Popular posts: Heaven, Hell and Rob Bell
During Adrian's month away from the blog, he has hand-picked a selection of the most popular posts of the year so far to re-run.Today we feature, "Heaven, Hell and Rob Bell."This was by far the most popular series of posts Adrian wrote this year. If you missed it you can read the transcript or watch the video: Heaven, Hell and Rob Bell – a Face to Face Debate about Love Wins … [Read more...]
The reality of Hell – a sermon by Tope Koleoso
The above sermon will shake you to the core. Tope didn't mention those who have recently been denying hell by name, but his disagreement with them could not have been clearer. This is a compassionate yet very direct sermon on a painful but important subject. It was my delight to pray with someone at the end who wanted to become a Christian, and I know there were others. But perhaps the real targets were people like me. People who theologically believe this teaching but don't live as though it … [Read more...]
Full transcipt of the Warnock vs Rob Bell debate
It may feel like quite a while ago now, but I keep hearing of people who have just watched or listened to my Rob Bell debate. Thanks to the hard work of I am now able to share a complete transcript with you. It is very long, and rather than serializing it, you can read the whole transcript right here on the blog or download a PDF. The thing is practically a book! … [Read more...]
Concluding question: Does MY life consistently demonstrate my belief in a literal eternal hell?
If you want to know what someone really believes you should look at how they live. Now, of course we should be emphasizing the positive good news of the gospel. We should be speaking in such a way as to induce wonder. But if I really believe in an eternal hell where those who do not know Jesus will be punished for ever, and I am the bearer of the only message that can rescue from that fate, why do I not share this more often?This is the final post in my series on Rob Bell and Hell. In it I … [Read more...]
What about babies, those who dont know and other hard cases
To speak first about Babies, Bell acknowledges the common evangelical understanding (often seen among Baptists) that babies and children below an age of accountability will be saved. He uses this to make a grotesque argument that is presumably designed to lead to the idea that in fact all are saved. It is of course sometimes hard to see where Bell's questions are leading, but it is clear that they are designed to lead away from more traditional understandings:"If every new baby being born c … [Read more...]
What about CS Lewis, John Stott and Hell?
People argue that Lewis suggested similar things to what Bell has said BUT 1. He did believe in Punishment, but stressed mans role in choosing that punishment and 2 He suggested these things tentatively as possibilities rather than boldly and 3. he didn't mock the other view as hopelessly inadequate and "a bad story" and finally 4. Unlike Rob Bell, Lewis did not claim to be an Evangelical insider. He was a broad C of E churchman who Evangelicals listened to but did not expect to agree with … [Read more...]

Is Rob Bell a neo-liberal who does not take the Bible literally?
If you have got this far in reading every post I have written on Rob Bell since my debate with him, you are doing well! I am almost done. But today I want to address a strong accusation I put to him in the debate. I claimed that he approaches the Bible very differently from the typical evangelical. In other words, I believe that he no longer takes the Bible literally whenever it is reasonable to do so.Colossians 2:8 warns us "Don't let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and h … [Read more...]
What does the Greek word for eternal mean?
One issue that we did not get our teeth fully into during my debate with Rob Bell was the meaning of the Greek word for "eternal." This reminded me of a three part series I once did on Cows, Dogs, and Political correctness for some reason. Bell seemed to be arguing that it did not mean something that goes on for ever. As I pointed out, the same word is used for the eternal reward of eternal life as for the eternal punishments. Thus, both must have the same duration! This is especially true … [Read more...]

Come see "Babes in Arms"!
Original post made by Logan Walter, Menlo Park, on May 13, 2013
The Grab Bag Theater presents a fantastic production of "Babes in Arms!" The show, with performances on May 24th, 25th and June 1st at 7:00 PM, and May 31st at 6:30 PM, is produced and performed ENTIRELY by Bay Area students. The Grab Bag Theater's mission is to provide youth with opportunities to perform, the skills and support to produce shows independently, and an active theater network across the San Francisco Peninsula. This play, ironically, is about a group of young apprentices at the Surf & Sand Playhouse, dedicated to mounting an original show as they try to stay one step ahead of the surly theatre owner. It is an evening of fun and romance featuring such classic songs written for this play such as "The Lady is a Tramp" and "My Funny Valentine". Performances will be held at the Veteran's Memorial Center Theater at 1455 Madison Avenue in Redwood City. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students and seniors, and can be purchased at the door or online at Web Link ("Babes in Arms"-Music by Richard Rogers, lyrics by Lorenz Hart, book by George Oppenheimer, based on the original by Rodgers & Hart)

