Andrew Johnstone has posted a few handy tips to help you find out where in your application a certain kind of issue might lie - MySQL/PHP performance problems.
In high performance web applications you will always have bottlenecks within your application. Identifying these bottlenecks and optimizing is a tedious task and typically show themselves underload. A single bad/unindexed query can bring a server to its knees. A large number of rows will also help to highlight any poor queries, and on very large datasets you may come to the point where you may have to make decisions whether to denormilize database schema.
One of his recommendations is to run an EXPLAIN on each of the pages, showing what kinds of queries are being run and how long they could take. Once you've found that there is an issue somewhere, then you can move on to his next tip - using mysqlreport and mytop to watch the processes. He includes some sample commands to run, but there's more detailed information in a guide on hackmysql.com.

23 Fiddle Mistakes to Avoid
Jun 07, 2013
Alan Jabbour on Henry Reed and the Grand Old Virginia Repertory
Feb 16, 2013
"Profit from the mistakes of others, 'cause you'll never live long enough to make 'em all yourself."
— Alfred E. Newman
1. Leaving your fiddle under a bed in a Louisiana motel (or anywhere else, for that matter). I did that once and was pretty darn lucky to get it back. I wouldn't want to try that again.
2. Going to a gig, recording session or jam without spare instruments and vital spare parts. Ideally, it'd be good to have a second fiddle. Failing that, though, you'll at least want to have a spare bow or two, spare rosin, extra strings, and maybe even a spare shoulder rest, if you use one. During one gig with Merle Haggard's son Marty, I broke all the hair from my best bow and broke the tip off my second bow. Good thing I had a third bow along.
3. Heading off to a gig, jam, or whatever, without a phone number and address of the place where you're trying to go. Back in the 1970s I missed a chance to go to a party with Stéphane Grappelli.
Ike Issacs, his guitarist, and I were trying to follow the car Stéphane was riding in, but we got separated and, with no phone number or address, had no idea where we were going.
4. Playing too loud or too soft. If you're playing acoustically, you're in control. If you're going through a soundboard, the volume level that your audience hears may be beyond your control. A good trick I use when playing gigs such as the Northwest Folklife Festival is to play through both an amp and a microphone. That way, if the mic isn't working, you can turn up the amp. If for some reason the amp isn't working you can work the microphone a little closer. If you have a friend in the audience, it's a good idea to ask them to listen to your volume in relation to the rest of the band and report back both to you and to the soundperson immediately after the first song. Don't let them come up to you when you're through with the gig and say, "I couldn't hear you all night." It's a good idea not to get ego and volume mixed up. If you're battling the ubiquitous too-loud guitar player, you can suggest that they point their amp at their ears rather than at the back of their legs. Few guitarists have ears on the back of their legs. In Asleep at the Wheel, some of the players would literally rip the speakers out of 400-watt amps, and the only reason that I can hear at all today is that I always used, and still use, Mack's Pillow-Soft silicone earplugs on all electric gigs.
5. Playing out of tune. I practice with two tuners turned on constantly. Modern tuners read quite rapidly. There are good iPhone tuning apps and a nice computer tuner for Macs called Vocal Lab. Korg tuners have a fairly forgiving green "in tune" light, and I try to keep that light on all the time as I practice. Regardless of how long you practice, if you practice out of tune, you'll play out of tune, and precious hours are spent merely reinforcing bad pitch habits.
6. Playing out of time. I was playing for Joe Venuti at his home one day, and my time got a little sloppy. He beat his hand on the arm of his chair and bellowed, "Time, time, time! That's the most important thing!" Electronic metronomes and programs such as Band-in-a-Box will keep you honest, if you synchronize with them rather than simply having them turned on as you ignore them. One caveat, though — it's a bad idea to let an external time-keeper such as a metronome or computerized backup band rush you into playing out of tune. Make sure the pitch is right, and then, still keeping a good eye on your pitch, you can start to work on your time. If you practice out of time, you'll play out of time.
7. Being a "jam hog." We've all had the misfortune of playing in a jam session with someone who lives in an inward-facing hall of mirrors. It's not all about any of us, so share the solo riches!
8. Stepping on a vocalist. As backup musicians, we should be the frame for the picture that is the vocalist. A backup musician who recorded behind Billie Holiday called playing backup to vocals "filling in the windows." While sometimes a pedal-to-the-metal, non-stop backup line can successfully drive a vocalist (see Joe Holley fiddling behind Tommy Duncan's vocals in the Bob Wills band), more often than not, "If you get too busy (with your backup), pretty soon you won't be too busy," as they say in Gnash-ville.
9. Playing with a feel that clashes with the one played by the band. Most Latin music, a lot of rock 'n' roll, some boogie-woogie, fast fiddling, and classical music as it's played today use what are called straight eighth notes. They are played evenly. Swing, Dixieland, bebop, western swing, country and blues shuffles and many other styles feature eighth notes that "lope" to some extent at all but the fastest tempos. This is a tricky thing to learn, as the loping eighth notes lope less and less as the tempo increases. Listen to the guitar and piano to see if they are loping their eighth notes as if they were triplets with the middle note left out, playing them straight or something in between. You'll almost certainly want to match your eighth note feel to the one being played by the band.
10. Leaving your fiddle unprotected on stage between sets. I know, I'm guilty of this too sometimes. However, a Seattle-area violinist left his fiddle on top of a piano between sets, where it was destroyed by a falling bass. Play it safe and put it in the case.

A few sentences from a creative content writer hint that Microsoft is preparing to shift its public image. A cryptic message on the Cargo Collective portfolio suggest that three, 60-second spots will help change and reinvent Microsoft.
The man checks out. He's done copy for Dr. Pepper and Diet Snapple Campaigns. What's he doing at Microsoft? A re-branding. This is what it says:
"Currently under NDA for project specifics. Hired to re-brand the image of Microsoft in three 60-second spots."
Microsoft is one of those companies that faces a bit of an image problem with the public. Let's be honest, you and I live in somewhat of a 'pro-Microsoft' bubble. We use, cover, and talk about Microsoft products all day long. Sure there are flaws that need to be addressed with them, nonetheless we really enjoy them. But outside our bubble, most people remember Microsoft as that greedy, monopolistic company of the late 90's. The same company that gave us Vista and the Blue Screen of Death. That image is the one Microsoft needs to shake if it hopes to compete with Google and Apple for mindshare.
So what are these supposed 60-second spots going to be like? We have no clue. You can check out the portfolio of the content writer to get an idea for his specific style. What do you guys think Microsoft should do to help change its public image?
This is a big year for Microsoft. Windows Phone 8 is still fighting an uphill battle against iOS and Android. Windows 8 is helping shift how we think of computing. The next Xbox is expected. And all these devices are going to tie-in even better with future 'Blue' updates. If there was a time to shift the public's perception of Microsoft, this would be that year.

