Our goal is to make collaborative editing the standard on the web

Etherpad lite is a really-real time collaborative editor spawned from the Hell fire of Etherpad. We're reusing the well tested Etherpad easysync library to make it really realtime. Etherpad Lite is based on node.js ergo is much lighter and more stable than the original Etherpad. Our hope is that this will encourage more users to use and install a realtime collaborative editor. A smaller, manageable and well documented codebase makes it easier for developers to improve the code and contribute towards the project.

Etherpad Lite is optimized to be easy embeddable. It provides a HTTP API that allows your web application to manage pads, users and groups. There are several clients in for this API:

There is also a jQuery plugin that helps you to embed Pads into your website

  1. Download
  2. Extract the file
  3. Open the extracted folder and double click start.bat
  4. Open your web browser and browse to http://localhost:9001. You like it? Look at the 'Next Steps' section below

As root:

  1. Install the dependencies. We need gzip, git, curl, libssl develop libraries, python and gcc.
    For Debian/Ubuntu apt-get install gzip git-core curl python libssl-dev build-essential
    For Fedora/CentOS yum install gzip git-core curl python openssl-devel && yum groupinstall "Development Tools"

  2. Install node.js
    1. Download the latest 0.6.x node.js release from
    2. Extract it with tar xf node-v0.6*
    3. Move into the node folder cd node-v0.6* and build node with ./configure && make && make install

As any user (we recommend creating a separate user called etherpad-lite):

  1. Move to a folder where you want to install Etherpad Lite. Clone the git repository git clone 'git://'
  2. Install the dependencies with bin/
  3. Start it with bin/
  4. Open your web browser and visit http://localhost:9001. You like it? Look at the 'Next Steps' section below

Next Steps

You can modify the settings in the file settings.json

If you have multiple settings files, you may pass one to bin/ using the -s|--settings option. This allows you to run multiple Etherpad Lite instances from the same installation.

You should use a dedicated database such as "mysql" if you are planning on using etherpad-lite in a production environment, the "dirty" database driver is only for testing and/or development purposes.

You can update to the latest version with git pull origin. The next start with bin/ will update the dependencies

  1.  Introduction

1.1.  General

  This document gives pointers for information on this package which is
  distributed under the GNU General Public License version 2 (see file

  1.2.  What This Package Is

  The purpose of IDX-TSUNAMI is to simulate users in order to test
  the scalability and performances of IP based client/server
  applications. Currently, HTTP and Jabber protocol have been
  implemented and tested, but it can be easily extended (see
  doc/Design.txt). IDX-TSUNAMI use the Erlang language.

  This tool can simulate thousands of users concurrently, and can be
  distributed on several client machines. Up to 10000 users can be
  simulated on a single machine (the limit depends on the hardware and
  also on the activity of the simulated clients).

  The idea is to simulate the behavior of a real world client using a
  stochastic model, in order to achieve a more realistic traffic than
  other simple models (deterministics).

  In this context, a client's session is characterize by:
      - a set of actions: an action can be a request ('GET' or 'POST')
      or a thinktime

  At the end of a session, the client stops.

  A key parameter is the mean time between clients arrival,
  and also the duration of the test.

  In the current implementation, the client arrival rate and the user
  "think time" are represented by an exponential distribution
  (therefore, the arrival process is a Poisson process). The thinktime
  can also be fixed (determinist).

  The traffic can be logged to a file and this file can be analyzed by
  scripts to get useful measurements of responses time.

  Since v0.2.0, these stats are also be computed in real-time. A
  script is provided to print  graphics using gnuplot.

  For a list of features, see

  2.  Getting Things Installed

  2.1.  Dependencies
  - Erlang/OTP R9C-0 (

  - xmerl-0.19 ( A debian
    binary package is provided in

    xmerl-0.15 should work, but the notation <tag/> is not supported
    by this version (use instead the full <tag></tag> notation)

  - gnuplot and perl5 (optional; for graphical output with script).  The Template Toolkit is used for HTML
    reports (see

  - for distributed tests, you need an ssh access to remote machines
    without passwd (use a RSA/DSA key without passphrase or ssh-agent)

  2.2.  Compilation and Installation

  ./configure (this will detect your erlang installation path)
  make install

  How to use it:
    1a/ Edit ~/.idx-tsunami/idx-tsunami.xml file (read the comments
     for explanation on the parameters, there is a sample file
     /usr/share/doc/idx-tsunami/examples/idx-tsunami.xml). Log files
     are saved in ~/.idx-tsunami/log/ . A new subdirectory is created
     for each test using the current date as name
     (~/.idx-tsunami/log/20040217-09:40 for ex.)

