This is an extremely tough and no-nonsense rucksack.
Source: received it as a personal gift
This is an extremely tough and no-nonsense rucksack. It is so versatile that it fits perfectly for daily commutes to the office and back as well as for the outdoors.
- Tough and indestructible
- Extremely versatile. Usually you would need something more ordinary for daily commute and a different backpack for outdoors. This one fits into both worlds.
- No-nonsense clean compact design lacking straps, mesh pockets and other fancies
- Too few attachment points on the outside. Sometimes I miss a good way to attach something on the outside, which makes me more creative, but on the other side keeps you ultralight if you skip attaching things to the rucksack.
I have this rucksack for already 16 months and it has been with me almost everyday (if not every day) when I leave the front door of my home. It is a black one, not as on the image. On the image is a newer model, actually more colours were offered recently.
It is so tough and durable that I think it will handle more than 10 years of everyday 20 lbs loads (only my 17" Dell power horse and the iPad with the case comprise half of that weight). The pack has amazing and sturdy self-supported shape and is free standing when you put it on a flat surface.
The guy who designed it was in the US Special Forces so he took really the essence for making a perfect all-around, heavy duty rucksack with no extra non-essential stuff and you can live and survive without that. This makes it very compact and makes the owner very agile and fast. Nothing is hanging around the rucksack which usually drives me crazy—you look at a tourist or a backpacker and all you see (facing him from behind) is a ton of hanging straps and mesh pockets and you can hardly see the shape of the backpack itself.
As I mentioned it is extremely versatile (the black one) so that you can commute to work and back, go in the outdoors for a few days hike (yes, I intend and believe I can use it for 3-4 days ultralight backpacking) and I will update you very soon about that.
I have been even to a theatre play after work. It doesn't look weird since it is neither military pack, nor a sport backpack which anyone uses when going to the gym or other sport session. So I like its covert style where you can have everything inside it for a few days hike including food and water, tent, bag, pad, rainwear, trail food....while walking across the streets and nothing suggests that you are having something like a 72h survival kit inside or a 72h outdoor kit—nothing hangs outside so no one has any idea if you have been to work or going to work or going to the mountains. The bigger brother of GR1 has a bigger volume and would be perfect for longer hikes and longer self-supported adventures but it costs even more.
The GR1 costs as much as 1/3rd of my monthly salary when I got it as a gift. Now it is a quarter of my salary but still expensive (and worth it) and hence my will to fit in everything possible in this great backpack. I will get my girl a little bigger true mountain backpack perhaps 32-35L that is as light as possible and again compact enough for light or ultralight several days backpacking. Her bigger pack will have a bit more room for 1-2 days more food for backpacking up to 5 days maybe.

Price Paid: $295
Solid construction, premium tough materials, well designed, comfortable yet basic and not too many frills.
- Design
- Ergonomics
- Premium materials
- Made in USA
- None apparent
I use it for my hike to the gym and it easily holds all my gear; boxing gloves, mat shoes, change of clothes, water bottle, personal posessions etc. It has the webbed straps on the outside to affix additional smaller field pockets (using the MOLLE webbing) available on the Goruck site at an additional cost.
It adjusts well and fits comfortably.The zippers, stitching, and the rest of the unit are designed for hard use and to last. I have been using mine for four months daily.
It is expensive, I paid full price on the Goruck website. However, the owner of the company donates generously to the Green Beret Foundation. So we are on to something here.
The best backpack I have ever used/owned and I'm a…
Price Paid: $150 (discounted because of the GORUCK Challenge)
The best backpack I have ever used/owned and I'm a pack freak. Very strong and durable made of 1000D Cordura, I've taken it to hell and back, GORUCK Challenge.
I use everyday as a work bag carrying my MacBook and when I get home I throw about 40lbs of bricks into the pack and go run. IT has held up perfectly and if it didn't all GORUCK products have a lifetime scar guarantee.
Created by a former Green Beret for current military operators the GR1 is a dream. Enjoy!

Gallery: On top of Turtle Island's Hood River green roof
Send this story to a friend
- Staff Portland Business Journal
Turtle Island Foods has topped off its $10 million new production facility in Hood River with a 1,400-square-foot green roof.
The producer of all-natural refrigerated and frozen meat alternatives — it's almost Tofurky season, brought to tables by Turtle Island — is going for LEED Platinum on its new 33,000-square-foot facility near the Columbia River.
|On the green roof >>
As Wendy Culverwell reports in Portland Business Journal's Real Estate Daily, Turtle Island turned to Surround Architecture in Boulder, Colo., to design the facility. For the green roof, the company tapped Spring Lake, Mich.-based LiveRoof LLC.
The result is a beautiful stormwater treatment solution and lively gathering spot for employees. Check it out in the gallery.
The Turtle Island facility is expected to employ 100 people.

