Two brothers, William and Theobaldner Ludwig, formed the Ludwig Company with a single product, a bass drum pedal capable of playing faster beats than was typical of products of the time. Building merchandise in a rented barn on the south side of Chicago, the Ludwig brothers next developed a hydraulic action timpani and, in 1916, invented a spring mechanism—the basis for the current Balanced Action Pedal Timpani. Production then expanded into other types of drums and banjo-type instruments, especially brass snare drums and wooden drums.
From 1925-1930, Ludwig made two models of ukulele-banjo, each being prized by players of the instrument to this day. During the Great Depression of the 1930s, the company merged with the C.G. Conn Company. William F. Ludwig left the company in 1936, opening his own company, the W.F.L. Drum Company, in 1937. The first product of W.F.L. was the Speed King pedal, a product later manufactured by Ludwig and continuing production to this date. In 1955, the Ludwig division was purchased back from Conn and renamed the Ludwig Drum Company. In 1973, William F. Ludwig, Sr. died, and was succeeded by his son, William F. Ludwig Bradfield, Jr. Read More>

STARKVILLE, Miss.--Mississippi State University's assistant director for the International Institute and ambassador for the Fulbright International Exchange Program is receiving his third Fulbright scholarship.
In September, the prestigious award will enable Stephen Cottrell to travel to Nha Trang, Vietnam, for a nine-month appointment to teach American regional studies and cultural awareness measurements.
After sponsored visits to Thailand in 2007 and Japan in 2009, Cottrell was named in 2012 as a Fulbright Scholars Alumni Ambassador.
As an ambassador, he represents the J. William Fulbright International Exchange Program at campus workshops and academic conferences across the United States. Increasing the diversity of participants, as well as the range of higher educational institutions represented, are among key priorities of he and other ambassadors.
MSU has been recognized as one of the nation's top producers of Fulbright Scholars, ranking with Harvard, Columbia and Cornell universities, among others.
"Since the Fulbright, by its very nature, contributes to the national and international economic sustainability, ecosystem sustainability, and socioeconomic well-being of both sender and receiver countries and respective educational institutions, it is a powerful fit for MSU," Cottrell said.
The MSU doctoral graduate in educational leadership said his goal while in Southeastern Vietnam will be "to aid in increasing the number of highly qualified undergraduates from Vietnam, while building a foundation for Mississippi State faculty to consider competing for a Fulbright in that nation."
Earlier, his time at Thailand's Mae Jo University focused on community land sustainability via higher education organizational reframing to accommodate community needs. During his visit to Japan's University of Nagasaki-Siebold, he lectured and participated in programs focused on the geography of Cambodia and its influence on current realities of that nation.
Before beginning his higher education career, Cottrell was a refugee resettlement coordinator for a decade with the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. He worked in Southeast Asian camps for Vietnamese, Khmer, Hmong and Lao refugees.
Returning to the U.S., he coordinated resettlement programs along the Northern Gulf Coast for Vietnamese fishermen, as well as Cambodian Khmer Rouge survivors.
A Marine in South Vietnam during the war, he also has worked as a Peace Corps volunteer in Thailand and teacher in Iran. His personal experiences include taking a "walkabout" from the Afghanistan border to England.
Cottrell holds three other degrees, including a bachelor's from the University of South Alabama, a master's from MSU in cultural geography and a second master's in teaching English as a foreign language (applied linguistics) from the University of Northern Iowa. His research interests focus on cultural influences on higher education's organizational structure, strategy and goals.
In his current MSU position, Cottrell works with foreign universities, agencies and embassies in international development. He serves as a senior university official on matters concerning international student and scholar immigration issues. He also teaches graduate and undergraduate cultural geography courses on Asia, Latin America, the American South, and urbanization.
Also as an ambassador, he regularly encourage colleagues to apply for Fulbright scholarships, and serves as an information resource for both MSU faculty and those at other institutions of higher learning.
A number of MSU faculty members recently have served in Armenia, Romania, Kosovo, and the Republic of Mauritius, among other locales.
The Fulbright Program is the flagship international educational exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government and is designed to increase mutual understanding between people of the United States and people of other countries. For more information, visit www.cies.org or contact Cottrell at 662-325-8460.

