He will debut a song from his forthcoming album, "Authentic," due in May.
LL Cool J spent the night before the Grammy Awards sipping Hennessy with some of his famous friends.
The 45-year-old rapper-actor and returning Grammy host was the guest of honor Saturday at a private dinner sponsored by the liquor brand. Celebrities such as Mark Cuban, Michael Bolton, Neil Patrick Harris, Mark Burnett, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Gene Simmons were among those who raised a glass when LL Cool J proposed a toast to "success in every form."
"All kinds of wealth. Not just money, but the wealth of wisdom, the wealth of happiness, the wealth of joy, the wealth of love. That's why we're here," he said at the intimate gathering at the Bazaar by Jose Andres at the SLS Hotel, where the menu featured cocktails frozen with liquid nitrogen and 14 different dishes. "We want to have a good time, we want to enjoy ourselves, and we want to have some fun tomorrow as we celebrate music."
LL Cool J is set to host the 55th annual Grammy Awards Sunday at Staples Center. He'll also perform on the show, debuting a song from his forthcoming album, "Authentic," due in May. He'll be joined on stage by Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello, Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker, DJ Z-Trip and Chuck D of Public Enemy, who also appear on the album.
The album, his first in five years, is taking him in new directions musically.
"It doesn't sound like I'm playing catch-up with what's going on now. It doesn't sound like I'm trying to do whatever it is that one would think hip-hop is doing now. It's just me being LL," he said. "I made an LL Cool J album. There's no limits. The governor's off. I'm going to experiment. I'm going to work with different people — people you would expect, people you wouldn't expect — and just do some great stuff, hopefully."
He released his first album, "Radio," in 1985 when he was still a teenager, never envisioning a path that would take him to the Grammy stage.
"When my first records came out, they weren't even eligible for a Grammy. That's how far the Grammys have come," he said. "The first decade of my career, or maybe even more, rap wasn't really seriously a contender in the Grammys. At a certain point we got a category, but that was just kind of up in the air, it wasn't televised, etc. So this is amazing for me."

One of the many films that premiered at this year's Sundance Film Festival was director Colin Trevorrow's Safety Not Guaranteed. Written by Derek Connolly, the film's about "a trio of magazine employees investigate a classified ad seeking a partner for time travel. One employee develops feelings for the paranoid but compelling loner and seeks to discover what he's really up to." It's based on a real ad that was passed around the internet in 2005 and it stars Aubrey Plaza, Mark Duplass, Jake Johnson and Karan Soni. Shortly after premiering, FilmDistrict bought the film, so you can look forward to seeing it at some point in the future. For more on the film, you can read Matt's review.
After seeing the film, I got to sit down with Jake Johnson for an extended interview. While Johnson has been working steadily over the past few years on TV and in the movies, with the success of FOX's hit show New Girl (he plays one of Zooey Deschanel's roommates), his career has definitely taken a big leap forward. During the interview we talked about making Safety Not Guaranteed and how he got cast, what's coming up on New Girl (some of the roommates are going to start hooking up with each other), how Deschanel got him on Twitter, playing Jesus in A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas, 21 Jump Street (he plays the principal), and a lot more. Hit the jump to watch.
As usual, I've time indexed the interview so you can watch the parts that interest you.
Jake Johnson Time Index
- :02 Says how he was talked into joining Twitter by his New Girl cast members, and then he became addicted to it.
- 2:16 Talks about what it's like to be on a ridiculously popular show. Tells a funny story about people asking him to take a picture of Michael Cera when he came to Sundance for Paper Heart.
- 4:30 How'd he get involved with Safety Not Guaranteed? Says he's known the director for a long time and they used to make YouTube shorts together.
- 5:49 How soon when he's reading a script does he know that he wants the part? Says he has to finish the script first, but he knows after the first 20 pages or so whether or not he'll respond to the material.
- 7:24 Briefly describes the plot of the movie.
- 9:06 How much did the script change from when he first got it to the finished film? Says it changed quite a bit, but it's all on the screen. The director saw Johnson's character as a guy who did cocaine but Johnson saw the character as a guy who's more of a hippie, so they talked about the character and changed it up a bit.
- 10:22 Talks about playing Jesus in Harold & Kumar. Says he had to stay in Jesus wardrobe all day and the Detroit strippers on set were talking him up a lot.
- 11:24 Talks about who he plays in 21 Jump Street. He's the principal of the school. Talks about his friendship with Jonah Hill.
