This is a quick run through of the NOSQL exchange that Ciaran & I attended on Nov 2 at SkillsMatter, which featured 8 speakers and links to all talks are included.
A lot of people were asking which NoSQL solution to use?
This was the advice given by the speakers…. There is no silver bullet. Is there a need for reading/writing lots of Big data? Think about the shape of the data and how are you going to query your data to help understand which NOSQL solution fits best. Also understand the trade-offs when you choose your solution. Finally at the talks there was a lot of evidence of people using NOSQL solutions when a SQL solution would have sufficed.
1) THE STATE OF NOSQL TODAY by Emil Eifrem
This was the best talk of the day and anyone interested in NOSQL should watch the talk.
NOSQL stands for Not Only SQL.
Main types of NOSQL:
- Key-value originated from Amazon's paper on Dynamo e.g. Riak, Voldemort (used in Linkedin)
- Column Family e.g. Cassandra, Hbase, Hyper table
- Document databases (most popular) descended from Lotus notes. e.g. CouchDb & MongoDb
- Graph Databases (nodes with properties) originated from Euler and Graph theory. e.g. infinitegraph, Neo4J
Documents are superset of Key-values. Graphs are supersets of documents and thus all others. Does this imply you should use Graph NOSQL solutions for all your NOSQL concerns? The graph NOSQL advocates think so.
- Acidity is increasing e.g. MongoDb adding durable logging storage, Cassandra adding stronger consistency
- More query languages – Cassandra -CQL, CouchDb UnQL, Neo4J – Cyper, Mongo.
- Potentially more schemas?
NoSql challenges:
- Mindshare
- Tool support
- Middleware support
Oracle now adopting NOSQL with a KeyValue solution despite debunking NOSQL in May this year. NOSQL seems to be following similar historical trends to SQL. SQL which had many vendors to begin with, over time resulted in 4 large vendors. Could NOSQL result in a similar situation in the near future?
2) HANDLING CONFLICTS IN EVENTUALLY CONSISTENT SYSTEMS by Russell Brown
Key quote from this talk: "Large systems are always in some degree of failure"
Problem: According to CAP: Consistency, Availability & Partition tolerance – you can't have all 3. Have to compromise by picking 2.
In the case of a partition (P), trade availability (A) for consistency (C)
Else (E) trade latency for consistency (C)
Riak inspired by Dynamo. Built in Erlang/OTP. Has features such as MapReduce, links, full text search. Uses vector clocks not timestamps. Statebox for automation of resolving conflicts.
Uses a wheel for storing clustered data.
3) MONGODB + SCALA: CASE CLASSES, DOCUMENTS AND SHARDS FOR A NEW DATA MODEL by Brendan McAdams (creator of Casbah)
MongoDb is not suited for highly transactional applications or ad-hoc intelligence that requires SQL support. MongoDb resolves around memory mapped files. Mongo has an autosharding system.
Things to remember:
The datastore is a servant to the application not vice-versa
Don't frankenshard
4) REAL LIFE CASSANDRA by Dave Gardner (from Cassandra user group)
- Elastic – Read/Write throughput increases as scale horizontally.
- Decentralised no master node.
- Based on Amazon's Dynamo paper
- Rich data set model
- Tunable
- High write performance
If your requirements are big data, high availability high number of writes then use Cassandra.
When data modelling, start from your queries and work backwards.
Has expiring columns.
Avoid read before write & locking by safely mutating individual columns
Avoid super columns, instead use composite columns
Use Brisk (uses hadoop) for analysing data directly from Cassandra cluster.
5) DOCTOR WHO AND NEO4J by Ian Robinson
Although it was a fairly slick presentation it seemed to focus too much on modelling Doctor Who and his universe as a working example of graphs & Neo4J. Could this be to hide some shortcomings in Neo4J?
- Neo4J is a fully ACID replacement for Mysql/Oracle.
- Neo4j is a NOSQL solution that tries to sell itself as the most enterprise ready solution.
- Has master/slave nodes.
- Has 3 licenses: Community/Advanced/Enterprise.
With mentions of 2 phase commits, other than the advantage of modelling relationships such as social networks, there seemed little benefit from moving away from a relational database.
Having spoken to the Neo4J guys afterwards, it seems that the DB loses its ACIDity once you cluster it, and becomes another eventually-consistent store!
6) BUILDING REAL WORLD SOLUTION WITH DOCUMENT STORAGE, SCALA AND LIFT by Aleksa Vukotic
- Written in Erlang has Lift support (Scala framework)
- Exposes REST/JSON endpoints
- Eventually consistent
- Versioning appends only updates
- Mapreduce for querying using views
A muddled presentation talking about mixing graph NOSQL solution with a document based one.
8) THE FUTURE OF NOSQL AND BIG DATA STORAGE by Tom Wilkie
Rather than using the out of the box storage engines for NOSQL solutions, there can be dramatic throughput gains for using alternative storage engines such as Tokutek and Acunu (Castle).

On Valorizing Gay Marriage: A Response to Wesley Hill
A better approach is for us to caution as brothers and sisters in the Lord: We appreciate your faithfulness to Christ in abstaining from sexual immorality and your service of the church through your writings. Yet we are concerned that elements of an un-renewed, fleshly mentality permeate some of your thinking about "gay coupling."

Can Rolling Stone get us past the UVA rape of faith to the historical UVA rape?
I harp on Rolling Stone's UVA rape myth because the irony of an Easter retraction is just too rich. Journalists used the Christian celebration, one they flippantly discount as myth, as cover for their own lying. But it's just one example.

