I've never been a very big fan of MyISAM; I would argue that in most situations, any possible advantages to using MyISAM are far outweighed by the potential disadvantages and the strengths of InnoDB. However, up until MySQL 5.6, MyISAM was the only storage engine with support for full-text search (FTS). And I've encountered many […]

How Percona does a MySQL Performance Audit
Our customers or prospective customers often ask us how we do a performance audit (it's our most popular service). I thought I should write a blog post that will both answer their question, so I can just reply "read all about it at this URL" and share our methodology with readers a little bit. This […]
MySQL Error control changes
In MySQL 5.0 mainly error control was improved, such as strict mode was added to change famous MySQL behavior of cutting too large strings, too big numbers and allowing you to use dates such as February 31st. In one case however reverse change was done – in regards to storage engine initialization. Previously if you […]

InnoDB file formats: Here is one pitfall to avoid
UPDATED: explaining the role of innodb_strict_mode and correcting introduction of innodb_file_format Compressed tables is an example of an InnoDB feature that became available with the Barracuda file format, introduced in the InnoDB plugin. They can bring significant gains in raw performance and scalability: given the data is stored in a compressed format the amount of […]
Getting Percona PAM to work with Percona Server & its client apps
Percona Server is bundled with the PAM plugin which opens a plethora of ways to authenticate to MySQL such as restricting time when users can connect to MySQL, authenticate via a USB key, authenticate to an external authentication system such as LDAP and many, many more PAM compatible mechanisms. If you want to use PAM […]
Recovering from a bad UPDATE statement
Did you just run an UPDATE against your 10 million row users table without a WHERE clause? Did you know that in MySQL 5.5 that sometimes you can recover from a bad UPDATE statement? This is possible if you are running in binlog_format=ROW ! Imagine this scenario:
CREATE TABLE `t1` (
`c1` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`c2` varchar(10) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`c1`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;
INSERT INTO `t1` (`c2`) VALUES ('michael'), ('peter'), ('aamina');
We run an accidental UPDATE statement that […]
A recovery trivia or how to recover from a lost ibdata1 file
A few day ago, a customer came to Percona needing to recover data. Basically, while doing a transfer from one SAN to another, something went wrong and they lost the ibdata1 file, where all the table meta-data is stored. Fortunately, they were running with innodb_file_per_table so the data itself was available. What they could provide […]
Using any general purpose computer as a special purpose SIMD computer
Often times, from a computing perspective, one must run a function on a large amount of input. Often times, the same function must be run on many pieces of input, and this is a very expensive process unless the work can be done in parallel. Shard-Query introduces set based processing, which on the surface appears […]

Ahoy there, Cruise Loggers! While Gene Sloan enjoys a few days off, several of us from USA TODAY's Travel staff will be filling in with the latest cruise news. Today, your guest blogger will be Laura Bly, a veteran travel writer in USA TODAY's Destinations & Diversions section.
It's Monday, Cruise Loggers, and that means it's once again time for our "Reader Tip of the Week" feature -- a chance for you, the readers of the Cruise Log, to share your collective wisdom.
This week's topic: Scoring a free or discounted cabin upgrade.
With the economic downturn prompting would-be travelers to stay put, more ships are sailing with empty cabins. As a result, mused Reddog01 in a Cruise Forum post last week, getting bumped up would seem to be commonplace this year.
It's certainly happening at hotels. As USA TODAY's Barbara De Lollis reported recently, "many hotels are upgrading customers into more expensive rooms at no charge as pricier rooms sit empty. Usually, upgrades are based on availability and granted by a desk clerk at check-in time. Hoteliers hope to make guests who appear in bad times extra happy so they'll return — and maybe pay for an upgraded room — in better times."
On the other hand, says Cruise Forum contributor Cruisepakngo, "most cruise lines try to sell the upgrades. They need the cash plain and simple. If they can make $200 extra by moving you up to a balcony or suite it is more economical versus jumping someone up for free. Giving free upgrades gets the people who have purchased better accommodations up front upset."
So, Cruise Loggers, are you having more luck getting a better cabin category than you paid for? Tell us your strategies for snagging an upgrade in the comment area below.
The tips you submit could appear in the print version of USA TODAY. Thanks again to all who have contributed! What should we discuss next week? Leave your ideas for Reader Tip of the Week topics in the comment area below.

Retailers are gearing up to meet deadlines for the incandescent light bulb ban. Ikea has already stopped selling the inefficient bulbs. And California has pulled the plug and is letting current supplies run down. Many incandescent lovers are shedding tears and hating on the mercury-containing CFLs and the more expensive (though infinitely more efficient) LEDs. […][Read More]
Efficient LED Light Bulbs For The Home
LED light bulbs have some huge advantages over incandescent and compact fluorescent (CFL) bulbs. But they perform differently, so here's your guide to understanding LED bulbs so you can enjoy their benefits and play to their strengths.[Read More]
Compact Fluorescents (CFLs)
CFLs provide the same amount of light (lumens) as standard incandescent bulbs, but have lower wattage ratings. A standard incandescent light is very inefficient because much of the energy it uses is turned into heat instead of light. A compact fluorescent bulb turns more of its energy into light and less into heat. It uses […][Read More]
LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes)
In recent years, significant advances have been made in the manufacturing of LED bulbs. Once used only as power indicators on appliances, LEDs can now be used to light a room or in powerful flashlights. Some of the advantages of LEDs are: LEDs use about 1/50 of the power of standard incandescent bulbs, and half […][Read More]

(KTSF by Hellas Leung)
"Happy Valentine's Day," shouted people who gathered outside a San Francisco courtroom waiting for a ruling on Prop. 8.
The three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Prop. was unconstitutional.
People opposed to the proposition said it's the best Valentine's Day gift for them.
Former San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom was recognized by those against the proposition.
"I think we owe gratitude to all that began in this building eight years ago," said Dennis Herrera, San Francisco City Attorney. "And we put a human face on marriage discrimination."
Opposers of Prop. 8 said the proposition makes gay families inferior to those of different-sex couples.
However, Bill Tam, who introduced Prop. 8, said the relationship between same sex is different from opposite sex.
"You just call the orange an apple, " Tam said, when two kinds of relationships are called "marriages."
The judges ruled that the proposition is unconstitutional. But Tam said the constitution has never mentioned marriage.
Moreover, Tam says Prop. 8, which was approved by voters in 2008, has already defined a "marriage" is between a man and a woman.

