The confrontations between police and demonstrators at the Stonewall Inn in New York City the weekend of June 27-29, 1969 mark the beginning of the modern glbtq movement for equal rights.
Formed soon after the Stonewall Riots of 1969, the short-lived but influential Gay Liberation Front brought a new militancy to the movement that became known as gay liberation.
The sexual revolution of post-World War II America changed sexual and gender roles profoundly.
"Leather" is a blanket term for a large array of sexual preferences, identities, relationship structures, and social organizations loosely tied together by the thread of what is conventionally understood as sadomasochistic sex.
Although best known for her crusade for women's suffrage, Susan B. Anthony spoke out on a range of feminist issues.
With reports from hundreds of sub-Saharan African locales of male-male sexual relations and from about fifty of female-female sexual relations, it is clear that same-sex sexual relations existed in traditional African societies, though varying in forms and in the degree of public acceptance
Androgyny, a psychological blending of gender traits, has long been embraced by strong women, soft men, members of queer communities, and others who do not easily fit into traditionally defined gender categories.
A cultural crossroads between Asia and Europe, Russia has a long, rich, and often violent heritage of varied influences and stark confrontations in regard to its patterns of same-sex love.
The death of acclaimed Canadian artist Steve Walker was announced on February 10, 2012 by James Lyman of the Lyman-Eyer Gallery in Provincetown. He died unexpectedly at his home in Costa Rica on January 4, 2012. He is survived by his mother and father and brother and sister. A funeral service is scheduled for February 25 in Ottawa, where he was born. A memorial service will be held later in Toronto, where he lived for many years.
Walker is responsible for some of the most famous images of gay male couples in contemporary popular culture. Executed in a photo realist style, his paintings of handsome men in emotionally charged situations owe something to the influence of Paul Cadmus, but the self-taught artist imbued them with his own distinctive romantic and often melancholy sensibility.
He described his work, which focuses almost exclusively on men together, as "a documentation, an interpretation, a crystallization of singular moments rendered in line, color, light, shadow, using a hundred brushes, a thousand colors, and a million brushstrokes. I strive to make people stop, if only a moment, think and actually feel something. My paintings contain as many questions as answers."
On his website, Steve Walker Artist, which contains a gallery of his images, he writes that "It simply never occurred to me to paint about themes in any other context than that of my own life as a person who happens to be gay. I had never had a problem relating to work created by heterosexuals in a heterosexual context. Why should I create paintings whose context was anything other than the truth of my life as a gay man?"
He also wrote, "I hope that in its silence, the body of my work has given a voice to my life, the lives of others, and in doing so, the dignity of all people."
Walker's images are highlighted in the four very different videos below.

Best Veg Restaurant in NYCPosted on 04 / 28 / 2015
I have lived in New York City since grad school and this is hands down my FAVORITE vegetarian restaurant in NYC. My husband and I first visited Red Bamboo on the recommendation of a vegan colleague and were blown away by the delicious cuisine, extensive menu and beautiful ambiance. The restaurant is small and there is usually a wait, though both are a testament to its extraordinary food. Red Bamboo specializes in vegan soul food and has an extensive selection of mock meats and seafood. Standouts include the Cajun fried shrimp, crab rangoon,barbecue buffalo wings, seafood tempura, Southern fried chicken and Philly cheese steak. Once you eat here you will return again and again and spread the gospel of Red Bamboo to your family and friends.

MSI is to offer new netbooks: the Wind U110, U115 and U120. The U120 is much the same as the original U100, but with 3G built-in. It's the other two that do clever things with the standard netbook loadout, though all remain stuck with a 600-line display. Here's a bullet list: • Options for 2GB of RAM. • The Z530, a more expensive version of Intel's Atom CPU, which uses 20% less power. • A new chipset that uses less power. • 6-cell battery as standard. • Hybrid flash/spinning storage, also said to use less power. The holy grail is to get a full day of work off a single charge. It's driven netbook makers to offer long-life batteries, and Acer's Aspire One rules at Amazon thanks to the inclusion, at no extra cost, of the 6-cell upgrade. In the case of Samsung's NC10, almost 7 hours can be squeezed by keeping the display dim. even with WiFi on. MSI's response line-items every part to stay ahead of the game, and UMPC Portal outlines where the compromise might be: New MSI Netbooks; Not Your Standard Cookie-Cutter Specs. Update: I just double-checked the sales ranks, and it turns out Asus' Eee 900HA has dethroned the Aspire One. It's understandable – the 900HA has gotten excellent word of mouth. But look who's storming up the chart, despite its relatively high price.

