OMG... my last post was Feb 14th!!!
This will be an update so beware of a long post!
Lots of things happened that kept me out of blog land a couple of months... work most of them, a visit to my country after seven years, time well spent with family, personal issues hard to solve (life is never easy...) and added to all of this a completely lack of inspiration. I hope that breaking this inertia will help me to start creating again since it has a therapeutic effect on me and right now I really need it.
Do you want me to share a few pictures with you? sorry if not! I was going to post them anyway but it´s polite to ask first ☺
Work first because it´s what took most of my time, first picture of my poster presentation in Baltimore, MD (my first time in that beautiful city) and the second one me giving a scary talk at a scientific meeting in Budapest, Hungary (another beautiful city!)
Next serie of pictures are from my trip to my country: Argentina. How I missed the beauty of the plains! gorgeous place...
La Pampa plains
My beautiful niece Sofia turned 15 this year, and she is turning into a nice and beautiful lady, isn´t she gorgeous?!!
and we celebrated it with a huge party! Here are a few of them just about to leave to the party and some at the party itself. My sister Daniela made Sofia´s party dress all by herself and hers too!! she is so good at sewing, both dresses looked amazing! click on them to enlarge ☺
Sofia, the party girl!

Sofia´s mom (my sister Daniela) and brother (Facundo)
 Brother and sister: Facundo and Sofia

Rosa (my mom), me and my little sister Popi
Me and sweetheart having fun
Me, my brother Jorge and his girlfriend Erica, and my sweetheheart
And I got to help with a few things for the party: party invites (you can see them in this post) and place cards with the name of each person invited to the party. I didn´t have any of my craft supplies but I managed to do something: I made two different kind of flowers using scraps of the fabric my sister used to make my niece´s dress
everybody helped here: my sister Popy glued the manes in place, my mom made the leaves you see behind the flowers and I put it all together. A picture of the before and after (me celebrating I finished them just in time, whoo hoo!)
Here is how they looked on the tables
And to finish a week of complete madness before the party, my sweet sister Daniela ask me 10 minutes before she was leaving for a wedding party to make a card for the newlywed couple. My first reaction was: WHAT???!!!
this is what I created for her
a very simple card, sorry about the picture... it looked better in real life, the image is from Beccy and I colored it with colored pencils (my sister has a gorgeous collection of them and that helped a lot), no glitter, no ribbon... we wrote a nice sentiment on the inside and off to the party she went!
Thank you for stopping by, I hope I can start creating again and sharing them with you because looks like I´m missing all the fun! have a great day and a Happy Easter!☺

grandmalee said...

I see that I'm not the only one that's been MIA! I love seeing all of the family pictures here. I see that you aren't the only one in the family that has such awesome talent! Your niece looks fabulous along with her mother...gorgeous dresses! You are so lucky to be able to travel with your job (although you probably think differently when you miss things at home). I love MD even though it's been over a decade since I've been there. Argentina reminds me of my native Ohio with big open farm fields (I lived around tons of Amish families). YOur card and place cards are divine! You make the CAS look stunning!!! Glad you're back!!!

T. S. Eliot: the invention of a poetic self and voice

Thanks to Christopher Ricks (Inventions of The March Hare, Poems  1909-1917), we can now read the unpublished poems that preceded Preludes, The Love Song Of J. Alfred Prufrock, and the other poems that appeared for the first time in Eliot's first book, Prufrock And Other Observations (1917). [Not 'poems', mind you, but the ironic "observations": Eliot's first readers could not say that they had not been warned.]

Eliot was interested, from the first, in trying to see what he could make of the urban landscape—not romanticized (or etherealized) as in Wordsworth's early morning view of London from West-
Minster Bridge— but presented, shoved in front of us,  in all its ugly reality. I will show you several of these "caprices" as Eliot calls some of them (a musical term like 'preludes').

First Caprice in North Cambridge

A street-piano, garrulous and frail;
The yellow evening flung against the panes
Of dirty windows: and the distant strains
Of children's voices, ended in a wail.

Bottles and broken glass,
Trampled mud and grass;
A heap of broken barrows;
And a crowd of tattered sparrows
Delve in the gutter with sordid patience.

Oh, these minor considerations! . . . . .

Second Caprice in North Cambridge

This charm of vacant lots!
The helpless fields that lie
Sinister, sterile and blind—
Entreat the eye and rack the mind,
Demand your pity.
With ashes and tins in piles,
Shattered bricks and tiles
And the debris of a city.

Far from our definitions
And our esthetic laws
Let us pause
With these fields that hold and rack the brain
(What: again?)
With  an unexpected charm
And an unexplained repose
On an evening in December
Under a sunset yellow and rose.

Interlude In London

We hibernate among the bricks
And live across the window panes
With marmalade and tea at six
Indifferent to what the wind does
Indifferent to sudden rains
Softening last years garden plots

And apathetic, with cigars
Careless, while down the street the spring goes
Inspiring mouldy flowerpots,
And broken flutes at garret windows.

Along the city streets,
It is still high tide,
Yet the garrulous waves of life
Shrink and divide
With a thousand incidents
Vexed and debated:—
This is the hour for which we waited—

This is the ultimate hour
When life is justified.
The seas of experience
That were so broad and deep,
So immediate and steep,
Are suddenly still.
You may say what you will,
At such peace I am terrified.
There is nothing else beside.

Pretty good for a 20 or 21 year-old kid, we might say. When we read the poem that these poems were working towards, however, we can see why Eliot might have wanted to make sure that they would never be published. The poem that Eliot really wanted to write is Preludes, a poem that not only anticipates The Wasteland but in my (minority) opinion is superior to it—and less pretentious.

