In celebration of the 24th anniversary of the launch of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope (on April 24, 1990) astronomers have taken an infrared-light portrait of a roiling region of starbirth located 6,400 light-years away.
The Hubble mosaic unveils a collection of carved knots of gas and dust in a small portion of the Monkey Head Nebula (also known as NGC 2174 and Sharpless Sh2-252). The nebula is a star-forming region that hosts dusky dust clouds silhouetted against glowing gas.
Massive, newly formed stars near the center of the nebula (and toward the right in this image) are blasting away at dust within the nebula. Ultraviolet light from these bright stars helps carve the dust into giant pillars. The nebula is mostly composed of hydrogen gas, which becomes ionized by the ultraviolet radiation.
As the interstellar dust particles are warmed from the radiation from the stars in the center of the nebula, they heat up and begin to glow at infrared wavelengths.
The image demonstrates Hubble's powerful infrared vision and offers a tantalizing hint of what scientists can expect from the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope.
Observations of NGC 2174 were taken in February 2014.

Pastor Chris' sermon, "Resistance is Futile", from the October 21, 2012 services, is now available on Vimeo.
We understand the congregation to be part of the body of Christ, the people of God. We come together for worship, learning, and service, but we also support each other down all of life's roads. This includes caring ministries such as pastoral care, baby bibs for new parents, prayer shawls and bears to comfort those in distress, and loving support through providing meals and transportation to those in need. We care for the community through our Samaritan Fund and the active participation in the Plainfield Ministerial Association, the Plainfield Interfaith Food Pantry, and the Ridgewood United Community Food Pantry, as well as numerous other missional projects.
We seek to create a beloved community in the midst of life's busy-ness. While carrying out our mission and practicing ministry, we hope to nurture and support each other, love our neighbors, and walk humbly with God.

Mobility exploded onto the business scene during the past decade and, needless to say, is here to stay. Now, important and sensitive tasks are as likely to be performed on smartphones, tablets and other non-PC devices as on big machines sitting on office desks.
Security has been a bit of a game of catch up. It is complicated by a couple of ongoing challenges: Like diet and exercise, people (and the companies for which they work) pay lip service to good security practice, but usually skimp, forget or get lazy. On top of that, the emergence of bring-your-own-device (BYOD) approaches complicated things significantly.
But great progress has been made. SNS Research reported in September that the investment in mobile device and network security in 2013 alone will be $9 billion. This slideshow covers some of the latest techniques and approaches to bolstering mobile data security.

EAST MIDDLEBURY — Serena Eddy Moulton has fond memories of frolicking with other children in the huge yard at the Middlebury Cooperative Nursery School (MCNS) off East Main Street.
She would return to the MCNS in East Middlebury a few decades later as an adult to make some new memories, tending to the yard in which she once played while watching her own children learn and recreate there.
"One of the things that I loved most is you could invest time in the school in exchange for a reduction in tuition," said Eddy Moulton, who served a stint as "director of maintenance" at the parent-run MCNS. "It was a completely worthwhile investment."
Parents made such investments in the MCNS for more than 75 years, making it one of the longest running cooperative nursery schools in the state.

MIDDLEBURY — A change in a tax on Vermont hospitals included in Gov. James Douglas' fiscal year 2009 budget proposal could result in a $550,000 hit to Porter Hospital.
As a result of the tax change in the Douglas budget released last week Vermont hospitals fear they will have to raise fees and they won't be able to fund care for low-income Vermonters or a statewide effort to use electronic medical records more widely.
The health care provider tax is collected by the state of Vermont, which in recent years paid an equivalent amount back to hospitals in federal Medicaid money. That repayment was based the need of the community that the hospital served. But there is a limit to the Medicaid match, and in 2009 the health care provider tax would exceed that limit by $16 million.
For a number of years, the state of Vermont has set the health care provider tax rate no higher than the amount that could be paid back to hospitals in Medicaid, according to Mike Del Trecco, vice president of finances for the Vermont Association of Hospital and Health Systems (VAHHS).
"If (hospitals around the state) have $70 million in taxes, the state has always promised to pay back at least $70 million," he said.
However, the Douglas administration's proposed budget for the 2009 fiscal year sets the provider tax at the maximum level of 5.5 percent of total revenue, Del Trecco said, which is projected to raise $71,176,974. With the maximum allowed reimbursement of $55,176,974, that leaves hospitals left making up $16 million.
The VAHHS is requesting that the rate be reduced to 3 percent.

MONTPELIER — State Rep. Michael Fisher, D-Lincoln, on Tuesday filed legislation challenging the federal government's ongoing authority to call up National Guard troops to serve in Iraq, while urging Gov. James Douglas to bring home Vermont Guard soldiers now serving in that part of the Middle East.