Thats $249 at NewEgg which is a great price. I can't get free/cheap shipping cuz I'm in HI so my total cost would be $275
BUT I ended buying this one:
ASUS Eee PC 901 8.9-Inch Netbook (1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 12 GB Solid State Drive, XP Home, 6 Cell Battery) Pearl White
It was $349 before shipping, $375 after
It was a real tough choice for me, but I chose the 901 because that extra $100 bought me:
* 512mb Ram increase (512 to 1g)
* 4gb SSD increase (8gb to 12gb)
* 3 Cell Battery increase (3cell to 6cell)
* Windows XP
That felt like a lot of extras for the $$$
I'm sporting an OLPC right now and want to see how much better, if any, the 901 is (I suspect it will be) – Although I am dual-booting sugar/ubuntu on it and have it overclocked.
I see the EEE 900HA is a lot cheaper than my 901 (especially with free Amazon shipping)
Did I make a bad choice?
I really wanted a SSD and don't need more than 8gb, but it looks like I could have saved a lot by going with the larger HDD on the 900HA
Other than HD is there another reason to choose the 901 over the 900HA or vice-versa?
Some report that the 901's SSD isn't the fastest, but if isn't noticeable (as it is with the 900A at Best Buy) it's not a problem.
The reason I haven't gotten a 900HA myself if the lack of 6-cell batteries for that model. No-one is making them yet. So I'm likely to get a 901 myself — just like yours — if nothing else appears before Christmas. I'm fond of the Eees slightly smaller form, compared to the rest of the "good" netbooks.
Damn – I just bought an MSI wind for my son's Christmas present.
Of course, the $300 deal at newegg wouldn't have applied to a brand new model anyways.
Once the new wears off his, I'll have to borrow it for a day and see if I can comfortably type on it for any extended period of time. If I can, then I'll likely wind up with one of the newer models.
He'll he delighted with the Wind as-is — it's still a great machine, and these new Winds will not be $300! Chippy reckons they could be as much as $700.
Yes, I'm sure he will be delighted – almost as delighted as I'll be to have the opportunity to remind him frequently to take care not to break [his] wind.
And if the new ones are going to be $700, you can count me out. For that money I could buy a $300 netbook and a PS3.
The only salient question is whether the new MSI Wind U120 runs a hackintosh OSx86 as well or better than the previous Wind model did — particularly if the modem menuicon works with the built-in 3G data. (Not to mention working audio out on the 3.5mm port.)

Aurora hostel is recomendable. It is organized and, most importantly, it is clean. The staff is helpfull and kind. It is Totally affordable and, big plus, plenty of places to get good food in the neighbourhood!
Very comfortable bed and super clean room and shared bathroom. The staff were also very helpful with info on how to get from place to place. The hostel is well located with many good eating places nearby. Good value.
I've stayed in this hostel twice, most recently back in July. It had been five years since my previous visit and I was pleased to see that the standard had not slipped over the years.

Aurora hostel was the perfect place to set up camp for a weekend away in Berlin with a friend/partner. The staff are great, the Hostel is in a great location - really close to Eberswalder Strasse U-Bahnhof and also Konnopkes Currywurst stand.... Which is a must. I really enjoyed my stay. So much so I've booked to go again next...
The hostel was very attentive (access and reception) and supportive (finding a nice restaurant). Both the room and the bathroom were well cleaned.No noise disturbance during the night.
The area is nice with lots of restaurants and coffee shops and acces to Berlin centre quick and easy.
Not much to say that hasn't already been said.

The hostel is situated in quite a fashionable part of East Berlin, and not too far away from the centre. Public transport is about 5-7 minutes walk away.

Review collected in partnership with BudgetPlaces
Very clean, calm and pleasant hostel in a lovely neighborhood. Bathrooms were clean, sheets and towels were crispy white. The staff were helpful and friendly. We needed to visit a doctor during our stay and would have been lost with where to go without their help! I would imagine this to be a nice place to stay with children.