Breaking: Beckman Leaves Condé Nast
It's official: Richard Beckman, chief executive of Women's Wear Daily publisher Fairchild Fashion Group resigned this morning. He is leaving the Condé Nast division to become CEO of e5 Global Media, a recently created media company that purchased The Hollywood Reporter, Billboard, MediaWeek and AdWeek from Nielsen last month, in a move first reported by The New York Post.
Beckman moved from his position as president of the Condé Nast Media Group to Fairchild last March, a move that was seen by many in the industry as a demotion. Condé Nast has yet to name a replacement.
Update: The Hollywood Reporter writes today about the new CEO of its parent company: "Beckman said his career and passion have focused on music, entertainment and media, 'making this collection of brands particularly alluring to me.' He added: 'I look forward to developing these valuable brands and improving and extending them in the years to come.'"

As part of my quest to improve my financial health, I want to understand a little more about investing. But the truth is, I don't want to understand too much more about investing.
When I chose my racehorse all those years ago, even though its colour played a major and unscientific factor, I was smart enough to also use any easily available data to narrow down the selection. I knew how to read the race program, so that I could see how well it had recently performed and what its handicap was to be; I asked my knowledgeable older brother if it would run better on firm or heavy-going ground; I'd heard of the jockey, or perhaps the trainer. If I'd had such a thing as an iphone then, I might even have Googled it. But I wouldn't have analyzed the odds, or made detailed comparisons with other runners. In any case, there was only half-an-hour before the next race! I just wanted to have a small sense of "knowing", which would allow me a tinge of smugness if I doubled my money (because after all, it wasn't just chance!), but wouldn't dash my confidence if I lost it.
The stake is a little higher now, but I find that I still have neither time nor, if I am honest, the inclination to learn too much. I want to be able to take some of the credit if it works, but I still don't want to become an expert.
In fact, I have a confession to make. Ever since childhood, I've believed that the police are always right, the justice system works, teachers are smart, doctors know what's wrong with their patients, and politicians have the country's best interests at heart. Yes, my transition into adulthood has been something of a rude awakening! But still, when I take advice from experts, I generally believe them; it's a form of laziness mixed with a kind of blind faith, and mitigated only by the fact that I do try to do a certain amount of research before I choose the expert. After that, I'm pretty much in his or her hands until I'm convicted for a crime I didn't commit, the treatment makes me feel worse, or my child doesn't know his times table.
So when I concluded last week that a number of brokerage names kept coming back to haunt me, I didn't particularly want to equip myself to make detailed comparisons of them. They are all reputable names, I can easily find people who swear by each one (and, no doubt, people who swear at each one) and I'm sure that the differences between them are not so large that in the long run it will have any huge significance for my small sum of money.
What I really wanted was a short-cut way to understand which service might be best for me. And the way to get that, it seemed to me, was to find an unbiased, trusted advisor.
Which brings me to explain that this whole blog started as the result of a conversation with a long-standing friend. He runs an online company which specializes in helping small investors decide where to put their money by using a process driven entirely by a software program. Our conversation hinged on my point that even his relatively simple website was daunting to a financial ignoramus of my exceptional calibre. It was after that conversation that I decided to wise up a bit.
Well, now I'm feeling a little bit wiser, at least. So I went back to my friend last week and asked him what I should do next. And now that I'm ready to invest, his company has finally become interesting to me because I know and trust him, and therefore might do to you because I know and trust him on your behalf, and of course, any mention of it will serve as the second time I've plugged something, but at least you know that I know that you know. Can't say fairer than that.
And he did give me good advice and with his help and a fresh glance at his suddenly much-less-daunting (well, mildly less daunting) website, I went through the whole process of selecting an online broker, determining my risk profile and choosing an investment plan for my $5k.
Unfortunately, or possibly fortunately for you, I have been reliably informed that no one likes to read a blog that goes on for more than a few hundred words. So in the best of literary traditions, I only have one thing more to say for now:
To Be Continued.

Investigators have made an arrest in connection with a double murder at a Wingstop restaurant in Oakland late Monday night and are looking for a second suspect, police said this morning.
Two restaurant employees were fatally shot at the Wingstop at 528 Lake Park Ave., near Lake Merritt, at about 11:45 p.m. Monday, according to police.
The employees' names have not been released, but Oakland interim Police Chief Sean Whent said at a brief news conference at police headquarters this morning that they were both Richmond residents.
Officers responded to the eatery after being alerted of an alarm activation there, police said. They found the two employees with gunshot wounds, and both were pronounced dead at the scene.
Whent said the shooting happened inside the restaurant.
Investigators initially said the killings may have occurred during a robbery, but Whent said that does not appear to be the case, based on surveillance video footage and witness statements.
A suspect in the double murder was taken into custody just before 8 a.m. today in West Oakland, Whent said.
Police have not released a description of the second suspect.
Police are planning to hold a meeting with area merchants to discuss crime prevention and community involvement, but have not yet announced a time or location.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call the Police Department's homicide unit at (510) 238-3821, Crime Stoppers of Oakland at (510) 777-8572 or the tip line at (510) 777-3211.
Those who prefer to send a text message can text "TIP OAKLANDPD," followed by the message, to 888777.

