An Australian journalist has written a piece in which she voices displeasure at the distinct drawbacks of having to share the road/bike lanes with "lycra losers". 'Voicing displeasure' is probably a gross understatement.This woman says: "I cycle to work on my poverty-pack hybrid in my work clothes, cruising along at a leisurely pace as the lycra brigade whizzes past with audible groans of disgust at my clear lack of cycling style.If I dare get in their way with a wobbly start at the lights, the verbal abuse would make your hair curl.
I just smile politely and totter along like a happy little tortoise, invariably catching up to the lycra brigade at the many sets of lights between home and office."
Reading the whole article is necessary to understand her point, her humour and her rage."It's all downhill for the lycra losers"
She has a personal aesthetic perspective about cycling clothes - she hates them and thinks they look ridiculous. She rages against the sub-cultural attitude of what she calls 'the lycra losers'. Basically, this woman in Melbourne just wishes she could ride her bicycle to work in peace. Enjoying the ride, as it were.She rips into the lycra crowd on her streets and bike lanes with venom. You can think what you like about her point of view - and I'm sure everyone who reads this has an opinion about it.What is interesting to note is that this is merely history repeating itself. Let's back pedal a bit.In the mid to late 1800's, two-wheeled contraptions appeared with a variety of names. Among them, the Ordinary or 'Penny Farthing'. They were an instant hit among the wealthy, who were the only ones who could afford them. The young men of these upper classes, not having much else to do with their time, quickly figured out that it was rollicking good fun to race the machines and prove themselves to be the most daring daredevil on the block. 'Breakneck' speed originates from the early days of the bicycle, in particular the Ordinary.For a couple of decades the bicycle was the domain of the wealthy, in particular the young men, and hardly anyone else. Enter the Safety bicycle. Quicker than you can mount and set the machine in motion everyone was queuing up to buy one. There are countless references to how the Safety bicycle proved to be a fantastic democratizing tool. It liberated the working classes - giving them in the process the opportunity to thumb their noses at the Dandies - and it is even said to have improved the gene pool. In rural areas the bicycle gave labourers the opportunity to extend their travel radius and find work in towns and on farms farther away. The widened radius also gave them the chance to find wives in those now not-so-distant towns.The bicycle liberated women as well. There was no "men only" or "wealthy only" signs hanging on the bicycles in the bike shops. Only a price tag with a number that was accessible to everyone. Women hopped on board."The safety bicycle fills a much-needed want for women in any station of life…it knows no class distinction, is within reach of all, and rich and poor alike have the opportunity of enjoying this popular and healthful exercise." "A Blessing for Women," The Bearings magazine, 5 September 1895.
All this popular embracing of a previously elitist hobby was not welcomed by the Dandies. There was a - mostly verbal - uprising against labourers and women who chose to ride. There was much mocking, spitting, threatening to be had. All over the world.Fortunately, the draw of the bicycle and its democratic values were too strong and it soon entered the public domain. Liberation for all.Back to Melbourne. The journalist writing this piece has an advantage over the women and labourers in the late 1800's. She need not bite her tongue like women in the past. She has the power of words and the media.But her rant against the elitist cycling sub-culture who have enjoyed, in many countries, a sound monopoly of two-wheeled enjoyment for at least three or four decades, is understandable. Her reaction is merely history repeating itself. You can take her tone and wit or leave it, but her reaction is important.Incidentally, here's another reaction, this time from San Francisco, referring to the 'hornets'.
There is so much chatter on the internet in the same vein. The slough of copycat sites emulating Copenhagen Cycle Chic is a testament to the fact that we are well on our way to redemocratising the bicycle. The Slow Bicycle Movement, as well. The Australian's article nevertheless underlines that while we have a tailwind, there is still a slight incline ahead.
Cycling is still growing, but marketing bicycle culture is paramount if we are reinvent our cities and place the bicycle back in its rightful place as BOTH a hobby pursuit and sport AND a feasible, acceptable and equal transport form for the masses.

Derek Lowe (0-0) vs. Chris Young (1-0).
COMMENTS: Can't say there have been many surprises in this Padres series: The Dodgers have remained homerless and Jake Peavy dominated them yesterday. Now they face Chris Young, who went 1-1 with one no-decision and a 3.60 ERA against them last year. Can Lowe stay focused enough to keep the Dodgers in the game and can the bats deliver, even if they have to chip away with walks and singles? A win would give the Dodgers the series and create momentum for tomorrow, when they face (gulp) Dan Haren in Arizona.

A day after their party embedded a tough, anti-same-sex-marriage stance in its official platform — one shared by GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney — gay Republicans shrugged (virtually) and suggested that the intensity of the intraparty fight over the issue means victory is near.
"When you back someone into a corner, they fight back twice as hard," said Casey Pick of the Log Cabin Republicans, a national organization representing the interests of gays and lesbians.
"The platform is ugly and harmful," she said during a Wednesday gathering of same-sex marriage supporters at a law firm just across the Hillsborough River from the site of this week's Republican convention in Tampa, Fla.
But the stances that include support for a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage and for reinstating a military ban on openly gay Americans may also be hopeful, she insisted, quoting Gandhi: "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."
There was, indeed, an air of quiet confidence among gay Republicans who filled the firm's elegant, dark-paneled 41st-floor conference room, noshing on omelets and fruit and taking in sweeping views that extended to St. Petersburg and beyond.
That confidence stemmed not only from the country's increasing acceptance of same-sex marriage, they say, but also from a landmark moment for the movement: This has been the first-ever GOP convention during which party leaders asked representatives from the Log Cabin Republicans to participate in the platform meetings.
"We've been invited to engage," said Log Cabin Deputy Director Donald Bramer, a Navy reservist and former official in the Commerce and Health and Human Services departments during the administration of President George H.W. Bush. "We've achieved a certain level of respect."
Pick, the Log Cabin's program director and an evangelical Christian, however, characterized the tone of the party's discussions about same-sex marriage in meetings of the Constitution subcommittee as largely "hostile."
"We lost," she said. "And you could say the social conservatives in our party dropped the hammer harder because we were there."
Said Michael Carr, a Log Cabin board member, convention delegate and Colorado state Senate candidate from Denver: "We're less than ecstatic about the language in the platform. But the good thing? It doesn't matter."
"I haven't read the platform, and I probably won't," said Carr, whose Democratic opponent this fall is also openly gay. "I'm running on school reform, jobs and marriage equality."
In that order.
"Regardless of the platform, the issue is the economy," he said.
In 2004, the Log Cabin Republicans declined to endorse President George W. Bush during his run for re-election. They endorsed Sen. John McCain during his nominating convention in 2008.
Bramer said the organization's board will make its endorsement decision in coming weeks.
In 1994, when Romney was running for the U.S. Senate from Massachusetts, he sought an endorsement from the state Log Cabin chapter. In a letter to the organization, Romney wrote: "I am more convinced than ever before that as we seek to establish full equality for America's gay and lesbian citizens, I will provide more effective leadership than my opponent.
"If we are to achieve the goals we share," he wrote, "we must make equality for gays and lesbians a mainstream concern. My opponent cannot do this. I can and will."
Romney has been wooing a very different constituency since he began running for president.
Gay Republicans acknowledge that Romney's current positions are anathema to their freedom-to-marry aims. But Dave Myers, a Republican delegate from Maryland, says he has found some reassurance in Romney's past assurances that he would represent everyone, "regardless of race, creed or sexuality."
"I don't think Mitt Romney is a hateful guy," said Myers, chairman of his county's Republican Party.