Spend Christmas with the Occupy London lot? Thanks, but no thanks
The folk camped outside St Paul's Cathedral are inviting you to a Christmas party. Yes, according to one newspaper, the Occupy London lot want to welcome "the 99 per cent" they claim to represent to their camp-site for live music and free food, "including roast turkey", on December 25.
Thanks, but no thanks. Music and free turkey are one thing; but mud, beer bottles, urine and drugs are quite another. According to homelessness charities and witness statements submitted by the City of London Corporation in its bid to evict the campers, St Paul's protesters are wallowing in the kind of dirt and seediness we associate with squatters and Elizabethan London.
One charity, Broadway, spotted a nine-year-old boy at the site whose father was among drug-users who had threatened violence to others living there; they'd sought to remove the child "to a place of safety" but he and his father disappeared before action could be taken. And John Zuber, a police inspector, claimed that open "urination and defecation" had been a "major issue" at the site.
Gross. Unlike the Rev Giles Fraser, who bleated on Start the Week that the protesters, by being "on the sidelines", were just like Jesus, I find the happy campers a turn-off. Theirs is not an admirable resistance to oppression; too many among them have threatened violence, for the Rev and others to portray them as Gandhi-like. Jesus may have loved the poor and homeless, but he believed in dignity (and, I bet, in a minimum of hygiene). What's Christian about the pig-sty the protesters have created at at St Paul's? Their anti-capitalist message is so popular with a certain elite, that their actions have been white-washed. But the reality is that this bearded smelly lot have taken over an ancient Christian site and wrecked it for believers who flocked there. Their defecation and urination on a holy site amount to desecration, as do their drug and alcohol abuse.
So no thanks, you guys: I'll keep my family at home for Christmas.

It is a lot safer if you put the marinade into a clean sauce pan and bring it to the boil and simmer it for five minutes or so. Otherwise, a second safe option is to hold some marinade back as a dipping / finishing mop so that you are not cross contaminating raw and cooked poultry.

MORRIS >> For many ice fisherman in Litchfield County, it isn't about the catch. It's about grilling a hot dog or hamburger and enjoying a cold beverage and some good conversation. According to Q.J. Cole, who participated in the first ever Litchfield Fire Company Ice Fishing Derby, competing to win the $200 first place prize was secondary.
"We come out for the fun," Cole said.
The derby, which lasted from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Bantam Lake, benefited Litchfield Fire Company, the all-volunteer department in Litchfield. According to Chief Jim Koser, one of the organizers of the event, half of the $20 entry fee went towards the department. The other half made up the purse for the top six biggest catches.
"You start small," Dan Swart, and organizer and friend of the fire department said. "This year we had 48 people, and next year you build on it. Every year, you get your name out there, you'll get more people. The more people you get, the bigger the prizes get."
The ice fishermen caught mostly pike and pickerel. Paul Perucci took first prize with a 1.84 kilogram pickerel, according to Koser, which converts to just over 4 pounds. Gary Lockwood came in second with a bass weighing 1.28 kilograms, or 2.8 pounds. John Lonegay took third place with a pickerel weighing 1.25 kilograms, or 2.7 pounds.
"It's the first year that Litchfield has done it," Koser said about the Derby, "but we hope to make it an annual thing." Koser mentioned that they opened the derby at 7 a.m., but the organizers first arrived around 5:30 a.m.
"There were seven vehicles in the parking lot, waiting," Koser said. "Everyone was ready to go at 6:30 a.m."
Fishing, in ice or water, is a matter of patience and equipment. Matt Terzian, a Litchfield resident, described how fishermen go about hunting Bantam Lake for a good-sized catch. First, a fisherman must drill a hole—roughly eight inches across and deep enough to reach water—using either an electric or manual auger. Terzian called his an "old school auger."
"So, you get your hole, you put your hook on there with a leader. I use a steel leader," he said. The results varied—Terzian admitted to not registering a catch—but it appeared that all the fishermen utilized this same basic strategy. Bantam Lake was dotted with round fishing holes, many surrounded by groups of well-dressed locals who were cooking, having a conversation or, for some, reeling in a catch.
Swart said that he was thankful for the "good weather." While setting up the event in January, they weren't sure they'd get as much ice, Swart said, but the recent cold snap took care of that.
He expects they'll hold the derby at roughly the same time next year, Swart said, possibly with some raffle prizes included.
"It's a great fundraiser," he said.

