.
2. So how did they recommend that Green Mountain Care be financed?
We may never know, because two months before the reports due date (Jan. 15, 2013) the Shumlin administration told UMass to withhold any recommendations on how Vermont taxpayers could be made to produce the $1.6 billion a year three times the states income tax collections! needed to make Green Mountain Care viable. Gov. Shumlin now says the public doesnt need to know those details until, most likely, after the 2014 election.
3. Will every Vermonter be included in this new system when implemented?
Ideally yes, but actually no. Medicare and Veterans Administration health care, plus the coverage of federal employees in Vermont, will remain under federal control. More than 100,000 employees of larger businesses with self-insured health plans cant be forced into Green Mountain Care, per federal law (ERISA). So the single payer plan will be very far from universal, and the vast savings predicted from having only one payer state government largely disappears.
4. What is the health benefits exchange?
The Obama Affordable Care Act of 2010 pays participating states to establish insurance exchanges where households and businesses can go to purchase government-approved coverage. Alone among the 50 states, Vermont mandates that all individuals and all businesses with one to 50 employees must buy only through the exchange. Businesses with 51-100 employees will be mandated in by 2016. The Obama administration has paid the state of Vermont at least $126 million to create this exchange. (This is not a misprint.)
5. Whats the incentive to purchase through the exchange?
An approved exchange offers federal income tax credits to defray the expense of the premiums. Gov. Shumlin wants as many lives as possible to receive tax credits through the exchange, so in 2017 he can get the federal government to cash out the tax credits and write the state a big check to help finance Green Mountain Care. In fact, the state is aggressively encouraging employers to drop coverage, pay a federal penalty, and send their employees off to the exchange, to increase the tax credit total.
6. What if those employees dont have enough money to pay the higher cost premiums of the policies in the exchange, even with the federal tax credit?
Theyll become uninsured.
7. If the exchange isnt functional by Oct. 1, and individuals and small businesses are forbidden to purchase insurance outside the exchange, what will become of their health coverage?
When their current contracts expire, they will be uninsured, unless the administration waives the mandate requirement.
8. What will become of the exchange in 2017, when single-payer Green Mountain Care springs to life?
Under Green Mountain Care, there will no longer be any major medical health insurance. So the exchange will abruptly vanish after taxpayers spent some $160 million to create and operate it for three years.
9. How does Gov. Shumlin think the Green Mountain Care Board will solve the cost containment problem?
Mainly through payment reform. It will replace the predominant fee for service medicine with some new arrangement, whereby the GMC Board pays money to a provider group that agrees to provide more efficient care. In March the GMC Board got another $45 million federal grant to figure this out. The most familiar model to Vermonters is managed care, in one guise or another.
10. Is all this believable?
Gov. Shumlin staunchly maintains that it is. But longtime single-payer advocate Hamilton Davis has observed, The structural reforms that we need to get the rest of the way payment reform and system integration have not yet moved beyond the early planning and pilot project stage. These two initiatives sound reasonable enough, but they in fact presume a huge technical and cultural shift in the whole warp and woof of the delivery of health care, so that even 2017 will be a considerable stretch.
11. What will happen if this grand scheme doesnt work?
Chaos, probably.

Does Technology destroy our relationship with Nature?
I am an environmental Literature student, and I am interested in people's responses about the constitution of Nature, Technology, and the relationship that is apparently slowly being degraded with Nature.