Wings West
Wings West has some of the most sought after products in the industry. Certainly, no company grows from producing a handful of parts to over one hundred thousand in a year without strong customer demand. Of course, the real question is why are Wings West products red hot while others merely simmer?
Well, there is no one singular aspect, but rather many that creates such a demand for these styling products. It's said that imitation might be the sincerest form of flattery. It is thereby no surprise that counterfeit Wings West products have cropped up and stand testament to the demand for the products and the name.
As with many companies, Wings West was born from an actual desire to create products that they themselves personally wanted to have. Those feelings are still meshed with each part Wings West makes today.
Years of refinement have created superior parts resulting in a product return rate of less than one 1% of total sales. Fewer returns mean happier customers, vendors, retailers, and reduced headaches associated with this. In conjunction with producing superior parts from higher quality materials, technical one-on-one phone support can walk even the least mechanically inclined through an installation. Through the rigorous test fit procedures in the development stages, our parts fit without extensive modification by the installers.
Wings West might have been one of the best-kept secrets for enthusiasts many years ago, but is hardly a secret today. A tremendous amount of our products and show cars have graced countless magazine covers and have been in features from automotive publications to Fortune Magazine. As substantiation of our involvement in the tuner movement, Wings West project cars have been featured on television's highly visible programs such an "MTV and "CSI". The big screen isn't immune from the Wings West invasion either. Creating the excitement in the "The Fast and The Furious" (Part 1 & 2) was facilitated by generous applications of Wings West spoilers, wings, and body kits. Even America's favorite toy car company, Hot Wheels, has gotten into the game by reproducing numerous Wings West show cars in 1:18th scale.
There is no substitute for seeing the magic with your own eyes. At many of the auto events across the country and around the globe, Wings West is the tuner's choice. The repeated awards from auto shows could fill a room. Hundreds of applications over the years have been seen at the SEMA shows, the International Auto Salon (East & West), and Hot Import Nights, as well as numerous others.
Our commitment to providing the absolute highest quality accessories available and keeping our customers desires forefront has proven to be a winning combination.
When it comes to creative designs. No one else comes close. We are the ones that set the trends. We're the innovators.

Dear Lifehacker,
I just got a new phone, and I went to go download an app that I'd previously purchased, only to find that it was no longer available! I paid the developer good money, but it looks like they've taken the app down for some reason. So I can't install the app, and I can't get a refund. What can I do?
Buyer's Remorse
Dear Buyer's Remorse,
It really sucks when that happens. Sometimes even some of our favorite apps wind up vanishing from Google Play or the iTunes App Store because the company or developer behind them is acquired by a bigger company, just doesn't want to maintain the app anymore, or somehow runs afoul of Apple or Google and gets their app yanked.
Unfortunately, it's just a fact of life—one we have to get used to. However, that doesn't mean you don't have options. Let's talk about how you can make sure you at least get what you paid for.
Android Users
Backing up your apps in Android is pretty simple, so even if an app you've paid for and downloaded is pulled from Google Play, you can still grab it from your phone and install it on any future phones you may own. You obviously won't get bug fixes or updates since the app is now dead, so there's no guarantee that the app will work forever, but at least you'll always have the version you own available to you. Here are two ways to do it:
Back Up Your Entire Phone: Use an app like Titanium Backup (which requires root, but that's not difficult) to back up all of the apps on your phone, including the one you want to save. Consider making your phone backups automatic and simple, so you'll always have good, solid backups. Inside the Titanium Backup folder (either on your SD card or Dropbox, if you follow our guide) you'll see individual APKs for each app installed on your phone. Just select the one for the app you want on your new phone, and copy it to your new phone, either by emailing it to yourself, putting it in Dropbox and downloading it on the new phone, or copying it to the phone directly. Open the APK on the new phone, and you'll be able to install the app.
Back Up Your Entire Phone, then Pick and Choose What to Restore: One of my favorite backup methods is to use Titanium Backup to back up my entire device to Dropbox, like we mentioned. Then, I can install Titanium Backup on another device, point it at the Dropbox folder that Titanium Backup created on my original phone, and restore any app (or all apps) directly, no copying required. It's a little messier than just moving APKs around, but it works.
Back Up Just the App in Question: If you just want the specific app moved from one phone to the next, use a file explorer to create an APK from the app. (Our favorite is ES File Explorer, but Astro File Manager and File Expert work just as well.) Here's how:
Navigate directly to where your phone's apps are installed (/system/app for system apps and /data/app for user-installed apps.)
Copy the application file and paste it to your SD card, or share the app with Dropbox to copy it there.
Each app is still an APK, so if you download it to a phone that doesn't have the app installed, it'll prompt you to install it.
Alternatively, most file explorers allow you to view a list of installed apps, and create APKs from individual applications one at a time. The resulting APK is usually stored in your SD card, where it's easy to copy to Dropbox or email to yourself so you can get it on the new phone.
Ideally, using Titanium Backup is the way to go, since you have a backup of your entire phone and everything on it, but if you don't want to root—or you already have a file explorer installed and you just want that one application, it's probably faster to go that route instead. Once you have your app packaged back up as an APK, you can send it to the new phone using Dropbox or email like we mentioned, but we'd also suggest keeping a copy somewhere safe and backed up regularly just in case something happens to the phone you originally purchased the app on. That way you always have a copy ready.
iPhone and iPad Users
We've touched on this topic before, so know hope isn't lost. Apple can pull apps from the App Store whenever they choose. If you get a new device and add it to your Apple Account, apps that have since been removed from the app store may no longer install, and if they're no longer in the market, you may be out the money you spent on the app. Still, you have the app already on one iOS device, here's how to get it onto your computer, back it up, and then onto your new device:
Make Sure Your Device is Backed Up. First, your iPhone or iPad should be backed up either to iCloud or to iTunes on your computer. If it's not, plug it in and launch iTunes. When you see your device in the sidebar, right-click on it and choose "Transfer Purchases from..." (if you have the sidebar disabled, click File > Devices > Transfer Purchases from....) to get those apps off of your device and onto your computer.
Copy the App to a Safe Place for Future Installs. Once your purchases are transferred, visit the Apps tab in iTunes, find the app you want to back up, and right-click it. Select "Show in Explorer" (Windows) or "Show in Finder" (OS X) to reveal its file location. Then just copy the IPA file to Dropbox or any other location for safe keeping. When you're ready to install it again, sideload it. Just drag a copy back from that safe location back into the apps list in iTunes when your new device is connected. You'll need to log in to your Apple account, but once you do, iTunes will install the app on next sync.
If you keep regular iCloud backups of your device, you can always restore a new device as a copy of another device, or restore your current device back to a time when the app was still available, but you can't restore specific applications via iCloud, just entire system states.
Of course, many apps that get pulled down from the iTunes App Store appear in Cydia, so you could very well just jailbreak your iOS device and see if the app is available there instead. If you've purchased the app however, we'd suggest just backing it up first so you always have a copy.
Get a Refund
If an app has been pulled from Google Play or the iTunes Store after you've paid for it, you can always ask for a refund, either from the developer or from Apple or Google. None of those companies are specifically obligated to give you one, especially since you have the app already and can continue to use it even though you can't re-purchase it or re-download it, but Apple and Google have issued refunds for this reason in the past. It never hurts to ask.
We hope that helps you get a little extra life out of the apps you've paid for and downloaded, Buyer's Remorse! Remember, just because the app isn't in the App Store or Google Play anymore doesn't mean you can't continue to use it. As of right now at least, you purchased the app and it belongs to you—you didn't just buy a license to use an app that's revokable when the developer or Apple or Google wants to revoke it. They may change direction in the future, but right now there are ways around it, so enjoy!