Young Adults July 2014
"What's Your Spark?"
July and August Programs for anyone age 10 and Up…
including any curious adults!
(Note: Some programs require sign up ahead of time.
Call the library at 382-3717 or email Heidi at firstname.lastname@example.com)
Monday, July 14, 3-5 pm: "Newspaper Blackout"
In Steal Like An Artist, Austin Kleon talks about "10 things nobody told you about being creative." If you're a person who really has an urge to express yourself in some creative way, but have trouble getting started, you will find a lot of help in this book. Austin's #10 idea is "Creativity is Subtraction," that when we have too many possibilities, it can actually be very overwhelming. So put some limits on yourself! ("Dr.Seuss," he says, "wrote The Cat in the Hat with only 236 different words, so his editor bet him he couldn't write a book with only 50 different words. Dr. Seuss came back and won the bet with Green Eggs and Ham, one of the bestselling children's books of all time.")
Come play "Newspaper Blackout" with us. You will be able to see just how eloquent you can be by putting some limits on the choices you have for expressing yourself with words. The tools? A bit of newspaper and a black marker. Come see just how fun stealing like an artist can be.
Monday, July 21, 3-5 pm: "Bubbling Beneficial Bugs"
Not all microbes or "bugs," as we tend to refer to them, are created equal. This includes bacteria, fungi, molds and yeasts. Some can, of course, make you sick, and others can make you well. In fact, you owe your very life and survival to many of them. The bacteria in your gut for example, are essential partners in digestion. Without the right numbers and types of them, your health and vitality would go downhill fast. Some help us create foods we like---yogurt and breads, for example. Others have a remarkable ability to preserve foods and even make them more digestible and nutritious. In this session you will get to "co-create" with microorganisms as you learn how to make your own yogurt and bread dough. You will also make friends with lactobacilli, some "darn good" bacteria that have been used for centuries to safely preserve vegetables without the use of preservatives or freezers or canning gadgets. You will make your own fermentation vessel to take home, full of beautiful veggies from local farmers, that will enable you make your own pickles and kraut (or other "cultured" veggie combination) that is not only full of good digestive enzymes, but increased vitamin levels and other healthful properties. Knowing how to make these healthful foods yourself is a lifelong skill that will serve you well.
Class size is limited to 12, so call to sign up ahead of time to reserve a spot, at 382-3717 or email Heidi at email@example.com.
Tuesday, July 29 3-5 pm: "If You Plant It, It Will Talk: The Secret Language of Corn"
Iowa farmers produce over 2 billion bushels of corn a year! People who drive through Iowa often complain that it's boring to see nothing but cornfields for hundreds of miles, but they only seem boring on the surface because we can't really see what's going on in a cornfield.
The really amazing stuff is invisible, happening in the air and underneath the field. Those corn plants are all having a conversation with each other, speaking in a silent, invisible chemical language. They're talking about the weather and the soil, but most importantly they're talking about life-threatening predators.
It may surprise you to learn that corn can have a kind of conversation—not in words like we do—but it can communicate with millions of microorganisms in vast underground networks around its roots. Corn senses and reacts to its environment, responding to sound, light, and chemical signals.
In this afternoon of corn-filled fun, join us in appreciating the beauty of corn, enjoying some tasty corn snacks, and learning the magical interactive story of corn's secret language… an experience that's sure to change the way you think about cornfields forever.
Monday, August 4, 3-5 pm: "Tiny Little Gourd Drum Necklace"
Do you like to work with natural materials, creating something unique that no one else has? You might like to join us for some spinner gourd fun! We will sand and polish tiny little spinner gourds, cut off the small top end, clean out the seeds inside and paint/decorate the outside. Then we'll stretch some soaked goat hide over the top, as in drum making, and use waxed linen or sinew to stretch the goat hide evenly all around the top. We'll also attach a cord and some talismans or trinkets to it as well, so you can hang it around your neck. Each will be different, reflecting your view of beauty. Please call us and let us know if you are coming

