I was able to improve the speed and performance of my server using the information provided by Jeremy and Derek.The book contains a lot of very helpful information the theory and practice of MySQL replication. The authors clearly and explicitly describe how to setup and manage replication, and how to deal with failures and failover. There are plenty of architecture diagrams, accompanied by lucid descriptions of the good and bad points of each one.The sections on query and server optimization are first class as well. There are plenty of vignettes drawn from Jeremy's real-world experience running MySQL at Yahoo.My only criticism is that the book seemed too short.

] | The cover art makes this movie look as if it would be suitable for children. It is not. It contains gratuitous obscenity and a heinously disgusting "love" scene between a pair of immensely overweight characters (imagine a collision between two of the blimp in a Thanksgiving Day parade).Presented in pseudo-documentary style, the movie looks back from the distant future to a time when humans basically gorged themselves to death and/or became so fat that they couldn't reproduce. A somewhat humorous graphic illustrates the difference between the ever-growing size of the characters and the size and placement of their reproductive organs. The overall point of the movie is that we (as a civilization) are literally eating ourselves to death. After spending time in a mall or an airport it can be hard to argue with this conclusion.This was clearly a low-budget production, but it was actually done pretty well. A lot of energy clearly went into the set design and the production itself. The "extra features" behind the scenes glimpse into the making of the movie and I added one more star just for this. It was clear that all involved were truly dedicated and tried really hard.On the positive side, this is the first time in a while that I didn't fall asleep on the couch while watching a movie, so there may be something here. | 3 | Not for kids; kind of amusing | 1,098,748,800 | 10 26, 2004 |

] | This thing is horrible, and I am returning mine tomorrow. Picture quality is absolutely pathetic. I've seen better pictures from camera-phones.In bright light, with no motion, with everyone holding their breath, you may be able to get an acceptably sharp picture. At any other time forget it. With decreasing light and increasing amounts of motion, picture quality degrades to a featureless blur of colors. I checked, double-checked, and re-checked to make sure that I wasn't missing something obvious (I wasn't).In addition to this overarching complaint, I have to say that the camera body is flimsy, and feels cheap. Unlike the solid metal you find on, say, a Canon Powershot, this one is plastic. The cover for the battery station is made of the same cheap plastic, and feels as if it could break off after a moderate amount of use.This is exacerbated by the fact that it takes 4 AA batteries which must be removed for replacement or recharging. Battery life with standard Alkaline batteries was abysmal -- after 20 shots the "check battery" indicator was already flashing.I never got around to checking the bundled software. After 1 bungled gymnastics meet it was clear that this was not the camera for me.The preview LCD is very large, sharp, and clear. In fact, pictures look better on it than they do at full size.Printed documentation is minimal. To learn about all of the settings, you must consult the soft-copy "Advanced" guide on the included CD. | 1 | Possibly the world's worst digital camera | 1,114,300,800 | 04 24, 2005 |

I've read books in 1st person POV before, but as I read this one, I often forgot that it was a novel and felt like J.J. was talking to me and revealing his painful life story. There were many places where I felt I could relate to J.J. and my heart hurt for him even though there were times I felt like yelling at him that he should have known better. I felt like J.J. knew my past, knew I wouldn't judge, and knew his story was even worse...but with a similar ending. The pain and hurts we go through serve to make us stronger and better people. It was an incredibly personal read. I was thrilled with the way the story ended. I desperately needed resolution and an HEA after the heart-wrenching read. I am immensely impressed with the writing style Dan Skinner demonstrates both in this book and in "Memorizing You" which I loved.

I did a kitchen renovation and added switches everywhere for better controls. I wanted this switch to avoid adding a second ganged switch, however the fixtures I'm powering are all low voltage with internal transformers. While they can be dimmed, Lutron has specific switches for thier transformer type - and none in the dual dimmer configuration. One switch and its fixtures work great, but the other switch and recessed cans need to be on high for about 5 minutes before dimming, otherwise they flicker on and off.

I've come upon this book at a time of great reflection on my work with 'at-risk youth', as I decide whether or not to continue down this career path. Despite not having faced a tenth of the challenges some of those kids have faced, I connected with them and I loved them.Your book struck a chord with me. I thought about you the way I think about the club kids. You, childhood you, popped into my mind frequently throughout the day and each time it did my heart physically ached for you.Reading about your childhood juxtaposed with the amazing things you've gone on to do has inspired me immensely. I want to be the positive force in the lives of kids like you, because I think it's more important than anything else in the world.After finishing your book it renewed my motivation. This is what I'm meant to do. If I don't stay with XXXXXXXXX, I will find a way to stay with kids in need. Maybe get back in school and finish my social work degree.So thank you.