    1b/ Read the doc/Jabber.txt file for Jabber-specific information.

    2/ use "idx-tsunami start" to launch the simulated clients (man
    idx-tsunami for available options)

    3/ When it's finished, or during the test, you can use ( located in /usr/lib/idx-tsunami/bin/
      to get statistical results from the logfile.

	   Since v0.2.0, you can have 'realtime' stats using with the
	   --stats and --plot option. It will
	   generate graphics in postscript using gnuplot. The --stats
	   option requires a logfile, by default it is named
       Every 10sec (default value), stats are dump in that log file,
       and the script can create graphics about the current activity.
	   Availables stats:
		- request (response time for each request)
		- page (response time for each set of requests)
		- connect (duration of the connection)
		- reconnect (number of reconnection)
		- size (size of responses)
		- session (duration of a user's session)
		- users (number of simultaneous users)

       HTTP specific stats:
		  - counter for each response status (200, 404, etc.)
        Since v1.0.beta1, you can customize statistics using
        "transactions" in session definition. The --extra option is
        required to print the os_mon statistics (monitoring of cpu and

        Since v1.0.beta3, you can add --html to to have
        a nice HTML report (this requires the perl Template
        toolkit). The template directory is ~/idx-tsunami/templates or
        /usr/share/idx-tsunami/template or can be set with --tdir <dir>
        This will create two files report.html and graph.html
      Ex: > cd ~/.idx-tsunami/log/2004YYYY-XX:XX
          > --stats idx-tsunami.log  --plot --html

     4/ To start the proxy recorder for HTTP sessions, use the command
     'idx-tsunami recorder'. The proxy will start listening to the
     8090 port. Configure your browser; all the requests will be
     recorded to a file in XML. To stop the recorder, type
     'idx-tsunami stop_recorder'

After pushing one or two commits, put the code up for discussion:

gitc discuss

Mark as Ready

When the branch is ready for merging, mark it as ready:

gitc ready

This will mark the pull request as "Pending Review".

Code Review

Managers will periodically check for "Pending Review" issues on GitHub.

Once reviewed, they will mark the issue as reviewed:

gitc reviewed [GITHUB ISSUE #] [...]

Quality Assurance

QA engineers will periodically check for "Pending QA" issues on Github.

To create a new QA branch:

gitc qa [GITHUB ISSUE #] [...]

This will create a new QA branch containing the commits from the related Github issue numbers.

This branch can be deployed to a staging environment for QA.

QA Fail

If a feature does not pass QA:

gitc qa fail [GITHUB ISSUE #] [...]

To fail all issues:

gitc qa fail

This will add a "fail" label to the issue.

QA Pass

If a feature passes QA:

gitc qa pass [GITHUB ISSUE #] [...]

To pass all issues:

gitc qa pass

This will add a "pass" label to the issue and will complete the pull request by merging the feature branch into the target branch.

Checkout Upstream Branch

If you are working in a fork, it is easy to checkout upstream branches:

gitc checkout [BRANCH]

Its easy to checkout branches from other forks:

gitc checkout [USER] [BRANCH]

QA Status

See who is QA'ing what:

gitc qa

Redo Branch

If you associate the wrong branch with a ticket, use gitc redo to fix it.