At the very end of his State of the State address to the Legislature last week, Gov. Jerry Brown – almost as an afterthought – tersely declared, "We have too many struggling families ..."
Well, yes, we do. In fact, according to an alternate Census Bureau method of calculating poverty that includes cost of living, nearly a quarter of Californians are mired in poverty, the highest rate of any state.
One would think that fact would have rated more than a throwaway line from the governor as he delivered a report on "the condition of the state."
However, Brown was into election-year positivism, hailing what he called a "California comeback," in a speech clearly aimed at setting the stage for his bid for another term. Dwelling on negatives, such as poverty, wasn't on the agenda.

Nor, as Brown crowed about California's gaining a million new jobs, would he talk about its million-plus still-unemployed workers and its unemployment rate, one of the nation's highest.
The hard fact is that California's recovery from the worst recession since the Great Depression has been slow and spotty, concentrated in the San Francisco Bay Area and a few other coastal enclaves, while recession-like conditions remain in much of the state.
Conversely, however, that doesn't exempt the prosperous pockets from poverty.
The Public Policy Institute of California, using methodology similar to that of the Census Bureau, calculated local poverty rates and found, surprisingly, that high-income counties in the Bay Area also tend to have very high rates of poverty because of their sky-high living costs, especially for housing.
Another bit of data, interestingly, comes from Brown's own program of shifting more school aid into districts with high numbers of poor and/or English-learner students.
Nearly 60 percent of our six million K-12 students qualify as poor because they are eligible for free or reduced-price school meals due to low family incomes.
So California, the richest state in the nation, has a big poverty problem that its governor doesn't deign to acknowledge. And he took some rhetorical flak for that lapse from both Republicans, including two who want to succeed him, and Democrats – not that they agree on what to do about it.
Democrats would have the state ramp up spending on welfare and other "safety net" services while Republicans contend that making the state more amenable to job-creating private investment would be a better approach.
A third path would be to ameliorate, to the extent possible, the cost-of-living factors that heavily affect poverty rates.
Our high housing, utility, auto fuel and other living costs stem, in part, from state and local government policies that are often implemented, in the name of societal benefit, without any thought to their effects on the "struggling families" that Brown barely mentioned.

Congratulations, and welcome to your new Arch Linux system!
Your new Arch Linux base system is now a functional GNU/Linux environment ready for customization. From here, you may build this elegant set of tools into whatever you wish or require for your purposes.
Go ahead and login with the root account, because we will configure pacman and update the system as root.
Configure pacman
Pacman is the Arch Linux package manager. It is highly recommended to study and learn how to use it. Read
man pacman, have a look at the pacman article, or check out the Pacman Rosetta article for a comparison to other popular package managers.
For repository selections and pacman options, edit
[repo_name] header lines, as well as the
Include lines. Failure to do so will result in the selected repository being omitted! This is a very common error.
# nano /etc/pacman.conf
Most people will want to use
[extra] and
If you installed Arch Linux x86_64, it's recommended that you enable the
[multilib] repository, as well (to be able to run both 32 bit and 64 bit applications):
[multilib] Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
See Official Repositories for more information, including details about the purpose of each repository.
For software unavailable directly through pacman, see Arch User Repository.
Mirrors are listed in
/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist, ordered by priority.
- Arch Linux MirrorStatus reports various aspects about the mirrors such as network problems with mirrors, data collection problems, the last time mirrors have been synced, etc.
- Mirrorlist Generator uses the above to automatically sort mirrors by various criteria. Please use HTTP mirrors. They are faster because of something called keepalive. FTP is slower, because it sends out a signal each time pacman downloads a package, resulting in a brief pause. For other ways to generate a mirror list, see Sorting mirrors and Reflector.
Change them to your liking and force pacman to refresh all package lists even if they are considered to be up to date:
# pacman -Syy
Use this whenever a mirror is changed. This is considered to be good practice and will avoid possible headaches.
Update the system
Often, the developers will provide important information about required configurations and modifications for known issues. The Arch Linux user is expected to consult these places before performing an upgrade:
- Arch news. If you did not read this before an upgrade and you encounter an error, check the news before you post a question on the forum!
- Announce mailing list.
Sync, refresh the package database, and upgrade your entire system with:
# pacman -Syu
Or, same thing:
# pacman --sync --refresh --sysupgrade
If you are prompted to upgrade pacman itself at this point, respond by pressing Template:Keypress, and then reissue the
pacman -Syu command when finished.
Keep in mind that Arch is a rolling release distribution. This means the user doesn't have to reinstall or perform elaborate system rebuilds to upgrade to the newest version. Issuing
pacman -Syu periodically (and noting the above warning) keeps the entire system up-to-date and on the bleeding edge. At the end of this upgrade, the system will be completely current.
See the Package Management section of the FAQ for answers regarding updating and managing packages.
Ignoring packages
After executing the command
pacman -Syu, the entire system will be updated. It is possible to prevent a package from being upgraded. A typical scenario would be a package for which an upgrade may prove problematic for the system.
In this case, there are two options:
- Indicate the package(s) to skip using the
# pacman -Syu --ignore libass,filesystem
- Indicate the package(s) to skip in
# nano /etc/pacman.conf
# Pacman won't upgrade packages listed in IgnorePkg and members of IgnoreGroup IgnorePkg = libass filesystem
:: Removing leftover files [FAIL] /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/uuidd.conf Unknown user 'uuidd'See FS#31663. This can be fixed by reinstalling util-linux using
pacman -S util-linux. This will likely be fixed in a newer version.
Please note that the user is expected to keep the whole system up-to-date with
pacman -Syu, rather than selectively upgrading packages. You may diverge from this typical usage as you wish; just be warned that there is a greater chance that things will not work as intended and that it could break your system. The majority of complaints happen when selective upgrading, unusual compilation or improper software installation is performed. Use of
IgnorePkg in
/etc/pacman.conf is therefore discouraged, and should only be used sparingly, if you know what you are doing. Use of
IgnorePkg is analogous to "voiding the warranty".
Add a user
Add a normal user account, using one of the two following methods. The user archie is just an example.
Interactive method
adduser command will prompt for information interactively:
# adduser
Login name for new user []: archie User ID ('UID') [ defaults to next available ]: Initial group [ users ]: Additional groups (comma separated) []: audio,video,storage,power,optical,lp,scanner,games Home directory [ /home/archie ]: Shell [ /bin/bash ]: Expiry date (YYYY-MM-DD) []:
As shown in the example, you are advised to enter values only for the
Login name,
Additional groups, and leave the other fields empty.
Additional groups list from the example is a typical choice for a desktop system, hence it is recommended especially for beginners:
- audio - for tasks involving sound card and related software.
- video - for video tasks and hardware acceleration.
- storage - for managing storage devices.
- power - for allowing interactions with power options (e.g. shutdown with power button).
- optical - for managing tasks pertaining to the optical drive(s).
- lp - for managing printing tasks.
- scanner - for using a scanner.
- games - for write permission for games in the games group.
For additional information about listed and other groups, see User groups.
Now you will be presented with a preview of your new account, and the option to cancel or continue operations. After pressing Template:Keypress the account will be created, and you will be prompted to enter additional, optional information for the new user (e.g. the full name). After that, you will be asked to enter the password for your account.
Non-interactive method
# useradd -m -g users -G audio,video,storage,power,optical,lp,scanner,games -s /bin/bash archie # passwd archie
To enter additional information, you can use the
chfn command.
Deleting the user account
In the event of an error, or if you wish to delete this user account in favor of a different name or for any other reason, use
# userdel -r [username]
-r option will remove the user's home directory and its content, along with the the user's settings (the so-called "dot" files).
More information
Read Users and Groups for further information. If you want to change the name of your user or any existing user, consult the Change username page. You may also check the man pages for
usermod(8) and