Fisher discussed his bill with the Addison Independent on Monday and reiterated his plans at a news conference in Montpelier on Tuesday. Surrounded by Senate President Pro Tem Peter Shumlin, D-Putney, and a dozen other lawmakers, Fisher argued that the 2002 federal authorization to call up the state National Guard had expired.
He added he believes the authority granted by the Congress to use military force was based on two specific purposes: to defend the national security based on a perceived threat from Iraq; and to enforce relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions against Iraq.
Fisher argued that Iraq no longer poses a direct threat to the U.S., given the fact that Saddam Hussein is now out of the picture and a new government has been elected. He added the changed conditions in Iraq mean that enforcing U.N. Security Council resolutions has now become a moot point.
"Congress gave the authority in 2002 for a specific mission in Iraq," Fisher said. "That mission does not exist today."
All of this means that Congress must authorize a new mission in order to legally keep National Guard troops in Iraq, or control of those Guard troops must revert back to state control, according to Fisher.
Since Fisher believes control has legally reverted back to the state, he is calling upon Douglas, in his role as chief of the Vermont National Guard, to "take all necessary steps" to bring Vermont Guard troops back from Iraq.

On Oct. 4, 2000, I had triple bypass. The surgery went well; I was dismissed from the hospital. After several weeks at home I developed a staph infection.
Once I returned home, our parish nurse visited on a regular basis. One morning in late October about 4 a.m., I was awakened by a cold wet feeling on my chest.
The bypass incision had ruptured. Shirley, my wife, called Cheryl Fleming our parish nurse at First Presbyterian Church in Belmont.
Cheryl arrived, checked the incision and said without hesitation, � You have an infection; we�re going to the hospital.�
Upon arriving at the hospital, Dr. Dyke, my heart surgeon examined me and confirmed what Cheryl had said.
I was admitted to the hospital and within an hour, two doctors were drawing fluid from my lungs which were full of fluid.
Once the procedure was completed, the doctors had filled two, 2 liters contains with fluid from my lungs.
For the next four days, I had IVs in my arms; the nurses were giving me medication by mouth around the clock.
After being admitted on Wednesday, I was finally dismissed on Saturday.
But, not before a �Pick Line� was inserted under my left arm and a tube ran to the area of the incision.
For seven long weeks, three times a day, our parish nurse Cheryl and my wife Shirley administered three IVs a day � 6 a.m., 2 p.m. and the finally IV of the day at 10 p.m.
The final IV was administered at 6 a.m. on Christmas Eve, 2000. Shirley immediately took the IV container tied a red ribbon on it and placed it on the Christmas tree in our den.
And this year, like the past 11, the IV container will again be placed on our Christmas tree.
After three months, the doctor dismissed me and I was able to return to work.
So this Thanksgiving, I look back 12 years ago when I was so sick and give thanks to God first of all for healing my body and giving me my health.
Second for my family, church, friends and the hundreds of God-fearing people who prayed daily for my recovery during that crucial time in my life.
- Steve Rankin - McAdenville
The Cross in the Cornerstone Christian Center Chapel � NO ART
I am thankful for my wife, parents, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and all of my family and friends.
I am thankful that I work with a group of people who provide others with hope and make a difference every day.
I am thankful for my life and the many blessings that God has given me throughout my life, but I am most thankful to know where I am going when this life is over.
Peace and blessings to everyone at Thanksgiving.
- Doug Lance
Thankful for everything
I am thankful every day for just waking up, the ability to dress myself, feed myself and go somewhere.
We all take that for granted!
Sometimes, my day starts very early on the road and I have the joy of watching the sunrise.
On a long travel day, I also am privileged to see the sunset on my way back home.
I am married to a man who loves God with all of his heart. Imagine how much love he gives to me, our children and grandchildren. He is a wonderful pastor of the most wonderful church anywhere � ever!
He is the shepherd and senior pastor at Fraley Memorial Baptist Church, a loving and accepting flock who opens their arms weekly to new faces and makes them feel the love of God with no strings attached.
I am blessed to do what I do as my livelihood - encourage, motivate and bring laughter to the faces of those in my audience. The simple things in life bring me so much pleasure - birds, chipmunks, squirrels and rabbits in the backyard.
A precious home where there is peace, laughter, joy and love every single day. Nothing I have ever done can merit all of these blessings and I am so very thankful. God is so good.
- Glenda Doles of Gastonia
It is the children at the altar.
I am thankful for Epic Church in Lowell.
It is a beautiful thing to be at a church that can get young people involved. To see youth worship is very awe inspiring. Pastor Chad Collins and his wife April are very active in the community and even taxi children to Epic's events in their personal cars every single week sometimes not getting back home until 10 p.m.
Both work outside jobs from the church but that doesn't take away from the time spent spreading the word.
- Matt and Amber King
This year I have new love, a new home, a new and stronger relationship with my sons and a new appreciation for the brilliant panoply of friends I've acquired since moving here almost nine years ago.
