|Re: how to increase compaction rate?
|Tue, 13 Mar 2012 23:13:14 GMT
After loosing one node we had to repair, CFs was on leveled compaction. For one CF each node had about 7GB of data. Running a repair without primary range switch ended up some nodes exhausted to about 60-100GB of 5MB sstables for that CF (a lot of files). After switching back from leveled to tiered we ended up completely blocked compactions on all nodes since this CF were compacting forever. On one node a major compaction for that CF is CPU bound and may run with unlimited compaction speed for 4-7 days at maximum 1MB/s rate, finally compacting to 3GB of data (some data is deleted by TTL, some merged). What we did to speedup this process to return all exhausted nodes into normal state faster: We have created a 6 temporary virtual single Cassandra nodes with 2 CPU cores and 8GB RAM. Stopped completely a compaction for CF on a production node. Leveled sstables from this production node was divided into 6 ranges and copied into 6 temporary empty nodes. On each node we ran a major compaction to compact just 1/6 of data, about 10-14GB. It took 1-2 hours to compact them into 1GB of data. Then all 6 sstables was copied into one of 6 nodes for a major compaction, finally getting expected 3GB sstable. Stopping production node, deleting files that was copied, returning compacted (may need renaming) and node is back to normal. Using separate nodes we saved original production nodes time not to compact exhausted CF forever, blocking compactions for other CFs. With 6 separate nodes we have compacted 2 productions nodes a day, so maybe it took the same time, but production nodes were free for regular compactions for other CFs. After back to normal for our use case we stick to tiered compaction with a major compaction nightly. With our insertion/TTL deletion rates a leveled compaction is a nightmare, even if amount of data is not very huge, just a few GBs/node. 2012/3/13 Thorsten von Eicken <email@example.com> > On 3/12/2012 6:52 AM, Brandon Williams wrote: > > On Mon, Mar 12, 2012 at 4:44 AM, aaron morton <firstname.lastname@example.com> > wrote: > >> I don't understand why I > >> don't get multiple concurrent compactions running, that's what would > >> make the biggest performance difference. > >> > >> concurrent_compactors > >> Controls how many concurrent compactions to run, by default it's the > number > >> of cores on the machine. > I'm on a quad-core machine so not setting concurrent_compactors should > not be a limiting factor... > > With leveled compaction, I don't think you get any concurrency because > > it has to compact an entire level, and it can't proceed to the next > > level without completing the one before it. > > > > In short, if you want maximum throughput, stick with size tiered. > I switched the CFs to tiered compaction and I still get no concurrency > for the same CF.

