INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables make it easy to
monitor transactions and diagnose possible locking problems. The
three tables are
INNODB_LOCKS, and
INNODB_TRX: Contains information about every transaction currently executing inside
InnoDB, including whether the transaction is waiting for a lock, when the transaction started, and the particular SQL statement the transaction is executing.
INNODB_LOCKS: Each transaction in InnoDB that is waiting for another transaction to release a lock (
INNODB_TRX.TRX_STATE='LOCK WAIT') is blocked by exactly one "blocking lock request". That blocking lock request is for a row or table lock held by another transaction in an incompatible mode. The waiting or blocked transaction cannot proceed until the other transaction commits or rolls back, thereby releasing the requested lock. For every blocked transaction,
INNODB_LOCKScontains one row that describes each lock the transaction has requested, and for which it is waiting.
INNODB_LOCKSalso contains one row for each lock that is blocking another transaction, whatever the state of the transaction that holds the lock (
'ROLLING BACK'or
'COMMITTING'). The lock that is blocking a transaction is always held in a mode (read vs. write, shared vs. exclusive) incompatible with the mode of requested lock.
INNODB_LOCK_WAITS: Using this table, you can tell which transactions are waiting for a given lock, or for which lock a given transaction is waiting. This table contains one or more rows for each blocked transaction, indicating the lock it has requested and any locks that are blocking that request. The
REQUESTED_LOCK_IDrefers to the lock that a transaction is requesting, and the
BLOCKING_LOCK_IDrefers to the lock (held by another transaction) that is preventing the first transaction from proceeding. For any given blocked transaction, all rows in
INNODB_LOCK_WAITShave the same value for
REQUESTED_LOCK_IDand different values for

For the second time in as many weeks, Fallon was at the center of the Northern Nevada youth football universe.
About 60 teams from Lake Tahoe, Fallon, Portola and Quincy, Calif., Reno, Carson City, Minden and Fernley converged for the Sagebrush Empire Pop Warner league's annual jamboree at the Churchill County Regional Fields.
Players officially weighed in and participated in several scrimmages before the regular season kicks off Sept. 8.
Fallon Pop Warner president Ralph Ratti said the event ran smooth and was a hit amongst visitors. It was the first time Fallon hosted the event, and the city and county was well prepared.
"We had a good crowd," Ratti said. "Everything went smooth ... we finished on time and had no major glitches."
The scrimmages allowed teams to practice against an opponent and was used as a tool for preparations still needed before the season. The Regional Fields consisted of five field cut in half to allow 10 scrimmages at once.
Teams played for 30 minutes and split their time between offense and defense. Hundreds of youth football players roamed the fields while friends and family watched from the sidelines.
"When I walked through ... they were all saying good show and it's best it's been," Ratti said.
The future of the event, meanwhile, is up for discussion, according to Ratti. He said Sagebrush Empire president, Robert Bates, was impressed and is willing to listen to a proposal from the Fallon league in hopes of hosting the event next year.
Ratti said he wasn't sure if Pop Warner would agree to a contract, as was the case with the Sierra Youth Football League, but said it's a possibility.
"If the league wants to do something like that, it's fine with me," he added.
Fallon secured the jamboree after consulting with the Head League Authority. Fallon Pop Warner provided all concessions, bounce house and was aided by Fallon Convention and Tourism Authority executive director Rick Gray with shade tents and parking plans.
In addition, the league and city worked together to secure discounts at hotels and several local businesses.
"We worked all summer on it," Ratti explained. "This year, we are going to ask for it earlier and work a lot harder on it."
Ratti also hopes the attention generated from the jamboree will increase participation in Pop Warner. The league took a hit when the Sierra Youth Football League was created, but the league added teams from Fernley this season.
"We would always like more kids," Ratti said. "The parents and coaches are all on board. This is the best I've seen it 23, 24 years."
The Fallon league will also host its annual Fun Day on Sept. 7. The festivities include bounce houses, concessions, player introductions and conclude with a bonfire.

90210's AnnaLynne McCord got a splash of surprise while hosting the MGM Grand's Wet Republic pool party in Las Vegas: the unexpected arrival of Twilight hottie Kellan Lutz. The two, who have been linked for months, escaped prying eyes behind the curtains in their VIP cabana. When he left, Lutz sported a baseball cap and tried to sneak away inconspicuously. Meanwhile, McCord spent time at the pool with her sister, Angel, and the two checked out Cirque du Soleil's Mystère at the Treasure Island Hotel later that night.

I would suggest that if you're going to compare political voting and such to anything, perhaps buying a car is a smarter analogy.
What do you or should you want in a Politician? Well what do you want in a car? I want a car with great shocks, maneuverability, and tires that can handle all kinds of terrain, weather, and curves.
Translation: I want a politician that can handle crisis and the unexpected, deal with conflict and 'rough patches' and have the knowledge and skin to deal with those issues and handle them properly.
I want a car with a great airbag system and comfortable seat belt that isn't going to cut my throat.
Translation: I want a politician who can protect the control from turmoil; I want a president that won't just throw caution to the wind and give up.
When I buy a car, I'm less concerned with how cool it looks and more concerned with the structure of the car, how safe and strong the body of the car is. How protective it'll be if I'm ever in an accident.
Translation: I want a president who'll design a cabinet, not based on party or popularity but on who has the best ideals, the most integrity, and the best track record.
When I buy a car, I want one that has bright headlights and quality mirrors that allow me to see everything including the blind spots.
Translation: I want a president who can take the time to look at an issue from all angles. How it has affected us in the past, how it affects us now, and how it'll affect us in the future.
Lastly, I want a car that isn't going to cost me a ton of money and put me into debt for the rest of my life.
Translation: I want a president that is going to be smart about spending and not drive up taxes to the point of crippling the economy as it has been for the last several years.
Everything I just described is what everyone should want in a president; I probably just described the perfect president, which doesn't exist. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't strive for it. That doesn't mean we shouldn't want it or demand it. In many ways I didn't just describe what I look for when voting, I described what we should look for while a president is in office.
The next time you get an opportunity to vote for a president, take a serious look at every candidate, think, truly think about what you want in a president and cast your vote with conviction. Because after it's all said and done and you've "signed the paperwork," there is no turning back.