So Todd Snider wrote a book...
by Kitty Dunn
posted May 29 2014 12:45PM
...and it's HILARIOUS.
Actually, Todd uses the word "hilarious" in the book a lot. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
You may remember Todd Snider as an "Alright Guy" who sand some pretty funny songs back in the 90s, and more recently had some success with a song called "Beer Run."
I've had a chance to see him a number of times and even chat with him for a little while. So that comes to play in my review of his book
I Never Met a Story I Didn't Like: Mostly True Tall Tales.
This is the first time I've read a memoir by anyone that I've actually met and had a conversation with, so that added an extra layer to the reading experience. As I read it, it seemed more like Todd was just telling me stories.
It focuses a lot on the rock n roll lifestyle, the cool singers he met and what he learned from them (Jimmy Buffett, John Prine, Jerry Jeff Walker and Kris Kristofferson were biggies). If you've ever seen Todd Snider in concert and enjoyed his rapport with the crowd, you'll like this book. It helps if you're familiar with his music as well. If I had one complaint, it would be that he talks a little too much about how much he loves doing drugs.
I was a little sad he didn't mention me in the book. You'd think hanging out with a random girl in an Oasis shirt in a radio station lobby for half an hour would be one of his more memorable anecdotes! He stopped by the station to record a Live From Studio M performance, and was early because he didn't know what time zone he was in. So I kept him company while we waited for the hostess to show up. Later that night I watched him play at the Paramount Music Hall on Park Street (now some sort of parking ramp).
After the show, I had him sign this Ritz Cracker box because I couldn't find a poster and forgot to bring the CD.
I really should get this framed.

5 Things You Didn't Know about Maya Angelou
by Kitty Dunn
posted May 28 2014 10:36AM
Tributes are coming in from all over the world for poet Maya Angelou, who has died at age 86. If you've heard of her, you know she wrote many books, including "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings." You probably know she read a poem at President Clinton's first inauguration, and may even know that she was good friends with Oprah Winfrey.
Here are a few more tidbits to add to the Maya Angelou file in your brain.
1. At age 14, she became San Francisco's first female African American cable car conductor.
2. Maya Angelou studied modern dance with Martha Graham, and danced with Alvin Ailey on TV variety shows.
3. She spoke English, French, Spanish, Arabic and the west African language, Fanti.
4. She appeared in the iconic TV mini-series roots in 1977, playing one of the midwives who helped with the birth of Kunta Kinte in Africa.
5. She didn't take herself too seriously. Here she is hanging out with some muppets on Sesame Street!

World's Worst iPod: Mocedades "Eres Tu"
by Kitty Dunn
posted May 28 2014 9:20AM
The pop chart included a little Spanish spice back in 1974, when Mocedades had a hit with the song "Eres Tu."
It was a hit worldwide, and made it to #9 in los Estados Unidos.
I always loved this song because I was so proud of myself when I was able to translate it without looking up any words in an English Spanish dictionary.!
The B-side was the song in English. The lyrics are not a word for word translation. I remember enough of my 8 1/2 years of Spanish to recognize that!

5 Great Dylan covers, and one really really bad one
by Kitty Dunn
posted May 22 2014 9:28AM
I'm getting in early with a birthday wish for Bob Dylan, who turns 73 on Saturday.
In honor of the "Poet Laureate of Our Generation," I decided to share my list of top 5 Dylan covers, and one that is so bad it's almost good.
Let's listen to the good ones first, shall we?
1. George Harrison "If Not for You." Included on George's 3-album set "All Things Must Pass," George really made this song his own.
2. Them (Featuring Van Morrison). Van doesn't do a lot of covers, but he covered the hell out of this one. Pure Garage!
3. Edie Brickell "A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall." Remember this one from the movie
Born on the Fourth of July
4. Byrds "You Aint Goin' Nowhere" (Added bonus--the enthusiastic dancers in this video)
5. Jimi Hendrix "All Along the Watchtower." The definitive Dylan cover.
And now, the WORST Dylan cover (in my opinion).
The Wonder Who "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right." Yeah, that's Franki Valli and the Four Seasons. The arrangement is HILARIOUS. Oh, and I apologize in advance if this gets stuck in your head!

World's Worst iPod: Was (Not Was) Walk the Dinosaur
by World's Worst iPod
posted May 21 2014 10:10AM
Weren't the 80s silly?
I don't think anyone would say that Walk the Dinosaur is a great song, but it does convey a sense of happiness that you can only get from that decade's radio classics.
This song went to #7 in 1987, and it seems everybody wanted to hear it this morning. So okay--do the dinosaur. We won't tell anyone.