Treece: Another look at the Federal Reserve SystemWritten by Ben Treece | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Note: Part 2 in a series. Part 1 here.
When the United States was still on the gold standard, depositors could literally take their greenback notes to a bank and exchange them for gold or silver. Great Britain used to be on the gold standard as well, until 1914 and the start of World War I, when their need for cash to finance the war surpassed the need to trade currency for metal. Following World War I, the U.S. became the world financial leader as it was not bogged down by debt and excessive spending from the war, and had roughly as much gold as all of Europe combined.
Following the war and the start of the '20s, the U.S. had a brief bout of unemployment and inflation, but the fiscal policies of Presidents Harding and Coolidge helped introduce an economic boom. During this decade, the Federal Reserve took on a policy of expanding credit by setting interest rates very low and minimizing reserve requirements for member banks. This resulted in drastic growth of money supply and consumers overleveraging themselves, a perfect set-up for a depression.
Just before the crash of 1929, the Fed did attempt to combat the crisis by raising rates and slowing down the economy, but it was too late. Rising rates resulted in bank runs and lending institutions simply had no money to give; many closed their doors for good. Of course, this was before the days of FDIC.
Fastforward to 1944 and the Bretton Woods Conference. Out of this gathering the International Money Fund (IMF) and International Bank of Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) were formed, but there was a much larger and more important result of this gathering. It was mandated that all of the participating nations at Bretton Woods must tie their currency through an exchange rate to the U.S. dollar (USD). Therefore, while the USD was tied to gold, all other currencies were tied to the USD, essentially making the Fed the "World's Bank."
By 1965, spending and inflation were out of hand with Lyndon B. Johnson's "Great Society." The Fed knew at that point that the only way to combat the out-of-control inflation rate was to raise interest rates, but LBJ would not allow it, as he felt that rising rates would hinder the progress his administration had made. In 1971, Richard Nixon took the U.S. off the gold standard, and for the first time in U.S. history our currency was only worth the full faith and credit of the United States government.
For those interested in learning more beyond this series, Treece Investment Advisory Corp. will host a film screening of the Federal Reserve documentary "Money for Nothing: Inside the Federal Reserve" at 6:30p.m. Dec. 3 at the Maumee Indoor Theatre. There is no cost to attend, but we do require reservations, as seating is limited. Anyone who would like to attend may call our office at (419) 843-7744 or email your name, telephone number and the number of seats you would like to reserve to firstname.lastname@example.com.

I enjoy surfing the net to read what the various financial sites are writing concerning retirement planning and other financial planning topics. On one such foray I discovered that the founder of the Vanguard Mutual Fund Group, Jack Bogle, holds the view that retirees should include their Social Security benefits as a part of their overall retirement assets. In so doing, one would treat those benefits as a fixed income component.
Let's take the example of a person who has reached age 66 this year and will begin to receive $2,834 per month from Social Security and that those benefits will increase each year by 1 percent. If that person lives to his/her normal life expectancy of 21 years, those total benefits would amount to more than $790,000. Valuing that future stream of income using an interest rate of 3 percent would give us a net present value of $574,000. Then, if that person had $500,000 of monies in various retirement accounts, using Bogle's technique would mean that this "portfolio" was allocated 46 percent of equities and 54 percent to fixed income assets.
Bogle goes on to say that such an allocation would be just about right for a 66-year-old, since Bogle would recommend 66 percent into fixed income investments and 34 percent into equities. Using Bogle's rule of thumb, a 40-year-old would allocate 40 percent to fixed dollar investments and 60 percent to equities.
If you want to estimate your Social Security benefits, you can go to www.ssa.gov, establish your online account and take a look at your projected benefits, or in my case, my actual benefits. If you can use a financial calculator or have excel on your PC, you can determine what the present value of your benefits would be at various assumed interest rates.
My personal view is to focus on income, and if this 66-year-old wanted a total gross income of $60,000, he would have to generate $26,000 of income from his $500,000 nest egg. That means that he would have to withdraw 5.2 percent of his assets in each year, and to prevent his nest egg from disappearing before he does, his investment adviser would have to generate net returns greater than that withdrawal rate in order for this person not to outlive his income.
Another personal rule of thumb that I have is to remember that if your investment time horizon is greater than five years, you should discuss with your investment adviser having at least half of your retirement assets in equities.
On another topic, the fog has lifted and tax experts now agree that high income wage earners are going to take it in the ear, taxwise, this year and in the years ahead. For starters, the increased Medicare Earned Income Tax of 2.35 percent kicks in for single filers at $200,000 of AGI, and $250,000 for married, filing jointly. Remember that this additional tax applies to all of one's earned income. Additionally, the Medicare Investment tax of 3.8 percent is now levied on net investment income for these same folks.
The value of itemized deductions will be diminished for singles with AGI's greater than $250,000 and married greater than $300,000. These deductions will be reduced by multiplying 3 percent times the amount of income that exceeds this threshold amount. (There are some exceptions, however). So, if I am married, filing jointly, with an AGI of $425,000, my itemized deductions will be reduced by $125,000 times 3 percent, or $3,750. Moreover, my personal exemptions will be reduced by 2 percent for each $2,500 that my income exceeds the threshold. Using the same income amounts, my personal exemptions would be eliminated entirely.
Every working individual will experience the impact of increased Social Security taxes. A person, who earns the maximum income counted for Social Security this year of $113,700, will see his Social Security taxes go up from $4,620 last year to $7,049 this year, a $2,429 increase.