Just four years ago, Kyaw Kyee was jobless and languishing in a Thai refugee camp. Today, he owns Hill Tribe Transportation – a fast-growing taxi business on Buffalo's West Side.
"Hill Tribe is another example of the refugee entrepreneurial happenings in Buffalo," said Eva M. Hassett, executive director of the International Institute of Buffalo. "They are a great role model."
In an industry dominated by larger and long-established livery firms, Hill Tribe is making a name for itself by targeting the area's burgeoning refugee population. It provides transportation for the International Institute and clients of Journey's End Refugee Services. The car service is also used largely by local Burmese and other refugees.
"We are grateful we are here to help refugees like us," Kyee said.
While the fledgling company has found a niche market, it does serve the entire region – from the suburbs to the airports to Ontario.
"A lot of refugees use us, but we go everywhere and pick up everybody," Kyee said. "We do business with everybody, and we have senior citizens discounts and student discounts."
The family business operates around the clock, and accepts reservations on its website. It averages 20 to 25 calls a day.
"We work all day long," Kyee said.
Kyee, a Burmese refugee, arrived in Buffalo in 2008. He founded Hill Tribe Transportation last year. He didn't want to be on his feet for hours, working shifts in a factory or restaurant, so he became a taxi driver in 2010.
"I love driving job because it is better than standing eight hours," he said.
After working for other taxi companies, Kyee decided to start his own business.
"I learned the business from places I worked and from other drivers I worked with," he said.
He turned his 2011 Toyota Camry into his first taxi, and Hill Tribe was off and running. The company got its name because of the Burmese fascination with nature, and Kyee hails from the Asian country's Hill tribe.
Kyee put his relatives to work as drivers and dispatchers. Kyee and his three sons are the company's drivers. Other family members chip in with administrative duties.
By saving and pooling their resources, the family added three vehicles, including two minivans.
The International Institute has called on Hill Tribe to supplement its transportation services as needed. Kyee is a former client of the agency.
Hassett said Hill Tribe is able to provide newer refugees the support services they need. For example, drivers for Hill Tribe know to knock on the doors and search through apartment buildings for customers when they arrive for pickups.
"Being a refugee, [Kyee] understands how sometimes people from another culture need extra support," Hassett said.
The institute is looking to hire Hill Tribe to transport its clients to jobs in locations where public transportation is not available.
Additionally, the company is used by Social Services to carry Medicaid patients to doctors appointments.
Kyee said his business is growing, and the company is becoming well known.
"It's going really good. We get more and more customers," he said. "We hand out our business cards every time."

PITTSBURGH - The Pittsburgh Steelers went 8-8, which is the definition of mediocrity.
Some people make the case that the close nature of many of the losses indicates they're not that far from something better. You know the theory: A play here, a play there, and they're in the playoffs.
Given the Steelers' disappointing season, it was refreshing to see Kevin Colbert, the city's least-quoted general manager, confront the smell in the room. He said the Steelers weren't good enough and need to work at getting better.
That contradicts chairman Art Rooney II's inexplicably more sunny outlook, which blamed injuries and, incredibly, credited Mike Tomlin with doing a good job. Assuming Colbert has the authority to run things, maybe there's hope that the Steelers can realistically take a look at some of their weaknesses and address them.
When you finish third in the division, that's indisputable evidence that you have literally fallen behind the Ravens and Bengals, both of whom made the playoffs. Self-delusion doesn't cure the problems. So it's time to chop away at the deadwood, and start making improvements.
That could start with attitude. Now that Todd Haley is staying, it's imperative that he and Ben Roethlisberger exist on the same page. Instead of endorsing Tomlin for an 8-8 season, tell him that things may have started to go south when Haley and Roethlisberger were dancing away from each other soon after the coordinator was hired. Tomlin should have put a stop to that nonsense before it ever started.
There's a lot that needs to be done to get the Steelers back to a championship level. The smartest thing ownership could do is stay out of the way and let Colbert do it.
Missing question
It would have been interesting to hear how Rooney might have responded to a key question that apparently wasn't asked:
Why did you lie about Bruce Arians' firing and call it a "retirement?"
If it was designed to protect Arians' pride, the strategy was misguided. He's been in coaching a long time and knows how things work. The deception didn't fool anybody anyway.
If you fired the guy, be accountable and say so.
History lesson
The truly awful 1969 Steelers, Chuck Noll's first team, was 1-13. They lost six of those games by seven points or less. That didn't mean they were close to anything except a need to overhaul the roster.
When the team started winning in 1972, the turnover had been significant.
Close doesn't count. The 1969 Steelers were 1-13, and they were as awful as that record indicates.
Staying safe
A lot of athletes could save themselves money and aggravation with imaginary girlfriends.

Hey I hope this works I am trying to make a poll asking about you guys' favorite lubes for use in the FL.

Love the fleshlube, gun oil h2o isn't bad either as those are the ones I have tried, fleshlube water and ice are great for the summer, have yet to try fleshlube fire but when it gets cold I will.
i use slippery stuff, the gel kind. it's the only lube i've used, and i find it can dry up quickly.
I use Probe thick lubricant. It's perfect and made with the least amount of potentially harmful chemicals.
I'm using Gun Oil now and I like it better than any lube I tried before it.
i cant say enough about xanthan gum...
the cheapest way possible to make lube (i bought a 1/2 pound bag for 11 dollars) it only takes about 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum to make 16 ounces of lube.
its very slippery... so awesome really brings out the texture of FL
it doesnt get sticky
you barely ever have to re-apply it
god i love this shit... 11 dollars of xanthan gum will last a few years probably..
best lube ever..
if u havent tried it u really should.
im never buying lube again
ID Glide. it was the first lube I ever used and the best i've tried so far. I haven't tried fleshlube or gun oil, but have tried astroglide and didn't like how sticky it is, or how short it lasts.
I use system jo h2o, it's available at my local cvs, but I pick it up from a local specialty shop. I've used several other brands of lubes and find they dry out way too fast.
I have just placed an order lastnight for
(WET) Warming Lubricant
Should be here tuesday/wedsday
Lets see how it is!
id glide is shit. Astroglide numero uno
Xanthan gum - cheap, natural, you can prepare it as you like, $11 per gallon, 100% water based, not sticky,... should I continue?
ID glide was good.
Astroglide, Fleshlube isn't bad either but doesn't last as long.
+1 !!! And it really doesn't get sticky, unlike some others I could mention.
I'm still kicking myself in the ass for buying soo much lube over the years!
(I'm seriously wondering if I will I ever stop kicking myself in the ass???? )