Reviews for this host's other properties
First of all Salvatore is not a private person, this is an agency which doesn't care if there are any problems. I would never recomend him as a host nor his flat. We had to go to the agency to pick up the keys but in the description of the flat at wimdu was written that we will meet at the flat. Also the stink of cat piss from the outside of the flat was so strong, that we couldn't sleep with an open window which was unbearable (it was really hot in Nice).There were also cockroaches in the flat. Last but not least we had no wifi for 2 days. We contacted the "cousin" and Salvatore (as he was our contact person) to take care about this problems and there were no reaction. Until the second complaint he came to the building to check what's wrong with the internet. Our problem with the cat piss stink wasn't resolved and therefore I will write a complaint letter to wimdu. Never again. It was the worst host & apartment & wimdu experience ever.
We had a great stay at the apartment! It was quiet, clean and we got very good informations about the city and trips we could do. Every time again!
The flat was really clean and the rooms are cosy. We really enjoyed staying there. It was not complicated and really worth the price.
Everything was alright. Salvatore and his cousin Stephan have mad a lot of efforts that everyone would have a nice stay, they will help you with every question or fix any problem you have. They prepared a lot to make everything super easy (check-in, -out, location, maps, etc.) and especially their self-made tour i can recommend. Of course the apartment wasn't decorated as seen on the pictures, but overall the interior was as seen. You have everything you need for self catering and so the price is definitely very good. So we had a good stay and i'll come back for my next trip to Nice.
The -: expensive apartment for a very small area. Very uncomfortable bed mattresses used in foam. A blocked store. Bedside lamp does not work, kc bulb, I replaced. Very noisy place (bvd François Grosso) forcing to sleep closed window.
The pros: clean apartment. door machine in the bathroom. secure apartment door. good condition.
Les - : appartement cher pour une surface très réduite. Lit très inconfortable sur matelas usagé en mousse. Un des store bloqué. Lampe de chevet ne marche pas, ampoule kc, je l'ai remplacée. Lieu très bruyant (bvd François Grosso) obligeant de dormir fenêtre fermée.
Les + : appart propre. porte linge dans la sdb. porte appart sécurisée. bon état général.
Salvatore is a super nice host.
The handover of the apartment worked without problems.
The apartment was clean and mainly corresponds broadly to uploaded photos. The apartment is very centrally located for a city break.
There are grademal 5 minutes to the train station. Around the corner is a small "Boulangerie" where you can stock up with fresh baguette in the morning etc. low and croissants, Parisien. Our apartment (no. 5) faced the courtyard. so you have not heard anything from the street noise. For large central shopping street, it is also just 1 minute. If you look down this one can already see the sea. For 1.50 EUR You can also take the tram.
Merci et a bientot Salvatore :)
Salvatore ist ein super netter Gastgeber.
Die Übergabe der Wohnung hat problemlos geklappt.
Das Appartment war vor allem sauber und entspricht in großen und ganzen den eingestellten Fotos. Das Appartment liegt für eine Städtreise sehr zentral.
Zum Bahnhof sind es grademal 5 Minuten. Um die Ecke liegt eine kleine "Boulangerie" wo man sich morgens mit frischen Baguette und Croissants, Parisien etc. günstig eindecken kann. Unser Appartment (Nr. 5 ) lag zum Innenhof. sodass man vom Straßenlärm nichts mitbekommen hat. Zur großen zentralen Einkaufsstraße ist es auch nur 1 Minute. Wenn man diese herunterschaut kann man schon das Meer sehen. Für 1,50 EUR kann man auch die Tram nehmen.
Merci et a bientot Salvatore :)
It was a good choice to stay at Salvatores Apartment. It's central, not very big but enought for a citytrip and it is equipped with all necessary things!
No recommendation - despite nice representative of the landlord
- House is old and worn (renovation in the hallway was under way)
- It smells musty and moldy
- Windows for stuffy and dirty backyard / noise and smell enormous
- It is not an apartment / studio (No.3) - kl. Room with kitchenette and bathroom (the bed is, there are no leaks)
- There are several rooms with bathrooms in this apartment - you can hear everything
- No closet - just a shelf with curtain (hanging clothes is not possible)
- Bad newly built, but outflows musty
- Washing machine of Boss - but unfortunately also musty
- Not in stock, no Toipapier or detergent (washing up liquid was there)
- Water came in last night by the wall under the window into the room
- Location is not as good as promised - no sea view, not laterally, but minutes from the beach only 5 foot
- Min by bus from the airport and 20 stop 5 minutes from the apartment
- Good bus / to the train station
- To get close only Pizza
- I will not book this offer again - my holiday it did not beautified
Keine Weiterempfehlung - trotz nettem Vertreter des Vermieters
- Haus ist alt und abgewohnt (Renovierung im Flur war im Gange)
- es riecht muffig und schimmlig
- Fenster zum stickigen und dreckigen Hinterhof / Lärmpegel und Geruch enorm
- es ist keine Wohnung/Studio (Nr.3) - kl. Zimmer mit Küchenzeile und mit Bad (steht das Bett, ist alles dicht)
- es sind mehrere Zimmer mit Bad in dieser Wohnung - man hört alles
- kein Schrank - nur ein Regal mit Vorhang (Klamotten aufhängen nicht möglich)
- Bad neu eingebaut, aber Abflüsse muffig
- Waschmaschine von Boss - aber leider auch muffig
- nichts vorrätig, kein Toipapier oder Reinigungsmittel (etwas Spülmittel war da)
- Wasser drang in der letzten Nacht durch die Wand unter dem Fenster ins Zimmer
- Lage ist nicht so gut wie versprochen - keine Sicht aufs Meer, auch nicht seitlich, aber bis zum Meer nur 5 min zu Fuß
- mit dem Bus vom Flughafen 20 min und Haltestelle 5 min von der Wohnung
- gute Busanbindung / auch zum Bahnhof
- in der Nähe nur Pizza zu bekommen
- ich werde dieses Angebot nicht nochmal buchen - meinen Urlaub hat es nicht verschönt
My mom and 'was very glad for the location of the study, confortable and quiet.
Good reception. I would recommend for the position.
Mia mamma e' stata molto contenta per la posizione dello studio, confotevole e tranquillo.
Buona l'accoglienza . Lo consiglierebbe per la posizione.
The location for me was perfect as very easy reachable by public transport from the airport and really only a 5 minutes walk to the beach.
The handling of the keys was absolutely on time - I did not had to wait one single second. Everything was superclean and the bathroom is totally new with a nice shower and a hairdryer.
Personnally speking, I found it a bit too functional - a bit too sober... there was no decoration like e.g. a little picture on the wall or anything.
And I would not recommend it for two people as it has just a sofa (no real bed) and for 2 people I consider it to be too small. Besides, you are sleeping directly next to the fridge that I had to switch off at night to be able to sleep.
You better bring earplugs with you, as the walls seem to be very thin and as there is another apartment right next to yours, you will hear EVERYTHING from your neighbours (in my case I was waking up every night by hearing them having sex and talking until 3 o clock at night).
It was ok for a short stay but I would recommend it more to younger people who just need a place to sleep. I would not have really liked to stay inside (e.g. in case of bad weather).
In my case, I was very unlucky, as I was arriving 3 days later and leaving 1 day earlier as originally booked because of a strike of the french air traffic controllers and I was informing Salvatore directly about this problem. Of course it was absolutely neither his fault nor problem, but I would have considered it to be nice to be reimbursed for at least 1 or 2 nights of the 4 ones I could not use the apartment.
WIMDU does not want to be involved into problems like that. They recommended me to deal about this directly with the owner. As soon as the booking is done and payed, they don't care anymore.
So next time, subjectively speaking, I think I will get back to booking a hotel in oldschool manner but objectively, everything was ok with the apartment.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