The Diamondbacks had been hanging tight with the Dodgers for most of this game, even after Matt Kemp hit his third-inning, three-run HR to give the Dodgers a 3-1 lead. The Snakes scored one in the top of the fourth, so we scored two in the bottom to make it 5-2. They worked it back to 5-4 by the top of the sixth off of a shaky Blake Hawksworth (Lilly lasted only five innings but got the win), and the Dodgers brought it back to 6-4 by the end of the sixth. (Kemp had the Dodgers' first five RBI. His HR tonight gives him 25 HR and 27 SB on the year, making him the fifth fastest in the National League ever to go 25-25.)
And then Arizona RF Justin Upton came to the plate in the seventh, with Vin Scully remarking at how much difficulty he has had at Dodger Stadium. BOOM! Upton hits a solo HR, narrowing the lead to 6-5, and Scully has to eat some crow, right?
Except Upton couldn't escape the end of the seventh inning without two huge defensive gaffes: an error off a totally catchable Tony Gwynn fly ball that became a ground-rule double when Upton approached the catch cavalierly, with only one hand up; and then a Jamey Carroll fly ball to mid-right-field with the not-so-fleet-of-foot Dioner Navarro on third. Upton caught the Carroll sac fly flat-footed, then sailed a throw halfway between third and home (Navarro scored easily). One more run from a Rafael Furcal RBI double, and it was 9-5 and this game was over.
Scully took note to politely criticize Upton on both defensive plays, at one point qualifying one criticism with "You know, I've never played baseball, BUT...". And Vin was (of course), right; Upton deserved the heat. (Upton popped out to James Loney to end the game, as well.) Upton, grilled. You know, I'm in love with an Upton, grilled.
Alas, the days where Christie Brinkley was hot and Billy Joel was married to her.

