Embrace and Kasabian are amongst the artists confirmed for a Christmas gig supporting homeless charity SHELTER.
XFM's Winter Wonderland takes place at the London Hammersmith Apollo on December 5 and also sees performances from The Zutons and The Departure.
Opening the night will be the winners of the Christian O'Connell School Of Rock competition, which culminates a month-long search for the best school rock band in the country.
The event will be hosted by XFM DJ's such as Christian O'Connell and Lauren Laverne, and will be broadcast live on the station.
Director of Shelter, Adam Sampson, said: "Over a million children throughout Britain will be waking up this Christmas in housing that most of us would struggle to call home. The grim reality of overcrowded or unfit housing, run down estates or emergency accommodation is that it wrecks people's lives and that's why we are hugely grateful to XFM for putting on XFM's Winter Wonderland to help us campaign to end bad housing for the next generation of children.
Last year's event, the XFM Winter Warmer, raised thousands of pounds for Shelter.

Lace is everywhere this season: as overlays on skirts, smart crisp collars on tailored shirts, unlined blouses (ooolala), and trims on pillows and curtains. As handweavers we have many choices to create our own beautiful lace fabrics. Over the next few blog posts, I'll touch on some of my favorites.
Leno is a finger-controlled weave and is a wonderful way to create stable open spaces in a weaving. Use it for curtains, a peek-a-boo blouse, or a trim on a placemat.

Universal's theme park business is hotter than a fire-breathing dragon. The chief executive officer of Universal's parent company, Comcast Corp., talked to analysts a little bit about it on Thursday. Cash flow has tripled since Comcast first started looking into the business, he said, and guest satisfaction is high because the parks are offering so many new attractions.

You still have Zoidberg.... You ALL have Zoidberg! (V) (;,,;) (V)
To be fair, I think the hotel room count was very right-sized before Harry Potter. It was not usually a big deal to get a room there, and there were always discounts and solid packages to be had. They've been pounding the local market with cheap stays at Cabana Bay, which I assume is just in the short term while they build awareness.
The big question Im waiting to be answered is will the new suites hotel get auto Universal Express like the original 3.
2020 Trips: WDW, Dollywood, CP, KI, Hershey, Dorney, SFGAdv, Canada's Wonderland, BGW, Holiday World, SDC, Universal Orlando, Sea World Orlando
I suspect that it will. They are extending the water taxi there. That was the big surprise to me... I didn't realize there was room between Cabana Bay and Royal Pacific.
There's only 77 suites out of 1000 rooms at Sapphire
falls. The price point for standard rooms is said to be between Cabana and RPR, I consider it unlikely to have the Express benefit.

Welcome to the Parallax Discussion Forums, sign-up to participate.
Hey Jon. If im looking at the schematic right. Each bank of buttons would have a 3.3V common wire. I wasn't planning on doing a
matrix, i was planning on each button going to its own pin. So, the first bank of buttons being pins 0-9, and the second bank of buttons being pins 10-19. Will this be O.K. I really appreciate your time. I hope my answers are making sense. I know you guys are taking your time to help me out. Thanks.

You can also easily clear the list and return to the front page.If you have food in "My Food list" and close the Food Composition Table page, the browser will remember your food the next time you enter the page.Macro nutrients will be showed automatically unless you have deselected these.
after parts that are usually not eaten, such as peel, pits and shell, have been removed.
The FCT is regularly updated as new food products are launched every year, and because ingredients in existing food products and methods of production change frequently. If the mistake is severe, the FCT has to be updated before the annual update.
You can get the right values for the nutrients you are looking for by clicking on the blue button "Select nutrients" at the top right corner of the table screen.
In the blue box that comes up you can click on the nutrients or groups of nutrients you are looking for, and press "Update table." The table will show the values of the nutrients you have chosen.
In addition, the table also provides nutritional values of a variety of prepared foods and dishes.
All values presented in the table refer to the content per 100 grams of an edible portion of the food, i.e.For example, searching for the word milk, you will get some hits in the group of milk and milk-based beverages, as well as some hits in other food groups.This is because the word "milk" is also included in the name of many breads, pancakes, etc.It is therefore an important tool in governmental food policy and management, education and public health promotion and for health workers and researchers.The table is also used by the food industry as the basis of nutrient declarations and in food production.It is also possible to search for a food product within a given group.

Individuals making use of the M11 between Stansted and the M25 in the months ahead will soon benefit from smoother journeys.
Highways England engineers are preparing to begin work on essential resurfacing for a 14-mile stretch of the M11 carriageway between junctions 6 and 8, which will get underway from December 7th.
The project aims to ensure safer and more reliable journeys for road users in the future and will result in a lower amount of wear and tear for regular travellers in the area.
Overnight closures for the M11 will be taking place each evening from 22:00 until 06:00 the following morning for the duration of the project. It will see closures for both northbound and southbound travellers and includes the M11-A120 link road.
Highways England project manager Jennie Fraser said: "This vital resurfacing work will not only improve safety but will provide road users with a better driving experience. The white lines will also be more visible, improving driver safety.
"We have planned this work carefully to minimise the inconvenience to road users, by carrying out work overnight when traffic flows are lowest and will suspend work during the Christmas period."
Ms Fraser added that motorists should be prepared for potential delays during the coming weeks as these essential works are carried out. It is therefore prudent for travellers to plan their journeys in advance and to allow extra time to reach their destination.
Clearly signposted diversions will be in place while overnight resurfacing works are carried out in the area, with travellers urged to keep abreast of local weather up-dates, which could have an impact on the timeline for completion of this expansive scheme.