The University of Auckland is warning students to be careful after its arts server was accessed by "unauthorised parties".
A university spokesperson said today that the server, used for holding postgraduate enrolment applications, summer scholarship applications, doctoral research applications, and 2007 PHD expressions of interest, had been accessed unlawfully.
More than 4500 students who may have had their information accessed were sent an email warning them of the breach, and advising them to be careful.
"Expert forensic analysis has been undertaken in an effort to determine the nature of any data accessed on this server," the spokesperson said.
"Unfortunately, this testing is inconclusive and while there is no evidence that the information was accessed, it cannot be ruled out."
When university staff realised what had happened, the server was isolated and analysed.
And although the university would be doing additional security checks, people should be aware of the risks.
"The university also suggests that you carefully monitor activities based around your identity in the unlikely event that there is an attempt by those who gained access to the server to use this information in a malicious way," the email said.
Students are urged to contact the university if any "irregularities" are noticed.

Do or Die for Nashville
It's possible that all of the injuries the Predators have sustained this year have finally caught up to them. There is a certain point where you can't outplay the injuries that have been sustained. This doesn't mean the Preds can't put together a run to make the playoffs, but it does mean that it's going to be significantly harder to do so. Think about it. Matthew Lombardi, Marcel Goc, Steve Sullivan, Francis Bouillon, and Cal O'Reilly are all injured right now. It's absurd the amount of injuries the Predators have had to deal with this season. We all thought that eventually it would stop and we'd reach a point where everyone has healthy and it just hasn't happened. People keep getting hurt and then they stay hurt. As a matter of fact, it's possible that each player on the injured list right now could be out for the remainder of the season.
I'm not one to make excuses, and the injuries are not my excuse for the way the Preds have been playing lately. However, they certainly do not help the situation at all. Sunday's game against Columbus is a must-win. I know they're not mathematically eliminated if they don't win but it will be a lot easier on them if they do. Columbus would jump them if they lose in regulation. Simply put, that can't happen.
Sunday's game will be the first game that I will have the privilege of attending with credentials for this blog. It's been a fun thing to do ever since Phillip and I started it, and we appreciate all of the readers we've had. Hopefully my first game with credentials will give the Preds some sort of winning vibe(I'm looking for anything I can to get them in the win column). The puck will drop at a special start time of 2:00 P.M. As Terry Crisp would say, see you at the rink!