PostgreSQL supports basic table partitioning. This section describes why and how to implement partitioning as part of your database design.
Partitioning refers to splitting what is logically one large table into smaller physical pieces. Partitioning can provide several benefits:
Query performance can be improved dramatically in certain situations, particularly when most of the heavily accessed rows of the table are in a single partition or a small number of partitions. The partitioning substitutes for leading columns of indexes, reducing index size and making it more likely that the heavily-used parts of the indexes fit in memory.
When queries or updates access a large percentage of a single partition, performance can be improved by taking advantage of sequential scan of that partition instead of using an index and random access reads scattered across the whole table.
Bulk loads and deletes can be accomplished by adding or removing partitions, if that requirement is planned into the partitioning design. ALTER TABLE NO INHERIT and DROP TABLE are both far faster than a bulk operation. These commands also entirely avoid the VACUUM overhead caused by a bulk DELETE.
Seldom-used data can be migrated to cheaper and slower storage media.
The benefits will normally be worthwhile only when a table would otherwise be very large. The exact point at which a table will benefit from partitioning depends on the application, although a rule of thumb is that the size of the table should exceed the physical memory of the database server.
Currently, PostgreSQL supports partitioning via table inheritance. Each partition must be created as a child table of a single parent table. The parent table itself is normally empty; it exists just to represent the entire data set. You should be familiar with inheritance (see Section 5.9) before attempting to set up partitioning.
The following forms of partitioning can be implemented in PostgreSQL:
The table is partitioned into "ranges" defined by a key column or set of columns, with no overlap between the ranges of values assigned to different partitions. For example one might partition by date ranges, or by ranges of identifiers for particular business objects.
The table is partitioned by explicitly listing which key values appear in each partition.
To set up a partitioned table, do the following:
Create the "master" table, from which all of the partitions will inherit.
This table will contain no data. Do not define any check constraints on this table, unless you intend them to be applied equally to all partitions. There is no point in defining any indexes or unique constraints on it, either.
Create several "child" tables that each inherit from the master table. Normally, these tables will not add any columns to the set inherited from the master.
We will refer to the child tables as partitions, though they are in every way normal PostgreSQL tables (or, possibly, foreign tables).
Add table constraints to the partition tables to define the allowed key values in each partition.
Typical examples would be:
CHECK ( x = 1 ) CHECK ( county IN ( 'Oxfordshire', 'Buckinghamshire', 'Warwickshire' )) CHECK ( outletID >= 100 AND outletID < 200 )
Ensure that the constraints guarantee that there is no overlap between the key values permitted in different partitions. A common mistake is to set up range constraints like:
CHECK ( outletID BETWEEN 100 AND 200 ) CHECK ( outletID BETWEEN 200 AND 300 )
This is wrong since it is not clear which partition the key value 200 belongs in.
Note that there is no difference in syntax between range and list partitioning; those terms are descriptive only.
For each partition, create an index on the key column(s), as well as any other indexes you might want. (The key index is not strictly necessary, but in most scenarios it is helpful. If you intend the key values to be unique then you should always create a unique or primary-key constraint for each partition.)
Optionally, define a trigger or rule to redirect data inserted into the master table to the appropriate partition.
Ensure that the constraint_exclusion configuration parameter is not disabled in postgresql.conf. If it is, queries will not be optimized as desired.
For example, suppose we are constructing a database for a large ice cream company. The company measures peak temperatures every day as well as ice cream sales in each region. Conceptually, we want a table like:
CREATE TABLE measurement ( city_id int not null, logdate date not null, peaktemp int, unitsales int );
We know that most queries will access just the last week's, month's or quarter's data, since the main use of this table will be to prepare online reports for management. To reduce the amount of old data that needs to be stored, we decide to only keep the most recent 3 years worth of data. At the beginning of each month we will remove the oldest month's data.
In this situation we can use partitioning to help us meet all of our different requirements for the measurements table. Following the steps outlined above, partitioning can be set up as follows:
The master table is the measurement table, declared exactly as above.
Next we create one partition for each active month:
CREATE TABLE measurement_y2006m02 ( ) INHERITS (measurement); CREATE TABLE measurement_y2006m03 ( ) INHERITS (measurement); ... CREATE TABLE measurement_y2007m11 ( ) INHERITS (measurement); CREATE TABLE measurement_y2007m12 ( ) INHERITS (measurement); CREATE TABLE measurement_y2008m01 ( ) INHERITS (measurement);
Each of the partitions are complete tables in their own right, but they inherit their definitions from the measurement table.
This solves one of our problems: deleting old data. Each month, all we will need to do is perform a DROP TABLE on the oldest child table and create a new child table for the new month's data.
We must provide non-overlapping table constraints. Rather than just creating the partition tables as above, the table creation script should really be:
CREATE TABLE measurement_y2006m02 ( CHECK ( logdate >= DATE '2006-02-01' AND logdate < DATE '2006-03-01' ) ) INHERITS (measurement); CREATE TABLE measurement_y2006m03 ( CHECK ( logdate >= DATE '2006-03-01' AND logdate < DATE '2006-04-01' ) ) INHERITS (measurement); ... CREATE TABLE measurement_y2007m11 ( CHECK ( logdate >= DATE '2007-11-01' AND logdate < DATE '2007-12-01' ) ) INHERITS (measurement); CREATE TABLE measurement_y2007m12 ( CHECK ( logdate >= DATE '2007-12-01' AND logdate < DATE '2008-01-01' ) ) INHERITS (measurement); CREATE TABLE measurement_y2008m01 ( CHECK ( logdate >= DATE '2008-01-01' AND logdate < DATE '2008-02-01' ) ) INHERITS (measurement);
We probably need indexes on the key columns too:
CREATE INDEX measurement_y2006m02_logdate ON measurement_y2006m02 (logdate); CREATE INDEX measurement_y2006m03_logdate ON measurement_y2006m03 (logdate); ... CREATE INDEX measurement_y2007m11_logdate ON measurement_y2007m11 (logdate); CREATE INDEX measurement_y2007m12_logdate ON measurement_y2007m12 (logdate); CREATE INDEX measurement_y2008m01_logdate ON measurement_y2008m01 (logdate);
We choose not to add further indexes at this time.
We want our application to be able to say INSERT INTO measurement ... and have the data be redirected into the appropriate partition table. We can arrange that by attaching a suitable trigger function to the master table. If data will be added only to the latest partition, we can use a very simple trigger function:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION measurement_insert_trigger() RETURNS TRIGGER AS $$ BEGIN INSERT INTO measurement_y2008m01 VALUES (NEW.*); RETURN NULL; END; $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
After creating the function, we create a trigger which calls the trigger function:
CREATE TRIGGER insert_measurement_trigger BEFORE INSERT ON measurement FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE measurement_insert_trigger();
We must redefine the trigger function each month so that it always points to the current partition. The trigger definition does not need to be updated, however.
We might want to insert data and have the server automatically locate the partition into which the row should be added. We could do this with a more complex trigger function, for example:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION measurement_insert_trigger() RETURNS TRIGGER AS $$ BEGIN IF ( NEW.logdate >= DATE '2006-02-01' AND NEW.logdate < DATE '2006-03-01' ) THEN INSERT INTO measurement_y2006m02 VALUES (NEW.*); ELSIF ( NEW.logdate >= DATE '2006-03-01' AND NEW.logdate < DATE '2006-04-01' ) THEN INSERT INTO measurement_y2006m03 VALUES (NEW.*); ... ELSIF ( NEW.logdate >= DATE '2008-01-01' AND NEW.logdate < DATE '2008-02-01' ) THEN INSERT INTO measurement_y2008m01 VALUES (NEW.*); ELSE RAISE EXCEPTION 'Date out of range. Fix the measurement_insert_trigger() function!'; END IF; RETURN NULL; END; $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
The trigger definition is the same as before. Note that each IF test must exactly match the CHECK constraint for its partition.
While this function is more complex than the single-month case, it doesn't need to be updated as often, since branches can be added in advance of being needed.
Note: In practice it might be best to check the newest partition first, if most inserts go into that partition. For simplicity we have shown the trigger's tests in the same order as in other parts of this example.
As we can see, a complex partitioning scheme could require a substantial amount of DDL. In the above example we would be creating a new partition each month, so it might be wise to write a script that generates the required DDL automatically.
