We talked to Mark Matthews and Andy Bang, two core developers in the MySQL Enterprise Monitor team, to give us some insight into the new features in the latest MySQL Enterprise Release. You can find more about the MySQL Query Analyzer in our previous interview with Mark.
Sun Microsystems, Inc. today announced an update to its MySQL Enterprise subscription, designed to assist corporate users improve the speed and uptime of their MySQL database applications. Graphical enhancements to the MySQL Enterprise Monitor's Query Analyzer help DBAs and developers to better pinpoint database queries to avoid performance problems. With new visual correlation graphs, problem queries can now be filtered and analyzed by highlighting specific time-periods of interest with a few mouse-clicks - making it easier to quickly find spikes in key system resources, and fix problems rooted in inefficient SQL code.

Ticketmaster Entertainment, Inc. is the world leading event ticketing company. In 2001, due to the growing popularity of online sales of show and sports tickets, the demand for Ticketmaster.com began to exceed its capacity and caused stability issues. To solve the problem, Ticketmaster.com decided to move the Event database from Microsoft SQL Server to MySQL. MySQL enables Ticketmaster.com to achieve the 4x scalability, while consistently maintaining the average replication time of less than one second.

The MySQL Query Analyzer helps developers and DBAs improve application performance by monitoring query performance and accurately pinpointing SQL code that is causing a slow down. With the new clickable correlation graphs, problem queries can be filtered and analyzed by highlighting the timeframe of interest, which makes it even faster to identify SQL bottlenecks.
This paper explores common use cases and challenges faced by MySQL developers and DBAs in tuning SQL code. It also introduces the MySQL Query Analyzer and explains how it can be used to optimize queries during development and then to monitor applications in production environments.

Sooner or later, you're going to get that phone call (or email, SMS, instant message, tweet, or whatever): The database is slow! Fix ASAP! And you'll be expected to very quickly figure out what's slowing things down - often wither very little context, background, or sense of what may have changed recently at the application layer.

This is a classic problem but I was surprised to see that there's not a great deal of info on the web on how to do a proper daily report - one that doesn't have any gaps when data is missing. In this post I'll guide you through building such a report using MySQL and PHP for presentation.
In this paper we present a guide for setting up a development environment in order to leverage MySQL with Microsoft's Windows Server 2008 Failover Clustering feature. Although, not intended to be a guide for production deployments, it should give Windows developers, DBAs and system administrators a fundamental understanding of how to configure MySQL to use this feature.

In my years of teaching MySQL topics, I've noticed that many people write bad queries. It's not necessarily their fault. It could be that they don't understand some aspect of SQL, or that they solved the problem with the first technique that came to mind, or that their query is fine except that MySQL optimizes it poorly. I'll give a few examples.

If you have asynchronous replication where the slave database is using MySQL Cluster then you can use the NDB API events functionality to mask/overwrite data. You might do this for example if the replica is to be used for generating reports where some of the data is sensitive and not relevant to those reports.

Photos: Jasper Johal. Hard Tail's founder, Dick Cantrell, "Blows the Doors" Off of Made-in-USA Yoga Fashion (with Hot-t-t adverts).
All photos—and art direction—by the amazing yoga photographer Jasper Johal.
Part of a Series: This is What Effective Advertising Looks Like.
As a yoga/ecofashion/etc magazine publisher, I'm a great fan of simple clean evocative ads that don't clutter up the page, or the eye. Some of the best yoga ads out there are via LA-based Hard Tail, the yogawear maker. Since they don't advertise in elephant, you won't have ever heard of 'em, of course. But aside from gorgeous ads, their clothes are all MADE in USA, giving them a B on the ecofashion-ometer (They may not be organic, I don't know how fair-labor, but at least they're not shipped halfway across the world to be made by folks making 1/108th what we do). Here's a few for your enjoyment—you know they gotta be pretty-pretty if they inspire me to give their ads attention for free…
Preparing for this in-depth scholarly blog, I read Hard Tail's ABOUT page…and check this out. I want to hire this bio-writer to do one for me:
Focused and intense, businessman Dick Cantrell exudes a fighter pilot cool that is highly creative and positively charged. The lifeblood of Hard Tail's evolution from sportswear manufacturer to premium denim guru is rooted in the southern California lifestyle and its easy, relaxed, and casual lineage. He is first and foremost a sportswear pioneer who creates clothing that reflects the natural, sexy and sporty individuality of women today. Upon launching Hard Tail 15 years ago, he transcended the original premium tee-shirt by creating tattoo-inspired designs that provided an edgy twist. He never got lost in anyone's opinion as to what Hard Tail should be.
Cantrell blew the doors off the sportswear industry 15 years ago with the launch of Hard Tail by turning contemporary sportswear into casual, comfortable and chic urban-wear.
"Always made in the U.S.A" is not just a mantra, but a fundamental personal philosophy to Cantrell. His integrity hinges upon keeping the source of his inspiration and construction pure in order to keep standards and quality high."
I gotta meet this guy: fighter pilot cool?!
You can find Hard Tail at stylee yoga boutiques all over the West Coast, and online. Check 'em out. And tell 'em to support the hippest indie eco yoga magazine this side of Silver Lake.
Incorrect source, offensive, or found a typo? Email us (please put title in subject bar of email so we'll be able to fix). Or do you want to write for Elephant?