Columbus Day Letter
October 18th, 2013
It's a good thing we have the children to tell it like it is.
(submitted by April)
It's a good thing we have the children to tell it like it is.
(submitted by April)
If you don't like, don't read it or look at it and move on. No one is forcing you!
face it…. at one time or another we are all can be savage beasts when we want something…. its just how far you will go to get it… that makes you who and what you are. my new motto …don't be a Columbus 🙂
you know, indians were pretty brutal too.
nobody ever tells that story.
sure we encroached on their territory but they were generally a very violent, murderous bunch already. if you want to get down to it, there are very few people we should be celebrating. but i'm with the kid. Mr. C doesn't warrant his own holiday.
That's BS. Some of the tribes were warrior tribes and fought other warrior tribes, this is true. But the majority of American Indians were peaceful nations. Where did you get this "information" anyway? The General Custer school of history? Wow.
dont worry Debra. ole tootsiebunz has bought into the "how great the US is" bs story that we are fed. remember, history is written by the "winners". the atrocities levied against the native americans parallels what nazi germany did to the jewish community. the way they (natives) lived, thought, worked, enjoyed life would have been so much more useful to the advancement of this country than the all out greed brought to the US by elitists. what a shame.
That was pretty hilarious.
Ooooh….bet this gets more responses than the Kirk Cameron pic.
I think it's really funny that people are getting so nasty ("You're picking on a little girl!" "You're an idiot if you don't want to read about it here!") just because people are pointing out that this is NOT a site for debating controversies, politics, religion, etc. (But hey, the Powers That Be posted it. So be it.)
No I don't hate the little girl, no I don't buy "Happy Columbus Day" cards, and yes I read.
You Columbus haters sure are a rude bunch!
Hey, RL, I read, too, lol! Bravo.
Well said! And I read voraciously!
I must admit that this site is usually simply a forum for gentle kind fun and it makes me sad to see all this anger from so many but I also have to say that I find it amazing that we are willing to relegate FACTUAL TRUTHS about Christopher Columbus, Global Warming, hate crimes, the effects of smoking etc. etc. etc. to "POLITICAL OPINIONS". Since when did factual truths become political opinions? … America, land of denial.
I think it is awkward in that the letter-writer points out the absurdity of granting a holiday to someone who practiced genocide. Very awkward. Also, I love her writing style:
"Who does that? Columbus did." That's funny.
Okay, so I give it points for awkward and funny. It's not a photo, but neither was the infamous "Thanksgiving letter" from Marnie (??), and I think we can all agree on the awkwardness/humor contained therein.
So leave Olivia alone, you mean grown-ups. And stop celebrating Columbus anything.
Please refrain from telling others what they should and should not celebrate. Thank you.
Please refrain from telling others what they should say and when. Everyone has an opinion and her's is that your holiday is ridiculous.
Dear Olivia, You made me a proud grandpa when I read your letter to our President.
You make your grsndpa very proud
Id this really your granddaughter? Thank her for me and my tribe, Chiricahua (apache) *ndé
It's fitting that most of the complaints can be roughly translated as "Ugh! Is there nowhere left for me to escape that pesky reality, with all its facts?", since the only place where telling historical truths can be considered "political", while suppressing them is not, is somewhere outside of reality. And they are historical truths, and they didn't end 600 years ago. Read Mark Twain's King Leopold's Soliloquy for a more recent example, or learn more about our current world, for that matter.
If you want to escape uncomfortable truths, then go sit in a peaceful meadow and entertain yourselves; nobody owes it to you to shield you from reality because you think it's "political".
Bravo! Thank you, William, for being so intelligent and reasonable.
…….but it's NOT an awkward family photo. I was not aware that this website was a forum to "tell historical truths."
There has been plenty of posts that weren't awkward family photos and you had no problems with those.
You can't tell them how to run their website, if you don't want to hear "historical truths", as you ever so obnoxiously put in quotation marks, then go on a revisionist website and proceed to deny anything logical and truthful.
I come to Awkward Family Photos for (shock shock) awkward family photos. Not political hate mongering. Give me a break at least on this ONE site AFP! Get back to the innocent and fun family photos and leave the hatred and bickering to other lesser sites.
She's a little girl, it was her picture and she posted it. Grow up and get over it! This was written by an innocent child asking a reasonable question in a family friendly?? public forum. Knowing this loving caring child as I do I can assure you that hate mongering doesn't apply here.
Sandi, I can't speak for Lavander but I'll venture a guess she was referring to nasty comments, such as yours. I'm sure the little darling is wonderful, but the issue for most folks is they don't want to have to deal with the rude comments that certain topics can bring about as evidenced below and above. Those topics are usually avoided here. So I think for most people, the issue is with "the powers that be" that chose to post it. (I have no opinion on this topic, it's not my site and not my fight.)
Was that a typo? I see nothing nasty about Sandi's comment, unless telling someone who calls a child's truthful letter "political hate mongering" to grow up and get over it is nasty.
You may think my initial comment is nasty, but it was also mostly in reponse to Lavander's post, which struck me as particularly nasty itself. I think some of what you consider the rudeness of some replies is a response to the presumptuous nature of telling someone what belongs on their own website.
Overall though, I think everyone is being pretty level-headed on what is apparently a divisive topic.
And just to clarify, I understand that Lavander may have been calling the comments hate mongering and not necessarily the letter itself. It's a little unclear (I originally did think it was about the letter, as I didn't see any real nastiness in the comments), but if it's about the comments it's not nasty, just greatly exaggerated imo.
What's the point of this? This website has been a daily favorite of mine for quite some time. People don't come here for political opinions. Please don't ruin it.
It's THEIR website. If you don't like it, get your own which will be free from "political opinions".
Just stick with the awkward family photos, please.
Don't tell people how to run their website.
I love Christopher Columbus <3<3<3
I don't know whether or not Columbus was guilty of what Olivia says more than 600 years ago, but I do wonder how anyone can quote "facts" without having anything to back it up.
Also, to find out the real story about Native Americans and their disappearance in "Empire of the Summer Moon, a deeply researched account that shows that there were no clean hands…white, black, or red.
"A people's history of the United States" by Howard Zinn is a great read. It's a very informative, well-researched historical account. The 1st chapter is actually about Columbus and includes notes from his personal logbook while he was sailing.
I found the letter adorable and it strikes me quite credibly as being from a thoughtful, conscientious, 10 year old girl. She is wise beyond her years. The adults posting here however should be held to a higher standard when applying 21st century, western morals to historical figures and practices. As S.C. Gwynne astutely points out in "Empire," the now realized atrocities that were committed by Native Americans and white settlers alike should not be judged through the lens of an evolved civilization.
Many find it easy to believe that the world is becoming increasingly violent and less moral. While there are certainly many areas where we seem to be digressing, overall, society is a much more sensitive and less brutal place than it once was. In general, the further back you go in history, the more despicable things were. Slavery, public torture, crucifixions, are just a few examples. Hideous practices such as these are now relegated to the likes of deranged psychopaths, extreme fundamentalist sects, and a select few governments who continue to ignore the sanctity of human life and equal rights of all individuals.
Throughout time, people have battled over land and power. The forces with greater might or superior technology consistently used the full extent of their resources to defeat their rivals. The assault on Native Americans by white settlers and ultimately the US Government was not materially different from how native tribes treated each other, they simply had better technology and were unified. Had Europeans never come to the western hemisphere, the Apache who commented here would likely be posting in Comanche. In the US, people celebrate the Fourth of July while Jefferson Davis day is certainly not a holiday. Even though rebellious revolutions were enacted. The victor prevails. The way of the world. Always has been.
The good news is that we ARE evolving. We learn from mistakes. We come to detest injustice of all forms. We hopefully strive to limit and hope to eradicate all brutality. We learn to love more and hate less. Hopefully become more compassionate as a people. But none of us are likely to see utopia in our lifetimes. But we are not able to accurately judge historical figures such as Christopher Columbus, or even to torture and disfigurement of a young white girl from our vantage point, with no comprehension for the circumstances, culture and morals of a distant time.
So to Olivia's precious question, "Who does that?" Hopefully nobody anymore Olivia – or if they do, hopefully they are apprehended or conquered and punished. And by the way, I'm not so sure we should have holidays for any individual. 🙂
You may want to have a look at the Wikipedia entry for "Christopher Columbus" and scroll down to the second half of "Accusations of tyranny and genocide during governorship." It's quite a read. Highlights include "under Columbus and subsequent governors, enslaved Hispaniola natives were forced to toil under brutal conditions in mining and farming camps. According to Las Casas, up to a third of the male slaves died during each six- to eight-month mining operation" and "As for the newly born, they died early because their mothers, overworked and famished, had no milk to nurse them, and for this reason, while I was in Cuba, 7000 children died in three months."
Comparing this guy to Martin Luther King is absurd. There is nothing wrong with this kid's letter, provided that it came from a real kid.
This message "did" come from a real kid. I know her well. She is very bright and I am so proud of her ability to articulate her personal feelings regarding material she has read about CC It was not a surprise to me as I have heard her express her questions and intellectual views many times and often to the amazement of adults. Olivia is a very sweet and conscientious child who can also be found working to save a creature or our world. We need more children like Olivia in this world!
It sounds as if we do.
1. not awkward
2. not a family
3. not a photo
AFP says: "We want to keep this site a friendly place to be awkward." Well, inviting political wrangling in the comments by posting something like this is not going to achieve that goal.
Blah blah blah. Because it's probably the only way to get your attention since you're not likely to find yourself in a place to get it anywhere else, such a history book.
Why is this on on awkwardfamilyphotos dot com? It is neither awkward, of a family, or a photograph.
That's not awkward. She's right; he was a monster. Making a holiday to celebrate somebody who enslaved people and started a cataclysmic genocide is celebrating the colonization and oppression of the enslaved and dispossessed. It's an insult, and makes the entire society that celebrates it look like an assembly of the arrogant, heavy-handed morons that Americans get stereotyped as in movies.
Velma. Come on, you're better than that. I don't care to read anything about CC–good or bad–when I came to the site to LAUGH. You don't hear enough political BS on the web? You want to bring it here?
It's THEIR website, and they can do what they want with it,
It's not "political BS", it's cold hard truth you are in denial of.
This reeks of being a set-up. The writing is way too polished to have come from a child.
It's not. She's mine. She's ten. It was a school project. Scouts honor : )
I wouldn't say so. I probably could have written something like this when I was nine.
This isn't an awkward family photo, it is a letter. Whether or not you agree or disagree with Columbus Day being celebrated, this isn't amusing or humorous so why is it on here? Does this make it okay to submit another letter about how maybe we shouldn't celebrate Martin Luther King Day because he had a criminal past and wasn't as squeaky clean as the history books describe him? He's not any different from Columbus so let's not denounce one holiday without judging them all. George Washington kept slaves, and we celebrate him and put him on our money. It's good this child is thinking and trying to make a difference, but she hasn't been told all the facts.
I come to this site to get AWAY from all the political and social posturing and nitpicking and finger-pointing. PLEASE don't go down that road, AFP!
If you're comparing a Nobel Peace Prize winner to an opportunist who enslaved and destroyed entire populations for his own personal gain, then you're the one who doesn't have enough information, and it's probably by choice. This question is more about historical accuracy than politics.
OGM. Velma. Please! HUSH! Go political rant somewhere else.
Wow. Listen to you. All you came here to say is to tell somebody what they can't say? She's absolutely right on the historical facts. If you can't face reality that's your problem. Maybe some people feel compelled to speak out because they get tired of having to face all the ignorance and stupidity in silence . Did you ever think of that?
What schools still celebrate Columbus Day? I have been a teacher for 20 + years and have never had that "holiday" off. Actually, the only schools around our area that do take the day off are the BIA schools on the Indian Reservations.
We always have it off. It is in lieu of Veterans Day here. Saves us from the issue of Veterans Day falling immediately after election day, which is a student holiday.
Any word on how old Olivia is (or was at the time)?
She's ten.
Way to go Poppet!!
My thoughts exactly…