] | I purchased this book because it was excerpted in September's Better Homes and Gardens. The picture that they used made me eager to see more and get new ideas and tips on casual chic decor. I should've reconsidered after seeing the sorrowful cover image but I clicked Buy anyway. With the exception of two homes, most of the rooms featured are dingy and completely haphazard. Many of them look like they could use a thorough de-clutter, new furniture, a good cleaning and a fresh coat of paint. I had an odd feeling while paging through the book and it wasn't until I came to a page that featured a man sitting in a stark room on a shapeless couch with his elderly parents and books randomly strewn around them that I realized it was discomfort. I don't know where the authors found their subjects but they should have helped them rather than photograph them for a misleadingly titled book. This book is NOT inspirational and does NOT provide any guidance or fresh ideas. It is simply a collection of photographs of two nice homes with a lot of dreary looking spaces added. With all the great design blogs available for free, save your money, buy another book or preview before buying.

I was extremely inspired by his last bookDavid Stark Designand happily bought this book despite being disappointed by my interactions with his team (ignoring two emails sent giving kudos etc). I was certain that this book would be even better and more informative and insightful than his previous book. I am SO disappointed that I cannot keep or recommend this book because of a major design flaw: the chapter headings are printed in HUGE COLORFUL letters over the first few paragraphs of each chapter. I am a voracious reader and I have NEVER seen a book designed like this.For example: a chapter on an amazing event begins, "A sucessful event reflects the host and hostess's personality. This means when first designing a bar mitzvah, we first sit down . . ." The paragraph continues but you can't keep on reading because in HUGE HUGE HUGE RED letters DIRECTLY over the remaining text is the chapter title SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN. And this is how every single event in the book is handled. WTF??? I am truly shocked that this was approved by Mr. Stark, the book's publishers, etc. and NOBODY thought hold on a second here. Surely they know that people are reading this book for the story, the how-to and the behind the scenes info? Surely they know that people want to learn about the process and approach? Despite the amazing pictures and the tremendous effort depicted, I returned the book and cannot recommend it because of this egregious design flaw. Bottom line, if you don't care to read and just want to look at pretty pictures, this is the book for you. If you're like me and want to READ and learn about the conception process: buy a magnifying glass and high wattage lightbulbs or read this book under direct sunlight at high noon.

This is my third Amy Dixon purchase after trying her Breathless Body series and leaving quite impressed. However, as BB is a bit long and quite strenuous, I thought that this video would be a nice fill in for my easier/time-strapped days. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised. By the second segment (the one with weights) I was drenched in sweat and experiencing that invigorating exercise high. I thought surely ten minutes can't be so impactful, so I cooled down and re-did the segment and got the same results. In less than half an hour, this DVD had given me the effect of a workout three times as long. I like that the segments are divided so that viewers can design their own sequence order and I very much like that she always provides multiple levels so that viewers can chose their intensity and/or make modifications which provides you with many workouts even if you're doing the same DVD over and over again. Bottom line: This DVD delivers results in a short span and is well worth the money. | 5 | Fantastic | 1,363,132,800 | 03 13, 2013 |

