Definition of cherimoya in English:
(also chirimoya)
1A tropical American fruit with a flavor like pineapple and scaly green skin.
Example sentences
- In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade attachment, combine the cherimoya, lime juice, and panela and purée until smooth and the sugar is dissolved, about 45 seconds.
- Both atemoya, grown in Florida, and cherimoya, grown in California, have green, leathery skins with either scales or a notched, medallion-like design.
- Initially, they were investigating fruits that appear frequently in the flavours of wines grown in warmer climates, but cherimoya, melon, papaya, passionfruit and banana all proved incompatible with Vitis vinifera.
Mid 18th century: from Spanish, from Quechua, from chiri 'cold or refreshing' + muya 'circle'.

New numbers released today show the unemployment rate in Mesa County continues to climb and has more than doubled from the same time last year.
Mesa County topped out at 8.9 percent last month, up three–tenths of a percent from May.
That's a drastic increase from June of 2008 when the unemployment rate was just over 4 percent.
Mesa County is above the state's June numbers but still lower than the national average of 9.5 percent.
According to the Labor Department Colorado had one of the smallest unemployment increases in the nation between March and June.
Still, the number of Coloradans without jobs is more than 73,000 higher than a year ago.

"Richard Eckstrom should immediately apologize to the students and alumni of South Carolina State University for his uninformed, ignorant, and embarrassing statements earlier today. Those comments demonstrated a severe lack of understanding of our only public, historically black college in South Carolina." said Rutherford.
"As a result of his callous remarks, Mr. Eckstrom has insulted the names of prominent SC State alumni such as Congressman Jim Clyburn, General Abraham Turner, Former State Supreme Court Chief Justice Ernest Finney, Judge Matthew Perry, and the first African-American woman elected to the South Carolina legislature Juanita Goggins. It seems as though Republicans can't get through one week without making an offensive comment directed at African-Americans. I also call on the Republican leaders of South Carolina to condemn Mr. Eckstrom's remarks to show that this kind of ignorance has no place in our political discourse."President Thomas Elzey called Wednesday's 3-1 vote a lifeline that will help the state's only public historically black university continue to tread water. He had requested a nearly $14 million to pay bills that began piling up in October. The loan allows the university to pay its oldest bills while others continue to go unpaid as school officials seek money from the Legislature. The resolution directs the university to spend up to $500,000 of the loan on financial consultants. Most of the rest will go to two companies -- the school's food vendor and maintenance contractor.
Senate Finance Chairman Hugh Leatherman voted against the plan, saying it does not solve anything.

And as the old Jethro Tull song goes,"Thick as a brick" He seems to think that a majority vote that violates the Constitution is A-OK in his book! Thick as a brick! It wasn't until 1992 that the Majority of Americans came to believe that it's OK for inter racial marriage! Hard to believe but true! Thank god for Loving V Virginia! Great posts! Constitutionality spot on my friend!<quoted text>
Yes you are, there are over a hundred thousand legally recognized same sex marriages and you want to deny other same sex couples the same right.
Yes you are
In those 10 states, one district and one state that recognizes them preformed in other states, not one church was forced to preform anything, not one person was forced into a same sex marriage.
The tide is turning swiftly, come June at the least California will be the next state, and it will continue, because it is right, and just and it is a part of the freedom we celebrate in this country.
There is no turning back now, Same sex marriage is already legal, there are 18,000 of them in California right now, and over a hundred thousand of them across the nation.
Freedom, equality, Justice, every patriot should be on the same bandwagon
You are stuck on the vote? Mind if we vote on it again? because on the outside chance that the Supreme court comes down on the wrong side that is exactly what will happen, and the polls already show that same sex marriage would pass in a walk.
But that wont happen, hundreds of major businesses have already petitioned the supreme court calling the recognizing of same sex marriage across all 50 states has become a business imperative, many conservatives are now backing same sex marriage, you ship has already sailed, never to return.
Dont be too proud of that vote, a church organization saw a swiftly closing window and pushed money to have the vote at that time knowing that if voted upon later Prop 8 would fail.
I can get signatures of brown eyed people to deny blue eyed people the vote, and pass it with the majority of brown eyed people, it would be stuck down ( and rightly so ) just as prop 8 is being struck down.
Judge overturns California's ban on same-sex marriage
There are 201888 comments on the www.cnn.com story from Aug 4, 2010, titled Judge overturns California's ban on same-sex marriage. In it, www.cnn.com reports that:
A federal judge in California has knocked down the state's voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage, ruling Wednesday that the state's controversial Proposition 8 violates the U.S. Constitution.