The 16th of December and time for the biggest book I've reviewed in quite a while. I've been lugging it around for a few days and even though I'm sad that the story is over I'm quite happy to be able to put this massive tome back into my book shelf.
By: Yoshihiro Tatsumi
Language: English (Japanese)
856 pages, b&w, softcover
Drawn & Quarterly, 2009
It has been quite an interersting journey, as a foreigner slowly getting to grips with the Japanese comics culture. I didn't really understand just how much I had to discover until the end of the 1990s, when I read the astonishing book Manga! Manga! by Frederic L. Schodt and realized that there was a whole cultural continent out there, marked with "Here be dragons!". For a few years I fully immersed myself in manga, travelling to Japan several times to do research, writing articles and books on the subject and most importantly reading voraciously.
At first, everything was interesting, fresh and new. After a while, though, I started to feel that manga was becoming just as repetitive as most comics from other parts of the world. I realised that I was just seeing the tip of the iceberg and started looking for older classical comics, alternative comics and so on, and ultimately discovered that what was available in English was an infitesimally small part of Japanese comics, almost all geared towards a young and, up until a few years ago, male audience.
Tatsumi is one of those artist who has made really interesting comics for a long period of time, but just wasn't deemed commersially viable for a translation into English. Now, when the manga reading generation has grown up, it is finally possible to actually publish some of his comics. I have read the collections of his early short stories, that Drawn & Quartely has published, and have been impressed if not fully convinced. Yes, Tatsumi was way ahead of his time, writing thoughtful, realistic, personal stories at a time when cartoonists in the Western world were still struggling with genre comics or making underground comics which were, let's face it, more into rebelling against things than actually saying something relevant. Still, some of Tatsumi's short stories have felt a bit empty.
Not so with A Drifting Life, which I would rank as one of the most interesting, important translated manga so far. This is a highly personal, to a high degree autobiographical story, following Tatsumi's life from the time when he as a teenager started making comics, ending with the death of his hero Osamu Tezuka. It is at the same time the story of the comics industry in Japan, which Tatsumi has been a part of for more than a half century by now; 50 years which has seen a growth commercially and artistically which is unrivalled in the world. Add to that a third layer, which is the historic development of Japan, from a defeated, occupied nation to a world leading, economic super-power, and the story gets intensely interesting.
Reading A Drifting Life is very rewarding, no matter which of these three levels you are interested in. If you, like me, are interested in all of them, it is unquestionably a tour-de force. A Drifting life is nothing short of a masterpiece.

Discussion in 'Portable Vaporizers' started by Dogman, Apr 16, 2012.
Just figured that XP is for Xtra Performance. Should be a good thing!
Well it looks like my INH has got lost in the post, so I'm not sure what to do now. Should I buy another one or wait till after christmas and buy an XP?
Lost in the post?!?! Isn't PV going to cover it?
^ if it was lost they might give him a refund.
so yeah id wait for the xp, i want an INH so bad right now but i would rather wait for the newer model..
I promise I will treat it well and hopefully once it arrives I'll record a couple videos
Expect to see me around here quite a bit, I'm pretty confident I'm going to love it!
no real serious comparison to the T1. The T1 can be boiled. The T1 is made of very high quality materials and might have a slight flavor advantage assuming you can get vapor from it. Battery life, ease of use, quality of extraction, quantity of vapor, medicating effect, warm up time, etc all much better on the INH.
The T1 is not in the same class as the INH. I've posted on this in detail in my earlier reviews of the INH where I compare and contrast the INH, my old reference the solo and my T1 and Revolution.
Misc ramblings after catching up on the thread.
Not one of my friends so far can operate the T1 even after I tell them how. All of them have no issue operating the solo or the INH
and super glue has held my knob on for 2 months.
as others have said rubber bands help with knob. I like a hair band.
and my capsules have been used daily for 3 months now and all are still working fine.
I have not reported back in a long time in this thread
I have used the Inhalater for a solid month.
It got used for 2 out of the house jobs/chores/outings daily
I changed my capsule once, because I did not know how to treat it well... but this one has gone a few weeks.
I just gave the Inhalater a few days off, so I could get the feel of coming back to it.
I am sitting here right now vaping some Durban Poison (Devils Highway) in it.
This is a wonderful vape alright, and I have not had one issue with it since I got it from PlanetVape.
I am enjoying having this vape in my collection~
I see the xp is for preorder on planetvape, I am very intrested but curious about the black, in the one pic you posted of the stickered models the black one was shorter and had a silver strip on the knob. Do you have any full body pics of the inh004xp? Also had there been any improvments in the knob since the last batch? Thanks for you time, looking forward to xmas with this toy.
The XP will be 1/4 inch shorter than the present unit. All units on image were INH004 used for color appraisal. The black being a first generation unit with the aluminum knob was a little shorter.
The knob problem was transitory and is now resolve.
Wow better battery shorter unit. What more can I want. Oh yea and all the problems fixed. I am in Inhalater heaven.
I just got mine today and took it to a party tonight. So far I am really enjoying it. The clouds werent as thick as I had expected, but I'm not sure if that is a bad thing, I like thin vapor as long as I get medicated, and I would say I got medicated. Also the ABV is very impressive, I would say the best of all my vapes. The capsules get vaped a bit faster than I expected I keep getting them pretty dark.
It is actually a tad smaller than I expected
So far I am very happy
How long into a bowl does taste last? In other words, how many hits until the fresh taste/abv taste crossover?
just curious if you had the exact measurements of the XP?? i am trying to find a vape that fits a certain pouch and so far there is only one vape that fits it and as sad as i am to say it... it's not yours. Yours is close but maybe if the XP is wee bit smaller it may fit.
I'm thinking about getting the INH, and I might wait until the XP comes out. What's the avg load size for the INH?
around .2 - .3; you can fit .4 in there if you pack it real good.
How long would said load last? Some heavy hitters with big loads give me a similar session time to more efficient log vapes/the solo with smaller bowls. Does the INH last longer with the greater load?
The really great thing with the INH; is that it lasts as long as you want it too. Because the temperature control is so fine-grain on it; you have the ability to start really low and gradually work your way up (while still getting great clouds) or start a little higher and step up faster if you need a quicker session.
I've spent half an hour on the same load while still getting nice hits the whole time. For that I start at 3 or 4, and go up 1 every 5 minutes or so. The taste stays great longer that way too. But if I only have time for a quick session then I'll start on 6 and work up every couple of minutes.
The temp control makes this cartridge-style unit a definite winner.
So this way I could fill a cartridge, head out with it for general day to day stuff and take a couple hits every now and again, and I probably wouldn't need to refill until I get home?
Another question - can the INH004 be left on whilst not hitting it (like the solo, you can just pick it up and hit it and put it back down for however long you need whilst it stays on)?
Depending on your tolerance level; I think that would work. I don't tend to do this much, but when I do I make sure to keep hitting it once the heat is off to cool the unit so that it won't smell/heat ambiently. What might also interest you is prefilling one or two extra cartridges and carrying them with you till you need them. Inhalater has told us that they plan on having a convenient carrying case available for the cart's by Christmas. For now, I just use tiny slices of earplug or seran wrap to keep them sealed and a doob tube to carry.
You can leave it on without hitting it; but like the solo, there is a slight loss of vapor over time due to capillary action and the fact that hot air rises. I find that the overall loss is less than the solo; however, and much of the vapor produced by the conduction stays in the chamber, waiting for you. So while it's not a perfect situation, it is definatly something that you can do.
The INH sounds good to me! I have half an eye on the Cera but the temp control on the INH is favourable. I was a bit put off the large load at first but it sounds like an efficient device where I'm not getting less out of the large capacity then, say, three stems of the solo. I'm going to wait on the XP seeing as it's out so soon and go for that. Thanks CentiZen for the informative replies
For T1 to use it easy u need to pre-heat it for like 15-20 sec then u can suck as much as u want
You don't have to load the capsule if you don't want to and want to do a smaller session. I have dumped the solo stuff in a cap when the solo is done to ME. I get a bunch more hits and it fills less then a half of a cap if you want to compare. I use the stock stem in the solo.
Soooooo.... After rigorous tests this weekend (friends came by with PAX and INH in hand)...
there was a clear winner...
All three contenders were tried indoors, outdoors, through bubbler, through vapor lung and straight from the mouthpieces! The PAX left me with mixed feelings due to the taste spoiling fast, much smaller clouds than the other two and harder loading and unloading of the herbs. It was the most discreet of course and the coolest to hold in your hands! Not impressed overall...
The Solo was amazing as always but not so good for the road as expected. The Inhalater while it gave me a bad first taste as it wasn't ever properly cleaned, it came back roaring after the cleansing and would give me bigger clouds than the Solo, of better taste and it was just a joy to handle overall. Bigger clouds and taste were solely due to the bigger load. The extraction was on par with the Solo if not better... The more you sucked after the taste was pop-corny the darker it got. Just like the Solo.
So, the INH is a better Solo in my book and yes, I ordered it moments ago although the XP is almost ready to hit the shelves... Never mind that, the INH is already an amazing device that fulfils most of my vapor needs and when I hopefully get the XP the older one will serve as a back up or as a trial device for wannabe vaporist friends!
Can't wait to peel it's silver wrap!
Party! Scatter!
PS. direct links from pics don't work today???
How is your throat with the INH...did you add a long tube like I said? I knew you would like this. If you add the tube you won't need the lung.
No need for lung for personal use... a small bubbler works just fine. Direct hits too. My throat stopped being a problem since I started vaping like puffing a cigar. Not even the Solo at 7 or the PAX or the INH gave me any throat problems with this technique. It's great that the INH takes a bigger load. It's faster to medicate and you get a richer flavour and aroma... Loved it!!! Oh, and no tube needed, just the blue tips or without!

