|The thin agar layer (TAL) method was experimentally tested to determine its ability to recover Escherichia coli O157:H7 injured by sodium chloride (NaCl). Cells grown in Brain Heart Infusion broth with 0%, 5%, or 7.5% (w/v) NaCl were spread and spiral plated onto Tryptic Soy agar (TSA), MacConkey Sorbitol agar (MSA), and TSA/MSA TAL combinations. Generally, TSA recovered more injured cells than TAL (p < or =0.05), and TAL recovered more cells than MSA (p < or =0.05). Preparation mode (two vs. three layers) and age (0, 1, or 7 days) of TAL had negligible effect on resuscitation of injured cells (p > 0.05). TAL, which is conventionally used to recover heat, cold, and acid-injured foodborne pathogens, may be used to recover NaCl-injured E. coli O157:H7.

I have been surprised at how many owners seem to be wrapping new cars with one of the clear films. On top of that, I have never heard of a manufacturer offering wrap as a new car option. Is there a problem with Model S paint quality? I paid extra for the MC red and I expect it to be perfect on delivery and durable in use (I expect delivery in a couple of weeks). I take care of my cars very carefully. Should I expect to have to take some kind of extra care with my Tesla?
My factory paint (blue) is quite bad. Detailer says he hasn't seen such a bad finish in many years. Mine has spots everywhere, he suspects "solvent pop". I think it was rushed through production (yay, first profitable quarter ever!) and put outside for a couple weeks while the finish was still soft.
I had 3M clearbra installed on my S550 when I got it.....This is just one of the more progressive things that Tesla is known for doing, many sports/luxury car enthusiasts already get these films on their cars along the front bumper and fenders, sometimes the entire hood. These are the same type of people that would get their bumpers resprayed instead if not for the film, not something a typical car owner is known for doing but not uncommon among cars in this price range.
Also, since Tesla is located in California, they are required to used more environmentally friendly paints which tend to be softer than what other manufacturers use. Additionally, in the past 10 years or so most auto paint applications have tended to be much thinner than in times past. I've been applying hood, fender clear bras on my cars since 2005. It saves the front end from chips in a big way.
Sorry to hear about the car paint problem.
Have you contacted a Tesla service center? Will they repaint it for free?
Paint protection works and is becoming quite popular. Most manufacturers have areas of the car covered (eg the rear quarter panels) to protect against rocks kicked up. Toyota offers hood and fender protection as standard offering on its Camry now ($395 option).
My Model S was hit by a 60+ mph rock while going 80+ mph in the opposite direction. It took a small gouge from my paint armor where it would have normally taken a chip off any normal paint job.
Go to your neighborhood grocery store and look at the hoods of older cars. How many notches are there from stone strikes? They are all makes and models, so paint quality has nothing to do with it. I hope to take off the wrap in 4-8 years to reveal a nearly perfect factory finish.
I think there's a lot of psychological overlap between those that wrap their phones in cases and clear shields and those that wrap their car. I can't say I fall in that category, though. A car, like a phone, is made to be used. It gets a few chips here and there, but that's what happens to cars. And this from someone fanatical about washing and detailing his car.
My current car came with paint armor from the factory, and I can't imagine a more terrible thing to have on it. The fact that its white makes it really obvious that dirt gets trapped around the edges, and it's a nightmare to clean. So if you do get it wrapped, make sure it goes around the edges of the sheet metal instead of stopping 1/8" short, especially on light colors.
In the same way I like to interact with the glass and metal of my phone, I want to touch the metal of the car when I wash it or open the frunk. Not having chips would be nice, certainly, but not at the cost of that tactile relationship. Rubbing your hand over your car's metal after you've just clay barred it is fantastic.
I ordered paint armor on my 2010 Infiniti FX. After my 2005 looked like it was sandblasted from rocks driving it daily on the highway, this was quite a good option for me. After 3 years it had no paint chips. It was not even a question for me - ordered it immediately.
Many owners of expensive cars get their cars wrapped for extra protection of their investment. Check this gallery for example.
@Gizmotoy I totally agree with you about people casing their iPhones but the clear film wrap of the car is very different. You usually keep your car much longer than you phone and a good wrap job is very indistinguishable.
The reason people are wrapping their cars has nothing to do with the quality of the paint job and everything to do with the price of the car. Many Model S owners spent double what they've ever spent on a vehicle before, so naturally they would like to protect their investment. What I don't like about the wrapping process is that it requires removal of all trim pieces, emblems, etc. I would hate to have a brand new car go through that process, it seems unnecessarily invasive.
@Amped, I wouldn't worry about that stuff it all snaps on or is double sticky tape, easily reapplied. I'm doing opti coat when I get my S.
Having your car wrapped in clear film is a very smart decision, so long as it's done properly (wrapped edges and full coverage). One thing to keep in mind, if the paint condition is poor to begin with (Teslas are known for this unfortunately), you will need to have the vehicle prepped by a detailer to remove the defects BEFORE applying the clear film. Many car owners (and clear film installers) think it's possible to apply the film and rid themselves of the paint defects, however, you will merely magnify the swirls/scratches if you do not have them removed before the film is installed.
Once you have the film installed, it's still recommended to have it protected with a proper sealant or coating to keep the film from prematurely "yellowing."
What does this process typically cost for a vehicle like this? I don't need specifics, just a ballpark idea.
@jeffsstuff Depends how much you get wrapped, if it's fully wrapped or a kit. I could see the cost being anywhere from $400 (partial front-end wrap) to $5000 or more for a full vehicle wrap.
I don't know about the paint quality, but that has nothing to do with why I got my car wrapped.
My previous car got lots of little paint chips on the hood and pits on the plast fascia. The wrap prevents that.
@olanmills - Correct, clear film is used to prevent rock chips. I was referring to the condition of the paint below the clear film and that it's important to prep the surface before installing the wrap. Clear film is definitely a smart choice.