I think I could write you a better one…
I've been following their ads, too. I'm just spellbound every time. Can't take my eyes off of them and want to buy every color or every style each and every time I see their ads. That's great advertising. WOW. thanks for writing about them. And making a place where I could steer my friends to see a bunch of these photos in one spot! whew, what great images.
So glad they are keeping production domestic.
(another note: i tried to come back and show this to someone else and couldnt remember the name of the company. which makes me think these ads arent so "effective." at least not to me.)
[…] in a Series: This is What Effective Advertising Looks […]
[…] Kathryn Budig for Toesox (click for photos), and his exquisitely attractive yet tasteful work for Hard Tail's remarkable advertising campaign (click for photos). Here's a small sampling. For more, including his fashion, nude, and dance […]
[…] favorite Kathryn Budig's (nearly) naked ad campaign for Toesox, he photographs and designs Hard Tail's gorgeously clean, minimal ad campaign, and if we were still publishing elephant magazine, instead of elephantjournal.com, we'd […]
I had never heard of the brand, I am starting a online shop for yoga clothing in Denmark and would love to have Hardtail
[…] suggested HardTail: @yoga_mydrishti @nerdyyogini Indeed Hardtail are cute! Are they […]
I love their ads, they are very eye appealing. Almost geometric.
I simply could not depart your web site before suggesting that I actually enjoyed the usual info a person provide on your visitors? Is going to be back regularly in order to check up on new posts
of course like your web-site however you have to check the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Many of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very troublesome to tell the truth nevertheless I will certainly come back again.
A person necessarily assist to make severely posts I'd state. That is the very first time I frequented your web page and so far? I surprised with the analysis you made to create this particular post amazing. Great task!
Been wearing hard tail for about 15 years. Pieces that are 15 years old are still holding up. I reluctantly threw out my beloved turquoise om symbol t-shirt because it was so stretched out from wear. Wish that they would make that t-shirt again. Just love their clothes. They have a pretty amazing store in LA I hear.
wish they would ship to Canada! Or else list canadian retailers carrying their line on the site… guess that means a roadtrip in the spring!
Been a customer for a decade… and they've always had these ads? Mostly for their retailers to put out… Don't get it (this article). Anyway – someone said they hadn't heard of them: they have flagship stores at the promenade in Santa Monica and a show room in Miami. You can also buy at many boutiques and in Nordstrom!
it's because they do not make clothes for men anymore…
who better than some amazing yoginis to sport them?

SPOHN, ARTHUR EDWARD (1845–1913). Arthur Edward Spohn, physician, was born at Ancaster, Ontario, on April 27, 1845, and attended McGill University, Montreal, where he won the senior prize for practical anatomy in 1865. He attended medical school at the University of Michigan and trained at Long Island Hospital, New York, where he was assistant professor of surgical anatomy in 1867–68. In 1868 he was sent to Texas as United States surgeon in charge of the military quarantine at Galveston. In 1870 he invented a tourniquet for bloodless operations that was used as a field instrument by many armies of the world. He moved to Mier, Tamaulipas, Mexico, and in 1872 to Corpus Christi, Texas. In 1876 he married Sarah J. Kenedy. Shortly thereafter he took postgraduate courses at Bellevue Hospital and the University of New York. In 1888 he visited a number of clinics and hospitals in Europe. On November 20, 1891, he performed the first Porro-Caesarian delivery of osteomalacia in the United States, saving both the mother and child. In 1892–93 he studied in Philadelphia, where in 1894 he was elected to the board of censors of Medico Chirurgical College. The Spohn Sanitarium, built in 1905, was named in his honor. In 1903 Spohn was sent as government representative to investigate sanitary conditions in the Mediterranean area. For fifteen years he was in charge of the United States Marine Hospital at Corpus Christi. He was a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the United States Association of Military Surgeons, the Second Pan-American Congress, the International Tuberculosis Association, the Texas State Medical Association (later the Texas Medical Association), and the Central Texas Medical Association. He was also chief surgeon of the St. Louis, Brownsville and Mexico Railway. He died at Corpus Christi on May 5, 1913. See also SPOHN HOSPITAL.