For some reason with XG, astroglide, and a few others I've always needed to have a bowl of water around for rewetting. Only exclusion was the trial vial of Id Glide that came with my FL, which is why i'm ordering a big bottle with my new sleeve that's on the way.
For the record, no, I've never used a petroleum/silicone lube with my FL, i'm talking j/o on that one.
Last edited by krazygluon; 01-19-2011 at 04:24 PM. Reason: Fix boneheaded omission
Gun Oil all the way, then again I have never used Wet, but I am interested.
I have used Wet, Fleshlub and Gun Oil. So far I like Gun Oil. I have seen some others I would like to try but I need to be able to buy in a small amount in case I don't like it.
Mine is not listed *cry* Intimate organics Hydra glide, it's amazing and it has this arousal smell to it
Where did you find it? Intimate organics Hydra glide I will try looking it up on line. I am always interested in lubes and how they work.
I've used the flesh lube samples. Used wet. I got a ton of gun oil from all the flg I bought since September, prob enough for a flight a day for two months.
I have used id glide and astroglide, they work very well but are more ecconomical to use thinned with water, i have used the tresemme hair conditioners for years with no problems, again thinned with water, very cheap in the 900ml bottles and don't dry out like other lubes.
Well Gun Oil had a 16oz bottle for 20 bucks or so. That was the best value as everything else was 1/2 the price for about 1/3 the oz.
I've been using Gun Oil H20 for a few years now and slightly prefer it over the others in the poll, though I'd have been happy with any of them. But until recently no lube I've used with a fleshlight ever made me think "this is so exceptional I never want to use anything else again". A few weeks ago I tried a sample of Probe Thick Rich lube that came with an order of Gun Oil and was just blown away. I honestly had no idea that the choice of lube could have that much of a difference, but it really does.
Probe Sounds interesting. Is it really safe for fleshlights? I read that it has vegetable glycerin polyethylene oxide grapefruit seed extract in it. Will that harm the fleshlight in any way?
Oh, I use astroglide and couldn't be more happy. I did use fleshlube before that, and found that it went dry quicker than astroglide.
I purchased several bottles of Gun Oil and like it, but then several months ago while at the sex store I frequent I was talking to them about the fact my wife says it still has a sticky feeling to it so they recommended Jo Personal H2o and they had a sample bottle I could put in my hand and it seemed a lot slicker and I never felt the stickiness afterwards so I purchased a 16oz bottle. The last time I went to the sex store I found another one they let me test and it seems good too and that is Sliquid H2o Natural Intimate and I have not opened that bottle yet but I got the largest bottle they had of that to see how that goes.
So far I do not have a favorite but after I get through using them with my Fleshlights I may have a favorite.
What is the consistency of gun oil? How does it fair between astroglide and ID? Astroglide is still my top lube.
My Favorite right now is Astroglide Gel. I put in a good amount and can fly for a long time. It doesn't leak out the top and dry out as fast as regular Astro glide. I also liked Liquid silk.
Have had a Wonder wave for at least 5 years and its just starting to go bad. Still my favorite sleeve.
Perhaps it's tricky question to ask you guys which lube is best for me, but I guess it's differ from person to person. But, what you would recommend me if I want to have so realistic experience to a woman's vagina? I ask, because I have no experience of that, yet.
I have so far, only tried fleshlube water, and I think it was okay.
After trying so many lubes, I would honestly say that (for me) astroglide feels the closest to vaginal moisture.
i have ordered ID glide and fleshlube waterwith my 1st fl bihive.
ill tell ya wat i think is better.
I use Aloe Cadabra. Since I have been using it, I can't use anything else.
Thank you very much. Walmart has a small bag for $8.79
Gun Oil H20. It's slicker than the other water based lubes I've tried and it also doesn't stay sticky unlike ID Pleasure or Astroglide.
Gun oil is my favorite and now it's back for sale on the Euro site.
I have only ever used liquid silk, so can't compare but I am happy with the results it gives.
I have tried KY water based warming jelly, which I did not care for at all. Astroglide is good, but very runny. My preferred lube is Conditioner. easy to clean up, smells good, inconspicuous, and over the month and a half/two months of regular use I have not seen any deterioration to the insert.
Last edited by Deej; 01-13-2014 at 07:16 PM.
Hi everybody,
We actually do not recommend that people use conditioners as lubricants. A lot of conditioners (though probably not all of them) contain ingredients that could damage your Fleshlight. In addition, having something scented like that can cause irritation to your urethra (pee hole) with prolonged exposure. You could get a yeast infection or just general irritation. Thanks!
I put my vote down for Astroglide as well, but ID Glide's a close second, much thicker than ID Pleasure, which itself isn't bad if you want something a bit lighter.
I started FL-ing with ID Wet and just found it okay enough to get the job done...when I tried ID Glide later, it blew it away and I basically never went back once I finished the bottle of Wet.
Now here's an odd one: I had an unopened bottle of Wet laying around that I tried yesterday with my Misty Bump-N-Grind for the first time just for kicks, after a year or two of not using Wet. While not as "comfy" or "realistic" in the slippery department as ID Glide or Astroglide, interestingly, I could feel a lot more of the texture and lasted much longer than usual. Go figure...