dbower - I have had the MC red on mine since May. The only thing I've done to the car is to apply some liquid glass. The paint has held up very well so far. No complaints.
Xpel wrap for the front half of the car (hood, front end, front doors) was quoted at $2200. Opticoat Pro installation (entire car including wheels) was $700. So I could wait until I feel the need to repair road damage and do three Opticoat Pro apps (adding touchup paint buffed in by pros) for less than the cost of one Xpel job on half the car.
If I had the money, I'd do the Opticoat Pro and then have the whole car Xpel-wrapped. Not being there at this point, it becomes a difficult call as to which is the better option.
I don't wrap my sofa in plastic like my grandmother did and I don't wrap my car either. I notice the imperfections in the wraps and bras that come over time. We have a local paint shop that has fixed the few dings that I have gotten over the past 15 years at about $200 a pop.
Seven months of grinning and still a perfect paint job.
@TeslaOR I don't think it's the same as wrapping your sofa with plastics but the cost is certainly a consideration. I agree it may not be worthwhile to wrap a $30K Camry but I would not save the money for an $100K investment.
You may want to try hand wash your car once and see if you're still grinning. ;-)
@ thranx,
You are comparing two completely different products that do two completely different things. Opti Coat is nothing more than a chemical, like wax, which bonds with your paint. It does nothing to protect your paint from impact damage. The only way to protect from impact damage is to use a physical barrier between the impacter and the paint surface. That would be the Xpel. It is a an actual clear plastic film that is wrapped around the body panels of your car.
Please do not expect a "wax" product like Opti Coat to do anything to protect your paint from impact damage.
@AR thanks for clearing this up in a few sentences.
There are different issues at play here.
CA low VOC compliant water based paint--seems to be softer and more prone to damage (swirls, scratches, as well as impact).
Desire to protect/preserve finish on expensive vehicle (nothing new--all car dealers now offer some kind of protection, be it a wrap/film or a chemical application).
FWIW, I am not into wraps or films, but recognize that the paint is soft. I chose to do a chemical application, specifically by having my professional detailer apply OptiCoat pro, a thick ceramic based clear coat. He did apply a thicker layer at impact points. This will of course not protect against major rock chips, and probably not as well as a film or wrap would.
Please take the time to search here using volkerize.com and also go to the TMC site and search there for much more information.
I have done clear bras on all my cars since 2005 to avoid the unavoidable stone chips.
Regarding paint quality, we can't really expect these cars to be up to MB or BMW quality. After all, the TM paint shop is left over from the Toyota/GM joint venture, so the equipment must be at east 15 years old IIRC. We get Toyota/Chevrolet quality paint jobs as the price of innovation. I had to have my rear bumper repainted due to a parking lot ding and the TM-approved body shop said it was the worst paint they'd seen on a recent car.
Same for body panel figments, which TM has had issues with since the start. They now have new front and rear bumper part numbers and special retrofit kits for cars with older bumpers. If the kit won't do it, TM is now offering to replace the bumpers. My car is going in on Oct 30 for two new bumpers, as the fix kit still left my bumpers misaligned where the bumper meets the body in the wheel well.
I never heard of wraps until I started visiting this site! I have never owned a car that was expensive enough to wrap. I don't even know if I have seen a wrapped car. But I am convinced (so far) to go with the OptiCoat Pro and the Xpel wrap on my Model S. My delivery will be in 2014.
My question is: So if a rock hits the wrap, isn't a tear in the wrap going to show? I know you are protecting the paint with the wrap, but every rock that would have chipped the paint will still tear the wrap, won't it?
Secondly: How often do you generally replace the wrap? How do you know when to replace it? How do you maintain the wrap? (I can't imagine waxing over the wrap.) What about the OptiCoat - how often does that need redoing? Does it get chipped or sun damaged?
Thank you! I expect that your answers will help a lot of visitors here besides me.
On light scratches, the wrap has some ability to "self-heal". In my case it left a tiny chip in the armor.
At that point, the entire panel needs to be peeled off and a new one applied. How often is really a matter of your ego vs. wallet. For that tiny ding, I'll wait. In a separate incident where I rubbed against my garage door frame, the damage was big and I had it replaced. The paint was perfectly protected, only a small divot in the aluminum was left (which no paint armor would protect anyways).
Pungoteague--are you sure TM is reusing the old NUMMI/GM paint shop?? The part of the factory that they have rehabbed/cleaned up is all new, with new stamping equipment, new transporters, new robotic machines, etc. I have been on the tour. The video available showing the paint line looks pretty high tech. This is IMHO not a technology issue but a 'feature' of the available paints and clear coats legal to use in CA.
Based on the Nat Geo documentary, I doubt the paint robots are repurposed from NUMMI days.
I got the film on my red S. I had about a hundred little chips in my 6 yr old prius and did not want that in my new car. After about 12 month while on the freeway a nearby truck made a rock hoot sideways at my car and hit it just behind the front wheel well. dented the metal and did not chip the paint, due to the armor. Another instance is in tight quarters I rubbed a house with my front bumper; transferred paint from the house to my bumper, looked really bad. When I took the car in for service, TM sent it to a detailer ad the house paint is removed and the bumper is unmarred while the film is a little distorted. Cannot even notice the scrape.
I recommend to get the film, it is cheap ding insurance.
I don't know the reality, but when TM bought the NUMMI facility they said that it came with all the stamping and painting equipment, which was intended to be reused in the new operation. They have since said that they converted areas into the clean factory format and relocated much of the old equipment into the TM line. IIRC, that included the robotic equipment, which was reprinted red and hung with Tesla logos. Since painting equipment hasn't changed much despite some new-tech water based green paints, I doubt that TM would have bought new. The coolest stuff in the Nat Geo documentary, the robots, were repurposed.

