Look at it this way...they are a business,first. Reporting can be a thankless job...so most(journalists) should feel what they are doing is important...which it is. Because the Independent newspaper has never found an affordable housing project it didn't endorse, within Pleasanton...it continued to provide thought provoking writing to their readers, and promote participation. So...what's the fuss? Thank you, Pleasanton Weekly, for giving me my say. Bottomline...this is their newspaper, their blog, their money and their time. If the Pleasanton Weekly could share again... what they represent to Community...it might go a long way to this subject matter, posted by Truth, to answer her/his question to themselves.

I am all I favor of PW editing comments IAW published rules. Too many comments are in the form of personal attacks or go off topic. The Belmont Club published under the auspices of pjmedia.com has the following rules that work well:
PJ Media appreciates your comments that abide by the following guidelines:
1. Avoid profanities or foul language unless it is contained in a necessary quote or is relevant to the comment.
2. Stay on topic.
3. Disagree, but avoid ad hominem attacks.
4. Threats are treated seriously and reported to law enforcement.
5. Spam and advertising are not permitted in the comments area.
These guidelines are very general and cannot cover every possible situation. Please don't assume that PJ Media management agrees with or otherwise endorses any particular comment. We reserve the right to filter or delete comments or to deny posting privileges entirely at our discretion. Please note that comments are reviewed by the editorial staff and may not be posted immediately. If you feel your comment was filtered inappropriately, please email us at email@example.com.

Isn't pjmedia a little too racist to be used as an example? Poor judgement there, Dougie.

I'm sure, Annie, it must seem racist to anti-Semites and people who hate the US and want to continue to bring it down to the level of Europe. Where do you stand?

There were good discussions out here prior to the arrival of simon/steven/whatever. Make it personal; I'll respond. And here, all I posted was the current rules from the PW. I must be some kind of threat to y'all; otherwise why spend so much time on personal attacks rather than the topic.
on Jul 28, 2012 at 10:12 am
Rules of enagement change all the time...outdated and require to be revised. Having won a breakfast on the over/under who might answer the initial question..."If the Pleasanton Weekly could share again" no disrespect intended.
on Jul 28, 2012 at 12:46 pm
The hypocrisy coming from the right is a laugh; the censorship coming from PW is sad.
Yes, Staceleen, it's all about you. And, yes, that discussion you willingly participated in with steven@stoneridge re. auto taxes and tracking devices wasn't very good at all. It was terrible. People citing J.S. Mill and actually dissecting another's arguments. Gasp. Terrible. Yes, because you're such a threat to us all, despite the content of your ideas carrying no force whatsoever.
I do agree with Staceleen. Whatever happened to the good old days when rightwing racists could post here and not be challenged by the diseased lefty loons?

No more than pondering the over the top vitriol. Mill was noted to be flawed by "steven". If the comments are based on a flawed Mill, there is no need to respond.
The attempts by anyone to put other posters into presumptive boxes (rightwing racists, lefty loons) does not contribute to the discussions. Yes, I would lament that people can't agree to disagree and let it stand.
on Jul 28, 2012 at 1:41 pm
So true. I miss the good ol days when Kathleen and Stacey, Uncle Homerrr and Cholo, Dark Corners of Town and jimf01 would roam the plains of the Pleasanton Weekly forum like delusional gazelles in some sort of open-air mental hospital. Now, some have been cured, one or two have made real-world friends and joined the living, and too few remain to compulsorily post their screeds on whatever thread they shuffle haphazardly into. Now Steve, Mittens, Nurse Shark and other voices try to bring rationality to the asylum, disturbing the inmates and frightening them into ever more strident and frequent jeremiads. Can't we just go back to irrational times, when people believed in trickle-down economics, the Bush Doctrine, Death Squads, Terror Babies, deregulation, and austerity? Remaining inmates: retake the asylum before it's too late!
on Jul 28, 2012 at 2:20 pm
Here we have little Ms. Ego backtracking on Mill: He's flawed, so why comment? I mean, why not stop to see whether my perceived 'flaws' are the same as yours? Well, because little Ms. Ego hasn't actually read the book. It's one thing to simply not be an intellectual. I can understand that. But to be too insecure to own up to the truth of the matter is a bit sad and pathetic. Does she truly expect anyone, with the exception perhaps of the unstable guy whose always yelling about liberals being diseased, to believe her? Speaks to the fantasy world a rigid ideology puts one in.

I'm not the one saying Mill was flawed. There is no path to reasoning with steven. And then, NJV, has to include several presumptions.
I find that there are works (or parts of them) which resonate and those to leave behind--doesn't make the author or the reader flawed. Not everything applies to each individual's experiences or thought processes.

The PW is just another arm of the Democrat party.
Uber liberals.
Anything to promote the Democrat party and keep Democrats in office is what the PW does best.
As long as readers understand this, then all PW editorials and censored Town Square postings should be viewed with this prism.
BTW: 'Bout time for another photo-op with a Democrat making "tough choices" of supporting our Veterans, isn't it?
on Jul 28, 2012 at 8:26 pm
Arnold, your comment is a great illustration of my point. Serious debate or discussion on these blogs is usually followed by a personal attack such as by calling someone a racist.

The good old days was back when we used to argue about the merits of Oak Grove and the Stoneridge Dr. extension and Nimby was the worst accusation. Then Casey wrote that begging letter to the community while refusing to make proactive changes. Someone got their panties in a bunch when the parcel tax was voted down. Now they just spend all their time on a personal crusade to shut down conversation here by even attacking people who campaigned FOR the parcel tax. No thread is too sacred for the person behind the attacks, not even the mother-daughter tragedy. The PW seems to think it's an appropriate use of their website.
on Jul 29, 2012 at 7:02 am
Staceleen makes a good point. She knows what's appropriate so much better than do PW editors or anyone else for that matter.
Discussing local issues, such as her apparent fear that Foothill is going to be shut down, is good. Questioning the moral or ideological presumptions of discussants, or their premisses, is baaaaaaaaad.