You can disagree all you want, but you are on the side that is trying to deny rights to other Americans.
I will not let that stand, I am a patriot.
Even though as a straight person it has no effect on me, still I am a patriot, and a vet, and I will fight for the rights of other Americans, as the tide is swiftly turning, I suspect soon every real patriot will
#183459 Mar 15, 2013
No you have that backwards, the majority cannot do so, as the overturn of Prop 8 has already shown. But it doesnt matter anyway, another vote now would make same sex legal in California, it will be easy, either way.
But it wont be needed, with the large numbers of businesses and now many even in the republican leadership supporting the overturn of Prop 8, I dont see any way the Supreme Court will make the wrong decision.
Prop 8 is already overturned, and the stay on that decision will be lifted soon
#183460 Mar 15, 2013
so you think if I get the majority of brown eyed people to vote that blue eyed people should not be allowed the vote, that it would stand?
No it would be deemed unconstitutional ( and rightly so )

I forget how stupid you are! When I say keep your beliefs to yourselves, I mean don't use the law to impose them on others.
Don't like the idea of gay marriage, don't marry someone of the same sex. See the difference?

#183479 Mar 15, 2013
Isnt that what you are doing, forcing your beliefs on others?
No one is forcing you into a same sex marriage, why are you forcing your view on same sex partners?
You are forcing your views on others, and refusing to defend the freedom of other Americans.
I dont know how many times I need to explain to you that we are not a nation of mob rule, we are a nation of law, that protects the rights of Americans against the vile hatred and prejudges of others, even if they are a majority.
There are hundreds and hundreds of such laws struck down, all through our history, learn something about our country before you post.

Homosexuals have the same right to marry as any straight under the same laws, there is no orientation test for a marriage license. Many gays marry now, under current law. Many gays support husband/wife marriage.
There is no gender equality right in the Constitution, the ERA failed ratification.
For someone who calls himself a patriot, Big D doesn't know much about our Constitution.
Marriage laws affect everyone, even singles. Marriage isn't for everyone.

Good points! A gay judge dismissed the lawful vote of a majority of Californians, now they cry about their 'rights'. There is no right to gender equality.
Men and women are different, vive le difference. Reason number two for keeping marriage one man and one woman; sexual differentiation. Isn't it cool how law reflects nature?

#183484 Mar 15, 2013
Unfortunately these whining liberal sleeze balls are deterriorating our constitution bit by bit. In a society, your personal rights don't mean crap. Society makes laws for the benefit of the society not because some limpy wristed boy likes dick instead of vagina like a normal male does. Homosexuality (even by it's definition) is someone who prefers sex with someone else of the same sex. Simply put, homosexuality is for nothing (nothing!) more than personal sexual gratification.
#183485 Mar 15, 2013
They are not called homosexuals because they have some intlectual connection with someone of the same sex, it's simply about their sexual preverted prefferences. That's all. Nothing to do with contributing to any aspect of improving or contributing to society, simply personal sexual gratification.

Fascinated by the fairy tales told by her father, RoseMary Sherwin McDaniel (a.k.a. Amy Hayle, pen name) felt an instinctive tie to her Irish heritage. From the age of five, she penned her own stories, but her serious adult writing efforts were concentrated in Indiana and Michigan historical writing that led to a area newspaper column, "Climbing Your Family Tree."
Sharing a September 15 birthday with mystery author Agatha Christie, she yearned to be published. Some years ago, after joining a writer's group, she achieved her goal of getting a romance story published in a national magazine, which led to a series of unpublished short stories, due to her lack of time to devote to submitting them for publication.
Not until recently when she was one of the first members of a new writer's group in the small northern Indiana town near "the Fruithills," did she dust off those stories and ideas.
Thanks to the ease of self-publishing on feedbooks.com Original Books, she has published 29 books, including the first 19 of the Fruithills Suspense Series." Watch for more in this series featuring places that have never lost their tie to a spirit-filled past.

