| Buddhist databases optimize one-row tables! |
[Jan. 30th, 2012|02:25 pm] |
DUAL was originally a table and the database engine would perform disk IO on the table when selecting from DUAL. This disk IO was usually logical IO (not involving physical disk access) as the disk blocks were usually already cached in memory. This resulted in a large amount of logical IO against the DUAL table.
Later versions of the Oracle database have been optimized and the database no longer performs physical or logical IO on the DUAL table even though the DUAL table still actually exists.

| Armando & Nuria: filling pauses with poses |
[Jan. 26th, 2012|09:59 am] |
Pose 1: "sixth position" (exagerrated step 6 of the 8CB). Start the lead with the left hand doing the clockwise vertical circle. As the hand goes down, the follower starts extending R leg back. Leader extends L leg forward, touching follower's L foot. End with leader's L hand high and extended back, L shoulder back, R shoulder forward, torsion in the body; follower torsions upper body to stay parallel with leader's. Both (not just for this pose, but for all of them - this seems to be Nuria's style), while bending the standing leg's knee, should stretch the body up; in particular, the follower should not plant the R foot's heel on the floor.
Pose 2: Leader on L, follower on R, both send free foot to a back cross to leader's L. Don't transfer the weight, stay up.
Pose 3: Leader on L, follower on R, leader steps forward outside, follower back, both transfer weight.
Variation of Pose 3: Leader steps fwd without transferring weight, follower does the back cross to leader's L, matching her Lheel with his R toe. This requires more torsion from the follower
Pose 4: Leader on L, follower on R, both execute a back boleo and extend the free leg to leader's R.
Pose 5: Follower doing ochos adelante, the leader "intercepts" the ocho to his R with a back cross step to his R (can actually do the back step before the follower starts the ocho, signaling the pose); the follower either does a high kick with her R (stage tango) or a small slow R boleo (social). Resolve by executing a calesita CCW around the follower.
All of these poses require slowing down and extending up before actually going into them |

USA is a shitty country because a great band like Slim Cessna's Auto Club has to play in small dingy clubs like Great Scott's, instead of the stadiums where it definitely deserves to be. |

Melt-Banana were awesome, quite possible my most favorite gig ever. The mosh was great, despite freezing temperatures I came home totally wet. Noticed a gray-haired guy who looked like he was in his 50s - he was slamming much more intense than I.
What a wonderful band!
Check the live schedule and go to one of their concerts if they are coming your way - you won't regret it! |

Какую я книжку прочитал!
На парковке возле лесбиянского бара убита девушка. Полицейская, расследующая дело, сталкивается с тем, что женщины в баре, кроме одной, не любят authorities и отказываются сотрудничать. Она сама лесбиянка, но тщательно это скрывает от всех на работе. В какой-то момент полицейская арестовывает трёх наркоманов, которые решили изнасиловать одну из посетительниц бара, при этом ломает одному торчку нос. Тут лесбиянки её начинают уважать. Та одна помогает ей в расследовании; они проводят вместе ночь (hot steamy lesbian сцена выписана на целую главу). Оказывается, что убитая девушка была выгнана из дому, потому что стала проституткой (несмотря на то, что она лесбиянка) и наркоманкой, а виной этому её отец, который её абьюзил в детстве. Не имея никаких доказательств, полицейская обвиняет отца девушки в убийстве в присутствии его жены. Та внимательно выслушивает, а когда того отпускают из участка, подсыпает ему в еду крысиный яд и, пока он обессиленно блюёт, запихивает его в машину, обливает бензином и поджигает. После чего сдаётся полиции, объясняя, что дочь убила она, защищая мужа от необоснованных, как ей казалось, обвинений. Кончается хеппи-эндом - полицейская, не боясь, что её узнают сотрудники, идёт на гей-парад и её переполняет от счастья при виде радостных обнимающихся людей.

| Distressed Nation Turns To Poet Laureate For Solace |

Distressed Nation Turns To Poet Laureate For Solace
SEPTEMBER 19, 2011 | ISSUE 47•38
FRESNO, CA—Struggling through difficult times marked by war, economic despair, and political turmoil, the nation turned en masse this week to its newly appointed poet laureate, seeking solace in his words as so many generations of Americans have before in the words of laureates past.
Despondent citizens from across the country began gathering this weekend outside the Fresno home of 83-year-old Philip Levine, the California State University professor and poet who in less than two weeks will assume the widely celebrated title, beginning a yearlong term in which all Americans will turn their gaze upon him in search of hope and guidance.
"We've long relied on our poet laureates as a beacon of hope in times of trouble," said 55-year-old car mechanic Chuck Burgess, who traveled from Minneapolis to keep vigil alongside the many thousands waiting for the sagely Levine to emerge from his two-story ranch house and take up his new mantle. "Their masterfully crafted verses and subtle explorations of interiority dispel the nation's fears in a way that nothing else can."
"Right now, America is eagerly anticipating his words," added Burgess, later saying that he's been tracking Levine's work ever since it won the Levinson Prize from Poetry magazine in 1981. "We're counting on the discursive lyricism and shifting postures of fractiousness for which Mr. Levine's poems are renowned to lift our spirits."
According to reports, copies of Levine's 2004 collection Breath have been pulled down from bookshelves in living rooms throughout the nation, with friends and family gathering to reread the new laureate's free verse testaments to the persistence of life in the presence of coming darkness.
In addition, because the nation's 300-million-plus citizens don't want to miss a single word of what the poet has to say, continuous live news coverage from Fresno has preempted television programming on all channels.
"There are few things Americans love more than poetry," said Miami-area real estate agent William Chen, who was among the masses assembled on Levine's front lawn. "At this point, one could even say that desire for intellectual stimulation through layered poetic musings might be the only thing holding our wounded nation together."
The position of United States poet laureate was introduced in 1937, when Joseph Auslander became the first to receive the honor, his rarefied diction and reliably metered verses having provided comfort to a nation debilitated by the Great Depression. Since then, sources confirmed, his successors have unfailingly provided Americans with the poetry they need just to be able to get through their day.
"Thank God this country has a poet laureate," recently out-of-work glassworker Mitch Tate, 44, told reporters. "Without [2004-2006 laureate] Ted Kooser's profound lines likening the destruction of a galaxy billions of miles away to a snowflake falling on water, I'm not sure we ever could have mustered the inner strength to overcome the devastation of Hurricane Katrina."
While the majority of Americans have read all 20 volumes of Levine's poetry—as well as the collected works of each past laureate—most agreed that seeing on paper works such as 'The Water's Chant,' 'I Sing The Body Electric,' and 'On The Meeting Of García Lorca And Hart Crane' had only partly satisfied their needs.
Now, sources said, it is absolutely essential they hear him read his poems aloud.
"With so many Americans struggling to get by, it's no wonder they're craving more intellectual nourishment from their nation's poets," said Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA), standing among the cheering enthusiasts in Fresno. "The sheer excitement that overcomes our people when a poetry reading is announced tells you how badly we need this guy."
"Speak to us, poet," Brown was later overheard saying as he gazed through Levine's window. "Invoke the muses and soothe our distempered hearts!"
As of press time, Levine had reportedly stepped out his front door to meet the hysterical crowd, immediately pacifying them with his mere presence.
"Be still, my children, and listen," said Levine, donning on a pair of wire-rim glasses, opening a brown leather-bound journal, and taking a seat on his porch swing. "I shall now read to you a poem entitled 'Milkweed.'" |