Airbus Defense and Space, under contract with its affiliate Airbus DS Electronics and Border Security GmbH, will provide the TRS-3D Baseline D multi-mode radar (MMR) for the U.S. Coast Guard's ninth National Security Cutter (NSC).
The TRS-3D Baseline D, designated AN/SPS-75, utilizes gallium nitride (GaN) technology to deliver traditional TRS-3D robust performance while improving reliability and options for future development.
Airbus TRS-3D radars have been aboard every NSC since the program's inception.
"The AN/SPS-75 is the right choice to meet Coast Guard requirements for a multi-mode radar," said Mike Cosentino, President of Airbus Defense and Space, Inc.
"It is currently meeting operational requirements and is consistent with Coast Guard investments in training infrastructure ashore, as well as with their existing sustainment program."
The contract to provide the AN/SPS-75 MMR is with Lockheed Martin, with whom Airbus has worked to provide radars for all prior NSCs.
Lockheed Martin's intimate knowledge and experience with AN/SPS-75 technology enabled them to successfully integrate the radar with all systems required by the NSC program, and that experience carries forward into the current contract.
Since its introduction in 1995, the radar became a global sales leader with more units being sold than any radar in its class. In the U.S. market, it is in the U.S. Navy inventory aboard Freedom-variant Littoral Combat Ships and in the Coast Guard inventory aboard all NSCs, as well as at the service's shore-based training center in Petaluma, Calif.
Its design has matured over the years to meet evolving customer requirements and keep pace with advances in technology.
Employing state of the art GaN technology, the TRS-3D is a three-dimensional, multi-mode naval radar for air and surface surveillance, target acquisition, self-defense, gunfire support and aircraft control.
It automatically detects and tracks all types of air and sea targets, alleviating crew workload requirements. Life cycle affordability is further enhanced by the reliability of the AN/SPS-75's solid-state system design, keeping maintenance costs low and further contributing to lower lifecycle costs.
To learn more about the TRS-3D multi-mode naval radar system, visit Airbus Defense and Space, Inc., at the 2017 Surface Navy Association's National Symposium in Arlington, Va., Jan. 10 to 12.
Legend-class National Security Cutters for US Coast Guard
(To Learn More, view the launch of the seventh USCG National Security Cutter Kimball (WMSL 756) on Saturday, Dec. 17 by Ingalls Shipbuilding at its shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi.)
The ninth National Security Cutter will be build by Huntington Ingalls Industries, Ingalls Shipbuilding division following their receipt in December, of a $486 million fixed-price incentive contract from the U.S. Coast Guard.
"With the experience and knowledge our shipbuilders bring to this program, I am confident NSC 9 will be another great ship and continue the great success on this program," said Ingalls Shipbuilding President Brian Cuccias.
"These ships remain in high demand by our Coast Guard customer, and we look forward to delivering another quality NSC to help them accomplish their vital homeland security missions."
NSCs are the flagships of the Coast Guard's cutter fleet, designed to replace the 12 Hamilton-class high-endurance cutters, which entered service during the 1960s.
These ships are scheduled to be delivered in 2018 and 2019, respectively.
"We are extremely proud of the quality of the NSCs we've built for the U.S. Coast Guard," said Derek Murphy, Ingalls' NSC program manager.
"As we continue to be the sole builder in this class, the benefits of serial production are apparent: technologically advanced, dependable ships that are built at cost and on schedule."
Legend-Class National Security Cutters are the flagships of the U.S. Coast Guard. They are the most technologically advanced ships in the Coast Guard's fleet, with capabilities for maritime homeland security, law enforcement and national security missions. NSCs are 418 feet long with a 54-foot beam and displace 4,500 tons with a full load.
They have a top speed of 28 knots, a range of 12,000 miles, an endurance of 60 days and a crew of 120.
The Legend class of cutters plays an important role in enhancing the Coast Guard's operational readiness, capacity and effectiveness at a time when the demand for their services has never been greater.