Amazing supercell looks like....
by Kitty Dunn
posted May 20 2014 11:16AM
A lot of people are sharing a video shot by some stormchasers in Wyoming.
It's almost otherworldly! I would certainly be heading to the basement if I saw something like that. Luckily, this storm stayed up in the sky where it belonged and didn't cause any damage. Whew.
When I saw this video being shared on facebook, the first thing that came to my mind was that the big supercell looked like a giant gray baking powder biscuit. Am I alone on this one?
Actually, it's probably time for me to go get some lunch.

30 Years of Cheatin' and Drinkin'
by Kitty Dunn
posted May 15 2014 9:55AM
When I moved to Madison in 1989, the Rousers were one of the first bands I saw, and I immediately fell in love with them!
This Saturday they are celebrating their 30th year as a band with what I'm sure will be a wild night at the Barrymore Theatre, my favorite Madison music venue.
I've never seen the Rousers at the Barrymore--so I'm really looking forward to it. I've seen them too many times to count--at the Crystal Corner Bar (where I saw them first), Luther's Blues, the Majestic Theatre, Witz End in Stevens Point, and at countless festivals. I remember one Willy Street Fair when they were doing their set and a train blew by on the tracks right behind them. They immediately broke into "Runaway Train." Epic!
The musicians are all great---Frank is a crazy wild frontman, and the choice of songs (covers and originals) keeps your toes a tapping (hell, you might even get up and dance!)
And for some reason, beer tastes better when you're watching the Rousers.
Hope to see you Saturday night at the Barrymore! (

World's Worst iPod: Franki Valli "My Eyes Adored You"
by World's Worst iPod
posted May 14 2014 10:09AM
Franki Valli and the 4 Seasons originally recorded "My Eyes Adored You," but the record company wouldn't release it. So that smartypants with the high voice got the rights to the song and recorded a solo version.
It went all the way to number 1 in 1975.
It was way too easy listening for Kitty back in the day, but of course Jonathan loved it. He even had the 45. Hey, don't judge.

Million Dollar Quartet: Educates a Little, Entertains a LOT
by Kitty Dunn
posted May 14 2014 9:23AM
If you're familiar with the legendary photograph of music icons Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis, taken at Sun Studios, you might know that the jam they had when the got together one night in 1956 was less than legendary.
They collaborated on some gospel songs, and the quality was not quite up to par. That's what fans found out when the recordings were eventually released.
But the musical,
The Million Dollar Quartet
, playing at Overture Center in Madison, imagines what COULD have happened on that winter night in Memphis. You get to see a little of the personalities of each, with the wild "Killer" Jerry Lee Lewis stealing the show with his over-the-top egomania. If you know anything about his eventual downfall, the lines are even funnier.
All four actors are extremely proficient musicians and singers, doing those four great performers justice. (Which is not an easy task, mind you.) And the background guys playing bass weren't too shabby either. Nor was the unnamed female singer that just shows up and sings a few numbers.
But it's Sam Phillips, the owner of Sun Studios, who is the glue that holds the production together.
I don't want to give too much away--but if you're a fan of early rock and roll, you'll love this show.
It runs through Sunday at Overture Center.

Another "shocking" kiss
by Kitty Dunn
posted May 12 2014 10:07AM
Some people were pretty shocked about what happened after Michael Sam found out he had been picked by the St. Louis Rams over the weekend. That makes him the first openly gay man to be drafted by the NFL. So what happened?
Michael Sam kissed his boyfriend...on national TV! Gasp!
Some idiots got on twitter to express their disgust of course. But I'm thinking someday (hopefully soon), a story like this would be no big deal.
Now this morning as I was reading that story on the air, I thought about another TV kiss that caused a stir. Who else remembers this one?