- 13:08 Talks about New Girl. Says they've shot 16 episodes so far and they're doing 24 in total this season. Talks about Martin Starr coming on to guest star.
- 13:52 The daunting task of staying funny for 24 episodes in a row. Talks about the enormously talented creative people involved behind the scenes.
- 15:36 What season on the show does he think people will be sleeping with each other? He says there's actually some in season one.

SMS text messaging comes to Google Chat
Posted by Patrick Phelps Categories: Smartphones, Google, Internet, PC / Laptop
The folks over at Google Labs have been hard at work, trying to tighten the grip of your virtual leash, and today introduced a new way to feed the desire for instant gratification: SMS text messaging for chat. How often have you tried to chat with somebody, but they don't respond because they "just walked away from their computer?" Well, Gmail chat will now send those messages along to your intended recipient's cell phone so it'll be that much harder to ignore you; and if you're in the middle of a conversation you want to continue, but they need to leave their computer, you can now do that seamlessly.
Just go to the Labs area in Preferences to turn it on - you can type any US phone number into the search box in the chat window on the left, then select "Send SMS." You can also select the contact you want to SMS first and then add their phone number. You can send messages to US numbers from anywhere in the world. If you're on the receiving end, when you get a text message from Gmail on your phone, messages from each contact will come from a unique number with a 406 area code (406 spells G0O…), reply like you would to any other text message and the reply will be routed through Gmail's servers straight to your friend's Gmail chat window.
If your recipient REALLY doesn't want to talk to you, it's easy enough to reply to the message with the word BLOCK and you're just out of luck, no more SMS delivery to that contact! If you're someone who doesn't have a text messaging plan or are limited in the number of messages you can receive for free, you can simply reply with the word STOP and you won't receive texts from anybody using Gmail. Another awesome innovation that makes it that much harder to hide…

"We want you to participate in every way you possibly can, no matter where you are located in this entire world. This is the most unbelievable place, though, right here in Lynchburg, Va. This main campus of Liberty University is an incredibly happening place."
He announced that while many universities are happy to build one building every 10 years, Liberty has more than 60 construction projects under way, among them the Jerry Falwell Library, a new baseball stadium, a new basketball practice facility, and a new medical school.
To better familiarize the online faculty with the growth on Liberty's physical campus, a video by Liberty University Marketing was shown. It also documented many other advancements across campus, including several proposed academic programs.
Dr. Ron Hawkins, vice provost, then addressed the faculty on the importance of mentoring students.
"This is such a great place because so many of you here feel you are actually fulfilling the calling of God for your life — you're here because God has called you to be teachers — and what an exciting thing to be involved in," he said. "At Liberty what we've found again and again, with any research we do, is that at the heart of the student experience is the relationship they sustain with faculty — when we look them in the eye and see the desire to learn, and we interact with them, that's where the reward is."
Because of this distinctive, he announced Liberty has launched a pilot program that will give online students the same high quality of advising throughout their time with Liberty. Now, 2,000 online students have been paired with a permanent advisor who will mentor them from the beginning to the end of their program, Hawkins said.
"It's about relationships — your relationship with God, that relationship coming alive in the classroom, and you loving students the way God loves you. And what happens? Champions for Christ."
Reports were given on Liberty's Center for Teaching Excellence, which provides opportunities for professional development for residential and online faculty through workshops, consultations and mentoring that include faith learning integration, and on Liberty's Center for Academic Support and Advising Services (CASAS), which is working to host more job fairs and bolster the LU Network, a job search online that is proving successful for employers who specifically want Liberty University talent.
"As we're hearing from employers, they're very excited to work with us at we reach out, because we have an extra benefit that a lot of other institutions don't have — we provide the academic quality, but we also provide the character, and the work ethic and the skills that they need," Dr. Brian Yates, CASAS dean.
It was also announced that through Liberty's Center for Advancement of Faculty Excellence (CAFE) 800 online courses have been developed in over 100 programs of study since 2006. Liberty is one of only a few universities to have a centralized system of online course development.
During the meeting, presentations were given on Liberty's new Zaki Gordon Cinematic Arts Center, which held a dedication event recently, and the new medical school, which is scheduled to break ground this fall.
A guest speaker, Don Banker, CEO of Banker Steel Co., represented the United Way and ended the meeting by presenting a plan for Liberty to partner with the nonprofit.