But being anointed by the party's most successful leader could be either a blessing or a curse for Mr Umunna, the shadow Business Secretary, given how far Mr Blair's popularity in the wider Labour movement has fallen.
The MP for Streatham has repeatedly refused to set out his leadership ambitions and is actively loyal to Mr Miliband. But he speaks regularly to Mr Blair and other New Labour veterans, including Lord Mandelson, Tessa Jowell and Lord Adonis. The former PM sees Mr Umunna as a "natural heir" to his New Labour legacy, said a friend. Since being elevated to the Shadow Cabinet, Mr Umunna has stuck to his business brief, but in recent weeks has been more outspoken on immigration in the face of the Ukip surge. His strident defence of the benefits of immigration to the UK has drawn further admiration from Mr Blair who is in total agreement, said a source.
Writing in The New York Times last week, Mr Blair took a thinly veiled swipe at Mr Miliband, saying that politicians needed to have jobs in the "real world" before Parliament. Mr Miliband's former job was as a special adviser to Gordon Brown, while Mr Umunna was in law before being elected in 2010.
The shadow Business Secretary is frequently labelled the "British Obama" – most recently by Le Monde in a glowing profile earlier this year. But when asked in an interview for The Independent on Sunday in September whether he wanted to be leader of the party, Mr Umunna said he just wanted to serve in Mr Miliband's cabinet.
A friend of Mr Umunna said last night: "Chuka was one of the first MPs to back Ed Miliband's leadership campaign in 2010 and is fully focused on Labour winning next year and putting Ed into No 10. His feet are firmly on the ground and he doesn't get distracted by stories like this. He has met Tony Blair before, but so have many LabourMPs."