Nelson Cruz hit an RBI double in the 10th inning to lead the Texas Rangers to a 4-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday night, snapping their five-game losing streak.
Texas' Josh Hamilton had a home run, walk and a run scored as the designated hitter one night after leaving in the fifth inning with back spasms.
Cruz finished 3 for 5 with two doubles and two RBIs, and Adrian Beltre hit a home run that tied the game in the sixth as the Rangers improved to 41-5 the past two years in games in which Beltre has homered.
Joe Nathan (1-2) pitched scoreless ninth and 10th innings for the Rangers, his longest outing in almost three years after ligament replacement surgery.
Kyle Waldrop (0-1) failed to get an out in the 10th and took the loss.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is United Way? Is it an airline?
United Way of Santa Rosa County is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization whose goal is to advance the common good in our community in two primary ways. First, we support local nonprofits who serve a variety of needs in the community; secon, we provide direct assistance through our own programs that serve the community. We also house the First Call for Help information and referral phoneline that matches individuals with agencies that can assist with their needs. Together, as a community united, we can make positive change in Santa Rosa County.
What programs does United Way run internally? What does United Way do other than fundraise?
United Way's second function is to provide services to the community that fill needs. The following are examples of some of our internal programs and initiatives.
- First Call for Help - This one-stop information and referral service helps to point callers int he direction of organizations or agencies who can assist them with needs ranging from houseing, employment, financial assistance, etc.
- Money Cents - An ongoing financial stability initiative that provides budgeting workshops and one-on-one interaction with adults and teens seeking a successful financial future.
- Day of Action - This is United Way's green volunteer day, where we invite members of the community to do something good for the environment.
- Cram the Van - Each year before school begins, United Way leads this school supply drive for kids of all ages. More than 1,600 children received school supplies in 2009.
- Day of Caring - Groups of volunteers are assigned projects for helping local residents and charities by taking on projects such as building wheelchair ramps, painting houses or making holiday cards for the indigent and elderly.
- Toys for Tots - Through our partnership with the Marine Corps Reserves, United Way helps harold in the holidays with the Toys for Tots holiday toy drive.
How does the annual campaign work?
United Way partners with businesses throughout the county to give their employees the opportunity to contribute to United Way, primarily though payroll deduction. Each company has its own internal Employee Campaign Coordinator and Loaned Executive as liaison between the company and United Way. Many businesses or their parent companies offer a corporate match or corporate donation to motivate employees to give. Last year, our workplace campaign along with other fundraising efforts totaled more than $320,000.
Why am I asked to give to United Way by my employer?
United Way has always enjoyed a strong partnership with businesses in the community we serve. Organizations that host a workplace campaign demonstrate to their employees as well as their customers that they are community minded. Giving through payroll deduction is easy and provides year-round satisfaction of contributing to the community.
Why should I give to United Way?
Why should I give to United Way?
We believe that giving comes from the heart and want our contributors to follow their beliefs. Knowing that United Way supports a diverse group of services provided by our partner agencies is reassuring and fulfills the desire to help the many great needs in our community. The agencies go through a rigorous process to be included on the list of United Way of Santa Rosa Funded Partner Agencies.
Can I designate funds to a specific agency?
Yes. If you have been touched by one of our agencies, we encourage you to follow your heart. By designating with United Way, you know that the agency has earned their allocation through the application process. Be assured that United Way of Santa Rosa County DOES NOT reduce your pledge by deducting administrative and fundraising fees.
Who decides where the contributions collected go?
All contributors and noncontributors alike are invited to join our Funds Distribution Team, led by members of our volunteer board. This committee decides how much funding each agency will be allocated.
During this process, each United Way agency applicant makes a thorough presentation to the panel of volunteers, and the services provided by each agency are reviewed and documented. Program allocations are based on effectiveness of services, the amount of undesignated contributions and identified needs in the community.
What is the difference between a funded partner agency and an affiliate agency?
A funded partner agency is an agency that has been affiliated with United Way for at least one year and has been approved for funding by the volunteer funds distribution team. Before an agency is approved, they must go through a rigorous application process.
Affiliate agencies are agencies that do not make the funded partner list, but are still supported by United Way through promotional and in-kind services. After being an affiliate agency for one year, these agencies can apply to become funded partners.
Although any agency may receive funding in any given year, no agency is guaranteed funding. This is due to the changing needs of the community and the funds distribution teams decision to base their decisions on community need. If a funded partner is not chosen to be funded for a particular year, that agency may still become an unfunded affiliate.
What is the difference between our local United Way and United Way Worldwide?
Our local United Way is the United Way of Santa Rosa County, based in Milton. It is a local, independent organization serving all of Santa Rosa County. All funding and policy decisions are made by volunteers who live and work in our community. No entity outside of our community makes decisions for the United Way of Santa Rosa County.
United Way Worldwide, based in Alexandria, Virginia is a membership association for the 1,300 separate, independent United Ways across the country, and now worldwide. United Way of America does no fund programs - they are a national service and training center for all United Ways that want to use their services.
Does any money contributed go to United Way Worldwide?
Yes. One percent of all monies raised locally is used to purchase services from United Way Worldwide. This payment for services is not mandatory, but rather an issue carefully weight by our local volunteer leadership who feel the services received by United Way worldwide (i.e. national branding, NFL advertising, national market research, training, etc.) far outweigh the cost. Ninety-nine (99%) of the funds raised locally stay in Santa Rosa County.
Does United Way Worldwide set policy for local United Ways?
No. Each United Way is separate from one another an has its Board of Directors that make decisions about what is best for its community. Local volunteers who know their community also make funding decisions for local agencies.
Why do we need a United Way program? Doesn't the government take care of everyone in need with tax dollars?
Government programs provide most basic services, but there are many children and adults who need services the government cannot provide. That's why people give. They know that if we work together we can give a hand up to people in the local community who need a helping hand.
I never use any services, why should I give?
You're lucky, but no one is immune to natural disasters, misfortune, illness or human problems. It is very likely that a relative, coworker, friend or neighbor has been helped by United Way or its partners. When we reach out a hand to one, we influence the condition of all. In other words, everyone benefits from a healthy community where people's needs are being met. Many individuals and families are using United Way services without realizing it. The American Red Cross, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and YMCA are just a few of our partner agencies.
One in four people in Santa Rosa County have benefited from services provided United Way and its partners. That's 25% of the local population.
What is a loaned executive? Do they receive commission?
Our Loaned Executives (LE's) are volunteers from the community who give their valuable time and talent to assist us with the campaign. They are your key to connecting you with whatever you need to run a successful fundraising campaign from brochures to speakers to skit ideas! Each LE is responsible for coordinating 8-10 business accounts. LE's complete training and benefit from this through networking and polishing their professional skills. Being a loaned executive is a great resume builder.
Loaned executives do not receive commission... nor do they make loans. They volunteer their time for the cause.
I don't trust United Way because of the scandal a few years ago.
The 1993 incident was on the national level, United Way of America. All problems have been resolved on the national level. Keep in mind that United Way of America is a support system for our local United Way. They in no way govern our decisions or budget. Our local volunteer board makes all decisions regarding our operations and finances.
How do I claim my payroll deduction contribution on my taxes?
The IRS has recently revised the recordkeeping requirements for contributions made to charities via payroll deduction. Under the revised guidelines, employees need to have both documentation of the amounts that have been contributed (pay stubs, W-2 form, or other document furnished by the employer) as well as written documentation from the recipient organizations (or someone directed by the recipient organization) that identifies the recipient of the contribution. The best way for donors to accomplish this is to keep their copy of the pledge card for their records.

