Am I Too Old to Have Success in Online Dating?

Am I Too Old to Have Success in Online Dating?

Hi Evan,

I feel like I am “aging out” of online dating. I’ve noticed after my last birthday (I turned 54 in June) that the response I get on has dropped to almost nothing. It’s as though moving from the early 50s to the mid 50s is some kind of death-knell for a dating life. I initiate contact with men in an age-range of about 3 years younger up to about 8 years older than myself. The potential matches that the site sends me are age appropriate for me, but when I look at the age-range that those men desire, (usually 35-50) I often move past them, knowing I can’t compete with women in their desired range, even though many of those men are as much as 5-8 years older than me! In other words, knowingly sends me matches that are probably not realistic for me to pursue. When I have emailed some of those guys, I never hear back. I’m guessing they check out my profile, see my age, and probably read no further. Even if I am within their desired range, I still don’t get much of a response. I assume the reason for this is they can get younger women to respond to them, so why would they go for me when they have a chance with the 45 year-old version of me? If their first wife was their age, like a college sweetheart or whatever, they probably feel entitled to a newer model, so to speak. Our culture encourages this. It’s frustrating, not to mention depressing and more than a little humiliating. It’s the built-in folly of online sites: you are only defined by your age, in bold type right next to your user name.

I am a youthful, fit and free-spirited woman and to be honest, I’m not ready for the retired 65-70+ year old guys. I don’t mean those men any disrespect, I just want to date a guy closer to my age so that I have a longer future with him, and I don’t feel that I should have to apologize for that. I have taken your and others’ advice about profile writing, and I have great photos, so I feel confident that the problem is not in how I present myself. I am disinclined to lie about my age. It always comes out eventually and I’d hate to have to explain myself then. I’m not ashamed of my age and hiding it seems phony. When I meet men in person in my daily life, I get a better response because they see the whole me, hear my voice, get a sense of what I’m like, all before they know how old I am, meaning I can be defined by other qualities. It’s difficult to meet large numbers of men that way, but I’m starting to feel like my chance of making a non age-biased connection with a guy is only out in the real world. And the real-world opportunities can be few and far between. Any insight?

Dear Sara,

Older men have more options than older women (online and in real life) because they can usually date somewhat younger.

I can’t disagree with anything you’ve observed about online dating and age. I can only disagree with your ultimate conclusion.

So here are the facts:

Older men have more options than older women (online and in real life) because they can usually date somewhat younger.

Older men have a huge blind spot when it comes to age. They refuse to even consider women their own age, even if she’s fit and attractive. Worse, they’re hypocritical about it, because they don’t understand why the vast majority of younger women won’t go for them.

And yet, the fastest growing segment for online dating is the 50+ market. More unhappy couples are getting divorced when the kids leave the house. More people work from home. More people spend 10 hours a day at the office. More people have computers and are aware of someone who found love online.

We also know that dating online does not mean that you’re not dating men you meet in real life. Which is why this is not an either/or choice. If you meet a guy through friends, at the market, at a concert, great. Having a profile on isn’t going to keep you from doing that.

Most people who say they’ve taken my advice have only taken a few pieces of my advice. Which is like saying you’re going on a diet by cutting out sugar, but continuing to eat large portions of fried foods.

Now that we’ve established that online dating is a smart and necessary long-term strategy for women over 50, the question becomes, “What can you do better?”

You think you’re doing everything you can possibly do. And you may be trying your best, but you’re not truly maximizing your potential.

In all likelihood, despite your efforts, I’m betting your profile can be better, your photos can be better, your responses to men could be better, your initial emails to men could be better, and your choices in men could be better.

Are you using Reverse Match? Are you using Daily Matches? Are you adding men to your favorites list? Are you putting in a half hour a day? Are you initiating contact with at least one man a day who states that he’s open to women your age?

I don’t know the answer, but most people who say they’ve taken my advice have only taken a few pieces of my advice.

Which is like saying you’re going on a diet by cutting out sugar, but continuing to eat large portions of fried foods.

My recommendation – if you haven’t done it already – is to go through every word in Finding the One Online. It’s 7 hours/180 pages of advice that takes you through the entire process of online dating chronologically. I’m betting you can find TWENTY things you can do differently to get different results.

But don’t kid yourself.

You can’t change men.
You can’t change online dating.
You don’t have to quit online dating to meet men in real life.

All you can do is change your mindset and approach to the dating process and let the chips fall where they may.

And since I’ve helped a LOT of women over 50, I have to believe that all you can do is keep on keeping on, instead of embracing the idea that NO women over the age of 50 find partners online.

It just ain’t true.

    I put my age range is 35-55.

    Of course my pics suck so I’m not getting much traffic. :(
    But I’ve gotten many compliments on my profile.

    I find that the women in my age range know what they’re looking for and have their shit together.

    That’s a turn on.

  2. 32

    P.S. Ladies – I’m 51 and have done MUCH self reflection after ea. relationship/marriage. (Been there 2x).

    I’m always trying to figure out what she did wrong!
    haha just kidding. What I did to contribute to the failure of the relationship.

    I’m learning and always trying to improve myself because that way not only will my future partner be happier, I’ll be happier too.

    @JB as one of the young women on here-you are right that 90% of the guys are like you. You stated above that you are 53 but lie and say your are 48…then you email girls like me, early 30s and expect a response. My dad is 54, do you think dating a man your age is appropriate for a young woman like me?

      Are you saying you wouldn’t date George Cloony?
      It’s funny to watch women suddenly eager to date older men when the guy is rich and famous.

    “As far as shaving a few years off your age, think: how would you be disposed towards a man after meeting him and discovering he’d added a few inches to his height online but hadn’t mentioned this in his profile text?”
    Shaving a few years off one’s age doesn’t alter one’s appearance. Of course, people should always use recent photos in their profiles, although many don’t.
    And isn’t the PU/Game theory targeted to work on younger, less experienced  women?

  5. 35

    I don’t think its a big deal shaving off a few years. I spend a couple of hours a week canoeing, as well as a couple of hours each in yoga and spinning classes a week because its fun and feels good..

    Im in better shape than 90% of the guys Ive met, who were looking for younger women by 10-20 years. None of these guys have complained about my age when Ive disclosed it.

    Most all guys I personally know are online saying they are 10 years younger to try to get younger women. Since I know many guys add to their height I make sure I emphasize up front that Im 6 feet in heels

    Like Ellen Im going to do what I can reasonably get away with and do whats effective. I’m going to flaunt what I still have since I don’t thing most of these guys are having that much luck with their “ideal wish list”

    Michelle @30: totally agree. Men would rather watch college football week after week than spend even 10 minutes reflecting upon the demise of their marriages. lol

    Nathan is SPOT ON about boomer men, though I’ve met a few who were mature emotionally, reflective. A few who were respectful and not obviously old school or condescending. However, Andrew!, I totally disagree with: “Logic and reason are masculine qualities and a woman must communicate to such an audience with her profile.” I’ve met PLENTY of illogical men, plenty.

    I want to add that I agree with a poster who said women in this society are expected to be merely eye candy often, even though we supposedly won some kind of sexual revolution in the ’60s and ’70s (which the Republican Party is trying to derail as we speak). It sickens me how this dated bu*lsh*t hangs on. I mainly want to grab young women who dress like hookers and ask them why they feel the need to do this.