The winter evening settles down
With smell of steaks in passageways.
Six o'clock.
The burnt-out ends of smoky days.
And now a gusty shower wraps
The grimy scraps
Of withered leaves about your feet
And newspapers from vacant lots;
The showers beat
On broken blinds and chimney-pots,
And at the corner of the street
A lonely cab-horse steams and stamps.

And then the lighting of the lamps.

The morning comes to consciousness
Of faint stale smells of beer
From the sawdust-trampled street
With all its muddy feet that press
To early coffee-stands.

With the other masquerades
That time resumes,
One thinks of all the hands
That are raising dingy shades
In a thousand furnished rooms.

You tossed the blanket from the bed,
You lay upon your back and waited;
You dozed, and watched the night revealing
The thousand sordid images;
Of which your soul was constituted
They flickered against the ceiling.
And when all the world came back
And the light crept up between the shutters
And you heard the sparrows in the gutters,
You had such a vision of the street
As the street hardly understands;
Sitting along the bed's edge, where
You curled the papers from your hair,
Or clasped the yellow soles of feet
In the palms of both soiled hands.

His soul stretched across the skies
That fade behind a city block,
Or trampled by insistent feet
At four and five and six o'clock;
And short square fingers stuffing pipes,
And evening newspapers, and eyes
Assured of certain certainties,
The conscience of a blackened street
Impatient to assume the world.

I am moved by fancies that are curled
Around these images and cling:
The notion of some infinitely gentle
Infinitely suffering thing.

Wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh;
The worlds revolve like ancient women
Gathering fuel in vacant lots.

Eliot wrote a small number of great poems, but never anything greater than this. Prufrock, which seems to have been written before Preludes, is wonderful for the way it uses the urban materials and insights of the former poem for comic rather than tragic effect. The world of Prufrock is neither as desperate or as sad as that other poem had brilliantly forced us to see it. Did it ever occur to Eliot when he came to write The Wasteland that he had already written it?—but without the pompous notes, shallow anthropology and—most of all (from my point of view) the Christian allegorizing.

Many of the poems that Eliot published in 1917 and 1920 strike me (and not only me, I suppose) as either trivial ("Aunt Helen" or "Cousin Nancy" for example) or pursuing some mostly private symbolism, as in the Sweeney poems, or "Whispers of Immortality." The mystery is, how such a private, deliberately obscure, writer of a handful of poems could have become, so widely acclaimed as a great poet? (A similar question could be asked about Wallace Stevens.)

Here are some poem that, in addition to Preludes and Prufrock some poems that I keep coming back to: two poems about heartlessness: Portrait of A Lady and La Figlia che Piange.

I also like Rhapsody on a Windy Night, which seems to be about another kind of failure—the failure, perhaps, of someone from the world described in Preludes—to escape or even to change his or her desperately regimented and impoverished life; that person might even be Prufrock himself. I also like Marina and Burnt Norton (probably—in the case of the latter poem— because of that Rose Garden full of children which the poet can never recover.)

It may, I know, be very old fashioned, even a trifle vulgar, to like poems that make connections between art and life. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who feels that way.

You can see why Eliot despised the poetry and novels of Thomas Hardy.

  1. Howdy I am so thrilled I found your blog, I really found you by error, while
    I was researching on Askjeeve for something else, Anyways I am here now and would just like to say kudos for
    a tremendous post and a all round exciting blog (I also
    love the theme/design), I don’t have time to browse it
    all at the moment but I have book-marked it and also included your RSS feeds, so when I have
    time I will be back to read much more, Please do keep up the superb jo.
    Feel free to visit my website : Byretech Easi-fit Screen Seal

  2. One of my readers asks me if the anti-semitic attitude that we find in such a poem as "Burbank With a Baedeker: Bleistein With a Cigar" could be implicit in Eliot's Christianity. Obviously the answer is yes—antisemitism was certainly an integral part of European Christianity in the 1920's and 30's—especially in Germany. I couldn't print this question because a spammer had somehow got hold of it and had hitched a ride on it.

Trust Issues: A Magical Note

1:20 pm May 29, 2012

When she first introduces herself to me, I can see my suspicion.

My eyes widen, my legs tighten, and my breath shortens. I don’t know her, so I don’t trust her.

Until I do…

Until we have our first 3-hour conversation about coffee, sushi, rainbows, Kettle potato chips, Metro buses, and the deliciousness of Mexican street corn at the coffee shop where we met.

Until we go on a weekend road trip and stop by farmers’ markets and bargain for already cheap fruits, vegetables, and jam, and then drive 100mph up the Pacific Coast Highway with the sky roof open singing at the top of our lungs.

Until I learn a little bit more about her character, I learn she can sing and she writes the song lyrics on the wall, she gets lost driving just so she can find her own way back home, and how she hates when people touch her, but loves to hold my hand.

Until then I won’t trust her…

And when I do, how much would I trust her, enough to give her my smile, my heart?

I was fine before I met her. And I’ll be fine if she’s gone.

The question then: Will I close my eyes, hold her hand, and leap or not?

Either way I’ll be fine. When I get that straight, my trust issues end.

Unique LA

10:30 am May 10, 2011

Whew, it’s been a whirlwind of shows for Alter Ego.  I am officially a jet-setter!  Direct from a successful stint at Accessories The Show, I was back home and setting up a booth at Unique LA before I could say “in a New York minute.”