There will be 15 people at our home for Thanksgiving, a mixture of dear friends and family, and my heart is full.
-J. Scott Wilson
I'm thankful for my church family at Maranatha Baptist Church in Dallas. They love God and love people and are always there to help when needed. I just love them all.
Regina Pressley
Thankful for church, son, job
I am thankful and ever so grateful for my life and health as well as for my son�s life and his health.
I am so thankful for my son who I see growing into a wonderful young man, with him being a senior at North Gaston High School.
I just have to say, thank you God each and everyday of my life for providing for us. I am not only thankful but I am blessed because life is good and I continuously pray for each and everyone because I realize some people are struggling and in need of assistance.
I want to be able to assist people in anyway that I can because I know how good God is and that is what I do on a daily basis as a social worker at Kindred Nursing and Rehabilitation of Lincoln in Lincolnton.
I assist people in anyway that I can, therefore, I am thankful for my job to be able to help others, and I am thankful for my fellow co-workers and pray each day for them.
I am thankful for the parents that I had because they made me into the woman that I am today. I am thankful for all my family members and friends. I am thankful for my church family at Mount Olive Baptist Church in Kings Mountain where Pastor Charles L. Webber is the pastor and Oh! What a powerful speaker he is with his sermons.
He preaches, teaches and he is even an awesome singer. Whenever you are in the Kings Mountain area, please come and receive a blessing and then you will be Thankful that you came.
In conclusion, I would like to say, Happy Thanksgiving to each and everyone and to remember to pray for everyone and to do something special for someone during the holidays and always.
- Cherry Davis-Adams, Dallas
My husband Shane and I live in Dallas.
Shane is well known for his high school football days.
Now he is employed full time as a delivery driver for South Central Pools in Charlotte, and is in the Marine Corps Reserves.
We are very thankful that he has not been deployed yet, but he may be in May. We have two daughters, 2-year-old Audrey and 2-month-old Aniston.
He is a very hard worker, amazing husband, and even more amazing father. He is dedicated to his family and country. He truly is the All-American guy.
- Miki Whitlock
These are just a few of the reasons I am thankful for my husband
As two small children, my older sister Sherree, and myself, needed some guidance and tender loving care that our parents, weren�t quite able to supply.
We lived in Lincolnton and two of the greatest people on earth would come and get us almost weekly and take us to their home in Cherryville.
We loved those trips going to Cherryville, but we hated those Sunday trips back to Lincolnton.
Those two people, whose names were Betty and Ervin Reep, (Uncle Erv and Aunt Betty as we called them) were only related to us as second cousins, but at a very young age, they became our legal guardians until we were both grownups.
I am now and will forever more be thankful for two of the finest people to ever walk on earth, to have taken in two young children, at age 40, after they had already raised their own son.
Thank God for Betty and Ervin Reep.
Both are now deceased, but surely sitting in heaven for these deeds alone!
- Kevin Bost

A Tour of Amazon's DynamoDB
30 January 2012 by Mathias Meyer
Amazon's recent release of DynamoDB, a database whose name is inspired by Dynamo, the key-value database the distributed datastore they've been running in production for a good five to six years now. I think it's great they've finally done it, though from my obverservations, there's little resemblance of what the original Dynamo paper describes, but I'm getting ahead of myself. Traditionally Amazon hasn't been very open about how they implement their services, so some of what I'm stating here may be nothing more than an educated guess. Either way, the result is pretty neat.
Time to take a good look at what it has to offer, how that works out in code, and to make some wild guesses as to what's happening under the covers. I'm using fog's master to talk to DynamoDB in the examples below, but the official Ruby SDK also works. Fog is closer to the bare API metal though, which works out well for our purposes.
My goal is not to outline the entire API and its full set of options, but to dig into the bits most interesting to me and to show some examples. A lot of the focus in other posts is on performance, scalability and operational ease. I think that's a great feature of DynamoDB, but it's pretty much the same with all of their web services. So instead I'm focusing on the effects DynamoDB has on you, the user. We'll look at API, general usage, data model and what DynamoDB's feature generally entails.
The Basics
DynamoDB is a distributed database in the cloud, no surprises, it's not the first such thing Amazon has in its portfolio. S3, SimpleDB, RDS and DynamoDB all provide redudant ways to store different types of data in Amazon's datacenters. Currently, DynamoDB only supports the us-east region.
An important difference is that data stored in DynamoDB is officially stored on SSDs, which has (or at least should have) the benefit of offering predictable performance and greatly reduced latency across the board. The question that remains is, of course: when can I hook up SSDs to my EC2 instances?
The other big deal is that the read and write capacity available to you is configurable. You can tell Amazon how much capacity, in read and write units per second, you expect for your application, and they make sure that capacity is available to you as long as you need it (and pay for it).