Misrepresenting others to make up for your own arguments' lack of any merit, especially on threads about a mother murdering her daughter is baaaaaaaad.
on Jul 29, 2012 at 8:20 am
... and rather than confronting another's argument, showing where it might lack merit, I'll just call it inappropriate and plea for PW editors to censor it. And if show effectively the lack of merit in so many of my own mushy claims, I'll go running to editors with my cry wolf victimization card. Oh, they're being soooooo PERsonal in attacking my ideas! Whine, whine, whine, lots of posturing, and more whine, whine, whine.

One thing we can agree on, the PW seems to think your misrepresentations on the mother-daughter thread are appropriate.

HAhahhah stop kidding yourself. You just resort to misrepresentations and namecalling whenever someone does show where you lack merit.

If they don't have enough staff to manage their forum, they shouldn't operate it then.
on Jul 29, 2012 at 9:01 am
Yes, there we go! Let's put Staceleen in charge! Putting your kid into a car without safety seatbelt is a-okay. It represents freedom of choice for parents!
But when someone 'changes topic' by querying another's underlying premisses or logic? Off with their heads! "Appropriate" means only what Staceleen says it means!
on Jul 29, 2012 at 9:10 am
Stacey is a registered user.
Thanks for illustrating my point about your misrepresentations. It is not ok to put your child in a car without proper restraint. I don't know where you get this idea that I think that.
on Jul 29, 2012 at 9:43 am
Staceleen, you're being disingenuous again! Shame on you! Your alter ego, Staceleen, has stated several times that she/you are very much opposed to parents being govt mandated to place their kids in cars without restraint. Are you now saying you disagree with yourself? Kindly please elaborate!

[Kath]leen said . . . I don't think it needed to be mandated. I have/will use all safety options available to me. I don't automatically assume the majority of the population is too stupid to keep their children safe.
on Jul 29, 2012 at 1:29 pm
Staceleen, who cares sooooo much about children states: "I don't think [child safety seats in cars] needed to be mandated. I have/will use all safety options available to me. I don't automatically assume the majority of the population is too stupid to keep their children safe."
Well, Staceleen, how many kids will have had to have died to convince you that there are lots and lots of parents out there who ARE too stupid to keep their children safe? Oh, oh, quick! Turn away. Change subject! Change subject! Call in your Stacey persona!
You see, Staceleen's ideology covers EVERYBODY (provided they are just like her), but it excludes kids and can't come to grips with how sometimes the govt must step in to protect children from bad parents. And that so doing is not Big Brother at all, but a benevolent democratic and enlightened state that has actors acting in the service of the people, not some little, pin-headed, rightwing ideology that Western civilization saw fit to reject 150 years ago.

Well, if I'm going to be perfectly honest, I do think there is at least one stupid person. My remaining comments are on the actual thread about tracking devices to collect yet another never ending tax.
on Jul 30, 2012 at 7:02 am
Yes, Staceleen refuses to address the question about the likelihood of kids dying if parents are not mandated to use car safety seats. If she cared about kids, truly, she'd address it. Ah, but to honestly confront it would mean her rigid ideology would have to be cast by the wayside as it has been cast by Western thought, some 150 years ago, onto the trash heap of ideological rubbish.
What stands out here, even more than the paucity of Staceleen ability to think independent of ideology, is her dishonesty.

steven: 'Well, Staceleen, how many kids will have had to have died to convince you that there are lots and lots of parents out there who ARE too stupid to keep their children safe?'
Please tell me you don't have kids. Or, are you one of those 'lots and lots of parents' you were referring to?
In any case, you guys should either get a room, or meet at a neutral site and hash out your differences. Your constant sniping at one or two women on these posts is only serving to publicly embarass yourself.
on Jul 30, 2012 at 4:23 pm
Care to say anything of substance? Or is hate all you have? Thought so. Of course, you child haters like to flock together.
Looking for something to do while you stew at everything under the sun? Try learning how to spell. Your spelling is almost as appalling as Staceleen's inability to reason outside right-wing ideological recipe boxes.

Dora 79, Oak Grove 47
Dora wasted no time taking care of Oak Grove, outscoring the Tigers 24-7 in the opening quarter.
The Bulldogs (22-7) added to their lead from there.

"I was very pleased with the effort and intensity the guys came out with tonight," Dora coach Michael Bridges said. "We wanted to establish the tempo of the game and execute our sets. I'm proud of this group of guys for the way they carry themselves on and off the court. This was a good win and everyone contributed. We have to turn our attention to Carbon Hill because I know they will come ready to play on Monday."

EMC will give users a peek at its progress toward software-defined storage next week at EMC World in Las Vegas, demonstrating a virtualized VNX array developed under a program called Project Liberty.
The demonstration will show software from the company's VNX hybrid array running separately from the array itself, pointing toward the ability to deploy EMC storage smarts on less specialized hardware. EMC hasn't given many details about Project Liberty, which will be showcased in a section of the show called Area 52, but it said it's going through evaluations with customers for various use cases.
[ Control your storage requirements by eliminating data redundancy. InfoWorld lays it all out in our Deep Dive Report on Data Deduplication. | Keep up with the latest approaches to managing information overload and compliance in InfoWorld's Enterprise Data Explosion newsletter. ]
"It's not a product, it's a project," said Jonathan Seigal, senior director of product marketing at EMC.
EMC is announcing Project Liberty on Wednesday in advance of EMC World, along with an entry-level version of its VNXe platform for midsized customers and new encryption technology for the VNX line. VNX is a series of hybrid flash and hard-drive arrays for enterprises.
Storage, like networking, is becoming more software-centered as enterprises look to standardized hardware and cloud services to power their data-center operations. The Project Liberty stack could run on commodity hardware, in a cloud or at a remote site, Seigal said. "It's really about giving our customers more options," he said. An initial use of Project Liberty might be to spin up virtualized instances of the VNX software on a platform separate from an array, for purposes such as testing and development, Seigal said.
The dominant enterprise storage vendor is hitching its future to software because it doesn't get as much advantage from maintaining several different hardware lines anymore, IDC analyst Ashish Nadkarni said. Ultimately, EMC is heading toward selling different software that can all run on the same standard hardware, including systems from other vendors, he believes. Yet it will probably take five years to reach that point, partly because the company still relies on hardware sales for much of its revenue, he said.
Project Liberty could help EMC to head off startups that sell virtualized gateways between storage systems on premises and cloud services off site, Gartner analyst Gene Ruth said. They include Panzura, Avere and Ctera Networks, Ruth said. A virtualized VNX stack could give enterprises a way to replicate a physical VNX array on site with a virtual one in a public cloud, giving enterprises more flexibility.
Brandon Robinson, network services director at ACES, a power management company, is looking at software-defined storage for potential use in a few years. A platform such as VMware's VSAN, or possibly the Project Liberty technology, wouldn't replace a whole hardware array but might be good for spot deployments of applications such as virtual desktops, he said.
"We wouldn't have to go out and buy a whole other array just to support this new workload," Robinson said. "We might be able to deploy the software and some off-the-shelf servers and hard drives."