Hi! What do you think of the name Usnavys (pornouced Oos-na-vees) for a girl? And what middle names do you think would go nicely with it (I would prefer something Irish). Thank you! Love Annette xxx
She adds later:
Wow, you girls are good! Yea, I read it in a book called "The Dirty Girls Social Club" (good read, I would recomend it!) It was something to do with the mother of the girl wanted a patriotic name for her daughter then she saw a ship with US Navy writen on the side and dicided to make it into Usnavys. Anyways, I was just wondering what you thought of it and if you knew any good middle names that might go with it. Love Annette xxx
The least she could have done is turned it into Usnavies. I mean, at least that would kind of look feminine. As feminine as being called U. S. Navy could be, you know.

'Youngsters in fear of Quedgeley drugs culture'
Posted: March 25, 2014|
YOUNGSTERS fear walking down some streets in Quedgeley because of a hidden drugs culture, it has been claimed.
Quedgeley parish councillors discussed the problem at a meeting this week.
Councillor Steve Smith said: "The kids sat around the table and they said that they are worried about drugs and some have said they are frightened to walk around some areas."
Fellow councillor Richard Sims added: "It is a genuine concern from some of them."
And councillor Gill White, from Kingsway, said: "Many of the problems we are experiencing in Kingsway are coming from Hempsted. It only takes one person on the estate to invite people from different areas.
"I wouldn't say that the situation is really bad but it is a big area with lots of different types of people so you are bound to get these issues.
"They know where the drug problems are and some of them are willing to talk about it but they don't know where they can get the support."
But support is on hand for Quedgeley's most vulnerable children and teenagers, a support worker has said.
Debbie Webb, community social worker from Gloucestershire County Council's early intervention targeted support team, said: "There may be a number of needs that a child has and we are working in the community to try and meet those.
"We have family support workers who are working with children on the impact of domestic violence and issues such as self harm and low self-esteem.
"We are trying to manage some difficult cases. For the children it is about permanency and making sure they are not moved around all of the time."
Other efforts in Quedgeley and Kingsway include the Reach Out! project which sees youth worker Jess Price head out into the community meeting youngsters on the streets. Jess is leaving the post but a replacement youth worker will be appointed.
A new community builder has also been appointed, with funding from the police and crime commissioner Martin Surl. Their job will be to pull together the different people in the community and link resources to better tackle the issues the area faces.

Oxholm Mølle
The Mill, a so-called Dutch windmill, was built in 1857, placed on top of a hill in open landscape, and sailors often used the mills of landmarks. It originally had a reed/heather-tatched roof and the top, to wicch the arms are fastened, could be turned up against the wind. Only at calm or at gale the work had to be stopped, which was quite disastrous if holiday seasons were near. Early 1900 farmers were enabled to install small mills of their own, which made milling unprofitable, and Oxholm Mill closed down in 1914.
11th October, 2004 was the day of disaster for Oxholm Mill. It burned down in just a few minutes, and the original interior was lost. In the meantime, the former Brovst Kommune had taken over the ownership of the mill, and insurance money covered the present reconstruction. The mille - pride and landmark of Øland - was re-opened 17th may 2008.

Die Kliphuis is a magnificent eatery in a magnificent location. As soon as you walk in the door, actually step out your car, they are eager to serve you.
There are seating options inside and outside, but on a beautiful enjoying your meal outside is a must. Die Kliphuis is literally on the beach - no road in between - and offers the most stunning views of the vast Atlantic Ocean. Be sure to try catch a sunset.
Right after you are led to your beautifully dressed table, a chair gets pulled out for you and heated towels are provided to wash your hands. This might sound quite pretentious, but in this setting you will feel true chivalry instead of an uppity atmosphere.
You are then treated to bread and sometimes a small cup of soup to get that appetite going. The menu is large and you will find yourself spoilt for choice. Try the chicken cordon bleu, juicy and perfectly cooked, one of the succulent steaks or one of the many freshly prepared seafood dishes.
Here you can saunter in the sun, breathe clean sea air and enjoy a lazy glass of wine and a great meal.
Attached to the Super Plants Nursery, the spacious interior and rustic décor is warm and earthy, in keeping with the natural surroundings.
The menu leans towards versatility, with delicious light lunches, mouthwatering cakes and afternoon teas.
Try the grilled chicken breast, crisp bacon, fried banana, avocado served on salad greens. Or the Hunter's Schnitzel, which consists of a crumbed pork fillet topped with a mushroom/ham/red wine cream sauce or the lamb shank.
Set within landscaped gardens, miniature lakes and local wildlife, diners can soak up the tranquil surroundings while children play.
Original recipe chicken made according to the Colonel's recipe. What would a restaurant guide be without KFC. No matter who you are, you will enjoy the fast, convenient and finger-licking food coming out of this take away outlet.
Whether it is the original recipe chicken pieces covered in a batter that nobody we know of has been able to copy, or the tender fillet burgers with or without a kicking spiciness, it is hard to be disappointed with a meal.

