thanksgiving / black friday recap
Happy Sunday loves! I hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving weekend and partook in the plethora of holiday season sales. But first, let me apologize for not posting my Thanksgiving Day side dish and dessert recipes. Whenever I flake on a blog post, I feel really bad. It's something I've put on my New Year Resolution list and will be working on very diligently!
This past week really flew by and was filled with family, food, and getting into the holiday spirit.
Wednesday I came home and whipped up some awesome pumpkin cookies (find the recipe under the RECIPE tab)!! I frosted them with a tangy cream cheese buttercream frosting and sprinkled on a little bit of cinnamon sugar. Sidenote: If you you let the cookies set a few days, they taste just like pumpkin pie!!
Instead of joining the flocks of people out Christmas shopping, mom and I decided to go get a Christmas tree instead. We haven't had a live Christmas tree in our house for years and truthfully, I've been a little salty about it. (Here is the Urban Dictionary definition if you're unfamiliar with the word "salty". See #2 and #3.) Growing up as a child, mom always got a LIVE tree. Once my brother was born we opted for the artificial kind -- for safety reasons obviously. But, with my optimistic thinking and dutiful prayers, I convinced my mom that we absolutely NEEDED a live tree since this would be my last Christmas at home with the family. It worked. And we split the cost on an 8 foot Fir. Thanks mom! But the most exciting part of this whole shopping trip was me driving home with it tied to the top of my mini SUV. Now I know what it actually feels like to drive the speed limit! Hazard lights were in full affect!
And finally, upon arriving home after our Christmas tree hunt, I turned all my attention to the online sales. Not sure if it was just me, but I was SLAMMED with Black Friday shopping deals via email. As I'm typing this post, I have 28 more just sitting in my inbox waiting to be opened and fawned over. Sorry Best Buy, Amazon, Ebay, GAP, Necessary Clothing, LuLu's, Target, and everyone else. I am officially tapped out. No more shopping until mid-December. My bank account won't allow it. However, I can't lie, I was able to get all of my family some pretty awesome gifts! If you're still on the hunt for gifts, be sure to check out my blog roll (in the sidebar). A lot of my favorite bloggers have put together some great gift lists and linked the sale items! (I don't have any this year because I'm not nearly as savvy as my fave bloggers lol)
And to top the weekend off, I stayed home (why, Lord?! WHY?!) and watched my Alma Mater handle business against Auburn. If you don't watch Alabama football, you're missing out. Well, maybe not. The games definitely raise your blood pressure, so if you're on any type of pressure medication, you might want to -- I'm joking. Only kidding!! I actually recommend watching tons of Alabama football. Lots of winning going on. But yes, we won the Iron Bowl and we're headed to Atlanta for the SEC championship game against Missouri. So ROLL TIDE!!
I hope everyone enjoys today! Get into the holiday spirit and get excited about life!! My family will be trimming the tree tonight, so stop by the blog tomorrow (I promise I'll post a Monday Musing and pics of the tree) for a glimpse!

Today is Miss Jeanne's 50th birthday! Fancy that.
I don't even know what to say except for the fact that over the past few years, she has been a constant source of encouragement to me and she gives me a reason to be homesick for Texas.
Since we can't all appear on her doorstep today with champagne and pinatas, we're celebrating around the country, potluck-style. Which is exactly the way that we would be doing it if we were all together.
For this party, I felt that it would only be fitting to bring guacamole. It's our go-to dip of choice and pretty much everyone is always excited to see you walk in the door with it.
I've really had a yen for guacamole sans-tomatoes lately, so I decided that we would post it up that way, instead. If you want our usual recipe, check it out here.
Your grocery store haul:
- 2 avocados
- 1/2 onion
- Cilantro
- Lime juice
- Salt and pepper
What to do:
- Hack open the avocados. Remove the skins and the pits, and dump them into a bowl. Bonus points if you pick an aesthetically pleasing bowl.
- Mash those.
- Finely chop an onion and mince the cilantro to a pulp. Incorporate.
- Juice the lime (or rock the bottle of lime juice like we usually do), salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir again and serve! And this is where you run with it.
In our most civilized moments, this has been served with tacos or enchiladas. In the more desperate moments it has appeared on toast, at breakfast with eggs or on a spoon.
You'll know what to do.
I pinky promise swear that you will be the hit of your party or that it will be the star of your dinner table!

My current skin care routine: Featuring Murad, Physiogel and Tea Tree
Things have really changed since my last skincare routine post, so here is my current situation featuring three main products/brands: Murad, Physiogel and Tea Tree oil. Although I have had massive problems with dermatitis around my eyes in the last couple of months my skin has actually been clear and more breakout free than ever before. It is so, so nice to have clearer skin! I feel better about my skin and myself as well as more confident. I think it goes to show that investing in skin care is well worth it. Continue reading

Richard W. Rubin, DDS, MPH Faculty - Dentistry
BS, Zoology, University of California at Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, 1972
DDS, Dentistry, University of the Pacific, San Francisco, CA, 1977
MPH, Public Health, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, 1998
My main interests are in exploring the interface of public health and oral health, and in developing culturally competent/community-minded dental students . In 2001, at the University of Pittsburgh's School of Dental Medicine, I designed and initiated the ongoing non-clinical phase of the Student Community Outreach Program and Education (SCOPE I) and expanded the student clinical component of community service (SCOPE II). This overall program involves dental students' (I-IV) community activities and service, both non-dental and clinical participation, in underserved communities throughout western Pennsylvania. The goals of the SCOPE program are to help: 1) develop the students' cultural competence and communication skills, 2) create more empathic, personally-committed dentists, and 3) create a social norm of community-mindedness among dentists. My research explores the development of these attitudes and beliefs among dental students and the relationship of SCOPE activities in this process. I am also interested in evaluating and implementing new approaches in teaching and learning. This includes techniques based upon active adult-learning modules, "learning communities," debates, and discussion boards. Recent work involved an Innovation in Education grant from the Provost's office, where I introduced WIKI programming to the University BlackBoard system. As coordinator for the dual-degree program (DMD/MPH), in affiliation with the Graduate School of Public Health (GSPH), I am involved in the public health career development of selected dental students. In this role, I serve as a faculty member (secondary position) at the GSPH, work an advisor and reader on the GSPH student essay committee, and co-direct the Contemporary Issues in Dental Public Health course, designed for all students interested in dental public health. As a core faculty member of LEND Pittsburgh, I am involved in "special needs" training programs for dental students, By combining LEND principles and programs, the dental students, through SCOPE I and II, receive additional exposure to the special needs community by developing 1) inter-disciplinary training experiences, 2) student community service participation for special needs and other underserved populations, and 3) student clinical activity at special needs health centers throughout western Pennsylvania.