No. 1 Wylie overcomes Argyle in five games to reach state finals
GARLAND — Wylie coach Maggie Hunt will be 30 on Tuesday. After Friday's heart-stopping 3-2 win over Argyle in the Class 3A state semifinals, the first-year coach said she'll feel more like 31.
A match like this will age everyone, but at least Wylie gets to play in the title match for the second consecutive year. And after suffering 3-2 losses at the state tournament each of the previous two years, the Lady Bulldogs are hoping a five-game win will vault them to the program's first state championship.Wylie (42-5) plays La Grange (38-4) at 2 p.m. today in the championship match. The Lady Leopards, ranked No. 2 in the state, beat Cleveland Tarkington 3-1 in the other semifinal match Friday.
La Grange is making its first state tournament appearance, while Wylie is playing at state for the third consecutive year. Wylie lost to four-time state champion Lucas Lovejoy 3-2 in the title match last year, after losing 3-2 to Wimberley in the state semifinals in 2010.
The No. 1-ranked Lady Bulldogs were a point away from seeing their hopes and dreams end in a Game 5 once again. Tied at 15, Layne Little's hitting error gave the fourth-ranked Lady Eagles a 16-15 lead and their first shot at game and match point.
But consecutive errors by Argyle allowed Wylie to get its third shot at game and match point. This time, 5-foot-5 junior rightside hitter Bailey Turner sealed the victory with a kill.
"I had confidence in my team," Turner said. "I just wanted to put it down so we could celebrate."
Even after tying the game at 16, things still looked bleak for Wylie. The Lady Bulldogs didn't have their two best hitters — 5-9 senior middle blocker Kylie Jenkins and 5-11 junior outside hitter Little — on the front row.
But Hunt had confidence in the group known as Rotation Five.
"My thoughts were Rotation Five is going to get it done," she said. "We've worked on Rotation Five all season long. Honestly in that fifth game, I was praying, not necessarily for a win, but for our girls to play with confidence."
Rotation Five has 5-7 senior setter Tucker Smith, 5-7 junior middle blocker Cassidy Hanna and Turner on the front row.
"They are three very, very smart players," Hunt said. "They may not have the size like a Kylie or Layne, but they have the brains to get it done. All night (Argyle) had struggled with Bailey because of (her) off speed shot, and that's what she did to close out the game. We couldn't have been prouder."
It was a heart-wrenching loss for Argyle (35-11), which was making its first state tournament appearance after losing to Lovejoy the previous two years in the playoffs.
"Tied at 14, I thought we were going to go get them," Argyle coach Clark Oberle said. "We got a couple of unlucky breaks, and that was the difference. You hate it when unlucky breaks cost you the match, but that's what happens."
Jenkins led Wylie with 22 kills, while Little had 17 and Turner had 10. Smith had 53 assists. Shelby Corn had a match-high 28 digs, and Turner followed with 20. Hanna had 3½ of Wylie's 12 blocks. Jenkins had three, while Smith had 2½.
Brooke Robertson led Argyle with a match-high 26 kills. Katy Keenan had 15, and Sierra James had 13. Blair O'Brien had 63 assists, and Laine Lowry had 21 digs. The Lady Eagles had four blocks.
Wylie won the first two games 25-23 and 25-18. It appeared the Lady Bulldogs would cruise into the finals. But after trailing most of third game, Argyle rallied to tie it at 22 before finally winning 25-23.
Robertson provided the spark, getting five kills after trailing 22-20.
Robertson continued to pound the ball in the fourth game, and Argyle never trailed en route to a 25-17 win.
It was quite a turn of events, after Wylie never trailed in the second game to get a 2-0 lead.
"They had us on our heels a little bit," Oberle said. "But just like we have all season, we fought back and showed courage and heart."
Hunt saw both the good and the bad in her Lady Bulldogs in Games 3 and 4.
"We made more errors in that third set than we did in the first two," she said. "We got rattled a little bit because of that. There was some calls that could have gone either way, and it got us a little rattled. But I saw them fight there at the end of the fourth set, and I knew they would keep fighting in the fifth set."
After leading by as much as 10-8 in the fifth and deciding game, Wylie watched as Robertson sparked her team to tie the game at 11. It was tied four more ties with three lead changes before Wylie finally won it.
"We talked all season about fighting every point, and I think that showed today," Hunt said. "When you win the fifth game by two points, against a very talented team, that's what it took. We credit a lot to our defense for allowing us to do that."
Jenkins said the five-game match left Wylie humbled, but she believes it also made the team better going into today's title match against a La Grange team playing in the state tournament for the first time in the program's history.
"I think games like that are why we're ranked No. 1," she said. "We never quit, and we never give up. Even when we're down, and they have game point, we never get down on each other. We're confident in whoever is on the court that they can get the job done."
Added Smith: "I think that gives a reality check for tomorrow. It's going to be a battle. It's not going to just be handled to us. Like Kylie said, it's a wake up call for tomorrow. We can do it, but it's going to be hard."

Short. This one makes Plumb Line seem like a full 60m pitch. 6-7 finger locks, a few .3 camalots and your on top. Not a gimme, but the length makes it an easy onsight for your ego. Could be bouldered honestly if you feel good about it. I chose not to but its that short. Do a couple laps continuously to actually make it seem like a real climb.