It's hard to overstate the fear that arrived with reports of people mysteriously falling ill and even dying after attending an American Legion convention in Philadelphia during the summer of 1976.
"We don't know what we're dealing with," Pennsylvania's secretary of health was quoted as saying at the time.
The culprit, it turned out, was a bacterium. The microscopic organism was christened Legionella pneumophila; the serious infection it causes, Legionnaires' disease. Discovered in 1977, Legionella has sickened hotel guests, hospital patients, hot tubbers, cruise ship passengers, elderly nursing home residents, tourists and office workers.
This week, Chicago public health officials announced that two people had died of Legionnaires' disease, and six others are reported to have been sickened. The connection appears to be their presence at downtown's JW Marriott Hotel between mid-July and mid-August.
The Tribune contacted experts on Legionnaires' disease to talk about this infamous illness.
Q: How much time should I spend worrying about Legionnaires' disease?
A: For most people, not much.
"I don't think people should be super worried about it," said Dr. Emily Landon, hospital epidemiologist at University of Chicago Medicine. "We don't see a huge number of cases in this hospital and at hospitals in Chicago. I think this is a very unfortunate event, but it does not happen a lot."
There are an estimated 20 to 80 cases of Legionnaires' disease in every 1 million people in developed countries each year, said Dr. Paul Edelstein, director of the Clinical Microbiology Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania. That adds up to 200 to 800 cases a year in the Chicago area.
And the cases don't occur randomly, Edelstein said. The elderly, smokers and people with compromised immune systems are most susceptible to developing Legionnaires' disease. All of the known victims of the Chicago outbreak were at least 49, according to public health officials.
Q: I would still like to avoid it if I can. Is that possible?
A: The good news is that the infection is not spread from person to person, so coming into contact with people with Legionnaires' disease is not risky, Edelstein said.
The bad news is that it is hard to avoid all possible sources of the bacteria, which grow well in warm water found in places like the tanks and pipes of industrial cooling systems of large buildings as well as in hot tubs and fountains. It is easier to stay out of hot tubs than to avoid cooling tower water vapor. Edelstein said some of the most spectacular outbreaks have been linked to large buildings, either from contamination of circulating hot water or cooling towers.
In 2001, 449 cases of confirmed Legionnaires' disease were reported in and around Murcia, Spain, according to a scientific paper. The most likely source was hospital cooling towers spewing contaminated vapor into the summer air.
Q. What happens if I am infected?
Breathed in, the bacteria may multiply in the lungs, causing a serious and sometimes deadly pneumonia. High fever, chills, body aches, cough, difficulty breathing and pain in the chest are associated with Legionnaires' disease, Landon said.
"Legionnaires' pneumonia can be nasty," she said. "It can really take you down."
Q: Is Legionnaires' disease treatable?
A: "Legionella is a pretty easy bug to kill," Landon said. Antibiotics — specifically quinolones and macrolides — are effective.
That said, deaths are associated with outbreaks, particularly because people who tend to come down with Legionnaires' disease often are medically fragile.
Q: Is it possible to prevent the bacteria from becoming a public health problem?
A: Yes. Even though hospitals are known as a source of Legionnaires' disease, University of Chicago Medicine has not had a case in more than 14 years, Landon said. That's because officials are hypervigilant about testing and treating potential sources of Legionella transmission, she said.
A fountain in one of the hospital lobbies doesn't run, she said, because the amount of chlorine needed to use it safely would make people standing nearby cough.
People who maintain buildings with large cooling systems need to be similarly vigilant, testing the water regularly as well as disinfecting and cleaning the systems, Landon said.
Hot tubs also should be checked and cleaned regularly, Edelstein said, and maximum guest limits observed. If there are too many people in a hot tub, their dead skin cells and other organic matter can overwhelm the disinfectant added to water, allowing Legionella to grow.
"It is a real art to maintain swimming pools and recreational spas correctly," he said, adding, "which is why I avoid rooms with spas in them as much as I can."

