Posted Sun 27th of November 2011
I had been awakened at the same time every morning for the last three weeks, 3 a.m. and I'm wide awake. I got up to go and pee, when I heard a sound of rattling dishes or something coming from my kitchen downstairs. I walked to my closet instead of the bathroom, and reached inside acquiring the bat that I hadn't used for softball in over a year. I crept silently staying close to the wall down the steps ensuring that I didn't step on the creaky steps that I hadn't fixed in years, therefore, I knew exactly where they were.
As I got to the end of the staircase and turned the corner headed toward the kitchen when I heard another loud thump. I tightened my choke up on the bat as silently approached the kitchen. I could see a shadow on the far wall; it appeared to be a man based on the shape. Now I was scared it was 3 a.m. in the morning, I lived in a very rural area, where the police where at least 20 minutes from me. Had I been smart instead of thinking I was invincible I would have called the cops on my cell and they would have been on their way. But not I, my first instinct was to grab a ball bat and take it on myself, now I knew how dumb I had been. Well nothing I could do now but approach and threaten to beat the living hell out of this guy in my kitchen. I rounded the corner and stood face to face with this man all I could really see was the moonlight shining in from the window hitting his dark eyes.
"Get the fuck out of my house, "I screamed.
Instantly this guy grabbed my hand that was on the bat and squeezed, the pain was intense, however, I was not letting go of the damn thing. I screamed in rage and fear as he began to battle me for my weapon. I knew if I let go since I had seen this guy my life was in serious danger. He didn't make a sound as I fought with all I had. He jerked the bat from my hand and through it to the floor; I began pounding on his head, face, chest and anything else I could hit as I swung wildly at this stranger. I was aware that my t-shirt I had worn was ripped and my breast was exposed but I didn't care I just had to get away from this guy. He shoved me against the wall and put his forearm into my throat. I was gasping for air when he ripped my gown off of my body, I was very aware of my surroundings, he had me against a wall where there were no pictures, nothing I could use as a weapon against this intruder.
Roughly, his hands began to fondle my exposed breasts; I still struggled as his forearm was tightened against my throat. I was trying to breathe, all I could think of at that moment was to just give up let him fuck me get the hell out of my house. I could call the cops and they would catch this son of a bitch. He pulled roughly at my breast pulling my nipples and smacking them with his hand, it hurt I had never been roughed up before, nor had I ever enjoyed rough sex before. Not that this was sex, I was being raped, I was being forced to fuck this stranger that had invaded my home.
The guy grabbed a handful of my hair, "your going to shut the fuck up, stop trying to fight and come with me or I swear to god I'll kill you," he spat at me. I looked at him; he had a handsome face, one that I would likely not forget anytime soon. He had dark eyes; black hair pulled into a pony tail and had a dark complexion. He pulled me by the hair into the living room and threw me on the sofa. There was really no point in fighting this guy he was going to rape me one way or the other, I just as well be very still and let him do whatever. He unzipped his pants and pulled them off; I could see his huge cock bulging in his underwear. He got on top of me and began to suck my nipples first one and then the other. I didn't move, I didn't react at all, although it did feel good I was not going to give this son of a bitch the satisfaction that I was sexually aroused by this kind of behavior. I felt his hand probing between my legs, he grabbed my legs and pulled them a apart exposing my pussy to his throbbing huge cock. He shoved two fingers roughly into my tight little pussy hole. I bit back a scream because I was not wet and it hurt. He moved his fingers deeper and deeper into my hole. After he was satisfied I was getting wet and He knew I was aroused he took his hard cock and in one stroke shoved it into my pussy. Pulling my legs up he held them to his chest around his neck as his cock slid fast and hard into my cunt hitting my cervix with every stroke. What appalled me the most was I was just about to cum. I had to try to stifle this feeling I had. I couldn't help it I came, I was silent but my quivering legs I was sure gave me up.
He knew that I came, I could see a smile of satisfaction on his face as he quickly flipped me over and pulled me up at the waist. At least if he fucked me doggy style the bastard couldn't see my face. That's not what he had in mind, and I didn't realize it until it was too late. His fingers probed my asshole. No one had ever fucked me in the ass, and I wasn't going to start now. I tried to wiggle and fight him off. He smacked my ass hard several times, tell me to stop it or he would make me pay. After the pain of him smacking me got to me I stopped fighting. As my punishment I am sure he shoved two fingers into my asshole, I screamed unable to help myself. I could feel his fingers digging into the tender skin just inside of my rectum. I was aware that I was crying now. I felt the head of his huge cock pushing against my asshole. All I could do was continue to beg him to stop fucking me. I screamed biting my lower lip until I drew blood as his huge dick shoved into my tight little ass, he shoved straight past the nice little ring inside of my asshole, and shoved deep into me all the way up to his balls. I cried for him to stop, he continued to smack my ass as he fucked me harder and harder as he rocked my face against the sofa. The pain in my ass was starting to subside just a little bit however, the spanking was killing me, I still cried, when he pull his dick out of my tight hole, and flipped me back over. He got on my chest and shoved his cock into my mouth. My first instinct was to castrate the son of a bitch but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I let him fuck my throat, he pulled out and came all over my face.
Breathing heavy he got off of me, all I could do was lay there perfectly still hoping that now he would just dress and leave me to my mess so I could call the police. I lay there still not moving not wanting to disturb him for fear he might fuck me some more. He zipped his pants up and stood up. He held his hand down to me to offer me help up on the sofa. I gave him my hand as he pulled me up and close to him. His lips brushed my face and then his lips found mine, he kissed me deeply. His lips were soft and tender against mine, as his tongue found mine they danced. He pulled away and smiled at me.
"Baby you were great," he said.
I smiled at him, "I love you," I said. My boyfriend and I had been playing this game for quite some time, there was something that turned me on about getting up at 3:00 a.m. when he got off work and finding wherever he was in the house and letting him fuck me however, he saw fit. This was just another one of his little games, he loved to fuck me anyway he saw fit. Tonight he was the rapist. Let's see what tomorrow night would bring.

