Building a web application that can handle sudden popularity and growth is an important challenge - techniques that work well when you have thousands of users suddenly start causing problems when you reach millions of users, or when your site shows up on the front page of Reddit and you suddenly have thousands of new signups every minute. The power and flexibility of relational databases (e.g., SQL databases) becomes a burden as the costs of scaling a database starts to grow superlinearly, leading to the recent popularity of so-called non-relational databases / distributed key-value stores. I'll talk about Google's approach, including its internal database called Bigtable, and the public App Engine interface that anyone can use to build highly scalable web apps. I'll also talk about opportunities for summer internships at Google.

I will present some recent advances in Algorithmic Game Theory. I will focus on the computational equivalence of Nash equilibria for games, Arrow-Debreu equilibria and Fisher equilibria for markets, and fractional equilibria for networks. In additional to worst-case complexity, I will consider the smoothed and approximation complexity of these problems. If time permits, I will highlight some potential computational difference between solution concepts in games and in multi-objective optimization.

Back in da day, like 2 years ago, playahs was getting their ice on. The world of replica watches was on fire. Sometimes buying 3-4 at a time, high rollers, double parking their leased Mercedes S-classes and Escalades next to Chinatown street vendors, strapping on stunning Breitling replicas ablaze with cz's, precision handset by Asian workers in warehouses, basements, and watch part strewn kitchen tables.
Seems the game has changed. Where, oh where have the ballers gone? Have they gone the way of the economy? Has the demise of the almighty dollah pinched everyone's roll of C-notes? Or is it simply passé to be a pimp. Is profiling now considered to be in poor taste?
There's a new pimp is in the house: The Whitehouse. A new black hero for all black men to imitate and emulate. He holds no pimp cup, he wears no chain. His smile is powerful and ablaze without the aid of custom grillz.

The Ghana Soil Health Consortium is asking the government to introduce a policy to ensure farmers adhere to strict soil improvement practices.
The soil health policy being recommended will develop soil health diagnostic and management tools for improved agricultural advisory services.
The research NGO says this is critical to increasing agricultural productivity by discouraging bad farming practices which lower soil fertility.
Consortium Coordinator, Dr. Edward Yeboah, says falling incomes of agricultural practitioners could lead to food insecurity.
He points out the current situation is a disincentive to youth involvement in farming.
"Currently farmers are getting very low yields because they are not applying the best practices so they invest labour, and time to their agric practices but get very little out of it", Dr. Yeboah worriedly stated.
According to him, if farmers do not adhere to good farming practices, the soil will continue to decline in fertility and a time will come when farmers will face an uphill task to provide food to feed the country.
The Ghana Soil Health Consortium is a coalition of agricultural stakeholders for promoting sustainable use of soil in Ghana.
It has developed fact sheets that give overall activities of the need to apply organic fertilizers not in isolation but with inorganic to enhance soil fertility.
Dr. Yeboah says the soil health policy should be incorporated into the Integrated Soil Fertility Management (ISFM).
ISFM looks at how farmers can effectively and appropriately combine both organic and inorganic fertilizer for improved soil fertility.
It also indicates that fertilizer recommendations be soil-tested based instead on a blanket recommendation for all types of soils in the country.
Again, it will identify, develop and validate appropriate integrated soil fertility management technologies and practices to halt the degradation and restoration of agricultural soils for wide-scale adoption.
In a communiqué issued after the consortium met at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research-Soil Research Institute earlier this month on soil sustainability project, it suggested that;
In a bid to encourage more farmers to employ the Integrated Soil Fertility Management (ISFM) practices become one of the major criteria for overall BEST FARMER selection for Farmers' Day celebrations.
They also recommend that an award could be instituted for the ISFM-practicing farmer during the celebrations.

Con Man Confidential, a film by Alexander Adloph, was an eye opening film. The film which talks about the life about four different Con-Men from Germany, and their different stories, really shines light onto a world very rarely portrayed in modern life. It was fascinating how these men would take simple aspects, just as reading a person's expressions or emotions, and turn it around to fleece them out of money. Some of the cons that were discussed seem so easy to complete; it occurred to me though that it really takes a specific person to be able to execute these scams. Some might say that it was so obvious what the men were doing but in actuality, if you trust someone, like they make you do, it is very easy to just ignore small concerns. The film really opened my eyes to how in depth and far these men were willing to go to lie, and maintain their false identity. They had been living false lives for years, and even until the minute they confessed, they considered themselves to be that person. It simply amazed me! Also it dawned on me how easily it was for these men to manipulate the trust of another person. One man even mentioned in the film, that he has trouble trusting anyone now, because he knows what can happen and how you can be severely taken advantage of. This film made me think about all those I trust, and made me considerer what if one was really just trying to gain my trust to take advantage of me. This is definitely not true, but it just makes you think about who your friend is really, and who is trying to screw you over. Fantastic documentary and really opened my eyes to what the real life George Clooney's and Brad Pitt's (Ocean's 11-13) are like.

