#PgEast update, trainings, roundtables and NYC -- Oh my
Mastering PostgreSQL Administration and Surviving Server Overload are both registering at record pace (in fact if you want to take these classes you better register now). The Pro PostgreSQL and Streaming replication classes are also doing respectably. All four of these classes are being given by well know PostgreSQL Contributors, Bruce Momjian, Greg Smith, Robert Treat and Magnus Hagander respectively.
We have also announced a round table at East specifically geared toward a very real problem in the current market, Databases in the Cloud. I am looking forward to this round table as it features and eclectic mix of expert practitioners from Cirrus, to 10Gen, Heroku and Open Hosting.
When we decided to change the training format for #PgEast we weren't sure what to expect. We have done a few trainings in the past, specifically at the last #PgEast and they were reasonably successful. We took a shot this year and pushed the envelope on the number of trainings we were going to provide and with all risks there are some possibilities that not all things will work out. Thus, due to low registration for the class, Django. Although the Rails class is doing just fine. While considering why the registration was low, I don't think it was that it was Django. I think that it was a general Django + PostgreSQL class. If the class has been something like, Scaling your application with Django + PostgreSQL it would have been more attractive.

A string of victories would lead to a victorious strike on a Kilrathi starbase at the end of the game, and continuing losses would end with the Tiger's Claw running for her life out of the battle zone. "I just thought it was very important…[that] you felt like your actions had some impact on the story. You weren't just on a predetermined path that was only one way," Roberts said. "It wasn't about a high score. It was completely about how you played and flew would affect the storyline, and my theory was that would give you a natural level of immersion into the world."

Lousy Monday
It's Lundi de Pentecôte (Whit Monday) today but I'm at work. After over 130 years, or so I heard, of counting it as holiday on their already long list, the French government decided to cancel it down and consider it as Journée de Solidarité pour les Personnes Agées, meaning, we work but won't be paid. All the profits will be given to the benefit of the oldies. This measure was conceived after the summer heat wave hit the whole hexagon 2 years ago. But hey, where are the rest of my colleagues?? Strike na naman?
Baby Update
I had my first official ultrasound last week. It was overwhelming, the little hands, the tiny feet, the heartbeat....there's life in there and I saw it with my two teary eyes. He was actually the snob type, he generously showed us his back and slept the whole ultrasound session. Even the movement done by the doctor didn't wake him up. I guess he was tired with his UK vacation too hehe.
Some UK Photos
I've been browsing our UK photos and memories just flowed back in. Surprisingly, after being bitter, our photos just showed otherwise.
Here I am trying my shopping prowess in the Nottingham Market à la tiangge hehe, and flaunting this same jupe infront of the King's College in Cambridge. Hmm, cool!
Here is where we spend our siesta time, at the Hyde Park. London could pride itself with its green and spacious parks where one could easily forget city chaos.
In Wales, we arrived in this little bar and were surprised that nobody was inside. So we had the whole bar just for us. Erm, is it true that when a woman is pregnant, her husband follows the same process of...gaining weight? Are we on competition now?
On to our vagabonding escapades, we luckily saw this steam-engined train. Wow, still functionning impeccably! Yep, functionning! It's not in a museum!
And this Abbey ruins...
I've written on my previous entry that i was quite disappointed with what UK could offer at an exorbitant price. In terms of landscape, I guess the main difference is that, they have hills populated by thousand of sheeps (top photo), in France, we have cows!
Entretien de Carrière
I haven't passed my annual interview with my big boss (darn, I hope my salary increase will still see its daylight, have you heard about buntis discrimination?), and tomorrow, susmaryosep, the HR Director wants to see me. Ayun, I frantically searched my one-page CV from my lumang baul and updated it at once. Bless his eyes, I hope he's using our very own products to see what's written on my CV, I shrank my 6-year university life and 4.5-year career life to fit in a page!
Just wondering why he wanted to see me. Frenchguy told me he just met this guy once, and he requested for a meeting several times before he was granted. Heck, this guy just sent an email to me and voila, he's got a rendez-vous with me at once. Not fair hehe. Anyways, after choosing my best formal gear (oppps, frenchguy warned me not to be on jeans hehe) and updating my CV, I'll be off for tomorrow.