Milan Luthria's The Dirty Picture News
Vidya Balan: We are used as a high-profile punching bag
The Dirty Picture actor is enraged as her National Award-winning film was banned from screening on prime time TV
Vidya Balan is boiling with anger these days. Her national award winning film The Dirty Picture was scheduled to air on Sony Television at 12pm and 8pm on Sunday, but a last minute verdict by the Information and Broadcast Ministry of India stalled the broadcast of the film. What irritates Vidya more than anything else is the fact that the ban on the telecast came after the High Court had already cleared the 2011 hit with 59 cuts and issued a U/A certificate.

One Call Said to Seek $1.25 Billion of Loans for Apax Buyout
Krista GiovaccoOne Call Care Management, a provider of medical services, is seeking $1.25 billion of loans to support its acquisition by Apax Partners LLP, according to a person familiar with the transaction.
Opal Acquisition Inc., the borrower, is seeking an $825 million, seven-year first-lien term loan and a $420 million, second-lien portion that comes due in eight years, said the person, who asked not to be identified because terms aren't set.
Bank of America Corp., Royal Bank of Canada, Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank AG and Guggenheim are arranging the financing and will host a lender meeting at 10 a.m. on Nov. 12 in New York, the person said.
Apax agreed to acquire One Call from Odyssey Investment Partners LLC, its controlling stockholder, according to an Oct. 25 statement distributed by PR Newswire. In December 2009, Odyssey acquired One Call Medical, which was merged with MSC Care Management in August 2012 to form One Call Care Management, according to the statement.
Proceeds of the loan, with $1.2 billion of equity, will fund the acquisition, the person said. The transaction is expected to close this quarter.
First-lien debt is repaid first in a bankruptcy or liquidation, second-lien debt is repaid next.

'Social Security' for mature audiences only
High comedy and fanciful fun will fill the stage as The Old Pros take on the ticklish topic of social relationships through the generations with their March 22, 23, 24 Main Stage production of "Social Security" by Andrew Bergman, one of Hollywood's top comedy writers ("Blazing Saddles," "Soapdish," "Fletch," "The Freshman"). Audiences may experience wry recognition of such generational situations as who takes care of aging parents, how to deal with wayward adult children and the oft-pondered question: Is there love among the ruins?
"It's the funniest play I've read in years," said director Sheila Bialka, when asked why she chose this particular play. "It's rollicking good fun, better than Neil Simon." And she should know, having directed last year's Old Pros successful production of Neil Simon's "Forty-five Seconds from Broadway."
"Apart from 'Driving Miss Daisy,' this is the easiest directing assignment I've ever had. I'm blessed with this cast, something I've deserved for the last 50 years!" she said.
This is a real, honest to goodness hit Broadway comedy, as in the Good Old Days. Trendy Manhattan art gallery owners, Barbara and David, have their chic and sophisticated life turned upside down when Barbara's goody-goody housewife sister Trudy deposits their eccentric and cantankerous mother Sophie on the couple's doorstep while she and her uptight CPA husband Martin head off to rescue their precocious college student daughter from a horrific situation. Comic sparks fully ignite when Sophie is introduced to a famous aging artist. What happens next may give new meaning to the resilience of senior citizens.
"Social Security" performs at 7 p.m. Friday, March 22, at 2 and 7 p.m. Saturday, March 23 and at 2 p.m. Sunday, March 24. Reserved tickets are $12 and $15 and are on sale at the Clubhouse 3 box office now. Audiences should be aware that the play contains some explicit sexual language.

I meant to put this recipe in my column last winter, but I never got around to it. It's good any time of the year, though. You can buy the pork loin slices already cut, but I like to get a whole pork loin and cut the slices kind of thick. It's really yummy. You can fix just about anything to go with it, but rice is nice.

It's been a long time since we had any coverage of Vessel, Strange Loop Games' intriguing 2D puzzle-adventure. That all changes right now. With the game due for release this winter, the team have released a new trailer to show how far things have come in the last eighteen months. Already a finalist in IGF's technical excellence category for 2010, the game's artwork and complex fluid physics look superb. Open your ears as well as your eyes because the music is delightful too.
The way the raindrops bounce and trickle got me straight away. I could write out a long list of the various things I was reminded of but I think that would be unfair. All that matters is they're all positive and the game looks like it has enough ideas to stand alone. As the video shows more of the fluid physics, I found myself imagining entire puzzle designs based around the tech. It's exciting. Much more exciting than being shown a pretend explosion that's more realistic than an explosion.
Apart from looking exceptionally clever, Vessel also looks rather beautiful. The world is interesting and the sense of melancholy prevents it all from seeming too cute. I'm not sure if the Fluros, those liquid fellows, are going to come out of the experience unscathed. They've been given life, that much is certain, and now they're causing all manner of mischief. But will they be tamed or destroyed? I dread to think.
The only thing I'm not entirely sold on is the main character. He looks the part, with his handsome sideburns, but his animations are a little clunky at times. It's only noticeable because everything else looks so fantastic and I'm probably just being curmudgeonly. When faced with something that has this much potential, I should be more thankful.