I seriously thought that he was the one.
I have been mentioning again and again that my Saturn is in the 7th house, the house of relationships. My Chiron, North Node, and Sun are all in Libra, which is the sign of relationships. Looking at those placements, one can already infer that one of my main purposes in this life is to learn and expand through relationships. It is the biggest theme or karma that I am supposed to work on in this life. When the transiting Saturn squared my natal Saturn on December 2016, the universe sent me a man who amazingly fit my checklist of my ideal man. These are the qualities that I look for:
Older than me (maturity, responsibility)
Mentor type, intelligent
Spiritual (not necessarily religious)
Different or foreign (opens up another world for me)
Sexy and very masculine
Bonus: someone of Arab descent
Who would expect that I would get to know that "man of my dreams" because he has read this blog?!
We did not intend to be involved with each other, but eventually we did. We only got involved emotionally, and not physically, since he is living in England. And it got to the point where we were already planning our future (yes, it was that fast): he made me get my passport right away so he could manage to bring me to England ASAP, he planned to go here next year to spend time with me and see if we have chemistry, we planned to have ceremonies of both temporary and permanent marriage in his religion, and we were already planning to have children.
It was so bizarre, sudden, unexpected, and the attraction was so intense that if I was near him, we probably would have married right away. It was that kind of feeling. However, the attraction was not superficial, or merely based on physical appearances. I really liked him for who he was. I felt like I have known him for ages. And he, also, felt very understood and comfortable with me. In fact, just a few days after we started talking, I have told him that we were probably lovers in our past life. He, however, replied that he doesn't believe in past lives. I don't know why but I believed we were. After a few weeks, I discovered synastry and composite charts for couples (astrology) and I was amazed. There were lots of positive indicators of attraction in our relationship and it was very Plutonian – both our Venus and Pluto are conjunct each other's Venus and Pluto (double whammy). Venus and Pluto aspects were already a sign of a karmic relationship; but what made me more convinced that we were indeed lovers in our past life/lives is because his South Node is conjuncting my Venus. I was probably his wife before. It is certain that we had a relationship or marriage. And that our relationship in this lifetime is something karmic – something that should happen in order to work on unfinished business in past lifetimes.
Anyway, before we really got involved very deeply, I have asked my psychic friend a New Year question about this guy:
January 1, 2017
Me: Hi Lawrence Happy New Year! I am so excited to ask my question :D
I have attached my picture and the picture of the man in question. He is the one on the left.My question is, do I have a future with this man? Because I want to end things right now if it doesn't have a future. Thanks in advance :))
Lawrence: Hi Anthea
Happy New Year
Checked him out
No future at all, I see him with other women, not a commitment type of guy. I wouldn't pursue him, but it's up to you of course because I can be wrong.
See you again with another dream soon :)
I never heeded his advice because of "it's up to you of course because I can be wrong." I still talked to the British Arab because we were talking about religion and spirituality almost every day. He loves teaching and I love learning new things. Apart from that, we loved planning for our future. Those were only the good things in our one-month relationship. What made me less happy is that I felt like I was only a side thing for him. He was so busy about his work and family that I always had to be patient. Being a Venus in Scorpio, I am very possessive and I want every confirmation and reassurance that the person I love is mine. However…
He thinks that I am old enough to bear him children so he wants me to be his second wife. Yes, second wife. Not because he is a widower, but because he already has a wife and a daughter. They are not divorced although they live separately. He told me that he would not divorce his wife because he doesn't want his little girl to think that they have a broken family. He loves his daughter the most.
Another thing is that he doesn't want our future children to live in the Philippines because he thinks lowly of my country. Yes, the Philippines is poor, but I think it would do the children good so they would appreciate what they have, have more sympathy for others, avoid getting spoiled, and learn about the beautiful Asian culture of their mother. Before I become thirty, I would be living in England, alone, as a second wife, away from my family, and utterly misunderstood. If he is so busy with his life, then who would take care of me? Would I just wait for him always? What would I do in England unequipped and unprepared?
He also told me that he would marry me only if I become a Muslim. Well, basically, there is nothing wrong with that. He is a devout Muslim, and I am happy for him that he has found the religion that suits him. Right now, I don't adhere to any religion but I am so drawn to spiritual stuff. I am drawn to angels, spirit guides, ghosts, other dimensions, astrology, New Age, chakras, intuition, psychics, and all that stuff. I don't think having an organized religion is right for me. I don't want to be "boxed in" just to connect to God. But since I loved him and I wanted to be with him, and he thinks being an "unbeliever" would essentially make me qualified for hell (which I don't believe exists), we arranged to have daily lessons about Islam. I loved learning it, my mind likes it, but my heart doesn't. I don't feel happy. I don't care about the logical reasons people say to justify that Islam is the only correct spiritual path that exists nowadays because logic alone can't satisfy me. And I especially disliked the idea of being in a traditional female role the moment I marry him, and I disliked hiding the hair that I am proud of by wearing a hijab. Don't get me wrong, Islam is beautiful. But it is not for me. Religion cannot be forced. Everyone should search for their own truths.