Data Model
Data in DynamoDB is stored in tables, a logical separation of data if you will. Table names are only unique on a per-user basis, not globally like S3 buckets.
Tables store items, think rows of data or documents. Items have attributes and values, similar to SimpleDB. Think of it as a JSON document where you can read and write attributes independent of the entire document. Every row can have different attributes and values, but every item needs to have a uniquely identifying key whose name you decide on upfront, when you create the table.
Let's create a table first, but make sure you wear protection, as this is yet
another of Amazon's gross-looking APIs. The relevant API action is
dynamo = Fog::AWS::DynamoDB.new(aws_access_key_id: "YOUR KEY",
aws_secret_access_key: "YOUR SECRET")
{HashKeyElement: {AttributeName: "username", AttributeType: "S"}},
{ReadCapacityUnits: 5, WriteCapacityUnits: 5})
This creates a table called
"people" with an attribute
"username" as the
indexing key. This is the key you're using to reference a row, sorry, an item,
in a table. The key is of type string, hence the S, you can alternatively
specify an N for numeric values. This pattern will come up with every attribute
and value pair you store, you always need to tell DynamoDB if it's a string or a
number. You also specify initial values for expected read and write capacity,
where 5 is the minimum.
You have to provide a proper value for a key, DynamoDB doesn't offer any automatic generation of keys for you, so choose them wisely to ensure a good distribution. A key, that has a lot of data behind it, and that's accessed much more frequently than others will not benefit you. Keep your data simple and store it with multiple keys if you can.
Anyhoo, to insert an item, you can use the
API action, to which you issue a HTTP POST (go figure). The DynamoDB API already
gives me headache, but more on that later. Thankfully, a good client library
hides the terrible interface from us, only leaving us with the hash structures
sent to DynamoDB.
dynamo.put_item("people", {username: {"S" => "roidrage"}})
Specify multiple attributes as separate hash entries, each pointing to a separate hash specifying data type and value. I'll leave it to you to think about how backwards this is, though it must be said that JavaScript is also to blame here, not handling 64 bit integers very well.
You can store lists (or rather sets of data) too, using SS as the datatype.
dynamo.put_item("people", {username: {S: "roidrage"},
tags: {SS: ["nosql", "cloud"]}})
Note that you can use
PutItem on existing items, but you'll always replace all
existing attributes and values.
Conflicts and Conditional Writes
All writes can include optional conditions to check before updating an item. That way you can ensure the item you're writing is still in the same state as your local copy of the data. Think: read, update some attribute, then write, expecting and ensuring to not have any conflicting updates from other clients in between.
This is a pretty neat feature, you can base updates on one attributes based on whether another attribute exists or has a certain value.
{username: {S: "roidrage"}, fullname: {S: "Mathias Meyer"}},
{Expected: {fullname: {Exists: false}}})
This operation is only executed if the item as currently stored in DynamoDB
doesn't have the attribute the attribute
fullname yet. On a subsequent
PutItem call, you could also check if the item's
fullname attribute still
has the same value, e.g. when updating the full name of user "roidrage".
{username: {S: "roidrage"}, fullname: {S: "Mathias Meyer"}},
{Expected: {fullname: {Value: {S: "Mathias Meyer"}}}})
It's not the greatest syntax for sure, but it does the job. Which brings me to some musings about consistency. If the condition fails, Amazon returns a 400 response, just like with every other possible error you could cause.
To make proper use of conditional updates in your application and to actually
prevent conflicting writes and lost updates, you should use the
action instead and only update single attributes, as
PutItem always replaces
the entire item in the database. But even then, make sure to always reference
the right attributes in an update. You could even implement some sort of
versioning scheme on top of this, for instance to emulate multi-version
concurrency control.
Updating single or multiple attributes is done with the
UpdateItem action.
You can update attributes without affecting others and add new attributes as you
see fit. To add a new attribute
street, here's the slightly more verbose code.
dynamo.update_item("people", {HashKeyElement: {S: "roidrage"}},
{street: {Value: {S: "Gabriel-Max-Str. 3"}}})
There are more options involved than with
PutItem, and there are several more
available for
UpdateItem. But they'll have to wait for just a couple of
Consistency on Writes
Conditional updates are the first hint that DynamoDB is not like Dynamo at all, as they assume some sort of semi-transactional semantics. Wherein a set of nodes agree on a state (the conditional expression) and then all apply the update. The same is true for atomic counters, which we'll look at in just a minute.
From the documentation it's not fully clear how writes without a condition or without an atomic counter increment are handled, or what happens when two clients update the same attribute at the same time, and who wins based on which condition. Facing the user, there is no mechanism to detect conflicting writes. So I can only assume DynamoDB either lets the last write win or has a scheme similar to BigTable, using timestamps for each attribute.