I agree 100% that this game is going to be a very big factor in the standings. A loss will definitely hurt and put us in 12th place. But a win will put us right back in the top 8, and hopefully give us a morale boost. Just letting you know, in case you didn't already, Lombardi, O'Reilly, and Goc are out for the season.ReplyDelete
They won! So you're first game with credentials must have done the trick!ReplyDelete
@Kyle I don't think Lombardi and O'Reilly have been confirmed out for the season yet, but I severely doubt they will return. Huge win tonight though. @Toolskool I'll take credit for it even though we all know it's not true!ReplyDelete

Item was well packed and the quality in the glass,fitting and craftsmanship were excellent. Instructions for assembly were for a slightly different light and no fixings are included which for this level and cost of item is not very professional.,overall very pleased.
MGS Reply: We can not provide fixing screws because only a qualified staff can perform the installation of lighting equipment. Furthermore the fixing screws should be chosen depending on the type of wall which will be installed the lamp: (wood, brick, concrete ...) We remain at your disposal for any clarification.

Well packaged and delivery well before expected, even though time was short as we were last minute! Don't think twice, just buy.

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by Catherine M, Jul 2, 2012.
Hamsterwatch confirms it IS a relative of Russell Hantz.
So far, the rumored 4 returnees are Dan, Boogie, Janelle and Britney.
But that's still not a definite.
Just got finished reading all the bios.
Hard to pick a favorite just from words but I really like Ian, the young engineering student from Tulane. And my personal favorite occupation is "Spray Tanner" for Ashley. I want to be a spray tanner. Do you have to go to school for that!?
I liked most of them from their interviews, but I'm sure I'll grow to despise most of them before the summer is up.
I thought it was funny that the We Love Big Brother interviewer had no clue who Russell Hantz is.
Returnees: Love Janelle, Dan and Britney (although she really can only mentor on how to give good diary room and get screwed over by a boy). Hate Boogie.
ITA! I'm terrible about picking people who I think I will like and then end up hating midway through the season. And BB is worse because you get to see so much more of the players than you do on other shows.
Yet I still keep watching and will practically live in this thread.
Yes, which means Boogie will end up being the last one standing.
Pretty much my assessment too. I don't think Boogie without Dr Will will survive long. Although, if it's anything like last summer, the starry eyed newbies will probably be snowed by them all for awhile at least. Ditto Hantz.
After watching the interviews, I like them all so far. If I had to pick favorites, I'd go with Ashley, Kara, Willie, Frank and Wil.
I hope returnees are Janelle, Britney and Dan. I like them all. I can't stomach Boogie though.
I was not saying it was not a Hantz, I was saying it was not the father of crazy Brandon!
Oh, my mistake.
Okay, added this to my dvr. If rachel shows up (not looking likely, which is good) I am turning it off immediately.
I'm sure she'll turn up at some point - hosting a competition, ghosts in the mirror, a Jessie-style Pandora's Box, something like that.
I don't mind if Rachel pops up in the game this season as I guess I'm one of the few people in America that Rachel doesn't bother and that's after two seasons of big brother and one of the Amazing Race! But I totally understand how she would annoy the sh*t of of everyone so hopefully she just has a minor role in BB14.
Don't forget to watch "The Talk"'s "Big Brother" preview show on Thursday 7/12/2012:
I'm so excited. I don't know how much more of Glass House I can take.
I did some contestant video watching yesterday as I was home sick and I have to say, its shaping up to be a good season. I just hope the mentor twist doesn't fizzle too much and that the players are able to adapt.
And it seems like lots of single people ready to mingle so we could be seeing quite a few showmances. As long as it doesn't get out of control, that could be fun.
Many beautiful women, but not one hot guy this season.
I can see the women having a showmance with Jenn before they had one with any of the guys.
ETA:Boogie was on Will's show "Dr. 90210" to have a penis bump removed (HPV wart):
ok, I gave up on BB a couple of seasons ago, and thought S14 had already started. Decided to cruise Dingo's Hamsterwatch for old times' sake and of course had to peruse the contestants. Tons of (alleged) superfans! More than 1 person over 40! An interesting looking punk rockish chick who will never be as cool as Nakomis but at least she's not another pharmaceutical rep! and of course now I have to watch, right?
Until I saw YET ANOTHER HANTZ
seriously, is there a contract written in blood somewhere requiring CBS to employ every single male member of this family?!? (and because it looks like there is still a question, this is Russell's brother, but NOT Brandon's father - there are even more of them, unfortunately).
The possibility of the awesome Janelle returning might get me to watch anyway, but seriously - BB is suffering from the same delusion that Survivor is, that packing the house/island with returning players is better than casting new people who could end up being just as fabulous.
