STD Home > Specific Safety Concerns With Aviane
Specific Precautions and Warnings With AvianeWarnings and precautions to be aware of prior to using Aviane include the following:
- Aviane can interact with a number of different medications (see Drug Interactions With Aviane). Many of these interactions are severe enough to lead to unintentional pregnancy.
- When taken correctly, Aviane is effective at preventing pregnancy. However, it becomes much less effective if taken incorrectly. Make sure you understand exactly how to take Aviane, including how and when to start it and what to do if you miss pills.
- The medication does not protect against HIV, AIDS, or other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). In many cases, it is advisable to use condoms in addition to Aviane.
- Combined oral contraceptives (including Aviane) increase the risk of life-threatening problems, such as heart attacks, strokes, and blood clots. The risk is quite small for healthy, young, nonsmoking women. However, tell your healthcare provider if you have ever had a blood clot, stroke, heart attack, or chest pain. Smoking cigarettes greatly increases the risk of these serious Aviane side effects. This risk is particularly high for smokers over the age of 35.
- Combined oral contraceptives may slightly increase the risk of breast cancer or cervical cancer, although this is an unresolved and controversial issue. However, combined oral contraceptives seem to help protect women against ovarian and uterine cancer.
- Oral contraceptives increase the risk of benign (noncancerous) liver tumors. In rare cases, these tumors can rupture and cause serious problems.
- Hormonal contraceptives such as Aviane may make gallbladder disease worse. Therefore, if you have had a problem with your gallbladder, this medication may not be the best contraceptive method for you.
- Aviane may increase blood sugar, particularly in women with diabetes. In this case, your healthcare provider may need to monitor you more closely. Let your healthcare provider know if you have any sudden vision changes, as this may be a sign of a blood clot in the eyes (a possible side effect of Aviane and other hormonal contraceptives).
- Hormonal contraceptives (including Aviane) can increase your blood pressure. This can be a problem if you already have high blood pressure.
- The medication can change your menstrual bleeding patterns. Some women have breakthrough bleeding (bleeding between periods), while others may not have a period at all. It is normal to have shorter and lighter periods while using Aviane. However, if you notice any unusual changes in your bleeding patterns, let your healthcare provider know. If you miss a period, you should make sure you are not pregnant.
- Aviane can affect your cholesterol. Your healthcare provider may need to check your cholesterol levels after you start the drug, especially if you already have high cholesterol.
- Sometimes, hormonal contraceptives may make depression worse. Let your healthcare provider know if you develop new or worsening depression symptoms while taking Aviane.
- Occasionally, Aviane (as well as any other hormonal contraceptive) can cause eye changes that make it more difficult to wear contact lenses.
- Aviane is considered a pregnancy Category X medication. This means that it should not be used during pregnancy (see Alesse and Pregnancy).
- Contraceptive hormones, such as the ones in Aviane, pass through breast milk. Therefore, if you are breastfeeding or plan to start, discuss this with your healthcare provider prior to taking the drug (see Alesse and Breastfeeding). Combined hormonal contraceptives are not usually recommended for breastfeeding women.

The Cardturner by Louis Sachar
Delacorte Books for Young Readers
Young Adult, 352 pages
The Cardturner first hit my radar at ALA. I received a review copy of the first couple chapters and I found the cover intriguing as well as the first couple chapter titles. Finding the book in my local library on audiobook was a recent happy find. Every other Saturday I drive an hour one way to grad class. Audiobooks help make the time more enjoyable.
When I first put in The Cardturner, I have to admit I had a healthy dose of skeptism. I have to admit that if I'd had another audiobook or wasn't starting an hour drive at 7 am on a Saturday morning, I might have turned it off. That would have been a mistake! What led to my initial reaction? First, the author narrates the book, and I wasn't too sure at first about Louis Sachar's voice being the right choice for audio. I really like his other books though, so I decided to try to get over it.
Second, The book starts with an author's note, while very witty, also made me feel skeptical about the book. Did I really want to read a book about the card game Bridge? I've never played it. I don't know anything about it. I couldn't imagine there was enough to fill a book about that would hold my attention.
Good thing for me, there was no turning back.
The Cardturner is a great story of Alton Richards, a teenager who doesn't have too much going for him. His parents don't seem to have very many positive interactions with him, but despite this, he does not turn into "angry teen" or "misunderstood teen". This was a nice change of pace in a contemporary young adult book.
In an attempt to procure some of his wealthy uncle's money for the family, Alton's mother volunteers him to be his uncle's cardturner for a card game. Uncle Lester is gruff, terse, wealthy, and blind. She doesn't bother to mention that the card turning is not just for a single game, but multiple times a week. For the whole summer.
Through Alton's cardturning for his Uncle Lester, the reader learns about the card game Bridge, just as Alton does: one card at a time. Much to Alton's initial disbelief, his uncle Lester can play the game as well as he did before he became blind just by Alton reading the hand he is dealt to him at the beginning and then playing the cards instructed to him.
I have to admit that I became pretty intrigued by the idea of Bridge as a pairs game. Why don't people play more cards? Do I know anyone who plays Bridge? How does one go about learning to play? Could I have friends over to play Bridge or some other card game and have it be fun for all? Hmmm….
In addition to the unfolding relationship between Alton and his uncle Lester, I also really enjoyed Alton's relationship with his younger sister. Once again, it was refreshing to have such a positive brother-sister relationship portrayed without it being any big deal. Eleven year old sister, sixteen year old brother. Not usually a relationship that includes helping each other, playing cards together, and an unspoken alliance to survive their dysfunctional parents.
Alton's friend Cliff and new friend Tony, also are realistic relationships that Sachar does a wonderful job of developing.
I kept being reminded of Richard Peck's Grandma Dowdel. I even typed Peck's name a few times in place of Sachar's and had to watch myself for that oversight. The age difference between characters, the back story that is revealed about uncle Lester, all is reminisent of the storytelling variety found in A Long Way from Chicago.
I think this book might make a fun read aloud, with time spent actually trying out some of the card hands Alton learns. I also think it would be big fun to make the foghorn sound whenever the reader got the whale symbol in the book, indicating the reader is coming to a part that might be difficult to understand, as it is mostly "bridge jibberish" (Alton's words) explained in detail. A nice summary box comes right after, allowing the reader to choose to skip the "jibberish" if it's not to their liking and still be able to understand the story.
Overall a great contemporary young adult story that I highly recommend.