Jan. 14, 2001: Sid Vicious suffered a compound fracture during a four-corners match against Scott Steiner, Jeff Jarrett and Road Warrior Animal for the WCW Championship at the Sin pay-per-view. Sid jumped off the top rope to give Steiner a boot to the face. Upon landing his other leg, however, he broke his tibia and fibula.
This video is not for the squeamish.
Aug. 3, 1997: During a WWE Intercontinental Championship match, Stone Cold Steve Austin suffered a broken neck after a botched pile driver by Owen Hart. Austin was able to finish the match, even pinning Hart, but had to be helped to the back room. Austin suffered temporary paralysis as a result of the injury. His next match wasn�t until Nov. 9, 1997.
Feb. 12, 2012: At TNA pay-per-view Against All Odds, Jesse Sorensen suffered a broken neck in a match against Zema Ion. Attempting a springboard moonsault toward the outside of the ring, Ion�s knees connected with Sorensen�s head. The impact compressed Sorensen�s cervical vertebrae and fractured his C-1 vertebra.
Oct. 5, 1999: WWE�s Droz, wrestling under the name Puke, was paralyzed after breaking two bones in his neck during a match against D�Lo Brown. When Brown attempted a running power bomb, he wasn�t able to get a good grip and Droz wasn�t able to execute a proper jump to assist with the move. Brown also slipped on a drink thrown into the ring by a fan. Droz has since regained most of the use of his upper body.
No video available.
Dec. 1990: Charles Austin, known as a jobber in pro wrestling, was partially paralyzed after a WWE tag-team match with Lanny Poffo against The Rockers (Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty). Jannetty executed finishing move the Rocker Dropper and Austin tucked in his neck, resulting in a broken neck.
May 21, 2001: Triple H and Steve Austin were defending their Tag Team Championship against Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit on an episode of WWE Raw. While Jericho had Austin in the Walls of Jericho, Triple H ran to break it up and his left quadtriceps muscle tore right off the bone in his leg. Despite the injury, Triple H completed the match. He was kept out of action for eight months.
Feb. 6, 1990: Sting suffered a torn patella tendon, the result of a freak accident. While attempting to interrupt a cage match featuring the Four Horsemen at Clash of Champions X. Sting was held back by security on his way to the ring and the injury appears to occur shortly after his arrival.
Nov. 27, 1986: NWA�s Starrcade saw a scafold match between The Midnight Express and Road Warriors. Jim Cornette of The Express climbed over the edge of a scaffold and dangled from underneath before dropping approximately 20 feet to the ring. When he landed, one of Cornette�s knees buckled inward, tearing the ligaments within.
This video is also not for the sqeamish.
Jan. 19, 1998: At the 1998 Royal Rumble, Shawn Michaels faced The Undertake in a casket match. At one point, The Undertaker performed a back-body drop of Michaels to the outside of the ring. The edge of the casket caught Michaels in his lower spine and he suffered two herniated discs. Michaels still completed the match. The injury would eventually force Michaels into his first retirement.
Oct. 1, 2007: During a match on WWE Raw with Mr. Kennedy, John Cena suffered a torn pectoral muscle while executing a hip toss. Cena finished the match, including post-match theatrics with Randy Orton. It was later revealed the muscle was torn completely off the bone. Cena made a surprising return to action Jan. 27, 2008 at the Royal Rumble.
Jan. 30, 2005: During the WWE pay-per-view event, Royal Rumble 2005, there was a dispute as to who won the match. Both John Cena and Batista went over the top rope and the referees were split on who the winner was. A furious Vince McMahon entered but ended up tearing both of his quadriceps muscles as he went into the ring, finishing his speech in a sitting position.
Dec. 19, 1999: Bret Hart suffered a serious concussion during WCW pay-per-view event Starrcade after taking a boot to the face from Goldberg. Unaware of the severity of the injury, Hart continued to compete in future matches. He was forced to retire due to the injury in October 2000.
March 16, 1994: Mick Foley, wrestling under the name Cactus Jack, was wrestling Vader in Munich, Germany as part of a WCW European tour. Foley performed a hangman, where a wrestler's head is tangled between the top two ring ropes. As he untangled himself, two thirds of his ear was torn off.
June 28, 1998: Another Mick Foley incident. While wrestling as Mankind at the WWE's King of the Ring pay-per-view event in 1998, he was thrown from the top of the Hell In A Cell cage by The Undertaker onto an announce table below. What's more Foley was at the wrong end of another high-impact move and was choke slammed through the top of the cage to the ring below. He suffered a dislocated jaw, bruised kidney, concussion, missing teeth and had a huge gash under his lip.
Dec. 23, 1999: During WCW Thunder, Goldberg smashed the windows of nWo's limousine as part of a bit. While breaking one window, he suffered a severe cut to his right forearm. The injury was so bad he ended up missing five months of action.
Feb. 1990: At a JPW versus NJPW supercard show, Vader faced Stan Hansen. During an exchange, Hansen accidentally poked Vader in his eye, causing it to pop out of its socket. Vader took a moment to take off his mask, trying to put his eye back in place. Afterward, he continued to wrestle.
Nov. 1994/Dec. 1998: ECW wrestler Sabu suffered a broken neck -- twice. The first was against Chris Beniot in November 1994 where Sabu was thrown and unable to land properly. The next was in December 1998 against Taz where Sabu took a Taz-Plex through a table and landed improperly.
The video below is of the latter injury.

Since Web Designer Wall was launched last week, I received several emails regarding on how I made the main illustration background. I thought I should put up a quick Illustrator tutorial so everyone can share. This article will outline the main steps on how I made the flower pattern in Illustrator. Hopefully, this can answer your question.
1. Sketch
Always draw your illustration on paper first. This will save your time.
2. Trace
The illustration was traced in Adobe Illustrator using my favorite tracing technique. First, import the scan in Illustrator and set Layer Opacity to 20%.
Then trace it with the Pen tool.
3. Coloring
After you've done the tracing, go to Colourlovers.com (or any color palette sites) and find the color themes that you like. What I did was copy the sample image from the site, then paste it directly in Illustrator.
Now fill the path color by using the Eyedropper tool.
With the Eyedropper tool active, select the path, then click on the image to pick the color. That's it. Quick and easy.

HONOLULU, Hawai'i – Keilani Jennings became UC Santa Barbara's all-time home runs leader Saturday by knocking two homers in game one of the doubleheader at Hawai'i. The Gauchos dropped the first game 11-9 despite Jennings capturing history, and fell 8-0 in part two of the doubleheader.
UCSB drops to 29-23 overall with a 10-11 mark in Big West play, while Hawai'i moves to 40-11 overall and 17-4 in conference.
Game One
After struggling during Friday's game (0-4), Keilani Jennings wasted no time in the doubleheader to earn her first hit in Hawai'i. But not only did she make a hit, she also made history.
With two outs and a runner on second, Jennings took a 3-2 pitch for a ride over the centerfield wall for her 30th career home run, tying Tiffany Wright for the most of any Gaucho. And for icing on the cake, the goner also gave UCSB the early 2-0 lead.
Not satisfied with just tying the record, Jennings clubbed career number 31 to set herself apart from every other player to wear the Gaucho uniform in the top of sixth. With UCSB trailing 10-6, Jennings sent the first pitch sailing over right center to put the Gauchos within one.
Hawai'i would not allow another Gaucho run in the game, but by no means was this an easy win.
After the Gauchos went up 3-0 in the first, the Rainbow Wahine took their first lead of the game when they recorded two homers in the bottom of the second to gain the 4-3 edge.
Their lead would be short lived, though, as UCSB took it right back in the top of the third. Arianna Palomares hit a leadoff double to right center and advanced to third on the next at-bat. McKenzie Kane replaced the freshman as a pinch runner before Pilpil came up to bat. However, Kane wouldn't have to use her speed to cross home plate because Pilpil knocked a single through the left side to easily run her in. Pilpil and Jennings, who was previously hit by a pitch, would eventually be sent home after Hawai'i's pitcher committed a throwing error.
Now down 6-4, the Rainbow Wahine put up six unanswered runs to regain the lead and then some with a 10-4 score. Jennings' record-breaking home run in the top of the sixth narrowed the deficit down to one, but Hawai'i kept UCSB scoreless for the rest of the game to nab the 11-9 win.
Game Two
Hawai'i clinched the series victory with an 8-0 win over the Gauchos. The Rainbow Wahine put together four home runs in the mercy rule decision.
Collins was credited with the loss, but tossed an efficient 2.1 innings. She came limited Hawai'i to just two hits and one earned run to go along with a strikeout.
In the top of the third, the Gauchos had an opportunity to get on the board. Sami Stark led off with a single hit up the middle and was replaced by McKenzie Kane as a pinch runner. Jessica Soria then slapped a single over to second, which also advanced Kane into scoring position. Arianna Palomares loaded the bases when she wisely took a walk. Now with a force out at any base, Shelby Wisdom hit a grounder over to the shortstop who quickly made the throw to beat Kane at the plate four number two. Keilani Jennings was the last out when she grounded out to the shortstop one at-bat later.
The Rainbow Wahine broke away from the Gauchos in the fourth inning when they put up four runs off two homers. The first was a solo shot hit to right center to put Hawai'i up 4-0. Andriana Collins came in to relieve Wisdom after the dinger and found immediately recorded an out when she forced Leisha Li`ili`i to fly out to right field. One batter later, though, Jazmine Zamora homered to left center to move her team's lead to 7-0. Collins was able to stop the bleeding by striking out the next batter to end the inning.
To solidify the five-inning finish, Hawai'i's Jessica Iwata sent a pitch over the center field wall for the walk off home run.
Despite the loss, UCSB grinded out a tough win on Friday and Keilani Jennings became the Gauchos' all-time homerun leader. The team will return home on Friday to host UC Riverside in their final series of the season. Tickets are available here.