The objectives of this developmental center grant are 1) developing basic, translational, and clinical research to explore the feasibility and scientific rationale for use of mushroom extracts as immunopotentiating agents; 2) facilitating the development of the capacity of investigators at Bastyr University to participate in basic and translational CAM research; 3) enhancing the capacity of investigators at the University of Minnesota to participate in translational and clinical CAM research.
Research Studies
Trametes versicolor-induced Immunopotentiation - Developmental Center for Research on CAM (University of Minnesota collaboration, Bastyr subcontractor)
This project will evaluate the effects of carotenoid enrichment from food and supplements in healthy volunteers.
The purpose of this project is to investigate the impacts of a specific style of Qigong, Yi Ren, on the practitioner's health and well-being. This will be achieved with a self-report questionnaire form.
A Comparative Effectiveness Trial of High-Quality Vitamin D3 Nutritional Supplements to Replete Serum Vitamin D
The importance of vitamin D in the prevention and treatment of diabetes and cardiovascular disease has gained increased attention in recent years.
The primary aim of this study was to describe clinical risk factor changes during the utilization of naturopathic CAM services in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Curcumin bound iron, but did not block iron uptake or bioavailability in T51B cells given FAC. However, it reduced cytotoxicity, blocked the generation of ROS and eliminated signalling to cellular stress pathways caused by iron.
Binding of NIR-conPK and NIR-6T to Astrocytomas andMicroglial Cells: Evidence for a Protein Related to TSPO
Together these results suggest that NIR-conPK binds to a protein that is related to TSPO, and expressed by astrocytomas and microglia. Our results also suggest that the expression of this protein is increased by specific cytokines, and thus allows for the monitoring of a particular subtype of microglia activation.
Secondary Prevention of Myocardial Infarction Using Nonpharmacologic Strategies; Analysis of a Medicaid Cohort
Analysis of Medicaid claims data suggests rates of secondary prevention are less than optimal. To improve survival and reduce rehospitalization after an MI, policy changes (tobacco cessation benefits, expansion of rehabilitation programs), health care capacity (training, referral patterns, and coordination of care), and improvements to access (removing barriers, increasing facilities, targeting minority populations) could be implemented.
A survey of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) awareness among neurosurgeons in Washington State
The use of CAM may influence neurosurgical care; and the role of spirituality and prayer should be further explored. Because CAM utilization is ubiquitous, open discussion and familiarity with CAM treatments are becoming increasingly important in the field of neurosurgery.

A Century of Philanthropy: Carnegie Corporation of New York
Theroux, Karen, American Libraries
Strategic nurturing "to try to make the world in some way better than you found it"
In 1911, Andrew Carnegie created his last and largest philanthropic institution, Carnegie Corporation of New York, to promote international peace and advance education and knowledge. While staying true to these goals, the foundation time and again has risen to the evolving challenges of the past 100 years.
The father of American philanthropy started out as a poor Scottish immigrant who then spent much of his adult life getting rich in the steel industry. In later life, he turned his attention to giving his fortune away, but not through random acts of charity: Carnegie developed the approach now known as "strategic philanthropy," an organized system of providing financial support to carefully chosen projects to attain specific ends.
While others of his time made generous donations to various causes, Carnegie broke new ground with his assertion that the rich have a moral obligation to give away their fortunes. Today, people still quote his maxim, "The man who dies rich dies disgraced." But he did not, in fact, consider it charity. He considered grant making an investment meant to bring about lasting, long-term results.
Of the more than 20 institutions he established, Carnegie Corporation has become one of the most enduring and iconic philanthropies. It can claim credit for such diverse achievements as establishing the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (now TIAA-CREF) to provide financial security for educators, funding the laboratory where insulin was discovered, and underwriting the Brookings Institution. Corporation funds helped launch the Chronicle of Higher Education, National Public Radio, the Educational Testing Service, PBS's Nova, and the Children's Television Workshop, creator of Sesame Street. The corporation made possible the Children's Defense Fund, the Jefferson Science Fellows, the Civic Mission of Schools, and the United Nations Peace building Commission.
From backing organizations that fueled the civil rights and women's movements in the United States and the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa, to the promotion of campaign reform and nuclear nonproliferation, the corporation's history tells the story of some of the 20th century's most important advancements in international affairs, education, and democracy. Over time, the corporation has developed an approach to grant making that emphasizes partnerships and catalytic funding--helping grantees launch critical projects and plan for long-term sustainability--setting standards other philanthropic institutions have adopted.
Carnegie believed people had a duty to "try to make the world in some way better than you found it." Realizing that this duty would inevitably mean different things at different times, he gave his trustees the authority to change policy as they saw fit, asserting that "they shall best conform to my wishes by using their own judgment." Thus, Carnegie aimed high, but left room for future generations to figure out their own goals and strategies.
A love for learning
Andrew Carnegie's name is deeply connected to the creation of libraries. From 1886 on, the corporation and its founder spent well over $50 million on 1,681 public libraries in nearly as many communities across the United States, along with over 800 libraries in other parts of the world. Up until the early 1940s, the corporation spent an average of about $830,000 per year enhancing public libraries and strengthening librarianship. Academic libraries have also received millions in support.
The love of libraries came early to Carnegie. He was working as a messenger boy in Pittsburgh when a Colonel James Anderson "announced that he would open his library of four hundred volumes to boys," Carnegie wrote in his autobiography. "Books which it would have been impossible for me to obtain elsewhere were, by his wise generosity, placed within my reach; and to him I owe a taste for literature which I would not exchange for all the millions that were ever amassed by man. …