The changes to Labour leadership rules has weakened the power of the union vote, making it easier for a Blairite candidate to seize the crown.Reuse content

World Land Trust
|John Burton
|Charitable trust
|Registration no.
Area served
|£3.2 million (2014)[1]
|Saving threatened habitats worldwide
World Land Trust (WLT) (formerly the World Wide Land Conservation Trust) is a UK-based non-profit environmental organization established in 1989. Its primary aims are to ensure conservation of plants, animals and natural communities in areas at risk.[2] For this purpose, it privately funds the purchase of large tracts of land by local NGOs for the purposes of protecting it.
WLT also seeks to help in-situ conservation measures by providing training, capital and equipment for environmental stewardship in economically backward areas. World Land Trust also provides a service to offset the carbon emissions of individuals and businesses and runs a widespread tree planting operation. It is affiliated to the World Conservation Union. The noted environmentalist John Burton is the CEO of the Trust.
World Land Trust came into being in 1989 when the Programme for Belize was launched to raise money to privately buy land in Belize to protect tropical rain forests. The core of the trust was a $10,000 start up donation from the Massachusetts Audubon Society to John Burton, for the purposes of setting up an office in the United Kingdom for the trust. Initial appeals were made in the BBC Wildlife magazine and were followed up with support from noted naturalists Gerald Durrell and his wife Lee Durrell. Between that time and now, the Trust has developed to help purchase and conserve land in over 20 countries worldwide [3] and now has an annual income of over £3.2 million to fund land purchase and conservation in 2014.[4]
The Trust has maintained its links with the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust; Lee Durrell remains a key supporter.[5] The Trust's patrons are Sir David Attenborough, Chris Packham, and David Gower.[6] Other high-profile supporters of the Trust are Bill Oddie, Tony Hawks, Mark Carwardine, Steve Backshall and Nick Baker.[7][8]
A partner organization, World Land Trust - US [formerly World Parks Endowment] was also created in 1989. In 2013 World Land Trust-US officially became Rainforest Trust, following a decision by its board that a different name would better reflect its aims and objectives.