Normally the set of partitions established when initially defining the table are not intended to remain static. It is common to want to remove old partitions of data and periodically add new partitions for new data. One of the most important advantages of partitioning is precisely that it allows this otherwise painful task to be executed nearly instantaneously by manipulating the partition structure, rather than physically moving large amounts of data around.
The simplest option for removing old data is simply to drop the partition that is no longer necessary:
DROP TABLE measurement_y2006m02;
This can very quickly delete millions of records because it doesn't have to individually delete every record.
Another option that is often preferable is to remove the partition from the partitioned table but retain access to it as a table in its own right:
ALTER TABLE measurement_y2006m02 NO INHERIT measurement;
This allows further operations to be performed on the data before it is dropped. For example, this is often a useful time to back up the data using COPY, pg_dump, or similar tools. It might also be a useful time to aggregate data into smaller formats, perform other data manipulations, or run reports.
Similarly we can add a new partition to handle new data. We can create an empty partition in the partitioned table just as the original partitions were created above:
CREATE TABLE measurement_y2008m02 ( CHECK ( logdate >= DATE '2008-02-01' AND logdate < DATE '2008-03-01' ) ) INHERITS (measurement);
As an alternative, it is sometimes more convenient to create the new table outside the partition structure, and make it a proper partition later. This allows the data to be loaded, checked, and transformed prior to it appearing in the partitioned table:
CREATE TABLE measurement_y2008m02 (LIKE measurement INCLUDING DEFAULTS INCLUDING CONSTRAINTS); ALTER TABLE measurement_y2008m02 ADD CONSTRAINT y2008m02 CHECK ( logdate >= DATE '2008-02-01' AND logdate < DATE '2008-03-01' ); \copy measurement_y2008m02 from 'measurement_y2008m02' -- possibly some other data preparation work ALTER TABLE measurement_y2008m02 INHERIT measurement;
Constraint exclusion is a query optimization technique that improves performance for partitioned tables defined in the fashion described above. As an example:
SET constraint_exclusion = on; SELECT count(*) FROM measurement WHERE logdate >= DATE '2008-01-01';
Without constraint exclusion, the above query would scan each of the partitions of the measurement table. With constraint exclusion enabled, the planner will examine the constraints of each partition and try to prove that the partition need not be scanned because it could not contain any rows meeting the query's WHERE clause. When the planner can prove this, it excludes the partition from the query plan.
You can use the EXPLAIN command to show the difference between a plan with constraint_exclusion on and a plan with it off. A typical unoptimized plan for this type of table setup is:
SET constraint_exclusion = off; EXPLAIN SELECT count(*) FROM measurement WHERE logdate >= DATE '2008-01-01'; QUERY PLAN ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate (cost=158.66..158.68 rows=1 width=0) -> Append (cost=0.00..151.88 rows=2715 width=0) -> Seq Scan on measurement (cost=0.00..30.38 rows=543 width=0) Filter: (logdate >= '2008-01-01'::date) -> Seq Scan on measurement_y2006m02 measurement (cost=0.00..30.38 rows=543 width=0) Filter: (logdate >= '2008-01-01'::date) -> Seq Scan on measurement_y2006m03 measurement (cost=0.00..30.38 rows=543 width=0) Filter: (logdate >= '2008-01-01'::date) ... -> Seq Scan on measurement_y2007m12 measurement (cost=0.00..30.38 rows=543 width=0) Filter: (logdate >= '2008-01-01'::date) -> Seq Scan on measurement_y2008m01 measurement (cost=0.00..30.38 rows=543 width=0) Filter: (logdate >= '2008-01-01'::date)
Some or all of the partitions might use index scans instead of full-table sequential scans, but the point here is that there is no need to scan the older partitions at all to answer this query. When we enable constraint exclusion, we get a significantly cheaper plan that will deliver the same answer:
SET constraint_exclusion = on; EXPLAIN SELECT count(*) FROM measurement WHERE logdate >= DATE '2008-01-01'; QUERY PLAN ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate (cost=63.47..63.48 rows=1 width=0) -> Append (cost=0.00..60.75 rows=1086 width=0) -> Seq Scan on measurement (cost=0.00..30.38 rows=543 width=0) Filter: (logdate >= '2008-01-01'::date) -> Seq Scan on measurement_y2008m01 measurement (cost=0.00..30.38 rows=543 width=0) Filter: (logdate >= '2008-01-01'::date)
Note that constraint exclusion is driven only by CHECK constraints, not by the presence of indexes. Therefore it isn't necessary to define indexes on the key columns. Whether an index needs to be created for a given partition depends on whether you expect that queries that scan the partition will generally scan a large part of the partition or just a small part. An index will be helpful in the latter case but not the former.
The default (and recommended) setting of constraint_exclusion is actually neither on nor off, but an intermediate setting called partition, which causes the technique to be applied only to queries that are likely to be working on partitioned tables. The on setting causes the planner to examine CHECK constraints in all queries, even simple ones that are unlikely to benefit.
A different approach to redirecting inserts into the appropriate partition table is to set up rules, instead of a trigger, on the master table. For example:
CREATE RULE measurement_insert_y2006m02 AS ON INSERT TO measurement WHERE ( logdate >= DATE '2006-02-01' AND logdate < DATE '2006-03-01' ) DO INSTEAD INSERT INTO measurement_y2006m02 VALUES (NEW.*); ... CREATE RULE measurement_insert_y2008m01 AS ON INSERT TO measurement WHERE ( logdate >= DATE '2008-01-01' AND logdate < DATE '2008-02-01' ) DO INSTEAD INSERT INTO measurement_y2008m01 VALUES (NEW.*);
A rule has significantly more overhead than a trigger, but the overhead is paid once per query rather than once per row, so this method might be advantageous for bulk-insert situations. In most cases, however, the trigger method will offer better performance.
Be aware that COPY ignores rules. If you want to use COPY to insert data, you'll need to copy into the correct partition table rather than into the master. COPY does fire triggers, so you can use it normally if you use the trigger approach.
Another disadvantage of the rule approach is that there is no simple way to force an error if the set of rules doesn't cover the insertion date; the data will silently go into the master table instead.
Partitioning can also be arranged using a UNION ALL view, instead of table inheritance. For example,
CREATE VIEW measurement AS SELECT * FROM measurement_y2006m02 UNION ALL SELECT * FROM measurement_y2006m03 ... UNION ALL SELECT * FROM measurement_y2007m11 UNION ALL SELECT * FROM measurement_y2007m12 UNION ALL SELECT * FROM measurement_y2008m01;
However, the need to recreate the view adds an extra step to adding and dropping individual partitions of the data set. In practice this method has little to recommend it compared to using inheritance.
The following caveats apply to partitioned tables:
There is no automatic way to verify that all of the CHECK constraints are mutually exclusive. It is safer to create code that generates partitions and creates and/or modifies associated objects than to write each by hand.
The schemes shown here assume that the partition key column(s) of a row never change, or at least do not change enough to require it to move to another partition. An UPDATE that attempts to do that will fail because of the CHECK constraints. If you need to handle such cases, you can put suitable update triggers on the partition tables, but it makes management of the structure much more complicated.
If you are using manual VACUUM or ANALYZE commands, don't forget that you need to run them on each partition individually. A command like:
ANALYZE measurement;
will only process the master table.
INSERT statements with ON CONFLICT clauses are unlikely to work as expected, as the ON CONFLICT action is only taken in case of unique violations on the specified target relation, not its child relations.
The following caveats apply to constraint exclusion:
Constraint exclusion only works when the query's WHERE clause contains constants (or externally supplied parameters). For example, a comparison against a non-immutable function such as CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
cannot be optimized, since the planner cannot know which partition the function value might fall into at run time.
Keep the partitioning constraints simple, else the planner may not be able to prove that partitions don't need to be visited. Use simple equality conditions for list partitioning, or simple range tests for range partitioning, as illustrated in the preceding examples. A good rule of thumb is that partitioning constraints should contain only comparisons of the partitioning column(s) to constants using B-tree-indexable operators.
All constraints on all partitions of the master table are examined during constraint exclusion, so large numbers of partitions are likely to increase query planning time considerably. Partitioning using these techniques will work well with up to perhaps a hundred partitions; don't try to use many thousands of partitions.