PermalinkI have equipped my 120° 1W chip led with somewhere near 50° secondary individual lenses and noticed that a fair quantity of light leaks through the side of those basically cylindrical lenses. Are reflectors better for this job ? how to select the right one ?
Raw Message
I read a test report made in 2014, endorsed by the swedish and belgian agencies of energy, comparing a dozen of warm white led lightbulbs shopped in the UK and sweden that showed that filament leds solutions are at least 30% more efficient that SMD led chips solutions. I am quite surprised because i thought that the most efficient leds are packaged in the chip format and the led filament is a technology/packaging patented by a taiwanese manufacturer and intended to replicate incandescent light bulb in decorative lighting.

Can a rape survivor with special needs be tried as a child?
For 69-year-old Nirmala (name changed), having a special child was never a hardship until two years ago. Tragedy struck her household in July 2014. Her daughter, then 36, was raped by their security guard. Nirmala rues the fact that she could not reach home in time after her help left the house.india Updated: Apr 16, 2016 00:16 IST
For 69-year-old Nirmala (name changed), having a special child was never a hardship until two years ago. Tragedy struck her household in July 2014. Her daughter, then 36, was raped by their security guard. Nirmala rues the fact that she could not reach home in time after her help left the house.
"There was a time-gap of 40 minutes between her leaving and my reaching home. The accused had not left. I felt something strange in my daughter's behaviour as I stepped into the house. There was an eerie silence and she refused to eat dinner. At night she kept screaming," says the mother, an expert in mother and child health.
Her daughter, a cerebral palsy patient, could not speak out that night. The disease has rendered the woman's cognitive ability and communication skills to a six-year-old child's. The ability plummeted to that of a three-year-old after the incident.
Nirmala says her daughter opened up when they were on a road trip to Dehradun the next day. "She kept crying in the bus and talked about some bad man. I kept asking her what he did and that's when she told me through actions," she claims. On reaching Dehradun, she took her for a medical test and got an FIR registered, which was later transferred to Delhi.
Nirmala then realised how "unfriendly" and "insensitive" the legal system in India is towards mentally-challenged people. Her experience began at the hospital itself.
"The staff was untrained to handle the victim," she says. The Delhi Police reportedly refused to detain the culprit until the case was formally transferred.
There was no provision for a psychologist during the trial. She took one to the court on receiving a notice summoning her daughter to record her statement. "My daughter was fluent with three languages but lost confidence post the incident. Her statement was recorded through an audio-visual and the psychologist translated her narrative to the judge, who refused to record it. He insisted my child speak and asked her to sing a song. My daughter broke down that led to an adjournment," she recalls, adding the judge warned that he would give bail to the accused on the next hearing.
Thereafter, Nirmala refused to take her daughter back to the court. The mother went to the court and informed the judge, this time a woman, that her daughter was recuperating after a surgery and had 22 stitches in her mouth. Despite showing surgery documents, the judge asked for a medical certificate.
Nirmala has moved the Supreme Court requesting her daughter's case be tried under the special law meant for the welfare of a sexual abuse child victim. The petition is listed for a hearing on May 3 before Justice Dipak Misra's bench.

Although TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint disorder, it's not just about your joint. Instead, it's related to many different components in your mouth/jaw system. To find an appropriate treatment for your TMJ, it's important to understand the relationship between these factors.
Factor 1: Your Teeth
TMJ often begins with tooth problems. If your teeth aren't fitting together properly, it can make it hard for your jaw to find a good resting position. It also puts additional stress on your muscles and jaw joint every time you put your teeth together.
You might think your teeth come together just for chewing, but in truth they come together at many points during the day. Every time you swallow, for example, your teeth come together to brace your neck muscles. Your teeth come together when you exert muscles in your head and neck. There is even evidence suggesting that night bruxism–teeth grinding–is caused by trying to help the muscles in your airway stay open to prevent sleep apnea.
Every time your teeth come together, their misalignment causes problems in another system, the muscles.
Factor 2: Your Muscles
Jaw muscles can play as important a role in dysfunction of your jaw as they do in proper function. Once your jaw muscles are unable to find a proper rest position–whether that's because of poorly matched teeth, jaw trauma, or other factors–the muscles will work to achieve that position by any means necessary. In the short term, straining of the jaw muscles leads to sore muscles, both in the jaw and in nearby locations, contributing to neck pain and headaches. In the long term, these muscles will wear down teeth, dislocate joints, and grind down bone.
Factor 3: Your Joint
The complex temporomandibular joint is designed to give our jaws maximum freedom of movement. Unfortunately, freedom is never free, and the price of temporomandibular joint movement is the risk of displacement.
Displacement is when the cushioning cartilage disc in the joint gets pulled out of position. It can be caused by trauma or by the combined action of the teeth and muscles. Once the disc is out of place, the joint's function becomes impaired. You may notice a popping sound as the disc shifts, or an irregular motion of the jaw. After a while, you will experience your jaw locking in place.
You may also notice jaw pain and inflammation behind the disc. This is because when the disc is out of place, the bones of the joint are separated by the ligament that's supposed to hold the disc in place. This not only doesn't cushion the bones well, it's vulnerable to damage.
Factor 4: Your Lifestyle
There are also choices that we make that can worsen our TMJ. Smoking increases the risk for all chronic pain conditions, but there's also biting fingernails and pens, eating too large of food, and other bad habits that contribute to TMJ.
And then there's the matter of stress. If you live a high-stress life, you're more likely to be clenching your jaw, which heightens the tensions in the jaw and speeding their effects.
Comprehensive TMJ Treatment
Successful TMJ treatment depends on understanding the role of all these elements. It also depends on a comprehensive approach to dealing with them.
If you are looking for TMJ treatment in San Diego, please call (619) 299-5925 for an appointment with a neuromuscular dentist at Strober Dental today.