Any natural response for me in tackling the title of that article is to comment: When asking if true love is actually, there must be an opposite of what is true and that might possibly be something false. Love means different things to many people. Nevertheless you can research various meanings of the word love, most people will define it various ways.
I believe a proper definition of what love is should be identified, so that it can be than the love you are receiving (or the love you think you will be receiving) and you can decide in the event that their is such a issue as true love.
Making love has nothing regarding being loved. People neglect this word some much, no wonder it has many meanings. You do not have to like or be in love by means of someone to have a sexual romance. How unfortunate that a lot of women will think because they sleep with a man, he's going to love you for the points you do to him, that is more like infatuation or lust.
I could usually give a biblical reference for an example of what love it, especially many readers who do not believe in God or all the bible, this will more than likely prove nothing to them. Nonetheless, that would be a great start and reference point. I will not attempt to prove the presence of true love, but in the event you look hard enough you will realize it in our society.
Successful marriages and committed family relationships do exist. Although, statistically, 50% of first time partnerships end in divorce, you infrequently hear of the remaining 50% that survive. There are many lovers in a loving relationship, who get in touch with each other, know each other, count on to needs of each several other.
Men and women will seek out love in many different communal gatherings and even go online to dating and match producing sites searching for true love. Producing that love connection appears to be what singles are after.
Although do not believe you can find absolutely adore in cyberspace, there are many dating sites designed to prove that wrong. No-one wants to be alone and, who wants to settle for someone who not care about you.
Absolutely adore is commonly used in noun form by saying "I Like You". Saying "I absolutely adore you" a thousand times establishes nothing if the one tender you wont talk to you, is harsh non looking after, emotionally cold and turned off. Love is an action message and love is not an emotion you can force some others to feel, it comes about.
These loving partners are dedicated mothers and fathers. Certainly, I believe that true love can exist in times this way and does exist. This emotional attachment and bond felt towards the object with the affection is not predicated at looks, body type, bank account nevertheless ifs far deeper the fact that what you see on the surface.
Love will not run off and leave you, it will not endanger you, it will not embarrass and also insult you. Love will forgive you, be patient with you, protect you and provide to suit your needs because you are apart for the one loving you, Wow Love Does Exist!

It wasn't raining when we untied the boats this morning but there was rain further up the Thames in Gloustershire which meant there was a strong flow, Sue dug our life jackets out of the bottom of the cupboard. Just on tick over FL was cutting through the water like a jetski, slaloming around Ait's & Islands to Shiplake Lock where we got rid of the dumpables.
At Marsh lock we found the river on red boards, (still no lock keepers seen today) too dangerous to continue any further we sped across the choppy white water coming from the weir, turned the boats around to face up stream and moored at Henley park.
We all had a walk into town for a few bits & pieces and stopped off in the garden overlooking the river of the Angel Hotel for refreshments.