Usually I have a look in my books to search for meanings and origins, sometimes (if I can't find anything) I search the internet. But there are tons of unreliable information there (even in books sometimes but not as often!), so I'm not always sure if the meanings given are right or not...The information about Eryl I found here:
No idea if that's right or not! ;-)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 10, 2010
CHICAGO – The Illinois Department on Aging (IDoA) today hosted its annual awards ceremony to recognize individuals and organizations whose contributions and accomplishments in assisting older adults merit recognition. Each year the awards ceremony serves as the final event during the Governor's Conference on Aging where advocates and experts from across the state gather to focus on issues that affect the aging population. This year's conference was December 8-10 at the Chicago Marriott Downtown.
"These individuals and organizations put a great deal of time and effort into addressing the needs of older adults," said IDoA Director Charles D. Johnson. "And getting together for this conference, which is the largest statewide meeting of those who work in the aging network, provides the perfect setting to honor them."
One of this year's award winners was the Honorable Lisa Madigan, Attorney General for the State of Illinois. Ms. Madigan received the Sid Granet Aging Network Achievement Award on behalf of the Illinois Association of Area Agencies on Aging for her aggressive legal action against those taking advantage of older adults. She has been instrumental in drafting legislation and launched "Operation Guardian," with brings together state and local law enforcement and health inspectors to conduct unannounced inspections of nursing homes to ensure compliance and to remove residents with outstanding warrants.
"I'm honored today to receive this award from the Illinois Association of Area Agencies on Aging," said Attorney General Lisa Madigan. "These are very tough times for all of us, and seniors have been hit particularly hard. It is imperative we protect them from both physical and financial harm. I am proud to accept this award in recognition of the important work that my office does every day to ensure that older citizens are treated with the respect they deserve."
Several awards were also presented by professional associations to individuals and organizations in the Aging Network who provide best services to assist older adults. A list of the 2010 presenters and awardees follows:
IDoA Director Johnson presented the Governor's Award for Excellence to Carol Aronson, director of Shawnee Alliance for Seniors and Shawnee Health Service, in Carterville. Under Aronson's leadership, The Alliance operates programs including case coordination, case management, elder abuse, regional ombudsman, money management, and gerontological in-home counseling, which assists older adults in the lower 13 counties of Illinois to maximize their independence and remain in the community.
The Illinois Adult Day Service Association presented two awards:• The Sunlight Award went to Brenda Jarog, of the DeKalb Adult Day Center, in DeKalb. Jarog gives 150 percent of herself to make the center the best it can be for the clients. She developed an enclosed patio area for clients, spent Memorial Day building an enclosed wooden fence in the parking lot, and spearheaded a fundraiser to pay for the materials.
• The Everything Under the Sun Award went to Addus Evergreen Club of Homewood. Addus offers activities in a group setting including a young adult group, which serves those with autism, or whom are developmentally delayed or have low physical or cognitive functioning. The club also offers teaching skills and weekly spiritual services and provides an atmosphere for learning, fun, comfort and teamwork.
Illinois Council of Case Coordination Units presented the Care Coordinator of the Year to Leann Sosamon, with Community Care Systems, of Bloomington. Sosamon often completes her assignments early in the month so she can help other case managers struggling to see all their clients. She is willing to work during her days off when the office is short-staffed. She is a wonderful advocate for clients, presenting them with all viable options and treats them with the utmost dignity and respect.
AARP Illinois presented the Andrus Award for Community Service to Joseph Bender, of West Peoria. Bender is always on the move, even at 90 years old. He's been an instructor with the AARP Driver Safety Program for more than 20 years, and has volunteered for more than 25 years with the Share Foods program to feed low income families. Next month, he will receive the "Veterans Award" for 85 years of scouting service.
The Coalition of Limited English Speaking Elderly (CLESE) presented the Pillar of Service Award to Homer Ashurian, of the Assyrian Universal Alliance Foundation (AUAF), in Chicago. Ashurian was born in Iran and worked in education and government before coming to the United States to escape persecution. He started working with the AUAF and has worked to build strong support and social services for Assyrian refugees, immigrant elderly and students.
The Illinois Association of Community Care Program Homecare Providers announced the Supervisors of the Year and winner of the D. Jeanne Tippett Scholarship: • Sharon K. Beksel, with Lutheran Social Services of Illinois, in Rockford, began her career as a homecare aide, in 2006. It was soon apparent that Beksel is extremely compassionate and caring toward clients. Three years later she was named a supervisor. She currently works with 46 homecare aides (serving 112 participants) to recruit, train, monitor, schedule and make field visits.
• Kathy Stark, of Community Home Environmental Learning Project (CHELP), in Decatur, started with CHELP three years ago and ascended to a Homemaker Supervisor position. She quickly developed the skills necessary to help clients in a very professional manner. Stark supervises 29 Homecare Aides who are responsible for more than 100 clients. She is assigned many of the more challenging participants due to her skill in improving any situation.
• Sheila J. Hastings, of Community Care Systems Adult Day Service Inc., in Quincy, is winner of the D. Jeanne Tippett Scholarship. Hastings is a widow who returned to school to earn a degree as a social worker. Known for being a hard worker, who is dependable, trustworthy, and compassionate, she has dedicated her life to helping others.
Illinois Association of Nutrition Providers presented the Joyce Still Memorial Award to Debbie Weber, with Golden Circle Nutrition, in Effingham. She has been director since 1978 and is a past president and vice president of the Illinois Association of Nutrition Program Providers. Weber served on various committees for the association, including Education and Legislative, and has been instrumental in conducting strategic planning as the association moves forward. She is also very active as a volunteer in Effingham County.
The Association of Illinois Senior Centers presented the Mind, Body and Spirit Award to:• Mascoutah Senior Services Program, in Mascoutah, and Senior Center Director Sandra Hakanson. The center offers programs that enrich the lives of seniors including a project where seniors tell their personal stories, a clothing exchange to update their wardrobes and free classes in Tai Chi, yoga and line dancing.
• Oswegoland Seniors, in Oswego, and Executive Director Robert L. Wyngard. The center is considered a haven by some of the 500 seniors who take part in programs. The center developed out of a need to provide subsidized nutrition and quickly grew into a full-fledged senior center. It's located in a retired school building in Kendall County, which has one of the fastest growing senior populations in the state, and has a team of more than 60 volunteers.

It´s also cheap and the LED will last at least 100.000 hours. A normal light bulb lasts for 1000 hours. When this bulb dies, probably there will be no more incandescent bulbs on the market, if so, they will be vintage and much more expensive. =)