Dear Friends,
Happy New Year! It's an exciting time of year for our Walking the Path students—especially those at August Martin High School! Prior to the holidays, a group of 8 students spent weeks writing and producing their own video memoir. They first worked with the school's English Language Art's teacher to write a personal story. Afterwards, they learn how to use a video camera and edit footage on Final Cut Pro. Fully armed with the skills needed, each student shot their own video footage, recorded the voiceover of their personal story and edited it all together in a 2-3 minute video. Each student will receive a copy of their memoir. Even better, later this month we'll roll out the red carpet and host a Hollywood style Premiere of all 8 videos for friends and family.
Also in progress is Walking the Path's photography program at John Jay High School. Students are introduced to the ins and outs of photography learning about lighting, framing and of course, proper camera operation. Afterwards they take a "Walk Around the Block" to take pictures of family, friends and their neighborhood, using the skills they learned. To add a writing element, students are encouraged to write poems to correspond with their photographs and the pieces are displayed at the school like an art gallery.
Walking the Path is a fantastic program for students to explore creative methods of expressing their feelings. It is very difficult to imagine the hardships some of our students face every day. Sometimes students are not willing to speak about their troubles, but through creative expression, we are able to gain a better sense of how our students struggle and provide them with tools to combat these challenges. At the same time, students are exposed to new creative methods, develop pride and confidence by sharing their work with others and earn school credit too!—keeping them on track for graduation.
Thank you again for your support and helping at-risk students succeed. We look forward to updating you as the year progresses. Stay tuned for more updates and photos of the August Martin Premiere!
Dear Friends,
With another school year under our belt, we have some great successes to share with you from last year!
Our students at John Jay High School spent the year learning how to express themselves through poetry and photography. Through a series of workshops, they have learned to tell their own life stories and convert this into digital art. Students were given cameras to take photos around their neighborhood and journals to record their thoughts and poetry. The poetry and photos were collected and assembled into a book—we're excited to produce Volume 2 of our Walking the Path stories! The books were published to give our students and their families a record of their achievement in Walking the Path.
Additionally, at WEB Dubois, students worked with their English teacher to write their own memoirs. These children live in such extreme poverty and are forced to unimaginable challenges each and every day. It's a very powerful thing, to be able to understand exactly what these children are going through, but more importantly, to have them tell their own stories by painting such a clear picture of the lives they lead. Some of these stories were even converted into digital storytelling pieces!
With the new school year finally here, we're so excited to meet a new group of students. We look forward to helping them discover their talents, as they learn of new ways to express themselves in nonviolent, productive ways.
Thank you again for your support and helping at-risk students succeed. We look forward to updating you as the fall projects evolve. Stay tuned!
Walking the Path - May 2011 Update
At the WEB Dubois school, we implemented the full version of Walking the Path from March 28 to April 8, 2011. This project focuses on the creation of a memoir, in which the student writes a personal story, takes photos and then creates a video with spoken word and still images. We collaborated with the English Language Arts teacher Mr. Khairy, who assisted the 18 student applicants with the initial writing portion. Out of those, 6 were selected to continue with the final phase of the project. Five of them created and edited digital stories and one composed an audio story. Two of the students then composed background music to be used for video in the PwC-run music production group. When the video was completed, we held a banquet-style premier on May 12, 2011 with families and friends who came to show support for the student participants.
At John Jay School, we held a shorter version of Walking the Path, with four 2-day photography workshops. At these workshops, students took pictures of the school's surrounding community. The participants then edited the photos and wrote short descriptive passages to accompany them. Altogether, 20 students participated in this version of Walking the Path. These narratives will be included in a book of writings and photos that Joan Morse, founder of Walking the Path, is creating for the school.
Dear Friends,
Walking the Path has been busy this month working with two new groups of high school students at Alternative Learning Centers in Brooklyn, New York (sites that students are sent to for the duration of their out-of-school suspensions). We're excited to re-engage these at-risk students in learning at such a critical time in their education, when they may feel hopeless or disillusioned with school. The autobiographical videos the students produce give them a unique chance to reflect on the experiences that led to their suspensions, as well as to set out their personal goals in life.
We'll have photos and writings to post soon!
Thank you for supporting our project and helping keep at-risk New York City students in school.
Happy Holidays.

Despite leading by 12 points with less than six minutes remaining, the Monarchs were in trouble in the closing stages as the Dragons, inspired by their quarterback, Jay Walker, pressed forward. Walker threw a 12-yard touch down to the receiver Tyree Davis, and also mounted a last-minute drive which almost gave his side an unlikely victory.
On the very last play of the game, Walker found the receiver, Mario Henry, for what looked a certain touchdown until the London safety Kevin Porter deflected the ball with his fingertips to preserve the win.
Defeat virtually ends Barcelona's season. In contrast, the Monarchs now stand a genuine chance of finishing with a flourish. Victory over the Rhein Fire at White Hart Lane next Monday would leave them with an excellent chance of qualifying for next month's World Bowl against the Amsterdam Admirals.
The most pleasing aspect of London's triumph was the elimination of mistakes. Their quarterback, Brad Johnson, enjoyed his most efficient game of the campaign, and there were none of the costly fumbles that have characterised previous contests. There were two big plays, both executed by the Monarchs in the first quarter. After Barcelona had taken the lead with a field goal, Eric Stephens returned the ensuing kick-off 90 yards for a touchdown, giving the visitors a lead they would not lose.
Johnson then fired a 58-yard touchdown pass to the receiver Alan Allen to put London in control and despite Lindsay Chapman's 12-yard scoring run for Barcelona, victory looked assured when Johnson threw his second touchdown of the night to the tight end, Mike Titley, early in the fourth quarter. The Dragons' late surge almost paid off, but the Monarchs deserved to hang on.