EA dropped a major announcement under the guise of a small update yesterday. In a post titled "An Update On The Visceral Star Wars Project," EA's Patrick Söderlund announced some changes will be coming to Visceral's upcoming Star Wars game—and Visceral Games is no more.
Early thoughts on Middle-earth: Shadow of War
For whatever reason, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor's Nemesis System didn't take the world by the storm the way it seemed it would three years ago. Other games haven't borrowed the innovative system that affords players the opportunity to create endless stories within a larger game, but that's okay. It's back now, and it's better than ever in Shadow of War.
Friday the 13th Weekend Recap
We're officially into the second half of October, and I've once again become painfully aware of the speed of time whipping by and the crushing relentlessness of adulthood. Or maybe I've once again realized we're closing in on the end of the year and that's it. There's really no way of knowing which it is. Here's everything I watched and played this weekend to stave off the advancement of time:
Five horror movies I love—and five I'm embarrassed to admit I haven't seen
It's October. It's Friday the 13th. How could I not write about horror movies today? This is in no way an exhaustive list on either side, but here are five horror movies I love and five I should have seen a long time ago but still haven't for whatever reason. I'm leaving the past few years out of this, which knocks a ton of great movies out of contention—including It Follows, The Babadook, and two of this year's best movies: Get Out and It.
Let's get down to it.
Love: 28 Days Later
Post-apocalypse + horror + hope = a movie made for me. Danny Boyle and Alex Garland's 28 Days Later is terrifying both in the moment and after the fact, and it stuck with me more than most other movies of any kind after watching it. It breathed new life into the zombie subgenre while not really being a zombie movie, and its assured, frantic direction elevates the suspenseful story from greatness to excellence.
Shame: The Thing
This is, unfortunately, not the only time a John Carpenter movie is going to show up on the wrong side of this list. Everything I've heard and read about The Thing tells me I'll love it whenever I finally get around to being a decent horror fan, but I'm a little worried my expectations have gotten out of control.
Love: The Cabin in the Woods
The Cabin in the Woods is lightning in a bottle. It's a great horror movie and an even better deconstruction of horror movies. It captures all the good of slashers and amplifies it with the perfect dose of self-aware humor. It's never really scary, but its perfectly paced shifts between horror and comedy make it immensely watchable.
Shame: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Tobe Hooper's 1974 film helped shape nearly every horror movie that came after it, and it's widely considered to be a classic. So of course I haven't seen it.
Love: Paranormal Activity
There were several mid-to-late 2000s horror movies that could have gotten the nod here, but none affected me quite as much as Oren Peli's Paranormal Activity. It isn't my favorite horror movie, but Paranormal Activity's masterful, perfectly paced escalation of tension and suspense is undeniable. The fact that it was done on almost no budget and led to a massive franchise is impressive, but it's the superb build and payoff of this film that stands atop the franchise's accomplishments.
Shame: Suspiria
Everything I've heard about Suspiria paints it as a must-see horror film. It's thrilling, bloody, artful, and stylistic, and it's completely unacceptable that I haven't seen it. At least with this one I have the excuse that it's not exactly easy to see in the US. Hopefully the impending remake will change that.
Love: Alien
There's no denying that Aliens outshines its predecessor in almost every way, but it's impossible to replicate the tension and and isolation of Ridley Scott's 1979 masterpiece. It's one of the best and most important movies ever released, blending horror and science fiction with a tremendous performance from Sigourney Weaver. It just might be the perfect horror movie.
Shame: Halloween
So, uh… yeah. There's no excuse for this. I know that. Modern horror movies wouldn't exist as we know them without Halloween
Love: The Blair Witch Project
The Blair Witch Project can get almost unwatchable at times. At most times, even. Heather, Josh, and Mike's bickering is painful more often than not, but it's also real. Put in the movie's situation, I have no doubts that most people would fall into the same patterns of The Blair Witch Project's characters. It's tense and thrilling in its early moments, and there's little out there that matches the all-out horror of The Blair Witch Project's third act.
Shame: Don't Look Now
This one's been on my watch list for a while, just waiting for me to rent it and dive in. There's just something about the blending of horror cinema with unbearable grief that's kept me from getting there, though.
Have a good weekend. Watch some horror. Let me know what you're watching, and what I need to watch, in the comments.
2017: The Year of Playing Games I Hate
We play games for a lot of reasons. Sometimes we play for fun. Sometimes we play to turn our brains off and relax. Sometimes we play to experience a story. Sometimes we play to get lost in a fictional world and escape from reality, which I've been doing a bit more than usual this year.
2017 introduced a new wrinkle to my gaming habits, though: I've played more games I hate this year than I ever have before.
Dishonored: Death of the Outsider Review
I'm deep into my second time through Dishonored: Death of the Outsider. I'm playing the game's Original Game+ mode, which replaces Billie's powers with three from Dishonored 2: Blink, Dark Vision, and Domino. There are three NPCs in front of me, and let's just say the discussion they're having isn't a friendly one. Having linked the three characters with Domino, I'm standing on a nearby rooftop to figure out my plan to take them out and avoid detection—when one shoots another, which in turn kills all three characters. Problem solved.
It's moments like this one that I'll remember most about Dishonored: Death of the Outsider.
About that new trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi
You don't need me to tell you a new trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi dropped last night. You don't need me to share my thoughts about Rian Johnson's entry in the Star Wars franchise based on the trailer. I really only have one thought about the trailer, though:
I'm not fucking watching it.
Columbus Day Weekend Recap
It's Columbus Day. As you all know, that means basically nothing. It was still a weekend, though, which means there was plenty to enjoy on my TV screen.
On the catharsis of live music
The world sucks right now. I don't think I need to go into the reasons behind that statement, and I'm pretty sure this would be my longest post ever if I tried. There's plenty of good out there, though. You just have to try to see it. A special, intimate acoustic performance by my favorite band, The Wonder Years, helped me do exactly that last night.
Thoughts on Ghosted and The Mayor
I always do my best to check out all the new shows I'm even remotely interested in every new season, even as I struggle to watch just about every other TV show in existence. I'm lucky to find a show or two I'm interested in following past its first few weeks, but it looks like that might be changing this year. I've only had the time to check out two new shows so far, but I'm planning on sticking with both of them—at least for the foreseeable future.

Welcome to Brooklyn Hyundai
On 19 July 2014 the family owned company based in Seaford - Brooklyn Hyundai celebrated the opening of their brand new "state of the art" million pound Showroom and reception facilities on their existing site in Claremont Road.
The new facility was officially opened by Tony Whitehorn President and CEO of Hyundai Car UK along with one of Brooklyn's long standing customers' Mavis Mabey.
Gerri Ori the Managing Director tells us "the company started in 1978 in Brooklyn Road, hence the name - It was founded by Ted, Myself and our Dad, John. We started with £300 in the bank and built the business up to such an extent that we had to find bigger premises. We gradually expanded the company and built up a reputation for great customer service.
The location we are in now in Claremont Road was ideal and we moved in three years later.