Barry Allen is getting a makeover when The Flash returns for Season 5! Grant Gustin has shared the first photo of Barry's new super-suit, and while the differences aren't that drastic -- or maybe even all that obvious? -- there is one very noticeable change: Dude, where's your chinstrap?
The cowl in the new Flash suit seems to come sans-chin piece, which will probably make the whole thing much more comfortable for the actor, but we'll still miss that little guy. The updated suit also appears to have some other improvements going on, namely, it's using less leather and more breathable fabric.Grant Gustin, The Flash" data-image-credit="Katie Yu/The CW" data-image-alt-text="cwflashs5firstlookaltv2.jpg" data-image-credit-url="" data-image-target-url="" data-image-title="Grant Gustin, The Flash" data-image-filename="cwflashs5firstlookaltv2.jpg" data-image-date-created="2018/08/10" data-image-crop="" data-image-crop-gravity="" data-image-aspect-ratio="" data-image-height="1200" data-image-width="810" data-image-do-not-crop="" data-image-do-not-resize="" data-image-watermark="" data-lightbox="">
While these are all good things (we think?), the new suit has already created drama within the Flash fandom; earlier this week a poorly shot photo of Gustin in the new suit leaked, and the resulting backlash against it prompted Gustin to take to Instagram to post about the body-shaming he received in the aftermath.
Everything We Know About The Flash Season 5
"So here's the thing about this bulls-- photo leak," Gustin wrote in an Instagram post. "It's a cool suit. That's a terrible photo that I was unaware was being taken, much less being posted. Some things need work and they will be worked on. We'll get there. As far as the body shaming. That's what pisses me off. Not even just for my sake. I've had 20+ years of kids and adults telling me or my parents I was too thin. I've had my own journey of accepting it."
"There's a double standard where it's ok to talk s-- about a dudes body," he continued. "I do my best to stay in shape and add as much size as I can through out these seasons. I'm naturally thin, and my appetite is greatly affected by stress. Stress is something that ebbs and flows for me throughout a season. Thus, gaining weight is a challenge for me... I love the suit that has been designed for me, and I think when everyone sees it in its entirety, you will love it too."
As promised, now that we've seen it in its entirety, we're totally on board with this new look. You do you, Grant!
The Flash returns for Season 5 on Tuesday, Oct. 9 at 8/7c on The CW.

The World Bread Day is taking place today : October 16th 2012.
I want to thank again zorra from kochtopf Cooking site for organizing all these wonderful events and for hosting So many Breads from around the world in her site for all these years. It's the Best Bread Cookbook ever every year again.
These Rye Wreats are easy to make, have a nice shape and color and are crispy. Adding Lime rind (a tangy note) and nigella seeds was new to me. Fun to make and eat, try them !
Lime Rye Wreaths
The recipe is based (with some changes) on the Cookbook :
Exotic Desserts From The French Caribbean/1997 KONEMANN
Makes: 6 wreaths
זרי שיפון וליים
What you need:
250 g rye flour, sifted
125 g white flour, sifted
40 g fresh yeast
225 ml water
1.5- 2 ts salt
grated rind of 1 lime
handful nigella seeds
1. Preheat the oven to 430F (220c).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rye and white flour.
3. Add the yeast and water.
4. Knead for about 10-20 minutes. (yes, it's long time for incorporate a lot of air).
5. Add the salt and continue kneadind another 5 minutes.
6. Add the grated lime rind and mix just until it is incorporated.
7. Shape the dough into a ball, cover and let rise for one hour.
8. With a sharp knife divide the dough into 6 pieces.
9. Shape every piece of dough into long thin loave , about 38cm long (2 cm thickness).
10. Use scissors to snip alternating sides as shown.
11. Shape into wreaths, pinching the ends together.
12. Place on a baking sheet (greased and floured or covered with baking paper).
13. Brush the surface with water and spinkle with nigella seeds on top.
14. Bake 25-35 minutes (in the cookbook for 40 minutes, it's too much!) .
* Warp in a cloth and the Wreaths will stay fresh for a week.
The Wreats before baking:

Not Grinning, Not Dying
I think I must look like I'm smiling when I'm actually in a lot of pain. Like today, in the middle of a 15km (9.4mi) run, I'm barely keeping it together, so my face is a rictus of agony, my lips pulled back from my teeth in a skull-like grimace, and people running in the other direction are all, "Hi!" and big smiles and eyebrow jiggles. This has been going on for a while. At first I just assumed runners were naturally friendly. But there's some surprise in their reactions, so I think I must be grinning at them. They are definitely not picking up my real feeling, i.e. that I am moments away from death. If they were, they'd look a lot more concerned.
My Dad would have turned 70 today. He was some kind of runner. I only began running after he died, so I never appreciated this. Now I realize his 2:45 marathons are practically superhuman. I can maintain that pace for approximately 10 minutes, and that's while grinning.
I'm working on too many books again. Sorry about that. It's a fast way to finish none of them. In the meantime, though, I am drowning in foreign editions. I love getting foreign editions. I could never throw one away. So I have shelves of Portuguese Jennifer Governments and French Syrups. And now a Chinese Machine Man! This novel gets the most interesting covers:
The new Lexicon paperback is still selling well, which is great but doesn't quite free me from the constant terror of thinking my career could end at any minute. I've thought about the reasons behind this feeling, because it's been there essentially the entire time, and have concluded it's because when you're an author, your career really could end at any minute. Each year it doesn't is like a little miracle. I visit my Dad's cemetery on his birthday, just to say hello and talk about the last year, so that's what I'm going to tell him today: when I run, it looks like I'm smiling, and holy hell he was fast, and this last year, it has been another miracle.

The Los Angeles Galaxy, who had the best record in Major League Soccer, unsurprisingly dominate the MLS Best XI announced by the league on Tuesday afternoon.
The Supporters' Shield winners boast four players—winger Landon Donovan, center back Omar Gonzalez, striker Edson Buddle and MLS Goalkeeper of the Year Donovan Ricketts—on the list of the top 11 players, as voted by the media and their peers.
Donovan and Toronto FC midfielder Dwayne De Rosario are the only players on the list who have ever been named to the Best XI before.
Defending MLS Cup champions Real Salt Lake have the second most names on the list. Three RSL players—Visa Defender of the Year Jamison Olave, defender Nat Borchers and midfielder Javier Morales—were named to the Best XI.
The only member of the Best XI still playing is David Ferreira, the attacking leader of FC Dallas, who will take on the Colorado Rapids in MLS Cup (Sunday, Nov. 21, 8:30 pm ET, ESPN, Galavisión)
2010 MLS Best XI
- Donovan Ricketts, LA Galaxy: The Jamaican goalkeeper started 29 matches in 2010, posting a 18-7-4 record with 11 shutouts and a .90 goals-against average, good for third best in the league.
- Jámison Olave, Real Salt Lake: The big Colombian center back led the RSL defense to a new record for fewest goals scored in a season (20), and he added three goals at the other end.
- Nat Borchers, Real Salt Lake: The American missed only 27 minutes all season long. He also scored two goals, including a stoppage-time header to save a point against rivals Colorado.
- Omar Gonzalez, LA Galaxy: Last year's Rookie of the Year was even better in 2010, leading the league's second-stingiest defense (26 goals against). He also notched two goals.
- Landon Donovan, LA Galaxy: The US international led the league in assists (16) for the first time in his career. He also hit seven goals of his own. This is his fourth Best XI nod.
- David Ferreira, FC Dallas: The Colombian playmaker scored eight goals and dished out 13 assists, second-most in the league. Despite being the most fouled player in MLS, he played all but one minute of the regular season.
- Javier Morales, Real Salt Lake: The Argentine No. 10 had another balanced season, hitting seven goals and posting nine assists, leading the league's most prolific attack.
- Sebastien Le Toux, Philadelphia Union: A breakout season by the French attacker made the expansion side competitive from the start. Winner of the Fair Play Award, he finished with 14 goals and 11 assists, accounting for 71 percent of Philadelphia's scoring.
- Dwayne De Rosario, Toronto FC: Always dangerous, the Canadian international hit 15 goals for the Reds, including five match-winners. This is his fifth Best XI nod, tying him with Chris Armas and Jaime Moreno for most all-time.
- Chris Wondolowski, San Jose Earthquakes: The previously unheralded striker exploded for six goals in the final four games to take the Golden Boot with 18 total goals. Nine of them were game-winning goals, helping the Quakes reach the playoffs for the first time since reforming in 2008.
- Edson Buddle, LA Galaxy: The US international scored nine goals in the first six games, earning himself a spot on the World Cup team. He finished with 17 goals, good for second in the Golden Boot race.