Sometimes, it pays to be secretive: Isis Pharmaceuticals received a $5 million milestone payment from GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) toward the development of a drug to treat an undisclosed rare and serious disease. Isis will develop the drug to Phase II proof-of-concept, at which time GSK has the option to license it.
"We are pleased to have achieved this milestone so early in our collaboration with GSK. This alliance is an important step in enhancing our focus on rare disease, and we are excited to move our third drug in this area into our pipeline," said Stanley T. Crooke, M.D., Ph.D., chairman and CEO of Isis. "Under this new model of partnership we are able to retain control of this asset to facilitate its rapid development, while benefiting from GSK's expertise and new focus in rare diseases, and financially from milestone payments even before GSK exercises its license option at Phase II proof-of-concept."
In March 2010, Isis entered into a strategic alliance with GSK to develop RNA therapeutics for rare and infectious diseases, with the specific aim of applying Isis' antisense drug discovery platform toward the discovery and development of new therapeutics against targets for rare and serious diseases, including infectious diseases and some conditions causing blindness. The agreement covers up to six programs. Isis received an up-front $35 million payment from GSK and is eligible to receive license fees and milestone payments, totaling nearly $1.5 billion, in the event all six programs are successfully developed for one or more indications and commercialized through to pre-agreed sales targets.
The first $5 million milestone payment was made five months into the partnership for an equally mysterious development candidate. In May 2011, the launch of a Phase I study of ISIS-TTRRx in transthyretin amyloidosis—the first antisense drug to enter development under the alliance—triggered another $5 million payment.

Time to trim back social programs
June 25, 2013
Liberals insist President Barack Obama's "stimulus" program has worked to pull the nation out of the economic doldrums....
Good examples Kozy exactly the type things that I said they need some constraints put on them. If The federal government was required to operate only on the money that they had coming in and had a cap on the limit that they could tax I don't think they would be doing these things. Also a good thing would be to have each item stand on it's own and do away with these multiple spending issues on a bill. The pork barrel issues would soon disappear. Another problem is the federal government needs to stick to national and international issues and get their noses out of State and local government issues. Let the States take care of their own problems in their own way.

There is also the "Alaska seafood special"—language slipped into the bill by Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Mark Begich (D-AK) that will allow seafood processors to hire young foreign workers through a summer work travel program.
Cornyn is not alone in decrying the immigration bill's taxpayer-funded crony giveaways to favored industries. Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) said the bill is so riddled with corporate concessions that it "reads like a Christmas wish list for Haliburton."
And last but not least...the bill's inclusion of a crony capitalism casino kickback to Las Vegas casinos, inserted successfully by Sens. Harry Reid (D-NV) and Dean Heller (R-NV).
Sorry, but this is way wrong!

USA Today says the resort and au pair agency language will be a boon to these businesses:
The changes to the bill follow aggressive lobbying by resorts, au pair agencies and other industries that rely on the J-1 cultural-exchange visa program, which allows foreigners to enter the USA through 14 categories, ranging from interns to visiting scholars. The largest number, nearly 92,000 last year, entered as part of the summer-work travel category, federal records show. An additional 18,000 worked as camp counselors and nearly 14,000 as au pairs.
Businesses that hire these visa holders save money because they don't have to pay unemployment taxes, Medicare or Social Security. Participants must also have their own health insurance, another cost savings.
I thought there was an agreement to stop this pork practice!

Lobbyists for resorts, au pair agencies, and the seafood industry successfully slipped special-interest perks into the Senate immigration bill, reports USA Today. And Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) successfully fought to include in the bill a $1.5 billion taxpayer-funded set aside for youth jobs programs.
The revelations are just the latest in what is shaping up to be a pork-laden immigration bill, says Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX).
"You're left with a bill that's chockfull of de facto earmarks, pork-barrel spending and special interest sweeteners, a bill that increase the on-budget deficit, but fails to guarantee a border that's secure and offers only promises, which historically Congress has been very, very, very, very bad about keeping," said Cornyn on Wednesday.

Ladybug says"You cut food stamps and build tanks and jet engines we don't need .What world do you 2 live in ?" I assume you mean Kozy and I? Did you read what I wrote Bug? I said nothing about food stamps or tanks. I said it was compromise that got this federal budget completely out of whack. Compromise is what has built bridges to nowhere, corporate giveaways, and yes over the top social programs like Obama phones. Like I said it is lack of restraints put on the federal government spending that has caused this mess. If they were not allowed to spend more than they had and was not allowed to increase tax rates without a vote of the people this would be a totally different country. It would also be a fiscally sound country with a more stable economy. I think I live in the real world where change is possible and one thing is for certain it can't go on like this for ever. Eventually we will have to pay the piper.

Actually Ladybug it is compromise that has gotten us into the mess that we are in now. Want to get a bill passed? Put a little pork in it for the opposition so they will vote for it just to get their pork barrel issues passed. We don't need compromise what we need is spending caps put on them that can not be raised without a vote of the people. We also need caps on taxes that can not be raised without a vote of the people. The federal government has an open check book that they can just keep spending without ever looking at the balance. They can raise taxes at will also. Compromise no!! Constraints put on them yes. But how do we do that? I think we have to get past party politics and vote for people that are willing to permanently change it and with an amendment to the constitution requiring those constraints. If there is one flaw in our constitution it is lack of federal government constraint as far as taxing and spending goes. The way it is now it's the fox watching the hen house

WASHINGTON — Efforts to keep interest rates on new student loans from doubling appeared to be falling apart Wednesday as the Democratic leader of the Senate declared a bipartisan proposal unacceptable.
The proposal seemed to stall even before it had a chance to be considered.
The chamber's top Democrat, Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, said he would not let it come up for a vote.
Undeterred, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., said Wed. he would introduce the legislation on Thurs., along with Republican collaborators Sen. Coburn of Oklahoma, Sen. Alexander of Tennessee and Sen. Burr of North Carolina. Sen. King of Maine, an independent, also signed on to the plan.
And, who's fault is this?