Yesterday I got to spend an hour holding this little fellow. Oh my goodness. What a wonder it is to see your children's children. And to hold a little baby so close and watch the expressions on his tiny face.
Today the anxiety and desperation have returned with a vengeance. My hands are perspiring and shaking. Work e-mails are coming in fast and furious. I don't even know how to make them stop pinging on my phone. I also don't know how to ignore them. So I am answering them. I used to say I defaulted to "no." Apparently as I have descended into this state I am in, I have unlearned this.
And now the guardedness – I want to erase this in case the _a_a jackass comes by to tell me to work the steps to get out of the depression – as if I have never done this work. As if I have never been the one pounding on the big book and saying – "do what it says. Between the Capital letter and the period." Taking probably close to a hundred, if not more, women through the steps, exactly as written in the big book. As if depression were a character defect, not an illness. Would he say the same to someone with cancer? Heart disease? And in case you do come by, you may not realize it, but I spam all of your comments. I hope to God that in my big book thumping days I never acted like such a neanderthal with the reading comprehension of a gnat. It makes me cringe to think I may have.
I started this blog in the beginning of this depressive episode. I wanted to have the freedom to write honestly about my journey through depression. I wanted to remove the constraints that bind when you are writing as a member of the fellowship. I wanted to write about God. With a capital G. I wanted to write about my faith. I wanted to quote the Bible. In the beginning I didn't even use the name of the fellowship because I don't want "those people" coming here. The people from google searches. I look at my site meter to make sure they aren't coming. I wanted my old readers, but not people looking for an _a_a Blog. That's what my old one was, and it was ungodly the amount of negative attention it garnered. I am not up for the job of being an apologist for it anymore.
So here I am – it feels like I am on the precipice of something. I don't know what. I have been seeking another job for almost a year. I knew this job was wrong from me from the start. I am 10 months away from being able to collect a small pension. I am a few years away from being able to collect a larger pension. I have huge obligations that I sincerely have no idea how I will ever repay. I have a moderate mortgage, and a relatively large car payment. I cannot just quit my job. But I don't know that I will be able to keep it either.
Last night I talked to my sponsor on the phone. She again told me "it will all be worth it when you retire." Finally in frustration I told her "I am 61 years old, I am not able to retire. You were 62 when you retired, remember?" She was shocked, and said she had no idea I was that old. Holy crap. This woman has been my sponsor for 20 years, she always knew I am 11 years younger than her – both in years and sobriety. It is so so so so sad to watch a person lose what they knew.
OK, there is no point in writing this, I am getting more unhappy by doing so. I am going to force myself to get on the treadmill and get some exercise (it is only 19 degrees outside).
We do not pray in order to improve our talents, to develop more clearly an intellectual synthesis, or widen our culture, religious or otherwise. We pray in order to tell God once again that we love him and know that he loves us, and to relate ourselves to the plan of mercy that is his.
We run still greater risks in the realm of sensibility, and in believing that our prayer has value only when we have "felt" something. The modern world takes special interest in "experiences," descriptions, states of the soul; there is a kind of cult for everything that can yield some kind of "interior witness." We delight in working out a projection of ourselves that arises from the senses…
Saint Paul speaks of "groanings" (Rom 8:26) or of a "cry" (Gal 4:6). What is important is not our experience but the gift we make of ourselves. We should enter into prayer, not to receive, but to give, to give ourselves and lose ourselves. And if friendship with God is to remain pre-eminent in our prayer, we must enter into prayer in order to give ourselves as a free gift, with the knowledge that we may not always really give what we are giving, and yet without being concerned about what we are giving. — Father Bernard Bro, OP

Annnnnd, exhale. There is something very calming about this work. All of these pieces are by Portland based artist Braeden Cox, from her series titled "Other Worlds". Sigh. Yep, these all look like really nice other worlds to be in right this very minute. Here's to a quiet, peaceful weekend.

Less than a month after his shockingly bigoted column about diversity on Team USA at the 2018 Olympics was deleted and disowned by Fox News, John Moody, the network's executive vice president and executive editor is gone from the network.
You know something has to be beyond over-the-top bigoted for Fox News to find it offensive but Moody's FoxNews.com column fit the bill. Here's an excerpt:
Unless it's changed overnight, the motto of the Olympics, since 1894, has been "Faster, Higher, Stronger." It appears the U.S. Olympic Committee would like to change that to "Darker, Gayer, Different." If your goal is to win medals, that won't work.
A USOC official was quoted this week expressing pride (what else?) about taking the most diverse U.S. squad ever to the Winter Olympics. That was followed by a, frankly, embarrassing laundry list of how many African-Americans, Asians and openly gay athletes are on this year's U.S. team. No sport that we are aware of awards points – or medals – for skin color or sexual orientation.
The column caused such an outcry that Fox removed it from its website, claiming, it "does not reflect views or values of Fox News."
Now, just after the Olympics have ended, Moody has left Fox News. According to CNN, his departure has nothing to do with the column or the disappointing medal count for Team USA. CNN reports:
A person close to the situation said Moody had planned on retiring before his recent column drew outrage.
Though he retained the title until his recent exit, people familiar with his role said it was largely ceremonial and that he had little power in recent years.

Facebook Cherishing GIF Popularity with New In-App GIF Creation Tool
It's an open truth that GIFs are much adored on the internet. Its popularity has forced many leading social platforms including Facebook and WhatsApp to incorporate the support for GIFs into them. But Facebook now believes that just a mere inspiration isn't satisfying the users.
As a result, the company is planning to roll out new GIF creation tools that will let users create their own GIFs than the ones available in third party libraries. Facebook's GIF creation tool is similar to the service offered by some third-party apps, which lets users create GIFs using their smartphone cameras.
The experimental service is now live on iOS and a few users have already been selected automatically to test of the app. You can check your eligibility by simply tapping the in-app camera of Facebook on an iOS device. If selected, you would see a new GIF title along with Normal.
Tapping on the GIF would obviously create looping animated images which you can share through the social platform. Users will also be able to add several photo effects and frames that have been introduced by Facebook dedicatedly for the new GIF creation tool. Apart from sharing it through Story or timeline, users can also decide to save the GIFs to their device so as to use it anywhere else.
There is no word on when the GIF creation tool will be made available to the entire public. At present, there's also no info about an Android version of the tool. Much of its occurrence will depend on the outcome of the testing, which we believe will be receiving a huge embrace from the tested users.

A Christmas Carol
Nick Page and Marina Santee present "A Christmas Carol". Spotlight retells this famous Christmas story by Charles Dickens.

'You will be troubled by three spirits! Without their visits you cannot hope to avoid the path...'