Checkout the branch that you will eventually merge your feature into:

gitc checkout master

Type gitc reset + your ticket URL to reset the branch:

gitc redo

  • Add ability to associate multiple branches/pull requests with one Lighthouse ticket
  • Add comment on lighthouse with issue URL
  • gitc discuss should tag issue with 'Discuss'
  • On pass or fail, send email to Github email
  • Note you can use gitc with a string
  • gitc qa pass, should not set ticket to pending-approval if its already resolved
  • If gitc reset happens on branch with Github issue, close the existing issue
  • Add comment on lighthouse with issue URL
  • Instead of detecting CONFLICT, use error status $? != 0
  • Label issues with ticket milestone
  • gitc qa pass # since we're changing this to pass all the tickets, we need to loop through all the merged issues and update the lighthouse state to pending-qa
  • There's still a Tagging Issue I tried to fix parseLabel , Pass should remove Pending, but remove the Branch Name
  • gitc ready - possibly do syntax checks

An American in France

There have been quite a few famous Americans (and other expats) in history that decided to either settle or live in France for long periods of time.  Today many follow their example and in this blog post we interview Michael Barrett, an American who is now living in France.

Global Coach Center (GCC): How long have you lived in France and how did you come to live there?

Michael: I’ve lived in France now over four years in a row but longer than that over my lifetime. I lived in Paris as a baby and toddler for three years as my father worked here on assignment. My family always had an interest in France so it influenced my decision to study the language and culture in middle school, high school and then in college. My first trip back to France was with the French club of my high school in 2003. During my sophomore year (2nd year) at the University of Notre Dame, I studied abroad in Angers, France 2004-2005, where I lived with a French family, studied in French, traveled and made friends from all over the world. It motivated me to come back.

I followed that with an internship at Sciences Po Paris in 2006, and then after graduating in 2007, I moved to Lyon to be an English assistant. I met my French girlfriend there, pursued graduate studies in communications in Grenoble for two years, during which I worked at AmCham France. In July 2010 I was hired as a Digital Project Manager at New BBDO Paris, and advertising agency. I’ve been here ever since, and I also manage the site Americanexpatinfrance, write for several websites and am involved with the expatriate community while keeping a close group of French friends. I plan on applying for dual citizenship soon.

GCC: What do you love most about living in France?

Michael: My girlfriend, my French friends, the rich culture and gastronomy and history, the diversity of the regions and their characteristics… close proximity to other European countries. A generally balanced approach to life and work…their healthcare system –although it’s not perfect.

GCC: What frustrates you?

Michael: Generalizations about America and its culture, strikes, lack of convenience here (the US is a culture of convenience)…although I’ve gradually come to accept these cultural differences with the traditional French shrug of the shoulders. Every country has its own pros and cons.

GCC: What would you have liked to know that you didn’t before coming to live in France?

Michael: To know how to (try to) master the inner workings of the French civil service bureaucracy and its paperwork, implicit messages (not explicit) and assumptions that you know everything if you don’t ask a question. But I’ve learned how to manage that, too.

GCC: What are three tips you can give people planning to move to France?

  • Learn the language and about the culture as well, as this will not only enrich you but also show a genuine willingness on your part to the French that you’re making an effort and reaching out.
  • On a related note, be open-minded. This is not America, and there will be some culture shock and things and approaches that are done differently. They have a different perspective here on many things, so approach it with curiosity and don’t be afraid to have friendly debate with French coworkers and friends (make French friends), as long as it’s not on taboo subjects (money, religion) – those are for closer friends usually.
  • Take a look at practical matters in detail – education, healthcare, taxes, driving regulations, housing – hopefully your employer or organization can help you with these matters. Better to be well prepared than land here and figure out as you go along. That can add to frustration. I’d be happy to advise on questions or refer you to an expert in a field that I don’t master as well.

About Michael: Michael Barrett is a 26 year-old American with roots in Chicago and Washington D.C. working as Project Manager at New BBDO Paris, a PR firm in Paris. He writes a must-read blog for expats called American Expat in France.

Global Coach Center recently launched an online cross-cultural course — “Living and Working in France” which:

  • provides you with a foundation of what France is all about;
  • through the Culture Mastery 4 C’s Process™ helps you understand the gap between your way of thinking and the French way of thinking;
  • provides extensive tools to negotiate the difference; and
  • blends cross-cultural information with a coaching approach to understanding and becoming successful in any culture.