    I also know about Naomi Wolf and have been meaning to read her. Despite my obvious femininity I guess, I consider myself a feminist and have told several dates that I AM a feminist.

    Also, just because I lied about my age doesn’t mean I am a bad person or prone to dishonesty. I would rate myself as fairly scrupulously honest given my spiritual beliefs which come closest to Buddhism I guess. I just saw the handwriting on the wall early…..

    But I have become so “conditioned” about how men view age that even six months into my current relationship I would remain mum on any physical complaints. To be honest, I never had many aches and pains much til I turned 59 last February. Since then I’ve had a bout with arthritis in my left thumb and a recurrence of some spinal issues which seem to have abated. For a while this summer I moved like an old woman often and that has humbled me quite a bit folks. So while I look nice, believe me, on the structural level anyway I am completely 59! lol

    But like sexism, I think we need, as a society, to rethink age. Clearly some people, whether its a combo of genes, diet, or outlook, are aging at a slower rate than others. Cell telemeres are key also (cell division)….Also, sometimes a person’s psychic energy is just incredible and they run around like a young adult 24/7. They have true joie de vivre.

    Finally, if you go this route- plastic surgery and diet and the gym- know that even that is not enough and you need to explore bioidentical hormones at some point (both me and my current bf use them, get our blood tested, etc.). The number of men using supplemental testosterone has exploded and saavy women (imo) are exploring bioidentical hormones (NOT Prempro and that horse cra*) AND testosterone as a way to slow aging. Not all women can take supplemental estrogen though…..But that’s another topic for another day.

    “Would you say the typical guy using those methods is really looking for commitment, or just some action?  I guess what I’m trying to ask is this: younger men may feel the need to get advice, but…women say they don’t want guys who are PUAs, yet the PUA advice does seem to work on them. ”
    Joe, from what I have seen, PUA seems to attract a variety of men. Some  are clearly interested in just sex. Some don’t know what they want. While others genuinely want a relationship, and use PUA, Game, and similar approaches primarily to increase their confidence.
    As for this discordance between women saying they dislike PUA, and yet it actually working – I don’t know. How much of the “working” is about being a man who is confident in himself, and how much of it is the actual tactics and approaches?

  8. 38
    Karmic Equation

    I’m not a man, but I can say that the confidence and the PUA tactics and approaches have to be complementary to the man.

    I’ve had a 29 yo brazenly lie about his wealth and skilz to try to pick me up. But I don’t think he took any PUA classes. LOL. He didn’t succeed.

    My current reformed-playah bf, I’d say, he possibly could have taken classes or maybe read up on some PUA tactics. He used lines and tactics that work for his looks and style. And he played me in stages and I let him chase me until I caught him 😉

    Anyway, I think it’s ok for men to use whatever tactics they need to approach and attract women. It’s no different than a woman dressing super sexy or wearing nice perfume to attract men. Looks and smell attract men. Words and actions attract women. Level playing field, imo.

    Loved your post #8. Go get ’em girl!

    Maybe a few disagreements with your post #36.

    “I mainly want to grab young women who dress like hookers and ask them why they feel the need to do this.”

    I think this is showing your age, Ellen. LOL… Dressy hot is actually a good thing. GOOD MEN as well as bad men are attracted to hot women. If you dress like a wall flower, you may limit your pool of men to “filter” from. Read this. I really think it’s on the money. Now if the girls are ACTING like hookers as well as dressing like them, well, they hurt no one but themselves as they’re self-limiting their LTR-ness in good men’s eyes. The playahs and jerks will still be after them, but the good men will probably stay away (there was a blog post about this, but I can’t remember where I read it).

    “Despite my obvious femininity I guess, I consider myself a feminist and have told several dates that I AM a feminist.”

    Because you believe in female power, doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a feminist. Do you get insulted when a man holds the door open for you? Do you insist on paying on dates? I used to think I was a feminist until I realized I like men holding doors for me and treating me like a woman. I’m far from fragile or needing a daddy-figure, but I love the *good intentions* behind chivalry. If you love chivalry, you’re not a feminist, just a woman who believes in the power of being a woman.

    Just promise me one thing, don’t be the 63 yo who tries to pick up 30 yo’s. A 63 yo woman (killer bod for her age, but her face showed her age, due to smoking) — tried to pick up my bf. She was a catch for the 55+ and over, maybe even 50+, but trying to pick up someone 30 years her junior was, how can I say, sad and icky to observe. No dignity in that.

    Keep on keeping on!

    @Julia #33 Show me where I said I email anyone under my age range of 43-54? I don’t and never do. I had a couple of dates with a 40 yr.old and SHE winked at me first. I don’t email 35 yr.olds and I certainly wouldn’t expect a response. I’ve been on this blog for years….lol :-)

     I don’t and never have emailed any women as young as you or young enough to be my daughter. I’m smarter than that and I’m not interested in them. My ex girlfriend was 3 yrs older than me btw. I want a woman in my range 43-54 and I don’t think that’s crazy. Preferably old enough to have kids that don’t need baby sitters!!!

  12. 42

    Karmic Equation

    Im not sure what your age is but the word “Feminism” is misunderstood by women who don’t remember times when women had fewer rights  If you read the history of feminism it had nothing to do with women objecting to having doors opened by men. I remember jobs being advertised as for men only and my mother couldn’t get those jobs Even today women earn less for the same job.

     I didn’t catch the reference that Ellen made against women looking hot and attractive. I think you may have misunderstood that

    Ellen another GREAT post Love it!!!

    Julia @ 33 –
    I’m a 50 year old man and met a wonderful 32 y.o. lady this past weekend. I didn’t hit on her – she approached me and we had a wonderful evening and met again two days later.  Yes I am old enough to be her father but that obviously didn’t bother her.
    I think some women do find older men “icky” just as I’m sure some men find it distasteful to be approached by women 20-30 years older than them.
    I date a very wide range of women and I find age to be just another factor.  I’m not nearly as concerned with a woman’s biological age as much as I’m concerned about whether our personalities mesh.  I certainly haven’t conducted any scientific studies on the issue but do find, generally speaking, that women 10 -15 years younger are much more fun, carefree, less critical, and less inclined to be pushing for a committed relationship after one or two dates.

  14. 44

    I find the debate correlating one’s dating age with one’s self-esteem fascinating.

    Christine 22
    “I’m 33 and feel like I’m too old for it…after seeing almost all of the men I want overlook me for women in their 20s”

    This reminds me of when I was about 14 to 19 years old. Like many (most?) young men I really struggled with women to the point of desperation, even depression. I was constantly perplexed as to the calibre of men my contemporaries chased, whilst considering nice, quiet boys (like me) as just friends. Now that I’m 29 young women approach me all the time, much to the chagrin of their male counterparts I’m sure. In retrospect I realise it was not the fault of these girls, it’s just, well, the way it is.

    The same applies to these men – it’s not really their fault why they want what they want; it’s just life.

    Joe, Nathan and Karmic re PUA
    “How much of the “working” is about being a man who is confident in himself, and how much of it is the actual tactics and approaches?