This. I am really not looking forward to the next 2 seasons of Survivor, both of which will have returning contestants. I wasn't a big fan of the returnees last year, and won't be this year. They always have such an unfair advantage, having been through the process once (or twice, or if you are Boston Rob -- thrice) before. Every season of Survivor/BB that has mixed returning contestants with new contestants has had returning contestants either making it all the way to the end, or winning (only exception being Jessie the Douche going out early-jury the season he was added in again). Whole group of new blood, please!
We've talked about this in the past, but I do think that along with the advantages of knowing the game, the ability to correct previous mistakes and to leverage their celebrity among the other players also comes a few disadvantages that I believe even things out: they are immediate targets, especially if they are previous winners, and their game is well known, including what they have revealed in confessionals in past games.
Russell went out fast and Ozzy only survived as long as he did because for much of the game he was playing solo on RI. Coach went far thanks to his leadership skills and others wanting to play under the radar, while Rob was able to charm the rest of his team and take advantage of others riding his coattails. In other words, it can go either way.
They may be "targets" from the beginning, but really only Russell has been victim of his previous status and thus booted early. They typically bring back people who have been likable among the general public, thus why most of the new contestants are all excited to have them in the game. Russell was neither likable or sociable, and he paid for it.
Stephenie made final 2 in Survivor Guatemala, and Bobby John was a leader on his tribe and only bounced because his tribe had the numbers disadvantage at the merge. Fans vs. Favorites came down to 3 favorites. Rob won. Coach was a runner up. Rachel won, Jordan was 4th.. all of the other returnees were on the jury (sans Dick who walked early on). Jessie would have been making it to the end with his harem had there not been the Coup d'Etat twist.
I'm afraid that Survivor and Big Brother are going to get into a rut with continually bringing back returning players. They completely hog up the airtime in the episodes, which prevents us from getting to see and actually know the new players and letting them blossom on their own, since they are constantly overshadowed.
Not to mention it's completely unfair for the fan vote/cash prize for the favorite player at the end of the season. None of the newbies should expect to win this when viewers have seen the returnees on a previous season(s) in the past.
Luckily there seems to be some speculation (although not confirmed) that the returnees this season are going to be "mentors" and won't actually be playing for the 500K, although I wouldn't put it past Grodner to whip up some sort of twist that would enter them into the game field.
I'm just assuming the mentor status is to prevent them getting an early boot and then midway though, oh look, they're actual players now.
I bet the mentor thing goes on long enough for the returnees to make jury.
I'm already pissed about it but I've accepted that one of my favorite things about BB is bitching and bitching about it for weeks.
It is pretty much confirmed that the returning HGs are:
Brittany (although she is the last one not confirmed but the pic of her legs in the promo pic kind of confirm it)
Sorry if this is common knowledge but I keep up with BB on so many message boards that I can barely keep them all straight. I spoilered just in case someone really wants to wait until tomorrow to find out.
No spoiler tags/black outs needed in the "Big Brother" thread. It's in the OP.
Starts today!!! I'm getting excited!!! Ordered Superpass Live Feeds and have Showtime After Dark.
ETA Reminder: THE TALK, Thursday, July 12 (2:00-3:00 PM, ET; 1:00-2:00 PM, PT) on CBS.
I'm surprised it's only a ONE HOUR premiere. I was expecting at least 2 hours. What can they do in 1 hour other than just introduce the contestants? Guess I'm about to find out.
On this mentor teams thing - which I agree with jamesy will be dropped after about 4 boots and the returnees are well entrenched - wouldn't it be fun if the mentors sekretly team up and actually mislead their mentees? Talk about playing Big Brother!
If they aren't in it to win in the traditional sense, then the fun would be in manipulating and controlling the game just for kicks. I suspect there's some incentive - they get something if one of their mentees wins - but are any of these people really in it for the money? Aren't they in it for the exposure and fame and bragging rights? I would think Boogie and Brittney would be first in, with Dan and Janelle not far behind.
Could be hugely fun
I don't know if they've ever done anything but a 1 hour premiere. They've pretty much got it down by now: brief intro of each contestant, putting them into the house in groups, letting them mingle for a bit, introduce whatever the twist is for that year and then end with a comp (usually HoH). I'll be surprised if they deviate from that.
Jenny Kirk is a BB uber. Her FB posts crack me up.
I have never watched The Talk, but recorded this because Chenbot playing the game sounded fun. So they did this for a previous season and Julie was voted out? And loved the costumes for veto.