Islamic Atrocities, the "Narrative of Redemption" and Christmas

[Bumped For Very Obvious Reasons] 8.5 Things I Rejoice In This Post-Election Day
5) This isn't the Episcopal Church. Our country is far juster, far more interested in the rule of law, far more stable, far more popular, far less vicious, and far more conservative. It is completely within our power as conservatives—with God's help—to transform this country's political landscape if we so choose. It will be very hard and very long. The next two years will be appallingly painful. Every week or month, we'll be reminded of the judgement of God—and our challenge will be not to get angry, or despairing, or inactive, but rather to humble ourselves all over again, repent, acknowledge the horrible consequences of our compromises, corruption, passivity, and loss of principle, and continue turning away from the wrong path and seeking the right one.
Restarting the Game: Archbishop Welby Attempts To Hit The Reset Button
It's not a question of "how will the Communion divide"—that division, albeit internal, has already occurred. The further question is not "how can we all live together in the midst of our profound disagreements" but is rather "what is to be done with the Provinces which have engaged in intrinsically communion-dividing actions?"

LOS ANGELES – Charlie Sheen thanked his bosses, co-stars and fans for their support Wednesday, hours after authorities released a 911 call in which a doctor described the actor as "very, very intoxicated" and in pain.
Sheen's thanks come as his off-camera antics, which led to a trip to the hospital last week and a return to rehab, caused a halt of production on television's highest-rated comedy, "Two and a Half Men."
In a four-paragraph statement, Sheen thanked his bosses, CBS chief Les Moonves and Warner Bros.' TV division President Bruce Rosenblum, for "their concern and support."
Sitcom Crew Furious Over Sheen Rehab
He did not offer any new details on his treatment. "I have a lot of work to do to be able to return the support I have received from so many people," Sheen's statement said.
It was issued hours after the Los Angeles Fire Department released a 5-minute recording in which Dr. Paul Nassif said he received a call from Sheen's residence and spoke with a secretary who sounded worried about the 45-year-old actor.
"They said don't call 911, but I got (Sheen) on the phone and he was very, very intoxicated, also apparently in a lot of pain," Nassif said.
Charlie Sheen's 911 Call Released
Sheen was taken to a Los Angeles area hospital last Thursday and was released later that day. Sheen's publicist, Stan Rosenfield, cited the actor's history of hernia problems and later said his client went into rehab, but he did not say why.
Rosenfield declined to comment Wednesday on the actor's condition, citing medical privacy laws.
The statement demonstrated a different tone from the actor, who after his hospitalization sent a text message to an editor of the celebrity website Radaronline.com saying he was fine. "People don't seem to get it…. Guy can't have a great time and do his job also?" the website reported Sheen writing.
Sheen's Woes a Costly Threat to CBS
In Wednesday's statement, Sheen likened himself to another Hollywood actor who attracted notoriety for his off-camera behavior.
"Like Errol Flynn, who had to put down his sword on occasion, I just want to say, 'thank you.'"
Flynn, the 1930's movie idol famous for his swashbuckling roles, also made headlines for his off-screen personal and legal troubles.
In the 911 call, Nassif is heard asking a dispatcher whether anyone from Sheen's camp had called, and when told that no one had, the doctor said: "These people are afraid to call."
During most of the call, Nassif could be heard finding the address to Sheen's home so Nassif could give it to the dispatcher. Nassif was talking to his wife, Adrienne Maloof-Nassif, a co-star of the reality TV series "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," and placed another call to find Sheen's address.
When the dispatcher asked Nassif for further updates, he replied: "All I know is I got a secretary who called and said he's in severe pain and is intoxicated. He said he's very worried but he said don't call anybody."

Blu-ray and HD DVD in one box
I had a conversation with an advertiser of mine who personally built a media center PC with both Blu-ray and HD DVD in the same chasis.
He used the drive from an Xbox 360 and an off the shelf BR drive. He said the video card was $60 - amazingly and that the system unlike earlier versions of his creation used like 19% of the computer's processing - not more than it had. Computer geeks might be onto something here assuming you have the guts to use a PC for your home theater. I say "why not" my BR and HD DVD players as much as a PC and until Steven Jobs has a player for me with the Mac interface - its going to take making frankenstein-like systems above for people on the cutting edge. Tell us about your home theater PC rig and what you are doing with it (the legal parts)