Effective this Friday, SpokeFest Association is accepting applications for its Bicycle Education and Safety Grant Fund, a very successful and inspiring program. Grants will be awarded to schools and 501(c)3 non-profit organizations that have a project which the organization can complete in a defined period of time. All projects must promote bicycle safety and education.
SR photo by Dan Pelle. That's Micah Reed, 10, and other Broadway Elementary School students testing out their bikes during the Central Valley School District's Elementary Bicycle Safety Program at Broadway, Aug. 30 2012. The school's PE teacher, Katie Ferris, secured a grant for $6,100 from SpokeFest to purchase the bikes.
The've supported some great programs with their grant funds since 2010. A few examples:
2010 – SpokeFest purchased 30 bikes and provided teacher training for the 4th through 6th grade physical education program for the East Valley School District.
2011-SpokeFest provided a grant to the East Kiwanis bicycle helmet giveaway (free) to all children in the area.
2012 –SpokeFest purchased 30 bikes and helmets for the Central Valley School District's 4th and 5th grade bicycle education program to benefit 13 elementary schools.

The Spokane Riverkeeper is making it known that his boat is looking for a home.
Here's what he had to say: The Spokane Riverkeeper raft (and trailer), inflatable kayak and canoe are soon to be homeless. Do you know of some downtown space that we could securely store our fleet? We have been storing it on Main St. for four years but because of some business shuffling, we need a new home. Whether just temporary for now or a permanent solution, we need to figure something out soon. Ideally the location would be relatively close to downtown, secure, covered, and accessible nearly 24/7. Do you or someone you know have extra space that you'd like to donate to a worthy cause? Please let us know if you have ideas or solutions. Email Riverkeeper Bart: firstname.lastname@example.com OR call 509.835.5211. Thanks!
Of course, Bart himself is sold seperately and well homed.
Let it also be known, I'm giving Spokane a one week challenge before I put it in Le Garage.
It's the only way to protect it from Mack Salmon and his evil plans to filet redband trout.
Please deliver Spokane.
It's time to get a little silly. This animated clip was brought to life by Flying Stone GbR, a company founded by Kyra Buschor, Constantin Paeplow and Philipp Wolf. It was produced for the 2013 Stuttgart Festival of Animated Film. That's about as much as I know…