Overcoming nutrient standard challenges with science and collaboration -
The swirling controversy over eutrophication and nutrients is prompting a stormy debate over federal and state power-sharing, but the solution to the pollution and political confrontation lies in better science and collaboration rather than extreme shifts in fed-state relations.
Many accuse the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of seizing too much ground in the state-based nutrient standards arena and dictating local diets through overly stringent total maximum daily load (TMDL) requirements under the federal Clean Water Act (CWA). They fear the Feds have gone too far in pushing state development of scientifically and legally defensible numeric criteria for nutrients, side-stepping state authorities and setting up producers, developers and others for failure and fines.
There's truth and fiction to the story, but also a lot of misunderstanding and hyperbole in the quest for "proper balance" between federal and state—a concept that seems to ebb and flow over time depending on environmental, economic and political realities.
A Case for Intervention
In January 2009, as EPA's assistant administrator for water, I made the determination under the CWA that Florida's efforts on phosphorus and nitrogen were insufficient and that EPA needed to step in and begin the process of developing numeric criteria. We recognized that the state was taking action and making some progress with narrative standards, but the large number of impaired water bodies (e.g., 1,000 miles of rivers and streams and 350,000 acres of lakes) justified an escalated effort. The Obama administration followed through and issued final standards for Florida's lakes and inland waters in November 2010. The controversial regulation includes some tools for site-specific alternative criteria and extended effective dates. EPA intends to issue similar regulations for Florida's estuarine and coastal waters by 2012.
The key, of course, is how to move forward cooperatively and find the way as soon as possible to turn the keys back over to a highly sophisticated state agency fully capable of charting its own course. The National Academy of Sciences can help as well. One of its committees recently held a workshop in Florida on the rule's economic assumptions to shed light on the wide range of rosy and gloomy cost estimates.
Setting the Stage
Nationally, EPA and state water pollution control administrators continue to work on nutrient pollution strategies. Agriculture also is weighing in to find solutions. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has launched a four-year, $320-million Mississippi River Healthy Watersheds Initiative that relies on technical and financial assistance, perhaps setting the stage for similar efforts in a future Farm Bill, although fiscal constraints on conservation spending loom large.
Some states are concerned about EPA's TMDL pollution diets for permitted and diffuse sources, particularly in areas such as the Chesapeake Bay (where the agency issued an historic multi-state TMDL in December 2010) and the Mississippi River/Gulf of Mexico watershed (where the agency has been turning its attention for years but has yet to follow the Chesapeake Bay model). The concern is understandable. It's also hard work, expensive and politically difficult for states to make progress in controlling nitrogen and phosphorus pollution—a leading cause of water quality impairment—without some assistance from EPA.
The National Academy of Sciences has waded into dead zones and algae blooms on several occasions as well. For example, a 2010 report on the Mississippi River Basin and northern Gulf of Mexico recommended "establishing a numeric limit for the amount of nutrients in the water ... to act as an endpoint for EPA and the Mississippi River states to set water quality standards for nutrients throughout the basin." I tend to agree: To make progress, we need solid, enforceable, defensible, achievable criteria, preferably set by states, to drive results and also create markets for trading and water quality upgrading.
Restructuring the Relationship
Congress recently has stepped in with tough oversight hearings and aggressive legislation to "reign in regulators" from EPA. In July, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 2018, the Clean Water Cooperative Federalism Act of 2011, a controversial and significant shift in the balance of power between EPA and states under the CWA. The bill essentially would prevent EPA from taking over a state-approved standards-setting effort, such as in Florida's case with nutrients. In my view, the current version goes too far, too fast and with too many questionable impacts on downstream states, communities and ecosystems. However, I also believe it raises some legitimate issues that, if channeled properly, could allow for better partnerships to spring forth.
Perhaps one of the best results of the debate would be to keep EPA's override authority on the table, allowing the federal agency to step in and promulgate standards in lieu of a state's—but only when necessary to further a strong federal interest and consistent with a state-friendly protocol. Of course, none of that is new; it's more a question of how to define the conditions and build the trust along the way without violating the letter or spirit of the CWA.
Sometimes it's better to keep and refine collaboration tools, including regulatory hammers, than to throw them away. There's also a need for an interstate umpire to step in from time to time to protect downstream interests and regional ecosystems. And, as the National Academy of Sciences and virtually every water professional has pointed out, we need more time and money invested in the science of understanding, controlling, treating and recovering nutrients. Cost-effective technologies and smart strategies will help with over-fed lakes and fed-up states.