Re: Blu-ray and HD DVD in one box
I'm the guy playing HD-DVD and Blu-Ray on the PC. Here's a little background, I purchased a used Electrohome Marquee 8111 projector in 2000. I got this $25k piece of hardware on Ebay for $2k. Lucky for me it was just down the street in Fullerton and I could see it in operation while the auction was still on. Since the Marquee's look terrible with standard NTSC, I first bought a DVDO I-scan. When I realized how advanced the HTPC world had become, I built a dedicated PC to drive the projector. It received and recorded over the air ATSC and scaled all my DVD's to 720p. In my opinion that's the sweet spot for this projector although some of my brethren with more time, skill and patience than I possess fully resolve 1080p on similar beasts. For the last 2 years I had been using an HP Media Center PC for all of the above and fell in love with the PVR functionality and the My Movies plug in. As HD-DVD and Blu Ray came out, I researched upgrading the HP but decided against it. The 3.0 P-4 processor couldn't keep up with the required HD processing. Several months ago Nvidia and then ATI announced budget video cards that off-loaded the video processing from the CPU and performed that function in hardware on the video card. Nvidia's 8500 and 8600's and ATI's 2400 and 2600 cards quickly became the best choice for High Def DVD on a PC. At the same time, advanced hobbyists discovered that Microsoft's accessory HD-DVD drive (then with a retail of $199) could be added to XP or Vista PC's via USB 2.0 and that Microsoft had drivers for it. The ensuing search for a software player to go with the MS drive finally settled on Power DVD Ultra. Many members of the AVS Forum reported success with the venture. They also discovered that the aforementioned Power DVD Ultra could also play Blu-Ray discs with the proper drive. At this point I could probably have updated my HP to allow both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray play. In theory I would only have needed to replace the DVD burner in the HP with a Blu-Ray capable model, add a low profile ATI card (2400 or 2600), Power HD-DVD Ultra, the external MS HD-DVD drive and some diligence. Instead I decided to rebuild my previous HTPC although all I used from that machine was the Antec component style case. Here's what I put together: 1. Asus P5B Deluxe Mother board (very accomplished), 2. Intel Core-Duo E4300 CPU (the native speed of the E4300 is not enough for native High Def software playback. However, I'm overlclocking it to 2.4 MHz which is fast enough for high def even without the dedicated video card)3. 2 gig DDR2 800 MHz Memory 4. Sapphire 2400 Pro video card (As mentioned this card accelerates High Def playback) 5. The MS XBox 360 drive (now only $170 retail with 5 free movies). 6. Lite-On Blu-Ray burner. 7. Vista Ultimate operating system. For TV integration I also added MS IR keyboard, IR receiver and remote, Hauppage's PVR-150 TV tuner and AverMedia's M780 ATSC tuner card. As I final "fail safe" I also loaded AnyDVD HD to mitigate any potential problems that could occur with regional codes, ITC issues or copy protection. The overall cost for everything was around $1500. The PC went together easily with very few issues. Once it was done I amended my Netflix subscription to include HD-DVD and Blu-Ray discs and let the new formats arrive. HD-DVD, Blu-Ray and ATSC over the air are now working flawlessly. The Vista Media Center records and plays back when it should. My family and I are happy with the results. Jeff Hipps Last edited by Stereojeff; 08-24-2007 at 12:09 PM.. Reason: improved grammar |

Re: Blu-ray and HD DVD in one box
Yes, you can buy one for 299.00 (CAD). I just found out about this product and I'm getting one the Friday after Black Friday. My system consist of Power DVD Ultra (it will decode the new sound formats also) - Audigy 2ZS Platinum with breakout cable (I actually used my PC as a preamp at one time), Nvidia 8500 512mb video card, K-World ATSC-110 hybird tuner, outside OTA antenna, Dual Core 3.4ghz Processor, Windows XP Pro, 2gb dual channel ram, and an Asus Motherboard (I have overclocked the processor up to 3.6ghz) and my Motorola 6416 III HD cable box is connected to my pc via firewire. I'm also running Total Meida 3, and Media Portal as Front-ends. I'm using an Xbox 360 addon for HD-DVD and AnyDVD HD for any problems. This outputs to my Sharp HD projector.
Before HD-DVD and Blu-ray I've always used my computer to upscale DVD's with DScaler and the like. I believe we techies can have the best of both worlds without having to pay the expensive prices to plunge into High Def Disc (well HD-DVD killed the expensive excuse). I have run this system with great sucess but I have to make sure that I turn off TSR's when playing my HD-DVD's (virus protection will try to download and scan while playing a film and cause hangs - very distracting - just kill the app and it works fine). In some strange way I belive its people like me that the industry fears. Look I'm not looking to make HD copies to sell and distribute. What computer geeks do like however - is the convienience of not having to pull out the disc everytime (keeps them from being scratched too). I don't mine having a license assigned to my content (as long as it doesn't expire). We just like pushing a button - sitting in a chair with a wireless keyboard and mouse and never having to open a tray except for the initial time that we play a title. Yeah, that is lazy ain't it.

Re: Blu-ray and HD DVD in one box
I dont think the majors fear the geeks like us that just want to play their movie collection from hard disk. They fear duplication. To prove this, Kaleidascape (a system that costs a few dozen grands) has licenses from them and sells collection of movies in HD format (and standard as well), already ripped on drives. I hate DRM because I have my files backupped on several different HDDs and computers and WMA files failed to play more than once. Gimme a license but dont put it on the files themselves. I dont think I'm the only one, since drm-free content is growing while protected is shrinking, expecially in the audio realm. PS: get a better sound card if you use your pc also for music. |

Katie is only 12-years-old but has already been living in care for nearly half of her life. She was put in care because she became a victim of abuse in her own home. Care was believed to be a safer option for her. It wasn't.
When her carer began abusing her too, Katie started running away. She started missing school and putting herself in dangerous situations. A group of men targeted her for sexual exploitation. It was only when she was referred to The Children's Society's Safe in the City project that the extent of the danger she was in, was revealed. Katie's project worker at The Children's Society is Anna. Anna realised how vulnerable and fragile, Katie and her life was. She immediately worked with all the other professionals involved in Katie's case to provide immediate assistance.
Anna acts as an emergency phone contact at any time of day or night. She is Katie's voice in meetings with Social Services and the local authorities. Anna ensures she gets the support she needs including getting secure accommodation.
As a result of Anna fighting Katie's corner and working to ensure all other professionals were working as one team, Katie has been relocated many miles outside of the area, in a home in a countryside location. Here she will get the emotional support she so desperately needs.
However, many children aren't getting this support. Many still choose to run away and out themselves in danger rather than face the horrors that exist at home.