Class of '89
May 2007

Greeting Gustie Alumni of 1989:

Do you ever feel like a little spoke in a very large wheel?  Or perhaps more like a gerbil stuck in that great big wheel of life.  I know that I personally feel like sometimes I am not living my life but that my life is living me.  Sometimes it is hard to remember or hard to believe that we do make a difference.  That doing the little thing is important and is a significant piece of a bigger puzzle.  The 2006-07 Gustavus Alumni Fund Drive is coming to a close at the end of the month.  It is not too late to make your donation and be a part of that bigger puzzle or make that difference.

I am also reminded of a Randy Travis song titled Three Wooden Crosses.  If you have never had the opportunity to hear the song, it tells a story of a farmer and a teacher and a hooker and a preacher and how a fatal accident scene brings them all together.  The song questions why there are only three wooden crosses along side the road.  It turns out that the hooker, who the listener assumes was the one that didn’t have the cross placed at the side of the road, didn’t die and passed along her wisdom and faith to her son.  The moral message of the song is that it is not what you take with you when you die but rather what you leave behind you when you are gone that matters.  I think this is an important message to remember while we plug along trying to make a better life for ourselves and our families and also at times when we do have an opportunity to be part of something like the Gustavus Fund that can make a liberal arts education possible for others and keep that legacy alive.  To be a part of this year’s fund drive, please donate by May 31, 2007.

Go Gusties!

Francine Mocchi

I was the English major and Mike Dueber was so not the English major…a math major…but Mike is clearly the one with the hidden talent in this area…Mike wrote the following to inspire our fellow classmates via email:

 As class agents one of our fates

 Is to email all of our classmates

 And add to the reminders

 To all ’89ers

 Of the Gustavus "giving year" dates  (June 1st - May 31st)

 Remember the easy life on the hill

 Where we could study and eat our fill

 Bad days sure were rare

 We took naps in the Brar’

 And our P.O.s had nary a bill.

 Now take your mind way, way back

 To the Caf, the Dive, the Gold & Black

 Give a future Gustie a chance

 To have a freshman squaredance

Rare Flower to Bloom at Gustavus

A Titan Arum or Amorphophallus titanum, otherwise known as a Corpse Flower, is nearing bloom in the Department of Biology’s greenhouse and is expected to flower sometime in the next few weeks.  The first known Corpse Flower to bloom in Minnesota, this rare flowering plant is found only in the tropical rainforests of Sumatra, Indonesia.  The largest un-branched inflorescence in the world, the flower’s name comes from the repulsive scent it omits during and after its bloom period.  The plant’s cluster of flowers can grow to almost 10 feet, although the plant at Gustavus is expected to bloom slightly smaller.  “This plant is one of the wonders of the botanical world,” says Brian O’Brien, associate professor of chemistry who received and planted the seeds in 1993.

Endgame: The Monk’s Gambit

So I bit the bullet and leveled. My monk is now 90 and having a surprisingly large amount of fun. Ever contrary it seems that as everyone else is losing that WoW feeling, I’ve got my groove back.

This weekend I found myself uttering the words I never expected to slip past my lips, “Let’s just queue to Strand of the Ancients because it’s the call to arms and it’s amazing”. As it turns out, on monks it is a great place to pvp because of all the utility which comes as a standard regardless of spec. No one else slowing vehicles, fine, I can do it myself at no mana or chi cost to myself. No one else cc’ing chasing opponents, no problem, slow one, paralyze one, silence one, disarm one and rinse and repeat. Finally I have the control my control freak nature appreciates.

I’ve also being doing a lot of Tol Barad as it’s an easy five hundred honor per game. It’s just a shame that the Horde on my server don’t see the point of queuing up. This is one zone that I really wish was cross realm as I miss the massive battles with three raid groups we had the start of Cataclysm when it was new and shiny and gave semi useful rewards.

tol barad
In between PvP, I’ve started leveling archaeology. My goal for this week is to cap it out and also hopefully acquire as many of the interesting items as possible. The pick up, put down nature of it suits being interwoven in between battleground queues and the screenshot opportunities it provides suits me down to the ground.

I’m almost completely geared in the current honor set and my conquest point count is climbing nicely so the next thing on the agenda will be to run those scenarios so I can experience the Battlefield which has become the Barrens prior to the patch. Given all those happy days I spent pvping in the Barrens it seems only fitting that my journey should take me there again.