Has Jack White lost his gourd?
by Kitty Dunn
posted May 8 2014 10:40AM
If you don't already have a turntable, you might want to get one, so you can experience Jack White's new album in all its glory.
It's called "Lazaretto" and it comes out June 10th, and it may be the wildest, trippiest album ever..and I'm not even talking about the music.
Let's start with the fact that a lazaretto is a very obscure obsolete word meaning a building, room, or part of a ship where you put people with serious diseases.
Okay, that's weird, but not necessarily crazy.
But listen to what you get with the Ultra release of the album on vinyl.
There are two hidden tracks, hidden beneath the album's label, one on either side of the record. One plays at 45 rpm, and the other at 78rpm. And you don't have to take the label off to hear the music.
The album also features locked grooves, and on the start of side B, the song begins with either an acoustic or electric intro, depending on where you drop the needle.
There's a visual element as well. When you look at side A from a certain angle, you will see a hologram of a spinning angel.
All of that sounds crazy cool to me. And I'm betting the music will sound pretty amazing as well.
Find out more about it in Jack White's teaser video.

Kitty's Garage Sale Pet Peeves
by Kitty Dunn
posted May 1 2014 10:44AM
Garage sale season is upon once again, and I'm hoping THIS is the year that I find the most amazing bargains ever. But before I embark on my quest, I've got a few things to get off my chest.
Here's a list of my most annoying GARAGE SALE PET PEEVES:
1. Ghost sales
. My niece Heidi came up with this phrase. What's a ghost sale, you ask? This is what you get when you follow yard sale signs to a house with no garage sale. Presumably, the sale happened last week, or last month, and no one bothered to take down the signs. I think people who do this should just let us in their house so we can buy whatever suits our fancy. For a quarter.
2. People who don't put prices on their items
. At so many sales, folks are too lazy to price stuff. This forces you to ask, "How much is this?" Then they'll most likely say, "I don't know, what do you want to give me?" That creates such an awkward scenario that I usually just leave. Next time I come across this situation, I think I'm just going to offer a nickel, no matter what it is.
3. People who exaggerate how awesome their sale is
. If the ad says HUGE sale, everything must go, it is probably just a rack or two of clothes and some old VHS tapes. Also, the greatness of the sale is usually in converse to the creativity of the sign.
4. People who just throw all their stuff on a tarp on the ground
and expect you to rummage through it. If I wanted to do that, I'd go to Dig n Save on Park Street.
5. People who confuse their garage sale with the Antiques Road Show.
I'm pretty sure that Nitty Gritty birthday mug was not made by Tiffany.

An improved method for making aluminum connections to platinum electrodes is described. The method utilizes an oxide layer to isolate the aluminum from the platinum. The oxide layer is created by ashing the surface of the platinum using an Oxygen plasma.
1. A method for making an aluminum connection to a platinum electrode comprising the steps of:
oxidizing the surface of said platinum electrode; and
depositing aluminum on said oxidized surface.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein said oxidizing step comprises exposing said surface of said Platinum electrode to an Oxygen plasma.
The present invention relates to semiconductor manufacturing techniques, and more particularly, to an improved method for making aluminum connections to platinum electrodes in semiconductor devices and the like.
There are a number of situations in which aluminum metalization used for signal and power conductors in semiconductors devices must be applied to a platinum electrode. For example, ferroelectric capacitors for use in semiconductor devices typically comprise a ferroelectric material sandwiched between two electrodes. It is advantageous to use platinum for the electrodes. The signal connections in many semiconductor devices are constructed by depositing aluminum. However, aluminum cannot be deposited directly on platinum, as electrochemical reactions between the aluminum and the platinum will destroy the deposited aluminum layer.
One prior art solution to this problem utilizes a layer of titanium nitride to isolate the platinum from the aluminum. The titanium nitride is deposited by a sputtering technique that leads to deformities such as "bumps" in the titanium nitride layer. It is difficult to obtain a uniform aluminum layer in the presence of these deformities.
Broadly, it is the object of the present invention to provide an improved platinum-aluminum interconnect system.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide an improved platinum-aluminum interconnect system that provide a superior platinum binding surface for subsequent aluminum deposition.
These and other objects of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description of the invention and the accompanying drawings.
The present invention comprises a method for making an aluminum connection to a platinum electrode. In the present invention, the surface of the platinum electrode is first oxidized to form a layer of PtO2. The aluminum is then deposited on the PtO2 layer.
FIG. 1 illustrates the deposition of an aluminum layer on a platinum substrate using the method of the present invention.
The present invention is based on the observation that PtO2 provides a chemically inert substrate for the deposition of aluminum. The PtO2 is generated by oxidizing the surface of the platinum layer that is to become the substrate for the aluminum deposition. The PtO2 isolates the aluminum from the platinum as shown in FIG. 1.
A PtO2 layer 20 having a thickness of approximately 0.01 mm is generated on the surface of a platinum electrode 18 by ashing the surface of electrode 18. An aluminum interconnect 22 may then be deposited on layer 20. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the surface of electrode 18 is exposed to an oxygen plasma for at least 10 minutes at a power of approximately 150 mW ad a pressure of approximately 200 mTorr. In one embodiment of the present invention, a Techniques Plasma Etcher Model 750 was utilized for the ashing step. The PtO2 acts as a buffer/passivation layer creating a fully conductive inert oxide interface. The PtO2 layer lacks the deformities that interfered with aluminum deposition in prior art methods; hence, the present invention provides a superior surface for the deposition of the aluminum metalization 22.
There has been described herein a system for making aluminum connections to platinum electrodes. Various modifications to the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the foregoing description and accompanying drawings. Accordingly, the present invention is to be limited solely by the scope of the following claims.