Unique LA thrives on individualism, believes in community, and loves showing off local, independent designers and artists.  So, of course I ad to be there!  Always encouraging folks to buy local and shop unique, they turned out an exciting couple of days with LA’s hottest designers, DIY workshops, and plenty of drinks + food trucks {yummm}.  Alter Ego was a hit, and I can’t wait to do the show again!  In fact, I even made a little friend while I was there.  Check out the owl on my shoulder…{Too cute!}  Now, which Looney Tunes necklace could I accessorize this lil’ guy with?

Ashlan Nebula
General information

Unknown Regions[1]

Order of the Whills[1]

The Ashlan Nebula was a nebula situated in the Unknown Regions. It was also the location of the pocket dimension Ashlan Four, the location of the Order of the Whills starting in 99,945 BBY. The first known mentioning of the Ashlan Nebula came in the Prophecy of the Whills in which a holy man stated that the Order of the Jedi Bendu would lead a race of wisdom called the Whills from their homeworld so they could "dwell in the light of the Ashlan Nebula" and record the history of the galaxy.[1]

Years later, the Whills followed the Jedi Bendu to Ashlan Four in 99,945 BBY after leaving their homeworld of Brodo Asogi,[2] and when they arrived they fulfilled the prophecy and began recording galactic history in the Journal of the Whills.[1]

Venice and Florence and Rome, oh my!

This past week was our mid-term break where we were free to travel however we pleased. ALONE. This was the first trip I had ever actually planned without any parental advice (and now wishing I had had some...) a total of 4 of us planned on seeing Italy. We decided to stop in Venice first for 3 days and then Florence for 3 and Rome for 4.  We left on Thursday night on a Ryan Air flight (who are famous for their awful landings) where I ended up sitting next to 2 guys who just happened to go to Notre Dame and were on their break. They were even going to the exact same cities as us! However, what were the chances we'd run into each other? well.... they kept talking about their friend Taylor who was on a different flight to venice.  When we met up with some St. Thomas students in Venice it just happened to be that they were sitting next to this infamous Taylor! What are the odds!? Anyway, we arrived on the island and walked about 15 minutes to our hostel - Venice Luxury Hostel.  Luxury might have been a stretch but we did have a huge room with only 4 beds so we weren't with any strangers and a kitchen that we were allowed to use where we made breakfast each day and dinner one night.  We basically knocked out all the touristy things in Venice the first day so we spent the rest of the time walking around, eating real pizza and pasta, "island hopping", relaxing on gondolas, and napping.

On the first day we went to San Marco Piazza and walked to the top of the bell tower to get the best views of the entire city, had some friendly pigeons come and say hi back in the piazza, had our first taste of cookie of gelato and pizza, sat by the grand canal, and walked all along and found a pretty nice garden.

guard dog?

The next day we found a boat tour that took you to 3 different islands.  The first island was Murano that's famous for glass blowing.  We even got to see a demonstration of glass blowing!

The next island was Torcello which was really quaint and a nice place to just take a walk for awhile.

they're everywhere........

The last island was by far my favorite: Burano. It's famous for its colorful homes.  Each color signifies the different fishing families.  We got to see a lace demonstration in one of the shops on the island. There was even a store named after me there!

This house is probably somewhere I could find my mom one day - it is her favorite color.

I even found something with my sister's name on it... sort of.

After this boat tour we got on another boat... a different kind of boat... a gondola! The one must-do thing in Venice.  Our gondolier was fantastic and was a great source of knowledge for what else to do with our time in Venice.  We couldn't believe we were actually on a gondola in Venice - that's something that most people never get a chance to do in a lifetime.

The next day we were off to Florence!

The Question

It occurred to me last night how fortunate I am. I was having a conversation with Doug, the spousal unit and it somehow came around to food. We both agreed at the time we didn’t need any. Our refrigerator and cabinets are packed to the gills with food. We won’t be going hungry any time soon. Later that night as I was washing out the cat’s newly emptied dish, for the first time in my life the question asked itself in a whisper: is this all there is? My material needs are all taken care of. We have everything we need and quite a lot of the things we want. I live in a nice house in a nice neighborhood in one of the most beautiful and livable cities in the country. We have two good cars. Every person in my family has their own computer and smart phone. Our children have plenty of clothing and food. Sure, I could have more money, more stuff, more noteriety and I may yet choose to have those things, but to what end? What purpose would they serve? They aren’t the answer to the question. They won’t fill the hollowness. It all seems pointless when I look at the things we’re supposed to want as modern Americans: we’re supposed to work to make money so we can live in nice houses, have “nice” stuff, do fun things (that don’t seem all that much fun in the actual doing) and pay high fees to send our children to schools to learn to do the same program all over again one generation more. I’ve married and managed exactly that. Now what?

There are plenty who would counsel me to stop questioning before I drive myself mad. I have the things I’m supposed to want and now I should be working on getting more of the same and “planning for the future”. The future what? What’s the point of “future” if it looks pretty much the same as now? There are others who would say “Why, yes indeedy, Missy! This is exactly all there is so better make the best of it!” Except that’s a lie. I know it is. If this is all there is then I wouldn’t be asking the question. It simply wouldn’t be available to ask. And I wouldn’t feel the pull to seek answers I know are there. The ones who would counsel me thus are among those who have given up or have never dared in the first place. My asking the question apparently makes these people uncomfortable. They make light of it or give answers that aren’t well considered in an attempt to shut me up quickly before I infect them.