We will meet in central Leeds
This way, the church is easily accessible to anyone, wherever they might live in the city. Whether you are a student, retired, married or single…everyone will be welcome. But our name is about much more than geography.
It will remind us to keep Christ central
The gospel is all about Jesus Christ, the Son of God who lived, died and rose again for us. He is the King of kings and Lord of lords and so belongs at the centre of all we do.
If Christ is central, then church is central
Just as you can't have a husband without a bride, a shepherd without sheep, a head without a body, so too you can't have Jesus without his church. The church is both the centre of God's mission on earth and the place where Jesus feeds and cares for his people.

Release notes for version 4.1
Couchbase Server release 4.1 extends Couchbase lead as the most performant and scalable NoSQL database for mission critical enterprise applications.
Release Notes for 4.1.2
Released in August 2016, Couchbase Server 4.1.2 is the second maintenance release in the 4.1.x series. This maintenance release has several bug fixes related to DCP, indexing, querying, XDCR, and security.
Fixed issues in 4.1.2Here are the notable fixes in the 4.1.2 release:
|Key value engine task will run at HIGH or LOW, but not guaranteed at the requested priority.
|Indexer process uses large amounts of CPU and RAM when no indexes are configured.
|When upgrading from 2.5.x to 4.x.x, TAP followed by DCP can result in a failure.
|When running multiple N1QL clients with request cancellation or low scan timeout values, a race condition in connection shutdown causes the indexer to crash.
|Purge Seqno would be reset in case there was a compaction call that was not purging any items, causing tombstone items not to be purged.
|Purge Seqno is incorrectly passed to the compactor for development design documents preventing Couchbase Server from reclaiming the disk space.
|When using cbdocloader and loading files from disk, the documents are loaded except for the design documents, which are silently skipped.
|Security upgrade for curl to version curl 7.49.1.
|The View engine fails with DCP start sequence number that is greater than end sequence number error and fails to roll back. This behavior can cause view engine indexing issues.
|By default, increase the number of non-IO threads to stay on top of all ready tasks.
|XDCR would temporarily get stuck in a loop when a node, which was previously removed from a cluster, rejoins the cluster in the situation where there are multiple Couchbase Server versions in the cluster and no mutations had previously been replicated.
|When XDCR getMeta receives an error that is not a network timeout type, it repairs network connection and continues in a loop to read from the client until a timeout occurs after 2 minutes. In this window, XDCR replication appears stuck.
|TLS configuration on the port 11207 is lost on server restart.
TLS configuration on the port 11208 is lost on server restart.
|After lots of document UPSERT operations, high CPU utilization remains for nodes with GSI indexes for an indefinite time even if there are no more UPSERT operations.
|More than one XDCR replication instance might start after replication is resumed, resulting in incorrect functional behavior and performance impact.
|select count(*) does not work correctly when used in a prepared statement.
|An offline upgrade from Couchbase Server version 2.5 to any version of a Couchbase Server release 3.x could result in a potential data loss.
|The Couchbase Web Console and REST API over HTTPS do not work for center web clients such as Chrome 50 or higher that are sending elliptic curve X25519 requests for TLS.
|Under a low mutation rate, long pauses can occur when updating View indexes.
|Fixed incorrect an error message for Go-XDCR when upgrading with swap-rebalance from Couchbase Server version 3.x.
|When switching from full eviction to value eviction, if the total metadata is bigger than the memory quota of the bucket keys will not be loaded even when warmup is complete and the bucket is online.
|Memcached bucket will cause the query select * from system:keyspaces to fail.
|In a multi-node cluster, two cbq shell sessions connected to distinct nodes have a window where index metadata is not fully synchronized.
|GOXDCR needs to handle NOT_MY_VBUCKET errors more gracefully, without restarting.
|When a high-priority task is busy, tasks of lower priorities never have a chance to run and have been observed waiting for many hours. This behavior can, for example, result in a node failover caused by the lack of response to statistics calls.
|If a DCP consumer is hit with more data than it can consume, it will run the Processor task for as long as this situation continues resulting in NON-IO threads being held and preventing other NON-IO tasks from running.
|The Cluster manager continuously crashes on an undersized system
See the following link for a full list of issues.
Known issues in 4.1.2
The following are the known issues:
|Summary: When creating a Global Secondary Index (GSI), the interactive query shell cbq can time out if the result is not returned within 2 minutes. Although the index is successfully created, the error message is unclear.
Workaround:Create the index with defer_build:true and then build the index separately.
|Summary: When the View queries with the options reduce and group set to true are parameterized by a list of keys that are not listed in ascending order, the produced results might not be properly reduced.
Workaround: Ensure that the list of keys passed to the query is in ascending order.
Release Notes for 4.1.1
Couchbase Server 4.1.1, released in April 2016, is a first maintenance release for Couchbase Server 4.1. It further fortifies Couchbase Server 4.1.0 and includes some critical bug fixes.
Fixed issues in 4.1.1Here are the notable fixes in the 4.1.1 release:
|Data Service (memcached) can lock up when replica indexes for Views are enabled.
|XDCR replication can stop working when nodes are rebalanced out of the target cluster.
|Indexer service can pick up a wrong index file after being restarted during compaction, causing the index to have partial data.
|Data Service (memcached) on windows can crash when failing to write to disk.
|When using primary indexes on Windows, the Query service does not release connection to the data service.
|XDCR upgrade process can fail when upgrading from pre-4.X Couchbase Server versions when a remote cluster is unreachable.
|Improvement: New private setting to block TLS version 1.1 and lower for SSL.
|Data service (memcached) can count operations twice when the bucket is using full eviction mode, and the operation has to go to disk.
|XDCR does not recover in some cases when there is a network partition between target and source clusters.
|When an invalid CAS is discovered, one of the following situations can occur:
|Improvement: New private setting is needed that allows disabling the cluster map being included in a Not My VBucket response from the server to the client. The above situation might in some cases reduce network bandwidth between clients and the cluster during a rebalance.
|XDCR uses more network bandwidth than expected due to stats collection.
|Data Service (memcached) can crash when the Cluster Manager incorrectly sets up the DCP streams to dead vBuckets.
|XDCR does not handle incomplete HTTP response causing replication to fail. This only affects XDCR to Elasticsearch.
|Data service (memcached) can crash when a race condition is triggered by rebalancing that was abruptly terminated.
|Data service (memcached): Increment/decrement operation will hang when used on buckets with full eviction mode.
|Cbcollect_info would take a lot space and a long time to run on clusters with a large amount of data.
|Query Service Count(*) with USE KEYS returned the incorrect results.
|Data service (memcached): Stats can be incorrect because of an integer underflow.
|Improvement: Data Service (memcached) has better logging around bucket deletion .
|Index service's initial Global Secondary Index builds could hang with larger data sets.
|Data service (memcached): A small memory leak was caused by DCP backfill manager.
|Data service (memcached) crash caused by a race condition when a DCP producer is closed while a backfill task is running. This can happen when rebalancing is terminated or when XDCR connections are terminated.
|Memcached.log can contain an unexpectedly large number of "warmup is complete" messages after the warmup.
|Data service (memcached) cbstats reset command does not reset ep_bg_fetched stat.
|Rebalancing can fail when replica indexes are enabled on Views as the Data service is returning the incorrect high sequence number to the View engine.
|Improvement: Reduced lock contention inside the Data service in some cases by reducing CRUD operation latency.
Known issues in 4.1.1
The following are the known issues:
|Summary: cbbackupwrapper on Windows requires that the file path of the cbbackup process has no spaces.
Workaround:Copy cbbackup.exe into a path with no spaces ( such as c:\couchbase )
|Summary:When creating a Global Secondary Index (GSI), the interactive query shell cbq can timeout if the result is not returned within 2 minutes. Although the index is successfully created, the error message is unclear.
Workaround:Create the index with defer_build:true, and then build the index separately.
|Summary:View queries with the options reduce and group set to true when parameterized by a list of keys that are not in ascending order can produce results that are not properly reduced.
Workaround: Ensure that the list of keys passed to the query is in ascending order.
Release Notes for 4.1
Known Issues
The following table lists the known issues in the 4.1 release:
Release Notes for Couchbase Server 4.1
Known issues
The following table lists the known issues in the 4.1 release:
|Summary: When using queries backed by GSI to perform singleton lookups and range scans, occasional processing of index compaction can incur long pauses affecting concurrent query throughput.
|Summary: Prepared encoded plan for N1QL statements with system catalog queries in WHERE clause may not be recognized.
Workaround: To avoid this issue, do not execute certain queries with prepared statements (known as `.adhoc(false)` or similar in SDK APIs). Instead, use regular queries with system catalog queries.
|Summary: Kernel futex wait call can cause ForestDB to hang during initial index build.
Workaround: If you are running RHEL 6x or CentOS 6.x, we highly recommend upgrading to the latest kernel (2.6.32-504.16.2 or higher). With Centos 7.1, you should upgrade to Linux kernel 3.18 at least.
|Summary: Latency on queries using the request_plus option on scan consistency may be abnormally high during index compaction, leading to application timeouts of queries. The response times may occasionally be in the 10s of seconds or the query may return an error due to timeout. The default timeout interval is 75 seconds.
|Summary: When creating a global secondary index (GSI), the interactive query shell cbq, can timeout if the result is not returned within 2 minutes. Although the index is successfully created, the error message is unclear.
Workaround:Create the index with defer_build:true, and then build the index separately.
|Summary: View queries with reduce and group set to true, and parameterized by a list of keys that are not in ascending order, can produce results that are not properly reduced.
Workaround: Ensure that the list of keys passed to the query is in ascending order.
|Summary: When the indexer settings are changed, the connections from the query shell cbq can sometimes become stale causing an EOF errors.
Workaround: Restart the query engine before executing the query again.
|Summary: Replication over SSL encryption from a source 4.0 cluster to a destination 2.5.x cluster may result in slow performance (rate of data transfer).
Workaround: We recommend upgrading the destination cluster to 3.x version.
Fixed issues
Here are some of the notable fixes in the 4.1 release:
|Memcached process crashed if it ran out of file descriptors during log rotation.
|If delta-node recovery was started after updating the bucket configuration, but before the bucket was loaded into memcached, a rebalance operation sometimes ejected the node from the cluster and the cluster vBucket map still contained the node
|Couchbase Server failed to start on OS X 10.11 (El Capitan).
|If a getMeta was issued at the destination cluster during XDCR followed by a GET request by the client, the background fetch operation for the item did not complete and caused a large number of disk reads and client side timeouts.
|When deletion of a large bucket happened in the background, rebalance was disabled, and the status of the ongoing background task was shown in the UI.
|Querying a view with a reduce function based on a subset of partitions resulted in a massive memory usage.
|If a vBucket state changed from active to replica while performing compaction, the race condition between the compaction thread and memcached thread sometimes caused an assertion and triggered a crash.
|Running the Elasticsearch connector sometimes resulted in high CPU usage.
|DCP consumer would consistently take 6 seconds to acknowledge a 20Mb mutation.
|Memcached would sometimes hang during shutdown.
|On a Windows system, the XDCR remote cluster reference was not updated after a node was removed from the cluster.
|XDCR based on DCP consumed a large amount of RAM with large mutations.
|When using XDCR with SSL, replication to an older cluster failed after an online upgrade to 4.0 and an error message that the pipeline failed to start was received.
|The mapping phase of the view MapReduce operation took a lot of memory if lots of key-value pairs were emitted per document.
For the complete list of issues fixed in 4.1 release, see the following JIRA query.