Real GenF20 Plus Reviews !
Consumer Testimonials are better than any Articles ! Good or Bad ! Positive or Negative ! The feedback of a consumer is always welcome ! As you're probably aware of it, we're receiving a lot of questions towards the products we promote here. And though we're just acting as an "intermediate" with the pharmaceutical laboratory, offering a 10% discount and supporting charity, we also like to discuss as much as we can with our most loyal clients. We can also dissipate your fears if you have some !
Read all our Clients Feedbacks below !
hello, my name is krystel. i am here to tell you my experience with genf20 plus, as i am consuming this supplement since 4 years now. i began when i was 29 because i had trouble to lose some fat "where you know women have some"… As you can see on my picture my butt is an important part of my physical attributes, and if i like it now it's because of GenF20. taking these pills have helped me to lose fat, and tonify my skin over the first months and now 4 years later i really like my body. I am not doing a lot of sport because i have a job where i walk a lot, working in tourism to help tourists discover the marvels of my country. So i needed a product which could suppress the fat accumulated over years, and without the need to spend 1 hour running outside. Genf20 succeeded where no other products previously did, and i can tell you that i have tryed many fat burners but apart from sweating and being more stressed due to the high cafeine dosages, i never lost as much as i did with genf20 !!! So yes i definately recommend this product.
Thanks for your review Krystel, GenF20 Plus is indeed different than all these bodybuilding supplements, or fat burners which are only making you sweat like cows. The ingredients used are all natural and so also more expensive ! That explains why our promoted products are not as cheap as what you could find in bodybuilding stores, but this extra money paid guarantees you quality and safety as you already noticed.
greetings ! if you want to know what to feel great is, then the answer is genf20 ! It's a friend at my local gym who bought it, and over the course of months he really grew in muscles ! So one day i just asked him what bodybuilding supplement he was taking, thinking about some new gainer like muscletech. And no he just told me he was taking some HGH pills, i didn't even know what HGH was… until of course i began to use it ! Well… you know i was seeing the results on my friend and i was a little jealous hahahaha !!! So i've bought some bottles, took them all over the 3 next months and noticed some really good results. More workout performances, more motivation and even in my general life i was feeling more powerful and happy, and also more confident about my own future. It was like somebody had put a new smile on my face, and i was simply enjoying life better than before.
Many of our consumers told us that GenF20 is better than a simple product, and that it literally changed the way they were seeing and living their life. Your review reinforces even more this general feeling, and we're always glad to hear from people like you Alberto, who have managed to open themselves to new horizons !
hi guys, chris in holland. Apart from smoking weed and fucking premium quality hookers in red light district, we dutch are working hard at gym ! And so most of us are taking products coming from the united states, because the dosages are higher than what we find in europe ! And… well as long as you know what you're doing it's the best way to grow muscles for cheap. GenF20 was a product i heard about 6 years ago, and it really changed my life ! Actually it didn't only help me to perform well in gym, but also in life at my day to day work, where i was able to focus even more during meetings. Of course i also used more recently the newest version called GenF20 Plus, more expensive than the original (6 bottles for the same price of 12 before) but also more powerful. I am taking it since 1 year now… by the way i am 31 and i know… my body look like i am only 25 ! All Thanks to GenF20 !
hello i am bruce and i am glad to deliver my review of genf20. first of all i tryed genf20 because… at some point i was feeling bad in my life, and i was needing something to give me a kick in the butt ! I have read a lot of reviews overtime on GenF20, some good and some bad… even lot of bad things ! and i have to admit that i bought this product, because i was tired of reading all these negative reviews. It's like another company had orchestrated it all to bring genf20 down… And i am the kind of guy who like to try things which are described by others as the black sheep. So i bought it, i consumed it and since… that's the only product i am still taking… some years ago i had lost my job, i didn't know what to do in life and now since genf20 ? i am a sport model, and this cropped picture is one of many others from my book. I am making good money, i look like if i was 5 years younger and a lot of younger boys are wondering how i do to stay in such a form. The answer is not difficult, genf20 plus helped me to achieve all of it. But of course to understand you have to try it first.
A lot of people are saying that HGH pills do not work ! You know at first i wasn't even knowing what HGH products were ? Some friends told me you had to do injections in order to get the best benefits out of HGH… but then they told me it was highly expensive. And of course none of them actually tryed some HGH pills, they were just all assuming that it was shit… as many others i decided to test it, buying just 1 bottle at first and then… after 1 month i bought the full package ! Man maybe GenF20 Plus is largely less efficient than HGH injections, because i've never tested HGH injections and i don't want to anyway, but then i am wondering how powerful is a HGH injection as GenF20 Plus is already Awesome ! Frankly this product is Powerful ! it's giving you a Mega BOOST in everything you do ! You can see i have a hard body and never did i get such before taking these pills… understand that there was a before Genf20 and after genf20 ! And now that i know the effect, i will not go back in time… on the contrary my life is now the best i have ever felt ! So people can talk shit about genf20 all they want, but when you try it it's like the hand of god on your shoulder !
Trust me or not… but before taking this shit i was 60 pounds more heavier ! and no it wasn't muscles, it was all just fat ! And trust me also that i wasn't taking selfies in the mirror like i did for this testimonial, as i was of course ashame of myself ! I am a geek you see and i like to spend time on videogames, i was subscribed to a local sport club yes… but i always had better to do on my screen, and it was a good excuse for me to avoid any workouts Then Genf20 entered my life one day, and 1 year later here's my body ! Yeah of course it took a good year to lose it all… but for somebody who was a Geek before (still a little now of course lol) i find the results are pretty good ! now not only my WoW avatar is bodybuilded, i am too lol !
We received some stories like yours Erik ! And we're always glad to hear, that even computer nerds can accomplish things they thought impossible before consuming GenF20 Plus. To be a Geek is not a fatality of course, but it requires a supplement like GenF20 to really boost one's life ! So Congratulations again on your work !
As soon as we get more testimonials and reviews on Gen20 Plus from our loyal clients, and provided they accept to share with all of you their feedbacks, we will post them all on this page ! So check this out from time to time ;-) Fair Coupon Code

Before you start creating database entities, spend some time designing your database to ensure that it is fit for your purpose. The time you invest in this process saves a lot of time and trouble later. Professional database designers fine-tune their design using a process called 'normalization'. The normalization process takes your database design through a number of 'normal forms', which aim to ensure efficient data access, greater query flexibility, and easier maintenance.
For example, the First Normal Form (or '1NF') ensures that all your database columns contain only a single value. A column that contains multiple data values is difficult to access and keep up to date. It also ensures that each table row only represents a single 'real world' item. Like all the other normal forms, this encourages you to split your data across multiple tables, with less rows in[Read more...]