31243, Hymns, From All That Dwell below the Skies, no. 90
1. From all that dwell below the skies,
Let the Creator's praise arise;
Let the Redeemer's name be sung
Through ev'ry land, by ev'ry tongue.
2. In ev'ry land begin the song;
To ev'ry land the strains belong.
In cheerful sounds all voices raise
And fill the world with loudest praise.
3. Your lofty themes, ye mortals, bring;
In songs of praise divinely sing.
The great salvation loud proclaim,
And shout for joy the Savior's name.
4. Eternal are thy mercies, Lord;
Eternal truth attends thy word.
Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore,
Till suns shall rise and set no more.

How Do I Search the Collection?
To search the collection image by image you will need to follow this series of links:
⇒ Select the "Browse" link in the initial search page
⇒ Select the "Province (Województwo)" category
⇒ Select the "Place (Miejsce)" category
⇒ Select the "Event/Years (Wydarzenie/Lata)" category which takes you to the images
Look at the images one by one comparing the information with what you already know about your ancestors to determine which one is your ancestor. You may need to compare the information about more than one person to make this determination.
Entries are normally made separately for baptisms, marriages and burials, in chronological order. In later years, separate volumes were created for each sacrament type. If there isn't a separate index volume, page through the entries chronologically.
Begin your search by finding your ancestors in the index. Name indexes to baptisms, marriages, and death or burials make it possible to access a specific record quickly. Remember that these indexes may contain inaccuracies, such as altered spellings, misinterpretations, and optical character recognition errors if the information was scanned.
When searching the index it is helpful to know the following:
- The place where the event occurred
- The name and surname of the person
- The approximate date of the event
- The name of the parents or spouse
Use the locator information found in the index (such as page, entry, or certificate number) to locate your ancestors in the records. Compare the information in the record to what you already know about your ancestors to determine if this is the correct person. You may need to compare the information of more than one person to make this determination.
When you have located your ancestor's record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details that can lead you to other records about your ancestors. Add this new information to your records of each family.
For example:
- Use the marriage date and place as the basis for compiling a new family group or for verifying existing information.
- Use the birth date or age along with the place of birth of each partner to find a couple's birth records and parents' names.
- Use the birth date or age along with the place of birth to find the family in census records.
- Use the residence and names of the parents to locate church and land records.
- Occupations listed can lead you to employment records or other types of records such as military records.
- Use the parent's birth places to find former residences and to establish a migration pattern for the family.
- The name of the celebrant is a clue to their religion or area of residence in the county. However, ministers may have reported marriages performed in other counties.
- Compile the marriage entries for every person who has the same surname as the bride or groom; this is especially helpful in rural areas or if the surname is unusual.
- Continue to search the marriage records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives of the bride and groom who may have married in the same county or nearby. This can help you identify other generations of your family or even the second marriage of a parent. Repeat this process for each new generation you identify.
- Use the marriage number to identify previous marriages.
- When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct.
Keep in mind:
The information in church records is usually reliable, but depends upon the reliability of the informant and the diligence of the recorder.
- Earlier records may not contain as much information as the records created after the late 1800.
- There is also some variation in the information given from one record to another.
If you are unable to find the ancestors you are looking for, try the following:
- Check for variant spellings of the surnames, particularly phonetic variants.
- Check for a different index. There are often indexes at the beginning of each volume.
- Search the indexes and records of nearby localities.

…portrait of donuts as couch potatoes
After a full round of housecleaning and more furniture moving, I rewarded myself this weekend by settling in with some personal knitting. My Donutty Basic Chic Hoodie is now only missing a Sleeve (and whatever I'm going to do with the neck, hee.)
Now if you've been visiting here for awhile, you know I have a love/hate relationship with knitting sleeves in the round, especially on top-down sweaters. But somewhere along the line (needle type? yarn? design?) this vaporized on this one and I just kicked it! Of course, this is just Stockinette stitch so that goes like the wind on #7 needles but I think I was visualizing this as a big old sock leg because there were about the same amount of stitches as my favorite sock pattern. I've also learned to just calm down and rest the body of the piece in my lap and flick the sleeve back and forth while stitching (doing it Magic Loop style with one needle.) For the record, I rarely use a super-long needle to MLoop; usually a 32″ for sweaters and (!) 24″ (Inox Teflon) for socks. After a couple of rounds the needle cables conform to a tighter radius and I'm convinced it goes much faster than the super lengths (speedier pull-through, less wrestling with the cable).
The little Donut detailing came out very pretty after a nice little steam fest with the iron. The entire piece was lightly steam pressed from the wrong side, barely touching it with the iron. Then it was time for a little portrait, but if you've ever taken pictures of dark or black knitting you know it is wicked!
So I hacked my camera!
Lazy Girl Photography: I usually take pictures for the blog with a point & shoot camera (so fast) but I was going to try and use my oooooold Canon Digital Rebel (first model ever) with a lens I had that had a pretty big aperture (1.4 Prime Sigma 30mm EX — a lense many people are nutty about on these cameras). I love natural light and this time of year, there is a softness to the air and this would really capture it!
But the problem was I wasn't interested in using extra lights or even a regular flash so you could see the cables. That is: 1. Time Consuming; & 2. Might wash out part of the picture and leave the rest in the Cave. BUT, my little point & shoot Canon has a function where you can dial-down the strength of the flash and I searched around online and found a firmware Hack that would make ye old Rebel behave! :)
This was very wicked and exciting because I didn't know if the new function would even work or if the camera would even turn back on after I replaced it's brain!!! But no pain no gain and this camera is seriously out of warranty so I went for it.
The Hack commanded a button (Jump) that was assigned to something else and now I could ramp up and down the built-in camera flash to make a Fill Flash.
I think it worked pretty well! (This might still look a little dark on your monitor; sometimes the default computer system settings are a little dark and I always set the contrast and brightness higher to pop the photography I see on the web. Try it, you might like it!)
So now it's on the sleeve #2 and drumroll please, the Winner of the Freebie Friday 2 yarn…
Thanks everyone for playing and please remember to !!!!

The Space Shuttle Endeavour lights up the night sky as it embarks on the first U.S. mission dedicated to the assembly of the International Space Station. Liftoff on Dec. 4 from Launch Pad 39A was at 3:35:34 a.m. EST. During the nearly 12-day mission, the six-member crew will mate in space the first two elements of the International Space Station -- the already-orbiting Zarya control module with the Unity connecting module carried by Endeavour. Crew members are Commander Robert D. Cabana, Pilot Frederick W. "Rick" Sturckow, and Mission Specialists Nancy J. Currie, Jerry L. Ross, James H. Newman and Sergei Konstantinovich Krikalev, a Russian cosmonaut. This was the second launch attempt for STS-88. The first one on Dec. 3 was scrubbed when launch controllers, following an assessment of a suspect hydraulic system, were unable to resume the countdown clock in time to launch within the remaining launch window.