This curious little cluster of buildings is called the Vale of Health.
The holiday crowds and fairs transformed the Vale Of Health.
It is situated in a basin near to one of the Hampstead ponds and it has always attracted considerable attention.
Here, Leigh Hunt came to live in 1816; his house was on the site of the Vale of Health Hotel.
Thornbury quotes an old inhabitant, who writes of Leigh Hunt's cottage as having a "pretty balcony environed with creepers, and a tall arbor vitæ which almost overtops the roof."
There are very few even tolerably old houses left here; the little streets are of the modern villa order, and the great square tavern, with its tea-gardens and merry-go-rounds, its shooting-galleries and penny-in-the-slot machines, has vulgarized the place.
ThePrince Esterhazy is said to have taken a house in the Vale of Health in 1840; this has been "long since pulled down."
The place is now dedicated to the sweeping tide of merry-makers which flows over it every recurring Bank Holiday.
In 1851, the Vale Of Health was still a small hamlet
In 1864 Donald Nicoll formed the Suburban Hotel Company and built a large hotel close to pond.
It advertised accommodation for 2000 people and was known as the Vale Of Health Tavern.
It was pulled down in 1964 and replaced with Stanley Spencer flats, after an artist who was supposed to live on an upper floor of the hotel.
The Vale Of Health Hotel had continual amusements and The Vale Of Health Fair took place there on a weekly basis, around 1900

Destination weddings have long been a popular choice amongst couples who want to see the world while simultaneously tying the knot. While many couples opt to head to far-flung destinations across the planet, you do not have to go to extreme lengths to have a wedding held on foreign shores. In fact, you might simply consider an American wedding as a way to visit some of the most exciting locations and gorgeous venues around. America is a great choice for Canadians looking to throw destination weddings due to its general proximity and wealth of options.
If you haven't seen much of America, you might not know exactly where to go for your wedding. Luckily, there are some easy ways to get your wheels turning. Take a look at some of the more popular American wedding venues. This can give you a general idea of what might catch your interest and inspire you to find the ideal American destination.
Looking East
To begin, you might want to think about the East Coast of America. Home to famous cities like New York, Philadelphia, and Boston, the East Coast is packed with amazing locations to consider. A large number of Canadians have been to cities like New York on vacation, and plenty of people want to get married in Manhattan. Unfortunately, it can cost you a small fortune to try and get married within New York City. While it is expensive, it is not impossible.
Instead of opting for a wedding in New York, think about having one on the New Jersey side of the Hudson River. Cities like Hoboken and Jersey City are situated on the Hudson and offer a spectacular view of the Manhattan skyline. On top of this, the venues located in New Jersey often come with smaller price tags than you might have imagined. If you have your heart set on an having your American wedding in New York City, then you need to make sure you are considering your budget and how to best move forward without going broke.
Go West
While the East Coast might be a tad more popular, there are plenty of people around the world who prefer the sunny shores and exciting cities found on the West Coast. Locations like the Pacific Northwest contain gems like Portland and Seattle, cities which have seen huge population booms in recent years. If you and your partner have visited this area before and love the way the natural world mixes with urban environments, then it could prove to be an ideal wedding location for your event.
The cities to the south also have a ton to offer. San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego are three of the most popular cities to be found in the American state of California. When you are looking to get married on some of the most captivating beaches found on the planet, then you most definitely are going to want to take a look at the options available to you in California. As with New York, some of these cities might prove quite expensive. Still, you might find a great fit by looking over venue and travel options early enough.
Fly or Drive to an American Wedding Destination
Throwing a destination wedding is a wonderful opportunity for you and your partner to see a new corner of the world. Your marriage is going to be a journey, so it might be fun to start your adventure from a place you have never been before. If an America wedding sounds like the right fit, be sure to look over all your options and pick a destination that makes the most sense for your tastes and desires.

But in all actuality it is a dying and drying studio! Today I took a dying class at A Mano Yarn Center. I'd always wanted to do it and it was a lot of fun, if a little messy. The products of my labors are in the bathroom drying as I type. There's a cotton thick and thin in a chartreuse/magenta combo, a cotton rope in various shades of purples/reds/browns, a cotton ribbon in magenta/orange/teal and some silk/cotton in a rainbow of shades. I also did a little sock laundry.
I also spent quite a bit of time knitting this weekend. I knit a bunch of gifts (no pictures!) and I finished the back and began the front on the golf shirt for the shop. I picked up a cabled gloves commission and I finally picked the openwork dress back up and finished it all except the sleeves.
It was a totally relaxing weekend and just what I needed. I even got in a little nap this afternoon in front of the fireplace while it was misty and rainy outside. If only tomorrow weren't Monday….

…what is it good for?
We appear to be heading, at time of posting, straight into an unwinnable war against an enemy of tens of thousands who are more than happy to die at our hands.
As usual politicians are discussing what will happen with small regard for what people want, for the facts, and for the good of humanity.
They're keen to not miss out on their seat at the table and they're sending young men and women who signed up to protect, rather than invade, to do their dirty work.
Fourteen years after the mess began in Iraq and Afghanistan, and just four years after we went to 'help out' in Libya, we're on the brink again.
- If two years of bombing by other nations has done nothing, then why will our bombs help?
- If we're not going to send in ground troops, how do we expect to annihilate an enemy force that lives alongside civilians?
- If we've not developed bombs that can differentiate between terrorist and child, then how can bombing give Syria the future they deserve?
I wish I believed in something other than humanity, because that appears to be on the wain – at least in the houses that represent us.
Front Line Love
Politicians create fear.
They send boys on missions
made for men.
They don't give enough training.
There is never enough training.
by one they fall.
Show them how to shake a hand
before they fire a bullet.
Show them how to line up,
how to love again.
Taken from The Northern Line.

Pack is the world's largest community of awesome dogs and people who love them. This Summer we're sharing bite-sized interviews to introduce some of our favorite dogs on Pack. Want us to interview you and your dog? Drop us a note: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Talented K9 Tonya
Talented K9 Tonya the Marvelous Mystery Mutt is from Gainesville, GA.
Q: Does Tonya have a special trick or talent?
A: Well, that it's hard for me to pick one! I have lots of different tricks and talents that my people think are pretty special. I think that anything I can do that makes people smile and means I get treats/attention is special! I enjoy doing my 'jump through arms' trick, and any trick that involves jumping. I also am enjoying this new talent my owner has been working on with me lately, which she calls 'hind end awareness', and it includes exercises like walking backwards up stairs, backing up onto walls, and a few others. I also enjoy doing off-leash recalls, and fetching anything!
Q: What is Tonya's favorite place for an adventure?
A: Tonya likes to go for hikes on trails or in the woods, she likes big, open spaces where she can run, and she likes visiting retirement homes because she gets lots of attention from the residents, she gets to do lots of tricks, play ball with the residents, and get really tasty treats! She also likes going to charity events and smelling all the new smells. She has been to some pretty big cities, and she really enjoyed all the cool places cities have to offer!
Q: What is Tonya's favorite treat?
A: Tonya's favorite treats are cat food, peanut butter, any kind of cheese and any kind of meat, Minties dental treats, gravy, watermelon, apples, and cantaloupe! I also like most vegetables, but I don't really care for lettuce or cucumbers.
Go see more from Talented K9 Tonya on Pack. and on her YouTube Channel.


text: Awhile back I got a PS3 60GB console that suffered the dreaded YLOD. I've got the thing working again now and coming in October I'm buying a slim to replace the console. However I've got a problem that there are a few PS2 saves on the console I REALLY wanna keep that cannot be used on the newer console since it lacks the BC function. What I'm asking is if there's a way to convert these saves from their formats saved on the PS3 back to a format readable by the PS2 memory cards again. I no longer have a PS2 and plan to purchase one at a later date so I can play my PS2 games again. If it helps I was able to convert them from PS2 to PS3 using a Swap Magic disc the first time. I forget the whole method involved but it included using a special program and drivers on a USB Stick with the Swap Magic and ELF files.