And so, one month passed but I still found myself in a constant panic when we were not talking. I don't think it is paranoia since I am normally a calm person. Since we were already so serious, I thought about many things like my own happiness being the second wife, the opinions of others around me, being on the right or wrong path for the rest of my life, not achieving my dreams once I marry a man of a conservative religion, and whether or not he is the right person for me. When February came, I asked again my psychic friend about him, just to make sure that I am on the right track:
February 1, 2017
Me: Lawrence please help me. I am really confused. I don't know what to do. I will attach both my picture and the picture of the man in question.
Should I cut him off my life? I feel like I'm a side thing for him, and I don't want that, since I am too possessive and I want my man to be all mine. I am so confused because I don't want to make another mistake. I want to be with the one I will be with forever and not waste my time with the wrong person. Please help me with this. I don't know whether I'd end things or hope for impossible things to happen.Thanks in advance Lawrence, how are you?
Lawrence: Hi, checked him out.
He is with other women but no commitments, he is into sex too much and can't be loyal to one person.
I wouldn't have physical relationship with him.
Feels like you got involved with someone you really didn't know.
Move on is the message I got, don't be with any man for a while, they confuse you too much.
Work on school stuff, and take a break from men if you can.
I know your hormones are raging sometimes.
After knowing this, I got really sad, maybe a little depressed, that I couldn't do anything that I was supposed to do. When he called, I confronted him. I asked him if he was serious about me and he couldn't answer right away. He was trying to find the right words to say and flipped the question back to me. He told me that he hasn't done anything that would make me doubt him. However, what matters to me is what he feels about me; not what he does or doesn't do for me. If I am going to spend my life with someone, it is with someone who is serious about me. After a little while, he got into defensive mode and he got angry. I apologized and we tried to forget what happened. However, I still felt very uneasy and insecure. So after a few days, I confronted him again. I really can't feel that he is serious about me. I can feel his happiness in our talks, but seriousness regarding commitment is a different issue. Then I decided to focus on myself and not waste my time worrying for someone who is not focused on me. When he called me, I told him that I am backing out from our marriage and that I decided to call it quits. He was quiet, upset, and he ended the call right away. And he blocked me too. And that's how it ended. It hurt. I reflected for a long time if I did the right thing. And just to make sure, I e-mailed my psychic again:
February 6, 2017
Me: Lawrence…we just blocked each other, why does it hurt? ;( Please tell me that he was just deceiving me all this time.
Lawrence: Hi, I don't know what happened. All I can tell you is that he is not right for you as I stated before.
Don't chase this person, let him go – that's the message I get.
Don't focus on someone who doesn't focus on you.
So there. If it was indeed a karmic relationship, I don't know how it was solved. But what happened with me was that I cried a lot during our relationship. I cried most of the time because I felt unconditional love for him. I loved him in an otherworldly way. I loved him for who he is. However, the person I need in this lifetime for commitment is not him. He is already committed to someone and I would probably break his family's heart if I chose to be his second wife. If past lives were true, I don't exactly know what my unfinished business with him was. But what we had was wonderful, and I know that he would agree. It was a wonderful feeling of unconditional love. Nevertheless, I felt lighter when I broke up with him. I wanted my freedom – the freedom that I would lose if I marry him. But I am so glad that I got to know him. At least now I know that I wouldn't settle for being the second wife again, the second (or third, or whatever) priority, and for being with someone who cannot match the intensity and commitment that I want in a relationship.
Wayman Stewart, the astrologer of Astrology Arena, said that the transiting Saturn square natal Saturn that happens when we are twenty-one years old is a preparation for our Saturn return when we are twenty-eight to thirty years old. And since my Saturn is in the 7th house, I believe that this is the challenge presented to me by Saturn. I seriously thought that he was the one for me. (My Juno is in Sagittarius; he is a Sagittarius.) Well, of course I had to believe my own delusion that he is the one so it would be a very unforgettable life lesson for me when life slaps the truth in my face. Even if it's a little heartbreaking, Saturn has taught me a very valuable lesson: commitment is commitment. Only responsible people should enter serious commitments. And since I am still very young and I still haven't made something of myself, I wouldn't be happy if I happened to marry this young. Love is not enough. Being past life lovers is not enough. But standards are definitely a necessity for a perfect lifetime partner.
And you (him), wherever you are, I thank you for playing a role in my spiritual growth. You taught me a lot in that one month. We may not be meant for each other in this lifetime, but we have certainly felt the connection. I wish you all the best. J