David Hewlett Joins PCPer for an Evening
Subject: Editorial | February 8, 2012 - 10:10 AM | Josh Walrath
Tagged: Ryan Shrout, podcast, PC Perspective, Josh Walrath, Jeremy Hellstrom, David Hewlett, Allyn Malventano
The Feb. 8 PC Perspective show on TWiT will feature special guest host David Hewlett. David is most famously known as Dr. Rodney McKay from the Stargate television series (one of the few actors to actually show up in all three series). He also directed, produced, and starred in the indy hit, "A Dog's Breakfast".
David is a self-proclaimed nerd and geek with a keen interest in technology. In his misspent youth he would build his own computers and attempt some assembly coding (with limited success). After achieving much greater success in the acting world he switched over to Macs once they adopted their current Unix/BSD based operating system. A proud owner of a Macbook Air, iPhone, and iPad,
Current interests include the new "white space" wireless technologies, iPad in schools, and new distribution models for TV and film through primarily online media. David has also started a new web series with his sister, Kate Hewlett, called "Assassidate". Currently one episode is online and the next two are in production.
David will be sharing his opinions and insights on the changing focus of technology in an increasingly mobile and connected world. He will be piping in on several of our articles, especially that of AMD's changing focus for their upcoming products. He might even chime in on the plight of Matthew in Season 2 of Downton Abbey. That's just the way he rolls.
So join us all at 10 PM ET/7 PM PT at http://live.twit.tv (or just use the widget below!) on Wednesday, February 8, 2012 for this very special show! DH-Day -1!

IWF figures back research showing new measures are required internationally to tackle the distribution of child abuse images on the internet
Wednesday July 5, 2006
John Carr, report author, NCH New Technology Adviser and former IWF Board Member, said: "Evidence suggests there are more child sex abuse images circulating online than ever before. And while some individual countries are making notable headway in the fight against this crime, overall our collective efforts are failing to turn the tide.
Indeed, the IWF revealed in its 2005 Annual Report that whilst the UK can be proud that less than 0.4 per cent of potentially illegal child abuse content is hosted in the UK (down from 18 per cent in 1997), the 99.6 per cent hosted around the world is still accessible to internet users in the UK.
IWF Key Figures from 2005:

On Feb. 13, 1986, members of the Darien police force went to a little-known state prosecutor with a rape case involving a 16-year-old girl and an 18-year-old man, both from Darien, a wealthy town better known for its gentle manners and expansive lawns than for lurid crime. The man charged with the rape was Alex Kelly. The prosecutor was Bruce P. Hudock.
The lawyer had no idea that his attempt to prosecute Mr. Kelly would be frustrated for 11 years because the defendant would become a fugitive, spending eight years in Europe skiing and hang gliding at expensive resorts with money the authorities say his parents sent him.
On Thursday, when a jury convicted Mr. Kelly of rape -- seven months after another jury deadlocked in the same case -- there was a satisfying sense of closure.
''A sexual assault victim has in many cases had a near-death experience,'' Mr. Hudock said, seated in the kitchen of the gray colonial-style house where he lives with his wife, Terry, and son, Sean, 11. ''And I have always enjoyed those moments when a rape victim has come up to me and said 'thank you.' That I find very rewarding.''
Continue reading the main storyLately there have been other rewards. Delivery trucks have brought balloons, bouquets and champagne. The phone keeps ringing: Neighbors offer congratulations; reporters request interviews.
But if these are heady days for Mr. Hudock, he doesn't let on. Mr. Hudock, an unassuming man, just smiles when asked what he feels about triumphing over Mr. Kelly's lawyer, Thomas P. Puccio, who has built a reputation for successfully and aggressively defending high-profile clients.
He praised Mr. Puccio, with whom he often sparred in the courtroom. ''He conducted the most extensive and at times devastating cross-examination I have ever seen in my life,'' Mr. Hudock said. ''And as a trial lawyer, you have to respect someone with those talents.''
Mr. Hudock's path to the court victory was long and slow. Throughout Mr. Kelly's odyssey abroad, Mr. Hudock was kept abreast by Interpol and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, agencies that were trying to track Mr. Kelly's movements. ''Without a defendant, there wasn't a whole lot for me to do,'' Mr. Hudock said, ''But I was notified every time there was a possibility.''
There were frustrating moments, such as when Mr. Kelly was in the hands of German border inspectors and he got away, or when the Swedish authorities just missed him at his home in Sweden. ''But I start with my initial premise that all defendants come back eventually,'' Mr. Hudock said. ''It's not flight without end. What I didn't count on was this particular defendant's ability to elude authorities for so long.''
In 1994, when authorities armed with a search warrant got a break in the case -- a letter addressed to Mr. Kelly found in his parents' home in Darien -- the case became ''a morning, noon and night sort of thing,'' Mr. Hudock said. But he cautioned: ''Alex Kelly isn't a personal thing. This wasn't a personal thing between me and Mr. Kelly's family'' or Mr. Kelly's lawyer.
Still, Mr. Hudock's frustration mounted after the first trial ended in a deadlock last November. When the judge called a mistrial, Mr. Hudock and the victim cried.
Mr. Hudock said he profited from lessons of the first trial. ''I was more aggressive during jury selection at this trial,'' he said. ''I extended my questioning of potential jurors. Jury selection took five weeks at this trial. We pursued a more family oriented jury, a jury that could understand a 16-year-old girl, whether it was because of their sister or daughter. This jury was more cohesive.''
Mr. Hudock also learned he had to object to Mr. Puccio's questioning of prosecution witnesses. ''He's an excellent cross-examiner and he uses compound questions, which many witnesses find confusing,'' he said.
He also expanded his list of witnesses, calling the mother of the victim to the stand. And Eugene J. Callahan and David Cohen, prosecution co-counsels who cross-examined defense expert witnesses, knew what to expect.
Mr. Hudock says he does not believe the first trial would have ended differently if the victim had not made a mistake when questioned on a point that may have proved pivotal: whether Mr. Kelly had taken his hands off her throat to lower the back seat of the Jeep Wagoneer where the rape occurred. At the first trial, she testified that he kept one hand on her throat.
The defense showed that it would have been almost impossible to lower the seat with one hand. But at the second trial, she said he had taken his hands off her throat but kept her pinned down with his weight, conforming to what she initially told the police in 1986.
Some have wondered why Mr. Hudock did not point out her mistake in the first trial, especially when the defense capitalized on it.
''I knew it might be a hook,'' he said. ''But to use the seat argument means you didn't like the victim or were looking for an excuse not to believe the victim.''
He chose not to challenge her. ''I made a decision not to impeach my witness,'' he said. ''I didn't think it was that important. I still don't think it was that important. I know the defense thinks it was important. But I never talked to the naysayers of the first trial.''
Mr. Hudock said he felt compassion for Mr. Kelly's family when the verdict was announced. ''You're dealing with human lives,'' he said. ''On a personal level, lives were being destroyed. How can you get any joy out of that? I'm a parent and I know how I would feel if that were my son. But the fact of the matter is Mr. Kelly ruined the life of a young girl 11 years ago and the law has to be applied.''