Configure a URL
Before you can use Report Manager or the Report Server Web service, you must configure at least one URL for each application. Configuring the URLs is mandatory if you installed Reporting Services in "files-only" mode (that is, by selecting the Install but do not configure the server option on the Report Server Installation Options page in the Installation Wizard). If you installed Reporting Services in the default configuration, URLs are already configured for each application. If you have a report server that is configured to use SharePoint Integrated mode and you update the Report Server Web Service URL by using the Reporting Services Configuration tool, you must also update the URL in SharePoint Central Administration.
Use the Reporting Services Configuration tool to configure the URLs. All parts of the URL are defined in this tool. Unlike earlier releases, Internet Information Services (IIS) Web sites no longer provide access to Reporting Services applications in SQL Server 2008 and later versions.
Reporting Services provides default values that work well in most deployment scenarios, including side-by-side deployments with other Web services and applications. Default URLs incorporate instance names, minimizing the risk of URL conflicts if you run multiple report server instances on the same computer.
This topic provides instructions for the following tasks:
Create a URL for the Report Server Web service.
Create a URL for Report Manager.
Set advanced URL properties to define additional URLs.
For more information about how URLs are stored and maintained or interoperability issues, see About URL Reservations and Registration and Install Reporting Services and Internet Information Services Side-by-Sidein SQL Server Books Online. To review examples of URLs often used in a Reporting Services installation, see Examples of URLs in this topic.
Before you create or modify a URL, remember the following points:
You must be a member of the local Administrators group on the report server computer.
If IIS 6.0 or 7.0 is installed on the same computer, check the names of virtual directories on any Web site that uses port 80. If you see any virtual directories that use the default Reporting Services virtual directory names (that is, "Reports" and "ReportServer"), choose different virtual directory names for the Reporting Services URLs that you configure.
You must use the Reporting Services Configuration tool to configure the URL. Do not use a system utility. Never modify URL reservations in the URLReservations section of the RSReportServer.config file directly. Using the Reporting Services Configuration tool is necessary to update both the underlying URL reservation that is stored internally and synchronize the URL settings stored in the RSReportServer.config file.
Choose a time that has low report activity. Each time the URL reservation changes, you can expect that the application domains for Report Server Web service and Report Manager might be recycled.
For an overview of URL construction and usage in Reporting Services, see Configure Report Server URLs.
To configure a URL for the Report Server Web service
Start the Reporting Services Configuration tool and connect to a local report server instance.
Click Web Service URL.
Specify the virtual directory. The virtual directory name identifies which application receives the request. Because an IP address and port can be shared by multiple applications, the virtual directory name specifies which application receives the request.
This value must be unique to ensure that the request reaches its intended destination. This value is required. It is case-insensitive. There is a one-to-one correspondence between a virtual directory name and an instance of a Reporting Services application. If you create multiple URLs to the same application instance, you must use the same virtual directory name in all of the URLs you define for this application instance.
For the Report Server Web service, the default virtual directory name is ReportServer.
Specify the IP address that uniquely identifies the report server computer on the network. If you want to specify a host header or define additional URLs for the same application instance, you must click Advanced. For instructions on how to set advanced properties on the URL, see the instructions later in this topic. Otherwise, use the Web Service URL page to select from the following values:
All Assigned specifies that any of the IP addresses that are assigned to the computer can be used in a URL that points to a report server application. This value also encompasses friendly host names (such as computer names) that can be resolved by a domain name server to an IP address that is assigned to the computer. This is the default value for a Reporting Services URL.
All Unassigned specifies that the report server will receive any request that has not been handled by another application. We recommend that you avoid this option. If you select this option, it becomes possible for another application that has a stronger URL reservation to intercept requests intended for the report server.
127.0.0.1 is the IPv4 address used to access to localhost. It supports local administration on the report server computer. If you select only this value, only users who are logged on locally to the report server computer will have access to the application.
::1 is the loopback address in IPv6 format.
Specific IP addresses also appear in this list. IP addresses can be in IPv4 and IPv6 formats. Nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the 32-bit IPv4 address of a network adapter card on your computer. IPv6 addresses are 128-bit, with eight 4-byte fields separated by colons: <prefix>:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn
If you have multiple cards or if your network supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, you will see multiple IP addresses. If you select only one IP address, it will limit application access to the just the IP address (and any host name that a domain name server maps to that address). You cannot use localhost to access a report server, and you cannot use the IP addresses of other network adapter cards that are installed on the report server computer. Typically, if you select this value, it is because you are configuring multiple URL reservations that also specify explicit IP addresses or host names (for example, one for a network adapter card used for intranet connections and a second one used for extranet connections).