It's covering many different areas of day-to-day life, so there are a lot of different words and expressions I can use in day-to-day conversational practice.
Who was your favorite character and why?
My favorite character is author. I liked the way she is describing her city, her building and items in her flat. All her story is easy to understand, her interests are wide and her thinking is quite unusual.
Have you listened to any of Vivien Granham's other performances? How does this one compare?
This Vivien's Granham's narration is first I encountered. Her voice reminded me my English colleagues, same awesome pronunciation.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I would say that story in this book is pretty smooth. As I mentioned above, it's interesting to listen as author's world view is wide, easy to see that he has broad life experience and knowledge different people's cultures.
The most important point of this book is to teach you spoken English and it perfectly does it.

By apparent coincidence, in the same week, Alibaba announced that it was bolstering its anti-counterfeiting efforts, starting with the appointment of a new head of global IP enforcement.

It should come as absolutely no surprise to anyone with a brain that, for the obvious reasons, they don't conduct many opinion polls in Iraq…
But seeing as how today is the four year anniversary of the war, ABC News and a handful of other media outlets decided to do one, polling 2,200 Iraqis.
The results, not at all surprisingly, are not good…
- In November 2005, the number of Iraqis who say their own life was going well was 71%… that number has
dipped droppedplunged to 39%.
- About three-fourths of Iraqis report feelings of anger, depression and difficulty concentrating.
- More than 50% of Iraqis polled have curtailed activities like going out of their homes, going to markets or other crowded places and traveling through police checkpoints.
- Only 18% have confidence in U.S. and coalition troops.
- 86% are concerned that someone in their household will be a victim of violence.
- 51% of those polled say that violence against U.S. forces is acceptable, a significant jump from the 17% who felt that way in 2004.
- In 2005, 63% said they felt very safe in their neighborhoods, that number is now only 26%.
To see the complete polling results in a PDF file, CLICK HERE.
With sobering statistics coming in daily about the number of dead and wounded, these results are a sad reflection on just how bad things are over there.
And yet, despite these numbers, the Bush(whacked) Administration is in full spin mode (and acting very snippy) about the war on its anniversary.
We had Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice hitting the airwaves calling for Americans "to be patient" and saying that the war in Iraq is "worth the sacrifice."
We have "President" Bush saying that there's been "good progress" over there and that U.S. security will suffer if we pull out too soon (Is there really anyone left out there who still thinks Iraq has anything to do with national security in this country?)
I'm sure there are things to say about this (read an Iraqi's view of the war via WaPo HERE), and I could certainly offer my opionion like I always do…But in this situation, I think the numbers profoundly speak for themselves…
UPDATE: Hindsight is always 20/20, but this conversation with Kadhim al-Jubouri, an Iraqi weightlifting champion who helped U.S. forces tear down the statue of Saddam Hussein, is most revealing, especially when he says: "I really regret bringing down the statue. The Americans are worse than the dictatorship. Every day is worse than the previous day."
I don't know about you, but reading that "Americans are worse than the dictatorship" really, really hurts... and I am not being a smart-ass... it hurts...
Way to go Mr. Bush...

Sadness, depression /
about death
The misty moonlight drifts along
the fragile petals of a pure white rose.
A soft Zen melody floats on the air,
as I sit here and think of times past.
And slowly but surly I pull the blade across, watching the first few drops of my life blood drip down off of my wrists, And in the now silent garden I watch as the Roses turn red.
I take in my last breath in a soft Goodbye.