This is the fourth post in our MySQL Fabric series. In case you're joining us now, we started with an introductory post, and then discussed High Availability (HA) using MySQL Fabric here (Part 1) and here (Part 2). Today we will talk about how MySQL Fabric can help you scale out MySQL databases with sharding. Introduction At the […]
Managing shards of MySQL databases with MySQL Fabric
Generating test data for MySQL tables
One of the common tasks requested by our support customers is to optimize slow queries. We normally ask for the table structure(s), the problematic query and sample data to be able to reproduce the problem and resolve it by modifying the query, table structure, or global/session variables. Sometimes, we are given access to the server […]
Repair MySQL 5.6 GTID replication by injecting empty transactions
In a previous post I explained how to repair MySQL 5.6 GTID replication using two different methods. I didn't mention the famous SET GLOBAL SQL_SLAVE_SKIP_COUNTER = n for a simple reason, it doesn't work anymore if you are using MySQL GTID. Then the question is: Is there any easy way to skip a single transaction? […]
Announcing Percona Server for MySQL version 5.5.29-30.0
Percona is glad to announce the release of Percona Server for MySQL version 5.5.29-30.0 on February 26th, 2013 (Downloads are available here and from the Percona Software Repositories). Based on MySQL 5.5.29, including all the bug fixes in it, Percona Server 5.5.29-30.0 is now the current stable release in the 5.5 series. All of Percona's software is open-source and free, all the details […]
Edge-case behavior of INSERT…ODKU
A few weeks back, I was working on a customer issue wherein they were observing database performance that dropped through the floor (to the point of an outage) roughly every 4 weeks or so. Nothing special about the environment, the hardware, or the queries; really, the majority of the database was a single table with […]
STOP: DELETE IGNORE on Tables with Foreign Keys Can Break Replication
DELETE IGNORE suppresses errors and downgrades them as warnings, if you are not aware how IGNORE behaves on tables with FOREIGN KEYs, you could be in for a surprise. Let's take a table with data as example, column c1 on table t2 references column c1 on table t1 – both columns have identical set of rows for […]
Avoiding auto-increment holes on InnoDB with INSERT IGNORE
Are you using InnoDB tables on MySQL version 5.1.22 or newer? If so, you probably have gaps in your auto-increment columns. A simple INSERT IGNORE query creates gaps for every ignored insert, but this is undocumented behaviour. This documentation bug is already submitted. Firstly, we will start with a simple question. Why do we have […]
Ultimate MySQL variable and status reference list
I am constantly referring to the amazing MySQL manual, especially the option and variable reference table. But just as frequently, I want to look up blog posts on variables, or look for content in the Percona documentation or forums. So I present to you what is now my newest Firefox toolbar bookmark: an option and […]
The story of one MySQL Upgrade
I recently worked on upgrading MySQL from one of very early MySQL 5.0 versions to Percona Server 5.1. This was a classical upgrade scenario which can cause surprises. Master and few slaves need to be upgraded. It is a shared database used by tons of applications written by many people over more than 5 years […]
Sharing an auto_increment value across multiple MySQL tables
The title is SEO bait – you can't do it. We've seen a few recurring patterns trying to achieve similar – and I thought I would share with you my favorite two: Option #1: Use a table to insert into, and grab the insert_id:
CREATE TABLE option1 (id int not null primary key auto_increment) engine=innodb;
# each insert does one operations to get the value:
INSERT INTO option1 VALUES (NULL);
# $connection->insert_id();
Option #2: Use a table with one just row:
CREATE TABLE option2 (id int not null primary key) engine=innodb;
INSERT INTO option2 VALUES (1); # start from 1
# each insert does two operations to get the value:
UPDATE option2 SET id=@id:=id+1;
SELECT @id;

The Best Selling NBA Signature Sneaker Athletes
February 6th, 2014 by Brendan Dunne | 32 comments
The basketball sneaker market is bigger than ever-last year the category boasted sales of $4.5 billion here in the US-up 20% from the year prior. That market of courses hinges on signature sneaker lines, which rely on the sport's biggest names to help tell the stories surrounding their performance footwear and in turn move units. But who are the top performers in that realm? Which athletes had the biggest sales numbers in 2013 as far as their signature sneaker lines here in the US are concerned? You might be able to guess some of the names towards the top, but we have a feeling you'll see some surprises in the data collected below. Flip through with us to find out the data surrounding the best selling signature athletes in the US as well as our predictions for the future of each.