This mug was thrown on the wheel by Meredith at Fern Street Pottery. The mug was thrown with a warm red/tan stoneware clay, then flat trimmed, and each mug pattern is hand carved (expect variation- thats the best part!), the fingerloop handle is hand "pulled" and added. After drying and firing I glazed it in a speckled white glaze (did you know white glaze is all the rage in handmade pottery!?) allowing the rich red clay to show through and accentuate the edges of the carved texture. Travel mugs hold about 14-16 fluid oz (tall latté to go!). They are lead free, microwave and dishwasher safe.
This purchase is for ONE mug, but more may be available. They are made one at a time so no two are exactly alike, but they are very well matched. Expect some slight variation in the hand-carved pattern. Lead-free glaze, dishwasher and microwave safe. Reduce, reuse, recycle! Save the planet: buy pottery!
No two are exactly alike as they are handcrafted one at a time. The bottom diameter is approximately 2.5 inches. please measure your cup holder to be sure it will fit. (Mugs without lids may be slightly larger. If you are looking for a big mug, this is the mug for you)
Lids are available at your request. Mugs purchased without lids may be slightly larger, so order a lid at that time of your purchase if you want one. I personally drive without a lid.
Check my listings or contact me for matching coffee pour overs, bowls, salt wells, oil cruets, pitchers....
Coffee Pour over in matching Speckled White glaze, Matching Cream and sugar set also available, Vases and bud vases also available
Items will be shipped promptly after payment is made.
Shipping is automatically calculated and added at checkout based on your zip code, the weight and size of the package. This costs you LESS than if I were to add "free" shipping as a blanket cost. Shipping is not one size fits all, and I make every effort to keep costs low. If I am able to combine multiple items into one package I will happily refund any shipping charges that are over-estimated.
Pottery will be shipped within 1-3 days (usually 1-2 days) via USPS. I choose Priority shipping as the cost includes up to $50 insurance (check with your carrier to be sure of current policy)
I use new boxes made from recycled materials. I wrap very carefully with clean, recycled air bubble bags for light weight shipping. Packages have a professional label presentation, with tissue inside, ready to be opened as a gift.
Request a cancellation within: 24 hours of purchase
But please contact me if you have any problems with your order.
*Items are all hand made, they are well matched and represented, but as each one is unique, there may be minor, subtle differences in size, shape, or glaze color that are a natural and desirable part of hand made pottery and not to be considered irregular.
*Custom Orders and "Made to Order" items are not eligible for return or exchange.
*Please contact me via message about any return due to damage during shipping, please include a photo for insurance documentation.
*if any items are damaged in shipping buyer must report to seller, and include a photo within ten (10) days of receiving goods.
*Items returned or exchanged must be in original packing material and in original condition, and with previously agreed upon conditions with seller.
*Postage is not refundable.
If you would like to send this as a gift simply list the name and address you are shipping to, and message me with any note you would like me to include on the card, please include the name(s) you would like me to sign it from!
(No additional charge, of course!)

text: How Can I Improve My Indoor Air Quality? Posted February 11, 2016 Stagnant air inside your home could be harmful. The EPA has conducted studies and those studies came to the conclusion that your home's air can be anywhere from 2 to 5 times more polluted than the air in metropolitan cities. It would be nice if every day was the kind of day where you could open the windows and let in some fresh air, but living in Bakersfield you know that's not usually an option. For those days when the weather doesn't allow you to open the windows, the team at Hillcrest Air Conditioning & Plumbing has some tips to enhance your indoor air quality and foster a healthier indoor environment. Keep Clean If you haven't already, consider investing in a vacuum with a HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Arrestance) filter, strong suction and also rotating brushes. You'd be surprised at the improvement a quality vacuum can make on your home's indoor air quality. Using a quality vacuum each week will work to battle allergens and dust that collects in your carpets and furniture. Of course your vacuum can't pick up everything, but it's a great place to start. If anyone in your home is suffering from allergies or other respiratory problems you may want to consider a PureAir™ Air Purification System. The PureAir™ is a whole-home solution for improving your indoor air quality. It eradicates all three types of pollutants which are: airborne particles, germs and bacteria along with chemical odors and vapors. These are the pollutants known to aggravate those of us with asthma and allergies. Get Help from Mother Nature Let mother nature lend you a hand and purify your air in a natural way. As we all learned in science class, plants consume carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Not only that, but plants can also combat harmful toxins found inside your home such as: formaldehyde, trichloroethylene and benzene. If you'd like add some plants to fight your pollutants, read the Clean Air Study conducted by NASA. The study identified the optimal plants for such an important task. If you have any furry friends, double-check and make sure any plants you introduce to your home are not harmful if your pets decide to conduct a taste test. Ventilate Your Home In order to make homes more energy-efficient, today's homes are being built to keep the outdoor air outside. While this is incredible for energy-efficiency, the absence of ventilation can generate a buildup of pollutants inside your home. As we mentioned previously, opening windows isn't always an option, we offer many ventilation solutions to boost your indoor air quality and keep your indoor air feeling fresh. Your home's comfort and indoor air quality is important to the team at Hillcrest Air Conditioning & Plumbing in Bakersfield. Our team works with you to help you breathe healthy and breathe easy. If you're ready for some fresher air give us a call at 661-437-3499 and speak with our indoor air quality professionals. Back To Blog