  1. Gratz on your newest 90.
    I also miss the epic battles in Tol. I still need one achieve to complete that area, but 99% of the time I que for it I’m the only Horde!

    • Ty. It went surprisingly fast. I wish that they had made Tol Barad cross realm when they added the change. It and Wintergrasp would really have benefited in my book.

Column: You Are What You Measure

From the June 2010 Issue
Column: You Are What You Measure

View more from the

A loose consensus has formed around the idea that basing CEO pay on, say, five years of stock returns would eliminate some of the reckless decision making that led to the Great Recession. But I suspect that even if you could build a compensation plan that focuses on long-term shareholder value, you’d solve only part of the problem.

That’s because such a scheme still ties CEOs’ motivation to one fickle number—company share price—and assumes that pay alone motivates chief executives to perform.

Any number of things can motivate CEOs—peer recognition, for example, and even a desire to change the world. In fact, CEOs usually have all the money they need. Why then does it seem that they care more about stock value and the compensation it produces than those other forms of motivation?

The answer is almost uncomfortably simple: CEOs care about stock value because that’s how we measure them. If we want to change what they care about, we should change what we measure.

It can’t be that simple, you might argue— but psychologists and economists will tell you it is. Human beings adjust behavior based on the metrics they’re held against. Anything you measure will impel a person to optimize his score on that metric. What you measure is what you’ll get. Period.

This phenomenon plays out time and again in research studies. Give someone frequent flyer miles, and he’ll fly in absurd ways to optimize his miles.

When I was at MIT, I was measured on my ability to handle my yearly teaching load, using a complex equation of teaching points. The rating, devised to track performance on a variety of dimensions, quickly became an end in itself. Even though I enjoyed teaching, I found myself spending less time with students because I could earn more points doing other things. I began to scrutinize opportunities according to how many points were at stake. In optimizing this measure, I was not striving to gain more wealth or happiness. Nor did I believe that earning the most points would result in more effective learning. It was merely the standard of measurement given to me, so I tried to do well against it (and I admit that I was rather good at it).

This phenomenon happens at an organizational level, too. States that use standardized education assessment tests produce kids who indeed perform well on these tests but falter when asked to demonstrate their knowledge of the same material in a different way. Does that make teachers bad at their jobs? No. They’re simply behaving the way people do when they’re judged on the basis of a metric.

So every morning, a CEO arrives in his office and checks the number he’s judged on: the stock price. He’ll meet with people who have ideas about how to make it higher. Now and again, he’ll buy or sell something, or hire or fire some people, to move the number. All the while, analysts will keep watch, praising him when the number goes up and criticizing when it goes down. If you were subjected to such unrelenting scrutiny, wouldn’t you do as much as you could to get the number up? Even if you knew your actions would probably come back to bite you in the long run?

To change CEOs’ behavior, we need to change the numbers we measure. Stock value metrics that focus on the long term are a start, but even more important are new numbers that direct leaders’ attention to the real drivers of sustainable success.

If we want to change what CEOs care about, we should change what we measure.

What are those numbers? Ideally, they’d vary by industry, situation, and mission, but here are a few obvious choices: How many new jobs have been created at your firm? How strong is your pipeline of new patents? How satisfied are your customers? Your employees? What’s the level of trust in your company and brand? How much carbon dioxide do you emit?

None of these metrics is as easy to measure as shareholder value. That’s part of why we’re so fixated on it. But if we measure just what’s easy, we’ll maximize just what’s easy.

A version of this article appeared in the June 2010 issue of Harvard Business Review.

In his best-selling book, Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions, Dan Ariely presents often humorous and peculiar research findings that provide new insights into human behavior that can help us make better decisions as individuals, as corporations, and as a society.

My Health Care in UtahPrinter Friendly

Key Findings

How did Utah quality of care compare with the nation from 2004 through 2006?

For in-hospital deaths, Utah hospitals overall did about as expected compared to similar adult inpatients nationwide for in-hospital deaths from pneumonia. Utah overall means all Utah hospitals combined.  Measures used are in parentheses. For more details, see the TechnicalDocument.