Background: Combinations of lenalidomide (LEN), bortezomib (BORT), and dexamethasone (DEX) have demonstrated preclinical and clinical activity in patients (pts) with multiple myeloma. Pomalidomide with low-dose DEX (LoDEX) has demonstrated efficacy in RRMM pts treated with prior LEN and BORT. MM-005 was designed to identify the optimal PVD dose for a phase 3 trial comparing PVD vs BORT + LoDEX (VD) in RRMM (MM-007).
Methods: Eligible pts had RRMM with 1-4 prior therapies including ≥ 2 consecutive cycles of LEN and a proteasome inhibitor. Pts must have been refractory to LEN (progressive disease [PD] during or within 60 days of LEN treatment), but not refractory to BORT (at 1.3 mg/m2 twice-weekly). The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was determined using a 3 + 3 design in 5 cohorts. Each cohort received 21-day cycles of POM 1-4mg/day on D1-14; BORT 1-1.3mg/m2on D1, 4, 8, 11; and LoDEX 20mg/day on D1-2, 4-5, 8-9, 11-12. An expansion cohort was enrolled at the MTD. Treatment was continued until PD or unacceptable toxicity. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were assessed during cycle 1. The primary endpoint was MTD; secondary endpoints were safety, overall response rate (ORR; ≥ partial response), duration of response, and time to response (TTR).
Results: As of Dec 31, 2012, 21 pts were enrolled (3 pts per escalating dose cohort; 6 in the expansion cohort). Median age was 57 years (36-75). All were LEN-refractory and had prior BORT. No DLTs were observed at any dose level. The most common grade 3/4 adverse events (AEs) were neutropenia (32%) and thrombocytopenia (21%). With thromboprophylaxis, no deep vein thrombosis was observed. 17 pts remain on study and no pts have discontinued treatment due to AE. Thus far, the ORR was 72% (n = 18 evaluable) and responses were rapid (median TTR, 2 cycles).
Conclusions: PVD was well-tolerated in RRMM with no DLTs and no discontinuations due to AE to date. PVD has promising activity with a current ORR of 72%. The maximum planned dose of POM 4mg/day on D1-14; BORT 1.3mg/m2 on D1, 4, 8, and 11; and DEX 20mg on D1-2, 4-5, 8-9, 11-12 of a 21-day cycle has now been incorporated into the MM-007 phase III trial comparing PVD with VD in RRMM pts (N = 782 planned).

February 9, 2013, 07:49 PM
I recently found steel plate armor at ar500armor.com which is pretty affordable. I know it's heavier than ceramic, but is it a good product otherwise? Also, how good are their plate carriers?

dunno but read this thread for some things to consider
February 16, 2013, 01:56 AM
FWIW, the US Military was sold on the bed liner to prevent spalling and used to require it on almost all vehicular armor, after they actually tested it, full reversal, it's banned from use in most contracts. It spalls every bit as badly, and in many cases worse than the original surface.
Real deal SAPI plates are expensive, but they flat out work. Lightweight, and easy to wear, 22 pounds of steel is a lot of weight to hump around, especially when you're probably still going to be badly injured by the spall anyway. If you have an honest need for body armor, you need body armor that works.
Be wary of any low cost SAPI plates, there are tons of them failing and being rejected by the DoD, I wouldn't doubt that they're being sold on the civilian market.
February 16, 2013, 02:34 AM
Even among lvl 4 SAPI, weight varies. I been issued some that are heavy by themselves, and others same protection lvl w/half the weight.
February 16, 2013, 09:11 AM
Some sort of truck liner seemed pretty effective on small arms fire with this guy's product, which is a AR500 plate with a bedliner variation. He tests a bare plate in a carrier (shredded to bits) vs a plate with some sort of bedliner-like coating: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCw1XHFDpTk
However wee need to keep in mind these AR500 plate products might be bargains but generally you get what you pay for. Not that they don't work, because gongs and IPSCs are made from AR500 and work fine for decades. Simply, a lot more money, materials, research, and testing goes into the big name brands that get certification, and you pay accordingly for proven products.