Director's Corner
21 May 2009
Barry Barish
Learning accelerator science
Today I want to encourage young researchers interested in becoming accelerator scientists to consider applying to participate in our "Fourth International Accelerator School for Linear Colliders." It will be held from 7 to 18 September 2009 near Beijing, China, and the application deadline of 1 June is fast approaching. Our previous schools have been extremely successful, presenting unique opportunities to learn the basics of accelerator science from leaders in the field, and to study challenging applications for a next-generation linear collider. In addition, this year's school will include two tracks, one on radiofrequency (rf) technology and one on accelerator physics, offering more in-depth learning for returning and more advanced students.
|Bruno Touschek developed the first generation of electron-positron colliders at Frascati, Italy in the 1960s.
Particle accelerators have been the central tool of particle physics research for more than five decades, especially as new generations of machines have enabled us to open up and explore the energy frontier. Once again, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN will play this role in the very near future, and in the longer term we think that a follow-up lepton collider will be the next logical step.
The birth of modern particle physics essentially resulted from the transition from studying cosmic rays to cyclotron-based experiments following World War II. This was followed by new generations of ever more powerful cyclotrons, synchrotrons, etc. The next breakthrough came in the 1960s with the development of particle colliders that take advantage the far greater centre-of-mass energies that could be attained by colliding in the centre-of-mass system. For three generations of machines, we have made remarkable progress exploring the energy frontier of particle physics through complementary studies with proton-proton collisions and electron-positron collisions.
As we prepare to exploit the 1-TeV energy scale with the LHC, we are confronted with the likely need to build a companion collider for lepton collisions. Unfortunately, conventional circular colliders at such energies would radiate away too much energy due to the small rest mass of the electron. Therefore, we are driven toward developing a linear collider that uses electrons and positrons (for example ILC or the Compact Linear Collider Study, CLIC) or developing an even more exotic machine, a muon collider. These new machines present many challenges for accelerator science. These will be covered at our school.
It is worth noting that accelerator science is a very forward-looking area for a young scientist to pursue. Not only are accelerators so important for the future of particle physics, but they also play an increasingly important role in nuclear physics and in applications like material science, medical radiation treatments, pharmaceutical production, etc. For example, the new generation of light sources has a huge user community because of the broad applications for scientific research and for industrial applications. New techniques of acceleration and advancement of particle accelerators for the most part have come as a byproduct of accelerator R&D for particle physics accelerators. The ILC Global Design Effort (GDE) is a centre point of such research that pushes the state of the art for accelerators to new capabilities in superconducting rf acceleration, particle sources, beam optics, etc. Working on accelerator problems for the ILC will provide the ideas and technologies that will impact the future well beyond enabling a possible future particle accelerator.
Next September, our accelerator school will offer a ten-day programme, including an excursion and site trip. The academic programme will begin with introductory lectures on science of a linear collider and an introduction to the ILC (and I will give those lectures) and the next day an introduction to the alternative technologies for a lepton collider, CLIC and a muon collider. Following these introductory plenary lectures, the school will divide into two parts: either the accelerator physics course consisting of lectures on linacs, sources, beam delivery systems and beam-beam effects, and on damping rings; or the rf technology course consisting of lectures on room temperature rf, superconducting rf, and on low-level and high-level rf systems. The students will work problems and there will be a final examination.
I am looking forward to coming to China to personally participate in this fourth in our series of accelerator schools for linear colliders. Weiren Chou (who developed the curricula and has been instrumental in organising the school) and I encourage you to apply to the school and we both look forward to meeting you this September.

- No need to worry about DRBD failover and recovery times
- No need to worry about potential data loss when failover from active master to standby master (has all binlog really been replicated over from the failed master?)
- Writes go to any mysql server connected to the Cluster - thus writes are easy to scale
The data nodes will then send the committed writes to every mysql server with
- MySQL Cluster can handle a lot of writes (but the slaves can become the bottleneck)
- Data nodes can be added online (MySQL Cluster 7.0) - thus write scaling is easy and can be done on-demand
- Add new, consistent, slaves online (thanks to the online backup in MySQL Cluster)
- Simple and very fast master failover policy - all masters connected to the cluster will receive the same events, thus (when both are working) they will have the same content in the binary log - none is lagging behind.
- No additional hardware compared to a normal HA setup of the masters (two computers are enough)
Setting up MySQL Cluster
You need to have at least:
- 2 computers (HA with dual switches, nics and bonding, split brain only if both links are broken)
- dual switches, dual nics (bonded).
- each computer runs:
1 data node (ndbd/ndbmtd),
1 mysql server (master),
1 ndb_mgmd
- 4 computers (better HA and no risk for network partitioning/split brain)
- dual switches, dual nics (bonded).
- two computers each runs:
1 data node (ndbd/ndbmtd),
- two computers each runs:
1 mysql server (master), 1 ndb_mgmd.
With www.severalnines.com/config you can easily generate either of these setups, and have a running Cluster in a couple of minutes.
The idea here (just as in a normal HA MySQL setup) is to have two masters,
master_a and
master_b. The slaves will replicate from
master_a and failover to
master_b if
master_a fails!
Note that you can write to _all_ mysql servers, and the data nodes will send the changes to the mysql servers that has --log-bin enabled.
Preparation of Slaves
You must chose between 1) and 2) below, else the replication won't work:
1. Enable INDEMPOTENCY in my.cnf of the slaves using slave-exec-mode:
2. if you want to use STRICT (default), then you have to set on the master mysql servers (my.cnf):
Meaning that updates will be logged as updates, and not as writes.This downside with this is that twice as much as data will be sent (there is a before image and an after image for each update).
Each slave must have the table
mysql_slave> use mysql;
mysql_slave> CREATE TABLE `ndb_apply_status` (
`server_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
`epoch` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL,
`log_name` varchar(255) CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_bin NOT NULL,
`start_pos` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL,
`end_pos` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`server_id`) USING HASH)
ENGINE=INNODB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
This table is used to know what data has been applied on the slave and from which master (see below more a longer explanation).
Preparation of Masters (masterA, masterB)
Ensure you have the following in the my.cnf of the master mysql servers::
#if you didnt
set --slave-exec-mode=IDEMPOTENT on the slaves you must set:
#endif -- so pick one of the above!!
#enable cluster storage engine:
#connect to cluster:
ndb-connectstring=<hostname of ndb_mgmd:port>
#sync after each epoch (10 ms of transactions) - here is a disk tuning possibility.
#you may also want to set binlog_cache_size (if Binlog_cache_disk_use is growing):
GRANT the replication user, e.g,
Creating the tables
mysql>GRANT REPLICATION SLAVE ON *.* TO repl@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'
On MySQL Cluster