Writes don't allow you to specify something like a quorum, telling DynamoDB how consistent you'd like the write to be, it seems to be up to the system to decide when and how quickly replication to other datacenters is done. Alex Popescu's summary on DynamoDB and Werner Vogels' introduction suggest that writes are replicated across data centers synchronously, but doesn't say to how many. On a wild guess, two data centers would make the write durable enough, leaving the others to asynchronous replication.
Consistency on Reads
For reads on the other hand, you can tell DynamoDB if stale data is acceptable to you, resulting in an eventually consistent read. If you prefer strongly consistent reads, you can specify that on a per-operation basis. What works out well for Amazon is the fact that strongly consistent reads cost twice as much as eventually consistent reads, as more coordination and more I/O are involved. From a strictly calculating view, strongly consistent write take up twice as much capacity as eventually consistent writes.
From this I can only assume that writes, unless conditional will usually be at least partially eventually consistent or at least not immediately spread out to all replicas. On reads on the other hand, you can tell DynamoDB to involve more than just one or two nodes and reconcile outdated replicas before returning it to you.
Reading Data
There's not much to reading single items. The action
GetItem allows you to
read entire items or select single attributes to read.
dynamo.get_item("people", {HashKeyElement: {S: "roidrage"}})
Optionally, add the consistency option to get strong consistency, with eventual consistency being the default.
dynamo.get_item("people", {HashKeyElement: {S: "roidrage"}},
{ConsistentRead: true})
A read without any more options always returns all data, but you can select specific attributes.
dynamo.get_item("people", {HashKeyElement: {S: "roidrage"}},
{AttributesToGet: ["street"]})
Atomic Counters
Atomic counters are a pretty big deal. This is what users want out of pretty much every distributed database. Some say they're using it wrong, but I think they're right to ask for it. Distributed counters are hard, but not impossible.
Counters need to be numerical fields, and you can increment and decrement them
using the
UpdateItem action. To increment a field by a value, specify a numerical
attribute, the value to be incremented by, and use the action
ADD. Note that
the increment value needs to be a string.
dynamo.update_item("people", {HashKeyElement: {S: "roidrage"}},
{logins: {Value: {N: "1"}, Action: "ADD"}})
When the counter attribute doesn't exist yet, it's created for you and set to 1. You can also decrement values by specifying a negative value.
dynamo.update_item("people", {HashKeyElement: {S: "roidrage"}},
{logins: {Value: {N: "-1"}, Action: "ADD"}})
Can't tell you how cool I think this feature is. Even though we keep telling people that atomic counters in distributed system are hard, as they involve coordination and increase vulnerability to failure of a node involved in an operation, systems like Cassandra and HBase show that it's possible to do.
Storing Data in Sets
Other than numerical (which need to be specified as strings nonetheless) and
string data types, you can store sets of both too. One member can only exist
once in an attribute set. The neat part is that you can atomically add new
members to sets using the
UpdateItem action. In the JSON format sent to the
server, you always reference even just single members to add as a list of items.
Here's an example:
dynamo.update_item("people", {HashKeyElement: {S: "roidrage"}},
{tags: {Value: {SS: ["nosql"]}}})
That always replaces the existing attribute though. To add a member you need to specify an action. If the member already exists, nothing happens, but the request still succeeds.
dynamo.update_item("people", {HashKeyElement: {S: "roidrage"}},
{tags: {Value: {SS: ["cloud"]}, Action: "ADD"}})
You can delete elements in a similar fashion, by using the action
dynamo.update_item("people", {HashKeyElement: {S: "roidrage"}},
{tags: {Value: {SS: ["cloud"]}, Action: "DELETE"}})
The default action is
PUT, which replaces the listed attributes with the
values specified. If you run
PUT or
ADD on a key that doesn't exist yet, the
item will be automatically created. This little feature and handling of sets and
counters in general sounds a lot like things that made MongoDB so popular, as
you can atomically push items onto lists and increment counters.
This is another feature that's got me thinking about whether DynamoDB even includes the tiniest bit of the original Dynamo. You could model counters and sets based on something like Dynamo for sure, based on the ideas behind Commutative Replicated Data Types. But I do wonder if Amazon actually did go through all the trouble building that system on top of the traditional Dynamo, or if they implemented something entirely new for this purpose. There is no doubt that operations like these is what a lot of users want even from distributed databases, so either way, they've clearly hit a nerve.
Column Store in Disguise?
The fact that you can fetch and update single attributes with consistency guarantees makes me think that DynamoDB is actually more like a wide column store like Cassandra, HBase or, gasp, Google's BigTable. There doesn't seem to be anything left from the original, content-agnostic idea of the Dynamo data store, whose name DynamoDB so nicely piggybacks on.
The bottom line is there's always a schema of attributes and values for a particular item you store. What you store in an attribute is up to you, but there's a limit of 64KB per item.