I really like Ethan's blog, Rugged Old Salt. Ethan has a gift for photography and clearly devotes a lot of effort to framing and composing his photos. He's taken some lovely photos of buildings, people and nature as well as clothing and I enjoy his more philosophical musings, too. Another thing that I like about Ethan's blog is that the content is original, unlike a lot of Tumblr blogs which are mostly reposts of mid-century modern furniture, girls on bikes, girls wearing glasses, girls wearing glasses whilst on bikes, girls sitting on mid-century modern furniture, food, and the occasional bit of clothing.
I like Ethan's work as well. Both his photography and his online persona display a generosity of spirit.

I'm looking for input as I try to choose a new briefcase/satchel for around $500. I'm looking at the following choices, primarily from handmade, small U.S. makers. (Ignore the colors - I'll finalize the color once I've chosen the style.)
(I've looked into the Saddleback Thin Briefcase, but they seem kind of rugged for taking to work downtown - with all the D-rings and rivets.)
I'd appreciate input or opinions from anyone, particular people who have bought bags from one of these brands.
1) Joseph P. Marcellino - Darwin 1136 - 16x12x3 - $350
2) Sawyer Cabinet Company - No. 2 Briefcase - 16x12x5 - $600
3) McKinley American LeatherCrafters - Briefcase Portfolio - 16x12x4.5 - $335
4) Tanner's Alley - Satchel - 16x12x5 - $325
As you can see, they're kind of all of the same type, so while I'm looking for aesthetic opinions, I'm looking more particularly for anyone's experience with these companies/bags. Because they're mostly small, make-to-order companies, I'm also interested in anyone's experience with customization. Thanks.