It fills a void and feeds a hunger for something that is not shrouded in statistics, task forces, and synergistic partnerships.
But then, I got The hunger Games a few months later, and was like, Fuck yeah!
At first, there was something very progressive about the way the hunger Games films handled these love stories.
But from Ferguson to Washington to Wall Street, we are still playing our own hunger Games.
Some became so resigned from hunger that they would climb themselves onto the wagons of corpses.
But he was just out of the den after his long winter sleep and savage with hunger.
The hunger for the manhunt is like the hunger for food, and Bill Dozier had been starved for many a day.
The feeding is all done not at the time of hunger, but at the time of day.
I was very much exhausted, and suffered greatly from hunger.
Suppose it to have only one perception, as of thirst or hunger.
Old English hungor "unease or pain caused by lack of food, craving appetite, debility from lack of food," from Proto-Germanic *hungruz (cf. Old Frisian hunger, Old Saxon hungar, Old High German hungar, Old Norse hungr, German hunger, Dutch honger, Gothic huhrus), probably from PIE root *kenk- (2) "to suffer hunger or thirst." Hunger strike attested from 1885; earliest references are to prisoners in Russia.
Old English hyngran (cf. Old Saxon gihungrjan, Old High German hungaran, German hungern, Gothic huggrjan), from the source of hunger (n.). Related: Hungered; hungering.
hunger hun·ger (hŭng'gər)
A strong desire or need for food.
The discomfort, weakness, or pain caused by a prolonged lack of food.
A strong desire or craving, as for affection.

In coming off a year of transition that produced mixed results, many within the program are highly optimistic about their prospects this fall.

Factor in the return of their coaching staff and a recently renovated gym, and there is a lot to be encouraged about this coming season.

In our opinion, Babylonstoren hotel in South Africa comes close to paradise. It is one of those faraway places that gives you instant wanderlust. Its latest addition is an impressive greenhouse, where greens and plants live happily ever after.
Babylonstoren, located in the Cape Winelands outside Franschhoek, recently added a 26-meter-long green steel conservatory to its eight-acre vegetable, fruit, and herb garden. The greenhouse was a collaboration between co-owner Karen Roos (the former editor of Elle Decoration of South Africa) and general manager Terry de Waal. Guests are offered tea and refreshments, most of which are cultivated from inside or in the massive garden. For more information, go to Babylonstoren Green House.
Photographs via Yatzer.
Above: The greenhouse double-functions as a teahouse and arboretum. The greenhouse helps the staff conserve different varietals which otherwise would be victims of Western Cape's heavy winter rainfall and dry summers.
Above: The greenhouse has removable bamboo roof screens imported from France, in case the sunlight needs to be controlled.

Penni Anne Cross
Penni Anne Cross lived on the Crow Indian Reservation in Montana for many years. Her closeness with the families there, led to her adoption as a daughter of one of the families, and eventually into formally being accepted into the Crow Nation as a member. Her experiences, while living and working among the Indians, inspired her to specialize in painting Crow Indian subjects. Through her delicate paintings, Penni interprets their special character and customs. She captures their pensive beauty in vibrant portraits which have received national recognition and have established her as a premier Indian artist.
When questioned about her tendency to paint only the women and young Indian girls, Penni responds with the following statements; "Basically, the Native American Indian society is purely matriarchal in structure, nature, and essence. The lives of the Indian, in general, are governed by the women. To capture and create through artistic form the Indian woman's strength, beauty, and peace has not only been a warm and rewarding experience but it has also served to remind me of the total fulfillment I can realize in having been created to become the blessing of a woman. It has been a privilege and infinite honor to know the Indian women who have inhabited my daily life, but even more so, because of their willingness to allow me to capture and share the world that I see and feel in them. For this, I am a better person having known, loved, and lived with them."

