OK, my husband and I are thinking of names for our baby girl, and we both really like Bailey Jane, but our last name is Scott. So her initals will be BJS...both "BJ" and "BS" can have bad meanings....how big of a deal is it do y'all think?
How big of a deal are initials?
Mommy to Daniel 5-5-06, Mann 5-7-07, & Emma Jo 4-25-09
Wife to Seth 12-17-05
Personally I wouldn't do it. I think having BJ, BS and BJS is just too awful, sorry! But then again I am big into monogramming! If you aren't then it wouldn't be as big of a deal.
Sometimes initials just happen to spell something out (my son's initials are SAM, and Dh's are JAM) It's not always a big deal.
However, when the initials spell out something with strong sexual or profanity related associations (such as BJ or BS) I would not do it. Kid's can be cruel- and they learn about these things a lot sooner than one would expect. I wouldn't set my child up for that kind of teasing.
If you really like Bailey- what about one of (many) similar sounding names?
Hailey (Haley)
Kaylee (Kailey, Kaylie, Kayley)
Mary-Catherine, wife to John, mom to Sian Alasdair and Fiona Cathleen
I wanted to add that BS doesn't bother me nearly as much as BJ or BJS. I think you can keep Bailey but I would definitely change the middle name
How about:
Bailey Anne
Bailey Elizabeth
Bailey Rose
Bailey Grace
Bailey Eve
Bailey Iris
Bailey Alice
Bailey Claire
Bailey Louise
Bailey Olivia
Bailey Paige
Bailey Quinn
Thanks for all of the ideas! I really agree, but DH doesn't think initials are a big deal at all. I will run some of y'all's name ideas by him and see if he likes something else! Thanks so much!
Mommy to Daniel 5-5-06, Mann 5-7-07, & Emma Jo 4-25-09
Wife to Seth 12-17-05
I really think it's a bad idea. Many times at school, teachers will use a students initials on things. I would not want ANYTHING of mine to have "BJ", "BJS", or "BS" imprinted on them.
I know someone who avoided the initials MF (m*ther f####r).
"Follow your own path and let people talk." ~ Dante
I grew up with the initials VD and was teased a lot for it. I couldn't wait to get married and change my last name just to get rid of my initials! IMO, I wouldn't do it.
Good Luck!
haha, well I'm a BS. Or I was until I got married. I can assure you that no one noticed or ever said anything. In fact, I was usually the one joking around about it. Of course that may be different for someone else, but I survived wonderfully with BS initials
(btw, my "real" initials were RS, but no one knew my name wasn't Becky, I even wrote BS on stuff where we needed to initial)
Growing 'em right since 2007
Have to agree with most here ... I think that particular set is rough! Definitely no monograms for her Although, mongramming aside, young kids won't know, and adults are *mostly* mature enough to not care. So it really may only matter for a handful of years, but those can be brutal years.
Personally I'd avoid it. I love some of the other suggestions though! My niece is Bailey Dawn, Dawn being a family name.
Haha. Before I was married I was SNB. Now I am SNM... It sounds bad if you just say it.
I wouldn't knowingly do that to your daughter. If you thought of it, chances are others will too!
I love my baby babes!
I know a Bailey Jane who's last name starts with an S, as far as I know she hasn't had any major problems with it. If it is your favorite name I'd go for it probably.

Voracious this year asked local food producers to provide their favorite Thanksgiving recipes. We'll run one recipe each day through Nov. 23; if you collect them all, you'll have a complete feast.
Chris Sisco
Many Thanksgiving hosts greet their guests with cocktails, but Sound Spirits' Steven Stone is a firm believer in the welcoming powers of punch.
"It's pretty yummy," Stone says of his recipe for Hot Gin Punch, which he adapted from Drinking With Dickens, a drinks guide written by Charles Dickens' great-grandson.
Like the punch, Stone's Ebb + Flow gin has British roots. His very secret gin recipe is based on a recipe he found in a nineteenth-century British distilling manual.
"You can't just Google a gin recipe," says Stone, who in 2010 opened Seattle's first distillery since Prohibition.
Stone initially experimented with gin recipes of his own devising, but was disappointed with the results. "I tried creating one from scratch for a really long time," he says. "I made some really good ones, but not great ones."
While the potential of the salvaged British gin recipe was immediately apparent, it took Stone four years of tweaking to produce the spirit he wanted to make. He now manufactures gin, vodka - "made from 100 percent Washington barley, so that's pretty unique," Stone points out - and is readying to release an aquavit after Christmas.
Mixing a punch, Stone says, isn't very different from cooking a green bean casserole.
"It all depends on your skill in managing flavors," he says.
Home bartenders working with Stone's recipe should have a head start on the flavor balancing act, he says.
"It's pretty balanced, spice and sweet," he says. "Even the pineapple is brilliant."
Ebb+Flow Hot Gin Punch
3 teacups of Ebb+Flow Gin
3 teacups of Madeira wine
3 cloves
Pinch of grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder
2 teaspoons of brown sugar
6 large lemon and orange twists
Small slice of orange
1 fresh pineapple
4 large spoons of honey
Juice of 2 lemons
Mix all the ingredients in saucepan and place on the heat. Let the mixture simmer without boiling for 20 -30 minutes. While it cooks balance the sweet/sour taste with honey and lemon to your taste. You can also re-warm the mix; the punch arguably gets better and better the longer it simmers.
When you're satisfied with the mixture, pour into a teapot and serve hot in tea cups. Alternatively, serve form a traditional punch bowl.