    It is obviously impossible to quantify how effectual “game theory” is, as each practitioner is inherently different with varied characteristics so we have no way to isolate the variables. However, I agree with Joe as I (without meaning to sound crass) can personally vouch for the effectiveness of ‘tactics’. As someone who always craved lots of sex, I had to learn the skills (independent of Strauss) to get some, much like one learns Italian or the guitar, i.e. through rigorous analysis and careful practice. The trick is to imply a sense of connection and consequently allow a woman make her own set of inferences; i.e. women create the illusion of a great guy themselves! Maybe the guy is great, but he’s generally just after one thing. A poor PUA will lie or brag, as lies can easily be caught out and bragging is uncouth.

    For some reason (game), women always assume I’m innocent, deep and contemplative, whereas I’m actually shallow and fickle, and I know exactly what I’m doing.

    “Despite my obvious femininity…I consider myself a feminist and have told several dates that I AM a feminist”

    That’s perfectly ok; I consider myself a feminist too as I fully support the advocacy of women’s rights in relation to equality with men.

    @SJZ, you could make a drinking game out of the number of people who think they look 10 years younger than their age but think all of their peers are old farts.  Maybe all of these 50 somethings who think they pass for 35 should start their own dating website.

    Nothing can really mimic youth, esp. not next to actual youth.  I go to fitness class with loads of people who have a couple of decades on me, and who can literally run circles around me, but they do NOT look the same age or younger than me.  I think that whole “I look X” only works when people who arent’ that age aren’t around, or it’s just insincere flattery given to you by people who are your friends who want to butter you up as they hit on you.

    I think I look my age.  If you are my age and don’t look the same as me, I don’t think it is proof of anything except that we aren’t the same person.

    And it’s kind of a bullwhip effect really, b/c if 45 years olds claim to look 35, then they’ll say the 35 year olds don’t look their age either, or else they have to admit that they are a bit deluded.

  16. 46

    @nicole I was thinking the same thing.  Every single person on here (or really any blog) thinks they look good for their age or younger.  Coincidence?  Are all the people who look their age or old for their age silent?  Most people think they look above average which isn’t possible.  I think if you look great for 50 then blow all the other average 50 year olds out of the water, rather than change your age to 40 (and compete with 40 year olds who apparently look 30).  People always say I look 10 years younger, even women who are 10 years younger.  But like you said, when I was that age peoole thought I was even much younger.  I think when I was younger I thought 30 year olds and 60 year olds looked old.  As time goes by you realize those ages are not old.  If one more person post how they look wat younger I will lose it (or get a chuckle).  You likely choose to compare yourself to people who don’t look good for their age or your idea of 40/50/6 was from another generation when people weren’t as active.

  17. 47

    As cynical  as I can get about dating,I am  absolutely amazed at the cynicism so many women here are displaying about age. If you’re attractive no one gives a shit.  if you’re average, or pudgy, it doesn’t matter if you’re 23. And given how many old or weird or unattractive people I see out there every day with a guy, none of those things will stop you from finding love. Young pretty girls have it rougher bc guys are more likely to see us as objects or string us along. Who is going to string along some old lady? A fifty some woman will get less dates but those who do ask her out will actually do so because they want to be with her, as she has no superficial qualities to distract.

  18. 48

    @K, so true.  I think that the WORST judges of age are people who aren’t your peers.  If you ask a 24 year old if you “look 40″ their answer is not anything to put faith in, b/c they think 40 is like 100.  I’ve had that experience with young 20-somethings, and I just said, you should not be impressed that I’m in my 30’s and have all of my teeth (that’s not what she said but it was something along the lines of, oh wow, you look good for your age as if I was a senior citizen).

    Also, a LOT of people think that having a small dress size makes them look young.   It doesn’t, b/c I personally associate frailty with old people.

    And I think they need to start checking IDs at H&M and Forever 21 b/c a lot of these “I work out 7 days a week” 50 year olds just need to stop shopping in juniors just b/c they can wear those sizes.  Again, so many things signify your age that have nothing to do with how small your jeans are or or how many miles you can run, although I take my hat off to the many people who are old enough to be my parents who like I said, can beat me in a footrace and run like 10 times as far as me.  Why aren’t they happy with that?  Why keep dressing like Miley Cyrus?

    One of my friends actually started a Happy Hour group to try to combat the number of groups we go to that have an age cap yet are overrun by these 50 year olds who think they are the young looking ones.  My friend half jokingly asked everyone, “are you in your 30’s b/c we are checking IDs”…so far, so good.  And the 30 somethings, male and female, are pretty psyched to not have to deal with getting hit on by people 20 years older than them.  clearly, everyone’s individual dating preferences are flexible, but we’ve enjoyed socializing with our true peers, and not our imagined ones…

  19. 49

    I’m a bit taken aback by how many people admit to lying about their age.  I don’t like men who lie.  Period.  And if someone lies on his profile, it makes me believe that he is insecure, that he will probably tell me what he thinks I wish to hear about other subjects in the future and that he has a chip on his shoulder about women his own age.  *shudder*
    I see that Evan and his wife are busy caring for their newborn son – CONGRATULATIONS! – but I hope that when he returns here in 2 weeks, Evan will comment on the subject of lying about one’s age.

  20. 50

    It flips the other way.  I hear younger men say they prefer older women for exactly the same reason that you prefer younger women.  Younger men believe (erroneously i think) that older women are not looking for long term or marriage. How could we be. WE’RE ALMOST DEAD!
    I personally barely give a **** how old someone is though I do draw the line at the 18yo who’s had a crush on me for three years.  I know his mother (not the only reason, I jest).   I’ve sparked with men in their eighties but they were married.  I guess there are practical difficulties but I’ve seen up close and personal where the younger partner is the one who died first, or who got sick, and it’s the older one who ended up alone, or the carer.  it’s not the norm but none of is the norm.  The norm is a construct. We are all exceptional.
    I think we are less age – obsessed in the UK but we are catching up I fear. I don’t care how anyone else chooses to dress, or have their hair, or what their body shape is. I mean, my God, don’t we have better things to think about.
    We could all stand to be kinder.  We’ll all be old one day unless we die first. These people we all are laughing at. That will be us. It’s your mother, your grandfather, your great aunt. No-one chooses to get old. Compassion people!
    I see all sorts in relationships, beautiful, not so beautiful, tall, fat, thin, old, badly dressed, stylish, smart, not smart, educated, fit. rich poor.  Those things ultimately aren’t what make it work. it’s the heart, integrity, character, hope, faith of a person. That comes in all packages and all age groups. And before we atart saying he or she must be x,y,z we have to be those things ourselves.
     like attracts like. If your partners are (like mine used to be), shallow, flaky, emotionally unavailable, incapable of love, abusive, obsessed with appearance/age/status/sex, whatever, look at yourself.  It ain’t pretty but that’s where change begins.
    No. you’re not too old. Whoever you are.

  21. 51

    Women in their 50s get mistreated by men too. Women older than that get strung along too.  Young attractive women are not the worst off in the dating pool. That’s just ridiculous.
    I think you need to stop blaming society, your age, and your looks, and what you perceive men to be like.
    You are carrying a whole baggage of negative beliefs with you. You need to look at where that came from.  Go back, back, way back to the beginning.
    I was subjected to physical  abuse, emotional abuse and neglect as a child. My counsellor said it was one of the worst cases he had ever heard. It was no wonder that I couldn’t form relationships as an adult. I, too, thought it might have something to do with my beauty. But, ultimately, I did not know what love was, how to give it, how to receive it. So, one jacked up relationship after another.
    I’m not saying it’s the same for you, that’s just my story.  But no way are your relationship woes down to you being pretty.