Specify the port. Port 80 is the default for Reporting Services on Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 because it can be shared with other applications. If you want to use a custom port number, remember that you will have to always specify it in the URL used to access the report server. You can use the following techniques to find an available port:
From a command prompt, type the following command to return a list of TCP ports that are being used:
netstat –a –n -p tcp
Review the Microsoft Support article, Information about TCP/IP port assignments, to read about TCP port assignments and the differences between Well Known Ports (0 through 1023), Registered Ports (1024 through 49151), and Dynamic or Private Ports (49152 through 65535).
If you are using Windows Firewall, you must open the port. For instructions, see Configure a Firewall for Report Server Access.
If you have not done so already, verify that IIS (if it is installed) does not have virtual directory with the same name you plan to use.
If you installed an SSL certificate, you can select it now to bind the URL to the SSL certificate that is installed on your computer.
Optionally, if you select an SSL certificate, you can specify a custom port. The default is 443 but you can use any port that is available.
Click Apply to create the URL.
Test the URL by clicking the link in the URLs section of page. Note that the report server database must be created and configured before you can test the URL. For instructions, see Create a Native Mode Report Server Database (Reporting Services).
Additionally, if your report server is configured to use SharePoint Integrated mode, configure the Report Server Web service URL in SharePoint Central Administration. For more information about how to update the Report Server Web service URL in SharePoint Central Administration, see Configuration and Administration of a Report Server (Reporting Services SharePoint Mode) and Reporting Services Report Server (SharePoint Mode).
To create a URL reservation for Report Manager
Start the Reporting Services Configuration tool and connect to the report server instance.
Click Report Manager URL.
Specify the virtual directory. Report Manager listens on the same IP address and port as the Report Server Web service. If you configured Report Manager to point to a different Report Server Web service, you must modify the Report Manager URL settings in the RSReportServer.config file. For instructions, see Configure Report Manager in SQL Server Books Online.
If you installed an SSL certificate, you can select it to require that all requests to Report Manager are routed over HTTPS.
Optionally, if you select an SSL certificate, you can specify a custom port. The default is 443 but you can use any port that is available.
Click Apply to create the URL.
Test the URL by clicking the link in the URLs section of page.
Setting Advanced Properties to Specify Additional URLs
You can reserve multiple URLs for the Report Server Web service or Report Manager by specifying different ports or host names (either an IP address or a host header name that a domain name server can resolve to an IP address assigned to the computer). By creating multiple URLs, you can set up different access paths to the same report server instance. For example, to enable intranet and extranet access to a report server, you might use the default URL for access across the intranet, and an additional fully qualified host name for extranet access:
You cannot set multiple virtual directory names for the same application instance. Each Reporting Services application instance is mapped to a single virtual directory name. If you have multiple instances of Reporting Services on the same computer, the virtual directory name for an application should include the instance name to ensure that each request reaches its intended target.
To set advanced properties on a URL
On either the Web Service URL or Report Manager URL page, click Advanced.
Click Add.
Click IP Address or Host Header Name. If you specify a host header, be sure to specify a name that the DNS service can resolve. If you are specifying publicly available domain name, include the whole URL, including http://www.
Specify the port. If you specify a custom port, the URL to the application must always include the port number.
Click OK.
Test the URL by opening a browser window and entering the URL.
URLs for Multiple Report Server Instances on the Same Computer
If you are reserving URLs for multiple instances of Reporting Services, you should follow naming conventions so that you can avoid naming conflicts. For more information, see URL Reservations for Multi-Instance Report Server Deployments.
Examples of URL Configurations
The following list shows some examples of what a report server URL might resemble:
URLs that you use to access Report Manager share a similar format and are typically created under the same Web site that hosts the report server. The only difference is the virtual directory name (in this case, it is reports but you can configure it to use whatever name that you want):

Mineful necesitaba un nuevo diseño de papelería y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 24 diseños de 4 diseñadores freelance.
The idea for Mineful was born from problems we encountered as marketing analysts. It was difficult to communicate analytical results effectively and impossible to update the information continuously. Many market research projects were stored and forgotten about. Other analyses had to be re-programmed repeatedly because there was no way to automate advanced marketing analysis.
We knew there had to be a low-cost but high-end way of analyzing this data so it could be put to good use. That's when we decided to blend computer engineering with statistical analysis to see if we could put produce a platform that would allow our customers to do the same robust analysis big businesses do and have the results updated continuously. Our vision is that all companies, big or small, have an automatic way of collecting and analyzing data, giving you ready access to the information needed to make strategic decisions.