Local environmental education projects along the Lake Michigan shoreline and in the Millennium Reserve-Calumet region have been awarded $730,000 of federal funds, Gov. Pat Quinn announced Saturday.
The projects, which were awarded grants of between $30,000 and $100,000, are part of the Illinois Coastal Management Program (ICMP).
This is the first series of grants funded through ICMP, which was officially formed in 2012 in an effort to protect natural resources on the Great Lakes.
"These important investments will protect and manage the incredible natural and cultural resources surrounding our beautiful Lake Michigan," Quinn said in a statement. "They will also involve thousands of students and residents of nearby communities in creating a better environment for all."
Among the grant recipients is Chicago Public Schools, which was awarded $100,000 for the Calumet is My Back Yard project that features about 600 high school students from 13 schools working to restore and protect 12 natural areas and waterways within the Calumet region.
Other projects that were awarded funding come from various public agencies and organizations, including the Chicago Park District; the Forest Preserve District of Cook County; The Field Museum; Friends of the Chicago River; City of Blue Island; League of Women Voters of Illinois Education Fund; Lake Forest Open Lands Association; Illinois Natural History Survey; Park District of Highland Park; Biodiversity Project; and Prologue, Inc.
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources, which administers the ICMP, is accepting applications for the next round of grants—scheduled for spring 2014—from Nov. 1 through Dec. 16.

NLCS Game Three Preview: Cardinals at Dodgers
On Saturday, the Cardinals scratched home an unearned run on a Jon Jay sacrifice fly. It turns out that this was all the run support Michael Wacha and the Cardinals bullpen needed, as they eked out a 1-0 win over the Dodgers to take a 2-0 series lead in the National League Championship Series. Can the Dodgers win their first game and climb back into the series? Here is a look at PECOTA odds and projected starting lineups for tonight's game.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) - PATH service between Jersey City's Exchange Place and World Trade Center stations is closed this weekend while the agency makes repairs and upgrades the rail lines to install a new safety system.
The agency says the closures are scheduled for most weekends throughout 2014. But work will be suspended and weekend PATH service will be running next Friday for the July 4 holiday weekend.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey will continue weekend ferry service that it started to help travelers who normally take PATH trains into and out of Manhattan.
The ferries sail between Paulus Hook Terminal and the World Financial Center Terminal between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m. on Saturdays and 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sundays.
The weekend-only fare is $2.50 one-way.

Highly experienced professionals with a history of helping clients win, retain, and grow more than $110 billion in government business.
We are a company of handpicked professionals with large-program experience and a strong history of winning and executing business in the federal and international marketplaces. In recent years, our team members have been responsible for winning – or helping to win – more than $110 billion in government business. Our employees come from government and industry – all proven leaders and experts who average more than 30 years of experience in their fields.
Syndetics' proven campaign approach to winning business is comprised of the seven phases described below. Our campaign management process positions you to win and assists in managing the ambiguity of current government markets.
Studies and Analysis
To win business, we first focus on gathering information about both the government and industry view of the market. From a government perspective, we perform analysis of alternatives (AOA), technology assessments and DOTMLPF. From an industry view, we guide you through market analysis, and help you establish and improve government relations
Strategic Planning
Strategic Planning is built on understanding the opportunity, your competition, and how your company fits in. We accomplish this through customer and program analysis, past performance corrections, black hat reviews, tactical planning. Syndetics can help you establish an initial strategy, including aligned IRAD and a strategic communications plan.
Opportunity Assessment
Understanding and quantifying the opportunity to your company is the next step to winning business. We help you determine a price to win, perform a business case analysis, analyze CAIV and establish and improve your Pwin. Determining product positioning, establishing TRL levels and updating your win strategy are all important to assessing an opportunity and Syndetics' experts can lead you through this process.
Capture Planning
A strategic methodology based on the information gathered using the previous steps is key to winning business. Syndetics can help you understand your barriers to winning, discriminators, risks and gaps. With this knowledge, we can help you define a program architecture and a capture plan.
Proposal Management
Creating a compelling and compliant proposal in response to an RFP is the next step critical to winning business. Syndetics uses industry proven methods to help you generate a compelling, compliant RFP response. Our process includes updating your win strategy, decomposing the RFP and creating a proposal outline, establishing themes, creating a PRD and storyboards as well as holding Pink, Red and Gold team reviews. We will help you finalize TRL levels, identify credible ways to mitigate risk, assist in the creation of BOEs and manage for cost traceability.
Stake-Holder Relations

PARIS (AP) -- Jean-Eric Vergne was probably too young to care the last time a French driver won a Formula One race.
That was back in May 1996, when Olivier Panis won in Monaco. Vergne was only 6 years old, two months younger than Charles Pic.
But Pic, Vergne and 25-year-old Romain Grosjean are the three French drivers hoping to end that dry spell this season, or at least get a podium place.
With no home Grand Prix since Magny Cours in 2008, and three years without a Frenchman in an F1 car, French fans have had little to cheer. The days of four-time champion Alain Prost, Jean Alesi and Panis seem a long time ago.
The 21-year-old Vergne says "it's really good for France" that the three of them have a chance.

Northampton, Mass. - October 21, 2011 - The Springfield College women's volleyball team picked up a key three-game sweep over Bowdoin College at Smith College in the Volleyball Hall of Fame Invitational on Friday evening. The Pride won by identical set scores of 25-22, 25-22, 25-22.
The match pitted two of the top teams in New England as the Polar Bears entered the contest ranked second in the region, while the Pride was ranked third. The victory boosted the Pride's record to 26-1 on the season, and the loss proved to be just Bowdoin's second of the year, dropping them to 18-2.
Both teams have been in the mix of the current national rankings as well. Springfield is currently ranked 20th in the nation, while Bowdoin sits at No. 25.
Lauren Torvi finished the match with a team-best 11 kills at a .440 clip, while fellow middle Mary Consol had a tremendous match with seven kills on 13 errorless swings to go along with four blocks. Melissa McLaughlin added seven kills and Itza Nieves registered 18 digs. Molly Giannattasio directed the Pride's attack to a .242 hitting percentage with 30 assists.
Springfield will continue its play against some of the top teams in New England as it squares off with both Tufts and Middlebury on Saturday at Mount Holyoke.