Here's a measure of Maryland's Democratic tilt: Even an epic failure in launching the state's health care website isn't enough to derail the political fortunes of the official responsible for it. The Affordable Care Act is that popular.
Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown, who was assigned by Democratic Gov. Martin O'Malley in 2010 to oversee the health care law's rollout in Maryland, remains the Democratic front-runner in the June 24 primary. His still-formidable standing is a testament to his political talent, but also to his chief rival's tendency for self-inflicted damage.
Doug Gansler, Maryland's attorney general, has made Brown's alleged managerial incompetence a central theme of his campaign. To further his point about Brown's managerial chops, Gansler earlier this week did something rare in American politics — he trivialized a veteran's military service.
Brown, an Army Reserve colonel and Harvard Law grad, did a tour in Iraq in the Judge Advocate General's Corps.
"I'm running against somebody who has never managed anybody, never run anything," Gansler said at a candidate forum earlier in the week before a group of high-tech executives. "His ads are about how he's a lawyer in Iraq, and that's all fine and good, but this is a real job."
Cue the outrage from veterans.
At a candidates' forum Wednesday evening in Takoma Park, Md., just outside Washington, D.C., Gansler tried to extricate himself from the controversy. "Like everybody in this room I have the deepest respect for all of our veterans and the utmost respect for all of our veterans. ...
"My issue was leadership," Gansler continued. "To be governor, you have a chance to be a leader. And I was questioning the lieutenant governor's leadership in Annapolis because for the first seven years in Annapolis as lieutenant governor he wasn't involved in things and didn't have a role and really didn't do a lot. Then he said, 'I'm in charge of the Affordable Care Act rollout,' " which turned out to be a disaster.
When Brown took his turn on the stage at the forum, he demonstrated why smart politicians never, ever, say anything that remotely resembles criticism of an opponent's military service.
"One of the most difficult nights of my life was telling my 9-year-old daughter and my 4-year-old son that their dad would be spending a year with the Army in the desert," Brown said.
"I went because of the professionalism and courage of the men and women of the 3rd Infantry Division in Baghdad, the same unit I served with 20 years earlier on active duty. I made it back home to my family and the country that we all love."
Cue the patriotic music.
For what it was worth, Brown accepted responsibility for the website failure. "Everyone involved in establishing the health benefits exchange has a responsibility and that includes me," Brown said.
Also noteworthy: Maryland is one of two states where Democrats running in primaries for governor are using the ACA to try to score political points against other Democrats. It's also occurring in neighboring Pennsylvania.
It's one thing for Republicans to campaign against Democrats using ACA as a weapon. It's an entirely different thing when Democrats do it.
Gansler's dismissive comment about Brown was clearly a major failure — but perhaps not his most important one.
He has also clearly failed, so far at least, to get Maryland Democratic voters to care much about Brown's mismanagement of the health exchange website's launch.
Like its federal counterpart, the Maryland site crashed last fall at the start of open enrollment, delaying the ability of many Marylanders to sign up. It's estimated the state will have spent at least $130 million on the flawed site and its replacement by time it's all over, according to a recent report.
Brown, who hopes to become the state's first African-American governor, has a healthy lead in the polls despite the health care exchange misfire.
A poll conducted in early April by St. Mary's College of Maryland put Brown's support at 27 percent of Democratic voters, Gansler at 11 percent and state Del. Heather Mizeur at 8 percent.
The contest clearly hasn't engaged most Maryland Democrats, however. A majority of them, 54 percent, were undecided. That's not for lack of trying on the Democratic establishment's part. Brown has been endorsed by everyone from former President Bill Clinton, who is scheduled to do a fundraiser in a few weeks for Brown, to O'Malley.
Several voters at the forum told It's All Politics thatbecause Maryland is such a strong Democratic state, the botched website isn't as damaging to Brown as it might have been elsewhere.
"Maryland did a good job of embarrassing itself but I don't hold one person responsible for that," said Judith Johnson, a retired mental health center director who attended the candidates' forum. She was one of those Brown-leaning Democrats. "I like his style, his calmness. And I like the administration we've had."