Didn't see any threads about this awesome gem coming from Klei, so I thought I'd start one. Anyone buy it from Steam yet? Dying to talk about it, with other players. I'm sure my twitter feed is sick of me talking about it.
Well I haven't got it but it looks interesting, what exactly do you do in it? Is it a survival game?
No idea what this is. Googled it and it seems like a black and white Harvest Moon? Sounds cool to me! The update posters are beyond awesome:
Yes, its a survival game. You have to collect resources and combine them into other stuff, fight monsters, gather and grow food and grow an awesome beard, or be other 'hidden' characters. Most fun I've had in the genre since Terraria (and more so than that one). All of that stuff wrapped up in a 2D Tim Burton-esque art style. Even in the current beta (which is updated every 2 weeks) its a complete and awesome game and they keep adding stuff. The support from Klei is downright amazing.
NEW UPDATE TOMORROW! Squeeee! I'm excited. Looks like we get some turf building abilities to make our camps all sexy and less likely to catch fire. Check out the trailer at dontstarvegame.com
I bought it directly from the official website as it worked out that little bit cheaper than Steam, and I have a couple of friends who wanted to try it out who have Macs and I got 2 Steam copies and 2 Chrome copies. I love it, very fun to play! The art style is great. I gotta admit that I'm not very good at it though! I know a lot of people have survived for 200+ days... I got to around 13...
I've been playing it on Chrome and love it. I've played the 20minute demo more than I consider sane.
There's a demo? :?
I played this awhile back. It didn't really grab me like Minecraft or Terraria did.
I read Phil's Cblog and now I'm curious. Might have to dig out a spot in my backlog for this.
If anyone cares, I'll be posting another diary blog probably by Tuesday. Don't want to recap my own shit this weekend (already feel weird capping the show) and I am busy tomorrow.
So how much progress has anybody made in this? I think I'm at about day 30 and I've research most of everything available through the two science machines.
That's right, the latest enhancements to the Don't Starve experience are aptly named "Progress!". As of today you will be able to take advantage of a bevy of new features. Here's a small sample. For the full list, head over to our forums to discuss.
You can escape the world by finding... things... and doing... stuff with them.
New Research Method:
Under the new research method, you unlock access to tiers of recipes by building research machines. This is a big change, so we've made it optional when you start a new world.
New Character:
Wickerbottom the librarian can be unlocked with XP. She gets a bonus research tier, because she is so smart.
New Creatures:
There arebaby beefalo. You can eat them, if you are a terrible person.
Disgusting worm mouths are sprinkled throughout new worlds. I dare you to click on one!
There is a new, elusive herbivore that you can hunt. He is hard to find, and harder to catch. He drops some unique loot and lots of meat.
New Craftables:
You can build three types of defensive walls (straw, wood, and stone).
You can make wooden floor tiles and place them like turf.
You can make a boomerang and throw it at other creatures.
You can build a pitchfork, which takes over turfing duties from the shovel.
You can craft a nice, comfy summer vest. How dashing!
There are a ton of other fixes, tweaks and enhancements. For the full break down, check out this most informative forum post.
Trailer: http://kleientertainment.us2.list-ma...4&e=323f9df2e7
Pretty stoked for this one as it adds an endgame to shoot for finally, based on the story. Not that I'll ever want to really end my game more than once for each character, but its nice its there.
Oh snap, walls and floors!? Damnit, I might have to upgrade from the demo now.......
Fucking Phil....
New Character:
Wes! Do you think Don't Starve is too easy? Try playing as Wes, the mime! He's not good at doing anything!
The player character loses sanity when he is left alone in the dark, gets close to scary monsters, or does crazy things like eating monster meat or jumping through a wormhole. Sanity can be regained through acts of dapperness, like wearing fancy clothes in the sunshine and eating candy.
Low sanity is not fatal, but strange creatures from another time and place are attracted to madness. There are new, powerful items that can be built from the nightmare fuel that they leave behind when killed.
Save Slots:
You can have up to four save games at once now. Your existing save will be imported into the first slot when you start the game for the first time.
Sandbox Mode:
This is the game as you all know it. There will eventually be a customization screen before you start a level, but you just get the default generation for now.
Experimental Adventure Mode:
When you start a new game, you can choose to play in adventure (ie story) mode. Currently, there are five levels of difficulty as you progress through the levels. This is an early test, so we have a lot of work to do to make these levels meaningful and fun. We also need to add the story's ending. This is for experienced DS players who want a taste of the future.
Monsters and followers can navigate around corners and walls.
Mod Support (steam only):
Modding is now allowed! We're distributing the the source scripts with the game, so have a look in data/scripts, and see what you can do. There is an example (machine-translated) French language pack included with the game to get you started.
See the modding forum for more details: http://forums.kleientertainment.com/...Mods-amp-Tools
New Craftables:
- Bush Hat - Hide from your enemies in plain sight.
- Night light - Light your nights with nightmare fuel.
- Night Armour - Protects the flesh, but sacrifices the mind.
- Night Sword - Live by the sword, go crazy by the sword.
- Cobbles - Build your own roads.
- Taffy + Pumpkin Cookies - New recipes! Mmmmmmm!
- The tent is cheaper to make, and doesn't restore health any more.
- Natural roads are curvy and look better.
- There is a way for non-wilson characters to find beard hairs in the wild.
- Sometimes, when you find pig villages, they will have carrot and flower farms.
- Lots of small, under-the-hood changes to the world gen.
- Seeds provide less hunger.
- Birds drop a feather -or- a morsel, never both.
- Rabbits take longer to respawn.
- Hounds drop teeth less often.
- Traps and Toothtraps have slightly fewer uses.
- Farms take a bit longer to grow.
- Birds won't land on seeds if you are standing too close to them.
- Spider dens spit out less creep.
- Creep without a spider den disappears. (As a side-effect, creep can no longer be picked up and placed.)
- Walls have more health.
- Torches cost more to build, but last longer.
- Corpses are back!
Bug Fixes:
- There is much less mist in the graveyards, since it was causing performance and visibility problems.
- Stuff that falls near the ocean shouldn't disappear.
- Stone walls don't take fire damage.
- Hounds don't follow you through the teleportato.
- You can't be killed while you are using the teleportato.
- Stumps no longer rain from the sky on loading some games.
- Rabbits no longer phase through obstacles.
- Placers for campfires won't disappear into the night when trying to build them.
- Heated beefalo won't go out of their way to aggro walls.
- Spider queens no longer give birth to unlimited spiders when they have a combat target.
The old world gen and the old research system have been removed. If you have an existing save game that was using the old research system, you will have to build some science machines to unlock your recipes.
Dang it :(
Bush hat is almost useless. New world gen is great. Beefalos in heat + hiveboxes = a fucking load of stingers on the ground.
I was shaving beefalos and wandered into the dark. Thing is I was playing the pyro girl and it started a fire. The entire herd died. ~60 pieces of meat and a fuckload of wool. It was pretty nasty.
Have you unlocked the robot yet? I had a save wipeout two updates ago and had to start all over. Curious how he plays.

The general election scheduled for Tuesday will be among the most important during recent years, and not just because Americans will be selecting a president. Here in West Virginia, important state-level offices and positions representing us in Congress will be filled.
In many of those races, truly excellent men and women who clearly are the best choices will be on the ballot. Here are our recommendations for voters in this area:
- For the U.S. Senate, incumbent Sen. Joe Manchin is the easy pick for re-election. Manchin, D-W.Va., is among the most fiscally conscientious senators in Washington. His non-partisan attitude about defending our state is important and laudable at a time when political polarization is so prevalent.
- U.S. Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., has strongly represented West Virginia's Second Congressional District for six terms. Capito's stance against the current administration's policies and obsessive EPA regulations make it important for voters in to keep her in Congress.
- Patrick Morrisey should be elected as West Virginia's new attorney general. Morrisey will safeguard consumers, defend the state against heavy-handed federal government initiatives, and handle the state's legal affairs with skill and dedication. He should be elected attorney general to end the current practice of wasting millions of dollars, sometimes for political purposes, in the attorney general's office.
- Kent Leonhardt indeed is "the real farmer in this race," as the West Virginia Farm Bureau put it in endorsing him for state agriculture commissioner. Leonhardt, a Marine veteran who operates a farm in Monongalia County, is the wise choice of voters who want an agriculture commissioner who will make farming and forestry contribute even more to the economy than they do now.
- For the two seats on the state Supreme Court to be filled Tuesday, the candidates who have earned voters' trust are incumbent Justice Robin Davis and Allen Loughry. Davis has proven highly qualified and, just as important, impartial during her years on the high court. Loughry wants the court to be an independent guardian of the rights of West Virginians, following state law and the state constitution rather than a political agenda. Both should receive the votes of Mountain State residents.
The Journal highly recommends votes be cast for the candidates listed above. Again, each and every one of them stands out in his or her race. They are the best people for the jobs - and should be elected today.