Chinese Dreams
Why is Kissinger so reverential and nostalgic about China?
In the last chapters, retracing the years since he left office, Kissinger still tries to plant himself center-stage—and still pays tribute to Chinese leaders whom he portrays operating on a lofty plane well above the mundane concerns of ordinary politicians. As he compares visits to China today with those of four decades ago, he emphasizes the subtlety of the government's diplomacy, even though some of its recent actions concerning the South China Sea and even Norway (which gave Liu Xiaobo the Nobel Peace Prize) seem more heavy-handed than subtle. "What has not changed significantly," he marvels, "is the meticulous preparation, the complexity of the argumentation, the capacity for long-range planning, and the subtle sense of the intangible."
Meanwhile, the Chinese people are determinedly civic-minded and public-spirited in Kissinger's portrait: "Among the many extraordinary aspects of the Chinese people," he writes, "is the manner in which many of them have retained a commitment to their society regardless of how much agony and injustice it may have inflicted on them." This is a romantic stereotype that dates back to the 1970s, when China was first opening up, and visitors would report that if they left a used razor blade in a hotel room, a hall attendant would rush down the hall to return it to them. It is out of touch with today's China, where private interests often overwhelm wider social loyalties. Not a few Chinese people fear for the safety of their food, health, or pensions precisely because of the society-be-damned greed of others who pollute, dilute, or cheat.
Kissinger's account will have no trouble passing muster with any Chinese vetters, and thanks to an increasingly affluent middle-class readership in China, that spells a potential for lots of book sales. But there is another, more charitable interpretation of Kissinger's interest in a Chinese readership. He seems increasingly anxious about where the United States and China are headed and is eager to prevent any future confrontation. In his epilogue, he recounts how the rise of Germany in the 19th century led to World War I and examines the possibility that this history may repeat itself with the rise of China. He warns about nationalistic Chinese "triumphalists" who believe the United States is in decline. And he frets about Americans who want to build up military power for what they believe to be an inevitable conflict with China.
Kissinger has been trying to convey his views to American audiences for nearly a half-century. He has generally succeeded in persuading other American presidents and secretaries of state not to stray too far from the path he set in the 1970s. This time, it appears, he seeks to reach a mass Chinese audience as well with a plea for continued cooperation with the United States. Although Kissinger admits to a degree of pessimism about the chances for success, he still offers hope: "Every great achievement was a vision before it became a reality," he writes. His own view of China, however, is now four decades old, and these days new the leaders of a more assertive China seem to be taking the country further and further away from his vision. Kissinger long ago created a new reality, but now his edifice is crumbling. Perhaps it's no wonder he's nostalgic.

Cooking & Eating Habits
NEW YORK, Feb. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue: Cooking & Eating Habits http://www.reportlinker.com/p01093057/Cooking--Eating-Habits.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Food Executive SummaryThis Key Note Market Assessment analyses consumer cooking and eating habits which have emerged over the past few years, as well as trends that are likely to arise in the near future. Key issues discussed include lifestyle; ethnicity; the environment and sustainability; food supply and the food chain; religious and cultural beliefs; celebrity culture and the media; and awareness of diet and health-related issues surrounding food.The increasing number of people now leading busy lives, juggling work commitments, leisure and family time, has had a significant effect on cooking and eating habits in recent years. This has resulted in rising demand for convenience food products, such as snacks, pre-prepared food packs and convenience meals, which allow consumers to prepare and cook food in a quick and easy manner, with little effort involved. Consequently, mealtimes have become increasingly fragmented, with many consumers eating on-the-go and in informal settings or at unusual times. Traditional dinner formalities, which usually involved families sitting round the dinner table together eating food prepared by mums, has become considerably less prevalent and many families now eat at much later times in the evening, often in front of the television and separate from each other. The added reliance on convenience has also driven demand for fast food and casual dining experiences within the restaurant sector, which have also become more popular following the ongoing economic instability in the UK; as such, dining establishments are often cheaper or offer discount meals at reduced prices. However, this increasing reliance on convenience food products, along with the rising popularity of fast food, is one of the factors thought to be contributing to the high levels of obesity currently affecting the UK, with around 60% of the population now estimated to be either overweight or obese, according to the most recent figures published by the National Health Service (NHS). The growing concern regarding obesity, along with the health problems that the condition often causes, such as diabetes type 2, heart disease and stroke, high blood pressure and, in some cases, cancer, has resulted in the introduction of a number of Government-led initiatives to tackle obesity. These have included continued investment in the Change4Life scheme, which provides advice and tips on healthy diets and exercise; the implementation of the Public Health Responsibility Deal in 2011, which urged food operators to sign up and pledge to reduce salt, sugar and fats, and introduce calorie labelling on their products; and the continued efforts by the Government to improve school meals in order to provide healthier and more nutritious meals to schoolchildren. The growing concern regarding obesity has also boosted consumer demand for healthier food products, particularly healthy snack and convenience meals. This trend is expected to continue well into the future, with food manufacturers and retailers likely to step up their investment in developing healthier food products and pre-prepared meals.The ongoing financial difficulties currently being experienced in the UK have also had a significant impact on cooking and eating habits in recent years, with many consumers now opting for value or own-brand products in a bid to save money and reduce household expenditure. Consequently, supermarkets have invested significant amounts in their private-label product lines, which have become increasingly sophisticated in recent years in response to demand for foods which provide value for money. The restaurant market has also responded to growing consumer demand for cheaper meal options by introducing discount vouchers or meal deal offers, while fast-food chains have continued to remain popular due to their cheap menu offerings.

April 29, 2016
North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue says copies of the Highway Patrol's internal affairs investigation of missing flight records of former Gov. Mike Easley's travels are confidential and can't be released.
Perdue said Tuesday she's been told the probe is privileged information in the eye of state law. Her comment was in response to a reporter's question about the report.
The report and an earlier patrol inquiry examined how records on Easley's travels in 2005 went missing. Both found that a patrol supervisor had not intentionally removed or destroyed the records.
Crime Control Secretary Reuben Young declined to release the second report late last week.
The records are part of broader state and federal investigation into activities involving Easley and former first lady Mary Easley.