To create an
InnoDB table, use the
CREATE TABLE statement. You do
not need to specify the
ENGINE=InnoDB clause
InnoDB is defined as the default storage
engine, which is the default as of MySQL 5.5. You might still
ENGINE=InnoDB clause if you plan to use
mysqldump or replication to replay the
CREATE TABLE statement on a
server where the default storage engine is not
-- Default storage engine = InnoDB. CREATE TABLE t1 (a INT, b CHAR (20), PRIMARY KEY (a)); -- Backward-compatible with older MySQL. CREATE TABLE t2 (a INT, b CHAR (20), PRIMARY KEY (a)) ENGINE=InnoDB;
InnoDB table and its indexes can be
created in the system
tablespace or in a
tablespace. When
innodb_file_per_table is
enabled, which is the default setting as of MySQL 5.6.6, an
InnoDB table is implicitly created in an
individual file-per-table tablespace. Conversely, when
innodb_file_per_table is
disabled, an
InnoDB table is implicitly
created in the system tablespace.
When you create an
InnoDB table, MySQL
creates a .frm file in a
database directory under the MySQL data directory. For a table
created in a file-per-table tablespace, an
.ibd file is also created.
A table created in the system tablespace is created in the
existing system tablespace ibdata
InnoDB adds an entry for each
table to the
InnoDB data dictionary. The
entry includes the database name. For example, if table
t1 is created in the
database, the data dictionary entry is
'test/t1'. This means you can create a table
of the same name (
t1) in a different
database, and the table names do not collide inside
Viewing the Properties of InnoDB Tables
To view the properties of
InnoDB tables,
issue a
mysql> SHOW TABLE STATUS FROM test LIKE 't%' \G; *************************** 1. row *************************** Name: t1 Engine: InnoDB Version: 10 Row_format: Compact Rows: 0 Avg_row_length: 0 Data_length: 16384 Max_data_length: 0 Index_length: 0 Data_free: 0 Auto_increment: NULL Create_time: 2015-03-16 16:26:52 Update_time: NULL Check_time: NULL Collation: latin1_swedish_ci Checksum: NULL Create_options: Comment: 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
In the status output, you see the
Row format property of
t1 is
Although that setting is fine for basic experimentation,
consider using the
row format to take advantage of
features such as table compression and off-page storage for long
column values. Using these row formats requires that
innodb_file_per_table is
enabled (the default as of MySQL 5.6.6) and that
innodb_file_format is set to
SET GLOBAL innodb_file_per_table=1; SET GLOBAL innodb_file_format=barracuda; CREATE TABLE t3 (a INT, b CHAR (20), PRIMARY KEY (a)) ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC; CREATE TABLE t4 (a INT, b CHAR (20), PRIMARY KEY (a)) ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED;
InnoDB table properties may also be queried
using the
InnoDB Information Schema system
SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_SYS_TABLES WHERE NAME='test/t1' \G *************************** 1. row *************************** TABLE_ID: 42 NAME: test/t1 FLAG: 1 N_COLS: 5 SPACE: 24 FILE_FORMAT: Antelope ROW_FORMAT: Compact ZIP_PAGE_SIZE: 0 1 row in set (0.02 sec)
Defining a Primary Key for InnoDB Tables
Always set up a primary
key for each
InnoDB table, specifying
the column or columns that:
Are referenced by the most important queries.
Are never left blank.
Never have duplicate values.
Rarely if ever change value once inserted.
For example, in a table containing information about people, you
would not create a primary key on
lastname) because more than one person can have the
same name, some people have blank last names, and sometimes
people change their names. With so many constraints, often there
is not an obvious set of columns to use as a primary key, so you
create a new column with a numeric ID to serve as all or part of
the primary key. You can declare an
auto-increment column
so that ascending values are filled in automatically as rows are
-- The value of ID can act like a pointer between related items in different tables. CREATE TABLE t5 (id INT AUTO_INCREMENT, b CHAR (20), PRIMARY KEY (id)); -- The primary key can consist of more than one column. Any autoinc column must come first. CREATE TABLE t6 (id INT AUTO_INCREMENT, a INT, b CHAR (20), PRIMARY KEY (id,a));
Although the table works correctly without defining a primary
key, the primary key is involved with many aspects of
performance and is a crucial design aspect for any large or
frequently used table. It is recommended that you always specify
a primary key in the
statement. If you create the table, load data, and then run
ALTER TABLE to add a primary key
later, that operation is much slower than defining the primary
key when creating the table.
See the docs on "SHOW TABLE STATUS", for example http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/SHOW_TABLE_STATUS.html.
if [ ! -f "$HOME/.my.cnf" ]; then
echo "Please create a ~/.my.cnf first"
exit 1
mysql -B -N -e "SHOW DATABASES" mysql \
| grep -E -v '^(mysql|information_schema)$' \mysql -B -N -e "SHOW TABLES" "$database" \
| while read database; do
| while read table; do
echo "+ Converting Table $table ($database)"
mysql -B -N -e "ALTER TABLE $table ENGINE = InnoDB" "$database"
exit 0
#use information_schema;
#select TABLE_NAME, ENGINE from TABLES where TABLE_SCHEMA='db';