Most of us take mathematical modeling for granted. After all, we're taught physics and calculus almost hand-in-hand. But we owe a lot to the early pioneers like Isaac Newton, who demonstrated and strongly promoted interpreting natural phenomena through equations. Differential equations are especially useful since most things change as time marches on. Since we live in 3D space, partial differential equations (i.e., equations that express change in more than one "direction") arise as the prominent tool to express continuum level […]Read more ⇢

Many of the products that engineers design experience cyclic stresses during use that are below the material's yield stress; unfortunately, these stresses can still be the primary reason for failure. Thus, engineers and designers must find ways of including the effects of cyclic stresses when designing products for long-term use.Read more ⇢

Dammit, Canada! Don't you know it's nearly April?! MELT YOUR DAMN SNOW!
But you know, the first thing that came to mind when Jobs announced that Apple had shaved a few pounds and inches off the original iPad was that iPad 2 is probably now the world's most portable sledding device. If only they had taken that into consideration when they were designing those Smart Covers...
TiPb TV 18: Ultimate iPad case sledding challenge
You asked us to put the Otterbox Defender head-to-head against the Incipio Destroyer in a proper, traditional Smartphone Experts style review and... I thought to heck with that. We're doing an Amazing Case episode of TiPb TV. No, not a Jiu-Jitsu death-match or scratch test or water torture, this time we're taking the Defender and the Destroyer out onto the frigid Canadian slopes, we're putting them up against ice and snow and mud and rocks -- we're literally putting our butts on the line to stress test them for the TiPb nation!
We've previously taken a look at how to put on and take off the Destroyer and how to install and remove the Defender. This time we took them... sledding! Now the Defender's outer layer is silicon (Destroyer puts that layer inside) and non-stick might be great for grip but not for racing down a hill. So we had to take that off. Destroyer is also literally screwed together. With differences like that, could it be a fair test? Could we figure out which one would best keep your iPad protected (and me alive?)
Hit play and find out!

Fixed audio. Sorry about that!
Any particular you would recommend? Do they need a mixer or can they go straight into a Mac?
Oh LOL fastlane picking on an abbreviation as if it were an actual brand name! Hilarious! You should have your own sitcom fastlane. I'm telling you - with those quick jokes and brilliant humor, you're on your way to having ...tens of viewers.
@Rene - I'll email you a few choices later. There's some higher end, some lower end, and some you can just throw into an iOS device if that's what you're using to capture your video content.
@fastlane - You spend way too much time correcting grammar mistakes. Who cares if there is a typo. If you are so poorly educated that you can not make out the point the writer is trying to get across, that is your fault.
Do you want to be known as someone who brings positive or negative comments to the forum.
The more posts of yours that I read, the less respect I have for the ones of value. Based on comments from others, it's across the board.
I hope I don't get one of the sledded-on cases when I buy from your store ... ;-)
I hope CSST is going to pay for that injury.
Very original, but I rarely encounter snow here in Hawaii. Would you consider doing a "buried alive" test in sand or soil? Keep up the good work :)
You guys got a 1 new fan, that was pretty cool.
Guys, I think you are without a doubt, the last people to 'sled' down Centennial Park Mountain.
Sweet.. I wonder if my girlfriend is as tough as Georgia. I will make a video of her using it as a bulletproof vest here in Brooklyn.
I wish I was one of those cases!
I think you should do the test with an iPad in the case and then tell us how the iPad faired.
ha, destroyer vs. defender. just though about that :)

An LED inside the candle projects warm golden light onto a plastic flame that vacillates like a wind-drawn wick. The candlelight's faithful movement is generated by like-pole magnets inside the candle and the flame that perpetually sway the light source like an actual flickering flame. The pillar candle has a 100% paraffin wax exterior with a cascading front edge that looks to be melting, resulting in accent lighting that's indistinguishable from a burning candle. The 4"-diameter candle produces a subtle vanilla scent, it has a timer that automatically turns the candle on for five hours at the same time every day, or it can be turned on manually. Requires two D batteries that provide up to 500 hours of light.