Po' KittiesPublished 9:13am Wednesday, February 13, 2013
To the editor:
I attended the county commissioner's meeting on Feb. 4 because trapping was on the agenda. I'm opposed to legalizing trapping in Polk County. Our wildlife officer, Toby Jenkins, flanked by two state biologists, was invited to make a presentation, clearly pro-trapping. Where were the "experts" opposed to trapping? Why weren't anti-trapping biologists invited to speak? What, exactly, was the purpose of having this presentation if not to oppose the citizens who filled the room who are clearly against trapping, marked by defining red ribbons?
Perhaps our wildlife officer was there to threaten "Po' Kitties," which I understand is a local group who humanely traps, spays or neuters feral cats, and then returns them to their habitat. Mr. Jenkins pointed out that the humane traps used by Po' Kitties are illegal. Apparently, he has previously never enforced the law that could put a stop to this very selfless endeavor–possibly because it benefits the community by controlling the feral cat population and reducing the financial burden on local animal control. If he has never prosecuted Po' Kitties before, then why bring it up now — at a time when the animal community is speaking out against the commissioners' decision? It certainly sounded like a threat to me.

I am working on a customer's system where the requirement is to store a lot of timeseries data from different sensors.
For performance reasons we are going to use SSD, and therefore there is a list of requirements for the architecture:
Looking on these requirements I actually think that TokuDB might be a good fit for this task.
There are several aspects to consider. This time I want to compare TokuDB vs InnoDB on an initial load time and space consumption.
Let's assume the schema is following
CREATE TABLE `sensordata` (
`ts` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`sensor_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
`data1` double NOT NULL,
`data2` double NOT NULL,
`data3` double NOT NULL,
`data4` double NOT NULL,
`data6` double NOT NULL,
`cnt` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`sensor_id`,`ts`)
sensor_id is in a range from 1 to about 1000 and
ts is monotonically increasing timestamp.
This schema exploits both TokuDB and InnoDB clustering primary key, and all inserts are "almost" sequential, which guarantee that all inserts will not require disk access and work with data in memory.
The same for SELECTS – select queries on the most recent time periods will be executed only by a memory access.
I am doing this research on the Dell PowerEdge R420 box with 48GB of memory (40GB for InnoDB buffer pool size, and default memory allocation for TokuDB, which is 24GB for tokudb cache). The storage is a very fast PCI-e Flash card.
The test export CSV file, suitable for LOAD DATA INFILE is 40GB in size and contains over 1 bln records (188.8.131.528 exactly)
MySQL Versions:
So, first, let's load data into InnoDB, again, I am using
LOAD DATA INFILE statement
Now for TokuDB:
So TokuDB is the obvious leader in both load time and compression. Of course just these are not enough, and now we need to see the performance of further INSERTs and SELECTs queries. This is what I am running right now and will post the results when I have them.
Dell PowerEdge R420, InnoDB, SSD, timeseries data, TokuDB, Vadim Tkachenko
Very interesting results ! It is interesting what for Innodb the overhead of compression (in terms of CPU probably) is so large – where enabling compression adds whole 2 hours for this data. You did not test TokuDB without compression but we can see it is able to compress all this data and get it loaded doing all file IO needed in around 30 minutes giving much better compression.
I assume some of this relates to TokuDB being able to use multi cores for compression while Innodb does not and as such if we use some parallel load/insert process performance difference might be smaller ? Did you look at this by chance ?
The cost of splitting nodes and re-compression because of key_block_size misses can be quite substantial, as the time it took to get 4K shows.
I think there are several factors contributing to such big time difference.
First, you are correct, LOAD DATA is highly optimized in TokuDB and able to load data in parallel.
With simple INSERTS the difference will be smaller.
Now also the data size is important. I am not sure how TokuDB handles compression, but for InnoDB both
compressed and uncompressed pages are stored in buffer pool, which decrease available memory for InnoDB operations.
awesome, I like posts like that with benchmarks/numbers and some real world usage example
Just curious if you have looked into some NoSQL solutions for storage and query of time series data. I have been using OpenTSDB (http://opentsdb.net/) which leverages HBase and Hadoop, and have seen very good performance. Elasticsearch also seems to be at least dipping their toe into the possibility of storage of time series data. It would be interesting to see how these solutions compare to TokuDB and InnoDB.
Additional things that might be interesting to consider with respect to the query capability is downsampling as well as dealing with sensors that return counter values, where the value of the data is in the rate calculation as opposed to the returned value. The value of these capabilities depends highly on your use cases and sensors, but perhaps something to consider.
How about online backups in TokuDB?
@FernandoMattera, online backups are available in the TokuDB Enterprise Edition, more information and downloads are available at http://www.tokutek.com/products/downloads/enterprise-edition-downloads/
Yes, I considered OpenTSDB and Kairosdb, and Cassandra by itself.
These may be viable solutions, but there more questions to consider from app and ops points of view.
You saw there already a question on backup. so admins should be trained to perform backups of OpenTSDB.
The same for monitoring and performance troubleshooting. From what I saw Cassandra is very far yet from being problem-free.
And the same for app developers. There is still a big entry barrier to switch from SQL based apps to NoSQL.
Additionally I think both OpenTSDB and Kairosdb are not quite flexible for different schemas. Not that it can't be done, but I was not able to figure it out in reasonable time.
Now I also saw a message Cassandra sends is "disk is cheap, denormalize everything, if the same data stored several times – no problem", which is exactly contrary to what I am trying to achieve with SSD.
So one thing to another, I am not saying that OpenTSDB / NoSQL are not suitable to store timeseries, but in this particular case I am working with, they seem less preferable.
Another backup solution we consider is LVM-snapshot backups.
In future I may play with btrfs and zfs-for-linux filesystems and their snapshots.
Actually what else can be a good fit for this task is some column based storage like InfoBright or InfiniDB.
The main concern with these is that they are analytic oriented, that means that SELECTs still will be fast,
but probably not that fast as with InnoDB/TokuDB.
But this is something to try, I may actually do it.
Do you split the 40GB CSV data file and load them in parallel using multi connections?
If there is only single connection to execute LOAD DATA INFILE, then InnoDB will not suffer from random IO because there is no secondary index on the table, and all inserts are "almost" sequential, as you mentioned. I want to know why TokuDB can run faster than InnoDB.
BTY, from your coment:
> LOAD DATA is highly optimized in TokuDB and able to load data in parallel.
could you give more detail of LOAD DATA optimization in TokuDB against InnoDB.
TokuDB uses a bulk loader when bulk inserting into an empty table. The bulk loader gathers up all of the rows to be inserted in a bunch of temp files and then executes a multi-phase merge sort of the temp files. The data in the temp files are sorted by a in memory sort prior to writing the temp files. This in memory sort is fast since LOTS of rows are being sorted. The final merge sort phase writes out fractal tree files. All of the compression of the blocks in the fractal tree files is highly parallel.
We originally intended a lot more parallelism in the TokuDB bulk loader than is there today. For example, the in memory sorts could be parallelized, and the merge sort could also be parallelized. It is nice to know that even without this level of parallelism, the bulk load speed is still good.
Thanks for explanations! Indeed it would be interesting to see how performance changes if you do inserts (ie as per mysqldump) and how does the size and performance change in this case – I'd expect it can cause more overhead and fragmentation