By Gabriel Sayegh
In his State of the State address on Wednesday, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo passionately called for reforming New York's marijuana possession laws in order to reduce the enormous number of unlawful, biased and costly arrests. Noting the discrepancy in the law between public and private possession of marijuana, he proposed standardizing the penalties for possession of small amounts.
Possession of marijuana is the leading reason for arrests in New York City today, but it's not supposed to be this way. In 1977, New York State removed criminal penalties for private possession of marijuana, and made possession in public view a misdemeanor.
Despite the legislative intent, more than 600,000 people have been arrested for marijuana possession during the last 15 years in New York. Most of these arrests occur in the Big Apple, with more than 50,000 people arrested for marijuana possession in 2011 alone. Most of these arrests are unconstitutional: People possessing marijuana in their pocket or bag are instead charged and arrested for possession in public view. Nearly 85 percent of those arrested are black and Latino, even though government data shows that young whites use marijuana at higher rates.
This creates, essentially, a two-tier system in which the law is applied differently depending on race. And this practice costs taxpayers at least $75 million a year. It's drug-war insanity.
The governor's proposal enjoys broad statewide support from community groups, faith and civil rights organizations, parents, young people, drug policy reformers and law enforcement, including Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple and New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly. But winning reform isn't easy. Last year, Senate Republican leadership, in an act of drug-war extremism, opposed the measure.
After 40 years of a failed war on drugs, states across the country are finally proposing and, in some places, enacting more sensible drug laws. And while New York has led the way on many important drug policy reforms – rolling back the draconian Rockefeller Drug Laws and recently enacting a strong 911 Good Samaritan bill to prevent accidental overdose deaths – the Empire State's marijuana policies have been long stuck in retrograde. Cuomo's proposal is one important step in the right direction. His call to end the widely abused police practice of "stop and frisk" is another.
"Gov. Cuomo's reform proposal, once passed, is an important step to help us secure a brighter future for our youth," said Kyung Ji Kate Rhee, juvenile justice director at the Center for NuLeadership. "Instead of wasting money on unlawful marijuana arrests, we can invest in community development and provide resources that support our youth in reaching their best potential."
Gabriel Sayegh is the director of the Drug Policy Alliance's New York policy office.

GOP congressmen from Ark. vow health care repeal
Republican members of Arkansas' congressional delegation are vowing to repeal the federal health care law despite the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to uphold the overhaul.
Republican Congressmen Rick Crawford, Tim Griffin and Steve Womack said Thursday they plan to continue pushing for a repeal of the law that justices upheld in a 5-4 ruling. Griffin criticized the ruling as a "monumental error."
Republican Sen. John Boozman also called for repeal, saying he was disappointed with the court's ruling.
Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor, however, said the ruling allows lawmakers to work in a bipartisan way to improve the nation's health care system. Democratic Congressman Mike Ross said he still thinks there are good and bad parts of the law, but wants to find a bipartisan way to improve it.
Statement by Rep. Steve Womack:
"I am surprised and disappointed with today's ruling. With respect for the court's decision, I will continue to advocate for full repeal of this massive expansion of government and do away with an unwanted and restrictive tax on the American people by replacing it with common sense, patient-centered reforms.
"The majority of Third District Arkansans are opposed to this law, and I will continue to fight on their behalf to fully repeal it.
"This is a bad day for America – and a major victory for big government."
Statement by Sen. Mark Pryor:
"The cost of health care is having a major impact on Arkansas families and it is taking an enormous toll on our nation's budget and well-being. This reason is why Presidents and lawmakers of both parties have promised to fix this broken system for more than 40 years. It is also the reason I have worked to make health care more affordable, accessible and reliable for Arkansans. The law we passed, while not perfect, is already making health care more affordable, accessible and reliable. It is benefiting children, adults and seniors throughout our state.
"Before health care reform, I heard from an individual in Greenwood who couldn't afford life-saving medicine for his heart condition. He is now one of the 36,000 Arkansas seniors who are saving a collective $30 million on prescription drugs through Medicare. I received a letter from a mom in Fayetteville who can now insure her 5-year-old with Down Syndrome, and an email from Brian in Rogers who was able to purchase health care coverage despite having multiple sclerosis. In fact, in Arkansas more than 35,000 young adults have gained health insurance, 574 individuals with pre-existing conditions were able to buy coverage after being denied in the past and 819,000 individuals received preventive services with no deductible or co-pay. The protections upheld today by the Supreme Court will continue to benefit these families, and thousands of other Arkansans who have struggled with the cost of health care in our country.
"I am still analyzing today's ruling. While it provides more certainty, it still allows us to work in a bipartisan way to improve our health care system. "
Statement by U.S. Rep. Mike Ross:
"I am still reviewing the court's decision, but based on initial reports a majority of the Affordable Care Act, including the individual mandate, will stand. My position remains unchanged. I have always said there were good and bad provisions in this legislation, and going forward, I'll work in a bipartisan manner to improve the law to ensure it provides coverage for the uninsured while protecting those who already have coverage."
Statement by Sen. John Boozman:
"I am disappointed in the outcome but respect the decision reached by the Supreme Court. However, just because the Court found the law to be constitutional, does not mean it is good policy. The President rammed this law through Congress claiming it was not a tax increase but the Court ruled it Constitutional as a tax. This is all the more reason to step up our efforts to repeal the law and its accompanying tax increase, and put in place free market solutions that lower costs and allows a patient centered approach to making health care decisions."
Statement by Lt. Gov. Mark Darr:
"As a candidate, I promised to join a lawsuit challenging Obamacare. Today I make a new promise that, despite the fact we didn't get the result we wanted from the Supreme Court, I will continue to stand with 70% of Arkansans and fight this over-reaching act.
"This ruling tells us the Federal government cannot punish states if they choose not to participate in this Medicaid expansion program. This decision underscores the fact that when Arkansas' political establishment said we had to grow government, they were wrong. What conservative legislators have been saying was right: we unnecessarily wasted millions of dollars starting healthcare exchanges in Arkansas when we didn't have to.
"Today I call on every elected official who serves in this Capitol to publically take a stand. Will you side with President Obama and continue to burden Arkansans, or will you join me in bringing real healthcare reform to our state. To the people of Arkansas, I say this, I heard your concerns and I stood with you. Today, I continue standing with you. Together, we will win the battle."