All responses are welcome.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
May 18 2013: There's no reason to think that. And good reasons to see technology as a bridge to nature. I grew up in the 60's in NYC when there were no cell phones, texting, Internet, video games etc. Our schooling was believed to be good "catholic" educations. We thought absolutely nothing of pushing an automobile into a creek and lighting it on fire as whooping it up around it. Nothing whatever told us that that car would remain there creating a toxic waste situation in a tidal creek. We had no connection whatever to nature. In fact we had no connection whatever to each other except as friend or foe. bully or victim. There was no such thing--and there still isn't--called "social development" in which we could have learned that there is great value behind even the most unlikeliest of appearances. My duty in school was to shut up. My duty at home was to shut up and stop making noise so my dad could hear the Mets game on his radio. I learned last night you can download an ap for your smartphone, scan products at a supermarket and if you don't like the ecological or political agendas of the causes your goods manufacturers are linked to, you can instantly boycott them. That doesn't necessarily connect me with nature, but it gives me motivating power I wish I would have had all my life. Education in cities should start with bringing kids and showing them the remainders of the crimes against ecology that people walked passed for generations and saw as normal. When I was kind, I'd by an ice cream pop and throw the wrapper right on the street. All I know is it was gone the next day. It got so bad in the 70's--the cattle cars with graffiti that had become our subways to work and school that some sanity started to rear it's head. By the time I left NY a few years ago I went to the Peace Bell Ceremony at the UN every Earth Day morning. Shouldn't have taken 45 years to get there.

Don't be tempted by the 98 octane hi-revving twin-supercharged speedster; sometimes it's a simple, reliable, well-understood and easy-to-repair diesel you need.
One of my favourite episodes from Top Gear is the "Big Trip To Africa". Jeremy Clarkson and his two sidekicks have to buy a car each for £1,500 and then drive it across Botswana. James May (aka Captain Slow) picks an old Mercedes 230E. Jeremy and Richard Hammond laugh, thinking that driving an old German prestige car across Botswana's deserts is a rather silly choice. Actually, James' choice was a smart move. He picked the old German tank because the 230E is one of the most common cars in Africa, giving him access to lots of spare parts and skilled mechanics all along the trip, while Jeremy and Richard struggled to find parts and skilled people to fix their cars.
Building a web business is not exactly like driving across Botswana ☺. But when it comes to technology there is something to learn from Top Gear's "Big Trip To Africa". There are some important decisions to make when it comes to the technology choices for your web business. First let's look at the software component and then the hardware part.
You will need to pick a software bundle to power your web business — the stack of layers that will go in-between your hardware and your users. A typical software bundle for web applications will include:
If you can, go open source. Open source technologies will give you a lot of advantages:
A good example of Open Source package is LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl, PHP or Python). It's a great pick as it will save you cost of licensing commercial software and it's being widely used to drive many successful commercial web businesses. For example MySQL claims over 11 million customers and as of February 2009 Apache served over 49% of all websites. Other examples of popular web-services making extended use of LAMP are Digg, Facebook, Wikipedia, and WordPress. The popularity of the LAMP package means it is stable, is well documented in many resources around the web, and developers are easy to find when you need to hire people.
Now that you have your software bundle you need some hardware to power it. There are two things you have to keep in mind when working on a web service:
Your application needs to work efficiently regardless of the number of users. Having 10 or 100,000 users will make a huge difference on your hardware. The "cheap" (but at the end expensive) way of scaling an application is to add hardware (one server is not enough to handle the load? Let's plug another one…). This can become very expensive and may lead to dramatic issues when you scale beyond typical startup size. At some point, adding servers is prohibitively expensive or just not possible anymore. And what happens during the low season? You find yourself with a lot of useless and expensive servers to operate and maintain.
The smarter way is to use computer 'clouds' — a very interesting approach that eliminates a lot of scaling issues. Instead of using a single server, you plug your application into a farm of servers and you pay monthly a bill based on the resources you used. Companies such as Amazon and recently Google are offering such service (and some other, smaller, players like Mosso and Joyent).
Cloud computing is great but there are also some basic engineering/coding habits that will help you to deliver at low cost. For example; optimise your code. You don't want to have to rewrite part (or all) of your code because your idea is successful. So it is very important to write your code always thinking; "Is it the best way to do this? Is there anyway to do that with less code? Can I give the database a break?" The extra amount of work is definitely worth it.