Over 150 years ago, an English writer named Charles Dickens wrote a story for Christmas time. It is called 'A Christmas Carol'. It is a work of fiction - that is, it is not a true story. However, Dickens liked to use fiction to tell something of the teachings of Jesus Christ. Dickens said:
Voice 3
'I like to quietly lead the reader to those teachings - as the great starting place of moral goodness.'
Voice 1
In today's Spotlight, Marina Santee tells Dickens' story 'A Christmas Carol'.
Marina Santee
It was the night before Christmas. White snow covered the streets of London. Everyone seemed happy... except for one man, Ebenezer Scrooge.
'Good evening Mr. Scrooge! Happy Christmas to you!'
Scrooge turned to the man. 'Happy Christmas? Bah humbug!', he said, 'What do you have to be happy about? You are poor! You are a year older and no richer. Leave me alone. I do not celebrate Christmas!'
The Christmas singers stopped quickly as old Scrooge got nearer. His long thin body bent over as he walked. Anyone who got in his way was sorry. They met with Scrooge's red eyes and poisonous words. Scrooge had no time for poor or needy people. He just wished that the poor people would die and decrease the population! He had only one love - money. And he did not care that it was the night before Christmas...
Scrooge walked home quickly through the dark streets. Inside, he lit a small fire. But the cold air just did not seem to get warm. Then Scrooge heard a strange sound. What was it? The sound got louder and louder. The door started to move. Scrooge began shaking with fear. What was happening?
Suddenly the door opened. And in came ... what? A man? A being? A ... a spirit? The spirit had the face of Jacob Marley. Marley and Scrooge had been in business together. Both men had loved money - and neither would help the poor. But Marley had died, this very day, seven years ago! What did he want with Scrooge now? The spirit spoke.
'I have come to warn you Scrooge. I was like you, I cared only for myself and money. And now I carry these heavy chains wherever I go. They are my punishment. But your chains will be much longer, Scrooge. You must change your ways and become a good man. Three spirits will visit you in the coming nights. The first will come tonight when the clock strikes one.'
Then the spirit floated away. Scrooge ran to his bed in fear. Maybe sleep would give him rest from his troubled mind.
Scrooge woke suddenly. He sensed something by his bed. He turned to look. It was the strangest thing he had ever seen. It had white hair like an old man. But its face was clear like a young child. A bright golden light shone from the middle of its head.
'What do you want with me?' Scrooge asked the strange spirit.
'I am the Spirit of Christmas Past.' 'I will show you your past, and help you remember the things you have forgotten. Follow me.'
The Spirit took Scrooge back to years before. Scrooge saw a young boy, alone. The boy was waiting for his family and friends. But they never came. Scrooge knew that boy's face well. It was him, Scrooge! A tear fell from the old man's eye as he remembered the pain of his lonely childhood.
The Spirit led Scrooge to another time and place. This time Scrooge saw himself as a young man. He saw a beautiful woman - his wife. He remembered her sadly. She had left him, because he had loved money more than he had loved her.
'Spirit!', he said, 'Please take me to another place. It is too painful for me to remember her.'
They left the place, and when Scrooge woke up he was in his bed as before.
Another hour, another Spirit. 'I am the Spirit of Christmas Present.', it said. The Spirit transported Scrooge to the home of the Bob Cratchit. Cratchit was a worker in Scrooge's office. Scrooge made Cratchit work hard, and for little money. The Cratchits were a poor family, but Scrooge noticed how happy they were as they celebrated Christmas. But then Scrooge noticed Bob's sick child - Tiny Tim. Scrooge was troubled and asked, 'Spirit, will this child live?'
'He will not live if the future does not change what you see' answered the Spirit.
'No, no' said Scrooge, 'Oh no, kind Spirit! Say he will survive'. But the Spirit disappeared.
Scrooge looked up. He saw a dark spirit - the Spirit of the Future. He feared this spirit the most. What would he see?
The Spirit transported Scrooge once again to the Cratchit's house. Time had passed, and now this house was filled with sadness. Tiny Tim's place was empty. The family were crying. The boy was dead. Scrooge looked away in sadness and horror.
Then the Spirit of the Future took Scrooge to another place. Scrooge saw people talking about a man who had died.
'No-one will remember him', one said.
'What will happen to all his money?' another asked.
Scrooge wondered 'Who was this man?'
The dark spirit lifted its thin finger toward the place where the man's body was buried.
Scrooge read the writing on the grey stone. It read, 'Ebenezer Scrooge.'
Scrooge cried 'Please! I will change! I don't want to die yet... not like this! Please...'
But the spirit had gone. Scrooge opened his eyes in fear. He was back in his room? He was not dead. He was alive! He jumped out of bed. He ran across the room and opened the window. It was morning. He shouted into the cold winter air: 'I'm alive!.
Immediately, Scrooge sent food to Bob's house. Scrooge thought, 'Tiny Tim will eat well. I will make sure of it.'
Quickly Scrooge put on his clothes and went outside. Soft white snow was falling. He ran through the streets and shouted loudly, 'Happy Christmas!'
People looked at him strangely. Was this Scrooge? Scrooge ran to the poor house and gave the people his money. He was alive! He had a second chance. And he was going to use it. For the first time in years he felt happiness. Amazed, people watched as old Scrooge ran happily through the snow covered streets.
And what of Tiny Tim? Well, he did not die - and Scrooge became like a second father to him. And Tiny Tim has the last words of this Christmas story. He said 'God bless us, every one!'