Every three months, GOOD releases our quarterly magazine, which examines a given theme through our unique lens. Recent editions have covered topics like the impending global water crisis, the future of transportation, and the amazing rebuilding of New Orleans. This quarter's issue is about cities, spotlighting Los Angeles, and we'll be rolling out a variety of stories all month. You can subscribe to GOOD here.
Forget Stockholm or Copenhagen or any of those tidy, polite, well-managed Scandinavian cities. Forget that cherished model of North American transit planning, Portland, Oregon, a perfectly fine and impressive study, but made for a small and more easily managed city. To find smart, progressive transportation solutions for a city as massive, frenetic, and sprawling as Los Angeles, we must look toward the surprisingly effective models in places every bit as massive, frenetic, and sprawling.
Amidst enormous internal urban migration, routine corruption, and perennially strapped budgets, a number of South American cities have tamed the auto craze to create livable streets and incredibly efficient mass transit.
Curitiba, Brazil
Thirty years ago, a maverick mayor, Jaime Lerner, pioneered Bus Rapid Transit. Lerner calls it a "surface subway"—express buses are given exclusive, traffic-free lanes, and stops are equipped with elevated platforms where customers pre-pay, wait for the bus, and step right on when it arrives. The average stop takes less than 20 seconds. Today, more than 70 percent of Curitibans take the BRT to work. Those who still drive enjoy less congested roads.
Meanwhile, the city closed off a good chunk of downtown to all personal vehicles. The pedestrian city center—once vehemently opposed by local business folks who feared patrons would have no way to reach them—is now a vibrant commercial core.
Bogota, Colombia
In the mid-1990s, Mayor Enrique Peñalosa brought the Curitiba model to Bogota, creating the world-renowned TransMilenio bus system. Double-long ("articulated") bright red express buses cruise along dedicated four-lane rights-of-way down the center of major avenues and expressways. Routine cross-town travel times are reported to have dropped dramatically: a 30-kilometer trip that once took 2 hours and 15 minutes now takes just 55 minutes. "Feeder" buses traverse neighborhoods and bring passengers to main TransMilenio hub terminals. Bicycles also play a huge role. Bike parking at TransMilenio terminals is abundant and free, and buffered cycling arterials flow through the busiest neighborhoods.
Quito, Santiago de Chile, Sao Paulo, and Buenos Aires are all hopping on board the surface subway trend. The advantages to urban planners and city leaders are clear: Buses are cheaper, easier, and a whole lot faster to get up and running than subways that would move the same amount of people. The best examples integrate land-use planning and rezoning efforts, concentrating high-density development along transit corridors.

Mohamed Rafique Moosa South Africa Very informative in a relaxed style 2015-05-08 00:05:32
Mohamed Rafique Moosa South Africa Thank YOU for this interesting course 1, Be familar with details like browser, url, server, host, registrar, search engines, website and webpage 2. Choose a domain name, that is easy to remember, short and preferably use ,com, as it globally common. 3. You have to purchase a domain name from a Registrar and pay for it, like godaddy.com. They can even host it for a fee. 4. If you choose a different Hosting account, like Hostgator or find a good other hosting account, fill in domain name & pay the fee for the period of time selected. 5. Your domain registrar, allocates your "name server", which links the registrar to the hosting account, 6. The hosting account must have the same "name server" from the registrar account, which must be copied in its page 7. The registrar could also be the hosting account, than it is not necessary to submit the "name server". 8. To sum up, you register a domain name, select a hosting company and submit the domain "name server", if different accounts. 9 Thank you Chris 2015-05-07 23:05:42