What is true for hardware (computing power) is also true for storage and bandwidth. Most semi-pro/pro hosting companies will offer you bandwidth pricing in tiers (and same concept with storage capacity); 100gb/month, 2tb/month… Unfortunately it means that you always pay for something that you are not necessarily using and it also means that you will run into trouble if you exceed your credit limit (usually you pay for extremely expensive additional bandwidth or get throttled-back so some users have a disappointing experience).
To avoid that you want scalability (again). You want to pay for the bandwidth you are actually using and nothing more and you don't want to be limited. Here again the solution is in the cloud. Amazon provides a great service with its S3 storage / bandwidth service. Putting your files on Amazon S3 will also resolve your storage issue, as Amazon S3 storage capacity is virtually unlimited. And you will pay only what you are using. Google recently started something similar. Probably some very good things are going to happen in the near future in this area.
In the past two years, starting an online business has became easier than ever. Open source technologies have now reached a high level of maturity and cloud computing has emerged as a solution to scalability and has drastically reduced initial operational costs. This is good news for Internet entrepreneurs!
What has your experience been like with these new technologies? Are you fighting a prejudiced view internally? Has cloud computing helped your business yet? Please leave a comment about that and… have fun building awesome web-services!

Everyone forgets that Icarus also flew.
It's the same when love comes to an end,
or the marriage fails and people say
they knew it was a mistake, that everybody
said it would never work. That she was
old enough to know better. But anything
worth doing is worth doing badly.
Like being there by that summer ocean
on the other side of the island while
love was fading out of her, the stars
burning so extravagantly those nights that
anyone could tell you they would never last.
Every morning she was asleep in my bed
like a visitation, the gentleness in her
like antelope standing in the dawn mist.
Each afternoon I watched her coming back
through the hot stony field after swimming,
the sea light behind her and the huge sky
on the other side of that. Listened to her
while we ate lunch. How can they say
the marriage failed? Like the people who
came back from Provence (when it was Provence)
and said it was pretty but the food was greasy.
I believe Icarus was not failing as he fell,
but just coming to the end of his triumph.

After the draft, more draft!
Before we take our leave of the 2009 NFL draft, we look ahead to the 2010 edition. Andrew Perloff of SI.com has been kind enough to do a mock for next year and, while it's way too soon to take such things overly seriously, a mock draft is always fun to scan. And Perloff has the Falcons, who just took a big defensive tackle from the SEC West in Round 1, taking an even bigger one 12 months hence.
He's Terrence Cody of Alabama, also known as Mount Cody. (He weighs 365 pounds, or thereabouts.) It's also interesting that Perloff has the Falcons, who drafted 24th overall this time, picking 16th in 2010, which would seem to indicate he foresees some slippage in the 2009 season. Feel free to disagree. But, as you're griping, take note of these names:
- Sam Bradford, the Heisman holder from Oklahoma, goes No. 1 overall;
- Eric Berry, the Tennessee safety, goes No. 2;
- Tim Tebow, who plays for some school (I forget which) goes 13th;
- Jonathan Dwyer, the Georgia

If you would have Atari or Amiga you would have run into this problem
a number of years ago. :-)
> Lots of people write code which assumes the same number of bytes in
> pointers & integers;
That is correct. They also assume that longs are four bytes wide and
that "all the world is VAX". It is also correct that such code is simply
broken as written. There is also quite a few programs around written by
people who do not subscribe "it happens to work on my machine, therefore
is right" school of programming.
> when I try to compile such code it complains
> something like
> "warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size"
> And when I try to run , it dumps core, like it's supposed to.
Such "warnings" point, nearly always, to a deadly problem and the code
needs to be fixed.
> My question; is there a compiler switch I can use to make the pointers 4
> bytes or the integers 8, so this stuff will work without major surgery?
As 32-bit version of Linux for AXP vanished in early stages, so I am
afraid that you just need to fix sloppy practices of others. Carefuly
including all required headers and adding prototypes very often goes
a looong way towards working program. gcc has actually a switch which
makes missing prototypes into an error. It is a good idea to use it in
a porting work.