When I first asked Lori if she would let me interview her for the homemaker interviews, she laughed and said she would represent the homemaker wannabes. Guess what, Lori?! You're not a wannabe. You're a real, honest-to-goodness homemaker.
This is the thing. Not all homemakers are the same. Lori is picturing Suzy Homemaker who stays home all day cleaning and cooking from scratch and sewing clothes and growing her own food. There are homemakers who do that. But there are a whole lot of homemakers who don't.
A homemaker is someone who has a home they take care of. That's it. And within that homemaker definition are a whole bunch of variations. Every homemaker needs to run his/her home in a way that works for them. If the homemaker and his/her family are generally happy, then I'd say that's a successful homemaker. And with that being said, here's how Lori runs her home.
Lori is in her early 40's, is married and has three children – two in high school and one in college. She also has a 2-year old golden doodle and a cat. Lori and her husband, Tim, own three music studios that offer music lessons and a few exercise classes. Lori teaches Zumba and piano lessons about 25 hours a week at the three studios, splitting her hours between morning hours and evening hours. She basically works a split shift and her prime time at home is in the afternoon. She also walks a dog twice a week. And she goes to the gym three or four times a week. Oh, and did I mention that she is also still driving kids to their various activities although now that one of her high schoolers has a drivers license, that's definitely getting easier. The only complication to that scenario is that sometimes they take the car with the understanding they need to pick her up from the studio when they're done. That doesn't always happen. Good thing there's a couch in the studio. If they forget her, at least she can get in a nap!
Lori and her family live in a large historical home – 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 3 floors. They're pretty sure the home was built in the late 1800's making it about 135 years old. If you're familiar with old houses, you know that means you're usually dealing with a lot of dysfunctional spaces which is definitely true of Lori's house. Take the kitchen, for example. It was so dysfunctional they decided to redo it. Unfortunately, because of the hours required to run your own business, the renovations have been slow! As a result, the kitchen isn't quite up to par right now which makes cooking complicated. Lori's prep space consists of one foot of counter space on each side of the sink and about a foot on one side of the stove. That's not very much work space!
A really important part of Lori's life these last six years has been her goal to eat better and get in shape. It all started six years ago with a class at the gym. She started working out 1 to 2 hours a day and changing her eating habits. A year later she started working out with a trainer and learning more about nutrition. Then a couple years later she joined Jenny Craig. Jenny Craig was nice because there was no meal prep. Two years ago she ran a marathon. That required LOTS of training time! Recently she started teaching Zumba and changed her eating habits again. No more Jenny Craig. Now she's eating a lot of chicken, oatmeal, egg whites, and veggies. She has to plan ahead to be sure she has the right food and that it's ready or she might end up eating something she regrets! Her exercise routine consists of teaching Zumba, taking a yoga class twice a week and doing weights three times a week. Over the last six years she's lost 40 pounds and almost six dress sizes. Fitness and exercise are extremely important to her and take a chunk out of her time.
Time Management
Lori uses a monthly wall calendar to keep track of appointments that affect the family. She keeps her personal appointments and schedules in her head. Most of the time that works but once in a while her head fails her. "Keeping track of stuff is challenging because I'm an artist. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it." Lori relies a lot on e-mail and phone reminders. If she doesn't get a reminder, she probably won't remember! "If I don't get a reminder, I'm sunk!"
Lori doesn't like scheduling and planning. She's more of a fly-by-the-seat-of-your pants kind of girl. She has learned, though, that regardless of her aversion to planning, some things have to be planned if they're going to happen – like vacation. "If I don't plan for a week of vacation with the family, it won't happen. Summer gets here and everyone's too busy." It takes a lot of coordination these days to make a vacation happen, especially as the kids gets older and have more activities on their schedules. "If I don't check everyone's schedules and put something on the calendar, the likelihood of it happening is slim to none." So Lori has become more of a planner for the things she really wants to happen, like family vacation.
Lori and her family don't have a lot of time to spend cleaning. All of them have full schedules and lots of things they'd rather be doing than cleaning. So they keep it to a minimum. Daily tasks include doing the dishes (no dishwasher), wiping up the kitchen counters, and sweeping the kitchen as needed. Lately everyone is washing their own dishes. Lori loves coming home from the music studio and seeing a clean kitchen.
"Once or twice a month, when we're all home on a Saturday or Sunday, we spend some time cleaning. I've always had a goal of having Saturday a cleaning day but it's hit or miss depending on whether everyone's home. We clean the common areas, bathrooms, and bedrooms."
Everyone does their own laundry with Lori doing the sheets and towels most of the time. There's no schedule – it's just whoever gets to the machines first. It's not usually a problem, though, because Lori does hers during the day, Tim does his on the weekends and the kids do theirs in the evenings.
Lori does a lot of ironing. She says the ironing board is up all the time. "If you don't hang your stuff up right away then you're going to need to iron."
Menu Planning, Grocery Shopping, Cooking
Since the family is so busy and everyone's schedule is different, they don't get to eat together very much. Lori's meal strategy lately has been to cook a crock pot full of chicken at the beginning of the week (5 chicken breasts, 3/4 cup water, 1 dry onion soup packet) and put that in the refrigerator for the week. They use it for wraps, taco salads, or just plain. It's been working well.
Lori shops for groceries at Wal-mart and usually goes on the weekend. She tries to plan two meals she can make that will result in leftovers. "If I make a pan of lasagna, we have it all week." Lori says she has half a dozen things that she makes. She also admits that she relies on convenience foods a lot, especially frozen pizza.
She's pretty disciplined when she goes grocery shopping. "I hate being in the grocery store so most of the time I go in, get what's on the list and get out." She usually makes one big trip on the weekend and then a couple of little trips during the week to pick up things she didn't know she needed or items the kids have requested.
Biggest Challenges? Budgeting. Planning meals. Getting all the cleaning done. Anything that requires planning.
Most Satisfying Chore? Kitchen sink area – "if that's all clean & clear, no dirty dishes, I'm happy."
Most hated chore? Bathrooms, specifically cleaning toilets.
Lessons from Lori:
- If you don't hang your laundry up when it's done, you'll have to iron!
- If you have older kids, delegate! Let them take care of their own laundry and wash their own dishes.
- If something is really important to you, like vacation, you'll have to plan it if you want it to happen. Even if you don't like planning.

I think you have to be passionate about your relationship to your dog to fully appreciate the boxer. We are, some are not. We pretty much rotate our daily activities around our companions because we are rewarded by our breed. It means more to us than just a dog for my kids to play with or a sturdy-looking home defender.

Campaign aims to change the public policy conversation on austerity
WINDSOR, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - March 26, 2013) - On Thursday, March 28, residents of the Windsor area will add their ideas to a province-wide consultation on Ontario's financial future. This regional consultation is one of nine being held in communities across the province over the next several weeks as part of "The People's Budget" - a campaign launched by the Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL).
To coincide with the February 25 campaign launch, the OFL released a discussion paper, "Toward a People's Budget," calling for the public policy conversation to change from a focus on austerity cuts to the promotion of good jobs, economic growth, and public services. Community groups and residents from every corner of the province are being asked to offer their ideas for a new approach to addressing the province's economic, social, and fiscal challenges. The discussion paper, event listings and an online submission form are available at: www.thepeoplesbudget.ca. The discussion is also taking place on Twitter at: #PplsBudget.
"There is no doubt that Windsor area residents are struggling with the local impacts of austerity cuts in their community and they want to see Ontario choose a new path that focuses on good jobs, sustainable public services, and a fairer society," said OFL President Sid Ryan. "This is an opportunity for Ontarians to bring their ideas forward and demand a budget that puts people first."
The feedback and solutions received through the community consultations and online submissions will be gathered into a report of recommendations that will be presented to the government before the next Ontario Budget.