So what has become of the new Boeing Dreamliner? Since its grounding in January owing to its twitchy lithium-ion batteries, there's been little news. This is an unusually long grounding for a plane, especially one as technologically advanced as the 787. I know a little about this kind of thing, which is why I've been following this story keenly for a long time. In the early weeks of the 747 back in the late 1960s, the entire fleet was nearly grounded when a sensor my dad designed for it didn't work as planned. (Turned out literally to be a bug in the system; a tiny insect tripped a fire warning requiring a 747 to make an emergency, chutes-out landing in Texas. A simple fix prevented the problem from recurring, but not before my dad became a student of entomology.)
This morning comes news of the first test flight since the grounding, but there are no details of the "new battery system" that has been fitted into this plane. It's almost as though Boeing has put a news embargo on details of what its engineers are doing to fix this mess. Is the new battery system also lithium-ion, or have they gone back to some lower tech, lower power battery system?
The ordeal of the Dreamliner airplane ought to be some questions about the scalability of lithium-ion batteries. It's one thing to solve the heat and fire problems of the small ones we use in laptops, smart phones, and tablets, but as the Dreamliner's woes possibility suggest, scaling up lithium-ion batteries may be problematic. Jet airplanes receive frequent maintenance checks. Do we think automobile owners will do the same if we develop all-electric cars with large lithium-ion batteries?
Maybe we'll figure this out, and look back on the nightmare of the Dreamliner as a milestone in the development of larger battery technology. (Boeing's stock value is holding up remarkably well through this ordeal.) But I'm skeptical. The basic problem with all battery technology boils down to simple physics: what we're trying to do is get a solid-state device to deliver the same concentrated and rapid energy delivery we currently get from hydrocarbon fuels. Gasoline is, of course, explosive under certain conditions, as is natural gas. When you pack in a lot of energy into a solid-state device designed for rapid energy release, we often call it by a different name: a bomb.

Predictions for the 2011 Season
Cowboys @ Jets (Sept. 11): I know the Cowboys are underdogs in this game. But the core group of players on this team seems to be at their best when people are counting them out. I think the Cowboys win this game and force everyone to realize that they will be a playoff team this season. (WIN)
Cowboys @ 49ers (Sept. 18): Let's be honest here. The 49ers will be terrible this season. There is no reason the Cowboys should lose a game like this. And they can't afford to win easy games like this one. (WIN)
Cowboys vs. Redskins (Sept. 26): Crazy things always happen when these two teams meet. I am giving the Cowboys this one because they are at home. (WIN)
Cowboys vs. Lions (Oct. 2): The Lions are no longer the laughingstock of the league. But the Cowboys will be on a roll heading into this game and playing with confidence. (WIN)
Cowboys @ Patriots (Oct. 16): I'd really like to see the Cowboys pull off the upset here. But I don't think they will be goo enough on the defensive side of the ball early in the season to deal with Tom Brady. (LOSS)
Cowboys vs. Rams (Oct. 23): I know the Rams are a much improved team. But this is another one of those games that the Cowboys have to win if they expect to be a playoff team. (WIN)
Cowboys @ Eagles (Oct. 30): The Eagles are the chosen team this year or so they believe. They get the best of the Cowboys on this day but the Cowboys will get the last laugh. (LOSS)
Cowboys vs. Seahawks (Nov. 6): This is another one of those games that a good team has got to win. The Seahawks are not expected to be good at all this year. (WIN)
Cowboys vs. Bills (Nov. 13): You can see the theme here. The Cowboys have an easy schedule this season for the most part. They have to win here. (WIN)
Cowboys @ Redskins (Nov. 20): I can't pick a sweep for the Cowboys against the Redskins. History says something crazy will happen to let the Redskins pull out a squeaker. (LOSS)
Cowboys vs. Dolphins (Nov. 24): The defense should be getting very good by this point in the season. Chad Henne will be overwhelmed. (WIN)
Cowboys @ Cardinals (Dec. 4): It still turns my stomach to think about how the 2008 season unraveled thanks to an overtime loss against the Cardinals. I think the Cowboys pull this one out in a close game. And Romo survives this one. (WIN)
Cowboys vs. Giants (Dec. 11): The Giants are in a transition year with their roster. But they will still be dangerous. I give the Cowboys this one because they are at home. (WIN)
Cowboys @ Bucs (Dec. 17): This will be a tough game. The Bucs are an up and coming team. It might be a battle for a playoff spot. I give it to the Bucs. (LOSS)
Cowboys vs. Eagles (Dec. 24): The Cowboys clinch a playoff spot with a win here. The dream team falls in a close game. (WIN)
Cowboys @ Giants (Jan. 1): The Cowboys have clinched a playoff spot and the Eagles have clinched the NFC East. So the Cowboys rest many of their starters. (LOSS)
I probably have a pretty optimistic outlook on the overall record but the schedule is fairly easy this season for the Cowboys thanks to a 6-10 record last year. With so many more winnable games on the schedule I don't think 11-5 is out of the question. I see 10-6 at worst. But either way I think the Eagles will win the NFC East and the Cowboys will make the playoffs as a wild card team. I expect at least one playoff victory.
Is it realistic? Maybe, maybe not. There are a lot of unknowns heading into the season. But I have a lot of confidence in the new attitude and focus that Jason Garrett has brought to the organization.

Agrees completely. I think we might do really well this season.. possibly better than a 11-5 in my opinion it is completely possible. But I agree. We at minimum make play offs due to easy schedule. All they gotta do is show up, focus, and do their jobs.

ur dreaming...6-10 is where I see this team!Even with the easy schedule.ReplyDelete

The defense is bad & Rob Ryan has NEVER coached defense that has finished in the top half of the league,so if u think Ryan is goin to bring magic the numbers dont lie.And the talent level in the secondary is way below NFL standards.And why on earth would u keep Campo around!!ReplyDelete
I love all the negative comments here. The stars on this team perform best when they are counted out. No one is expecting much from the Cowboys. Somehow they were winning games in the 2nd half of last season with the same core players. I expect that to continue this year.ReplyDelete

South El Monte's Councilwoman Angelica Garcia is proposing that the city establish an ordinace to put more of the city's public information online. Here's how it reads on the agenda:
"Look into establishing an ordinance to incorporate 'paperless' agendas for City Council meetings in order to reduce the city's carbon footprint."
The city already puts the agendas online, so I wonder if she is talking about putting the staff reports online.
Garcia also wanted to establish a recycling program for all recycling materials at City Hall.