> Or am I doomed to wading through dozens of
> "warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size"
> messages?
Wading through messages does not help. You have to make them
disappear. You should be happy that your compiler helps you to spot
bad code. It is much harder to that from a debugger. :-)

Subaru is making a quick turnaround with its XV Concept car by offering up a production model in the same year. The concept was revealed at the 2011 Shanghai Motor Show while the production version was officially unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Known as the Impreza Outback in the US market, the new XV Crosstrek was introduced to show an SUV that will "define a new generation of Subaru crossover vehicles."
The concept was favorably received globally thanks to its distinctive and trendy design which blend a crossover-like commanding silhouette and an urban friendly image into one harmonious and elegant package. The Subaru XV's design symbolizes the fusion of SUV functionality and urban persona. IT carries a crossover design that combines a stylish, flowing form with the overall functionality of an SUV.
The hexagon grille and hawk eye headlights emphasize a unique identity of Subaru's future line-up of vehicles. The corners of the front and rear bumpers come with special edges that aids and improves aerodynamic performance, which in turn provides better fuel economy.
The interior of the XV is as roomy and spacious as any of its contemporaries. Combine that with a stylish design that perfectly balances the different tactile and emotional qualities of leather, metal, and cloth and you have the best of luxury and modern-day technology in one fine interior cabin.
Whereas the concept car was powered by a 2.0-liter four cylinder horizontally-opposed DOHC engine with an output of 150 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 146 lb/ft at 4,200 rpm, the XV Crosstrek will carry the same powertrain while also coming with a more palatable 1.6-liter petrol variant, as well as a 2.0-liter Boxer diesel engine.
UPDATE 11/18/2011: During the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show, Subaru has revealed that the XV Crossover headed to the US will officially be called the XV Crosstrek. Subaru thinks this will help differentiate it from its brother, the Impreza Outback Sport.

(Uplifting colorful Spring flowers, candles and artful appointments throughout the house while on the market in the winter can do the trick!)
It's mid-January and it's cold, gray and snowy. The department stores are filled with discounted merchandise left unpurchased during the holiday season and not looking particularly fresh, shiny or new! Unfortunately, the same can be said of some of the current housing inventory. While we have seen some sales in December 2012 and early January 2013, it is likely that there are several homes still left "on the shelf".
If your home is one of these, it is important for in selling your home to keep it looking fresh and "new to the market". As much as you might like to stop making the beds, cleaning up the clutter and shoveling the walkway, these are all critical to the buyer's view of your property. Keep those closets organized and stay vigilant about household disorder and odors. Keep fresh flowers on the table, fluff the pillows, light the lights and play soft music - it all forms an impression on the buyer. If you are on the market through seasonal changes, be sure that your real estate agent takes new photos of the home. Do not become that property that has flowering trees in its photo while snow is piled high outside our windows!
Every buyer deserves to see your property at its best. Follow these guidelines and you will likely see a return on your investment pretty quickly and your home won't be left on the shelf with the other unsold merchandise.

It has been one of those springs - weather-wise, but also weirdness-wise as well.
It all started when our ex-neighbour asked me to identify a bare-stemmed tree in her new garden. I was a bit flummoxed, as it was a deciduous tree with no special defining characteristics, so I told her to come back to me when it flowered. When she did it was immediately obvious what it was - the wonderful flowering crab apple, Malus ionensis 'Plena'.
This double-flowered crab must be the most commonly planted of all the flowering apples in New Zealand, perhaps because when in flower it looks so much like a flowering cherry. Also known as the Bechtel Crab, this is a beautiful small-growing tree with a fabulous floral display in spring - masses of fully-double, light-pink flowers, tinged with deeper pink are carried for weeks on end. When in full flower the mildly fragrant flowers cover the tree - it is a wonderful sight.