Spokane County and its cities and towns have collaborated on a regional review of the Urban Growth Area. We're almost at the finish line when the stage is set for a public hearing tomorrow at 5:30 p.m. in the commissioners' assembly room in the lower level of the county Public Works Building, 1036 W. Broadway Ave.
First established in 2001, the Urban Growth Area is the area designated to accommodate projected urban growth. The hearing for the regional review is particularly significant since it will determine the Urban Growth Area's ability to accommodate growth and development for the next twenty years.
The discussion around projected growth will focus on the impacts to the natural environment and the services and facilities needed including transportation, police, fire, parks, schools, water and sewer.
I went an open house three years ago and I was astounded by the turnout: Mostly developers.
Spokane is in a crucial development stage. As Futurewise's Kitty Klitzke pointed out at the time of the meeting in 2009, "our county's Urban Growth Area (UGA) already covers over 89 square miles, this is over 2.5 times larger than the City of Paris, France. And Paris we ain't. Their population, at 2.2 million is almost 5 times the population of Spokane County."
In the last decade, 25 percent of county growth has occurred in rural spaces while enough land already existed in the urban growth area to accommodate their projections.
All the more reason to focus growth inward as our infrastructure strains due to unsustainable sprawl.
How long can men thrive between walls of brick, walking on asphalt pavements, breathing the fumes of coal and of oil, growing, working, dying, with hardly a thought of wind, and sky, and fields of grain, seeing only machine-made beauty, the mineral-like quality of life. Charles Lindbergh - "Aviation, Geography, and Race" Reader's Digest (November 1939)
February is the month of love and the Bicycle Alliance of Washington wants to share some of that bike love with you!
It's a simple: The Bike Love Party is an informal get-together for folks who like to bike on Friday from 5:30-7:30pm in the Community Building Lobby, 35 W Main Ave. This is your opportunity to hang out with other bicyclists, talk bikes, and look forward to spring. River City Red is providing the beer and they'll raffle off some great prizes donated by local bike shops: Two Wheel Transit, Wheel Sport East, North Division Bike Shop, and Pedals2People. (Full disclosure: I sit on the board for Pedals2People as president.)
It's almost time for Spring cleaning and the City of Spokane has got your back. They will resume curbside yard and food waste pickup on Monday, February 25th.
The optional City service runs from March through November. You can order a 96-gallon green yard waste cart that can be filled with all manner of yard waste—grass, leaves, pine needles, pine cones, weeds, vines, thatch, plant trimmings, small amounts of sod, and branches.

I go back with Bill Nye "The Science Guy." Even before he was rocking my childhood by teaching the impacts of combining vinegar and baking soda, he was part of the Seattle late night comedy ensemble "Almost Live" as one of "the high-fiving white guys" and "Speedwalker." In the latter, he miraculously saved the Kingdome from an explosion. If only.
Fast-forward twenty years and Bill Nye is out front on climate change, using his profile to raise awareness. In this clip called "Climate 101," he cuts through a lot of the noise and lays down the facts. Check it out.
Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill!
The City of Spokane Planning and Development Services Department will host two more public meetings to gather input from citizens on the 2012-2014 Comprehensive Plan Review and Update.
Each meeting will begin with a presentation on the background of the Comprehensive Plan and the update process, followed by an interactive survey and activity stations. The presentation will begin at 5:45 p.m. at each meeting.

On Sunday, NRDC and the Waterkeeper Alliance will join 350.org, the Sierra Club, and many other partners in holding the Forward on Climate Rally in Washington, D.C. This will be the largest climate rally in American history, with tens of thousands of people expected. From rejecting the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline to limiting carbon pollution from our nation's dirty power plants, President Barack Obama's legacy will rest squarely on his response, resolve, and leadership in solving the climate crisis.
It is striking how tar sands and the Keystone XL pipeline have brought people together around concern for our water and climate. In Canada, communities such as the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation and the Beaver Lake Cree are fighting to protect their health, waters, and lands from the leaking dams of toxic waste and the destruction of strip-mining for tar sands. In British Columbia, over 100 First Nations have taken a strong stand against tar sands pipelines crossing their land and waters. In Nebraska, ranchers such as Randy Thompson — who was arrested with me at a White House protest this week — are saying no to the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline. Water and climate walk hand in hand with threats as big as the dirty energy path of tar sands. A dirty energy future means trading our water for tar sands, and that is not a choice any of us want to make.
That was Robert Kennedy Jr from On Earth Magazine. Read the rest of his story HERE. Also, be sure to check out Spokane's own "Forward on Clmate Rally" this Sunday in Riverfront Park at 1pm.

I really don't understand the difference between pain and suffering from cancer verses the pain and suffering from arthritis or just simply a broken down tiered body from being a working stiff. Everybody is entitled to there own opinion. I honestly see a conflict of interest. I don't know how a person who does not have cancer will get the same protection under Sheriff Crabtree as a person prescribed medical marijuana for say chronic pain from tore up knees from being a rig slinger in the woods.
I also did not like how it was made fun of how these medical gardens are needing security. If government had not made marijuana what it is today, It would not be a topic of jokes at Kiwanis meetings. Like a gentlemen had stated in the paper a while back, "The problems from marijuana stem from it's illegality."