text: Many people long to work from home, but they say, "I don't know what I could do." I see posts and want ads all the time from people seeking some sort of legitimate work from home opportunity offered by someone else. They have no idea what they can do from home, so they want to find a pre-made job. Most of the things you see online are scams, though. That or they suggest you chase some already over saturated industry like medical transcription or billing. I'm always amazed at the number of people who are so desperate to find a work at home job offered by someone else that they will risk scams when the best way to work from home is to create something yourself.

Milk supplies two nutrients that along with physical activity are especially important when cutting calories -- calcium to prevent bone loss and protein to help build muscle mass. Studies suggest that drinking the recommended three glasses of lowfat or fat free milk a day along with a healthy diet can help maintain a healthy weight. Researchers also have found that people with higher intakes of milk tend to be leaner and are less likely to gain excess weight than those who drink little to no milk.
Milk - The Beverage with Your Health Interests at Heart
People who maintain a healthy weight are less likely to be at risk for weight-related health problems, such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and some types of cancer. In addition, some studies have linked meeting the recommendations for lowfat and fat free milk along with eating fruits and vegetables to a lower risk for high blood pressure and heart disease, as part of a heart-healthy diet. The American Heart Association 2007 Guidelines for Preventing Cardiovascular Disease in Women emphasize eating fresh fruits, vegetables and low-fat milk and milk products.
"I always encourage people to include three servings of lowfat or fat
free milk as part of a heart-healthy diet and to walk everyday," said

mOck is a trio from Berlin that plays the kind of highly technical yet emotional post-ish-rock pioneered by Chicago musicians Tim Kinsella and Victor Villarreal through bands like Cap'n Jazz, Joan Of Arc and Owls. While the noodling guitars and lopsided time signatures will sound familiar to any fans of this sound, mOck has developed something unique with this template, a distinctly European take on the genre that is clean and sophisticated, while still rough around the edges.
CMJ got a chance last week to talk with Conrad Rodenberg, the band's drummer, who shared with us the nuts and bolts behind the group and its eponymous debut full-length, streaming below.
How long have you guys been playing together?
The mark that I always have in mind is early March 2009, but that's just because we had our first show then. Before that, it's kind of hard to say. We spent one and a half or maybe even two years just in our rehearsal space, which is mainly because this was the first time I had played drums in a band.
What did you play before?
Oh this and that. I'm in this other band Ampl:tude where we all play synths and keyboards, and I also have a solo project where I sing and play guitar. Felix [Zimmermann], our frontman, always had guitar as his main instrument. He and Freddie [Knop], the bassist, used to be in this other band called lin., which had been broken up for a while before the formation of mOck. Freddie had just finished his studies in musicology but hadn't been very active in making music himself after lin. disbanded, so for all those reasons it kind of took us a while to figure out just what we wanted to do.
What's your background in Berlin's hardcore scene?
Well, Freddie and Felix's old band were definitely playing shows with a lot of local hardcore bands here. It's funny talking about them for me because I, well, always really, really liked their music. But they were, at that point, already playing some form of, let's say, alternative hardcore, something different from the rest of the scene. But lin. was definitely louder, rougher and screamier than mOck is.
So once you solidified your sound, what was the writing process like?
We wrote most of the songs in our rehearsal space in Berlin and recorded them in Hamburg. It didn't really work with anyone bringing in material that we would then build upon. It would always just come at rehearsal.
Like you'd jam and see what happened?
Well, I didn't really experience it as "jamming" in the sense that we would play forever and then say afterwards, "oh let's keep this or that." We usually would just start playing something and then immediately try to stick a part, and then give it some shape.
The music's pretty rhythmically complex. Did you record the instruments live or separately?
We recorded live. On the very first day we tried playing to a click, but it didn't work out at all [laughs]. So, because of that we didn't really hold onto the idea of recording the different tracks separately. But that's the same way we did it on our demo and our split 7″. It's our flow.
John McEntire of Tortoise mixed the album. Did you get to work with him directly on it?
Well, not really. The whole thing came about when we were touring with Joan Of Arc in 2010. We asked Tim [Kinsella] if he had any recommendations for a producer, and he said that McEntire had done good work on their stuff. And that sounded great to us because we had been following Tortoise since the '90s, and we had always been a fan of his mixing. So we sent him some demos, and he was into it. But we never really met him during the process. It was nice to get a personal touch from him though. There are these snippet pieces in brackets that sound quite different from the other songs on the record. Most of these were spontaneous takes in the studio in Hamburg, and we told him to just do whatever he wanted on those to make them sound distinct from the other tracks. We're pretty happy with the results.
You guys definitely sound like a lot of Chicago bands, but has the scene in Berlin influenced your sound directly?
It differently has. At the moment, most of the bands that we're friends with and we play with have a distinct hardcore sound, but it's pretty different from what we do. Our sounds fit together well, but I don't know many other bands that have this post-rockish thing going on. My other band makes music that sounds like it's off a videogame soundtrack, so that's totally different, but we were signed to a Berlin-based label called Sinnbus that started releasing records that were in a more technical rock direction, so that was a big influence. There's another band we've played with that's partially from Berlin called Pete The Pirate Squid that definitely has the mathy, stop-and-go thing going on.
Was jazz an influence for the technicality?
Honestly, none of us really come from a jazz background. Still, as the process has been going on, our songs have been getting a lot more, let's say, "smoother," starting quietly, more fragile. I'm looking at my record player now, actually, and The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest is on there. There's that song "Jazz (We've Got)." So I guess if our jazz influence comes from anywhere, then, it's hip-hop. Anyway, one of the first songs we wrote for the album is "57," and that has this sort of mosh pit part, which stands out from the rest of the LP. It's interesting to see that we started out with more hardcore roots you can hear, but now there's this twist!
I Love To Hate will be hosting a release party for mOck's LP Thursday, May 17, at the Lamp Post in Jersey City, NJ. DJs will be mixing mOck tracks into their sets, and the vinyl will be available for sale as well. The event starts at 10 p.m.