On each slave
Create all the tables for the application(s) using e.g
engine=MYISAM or
Staging a slave - with traffic on Cluster:
In order to get a consistent slave you have to do as follows:
Backup the Cluster
Using the management client:
ndb_mgm>start backup
Copy all the backup files to the same location.
If you use the Configurator scripts:
./start-backup.sh /path/mycentral_backupdir/
all backup files will be copied from the nodes to
Remember the
stopGCP=<some number> that is printed at the end of the backup.
If you use
ndb_mgm -e "start backup" then it will look like this:
ndb_mgm -e "start backup"If you use
Connected to Management Server at: localhost:1186
Waiting for completed, this may take several minutes
Node 3: Backup 14 started from node 1
Node 3: Backup 14 started from node 1 completed
StartGCP: 98278 StopGCP: 98281
#Records: 2058 #LogRecords: 0
Data: 51628 bytes Log: 0 bytes
./start-backup /tmp then it will look like this:
Backup has completed on data nodes.This is important as this tells where the backup ended, and from what point the slave should get the changes. This number will be used later when the replication is setup.
Copying backup files to /tmp//BACKUP-2009May09-150743

Backup completed and backup files can be found in /tmp//BACKUP-2009May09-150743
Use the StopGCP to setup Cluster to non-cluster replication:
StopGCP: 98482
Convert Cluster backup data files to CSV files
For each backup file (for each data node in the master cluster) run:
or if you are using the Configurator scripts:
ndb_restore -c <connectstring>
-b <backupid>
-n <nodeid>
--tab=<output directory>
This will create one txt file for each table and put it in
./restore-backup.sh --csv --backupdir=
/path/mycentral_backupdir/ --csvdir=/mycsv/
--csvdir (Configurator) or
--tab=<outputdir> for the vanilla ndb_restore.
It will also tell you (if you used start-backup.sh) the stop gcp:
Data is appended to the txt files, so running the command more than once is bad. Better delete the old txt files first.
./restore-backup.sh --csv
To setup replication use StopGCP: 1511
Loading the .txt (CSV) into Slave
For all tables:
mysql_slave> LOAD DATA INFILE 'tablename.TXT'
INTO table <tablename>
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n';
Now the slave is at the same state as the when the backup finished in the Cluster.
Staging a slave - no traffic on Cluster:
You can use mysqldump for this.
Then you copy the database_dump.sql and change the
host> mysqldump -u<user> -p<password> <database> > database_dump.sql
engine=ndb to
Then you have to find the good starting position from
host> sed -i -e 's#ndbcluster#innodb# database_dump.sql
Remember the binlog filename and position, you will need it in the next step.
master_a> show master status;
Starting the replication
Create and grant the replication user (not shown here)
If you have staged the slave using
mysqldump, then you go directly to
CHANGE MASTER.. using the BINLOG and POS from the previous step.
Find out where the slave should start replicating from using the
stopGCP from the previous step "Backup the Cluster".
if the query returns nothing (this means that no changes has happened on the cluster after the backup was completed) run:
mysql_masterA> SELECT @file:=SUBSTRING_INDEX(File, '/',-1),
FROM mysql.ndb_binlog_index
WHERE gci>@stopGCP ORDER BY gci ASC LIMIT 1;
Then change master
mysql_masterA> SHOW MASTER STATUS;
if above is ok:
mysql_slave> CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST='masterA',
mysql_slave> START SLAVE IO_THREAD;
## verify slave connected to masterA:
mysql_slave> SHOW SLAVE STATUS\g
Master Failover
mysql_slave> START SLAVE SQL_THREAD;
mysql_slave> SHOW SLAVE STATUS\g;
Failover from masterA to masterB
If the query returns nothing (meaning nothing has been written to the master since the failure of masterA) do:
mysql_slave> STOP SLAVE;
mysql_slave> SELECT @epoch:=max(epoch) FROM mysql.ndb_apply_status;
mysql_masterB> SELECT @file:=SUBSTRING_INDEX(File, '/', -1),
FROM mysql.ndb_binlog_index
WHERE epoch>@epoch ORDER BY epoch ASC LIMIT 1;
mysql_masterB> SHOW MASTER STATUS;
#use the position and file in the query below:
Then change master
Master crashes
mysql_slave> CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST='masterA',
mysql_slave> START SLAVE:
When the master restarts after a crash, it will write a
LOST_EVENTS event into its binary log.
If a
LOST_EVENTS event is received on a slave, the slave will stop, and you have to do a Master Failover.
Master connection glitch between data node and a master mysql server
If the master would lose contact for a very short period of time with the cluster, then a
LOST_EVENTS event will be written into the binary log. See above.
ndb_apply_status, epochs and ndb_binlog_index
mysql.ndb_apply_status is very important as it stores what epochs from the Cluster that the slave has applied.
The epochs are consistent units and stores 10ms (controlled by
TimeBetweenEpochs in config.ini) of committed transactions.
On the master side, the epochs are mapped to binary log filename and position in the
mysql.ndb_binlog_index table.
mysql.ndb_binlog_index table is a
MYISAM table is local to each master and is the glue between what epoch has been applied on the slave, and what binary log and position it corresponds to for the master.
Replication - you can use Enterprise Monitor or whatever monitoring tool you prefer to monitor the replication and the mysql servers. Scripts for automatic failover must be implemented.
Cluster - you can use cmon to monitor the data nodes and the other components connected to the Cluster. The web interface will soon look better :)
Possible Extensions
You can of course give the master mysql servers one virtual IP and use Hearbeat to failover the IP. This simplifies for the applications.
Bugs and Issues - TIMESTAMP
Be careful with TIMESTAMP. Currently the ndb_restore program does not generate the timestamp using the MySQL TIMESTAMP, but rather it is a UNIX_TIMESTAMP.
I have written a bug report on this. In the meantime, you have to convert the TIMESTAMP columns in the .txt files to the MySQL TIMESTAMP format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.
Please note that this is not a problem if you use
I will update this part if you find any other problems - just let me know.