2011 NBA Draft: Boston Celtics set first draft workout
Most analysts expect the 2011 NBA Draft to have all the strength of a cotton swab, all the punch of a 95-year old woman, all the impact of a baseball bat that misses its target. Danny Ainge doesn't expect the Celtics to find a contributor with either of their two picks (25 and 55). Not that that will keep him from looking.
"I don't think there are a lot of franchise-changing players,'' Ainge told the Boston Globe. "But there are a lot of players, players that can help. That's harder to do when you have a team that's trying to win right now, like ours. A lot of players can go to non-playoff teams and contribute right away, or faster than they could on our team.''
When asked how many impact players would be drafted in June, Ainge did not mince words.
Since Kyrie Irving or Derrick Williams are unlikely to remain available late in the first round (read: they will almost definitely go 1-2), Ainge will need to unearth another diamond in the rough (think Glen Davis, Ryan Gomes and Leon Powe) to help the Celtics. The diamond mining begins June 1, when the Celtics will host their first workout.
The Celtics have already invited four players to the workout: Jamie Skeen (VCU), Jon Leuer (Wisconsin), Justin Harper (Richmond), and Matt Howard (Butler). Ainge expects to add more prospects to the list as June 1 grows closer.
Now, an introduction to the first four players.
Jamie Skeen (6'8, 240 lbs.)
2011 Stats: 15.7 ppg, 7.3 rpg, 51.8% FG
An inside-outside player who was largely unknown before VCU's unexpected run to the Final Four, Skeen impressed scouts in March. He jumped onto the scene by leading VCU to the Final Four, and by doing so with a polished, solid game. Skeen won't ever get invited to the NBA Dunk Contest, but he could potentially find a place in the NBA because of his versatile offensive game.
Skeen's biggest questions are his athleticism (a 30.5 inch vertical leap) and knee issues that limited production early in his career and likely kept him from blossoming before his breakout senior campaign. Nonetheless, he's the type of player Ainge has had success drafting in the second round—a successful collegiate player whose athleticism causes skepticism among NBA scouts. DraftExpress compared him to Dante Cunningham; Cunningham became a valuable asset this season off the bench, first in Portland and then in Charlotte.
Projected: Second round to undrafted
Draft Express Profile: Jamie Skeen
Jon Leuer (6'11, 223 lbs.)
2011 Stats: 18.3 ppg, 7.2 rpg, 37.0% 3pt
One of the most effective scorers in college basketball last season, Jon Leuer has a meat and potatoes type of game. There's little flashy about him, and he's definitely not one to assault the SportsCenter Top Ten. But he can score, he can shoot, and at 6'11, those are nice qualities to have.
Leuer showed the ability to put the ball on the floor at times in college, but his skill most likely to translate to the NBA is his shooting. Let me allow DraftExpress to take over:
The key to Leuer's ability to translate his game to the next level has been the continued development of his perimeter game. Leuer, who entered high school as a point guard before experiencing a dramatic growth spurt, has good ball handling ability for a big man. While he doesn't possess the first step or leaping ability to consistently create separation on drives, he's more than capable of using one or two dribbles to setup a pull-up jumper, and shows the ability to hit shots off the dribble, doing a good job of gathering himself and going straight up for the shot, showing good body control. He's also fairly fluid for someone of his size, moving well both with and without the ball.
More importantly, Leuer continues to extend his range out beyond the college three point line. After improving from 29.6% as a sophomore to 39.1% from three point range last season, Leuer has continued to build upon that part of his game. Now taking 4.6 three point attempts per game, he is converting at an extremely efficient 44.8% this season. Leuer wastes little motion on catch and shoots, and does a good job making a quick decision before the defense has time to recover. His ability to translate this part of his game is an absolute key in becoming a contributor at the next level.
Think Pat Garrity or Michael Doleac, and yes, I'm probably making those comparisons in part because they're both white. If you're looking for a cross-racial comparison, think Brian Cook.
Projected: Second round
Draft Express Profile: Jon Leuer
Matt Howard (6'8, 225)
2011 Stats: 16.4 ppg, 7.7 rpg, 39.8% 3pt
Because I fell in love with Howard and his Butler Bulldogs the past two NCAA Tournaments, it pains me to say that I see a very limited NBA career in Mr. Howard's future. Though he was a key part of NCAA basketball's Jim Kelly-era Buffalo Bills the past two seasons, precious few parts of Howard's game look ready to translate to the NBA.
At Butler, Howard played mostly in the post. Against most college competition, Howard could get away with being undersized. His scrappy play and crafty moves allowed him to score even against the long arms of better athletes. But when matched against the NCAA's premier defensive talent, Howard struggled. His 1-13 performance against UConn in the NCAA championship game was a prime example. Howard just wasn't explosive enough nor tall enough nor strong enough to get his shot off with any success.
Though he does possess a nice three-point shot, Howard lacks both the size to play power forward in the NBA (imagine him guarding Amare Stoudemire or Kevin Garnett, or even Glen Davis) and the quickness to play the perimeter (good luck guarding Lebron, Mr. Howard! Or even Ronnie Brewer.) He would almost definitely be a defensive liability at the next level, and with offensive skills that seem unlikely to translate, seems more destined for a European career than an NBA one.
Even if his old (err, extremely young) coach thinks otherwise. (ESPN)
"Matt Howard will be an NBA player," says Butler's bespectacled coach, Brad Stevens. "His team would be winning wherever he went. That's who he is. He makes teams better. He's a winner. Whenever I have to answer questions about what's his real height, how long is he, [I just say], 'He wins. He just wins.'"
Projected: Undrafted
Draft Express Profile: Matt Howard
Justin Harper (6'9, 230)
2011 Stats: 17.9 ppg, 6.9 rpg
Since I have never watched Harper play basketball (not even when he played against my beloved UMass Minutemen, who, by the way, suck), I'll leave it to Draft Express:
Harper's dramatic improvement goes far beyond standard production. The senior has developed into one of the most efficient scorers in the country, ranking in the 98th percentile in the NCAA in scoring efficiency according to Synergy Sports Technology. With over 46% of his field goal attempts being categorized as jumpers, the Richmond star has posted marks of 59% shooting from 2-point range and 47% from beyond the arc, percentages that rank him among the likes of Jon Diebler and Derrick Williamsas one of the most efficient players in college basketball.
Those closest to the program – including head coach Chris Mooney – certainly consider the Richmond senior to be among the countries top marksmen, but he has managed to separate himself from the pack due to his physical advantages.
"The biggest difference with Justin is he's doing all of this at 6-10," Mooney says. "It's incredible that he has the kind of range and touch that he does at that size, in addition to all the other things he can do. He's clearly one of the best shooters in the country, and again, it's so unique given his size."
And that's where the tremendous intrigue of Harper's game comes into focus. While the practice of evaluating international prospects with size and skill is an annual practice among NBA scouts, rare is the American college player that presents this kind of package at the high level that the Richmond senior does. While he certainly isn't on the same level as Kevin Durant, it's easy to make the argument that no college player has so closely resembled the current NBA star since he left the University of Texas four years ago.
Harper has shown off an advanced skill set throughout the season, but may have only scratched the surface of what he is capable of from a skills perspective, meaning he could further impress when it comes time for individual workouts.
"When I get to those individual workouts people are going to see that I'm not just a spot-up shooter, but I can score pretty effectively with my back to the basket as well," Harper says.
Projected: Second Round
Draft Express Profile: Justin Harper

Saw a couple of Skeen's games in the tournament and he upped his game pretty impressively, especially vs Kansas and Butler. Good outside shot (3s) and rebounded pretty good. That tells you he can play big time ball especially vs the better and bigger teams. Guy from Wisconsin is pretty good but the last guy intrigues the most. Thanks Jay. Go Cs…