From 2004 through 2006, 579 (3.6%) of 16,278 adult pneumonia patients died in Utah hospitals. Utah overall had a lower percentage of deaths than expected for similar patients nationwide.

Among the 38 Utah hospitals that treated 30 or more adult pneumonia inpatients

  • 12 hospitals (32%) had fewer deaths than expected. Two of these hospitals had no in-hospital adult pneumonia deaths from 2004 through 2006.
  • 25 hospitals (66%) had about as many deaths as expected.
  • One hospital had more deaths than expected.

There are many kinds of pneumonia as well as many causes and risk factors. This report includes some of the more common kinds of bacterial, viral and mycoplasma pneumonia among adults. Read more about kinds of pneumonia and see the Pneumonia Technical Document.

Note that many factors can affect in-hospital pneumonia deaths at a particular hospital. The measures in this report include pneumonia patients with do not resuscitate orders and other pneumonia patients near the end of their life. Read more in About the Report.

How did hospital charges differ among Utah hospitals in 2006?

Average hospital charges for the adult pneumonia inpatients (APR-DRG 139 Other Pneumonia) in this report differed widely. Among the 38 Utah hospitals that reported charges for adult pneumonia inpatients, average hospital charges ranged from

  • $2,752 to $11,394 for patients with minor/moderate illness level
  • $5,847 to $24,366 for patients with major/extreme illness level
As expected, average hospital charges for patients treated at the major/extreme level of illness tend to be higher. Often these patients require more complex treatment and longer hospital stays than patients at the minor/moderate illness level. However, patients who are very ill and die before they receive much treatment or have "do not resuscitate" orders may have low charges. For a complete list of kinds of pneumonia included in this report, see the Pneumonia Technical Document

Note that many factors will affect hospital charges. Read more in About the Report .

This is my genealogy blog and web site, including some blog entries originally posted at Doctroidal Dissertations and some genealogical information originally posted at Journal of Doctroidal Research. It reflects my main genealogical interest, which is and long has been my Holmes line — going via Nathan Holmes of Montville, New London County, Connecticut and Hamilton, Madison County, New York around 1800 back to John Holmes of Plymouth Colony in the 1600s and from there into Essex, England another hundred or so years — and, going forward again, other descendants of Nathan Holmes. Then again, I do spend some time on my other lines and post about them occasionally.

Langham Short Film Competition – Winner Gets to Go To Sundance Screenings

Was at the Langham Place Short Films Screenings last night and they showcased three feature shorts, namely, the Club, the Spa and the Room and the most interesting part of it is that all three short films were shot with the iPhone. Check out the making of videos here and have a taste of what’s it all about.

The other highlight of the evening was when Sean Seah, Vice President – E-Business, Loyalty and Partner Marketing of Langham, announced the Langham Short Film Competition where the winner of the competition will be flown to London, stay at the awesome Langham London, be able to attend an exclusive networking breakfast with the heavy weights of Sundance Institute and other filmmakers, attend Sundance screenings and if lucky, have access to other Sundance panel events as well.

ArtWalk Hong Kong 2012 is Tonight, 14 March 2012

This is it, the long anticipated event of the year is here.

Now entering its 12th successful year, Hong Kong ArtWalk is Hong Kong’s biggest charity art event; a great one-night experience showcasing a range of visual arts in a variety of Hong Kong’s art galleries in the SOHO, Wan Chai, Sheung Wan, Central, Aberdeen and Happy Valley areas of Hong Kong Island.

Artwalk is simple: 66 galleries will open their doors between 5 pm to 12 midnight on Wednesday, 14 March 2012. ArtWalk tickets are on sale from early March from one of the ticket-selling galleries and you will receive a comprehensive ArtWalk brochure, map and entry badge allowing entry at any of the galleries on ArtWalk night. You can then take any route in any order to visit (or re-visit) galleries and can sip free wine, beer and mineral water in all the participating galleries – and enjoy ‘finger food’ provided by our generous sponsoring restaurants.