If you frequent farmers' markets, you might want to rethink your habits. Two geography professors at San Diego State University penned a chapter in a new anthology arguing that "insidious" farmers' markets are havens for white spaces and drive out long-term residents — sometimes minorities.
What are they claiming?
The Routledge anthology, "Just Green Enough," features the musings of SDSU professors Pascale Joassart-Marcelli and Fernando J. Bosco, who believe that the "whiteness of farmers' markets" contributes to "environmental gentrification" wherein "environmental improvements" are a catalyst in displacing long-term, indigenous residents.
According to Campus Reform, Joassart-Marcelli and Bosco argued that farmers' markets in urban areas are also exclusionary, because oftentimes, many residents cannot afford the food and "feel excluded from these new spaces."
The duo also alleged that 44 percent of San Diego area farmers' markets cater to "households from higher socio-economic backgrounds," which, in turn, helps to increase property values and effectively "[displaces] low-income residents and people of color."
Describing farmers' markets as "white spaces where the food consumption habits of white people are normalized," Joassart-Marcelli and Bosco added that "alternatives food initiatives" — such as farmers' markets — work against community activism:
The most insidious part of this gentrification process is that alternative food initiatives work against the community activists and residents who first mobilized to fight environmental injustices and provide these amenities but have significantly less political and economic clout than developers and real estate professionals.
Campus Reform reported that the academics did not offer any solutions on how to combat what they refer to as "environmental gentrification," and did not respond to the outlet's request for comment prior to publication.
The duo did admit that putting a stop to gentrification is a "vexing task" that requires "strong community involvement."
"Ultimately," Joassart-Marcelli and Bosco concluded, cracking down on gentrification requires both "slow and inclusive steps" to "balance new initiatives and neighborhood stability to make cities 'just green enough.'"

Hmmm, had virtually no travel "adventures" this time. Felt kinda strange. Delta did annoy me a little though. I've gotten used to "jetway checking" my carry on bag. You get a neat little tag, they pick up your bag just before you get on and bring it back to the jetway at the other end. It allows me to avoid the baggage claim.
But not (apparently) on Delta. They will give you a tag BUT you then have to chase it down in the baggage area. Which was especially annoying since Buffalo was fogged in and outbound flights were being cancelled right and left. So all that baggage had to be sent back down for pick up. Plus to be honest the Delta employees in the terminal were rather abrupt. It wasn't that they were rude, it was more that you were keeping them from doing something "useful/important" Not the flight crew however. They were very nice. But Delta is NOT my carrier of choice at the moment.
The young people were fabulous! What a great group from Hawaii to the Dominican Republic. Articulate, intelligent and a lot of fun to hang out with. General Convention is a LOT of work for everyone. It helps when you have folks around you that you trust and enjoy. I think I'm going to enjoy this immensely. Then I'm going to be exhausted!
Well lots still to do.

Today I was trying to get a good look at my feet beneath the casts, to see just how horribly scaly they are.
I was pulling at the edges of the bandages to try and peek under the cast, which, by the way, is pretty impossible even for someone as flexible as me, when I made a discovery.
Yes, I've made that up. But let's say I've coined it, like Shakespeare, because isn't it a great word? It totally describes what happened: a load of flakes of dead skin from my feet came floating out of the cast as a released the bandage edge, like confetti at a zombie wedding.
Almost beautiful. And yet, not.
I nearly took a picture but figured peole might read this while eating lunch. Imagine instead a pile of very large flakes of dandruff. That's pretty much it.
Oh yeah, I am SO looking forward to the state of my feet on Tuesday.
Two sleeps to go!

text: I'm just testing restores with Veeam Explorer for Microsoft SQL Server. One szenario is to restore a specific table only. It seems that it was possible via U-AIR in versions prior to v8 (stated here). I couldn't find any possibility to restore a table but only restore point-in-time or back to loaded restore point in the current version (9.5 U1). Is it still not possible to restore a single table? Do I have to restore the database next to the production database and use native tools for table restore? I neither want to use U-AIR nor become a dba specialist .

An internship at Automattic would really be a great opportunity to experience working in a team of amazingly creative and smart people. I have always wondered how great it would be to be able to work in a support position and help WordPress users. I mean I have provided support for a few users but helping the huge number of users at WordPress.com would be great!
It would be awesome to gain an insight on how things work and what problems users face in a normal day. And I love helping, so it would be great! I've always wanted to be a Happiness Engineer. It's a different thing to design and develop sites/blogs than to help users fix those specific issues that get them out of their mind. I can literally feel the smile on the other side of the screen even though I can't see it face to face.
I hope you guys check out this post and hopefully let me in on the internship! Damn, that would be awesome!