Metal Beak
this wiki
|What they did to us? They believe in me like no one else ever has! Metal Beak says the strong will triumph, the broken will be put out of their misery. And honor . . . honor is just another word for weakness!
|~ Kludd to Soren
Metal Beak, real name Kludd, is a barn owl (a sooty owl in the movie), the first son and eldest child of Noctus and Marella, the older brother of Soren and Eglantine, the mate of Nyra, the father of Nyroc/Coryn and the main antagonist of the first half of Guardians of Ga'Hoole and the 2010 animated Warner Bros movie, Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole (however in this movie, Metal Beak and Kludd are separate characters; Metal Beak is the main antagonist, and Kludd is the deuteragonist turned tertiary antagonist/anti-hero).
In the Books
Kludd the barn owl was the elder brother of Soren and Eglantine. He was a bully who hated his brother, and eventually pushed Soren from the nest as part of his initiation into the evil elitist group of owls known as the Pure Ones. He later killed his parents and took Eglantine to the Pure Ones's castle to be stone-stunned. Kludd was power-hungry, and wanted to rule the Pure Ones, so be battled with their current leader and killed him, although he paid a price, as a large portion of his face was ripped off. He then had a metal mask made for him to cover the scars, and dubbed himself, Metal Beak. His mate was Nyra, an equally evil barn owl who became second-in-command of the Pure Ones.
In a later battle with Soren, who had survived and now lived at the great Ga'Hoole tree with the Guardians, Soren ripped off his mask and saw that he was his brother. Soren then melted part of Metal Beak's mask off with a burning branch, which ended the battle and Kludd went off in search of water to cool it down.
When the Guardians launched an attack on St. Aegolius Academy, an evil organization that had previously captured Soren, Metal Beak was anticipating their assault, and set up a trap for the Guardians. During the ensuing battle, he lured Soren to a cave, where he had six of his owls waiting to ambush him. Soren and his companions, however, escaped the trap and fought Metal Beak himself, but Soren could not bring himself to kill his own brother. It was until Metal Beak wounded Gylfie, Soren's friend, that he tried to kill him, but another of his fellow warriors, a great grey owl named Twilight, came in and slew Metal Beak with a fatal blow to the back (to save Soren from having to kill his own brother). The Pure Ones were defeated, but Nyra survived and hatched a son for them named Nyroc (later known as Coryn).
After his death, Kludd's bones are gathered to by Nyra for a final ceremony whilst his mask and battle claws were kept for Nyroc to inherit when he becomes the next king of the Pure Ones. Nyroc fled after failing his Special Ceremony to which Nyra warned him that the scroom (owl name for ghost) of Kludd would follow him. This proved true as Nyroc encountered images of Kludd in his mask who urged him to return to the Pure Ones. Eventually, Nyroc declared that he was only a mask and renounced being Kludd's son before charging at the mask and shattering it, indicating that Kludd was finally in hagsmire (Hell)
Nyra later wore a mask made from the remains of Kludd's during the battle of the Middle Kingdom. The mask was left behind on three blood-stained owls, but was later retrieved by Nyra who began wearing it as a tribute to Kludd and hide the wounds caused by The Striga when he saved the chaw of chaws in the Battle of the Middle Kingdoms, having her face as badly mutilated as Kludd's.
In the Movie
In the movie adaptation, Metal Beak and Kludd are two different owls, and Metal Beak was a sooty owl.
Metal Beak was the longtime leader of the Pure Ones, and his face was maimed in a battle of the past. He and his wife Nyra ordered their owls to capture young owlets and moonblink (hypnotize) them into slavery. His plan of vengeance against the Guardians was with flecks, small pieces of magnetic metal found in pellets, to create a super-weapon used to disable and paralyze owl's gizzards. During this time he made a secret deal with Allomere, a Guardian who had some time before the film became a turnfeather.
When the Guardians launched an attack against Metal Beak's stronghold, Allomere lured them into the place where the super-weapon was kept and Metal Beak's bat minions unleashed the super-weapon, downing most of the Guardians. Soren and the band, however, arrived and Soren disabled the flecks. Metal Beak watched this and, assuming that they where guardians too and that Allomere had lied to him, ordered him killed. Immediately, a pack of bats attacked Allomere and dragged him away into the darkness to eat him alive (Allomere actually managed to escape the bats and was later slain by his former apprentice Shard, but Metal never found this out). While the Guardians and the Pure Ones battled each other, Metal Beak went into combat with Ezylryb, an old warrior Guardian who had given Metal Beak his scars. The two fought fiercely and though Ezylryb came very close to defeating the much larger Owl, he was overpowered when Nyra joined Metal Beak's side.