    Mia #47: Evan has a whole post entirely devoted to the beautiful woman and how she is objectified and hotly pursued. Men just want to lay her. I.e., the beautiful woman, unless she is saavy and very careful, will be hounded by many men who just want to be able to say they scored with one.

    I really don’t think women feel that way about super handsome men…..  Groupies are a whole other category though.

    TomT #10: That’s my number one complaint with men- that they are fickle and shallow. With age and changing hormones, men can become more reflective and learn what truly matters in life and cherish it. Too many just neglect their inner world/spirituality. From what I’ve seen most men don’t mellow and get truly sentimental til their fifties. They just need to feel their mortality a little, and then suddenly they prize their wives more. My Dad was like that.

    Re age- I don’t see my age group acting like asses here. Maybe it’s a big city thing, not sure. I know older men will hit on younger girls sometimes to everyone’s discomfort probably. About the only thing I do that isn’t age appropriate is wear a miniskirt every once in a while, but I think (and ask those younger for their opinions) I can still carry it off. But read the other day even Jerry Hall, Jagger’s ex, won’t wear minis anymore ’cause she doesn’t think she has the legs for it. lol

    But what I feel is missing with Gen Xers and the Millenials is any sense of respecting the mature man or woman. Of wanting to tap that wisdom. I think true respect for those older stopped with my generation (boomer). In my teens and early 20s most of my most influential friends were women 4-8 years older. I listened to them and learned a LOT. I just don’t see much of that anymore- everyone is too buried in their peer/race/political groups from what I’ve seen.

  23. 53

    I am surprised that someone is upset because people think they look younger, so what? It doesn’t do any harm to anyone if you think you look younger than your age.  And it is possible that thinking that way actually can make someone more youthful.

    I was one of those people earlier who said I look younger than my 61 years.  I was at a live match event last night which was very interesting.  All of the men who I spoke with or interacted with were in their early 50’s and they told me, they thought I was 50. I didn’t ask them how old they thought I was because it is a question I don’t find necessary.  One man, who was a personal trainer and competitive body builder and I spent a long time talking.  Somewhere in the conversation he said “do you mind if I ask your age” I said, “I am 61″.  He was 53.  He stared at me with his mouth open for several minutes( yes the classic jaw drop) and finally said he couldn’t believe it because he thought I was 50.  I heard repeatedly through out the rest of our long conversation, how he couldn’t believe I was 61.

    What I learn from this experience and from questions I asked about why men don’t even search in the 60 and over age range for women on match, affirmed that it might not be the best venue for me to find someone.

    I was told that many men are responding to stereotypical thinking, that a women in her 60’s is , like MaryMary said, are almost dead.  We have to be boring, have no energy and no interest in sex.  One man felt that even if I email someone, in their 50’s, when they see my age, they might not even look at my profile.

    I don’t think those issues are limited to people in their 60’s and in fact it is a sign that someone is not taking care of themselves, physical, emotional and spiritual, that causes aging, lack of sex drive and loss of interest in life. It can happen at any age.

    I wonder what some of the other men on this thread think about what I was told about how men navigate singles sites, especially the men in their 50’s who are on Match or other singles sites.

  24. 54

    On the topic of lying about ages, I met an ex boyfriend at 33 when he was 25. He told me he was 27 and I believed him. I didn’t find out the truth until a few months later by which time I was head over heels. However, had I known the truth from the start, I would not have dated him as I already felt that a 6 year age gap was big. He lied because he thought I wouldn’t date him if I knew he was 25 but that was my prerogative. The consequences of all of this: at 35 when I was wanting to settle down and have a family, he at 27 was looking at a career change. A whole lot of pain and heartache (for me) could have been avoided by him telling the truth in the first place and leaving me free at 33 to find someone who wanted what I wanted instead of him lying about his age at first and later about his desire to marry me and have a family with me all of which kept me hanging on for longer than I should. At 37, now past the heartache of the break up, I have to deal with the heartache of being childless. In short, lying about age is unfair on the other person and I wouldn’t do it. If I told men I was 35 they would probably believe me but that would give a false and unfair impression of my fertility. I’d rather someone just accepted me as I am with the risks involved than trick them.

  25. 55

    @Fiona – so sorry for your heartbreak. It sounds like he lied about more than just his age unfortunately. I think lying about the other things were more detrimental though in the long run..had he only lied about his age first & not about wanting to marry you & have a family, it might have still worked. You still have time to have children. Totally unfair he set you back a few years with his lying, but everything happens for a reason & the right one will come along!  Keep the faith!

  26. 56

    I agree with Mia in that if you are attractive no one gives a shit.
    I just got a message this morning from a 40 year old who when I told him I was 53 basically said the same thing.

    I never claim to look 40 , 45 , 50 … I do that best with what Ive got to look like an  attractive physical sexual woman while looking elegant.

    I agree with Ellen that older peoples wisdom is not recognized these days I would have benefited greatly by an older woman mentor when I was in my 20s or 30s.
    As a health care professional I had the opportunity to talk at length with a few very old people who were an unassuming wealth of knowledge. I never had much access to my grandparents and perhaps these days this is common and so older people are seen as having no value.

  27. 57

    If being childless is such heartache, there are ways to have children that don’t involve getting married…

  28. 58

    Fiona 54- you stayed with him almost 2 years after finding out he was two year younger than he had first stated. I don’t know how you can blame the age change for what you experienced. He could have easily wanted a career change at 29 for the same reasons, and you could easily date someone for a year or two at any age and find out you don’t want the same things. Happens all the time.
    I don’t advocate lying about your age, and haven’t done it myself. But the idea that leaving a year or two off your age in either direction is some kind of terrible action is absurd. Age and maturity level are only somewhat correlated. And even with something like fertility, the difference between 35 and 37 is fairly minimal. In both cases, that window is moving towards a close, that’s all. The 35 year old might have a shorter window if other conditions aren’t optimal, while the 37 year old might have a longer window if she’s in excellent health and has a supportive genetic history.
    People get fixated on numbers, but the true picture is much more complicated than that. You could still be with this man and also be childless because of infertility, short term health conditions, or any number of other reasons. My point being that while age isn’t a completely arbitrary marker, it doesn’t really give anyone nearly enough information to make accurate judgments about someone.
    And thus you have all these quandaries about online dating. Because one of the main cut off frames is a very specific age criteria. Something that doesn’t happen when you meet someone in person. Not at first anyway. Your attraction or lack of attraction has nothing to do with the specific number. You have a ballpark figure in mind – this person is around my age – and that’s about it. There’s really nothing magical about turning 50 or turning 60, but to the computer generating lists of matches, those numbers make all the difference.

  29. 59

    Katelyn is right. I personally know a 62 yr.old woman who’s a friend of mines ex girl friend and she could easily pass for 49 or 50. She doesn’t do online dating, but let’s be realistic most men or woman aren’t in the shaving 7-10 yrs off category and are able to get away with it.