Would you consider doing the same test with MyISAM (although I would bet TokuDB would clearly be the winner here)?
I have an almost identical schema for finance data (i.e. code/at/open/high/low/close/volume) and found that INSERTs for MyISAM were a lot faster than InnoDB. However the frequency of table corruption with MyISAM (at least one a week) made me move to InnoDB.
The real question that needs to be answered is when is TokuDB going to be integrated into Percona mainline 5.5?
I have no plans to test MyISAM, as this is something I'd never use in production systems.
We have no plans to integrate TokuDB with Percona Server 5.5, but we may do this for Percona Server 5.6 and this may happen this year.
Crap, given the performance issues the 5.6 branch has been having, I was going to delay using it until next year sometime.
Following Brian's question, do you plan to incorporate Tokudb with Xtradb Cluster in the future?
Adjusting TokuDB to support clustering environment requires a lot of fixes inside TokuDB,
and at this moment only Tokutek has enough expertise to do that.
So this question is totally to Tokutek team what is their plan regarding clustering.
I have used the ARCHIVE storage engine with *many* tables for non production critical timeseries data, a high compression ratio, high insertion rate and low memory footprint was required. The data was daily linux process accounting data which was in parallel bulk loaded once per day per host into a hostname_yyyymmdd specific table, typically read only a few times with full table scans to aggregate data before being dropped after X days. I expect the sensor data needs to be loaded more frequently than once per day and that there are several other reasons why the ARCHIVE storage engine would not be suitable (SELECT response time requirement for one), but the comments about optimizing bulk loading (in my case into empty tables) in parallel and compression operating on large chunks struck a chord. I found the space consumption and initial load time using *many* ARCHIVE tables in parallel (for my usage pattern and requirements) very compelling. At the time TokuDB was not an option for me, but I have tested it for other projects and have been very impressed.
My experiece with LOAD DATA on TokuDB shows that when table is already loaded it is *slower* to some extent than InnoDB. Still need to understand why.
Parallelizing LOAD DATA for same InnoDB table is bad; I tried this recently with obvious results: a LOT longer than single threaded. I did not try the same on TokuDB as yet.
I also used ARCHIVE tables twice (they were already existing in customers DBs). In both cases I very quickly ran into table corruption. ARCHIVE and MyISAM are a big NO in my dictionary for data you care about.
I also get the same conclusion that TokuDB slow down then load speed when the table is not empty. For example, the time cost to load 1,500,000 row from file to table is 41s, while the time is 1min 22s to load the same data to the same table.
It dosn't help to set the read_buffer_size to a much larger value, say 512m.
From the TokuDB document, MySQL uses normal load data instead of parallel one when the table is not empty. I was wondering if there is any other setting to speed up loading to the not-empty table.
@Kaifeng, TokuDB implements a bulk-loader when loading into an empty table. The bulk-loader is creating Fractal Tree indexes directly (outside of MySQL), and is therefore much faster than loading into a table containing data. I do not understand what you mean by your read_buffer_size comment, that appears to be a MyISAM variable.
Lastly, the performance of inserting into non-empty TokuDB tables is driven by the schema of the table and the tuples themselves, meaning:
Schema: if the table's PK is auto-increment and there are no unique secondary indexes, insertions will be fast (and require no I/O except for logging and/or fsyncs). Batching several inserts per transaction or using multiple concurrent insert clients will go even faster.
Tuples: (and this is where Vadim's example schema is affecting the insertion performance of TokuDB). If the table has a declared primary key (and non-auto-increment) and/or a unique secondary index, then the tuples must arrive in a "right-most" pattern for TokuDB to avoid I/O and thus be fast. Vadim declared his primary key to be (
ts), and since sensor data is arriving from all sensors simultaneously this becomes a "random" insertion pattern. Each arriving tuple is likely to end up anywhere in the bottom level of the tree. By switching the primary key order to be (
sensor_id) then all arriving tuples are arriving on the right side of the tree, which is easy to keep in memory and avoid I/O.
I hope this helps describe the performance and behavior of TokuDB.
I got the same results:
1. load data into an empty TokuDB table is much faster than InnoDB tables
2. when split the LARGE data file(500 million rows, auto_increment primary key, no unique keys) into several segments(1 million rows per segment) and load one by one(to avoid the "Multi-statement transaction required more than 'max_binlog_cache_size' bytes of storage" error), the load speed of the first segment is much faster than InnoDB, but the remained segments are loaded much slower than InnoDB, results: http://www.gpfeng.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/load_innodb_vs_tokudb.jpg
@gpfeng.cs, I'm not sure I understand the use-case that your benchmark simulates. In #2, are you creating any secondary indexes at all? TokuDB's real insertion performance advantage is seen when you have non-unique secondary indexes _and_ your working set of data is larger than RAM. Based on the information you provided I assume that was not present in your test.
Also, in your test were you using InnoDB compression or not? If so, what was the difference in compression achieved? If not, I'd be interested in seeing the performance difference when InnoDB compression is enabled.
@Tim Callaghan
There is no secondary index at all in #2, only auto_increment primary key exists, and compression is not used. InnoDB will not suffer from random IO in this scenario, what really confused me is that TokuDB performs well at the beginning but falls behind InnoDB when loading the remaining segments, and now I know that it benefits from the "LOAD DATA optimization" in TokuDB and only the first file can be loaded more efficiently.
@gpfeng.cs, Then my last question is whether or not you are using InnoDB compression in this example (and does compression matter to your use-case). If your not using compression and have no secondary indexes, then there are no advantages to using TokuDB for your use-case. Our Fractal Tree indexes are ideal for maintaining non-unique secondary indexes, allowing better query performance as more indexes exist.
… However, you could to add the following to your benchmark …
Let the data get large, and "alter table sensordata add column data7 double null;". TokuDB's hot schema change functionality will give you the column immediately. With InnoDB choose one of the following:
(1) get a nice big system maintenance window, as the table is now read only during the rebuild
(2) use an online schema change tool and watch the performance of your insertion workload take a nose-dive as a new table is created in the background
(3) disconnect a slave, perform this operation on the slave (and wait for the table to be rebuilt), catch up to the master, switch slave to master and master to slave, …
The bottom line is, TokuDB excels at Performance (maintaining secondary indexes, support for clustering secondary indexes, and more), Compression, and Agility (hot add/drop/expand columns, hot add indexes).
@Tim Callaghan
Thanks for your kind reply.
I konw that TokuDB is a write-optimized storage engine, the b-tree with buffers, which I can summarize from the implementation of the Fractal Tree in TokuDB can help transform random IO to sequential IO(another saying: delay small write until lots of writes have been gathered) with the cost of read performance.
I have used the iiBench tool to verify that, the insert performance(with 3 non-unique secondary indexes) remains pretty good for TokuDB when the table becomes huge, and hot schema change(add/delete columns) is really attractive.
In my LOAD DATA test, data can't be loaded once, and no secondary index is created, I just want to figure out the load performance between InnoDB(no compression) and TokuDB when I heard that TokuDB has done some optimizations on LOAD DATA.
Fair enough. TokuDB's bulk-loader can only be used by the "LOAD DATA" command when the target table is empty. Our bulk-loader sorts the data and builds the Fractal Tree indexes outside of MySQL which cannot be done if the table already contains data.
And for the jointure?