DynamoDB assumes there's always some structure in the data you're storing. If you need something content-agnostic to store data but with similar benefits (replication, redundancy, fault-tolerance), use S3 and CloudFront. Nothing's keeping you from using several services obviously. If I used DynamoDB for something it'd probably not be my main datastore, but an add-on for data I need to have highly available and stored in a fault-tolerant fashion, but that's a matter of taste.
A Word on Throughput Capacity
Whereas you had to dynamically add capacity in self-hosting database systems, always keeping an eye on current capacity limits, you can add more capacity to handle more DynamoDB request per second simply by issuing an API call.
Higher capacity means paying more. To save money, You could even adjust the capacity for a specific time of day basis, growing up and down with your traffic. If you go beyond your configured throughput capacity, operations may be throttled.
Throughput capacity is based on size of items you read and the number of reads and writes per second. Reading one item with a size of 1 KB corresponds to one read capacity unit. Add more required capacity units with increased size and number of operations per second.
This is the metric you always need to keep an eye on and constantly measure from your app, not just to validate invoice Amazon sends you at the end of the month, but also to track your capacity needs at all times. Luckily you can track this using CloudWatch and trigger alerts. Amazon can trigger predefined alerts when capacity crosses a certain threshold. Plus, every response to a read includes the consumed read capacity, and the same is true for writes.
Throughput capacity pricing is pretty ingenious on Amazon's end. You pay for what you reserve, not for what you actually use. As you always have to have more capacity available as you currently need, you always need to reserve more in DynamoDB. But if you think about it, this is exactly how you'd work with your own hosted, distributed database. You'll never want to work very close to capacity, unless you're some crazy person.
Of course you can only scale down throughput capacity once per day, but scale up as much as you like, and increases need to be done at least 10%. I applaud you for exploiting every possible opportunity to make money, Amazon!
Data Partitioning
Amazon's documentation suggests that Amazon doesn't use random partitioning to spread data across partitions, partitioning is instead done per table. Partitions are created as you add data and as you increase capacity, suggesting either some sort of composite key scheme or a tablet like partitioning scheme, again, similar to what HBase or BigTable do. This is more fiction than fact, it's an assumption on my part. A tablet-like approach certainly would make distributing and splitting up partitions easier than having a fixed partitioning scheme upfront like in Dynamo.
The odd part is that Amazon actually makes you worry about partitions but doesn't seem to offer any way of telling you about them or how your data is partitioned. Amazon seems to handle partitioning mostly automatically and increases capacity by spreading out your data across more partitions as you scale capacity demand up.
Range Keys
Keys can be single values or based on a key-attribute combination. This is a pretty big deal as it effectively gives you composite keys in a distributed database, think Cassandra's data model. This effectively gives you a time series database in the cloud, allowing you to store sorted data.
You can specify a secondary key on which you can query by a range, and which Amazon automatically indexes for you. This is yet another feature that makes DynamoDB closer to a wide column store than the traditional Dynamo data store.
The value of the range key could be an increasing counter (though you'd have to take care of this yourself), a timestamp, or a time based UUID. Of course it could be anything else and unique entirely, but time series data is just a nice example for range keys. The neat part is that this way you can extract data for specific time ranges, e.g. for logging or activity feeds.
We already looked at how you define a normal hash key, let's look at an example with a more complex key combining a hash key and a range key, using a numerical type to denote a timestamp.
dynamo.create_table("activities", {
HashKeyElement: {AttributeName: "username", AttributeType: "S"},
RangeKeyElement: {AttributeName: "created_at", AttributeType: "N"}},
{ReadCapacityUnits: 5, WriteCapacityUnits: 5})
Now you can insert new items based on both the hash key and a range key. Just specify at least both attributes in a request.
dynamo.put_item("activities", {
username: {S: "roidrage"},
created_at: {N: Time.now.tv_sec.to_s},
activity: {S: "Logged in"}})
The idea is simple, it's a timestamp-based activity feed per user, indexed by
the time of the activity. Using the
Query action, we can fetch a range of
activities, e.g. for the last 24 hours. Just using
get_item, you always have
to specify a specific combination of hash and range key.
To fetch a range, I'll have to resort to using Amazon's Ruby SDK, as fog hasn't
implemented the
Query action yet. That way you won't see the dirty API stuff
for now, but maybe that's a good thing.
dynamo = AWS::DynamoDB.new(access_key_id: "YOUR KEY",
secret_access_key: "YOUR SECRET")
activites = dynamo["activities"]
items = activities.items.query(
hash_key: "roidrage",
range_greater_than: (Time.now - 85600).tv_sec)
This fetches all activity items for the last 24 hours. You can also fetch more historic items by specifying ranges. This example fetches all items for the last seven days.
items = activities.items.query(
hash_key: "roidrage",
range_greater_than: (Time.now - 7.days.ago).tv_sec,
range_less_than: Time.now.tv_sec)
Note that the
Query action is only available for tables with composite keys. If
you don't specify a range key, DynamoDB will return all items matching the hash
Queries using Filters
The only things that's missing now is a way to do richer queries, which DynamoDB
offers by way of the
action. fog doesn't have an implementation for this yet, so we once again turn
to the AWS Ruby SDK.