The thing about giving any attention, even a moment’s worth (Pat Parelli says there are four moments in every second), to the question “is this all there is?” is that no matter what you are compelled to search out the answer. You can’t ignore it. You can’t shut it down or walk away from it. Like a specter it will haunt you, whisper endlessly, sing from the shadows, give you no rest, drive you utterly mad until you give in, surrender, seek. Some of us don’t give in. These are the truly mad ones, though most seem to think them perfectly normal. The grinchy, the bitchy, the fearful, the numb – these have heard the question and ignored it, tried to run away. Some numb out preemptively so as not to hear the question in the first place. They know it’s there, have heard others mention it and figure to head off the madness by making sure they never hear the question for themselves. We have created whole religions in the attempt to stave off the madness of the question, offering different variations on answers that somewhat soothe many and are often of little use to those of us who have entertained the question. The reason most do not hear “the still, small voice” is because we’d rather not for fear of what it may demand of us.

I prefer to live by the addage “follow your heart”. Right now, in this moment, my heart feels still. I can only follow what is moving, right? Or perhaps not. Perhaps what I am to do is follow my heart into the stillness. Maybe in the stillness lies the answer to my questions, which are really only one question. “Is this all there is?” No. But in order to find the answer, to find the meaning behind the otherwise meaningless I’ll have to use my tools differently, turn the gem and peer into another facet or perhaps focus deeply upon the fire in its heart. And I will need to employ tools I already have but have never before used. I am no longer afraid. At least not in the moment. If I pull back and get ahead of or behind where I am then I can become very afraid, worrying over things that have gone by or may never come. I doubt and fear as though these are my natural state of being. When I lose focus and fall out of trust then yes, I am very afraid. Even so, I know with every particle of this being I call “me” that the only way is forward, through the question and the questing. For once you entertain the question there will only ever be the quest.

Motivrite 3: Vanity Publishing vs. Self-publishing

For the longest time vanity publishing and self-publishing were one and the same. If someone couldn’t get a deal with a traditional publisher then their only other option was to go with a vanity publisher who would gladly print up anything the author wanted, for a price. This naturally led to a bunch of not-so-great stuff being vanity published, and there’s a stigma associated with vanity publishing that still lingers around all self-publishing to this day.

But vanity publishing and modern indie self-publishing are far from the same thing, and it’s time for that old stigma and snooty attitude about self-publishers to go. Today’s episode of Motivrite dives into a brief history of vanity publishing, and the differences between old school vanity publishing and modern digital self-publishing.

Show Notes:

0:30 – The distinction between vanity publishing and self-publishing. One of these things is not like the other.

Vanity publishing and self-publishing used to be the same thing. That’s not the case anymore. Good work is being done by indies now that digital self-publishing has democratized the process, and this podcast is going to delve into the history of vanity publishing and compare it to modern digital self-publishing.

1:20 “Publishing companies” that weren’t publishing companies at all. My introduction to the world of vanity publishing.

A brief story about my introduction to the world of vanity publishing. Aka how I learned to stop worrying and accept that I wasn’t actually getting a publishing contract for a short story I wrote for my high school newspaper.

2:35 What is vanity publishing?

A history of old school vanity publishing and why it has a much deserved bad reputation among writers and publishers.

4:37 Not knowing the distinction between vanity publishing and digital self-publishing held me back from my future career. Don’t let it hold you back.

For the longest time I thought that digital self-publishing was just the new version of offline vanity publishing, and this held me back from self-publishing my stuff for several years I could’ve been using to build my career. Don’t let this happen to you.

5:40 Digital self-publishing is a whole new world of indie publishing.

There’s a whole new world of opportunities for writers because of the digital publishing revolution. I go into the differences between the old and busted self-publishing and the new hotness, and why one is still a costly dead end and one is your path to a potential new career.

7:45 Sturgeon’s Law is alive and well, but digital self-publishing allows the cream to rise to the top instead of relying on gatekeepers.

I tackle one of the most common criticisms against self-publishing: that a lot of the material that’s put out there isn’t that good. Which is true. There is a lot of crap out there, but there are also plenty of new systems in place that help the good stuff rise to the top that are far better than the old gatekeeping system of agents and publishers, because it’s the readers who get to decide what’s worthwhile in this new paradigm.

8:30 Digital markets are the great equalizer that puts indies on an equal footing with trad publishers.

We’ve never lived in a better time for writers to make money from their craft. Vanity publishing was a last ditch way for writers who couldn’t cut it in the old system to get their stuff out there, and it almost never worked. Digital self-publishing is a great new level playing field where anyone writing good stuff can stand out from the crowd and make a career!

Motivrite 2: What makes a career author?

In the second episode of Motivrite I do a dive into what it takes to be a career writer. There’s no one path to making a writing career, but there are some skills and habits that will make it a lot easier for you to take your writing from hobby to career. I talk a little bit about what it takes, and how you can get there!

Show Notes

0:27 – What makes someone a practitioner of an art?

Is it the act of doing, or is it getting paid? Is it getting paid or is it getting paid enough to do full time? Which gatekeeper is right?

1:40 – What is a career writer?

Career writers are working towards or making enough money to do this as a full time job. What does it take to hit this goal?

2:50 – What makes a career writer?

I talk about some of the skills and habits that career writers all have in common.

  1. Be a reader
  2. Be able to write
  3. Be disciplined
  4. Have a desire to learn
  5. Have ambition that’s paired with a work ethic and a desire to make it
  6. Treat writing like a job if you want it to be your job

13:20 – It’s not as difficult as you might think!

If you’re listening to this podcast then you’re taking the first step towards achieving what you need to make writing your career.

Introducing Motivrite

I’ve been wanting to do a podcast about writing since I first went full time back in 2015. I’ve dabbled in it here and there, but a variety of things kept me from actually hitting the publish button. Until today.