Ignite has a new home
Brady Forrest's new public benefit corporation will nurture Ignite.
Ignite, the worldwide network of geek events that promise to "Enlighten us, but make it quick," is now under the aegis of Ignite Talks PBC.
Brady Forrest, who started Ignite back in 2006 with Bre Pettis, has launched this new public benefit corporation to grow and nurture Ignite, a move that makes all of us at O'Reilly very happy. It's time for Ignite to leave the O'Reilly fold, and we're certain it will thrive on its own.
Rethinking and redesigning at beta.oreilly.com
O'Reilly's new beta site puts the focus on learning and ideas.
Some while back, we realized that O'Reilly is really in the education business — very specifically, the self-education and self-improvement business. People read our books, come to our events, and watch our videos because they need new skills and have the discipline and initiative to seek them out on their own. In a lot of ways, the history of the company has been searching out new ways to achieve the same goal, which 15 years ago I articulated as "changing the world by spreading the knowledge of innovators."
That goal requires us to notice the ideas and technologies that are new and important; to find the people who have figured out how to make the most of those technologies; and of the people who've figured it out, to discover who has the willingness and the ability to invest in helping others to follow in their footsteps. Over time, pursuit of our goal has also required us to learn how to write, edit, publish, and distribute books; to run events that bring people together to learn from each other; and (more recently), to develop video training courses and other online learning products.
We aren't the only ones who've noticed that O'Reilly is a learning company. I was delighted to see oreilly.com chosen as the #1 online course provider, ahead of MOOCs, video training companies, and others who explicitly position themselves as training providers. I like to think that the breadth of ways that we give people to learn — print, video, in-person, and interactive online — is unique because it doesn't restrict itself to people who have one single learning style.
All of this is by way of explaining the redesign that we're rolling out at beta.oreilly.com. Over the years, we'd let oreilly.com become mostly a front end for ecommerce, selling access to books and videos and conference seats, with a dose of reporting and advocacy on the side. Read more…
Safari for Schools: Free O'Reilly material for K-12
Safari is offering O'Reilly books and videos for free to every K-12 student and teacher in the U.S.
This past February, Tim O'Reilly brought me into an email thread with the White House with a straightforward but urgent request — could Safari provide the delivery mechanism to make all of O'Reilly Media's titles available to every K–12 student in America? Commitments to the President's "ConnectED" program were lined up from a number of software, hardware, and networking companies, but connected devices would be much more useful with content included. We're proud that we were able to say yes to something so important — and on such short notice.
It made sense for Safari to deliver on O'Reilly's commitment, as our business is providing online access to thousands of the best books and training courses to companies and organizations of all sizes. But as we started unpacking the particulars, we uncovered more complexity than we expected. For example, there are tens of thousands of school districts across the country, each with their own IT infrastructure. It simply wouldn't scale if providing access to every student also meant working directly with every school or district. Compliance with a set of regulations designed to protect children's privacy (known as COPPA) meant that we couldn't simply open up our standard platform to students.
Constraints can be wonderful in focusing attention, and fortunately the outstanding team at Safari was up for the challenge. By September 1, we had quietly opened up a beta site where any high school student could apply for access to the full collection of O'Reilly books and videos.
In conjunction with today's White House event promoting "Future Ready Schools," I'm thrilled to say that we have delivered on the pledge to make the full catalog of O'Reilly books and videos available for free to any K–12 student in America, more than a month ahead of our original January 2015 promise.
O'Reilly purchases Pearson's stake in Safari
Safari Books Online is now a wholly owned subsidiary of O'Reilly Media.
I'm pleased to share some exciting news. On Friday, August 1st, O'Reilly purchased Pearson Education's 50% ownership share of our Safari Books Online joint venture, and Safari is now a wholly owned subsidiary of O'Reilly Media, Inc.
O'Reilly believes strongly in the direction Safari is heading, and we came to believe that there are substantial opportunities for both organizations working much more closely together. O'Reilly is primarily a media company (books, events, online in-person and video training, expert network), and Safari has the technology, sales, and distribution channel for bringing content to the widest audience possible, especially a B2B audience.
Going forward, O'Reilly and Safari will work together to create new features and products, but Safari will continue to operate as an independent entity, as it did when jointly owned by O'Reilly and Pearson. There are no changes in Safari's products, staffing, offices, or operations. The Safari brand and domains remain the same, and Pearson will remain a key strategic content partner of Safari. All their current materials remain available, and their future books and videos will be added to the service. Read more…
Radar gets a refresh
Radar is rolling out a new editorial approach and a responsive design.
Today we're excited to roll out a number of important updates that refine Radar's content and freshen up the site's design.
A new approach
The most notable change is also the least obvious.
In the months ahead, Radar's editorial mission will evolve through our exploration of new topics and new techniques. Of particular note is our theme structure, which helps us interpret important ideas and developments and, in turn, share how we believe they'll affect you and your world. You'll soon see insightful posts from all of our content leads that put our best thinking into these essential areas.
There's also things you won't find here at Radar. Generic tech news and flavor-of-the-moment coverage don't have a place, nor are we interested in bombast or drive-by attention.
What we're really looking to do is create and nurture a dialogue; a true give-and-take that challenges our assumptions and shapes our perspectives. To pull that off we need your help. So consider this an open invitation to take us to task and point us in new directions. Read more…
Self-directed learning, and O'Reilly's role in the ConnectED program
I wanted to provide a bit of perspective on the donation, announced on Wednesday by the White House, of a Safari Books Online subscription providing access to O'Reilly Media books, videos, and other educational content to every high school in the country.
First off, this came up very suddenly, with a request from the White House that reached me only on Monday, as the White House and Department of Education were gearing up to Wednesday's announcement about broadband and iPads in schools. I had a followup conversation with David Edelman, a young staffer who taught himself programming by reading O'Reilly books when in middle school, and launched a web development firm while in high school. He made the case that connectivity alone, without content, wasn't all it could be. And he thought of his own experience, and he thought of us.
So we began brainstorming if there were any way we could donate a library of O'Reilly ebooks to every high school in the country. Fortunately, there may be a relatively easy way for us to do that, via Safari Books Online, the subscription service we launched in 2000 in partnership with the Pearson Technology Group. Safari already offers access to corporations and colleges in addition to individuals, so we should be able to work out some kind of special library as part of this offering. Read more…