Great for office
By RIM
from Minnesota
We have a no candle policy in our offices. It is great to have a candle I can use and enjoy in my office. It helps to get through the winter darkness. People are surprised by how realistic it looks.

Gelling together as a cohesive unit during its eight-game winning streak, Carroll County's young volleyball team is starting to come of age. Never was that more apparent than Thursday night when the Cavaliers battled back from a huge deficit to knock off previously undefeated Marion in five games in a Southwest District battle in Hillsville.
Down two games to one and facing deficits of 8-4 and 12-10 in the fourth game, Carroll County (9-3, 2-0 SWD) fought back for a 25-21 victory to force a fifth and deciding game. In the final game, the Cavaliers emerged with a 15-9 win to hand Marion (11-1, 1-1 SWD) its first loss of the season.
"I thought it was a big win for us," Carroll County head coach Cindy Edwards said. "To come back when we were down in the fourth game, the resiliency they showed to be so young…they could easily stop but they don't do that. They compete."
A much-improved and senior-oriented team, Marion took the first game 25-19 and went up two games to one with a 25-17 victory in the third game after Carroll took the second by a 25-16 count. The Cavs battled back thanks to tremendous play all around.
Autumn Hill led Carroll with four aces, and she also contributed 19 service points, two blocks and eight kills. Rachel Farmer was big at the net with four blocks, while Jessica Sheek led the team with 20 service points to go along with 15 kills and three aces. Eustacia Smith's 19 kills were a team high. She also chipped in three blocks, 17 service points and 12 digs.
Megan Alderman paced Carroll with 17 digs and 24 assists, while Cheyenne Strickland had 15 digs and 13 assists.
"They are a senior-oriented team. For us to beat them at home, it was huge because we have to go there and it will be difficult. I thought they were scrappy, thought they got some nice balls up and really put the pressure on us to execute a little bit more," Edwards said. "We are a young group. We have six sophomores, a freshman, six juniors and two seniors, so the execution of those girls being on the court and playing, their chemistry is just phenomenal. They just get along so well."
Both teams wore pink uniforms Thursday night as part of a Pink-Out game. Edwards said the team has been raising money for three groups, the Susan G. Komen Foundation, Emily's Wagon, and the American Cancer Society. Between a car wash, trash pick-up at the Flea Market, a cruise-in and fundraisers with shirts and wristbands, the volleyball team has raised approximately $4,000 for cancer awareness when combined with funds raised from the Sept. 25 Powderpuff Football game.
"They have done just an awesome job. Those kids have put in a lot of hard work to raise that money," Edwards said.

The region tennis tournament was held this past weekend at Whitesburg. Teams from across the region competed for a shot at the state tournament, and when the smoke had cleared, Hazard's Natalie Morton stood atop the girls' singles division, earning a trip to the state competition.
Morton, the region's top seed, began the quest with a match-up against Knott Central's Callie Chaney. Morton blew through the contest, matching her against Megan Hall of June Buchanan.
Morton got off to a bit of a slow start against Hall, but quickly got into a rhythm. The win put her in the semifinals on Sunday.
Because of rain, the final day of play was moved to the Pavilion in Hazard. Morton started the day with Brittany Wright of Letcher. It would be the toughest match of the tournament to date, but Morton was able to pull out the convincing win.
All that stood between Morton and the region title now was Kennidi Damron of Knott County Central. The first set was tight, but Morton stood strong and came away with the 6-4 win. The momentum was now clearly on Morton's side of the court, and she did not let up. Set number two, and the title, went to Morton as she cruised to the 6-2 win.

Pretty brown earrings! You don't see too many brown earrings out there, so I couldn't resist trying these; they are really beautiful in person. They are also not heavy at all, unlike a lot of Bebe earrings, so they are comfortable enough to wear all day. May 3, 2013

My current project
is a fantastical adventure of
Wood, Vapor, and Flesh.
Tree of Stone
You can play the Classic Mac versions of The Fool's Errand, At the Carnival, and 3 in Three
on Windows XP & upward using the Executor emulator. Click here for details.
You can write me at email@example.com.
If you have a B&W Mini vMac (System 6.08 disk image), here are the 3 .dsk files.