    For the record above ^^^^ I’m 51 and only shave off 3 yrs in my profile maikng me 48. It’s really not about the 3 yrs which I’ll never change. At this point for me it’s more about WOMEN’S perception of men  “over & under 50″ that I’m  dealing with more than my own insecurity. I happily email women my own age but I also get winks and emails from 56-58 yr.old women that aren’t even feminine or youthful looking and I think to myself “really”?….LOL When I turn 53 which will make me 50 online it will stay 50! :-)

  30. 60
    Karmic Equation

    I really like your posts and I feel for you on this. He was certainly wrong in lying to you and keeping you hanging, but you can’t be blameless as you ALWAYS had the power to walk away once you knew his age, head over heels or not. I know, this is easier said than done. But that’s the problem with us women…We don’t want to walk away because it would hurt us…and the guy wants to keep every thing the way it is because changing the status quo would hurt him. When you look at it this way, who really had the power? If you walked away, he would not have been able to keep the status quo.
    So when you hung in there, you ceded him the power to keep the relationship as the status quo. Having power and not exercising it (because it’s going to hurt) – is just as bad, if not worse, than biting the bullet and moving on in spite of the hurt. In the former you feel like a victim, in the latter you feel empowered. In both you are bound to be saddened.
    I wish you the best. My observations about isn’t meant to hurt. I just think we need to recognize the power we have and take responsibility SO THAT we know that our relationship-happiness is within our own control, and does not belong to any man. We just have to recognize, our power is to WALK AWAY. Not a great super power. But it is our power in a relationship.

Thomson Grass Valley Infinity Now Widely Available From North American Dealer Network
Posted Jul 14, 2008 Print Version     Page 1of 1

Thomson (Euronext Paris: 18453; NYSE: TMS), the worldwide leader in video solutions, announced today that its highly anticipated and increasingly popular Thomson Grass Valley™ Infinity Digital Media Camcorder (DMC) is now widely available from its certified broadcast equipment dealers and system integrators located across North America. Thomson brings an unparalleled level of training and support to its experienced resale channel to allow its partners to address the growing demand for Infinity.

Thomson’s dealers are fully trained on the features, benefits, functionality and workflows of this unique camcorder and many already have the demo equipment needed to work with their customers. Thomson’s dealers are ready to work with customers from all areas of the production community.

Representing the perfect complement to all types of file-based workflows, the Infinity camcorder uses a full 1920x1080, 2/3-inch Xensium™ CMOS imagers and Thomson Grass Valley REV PRO removable media as well as industry standard CompactFlash – in a variety of capacities and features. Infinity outperforms other ENG/EFP models and produces images rivaling broadcast & production camcorders costing much more. The Infinity DMC is switchable between HD and SD with format choices including 1080i, 720p, PAL and NTSC. This makes the Infinity DMC a cost-effective acquisition solution for a large number of applications that include news, sports, drama (episodics), documentaries, promotional, corporate, government, educational institutions, events & staging and houses of worship.

Many Infinity dealers worldwide have already begun to give customers hands-on demonstrations that focus on the Infinity DMC and the many advantages of its inherent file-based workflow. Customers that sign up for personal demo sessions with their local dealer receive special consideration, in terms of equipment availability and on-site training.

At NAB 2008, Thomson introduced the new Infinity DMC 1000/20, a high performance camcorder for ENG and EFP applications, which offers expanded recording capacity and improved performance over the previous generation via Thomson’s new REV PRO XP and ER disks. Other new additions to the Thomson Grass Valley Infinity product family include the new Infinity Digital Media Recorder (DMR) that records and plays back material shot with the Infinity DMC 1000/20 and stored on REV PRO XP and ER disks. The Infinity DMR will also record and play back material from other external sources including cameras and Non-Linear Editors such as the Thomson Grass Valley EDIUS and Aurora NLE tools.

Diagnosis of a brain tumor or spinal cord tumor is scary and overwhelming. More than any other question, the one likely to be racing through your mind is, "Am I going to survive?" Doctors call this your prognosis, the likely course and outcome of your brain tumor disease.

Several factors will determine your brain tumor prognosis, including the type, stage, and grade of your brain tumor.

Brain Tumor: Type

Your prognosis is determined in part by the type of brain tumor you have. Some tumors are benign, meaning they are the least aggressive form and are unlikely to spread to other parts of the body.

Indeed, of the more than 120 types of brain tumors, most never spread to other parts of the body.

Other brain tumors are malignant, the most aggressive form of tumor.

Brain Tumors: Stage and Grade

Staging is the process of finding out how much cancer there is and where it is located. Knowing this helps your doctor plan treatment and determine prognosis. Brain tumors in the same stage usually have similar rates of survival and are often treated similarly.

But brain cancers are different than other types of cancer. For most other types of cancer, staging is based on:

  • The tumor's size
  • Whether it has grown
  • Whether the tumor has spread to the lymph nodes
  • Whether the tumors have spread to other parts of the body

Brain tumors, however, disrupt vital brain and body functions before they ever begin to spread, simply because of where they are located. For this reason, they cannot be staged in the same way.

Most doctors follow the guidelines established by the World Health Organization to identify brain tumors. One factor is how aggressive the tumor is, another is where the brain tumor started. Together, these factors help your doctor determine the grade of the tumor.

In addition to staging, "grading" plays a role in determining your prognosis. A pathologist, someone specially trained to diagnose and identify diseases using lab tests, grades your tumor tissue — as compared to normal tissue — under a microscope. Tumors with more abnormal-looking cells usually grow and spread faster. They have a higher grade and worse prognosis. Grade 1 tumors have the best outlook; grade 4 tumors have the worst.

Brain Tumor: What Else Affects My Prognosis?

The type, stage, grade, and location of the tumor all affect prognosis. Other considerations are:

  • Age
  • General health
  • How long you had symptoms before the tumor was diagnosed
  • How the tumor has affected your ability to function
  • The type of treatment and how extensive it will be

Some brain tumors, even though they are malignant, can be cured by radiation. Others are benign by nature but can be deadly based on their location in the brain.

Your doctor will do everything possible to give you an accurate prognosis, but keep in mind that prognosis means "prediction." At best, it’s an educated guess about the future course of your brain tumor.

Great Grandma Sara’s Banana Bread

2010 April 21
by Alicia

The smell of this bread warms my heart… just like a family recipe should.  Serve this banana bread warm with butter, and you are in for a special treat!

Banana Bread

Might I add that a certain 13.5-month-old can’t seem to get enough of it?  Well, my son would probably eat the whole loaf if I let him!

A simple collection of ingredients:

What You Need

The bananas must be very ripe.  They shouldn’t have any tinge of green or firmness.  Banana Bread is a perfect use for bananas which have been forgotten about.  Did you know monkeys peel bananas from the end which doesn’t connect to the bunch?  It keeps the strings from the peel from sticking to the fruit inside.  Try it!

Begin by mixing the shortening and sugar.  Blend it until the shortening becomes fluffy and the sugar is well incorporated.

Sugar & Shortening

Add the eggs and bananas.  I blend up the eggs a little with my hand mixer in the bowl before combining them with the shortening/sugar and bananas.  Also, I like to have tiny chunks of bananas in the bread, so I just break it in smaller chunks rather than mashing them before adding to the bowl.

Almost There

Next, add the flour, baking soda, and salt.  Mix just until blended.  Then stir it by hand a few times.  If you overmix quick breads (or muffins) the texture won’t be quite right.  The tops will peak too much, and they’ll be tough and chewy.