Scanning allows you to specify a filter, which can be an arbitrary number of attribute and value matches. Once again the Ruby SDK abstracts the ugliness of the API underneath into something more readable.
activities.items.where(:activity).begins_with("Logged").each do |item|
p item.attributes.to_h
You can include more than one attribute and build arbitrarily complex queries, in this example to fetch only items related to the user "roidrage" and him logging in.
activities.items.where(:activity).equals("Logged in").
and(:username).equals("roidrage").each do |item|
p item.attributes.to_h
You can query for ranges as well, combining the above with getting only items for the last seven days.
activities.items.where(:activity).equals("Logged in").
and(:created_at).between(7.days.ago.tv_sec, Time.now.tv_sec).each {|item|
p item.attributes.to_h
Filters fetch a maximum of 1 MB of data. As soon as that's accumulated, the scan returns, but also includes the last item evaluated, so you can continue where the query left off. Interestingly, you also get the number of items remaining. Something like paginating results dynamically comes to mind. Running a filter is very similar to running a full table scan, though it's rather efficient thanks to SSDs. But don't expect single digit millisecond responses here. As scans heavily affect your capacity throughput, you're better off resorting to their use only for ad-hoc queries, not as a general part of your application's workflow.
Query and
GetItem, the
Scan action doesn't guarantee strong
consistency, and there's no flag to explicitly request it.
The API
DynamoDB's HTTP API has got to be the worst ever built at Amazon, you could even think it's the first API every designed at Amazon. You do POST requests even to GET data. The request and response can include conditions and validations and their respective errors, the proper Java class name of an error and other crap. Not to mention that every error caused by any kind of input on your end always causes a 400.
Here's an example of a simplified request header:
Content-Type: application/x-amz-json-1.0
x-amz-target: DynamoDB_20111205.GetItem
And here's a response body from an erroneous request:
"message":"One or more parameter values were invalid:
The provided key size does not match with that of the schema"}
Lovely! At least there's a proper error message, though it's not always telling you what the real error is. Given that Amazon's documentation is still filled with syntactical errors, this is a bit inconvenient.
The API is some bastard child of SOAP, but with JSON instead of XML. Even using a pretty low level library like fog doesn't hide all the crap from you. Which worked out well in this case, as you see enough of the API to get an idea about its basic workings.
The code examples above don't read very Ruby like as I'm sure you'll agree. Though I gotta say, the Ruby SDK provided by AWS feels a lot more like Ruby in its interface.
I don't have very high hopes to see improvements on Amazon's end, but who knows. S3, for example, got a pretty decent REST API eventually.
Pricing is done (aside from throughput capacity) per GB stored. If you store millions of items, and they all exceed size of just a few KB, expect to pay Amazon a ton of money, storage pricing trumps throughput pricing by a lot. Keep data stored in an item small. If you only store a few large items, it works too, but you may end up being better off choosing one of Amazon's other storage options. You do the math. Pricing for storage and the maximum size for a single item always includes attribute names, just like with SimpleDB.
To give you an idea how pricing works out, here's a simple calculation. 100 GB of data, 1000 reads per second, 200 writes per second, item size is 4 KB on average. That's $1253.15 every month, not including traffic. Add 10 GB of data the second month and you're at $1263.15. You get the idea. Pricing is much more affected by read and write operations vs. item size. Make your items 6 KB in size, and you're already at $1827.68.
Bottom Line
Though Amazon is doing a pretty good job at squeezing the last drop of money out of their customers using DynamoDB, think about what you're getting in return. No operations, no hosting facilities, let alone in three different datacenters, conditional writes and atomic counters, and a database that (I assume) has years of experience in production forged into it.
As usually the case with Amazon's Web Services, using something like DynamoDB is a financial tradeoff. You get a data store that scales up and down with your demand without you having to worry about the details of hardware, operations, replication and data performance. In turn you pay for every aspect of the system. The price for storage is likely to go down eventually, making it a more attractive alternative to hosting an open source NoSQL database system yourself. Whether this is an option for your specific use case, only you're able to make that decision.
If you store terrabytes of data, and that data is worth tens of thousands of dollars per month in return for not having to care about hosting, by all means, go for DynamoDB. But at that size, just one or two months of hosting on Amazon pays off buying servers and SSDs for several data centers. That obviously doesn't cover operational costs and personell, but it's just something to think about.