A good story for me. God belss anybody if you believe
this is great story, it is not only description about religion, it is writen for humanity story!
On Christmas day we celebrate the event of the birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God to come to earth to be a human to give us salvation. He lived with humans, shared human life with us and died for us. We are called to live a loving life. We are called to be perfect. We open our heart to receive Jesus Christ to come to the life of each of us. Christmas comes. Let's be glad. We do not let our difficulties or our properties or other things make us heavy. We hope we will receive great favour of salvation. We pray for favours for our lives. We pray for favours for our faith lives. Jesus Christ is present in our lives. Jesus Christ is present in our many challenge having lives. We accept any challenges in our faith lives.
The very beautiful story. Every time when I listen it I became happy for this Scrooge. )))
When we give away something for helping a poor people, we will be receiving more than you gave. This is a present from GOD.
We can not bring anything after die, why we do not use whatever you have to help another people around us?
I never heard this story before, This is the massage, the more you give, the more you get, Gob bless you if you give tho the poor and the others live around you.
Dear Marina Santee and Nick Page
My name is Severino Ramos and I am from Brasil. No, I have not heard this story before. I think this is a reflected story so the Scrooge thought for a minute and gave his money for poor people to celebrate the Christmas Day. We know that we cannot give our moneyto everybody because we need it to survive and to buy our support to live. Also, we got it with hard work. However, we should not consider the money as the most important thing in our life because there are other importants thing in our life to enjoy them. Finally, my favorite Holiday is the Christmas Day and everything about Christmas Time. Thank you very much. This is an interesting story. I loved it. Merry Christmas? Happy Christmas to you.
All the best,
Severino Ramos
I did not hear about this story.
I think that the message of this story is that the God can change us by Holy Spirit.
I do not have a holiday story.
God bless you & Merry Christmas.
I've never heard this story before, but I liked it now. Thank you a lot! This story is about importance of goodness. When you make happy other people, you make more happy yourself. God bless us, everyone! Merry Christmas!
I never heard this story before but its message is clear for me: who has an ass has fear. Scrooge took his big lesson and changed his way of life. Nowadays is time to read or listen stories like that.

Roll your own MAMP development environment
Pre-packaged MAMP, LAMP, and WAMP stacks have been common on developer's computers for years. Such packages are convenient because they provide a single-step install process, with all components in the server stack preconfigured to work together, and off you go.
I've learned from experience that these packages have ways of making you pay for the convenience you enjoyed up front. If you have ever needed to:
- Install a PHP extension that wasn't already provided in your stack
- Run a specific version of PHP or MySQL
- Install PEAR packages
- Install SSL certificates
- Run command-line PHP scripts
…you may have encountered some ugly, time-wasting surprises along the way.
It pays to know your environment inside and out. Today, it is quite easy to roll your own Apache-MySQL-PHP stack on Windows, Linux, or even Mac OS X.
Getting started
This tutorial will show you how to roll your own MAMP stack with Mac OS X 10.7+ (Lion), Apache 2, MySQL 5.5, and PHP 5.4. If you wish to use different versions, a similar procedure should work but the specifics will probably vary.
For reference, I have provided a reference script which was the basis for this blog post: build-mamp-osx.sh.
We will perform the following steps:
- Install dependencies needed for PHP
- Compile PHP from scratch
- Install MySQL
- Configure PHP, MySQL, and Apache to run virtual hosts
1. Install PHP dependencies
- Verify that you have the latest Apple XCode from the App Store. If you do not already have XCode, you may need to upgrade to the latest OS X.
Download and install XQuartz from http://xquartz.macosforge.org/. After installing XQuartz, run the following:
sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer ln -s /opt/X11 /usr/X11

- Install Homebrew and run
brew doctorto verify that it is working correctly.
Using Homebrew, install the following libraries:
brew install libpng brew install libjpeg brew install gd brew install pcre brew install libxml2 brew install mcrypt brew install icu4c brew install wget

- Install the IMAP-2007f library:
wget ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/imap/imap-2007f.tar.gz tar zxvf imap-2007f.tar.gz cd imap-2007f make osx EXTRACFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe -no-cpp-precomp" sudo cp c-client/.h /usr/local/include/ sudo cp c-client/.c /usr/local/lib sudo cp c-client/c-client.a /usr/local/lib/libc-client.a cd ..

2. Compile PHP
Download and extract the latest PHP 5.4 source tarball from http://php.net/downloads.php:
wget http://us3.php.net/get/php-5.4.9.tar.gz/from/this/mirror tar xzvf php-5.4.9.tar.gz cd php-5.4.9

Configure the makefile:
./configure \ –prefix=/usr \ –mandir=/usr/share/man \ –infodir=/usr/share/info \ –sysconfdir=/private/etc \ –with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs \ –enable-cli \ –with-config-file-path=/etc \ –with-libxml-dir=/usr \ –with-openssl=/usr \ –with-kerberos=/usr \ –with-zlib=/usr \ –enable-bcmath \ –with-bz2=/usr \ –enable-calendar \ –with-curl=/usr \ –enable-dba \ –enable-exif \ –enable-ftp \ –with-gd \ –enable-gd-native-ttf \ –with-icu-dir=/usr/local \ –with-iodbc=/usr \ –with-ldap=/usr \ –with-ldap-sasl=/usr \ –with-libedit=/usr \ –enable-mbstring \ –enable-mbregex \ –with-mysql=mysqlnd \ –with-mysqli=mysqlnd \ –without-pear \ –with-pdo-mysql=mysqlnd \ –with-mysql-sock=/var/mysql/mysql.sock \ –with-readline=/usr \ –enable-shmop \ –with-snmp=/usr \ –enable-soap \ –enable-pcntl \ –enable-sockets \ –enable-sysvmsg \ –enable-sysvsem \ –enable-sysvshm \ –with-tidy \ –enable-wddx \ –with-xmlrpc \ –with-iconv-dir=/usr \ –with-xsl=/usr \ –enable-zip \ –with-imap=/usr/local/imap-2007 \ –with-kerberos \ –with-imap-ssl \ –enable-intl \ –with-pcre-regex \ –with-pgsql=/usr \ –with-pdo-pgsql=/usr \ –with-freetype-dir=/usr/X11 \ –with-jpeg-dir=/usr \ –with-png-dir=/usr/X11

Verify that this completed without errors before proceeding. If you have installed the dependencies listed in the previous step, there should be none.