Dear Kettlers,
A couple of years ago I wrote a post about key/value tables and how they can ruin the day of any honest person that wants to create BI solutions. The obvious advice I gave back then was to not use those tables in the first place if you're serious about a BI solution. And if you have to, do some denormalization.
However, there are occasions where you need to query a source system and get some report going on them. Let's take a look at an example :
mysql> select * from person; +----+-------+----------+ | id | name | lastname | +----+-------+----------+ | 1 | Lex | Luthor | | 2 | Clark | Kent | | 3 | Lois | Lane | +----+-------+----------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql> select * from person_attribute; +----+-----------+---------------+------------+ | id | person_id | attr_key[Read more...]
At Kscope this year, I attended a half day in-depth session entitled Data Warehousing Performance Best Practices, given by Maria Colgan of Oracle. My impression, which was confirmed by folks in the Oracle world, is that she knows her way around the Oracle optimizer.
These are my notes from the session, which include comparisons of how Oracle works (which Maria gave) and how MySQL works (which I researched to figure out the difference, which is why this blog post took a month after the conference to write). Note that I am not an expert on data warehousing in either Oracle or MySQL, so these are more concepts to think about than[Read more...]
If you've been reading up on the various NoSQL offerings and have wanted to try out one but don't know how to get started, this is one of the easiest ways. I chose MongoDB for this example because I'm going to start using it for a project that needs features that MySQL isn't as fast at: namely denormalized data with billions of rows. MongoDB has plenty of drivers for other scripting and high-level languages but I'll focus on the PHP driver today. If there is interest I can do a write up on Python usage later. This example is limited to CentOS, Fedora, and Redhat 5 servers that use the yum package management system. For more information you can reference their download page: http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Downloads

During my work with companies using MySQL, I have encountered many issues with regard to schema design, normalization and indexing. Of the most common errors are incorrect data types definition. Many times the database is designed by programmers or otherwise non-expert DBAs. Some companies do not have the time and cannot spare the effort of redesigning and refactoring their databases, and eventually face poor performance issues.
Here's a compilation of "the right and the wrong" data types.
INT(1) is not one byte long.
INT(10) is no bigger than
INT(2). The number in parenthesis is misleading, and only describes the text alignment of the number, when displayed in an interactive shell. All mentioned types are the same INT, have the same storage capacity, and the same range. If you want a
I'll be speaking at OSCON 2008 in Portland, delivering my Normalization Session. More details as I get them.
I've had one session accepted at the 2008 MySQL Conference & Expo (which is a good thing since I only submitted one session for nomination).
This year's session is titled How to be Normal, a Guide for Developers. I decided to return to my old Normalization talk, but lean more towards the practical than the theoretical this year and work on common scenarios faced by developers rather than walk a person through the normal forms like I have previously done.
Here's the abstract I'll be sending in to replace the ugly one I submitted with:

Here are some image updates, and a few comments on what you see.
1. Cover illustration for the book Alanya, 'Drakarna vaknar' (Swedish translation from Norweigan original). It was written mainly for 9-12 year olds.
The image was meant to be (and is) cropped quite a bit on the actual print
2. Cover illustration and design for the book 'I Evigendt' (Norweigan). Aimed mainly at older children and teenagers, it is said to work fine also for grown-ups.
I didn't read this one, but worked entirely from descriptions, which in this case proved to be quite difficult for various reasons.
The fairy, the people in the back, and the "bananas" in the tree was not in the original sketch, but very late adds-ons, desired by the client.
3. A COW made for the 'Colossus from Hell'-topic. Of course, I forgot about designing and lost myself totally in scale and mood.
4. Portfolio piece. (At Dusk We Run) I don't know why, but there is something about grassy slopes ending in a forest that I find very attractive and mystical.
So this is my attempt to catch that mood.
5. Portfolio piece. (From the Deeper Woods) A bit more cozy again. Just like them hobbits, I like green things...
6. Portfolio piece. (Hydra, your days are over!) This is one of those, "Can I do a multi-figure fighting scene, and keep it readable?"-tests. Took me five days to finish.
7. Portfolio piece. (The Price of Peace). Traditional fantasy still works well for me, and will probably always do so.
8. A Wizard character concept, finished yesterday.

Nice job, love the green piece with the hobbit. A small crit for the n° 7, i don't understand why the skeleton had an arrow in the chest ? Has i understand the piece, the dragon is suppose to watch over the treasure, and the adventurers come to steal it. So, that skeleton shouldn't be burnt or chopped to pieces ?
This is fantastic work! And I rarely see a piece like "At Dusk We Run", filled so full of movement and story!
Fabulous work but the 5th in particular takes my breath away. 5 stars all the way!
First of all:
El Jeremie: Thanks a lot! Regarding the skeleton I guess the story is more complicated than meets the eye. The dragons obviously didn't kill the guy, but for some reason they're keeping his remains (a cursed body perhaps? a magical arrow they are unable to retrieve without destroying it? a body to be used as intimidation, or to bargain with? A proof of someones death? You shall have to use your imagination... The people are not there for the treasure but to sacrifice the young blond elf leashed in the background. It is the price of peace.
artistceleb: Many thanks! I like that piece myself, so I'm glad someone else likes it to.
grue Five stars? That's kind, thank you! Your favorite piece seems to be liked in general, also in other forums. I'm glad you like it.