My retina MacBook Pro has had terrible graphics performance problems for a couple of weeks. I searched all over various forums and tried everything: resetting SCM, manually selecting discrete/integrated graphics card, deleting graphics kexts, etc. Nothing helped until I found this: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19880198#19880198
Now my rMBP has silky smooth graphics again!
The directions in that post are a little hard to understand so I cleaned them up here:
Step 1: Delete system windowserver preferences
- In the Finder, from the menu bar, select "Go -> Go to Folder..."
- Enter: /Library/Preferences/
- Delete the file called com.apple.windowserver.plist
Step 2: Delete user windowserver preferences
- In the Finder, from the menu bar, select "Go -> Go to Folder..."
- Enter: ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/
- Delete all files that start with com.apple.windowserver (On my rMBP, there was one file called com.apple.windowserver.12AFB147-95D6-5C70-8F62-C1E4F2BE81BE)
Step 3: Reset the PRAM
(These instructions are from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379)
- Shut down your Mac.
- Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
- Turn on the computer.
- Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
- Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
- Release the keys.
Hopefully this helps others with bad graphics performance on retina MacBook Pros.
For anyone that wants to check out the problematic plists from my rMBP, here are the files:

Major major problem: my brand new 15" retina MacBook suddenly operates extremely slow. So slow I can't get anything done, and startup takes forever. I've noticed that if I sleep it, and wake it up, it operates at normal speed for about 10 seconds, then massively slows down. The fans come on full speed. Activity monitor cpu graph shows that 'system' is running over 105%, but I cannot identify which process it is, because no process takes up more than 5%. I have tried resetting the pram. I have done all dial repair procedures. I have force quit all apps and all threads that I can see. Still nothing. I'm panicking. Latest osx, all software updates. The slowness starts at login. Please help!
I've tried all of the above, but no change..