In 1904, Abe and Minnie Dubroff immigrated from
For a century, the family has gathered at Passover and celebrated the Seder together... first in Brooklyn, then in
For the last four decades, Passover has been celebrated in
Led by the three surviving sisters, Sophie Patasnik, Peppy Barer and Rosie Groman, traditional preparations were made for the Seder at Peppy's home in
Six Weeks before the Seder they shopped and chopped, tasted and seasoned.
Using recipes nearly a century old, they began to put together the Gefilte Fish, Cholent, Horse Radish and Sponge Cake.
This is a loving, living album of the Seder.
"I've heard it said many times, and it's the truth: The family that sits around the table together, stays together. And we have many tables," Peppy says.

Disgusting flavored energy drink powder
We like the Super C Energy powder, and I bought this store brand one day thinking it should taste pretty much the same as Super C. It did not. It was so bad neither of us could stand the taste. We used one package, then the rest of the box sat in the cupboard for a few months.
I finally bit the bullet and (wasted it) threw it away.

i feel your pain on this one. my dietician keeps telling me that it's okay to waste food on occasion. She says it goes from being an issue of waste to w-a-i-s-t. How much food can your body hold and still be comfortable? Anything beyond that is the true waste. How many unused boxes can your cabinets hold and not drive you crazy? Anything beyond that is the true waste. Now, if I could just internalize that idea I'd be fine! Good luck with continuing to empty your pantry.ReplyDelete

Saturday was a rainy day in Provo... I'm so glad I got some awesome rain boots from Rob for Christmas. Despite the bad weather, we stayed pretty busy getting great deals. Remember how much I love a great deal.Everything we bought at the grocery store I had coupons for (thanks to my big coupon binder) and we walked out saving more than we paid. Surprisingly, we also got a coupon at the check register for a free dozen of cookies. Don't you love when that happens? Mmmmm, they were so good it didn't take long for us to eat the whole dozen. Our tummies were full and happy as well as our fridge, freezer, and shelves.
We visited the mall where I bought a jacket and a tee shirt - all for 10 bucks. Thanks to the cold spring weather, I've already worn my jacket twice. And yes, that means I've worn it two days in a row.
We stopped at a few yard sales throughout the day and came away with some books, a pink bike for Rob... just kidding it's for me, and some other odds and ends -all for $20.75. What an awesome rainy day!

My "Aha!" for the day
Philippians 4:11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. (KJV)
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Bible, this verse was written by the apostle Paul. He lived a life with very little reason for contentment, as far as man can see--imprisoned, beaten, shipwrecked, chased out of town, continually moving from place to place...Yet he did his best to spread God's love to the folks he met, either through preaching or writing to them, but most of all by living a life of contentment.
So now my goal is to become content in whatsoever state I am. Kentucky is easy--retirement takes a little more effort. Love to all, and God bless

I struggle with this a lot myself. The whole "what am I supposed to do now?" thing freaks me out to the point where it's hard to be content with the daily grind of being mommy, employee, soccer taxi driver, and student. I'd love to just be Jamie's mommy and tell the rest to go on somewhere for a while, but as that's never been the case, I don't see how it could be now.
Love you!

I don't think I ever told you about my laundry epiphany. It was in our old apartment about 6 or 7 years ago, Tom was at work, it was my day off and I was folding towels. It suddenly hit me that this was life, just this, and that waiting for something amazing to come along wasn't going to happen unless I did something to make it happen.
At the time it was a little depressing, since I hate doing laundry, but I think it holds true. At the time, I hated my job, had just gotten this strange new assignment, and was waiting for my leaders to determine what talent they were wasting by not giving me other things to do. I decided I needed to show them what I was capable of doing, and it's worked out rather nicely.
And since I have a nasty habit of turning socks and underwear pink, that may have been the last time I did the laundry.

Every weekend, I waste time on virtual condo-hunting via Boston Homes, the colorful tabloid that brightens our doorstep on Saturday. Even though we've been settled in our place for more than a decade I keep looking, just in case something amazing turns up in our price range. Proving that I'm a deranged optimist with no inkling of reality.
I picked up the current BH yesterday, while cooling my heels at FedEx (my husband likes to show a girl a good time on the weekend), and spotted this:
Those decks are certainly far from ordinary. It would be thrilling indeed to have one, especially if your household includes small children or dogs. I wonder if the developer decided that railings would detract from the sleek lines and minimalist aesthetic of the aluminum siding. Or maybe it's the only way one can live dangerously in South Boston now that it's become all lattéed and yogafied.
Only two units are left, and I'll bet they're on the top floor.