Stockton, Calif. - Tyger Pederson doubled twice and drove in three runs and Allen Riley added three hits as the Tigers posted a 7-4 win over Cal State Northridge Friday at Klein Family Field.
Senior RF Allen Riley, junior 2B Tyger Pederson and freshman DH Taylor Murphy unloaded three consecutive doubles in the second inning, and the Tigers never looked back after the four-run frame. Pederson added an RBI fielder's choice and a RBI double in the eighth.
Freshman RHP Michael Benson allowed two earned runs in seven innings, striking out three to improve to 3-9 on the year and lower his ERA to 3.34.
Cal State Northridge opened up the top of the first with a bases loaded walk to RF Miles Williams, plating 2B Ryan Raslowsky, who singled for the only hit of the inning.
Riley opened the bottom of the season with a double to the wall in left, and Pederson then ripped his first double down the left field line to tie the game at 1-1. Murphy sliced his double into the left field corner to give Pacific the lead, and after sophomore 3B/2B Curtis Gomez walked and a sacrifice advanced the runners, senior LF Brett Christopher added an RBI groundout. Senior SS Josh Simms followed with a single through the hole on the left side to cap the scoring in the four-run second.
Northridge answered with a run in the third, as 1B Cal Vogelsang doubled to left, and LF Adam Barry followed with a single in the hole at short.
Pacific got the run back up in their half of the third inning, as Drongesen singled to right field, and Riley pulled a single down the line in right. Pederson legged out a grounder up the middle which nabbed Riley at second for a run-scoring fielder's choice.
In the Northridge fifth, Vogelsang singled and after a fielder's choice, DH Steven Keller doubled to cut the Tigers' lead to 5-3.
Pacific tacked on in the eighth, as Riley singled to left center and Pederson brought him home with a double the other way, into the left-field corner. Gomez brought home Pederson with a grounder towards the middle that led to a throwing error and a 7-3 Pacific lead.
Benson departed after seven and after junior LHP Travis Lumby struck out two in his hitless eighth, the Matadors eked out a run off of RHP John Prato Matthews. PH Tommy Simis tapped a dribbler up the middle to get aboard, took second on a wild pitch and after a single by Raslowsky, Vogelsang beat out a fielder's choice to plate Simis. Prato Matthews responded with a fly out and then punched out CF Nate Ring to end the ballgame.
Northridge (23-28) fall to 10-12 in the Big West as RHP Alex Muren took the loss. Muren allowed six earned runs on 10 hits, walking two and striking out four in 7.2 innings. His record drops to 5-8 on the year.
Simms finished the night two-for-four for Pacific with an RBI, while freshman CF Tyler Sullivan went one-for-two with a sacrifice and a pair of sliding grabs in center. Riley added a sliding catch of his own in right field.
The Tigers (14-40) improve to 4-18 in Big West play. Game two is set for a 1 p.m. first pitch Saturday.

Just wanted to bring up this post to basically ask if any of the maps of the two courses that are going to be played will be displayed. I got a 2003 summer classic pro 27 map and a 2002 fort steilacoom open alt. 27 map, but not sure if the normal pro hole 18 is going to be played or if any of the new holes after pro 16 will be added in the mix or not? Are we still playing two 27 hole courses? Thanks.
Washington state championships - sept. 12th (c tier)
Page Title Module
if the layouts are the unchanged 27 hole layouts...
the pro 27 adds: a hole from SE12 pad to SE 16 basket then a turnover shot right after that, NW 2, NW 8-10 and 11-13 (new layout numbers)
the alt 27 adds: SE 14&15, SE 16 replacing alt 9, a hole from SE 17 to SE 18s basket to replace alt 10, NW 2, NW 8-10 and 11(short)-13 (new layout numbers)
the pro 18 hole is completely playable right now so i dont see why it wouldnt get played, but im not running it so dont take that as concrete evidence.
I did manage to play the pro 27 today and everything did go well, except my score of course. Only question is: What teepad do we play hole 23 from.......there are three possible teepads. I played from the new teepad just feet from the golf course, but i know that is more than likely not going to be the one. The map i have shows on both the pro 27 and pro alt. 27 to tee off from the teepad far left closest to the road (jason coke teepad). Hoping to get more clarification please..........thank you.
Scored a 83 (+2) with some wind (about 5mph) if anyone cares.
*double-bogey #3 (second shot hit branch and landed on the road)
*bogey #11 (over threw basket by 50ft.........stupid)
*birdie #14 (nothing specail)
*bogey #18 (as always)
*birdie #24 (super helix)WHEN I GROW UP I WANT TO BE A SPIDER BITE.
Could you be the next WA State Champion?
A little info about the upcoming WA State Championships....
This is going to be the 35th annual Doug Newland Memorial WA State Championships, a one day pdga sanctioned "C" tier event at Ft. Steilacoom.
This is the event that Lowell Shields has been running for many, many years but this year the TD is Gordy Kirkpatrick. I'm helping with the online interface, registration and online scoring. As many of you know, in the past this tourney has kind of flown under the radar and a lot of players were frustrated to find out about it a day or two before the event, or possibly after it happened. Gordy is hoping to have a lot more participation this year by making it a one day, sanctioned tournament.
The date is Sunday, September 12th (the day after the ace race at Dalaiwood) and the players meeting is at 8:00 am. You may be wondering why the players meeting is sooo early. The reason for that is the format that Gordy has decided to run... Two rounds of twenty seven holes each on the Pro 27 and Alt 27 courses. Yes, that's a lot of awesome golf and it's going to be an epic day!
Here's the TOURNEY WEBSITE with information and links to the online registration and event flyer.
Gordy is planning to come down to Steilly this Saturday to scope out the course and plan the final course configurations. I don't think he has seen a lot of the changes that the course has gone through this year so he'll probably enjoy having some of the locals there to add their suggestions and other input. Of course he'll have flyers with him as well as a box of custom stamped CFR discs. Champ Katanas & Glo Champ Aviars with the resurrected "Thunderbird" stamp that was one of the earliest custom stamps for the State Championships. Very classy and cool looking!
Gordy does not have a strong online presence but I was able to cajole him into getting a gmail account. If you have questions or comments I would suggest getting in touch with him there (linked to his name at top of post) or giving him a phone call, his number is on the event flyer.
This tourney is approaching fast and it would be great to get everyone's help getting the word out quickly so please tell your friends about it! I think it's going to be a great event and hopefully the most attendance we've seen at States in many a year.
Cheers, Eric
See you Sunday?
The (pre)REGISTRATION for WA states has been steadily filling. There's a big contingent from the Whidbey Island DGC coming down to compete which is way cool. I've heard from a good number of folks that they are planning to show up early on Sunday to sign up too. I wonder if it's possible that we'll have 70 players at states this year? I'll be over at Dalaiwood for the Ace Race on Saturday and I'll be happy to take registrations there as well. Hope you can make it, it's going to be a fun one!
Online registration for the Washington State Championships will be closing late tonight (Thursday).
Gordy, the TD, said he will still be accepting cash registrations on Sunday morning at the course.