The issue has gotten so bad that now I need to reset at least once a day in order to use the computer.
And the thing is... the mbp is my secondary "leisure" computer I have when working on the mac pro. So besdies having safari and adium open, it's literarily not doing anything else and this issue happens when I step out and come back a few hours later (or leave it on overnight).

Ok. I have a 15 inch retina on order and just found out about all these issues regarding slowdowns because of the 1.0 EFI update. I'm very worried about performace. I'll be editing a lot of video and really need this laptop to work at full tilt.
Has anyone heard of news about a new EFI update with this model?

I am on my fourth MBPr.
The first just locked up and I couldn't set up iCloud without it freezing - even after a reinstall - only had it for a day.
The second and third both had the SMC reset problem (the second one also had a lot of dead pixels and made a strange grinding noise and the third one was also about 4-5mm out where the casing lined up with the base).
So far (it's been about two months) the fourth one has not needed SMC resets (although the casing is about 1-2mm out where the casing lines up with the base).
So I can only assume from my personal experience this is not, as I had originally thought, a fault accross the line but is in fact a fault found in a number of machines but not others. Unless Apple brought out a fix between my exchange of my third and fourth machine.
I can only suggest repeatedly asking for an exchange on machines until you get one that works or Apple realise how much money it's costing them and produce a fix for the machines that are affected.

Ok, let me add my experience to this annoying issue.
Yersterday I went to the Palo Alto Store and got my Macbook Pro Retina checked at the genius bar. The guy ran the standard tests like hard drive, memory and so on.
As soon as he checked my serial number and that basically I explained to him that my retina MBP was so slow at some times he inmediatly said: "We know about this problem, we have it already documented, and your serial number is on that batch". Then he said: "We still have no solution to provide, but we will keep you posted, or we will update soon any info about it online".
My concern is my warranty, and should be yours too. And you guys should just basically do the same: go to the Apple store, complain about this, and get your serial number checked.
I'm a long time Mac user and you know the rule: NEVER BUY A FIRST GENERATION PRODUCT FROM APPLE. Truth is, I ALWAYS buy first generation and I've never had such a terrible experience like this before. This is my 30th mac (or maybe even more, I'm not couting) and it's been a mess. Buying a "high end" computer with retina monitor to get horrible performance with "10fps" epic moments is not cool. This is the first time I feel like "I prefer to work on my old 2011 MacBook Air than this thing" and I'm really upset about their answer: "there's currently no solution about this problem" doesn't fix my problem.
Apple, fix this thing already, or just replace the god **** computers already if you are aware of this "small problem".

"The cast hates me," says local performer Andy Davis during a recent rehearsal break. "Our first cast meeting, they were introducing us all and I said, 'Yeah, I'm playing Potter ... ,' and everybody booed."
So why is Davis so happy about it?
Probably because the Potter he's playing is the hateful, wheelchair-bound Henry Potter of Bedford Falls, and the show he's rehearsing for is the Quad City Music Guild's production of It's a Wonderful Life: The Musical. Considering people's familiarity with - and love for - the Frank Capra classic of 1946, Davis should only have worried if he didn't get booed.

About halfway through the overture for the Quad City Music Guild's preview performance of The Wizard of Oz, my friend, sporting a huge grin, turned to me and whispered, "I feel like I'm watching the movie." With the thrillingly familiar strains emanating from music director Valeree Pieper's splendid orchestra, I agreed completely, and it's fair to say that over the next two-and-three-quarters hours, that feeling almost never waned.

As Belle, the heroine of the Quad City Music Guild's Beauty & the Beast, Jenny Winn is a complete cartoon, and I mean that in the best way possible. It's generally thrilling when performers deviate from the expectations associated with a well-known character, but playing a role exactly the way an audience expects it to be played has its own rewards, and in Beauty & the Beast, Winn gives such a flawless approximation of a living-and-breathing animated figure that you might find it impossible not to stare at her with a big, goofy grin plastered on your face.

I had my first round of act-d today plus I think some steroid and anti nausea meds. I also had a pretty in depth vaginal ultrasound. I have no clue what is causing it but my legs feel weak and tight like they are going to cramp up. It feels similar to if I over do it with squats or running but I barely did anything but sit today. Did anyone have this happen to them? I am not sure if I should be worried and contact my nurse (who I am assuming is gone for the day) or if its normal.

How long did you vaginal US take? When I had a HSG test earlier this year I had to sit with my legs splayed open for prob 20-30 min and my legs were weak for DAYS afterward. My bet is holding that position for the vaginal US. Something your muscles aren't used to.

Hey Sawastar - thanks for responding. It was a a long exam so you might be right. She couldn't find anything so she was looking for at least 30 min to make sure. They are feeling better this morning so fingers crossed that was it. :)
Posted 08/15/2013
Awe I hope you feel better! I had the same problem it has been 3 weeks since my d&c and my legs and hips hurt:( my legs and ankles swelled up so bad. So idk i guess everyone is different.. But when I asked my doc she said because how they had me sitting but idk why it would bother me still? Good luck and let me know what ya find out

I talked to my nurse today and she thinks it was the steroids they gave me before the Act-D. It feels much better today :)

You brush things up to go from a rubbish to mediocre choice amongst a large collection of already superior options grinded in Folrart.