Welcome to our Thanksgiving Giveaway!
In honor of the upcoming holiday season, we will be giving away 24 tubs of our newest product, 1 full tub daily for the rest of Nov, and all we ask is that you post up a review if chosen. Sound interesting? Curious about our newest product? Read on!
SAN i-BCAA MAX is available now in the bb.com store!PEAK ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE FACTOR #1 - ALKALINE BUFFERING NEGATIVE IONS - MEET PHMODX
Okay you've heard about alkalizing but what does it mean to an athlete like you? Well, think about this—what is it that every athlete needs? Energy... Yes. Power... Yes again. Speed... Absolutely! Plus, you need a host of additional, critical skills.
None of these skills can occur optimally when the body is acidic. Why? An acidy body environment results in muscle fatigue. The muscles ability to utilize oxygen—flat out—trips and falls! In fact an acidic environment can cut into your body's capacity to train and perform exercise.
The human body is designed to maintain a very delicate pH balance in its fluids, tissues and systems. Take a look at elite athletes. Every biochemical reaction in their body is functioning at a high level. Their blood plasma and delicate fluid that surrounds the cells––are performing well and highly tuned and healthy. This takes place when the delicate acid-alkaline balance is upheld ––it's a delicate range of 7.35 to 7.45 – which is also known as PH Neutral.
But wait. Trouble sets in. Stress, over training and the pressures of life mount up. You miss a meal, succumb to cravings, the job, the kids, traffic and you name it. Life happens and it triggers to a gradual acid burden on the body. It's like trying to run in quick sand––the acidic pH of the body fluids start pulling you down and your system can't keep up. You can see this taking place even with elite athletes in almost every sport, haven't you?
So what's the good news? Glad you asked. The body has a self-adjusting pH 'thermostat' that protects us… it's like wearing…
In fact, bicarbonate is one of the most effective acid buffers an athlete can use. Buffers are substances which are capable of stabilizing pH in the blood, body fluids and tissues. I-BCAA-MAX contains Chelated: calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium to stop acidity in its tracks…
Emerging research uncovered by SAN Researchers shows that enhanced athletic performance can be achieved with these buffers because warding off acidic build up, enhances your muscle's ability to use oxygen and thus improving your training capacity.
The benefits of these buffers, known by its proprietary process called pHMODX, are currently only found in I-BCAA-MAX and which are most obvious in heavy anaerobic workouts like, strength training, Crossfit, MMA, sprinting, football, basketball and other endurance sports.
In fact, it took SAN scientists countless hours to work out something no company has been able to duplicate…. EVER. They maintained and stabilized negative Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) of post workout BCAAs coupled with MGG and key elemental cofactors to assure maximum cellular hydration and amino acid uptake.
That brings us to the next factor…
PEAK ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE FACTOR #2 - mTOR ACTIVATION (THE ANABOLIC TRIGGER)
Sounds like something out of a Cyborg movies, doesn't it? I-BCAA-MAX is fueled with pH controlled instantized BCAA's — formulated at a precise 4:1:1 ratio of the amino acids Leucine, Valine and Isoleucine for maximum pre and post training mTOR activation as well as to fully harness the benefits of the "anabolic window" in post training.
BCAAs are tied to muscle protein synthesis—especially leucine. Recent studies show that the post workout BCAA's play the primary role in boosting muscle protein synthesis––otherwise known as anabolism. So post workout BCAAs- especially Leucine is in fact considered, anabolic.
Okay… let's talk about this mTOR activation. mTOR Activation, plays a pivotal role in muscle protein synthesis and flips the switch that ultimately generates muscle growth. This occurs when athletes take a dose of I-BCAA-MAX during and after a workout.
These two factors alone make I-BCAA-MAX by SAN stand out. But just being a little more than the marketplace standard wouldn't hold muster with SAN's reputation as the company athletes turn to for outstanding results.
SAN included a healthy dose of MGG (Magnesium Glycyl Glutamine Chelate) in I-BCAA-MAX. This new Glutamine compound was designed for maximum Glutamine and Magnesium absorption. MGG research conducted on endurance athletes showed reduced lactic acid build up–– thus enhancing workout capacity and reducing DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness). L-Glutamine in its free form is also well documented to support immunity via the intestinal lumen.
Rounding out the formula, I-BCAA-MAX is fortified with patented Zinc for supporting natural testosterone production. Plus, there's Calcium and Manganese Chelates (TRAACS®) for bone & ligament support. The pharmaceutical-grade amino acid chelates used in I-BCAA-MAX provide complete organic mineral nutrition, giving you greater absorption of the minerals and the best biological advantage. SAN's custom I-BCAA-MAX formulation is instantized meaning, it instantly dissolves in water leaving no grit or unsightly particles.
Each week we will pose a question, and every day we will choose the winner of a full tub of i-BCAA MAX based on their answer. This weeks question is:

Forget fresh air! There's no better way to celebrate Memorial Day Weekend than logging some serious quality-viewing time on the sofa watching endless hours of TV. But what to watch? Check out a selection of the many holiday-weekend marathons the networks have planned:
Today, TV showed me how completely amazing the Earth is. And when I say amazing, I mean it in more than one way. Earlier this morning, as I searched for something to help wake me up during my Sunday laziness, I sat through an hour of WE's loud, obnoxious and eye-rolling series Bridezillas. Now, I know this show isn't new, and I've caught a few wedding-day freak-outs here and there, but never have I been so entranced by the monster that is Bridezilla. In this particular episode, the engaged and enraged wife-to-be wanted so badly to be a celebrity that she turned her nuptials into a red-carpet affair. But I'm not going to harp on the style choices she made, because that really has nothing to do with why I couldn't change the channel.

There is a lot of confusion and concern over the growing practice of reviewing job candidates' social media activity during recruitment and selection. Targeted to social recruiting rookies (both individuals and employers), the latest SMinOrgs blog post provides an overview of how people's digital activity can and should be considered during the hiring process. Questions and comments, especially from recruiting practitioners, are welcome. Here's a link:
This post was inspired by the feedback I received on my previous post entitled "Social Screening of Job Candidates: Focusing on the Facts," especially from Mark Hammer in GovLoop.
Views: 13
Dear Dr. Hunt,
Your contribution to the subject of Social Media, as it relates to recruitment, is impressive and worth a reread because of its depth and insight.
Whether employers, employees and "other individuals" (nice catch-all) take heed and follow your advice--which of course a healthy percentage will not--some will benefit from it.
Thanks so much for your positive feedback, Valentino. I'm glad you found the post valuable. Educating people is an important first step to making sure they do the right things. In other words, if they don't know the difference between right and wrong, how can we expect them to behave appropriately? You're right that many people will continue to do the wrong things, but I don't like to see people make innocent mistakes due to ignorance.