* Compile and install the PHP binary:

make sudo make install

* Enable `mod_php` and virtual hosts in your Apache configuration by adding the following line to your `/etc/apache2/httpd.conf` file:

LoadModule php5_module /usr/local/Cellar/php54/5.4.9/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

* Restart apache:
*
sudo apachectl restart

## 3. Install MySQL
1. Download and install the latest MySQL 5.5 Community Server binary (DMG package). Within the DMG archive, be sure to install all three components: the MySQL package, the MySQL.prefPane, and the MySQLStartupItem package.
2. Create your MySQL configuration file:

sudo cp /usr/local/mysql/support-files/my-small.cnf /etc/my.cnf

3. Edit your `./profile` file and add the `/usr/local/mysql/bin` directory to the path. You will need to restart Terminal for this to take effect.

export PATH=/usr/local/mysql/bin:/usr/local/opt/php54/bin:$PATH

4. Restart MySQL using the System Preferences MySQL pane.
5. Verify that MySQL is running on localhost:

mysql -u root

It is recommended that you set a root password at this point.

## Adding Virtual Hosts
Once your MAMP stack in set up, here is how to create virtual hosts:
1. Add your virtual host domain name to the `/etc/hosts` file (requires Administrator or `sudo` access):

127.0.0.1 helloworld.dev

2. Add a virtual host block to your `/private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf` file (requires Administrator or `sudo` access):

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName helloworld.dev
DocumentRoot "/Users/jhill/Sites/helloworld.dev"
<Directory "/Users/jhill/Sites/helloworld.dev">
Options Includes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory> </VirtualHost>

3. Restart Apache:

sudo apachectl restart

4. Add an `index.php` file in your virtual host document root, `~/Sites/helloworld.dev/`:

<?php echo 'Hello, world!';

5. Browse to **http://helloworld.dev/** in your web browser.
## Conclusion
Building your own MAMP stack with Mac OS X 10.7+, MySQL 5.5, and PHP 5.4 is easier than you think, and offers the advantages of total flexibility, less "magic", better reliability, and a greater understanding of where things are and how to fix them if they break.
Did you try it? How did it go?

Manhattan's $90 Million Townhouse
This place is ridiculously big, it looks like Queen Elizabeth should be staying here instead of some yuppie. *shrugs*
This French Gothic townhouse in Manhattan has just hit the market for a whopping $90 million, and that makes it New York's priciest pad to date. The 35-foot-wide townhouse at 4 East 80th Street was built in 1916 for the middle daughter Helena (Mrs. Charles) McCann of American retail tycoon Frank Winfield Woolworth. Late gym mogul Lucille Roberts bought the townhouse in 1995 for $6 million. Now, her family has put the home on the market. If you think the asking price is too much, you can also rent it for a cool $210,000 a month.

The other day we came across a fantastic video of our friend Marcelo Burlon from Milan. Since The New York Times did not allow embedding, we had to ask him to upload it for us, so that we can share with you. Entitled "Marcelo Does Milan", the ex magazine editor, turned stylist, DJ, party organizer (Pink Is Punk), blogger digs deep into the Milanese fashion scene.

ESPN's "30 for 30" documentary series was must-watch television in 2010. When it came out that more documentaries were going to be made in 2011 following a similar style, people naturally got excited. When it came out that the first 2011 documentary would focus on the Fab Five, people got really excited.
Promotion for the Fab Five documentary kicked into high gear in February. Reviews started coming out last week that it was, like most of the "30 for 30" docs, must-see TV. When it finally aired on Sunday night after the NCAA basketball tournament selection show, viewers realized that the hype was there for a reason — it was that good. The documentary provided a history lesson on the Fab Five, both on and off the basketball court, and gave us a glimpse into their world in the early 90s.
Between the excitement for the movie, the positive reviews, the hype and the very good time slot, the Fab Five documentary ended up garnering 2.7 million viewers. This made it the most viewed documentary in ESPN history, which includes all 30 of the docs aired last year. That is a pretty remarkable achievement, and it shows that even two decades later, the Fab Five still has drawing power.