I finally watched the movie Brave and like everyone else, I was amazed at the animation of her hair. Wow. As a curly girl myself, it was uplifting to imagine all the little kids in the audience being shown that curls can be beautiful.
Regardless of the verbal message that everyone is pretty if you're happy and healthy, our modern culture still defines ugly as anything "umkempt" and "frizzy" which pretty much describes natural curly hair without all the products and special cuts. Growing up with this obvious message, especially with a biological sister with blond, straight hair, gave me a defensive attitude. I could bore you with many stories of the rude, hurtful, and frankly racist comments I received throughout my childhood about my hair, but I'll spare you the details.
Instead, I want to focus on how my family could carry the genetics of such different types of hair. My sister has blond, straight hair. I have dark, curly hair. ( When we were taking biology in high school, we actually checked, and we have every single mendelian trait different from each other.) We would often wonder what our children would look like. Four babies later, it's very interesting. Continue Reading "Brave Curls DNA" »

Right now, the tourney itself is still being set up and will be set in stone on Selection Sunday (check out ESPN or whoever else that's doing coverage). However, in the meanwhile, you can sign up and join the CAG group to reserve your spot. The deadline to get your picks in is five minutes before the first game starts on Thursday, March 21.
Entry Guide: Just head to here to create your bracket and then go here and enter the group ID# (1793) and password (breadsdone) to sign up and join the group. The only thing I require of you is to post here if your pick set name or yahoo ID doesn't match your CAG ID so that I know it's you.
If I see people who haven't done this the Wednesday night before the tournament starts (March 20), you will be booted. I will have a list of everyone involved, so you have to be on the list to be eligible to win. I will make a check on the list to line up everyone the night before tipoff and boot anyone I cannot link to a CAG username, so you will have a chance to get back in if you let me know who you are. I will make the final sweep just before tipoff and kick any stragglers left on the list. I thought I didn't need to say this, but only one bracket is allowed per CAG. If I catch anybody with two brackets, both will be kicked out if they do not remove one of them.
Two years ago, Yahoo started allowing people to join groups after the tipoff, so I will be changing the password when tipoff happens to prevent late joiners from crashing the party. I would also prefer that those entering the contest be from the United States and Canada to minimize shipping costs and the chances of shipment errors. I also have the ability to alter the rules if other changes to Yahoo's Tourney rules have been made that interfere with the ones for the contest. The group can hold up to 500 people, so I think we'll have enough for anyone that wants to join. If we do reach that total, I'll create a new group for the rest of the CAGs that want to enter.
I will probably pick winners the same way I did last year: the top 3 scorers will get prizes. Depending on how many prizes there are, the top winner will get first pick on the list, then second place, and third place gets what's left. Any donators that win will be barred from choosing their own prizes.
Feel free to chat about the tourney, your team's chances, and all that fun stuff once you sign up. If you have any questions post here. Good luck to everyone that enters.
Also, keep your posts civil and mature. If you can't do that, then don't post in this thread.

text: His averages and Hayes are pretty comprable considering that the minutes each one plays. However, the Pistons don't give a damn about youth. Their opinion is "screw them," let them come back when they are about 30 and know how to play. SCREW DETROIT'S COACHES, they are killing the future of the team. You can't continue to expect that veteran FA pickup will get you through as your core continues to age. This team won't have much of a future if they don't start utilizing their draft picks in a productive manner.

After years of searching, man reunites with beloved pet
BUTTE, Mont. - For the first time in a half a decade, Mike Taylor sees his bird Love Love
"I've been kind of looking for him this whole time," Taylor said.
The 25 year-old macaw he'd owned for years was stolen from his home in Great Falls, he said. Taylor spent more than five years searching.
"I've always kind of looked on Craigslist and everything," he said, about his efforts to find Love Love.
Then last week, Taylor's friend Steve Campbell told him something that gave him hope.
"I said, 'No I know that's your bird," Campell recounted. He said he saw Love Love at Montana's Parrot & Exotic Bird Sanctuary (MPEBS) in Butte.
Taylor immediately called them up.
"He started to describe various things that only he would have known," said MPEBS founder Lori McAlexander.
From one blind eye, to a funny growing beak and a backwards toe, to loving the game "peek-a-boo-" McAlexander said Taylor gave a spot-on description of the bird she'd been caring for. She knew it was Taylor's macaw.
Turns out, she thought Love Love was girl and named Scarlett- from the person who surrendered the bird to the sanctuary.
Now, Scarlett is back to Love Love- and can finally go back home.
"Hangs upside down already, let me grab his beak, does his peeky-boo, likes to tuck his head," said Taylor, about how fast Love Love picked up his old tricks again.
Taylor said it's been a long time, but he could tell the bird recognized Taylor right away.
"Very heart touching," Taylor said. "He's to himself again already, he really is. I mean, he [didn't] forget."