Yes, its true. Facebook has completely rewritten the PHP runtime to make it faster and more efficient, and its completely open source. Named HipHop, its described as a source code transformer, changing PHP into optimized C++ which is then compiled using g++. Thus keeping the best aspects of PHP while taking advantage of the performance of C++. Using HipHop, the Facebook web server CPU usage has been decreased by about fifty percent! And who would have thought that this and many other cool advances in programming, started at a Hackathon.
42 thoughts on "PHP runtime rewritten, by Facebook?"
Apostrophes. It's okay to use them.
to bad facebook is STILL slower than any other site out there
facebook still crashes more often than not, is slow as hell, and is generally a really shitty piece of software. The site's actual point and usage keeps us all coming back, but the ui and software is all junk.
Just like PHP.
This could be interesting. I'd like to see something other than Facebook "translated". But, yes… Facebook is still the slowest website around.
Facebook is very fast for me and what do you mean "facebook still crashes more often than not" ?
You mean your browser? Maybe it's time to remove some of those plugins no?
Dan: I assume they mean the constant "Oops, something went wrong" messages you get when attempting to use the site.
The only problems with "Oops, something went wrong" that I ever see with Facebook is while using the games. Hardly facebook's fault
its a part of their service no?
Considering how massive their userbase is and how much crazy interactive real-time shit's running all the time it's impressive none-the-less.
They're third-party programs.
Facebook will have to police them, but for transparency's sake they rely on the user feedback. So rather than bickering and ranting about it, why don't you send Facebook some feedback, eh? :D
Boudico: I don't use any third party apps, but encounter those dialogs on a fairly frequent basis (usually when attempting to post a comment on a news feed item or attempting to open the notification item menu in the bottom-right).
why the hell is all of the "new" internet stuff named after something that already exists? it's so silly. do they honestly think if you google "hiphop" you're going to find anything about php? so SO silly. I know hiphop music is dead, but come on.. let it keep it's name.
R.I.P. internet. -
@walt As with domains, all of the good names have been taken.
So, what you're saying Walt, is, "Let's keep it real" :p
damn my grammatical error!
"why don't you send Facebook some feedback, eh? :D"
well when you do that facebook tells you to goto the app maker, the app maker tells you to goto facebook, in reality we know where they are both telling us to go
I dont mess around with it much anymore
"Yes, its true. Facebook has completely rewritten the PHP runtime"
No, it's not.
"it is a source code transformer. HipHop programmatically transforms your PHP source code into highly optimized C++ and then uses g++ to compile it."
Somewhat different…
I'll stick with PHP. I don't write huge social networking apps with millions of users, so I should be ok with what everyone else is using.
Oh boy.. I love the smell of exploits in the morning.
@ chris
"@walt As with domains, all of the good names have been taken."that's true. so, why not make up some new word for it then. worked for google, twitter etc… the least they could have done was throw an "i" in front of the name like the rest of the "new" yuppie crap out there.
Is it just me, or does github not have a "hiphop-php" project? And the google group is empty… (though, as a new group, I guess it's feasible noone has posted yet..)
Eitherway I think this is great news.
I still can't find the source code to this damned thing.. seems more like vapourware to me.
What happened to facebook setting up XMPP/jabber? only mentioned briefly in a blog post and then nothing.
They wanted to do that, but iHop was already taken.@M4CGYV3R
Exactly. PHP has never done wrong by me, and is plenty fast for my quantity of web traffic.I wish someone would rewrite the java runtime…
No comment on Facebook's performance, but I must say this project has caught my attention. I might try it out.
People here saying that there isn't much of a point to use this rather than plain ol' PHP for something simple are indeed right, unless, your project involves data mining, which i would hope could be made significantly more efficient with HipHop. Then again.. i could be wrong. HipHop could be total shit and make PHP go all emo on me; slitting its wrists to avoid being so fail any longer.
"the least they could have done was throw an "i" in front of the name like the rest of the "new" yuppie crap out there."iHop wouldn't sound right, lol
not to mention you'd only get pancakes when you googled it.
"so, why not make up some new word for it then. worked for google"
I always assumed Google was a play on Googol. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_(disambiguation)
The word in that spelling has at least existed since 1913. :3
Am I the only one that has missed something really obvious here – why not just write the code in C++ in the first place to be sure it is optimized instead of relying on a converter to write it for you ????
This is cool and I like the fact they've made it open source.
Unfortunately I work at a company that makes facebook games and having spent the last year working with the facebook api, I can say they have a very different view of usability than the other 6 billion people on the planet. I can't help but feel this thing probably has some of that facebook mentality in, which in my experience proves to be nothing but a hindrance.
Neat! This explains why I get errors almost every single I try to login to FB. Way to go guys…take something that works and "improve" it.
Just delete your account already. Social networking is such crap.
They hide the delete button on purpose:
http://www.wikihow.com/Permanently-Delete-a-Facebook-Account -
How is
run PHP convert that to HTML
convert PHP to C++ then run C++ then convert that to HTML -
I don't trust anybody involved in facebook to make anything worthwhile.
@ Chris
I agree, obviously Facebook had C++ developers working for them to create hiphop. I assume it is because the current PHP developers they employ would become useless, no one likes the bad publicity that comes with large corporate layoffs.
T&P – Because in PHP, it goes: PHP script interpreted by PHP binary (C++) to convert to HTML.
This skips the interpreter, and runs pure bytecode on the CPU.
facebook is one of the largest contributors to the open source community, this is just another notch on their belt.
with regards to why they wouldn't hire c++ devs, web development is a very different skill with a large pool of talent. It is great they have found a way use that talent while leveraging the benefits of compiled code.
But the interpreter would still be needed for the PHP to C++ code then in 2 extra steps to be compiled and then assembled then its actually ran.
@dnm: but the ui and software is all junk. Just like PHP.
PHP has a UI?
I remember reading an article a few weeks ago with a Facebook employee (founder?) talking about how they were rewriting PHP to run as a compiled language.
This seems more like they wrote their own C++ interpreter, instead of the PHP built-in interpreter, not a new language or a PHP re-write.
RE: writing the site directly in C++, I'd say it's more an issue of library support and language syntax than anything else — think of Hiphop as being a set of C++ extensions (a "grammar", really) that let you write web pages with active content, in a less-sucky way than e.g. stringing together a massive pile of sprintf's.
And from what I've seen, this is probably not going to be a big boon to most people. I don't have the quote, but they've basically said "optimize your database, stand up memcached, look at your architecture" before you try to move to Hiphop. Most sites are not going to find their bottleneck in CPU-bound PHP processing as it stands, in which case making that part faster won't improve the user experience.
intersting post…. before I have noticed facebook is really a bit slow… and now its much faster…

Elena's Blog: From Istanbul To Sofia
Published October 29, 2013 12:05
Tuesday, October 29, 2013
Hello everyone! I'll be doing the WTA Blog from Sofia this week...
But first, Istanbul was an amazing week for me. It was my first time at the WTA Championships and we were so happy we qualified there - and then it was twice the happiness because we made the final. Ekaterina had been injured and honestly we practiced maybe four days before the tournament - we practiced a lot, but maybe four days wasn't enough to win... but still, for us it was a great effort.
I had been in Istanbul a few times before so I knew the city a little bit, but we still went for a little bit of sightseeing - we saw the Blue Mosque and the Grand Bazaar - so we had some nice times there. And the weather was really nice in Istanbul last week, especially coming from Moscow the week before, where it was raining and almost snowing even. When we got to Istanbul it was like a fairytale!
After the final we had a little bit of a celebration and then went to bed a bit late. I had an early flight on Monday morning so I didn't get as much sleep as I normally do - and I didn't pack as properly as I would with a little bit more time - but I'm here now. I was a bit tired when I got here though.
And Ekaterina is back in Moscow...
So now I'm in Sofia for the first time, and I've already had a bit of time to see the city. Before the draw ceremony yesterday we had a group picture taken at the Aleksander Nevski Cathedral. It looks beautiful. And this morning I went for a little walk in the center of the city, and I saw some really interesting monuments - one was just a big head, which was actually a statue of Stefan Stambolov, who was killed with an axe to the head. At first I was wondering why it was only a head! Then I went to a Russian church - it had a lot of construction going on so you could only see part of it, but it was very nice. Then I had an ice cream :) This city is just very nice, I felt very comfortable when I was walking around. It's very traditional, very European - it reminds me a little bit of Russia or Ukraine.
It's very homey here :)
The rest of today I'm probably going to watch some of the tennis. It's actually very unusual for me here - there are only eight players so it's very quiet in the player lounge, and we all have separate locker rooms so we don't see each other that much like at the other tournaments... but everything is just such a nice, unique atmosphere, so I just want to spend some more time here and enjoy it.
Thank you for reading and talk to you all again tomorrow!
P.S. Here are pictures of me with the statue and church I talked about!