Batter Up!

Spread into a greased loaf pan.  I like to sprinkle a fine layer of sugar on the batter at this point.  Personally, I think the extra sweetness of the top crust makes it just that much better.  If you have turbinado sugar, or another coarse sugar, all the better!

Getting Ready to Bake

Bake it for about an hour.  I always end up baking it closer to 1 hour 10 minutes.  Cover any parts that are browning too much with foil.  Test the bread for doneness with a toothpick: insert it near the center, remove, and check for batter.  If you see batter, it’s not done yet.  If it just has a few crumbs on it, it is ready!

Banana Bread

Let it cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.  Storing quick breads can be tricky.  They can be stored in plastic bags, or wrapped with plastic wrap.  The bread must be completely cooled, as any warmth will create condensation in the container and spoil the bread.  If you store the bread unprotected, it will dry out much too quickly.  Any tips you can offer for better storage of quick breads and muffins are appreciated by all!

I hope you enjoy this bread as much as I do!

    For storing muffins, I place them in tupper-ware and keep in the fridge. They store for a long time. Still, I’ve never tried storing a bread this way, so I’m not sure how well that would work!

 One Of The Most Prominent Supporters Of Muslim Creationism Visited France

The Evolution Deceit

One Of The Most Prominent Supporters Of Muslim Creationism Visited France

The French Catholic newspaper La Croix, one of the most important Catholic newspapers of France, devoted a place to a news item about a conference tour held by Harun Yahya"s representatives in France in its January 31st, 2012 edition. In the item titled “One of the Most Prominent Supporters of Muslim Creationism Visited France”, it was noted that conferences organized in Evry, Drancy, Villejuif, Sapin, Elboeuf and UOIF mosques and especially fossil exhibitions had drawn great interest from the Muslim community. The defeat of the theory of evolution in the face of science was also mentioned in the presentations where it was noted that atheism faced great destruction in the 20th century, and the 21st century will be the century of faith.

In addition, the effect of the Atlas of Creation, which was sent to all of the most important organizations and individuals of Europe in 2007, was mentioned as well. In the item, it was also pointed out that the conferences were announced on prominent billboards on the Champs-Elysées and it was of the utmost importance that conferences were organized at Theatre du Gymnase Marie Bell, which was one of the most important and oldest theaters in Paris.

"Adnan Oktar, the leader of the Turkish organization working under the name Harun Yahya, held a conference tour in France… The conference was about these topics: End of Atheism, Beginning of the Era of Faith; The Molecular Collapse of Evolution; The Miracles of the Qur’an

Together with every conference, the fossils that are exactly the same as their living examples today were displayed. It was told that these fossils proved that living beings were created by Allah and have not changed for millions of years… Conferences were announced with posters even on Champs-Elysées… ASN France organization, which is the French branch of Harun Yahya, organized a conference even at the theatre of Gymnase in Paris.”

Rick James faces felony charges | EW.com

Rick James faces felony charges

Rick James faces felony charges -- The singer gets charged with sexual assault and torturing a woman with a hot cocaine pipe

When Rick James and his girlfriend, Tanya Anne Hijazi, 21, were arrested Aug. 2 on a litany of felony charges ranging from sexual assault to torturing a woman with a hot cocaine pipe, many who know him weren’t shocked. The self-proclaimed ”king of punk-funk” sold more than 15 million albums in the late ’70s and early ’80s by mixing hard funk with a streetwise sexual bravura. But acquaintances say the singer had been on a downward spiral for years.

”Rick is a chameleon with a lot of different sides to his personality — and most of them aren’t nice,” says JoAnne Funderburg, who as JoAnne McDuffie provided lead vocals for the Mary Jane Girls, a popular funk group created, promoted, and produced by James in the mid-’80s. Funderburg claims the group members were never paid royalties for their work. ”Slaves were treated better,” she says.

James, 39, was dropped by his label, Warner Bros. Records, just weeks before his arrest. Although he made a small fortune last year when M.C. Hammer’s ”U Can’t Touch This” — a rap based on James’ 1981 ”Super Freak (Part 1)” riff — became a hit, a new James LP slated for release last spring had been shelved at the last minute. A Warner insider cited ambiguous ”personal reasons” and ”concerns over production quality” for the rejection.

James, who had signed a recording deal with Motown Records in the late ’70s, got his first break in 1978 with the top 20 single ”You and I.” The success brought him a seven-figure income, but he once estimated he blew $1 million on ”cars, wine, women, and booze.” One year later, he was deeply in debt and suffering from hepatitis. Yet despite James’ vices, his star continued to rise during the early ’80s, when albums like the multiplatinum Street Songs and its infectious single, ”Super Freak,” put him in the same stratum as Michael Jackson and Prince. But while Jackson traded on his eccentricity and Prince promoted raw sexuality, James courted an image as a druggy macho man.

”You smoke a joint and write a song, and the next thing you know you’ve got a check in the mail,” he told People magazine back in 1982. James also named his Buffalo home studio ”Le Joint” and puffed grass onstage at Madison Square Garden in 1983. But as rowdy as he appeared in concert, his life-style offstage was said to be far more outrageous.

”After ‘Super Freak’ hit big, Motown rented Rick a huge Spanish-style villa off (L.A.’s) Coldwater Canyon,” says a former business associate. ”It was Drug City. There were pipes and bongs everywhere, and women in all shapes, sizes, and colors were running through the place. I never saw him without a joint in one hand and a bottle of champagne in the other.”

Eventually, however, the party came to a crashing halt. In and out of detox, James found it difficult to clean up his act. He refused to take the emerging rap phenomenon seriously and soon found his brand of funk being passed over. In addition, James and Motown executives butted heads over his career.

The showdown between James and Motown reached its climax in 1986, when the label sued for breach of contract after he was late turning in a new Mary Jane Girls album. James countersued, accusing Motown of stiffing him on royalties and advances. Court documents provided a startling look at James’ life-style, including the Motown claim that James had freebased thousands of dollars’ worth of cocaine a week.

Two years after leaving Motown, James signed with Warner. Finally caving in to hip-hop in 1988, James hit No. 1 on the R&B singles charts with ”Loosey’s Rap.” He talked about forsaking drugs and said he was free of the coke addiction that he admitted had cost him $15,000 a week. Yet his comeback bid fell short, culminating in an embarrassing performance in a highly touted show at Harlem’s Apollo theater. And, finally, the financial windfall from Hammer’s hit wasn’t enough to turn the tide in James’ life. ”I was surprised, but not real surprised by his arrest,” says Funderburg. ”With all the things he’s done over the years, this latest incident is just karma working its way around.”

An American Prayer

Genre: Reissues; Lead Performer: Jim Morrison

He’s hot, he’s sexy, he’s undead. This week Elektra is issuing, for the first time on compact disc, Jim Morrison and the Doors’ An American Prayer. Originally released in 1978, seven years after Jimbo’s fatal nod-out in a bathtub, the album set Morrison’s poems, ramblings, and ruminations (even one of his phone calls) to newly recorded backing tracks by the surviving members of the Doors. The new CD comes with three bonus tracks; for one, an extended version of ”The Ghost Song,” the band has re-formed again to provide all-new, 1995 musical accompaniment to Morrison’s wanna-verse (”We need great golden copulations”).