We are marketing to primarily C-Level executives, particularly Chief Marketing Officers or Marketing Directors. We are targeting the growing small business market and the medium business market. We are focusing this marketing campaign around associations and marketing research/advertising companies. Our targets will be in organizations that need data analysis to make intelligent decisions about the effectiveness of their marketing efforts.
See the attached PowerPoint for examples and more directions.
I need a professionally designed postcard to mail as promotional and advertising media. We want two postcards, each with their own different image on the front. The back of both postcards will be the same. We will need to be able to edit this file. We are open to creativity and ideas. The two ideas we have come up with are to display our software's search bar or to display a graph/chart/some sort of image about statistics and data. The text on the front will pose a question/thought to make the reader think about if or how they measure marketing data or answer a questions like, "What if you could reduce membership attrition by 50%?". We need:
Adobe Illustrator file
16inch bleed
4 and 1/8" x 6 and 1/8" total postcard size
No crop marks
Use a common font, we don't want to download font files

Hubble's variable nebula is named
(like the Hubble telescope itself) after the American
astronomer Edwin P. Hubble, who carried out some
of the early studies of this object. It is a fan-shaped
cloud of gas and dust which is illuminated by R
Monocerotis (R Mon), the bright star at the bottom
end of the nebula. Dense condensations of dust near
the star cast shadows out into the nebula, and as
they move the illumination changes, giving rise
to the variations first noted by Hubble. The star
itself, lying about 2,500 light-years from Earth,
cannot be seen directly, but only through light
scattered off of dust particles in the surrounding
nebula. R Mon is believed to have a mass of about
10 times that of the Sun, and to have an age of
only 300,000 years. There is probably a symmetrical
counterpart of the fan-shaped nebula on the southern
side of the star, but it is heavily obscured from
view by dust lying between this lobe and our line
of sight.

realryder brauchte ein neues T-Shirt Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 111 Designs von 29 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
We are looking for a simple, clean, and edgy design to put on a shirt. We want to show the difference between our indoor cycle and other indoor cycles is that ours leans, tilts, turns, and banks like a real bike. We are open to different tag lines or even logos if you feel creative.
We want a simple and clean, but cool and edgy shirt. There can be writing, images, and logos on the front, back and sleeve of the shirt, but it is not necessary to use all three places. Most importantly we want to show and express the difference from our bike and every other bike out there. Our feels and moves like a real bike by being able to lean, tilt, and turn like a real bike. We will be handing these shirts out to instructors, potential customers, and participants in classes at gyms, trade shows, and our office. We are launching a new model the ABF8 that is mostly black with red and white logos and writing, this doesn't mean that the shirt has to be those colors. Check out our website http://www.realryder.com ideas and a better understanding of our product. We are open to different tag lines and even logos if you feel creative. This is a really cool and innovative product and we want to express that in our shirt. It gives people a much better workout by allowing them to use their core, balance, and upper body that no other bike has been able to do. It is also a lot more interesting than previous indoor cycling workouts, because it allows you to move in ways that previously one couldn't. We are looking to express this in a shirt.
I don't want to require anything on the shirt as I would like people to be creative. I think that "realryder" should be on the shirt. Check out our website at http://www.realryder.com ideas. Mostly I want something that people would want to wear. Ask yourself if you would want to wear this shirt and does it express what makes the product different from others?
I don't want a picture of our old model bike the ABF7. We don't even need a picture of our current model bike. We don't want a shirt that is really busy.

Photography-wise, I only pulled out the P&S and I've got nothing to write home about this week. But as far as expanding my kitchen prowess goes, I'm very proud of these pictures. 🙂
On Saturday, we visited Berry Patch Farms where we
ate picked organic strawberries and peaches, and had a great time doing so.
I was determined to get some of the big ones up high, so up the tree I went:
Something like 4 lbs. of strawberries and 15 lbs. of peaches later, our bounty looked like this:
Then it turned into this (after a fair bit of work) in the span of 36 hours:
That used up all of our strawberries, but we still have a LOT of peaches left that I may freeze or can as slices.
But the big deal here (at least to me) is that Sunday was my first time ever making jam or canning anything! While it was definitely a learning experience, it was also a lot of fun and I'm so proud of my first 10 little jars of jam. 🙂 Those 10 little jars are my choice for Best Shot Monday, although they are hard-pressed to compete against Mr. Strawberry-face up there. 😉
I will be blogging a step-by-step guide to canning jam (with pictures) in the near future, so if you want to get started canning be sure to check it out.