Timberwolves have record week after trading Love
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Timberwolves haven't made the playoffs in 10 years and just traded the face of their franchise so he can go chase a championship with LeBron James in Cleveland.
Kevin Love is gone now, and yet somehow the Timberwolves have parlayed that into a record-setting week at the box office.
After completing the long-rumored trade that sent Love to the Cavaliers and brought Andrew Wiggins, Anthony Bennett and Thaddeus Young to Minnesota, the Timberwolves have sold more than 300 full season-ticket packages in the last week.
That beats the previous record in 2011 that was set when Ricky Rubio announced that he was coming over from Spain to play for the team.
"The organization, from president-level on down has just been re-energized," Timberwolves senior vice president and chief revenue officer Ryan Tanke said. "Part of it is hope, and you have this great new hope.
"But then there's also the reality, which is it was a long, tough summer. For it to come to the head that it came to and have it be the outcome that we had, I think it creates this perfect storm environment for us."
The front office and players weren't the only ones stuck in limbo this summer because of an NBA rule that prevented the blockbuster trade from being consummated until 30 days after Wiggins signed his contract.
The Timberwolves' sales staff had to sit on its collective hands and wait for the official announcement to come before reaching out to fans to beef up a season-ticket base that dropped from 7,400 for the 2013-14 season to fewer than 6,000 this summer.
Sales representatives were barred from discussing the trade with inquiring fans and the team certainly could not advertise the wholesale changes that were coming.
"I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a really challenging summer for our sales staff," Tanke said. "When you don't have the story to tell, you have to go to painstaking lengths to make sure they don't tell a story and stay off of rumors. We're unable to talk about that stuff so your challenge is compounded when you can't even talk about it."
As last Saturday — the first day that Wiggins was allowed to be traded — got closer and closer, more reports started to come out that the deal was going to happen.
Still unable to confirm anything officially, the Wolves still did start to see some momentum build. They sold 200 full season-ticket packages in the three weeks leading up to the announcement, with fans growing more and more confident that the deal was a matter of when, not if.
And when the announcement finally did come down, well, the staff Wigged out. An army of 50 sales representatives wore brightly colored wigs to the office on Saturday morning to celebrate, and they started hitting the phones.
The players were unveiled at the Minnesota State Fair on Tuesday, drawing large crowds wherever they went. The Wolves also set a new five-day record with 500,000 page views and 200,000 visitors to timberwolves.com.

As promised, here are answers to questions that couldn't be answered during the talk: Q: How do you install the tools? The manual has full details, but it's important to know that the latest release for […]
Edge-case behavior of INSERT…ODKU
A few weeks back, I was working on a customer issue wherein they were observing database performance that dropped through the floor (to the point of an outage) roughly every 4 weeks or so. Nothing special about the environment, the hardware, or the queries; really, the majority of the database was a single table with […]
When is MIN(DATE) != MIN(DATE) ?
Inspiration for this post is courtesy of a friend and former colleague of mine, Greg Youngblood, who pinged me last week with an interesting MySQL puzzle. He was running Percona Server 5.5.21 with a table structure that looks something like this:
CREATE TABLE foo (
id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
uid INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
update_time DATETIME NOT NULL,
INDEX `uid` (uid, update_time),
INDEX `bar` (some_other_columns)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;
When he ran this query:
SELECT MIN(update_time) FROM foo WHERE update_time IS NOT NULL AND update_time <> '0000-00-00 00:00:00';
The result came back as 2012-06-22 10:28:16. […]
Recovery after DROP & CREATE
In a very popular data loss scenario a table is dropped and empty one is created with the same name. This is because mysqldump in many cases generates the "DROP TABLE" instruction before the "CREATE TABLE":
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `actor`;
/*!40101 SET @saved_cs_client = @@character_set_client */;
/*!40101 SET character_set_client = utf8 */;
CREATE TABLE `actor` (
`actor_id` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`first_name` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
`last_name` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
`last_update` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
PRIMARY KEY (`actor_id`),
KEY `idx_actor_last_name` (`last_name`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=201 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
/*!40101 SET character_set_client = @saved_cs_client */;
If there were no subsequent CREATE TABLE the recovery would be trivial. Index_id of the PRIMARY index of […]