Working together, Metal Beak and Nyra overpowered and nearly killed Ezylryb, but Soren came in and battled Metal Beak to get revenge on him for turning Kludd into a Pure One. Metal Beak soon gained the upper talon in the fight and dived at Soren in an attempt to murder him. However, Soren managed to mortally wound the evil warlord by impaling him on a flaming spear. Metal Beak then collapsed and died from the wound, his mask falling off as well (though the movie didn't show his scars). Nyra then retreated with the remaining Pure Ones.
Kludd (portrayed as a teenager and younger than Nyra [though still seems to have romantic feelings for her]) is envious of Soren at how better he is at flying and the attention he gets from their parents and gets annoyed his belief in the Guardians and wished to be appreciated and respected (something he found when he joined the Pure Ones). Following a flying lesson with their father Noctus, Kludd gets annoyed at Soren for talking about a Guardian called Lyze of Kiel and kicks at him to make him stop, but ends up with Soren knocking himself and Kludd off the branch they are on and onto the ground where they are attacked by a Tasmanian Devil. The two brothers are then captured by Jatt & Jutt, who take them to St. Aegolius for Orphan Birds (St. Aggie's for short) where they met Nyra who makes Soren and an Elf Owl named Gylfie "pickers" when they protest whilst Kludd turns against Soren and goes with Nyra to be trained to be a Pure One soldier.
At training, Kludd and several other Tyto owls try to catch a bluebird which Kludd gets and knocking another owl out of the way. Nyra is impressed with Kludd and suggests they try to recruit Soren. However when they and two Pure One guards find Soren, they see him and Gylfie being helped to escape by Grimble (an owl being forced to work for the Pure Ones to protect his family). Grimble and Nyra battle with Grimble getting the upper hand and tries to choke Nyra and tells Kludd to leave with Soren and Gylfie and go home, but Kludd says that he is home and helps Nyra who then fatally injures Grimble and knocks him out of his tree to his death. Kludd later brings Eglantine to St. Aggie's (in a attempt to recruite her into the Pure Ones) and listens to Metal Beak's speech about Tytos. Eglantine pleads with Kludd to come and find Soren, but Kludd tells her to forget about their brother as he is "weak" and tells her that they will go home tomorrow before moon-blinking her.
Kludd later gives Eglantine and another moon-blinked owlet to Allomere who takes them to The Great Ga'Hoole tree (where Soren and the Band are staying). After Soren breaks Eglantine out of her trance (by talking about the Guardians), she tells him about Kludd and Allomere, which makes Soren learn that Allomere is a traitor and sets out to help the Guardians.
During the battle with the Guardians and the Pure Ones, Kludd battles Soren in a forest fire. Soren doesn't understand why Kludd would join the Pure Ones after what they did to them, but Kludd says that the Pure Ones believe in him like no one ever has. He also talks of Metal Beak saying that the strong will triumph, the broken will be put out of their misery and that honor is just another name for weakness. Soren says he knows Kludd doesn't think like that to which Kludd replies that Soren doesn't know him at all, before the two fight again.
Kludd ends up breaking his wing and dangles above the burning forest. He pleads for Soren to help him, but when Soren tries to do so, Kludd tries to kill his brother by throwing him into the flames. This attempt fails and the branch Kludd is on breaks and he plummets into the fire, causing Soren to think that his brother is dead. However, after the battle is over and Soren, the Band and the Guardiabs have gone, a shadowy figure with red eyes (most likely Kludd) comes across Metal Beak's body and gazes at his mask and possibly takes it for himself.
Joel Edgerton voices Metal Beak whilst Ryan Kwanten voices Kludd.
- Father - Noctus
- Mother - Marella
- Brother - Soren
- Sister - Eglantine
- Mate - Nyra
- Son - Nyroc/Coryn
- Sister-In-Law - Pellimore
- Nieces - Blythe, Bell and Sebastiana
- Metal Beak in movie version is similar with previous leader of Pure Ones in the books, though unlike that owl, he had some history with Ezylryb.
- While Kludd in the book is Metal Beak, in the film he is not, but likely became 2nd Metal Beak if there a sequel to the movie as he is seen staring at Metal Beak's mask with gleaming red eyes near the end of the movie.
- In the film, Kludd is shown to look similar to his mother Marella.
- In the books, Kludd was bad natured from childhood whereas in the film, he was neutral but turned bad when he joined the Pure Ones.