Oklahoma puts freeze on monuments at statehouse for monkey god, Satan
By Heide Brandes
OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) - Oklahoma has put a halt to new monuments at its Capitol after groups petitioned to have markers for Satan, a monkey god and a spaghetti monster erected near a large stone tablet inscribed with the Ten Commandments.
The Oklahoma Capitol Preservation Commission voted on Thursday to ban new monuments on statehouse grounds until a court battle is settled with the American Civil Liberties Union, which is seeking the removal of the Ten Commandments, local media reported.
Commission officials were not immediately available for comment on Friday.
The Oklahoma branch of the ACLU this year sued to have the Old Testament monument removed, saying the state should not be in the business of legitimizing religion and that the precedent could result in a spectacle of religion. No decision has been reached in the case.
Socially conservative Christian groups fought for years to have the Ten Commandments displayed at the statehouse, and the monument went up in 2012.
Legislative approval was granted to the Christian groups, who were using private funds to commemorate what they said was a historical event. The legislature and the groups said they were not in violation of constitutional restrictions on the state sponsoring religion.
Legal experts said this opened the door for other groups to use this model to petition for placing their monuments on the capitol's grounds. After the ACLU filed suit, the Satanist group filed an application with the state to place its monument on capitol grounds.
Other groups that have applied include a Hindu group looking to set up a monument to a monkey god, an animal welfare group wanting to set up a monument to world peace and one to honor the satirical Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
(This version of the story corrects spelling of Commandments in fifth paragraph)

8 steps to preventing identity theft
By Katherine Vessenes
Vestment Advisors
Your office is a treasure trove for identity thieves. In fact, there is a good chance you are enabling identity thieves right now -- and you don't even know it.
The bad news: I estimate about one in ten people reading this will have their identity stolen this year.
More bad news: A number of studies indicate that between 80 percent and 90 percent of your clients will walk away from you if they discover you have not kept their private information secure.
The good news: There are things you can do to help prevent thieves from getting into your pockets and the pockets of your clients.
Financial advisors can be particularly prime targets for identity thieves. Think about all the information you have on your clients: their Social Security numbers, copies of their driver's licenses, tax returns, estate planning documents, their account information, their dates of birth, the names of their children and parents, etc. Sometimes, you even have their credit card information and passwords. In short, you have everything a thief needs to steal someone's assets, credit and identity, and you don't just have this information on yourself, but also on hundreds of clients.
Here is what you can do to prevent this from happening to you and your clients:
1. Don't hire anyone without a thorough background check. Your security system is no stronger than your weakest employee.
2. Put better locks on your filing cabinets.
3. Consider making one person in your office the file librarian. They are responsible for making sure all files are secure and properly returned.
4. Use better passwords. Never use just a single word, and avoid using children's' or pets' names. It's also generally a good idea to use a combination of letters and numbers when creating passwords.
5. Make sure your WiFi has a secure fire wall.
6. Secure your laptops, particularly when they are in cars. Three large companies, GMAC, Wells Fargo and Ameriprise, have each reported that employees had cars stolen. In each case there was a laptop in the car with 200,000+ names and corresponding account information on the laptops.
7. Educate everyone in your office about the dangers of ID theft and what they can do to keep your clients' information safe.
8. Spend time telling your clients what you are doing to safeguard their information. They may not ask you about it, but they are concerned. Putting your clients fears to rest can be good for them and good for your business.

Republican Sandra Stewart wasn't surprised that Democrat Bobby Henon cruised to victory last week in the 6th Councilmanic District race.
"I saw the writing on the wall a while ago," Stewart said.
Stewart, a neighborhood activist from Tacony, was unopposed in the GOP primary. She was one of only two Republicans seeking the nine Democrat-held district seats.
Meanwhile, Henon, political director of the powerful International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 98, raised a ton of money and secured the endorsements of a majority of ward leaders in handily defeating banker and former School Reform Commission member Marty Bednarek in the primary last May.
Stewart was frustrated that Democratic elected officials would recognize Henon as the next councilman at several non-political events.
A married mother of two young children, she works as an intern at an interior design firm.
Democrats hold a large voter-registration advantage in the district, and Stewart acknowledged that she had thought about dropping out of the race, but said she is no quitter.
"I wanted to win," she said.
Still, she's glad the race is over.
Stewart spent most of election night at the United Republican Club, though she did stop by the victory party of City Commissioner-elect Al Schmidt and attended a reception for David Oh, who edged Al Taubenberger for the final at-large Council seat.
Final unofficial results showed Henon capturing 72 percent of the vote, easily winning all nine wards. The district stretches from Port Richmond to Torresdale and includes portions of Oxford Circle, Castor Gardens and Bell's Corner.
During the day, Stewart read a quote from Henon on philly.com that he would win with 80 percent of the vote.
"He barely beat me 70-30," she said.
While Stewart isn't looking forward to another run for office, she would like to join Republican ward leaders in going door to door to register new Republican voters.
As for Henon, she hopes he opens his promised district office along the struggling Torresdale Avenue commercial corridor.
Henon, who rented the Mayfair Diner for his celebration, would like to open an office sometime around Jan. 2, when he'll take the oath of office.
"I'm going to have one as quickly as I possibly can," he said.
Henon has already signed a petition in support of Darrell Clarke as the next president of Council, replacing the retiring Anna Verna. During the primary and general elections, Henon vowed not to support Marian Tasco for the presidency because she was seeking re-election despite being enrolled in the Deferred Retirement Option Plan.
Clarke, who has represented the 5th district since 2000, reportedly has commitments from at least nine members, enough to make him president when the new Council convenes.
"I think Darrell's fair," Henon said. "He obviously has the experience."
The outgoing 6th district councilwoman, Joan Krajewski, ran again in 2007 despite being enrolled in DROP. Krajewski, first elected in 1979, declined to seek a ninth four-year term. She initially backed state Rep. Mike McGeehan as her successor, but he decided against running. She backed Bednarek in the primary.
Henon is looking forward to marching in Sunday's Mayfair-Holmesburg Thanksgiving Parade and hiring office staff.
"I'm looking to assemble my team," he said.
The councilman-elect is not sure which committee he'll get to chair, but he wants to focus on issues such as absentee landlords. He'll also put together a business advisory committee.
At the victory party, Henon was glad to meet passers-by who told him they want him to fight for the Northeast. He plans to stay in contact with constituents, perhaps by holding "Breakfast with Bobby" gatherings.
"I'm very excited. I'm going to be a full-time councilman," he said. "The district will be well-represented." ••