When Scott met Brianna, he just knew. He knew he loved everything there was to love about her. He knew she made him feel like he was the luckiest guy in the world. He knew he was going to make her his wife.
I remember when Scott introduced my husband and I to Bri for the first time. We met up with them a few years ago at a local Vietnamese restaurant and had a wonderful time getting to know Bri; the mystery girl we'd heard so much about. Scott was smitten by her. I think at that time he already knew that she was the one.
Years later, I found myself spending the weekend at the beautiful Crown Isle Resort, ready and excited to photograph Bri and Scott's wedding. It was a hot May day on Vancouver Island. Scott and his buddies were bustling about the lush grounds, getting ready for their early morning tee off, while the girls were getting pampered by hair and makeup. Bri was as calm, cool and collected as she could be. After months of heavy planning, she had let the bull go by it's horns – this day was going to be perfect whether the plans panned out or not. She was there to marry her man. As long as that happened, everything else would just simply fall into place. And fall into place they did. Vows were said, tears were shed, speeches were spoken and laughter had broken. Anxious to get the party started, the new Mr. and Mrs. Bickerton did just that. With all of their family and friends, Bri and Scott stuck closely by one another's side and danced the night away. They held each other tightly, as if they would never let go.
Thank you for letting me witness again what true love is all about. Treat each other with the respect that you do and never let that spark that we all see between you die. Wishing my friends a happy and healthy marriage together, forever. -KB

Bri's calm demeanor assured everyone that it was going to be a graceful day.

It never ceases to fail that time freezes when the groom sees his bride coming down that aisle…
As tough as it was to give his daughter away, Bri's father knew she would be in trusting hands.
Emotions ran high during the ceremony. Scott's mom couldn't help but shed a few tears during her son's vows.traditional
A Chinese tea ceremony was held following the ceremony. Tea was shared and gifts were given within the family circle.
Married at last and ready for the journey ahead of them…
Bri's bridesmaids looked gorgeous in their knee length, chiffon Bill Levkoff dresses.
The folks at the Crown Isle were gracious enough to let us hop into a golf cart and explore their beautiful property.
Crown Isle's interior made for an elegant reception space which was very fitting for the couple's first dance. Scott and Bri had a few moves up their sleeves and weren't afraid to show their guests.
After a long day, everyone was ready to let loose and enjoy the party Bri, Scott and the Crown Isle Resort team had planned for them.
Thank you so much for being such great friends to Mike and me. I know Mike was honoured to stand beside you, Scott, as one of your groomsmen and I was beyond thrilled to be there to document your entire day for both of you.

We've always done things differently
In the early 1940s, wine farmers in the Perdeberg region grew dissatisfied with the low prices they were getting for their premium quality grapes. Then an astute farmer named Jan Rossouw suggested they begin producing their own wine and Perdeberg Winery was born! We pressed our first grapes manually in 1942 and while we have come a long way in terms of technology, we are still renowned for our hands-on approach!
A watershed year
1956 was a pivotal year for Perdeberg Winery. Unusually heavy rains in the area resulted in a poor harvest for most of the farmers in the area and quality came at a premium. Determined to continue producing top-class wines, Perdeberg appointed Mr Joseph Huskisson – our first full-time wine maker – to help modernise our winemaking methods. We became the second winery in South Africa to use cold fermentation and we imported other new technologies from Europe.
Another Perdeberg first
With the winemaking process almost perfect, it was time to turn to the vineyards. The expertise of a viticulturist was called in to help choose the right cultivars and implement ideal grape growing and harvesting methods. This tactic proved so successful that we were soon first in the area to employ a full-time viticulturist.
The one with the zebra
In 2005, Perdeberg entered the bottled wine market and we soon earned our stripes in the local and international awards arena. More importantly, this bold step brought us in direct contact with our consumers – and also allowed us to develop an international distribution network within a short space of time. In line with our innovative spirit, our consumer communications have been at the forefront of technology. Due to this initiative, our market understanding is working to the advantage of all our clients and as we grow with them, we aim to cement this relationship further.

Motor cortex inhibition: a marker of ADHD behavior and motor development in children.

PubMed ID:
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a childhood-onset behavioral diagnosis in which children often fail to meet age norms in development of motor control, particularly timed repetitive and sequential movements, motor overflow, and balance. The neural substrate of this motor delay may include mechanisms of synaptic inhibition in or adjacent to the motor cortex. The primary objective of this study was to determine whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)-evoked measures, particularly short interval cortical inhibition (SICI), in motor cortex correlate with the presence and severity of ADHD in childhood as well as with commonly observed delays in motor control.In this case-control study, behavioral ratings, motor skills, and motor cortex physiology were evaluated in 49 children with ADHD (mean age 10.6 years, 30 boys) and 49 typically developing children (mean age 10.5 years, 30 boys), all right-handed, aged 8-12 years. Motor skills were evaluated with the Physical and Neurological Examination for Subtle Signs (PANESS) and the Motor Assessment Battery for Children version 2. SICI and other physiologic measures were obtained using TMS in the left motor cortex.In children with ADHD, mean SICI was reduced by 40% (p < 0.0001) and less SICI correlated with higher ADHD severity (r = -0.52; p = 0.002). Mean PANESS motor development scores were 59% worse in children with ADHD (p < 0.0001). Worse PANESS scores correlated modestly with less SICI (r = -.30; p = 0.01).Reduced TMS-evoked SICI correlates with ADHD diagnosis and symptom severity and also reflects motor skill development in children.