A Canadian indie band formed in 2007 as a collaboration between songwriters Ben Worcester and Tyler Bancroft. The pair's debut EP, Taking Abalonia, featured sunny west coast indie pop, with breezy harmonies, shimmering guitars, and lyrical tributes to their home city of Vancouver. In 2008, the album was rereleased as Howe Sounds/Talking Abalonia, featuring seven additional tracks that stretched the band's stylistic palate to include bubblegum folk ("The Light Is You"), thundering hard rock ("Last Tree Standing") and gentle ukulele ballads ("The Real of It"). After several personnel changes, the group settled upon a five-piece lineup that includes bassist Peter Carruthers, drummer Spencer Schoening, and keyboardist Jaycelyn Brown. The quintet embarked upon a rigorous touring schedule, crossing Canada numerous times

James Finch has sold Phoenix Racing, and the new owners will take control of the organization after this September's event weekend at Richmond International Raceway.
"It's just time to do something else," Finch said Thursday by telephone. "I've been doing it all my life. It's time to do something else. Hell, if I was young, I'd do it all over again."
Finch would not disclose the buyer, which he said would formally announce the transaction in the coming days. He added that the sale included the race team's assets, as well as the shop in Spartanburg, S.C., and that the organization's personnel would remain employed.
Finch will continue to run the team through this September's race weekend at Richmond, he added, and the new buyers will take control the following week before the event at Chicagoland.
Phoenix Racing has been competing in NASCAR's top two series since 1989, when Finch first fielded a car on the now-Nationwide Series for driver Jeff Purvis at Charlotte. The organization has won 13 times on the Nationwide tour, most recently at Daytona in the summer of last year with Kurt Busch. The team has one Sprint Cup Series victory, with Brad Keselowski at Talladega in the spring of 2009.
The team has often struggled to find sponsorship, often leading Finch to fund the organization out of his own pocket. Although he's selling his race team, Finch said he'll still be a presence at the race track.
"I'm not going anywhere," he said. "I'll be around. I'll come to races and all. I just wasn't going to go broke doing it. Sponsorships are really tough to come by and stuff like that. I didn't want to lose everything I've got trying to outrun Ford Motor Company, you know?"