Nigeria midfielder Mikel Obi insists that the Super Eagles should be proud of their efforts at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, africanfootball.com.
The African champions were knocked out of the tournament after losing 2-0 to France in a last 16 clash in Brasilia on Monday.
After holding Les Bleus at bay for most of the match, Nigeria let it slip in the 79th minute when goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama palmed a corner-kick into the path of Paul Pogba, who was able to direct a header into the empty net to break the deadlock.
An injury-time own goal by captain Joseph Yobo stopped Nigeria from reaching the quarterfinals of the football's showpiece like Cameroon, Senegal and Ghana – the only three African teams who have reached the stage in previous World Cups.
"Honestly, I don't think that we should be feeling bad right now," Mikel told FIFA.com after the match.
"We've had a great tournament and today we showed the whole world just what we're capable of, even when up against a great team.
"I think that we played really well from the start, right up until we conceded the opening goal. "From that moment on, I'll admit that we let our heads drop a bit. We couldn't drag ourselves back into it, but none of that should take the shine off our performance."
The Chelsea midfielder added, "We were very well-organised. We knew exactly what we needed to do against a strong team like France and, on top of that, whenever we had the ball we weren't afraid to attack. We even had good chances to go in front ourselves. We got so much right, but mistakes do happen. What else can we say? We need to forget it and move on."
Mikel also spoke of his midfield battle with Juventus star Paul Pogba, a personal contest that served as a microcosm of the match at large.
He said, "It was an incredible duel, it's true. There were times when I thought he (Pogba) was starting to look tired, but then he went and scored the opening goal. I guess that, in the end, he wasn't that tired! But yes, the two of us had a really good tussle."
Mikel added, "He's an unbelievable player, isn't he? He got the better of me today, but I'm sure we'll come up against each other loads more times in the future. Who knows, maybe even at the next World Cup?"

Proving God and Men
First appeared on 03/02/2012. Insights is also available to members via email delivery.
The word prove means not only to establish but to test, as in the famous expression that the "exception proves the rule". Both meanings are certainly involved when it comes to "proving ourselves".
In a similar way, seeking proofs for the existence of God can be a way of putting God to the test. Nonetheless, in the right spirit I hope, I review an excellent book that updates the scientific and philosophical proofs in my latest In Depth Analysis. See Proving God.
But acting contrary to God's will is an even worse test. In the ongoing war for religious freedom in the United States, a number of allegedly Catholic senators have done just that. Phil Lawler provides the list in My conscience rules. Your conscience is ruled out.
The abuse of our freedom is certainly another test, and a proof of another sort. We've just added to our library an excellent article by James Kalb entitled The Tyranny of Misunderstood Freedom.... [more content for subscribers]

Republicans have proven, time and again, that when it comes to throwing huge stacks of money, they hurl as recklessly as Democrats — especially when the problem they're throwing money at is the Pentagon.
House Republicans passed a budget on Wednesday after employing the very unusual "Queen of the Hill" rule. The budget that earned the most votes was the one dubbed "Price 2," which matches the one passed in the House Budget panel last week but includes a $20 billion increase in defense spending.
Once again risk is shifted from a major American company to the American taxpayer via the Export-Import Bank, but this may be the last time.
In order to pass a 2016 budget, Republican leaders have turned to a rarely used rule that would allow lawmakers to vote on multiple proposals, hoping to appease conservatives and the so-called "hawks." According to GOP leadership, the goal was to pass a budget in the first 100 days of the new Congress, and they are confident that they will do so.