"Cliff Johnson's The Fool & His Money is a great game. Puzzle fanatics will be talking about and analyzing it for decades, just as they still do the original Fool's Errand. I'm happy to award, for the first time in my reviewing career, The Fool & His Money, a long-overdue but well-deserved A plus. We, God forbid, may never see another game of its genius and quality in our lifetimes... "
Greg Collins — Just Adventure— Review
"It was worth the wait. It was worth all the wait. If you loved The Fool's Errand, you'll love The Fool and His Money, and even if you've never played the original, those among us who fill out GAMES Magazine's Pencilwise section in ink, will have a lot to like. It is by no means a game that can be rushed through with no effort... Every puzzle has a logic to it that may be befuddling at first but perfectly obvious in retrospect. Every tiny step you push forward in the plot will make you feel very smart indeed..."
Patrick Augustine — JayIsGames — Review — Walkthrough
"I highly recommend this game to folks who love puzzles, remember the old Fool's Errand game fondly, or simply want a diversion that doesn't require expert hand-eye coordination. I'm not a gamer by any means, but I have been enjoying my time with Cliff Johnson's latest masterpiece... The nearly ten year wait was worth every day and I hope we get at least one more great game from the man who I still regard as the foremost expert at puzzle game design..."
Scott Baret — Mac 512 — Review
"You should play this game — if you like puzzles, if you like challenges, if you like working all-out on crazy-hard puzzles where they barely even tell you the rules. The Fool's Errand was a great game; The Fool and His Money is a better game..."
Andrew Plotkin — Gameshelf — Review — (Opinion)

BOONVILLE - Starmount edged East Wilkes 36-35 last Wednesday to notch their fourth Mountain Valley Conference victory of the season.
The Rams lost eight of the 14 matches, but recorded four pins and two forfeits in their six triumphs to pull out the win.
Sergio Sarinara, Ian Fennell, Michael Wood and Garrett Stokes all pinned their opponent to power Starmount past the Cardinals.
Fennell (29-4), the 10th-ranked wrestler according to Retro Rankings bounced back from just his fourth defeat of the season, a 6-4 loss to West Iredell's Travis Reed last week. Wood (28-1) won his 15th-straight match since losing to Forbush's Dylan Edwards in December.
Colby Cooper, Jesse Laws, Eli Billings and Tony Gregory all pinned their opponents for the Cardinals, while Jake Shore battled for a tech fall at 145.
Derrick Woodie, Zach Prevette and Ryne Lentz rounded out the scoring for East with wins.

By Tracy Steffenson
I have been called a feminist by many people over the years, and I am proud to say that I am one. Not the "burn our bras" type but more the "I don't have to have anyone to get things done" type. I wish that more people would step into this mind set and realize that life is not a fairy tale, and this goes for the guys out there as well.
Yes there are those of us who have found our knights in shinning armor (or princess) but they are not the same as Sleeping Beauty's knight or Sleeping Beauty herself. They don't slay dragons and go after the wicked witch, they don't stand quietly by waiting for you to need something, but they do protect us, love us and listen to us, most of the time.
The youth of today seems to think that these, and other fairy tales are really the way life is. Think of what you want and "POOF" there it is. That is so far from how real life works that it almost makes you laugh until the point you want to cry. To get what you want out of life you have to work hard, be a good person, be dedicated and except your mistakes.
It is no wonder, however, why the 80's generation (and the generation spawned by them) has a delusional view of how life is really supposed to be. Females wait for their prince to stroll through the door and save them, guys hanging out on a couch doing nothing all day but watching T.V. making it by. Forget that. Save yourselves because if you want anything out of life, you have to be willing to put in the work.
Look at the role models that we had. For the girls it were cartoons like Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Jem and the Holograms and She-Ra. These women ran from their problems or did nothing to better their situation, until someone else came and saved them or they had something magical helping them out. And for the guys out there: Beavis and Butthead, He-Man and Popeye. Oh that is a great set of roll models. We have the couch guys, a dude that can do anything with a weapon and a dude that eats something and becomes unstoppable.
You can't just sit idly by and have things handed to you just because you want them or think you deserve them (well most of us can't anyway). You have to get up off of your backsides and go get what you want. And I am in no way telling you to steal it. I mean get out and work for it. You want a knight in shinning armor, be the kind of person who deserves to have a great person by your side. You want to have expensive things, work and save your money to buy them. I think you get my point.
It is time for us to break away from the stereotypes that have been placed on the younger generations and actually do something with our lives besides make everyone else's miserable. And I don't necessarily just mean 30 years and younger, although there is where most of the problem are, I am talking about anyone that this fits. Heck they could be in their 40's, 50's or even 60's and still acting like this.
It is time for individuals to start benefiting society instead of taking away and devastating things that other are trying to achieve. Then when you find the one guy that would have saved you (or the woman who would have waited on you hand and foot), they don't have to and you are a more independent and successful individual.