That’s right! I’ve finally got the time to put together some podcasting, and after a year of spending time here and there putting together a home studio, Motivrite is finally ready to go! You can hit play up above to listen to episode 1, or have a look at the show notes below. Thanks for listening!

Show notes:

Episode 1 is a quick introduction to Motivrite that talks about what I see the podcast covering, including:

Business tips

The career indie author has to be a businessperson on top of being a writer these days, and Motivrite will help with that.

Advice for newbies and pros

There’ll be advice in Motivrite that will help people just getting started and people who have been doing this for a few years and are old hands at the business.

Health advice for writers

Writers aren’t slaving away in the word mines, but there are health pitfalls associated with this sedentary job. I’ll have health tips, tricks, and advice for the career author.

Everyone needs a little inspiration, and Motivrite will occasionally feature inspiring stories of authors who made it!

Productivity is tough. Motivrite will help with tips and tricks I’ve learned doing this full time for four years that will hopefully help you out and help you avoid some of the mistakes I’ve made!

Writing tools

Sure writing can be done with a pencil and a notebook, but the modern indie author is going to have to be a lot more high tech than that. Motivrite will cover all sorts of nifty tools from the absolutely necessary to the stuff that’s nice to have but not a must have.

Svn notes

From DiLab
Jump to: navigation, search

A good start for basic subversion info is at

You may also want to read how to add a group or user to a group.

SVN client (GUIs)

Here is the list of my favorite clients for SVN

  • Rapidsvn for version control and meld for comparing files
sudo apt-get install rapidsvn meld
  • RabbitVCS - inspired by TortoiseSvn, but for Linux. However, if you have large or several repositories checked out in a directory that you are trying to open in nautilus, the latter may hang for a long time while the Rabbit goes through all the subdirectories.

Server preliminaries

It might be a good idea to create a "subversion" group and add yourself (the svn client user) and www-data as a user to it.

sudo addgroup subversion
sudo usermod -a -G subversion www-data

Creating a basic SVN repository

Decide where your repository will be. Private could be under your home, public probably be somewhere else, e.g. at /var/lib/svn/ourproject/. This example creates a repository in /home/svn/myproject/.

sudo mkdir /home/svn
cd /home/svn
sudo mkdir myproject

sudo svnadmin create /home/svn/myproject

cd /home/svn
sudo chown -R www-data:subversion myproject
sudo chmod -R g+rws myproject

Global ignore

  • Where to set the pattern for files to be ignored:

You can modify /etc/subversion/config like this

global-ignores = *.class *.o tmp

  • How to use a different username for a svn client (for example, rapidsvn)
SVN_SSH='ssh -l username' rapidsvn

Single unix account, multiple user access with public key authorization

Here is a description on how to set up svn on a single unix account and using private-public key authorization for multiple users.

In short: edit .ssh/authorized_keys file by adding lines as follows:

ssh-rsa AAAABlotsmoregookhere=

as "TYPE KEY COMMENT". Then add the following lines, one prer user:

 command="/path/to/svnserve -t -r /repository/root --tunnel-user=alice",no-port-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-pty TYPE1 KEY1 COMMENT1
 command="/path/to/svnserve -t -r /repository/root --tunnel-user=bob",no-port-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-pty TYPE2 KEY2 COMMENT2

Now you can have users authenticating the svn access with their private/public keys, using a single svn/unix account.

If you do not know how to generate the keys, here is how: Ssh_with_a_private-public_key

Suppose you have created the svn account under the user svnuser, and the repository is stored on the server at /home/svnuser/svn/the-project.

Suppose John wants to access the svn and has given his public key so that it is defined in the .ssh/authorized_keys file as follows:

 command="/usr/bin/svnserve -t -r /svn/the-project --tunnel-user=John",no-port-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-pty ssh-rsa AAAABlotsmoregookhere=

Then John can check out the repository from virtually any Linux account as follows:

SVN_SSH="ssh -l svnuser" svn co svn+ssh://

This is rather long typing, so I suggest you set up an alias in your .bashrc or wherever:

alias mysvn='SVN_SSH="ssh -l svnuser" '

and use it like this:

mysvn svn co svn+ssh:// myproj      ...checks out the repository the first time
cd myproj
gedit myfile1        ...create and edit a new file
svn add myfile1      ...mark it to be added to the repository
mysvn svn ci         ...check in the new file and any modifications
mysvn svn up         ...update your working copy from the svn, in case someone else has done some changes.
mysvn rapidsvn up an IDE for the svn project

Access from Windows

You can access the repository from windows as well. For example, using putty key agent and tortoiseSVN. Note that you need to specify the svn repository path with the proper username, e.g. svnuser as in the example above.

Integration with TRAC

You can make TRAC close messages when committing in svn by mentioning the ticket number like "This fixes #17". You will need to find (and install) the appropriate trac-post-commit-hook script for your TRAC version. Here is an example of the /var/svn/myproj/hooks/post-commit file:

MSG=$(svnlook log -r $REV /var/svn/myproj)
/usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/trac-post-commit-hook -p "$TRAC_ENV" -r "$REV" -m $MSG

Remove all .svn directories

Like this:

rm -rf `find . -type d -name .svn`

The Artwork Of Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy is a way of examining a joint by using a slender fiber-optic instrument termed an arthroscope or endoscope. This instrument has a lighted tip and it is utilized by a surgeon to detect ailment or harm inside of a joint or to maintenance tendons and ligaments.

“An orthopedic surgeon specializing in bone, muscle mass and joint operation performs the treatment. The surgeon cuts a small incision into the skin. She or he then inserts the arthroscope, that is about the width of the pencil. The joint is full of saline solution to offer a much better view.