There was a rollover accident in Laurel around 4:40 PM Thursday.
Montana Highway Patrol Trooper, Toman Baukema, said it involved a 2001 Ford Pickup driven by 52-year-old, Jeffrey Pedlund.
Baukema said that Pedlund was driving Westbound on Highway 10 and Snowline Vista when Pedlund did not navigate the curb and rolled his car into a field.
Montana Highway Patrol said that this was a one-vehicle accident involving one person in the car.
Baukema said that alcohol is believed to be a factor, and Pedlund was cited for a DUI.
Laurel Fire Chief, Brent Peters, says cars can be replaced, but people can't. In order to get to Pedlund out, officers had to cut his car door open with pliers.
"We determined it was easier to cut off the passenger, and driver side doors to gain access to him," said Peters.
Baukema said Pedlund was transported to the Billings Clinic, and there were non-life threatening injuries.
The Billings Police Department responded to a call involving a stolen vehicle just after 5:00pm Wednesday.

State Sen. Thomas A. Garrett Jr. says Uncle Sam is doling disappearing dollars to entice states to expand their Medicaid programs.
"This money is guaranteed for a few years, and then goes away," Garrett, R-Louisa, wrote in an op-ed that ran earlier this month in The Free-Lance Star and the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
Ah, the Affordable Care Act. We've all been inundated with the stories about the rocky launch of Obamacare's Healthcare.gov website, the policy cancellations that drop people from coverage rather than meet minimum standards required by the ACA, and other issues like the one I have faced with a deeply flawed subsidy/tax credit application process that required a lengthy and intrusive Medicaid application.
Some of these issues were predictable and preventable; others were not.

3.68/5 rDev -0.8%
Went in for a quick beer and to share an appetizer on a very rainy Sunday afternoon.
I hadn't been to the Gahan House in easily 5 years, and I was pretty impressed by how the atmosphere has changed. Still a pub, but pretty classy as well. Two of the Gahan beers I wanted to try weren't available on tap (the Brown and the Cole's Cream), so I went with their new 1772 IPA, which wasn't bad. Split an order of potato skins with family; they were quite decent.
Definitely would head back for a longer visit next time I'm in PEI. Apparently, their deck is quite good as well.

Stopped in here for a late lunch after arriving on the island on the first nice day of my motorcycle trip. Large brick building that everyone wants to call Victorian. Lots of wood inside and some eclectic colors that make me wonder if this was once a Mexican restaurant. I was here quite early so the place was kind of empty. My server was quite attentive. I had the sampler and the spicy bean dip. The food was good and the beers ranged from Ok to pretty damn good. Lunch for just me was a bit pricey, but if I was in the area again I would stop in.

Went here twice on my trip out East line up to get in both times but the line went quick so we waited. Old building downtown with dim lighting and lots of people of all sorts. First time with my girlfriend and we just had a pint of IPA that was OK and some mussels that were great. Second time went with the family and had a burger that was very tasty and several of the beers, the only one that was worth a second pint was the stout. Service was as good as could be expected when every seat it the joint had an ass pinning it to the ground. Overall I'd go there again for sure if in PEI perhaps the best the island has to offer

This is a fun spot and as previously mentioned, the only brewpub in PEI.
The building is older and very neat packed with brick and dark woods throughout offering an excellent atmosphere for dinner or drinks. We did not eat here, so I cannot provide any feedback on the food other than that the menu was impressive for this type of establishment.
Gahan offers a tap line of 7-8 of their own brews as well as some generic macros. We sampled the Light Ale, Sydney Street Stout, Cream Ale, and Brown Ale. The cream ale was my favorite of the bunch, not bad given that its the only brewpub. The staff is knowledgeable about their brews and seasonals and good with suggestions. Also, a number of other restaurants in the area carry their beer as well due to common ownership.
On the service, some of the best I have ever had. If you're lucky enough to get Eddie as your bartender out front, he's quick, attentive, and comical without being intrusive. This guy worked the bar and was the highlight of the stop. Staff here is excellent all around.
The Gahan House is worth a visit if you're in Charlottetown.

The only game in town, err on the island, so if you want the brewpub experience this is it on PEI!
A pleasant wood and brick interior located in an old brick building in the downtown area of C-town.
8 brews on tap during our visit including their new and revamped 1772 IPA. In addition to that we had the Sydney Street Stout which we found to be enjoyable.
Service was pleasant and swift during our busy lunchtime visit. On a trip down to the restroom I bumped into and had a chat with the brewer, a nice fellow that I enjoyed talking shop with for 5 minutes or so.
Our lunches were very nice with C ordering the grilled salmon and I my traditional fish and chips. Both came well proportioned and were quite tasty.
Nothing we ate or drank seemed off or lacking. This was my second visit and it seemed to me that the brews have improved, given more body and depth.
I certainly dont expect world class beers, this is a restaurant with a brewery....and the only one in town! I was quite satisfied with our visit and will surely return when travels take us to PEI again.

On our last night on PEI, my wife and I went here for drinks.
It's a good thing we didn't want to eat, because they had a 30-minute wait on a table. This was a Saturday night, though.
So we sat in the bar. I went to the main bar and ordered the sampler, which was brought to us. They were out of a couple of their beers, including their IPA, which was a bummer.
The beers were good. Lots of flavor across their whole line.
The place has a nice look to it with lots of dark wood and soft lighting. And it's all nonsmoking, thank goodness.
If you want fresh beer on Prince Edward Island, check out The Gahan House. You can also get their beers at other restaurants on the island.

We stopped by in the middle of the afternoon, for a taste of their beer. They had just started bottling beer so my first choice was unavailable. The two of us each had 2 beers, and we each liked our choices.
Regarding the service, We sat at the bar, and were served by the manager, who was very good. A homeless man wandered in, and was treated with respect while they escorted him out.(They allow homeless people on PEI, what might the tourists think?) The bartender was working on getting all the beers tapped, and gave me a pint of the beer that I had originally requested when he got it working. It was over carbonated, and mine sat for awhile while the head settled down, he eventually gave up (I got the only beer of that kind that day).
Sadly the waitstaff congregate by the bar, using the computer, and waiting for drinks, and we certainly heard derogatory comments about some of the customers. Not very professional.