Starting with Hank Williams and continuing through Buddy Holly and Jimi Hendrix, dead rock and pop stars have occasionally had their work altered posthumously. If you hear any Hank recordings with drums, for instance, be wary — he never had a drummer in his band. Four years ago, the trend was legitimized, if that’s the right word, when Natalie Cole sang along with her father Nat, who had been dead for 25 years.

The difference between the early days of musical grave-robbing and the current wave is that scurrilous producers and cynical record execs aren’t the ones behind it: It’s the musicians themselves. The three surviving Beatles have kept their lawyers at bay long enough to augment at least two unfinished John Lennon songs that will be part of a five-hour Beatles TV special and soundtrack slated for year’s end. Meanwhile, the members of Queen are reportedly compiling a rarities album for which the band is adding new backings for never-released Freddie Mercury vocals. When Bob Seger sang ”rock & roll never forgets,” he never quite envisioned the consequences.

Certainly, the presence of the ex-Beatles or Doors lends a sense of legitimacy to these projects that they wouldn’t otherwise have. And judging from the Doors track, with its smoothly integrated mix of circa-1970 Morrison musings and the band’s well-preserved snake-charmer cabaret rock, they will no doubt be seamless technological wonders. One could also argue that this wizardry of engineering is in keeping with the very illusory nature of the record-making process, which creates the impression that musicians are all playing in the same room at the same time — which is often not the case at all.

But none of those excuses makes the idea any less ghoulish than it was three decades ago. Or any less worthless: Posthumous records are almost always bad or plain unlistenable. Even when it was first released, An American Prayer was a minor footnote to the Doors’ career. The same holds true today; Prayer is primarily for those who place great weight on Jim Morrison intoning couplets like ”Peace on earth/Will you die for me?/Eat me/This way/The end” to the tip-toe-lightly jazzbo noodlings of Ray Manzarek, John Densmore, and Robby Krieger.

Still, this trend opens up a whole new coffin door of possibilities. The record business is eternally cynical and exploitive; in a way, that’s part of its charm. Classic rock has, unfortunately, been the benefactor of much of that cynicism, from Dylan songs used in commercials to over-the-top boxed sets. Yet now that everything’s been reissued and played to death, is reviving our favorite dead stars the next and last step to breathing new, er, life into classic rock? If you thought that hearing the Beatles’ slight Live at the BBC made you moist-eyed, wait until you hear a reincarnated John Lennon! One can only hope for more integrity-driven artists like bluegrass queen Alison Krauss, who recently nixed having her version of the late Keith Whitley’s ”When You Say Nothing at All” spliced together with Whitley’s original recording.

Since the Queen or Beatles ”reunions” won’t be heard for at least a few more months, final judgment will have to wait. I’ll try to listen with open-minded ears, but maybe this is one area where musicians should rest in some sort of musical peace. C

Kathy Bates wanted to dedicate her Emmy to Robin Williams

Kathy Bates 02

(Vince Bucci/AP)

Following Monday’s big Emmys tribute to Robin Williams, Kathy Bates revealed backstage that she had wanted to dedicate her Emmy win to the late comedian. She ended up being too nervous on stage to express that message. “I really wanted to say, ‘I won this time. This is for you,’” Bates said, before recalling a run-in with the comedian that had a huge impact on her.

“When I won my first major award for Misery—a Golden Globe—it was before cell phones, and I was waiting at a pay phone to call my mother afterward. And I didn’t have a quarter,” Bates said backstage, after her surprise win in the Outstanding Supporting Actress for a Miniseries or a Movie category for American Horror Story: Coven. “I turned around and asked if anyone had a quarter to call my mom. Robin stepped up and said, ‘Here’s a quarter.’ I never forgot that kindness.”

Bates then recalled losing to Judi Dench at the Oscars in 1998—an award that Williams presented. “He came to me on the commercial break and said, ‘I really wish I could have read your name. Are you okay? I know what it’s like to lose.’”

Williams, who suffered from depression, committed suicide earlier this month.

Amazon Web Services Launches Redshift Data Warehouse in the Cloud

By Darryl K. Taft  |  Posted 2012-11-28

Amazon Web Services Launches Redshift Data Warehouse in the Cloud

Amazon Web Services has announced the limited preview of Amazon Redshift, its new data warehouse in the cloud.

Amazon said its new petabyte-scale data warehouse service in the cloud provides a fast and powerful solution that increases the speed of query performance when users are analyzing virtually any size data set, using the same SQL-based business intelligence tools they use today.

With just a few clicks in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Management Console, customers can launch a Redshift cluster, starting with a few hundred gigabytes and scaling to a petabyte or more, for less than $1,000 per terabyte per year--one tenth the price of most data warehousing solutions available to customers today, AWS officials said.

AWS announced Redshift at its re:Invent user conference in Las Vegas Nov. 28. The re:Invent conference is AWS' first-ever user conference. The event, which runs Nov. 27 to 29, is a gathering of customers, partners, developers and others who make up the AWS ecosystem.

"Over the past two years, one of the most frequent requests we've heard from customers is for AWS to build a data warehouse service," Raju Gulabani, vice president of database services at AWS, said in a statement. "Enterprises are tired of paying such high prices for their data warehouses, and smaller companies can't afford to analyze the vast amount of data they collect--often throwing away 95 percent of their data. This frustrates customers as they know the cloud has made it easier and less expensive than ever to collect, store, and analyze data.

"Amazon Redshift not only significantly lowers the cost of a data warehouse, but also makes it easy to analyze large amounts of data very quickly," Gulabani said. "While actual performance will vary based on each customers' specific query requirements, our internal tests have shown over 10 times performance improvement when compared to standard relational data warehouses. Having the ability to quickly analyze petabytes of data at a low cost changes the game for our customers."

AWS officials noted that self-managed, on-premise data warehouses require significant time and resource to administer, especially for large data sets. Loading, monitoring, tuning, taking backups and recovering from faults are complex and time-consuming tasks. And the financial cost associated with building, maintaining, and growing traditional data warehouses is high.

However, larger companies have resigned themselves to paying such a high cost for data warehousing, while smaller companies often find the hardware and software costs prohibitively expensive, leaving most of these organizations without a data warehousing capability. Amazon Redshift is aimed at all these users, the company said. Amazon Redshift manages all the work needed to set up, operate and scale a data warehouse, from provisioning capacity to monitoring and backing up the cluster, to applying patches and upgrades. Scaling a cluster to improve performance or increase capacity on Amazon Redshift is simple and incurs no downtime, while the service continuously monitors the health of the cluster and automatically replaces any component needed.

Amazon Web Services Launches Redshift Data Warehouse in the Cloud

Amazon Redshift is also priced cost effectively to enable larger companies to reduce their costs substantially and smaller companies to take advantage of the analytic insights that come from using a powerful data warehouse.

Amazon Redshift uses a number of techniques, including columnar data storage, advanced compression, and high-performance IO and network, to achieve significantly higher performance than traditional databases for data warehousing and analytics workloads. By distributing and parallelizing queries across a cluster of inexpensive nodes, Amazon Redshift makes it easy to obtain high performance without requiring customers to hand-tune queries, maintain indices or pre-compute results.