Posted Aug 6 2010 7:06PM
Five weeks after the most anticipated free agency period in NBA history began, the anticipation hasn't waned.
At least for some guys.
The big-tickets items are all accounted for, taking their talents to South Beach, the Big Apple, the Windy City and ports across the league map. While LeBron James may have sweated his decision, he never worried about landing a gig.
Many others aren't a lucky. They sit in limbo, as their agents continue to work the phones with training camp about eight weeks away. Those max deals are long gone. Mid-level exceptions aren't happening. Instead, exceptions such as the veteran's minimum and bi-annual are the currency those free agents who remain free are hoping to land.
More than 70 players who finished last season on NBA rosters remain unsigned, including former MVP Allen Iverson and two-time scoring champ Tracy McGrady. How bad is it out there? Shaquille O'Neal just inked a deal with Boston for seven percent of the salary he made last season.
Here's a look at some familiar names looking for work:
Tracy McGrady
Team(s) in 2009-10: Houston, New York
The buzz: The former All-Star remains unemployed. After a recent tryout with Chicago, T-Mac referred to the Bulls as "we." The team didn't feel the same way, failing to offer a contract. Reports spread that the 31-year-old lacked explosiveness during the workout. Concerns around the league about his surgically-repaired knee and overall diminishing skills persist. There's also the notion that he's not mentally ready to take a reserve role.
Allen Iverson
Team(s) in 2009-10: Memphis, Philadelphia
The buzz: Obviously AI can still play, scoring about 14 points per game during his Philadelphia reunion last season. He's not a take-the-game-over scorer anymore, but who is at 35? The question is whether the four-time scoring champ can check his ego and handle a backup role in a checkered career that's hit its twilight. AI couldn't in Detroit or Memphis.
Jerry Stackhouse
Team(s) in 2009-10: Milwaukee
The buzz: Left on the NBA scrap heap last summer, Stack resurrected his career with an inspiring fill-in stint with Milwaukee after signing in January. Stackhouse averaged more than eight points as a spark off the bench and, perhaps more importantly, provided leadership in the Bucks' locker room. Despite the revival, the cold reality this summer is that Stackhouse turns 36 this season.
Louis Amundson
Team(s) in 2009-10: Phoenix
The buzz: The hustling reserve was a fan favorite in Phoenix, but the Suns don't appear interested in bringing the 6-foot-9 power forward back. While Lou remains limited offensively, he was the Suns' most efficient rebounder per minute last season and well-liked in the locker room. Amundson, 27, has drawn interest from a number of teams, but no one has pulled the trigger yet.
Kwame Brown
Team(s) in 2009-10: Detroit
The buzz: It's been nearly a decade since Michael Jordan made him the No. 1 overall pick with the Wizards. That remains Brown's claim to fame. After two lackluster years in Detroit, the 6-foot-11 center is back on the market. He's only 28, but his work ethic, or lack of one, is one big obstacle for general managers and coaches to look past in the league that values guys with Brown's size.
Bobby Simmons
Team(s) in 2009-10: New Jersey
The buzz: Safe to say Simmons won't be pulling down $11 million this season. Even since signing that monster $47 million deal with Milwaukee five years ago, it's been nothing but diminishing returns for the 6-foot-6 swingman and for the teams he's played on. Simmons was New Jersey's highest-paid player last season, but stayed glued to the bench of the league's worst team. The former Most Improved Player is only 30.
Larry Hughes
Team(s) in 2009-10: New York, Charlotte
The buzz: The 12-year vet has averaged more than 14 points per game over the course of his career, but didn't score in double figures for the first time last season during short runs with New York and Charlotte. Still, there's interest in the 6-foot-5 shooting guard, with Boston and Chicago reportedly considering deepening their bench with the 31-year-old Hughes.
Brian Scalabrine
Team(s) in 2009-10: Boston
The buzz: Was there a better (or better-paid) cheerleader in the league last season than Scalabrine? Boston's red-haired power forward finished up a five-year contract for $15 million by averaging 1.5 points and 0.9 rebounds. Would prefer to stay in Beantown, but Shaq's recent signing probably squeezes Scalabrine out. The 32-year-old is contemplating a career overseas.
Rafer Alston
Team(s) in 2009-10: Miami
The buzz: It didn't end well for the former streetball legend last season in Miami. Think he'd like to play for the Heat now? Alston, 33, averaged double figures in points for six straight seasons up to 2009. The point guard also averaged more than five assists five times. Sounds like a good start for a backup point guard. His baggage may be too much for any team to carry.

Cardpool claims they never received the cards. According to Best Buy the cards were cashed 4 days after I sent them. I would chalk this up to bad luck and the cards just getting lost in the mail, but upon further research about this company I have found many similar complaints. I suspect they have an internal theft problem within their company.
I requested that they honor the exchange they had agreed to do. They were unwilling to do so. My concern is that they have a history of doing this to customers.

I don't have a real job yet although I'm getting there so some of these ideas I'll have to remember. At the moment I don't go into work til 11 so I usually can surf for a few hours before work. But on days were it's really good or is supposed to get good later in the day I'll just make sure I got some food in my stomach and chug a Gatorade then throw up. Iv gotten pretty good. I'll run to a garbage can and throw up in front of someone. I get told to go home without even asking

Ya that would suck if you went through all that and the boss still didn't let you off. Not only would you be missing out on the surf but you would have poopy pants the rest of the day. Then you probably have to take the next day off because your but rash would be too bad!