Part of the Bubblegum Undertable (that's like "Underground" in other types of music), PINK FILTH considers their short songs, sweet lyrics, and chewy-delicious beats PSYCHEDELIC BUBBLEWAVE and who are we to argue? They recorded an album of Bubblegum covers called PINK FILTH PRESENTS 17 BUBBLEGUM SMASHES and released SUGAR SHOCK which included 10 more shock-coated bubblegum smashes!
(Out Of Print, Lost Records, Dallas TX, 1998)
1. Sugar And Spice
2. Quick Joey Small
3. Bubblegum World
4. Sweeter Than Sugar
5. Blue Eyes, Orange Skies
6. Green Tambourine
7. Clones
8. Box On Wheels
9. Chewy Chewy
10. Sunday Morning
11. Blueberry Blue
12. Hang-Ups
13. Don't Call Us (We'll Call You)
14. Let It All Hang Out!
15. Quark, Strangeness And Charm
16. Sipping Strawberry Tea
17. I Enjoy Being A Boy
Originally distributed on vinyl and in cassette form wrapped with a piece of bubblegum, Pink Filth covers bona fide bubblegum songs and unwraps a few bubblegum-ready nuggets to arrive at Seventeen Bubblegum Smashes. Averaging less than two-minutes, the Devo/Barnes & Barnes-influenced trio rips through the gummiest of bubblegum, psychedelic bubblegum and whatever Alice Cooper's Clones was. If I were to pick a single from this group however, it would be the Texas twanged Sugar and Spice backed with Clones.
The Filth steps off the bubblegum train with the covers of T.Rex's Hang-Ups, Sugarloaf's Don't Call Us, We'll Call You, The Hombres' Let It All Hang Out, and Hawkwind's (!) Quark, Strangeness & Charm. Somehow, they stretch these songs out and snap them back into a mouth full of gum.
The opus here is the "Nirvana-meets-Weird-Al" version of the Banana Splits I Enjoy Being A Boy. Adding layers of vocals while exploring every melody hidden in this bubblegum classic, the pounding drums propel the song to a surprising Space Invaders ending.
The Pink Filth formula of blending sound effects, sped up vocals (probably recorded in real time though), and adding a Texas twist makes for one of the best party discs to come along in some time. I suspect that if enough people ask, they will re-release this classic, if only for the children's sake. E-mail them today!
(Uncle Buzz Records UBR09, 2001)
1. Sugar Shock
2. I Love Plastic Bags
3. Special Girl
4. T.V. Screen
5. Dee-Licious
6. Vinyl Junkie
7. Girl In The Saccharine Suit
8. The True Wheel
9. Pineapple Pinwheel
10. Pink Plastic Playpen
Put on your saccharine suit, throw a pineapple in a blender, sit in your pink plastic playpen in front of the TV, toss some gum in your mouth, and be prepared for a sugar shock. Pink Filth is preempting the Brady Bunch tonight to bring you this special album.
It's all silly of course (although Special Girl and Pineapple Pinwheel sound serious!) and if you're into looking for serious influences, you will find them. There's the Chipmunked Ramone open and Who-like riffs in Sugar Shock, the Alice Cooper cloning in T.V. Screen and Vinyl Junkie, and the ultra-nasal reading of the 1910 Fruitgum Co.'s Dee-Licious (note the sly use of "Duh" instead of the Fruitgum's "Dill" in the chorus). But once you get past the pointless "name-the-influence" game, you will find two pink-vinyled sides of highly original bubblegum. You'll find classic lines like "Now I got bags to hold all of my bags/Paper or plastic, do you have to ask?" in I Love Plastic Bags and "I think she's fine/She thinks I'm funny/She gives me love like a chocolate bunny" in Saccharine Suit.
So, why did a group of Texans put out a bubblegum album in 2001? Well, at the time bis was big. Powerpuff Girls were popular (even if their big-budgeted, over-produced CD doesn't measure up to Sugar Shock).
I popped a few questions towards Nick Velvet, lead singer for Pink Filth, and he chewed and spat out these answers:
Andrew Bergey (AB): Where are you based?
Nick Velvet (NV): Texas, ya'll.
AB: Are you a touring group?
NV: Yes.
AB: Bubblegum-wise, who influenced you?
NV: The Monkees, Kasenetz & Katz, Joey Levine/Ohio Express, 1910 Fruitgum Co., Banana Splits, Tommy James, John Fred, The Archies, Josie and the Pussycats, to name just a few.
AB: What makes a song Bubblegum "worthy"?
NV: Simplicity, a killer beat, lotsa hooks!
AB: How does the Bubblegum music genre rate in American music history?
NV: Neglected & slagged by the historians, but an influence on many groups. Bubblegum elements are constantly popping up in today's popular music -even country!
AB: If a new Bubblegum Music Scene started, what would you call it?
NV: "Bubblegum" - a more perfect description, you'll never find.
AB: Who (or what) is your favorite Banana Split?
NV: I dunno, they're all pretty sexy.
AB: What's your favorite gum?
NV: Bazooka Joe.