Blog: General impressions from an Indy show
Sep 24, 2012 - by Mike McMahon
Over the weekend I had the chance to check out MWF's "Big Bang Birthday Bash" in Melrose, Mass. It's only a short drive from my hometown and my son loves the up-close-and-personal experience you get at an Indy show. Plus, MWF does a great job bringing in a lot of former WWE stars.
Here are some general, quick-hit thoughts on the show and its participants.
– The Boogeyman gets it. In an age when I'm sure a lot of former WWE stars want to check in and check out of these Indy dates, grab their cash and leave, Boogeyman does it right. He'll never be mistaken for Bret Hart in the ring, but he shook every hand, took hundreds of photos with fans and after he dismantled "Playboy" Jimmy James in the ring, picked up a dozen or so kids, brought them into the ring and had them do their best "Boogey walk." He left a lot of kids with a lot of memories and it was really great to see. Stuff like that is what makes these type of shows so special, in my opinion.
And for those wondering, yes, even on Indy shows he carries a bag full of worms, which end up digested before his match is over.
Boogeyman doing his worm thing.tout.com/m/x4enj9?ref=t…
— Mike McMahon (@MisterMcMahon) September 22, 2012
– Want a name to keep eye on? Julian Starr. He's been around the New England circuit for a while and the guy is fantastic. I'd compare his style and look to a mix between The Miz and Dolph Ziggler. He's great in the ring, is one of the best high-flyers in the region, and as was proven on Saturday, has good mic skills and charisma. He's young, too (only in his early-20s). WWE plucked Max Bauer, another New England talent, and signed him to a development deal recently. Starr could be next.
– There are two other guys who, for the life of me, I can't understand why they aren't under a developmental contract. Scott Reed is tremendous. He's a DGUSA vet and the only knock on him is he's undersized (in height, he has a good build). Then there's Brian Fury, who is sort of the elder statesman (he also runs New England Pro Wrestling Academy in North Andover, Mass.). If my son ever wanted to train to be a pro wrestler, having done some research on the topic and obviously being a longtime fan and journalist covering the sport, there are only a few places I'd let him go, and Fury's school is definitely one of them.
– Ron Simmons, who was on hand as the special enforcer for the Scott Reed vs. Dylan Cage match, has the hardest handshake of any individual I've ever met in my entire life. It's Monday afternoon, and I'm still a little sore.

MySQL on Linux TutorialThis tutorial covers the MySQL database running on a Linux server. This tutorial will also cover the generation and use a simple database. The interface language of the MySQL database is the standard SQL (Standard Query Language) which allows for inserts, updates and queries of data stored in relational tables. The SQL language is also used for the administration of the database for the creation and modification of tables, users and access privileges. Tables are identified by unique names and hold data in a row and column (record) structure. A fixed number of named columns are defined for a table with a variable number of rows.
Related YoLinux Tutorials:
°MySQL InnoDB, Transactions & Foreign Keys
°Apache, Tomcat, MySQL and Java
Red Hat / Fedora Core RPM Packages:
Check if installed: rpm -q mysql mysql-server mysqlclient9
The examples on this page used mySQL 3.23.58 which is used in Red Hat 7, 8, 9 and Fedora Core 1, 2, 3.
Also see YoLinux.com systems administration - using RPM to set GPG signatures and install RPM packages.
Installing MySQL.com RPM packages: If instaling newer versions of MySQL from RPM packages obtained from MySQL.com, you must first import and register their public GPG key:
Ubuntu / Debian package installation:
Start the database:
Post installation:
Documentation in /usr/share/doc/mysql-3.23.41/ (local file)
Create a database user:
Assign user privileges:
Passwords and connecting to the databse:
Debian/Ubuntu upgrades: Note that the Debian/Ubuntu distribution will have an additional file /etc/mysql/debian.conf. This file holds a password for the user "debian-sys-maint" which is used by the install tool dpkg to perform database upgrades. This can also be used in emergencies if you forget the root password. It is also a security hole if the file is available to others.
[Potential Pitfall]: It is very easy to
make mistakes which get entered into important tables. If you enter the
command twice you may have one incorrect and one correct entry. Look at the
table data after a mistake to see what happened in case it needs to be fixed.
[Potential Pitfall]: Any changes (UPDATE) to the user table will require a "FLUSH PRIVILEGES" before the changes will be effective.
MySQL root password recovery:
Disabling networking:If your configuration is a web server interacting with a mySQL database running on the same "localhost" then one may turn off network access to tighten security. Edit shell script:
Mysql 5.0 configuration: Networking is disabled by default on the default Red Hat and Ubuntu installation.Red Hat/CentOS: To enable remote database access, add the "bind-address" with the public IP address to the file: /etc/my.cnf. To force local access only without remote access, set the "bind-address" to 127.0.0.1
A firewall rule can further restrict access to a single server (eg web server at 192.168.1.13):
SQL requests are either administrative or data-related. The following are sample SQL segments and are not necessarily pertinent to the previous example:
Loading a SQL file into MySQL:Import SQL file from MySQL client command line:
One may import data into the MySQL database from SQL files or "load" data from CSV or tab delimited files using the LOAD command:
Loading CSV or tab delimeted files into MySQL:"LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE" vs "LOAD DATA INFILE": The term "LOCAL" pertains to whether the file is local to the MySQL client. Without the keyword "LOCAL", the datafile must reside on the same computer as the database server. The location of the client in this case would be irrelevant. The "LOAD DATA INFILE" has many file permission pitfalls and is thus trickey. In fact I have never been sucessful using this method with a user directory.
Load a tab delimited file into the database:
Command: LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'file.dat' INTO TABLE employer;
Input tab delimited file: file.dat
Load a comma delimited file (CSV) into the database:Command: LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE "/tmp/TableData.csv" INTO TABLE employer FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY """" LINES TERMINATED BY "\r\n" (Name, Dept, jobTitle);
[Potential Pitfalls]:
Also look at the mysqlimport command.
The mysqldump command will read the mySQL database and generate a SQL command text file. This allows data to be migrated to other versions of mySQL (i.e. upgrade from typical Red Hat (RH7.x to FC3) mySQL release 3.23.58 to a more advanced mySQL 4.1 or 5.0) or to other SQL databases. SQL command file generated can create tables, insert data, ....
Man Page:
Restore using dump generated by mysqldump above:
Quiesce Database:When using enterprise storage with "snapshot" capabilities (eg Netapp, HP, EMC, ...), note that a "snapshot" of a database with transaction locks is a "snapshot" of a database in an inconsitant state. One should quiesce the database, to halt further changes, before taking the snapshot so that you have a transactionally consistent backup of mysql. Check Database Status:
[Potential Pitfall]: Ubuntu mysql 5.0 database migration - When migrating the mysql database by copying files from /var/lib/mysql/... and /etc/mysql/... from one system running Ubuntu 6.11 to 8.04, I got nebulous error message in /var/log/syslog. The root cause of the problem was apparmor. If turing off apparmor (/etc/init.d/apparmor stop) allows your database to start and function properly, then go fix your apparmor security rules in /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld. Also note that you must use the newer script /etc/mysql/debian-start from release 8.04 after copying /etc/mysql/....
Note: Debian and Ubuntu distributions manage mysql package upgrades using a mysql user debian-sys-maint which has its information located in /etc/mysql/debian.cnf. If you ever forget your mysql root password, you can always get back into the mysql database using the user debian-sys-maint and its password held in /etc/mysql/debian.cnf.
If one would like to generate a GUI interface to the database, I would recommenda web form to a Java servlet back-end or use a JAVA GUI program and JDBC. See the YoLinux tutorial on accessing MySQL with JDBC in a Tomcat servlet example.