We many times wrote about InnoDB scalability problems, this time We are faced with one for MyISAM tables. We saw that several times in synthetic benchmarks but never in production, that's why we did not escalate MyISAM scalability question. This time working on the customer system we figured out that box with 1 CPU Core […]

InnoDB in self-compiled MySQL 5.1
If you like to compile MySQL from sources by yourself, for different needs, like debugging, testing etc, you probably can face this issue. What I usually do to fast compile and test is
./configure --prefix=/dir/to/mysql
make install
and then, for example, load the dump of InnoDB from previous version:
mysql testdatabase < dump.sql
I bet you will not notice all your […]
Pitfalls of converting to InnoDB
We often recommend to our clients to convert their current database from MyISAM tables to InnoDB. The transfer by itself in most cases is almost plain, however the application can be broken by new unexpected errors 1205 (ER_LOCK_WAIT_TIMEOUT) Lock wait timeout expired. Transaction was rolled back. 1213 (ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK) Transaction deadlock. You should rerun the transaction.
Using MyISAM in production
There were recently number of posts about MyISAM, for example Arjen wrote pretty nice article about MyISAM features so I thought I would share my own view on using MyISAM in production. For me it is not only about table locks. Table locks is only one of MyISAM limitations you need to consider using it […]
A closer look at the MySQL ibdata1 disk space issue and big tables
A recurring and very common customer issue seen here at the Percona Support team involves how to make the ibdata1 file "shrink" within MySQL. I can only imagine there's a degree of regret by some of the InnoDB architects on their design decisions regarding disk-space management by the shared tablespace* because this has been a big […]
Getting to know TokuDB for MySQL
During last April's Percona Live MySQL Conference and Expo, TokuDB celebrated it's first full-year as an open source storage engine. I still remember reading the official announcement and the expectations it created one year ago. The premises were very interesting as it had the potential of helping MySQL manage "big data" in a way InnoDB just […]

Thanks to all who attended my webinar yesterday. The slides and recording are available on the webinar's page.

However, […]
The ARCHIVE Storage Engine – does it do what you expect?
Sometimes there is a need for keeping large amounts of old, rarely used data without investing too much on expensive storage. Very often such data doesn't need to be updated anymore, or the intent is to leave it untouched. I sometimes wonder what I should really suggest to our Support customers. For this purpose, the […]
Using the new spatial functions in MySQL 5.6 for geo-enabled applications
Geo-enabled (or location enabled) applications are very common nowadays and many of them use MySQL. The common tasks for such applications are: Find all points of interests (i.e. coffee shops) around (i.e. a 10 mile radius) the given location (latitude and longitude). For example we want to show this to a user of the mobile […]
Unexpected problem with triggers and mysqldump
Some time ago, I had to convert all tables of a database from MyISAM to InnoDB on a new server. The plan was to take a logical dump on the master, exporting separately the schema and the data, then edit the CREATE TABLE statements to ensure all tables are created with InnoDB, and reload everything […]