Using your criteria, it will depend on her performance. I hear that she will start with an ARCA ride next Feb at Daytona and then the powers that be will determine if she is qualified to run a Nation Wide car at the same track. To be honest, I just do not think she has done all that well on a consistant basis, when you take into consideration the quality of equipment she has had. Time will tell and I hope she does well, I just am not sold on it.<quoted text>
That must be why I miss the point. I don't really put her on track and off track things in the same mix. If she's a successful driver and a sexy model - those to me are 2 separate things. I dont care how much off-track stuff she does or how well she does it. It all boils down to a hottie in a car driving her ass off and to me thats all that counts. It's THAT story I'm interested in and nothing else.
Actually, her looks only make her more appealing to see in interviews, so bottom line is 'semi successful female open wheel driver coming to turn laps in NASCAR.' It should be more entertaining than Shawna Robinson, don't ya think?

Look her in the eyes and tell me that the first time a good old boy taps her on the ass and sends her into the wall faces first that she won't run backs to go-karts.

Ron Jeremy aka Tony Stewart didnt.

Those "go-karts" will make your Car of Tomorrow look like a Rambler.

#68 Nov 11, 2009
Without comparing them to anything, the COT DOES look like a Rambler. Because a driver is very proficient in one type of car does not mean they will automaticly be proficient in all other types of race cars. Does anyone doubt that Steve Kinser is the King of Sprint Car racing but do any of you remember his disasterous attempt at driving in NASCAR?
"In 1995 Steve landed a NASCAR Winston Cup Series ride as Drag racing legend Kenny Bernstein hired Kinser to drive his #26 Quaker State Ford, but released him after only five starts after a best finish of 27th and average finish of 35th. The idea of bringing Kinser to NASCAR was due to Jeff Gordon's success in sprint cars and midgets and bringing in one of the series best drivers would translate the same success." Courtesy of Wikipedia. Danica has every right to race in whatever form she desires but has the responsibility to understand her status in open wheel will mean absolutely nothing to other drivers in the Nationwide series. The whole world knows without even having to ask, that she's going to get a ton of cash to do this, far more than she could ever win in Nationwide racing. This fact alone, is going to cause some silent resentment and it will show up on the track very quickly.

Excellent point.
My statement was a camparason of cars, not drivers.
One thing that really makes me laugh is the statement that NASCAR drviers are the best in the world. I can see from your comment that you understand how foolish that statement really is. Just because a driver is tops in his game in one type of equipment does not mean he will tops in a different type of equipment.
#70 Nov 11, 2009
Those "Go-Karts" are a far superior race car on any track then the POS COT. Put them on the same track and it would be embarrassing for NASCAR.

One of those 'go-karts" would lap the COT in about 12 laps. If my math is right (have to leave my shoes on...at work now) in a 500 mile race, the Indy car would put the COt down 16 laps. Unless it's The Junior driving the COT, then the COT would exit early with a blown motor.
#72 Nov 11, 2009
Not if NASCAR was controlling the race. Every time a POS COT was about to be lapped, a fake caution would come out. Between the fake cautions, the dopey lucky dog rule, the Indy Car getting bogus pit lane penalties; in the end NASCAR would make sure the COT would win the race.

My question is short and sweet: Can Twitter help get me laid?
~Cheep Thrills
Strangely, while tweets of a sexual nature come up fairly regularly on Twitter, there aren't a ton of explicit references to sex on the popular microblogging site, whose fifth birthday is coming up next week. Happy birthday, you dirty bird! A recent search for the word "sex" on Twitter yielded things from AIDS stats to the "Birthday Sex" song to single-sex parents, as well as your more garden variety punctuation-less missives about "dick-tits." In unrelated news, I'm so glad the Library of Congress is recording these cultural nuggets for future generations to ponder and/or die of contact-shame. Since people have no problem discussing their bowel movements and other TMI news, it seemed strange that people wouldn't be talking about making tweet love a lot more often. So I did a little digging to see if I could find anything worthwhile.
There are, naturally, quite a few erotica sites, like Twitillate and the Eroticist, as well as, I'm sure you know, lots and lots of spammy porn, webcam girls, and Russian brides in case you "requisite a crumpet to accompany." An adult social networking site based in Amsterdam that was formerly called Twatr, now Twexxx, sounded promising, and it claimed to be an "Adult Twitter Site that allows you to post adult related topics and images." But it was under construction, so I couldn't get any further than that. Tweases.
There's another site called Twitter Sex (NSFW), which purports to combine microblogging, location check-ins, and cock shots. I'm not entirely sure how this is different from plain ol' Twitter, nor am I sure why a feed of laser bunion removal posts assaulted me upon entering the site. Seriously. There were even pictures!
Out of curiosity I clicked on one of their "popular" users, SluttySlave87, only to be greeted by an extreme labial close up, and the following "shout" from her, which is that site's term for a tweet: "i'm so horny...need to get f*ck by cocks." Thankfully, I happen to be bi-penile, so this is going to work out really well for both of us, methinks.
If you want to go the more mainstream route to sex, a few Twitter dating sites exist, such as Plenty of Tweeps, DateTwit, and Love@FirstTweet. But such sites typically have the shelf life of your standard Twitter feed if anything can be gleaned from previous dating sites like TwitCrush, Flirt140, MyTweetHeart, and Radaroo, which have disappeared just as quickly as they started.
I'm also not exactly sure what the incentive is for joining one of these Twitter dating sites, unless you are on Twitter so often that your brain can no longer function long enough to write the few paragraphs required in online dating profiles. Of course, the pool is usually wider on Twitter than it is on other social media sites, but it's also much harder to vet a stranger that way. Also, you get one tiny avatar picture to deduce what a potential hook-up might look like, as opposed to the hundreds of wank-able pictures you get on Facebook. However, I will say this: Facilitating sex on Twitter is possible. I was successful exactly one time. Read my previous post on Twitter flirting to learn more tips on seduction in 140 characters or less. And take heart! If people are hooking up via World of Warcraft, then by God, you too can tweet your way to sexual congress!