In case your joint requires mend, the surgeon may insert surgical devices via supplemental tiny incisions made throughout the joint,” the Mayo Clinic stated.
The client can leave the medical center hours later on but it takes months to recover from medical procedures. Throughout this time, the client ought to chorus from overusing the joint.
Like other surgical procedures, arthroscopy has its pitfalls although these are generally rare. These incorporate surgical wound an infection and damage to inside buildings.
In “The Complete Tutorial to Signs and symptoms, Ailment and Surgery”, Dr. H. Winter season Griffith, a fellow with the American Academy of Family members Follow, reported the surgical dangers of arthroscopy boosts with being overweight, cigarette smoking, very poor nourishment, current disease As well as in Older people above sixty. Those people .who use antihypertensive, muscles relaxants, tranquilizers, insulin, cortisone, sedatives and mind altering prescription drugs like, narcotics and marijuana may also be lousy surgical candidates.
“When you go house, You will need to wrap, relaxation, ice and elevate the joint for quite a few days to cut back swelling and soreness. Based upon which joint required the process, you may have to quickly use splints, slings or crutches for consolation kupaci kostimi dvodelni and protection.

braised eggs with pancetta over parmesan polenta: in praise of normal

When I saw Paul step out of his gate at the Baltimore airport, he raised his arms and started toward me in a joyful burst of leaping and skipping, arms out, fingers fluttering in the air as we drew closer to one another. I didn’t even see his face up close before his body, nearly twice my size, wrapped around mine. His trip was only a week, but I missed him more than I care to admit. Without him, I let dishes pile up in the sink. The kitchen trash nearly overflowed. I drove home at night once with no headlights. I forgot my wallet at the checkout line. I felt like I was living life with one hand tied behind my back.

As we waited for his bag at the carousel, I attached myself to him like I was one big button on his overcoat. He looked down at me, “What’s for dinner?” he said. “I cannot wait to eat your food.” That’s all he has to say, ever, and I’m his. But this time I didn’t know. I usually plan something extravagant for dinner when he returns from a business trip (steak au poivre! Moroccan lamb shanks!). But his flight landed early and I didn’t have time to shop.

He heaved his giant suitcase off the carousel, and we rolled through Skywalk B to the parking garage, hopped in our new Nissan with perfect temperature levels  (I cannot tell you how happy this makes us), and drove straight into a traffic jam. While the engine hummed on I-95 behind a sea of taillights at a perfect 75 degrees, I detailed the plot points and twists of the last two movies I saw. Together with Paul, I felt balanced, and like daily rhythms and routines could begin again.

When we arrived home, I opened the fridge and spotted four brown eggs, pancetta, and a half full jar of tomato sauce. I knew then what I was going to make for dinner: Italian braised eggs in tomato sauce. Ending our mutual emotional and physical journeys with humble ingredients from the fridge seemed ‘back to normal’ and exactly right.

Braised Eggs with Pancetta over Parmesan Polenta

Serves 2

4 eggs
1 ounce pancetta (1 thin slice per person), diced
1-1/2 cup tomato sauce
4 garlic cloves, crushed with the back of knife
red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons olive oil

¾ cup polenta
2-1/4 cup water
2/3 cups grated parmesan
Salt to taste

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan. Add the red pepper flakes, crushed garlic, and pancetta. Let simmer on medium-low heat for 3 – 5 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and simmer for about 10 minutes. Add a little water or chicken stock if the sauce dries out too much. Season the sauce with salt to taste.

Meanwhile make the polenta by bringing water to a boil, then adding the polenta and stirring until thickened about 5 minutes. Add the parmesan and season with salt.

Crack the eggs into individual ramekins and gently slide into the red sauce. Cover the pan with a lid and let cook for about 7 minutes until the eggs yolks have just turned translucent white.

Spoon the polenta onto the plates and top with eggs and sauce.

Children are among those killed in the latest US-UK-backed attack

"A suspected raid by the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen killed more than 20 civilians on Wednesday, the latest in a spate of deadly strikes by the alliance that have drawn condemnation from rights groups and aid agencies." "The raid comes days before US President Donald Trump is to arrive on Saturday in Saudi Arabia on his first foreign trip since taking office in January. Washington provides intelligence as well as aerial refuelling to coalition warplanes conducting air strikes in Yemen with American and British supplied weapons." (thanks Amir)

Pet Wellness Services and our commitment throughout your animal’s lifetime
Ann Arbor Animal Hospital is dedicated to the care of animals—we truly understand how important animal companions are to our clients and their families. We are very fortunate to have the quality of staff that the hospital has assembled and we pride ourselves on “collaborative medicine.” Our team of DVMs work together combining their medical expertise to ascertain the best treatment plans for your pet. Together with our highly proficient and qualified support staff plus state-of-the-art facility and equipment, your pet can be assured of receiving high quality medicine and care. As a client, you can be assured that our team of professionals will make every effort possible to attend to your needs whether it is answering questions, recommending a referral, or giving you a hug. And because we are a walk-in clinic, no appointment is necessary so if you come in you are guaranteed to be seen that day.

Janet Figarra, DVM, implants a microchipOur hospital practices routine wellness and preventive care that includes annual checkups, dental care and regular vaccinations. We routinely arrange follow-up calls to clients to report on test results and check on a patient’s progress after an illness or surgery. We are committed to making each client visit the best it can be.

Annual Exams
Just like their human counterparts, routine physical examinations are just as important for your pet as they are for you! We recommend a complete physical examination at least once a year. Routine examinations provide our DVMs the opportunity to monitor your pet’s overall health and spot potential issues before they become serious health concerns. It’s also an opportunity for you to ask our vets important questions about your pet’s health, behavior and daily care.