Quaife's range of Clubman and heavy duty H-pattern synchromesh gearboxes retain the standard synchromesh engagement parts from the original gearboxes, and offer optimised gear ratios for motorsport to make the most of the power and torque from the engine in any given gear.
Dog Engagement:
These are the next progression from a synchromesh gearbox, and are for those looking to decrease the time spent shifting gear by removing the necessity of operating the clutch for each gear change. Many of these dog boxes still use the same ratios as the synchromesh boxes.
The ability to shift gear without using the clutch reduces the time spent off the power and allows drivers to get back on the power sooner, resulting in faster overall race times.
Shifting with a dog box is different to a synchro box in that gear changes need to be fast and positive rather than slow and smooth.
For those looking for the ultimate in fast gear changes, our range of sequential gearboxes is the logical progression from H-pattern gearboxes, offering ultra-fast gear changes through use of Quaife's proven drum change technology.
These sequential gearboxes are fully compatible with flat-shift ignition cut systems to allow full throttle gear changes, so unlike an H-pattern dog box, where lifting off the throttle is required, gear changes can be made with no noticeable interruption to power delivery.

It's finally happening, folks. This year, the average time Americans spend with digital media each day will surpass traditional TV viewing time. That's according to eMarketer's latest estimate of media consumption among adults.
The average adult will spend more than five hours per day online and on non-voice mobile activities (read: texting, apps, games). That's compared to an average four hours and 31 minutes each day of TV watching.
Daily TV time will actually be down slightly this year, while digital media consumption will be up nearly 16 percent. If you were curious, Netflix and Hulu viewing is considered digital media consumption, so all that binge watching of Mad Men on Netflix is clearly pumping up the digital media averages. But that doesn't mean traditional TV is dead, as CNET points out:
" 'It's the second report this week indicating that while people are turning more to digital media options, they aren't necessarily turning away from the traditional means of watching TV and movies. A study Monday from TiVo Research and Analytics found that households that subscribe to Netflix watch basically the same amount of traditional television as non-Netflix households." 'The studies shore up what pay-TV providers have been insisting, that the phenomenon of cord cutting is at the fringes. Cord cutters are those who forsake traditional pay television for Internet video services. While the trend is growing — Nielsen earlier this year found 'Zero TV' households have more than doubled since 2007 — cord cutting still only represented about 5 percent of the U.S. population in that analysis."
Facebook attracts more 18- to 24-year-olds during prime-time viewing hours than any of four major television networks, according to a Nielsen study commissioned by Facebook and cited by Bloomberg News.
Mobile and tablet viewing is the most significant area for growth. eMarketer estimates adults spend an average of 2 hours 21 minutes each day on mobile and tablet devices doing non-phone-calling activities — that's almost an hour more than they spent on mobile last year.

One of Pakistan's most exciting and engaging artists opened her new show, Karachi Series, at Green Cardamom.
Bani Abidi (b. 1971) is one of the leading figures from a generation of Pakistani artists, such as Shahzia Sikander, Asma Mundrawala and Ambreen Butt, who all trained during the 1990s and began exploring the paradoxes of social contradictions through their artistic practice. Abidi's profound social observations have been informed through her experiences living in Pakistan, the United States and India. Although a much quieter artist commercially, Abidi's precise and complex social commentary has seen her work gain significant critical acclaim over the past few years, with the curator of the Museum of Modern Art in New York even describing her work as "the best thing of 2008." Her videos, photographic works and drawings use elements of performance and orchestration to explore the processes of political history as in The Ghost of Muhammad Bin Qasim (2006), popular imagination and identity formation. Abidi is most certainly an artist to keep an eye on, but not only that; her work tackles the most relevant themes of today.
Opening this February at Green Cardamom in London, Abidi will present two new works: Karachi Series 1 (2009), a photographic investigation into, and a lament for the loss of Pakistan's diverse cultural character in the face of the Islamisation of the nation that began in the 1980s. This work was shown for the first time at the recent 10th Lyon Biennale curated by Hou Hanru. The second work, Intercommunication Devices (2009) is a set of digital drawings, where Abidi uses the idea of assembling a visual archive to explore prohibited spaces, or what Itty Abraham refers to as "Security aesthetics." Intercommunication Devices investigates the meeting point where power and privilege meet the disempowered and excluded. This work follows closely on from her much acclaimed Security Barriers AL (2008), another example of the artist's engagement with exclusionary architecture and spatial controls, also exhibited at the 10th Lyon Biennale.
Karachi Series 1 consists of a series of six photographs on light boxes, all featuring a central character involved in a seemingly mundane, domestic activity in the middle of a deserted street at sunset. The light, the postures of the figures and the ease of their activities create a gentle and shared melancholy in each scene. The images, and by extension the protagonists, are clearly part of a larger universal narrative. The accompanying titles list names, times and places that bring to the forefront the common circumstances of their creation. The photographs are all taken in Karachi in the last 10 days of August 2008; all at roughly 7:45pm; and the names of the individuals suggest that they are part of the non-Muslim minorities of Pakistan – Christian, Parsi and Hindu. Karachi Series 1 is an exploration of the place of religious minorities in a public environment not known for its acceptance of difference. During the month of Ramadan (in August at roughly 7:45pm) at sunset, the time when Muslims break their fast, the streets of Karachi are deserted. By venturing into the street and performing everyday tasks in public, Abidi's non-Muslim subjects reclaim a time and a place where their status as equal citizens in metropolitan Karachi is not contested.
Intercommunication Devices records the range of intercoms found on the front gates on a street in the Defence Housing Authority, a perceptibly wealthy area in Karachi. They consider the notion of "intercommunication" between the private space of an "upper-class" household and the public space of the street. The clean, almost sales catalogue-like treatment of Abidi's digital drawings, faithful in every detail to the objects they describe, without providing any visual information about the surroundings from which they are extracted, is both intriguing and disarming. Reduced to their pure form, in the style of a technical drawing, they are performative, inviting a closer scrutiny of their function as objects. Abidi raises a series of critically relevant questions: what do systems of control do? What social environment requires the systematic exclusion of violent threat? Are these divisions of class and power really so binary? Perhaps it is more interesting to read the spaces she creates as signifying multiple points at which the possibility of transgression exists, where barriers can be crossed and communication is made possible.
Bani Abidi in conversation with Francesco Cincotta:
Bani what were your early projects like, those you did when you were in school in Lahore or immediately afterwards, and how did they evolve?
I was studying painting and printmaking at the NCA (National College of Arts in Lahore) and it was a lot about mark making and exploring various media and material processes, in the guise of "abstraction" – the easiest trope to use if you didn't know what you were doing. That was also the kind of semi-abstract painterly work our teachers were doing at the time. NCA was more of a turning point in my life in terms of my socialisation and less so in my understanding of art making. But at the same time as I was studying in Lahore, friends of mine had joined the then newly established Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture in Karachi, and there was a crew of really interesting teachers there; David Alesworth, Durriya Kazi, Iftikhar and Elizabeth Dadi, who were a great source of inspiration for all of us at that time. They were working with the language of popular visual culture in Karachi which was very exciting, because regardless of what manifestations it took up in our own work, their ideas made us value the narratives of contemporary life for the first time. In a country where art, for the most part, held onto notions of pre-colonial traditionalism, or was a negotiation with modernism, there was something very honest and radical about this thinking. I think my generation of artists owes a lot to them.
What were your interests when you began your studies in Chicago? And how were you influenced while studying in that city and in the United States?
The moment I reached the US, I started unpacking ideas of colonisation, almost like a rite of passage. I was particularly interested in notions of décor and architecture and what people in Pakistan considered sophisticated: I painted diagrammatic drawings of Victorian furniture on the walls of my studio and I would make paper models of faux Greco Roman/Baroque architecture, which was the trend in Karachi when it came to displays of wealth amongst the nouveau riche. Inversely, by the end of my studies I had become very aware of the exoticism in the US of all things Asian, not the least of which was a growing interest in contemporary miniature painting. My final work at school in the US was a sculptural installation that was a DIY traditional Mughal garden.
What and who do you consider to have been the major influences in the directions you have chosen?
I think my initial inspiration to start working with the moving image was very much an outcome of being in Chicago. I owe it to the Film Center at the Art Institute. Had it not been for the $2 student entry fee, I wouldn't have had a chance to watch the amount of cinema that I did. And although even today I have no desire to make feature films, or enter mainstream cinema, it is film that continues to excite me. The element of absurdity, for instance, in the work of directors like Jacques Tati, Elia Suleiman and Abbas Kiarostami, really made me think about the place of humour in socio-political narratives. One of my favourite films is the documentary by Kiarostami called Homework (1989), which is a talking heads interview with six year-old boys in Tehran discussing the homework that they get from school. This is what I call a superb example of skirting around an issue, in this case the effects of an authoritarian system.
Did you start working with still photography and video at the same time? Do you see yourself as an artist who can pick and choose media?
I have actually only now started working in photography, after seven years of making videos. I see it as an extension of video making, and use similar production methods. I don't see myself as an artist who will experiment with everything, just video, photography and maybe drawing, which in my work are all usually connected to each other conceptually.
Let's look more closely at your work. When did you begin to focus on political issues? Or would you describe your work as a focus on cultural issues in a broader sense?
It started with my first video Mangoes (1999), made while I was living in Chicago. This is one of a trilogy of videos that I made, dealing with the relationship between Indians and Pakistanis. The petty nationalisms of the Pakistani and Indian diaspora in Chicago, plus my own encounters with Indians made me consider the politics of Partition for the first time. Not many of my works deal in any direct way with specific political situations, they mostly hover around constructions of history and identity. One exception is the video work, Shan Pipe Band Learns the Star Spangled Banner. I made this in 2004, a year after I returned from the US to live in Pakistan, which was also a year after the invasion of Iraq. It was a time of great fear and anger amidst people in Pakistan, a country that had been spared being attacked itself because of a last minute political agreement, but now we were allies in the "war against terror". I have often wondered just how independent a country Pakistan is given its historical employment in international affairs. I thought it would make for an interesting moment if I were to commission a brass music band (itself a colonial remnant from the British Raj) to learn how to play the American anthem. The video is a straightforward documentation of that process. More recently my thinking has been about universal ideas of power and servility in human society, and that is where pieces like Reserved (2006) and The Address (2007) came from.
It once seemed to me that political or cultural tension in a society was a strong force that could motivate, or set-up an atmosphere in which artistic work thrived. It was true in the West for a short time in the sixties or seventies, but somehow these elements, these tensions, no longer provide the same energy or motivation. I think these elements still provide a lot of energy in societies that are in transition, like countries in Eastern Europe. You see it in a lot of Middle Eastern and Chinese art also, for instance. There is not much to be complacent about in these places, people are only beginning to articulate their lives and there is a lot more to come. It is another matter that, unlike the art of the sixties and seventies, everything has now been co-opted by the art market.
As an artist trained both in the US and Pakistan how do you position your work? Are you, as an artist, concerned mainly with the issues of South Asia and its aesthetics, or do you see yourself as an international artist able to pick and develop projects wherever and whenever they occur?
Well I find life in certain parts of the world far more interesting than in others. So I am picky about what I work with. Most of my work does draw from my life here (India and Pakistan), and then by extension I think of projects I would like to do elsewhere. For instance, I have been working on a photo and video project that is based on Ryszard Kapuszinski's book about the court of Ethiopia's Haile Selassie. I found a lot of resonance in it, regardless of the fact that it is someone else's history and I am thrilled about working with it. As far as "South Asian" aesthetics go, it's impossible to say whether such a thing exists today, so no, I don't subscribe to them.
Abidi's work was also included in the Where Three Dreams Cross – 150 years of Photography from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh at London's Whitechapel Gallery. As part of the exhibition's events there was an artist's talk with Bani Abidi on 21 February 2010 at Whitechapel, www.whitechapelgallery.org.
Bani Abidi, Karachi opened on 26 February – 9 April 2010 at Green Cardamom, London. www.greencardamom.net.