Oh Shi-
And then the world was sad, because there were no didgeridoos.
the mythbusters should explore this!
It's a New Zealand(er) plot!
It's true, a giant dust cloud occupying that space has made it seem as if there was land, but there is not.
Maybe the reason Australia does not exist is because people are not able to buy enough maps.
Haha.. that one was good because… no, wait…
Wait wait…
"Southern Ocean"
What the fuck?
Yeah, that Southern Ocean crap pisses me off too. It's like a bunch of scientists, that never contributed anything useful, got together and decided that they needed to do something to be noticed. This was the best that they could do. It's not like some huge water mass just appeared out of nowhere. Nope, they just redrew some lines and "made" an ocean.
The problem is that no one is reading the map legend – see, it says it's a POLITICAL map, and everyone knows there's no politics in Australia! Therefore, it's not on the map. ¶
but i lives in Australia….
Clearly you don't exist then.
I like australia. It looks fun.
Can I move there?
no no dudes it's right there up by Switzerland

Summary – Precipitating in Central Park
Warm-Up Exercise 1
We have 3 equations: complete chemical equation, complete ionic equation and net ionic equation. The difference between them is that a complete ionic equation shows all the ions that are floating around in the reaction mixture. The Net ionic equation only shows the ions that are participating in the reaction. The spectator ions are left out.
For reaction (II)
Pb (NO3)2 + 2KI -> PbI2+2KNO3
Lead nitrate is soluble, so it gets written as ions. The same goes for potassium iodide and potassium nitrate.
Complete Ionic equation:
2 K+1 + I-1 + Pb2+ + NO32- -> PbI2 + 2K+1 + NO3-1
Net Ionic Equation:
Pb+2 + 2 I-1 -> PbI2
Warm-Up Exercise 2
In this lab you will mix 25 mL of 0.05M lead nitrate with 1.4 mL of 0.025M sodium carbonate. After the reaction occurs, you will filter the solution to remove the precipitate. You will then test the remaining solution for excess lead ion and for excess carbonate ion…
Imagine that you mix the two volumes and then freeze frame the reaction so the it does not proceed:
1. Identify all the ionic species present in the solution before the reaction takes place.
2. Compute the molarity and the number of moles of each ionic species present before the reaction takes place.
After reaction goes to completion:
3. Identify all the ionic species present in solution
4. Compute the molarity and the number of moles of each ionic species present.
5. Clearly predict the results of the experiment by determing which reactant is limiting and which is in excess.
Pb(NO3)2(aq) + Na2CO3(aq) --> PbCO3(s) + 2NaNO3(aq)
1)Before Pb+2(aq) + NO3(aq)- + Na+(aq) + CO3-2(aq)
25 ml of 0.05 mole Pb(NO3)2/1000ml = 0.00125 moles Pb(NO3)2(aq)
Pb(NO3)2(aq) --> Pb+2(aq) + 2NO3-(aq)
0.00250 moles of NO3-(aq)
and 0.00125 moles of Pb+2(aq)
1.4 ml * 0.025 mole Na2CO3/1000ml = 0.000035 moles Na2CO3(aq)...

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

Hi Ladies!
My LO will be 3 yrs old in Aug (Duh!) and I need to get her potty-trained by then b/c we want to start her at a preschool and the ones we are looking at require her to be potty-trained to join the 3yr old class.
What worked for your LO and for those that don't have LOs potty-trained, what worked for you so far to get them to sit on the potty. My DD sits on potty at daycare and she's peeed on potty and even pooped at times, but she won't sit on the potty at home! So hard!!! We think the only way to get her to sit on the potty at home is to bribe her!
I've heard you can't 'rush' potty-training and they'll do it when they are ready. If we can't get her potty-trained by Aug, then we'll have to have her wait another year before going to preschool.
Thanks so much everyone!!!

I am 21 weeks pregnant and it does not look like it. Everyone says I do not look 21 weeks. I know it could be good thing but its annoying to constantly hear "Aren't you supposed to be pregnant"? or "You told me you were pregnant". It makes me feel likea weirdo. Heeeeellllpppp!
I Feel like a pregnant weirdo!
Comments (6)
When i was about 20 weeks someone asked me if i was eating at all, so trust me, I understand where you're coming from. I'm only at 24 weeks now and I'm just starting to get a little bit of a belly. I've gained weight, sure, but you can't really "tell" anything until now. There are some people who pop out right away, and others hardly show at all. I think it just all depends on your body.
My fiances cousin is about 6 weeks ahead of me... I've looked through her pictures throughout her pregnancy and it's just so weird how far off we are. I just now have the belly she had when she was 15 weeks. And I remember seeing her at 20 weeks and she had a belly, I mean like an "obvious I'm pregnant" belly... 20 weeks came and went for me and nothing. Now she is almost 30 weeks and she has this like basketball on the front of her and I know that I probably will not be that big. And honestly, I'm kinda happy about that. Personal note: I lost 30 lbs right before I got pregnant (bad timing, i know!) and I remember what i looked like then and what ihad to endure to get back to what iwas before i started gaining it back. So not gaining a lot is okay with me.
I know that I have heard that a lot of times the frist pregnancy sometimes you cant even see until youre 5 months... while sometimes your second or third you pop right away and gain more weight. The way I see it, as long as he baby is healthy and growing at a good rate, then its okay. But, you're not alone,i sometimes wonder the same stuff.

That can be embarrassing... you should turn it around to make them feel stupid, like umm yeah and it's completely normal for some women not to show until their 5th or 6th month...
I don't know why people think that as soon as someone gets pregnant that their belly automatically blows up like a watermelon... Like are you so serious?...
EDD 22 May 2010!
totally know where you're coming from. I'm 28 weeks and i JUST started showing... i still look more like i ate too much than pregnant really... but at least i don't look as big as some of the other girls that are the same along as i am... towards the end you'll be glad to be small!

Im 6mos, but by looking @ me you wouldnt even be able to tell...I eat all the time, just havent gain much weight yet. Plus every woman's body is different & it also depends on if they already had children or not. Some women blow up right away, while others @ the end, and some may not really show as much throughout the whole pregnancy...so dont feel bad