For more than 30 years, Barbara Kafka has been telling people — in no uncertain terms — how to cook in the moment.
In every book, in every appearance, she urged American home cooks to be bold, fearless and confident. Even more, she championed trends. Not the ones that made food fashionable. The ones that made it healthier, better tasting and easier.
"She helped create, but also translate trends in food for everyone at home," says the Beard Foundation's executive vice president Mitchell Davis, referencing "Microwave Gourmet," Kafka's 1987 book that got Americans cooking everything from risotto to pudding in their microwaves. "She managed to speak to a lot of people about how to make really good food, how to make it simple, but without compromising in any way."
Along the way, Kafka wrote six cookbooks, all award winners or bestsellers, and in 2007 she won the James Beard Foundation's Lifetime Achievement award. She taught cooking with Beard himself, collaborated with Jacques Pepin, won the respect of Juila Child.
Now Kafka's seventh book, "The Intolerant Gourmet," makes her a pioneer again, propelling the 78-year-old into the gluten- and lactose-free territory usually dominated by 20- and 30-something bloggers and Tweeters.
It was a world she entered out of necessity. After years of dormancy, childhood food sensitivities to dairy and gluten (a wheat protein) resurfaced and forced her to rethink the way she ate.
While many books in this genre take the substitution approach — "Here's what I want to eat, how can I make it?" — Kafka did the opposite: she set out to make delicious foods that just happen to live within new parameters.
The result? Dishes like mussels with hen-of-the-woods mushrooms, West Indian curried hash, and tandoori chicken, foods that few would consider a hardship.
"She gives weight to these niches," says Corby Kummer, a senior editor at The Atlantic magazine and a longtime friend of Kafka's who pushed her to write the latest book after his stepdaughter was diagnosed as gluten-intolerant. "She carves out territory and then other people follow in her wake.No matter how many books come and go, hers are there."
Kafka was an unlikely cook. Born into a wealthy New York family, her father was in the perfume business, her mother was a well-known New Deal lawyer who had been among the first women to graduate from New York University's law school. Lillian Louise Poses — Kafka's mother — did not cook. Ever.
"It was almost irreligious for her, at that point in life, to cook," Kafka says. "I don't think she ever wanted to be in that niche of a woman."
Kafka trained her palate in places like Le Pavillon and Louis Diat's Ritz-Carlton, the legendary New York dining rooms her father would whisk her to when her mother was working. But she learned to handle a stove on her own, watching the family cook, a black woman named Rachel Wellman who'd been raised by the Salvation Army in Canada.
Despite its obvious appeal as an avenue of rebellion against her "poor mother," Kafka says, cooking was not her life's ambition. She wanted to be a poet. "It was more something that people would hire me to do," she says. "I wanted to be a writer. So I did it."
But surely cooking satisfied her creative instincts? "No," she snaps. "Food is not high art."
Not art? Not even the liquid popcorn and mock oysters of avant-garde cuisine, not even the carrot air and slinky-shaped olive oil candy of its creator Ferran Adria?
"I dislike him intensely," she says of the Spanish chef behind the now-closed restaurant elBulli. "It's not about the reality of food, which is gutsy and earthy and stomach-featured."
Too bad American modernist chef Wylie Dufresne didn't know that before they met. In a widely circulated Internet video, Kafka tries a piece of the Michelin-starred chef's "beet gel" — think fruit leather — then roasts him over his use of "chemicals," and argues with him in favor of traditional ingredients, such as sugar and the naturally occurring pectin in fruits.
"I thought because of stuff like the microwave cookbook, that she might actually be mildly curious or interested," Dufresne says, making clear that he respects Kafka. "I was caught a little off guard by it."
But he needn't have been. In these days when so much in the food world is precious, so much overblown, Kafka remains practical to her core. She's your no-nonsense grandmother.
"She's our conscience," says the Beard Foundation's Davis. He recalls a remark she made to him years ago, when he was just staring out. "I was a young and eager food person and she said 'You know, honey, you didn't invent food. It wasn't invented today.' She was right. It's really good to have that link because we so easily forget."
Kafka's dislike of Adria and his modernist ilk seems less tied to their food than to what that food represents. Kafka says the era of high-tech presentations, celebrity chefs and cooking as reality TV has disenfranchised the people who should be cooking: home cooks.
"They think they're inadequate," she says, "which isn't true. It's really very simple. One just has to relax and do it."
The "intolerant" Kafka concedes that she's "a difficult person in some ways." Even the famously genial Pepin — who adores her, remembering the way she brought Champagne to his hospital room during a long convalescence — admits that working with Kafka can be "challenging."
"She's always full of ideas and always wants to push the envelope a little bit," Pepin says. "But certainly she was very good at what she was doing."
But that brashness and bravado has served her well. A woman when there were no women in the kitchen, Kafka consulted at some of New York's top restaurants. Just 5 feet tall and a mere 100 pounds, she went toe-to-toe with profanity slinging chefs, and told off anyone who tried to carry a pot for her. And what is sometimes interpreted as crankiness, says Davis, actually is something much more valuable: honesty.
"She tells it like it is," he says. "When someone says 'This needs salt' or 'This guy's a schmuck,' that's refreshing. And it's also telling of her time. She pre-dates the world of the publicist and everyone's on TV and every word is Twittered and blogged."
Kafka even famously took on James Beard himself — a hulking, giant of a man — the first time they met. The food world newcomer argued so vigorously with Beard about the merits of kidney fat that he stormed out of the room. Eventually, he came back. And a long, professional relationship was born.
"She often enjoys getting her hackles up, but that's just the beginning of the collaboration," says The Atlantic's Kummer. "It's just the intensity of the engagement that interests her. It doesn't matter who's coming from where."

Minnesota-native T.J. Oshie became an Olympic hockey "hero" and instant hit following an impressive shootout performance for Team USA against Russia Saturday.
His Olympic fame grew so much that less than an hour after the game ended, shirts that read "Oshie Owns Sochi" were being sold online.
U.S. & World
By Sunday, more than 200 shirts, which are not authorized merchandise, had been sold, according to teespring.com.
The description for the shirt simply reads, "The man is owning Sochi right now."
Several other shirts have since sprouted about the shootout sensation.
From a shirt that reads "TJ Sochi 2014" to one that reads "O' Say Can Oshie!"
Oshie, a 27-year-old forward who plays in the National Hockey League for the St. Louis Blues, was coolly shouldering the Americans' hopes Saturday.
"It was a little nerve-racking, but I got through it," Oshie said after the shootout.
Oshie is not one of the American stars- he was one of the last players picked for the U.S. team and never has had a 20-goal season in the NHL. But he is what you'd call a shootout specialist- someone that when called upon, can take the enemy out with a single shot. He currently ranks second in the NHL this season with a 52.3 percent shootout scoring rate.
Oshie didn't appear comfortable with the "hero" title bestowed upon him after Saturday's matchup. He told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review's Dejan Kovacevic, that he does not view himself that way.
"The American heroes are wearing camo. That's not me," he reportedly said.
But his fans think differently. They took to social media to share their excitment about purchasing some Oshi gear following his highlight performance.

text: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 New in the Literature: No Significant Difference Between Surgery and Physical Therapy for Meniscal Tear and Knee Osteoarthritis (NEJM. 2013 Mar 19.) There were no significant differences in functional improvement after 6 months between patients who underwent surgery with postoperative physical therapy and those who received standardized physical therapy alone, say authors of an article published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The multicenter, randomized, controlled trial involved 351 symptomatic patients aged 45 years or older with a meniscal tear and evidence of mild-to-moderate osteoarthritis. Subjects randomly were assigned either to surgery and postoperative physical therapy or to a standardized physical therapy regimen (with the option to cross over to surgery at the discretion of the patient and surgeon). Patients were evaluated at 6 and 12 months, primarily using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) physical-function score (ranging from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms) 6 months after randomization. In the intention-to-treat analysis, the mean improvement in the WOMAC score after 6 months was 20.9 points (95% confidence interval [CI], 17.9 to 23.9) in the surgical group and 18.5% (95% CI, 15.6 to 21.5) in the physical therapy group (mean difference 2.4 points, 95% CI, -1.8 to 6.5). At 6 months, 51 active participants in the physical therapy alone group (30%) had crossed over to undergo surgery, and 9 patients in the surgery group (6%) had not undergone surgery. The results at 12 months were similar to those at 6 months, say the authors, and the frequency of adverse events did not differ significantly between the groups. The authors say their findings suggest that both options are "likely to result in considerable improvement … over a 6-12 month period." However, they continue that "these data provide considerable reassurance regarding an initial nonoperative strategy."