The ArtWalk benefiting charity for 2012 is, as last year, the Society for Community Organization (SoCO) – last year, a donation of HK$400,000 was raised from tickets sold from ArtWalk and donated to SoCO. Since the first ArtWalk began in 2001 over HK$5 million has been donated to Hong Kong charities.

The volunteers helping ‘man the doors’ on ArtWalk night are fine arts students from the Academy of Visual Arts of Hong Kong Baptist University and the Fine Arts Department of the Chinese University of Hong Kong – in return, ArtWalk also makes a donation to fund their yearly graduation shows.

ArtWalk Extra features additional displays of art that you can also see while walking from gallery to gallery: photography, small-scale installation and artists’ performances. SoCO will also introduce their social action & policy work to the public and ArtWalk participants in a one-week exhibition.

For more information and ticketing information, head to ArtWalk’s website.

Sprig & Sprout (2317 Wisconsin Ave.) is launching two Facebook-related drawings for free food and drink.

Starting this week, the Vietnamese restaurant will reimburse the lunch order of one customer every Tuesday between 11 am and 4 pm. On Tuesday mornings, Sprig & Sprout’s owners will post a random number on the restaurant’s Facebook page. When a customer’s order number matches that random number, the customer’s order (up to $20 worth) will be reimbursed. See the restaurant’s website for rules.

Along with that weekly lunch lottery, the restaurant is holding a monthly raffle for a gift certificate—and the more people enter, the bigger that certificate will be. To enter, post a photo of yourself eating at Sprig & Sprout on their Facebook page according to the contest rules.

Sprig & Sprout already hosts very popular tasting dinners that tend to sell out well in advance. The new contests are meant to engage customers in a more spontaneous way, says co-owner Jennifer Hoang. “We decided we wanted to be more interactive with our customers, plus have a little more fun on Facebook,” Hoang stated in a press release. “It makes eating here a bit more fun, and possibly rewarding.”

The  monthly supper club at Sprig & Sprout (2317 Wisconsin Ave.) will be 100% vegan this month, according to a press release. “We worked with the female monks of Bien An Tu Temple to develop a taste bud tantalizing and guilt-free meal!” the release states. “Join us upstairs, as owner Jen [Hoang] walks you through 7 courses of what Buddhists have been eating for centuries. The original date of February 17  sold out, so the restaurant has added a second seating on Monday, February 24.

The seven-course prix fixe menu will include Goi Ngo Sen Chay (Salad of Lotus Stem, White Tremella Mushrooms, Carrots, Cucumber, and seasoned Bean Curd with a mix of Viet Herbs) and Canh Chua Chay (Sweet & Sour Tamarind Soup with Pineapples, Tomatoes, Okra, and Ngo Om). The dinner costs $40 per person; reservations are required and there’s a no-cancellation policy. For information or to make a reservation, email management@sprigandsproutdc.com or call 202-333-2569 and ask for Jen.

On July 29, Sprig & Sprout (2317 Wisconsin Ave.) will host a reservations-only dinner in its upstairs bar: its first monthly Monday Supper Club. “Enjoy 7 courses of authentic Vietnamese dishes as owner Jennifer walks you through the history and ingredients of each dish,” the Vietnamese restaurant’s website states. “This is cozy family-style comfort food meant to fill your belly, awaken your taste buds, and expand your foodie knowledge.” Here’s the menu for the July “club” meeting:

Banh Bot Loc (Steamed Transparent Shrimp & Pork Dumplings)
Sup Mang Cua (Fresh Picked Crab and Asparagus Soup)
Goi Ngo Sen (Young Lotus Stem Salad with Pork and Shrimp)
Bo Luc Lac (Sauteed Flank Steak Tips over a bed of Marinated Watercress and Pickled Onions)

Rau Cai Lan Xao Toi (Sauteed Chinese Broccoli with Garlic)

Sprig & Sprout (2317 Wisconsin Ave.) will celebrate the opening of its upstairs bar with a cocktail party from 4 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, July 11. Drinks will be at happy hour prices, and Vietnamese finger foods such as pork-and-shrimp eggrolls and lemongrass beef skewers will be on the house. There’s no admission charge, but space at the event is limited, so if you’d like to go, RSVP via Twitter or  Facebook, or in person at the restaurant.