SAP BusinessObjects (BO) 4.0 suite is here. It's been in the ramp-up phase since last fall; according to our sources, SAP plans to announce its general availability sometime in May, possibly at Sapphire. It's about a year late (SAP first told Forrester that it planned to roll it out in the spring of 2010, so I wanted to include it in the latest edition of the Forrester Wave™ for enterprise BI platforms but couldn't), and the big question is: Was it worth the wait? In my humble opinion, yes, it was! Here are seven major reasons to upgrade or to consider SAP BI if you haven't done so before:

2005 San Andreas 2 Player
GTA: San Andreas - Community News | @ 10:55 PM MDT | By rappo
It seems like another rendition of a San Andreas multiplayer game is already underway. However, this one is currently a little smaller than the rest that are currently being created, but the authors are planning on chaning that. Here is some information:
He made San Andreas online in two days. Thing is, it's only 2 people. It's like 2 Player for PS2 but online, and 10x better. At the moment, he's trying to get syncing issues down and right. He's currently fixing up bugs with vehicle movement/syncing. He'll finish up the on foot syncing and then vehicle once again. Then off to the animations etc. It should be out soon, publicly. Enjoy the screens I took yesterday. (When he made the mod, so shh if you think it's crap. And NO, you can't have it yet.) Spread the word, another Multiplayer is being made. He will eventually add more players, so don't get angry.
For more information, please visit this GTA Warehouse Forums or the official SA2P forums.
Big thanks to LuigiBrotha for the links!

14,050-lb. truck
The model 245 features a four-cylinder, four-cycle water-cooled engine, rated at a maximum horsepower of 175, and a top torque of 376 ft.-lbs. The vehicle offers four-speed automatic transmission and a top speed of 78 mph. It offers a tight turning radius, helpful for negotiating small or crowded sites. The all-steel, welded cab includes a number of ergonomic and comfort-enhancing features, including an adjustable reclining seat, easy-to-read instrumentation, and standard air conditioning. Options include a cold-weather package (including a heated mirror and block heater), fender-mounted mirror, and cloth seats. Hino Trucks. www.hino.com.
Low-cab-forward trucks
N-Series gas-powered trucks feature Vortec 6-L, V8 engines with a maximum of 325 hp, and a four-speed automatic transmission with lockup torque converter and overdrive. Choose from four wheelbase options that accommodate bodies from 10 to 20 ft., body/payload combinations from 6829 to 9411 lbs., and gross vehicle weights up to 14,500 lbs. The cab offers plenty of head, leg, and shoulder room, plus plenty of storage in the dashboard, driver-seat back, glove compartment, and shelves. The vehicle also can accommodate radios, GPS equipment, rear-view cameras, and other optional features. Isuzu Commercial Truck of America. www.isuzucv.com.
Hybrid diesel/electric truck
The Granite MP7-365M combines the power of a turbocharged diesel engine (rated at 365 hp) with a permanent-magnet, synchronous-motor "electric machine." The electric machine helps the engine provide torque to the wheels and regenerate energy during braking; the energy is then stored and used in place of the diesel fuel. The feature provides optimal fuel savings during trips on routes that require frequent braking and acceleration, such as refuse collection. The feature could reduce fuel consumption by as much as 35% in comparison to conventional diesel-only vehicles. Mack Trucks Inc. www.macktrucks.com.
Hybrid buses
The company has partnered with its Allison Transmission Inc. division to provide hybrid-powered buses to municipal transportation departments across the country. The vehicles are run by an advanced parallel hybrid-electric powertrain that consists of a battery pack, two electric motors, and a traditional diesel engine. The end result: up to 90% reduction in carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions, up to 50% reduction in carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions, and up to 75% reduction in fuel usage. The technology also leads to reduced maintenance costs and extended oil life. General Motors Corp. www.gm.com.
Utility hybrid
The model 335 hybrid utility truck incorporates a Terex TC-55 Hi-Ranger Body and is powered by a PX-6 engine, which generates up to 260 hp and 560 ft.-lbs. of torque. The vehicle works with Eaton Corp.'s hybrid electric drive system—when engaged, the hybrid system can boost the truck's power to 300 hp and torque to 860 ft.-lbs. It regenerates lithium-ion batteries to electrically operate the PTO and is ideal for municipal utility applications, including the grueling stop-and-go requirements of a refuse collection route. The system offers up to a 40% improvement in fuel efficiency when on-road fuel economy gain is combined with use of the batteries to operate the truck body. Peterbilt. www.peterbilt.com.
Workhorse hybrids
The company's DuraStar hybrid vehicles offer medium-duty performance with a high degree of fuel efficiency. The trucks offer up to 225 hp, and they feature a six-speed automated manual hybrid drive. An optional extended cab seats up to six people comfortably. Each vehicle includes the programmable Diamond Logic electrical system, safety interlocks, and self-diagnostics that alert the operator to potential problems before they happen, prevent inadvertent operating mistakes and electrical shorts, and signals when it's time for scheduled maintenance. International Truck and Engine Corp. www.internationaldelivers.com.