Mango Salsa
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Before getting to today's recipe, I wanted to let you know about an article in Gourmet Live that lists the 50 most important women in food. The list is fairly comprehensive and contains some entries and omissions that might surprise you. At the very least, it will give you something to talk about with other foodies and friends. Over the course of the next year, I'm going to try to make one dish created by each of the women on the list. If you'd like to join in the fun, email me and we can formalize a schedule. Otherwise, I'll aim to publish one recipe each Friday starting the second week in June. I hope to hear from you.
The hail was a bit much, but other than that we've had a great day. The fajitas and tacos were both well-received and everyone loved the mango salsa I'm featuring here tonight. This simple condiment is a feature of Mexican, Asian and Indian cuisine. This version has a decidedly Mexican bent and, like yesterday's pico de gallo, a recipe is needed only to list the ingredients required to make it. Once they are assembled the dish becomes a chop, combine and chill affair that can be tailored to your liking. I do hope you will give it a try. Here's the recipe.
Mango Salsa...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
1-1/2 cups diced mango
3 tablespoons finely chopped jalapeno pepper
3 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
2 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon lime juice
Combine all ingredients in a storage container. Cover and chill for up to 3 days. Yield 2 cups.

I love salsa like these, it is common in Philippines but we use the semi ripe mangoes so theres a hint of sourness and sweetness to it. We do pair it with grilled meats and they are a perfect pair!

For some reason I'm unable to view your v
photograph, which is a shame as I always enjoy your excellent photography. Mango Salsa is delicious - I don't make it often as mango's aren't always easy to come by, but I have made it a few times. Fresh mango chutney too which is also good. - May 29, 2011 at 10:25 AM

I love mango salsa. I first experienced it while I was a white water rafting guide in Northern California. A loca B&B gave us a recipe. As everyone has indicated it sounds like the perfect addition to a Memorial Day BBQ (even though it is hailing 2 inches, in the Tehachapi Mtns)

I love the idea of the spice from the jalapeno mixed with the sweetness from the mango. It sounds really balanced.

- Claudia said...
The mango truly is the star of this salsa - with enough spice to be sweet with a bite. It goes with all - and when the meal is done, the family laps up whatever salsa is left. I love what you are doing and am interested but have never been able to keep to a blogging schedule. I always mean to... but the freelancing changes every month. And I must look up the women in food. Yay to celebrating women in food!

Curious list from Gourmet Live...I'm not sure I agree and I positively think there are a few inclusions and omissions that need reconsideration.
Kudos to you Mary for taking on the list. It should be quite interesting, and tasty too!!!
You have finally convinced me to reconsider the Mango. Your salsa is worthy of a try, it sure looks "purty."
Thanks for sharing Mary... - May 29, 2011 at 11:46 PM