Mar 1, 2014
David Warner ensured Australia dominated the first session of the much-anticipated third Test against and South Africa. He drove and cut, pulled and punched with panache, and remained largely untroubled as he conjured an unbeaten 75 at over a-run-a-ball. Australia finished on 118 for one with Warner looking ominous in the serene presence of Alex Doolan.
Warner and Chris Rogers tore into Dale Steyn and Vernon Philander from the moment they set their feet on the ground, throwing their bats at almost everything. They picked out Steyn in particular, taking 17 off his first two overs as Graeme Smith had to take him off.
Morne Morkel started the fightback, bowling at a screaming pace and making the ball take off from a length. However, whenever he pitched anything up both Rogers and Warner were severe on them.
Smith brought on JP Duminy in the tenth over, but the ploy did not work: runs were scored at ease, and he was replaced by Kyle Abbott, playing only his second Test after his heroics against Pakistan last year.
Then Smith brought back Steyn to replace Morkel, and the great man struck with his third ball: the ball was not there to drive but Rogers still went for it, the edge flying to Smith at first slip. Smith took a sharp catch to his left.
Warner was duly rewarded with a fifty — albeit in an unconventional way: Warner pushed Steyn to mid-on, Philander threw the stumps down, and the ball ricocheted off the stumps though the vast acres of space at extra-cover. Not many people reach their fifties with fives!
One would have expected Warner to pull himself back a bit, but he kept on playing his strokes, playing an exquisite cover-drive off a length delivery from Steyn. Doolan hit a superb back-foot punch off Abbott before there was a loud appeal for leg-before: Smith did not review, and the replays suggested an inside edge. Doolan responded immediately by pulling Abbott to the fence.
Doolan justified the faith the selectors had shown in him by picking him ahead of Shaun Marsh. Philander tried to bounce him out, but the ball went way above AB de Villiers' head for five wides. Barring Morkel's first spell and a short burst from Abbott, the South African attack has looked too flat to create an impact of any sort.
Brief scores:
Australia 118 for 1 (David Warner 75*, Chris Rogers 25; Dale Steyn 1 for 39) vs South Africa.

Founded in 2007 by designer Karen Young, Hammocks & High Tea is a home décor company that creates luxurious eco-friendly everyday products infused with a modern Caribbean aesthetic. Influenced by the designer's South American upbringing, vivid colors and contemporary ethnic patterns permeate the collection of drawer liners, tea towels, pillows and other tabletop items.
The Spring/ Summer 2010 collection is inspired by the cultural blends that travel and trade can create and that can be found in patterns throughout the world. "The new designs embrace and meld the stories of each culture with a nod to African, Indian, and Portuguese," says Karen. "For instance, our Portuguese tile print decorates South America as well as Turkey, and we grounded the collection with a subtle infusion of African and Indian shapes." Each pattern forms a statement on it's own, but can also blend seamlessly into any decor.
The products employ a tropical color palette with hues such as turquoise, coral, mango and lime, and mellowed with indigo blue and sharkskin gray. The pillows, napkins and tea towels are digitally printed on 100% certified organic cotton with non-toxic water-based inks that contain no volatile compounds. The best-selling drawer liners are printed with soy-based inks onto 100% recycled paper and lightly scented in your choice of Rose Tea, French Lavender, Mandarin Jasmine, Coriander, Amber and Patchouli Rose.
Hammocks & High Tea also introduces cloth sachets and perfume boxes this spring. A sophisticated take on potpourri, each gorgeous laser-cut perfume box is filled with herbs and flowers. Designed to scent clothing and intimates, these boxes can be used anywhere for a lovely scent. The perfume boxes will be offered in: Amber/Balsam and Lavender/ Bergamot. Amber/Basam contains sweet spices, resins, and florals and is topped off with essential oil of peru balsam. Lavender/Bergamot is a light floral scent containing florals, including jasmine, and rosemary. All ingredients are 100% certified organic.
Cloth sachets are made with 100% certified organic cotton and will be available in Lavender and Lemon Verbana. Each sachet as a loop that makes it easy to use anywhere – from your closet to the car.
Prices range from $20 – $165. Hammocks & High Tea products can be found at various boutiques across the country as well as online at www.hammocksandhightea.com. For additional information, samples, or a catalogue, please contact Moderne Press at firstname.lastname@example.com or (510) 647-9761.