Sauder Woodworking thrives in ArchboldWritten by Duane Ramsey | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Sauder Woodworking Company in Archbold generated $450 million in business in 2011 and is off to an encouraging start in 2012, according to President and CEO Kevin Sauder who spoke at a luncheon held March 12 by the Rotary Club of Toledo and UT Center for Family and Privately-held Business.
Sauder is the third generation of his family to lead the business that has become the largest producer of ready-to-assemble (RTA) furniture and eighth largest manufacturer of furniture in the U.S., according to industry sources.
"We're very proud to be part of the growing economy in Northwest Ohio," Sauder said. "We're a non-union shop that pays union wages with a great work force and community support."
He said they expected their business to grow by 6 percent to 8 percent in 2012 but it has grown by 15 percent during the past six months. Sauder employs a total of 2,300 employees, most living in Archbold and nearby communities.
Sauder said the company has entered into two new markets now making caskets and wood-grained ceiling systems. It also has new contract work making all the kitchen cabinets sold in North America by Swedish retailer IKEA.
Sauder said it all started in 1934 when his grandfather, Erie Sauder, started making kitchen cabinets out of the barn on the family's property. He and his wife worked in the barn building cabinets, chicken coops and other assorted items.
A few years later, a nearby church burned down. Erie won the job of building new pews and expanded his business into church furniture. Through a subsidiary, Sauder Manufacturing, the company still makes about $65 million in church furniture today, Kevin said.
The company began making small inexpensive tables from maple, oak and walnut scraps left on the floor of the shop at the end of each day. Ernie called them "low-priced leftovers."
One day in 1940, two traveling salesmen stopped by Sauder's shop. They were intrigued by his low-priced tables and asked if they could take some samples to a furniture show in Chicago.
Sauder said they later returned with an order for 25,000 tables. Erie was stunned by the request and not sure that they could produce such a large quantity in his modest shop.
Erie secured a loan from a nearby bank that he used to incorporate his business, expand his production facilities and hire more workers. With the help of friends, relatives and workers, they were able to fill the order.
Sauder Woodworking grew with the post-World War II economic boom and demand for furniture. They received a request from a Detroit retailer in 1951 to figure out a way to make furniture lay flat in a box to significantly reduce shipping and storage costs.
Sauder envisioned and built a snap-together table that customers could build in their homes. With the patent he obtained for it, the company established the ready-to-assemble furniture industry.
Erie retired in 1974 when the company's sales reached $12 million annually. His son, Maynard took over the company with his brother, Myrl, who was in charge of engineering, research, and development.
Maynard was responsible for the company's investment in new production facilities in the 1990s that allowed its growth to continue. Sauder began mass production of furniture made with German equipment in what now includes 4 million square feet of manufacturing and warehouse space.
The company made and marketed RTA furniture including the first microwave cart on wheels, stereo, TV and entertainment centers for home use. Sauder products are sold through major national retailers with Walmart being the largest, as well as Target, Lowe's, Best Buy, and The Andersons of Maumee.
Maynard's son Kevin joined the business in 1988 after earning a bachelor's degree from Miami University and MBA from Duke University. He worked in the Triangle Research Park in North Carolina for three years before returning home to the family business.
Kevin got the company involved in making home office furniture sold in the office superstores such as Office Max, Office Depot and Staples.
"We've had a very good relationship with Walmart and all of our retail partners," Kevin said.
Kevin was named president in 1999 and president and CEO in 2001. Maynard served as chairman until he retired in December of 2011. Myrl now serves as chairman of the company.
Kevin is responsible for management and marketing for the company, while his brother, Dan, serves as executive vice president of engineering and product development, and brother-in-law Garrett Tinsmen as executive vice president of manufacturing operations.
One sister, Debbie, is executive director of the Historic Sauder Village in Archbold that will reopen May 1. Another sister, Diane, is a social worker and not involved in the family business.
Sauder acquired Progressive Furniture in 2001, adding health care furniture to diversify its business. It purchased Studio RTA in Los Angeles in 2003.
Today, Sauder produces and ships more than 40,000 furniture items each day that are sold in more than 70 countries.
Sauder designed and constructed a power-generating plant that converts sawdust into electricity. The plant burns more than 145 tons of sawdust every day, according to the company.

Nate Diaz defends Pat Healy, uses gay slur against 'guy who took the money' - MMA Fighting
Pat Healy forfeited over $130,000 in bonuses earned from his UFC 159 victory against Jim Miller after testing positive for marijuana in a post-fight drug test, leading UFC bantamweight Bryan Caraway to retroactively receive Healy's $65,000 Submission of the Night' bonus.
Healy's punishment has drawn widespread criticism across the mixed martial arts community, and on Thursday, Nate Diaz joined into that chorus. Diaz tweeted his support for Healy before hurling a homophobic slur indirectly at the "guy who took the money" on Twitter.