The Antidorcas marsupialis, known as the Springbok is one of the most beautiful and graceful antelopes within the Klein Karoo. In Afrikaans, French and Spanish its called "Springbok" and in German its spelled "Springbock".
The name of the antelope originates from the Afrikaans word called "Spring", which means to jump.
This is an extremely unique trait of pronking. Below we explain why the ancestors gave the springbok its specific name.
The dark brown band alongside the flanks of the animal separates the light brown upper parts from the white under parts. The head of the springbok is white with brown stripes on both sides of the head running through the eyes to its corner of the mouth.
Springbok proking within the wild
The springbok goes into sessions of repeated high leaps which could go up to 4m/13 feet into the air, which is called pronking.
Did you know? The Afrikaans word for Pronk means to show off.
While the springbok pronks, it leaps backwards into the air and when it goes down, its back bows, therefore the white fan lifts.
The latin word for springbok meaning marsupialis, originates from the presence of its pocket like skin flap, that opens the top of the white erected hair on the springboks back.
While the exact reason for their behaviour is unknown. The springbok shows activities when they are nervous or either excited.
One theory of pronking is to indicate predators that they might have spotted or possibly to show their strength and fitness.
When running away or fleeing from a possible predator, the springbok will not pronk but will run at speeds up to 80km/h.
Pronking also enhances their vigilance and gives the springbok a clear view of its surrounding and the danger.
Visit the Springbok in the Kein Karoo and watch them Pronk!

Author: Ilija DespotovićPlace: MontenegroDate: 14 December 2009
Cheese, yogurt, sour cream, and curdled cream (kajmak) are not the only things one can make from milk. A dairy product commonly known as jardum, or grušavina, has been part of Montenegro's tradition for centuries. The first name is part of the country's Ottoman heritage, and is Turkish for 'aid' or 'help'. The local word 'grušavina' comes from the verb 'to curdle', and offers a glimpse of how this beverage is made: the long process of cooking milk until it's thick and creamy.
"Jardum is a vitality elixir that could be termed 'the Montenegrin Viagra,'" says Vasilije Labudović, an 88-year-old retired pharmacist who lives in the city of Berane, in northern Montenegro.
Labudović – who has spent years researching jardum and its medicinal properties, and has even written a book on the subject – explains that the product's special value is evident from its Turkish name.
"What kind of help? Well, for men to keep and boost their sexual stamina, because it stimulates the function of the endocrine glands.
The [Ottoman] Turks knew this well and that's why they had so many children. When jardum is properly made, men don't need to use Viagra," Labudović told Southeast Europe: People and Culture.
Labudović explained that the Šurašković and Radunović families, living on the slopes of the Turjak mountain between Berane and Rožaje, are among the few that still manufacture this special dairy product. The retired pharmacist believes that Montenegrin jardum should be trademarked and offered on foreign and domestic markets. Labudović points out that the product can be successfully canned. He won a prize when he presented jardum at an Italian food fair several years ago.
Jardum is mostly made from sheep milk, but must be produced at a specific time of the year – from mid summer until early fall – when the milk is thickest and of best quality, because the grass the sheep graze on is adequately ripe.
It is a custom among the people of northern Montenegro to make the year's first jardum either on August 1 – which is St. Elijah's Day in the Orthodox Christian tradition – or August 28 – i.e. Ascension of Our Lady – depending on the altitude of their pastures. The beverage is usually prepared in the so-called 'katuns', or summer settlements, located in mountain grasslands high above the villages.
There, in cottages of wood and stone, milk is transformed into cheese, kajmak and other treats, often above the open flames of a hearth, as wood stoves are rare. The often substantial quantities of milk are usually cooked in large copper cauldrons, while the products are stored in special wooden containers.
Jardum, in specific, is made from fresh sheep milk filtered through a fine, clean cotton gauze. The milk is then poured into a pot, lightly salted, and heated gradually, over a low fire. It is stirred constantly with a long wooden spoon, so it would not burn or boil over. The cooking takes quite a bit of time, and is finished when the milk has condensed enough to drip from the spoon like honey.
The essence of the procedure is to evaporate part of the milk's water content, while the fat content remains the same. When the milk is sufficiently thick and creamy it is removed from the hearth and poured hot into another container – wooden is best – where it is left to cool naturally. As it cools, a crust of cream forms on the surface of the beverage. Cool and crusted, jardum is ready to serve.
While jardum is not offered as a course on its own, its richness and calorie count are best suited to a light meal. An optimal combination is one or at most two glasses of jardum, served with plain cornmeal, corn flour pasta, or dry bread. Too much jardum on an empty stomach might cause diarrhea, which is why the elixir is not recommended to people with poor digestion.
Due to the lengthy evaporation process, preparing any quantity of jardum requires a much larger quantity of milk to start with – the ratio is roughly two volumes of sheep milk for one volume of jardum. Alternatively, one may use sufficiently rich cow's milk, but sheep milk jardum is considered the genuine product.
However, those inspired by this account of the 'Montenegrin Viagra' may be disappointed to learn that jardum is a product in short supply. Part of the reason is that Montenegrin womenfolk – in rural areas still mainly responsible for cooking – mostly shy away from the laborious task of preparing the elixir, additionally put off by the large quantities of milk required. Other reasons are the relatively short period during which jardum can be prepared, and the fact that the number of sheep herds in Montenegro's highlands is diminishing year by year. While cow's milk might seem like an acceptable and necessary alternative, those lucky enough to have tried jardum will testify that no substitute can compare to the original product.

Dear Everybody,
We have been running this site for nearly nine months now. It's a lot of work. We have to turn on our computer, we have to think of things to write, and then we have to decide which spell-check option to pick when we write the words wrong. Then we have to hit publish. In short, it's a real pain. But we do it for the kids. You know, all five of our readers whom we love dearly, even when they mock us. Because even though it hurts, we know they care.
And we think there are people out there who are way better at blogging than we are. Better at thinking, better at writing and better at smelling [good]. We have our favourite blogs, and we often wish that we could work with some of these people.
But wishing won't make it so. So we write this open letter to our favorite blogger—Jonathan from Copper and Blue. This guy writes every single day, sometimes twice. Robin Brownlee once called it "important, must read stuff." Has he ever said something that nice about our own Wanye Gretz? No, he once noted that "Wanye Gretz has shit for brains."
And so, in the absence of having any better ideas on how to do this we formally ask: "Jonathan from Copper and Blue, will you join us? We have a shiny new website coming, we have candy and our moms say that we clean up good when we're forced to leave our rat-infested apartments to steal moonshine from homeless people."
Hungrily yours,
The OilersNation