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. (Hebrews 10:22–23)
No series on hymnology would be complete without recognizing Fanny Crosby. Blinded from infancy, she could have easily chosen to live a life of self-pity and bitterness. Instead, she considered her blindness to be a blessing that kept her from distractions and allowed her to focus on glorifying God. She rejoiced in the thought that the first face she would see would be the face of her Savior in heaven.
She went on to become one of the most prolific hymnists ever, authoring over 8,000 songs, as well as over 1,000 secular poems and several books. A great number of her hymns are still frequently sung today, including such favorites as "Praise Him, Praise Him," "All the Way My Savior Leads Me," "To God Be the Glory," and "Redeemed, How I Love to Proclaim It!"
"Blessed Assurance" provides a glimpse of the focused joy Fanny experienced in God. Though blind, she describes her assurance in Jesus as providing "visions of rapture." Truly, this was the story of her life—praising the Savior all the day long.
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
Perfect submission, perfect delight!
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
Perfect submission—all is at rest;
I in my Savior am happy and blest;
watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long.
Today's big idea: our assurance is in Christ Jesus for salvation.
What to pray: thank God for the privilege of praising Him.

ADELTA Tipi Chair $2,254.00 (includes shipping) Tipi was designed by the iconic designer Eero Aarnio in 2002. In designing it, he seemed to pose the question "what would design be without humor?" Nearly thirty years after the Aarnio Pony was introduced, a new bird popped up to keep him company- the Tipi. After all, what goes for the Pony goes hand in hand for his bird friend; in keeping with Aarnio's playful philosophy he's quoted as saying "a seat does not necessarily have to be a chair!" Tipi is constructed of a metal shell covered by an upholstered molded foam body. 37"W x 27"D x 31"H, seat height 22"
GHYCZY NOVO Garden Egg Chair $1,895.00 (includes shipping) The Garden Egg is an extraordinary design which has gained cult status since it's debut in 1968. Created by designer Peter Ghyczy, it has recently been made available again for distribution. Ideal as a garden chair, it's gone through a process of improvements; the result is a higher quality product, still excellent as an outdoor chair or comfortable indoor lounge. With the top closed, the EGG is completely waterproof, with side channels for run-off. Durable high impact polystyrene shell with optional turntable allowing 360 degree rotation. The most exclusive finish is is a white UV-protected lacquer in silk gloss; the second option is a finish consisting of several layers of high gloss lacquer in any RAL color.

ADELTA Formula Chair $3,144.00 (includes shipping) The Formula Chair is the result of the challenge Eero Aarnio has had in mind for years: to combine the sculptural elements of his early fiberglass designs with the ergonomic solutions for comfortable seating. According to Aarnio, The Formula Chair is one of the best chairs he has ever designed. Slightly rocking back and forwards, it is the perfect chair for relaxing with a refreshing drink after a hard days work. "When viewing the Formula 1 Racer from above, there are two wide armrests on either side of the driver; looking from the side there is an over sized headrest. Once you remove the wheels, what is clearly left is the shape of the Formula Chair. While both are designed for movement, the car is more likely to win you the race!" 32"H x 50.5"D x 51"W
B-LINE Superleggera $3,520.00 (includes shipping) A sophisticated armchair composed of a curved multilayer walnut structure and a padded cushion with leather upholstery. Some of the many features that make Superleggara unique in its genre are: the absence of any joining elements between the various parts of the structure, the anatomical shape of the cushion and the craftsmanship that goes into making it with a large number of seams sewn by hand. Permanent collection: Vitra Design Museum (Berlin). Natural walnut, leather. 30"W x 28"D x 30"H