(levodopa - carbidopa)
How does this medication work? What will it do for me?
This is a combination product containing two medications: levodopa and carbidopa. It is used to treat Parkinson's disease.
Levodopa helps to control the symptoms of Parkinson's disease by correcting the chemical imbalance in the brain that produces symptoms. Levodopa can be used alone, but adding carbidopa lowers the amount of levodopa that is required and may reduce some of the side effects that are associated with levodopa, such as nausea and vomiting.
Although levodopa helps relieve symptoms of Parkinson's disease, it does not slow down the progression of the disease.
This medication may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of this medication may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of this medication may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.
Your doctor may have suggested this medication for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking this medication, speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor.
Do not give this medication to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take this medication if their doctor has not prescribed it.
How should I use this medication?
Treatment with levodopa - carbidopa should be started slowly and increased gradually to reduce the risk of side effects while gaining maximum benefit from the medication.
The recommended starting dose for people not already taking levodopa is 1 tablet, containing levodopa 100 mg and carbidopa 25 mg, 3 times a day. Your doctor will usually increase the dosage by 1 tablet daily every 3 days until the best results occur with the least amount of side effects. When the daily dose rises above 3 tablets daily, the dose should be divided into 4 to 6 daily doses. The maximum daily dose of levodopa is 1500 mg.
If you have already been taking levodopa and are starting levodopa - carbidopa, the dose will be much lower than the dose of levodopa taken as a single medction.
Many things can affect the dose of a medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.
The controlled release (CR tablets) form of this medication should be swallowed whole with fluids. Do not crush or chew the medication as this will destroy the time-release property of the medication.
It is important that this medication be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue on with your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice. If you miss more than one dose, check with your doctor.
Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
What form(s) does this medication come in?
This medication is available as a 25 mg tablet.
Who should NOT take this medication?
Do not take levodopa - carbidopa if you:
- are allergic to levodopa, carbidopa, or any ingredients of the medication
- cannot take sympathomimetic amines (e.g., epinephrine, norepinephrine)
- have active heart disease, blood related diseases, endocrine disease, liver disease, lung disease, or kidney disease
- have narrow-angle glaucoma
- have suspicious undiagnosed skin lesions or a history of melanoma
- have used an MAO inhibitor (e.g., phenelzine, tranylcypromine) within the past 2 weeks (MAO inhibitors should not be used within 2 weeks after taking levodopa - carbidopa)
What side effects are possible with this medication?
Many medications can cause side effects. A side effect is an unwanted response to a medication when it is taken in normal doses. Side effects can be mild or severe, temporary or permanent.
The side effects listed below are not experienced by everyone who takes this medication. If you are concerned about side effects, discuss the risks and benefits of this medication with your doctor.
The following side effects have been reported by at least 1% of people taking this medication. Many of these side effects can be managed, and some may go away on their own over time.
Contact your doctor if you experience these side effects and they are severe or bothersome. Your pharmacist may be able to advise you on managing side effects.
- change in colour of urine, saliva, or sweat
- diarrhea
- hair loss
- loss of appetite
- muscle twitching
- nausea
- nightmares
- slowed movement
- trouble sleeping
- vomiting
Although most of these side effects listed below don't happen very often, they could lead to serious problems if you do not check with your doctor or seek medical attention.
Check with your doctor as soon as possible if any of the following side effects occur:
Stop taking the medication and seek immediate medical attention if any of the following occur:
- signs of a serious allergic reaction (e.g., abdominal cramps, difficulty breathing, nausea and vomiting, or swelling of the face and throat)
Some people may experience side effects other than those listed. Check with your doctor if you notice any symptom that worries you while you are taking this medication.
Are there any other precautions or warnings for this medication?
Before you begin taking a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should take this medication.
Behaviour and Mood Changes: This medication has been known to cause mood swings, changes in behaviour and symptoms of depression. If you have depression or a history of depression, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed. You may notice compulsive behaviour, such as gambling, increased sexual activity or inappropriate spending. If you experience symptoms of depression such as poor concentration, changes in weight, changes in sleep, decreased interest in activities, contact your doctor as soon as possible. If you notice compulsive behaviour or signs of depression in a family member, ensure that they see their doctor.
Bleeding: Levodopa - carbidopa may cause a reduced number of platelets in the blood, which can make it difficult to stop cuts from bleeding. If you notice any signs of bleeding, such as frequent nosebleeds, unexplained bruising, or black and tarry stools, notify your doctor as soon as possible. Your doctor will order routine blood tests to make sure potential problems are caught early.
Depression: This medication has been known to cause mood swings and symptoms of depression. If you have depression or a history of depression, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed. If you experience symptoms of depression such as poor concentration, changes in weight, changes in sleep, decreased interest in activities, or notice them in a family member who is taking this medication contact your doctor as soon as possible.
Drowsiness/dizziness: Levodopa - carbidopa may cause drowsiness or dizziness. Avoid driving or operating machinery that requires alertness until you known how this medication affects you.
Glaucoma: This medication may cause symptoms of glaucoma to get worse by increasing the pressure inside the eye. If you have chronic wide-angle glaucoma, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
High-protein diet: Levodopa competes with certain amino acids for absorption into the body. As a result, the absorption of levodopa may be reduced in some patients on a high-protein diet. It is important to not change your diet dramatically when you are taking this medication, as this may change how well the medication works for you.
Heart disease: If you have heart disease (e.g., history of heart attack, arrhythmia), discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Infection: Levodopa - carbidopa has been reported to reduce the number of cells that fight infection in the body (white blood cells). If possible, avoid contact with people who have contagious infections. Tell your doctor immediately if you notice signs of an infection, such as fever or chills, severe diarrhea, shortness of breath, prolonged dizziness, headache, stiff neck, weight loss, or listlessness. Your doctor will do blood tests regularly to monitor the number of specific types of blood cells in your blood.
Melanoma: People with Parkinson's disease may be at increased risk of developing melanoma (a type of skin cancer). It is not known if this increased risk is due to Parkinson's disease or to the medications used to treat Parkinson's disease. Your doctor will monitor you for skin cancer while you are taking this medication. Talk to your doctor if you have any concerns.
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS): Very rarely, levodopa - carbidopa can cause a potentially fatal syndrome known as neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS). If you notice the symptoms of NMS such as high fever, muscle stiffness, confusion or loss of consciousness, sweating, racing or irregular heartbeat, or fainting, get immediate medical attention.
Peptic (stomach) ulcer: There is a possibility of stomach bleeding for people with a history of peptic ulcer who take levodopa - carbidopa. If you have peptic ulcers or a history of peptic ulcers, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed. If you notice bloody or black tarry stools, stomach pain, vomiting blood or material that looks like coffee grounds, contact your doctor immediately.
Physical activity: People whose symptoms improve while on therapy with levodopa - carbidopa should increase their physical activities gradually and with caution.
Seizures: If you have seizures or a history of seizures, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Sudden onset of sleep: There are reports of people who take levodopa - carbidopa combinations falling asleep with no warning or drowsiness. If you have a sleep disorder, discuss this with your doctor. If you experience drowsiness while taking this medication, avoid driving or using machinery.
Pregnancy: This medication should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while taking this medication, contact your doctor immediately.
Breast-feeding: Levodopa passes into breast milk. It is not known if carbidopa passes into breast milk. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are taking levodopa - carbidopa, it may affect your baby. Talk to your doctor about whether you should continue breast-feeding.
Children: The safety and effectiveness of levodopa - carbidopa have not been established for use by people under 18 years of age.
What other drugs could interact with this medication?
There may be an interaction between levodopa - carbidopa and any of the following:

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West is basically a whirlwind tour of everything thats popular in third-person action games these days. In fast succession, players encounter it all: platforming, melee combat, teamwork, vehicle and turret sequences, puzzles, stealth, shooting, and plot. This isnt the most innovative game on the market, and it doesnt do anything spectacularly well. But the developers made this entire smorgasbord of play styles flow into each other nicely, and virtually every aspect of Enslaved feels polished and competently constructed. More important, this title is just plain fun to play and hard to put down. In short, its definitely worth at least a playthrough.
The plot is a science-fiction take on the classic Chinese story Journey to the West, with some extra ideas cribbed from The World Without Us (a book by Alan Weisman, who envisions what Earth would be like without humanity and likes what he sees). As the game begins, its 150 years in the future. The protagonist, Monkey, is trapped on a spaceship as a slave when all hell breaks loose and the ship starts to crash. Monkey flees from his cell and makes his way to the ships escape pods. A fellow slave beats him to the last available pod, however, and Monkey clings to the outside as the pod ejects and plummets to the ground. It lands in New York City -- or what used to be New York, anyway. The skyscrapers are crumbling, and colorful, beautiful vegetation has grown around them. There are no people, and there are no hints as to what happened to cause this state of affairs.
Having miraculously survived the fall (his cartoonishly large muscles must have cushioned the blow), Monkey awakens from unconsciousness to find himself with Trip, the slave whod beat him to the escape pod. She informs him that she put a slave collar on him while he was out. This means two things: she can control his mind whenever she wants to; and if she dies, he dies. He has no choice but to help her survive. After some initial bickering, during which Monkey vows to kill Trip as soon as the collar comes off, they set off to find whats left of Trips old village, and the adventure begins.
Much of the gameplay time is spent simply traversing the terrain in an almost perfectly linear manner. Theres a fair amount of Uncharted-style platforming, but these sections exist more to occupy you than to challenge you. Monkey springs from one handhold, pole, or ledge to another with the simple push of a button, and hell refuse to jump if you try to leap in the wrong direction. Every once in a while, youll have to carry Trip through some hazards, or toss her to a ledge she cant reach on her own, or create a bridge for her to cross. The only way to die while platforming is by failing to jump quickly enough when something youre standing on starts to fall.
Fortunately, the exploration is broken up by battles against the lethal mechs that now inhabit New York. By combining a few simple mechanics in an interesting way, the developers made these fights feel unique, even though theres really nothing about them that hasnt been done before, and better.
Early in the game, Trip, whos a technical whiz, wires a dragonfly to act as a spy camera. Using the dragonfly, she checks out each group of mechs before you fight them. Most mechs are dormant to begin with, and the dragonfly clearly indicates how far each mech can see. Sometimes, theres room enough that you can sneak past the mechs without even battling them, giving Enslaved a small helping of stealth.
Most of the time, however, you have to fight. Your weapon of choice is your staff, which can be used both to strike your enemies with light and heavy attacks, and as a gun that shoots plasma and stun rays. You also have a shield and can evade attacks. The fights can feel like button-mashing sessions sometimes, and some control issues get in the way (the long animations make it difficult to time your button presses), but they do a decent job of blending mindless fun with some light strategy.

Yesterday I was talking about tiny houses with another tiny house aficionado when the topic of how do tiny houses intersect with the need in the future for more urban density. There have been several studies suggesting that in order to meet the needs of the future, more and more people are going to have to live in cities. The land around cities will also have to be shifted to agricultural spaces to support these cities with food that can be produced within a few hours travel time.
So what do tiny houses mean for this potential future? Tiny houses provide a living laboratory for people to try out different design ideas, utility systems, storage solutions, and learn lessons that can be taken and applied to small sustainable housing of the next evolution of the city. I have been asked many of times: "how do you think you'll get the same density with tiny houses as you do apartment buildings?" The simple answer is I'm not.
In a city setting essentially you could have same interiors, but the outside form would be one that is stack-able. Since you can't have side wall windows or a sky light, we are going to have to make the end walls floor to ceiling windows to get enough light in. We will need to design as part of the master plan, outdoor living spaces that people actually want to hang out in, with roof top gardens, building courtyards, local community gardens, and great parks.
In the suburbs and rural areas I'd expect to see more mini villages pop up in the form of co-housing projects. These villages would most likely allow people who want to live in the country do so, but also be the hubs for agricultural activities for themselves and the cities.
I struggle personally with the notion that we may be faced with living more and more in dense cities because I am one that likes room to roam, a quite place to sit and think and green space to be in. Here in Charlotte, while it is a very sizable city, I live on several acres. I have been fortunate enough to travel a good bit and even cities that have done a really good job with their parks and green spaces, I still find myself feeling smothered by tall buildings and concrete. Cities certainly offer a lot to do, but there is something deep inside of me that resonates with being outdoors in the woods. Something that I fear no high density city will be able to provide me with.
Your Turn!
- How do you see the future of housing?
- What will the cities and country look like for a sustainable future?