How do you make your story longer? from writing
How do you get your word count up? from writing
>I realize I'm a underwriter and was hoping for my story to be at least 50,000 words but that didnt go as planned.
First ask yourself:
If you were planning on publishing a 50,000 words "novel" because NaNoWriMo lied to you told you 50k was a novel. Stop yourself right now. Go get a copy of the Writer's Market (the directory of publishers) and start reading publisher guidelines.
The first thing you will notice with every publisher is the big bold font which reads:
Some things to consider, if you are planning to publish. The publishing industry has standards and they don't give a rats ass how much NaNoWriMo lies to you, those industry standards are these:
Some publishers consider what they call "light novels" which are 90,000 words.
So... if you set the 50,000 word goal because NaNoWriMo lied to you, know that as a general rule, publishers, agents, and career authors consider NaNoWriMo and it's members to be ill informed idiots at best, and scam artists spreading mass miss-information to new and impressionable writers at worst. And if you send them a 50,000 word "novel" to publish, they'll know immediately you didn't do any research into the publishing industry and you'll be added to the list of authors that get automatic rejects regardless of what they send.
The bulk of publishers won't have anything to do with anyone who writes 50,000 word "novels" regardless of if it was a NaNoWriMo story or not. NaNoWriMo and it's cult of 50k "novels" is seen as the laughing stock in the professional world of publishing.
A lot of young writers have had their hopes and dreams of becoming published, crushed and shattered by snark mouthed editors of big publishing houses who called them every bad name under the sun.
Check the NaNoWriMo forums every March, and you'll see the mass hoards of tens of thousands of WriMo's asking NaNo the same question: "Why did you lie to us? I tried to publish this and was told I was stupid for thinking 50k was a novel. Editors are mean. Publishers hate NaNo. Why did no one tell me? They said NaNoWriMo is a black spot on my career and I'll never get published with a big house if I let it be publicly known I wrote a NaNoNovel! Why did no one tell me? Why wasn't I told 120k is a novel! NaNoWriMo why did you lie to me?"
You have to watch the forums fast too - those threads get shot down and deleted minutes after they are posted and the members who started them banned. The NaNoWriMo mods are fierce at protecting their delusions that 50k is a novel.
Try Googling NaNo Blogs... you'll find thousands of members who regret ever seeing NaNoWriMo citing it ruined their chances of ever getting published.
NaNoWriMo is a good tool for getting your draft written, but that's all it is. Don't rely on it to give you honest or accurate advice on what a novel is or how to get published. What publishers want and what NaNo says publishers want are to very different things.
If you think you need to add more to make it a novel... well, you need a hell of a lot more words then 50,000 to be considered a novel.
That said...
There are publishers for everything.
If your story is under 50,000 words, then seek out magazines and anthologies to submit it too. Be sure to read the guidelines. Some only want certain word counts and your story may be too long or too short depending on what they are looking for.
If you were aiming at a "novel" publisher. Well, you have a LOT of writing ahead of you because, no professional in the industry is going to give you a second glance until that story is minimum 120,000 words long.
Now, ask yourself another question:
Is your story actually finished? Are you happy with the characters, plot, dialogue, etc just the way they are right now? If so, then, why add more?
If the story is finished and you are happy with the characters as is and the plot orks and everything is as it should be, then you have no need to add more words.
However, if you story is finished and you have this sense of guilt or depression or jealousy or anger because of the wordcount itself, well, that's something you probably want to see a psychologist or psychiatrist about, because likely it is something serious, health wise going on and has nothing to do with your story and it's word count at all.
Do you feel you need to add more words because you have some sense of failure and not writing a novel? Are you feeling that you are worthless for only writing a short story? If so, this is a very bad reason to be adding words. Sadly this is something I hear so many writers say over and over again. They get down on themselves saying short story writers are hacks and pine for some mythical prestige they think novelists have.
If you are thinking that way, then stop it right now. That's a one way road to depression. It's unhealthy, and it's just not true. Novel writers are no better or worse then short story writers. Some of the most famous authors on the planet wrote primarily short stories: Edgar Allan Poe, Mark Twain, H.P.Lovecraft, H.G.Wells, Ernest Hemingway...
If you think you have to reach 50,000 word out of some sense of competition and trying to keep up with some other writer... don't. This is also a bad reason to add words. That is called jealousy. There are dozens of cases in the past 4 years of authors who felt they couldn't compete with another author's word count, so they hunted down said author and murdered them.
Don't Become one of THOSE writers who cares more about what other authors write then what you write. Nothing good ever comes of it.
Don't add words just for the sake of adding words. That never goes well in the end.
Reasons to add words:
All of those things are GOOD reasons to keep writing and add more words.
Let's move on to your exact question:
How do I do this?
For me, it depends on the story and the reason I'm adding words.
I tend to write to the extremes. Either the story ends at under 30,000 words or it ends at close to 400,000 words. I don't know why. It's just how I write. The story is either very short or very long and never in between. Go figure.
Often, with my stories, I find that I'll have this space where the story went from Point A to Point C and completely missed Point B. This results in a plot hole in the middle and loss ends at the end. In other words the story will go like this:
Do you see what is missing there? The "hero's journey" is completely not there.
It should have gone like this:
It's called "The Roller Coaster Effect" of giving the main character one big problem to solve, but then tossing in lots of little side problems that keep preventing them from reaching their goal.
If you are writing a short story, then the first list is fine. It's direct and move from beginning to end with no sub-plots.
But if you are writing a novel, the second list is essential to keep the story moving, and keep it interesting. sub-plots are a required part of writing a novel. Sub-plots keep the action moving forward. Sub-Plots give your characters other things to think about besides the main quest.
In my experience, if the story is too short, it's always because I neglected to add interesting sub-plots and side quests for my characters.
The longer the story, the more piles of trouble you need to heap in your hero's path.
A thing I like to do is use writing prompts and random generators to throw completely random, totally unexpected things in my character's way. r/writingprompts , the Dares Generator, Chaotic Shiny, and Seventh Sanctum are great for this.
For example in one novel, I had this long scene of them just travelling from one town to the next and nothing happening. It was okay, but it was also a place that I could make better and expand the word count at the same time. I took a random generator, and got the challenge to "add HellHounds to the story".
So I take that travel scene between the two towns and add 3 random Hellhound to it, that jump out of the bushes at them and attack them. Next thing I know the main character has got a bite wound on his leg and he's pretending it's okay, but it's really not, and by nightfall he's getting to weak to travel, so suddenly my story takes a different side turn, as they have to find medical help, and end up in this village (which I also now had to add to the story) where they meet these 3 witches who help him, but while there he has a nightmare as a side effect, that turns out to be a vision, that ended up connecting to the original plot quest...
Well, none of that was in the original plot. Now suddenly I had 4 extra chapters and an additional 9,000 words in the middle of my story.
It did not take away from the original story and it ended up adding more colour and flavour to the plot, gave my characters more things to do, and allowed my readers to see additional sides of my character's personality, to see how he reacted in this situation.
I find that it's quite easy to add things like this to any story, because no matter the plot, you can always find some place where you could add "something more" and stick in a new extra problem for your character to have to face and solve before they can move forward to the end goal.