Closing Thoughts
Sorted range keys, conditional updates, atomic counters, structured data and multi-valued data types, fetching and updating single attributes, strong consistency, and no explicit way to handle and resolve conflicts other than conditions. A lot of features DynamoDB has to offer remind me of everything that's great about wide column stores like Cassandra, but even more so of HBase. This is great in my opinion, as Dynamo would probably not be well-suited for a customer-facing system. And indeed, Werner Vogel's post on DynamoDB seems to suggest DynamoDB is a bastard child of Dynamo and SimpleDB, though with lots of sugar sprinkled on top.
Note that it's certainly possible and may actually be the case that Amazon has built all of the above on top of the basic Dynamo ingredients, Cassandra living proof that it's possible. But if Amazon did reuse a lot of the existing Dynamo code base, they hid it really well. All the evidence points to at least heavy usage of a sorted storage system under the covers, which works very well with SSDs, as they make sequential writes and reads nice and fast.
No matter what it is, Amazon has done something pretty great here. They hide most of the complexity of a distributed system from the user. The only option you as a user worry about is whether or not you prefer strong consistency. No quorum, no thinking about just how consistent you want a specific write or read operation to be.
I'm looking forward to seeing how DynamoDB evolves. Only time will tell how big of an impact Amazon's entering the NoSQL market is going to have. Give it a whirl to find out more about it.
Want to know how the original Dynamo system works? Have a look at the Riak Handbook, a comprehensive guide to Riak a distributed database that implements the ideas of Dynamo and adds lots of sugar on top.
I'm happy to be proven wrong or told otherwise about some of my assumptions here, so feel free to get in touch!

The basic principle of how to determine dosage is: The more severe the condition, the more often will its repetition be necessary.
It is important to remember that a medicine should only be taken as long as the person experiences pain. Do not continue taking the medicine unless there are still symptoms. The basic idea is to take as little of the medicine as possible and yet enough to lessen pain and stimulate one's healing powers.
Administration of the Medicine
The medicine should be taken into a "clean mouth." Food, drink, tobacco, toothpaste, and other substances should not be put into the mouth for at least 15 minutes before or after the dose. It is generally best to place the medicine underneath the tongue.
Homeopaths have found that some substances can neutralize the effects of the homeopathic medicines. Although there is some controversy around which substances are implicated more than others, it is best to avoid the following substances for at least 48 hours after taking the final dose: coffee, camphorated products (including lip balm, counter-irritant muscle relaxing cremes, Tiger's balm), strong herbal teas, mentholated products, cough drops, and mouthwash.
Care and Storage of Homeopathic Medicines
Special handling and storage of the homeopathic medicines are needed in order to avoid possible contamination. When the medicines are correctly handled and stored, homeopaths have found that they can last for several generations. Since it is very difficult to determine if the medicines have been contaminated, one should take the following precautions to prevent potential problems.
--The medicines should be kept away fraom strong light, from temperatures higher than 100 degrees, and from exposure to strong odors like camphor, menthol, mothballs, or perfumes.
--The medicines should always be kept in the container in which they were supplied and never transferred to any other bottle which has contained other substances.

The Old Shepherd (repost)20/06/2012
Amidst the mists & through the treacherous trails that lead you to the highest vantage points on earth, life goes on quite differently than ours.Fortunate enough not to be enslaved by our obsessive modernity, contentment is relatively simpler to find. The climates are harsh, but equally strong is the power of our adaptability. This shepherd whom I encountered a couple of years ago during a trek in the Himalayas has no interest in shifting to an 'easier' environment of the cities. He didn't agree to a portrait initially, saying what's the use of it – after a bit of talking, he agreed but only to humor me.

Sulbutiamine : by Ray Sahelian, M.D. - 0 views
shared by Matti Narkia on 06 Aug 09 - Cached
Matti Narkia on 06 Aug 09Sulbutiamine is a centrally acting cholinergic vitamin B analogue. One study shows sulbutiamine improve memory in rats. At this time I prefer using a combination of several B vitamins rather than relying on one vitamin B analogue. For more information on B vitamins or to purchase Vitamin B Coenzyme. Even better is to take a multivitamin that has a combination of the B vitamins along with a couple of dozen vitamins and nutrients. In most cases I think it is better to take a small amount of a number of different nutrients as opposed to a large amount of just one. Consider a very popular product that I have formulated called MultiVit-Rx.

SAN MATEO, CA -- Inches-A-Weigh, a women-only fitness club, abruptly shut down its operation Monday, and many members say they were overcharged for membership dues in recent weeks, according to InsideBayArea.com.
The club's owner, Connie DiVecchio, could not be reached for comment, but a man who claimed to be her husband says the couple was going bankrupt and had to close the business or risk losing their home, according to the media report.
San Mateo, CA, police are investigating whether DiVecchio intentionally bilked her customers out of their money before closing her doors. Several members say they noticed their debit accounts were double-charged without their consent. If there is any merit to the allegations, the case will be forwarded to the District Attorney's office, according to the report.