At least three Mountain West Conference football teams possibly more will go to bowl games this season.
With three weeks remaining in the regular season, it's possible as many as six of the nine teams in the league will be eligible to go to a bowl.
Many things can and will change between now and early December when the bowl situation will completely resolve itself. Still, it's fun to speculate.
First, here are some certainties. TCU, already bowl eligible at 8-1 and ranked No. 20 in the nation, will be in a bowl somewhere. Second, Mountain West teams will be featured in the Las Vegas Bowl (Dec. 22), the new Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego (Dec. 22) and in the Emerald Bowl in San Francisco (Dec. 29).
Another possibility is the Liberty Bowl (Dec. 31), which pits the Conference USA champion against an at-large team. TCU, if it continues to roll through the MWC, may be an attractive choice to fill that open spot as long as there are three other league teams that can fill the league's current commitments. Colorado State, if it beats TCU and ties for the league title, is also a longshot candidate.
Other longshot possibilities include the Fort Worth Bowl, the MPC Computers Bowl (formerly the Humanitarian Bowl) in Boise, the Independence Bowl and the Houston Bowl if previously committed spots open up because leagues don't have enough bowl-eligible teams.
So, in other words, it's all as clear as mud.Here's a look at the six MWC teams still fighting for bowl positioning:
TCU (8-1 overall, 6-0 MWC)
The Horned Frogs can clinch their first outright league title since 1958 with a win over Colorado State this week.
Games remaining: at home Saturday vs. Colorado State; at home Nov. 12 vs. UNLV
What needs to be done: Nothing. The league's newcomer is already bowl eligible.
Chances of going bowling: It's a done deal. The Horned Frogs will play in the postseason somewhere.
COLORADO STATE (5-3 overall, 4-1 MWC)
The Rams are the only team with a real shot at catching TCU for the league title. They can move into a tie for the league lead and have the head-to-head advantage with a road win on Saturday in Fort Worth.
Games remaining: at TCU on Saturday; at home Nov. 12 vs. San Diego State; Nov. 19 at UNLV
What needs to be done: The Rams just need a single win in three tries to be bowl eligible.
Chances of going bowling: Good. The chances of being bowl eligible are outstanding, but Ram fans aren't known for traveling particularly well to bowl games, so if an MWC bowl-eligible team gets left out, it could be CSU.
NEW MEXICO (5-4 overall, 3-3 MWC)
The Lobos have been to three consecutive bowl games. They'll likely be eligible for a fourth straight postseason.
Games remaining: Nov. 11 at Utah; at home Nov. 19 against Air Force
What needs to be done: The Lobos need one win in two tries to become bowl eligible
Chances of going bowling: Good. After a bye this Saturday, the Lobos have a tough game scheduled at Rice-Eccles Stadium but it is certainly a game they could win. Even if they lose to the Utes, they should become bowl eligible with a home win over struggling Air Force.
BYU (4-4 overall, 3-2 MWC)
The Cougars are still very much in position to earn their first postseason berth since the 2001 Liberty Bowl.
Games remaining: Saturday at UNLV; Nov. 12 at Wyoming; Nov. 19 at home vs. Utah

The Importance of REAL Church History
Christ did not come to tell people that the Christ was COMING. One thing official history carefully avoids is that it was not only Jews who expected a Messiah. And official history desperately avoids the fact that "Jews" were not even primarily in Palestine.
Ten percent of the Roman population consisted of Hellenic Jews who did not know a word of Hebrew. They visited Israel the way their descendants, today's Christians, visit Israel. History will someday say that all the Christians today were in Israel.
The Jews got their concept of a Messiah where they got everything else: from Zoroastrianism. In the West before Christianity Heracles gave his life for men.
But the point here is that Jesus did NOT come to earth to announce ***A*** Messiah, and John the Baptist did not say that there would be ***A*** Messiah. People assumed that.
Jesus' message was that HE WAS the Messiah.
Please note that not a word of what I just said is theology. It is HISTORY. An atheist needs to know it more than a religious person does, because a religious person can adjust reality to his beliefs but an atheist can't.
The real historical world Christianity took over is important to US.
Christian history is adhered to slavishly by atheistic professors. The first lesson of REAL Church history is WHY this is so. Official Christian history wants the Faith to be absolutely unique. All the basis of the Faith is supposed to be a straight line through Israel, and ONLY Israel.
If you think about it, atheist professors have EXACTLY that same goal. Real Christian history contains a struggle that is very relevant to ours today. Like us, the Church grew up, not in a vacuum, but in struggle with OTHER very similar. belief systems. Real Christianity was almost taken over, and WAS permanently diseased by, the Intellectuals who looked to the East, who shouted only those who lived in the Intellectual Truths of their day could attain Salvation.
Sound familiar?

Ethanol is a liquid fuel and is blended with gasoline in various compositions (e.g., "E85" is 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline by volume). Most ethanol produced in the U.S. is derived from the fermentation of corn. Ethanol can also be produced from cellulosic feedstocks such as switchgrass or corn stover (a residue from corn crops). Biochemical conversion of cellulosic feedstocks has a pretreatement step that breaks cellulose into simpler sugars that can be easily fermented. Thermochemical conversion converts cellulosic feedstock into syngas (a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen) that is then converted to ethanol.
LCA: Ethanol from Biomass
This is a life cycle environmental and cost analysis of ethanol using starch and cellulosic feedstocks. It provides a life cycle comparison of three tiers of technology, three types of biomass feedstocks, and two fuel-blending compositions for a total of 18 distinct pathways. When ethanol is blended with gasoline at an 85/15 ratio between ethanol and gasoline, the life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are highly variable due to different feedstock types and ethanol production technologies. The biochemical chemical conversion of cellulosic feedstocks to ethanol has the lowest GHG emissions in this analysis, because of the energy recovered at the ethanol plant.