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — LAWRENCE — The Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence has announced that Briyith Betances was named Massachusetts Youth of the Year and will go on to the Northeast Regional Youth of the Year competition in June. She received a $1,000 scholarship from the sponsor, Tupperware, as well as a $5,000 renewable scholarship from the Kraft family of Boston in memory of Myra Kraft.
Betances, who will graduate Friday from Central Catholic High School, is a long-time member of the BGCL at the Beacon Unit, located in the Beacon Housing Project in South Lawrence. She has demonstrated strong leadership at the Club and is currently serving as President of the Keystone Club youth leadership program. She also serves as the Beacon Unit's dance instructor, .
She is an honor roll student and active student leader, and is very involved in community service projects at the school. She launched a service project called "The Baby Benefit," raising money to purchase baby food, diapers and wipes for Brigid's Crossing, a homeless shelter for teen mothers in Lowell. Briyith has also been involved with the Marist Youth Mentoring program at Central Catholic, pairing high school students with first and second graders at the Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence.
Betances has mentored an 8-year old boy for the past three years. With her support and encouragement, he has improved as a student and is currently on the third grade honor roll. She plans to attend Fitchburg State in the fall, and aspires to be a broadcast journalist.
The Youth of the Year program gives young people a voice and a path to showcase their personal development. Through essays and speeches, YOY candidates illustrate how they have turned their aspirations into actions and overcome obstacles to achieve success. Each Boys & Girls Club is represented by a locally selected Youth of the Year, and 37 teens competed for the Massachusetts title. The winner of the Northeast Regional competition will go on to the selection process for the National Youth of the Year, who becomes the spokesperson for the Boys & Girls Club of America for the year.
In past years, the Boys & Girls of Lawrence has produced an unprecedented two national Youth of the Year winners and two runners up, each of whom visited the White House to meet the President in the Oval Office.

I got to go with a team to a special celebrity event. It was very exciting to see a real-world situation. I have also been to a news taping, a press conference, and tours with the media. Everyone has been welcoming an always made sure I knew of any upcoming intern opportunties. I have written releaes, put together media lists, worked on calendar listings, ran errands and participated in many activities I would not otherwise had the chance to do. ECPR is a professional setting where you really learn what the PR world is like.