During each wellness exam our DVMs and Vet Techs, will perform a “nose-to-tail” evaluation of your pet—examining his/her vision and hearing, vital signs, test the joints and muscles, check for any lumps or growths on the body, recommend adjustments to diet and more.

If you would like access to your pet’s medical records or would like the convenience of reordering prescriptions and food for pick up at our drive-thru or via home delivery, you can access both of these options on our Resources page.

Wellness through the Life Stages
Maintaining the health of your pet requires more than a annual visit for a checkup. It includes understanding the needs of your pet as it transitions through its life stages. At Ann Arbor Animal Hospital we follow a protocol designed to help you manage the health needs of your pet through these stages in order to promote optimal health.

Our program consists of the following:

Youth (birth to age 1) – The first year of a puppy or kitten’s life requires special care in order to ensure that he or she grows and develops normally. This includes an initial exam with vaccinations (even for pets that don’t go outside), regular testing of stool samples, and a discussion about good nutritional health. For puppies we advise the start of heartworm prevention medication. At about six months of age, we recommend spaying or neutering your pet.

Adult (ages 1–9) – These years represent your pet’s midlife years. As such, it is important to keep up with annual wellness exams and boosters for vaccines, regular lab tests, flea and tick prevention, heartworm prevention, dental exams and nutritional requirements.

Senior (9+ years) – Dogs and cats in their senior years require additional veterinary care in order to keep them healthy and to detect early signs of treatable disease. This is all the more true since their metabolism slows and they are more susceptible to a variety of cancers. We still recommend yearly wellness exams, but also recommend a geriatric exam tailored to your pet’s age and condition, an individualized geriatric diet, heartworm prevention and routine screenings for growths and lumps on or just under the skin and unusual changes in your pet’s behavior.

“Our goal is to make Ethiopian export more competitive”

Ato SufianThere is probably no one alive today that knows Ethiopia’s economy like Ato Sufian Ahmed. Having served as the country’s Finance and Economic Development Minister in the last two decades, Ato Sufian has a finger on the economy’s pulse; and what a rhythm it is beating.

In the last decade, the Ethiopian economy has been chugging along at a dizzying average growth rate of over 10 percent per annum, making it one of the world’s most attractive to investors.

As the fiscal policy coordinator, Ato Sufian has been involved in charting the development course of Ethiopia’s economy over the years. This year, he says the growth may even speed up to 11 percent, given the increased interest shown by foreign investors and government’s continued effort to further liberalize the economy with juicier incentives.

In a chat with AnnualMeetings Daily, the veteran policy maker/implementer unveils his country’s strategy for keeping the economy ticking. He also gives the long-term view and expectations of the Hailemariam Desalegn-led administration. For Ato Sufian, Ethiopia may be hitting the middle-income target sooner than the world thinks. After all, all the ingredients and elements of a go-getter are already evident in the ongoing work to improve power supply and the privatisation of infrastructure development. Excerpts:

Ethiopia has recorded phenomenal economic growth in Africa in recent time. What is responsible for this and how can it be sustained?
From the establishment of the new Ethiopia in 1991, the Government started laying the foundation for strong and sustainable economic development.  Since then, a series of reforms has been introduced. Particularly, the old unitary economic structure was restructured into a market-oriented federal system. Tax and civil service reforms, liberalization of financial sector, privatization of public-owned enterprises were major programmes that prepared a fertile ground for overall economic growth. Besides, the Government of Ethiopia introduced sector-specific, but interlinked development programmes and strategies.

Agriculture has experienced a growth multiplier effect three times larger than the growth effect of non-agricultural sectors. Economic literature argue that agricultural growth is key for expansion of an entire economy since resources used for agricultural growth are rarely diverted from other sectors. Hence, rapid growth in agriculture tends to be additive to the growth in other sectors.  This accounts for the significant contribution of the Agricultural Development-Led-Industrialization (ADLI) strategy introduced in the mid-1990s.

The private sector, an acknowledged engine of growth, has been helped by the Industry Sector Development Strategy. The strategy acknowledges private sector as an engine of growth. It focuses on the deepening of export-led industrialization, expansion of labour-intensive factories, creating a conducive environment for the industrialization process (i.e. stable macro-economic environment, development of conducive financial system, reliable infrastructure provision, provision of trained manpower, effective & efficient administrative/governance structure, efficient judicial system etc).
Most important, the role of the government in coordinating and leading the growth agenda as well as engaging in massive key infrastructure development activities and mobilizing the citizens around its vision is key to these successes.

What transformational role is agriculture playing in the economy?
Agriculture, the mainstay of the economy, accounts for 43% of the GDP, 90% of exports, and about 85% of the labour force and is the main source of raw materials. The government has made agriculture priority through the Agricultural Development Led-Industrialization (ADLI) strategy.

The overarching goal of ADLI is to ensure accelerated and sustained economic growth. Within the framework of ADLI, the government initiated a five-year agricultural development programme with the objective of closing the country’s food gap in the medium term. The Sustainable Development and Poverty Reduction Programme (SDPRP) and the Plan for Accelerated Sustainable Development to End Poverty (PASDEP) were also planned and implemented.

The on-going five-year plan, the Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP), is directed towards achieving Ethiopia’s long-term vision and sustaining the rapid and broad-based economic growth anchored on the experiences drawn from implementing development policies and strategies and the challenges of policy measures. The overriding development agenda of GTP is to sustain rapid and broad-based growth witnessed during the past several years and eventually, end poverty.