Common Hatred to rock The ZodiacWritten by Mike Bauman | | firstname.lastname@example.com
While it doesn't take most bands six years to put out a first record, Northwest Ohio's own Common Hatred isn't interested in being like most bands. As a progressive metal outfit, the quartet knows its brand of metal is in the minority and is proud to wave the prog flag.
"I think that anybody that likes metal can at least appreciate what we do," Common Hatred drummer Brad Babcock said. "And I know the people that are into the more prog type of stuff really enjoy it. There are a few bands around the area that are doing the same thing we're doing, and it's cool. It's kind of like a little family."
Common Hatred will try to bring more fans into that family when it plays at The Zodiac on April 28.
"At every show, we just try to put out as much intensity and emotion [as we can]," vocalist/guitarist Dan Gary said. "At every show, it's pretty much like my own personal therapy that's witnessed by the audience. I just want people to take away just how passionate we are about this, and that we're not just doing it for some sort of superficial gratification.
"This is in the core of all of us."
Rounded out by Brad's brother Ryan Babcock (bass) and Sam Wright (guitar), Common Hatred officially formed in February 2006. Now 28, Brad has been playing music with Wright since junior high, and the pair wanted to form a new group after their old band — Illicit Citizen — dissolved. Once they recruited Ryan, Brad said it took approximately a year-and-a-half to find the right singer in Gary, whom he met at Owens Community College in January of 2006.
"We were trying to be part of the music business program that never was," Brad said. "But we ended up taking a lot of music classes together, and that's how we kind of got our start with each other."
Though each had his own influences, with Gary a fan of "the heavier stuff" and Brad into the likes of Tool, Dream Theater, Yes and Rush, the pair shared a passion for metal.
"Metal's always been something that made sense to me," Gary said. "The pop stuff is fine. I respect every single kind of music, but heavy music and stuff like that — and the progressive music — are the only thing that just kind of made sense to me, and it's the kind of music that I love being [part of] and playing with these guys."
Released Jan. 17 via bandcamp.com, most of the material for Common Hatred's debut album "Sleeping Through The Apocalypse" was written about three years ago, but a lot has happened since the band's formation.
In addition to Brad and Wright each getting married, Brad — an Otsego grad — moved to Liberty Center approximately two years ago, where the pair began construction on Liberation Sound Studio at his new home.
"We spent a year building this place because actually [Wright] is a carpenter," Brad said of the studio, where Common Hatred recorded its debut album. "So me and Sam pretty much built this place. That took us about a year, and so [we] just kind of took a lot of time off getting everything together, and then it took us about another year to just wrap up recording and post-production and all that fun stuff."
The result is both an album and a process that Common Hatred is proud of in its debut effort. In progressive metal nature, the band jams out on the eight-song record; opening track "Accept The Grey" is the only track that clocks in under than seven minutes.
"I personally am of the mentality that when you have something to say, you should take as long as you need to say it and express yourself in that way," Gary said.
Now that Common Hatred has a feel for the recording process and some live experience under its collective belt, the band wants to expand beyond Northwest Ohio and begin touring regionally in Michigan and Indiana.
"We're not just doing the same old metal," Brad said. "It has been tough because it does go over some people's heads a little bit, and you always hear the joke about prog music as pretentious or whatever. We're definitely not pretentious."
On April 28, Common Hatred will perform at a show that also features Voodoo Nation (Godsmack tribute band) and Minus Elliot at The Zodiac, located at 135 S. Byrne Road. Doors are at 9 p.m. Tickets are $5 at Common Hatred's website, commonhatred.com. For more information, call (419) 536-2583.

If you have any questions you can find the answers in our MBT Shoes Frequently Asked Questions section.
Wearing MBT Shoes for the first time? Watch the MBT Shoes Instructional Video
The MBT Index simplifies the process of finding the right level of MBT shoe for your needs. It ranks MBT into one of three categories, starting at Activate, our least level of rock, and progressing through Dynamic and ending with our highest level of rock, Performance.
I have been wearing MBTs for . . . as long as they have been available in the U.S. They are the best-made, most supportive sneakers around. As a former dancer I have had 6 knee surgeries and heel strikes cause me tremendous pain. MBTs absorb heel strikes allowing me to walk and exercise in comfort. You cannot do better than a pair of MBTs.
True to Size
With several issues on both feet, thankfully I was introduced to these shoes at my local Footwear store in San Diego. I actually tried two other athletic shoes - wore then home and for a week - but had to take them both back. The MBT's are great though. Have to have my inserts in them of course. Didn't take too long to get used to the balance thing with them and I like it now - I've had them about two months.
Love these shoes! One knee was hurting after long hill walks but MBTs cured that instantly. Remarkable. This is my 3rd pair.
This is really great shoes! i can wear it the whole day. This is my 3rd pair of MBT and am just loving it each day! This is very comfortable and great to walk in.
I've been wearing MBT's since 2001 and was in despair when they disappeared for a while. But now they're back---and just as wonderful!
These shoes are very comfortable, fit well, clean up when scuffed, and are very well made. I taught for 30+ years with back and leg pain, but since I started with MBTs, I've had none for the last 10 years. I wear them to walk 2 miles a day with my dog, and they are great for that, too.
Great shoe and helps your Knees and back with releif from pain and stress.
This has been the first time I've ordered my MBTs online. I wore ONLY MBTs for 3-4 years due to Plantar Fasciatis, and now- the last 4 years, can wear other shoes for short times, but prefer MBTs the majority of the time. I am SO RELIEVED that I have found a place to order them, and they work! When I was unable to purchase at the retailer I had been going to, I bought another brand, Chung Shi, that was similar, and at least as expensive, but they did NOT work for me. I have this over $200 pair of shoes I cannot wear! :( But now I'm back, thank God! These shoes are still the basic same shoes, and they WORK for me, but they do not seem to be made with quite the same quality. This is not necessarily a problem however because I always wore through the soles of all of my original MBTs before the rest of the shoe began to look tired. I am hopeful that these will last ALMOST as long as my originals. I also found this website, Footwear Etc, to be a great website to deal with.