My ex-neighbour should have recognised it - we have a 15-year-old specimen of this tree in our garden - it is one of the highlights of our back garden.
Then a few weeks later I was visiting an auntie in Wairarapa Hospital and she asked me to pull back the blind and tell her what kind of tree was growing outside her window.
Even though she is a great gardener, she could not work out what the tree was. She thought it might be a flowering cherry. Needless to say, it was the Bechtel Crab again!
I had a wander around the hospital gardens while visiting her, then had a better look the other day. The gardens are going to be open for tours on Sunday, so it might be a good chance to look through the gardens and hear from designer Lin Eglinton some of the thought processes that have gone into the construction of a very interesting set of plantings.
Most of you will have seen the plantings at the main entrance, where beds of rengarenga lilies, Arthropodium cirrhatum, are currently popping up their flower heads, alongside clivias, azaleas and euphorbias, in the fullness of their flowering with giant masses of flower. This bed features topiary in the shape of children, giving a very dramatic feature to the garden.
One of the features of the garden as a whole is the use of clipped hedging, often quite low. In the entrance garden Lin had used the Wairarapa native Muehlenbeckia astonii, a coastal plant that had strongly divaricating branches covered with small green, heart-shaped leaves. It is threatened in the wild, but has become a favourite of garden designers with its unusual growth habits and bright clean look.
Alongside it a bed of the dwarf Agapanthus 'Streamline' is just thrusting up its pale blue flowers. It will look stunning in the next few months.
In the body of the hospital are two large courtyards, one containing a children's playground, and a long rill of water. It has box hedging and an interesting mix of hydrangeas, with an intriguing twist in the selection of varieties. One variety is the double, white-flowered 'Trophy', first found in his Coromandel garden by Tony Owens. The other is the oak-leaved American species, H. quercifola with its wonderful conical shaped flowers semi-covered with a mix of fertile and sterile flowers giving the lace cap effect so beloved by Hydrangea fans.
There are also some other intriguing plants in the beds in these two courtyards, with even some brightly flowering convolvulus to treasure. Most people are horrified at the thought of deliberately planting some convolvulus, their only experience being with the terrible bindweed that is so difficult to eradicate but there are some lovely shrubby members of the genus that should be treasured. I was pleased to see the wonderful silver-leaved, white-flowered C. cneorum. This is a lovely little dwarf shrub of tidy habit that can easily be trimmed to form a small hedge, but if left untrimmed it will flower for months from late spring. As you might expect from a silver-leaved shrub it can cope with hot and dry conditions, and generally prefers a well-drained soil, making it great for elevated beds and containers.
Its mauve-blue flowered sprawling counterpart, Convolvulus sabatius (syn. C. mauritanicus) 'Blue Lake', is also planted and thriving. It is a brightly-coloured, long-flowering cultivar of a popular groundcover from Italy and northern Africa, bluer than the type species but still hardly blue! It has great value though, as it can cope with those tough dry conditions that try the patience of most gardeners, and will happily weave its way through other plants.
As I wandered around I was happy to find the crab apple trees I had seen through the window, happily flowering in the chapel garden and even though it is weeks since I saw them in flower there were still a few flowers and buds. There was a lovely border of the exuberant rose 'Sally Holmes' in full flower, and a pair of the wonderfully eccentrically shaped Robinia 'Lace Lady' flanking an entrance. I was also interested to see some very healthy 'Burgundy Iceberg' standard roses standing proud in a box-lined bed.
Nearby is an intriguing planting of another New Zealand-raised hybrid, an interesting dogwood. Cornus 'Greenvale', hybrid between the Himalayan strawberry tree, Cornus capitata, and C. kousa chinensis, which forms a small tree with greenish cream flowers, similar to C. capitata but tidier growing.
These are planted as a very formal grid on a gravel covered bed and would look very smart if whoever is driving the small vehicle over it could be persuaded to change their route.