There are three main types of cannabis strains in the market. These are sativa, indicas and hybrids. It is important to know the kind of effects the strains have before selecting any medical marijuana to alleviate pain.
Before you continue reading, keep in mind that there is still debate on the accuracy of these classifications. Below is a general overview of the groups and what they mean for cannabis patients.
You can identify plants classified as indicas through their physical characteristics. The plants are usually, short, stocky and have broad leaves. In dispensaries, the indica marijuana strains are described to be more sedative, physically relaxing and provide a numbing effect.
Most indica Medical Marijuana strains have a higher amount of myrcene. Myrcene is a molecule that makes the plants smell like dried mango fruit. The more the amount of myrcene a plant has, the more potent and drowsy the strain is bound to be.
Generally, indica strains are recommended for alleviating physical stress, anxiety, muscle spasms, muscle tension, lack of appetite, and chronic pain. For insomnia, the marijuana has to be taken in low doses.
Plants classified as sativas usually exhibit slow growth patterns. The plants also grow tall and have narrow leaves. In dispensaries, sativa strains are thought to make a person feel energetic, similar to what drinking a cup of black coffee or tea does.
Some sativa strains have higher amount of a cannabinoid compound known as tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV). This compound is thought to be the reason why the strains have a stimulating effect. Sativas also have a lower amount of myrcene, which is why they have a lower sedation effect than indica strains.
Sativa marijuana strains can be used to provide daytime relief, improve focus and concentration, and prevent depressions. Other uses of the strains are for alleviating moderate pain, migraine and headaches, and chronic fatigue.
Majority of medical marijuana strains in the market are classified as hybrids. These strains may either have a higher amount of sativa or indica. The strains may also have these two strains in a balanced ration.
You should research well to know the effects that a hybrid strain is likely to provide before smoking or vaping it. To know how much sedation a hybrid strain is likely to have, check the level of myrcene it has.
The above are the three main types of cannabis strains you should know about. Get more about cannabis at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_indica.

"I know, don't ask me how, that I will be the greatest King of all."
King Charles III is a modern Shakespearian classic - a play in five acts, beautifully written in a combination of blank verse and prose, and featuring all the drama, comedy, intrigue and political machinations one might expect from the bard.
It takes place in an imagined future, immediately after the funeral of the Queen, and explores the nature of ambition, democracy and the rôle of our monarchy.
First performed at the Almeida Theatre in 2014 with Tim Pigott-Smith in the title rôle, it won Critics' Circle and Olivier awards for Best New Play. It transferred to the West End's Wyndham Theatre and was adapted for the BBC in 2017.

I love to read and chat about books. I'm always honest in my reviews and I enjoy hearing varied opinions and different point of views.
Not quite as good as the first but I still had fun with Boone. He was as snarky and sarcastic as ever. Nothing really turned me off, but I think this book could have been cut to about half it's length. There wasn't really anything new or exciting going on. I loved Boone and the journey he took with Wade. Boone finally was able to move beyond his fears and feel secure with his relationship with Wade (well, as secure as Boone can be). Boone had me smiling with every witty comeback line, his never ending motor mouth, and his total acceptance of his slutty ways.