#16439 closed Bug (fixed)
select_related does not work with nullable fields unless field is specified.
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Triage Stage:
|Has patch:
|Needs documentation:
|Needs tests:
|Patch needs improvement:
|Easy pickings:
Say I have the following model:
class Book(models.Model): owner = models.ForeignKey(Owner, related_name='books')
Book.objects.select_related() will pull in all owner data. HOWEVER, when the owner field is nullable, no joins occur.
class Book(models.Model): owner = models.ForeignKey(Owner, null=True, blank=True, related_name='books')
Running a join in my database involving a nullable field works exactly as would one on a non-nullable field, so I can't really see a good reason for this to happen.

select_related will follow nullable foreignkeys if you specify the fieldname manually, eg:
I'm sure there's a good reason why this doesn't happen by default, but the behaviour is documented.
comment:2 Changed 5 years ago by dloewenherz
Thanks for the tip!
In my actual model there are about 6 ForeignKey relationships (all of which are accessed for the request). That means I have to manually specify each one I want to perform a join on, which is a little tedious/unclean.
comment:3 Changed 5 years ago by aaugustin
- Triage Stage changed from Unreviewed to Design decision needed
Digging into the docs and code, there is no explanation of this behavior.
The condition is in django.db.models.query_utils.select_related_descend.
comment:4 Changed 5 years ago by mtredinnick
- Component changed from Database layer (models, ORM) to Documentation
- Needs documentation set
- Summary changed from select_related does not work with nullable fields to select_related does not work with nullable fields unless field is specified.
- Triage Stage changed from Design decision needed to Accepted
A documentation patch is welcome for this (although I thought it was documented originally; may have been a friendly fire casualty). For performance reasons, we will never traverse nullable relations by default, as it requires using left outer joins, instead of merely inner joins, and the former are significantly slower. It is intentional that you can manually tell your code to traverse nullable relations by passing in the field names, so there's no behavioural bug here, just a documentation one.
comment:5 Changed 4 years ago by mtredinnick
- Resolution set to fixed
- Status changed from new to closed
Quoting from the current documentation (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/querysets/#django.db.models.query.QuerySet.select_related):
Note that, by default, select_related() does not follow foreign keys that have null=True.
So no documentation patch required. The reason it's like this is because nullable joins require an outer join between tables and is sufficiently performance impacting to not do by default.