I simply love fashion and many things surrounding it, specially fashion sketches and illustrations! I really like browsing around looking for nice and inspiring fashion sketches. I think that fashion illustrations are extremely beautiful, elegant, delicate... they transmit a good vibe. I'm not sure why they enchant me this much, but I just can't get tired of fashion sketches. And this is exactly why I decided to put this selection together.
All of the images I will show here I found at deviantART, so click at the images to go to the author's page. They have lots of great stuff to show. And in case you also like this kind of subject, let me know and I will write more about it! Enjoy. =)

Today on the St. Croix River I went out with a buddy of mine to explore new contours and possible locations for Walleye spots anticipating the up and coming season.
We also wanted to do a little fishing for Jumbo Perch. The day started out a little rough, winds out of the north at 12 mph. Which can be a little choppy. I have a great Perch location on the river and with time and patience they will be there. Water temperatures sitting at 52.4 degrees, I think the water is warming nicely and this Walleye season should start out with a bang. We decided to anchor because of the chop in the water and the fishing was on with lots of different species. Many Perch but on the smaller side of what I normally see. The Perch usually run between 10 to 12 inches and today they ran from 6 to 10 inch. We didn't find the Jumbos, but 9 to 10 inch fish make some nice eaters, my buddy kept a few for his dinner.
The fishing kept us busy in 18 ft of water and we went on to catch a lot of White Bass, Bluegill's, 2 Sheephead, 2 Red Horse Suckers, a Walleye which was released back in the water and of course Perch. It was a fun day out and here are the Pictures of the Perch my buddy caught and kept.
Have a great fishing day !!!

The proposed modernization improvement plan is to renovate the interior of the building and seismically upgrade the structure. Seismic strengthening will include foundation improvements, new steel braced frames, a new concrete wall, plywood sheathing, glass replacement, new beams, and new anchors at the roof. The seismic work will trigger associated disabled access, code improvement, and environmental hazard mitigation work.
The construction will meet state (Title 24) and federal (Americans with Disabilities Act) guidelines. The access work for this library will consist of reconstructing an access ramp to the building, and making all public spaces, work areas, and amenities accessible. Existing restrooms will be renovated or relocated for accessibility. In addition, service counters and online catalog terminals will be made accessible. The anticipated building code impacts involve updating the building to comply with current life safety code requirements for exiting, heating, ventilation, plumbing electrical, lighting and other control systems.
Asbestos-containing materials (ACM's) such as plasterboard walls, pipe insulation, vinyl flooring, and roofing will need to be removed whenever impacted by the seismic, disabled access, or renovation work.
Significant impact on pipe insulation and flooring materials is expected from the installation of footings, chords and collectors, and shear walls. The removal of ACM's will require relocation of the building occupants to avoid potential health risks. Lead that is impacted will also be removed.
Modernization improvements involve the redesign and complete renovation of public spaces, staff work areas, and public amenities to better serve the modern needs of the library. The branch currently has a non-operational fireplace, the design of the interior should consider its possible removal or sealing. The chimney will be braced or removed. Other improvements include new flooring, new lighting, improved landscaping and irrigation and possible removal of fireplace. Work also includes upgrading or adding electrical/data outlets, and window replacement.
- The existing reinforced concrete shear wall at Northeast corner does not have sufficient flexural capacity for lateral loads. The top of the shear wall is unbraced.
- The roof diaphragm lacks adequate shear transfer connection to wall. It also lacks adequate connections at collectors, and chords at re-entrant corners.
- The concrete wall is not properly braced for out-of-plane forces.
Non-Structural Deficiencies
- Suspended ceilings at corridors and exits are not adequately braced or separated from structural walls.
- Lay in ceiling tiles in exits and corridors are not secured with clips.
- Glazing is not isolated to accept predicted interstory drift without shattering.
- For fire suppression piping, risers are anchored or braced but without flexible couplings to allow for building drift and floor movement due to building configuration or seismic separation.
- Shut off devices are not provided at building utility interfaces for gas, in the event of earthquake induced failure.
- It is unclear if the exterior veneers are properly anchored.
- Install additional clips, nails, connector plates and bolts for load transfers at collector, chords and diaphragm to concrete wall connections to complete the load path.
- Provide collector and chord transfer connections at re-entrant corners of the roof.
- Install new bracing at top of the concrete shear wall at he Northeast corner of the building.
- Provide new channel at chord for the concrete shear wall at the Northeast corner of the building. Enlarge concrete wall footing as needed for the new chord.
- Install positive ties from the roof diaphragms' vertical offset.
- Brace ceilings over public areas.
- Brace gas piping and fire suppression piping.
- Install shut-off devices for high-energy utility lines.
- Brace free- standing book stacks.
- Current ramp does not meet accessibility code requirements.
- Entry and exit doors do not meet access requirements.
- Work areas are not accessible.
- Public restrooms are not accessible.
- Some public amenities are not accessible.
- Make site path of travel improvements, including reconstruction of existing ramp.
- Add exterior safety railings as required.
- Make all entries and exits fully accessible, including new hardware or door width modifications.
- Make all counters and work areas accessible.
- Reconfigure or relocate restrooms, and other public amenities to make them accessible.
- Boiler, Air Ducts and HVAC equipment were upgraded in the past two (2) years.
- None required.
- Main electrical panel is in poor condition and will need to be replaced.
- Electrical power and distribution system will have to be replaced or upgraded.
- Lighting throughout the building is outdated and in need of replacement.
- Power and data line outlets are not sufficient to respond to a new flexible layout.
- Replace existing electrical panel and power distribution system.
- Replace lighting throughout the building with energy efficient lighting.
- Add power and data line outlets to conform with a new layout.
- It is expected that the introduction of a new electrical power panel and distribution system will necessitate the replacement of all life/safety electrical equipment such as emergency lighting, exit signs, smoke alarms, and smoke detectors.
- It is anticipated that the introduction of a new electrical distribution system will necessitate the replacement of all electrical security equipment such as security alarms and security lighting.
- Security grilles will be needed to prevent vandalism or theft.
- Replace or add emergency lighting, exit signs, smoke alarms, and smoke detectors.
- Add fire extinguishers and fire sprinkler system as required by code.
- Replace interior and exterior security lighting.
- Provide a central security alarm system.
- Provide security grilles consistent with the building's design and character.
- Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM's) are identified in wall and ceiling sheetrock joint compound, baseboard glue, vinyl floor tiles and mastics, wall/floor mastic behind cork tiles, window caulking and glazing putty, built up roof, stucco, cement-asbestos board in floor.
- Where impacted by construction, abate asbestos in wall and ceiling sheetrock joint compound, baseboard glue, vinyl floor tiles and mastics, wall/floor mastic behind cork tiles, window caulking and glazing putty, built up roof, stucco, cement-asbestos board in floor.
- Abate asbestos if found in the hot water piping and fitting insulation.
- Lead that is impacted by construction shall also be abated.
- Exterior finishes need repair but are generally in good condition.
- Windows do not operate to allow for natural cross ventilation.
- Lockers do not operate properly.
- Fireplace is not functional.
- Re-point exterior brick finishes, and repair exterior roofing fascia board.
- Redesign or modify exterior glazing to minimize vandalism and provide south-face shading.
- Make windows operable as necessary for proper natural ventilation.
- Make rear yard gate operable as an emergency exit.
- Replace floor, wall, and ceiling finishes as necessary to work with a new architectural layout.
- Rec./Park land surrounds the Library, leading to potential jurisdictional maintenance issues.
- Vegetation and landscape improvements are in need of required maintenance.
- Provide a sprinkler system for Library vegetation.
- Improve existing landscaping.