This cycle of ANTM has flown by. I have to say, the American version is superior to the British version, which is a collection of supermarket check out girls, alcoholics and wannabe But more about that later.
So Whitney –
She got my nerves for the whole series – that mouth! those teeth! She is fakeness defined. She has the All American Smug. She belongs in the pages of playboy or
Aren't they always harping on about how the girls need to be High Fashion? Whitney is not high fashion, half asleep Anya is.
Oh I get it – its a conspiracy as always. Little is cute but she looked out of place on the Versace catwalk but lets face it, its up to queen bee, Tyra. She wanted a chub to win it this year, so she did.
To be honest, I am still mourning beautiful Katarzyna.
Anyway, at least I have Britan's next top model right?
Urgh. The show is disgrace. The photos are crap, the girls are crap, Lisa Snowdon (presenter-model-famous-for-being-George-Clooneys-limpet) and her double chin are not qualified to judge any model.
Lisa & her chin –
At least Tyra has truly been there, done that. The people on the panel are pathetic on the BNTM. And they girls, the girls! So dull. They argue. They fight. They cry. They bully. This week they puke everywhere, and out the window of the car in the day after. Sounds like your average gathering of Boring! I'd rather spend my evening trimming of my split ends.

So, here we are, the Live Blog experiment. Hopefully this goes well and doesn't just turn into a bunch of incoherent drunken rambling. Also, lets pretend that all spelling and gramatical errors are intentional 🙂
Just like last year the snow is falling and my cab is late, hopefully I won't miss as much of The Drums as I did of Florence 12 months ago. Damn you snow!
Anyway, on to the show…
So, I didn't miss as much, I missed more. I missed the whole fucking set! They must've started almost as soon as the doors opened. Grrrr.
The Big Pink now, coming out to cyrpess hill. Sweet.
Actually, that's the high point so far. They're quite dreary really, like Glasvegas with a DJ. C'mon guys, get the crowd going a bit.
Right, 4 songs in and they've just asked the crowd if we're still here. Dude, doesn't that tell you something? Grow a fucking personality, and what's with all this tuneless noise. It's not a song, it's not big and it's not clever.
Ok, so as expected they finished with Big Single(tm) Dominoes, which is so out of keeping with the rest of their stuff. Hey ho, they're good at what they do, it's just that what they do isn't very good. We like their big pink amp though. Sorry.
Bombay Bicycle Club next, to the mosh pit! Do they still call it a mosh pit?
Right, so lesson learnt. Blogging from the mosh pit is not possible.
That was great, Bombay Bicycle Club know how to play live. I now want to buy the album, that's what it should be about. They hadn't even started an actual song and they had shat on The Big Pink from a great height. Energetic in performance and songs that was lots of fun. Even the gaggle of 14 year old Danny Dyer and Noel Gallagher wannabees determined to start a fight in the middle (seriously, who throws a shoe?) couldn't take away from how good that was. From the moment they started Dust on the Ground the crowd was up for it. A surprisingly powerful voice from such a slight singer everything about that set was great. Incidently, the reason the crowd is full of 14 year olds is so Bombay Bicycle Club can get their bassist into the gig. God to see Lil Chris still in work after his solo career tanked.
Forgot to mention, fat kid crowd surfing = v funny.
Maccabees now.
So far so much fun. There's no denying that these guys are good but, to me, it just all sounds the same. Problem with having such a distinctive voice I guess. Rover and his wife fucking love them though so that's something I guess 🙂
Seriously though, I do like The Maccabees, lots of energy, lots of fun, good crowd interaction and, according to Rover's wife, Orlando is actually quite attractive. She has a thing for skinny indie kids. Tells you all you need to know about Rover.
Btw, one of The Maccabees is left handed and wearing a Danger Mouse T-Shirt, how much more indie can you get?
Right, play Latchmere you bastards.
Still no Latchmere but lots, lots of fun. X-ray a highlight so far.
Btw, minor football related digression, Chelsea lost! Oh, and more importantly, re: yesterday – WEM-BER-LEY!
Back to it, so I couldn't tell you when one song stops and another starts, this is still good. You can see why The Maccabees are indie darlings. This is all good, crowd pleasing stuff; I have both albums but I haven't enjoyed them as much as this live perfomance.
Into the encore now and still no Latchmere, c'mon guys, don't disappoint. Yes, Love you better is a good track but I want a song about a wave machine!
Damnit, no Latchmere. Still, lots of fun and I picked up the Bombay Bicycle Club cd cheap from the merch stand and got it signed by the Ginger one, what's not to love? Anyway, that's all from me. Sober thoughts tomorrow.
Night all, thanks for being a part of this.
Right, home now. I know I said I'd signed off but whatever. Another enjoyable evening but I'm gutted I missed The Drums as they were the band I was most looking forward to. Still, Bombay Bicycle Club and The Maccabees were both excellent so that more than made up for it and hey, who doesn't want to own a cd signed by a Ginger? Night all.

Lennie Gallant adds, "We had received so many requests to run the show again this summer, from those who missed it and those who want to return with friends and family, that we decided to go with the flow! SEARCHING FOR ABEGWEIT will sail again this summer! We had an amazing run last year – the energy never lagged and the production seemed to evolve and become stronger with each performance as we discovered new ways to showcase the songs and stories.