“Drastic changes are happening here at Sprig & Sprout,” boasts the website of the Vietnamese restaurant at 2317 Wisconsin Ave. “Our new menu is out! The upstairs is open. Stop in for happy hour!” In contrast to the brightly lit, eat-in-or-carry-out pho café downstairs, the upstairs bar offers table service in a cozy atmosphere. The upstairs menu includes appetizers as well as an array of alcoholic drinks.

From the April 2013 edition of the Glover Park Gazette:

On February 20, the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board cancelled the liquor license for Margarita’s Restaurant (formerly at 2317 Wisconsin, the current home of Sprig & Sprout). The licensee, Maria Villalta, closed Margarita’s several years ago. Lately, she has tried unsuccessfully to find a new location for her restaurant or a buyer for her license.

Under Glover Park’s liquor license moratorium, up to 14 restaurants in the neighborhood are allowed to have full-service restaurant (CR) licenses. At press time, the former Margarita’s license was one of two Glover Park CR licenses that were unused and unapplied-for, according to an Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration spokesman.

The closing of Mayfair & Pine (2218 Wisconsin Ave.) and Kavanagh’s Pizza Pub (2400 Wisconsin Ave.) has left two more Glover Park CR licenses idle, though the Kavanagh’s license will soon be put to use at Arcuri, a trattoria slated to open in late April. The liquor license for JP’s Night Club (2412 Wisconsin Ave.), expected to reopen in May, is a nightclub (CN) license.

Maria Villalta, the owner of a dormant Glover Park liquor license, has been unable to sell the license, according to a letter her attorney sent the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board on December 31. Villalta used the license when she operated Margarita’s Restaurant at 2317 Wisconsin Ave., now the home of Sprig & Sprout. The ABC Board has said that they will cancel Villalta’s license unless she sells it or starts using it again herself.

Because she cannot find a buyer, Villalta has been “exploring the possibility of keeping the license and opening her own establishment,” the attorney’s letter states. She has been talking to the owner of the vacant tan condo building at 2136 Wisconsin Ave., three doors up from Monarch Paints, but the cost of constructing a kitchen there might be prohibitive. Villalta may seek to use the license in another part of DC, the letter states.

Wanted: 360 Friends of Helios

Friends of Eclipse is a successful program to allow individuals in the greater Eclipse community to contribute back to Eclipse.   Not everyone has the time or the ability to contribute code, write documentation, write tutorials or even open bugs but lots of people have been happy to contribute $35 to be a Friend of Eclipse.  Right now we have 494 Friends of Eclipse and of course we would like more.  :-)

Therefore, we are starting a new campaign to recruit 360 Friends of Helios.  Eclipse 3.6 is part of the Helios release, so we thought 360 new Friends would be a good goal.  Last year we ran a recruitment campaign for Galileo that resulted in 137 new Friends.    This year we are being a lot more aggressive in our goal but I know the community won’t let us down.    To keep track of our progress we have created a Friends of Helios status bar.

A fun benefit of being a Friend of Eclipse is that you will get early access to the Helios release.  This gives you instant bragging rights with your friends and colleagues.  :-)  Please consider joining now and help support our drive for 360 Friends of Helios.

For those that like the small print, we will count friends that join from May 1 to July 31th towards our 360 target.   We will also count towards the target individuals that renew their Friends membership during this time period.

2 Responses to Wanted: 360 Friends of Helios

  1. […] is looking for friends If you want to help out Eclipse, consider becoming a “Friend of Helios.” They are looking for 360 folks to donate to […]

Managing Switching Costs In Multiperiod Procurements With Strategic Buyers

  • Tracy R. Lewis
  • Huseyin Yildirim

This article examines the use of switching costs by long-lived strategic buyers to manage dynamic competition between rival suppliers. The analysis reveals how buyers may employ switching costs to their advantage. We show that when switching costs are high, a buyer may induce suppliers to price more competitively by credibly threatening to replace the incumbent supplier with his rivals. The implications of this finding for adoption of technology and firm organization are explored in settings in which the buyer is integrated with the suppliers and where the buyer is an outsourcer.