This product doesn't show any dust or scratches. I like the motion sensor for the light in case you forget to turn it off. Great for the bathroom.
super quality
My husband complained that he had difficulty seeing up close in the large bathroom mirror so he could shave, and would actually use our guest bathroom to shave in as the mirror was closer. Now he is happy as a clam with this mirror attached to the wall near his sink, and the bronze finish perfectly matches our décor. Love it!
I had this mounted in the bathroom mostly for my fiance. She uses it for make-up, plucking, etc.
It made her happy (very important thing). The unit matched most of the bathroom trim. It's a very solid unit, it's NOT made out of plastic.
The only downside is that it was more expensive than a lot of other units, but it compensated by being solidly built
Nice for being up close, convenient
I purchased this mirror to use when putting on my makeup. The great added bonus is that the finish matches the bathroom mirrors I purchased at Lamps Plus as well.
great item makes mornings easier
The auto on off feature, easy install. Hands free operation. I like that it can pull out far enough to see my hair in the back.The magnification is fine for me, but my Husband would like it to be at least 7! We have our previous model that is higher magnification in another bathroom now, as this ORB goes so nicely with our remodel. Just love it.
Very good to apply eye makeup
This mirror is beautiful as well as functional
attractive and sturdy it is an excellent product to use applying make-up. might be a little dim for anything else i.e. shaving.
My husband hardwired in wall so there is no plug. I love this mirror, very clear on both sides and the motion switch is wonderful.
Looks beautiful in my newly remodeled bathroom.
Our associates are standing by to assist you.

Jarrod Uthoff has been piling up the scholarship offers this spring. But the D1 program closest to his Cedar Rapids home wasn't one of them. That was until today when the Iowa Hawkeyes invited the 6-foot-8 forward down for an unofficial visit and extended a scholarship offer to the rising 2011 prospect."I went down to Iowa City and talked to the Iowa coaches this afternoon and Coach McCaffery said that he wanted me to be a Hawkeye," Uthoff said Sunday evening. "He told me we would love to have you and he said he hoped I would say yes."A "yes" from the skilled big man didn't happen on the spot, but the Cedar Rapids Jefferson prep was thrilled with the offer. ...More...

Re: Cabin in the Woods - Grading, Discussion, Spoilers
I really liked this movie, so it gets an easy 'excellent' from me. I've never seen a horror movie where we've got behind-the-scenes machinations that the audience is let in on. Lots of tropes and expectations turned on their heads. Great stuff. Not much to add to what's already been said. One scene that sticks out is the beginning when our two guys are riding in the golf cart, having a dull conversation that's not worth paying attention to, then one of them says to the other... "Are you even listening to me?" then BAM! We see the movie title. Good way to toy with the viewer.
Oh, and I now see where

Asia Baker believes strongly enough in the future of Binghamton University women's basketball program that she turned in a signed letter of intent this past weekend despite having yet to have a conversation with new head coach Linda Cimino.
Baker, a 5-foot-10 wing player, starred at Plymouth Whitemarsh High School in Plymouth Meeting, Pa., this winter after previously playing at the Shipley School in Bryn Mawr, Pa.
Baker gave a verbal commitment to then-Binghamton coach Nicole Scholl in late November. Despite a coaching change in the offseason, Baker believes Binghamton is still the ...