Do you want to make Ohio.com your homepage?
XOr, perhaps, Fractured Political Fairy Tales. I couldn't decide on the title.
U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald prosecuted the Lewis Scooter Libby case. That was the case where Dick Cheney's office orchestrated the outing of CIA agent, Valerie Plame. Cheney's office had Ms. Plame outed at the time to scare any other potential whistleblower's in the CIA, or other intelligence outfits, away from coming forward in 2003 to explain how Cheney had ginned up the fraudulent stories about Saddam Hussein and Iraq being an imminent danger to the U.S.
Fitzgerald, it was said at the time, was a "bulldog", having successfully prosecuted organized crime.
When Patrick Fitzgerald arrested former Illinois Governor, Rod Blagojevich in December, 2008....I took issue with not only the timing of the arrest, but also with Fitzgerald's rhetoric.....
Fitzgerald described the situation by saying: "We were in the middle of a corruption crime spree and we wanted to stop it."
U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald says the corruption charges against Gov. Blagojevich represent "a truly new low," and he says the allegations "would make Lincoln roll over in his grave.""This is a sad day for government," he said at a news conference with federal prosecutors to discuss the arrest of Blagojevich. "Gov. Blagojevich has taken us to a truly new low."
Fitzgerald called Blagojevich's actions in the last several weeks as "a political corruption crime spree."
Yesterday, Rod Blagojevich was found guilty on one count.....out of 24 counts brought against him.
One count.
Blago was found guilty of making a false statement to the FBI. Even that count is pretty weak tea. The jury was deadlocked on the other 23 charges. The judge declared a mistrial on those 23 counts. The U.S. prosecutor's office immediately announced that they would retry the case.
TPM calls the verdict a "huge defeat" for Patrick Fitzgerald. But then, Fitzgerald is the guy who permitted Karl Rove to come back and testify to the grand jury investigating the Plame case....5 times.....presumably to paper over the lies from the previous four testimonies. Fitzgerald is the guy who stated that there was a "dark cloud" hanging over the office of Vice President Dick Cheney over the Plame outing.....but bulldog or not.....Fitzgerald never went snarling after the architect of the Plame outing crime.
When Blago was arrested, I mentioned that it seemed like Fitzgerald was acting pre-emptively......before any crime was committed. George Bush and Dick Cheney convinced Americans in 2003 that pre-emptive wars.....the U.S. attacking another country BEFORE that country is an actual threat.....was the new way forward after 9-11, because
"everything had changed."
Patrick Fitzgerald, it was argued, arrested Blago pre-emptively, because Blago was about to sell the Senate seat vacated by President Obama. See...it was an emergency. Just like WMD in Iraq.
It's odd though. Old Abe was rolling in his grave because Governor Blago was in the midst of such an extensive crime spree.....so extensive and so egregious that Fitzgerald categorized it as a new low from government officials.
How egregious? How extensive?....
"We didn't even put a defense up, and the government could not prove its case," Blago said.
Fitzgerald's case against Governor Blagojevich was so overflowing with evidence of corruption and criminal scheming.....the U.S. prosecutor bemoaned that it marked a "new low" in government corruption.
Yet, when it came time to actually, you know, prosecute those "new low" crimes.....Blago didn't even have to put up a defense. That's how miserably weak Fitzgerald's case against Blago actually was.
Fitzgerald said something else back in December of 2008 when he arrested Governor Blagojevich. Something which led me at the time to speculate that Fitzgerald may have had other motives for arresting Blago when he did.
The head of the FBI office in Chicago said if Illinois isn't the most corrupt state in the United States, it's a strong competitor.
Reframe the timing. Barack Obama, Illinois Senator, was elected to the presidency the first week of November, 2008. Less than four weeks later, a U.S. prosecutor announced the worst elected-official-conducted crime spree in history. That official just happened to also be from Illinois..... Governor Rod Blagojevich. So bad was the crime spree by the Illinois Governor..... the same Illinois that President-elect Barack Obama hailed from.....that it marked a new low. So bad that it made Abe Lincoln, also from Illinois, roll over in his grave. So bad that the crime spree had to be pre-emptively interrupted.....or Obama's old seat would be tainted.
So bad that the Village immediately began asking the Very Serious and Professional question.....will this damage President Obama before he even takes office?
And yet.....so bad that Governor Blagojevich didn't even have to present a defense....so bad that the jury couldn't agree to convict Blago on even one of the original charges.
I still maintain today that Governor Blagojevich didn't do anything out of the ordinary for today's elected officials. Paying to play, influence peddling, bribes by other names, sweetheart deals, arm twisting, leveraging power........is what American elected officials do.
And any U.S. Attorney, bulldog or not, who tries to tell you otherwise, is simply putting on his own little personal, political theater.

QUAKERTOWN, Pa. (AP) -- Friends and neighbors were stunned and saddened by the deaths of four family members who appear to have died of carbon monoxide fumes that resulted from the husband's apparent suicide.
Bucks County District Attorney David Heckler said Tuesday night that a state police investigation indicates that Gary Reitnauer went to the garage of an adjacent home on the family's property on Monday and started the car following a disagreement with his wife, Michelle.
He said it is believed that Michelle Reitnauer and the family's two daughters tried to rescue him and were overcome by the fumes. Fire department rescue crews were unable to revive the family.
"Good man," a nephew, Rob Zern, told reporters as he left the home. "The family was trying to save each other and it didn't work out ... don't know what all went wrong, but it's a tragedy all around."
A neighbor described them as "just the sweetest family."

Tragic stupid double Darwin award. Killed himself and his progeny.
Only selfish people off themselves.
Something's not right here. Carbon Monoxide takes a while to kill you. Headache, dizziness and nausea occur way before death. Didn't they even think to open the garage door?
At high enough concentrations simply inhaling can cause you to blackout. I have a cousin who simply walked into a room under construction, took a breath and passed out.
garage door handle was knocked off. Still, it seems odd.
Article says he broke the handle off the garage door so it couldn't be opened. Wife tried to break out a window but was overcome by fumes. Girls each tried to get out for fresh air but neither made it far.
Must have been very high concentration. As the oxygen was consumed in the garage by the running engine, the engine would run richer and richer causing even more CO to be produced. A real tragedy.
That's what I thought too. According to Wikipedia, concentrations of CO over 12000 ppm will lead to unconsciousness within two or three breaths, and death within a few minutes.
Since it has a greater affinity for hemoglobin than oxygen does, dragging the victim to open air and rescue breathing is not going to help a whole lot.
Note to self - no closed space, bad air rescues. Call 911, break windows, open doors. Wait.
No kidding! Good advice. I'm pretty sure however that the only way to achieve those levels are the car/suicide scenario. Never seen anything even remotely close to that when I was doing heating service work. The products of combustion would have to be totally contained.
"Tragic stupid double Darwin award. Killed himself and his progeny."
FWIW regarding a phony award based on all phony stories, he would not be eligible, as he already procreated.
Not if his progeny dies along with him. Removed from the gene pool.
Bet the idiot didn't realize he had three people willing to risk death to try to save him. Sad.
this is so horrifyingly sad.....may God have mercy on his soul.....
I have a friends dad who started their car in the garage on a cold day, walked away for time then returned. Took a breath and passed out.
Mom noticed he was still home, went to the garage, saw him on the floor, tried to help but was overcome by fumes, too.
Tragic but it happens.
That reminds me of this story I posted 4 years ago...
Family of 3 found dead (Car left running in Garage)

They are usually very depressed.
Why didn't you say so?
That makes it OK then.
The two daughters were adopted from China.
Make it clear that anybody who commits suicide will be remembered with contempt, and you get less of it.
Evidently you prefer the former course of action.
My friend and his brothers (in school at the time) escaped the same fate only because the neighbors came by, peeked in a garage window, saw the bodies inside the garage, broke in to remove the poisonous gas and called the police.
Much too late however...
You seriously believe that someone who commits suicide gives a r@t's arse what others will remember of them?
There's yer sign!
It's all about you.
You make a living convincing people they're weak and need your empathy to survive... as long as they have good insurance policy.
Yeah, something about this narrative is off.
Ah, thanks. This would indicate eligibility then.