This has not been one of our better weekends. Drama Teen has the flu. I had forgotten just how badly the flu knocks you down. She's on Tamiflu and has been taking regular doses of Advil/Tylenol, with the occasional bath thrown in to keep the fever at bay. I'm hoping that she turns the corner today and starts feeling better (I know she's hoping for that too!).
On the sewing front, it wasn't a stellar week. I had a business trip during the first part of the week, so no sewing those nights. Yesterday was laundry day and I do mean day. It took almost the whole day to get caught up there, plus keep a handle on how DT was doing. Still a little sewing went on and even better, no button pushing this week.
Used last week: 0.27 yards
Added last week: 0 yards
Used for 2013: 7.21 yards
Added for 2013: 1.5 yards
Net busted for 2013: 5.71 yards
So I'm still in the black at the end of week 4. I am hoping to get in some more sewing time this week. I'd like to use 100 yards this year, that means 8.33 yards a month. That seems doable this month.
I'm linking up with Patchwork Times. Grab a cup of coffee and check out all the other stash reports.

Last Saturday December 17th I was in Maarssen(NL) for the bi-monthly gathering of the Commodore and Amiga enthusiasts. It was busy, as it always is in December.
Gideon was there also and presenting his debugged Ultimate C64. He is really a nice lad and down to earth.
After taking some pictures I chatted with him. As it was rather noisy and I wanted some good answers, I asked him if it was Ok for him if I could sent the questions by mail, so he could take his time and answer them when he had the time. The good lad he is, he said to me:"just ask me now". 👍 I told him that it was quite lengthy and I wanted him to answer when he was relaxed.
So here are the questions and his answers translated from Dutch to English, Enjoy!
|A nice down to earth lad!
How did you end up with the C64?
Mainly due to the enthusiasm of my brother, who started programming on the ZX81 and later on the C64 and C128. Because he is almost 7 years older than me, I was relatively young when I learned about programming. I was about the age of 8 when I started.
Where does your passion for electronics and C64 come from?
Electronics: I find the practical side of the techniques very nice, and it fits well with my interest in computers and programming. When I was 11, I got my first own computer; that was also a C64, because I already learned a lot about it through my brother. Now that I had one for myself, I also had more opportunities to experiment with creating programs. Later I also soldered small things together and hung them on the C64, such as a temperature gauge.
Did you made any programs on C64?
Yes. Never very big constructions, but I have made a number of programs, including a program for my father, to search for articles. My program could then index and search on a floppy.
Furthermore, I re-engineered Giana Sisters, and created new levels together with two friends, and thus released an unofficial Giana Sisters II via a local BBS in the neighborhood.
Which programming tools do you use on the C64 and PC?
On the C64 actually none, other than the built-in tools in a cartridge, for example the monitor in the Retro Replay.
For the PC, see question below.
How did you come up with the idea for the 1541 Ultimate?
Actually, I was already working for a while to rebuild parts of the C64. Then Jeri Ellsworth came with her C64 implementation (later C1). I did not feel like playing the "me too" game, so I thought: I'll re-implement the 1541 drive. I already had a reasonable implementation of the 6502, so it was not really that difficult. Then I had to puzzle out how the floppy images would be sent to this emulator. At the very first demo of the 1541 emulation a floppy image (.d64) had to be sent via Ethernet from a PC. That was not very practical. Then the idea arose to create a selection menu that ran on the VIC itself. To this end, I tried to 'take over' the VIC via the cartridge port and DMA. It worked. In the end, a colleague did not think it was a good idea, because they had to 'sacrifice' the cartridge port for this purpose. He had a point there. Then I decided to also emulate two cartridges, the FC3 and the Action Replay, in order to eliminate this "drawback" of an occupied cartridge port. This proved to be a success!
When did you start the 1541U and when was this done?
Somewhere in 2006 I had the first floppy emulator in FPGA, and in 2007 the first Ultimate prototype came as a cartridge. At the end of that year, the production of the first Ultimate generation was started.
How much time did you put into the first 1541U?
I really have not kept that up.
Which tools do you use for this?
On the PC I mostly use Eclipse as a programming environment, but of course many other tools, such as 64tass to convert assembly code into a binary for the C64. And of course the compilers for the embedded soft cores that run in the Ultimate.
Anyway, there are also many other tools that I use for the hardware, and for FPGA design there are also several tools that I use, including a simulator (Modelsim and Aldec Riviera). And then of course there are the vendor-specific environments of Xilinx and Altera that I use to build the FPGAs.