(WXTX) – President Obama is postponing the ceremony honoring Auburn University's 2010 BCS National Championship at the White House, so that he can spend the day Friday meeting with the governor, meeting families and viewing damage in the severely devastated state.
In Alabama, Governor Robert Bentley and surveyors are out accessing the damage. The death toll in the state is now more than 200. [Read: Interactive Map: Alabama fatalities by county] It is believed that as many as 160 tornados were reported Wednesday night. [Read: Southern storms' toll surpasses 300 deaths ]
Alabama Lieutenant Governor Ivey told the media Thursday, "My thoughts and prayers go out to the families who have lost loved ones and property due to the devastation of this tremendous disaster. I continue to monitor the impact of this storm through reports provided by EMA and will support all efforts by Governor Bentley and our Congressional delegation. I want to ensure that every appropriate resource is made available to restore the lives, businesses, and properties of the citizens of Alabama. " More than 1000 Alabama National Guard Units have been mobilized to aid in relief efforts. Road closure information is available at the Alabama Department of Transportation website. Georgia
Governor Nathan Deal toured the state Thursday after strong storm cells ravaged the state Wednesday night. Governor Deal says so far 14 people died across the state, and 16 counties were affected.
He says that searches are underway for the people who have not been accounted for. It is not known at this time how many people are missing. GEMA and others are working across the state to assist with efforts. Deal says the state does not have the financial resources to help with efforts, but he is confident that the state will receive federal aid to cover the costs associated with relief. He says local governments will need restitution for efforts related to restoring transportation, clearing trees and restoring services. In addition, loan assistance will need to be made available for businesses and individuals needing to restore their livelihoods and their housing.
The National Weather Service was in Harris, Troup, and Meriwether counties accessing the damage. Surveyors say an EF3 tornado struck the areas. In Meriwether County, schools are closed. We are told that an entire hotel was evacuated, a trailer park was demolished and a roof was ripped off Mountain View Elementary during Wednesday's fury. We are told that school officials will meet Friday to discuss how to finish the rest of the school year amongst rubble. Schools in Troup County were closed Thursday, but schools will open Friday.