Skip to comments.A Mortgage Broker on Rapid Credit Rescores for Subprime Loans
Posted on 12/07/2011 1:41:21 PM PST by sheikdetailfeather
RUSH: Laurie, who can't say where she is. Is that right? She's worried about lawsuits, so she can't say where she is. Laurie, welcome to the EIB Network. You're worried about the lawsuits from what you're going to say here?
CALLER: Well, it's possible, Rush, and, by the way, it's an honor to speak to you.
RUSH: Thank you.
CALLER: I worked as both a packager and an advertising executive for a mortgage brokerage firm. I saw the rise and fall of the housing market and what infuriates me about when Obama speaks or Barney Frank or anyone else who talks about these mortgage-backed securities and everything that happened is that nobody knows the real truth about what goes on in the mortgage business and why it failed. It's not just people going to the bank, getting a loan, paying the bank back. You know, in the late nineties and early 2000s when real estate prices were sharply on the rise, you know, anywhere between '99 and '03 depending upon what part of the country you lived in, housing prices were on the rise dramatically, and there was a lot of pressure at Fannie and Freddie to get mortgages out the door.
(Excerpt) Read more at rushlimbaugh.com ...
She detailed the basic corruption and greed that sent the whole housing market and ultimately the economy down the twalet.
They just screwed the country into the ground. The TEA Party people had better keep the pressure on for hearings and trials. This is a crime, and people need to go sit with criminals
This woman should write a book, make videos, do whatever is necessary to get this info out.
This is definitely a blockbuster call! Rush will get a lot more info out of her very soon.
Rescoring explains a lot.
The programs at Fannie and Freddie and other agencies were put into place by Democrats during the Clinton Administration. The heads of these agencies were Democrats and friends of Clinton and Obama. The programs were kept secret. Nobody advertised that they were fraudulent.
When the Bush Administration attempted to shut this down Barney Frank and Maxine Waters and other Democrats attacked them over and over and prevented any reforms from being put into place. Only after Fannie Mae went bankrupt in early 2008 did any of the problems begin to be exposed.
The Bush Administration should have done more. But the active participants and the people who covered it up were Democrats(especially Barney Frank and the black caucus) and the MSM.
This is outrageous and all the people who didn't default on their loans or buy houses they couldn't afford saw the value of their homes cut in half and to top it all off they are paying for the bailouts of Fannie and Freddie and so will their children. Any investigative reporter could have found all this information but they won't because then the democrats can't use it as a club against Capitalism and the Republicans. And What kind of name is Fannie Mae anyway. Sounds like a door to door cosmetics sales company or a line of cooking utensils.
Not surprising at all. Just indicative of American culture in the 21st century. Its all spin and bending the rules to create the illusion of achieving your goals. The important thing is that you make your $$, get promoted, and get out while the getting is good. Who cares if it all comes crashing down tomorrow and to H@ll with anyone who gets hurt in the process. One big Potemkin village.
Wasn't our current Attorney General some sort of big cheese at either Fannie or Freddie during this time?
OPPPSSS sorry thinking of the wrong guy....
Rush should have emphasized how the Bush Admin / Congress tried 17 times to real in Fannie and Freddie and the video is out their on "You Tube" of Maxine and Barney saying we have no problem.
One glaring hypocrisy that went unnoticed by many ( I thought of it eons ago ) mentioned today was the fact that the mortgages at the retail level were incentivized by sales commissions. Pure Capitalism yes, the hypocrisy is that is now verboten with our dear leader, you can't make money like that! But it was ok, when Dodd, Frank, Reins, Gorelick were all at the trough! But worse is, commissioned sales is ok with a fungible item, car, clothes etc, maybe even "stock" but we are talking a large maybe once in a life time purchase and once again like the 20's with 5% margin on stocks, they imparted a moral hazard, on the system even more so with changing someones credit score!
What is worse, Dodd / Frank did nothing to address the moral hazard of Fannie and Freddie and the CRDA...
Their used to be a real-estate talk show here in Michigan with Quicken Loan and they used to talk up these no doc, low doc, no interest loans etc. Well that show went away...... I can't get into the particulars, but I spent sometime in an arena where good advice and stewardship was paramount. These exotic mortgages never were mentioned....
I long for the days again when the local bank holds the paper and Fannie and Freddie have a steak drilled through their hearts...
"They" are "we".
We the electorate created this monster and allowed it to grow into what it has become.
FNMA and FHLMC started out as instruments to create liquidity for banks trying to hedge short-term liabilities, interest rate and credit risk against long-term assets.
There were once underwriting standards. Then, that disappeared due to political pressures. Soon (60+ years later), the disaster happened.
Don't blame "them". Blame "us".
I only spent 35 years in the business watching it evolve from a reasonable financial tool into an out-of-control social program.
I am partially to blame. You are, as well. Everybody who either voted or failed to vote over the past 40+ years created this.
"nd What kind of name is Fannie Mae anyway. Sounds like a door to door cosmetics sales company or a line of cooking utensils."
FNMA. Federal National Mortgage Association
It's an interesting call, but not entirely accurate. Unfortunately this sort of anecdotal material seems to be what Rush uses as 'research'.
Laurie appears to believe that securitizing mortgages was something that Fannie & Freddie came up with between 1999 and 2003. In fact they had been securitizing mortgages since 1971 in the case of Freddie and 1980 in the case of Fannie.
And more significantly Laurie seems to be conflating the business model of investment banks during the bubble with that of Fannie & Freddie. Investment banks were extending warehouse lines of credit to mortgage brokers (she refers to them as wholesale lines of credit), and when that credit line was filled the IBs would take the mortgages and refill the credit line.
That part she has right. But she thinks that Fannie & Freddie then bought those loans and packaged them and sold them to the likes of Lehman Brothers. In fact F&F weren't part of this loop at all.
The investment banks (which included Lehman Brothers) that extended the warehouses line of credit packaged and sold off the loans themselves, they had no need for Fannie & Freddie and in fact were rivals to F&F. During the bubble the private market mortgage securitizers cut deeply into Fannie and Freddie's business, taking market share away from them.
So while Laurie does provide some insight into the world of mortgage brokers you have to be careful about taking her version at face value. I don't think that she is trying to mislead anyone, I suspect that she is just a bit unclear about some aspects of the business that she didn't handle herself.
BS, I had nothing to do with this. Didn't know it was going on, and If you were in the business and saw it go down then YOU are to blame, don't try passing it around.
Everybody with those characteristics is to blame.
I was already in the business when the Community Reinvestment Act was proposed, became law and was implemented.
Nobody in the industry at the time liked it, because we all knew where it would lead.
Sure enough........here we are.
If you want to match wits with me on this issue, please feel free.
So your a mortgage broker, knew the deal, for who knows how many years, but every body was doing it, and made tons of cash, and now you have a conscience. But your trying to find away around it.
Sounds like a pornographer who shot a 16 yr old and feels bad.
You, and your peeps were, and still are the problem, You and your people happily pocketed loads of cash, blame others for your... because others involved in their careers were not standing over you making sure you were trying to do the right thing.
Your thinking is working
I was a mortgage banker, not a mortgage broker. There is a difference. I nearly always declined deals brought in by mortgage brokers.