The most recent is the 1541U2+, how do you explain the evolution from 1541U to the 1541U2 and to the present 1541U2+?
The most recent is the U2 + indeed. The U1 had some caprices, was not properly maintainable in terms of code, and was not great in terms of production, so I started again. I also thought it would be necessary to have a case around the PCB. That is how the U2 originated. I have produced these for a number of years, until the factory of the casings lost the injection mold for the second time. Also the FPGA of Xilinx suddenly became considerably more expensive, because this type came to the end of its life cycle. This was the time for an upgrade. The U2 + was created, with a new and better housing and a FPGA of a more recent family.
What functionality differences exist between these 3 generations? What are the differences in hardware such as the FPGA?
There are too many differences to list them in detail. The U2 + has a somewhat larger FPGA, of Altera (now Intel), of the type Cyclone IV, while the U2 has a Xilinx Spartan 3A. The U2 + also has standard Ethernet on board, a speaker for the drive sounds, and an analog audio out- AND input. The audio output is of much higher quality than that of the U2. More USB ports, too.
How did you come up with the idea for the Ultimate C64?
I had this idea for quite a long time. I once gave a demo of a Commodore 64 in FPGA from my hand, sometime in 2011 or 2012. I only had the idea that this would never be feasible to take it into production, because of the board's price. The whole idea ended up in a box in the attic, and I did not do anything with it anymore. But, it turns out that the quality of the real C64s is deteriorating. I notice this with more and more problems with the Ultimate cartridges that are actually caused by failing old hardware. In order to let the C64 live on, I thought it was worthwhile at some point to get rid of the layer of dust from the project of a few years ago. And, ... by solving some things a bit more cleverly, and with more experience in terms of production and purchasing it has become feasible. Of course, the experience with the U2 + also helped to create a solid design.
Since when did you start this and what are the number of man-days that you have spent on this (women's days included ;-) )?
I do not keep this, sorry. I started the new hardware design at the beginning of this year (2017). Anyway, it went with ups and downs. Sometimes it was quiet for a few months. Around August I had the first prototypes, I started testing, measuring and debugging, and now, in mid-December, I can finally say that the first batch of U64s is in production. In technical terms: the zero series.
I suspect that the FPGA is different from the 1541U2 +. Can you describe this more please?
The FPGA is indeed different. The U64 uses one of the members of the Cyclone V family of Altera / Intel, while the U2 + uses a Cyclone IV.
A tentative release date for the UC64?
I expect that at the end of January 2018 the first 100 pieces will leave the factory.
Did you use other tools for the UC64 than for the 1541U2+? Explain please.
No actually not. Just a good editor for the VHDL code (Eclipse), and a good simulator. For the U64 I have measured a bit more on a real C64. Of course, I built all kinds of tools for myself to verify what I had made. I have the most fun when figuring things out myself, and I have certainly not neglected on the U64.
Do you want to share something with the group?
Euhm .. I cannot think of anything in 1, 2, 3 .. Oh, yes, maybe. There is a new website in the making, which makes it easier to order / pre-order the U2 + and the U64. I have received a lot of questions in the past about the ordering process, and I hope that with the new website it will be immediately clear. As soon as the website is opened, I will announce this on Facebook, and also link it from the old website.
This conludes the interview. Please leave a message if like the blog or just want to share your view on the subject 😉
Bye for now and till next time 😊

"Prime Time" is returning to prime time.
Former Cowboys superstar Deion Sanders and his wife, Pilar, will be the subject of a new Oxygen network reality series, tentatively titled Deion and Pilar Sanders: Prime Time Love. The eight-episode series is currently filming in and around Dallas and will debut in February.
Mr. Sanders joins Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and former teammate Emmitt Smith (Dancing With the Stars) in the parade of Dallas sports figures to make the jump to reality television.
Prime Time Love will follow the couple and their five kids, focusing on former model Ms. Sanders' desire to do something bigger with her life than the family's tiny town of Prosper can offer. Meanwhile, Mr. Sanders is content to stay home with the kids and enjoy his retirement.
Debby Beece, president of programming for Oxygen, says the couple's personalities and the challenges they face together should resonate with the network's mostly female audience.
"I think he's a great dad and a very caring husband and a big iconic character," she said in a telephone interview Tuesday. "And he's not like one of these bad boy, idiot husbands that you see on TV. He's very centered and real. GuideLive