The Ethiopian economy has been registering double digit growth since 2003/04 and agriculture is the major contributor to the overall economic performance of the country. The agricultural sector on average has attained 8 percent growth in the last decade. Our farmers are becoming self-sufficient, diversifying their income sources and creating wealth to the extent of investing in off-farm businesses.

The core objective of the Food Security Programme includes: improving significantly the food security situation through programme components of voluntary resettlement, productive safety net, household asset building programme and complementary community investment programme.

The voluntary resettlement component has enabled the resettlement of well over 224,021 households.  About 98% of the people have attained food self-sufficiency. The productive safety net component of the programme focuses on the prevention of asset depletion and increasing food availability at household and community levels. Making the food insecure households benefit from increased productivity of crops and animals as well as increased incomes both from agricultural and non-agricultural income sources are major targets. So far, well above seven million households have received PSNP transfers enabling them to meet consumption needs, and providing them with alternative options to prevent the selling off of their productive assets. More than 200,000 households have graduated from the PSNP.

To what extent is the economy insulated from commodity price shock?
Ethiopia’s export sector is expected to increase its growth rate in response to export promotion measures being taken, chief of which is the diversification of the export sector. We no longer depend on a single commodity — coffee — whose share declined from a high 60 percent to less than 30 percent last year.  New products such as flower and some manufacturing products have joined the export trade. The market destination has also been diversified with more emphasis on Asian economies. We, however, know that we have to go a long way to make our export more competitive by addressing structural problems and increasing volume of manufactured products in which we have comparative advantage. Of course, to some extent, commodity price shock affects our import bill, particularly fuel import which we cannot do anything about.

How would you assess FDI inflows into the economy?
Since 1991 the Ethiopian economy has been opened for domestic and foreign private investment. Since then, the government has also introduced attractive private sector investment incentive schemes. Besides, the stable macroeconomic situation, the availability of trainable and cheap human labour, vast local market, and strong government institutions are major factors in attracting FDI.

In the past three years a total of US$3.59 billion FDI has been registered. In 2010/11, 2011/12 and 2012/13, net FDI inflows were US$1.24 billion, US$1.1 billion and US$1.3 billon, respectively. Even though annual inflow of FDI has been soaring, the rate must increase to match our huge investment needs in the coming years.  Government will further stabilize macroeconomic environment, build institutions and implement attractive incentive mechanisms.

To what extent has Ethiopia’s stable macroeconomic environment and sustainable economic growth alleviated poverty?
Inclusive growth is defined as the kind of growth in which every segment of the society benefits from economic advancement. To reduce the number of people living below the poverty line, a number of polices and strategies have been designed and implemented for the past several years. Particularly, in urban areas, structured engagement in micro and small-scale activities and adoption of integrated development programmes have created new job opportunities. Furthermore, the allocations of huge investments in pro-poor and growth-enhancing sectors have successfully complemented the poverty eradication campaign of the country.  Expansion in medium and large-scale private industries, and some of the investments in their operations, are creating new job opportunities. Similarly, to address rural poverty and ensure improvements in agriculture input supply, we are providing direct support for the farming community by adopting new agricultural technologies and conserving natural resources.

As a result, per capita income has increased and poverty declined significantly in both urban and rural areas. The proportion of the population living below the poverty line dropped to less than 29.6 percent in 2010/11 from 38.7 percent in 2004/05; a 9.1 percentage point decline in only five years.

Most emerging market economies are slowing down. Don’t you think this might be a drag on the Ethiopian economy?
The Ethiopian economy is one of the few not heavily affected by the recent global crisis. Economic growth was very strong during the crisis period. The growth of the Ethiopian economy is dominantly demand-driven, not commodity-driven.  It was therefore able to survive the crisis.  The recent slowdown in the emerging countries is actually creating investment opportunities for African countries and Africa’s economic growth will remain robust. The slowdown of the emerging economies will also not drag down Ethiopia’s economy because it does not depend solely on one pole of the world’s economy since there are now many emerging economies.

I can't use Bokeh or Shiny webapp when DSS is running in Docker, the backend log shows the following, and hangs until it fails:

[FT-StartWaitThread-gzPzm1u5-234] [INFO] [dku.webapps.bokeh]  - [ct: 2750] Get http://localhost:50890
[FT-StartWaitThread-gzPzm1u5-234] [INFO] [dku.webapps.backends]  - [ct: 2755] Failed to contact webapp backend, wait...

I created a macvlan network interface and exposed all ports but it still doesn't work. Is there a specific Docker configuration to make it work?

No problem when running DSS natively on a Linux host, but I need Docker in this environment.

Thanks in advance

asked by
Could you share with us your docker run script, including for network and port configuration?
Thanks for your answer, I initially followed the instructions there, but the webapps didn't worked: https://hub.docker.com/r/dataiku/dss/

docker run --name=dss -p 10000:10000  -v /home/user/Development/docker/dataiku_data/:/home/dataiku/dss -d dataiku/dss

Then I tried a macvlan interface so that the container has its own IP address, but still doesn't works:
docker network create -d macvlan --subnet --gateway -o parent=eno1 docker-macvlan-net

docker run --network docker-macvlan-net --name=dss -p 1000-65000:1000-65000 -v  /home/user/Development/docker/dataiku_data/:/home/user/dss -d dataiku/dss
Thanks for sharing these details. There does not seem to be a networking issue in your setup. It could be that bokeh hangs at initialization. Could you try restarting the backend of the webapp and see if the problem happens again? Are you using one of our bokeh example template or your own code?

It works now, there's no specific network config to do actually. I just pulled the latest Docker image, did the DSS upgrade (https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/latest/installation/upgrade_instance.html), and that worked afterward!