Indianapolis is at Louisville, scoreless after one. Chad Reineke on the hill.
Bats started single Negron, walk to Valaika. But a Phipps ground ball double play took the starch out of that rally.
Bats offense is struggling:
Negron .237
Valaika .257
Phipps .169
Soto .215
Costanzo .176
Janish .328
Rhinehart .242
Navarro .300
Pensacola is an 805 ET start. Tim Crabbe.
Bakersfield is a 1005 ET start. TBD.
Dayton is a 705 ET start. Daniel Tuttle making his 2012 debut.
Bats score in the second. Janish doubles? I mean Janish doubles. Rhinehart walks. A wild pitch moves the runners up 30 yards (1,080 inches if you prefer) and then Navarro singles to the pitcher.
1-0 after two.
Dayton in a scoreless game in the middle of the third. Tuttle with three good innings, giving up one hit, walking noone and striking out three.
Valaika draws his second walk and then Phipps grounds into his second double play of the game in the third.
If this keeps up, I want Janish up in Cincy and a change made. I'm thrilled with Paul's glove, if he swings the bat even a little...I'll take him over Valdez or Harris in a heartbeat.
Dayton plates a pair in the bottom of the third. Waldrop and Arias single and Perez doubles them home. Perez will be a fan favorite if he ever makes it to Cincinnati with his last name alone.
Bottom of 4th. Janish walks, Rhinehart walks, Navarro doubles (Paul scores), 2 outs later Valiaka sac fly to plate another run. 3-0 bats heading to 5th.
Heading into today's game. .328/.397/.541/.938
Yeah, I know. :clap:
5th: Soto reached on an error. Costanzo flied out, Janish K'd, Rhinehart flied out. 3-0 Bats.
Pensacola gets a double from Lamarre to start the game, Didi walks, H-rod singles to load the bases. Guzman doubles in 2 and H-Rod takes 3rd. Brodie Greene drives in H-Rod with a ground out. 3-0, 1 out and a runner on 2nd.
Cody Puckett K's and Brandon's brother PJ doubles in Guzman. 4-0.
Janish has hit two balls that would have left the park, but 25 mph winds blowing in make it a 2 double night instead of a 2 HR night.
Louisville wins 4-2. Navarro, Soto and Janish with two hits apiece. Reineke with a nice 6-inning outing.4H 1UER 3BB 4K.

TY Target: Burt's Bees All-Natural Tinted Lip Balm
While cruising the beauty section of Target the other day, I stumbled upon Burt's Bees new line of tinted lip balms. With colors like pink blossom, honeysuckle, hibiscus and red dahlia, I had a hard time picking just one. The lip balms come in an eye-catching cardboard tube that turns out to be a total waste of paper, but the product itself is really quite perfect. Unlike their lip shimmers, they don't have that too-powerful minty smell and they give your lips just the right amount of color. The only negative is that they taste bitter when you smack your lips.

As I soar above the clouds
Leaving everything behind,
I search the ground below me.
I have no peace of mind.
I scan every field, so cautiously,
In search of one, single thing.
Then, I see it far below
Under my metallic wing.
I drop my eggs so carefully.
And listen to their whine,
And after a few, brief moments,
I know that leave is mine.
I head to the barn so cheerfully.
It's so close I can almost see it.
Then in a burst of flak, it's over.
My mission is completed.

Formula One News » Formula 1 – Kimi Raikkonen talks about the Pirelli tyres and racing in F1 Posted on 18/04/2013
Kimi Raikkonen who kicked of the 2013 F1 season with a victory in Australia says racing hasn't changed much over the years as "It's more or less the same people, same teams."
Raikkonen told ESPN "I think we did pretty OK last year so hopefully we can do a bit better this year but obviously it's a long season and we have some bad races and we might be out. So when we have a bad race we have to try to minimise those and make the most out of it."
"I don't think racing at the front is any different than it has been in the past, obviously the cars are quite different and in some years you had it quite easy to overtake and some not but it depends a lot on your own car.
"If your car is good and you're quick then as a starting point the racing itself is the same. Different tyres sometimes, but F1 hasn't really changed a lot in 10-odd years that I've been here."
"It's more or less the same people, same teams; the rules keep changing but it doesn't affect F1 an awful lot when we race the same way in the same places."

Found in: Doumbeks
This aluminium Egyptian doumbek is 11" wide X 17.5" tall, and has a 8.5" playing surface Case included. It is decorated with geometric patterns in blue with white and blackaccents. The beautiful and intricate mosaic inlay makes this drum a work of art. The standard synthetic head is tuned with 6 tuning bolts in the collar.
Actual weight 9.0 pounds. Patterns and color may vary slightly from drum to drum. Decorations may differ from photo. All mosaic inlays are delicate. It is not uncommon for small pieces of mosaic to dislodge. This is especially true around the edges and on the collar. With a drum's curving surface, this is to be expected. Missing inlay is not considered a defect or blemish. Your drum is unique and small irregularities should just be considered birth marks.

Muller, Erwin W. (1911-1977), a German-born American physicist, in 1955 became the first person to see an atom, using a microscope he invented.
Erwin Wilhelm Muller (also spelled Mueller) was born June 13, 1911, in Berlin, Germany. As a student at the Technical University of Berlin, Muller studied physics under Gustav Hertz, who had shared the 1925 Nobel Prize in physics with James Franck for confirming the quantum theory of Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck by experiments on the effects produced by bombarding atoms with electrons. In 1936, during a decade of research for a variety of German firms, Muller invented the field-emission microscope. In this instrument, a high negative voltage is applied to a metal needle, and electrons ejected from the needle are attracted to a positively charged screen. Although the images displayed on the screen are too fuzzy to reveal individual atoms, they can indicate how the electrons stream from different metals.
Following World War II (1939–1945), Muller began an academic career with appointments at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physical Chemistry in Göttingen and later at the Free University of West Berlin. In 1951, building upon his field-emission microscope, he developed the ion microscope, which could produce pictures of molecules as small as 1/25,000,000th of an inch in diameter. In 1951, Muller used an ion microscope to take the first picture of the arrangement of atoms on a metal's surface. Also in 1951, Muller emigrated to the United States, where the following year he joined the faculty of Pennsylvania State University. In 1954, he developed a modified version of the ion microscope, the atom-probe field-ion microscope, which can analyze a single atom on a specimen's surface. In August 1955, Muller, using his new microscope, became the first person to see an atom. The atom-probe fieldion microscope can also remove atoms from a metal surface and send them to an instrument called a mass spectrometer. This technique is called field ionization mass spectrometry.
Muller was elected to the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in 1975.