In addition, Amazon Redshift is certified by popular business intelligence tools, including Jaspersoft and MicroStrategy. More than 20 customers, including Flipboard, NASA/JPL, Netflix and Schumacher Group, are in the Amazon Redshift private beta program.

"At Netflix, we deliver personalized recommendations for our millions of subscribers by analyzing large volumes of data, and are always looking for ways to improve our service," Kurt Brown, director of the Data Science & Engineering Platform at Netflix, said in a statement. "We're very excited about the cost-disruptive and cloud-based model of Amazon Redshift. It's sure to shake up the data warehousing industry."

The technology also helps NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory run its data warehouse in the cloud.

"We are excited about being able to use this new service to take our cloud usage even farther and run a large-scale data warehouse in the cloud for our engineering, science and IT data," Tom Soderstrom, CTO in the Office of the CIO at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, said in a statement. "This new service will also allow us to create new types of big data analytics that will lead to new discoveries."

Meanwhile, Amazon demonstrates that it uses its own technology internally to run its retail operation.

"The Amazon Enterprise Data Warehouse manages petabytes of data for every group at Amazon," said Erik Selberg, manager of the Amazon.com data warehouse team. "We are seeing significant performance improvements leveraging Amazon Redshift over our current multimillion dollar data warehouse.

"Some multi-hour queries finish in under an hour, and some queries that took five to 10 minutes on our current data warehouse are now returning in seconds with Amazon Redshift. Early estimates show the cost of Amazon Redshift will be well under one-tenth the cost of our existing solution. Amazon Redshift is providing us with a cost-effective way to scale with our growing data analysis needs," he said.

Amazon Redshift includes technology components licensed from ParAccel and is available with two underlying node types, including either 2 terabytes or 16 terabytes of compressed customer data per node. One cluster can scale up to 100 nodes and on-demand pricing starts at just $0.85 per hour for a 2-terabyte data warehouse, scaling linearly up to a petabyte and more. Reserved-instance pricing lowers the effective price to $0.228 per hour or under $1,000 per terabyte per year, the company said.

The Jekyll Island Club Hotel is a truly landmark experience shaped and nurtured by more than 100 years of devotion to service. Here, on an unhurried island off Georgia's colonial coast, awaits a world of compelling contrasts and perfect balances: old and new.

Nestled on a barrier island off the Georgia coast, the Club opened in 1888 as a hunting retreat for America's wealthy elite. Here, millionaires wintered until the onset of World War II, and the property was abandoned. A restoration in 1986 revealed the club's original beauty and elegance.

You choose the tempo and textures of the Jekyll Island Club Hotel experience. Select from accommodations in five distinctively different settings; enjoy an array of dining venues; and delight in superb recreation from croquet on the resort grounds to horseback rides on the beach, and from championship golf to charter fishing. At the Jekyll Island Club Hotel, there is only one true definition of a landmark experience: Yours.

Tottenham set to bid for Brazilian striker Alexandre Pato

TOTTENHAM are lining up a move for Corinthians forward Alexandre Pato, following a missed penalty which cost the team a place in the Brazilian Cup semi-finals.

Alexandre Pato under fire at Corinthians Alexandre Pato under-fire at Corinthians [GETTY]

Tottenham attempted to sign Pato in the summer, but the the Brazil international was committed to staying in his native country and turned down the opportunity to join the Premier League.

The 24-year-old, nicknamed 'the duck', switched to Corinthians in January as AC Milan decided to cut their losses on the injury-prone forward for €15 million, and Pato revealed that Spurs tried to bring him to White Hart Lane on transfer deadline day.

"I received offers, they called Corinthians, sent a fax, to sign me in the window, but I sat down with the staff, talked with my agent and I told them I wanted to stay," he told Sportv at the time.

If Pato was to move to the north London outfit, he would join fellow countrymen Sandro and Paulinho - who signed from Corinthians in the summer window for £17million - in the first-team.

Mario GobbiMario Gobbi looking to offload Pato [GETTY]

Club president Mario Gobbi has revealed that he is prepared to get rid of any deadwood in his side, in light of Pato's penalty miss in the Brazilian Cup quarter final shoot-out, which has reignited Tottenham's interest.

Those who can’t give more, we have to change.

Mario Gobbi

"Clearly the duck hit it badly, but the blame is not his alone. We know he can give more.

"Those who can’t give more, we have to change," added Gobbi.

It's safe to say that Pato hasn't made the impact that was expected of him, having only scored eight times in 23 outings.

Andre Villas-Boas is understood to be in the market for new striker, with the ageing Jermain Defoe, out-of-favour Emmanuel Adebayor and a Roberto Soldado lacking in goals, despite scoring at the weekend, currently his options.

Iowa Learning Farms to Host Four Cover Crop Field Days in September

AMES, IOWA—Iowa Learning Farms is hosting four cover crop field days this September. Each event will have a different aspect of this conservation farming practice. ILF field days are open to the public and include speakers who are experts on the field day topic as well as local farmers who are using the conservation practice.

Iowa Learning Farm field days are an opportunity for farmers to talk with other farmers and experts to gain knowledge leading to the adoption of conservation practices.

Tuesday, Sept. 9, 5-7 p.m.; Seth Watkins farm, Taylor County

Seth Watkins is using cover crops and has planted perennial prairie strips within his cash crop fields. He will talk about using both of these practices for soil health and reducing erosion. Also speaking are Iowa State University assistant professor and pollinator expert Mary Harris, ISU agriculture specialist and prairie plant expert Tim Youngquist, and NRCS District Conservationist Doug Davenport. A complimentary meal is included, with Taylor County Cattlemen at the grill.

Wednesday, Sept. 10, 5:30-7:30 p.m.; Bio-Renewables Field Day at the University of Iowa miscanthus test plot, Iowa City

Join landowner Dan Black and Emily Heaton, Iowa State University assistant professor of agronomy, at this field day as they discuss the University of Iowa’s Miscanthus Pilot Project. The project is exploring the use of this grass as a biofuel on the UI campus. Ben Anderson of the UI Power Plant will explain how miscanthus is being used in its solid fuel boilers.  Enjoy a meal prepared by the Johnson County Cattlemen.

Friday, Sept. 12, 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.; Titan Machinery, Williams

Adding cover crops to a cash crop rotation is the emphasis at this field day, co-sponsored by Farm Bureau. Iowa State University associate professor of agricultural and biosystems engineering and extension agricultural engineer Matt Helmers will talk about the benefits of adding cover crops and the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy. Also, hear from an area farmer who is incorporating cover crops.

Wednesday, Sept. 17, 12-2 p.m.; Dennis Lundy farm, Adair County

This field day will explore ways to add cover crops and also no-tilling alfalfa following wheat through extended crop rotations. Host farmer Dennis Lundy and his neighbor Wendell Zimmerman will share how they are using cover crops on their farms. Although they are using them in different ways, both farmers are reducing soil erosion and increasing soil health. Iowa Water Center Director and ISU Agronomy Professor Rick Cruse will discuss erosion in Iowa’s fields and how cover crops and other practices can reduce this problem. Enjoy a meal prepared by the Adair County Cattlemen.

RSVP encouraged
All field days are free and include a complimentary meal, but an RSVP is encouraged. To RSVP to any of the field days, contact Iowa Learning Farms, 515-294-8912 or via email: to be included in the meal count.