Very basic studio with sofa bed. Fittings outdated and slightly broken. Would spend a little more next time for something a lot better.
We stayed for 6 days at the apartment. Good spot with nearby metro for different places. Host was on time and welcoming. The air conditioning was undersize for the hot weather and the master bedroom bed needs an upgrade. Apart from that, our stay was nice and the neighbourhood is nice and calm.
Very nice house, great location, excellent weather. Very good places to eat nearby. Christian told us that bedding was included but it was not. Booking through Wimdu was very confusing. Charges for water and electricity and Kur tax at the end of the holiday were very high.
So......an enjoyable holiday but expenses were unexpectedly high and booking was difficult.
We were there in may, and we liked it there. Not too crowded. The house and garden were nice. Inside a spartan furniture, but functional
We had a great time at the Apartment, which was almost direktly at the Moldau. The Hosts were great and there was nothing bad about the Stay. The neighbourhood is quiet but still in walking distance to the center.
We will definetly come back :)
We spent a really good time in this flat, everything is close, beach, shops, bar..
Excellent location, very quiet. Lovely, helpful owner. Only minor criticism is we found the mattress a little too hard.
We had a few great days in this old and charming house with all new faciliteit! the housekeepers were very kind and helpful!
Have just returned from a 4 day break at Senorio de Aloha with friends. The accommodation was lovely with ample space and facilities to house all 5 of us. The views of the mountain and over the valley were worh the booking alone!
It was nice to be away from hustle and bustle but close enough to walk down to join in anytime we wanted. Nearest supernarket was a 5 min walk and well stocked, with restaurants and cafes all in the same plaza. Beach and Bunus centre were a leisurely 15 min walk downhill and a slightly more strenuous 20mins back up again. However a taxi from the marina to apartment only cost between 4-6€s. We were delighted with the service we received from Michael too, who went out of his way to ensure our stay was perfect. All in all we would definitely reccomend and I am actually thinking of returning with my family next year.