] | Until recently, I was one of those hard-core smokers that Allen Carr used to describe himself as. I bought Allen's book last month (Ellen DeGeneres and Sir Anthony Hopkins convinced me) and it is definitely a labor of love. He was honest and forthright from his perspective and you can tell he's genuinely out to help people first. I think he really, really believes what he says, and a lot of people can and have experienced quitting precisely the way he did. But I didn't.He actually had me weeping at a few points in his book, particularly when he talked about how ass-backward the government and medical profession are about the way they approach profoundly-addicted smokers (trying to scare us into quitting, pulleeeze)... about how American culture addicted its smokers then turned on them the way the pilgrim Puritans went after "so-called" witches, harlots, and (dramatic pause) sinners... about the hypocrisy out there that punitively judges and banishes addicts into the shadows - from smokers to drunks to overeaters. Yes, I agree with him. Our cultures in America and Europe have tried to shame us, scare us, overcharge us, and socially exile us into quitting. And despite the fact that none of those strategies work, they continue to act as if they do, while we die in gruesome ways by the thousands every day and the nonsmokers blame us for their screwing up their health care premiums.Despite the sad state we are in... smokers for being caught in the grip of a life-threatening addiction... and nonsmokers for looking down their holier-than-thou noses at people who are suffering in ways they couldn't possibly imagine... the truth is that cigarette smoking is a customized addiction. And that's what makes it such a monster. Every person who gets caught in the smoking web does so by customizing how they use the drug to cope with their idiomatic version of psychosocial pain. And that means that the only way out of the web is for the smoker to find his or her customized quitting treasure map. The medical and helping professions have not yet acknowledged this fact and are still promoting one size fits all quitting strategies. If you don't believe me, try calling a quitter's hotline sometime and chat with a coach for a while.Unfortunately, Allen Carr is doing that 'one-size fits all' thing too. Don't get me wrong. His strategy gets RESULTS for a much higher percentage of people than all the other known strategies. He is hitting the greater majority jackpot. But a little digging into the fine print of a few research studies will reveal that his "EasyWay" numbers are grossly inflated. One particular UK study explained the reason that only 5% of people asked for their money-back guarantee on his seminars. That was because a vastly higher number than 5% fail to quit smoking but feel like it was their fault that they didn't quit, not the fault of the program. So they don't ask for their money back. Thus they never report (or are asked) if they quit or if they are actively smoking again. You are being misled when the claim is made that 85% of people who engage Carr's EasyWay products quit and are sublimely happy during and forever after the quit date. I forgive Allen Carr that marketing ploy because I am convinced he really cares about helping as many addicted smokers as he can. This is how consultants squander and deform perfectly beautiful missions in search of your almighty dollar (or other currency).I read Allen Carr's book and I quit smoking but there is no DIRECT cause-effect relationship between the two. There's an infinite number of INDIRECT causes though. I have been smoking for 50 years and trying to quit every year for the last 20. I have quit multiple times, hours at a time, days at a time, months at a time, only to smoke again during or after a rough crisis. I have used every nicotine quit product available, every Rx available except Chantix since I have a history of two nervous breakdowns while trying to quit addictions. I have experienced hypnosis, EMDR, NLP, tapping, acupuncture, Reiki, herbal concoctions, you name it. I am signed up on five quit smoking websites.I've got a huge amount of experience going for me here and decades of failure. Be careful not to let anyone convince you that failures are a good thing and will eventually lead to your success as a quitter. Put their statements to the self-examination test. You might decide that failures might indeed be good for you, like building those failure muscles in the gym of life. Then again, that precept might be total ca-ca, like it was for me. Failures made me way more afraid that I wouldn't succeed next time I quit. Finally I had to go to therapy to fix my darned fear of failure before I could even attempt to quit smoking again.Allen Carr absolutely convinced me that cold turkey is the only way to go. It was the only method I hadn't tried yet (at least beyond the first 4 hours). I took his theory about addiction, flat out filthy addiction, to the bank. I convinced myself that being free was a strong enough motive to make the pain go away, to make quitting easy and happy as Allen promises. Spoiler: beware the crap about 72 hours and the nicotine is out of your system. It might not register on a blood draw but I'll guarantee you that the nicotine receptors in my brain were screaming so loud at 85 and 100 hours that I was on my stomach, crying like a baby. By Day 4, I had to have two really trusted friends with me at all times. It was strait-jacket, bouncing off padded walls day. I actually had to fend off suicidal thoughts that afternoon. I had a really great support team, thank God.I'm clean a week now. It's way better than it was a few days ago. It's no picnic though and I figure I'll be on the white knuckle tight wire for at least 300 to 400 days yet. But somehow Allen Carr's promise that this would be easy didn't work for me. His whole schtick felt a bit too Disney-fied for me but I sure prayed I could have the Cinderella miracle he swore was possible. I suppose the reason why Allen didn't work for me is the same reason every hypnotherapist I've ever seen grumbles under his breath when I keep coming back because the hypnotism simply doesn't work. I hear Stanford experts are close to figuring out why a minority of humans like me have brains that are not wired to accept "suggestibility."Buy Allen's book. He was honest. He cared deeply about helping smokers set themselves free. He was a gift to humanity and spent his life admirably. He wanted you to quit smoking. He wanted you to be happy. He wanted you to feel free. When he finally achieved those things, he wanted to share them. I say, receive them graciously. And use them in the best way you can to help yourself. If you're one of those who can quit painlessly, you are an incredibly lucky person. YAY! If you're more like me, you'll be better prepared to quit because of Allen's hard-earned wisdom. It's still going to hurt like a sonuvagun for a really long time but all you can do is keep quitting one craving at a time, using the strategies you have experimented with along the way. Thank you Allen, and everyone else I have read or talked with the last 20 years about my smoking. Every one of you gives me a little something that goes into my customized basket of quit goodies and one of these days I'll wake up and realize I finally got there.