The End Begins Now…
It's hard to believe that it's almost been a year since Cataclysm was first released. There's been a lot that has happened – good things, bad things, and things in between that people really aren't sure about. The expansion on a whole seems to be controversial in the fact that some believe it's been a big success, while others believe it's been a failure. I personally think that it's an experiment that was partially successful, but that's for another time.
As of November 29th, the beginning of the end of Cataclysm is upon is.
Blizzard has said that this will be the last full content patch for the expansion, and that this will basically be the end for updates before Mists of Pandaria comes out. This could be taken two ways: the optimistic way, thinking that we'll be seeing MoP sooner rather than later and won't have to do this content forever; or the pessimistic way, thinking that we'll be doing the exact same content for a year, as we did with Icecrown Citadel at the end of Wrath of the Lich King (Ruby Sanctum doesn't count).
Unfortunately I don't work for Blizzard, and I don't know when they hope to release MoP. Like everyone else, I'd rather see it sooner rather than later, but we know that it will be done when it's done. However, all that being said, I'd like to take the optimistic view.
The 4.3 content patch has a lot in it. Not only do we get the new raid on Deathwing, but there are three new 5-man dungeons, a revamped Darkmoon Faire, Transmogrification, Void Storage, the Raid Finder, a bunch of new items from the raids and other content, and a whole bunch of balance changes. It would take too long to go through each one, so I'll suggest you check out WoW Insider's guide to Patch 4.3 to get the details about many of the new features.
Briefly, I'm very happy with Transmogrification. The interface is incredibly easy to use, and I finally am rewarded for being such a packrat for all these years. I was able to have one of my favourite looks of the Tier 5 shoulders and Wildfury Greatstaff for my Druid, which really makes me happy and nostalgic.
Void Storage is nice, but unfortunately a bit too restrictive. I have a lot of stuff in my bank from the many holidays that have come around, and I was hoping to empty a bunch out to free up some room. The biggest thing is that items labelled "unique" or items not soulbound cannot be deposited to VS. Many tabards, as well as other holiday things are all unique, and some of the holiday items like the Brewfest and Winter Veil gear are not soulbound, but I wanted to keep them nonetheless. So I deposited what I could, and at least freed up some room.
The Raid Finder has been one of the things I've been looking forward to most. As I've mentioned before, my schedule is very weird for when I can raid, so now I can raid whenever I want – as long as there's enough other people queuing as well. I was able to get into a group, and successfully get the four bosses currently available with little drama. We only wiped twice, and there were people taking charge of the raid to get things done.
We also got Tyrael's Charger. It's pretty.
All in all, there's some great new content that everyone can enjoy no matter what you do. Raider, casual player, leveling player, there's something for everyone. As I experience more of the new content, I'll post my thoughts about some of them. In the meantime, happy exploring!
4.3 Instances of Awesome (I hope)
Looking around the WoW news community this morning gave me quite a bit of happiness. 4.3 looks like it's going to be incredibly awesome – and even though the word is used entirely too much these days, the word we're looking for is epic.
On top of the other features of the patch (transmogrification, void storage, raid finder tool, Darkmoon Faire revamp, among other things) we get the best part: the Deathwing raid and 5-man dungeons. Interviews were given from Tom Chilton and Greg Street (aka Ghostcrawler) across a few websites, and a bunch of information was given.
Basically, there will be three 5-man dungeons giving the story leading up to the Deathwing raid, all involving the Caverns of Time:
- The first one ("End Time") will be a dystopian future where Deathwing won and the world has been destroyed and remade the way he likes – all in ruins. The idea behind this is convince Nozdormu that he needs to get involved and help, or else there won't be much of anything to watch over.
- The second one ("Well of Eternity") will be during the War of the Ancients, where Deathwing first betrayed the aspects and created the Dragon/Demon Soul. It looks like we join Thrall to get the Demon Soul to use as a weapon against Deathwing in the present. Basically using the power to overload the essence within him, causing the big black dragon to burst from within.
- The third one ("Hour of Twilight") will be a flight to Wyrmrest Temple to begin the fight against Deathwing, raid-style. Along the way there will be battles against many foes trying to steal back the Demon Soul and prevent you from attacking the big bad guy, likely lots of Twilight people.
The final battle against Deathwing ("Dragon Soul") is in an instanced version of Wyrmrest Temple in Dragonblight (hopefully including the changes that happened in the Thrall: Twilight of the Aspects novel), with fights around and in the temple itself. At one point we get to be on Deathwing's back, trying to pry off his armour plating to get to his fleshy bits underneath. Apparently there will be a "balance" mechanic, as Deathwing isn't just going to be flying in a straight line – the raid will be a bunch of fleas on his back that he wants to shake off (do a barrel roll!).
Eventually, Deathwing ends up at the Maelstrom where he becomes a bit of a conglomeration between himself and an Old God minion. The phrase used in the interview with Ghostcrawler says that they call him "Cthulhu-Deathwing", tentacles included. All in all, this raid looks like it will be living up to my expectations and more.
Also included with this will be a new legendary, a set of two daggers for rogues specifically. This quest line will involve the uncorrupted black dragon egg that was the subject of a really good questline in the Badlands. At the end of it, there's nothing said about the future or fate of the new whelp, but it looks like we'll find out shortly.
For more reading, check out interviews at Joystiq, MMO-Champion, and Tankspot. The official World of Warcraft community site also has a bunch of information.
Memories of Azeroth: Zangarmarsh
After Hellfire Peninsula, the next stop is Zangarmarsh. Whereas Hellfire looked a lot like the Blasted Lands, and wasn't too "alien", Zangarmarsh is a completely brand new world. It's basically a reminder of the Warcraft II expansion set "Beyond the Dark Portal", as there were forests of mushrooms there. Well, here's your forest of mushrooms!
Starting in the zone, characters would have breadcrumb quests leading to Cenarion Refuge, and their respective faction camps of Swamprat Post for the Horde or Telredor fot the Alliance. I must admit that I was always a little choked that the Alliance got this amazing looking outpost built into a mushroom, and the Horde just gets a generic Troll camp. The quests here would take up half the zone, eventually leading west.
The zone's story has a lot to do with the Naga, and how they're draining the lakes for their own purposes. They don't say exactly what purpose that is, but I think it's along the lines of: "It's MINE! Go away!" The Dead Mire is an example of what happens to an area once the water has been drained out completely. Among the inhabitants affected by this are the mushroom people of Sporeggar. There are some quests to help them out, and a faction associated with them. The rewards include a non-combat pet, but it takes a very long time to get the reputation required.
The west side of the zone dealt mainly with the Ogres, and that they were chopping down the mushrooms for themselves and messing things up for Sporeggar. Because the fungal giants didn't have mushrooms to eat, they decided to eat Sporeggar's young while they were growing in the Spawning Glen. It's up to the player to go and crush the Ogres at their stronghold, which is a small island using a downed mushroom as a bridge. Altogether you get to lay a beat down on a bunch of things to try and bring things as close to normal as possible.
After Zangarmarsh, it's off to Terokkar Forest – normally. I try to skip Terokkar, as I'm not too fond of the zone, so I try to go right to Nagrand. There are entrances to Terokkar, Nagrand, and Blade's Edge from Zangarmarsh, very much the crossroads of the continent.
Memories of Azeroth – Hellfire Peninsula
Through my Screenshots of the Week, I've had a few people comment about perhaps expanding it. One person suggested I do a whole post about Nagrand, since I said how much I loved it. So, here's the first of my focus on a specific zone – in screenshots. I try to limit myself on how many I will use, as it's quite easy to take a whole lot of them.
The first thing anyone notices going into Hellfire Peninsula, and the rest of Outland, is the Dark Portal. Anyone who has played any of the RTS games will know about this, and I know the first time that I went through it I was a little bit in awe. The Azeroth size of it is quite small, but seeing the enormity of the Outland side was amazing.
After going through the portal, the next stop would be your faction's respective home base: Thrallmar for the Horde, and Honor Hold for the Alliance. Each of the bases has a history, but the Alliance has a little bit more – it was founded by the Alliance Expedition Force who went through the Dark Portal many years back (the events of Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal expansion). Alleria and Turalyon and the rest of the force prevented the corruption of Outland to spread into Azeroth, and basically saved the world… along with beating up Deathwing and a few others.
Other quest hubs in the zone include Falcon Watch for the Horde, run by the Blood Elves who were longing to get to Outland to drink in the energies, and the Temple of Telhamat, run by Draenei who are also wanting to get back to Outland for different reasons. The landscapes here always strike me, even through how desolate it all is. Take the large red crystal, a focus for a small quest chain. Simply adding that in gives the area a lot more character.
Since Outland is an alien world, there has to be things that set it apart from what is considered normal. Simply looking up at the sky, and seeing energies flow across will show you that you're not in Azeroth anymore. That, along with multiple moons, gives the zone that much more of an exotic look. Before Outland was what it is now, it was a world called Draenor, but succumed to demonic corruption. One area is called the Pools of Aggonar, which is where a pit lord was once killed. His skeleton remains, along with many pools of his sickly green "blood", and creatures that feed off of it and are born of it. Definitely corrupted.
In the middle of the zone is Hellfire Citadel, where there are four instances – three 5-man dungeons and a 25-man raid. The biggest change of the instances from Vanilla to Burning Crusade was that many of them were tremendously shorter and more streamlined than before. People weren't used to being able to complete an instance in under three hours.
Once Hellfire Peninsula was done the next destination was Zangarmarsh, which will be the subject of next week's Memories of Azeroth.
Screenshot of the Week – August 6
My hunter just finished leveling through Nagrand again, and I can never get enough of the zone. It truly is absolutely beautiful – I could have a post full of the many different areas of it. Not only that, but after reading Rise of the Horde by Christie Golden, I can appreciate the history of Orcs that is throughout the zone.
Screenshot of the Week – July 30
A view from far above the Temple of Earth in Deepholm is what we have today. The path of blood pools from Deathwing's wounds has scarred the ground forever. Plus, it looks pretty cool.
Job Application: Warchief of the Horde
I was thinking the other day about the leaders of the Horde, and our current Warchief. After looking them all over, each has their own reasons for wanting to be in power and has the experience to warrant it. So I thought I'd put down a brief job application for each of the six leaders and what they would have said to Thrall if they had applied for the job of Warchief.
Enjoy this humourous representation of what I think the different people would say.