The Hunat Hatun complex is one of the most impressive Seljuk monuments in Kayseri. Built in the early 13C by a sultan's widow, the complex is still home to a mosque, a mausoleum (that of the founder), a Koranic school (now home to a fascinating ethnography museum), and a picturesque hammam which is still in use. Don't hesitate to visit the mosque - making sure you abide by the usual regulations as Kayseri is a fairly conservative town - to admire the prayer hall adorned with a forest of columns.

Uganda 'could vote back' anti-gay lawComment on this story
Kampala - Uganda's parliament will try to re-introduce an anti-homosexuality law that was thrown out by a court, a lawmaker leading the effort said on Wednesday, a move that could once again damage relations with the West.
Last week, the east African country's constitutional court nullified the law, signed by President Yoweri Museveni in February, on a technicality, saying it had been passed by parliament without quorum.
That ruling - two days before the president flew to Washington for a US-Africa summit - appeared to have handed Museveni a way out of a dilemma by striking down a law that he had backed enthusiastically but which was condemned by Western countries and threatened vital aid and investment.
It was not immediately clear whether Museveni would support the bill a second time, if passed by parliament again.
"We're mobilising members to pledge their support for re-introduction of this bill when the House comes back from recess (in about two weeks' time)," Abdu Latif Ssebaggala, told Reuters.
Ssebaggala said he had started collecting signatures on Tuesday of members of parliament in favour of re-introducing the bill and that he expected to have over 200 - in a house of 383 members - by the end of Wednesday.
Homosexuality is taboo in much of Africa and is illegal in 37 countries there. But the punishments in Uganda were among the harshest.
Under the Anti-Homosexuality Act, the crime of "aggravated homosexuality" - someone with HIV having gay sex or anyone having gay sex with someone considered "vulnerable", such as a disabled person - was punishable by life in jail.
The United States, Uganda's biggest donor, called the law "atrocious" and compared it to anti-Semitic laws in Nazi Germany and apartheid in South Africa. In June, Washington reduced aid, imposed visa restrictions and cancelled a military exercise with Uganda in response.
The World Bank, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands also suspended or redirected aid. Sweden resumed financial support to Uganda last week.
Ssebaggala said that as the law had already been debated, it could be put directly to a vote.
During the bill signing, Museveni said homosexuality was emblematic of the West's "social imperialism" in Africa. Powerful Christian groups with links to US evangelical movements call homosexuality an imported Western social evil. - Reuters

Sony ECR-500
From Wikiphonia
Sony ECR-500 - Overview
Sony used a pentagonally shaped monopole electret diaphragm (about 5 microns thick with roughly the same radiating area as a 50mm diameter driver) and sacrificed a bit of efficiency to space the stators far apart to give the diaphragm room to move (shades of the later Stax Pro electrostatics!); thus this headphone has more bass than even the contemporary Stax SR-X Mark 2 and 3, though it is not as flat and cannot play as loud. Minimal mechanical damping means the backwave of the '500 is unimpeded which gives the 'phones an openness that's ideal for listening to binaural recordings. An amazing headphone for the time (1976) and even for an electrostatic of the time.
General Description of the Sound
ECR-500 is a warm mid-centric sounding headphone with an excellent, detailed head-stage and natural tonal balance. Transient response is very good due to its large yet lightweight diaphragm. Unlike most electrostatic headphones from the mid-1970s, ECR-500 produces extended, deep bass that is at the same time well-defined and detailed. Detail retrieval is overall less than that of the best later non-electret electrostatics such as the SR-Lambda but is on a par with many good modern dynamic headphones.
The headphone's true strength is its ability to portray sounds that seem to originate outside the skull, in particular sounds recorded binaurally.
ECR-500's presentation is very smooth without any harshness or strain, and this, together with good comfort from the circumaural earpads, makes them very good for that relaxed late-night listing session.

ECR-500 Disassembly Instructions
Gaining access to the fronts of the ECR drivers is as easy as any headphone; pull the pads off and it's a matter of removing a few screws that hold the baffles in place. In order to remove the drivers fully, however, you may want to get at the rear of the drivers which is a little more tricky. To do so get a flat head screw driver -preferably one with the biggest, dullest head you can find- and place it between the Black driver housing and Silver finished trim piece as seen in the picture below. Apply rotational force between the pieces by turning the screwdriver in your hand. You may want to repeat this a few times at different locations around the circumference of the trim piece in order to ease it off. As seen in the photograph below there's a Copper retaining piece inside the trim which glue was applied to during assembly. The glue has most likely caused this Copper piece to corrode to some degree so expect some amount of flaky gunk to fall out as you pry the trim off. With the trim removed you can pull the wires off the metal tabs which extend from the driver, feed the tabs back through their slots in the driver housing, and remove the driver completely.