Montreal's Omegas Bring Their 'Blast of Lunacy' on Tour, Plot 'NY Terminator' EP
Published May 18, 2011Montreal's Omegas have already released one of the best hardcore albums of the year with Blasts of Lunacy. The concise rager is available now from Parts Unkown and will now guide the band across North America on a lengthy tour.
Sadly, the run of shows only includes one Canadian stop on May 27 in Toronto with School Jerks before dipping into the States for a run of shows that includes a high-profile slot at the sure-to-be-amazing Chaos in Tejas Festival in Austin, TX.

It feels lately that I start every conversation talking about how busy we are at BAB. We're reviewing the bids that we received for our Building Blocks for Wellbeing commissioning, and preparing for interviews, contract negotiations and Service Level Agreements.
I'm sure you will be aware of the fantastic work being delivered across all of the BAB delivery partners, and of the support and activities that the BAB team is delivering to support older people and delivery partners.
We seem to spend a lot of time telling you things - but we're also keen to make sure that we receive and use information from partners.
In January we will hold another Partnership meeting, which is a great opportunity for us to update you on the progress of BAB and to receive information from you influencing how we proceed.
At the last meeting you gave us fantastic feedback about how you would like to see this partnership going forward after March 2020, and we are working on this at the moment. This will always hinge on what is put into BAB and what can be taken out by each partner. There needs to be value in what we do and I think that the value lies in the opportunity to share, learn and collaborate together.
Our Learning and Monitoring Officer, Claire, is currently going through the data we have collected from the BAB projects. She is looking for common trends that might be useful to share with partners. This can only be done with the reporting and intelligence that each of you shares with us, and we are very grateful for that.
We are coordinating the Age Friendly Bristol project and all of this relies on partners from all sectors sharing what they are currently doing and what they would like to do to make the city more age friendly. We are still looking for information across the nine visions and we would love you to submit offers and asks through the website.
You will see that we have recently updated the calendar on the website and this is another opportunity for us to take what you give us and make sure that we can share it with everyone.
Next year will see a huge amount of BAB activity and I am proud that we can celebrate this across Bristol.
Please feel free to get in touch with us if you are funded by BAB and want to share the activities that you have on offer. We want to share the great work happening both across the city and more widely where possible.
Have a great Christmas and New Year,
BAB Programme Director Adam Rees

Walkthrough part 6
|Darkwatch Outpost
Creep forward slowly to the opened gate and take aim at the Riflemen inside. There are three Riflemen on the ground level and a fourth perched atop the large structure just ahead (look way up). When the area is clear, enter the stronghold and grab a Range Rifle.
Turn right and move up to the elevated wood path. To the left, you'll see two Riflemen walking away from you. Catch them unaware and quickly deal them their fate with your Range Rifle. Grab the ammo they drop, then look to the left (over the wooden path) to find a third Rifleman.
Nearby is a small shack that's open from the roof and the front. Enter the shack cautiously, as there are two Gunslingers inside, both of which are more powerful than the Gunslingers you've met in the past. You can try to pick them off from outside the shack, or you can melee attack them to quickly kill 'em off. Either way, you'll find an offering from Lazarus inside the shack.
Exit the shack and continue forward through a small arched doorway. You can spot another Rifleman at the far end of the snowy stretch—snipe him, then continue forward to summon a group of Bone Demons. Tear through the enemies (melee strikes are great) and you'll reach the entrance to the Darkwatch outpost.
As soon as you step foot into the outpost, you'll be locked in and bombarded by enemies. Try to find cover in a small corner to avoid getting attacked from all angles. If you can pull all the enemies towards you from one side, you'll have a much better chance at staying alive.
More enemies will continue to spawn in the area, including Riflemen and Banshees. When the Banshees appear, you'll want to be sure you're not backed into a corner, as they can quickly kill you in that helpless position. Stay mobile when fighting the Banshees and use your sniping weapons to pick off their heads.
A meter at the top of the screen counts down the respawns of the enemies. When all enemies are dead, the nearby ghost door becomes active, letting you warp to the next area.
The portal takes you to an ice cavern. Just down the path, the hall opens to a room inside which are a few Gunslingers. They may be hard to see through the fog, but a couple of well placed dynamite sticks should do the trick. Continue through the room and you'll come across a man on an operating table, giving you an opportunity for blood judgement.
Follow the narrow tunnels forward and you'll push through more hordes of Bone Soldiers. Eventually, you'll reach an area where the tunnel opens up to an outdoors area—watch for the Gunslingers nearby, and be sure to locate the offering from Lazarus that's in a small cave to the left. When you're done, exit the level.

AI: The tech revolution PHL must face squarely
Whether the Filipinos like it, artificial intelligence (AI), automation, robotics and machine-to-machine learning, among others, are here and the Philippines must brace for the impact of these developments. In a news briefing during the 39th Annual Scientific Meeting of the National Academy of Science and Technology (NAST) on July 12, Dr. Raymond Girard Tan, vice chancellor for research and innovation of De La Salle University, pointed out that the country must equip its citizens with the knowledge and tools to handle the challenges of these technological developments. "It is a technological revolution we need to face. For example, in many parts of the world people are talking about the Fourth Industrial Revolution figuring out how the Internet can change the way we do business," Tan said. "I think it is going to be a serious trend. I think professionals in the future or next generation have to prepare for this challenge," Tan added. As far as De La Salle University is concerned, Tan said it is currently working double time to revamp its curriculum to cope with the changes in the technological landscape. "We want our students to keep pace with these changes so their skills will remain relevant," Tan pointed…