Acer Iconia W4 Windows 8 tablet
Acer's 8in Iconia W4 Windows 8.1 tablet is a decent unit overall, but was a little problematic during our test period
- Decent overall performance
- Good button layout
- Long battery life
- Reflections can get annoying
- HDMI output didn't work properly
- Some reliability issues with Wi-Fi
Bottom Line
Acer's Iconia W4 Windows 8.1 tablet has a lot of good features, but it wasn't well behaved during our test period. It gave a us a couple of frustrating problems that didn't all go away after restoring. Looks like it needs some updated drivers if it's to become a serious player.
Price$ 499.00 (AUD)
The Acer Iconia W4 (model number EE6) Windows 8.1 tablet may not look as attractive as some of its competitors, such as the Dell Venue 8 Pro or the Toshiba Encore, but it puts more of a focus on function, rather than form. It runs a current generation Intel Atom CPU, has a vibrant screen, and its button layout is a little better, in our opinion, compared to some of the competing Windows 8.1 tablets. But it's not without its quirks.
With an 8in screen that has a native resolution of 1280x800, the Iconia W4 is the same form factor as the Dell Venue 8 Pro and Toshiba Encore. It's a tablet that many of you will be able to hold in the palm of your hand due to this size, although it is a little bigger than other tablets such as the Dell, and also slightly heavy (420g).
We had no problems handling this tablet, and we think that its design overall is very decent for a Windows 8.1 slate. Sure, it probably looks a little bland, especially because it has a dull grey back, and a 9mm grey bezel at the bottom of the screen (when held in portrait orientation), but the bezel holds the Windows Home button and acts as a marker regarding where all the other buttons are on the tablet. You know immediately where the Windows Home, power and volume buttons are because of this bezel, regardless of the way you are holding the tablet (especially at night). With tablets such as the Dell Venue 8 Pro, it can be hard to tell which way you are holding it and where the buttons are.
You get a power button at the top of the screen (when held in portrait orientation), and it's kept well away from the volume buttons, which are on the right side. We like this spacing as it means you can't accidentally switch off the tablet if you are fiddling around for the volume buttons. Other features include a Micro-USB port for charging and plugging in OTG (on-the-go) capable USB sticks (such as the ones from Imation, Verbatim, and SanDisk); there is a Micro-HDMI port, and also a microSD card slot (it supports up to 32GB). Stereo speakers are located at the bottom, but they are easy to block and don't sound great anyway. Plug in some headphones if you want to listen to music (or connect to a Bluetooth speaker like the Braven 855 Series).
We will point out that we had trouble making use of the HDMI output on this tablet. We used a multi-head adapter that we purchased from Officeworks, and connected it to a Samsung 40in TV, as we do with all devices that we test. The Iconia W4 tablet detected our TV, but it defaulted to extending the display on the TV, and would not allow us to duplicate the contents. On a tablet, extending a screen is not very useful since you can't drag content onto the second screen without having an external pointing device attached. We restored the tablet and re-updated it without any luck in getting this feature to work properly.
Other features of the Iconia W4 include front (2-megapixel) and rear (5-megapixel) cameras, dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0. You can easily use this tablet to stream music from services such as Google Play Music, and listen via a Bluetooth speaker or stereo system at the same time. In fact, as an interface for Google Play Music, we think the Iconia W4 is ideal.
The screen has a decent level of brightness, and it can be seen well from all angles. However, it has a glossy finish, like most tablet screens, so reflections can end up driving you nuts. The level of brightness isn't high enough to minimise reflections in all instances. Touch input was accurate for us, and we had few problems getting the tablet to react to our needs, whether we tapped on icons in the centre of the screen or window control buttons near the edges of the screen. Performing tasks such as swiping through photos and Twitter streams was a comfortable experience.
On the inside, the Iconia W4 has a typical configuration. It features an Intel Atom Z3740 quad-core CPU with a 1.33GHz frequency, 2GB of RAM, and a 64GB solid state drive (with a 51.9GB formatted capacity). It's a tablet that performed swiftly for typical, everyday tasks, including Web browsing, viewing photos and videos, and multitasking was effortless when swiping between apps from the left side of the screen. We had no problems using full-screen, Modern UI apps for Twitter, Reddit, and others, and streaming video was also decent.
We were able to view YouTube videos, even in HD, without any stuttering. However, on Flash-based streaming services such as NBA League Pass, the Iconia W4 dropped a few frames, which made the viewing experience less than stellar. The Toshiba Encore has so far performed best in that particular test.
The overall swift performance of the tablet can, in part, be attributed to the fast solid state drive, which recorded a read rate of 166.9 megabytes per second (MBps) in CrystalDiskMark, and a write rate of 65.28MBps. These are almost double what the Toshiba Encore and Dell Venue 8 achieved in the same tests.
In our battery life test, in which we maintain a connection to a Wi-Fi network, maximise the screen brightness, and loop a locally stored video file, the Acer Iconia W4 lasted for 7hr 54min. This is a great result that beats out both the Dell Venue 8, and the Toshiba Encore. You have to charge the tablet using a microUSB cable and a wall adapter, which can make it hard to use the tablet while it's being charged, and charging can take upwards of three hours.
While our overall experience with this tablet was an enjoyable one, there are some things about it that were problematic for us. We had to restore it and update it a couple of times during our test period, mainly to see if we could eradicate issues such as a wobbly Wi-Fi connection, and a screen that would sometimes flash brightly (only momentarily) at seemingly random times.
The restoring got rid of the flashing almost entirely (we did notice it one more time after updating), but the Wi-Fi was still a little wobbly, which meant we had to toggle Airplane mode on and off to re-connect in some cases. The chip in the tablet is a Broadcom 802.11abgn and we used it on a couple of different routers (a Linksys EA4500, and a Belkin AC1800) that gave similar experiences. Add this to the HDMI output issue we experienced, and you could say that the Iconia W4 is need of some refinement, especially when it comes to its drivers. With updates to make the Wi-Fi more stable and the HDMI work properly, this could end up being a great little Windows 8 tablet.
It comes pre-installed with Microsoft Office Home and Student 2013, and there is an optional keyboard and case you can purchase to make the most of it.
It costs $499 in Australia, and $649 in New Zealand.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