2007 Hyundai Santa Fe ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
All-new crossover SUV suited for the suburbs.
Hyundai is on a roll. Its vehicles are proving to have the reliability and quality people expect from Japanese cars. The Hyundai Santa Fe is all-new for 2007 and early indications are that it could be a true alternative to the Toyota Highlander.
The Santa Fe is a so-called crossover SUV, meaning it's built like a car, using unibody construction instead of the body-on-frame construction of a traditional truck. It's a practical vehicle for everyday use.
Completely redesigned, the new 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe is attractive. It blends into the suburbs nicely, shedding the quirky looks of last year's model. It's larger than before and now offers third-row seating, for up to seven passengers. The five-passenger arrangement offers much more cargo space, however. The new Santa Fe is smooth and quiet and handles well on winding, paved roads. Yet it retains Hyundai's value quotient.
The 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe comes in three trim levels: GLS, SE, and Limited. All-wheel-drive is offered as an option ($2,000) on all models. The seven-passenger Touring Package ($1,200) includes a folding third-row seat with auxiliary climate control.
Safety features that come standard on all models include dual front airbags, front seat side-impact airbags (for torso protection), side curtain airbags (for head protection) and active front head restraints. Active safety features include antilock brakes, electronic stability control, traction control, and a tire-pressure monitoring system.
The GLS ($20,945) is powered by a 185-hp 2.7-liter V6 engine. it comes standard with cloth upholstery, a five-speed manual gearbox. A four-speed automatic transmission with Shiftronic manual control is optional ($1,200). The GLS is well equipped with air conditioning, a tilt and telescoping steering wheel, 112-watt AM/FM/CD/MP3 audio system with six speakers, rocker panel moldings, heated power side mirrors, power windows, power door locks, remote keyless entry, 16-inch alloy wheels, and a roof rack with rails.
The SE ($23,645) has a more powerful, 242-hp 3.3-liter V6 with a five-speed automatic transmission with Shiftronic and 18-inch alloy wheels. In addition to the equipment found on the GLS, the SE adds electrochromic auto-dimming rearview mirror with compass, front fog lights and steering wheel audio controls. An optional Premium Package ($1,600) adds a power driver seat with power lumbar support, a power tilt/slide glass sunroof, heated front seats and HomeLink. The Ultimate Package ($3,850) includes the Premium Package features, plus a rear-seat entertainment system with an eight-inch LCD monitor, 252-watt AM/FM/CD-changer/MP3 audio system with seven speakers (including subwoofer) and external amplifier, and a 115-volt power outlet in the rear cargo area.
The Limited ($25,945) adds leather seating surfaces, heated front seats, power driver seat with power lumbar support, dual zone automatic temperature control with outside temperature display and HomeLink. A chrome grille and exterior door handles, as well as a body color hatch spoiler, distinguish the Limited. The Ultimate Package ($3,550) includes a sunroof, rear-seat entertainment system with an eight-inch LCD monitor, a 605-watt Infinity Logic 7 Surround Sound AM/FM/CD-changer/MP3 audio system with 10 speakers (including subwoofer) and external amplifier, 115-volt power outlet and power front passenger seat.
XM Satellite Radio and a navigation system will be available on later models.
The Santa Fe includes Hyundai's bumper-to-bumper warranty of five years/60,000 miles and a powertrain warranty of 10 years/100,000 miles.
Compared to the previous-generation model (2006 and earlier), which was polarizing with its curvy lines, the new Hyundai Santa Fe blends in with other SUVs in its segment.
Hyundai says the new Santa Fe evokes the assertive grace of a speed skater with a relatively long wheelbase and short overhangs. Certainly if you squint your eyes and look at the side it has more of a profile of a sporty station wagon than that of a traditional body-on-frame SUV. Some would say it looks like a smaller version of the Volkswagen Touareg, which is not a bad comparison.
The most noticeable attribute of the Santa Fe's front is the complete absence of a bumper. Instead the front valence curves around from beneath the body to encompass the large grille and wrap around headlights. The hood slopes up toward the raked windshield and the wedge shape continues along the lower edges of the side windows that sweep up dramatically toward the tailgate.
Even the rear has distinctively curved lines with high mounted taillight clusters that are partially mounted on the main body and the tailgate. The easy to see and easy to grab tailgate handle is definitely a Santa Fe design cue.
Although the new Santa Fe is slightly larger than the previous model, it looks smaller because its styling is more refined and it looks less like a truck.
Pleasing is the best way to describe the interior of the Hyundai Santa fe as it features modern plastics with a soft touch feel. All models include blue accent lighting at night to illuminate the instruments, switches and the edges of the front cupholders. Even the base GLS has nice luxury touches that include realistic looking, but fake wood-trim accents across the width of the dashboard, surrounding the shifter and along the door panels.
The gauges are mounted in a large instrument pod in front of the steering wheel. The radio and climate controls are well located in a center stack that is mounted high in the dashboard for easy reach and observation while driving.
According to Hyundai's measurements, the headroom and legroom is greater in all rows than in competing models thanks to a uniquely designed unibody that is not based off an existing car platform, thus allowing the engineers to maximize interior space without compromise.
With the optional third row of seats folded down there is a generous 34.2 cubic feet of storage space on an almost flat floor. Fold down the middle row of seats and there is 79.3 cubic feet of storage space. Although the Santa Fe is one of smallest midsize SUVs in exterior dimensions it is far from being the smallest inside, a tribute to its space-efficient design.
The air vents for the center row of seats are mounted in the B-pillar, which is much more effective than being mounted down low behind the center console, as in many vehicles.
We did not get to try a model with the third row of seats. In our experience they are of limited use for anything more than carrying kids short distances. With them in place there is a mere 10 cubic feet of cargo space, which is no more than you'll find in a cramped two-door coupe. If you really need to carry seven passengers and/or cargo, a minivan is far more practical. Additionally, one loses the very practical hidden storage space under the rear floor when the vehicle is fitted with the optional third row of seats.
Driving Impression
Nobody can really expect an SUV, even one built using a stiff unibody, to handle as well as a sedan. However the new Hyundai Santa Fe comes mighty close. Indeed as long as you don't fling it around corners as if you're in a sports sedan, you'll have no complaints about the Santa Fe's handling.
Overall, the driving experience is transparent, meaning there is nothing outstanding, negatively or positively. The steering has a pleasant feel, neither too tight nor too loose, the brakes work well if not dramatically, the ride is smooth and the vehicle is quiet.
The GLS comes with the smaller of two available V6 engines and is available with a manual transmission, which is a unique combination in the U.S. We haven't had a chance to check it out and Hyundai admits few people will buy one, but a manual transmission is available for drivers who want one.
We briefly drove a Santa Fe with all-wheel drive and on dry pavement it did not feel any different from the front-drive model. All-wheel drive is designed to improve handling stability and traction on slippery surfaces.
All Santa Fe models include electronic stability control with traction control.
The best value may be the front-drive SE model, which has the same high-tech aluminum engine and transmission as the Limited.
The Hyundai Santa Fe is the same size as the Toyota Highlander, but it costs less. Judging from Hyundai's performance in J.D. Power and Associates quality studies, Hyundai's vehicles are right in there in terms of quality and reliability as well. If you're in the market for a suburban SUV rather than a genuine off-road vehicle, the capable and refined Santa Fe should be included on your shopping list.
NewCarTestDrive.com correspondent John Rettie drove the Hyundai Santa Fe in Santa Barbara.

Perched on a bluff overlooking the Pacific, the historic Point Montara Lighthouse Hostel is set against the dramatic and breathtaking scenery of the California coast.
Just 25 miles south of San Francisco, our hostel is both an idyllic retreat and a convenient base for exploring nearby Half Moon Bay. We also offer easy access to a wide range of outdoor recreation, including hiking, biking, swimming, surfing, kayaking, windsurfing, horseback riding, whale watching, or just relaxing on the beach.
Originally established in 1875 as a fog signal station after several ships ran ashore in the late 1860s, this historic lighthouse is still an operating aid-to-navigation maintained by the U.S. Coast Guard. The hostel has been in operation since 1980 through a partnership with California State Parks.
Guests are accommodated in both shared and private rooms in former Coast Guard quarters and the historic fog signal building. Enjoy cozy lounges, a secluded beach cove with tide pools, and landscaped native plant gardens. Amenities include DSL Internet and free WiFi, on-site laundry, free parking, and an espresso bar. We're proud to be Bay Area Green Business, and have received Gold-level STEP (Sustainable Travel Education Program) certification from Sustainable Tourism International.
The coastside location of HI Point Montara Lighthouse offers convenient access to several beaches for swimming, surfing, kayaking, windsurfing, and horseback riding. The hostel is also the perfect base for exploring the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, Pillar Point Harbor and Marsh, the Devil's Slide Coastal Trail, Mount Montara, and the quaint coastal town of Half Moon Bay.