This is our son's second year at IIAS. From the curriculum to the of unwavering commitment (and accountability) by the Principal and Teacher's, IIAS is the BEST! Our son LOVES going to school each day and is challenged both academically and personally to excel to be his best. Thank you IIAS!
My children have been students at the school since its inception. I have been impressed by the dedication of the teachers the PTA and the principal Ms. Clarke. I love the fact that the students can participate in the IB curriculum, and they continue to stress language, PE and music. There is a lot of work with the IB curriculum but it is well worth it. That combined with their Gifted Program for students makes an excellent learning environment
Very good school. We absolutely love the school. Very good communication between parents and teachers/staff. The broad curriculum is refreshing for a Georgia school.
I was somewhat shocked after reading some of the bad reviews. I am very happy with the school. The challenging curriculum enforces character building as well as academics. The schoolwork is much more advanced than the local public school. The staff is very knowledgable and friendly. All of this is a result of the strong leadership at the top. Best principal ever.
we are in our 3rd year here at Imagine and we have enjoyed every year. the school has grown and continues to grow every year. i appreciate and enjoy the staff and faculty here. they really strive for the children to be WORLD learners! looking for to many more years here at Imagine!
My child has been going to Imagine for 3years now and I see such improvements. Highly recommended if you are a parent who is not afraid of extra work.
Our experience at IIAS has been wonderful. My daughter is being pushed daily to excel. I would like to thank the principal, Mrs Clarke for being the strong hand that helps to enforce the educational standards needed for our children to compete in the world. I would recommend this school to anyone.
I have a first grader at IIAS and am very pleased with the program. I love the team teaching concept giving the children the experience of varying teaching styles . He has a wonderful core teacher who genuinely loves her job and goes the extra distance to make sure each student reaches their potential. I love the fact that parents have the opportunity to volunteer in the classroom and not just at special functions. I also like the support and encouragement the teachers get from the administration staff. Everyone seems to pull together to make sure the children have a rewarding experience. If I had to describe IIAS in a few words I would say "it's a public school with a private school atmosphere". The curriculum is very challenging but our child is learning things in first grade that I didn't learn until 3rd grade or higher. I babysit a child attending a regular public school in the same grade and the complexity of the two children's work is so vastly different that this child wants to do my child's homework because it's more interesting! This has been a great first year for us and we're looking forward to being able to go through the entire IIAS program.
Love our Charter School! The academics cannot be compared to any other schools in our area. The work is challenging and very hard but I would much rather my child be challenged at a more academically enhanced school rather than be a superstar at a mediocre school! The staff is a true team at our school and everyone has a smile on their face! I actually walked in the other day to find the Principal and the Assistant Principal manning the front desk so that team could meet....bet that doesn't happen at other schools! I know parents who pulled their kids out due to their child struggling and then they go to the public schools and make straight A's...that alone should tell you how much more rigorous our curriculum is!!! I will gladly take homework, projects, essays, etc. over substandard education anytime!
My child loves this school and is doing great there. I can only speak for his teachers, they are professional and engaged with the students. He is ready for 1st grade and he's only halfway through knidergarten.
All I can say is.....overall, a great school. There will always be challenges but is how those challenges is the key. My daughter has been a student since kindergarden andis currently in the 2nd grade. If we could, we would be here until the 8th grade.
My son has been at IIAS since kindergarten. He is now in 2nd grade and all of his teachers have been fabulous. They are very caring and often go the extra mile, they are quite dedicated. The curiculum is great with Spanish and P.E. every day. The principle is accessible, involved and knows each student by name. Required parent volunteer hours keeps the parents involved too. The whole environment is warm, caring and nurturing, I would not have my son go to school anywhere else
Imagine Smyrna offers students a challenging curriculum above and beyond GA Standards. If you are looking for a growing school that challenges students to grow academically and personally, Imagine Smyrna is a great choice. The teachers and administration are extremely dedicated to the well-being of each and every student.
I am truly amazed by the dedication of the teachers and staff who go above and beyond the call of duty to provide a quality education to the children of IIAS. I appreciate the efforts of the school to incorporate the IB program. I feel welcomed when I walk in the door by the extraordinary front office team. The building administration is responsive and reactive to concerns of the school's stakeholders. I find that IIAS is a great "choice" for the families of Cobb County. The school has created a Character Council to empower students to become involved in the progressive movement of the school.
After months of debating where to take our Kindergartner we finally decided to give school choice a chance with Imagine International Academy of Smyrna. To our delight our daughter has grown both socially and academically. For example the students had an American Symbols project that they were able to present and it was outstanding. Many of the students were confidant in presenting their home made symbols like, The Statue of Liberty, The Washington Monument, and The American Flag. Her teacher has been wonderful. She responds to emails and concerns that we have as a family. She sends positive notes home about her progress and my daughter is always bragging about how much they have learned during the day. Communication with the administration is timely and positive. It seems like IIAS really does have a family atmosphere. I am able to meet other parents during volunteer opportunities that have let me know that we made the correct choice of sending our daughter here. We will be sending our son here next year.
I took my daughter out of this school. It is horrible and the principal is the most unprofessional, unethical, and dishonest person I have ever met. She does not care about the kids and is only concerned about her 'paycheck' which she stated in several open forums at the school in front of parents, teachers and kids. I don't know how she got the job. They obviously have very low standards for hiring aprincipal. I feel sorry for every childstill enrolled. I am glady paying for private school after that experience.
This school is horrible! I took my daughter out after only 2 months. You wait in line for carpool for almost 2 hours to pick up your child. But most importantly, they send home 8-12 handouts (front and back) for your child to complete for homework and she wasn't getting done until 9-10 in the evening. I had a conference with the teacher and told her that quantity doesn't impress me. Sending home a lot of homework doesn't mean that you have an advanced curriculum especially when she's in the 3rd grade and completing 'Lets Tell Time' handouts. She learned how to tell time in Kindergarten & 1st grade. She's in the (regular) public school in my area now and is more challenged than she'd ever be at IIAS.
This is our second year and I have seen the school change. It has grown by leaps and bounds. My daughter is so happy there. She is one of those kids born in september so she has always been way ahead of her class. My concern had been that she ought to adequately challenged. The teacher and principal rose to the occasion and indeed did challenge all those kids that are ahead as compared to their peers. My daughter was doing 2nd grade stuff while being in 1st grade. Kudos to 1st grade teachers, especially Ms.Cooper. I am looking forward to sending my second one there.
What an awful experience this school was for our family. I feel for the parents that have children here because although everyone is afraid to say it, it's a terrible feeling to send your child to school with your fingers crossed each day. We have left the school due to a most unprofessional principal and have not looked back. Thankfully, that has been one of the best choices my husband & I have ever made for our family.

We're going to be on a river cruise next September, and lots of little questions have been coming to mind. If we buy local wines, will we be able to bring them onto the ship and drink them at dinner, or on the observation deck while relaxing, etc?
On the last day, how early can we schedule an airport departure? I'm planning to ask our travel agent, but thought I would try here -- as I think of the questions. Thanks for any insights!

We were on a Viking cruise this year, and they encouraged us to buy local wines. They served them at dinner. The wines were well cared for and cheerfully served. The included wines that they served with dinner were generally satisfactory but not so good that were discouraged from experimenting.
Our last day was at a hotel in Bucharest and our flight was at 7AM. They provided a "box" breakfast, and it worked out well. On ocean cruises, disembarkation is usually AM and airline scheduling is tricky. Check.

We are also going on a Viking Rhine River Cruise on Sept 15th out of Amsterdam. We found out there is not a corkage fee either so you might want to bring a cork screw for your room.