So after laboring over this for a few weeks and starting countless flame wars by polling my Facebook friends, I've settled on my final five. Here are my rules for inclusion:
1. It has to be a song played frequently on classic rock radio even today. (This of course varies by location so hush if none of these get play on Azerbaijani radio or wherever you live.)
2. It has to have no objective musical, lyrical or sociological justification for being a classic. It's hard to find a song that's a classic that still meets all three criteria. For example, KISS' "Rock and Roll All Nite" is a truly awful song, but it's not on this list because even if it's lyrically stupid and musically retarded, it is the song most representative of the big dumb fun KISS sound, and that has some worth in itself. There have been (and there will be) bands who aspire to that kind of KISS aesthetic, and that's enough to keep it off this list.
OK then. Let the disagreements and contempt begin. Spoiler alert, leaving comments about how all music is subjective and a matter of taste makes you look like a bigger douche than I am. And I'm about to look like a huge douche as I crap all over five rock radio classics:
"Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple
What a riff! DA, DA, DA, da-da, da-DA! "Smoke on the Water" is hailed as a hard rock classic, but its main accomplishment has been tricking a bunch of mullet-wearing, no-talent teenage guitarists into thinking they're cool because they can play the simple bar chords in 4/4 over this lumbering turd. Listen to this song again, as if for the first time. Doesn't really kick nearly as much ass as you remember, does it?
But the riff, Gladstone! What about the riff? Well, Cracked has already told you that this monster riff is kinda lifted from a Gil Evans piece. "Well, so what?" you say. "Deep Purple deserves credit for taking a jazzy little piano piece and rocking it up!" Yeah, not so much because it was really Iggy Pop and the Stooges that did that two whole years earlier. Deep Purple just put back in the note the Stooges had removed. And if you listen to the Stooges' version, it still rocks a hell of a lot harder than "Smoke on the Water."
"Son of a bitch!" some of you are still screaming in your trailer parks. " 'Smoke on the Water' set a template for big hard chord-based riff rock!" No. No it really didn't. Maybe you're thinking of The Kinks. They did it earlier and better. And for big dumb chord riffs, I'd have to go with Black Sabbath's "Iron Man." Deep Purple's contribution? Adding farty organ and mediocre vocals, plus some lyrics about watching Frank Zappa's shit burn up at Montreux.
"Wild World" by Cat Stevens
"Wild World" is probably Cat Stevens' most famous song, and I have to admit I used to love it. Even today, I recognize it as a very appealing melody. But last month, as I heard it playing over the strains of whiny babies and bickering couples at The Cheesecake Factory, something occurred to me: It has truly dickish lyrics. It might seem like a heartfelt and mature response to a break up, but look just below the surface.
Not so bad? Well, think about it. It's the true story of a 19-year-old girl who decides she wants to break up with her 22-year-old dude. Except the girl was actress/model Patti D'Arbanville and the boy was singer/songwriter Cat Stevens. You might be surprised to learn that Cat was only a few years older than the girl he's singing to, considering he seems to be talking down to her like she's some functionally retarded monkey whose talents include smiling and seeking out pretty clothes. I guess what irks me the most is that Cat just seems too cool to actually get upset. Or too evolved to flat out call her a bitch.
If you're a songwriter and a beautiful girl leaves you, you're supposed to beg her to stay. Y'know, like the Temptations' "Ain't Too Proud to Beg."
Or you drown in misery like Harry Nillson in "Without You." (Yeah, I know he didn't write it.)
If you don't want to do that, you call her an evil bitch that's lied and deceived you like in E.L.O.'s "Evil Woman," or Nillson's song to his ex-wife "Fuck You." (He did write that one.)
Or maybe you want to be more clever, like Pink Floyd's "Don't Leave Me Now" -- a song that begs a woman to stay while exhibiting all the singer's terrible traits that drove her away.
Hell, there are tons of options. But what you don't do is passive-aggressively imply that she's a shallow party girl bitch who's just too stupid and naive to realize how awesome you are, while pretending to be a wise old soul who wishes her the best. And if you read those lyrics again, that's exactly what you're doing isn't it, Cat? Deal with it. Patti was way out of your league. She looked like this:
And you look like a cross between a Monkees reject and a Rabbinical student.
Oh, but I guess she should have loved you for your art? Have you heard the other song you wrote for her? "Lady D'Arbanville"? Y'know, the one where you're a lord and she's your lady and you're checking her out and kissing her even though she's dead? Yeah, that one. I can't imagine why she wanted to leave. You were such a catch.
"L.A. Woman" by The Doors
Look, I'll admit it. I've never been a terribly huge Doors fan, but I don't pretend they hold no significance. The Doors are important mostly for their use of organ in a rock context and, of course, because Jim Morrison was one of the coolest frontmen of all time. So yeah, "Light My Fire"? Not on the list, the organ intro is too important. "Break on Through"? Nope. That's probably the band's shining moment as a lean hard rock band. "The End"? No. Not even "The End." It may be dripping in spacey false profundity, but it's Morrison being Morrison. And Jim Morrison was so cool that even today there are dark-haired teens staring solemnly into their mirrors, affecting other-worldly looks of ancient Native American wisdom and malaise just to be a little bit like him.
But "L.A. Woman"? Sorry. No. It doesn't succeed at any level. It's a standard blues stomp that The Doors fail to infuse with anything special.
Krieger's guitar flits about like a mosquito that's too cowardly to actually bite you. And Manzarek's keyboards have never been wimpier. They honky tonk around, weak and thin, like the soundtrack to some movie about a disco queen looking to have a dance fight in an Old West gay bar. And not even Morrison can save it. His vocals are an ode to vowel sounds as he gobbles up his consonants like they're a basket full of psychedelics.
"But Gladstone," you say while sharpening your butterfly knife on the skull of the last fool who dared disrespect The Doors, " 'Mr. Mojo Risin''! What about 'Mr. Mojo Risin''?!"
Yes, you're right. Jim Morrison sings that famous doors lyric "Mr. Mojo Risin'" in this song. And guess what? That phrase is an anagram for "Jim Morrison" Holy Fuck! No way. That's amazing. You're right. This song totally can't suck now. In fact, it makes me wonder how The Who had so many great songs when Roger Daltry never sang about a "Realy Dog Gtr"or why people like Led Zeppelin when there are no Robert Plant lyrics about "Tron Plate PBR."