Screenshot of the Week – July 9
Flying around doing archaeology one day, I was passing through Uldum and was wondering why it was on fire. There are times I'm not very observant, but the last time I checked I was at the south end of Kalimdor and not by Blackrock Mountain. Deathwing had apparently just been through, and had unleashed his swath of destruction. I would be upset, except for the fact that he roasted me a while back.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Environmental officials have filed a poaching complaint against 12 Chinese fishermen who were aboard a vessel that ran aground this week in a protected coral reef in the southwestern Philippines.
Adelina Villena, a lawyer for the Tubbataha National Marine Park, says the complaint was filed Wednesday with the Palawan provincial prosecutor. She says other complaints are being prepared against the fishermen for alleged offenses including damaging corals, attempting to bribe park rangers and carrying explosives in their vessel.
The steel-hulled vessel strayed Monday into the park in the Sulu Sea and struck an atoll, where it was stranded. A U.S. Navy minesweeper got stuck on the same reef and had to be dismantled recently.
The fishermen could face up to 12 years imprisonment and fines of up to $300,000.

There is big economic news out of Clinton, where 3 businesses will bring 200 jobs to the area. 2 of the businesses are brand new companies, the third business already has a facility in Clinton, but is expanding.
The biggest projects will be built at the Lincolnway Industrial Rail and Air Park. Rail.One will make concrete rail ties and create 62 jobs. Nevada Railroad Materials recycles wooden rail ties and ships concrete ones. The company is bringing 30 jobs to Clinton. Data Dimensions is expanding to the Lyons Business and Technology Park. The company will double its staff by adding 130 jobs.
The Lincoln Way Industrial Rail and Air Park has been a work in progress for 17-years.
"If we were going to grow industrial jobs, we had to have a rail park," says Rich Phelan, CRDC Chair.
The rail park is ready for businesses to begin building. The first company to sign up is Rail.One out of Germany.
"They wanted to expand into the U.S. Market," adds Phelan.
Rail.One produces concrete railroad ties for high speed rail lines.
"It's really a part of the future," says CRDC Chair.
The second company to sign on is Nevada Railroad Materials. Their business goes hand in hand with Rail.One, because NVM recycles old wooden rail ties.
"The old rail ties will be brought into the facility and RNM will recycle those," adds Phelan, "Then the empty cars will be filled with the concrete ones and
sent out."
Both companies decided to build in Clinton for several reasons. According to Phelan, the city is centrally located, it's close the Mississippi River and the industrial park is along a rail line.
"The main Union Pacific rail line goes through the park," says Phelan.
Also in Clinton, the Lyons Business and Technology Park will grow. Data Dimensions expanding out its current facility into a larger one.
"We're out of space and land," says Mark Bush, Chair of Data Dimensions, "With business coming and the growing of the company it's just time to move into a much larger facility."
The new facility will double Data Dimension size and add 130 new employees over the next 3 years. The company, that has been in Clinton for 25-years, digitizes documents.
"We're in an interesting situation," adds Bush, "Where we're projecting over 50% growth just this year."
Data Dimensions will start construction at the end of April and they need to up and running ASAP. Rail.One will begin building in May and the company will be up and running by early 2014. Nevada Railroad Materials just signed on and there's no word on when construction will begin.
All 3 businesses are receiving tax incentives, but they are pending. The State of Iowa has already given preliminary approval. Clinton city council and the Clinton county board will vote on the rebates over the next few weeks.

|What a decent & sober case, I really want to get this. This is the best case according to me as Z10 user till now!

|Real good protection, but it doesnt make the phone look good.i use it sometimes like when going to the beach etc but otherwise i go without it. Nothing looks better than a phone without a case

|The functionality of the case is great, it covers all of the potential at risk parts of the phone in the event of a drop, and it allows access to the volume, mute and lock buttons as well as the headset jack when closed, but it does not allow you to charge the phone with it closed, which with the book style opening that it has, is probably wise as the charge cord would then interfere with the opening of the case in the event of a phone call or other needed access to the phone. You also cant access the HDMI port with it closed, but the case would need to be opened anyway if you were actively using the HDMI port, I just wanted to point that out though. If it had been made to open the opposite way. (right to left), and had an access hole in the right side for the volume and mute buttons, then you could charge it with the cover closed. I havent dropped my phone yet, so I cant comment on whether it will actually perform like it should. As for the materials it is made of, it has a soft leather-like fabric cover over 80 of the outside of the case which is so smooth, that it is actually somewhat slippery. If it had the rubberized texture that the back cover of the Z10 has, it would make it much easier to hold on to when carrying it. Oh, and talking on the phone is a bit more of a challenge as you have to fold the front cover completely over to the back and make sure you have a firm grip on the right side of the phone, because if you hardheartedly grasp the phone and grab the edge of the cover instead, it will fold on you and youll likely drop your phone. Most of the time I use the speaker phone or ear buds when Im on the phone, so this doesnt bother me as much as it would if I held the phone to my ear to talk. It is something to consider for anyone that does hold their phone to their ear with their hand. I cannot comment on whether it works to hold the phone with your shoulder, as I am not capable of doing that due to neck surgery.