Keystone pipeline decision to languish until mid-June-US source
* State Dept needs to take series of steps
* Environmental review due any day
* No time frame for national interest determination
By Timothy Gardner
WASHINGTON, Jan 31 (Reuters) – The Obama administration's decision on the Keystone XL oil pipeline will not be made until at least June, a U.S. official said, which would delay the project for months and frustrate backers of Canada's oil sands.
"We're talking the beginning of summer at the earliest," said the source, who did not want to be identified due to the sensitive nature of the TransCanada Corp project, which has been pending for more than four and a half years. "It's not weeks until the final decision. It's months."
A series of steps still have to be taken by the State Department, where the decision will be made because the 830,000 barrels per day crude oil pipeline crosses the national border. The pipeline will link Alberta's oil sands and North Dakota's Bakken shale fields to refineries and ports in Texas.
The State Department did not comment for this story, but last week a spokeswoman said it did not anticipate making the decision before the end of March. Previously, the department had hinted the decision could come in the middle of the first quarter.
The administration may be delaying because the pipeline has become a symbol for both opponents and supporters of development of Canada's vast oil sands.

Its not like it cost a single government official anything extra if there is a delay with the pipeline. They are more concern over losing the EcoRadical vote than they are about doing what is best for the rest of the nation.+5
They are trying to get us by the short-hairs, again. Gas prices are going back up, and they dangle the Keystone pipeline in front of us like a piece of meat, waiting for us to beg for it. It's all in the plan. The lousy (explitive deleted).+3
It doesn't matter to them. They have their 6 figure salaries and perks with the lifetime pension plum.
If they have any children (their liberals), they are either short-sighted or just don't care much for them.+1
They've decided not to make a decision, once again.0

Movies: The Jenny Hendrix Anal Experience
Manuel Ferrara's recent releases have been praised for a little appreciated aspect of porn - a story. In Evilution, for example, Naomi plays a stuck up housewife transformed into a slut competing for her husband's cock against Annette Schwartz whom she catches him fucking. In The Jenny Hendrix Anal Experience, Director and Performer Ferrara takes the tension in a new porn girl's unfucked asshole and makes it the center of the dramatic tension. Some titles will feature a "first anal" and this has even been a theme in Story of O by an anonymous French author in which a girlfriend proves her love by submitting to - among other things - a first anal fucking. Ferrara updates the theme in a title which also makes allusion to the experience of a certain, super-talented guitar player from the era of psychadelic Rock N' Roll in the 1960s.

Romney's Etch a Sketch foreign policy
During last night's foreign policy debate, the Mitt Romney of the Republican primaries disappeared. Romney's April criticism of Obama's decision to commit the United States military to helping oust Muammar Qaddafi in Libya disappeared. Missing was a promise on his website to reduce foreign aid by $100 million. Romney's past criticism of what he called Obama's rushed exit from Afghanistan vanished as well.
Given his lurch to the center on domestic policy, that comes as no surprise. But it does not make Romney's record – or his willingness to change positions – a nonissue. If Romney wins this election, it will be arguably the latest and greatest shift to the center in presidential campaign history.
Last night the new Romney praised Obama's toppling of Qaddafi, said he supported the president's policy in Afghanistan and agreed that the administration's economic sanctions on Iran were "crippling."
After the debate instant polls, most pundits and even a dozen undecided voters on Fox News said Obama had won on substance. But there was a chorus of commentary arguing that Romney's flat performance was smart politics.
An analyst on CNN pointed out that Romney's call for a larger Navy would play well in Virginia, home to the country's largest naval base. The chairman of the Republican National Committee said each minute Romney appeared on national television and did not appear to be a heartless corporate mogul was a victory. Other Romney supporters said Romney had succeeded at not looking like a "warmonger" or "another George W. Bush," a performance that might appeal to female voters.
Still, if Mitt Romney wins this election, he will do so with a foreign policy blank slate, not a clear vision for the future.
To be fair, Romney was right in places. When asked about whether the U.S. should "divorce" Pakistan, he counseled patience and correctly said it was in the interests of the United States to try to help stabilize a troubled, nuclear-armed country. And he largely endorsed Obama's plan to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan in 2014. Yet all those positions were far more moderate than the ones Romney adopted in the Republican primaries.
In many ways, the final debate was a reversal of the first one. Romney was the confident front-runner trying to project calm and strength, while Obama was the attacker, questioning – and at times distorting – Romney's record.
The former Massachusetts governor was bold and aggressive on four issues. He accused Obama of not sufficiently supporting Israel, falsely claimed that Obama engaged in an "apology tour" in the Middle East, said the result of the Arab Spring was a "rising tide" of "tumult" and "confusion" and vowed to declare China a currency manipulator on "day one" of his presidency.
Taken together, these seem less like a coherent foreign policy than a formula for Romney's electoral victory.
Of course, all politics is part theater; Obama showed that four years ago. Presidential candidates have been judged on debating style, not merit, for decades.
There are enormous holes in the president's foreign policy record. He glossed over his failure to deliver on promised assistance to post-Arab Spring countries, lack of action in Syria, a largely failed Obama policy in Afghanistan and Pakistan; and his overreliance on drones.
Romney attacked Obama on some of these issues, but his passion flared where the electoral calculus called for it, such as China's cheating or loyalty to Israel. Romney also used exaggerated descriptions of instability in the Middle East to pose the foreign policy version of Ronald Reagan's "are you better off than you were four years ago" question.
It was an uninspiring final debate of an uninspiring campaign. Obama's overconfidence cost him the first debate, and possibly cost him the election. The two clashed tenaciously in the second debate but avoided specifics or outlining their own domestic agendas. And the final debate seemed more about politics than strategy.
In the end, it is Romney's approach – not his performance – that most troubles. After what should have been a pivotal 90 minutes, I know less about Romney's foreign policy vision than I did beforehand. I only know his electoral calculus.