] | After following this diet religiously for 4 weeks (including walking 2 miles 5x/week), I have not lost one pound. My frustration caused me to investigate and I discovered from a reputable low-carber consumer website that it DOESN'T work for smokers. Smoking changes the metabolism in such a way that it does NOT respond to carbohydrate reduction. BEWARE smokers, don't waste your time. The only thing that will work for us is calorie-intake reduction plus calorie-burning exercise. End of subject.I also discovered that anyone who must take a diuretic medication (as I do for genetically-caused high blood pressure) will also NOT respond to low and no-carb diets. Despite drinking 190 oz. of water daily on average, my bowels simply stopped working. Nothing but protein, dairy, fat, and low-carb vegetables simply stopped my digestive process.I also found that the recipes are outrageously inaccurate. When I made the quiche, measured exactly as directed, it overfilled the 10" pie plate and trashed my oven. Took me a whole day to clean up the cooked on mess. Did anyone ever test this recipe as written before it was published? Then the Fruity Mousse says it serves four and is a great between meals snack. A single serving weighs in at 400-500 calories. What fool thinks they can lose weight doing that between meals? When I break it down into 8 servings, each in an 8 oz glass container, it's still a high calorie snack with nothing but air and dairy.These books went straight to the trash. Last time I'll get sucked in again by all those reviews that scream fabulous!!!! | 1 | Beware of "Miracle" scam | 1,341,705,600 | 07 8, 2012 |

] | Granted, each person's spiritual path is uniquely honorable but no matter what your path, this book is a wasted detour. In order to get to any teaching that has even a suggestive hint of substance, you have to bear an amateur writing style that made me wonder how it possibly got by even a novice editor.As a lifetime student of world religions and spiritual evolution, I felt badly for the meditative practices that were so grossly mangled by this author's exposition. If you are new to spiritual exploration (and like the simpleminded narrative formula of mass-produced paperbacks), you might find some value here. But I say experience this book at your own risk. Look elsewhere if you are seeking something profound and memorable. | 1 | Warning... If You Value Your Time and Money | 1,073,088,000 | 01 3, 2004 |

] | I read this book as fast as one can possibly digest it (which ironically is not particularly fast). It was transformative because it shifted my entire perception about evolution and sentient life itself. I've studied the Mayan calendars for some 15 years or more but, probably like others with the same interest, had no idea I was looking for answers through a microscope. Calleman invites you to get your nose out of the microscope, allow your consciousness to observe the process from a spatial vantage point, and voila! Suddenly the long-count calendar makes ultimate sense, replete with an understanding of the cosmic cycles of sacred geometry. Conventional illusions about evolutionary progress being linear fall away as one sees the perfection and infinite patience in the natural waves of creation.It is essential that you are able to view his charts and diagrams as he often spends an entire chapter explaining each one. I first bought a Kindle edition but was so frustrated by the small size of the charts, I went back and bought the book again in paper form. If you're a serious student, I recommend buying the traditional form of the book only. This is likely the most powerful reference book I will maintain in my considerable personal library. I have re-read parts of it repeatedly and printed several of his diagrams so that I might use them as perpetual reminders of the larger Truth, rather than defaulting into the self-absorbed dramas of the ego.This is not a book to be read as much as a book to be realized. The more I successfully train my mind to grasp my role and responsibility in the collective, the more pleasurable will be my experience as a pioneer in the Ninth Wave. This is a work of the Ages and I can barely wait until the final two volumes of this trilogy are released. My heart yearns for it. | 5 | From Mind-Blowing to Mind-Growing | 1,403,913,600 | 06 28, 2014 |
