It is quite possible to create an application with PHP. All php development company will tell you. Php is primarily a good open source and free solution. Php is above all imperative, functional, procedural, object oriented and reflexive. It is an interpreted language and low dynamic type according to some people. It does not always have backwards compatibility but may well fit all platforms with partial UTF-8 management. It is a popular general purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development. It s' acts alone & PHP or Zend and Symfony PHP, it may well make a web application without changing major version. It requires no application server other than a web server and is supported by a leading publisher in the case of a free php frameworks.
For maintenance and packaging
For maintenance, a bug in php will only block a little display. It is quite facie correct it according to the structure and quality of development that the bug in question is pkus pernicious and harder to pinpoint without forgetting that the language PHP is not compiled. This is why the bugs will only be visible during execution. The application is a php file deposited together in a directory. There is no packaging. The update is elementary through overwriting previous files with the new version. The disadvantage of this approach is that it is impossible to know whether the update was successful. To do this, it is essential to check each file. This will also allow all changes are immediately available without the need to deliver any application for updating. A simple enough for that patch.
The server
Php is deployed on a web server type. Therefore it reduces the cost and extend the supply of accommodation. It can be hosted on any operating system. It is lighter and does not consume a lot of resources unless the application is more complex and requires several treatments trades. It allows frequent changes without being backward compatible.

India A 210 for six at tea against New Zealand ASeptember 28th, 2008 - 5:03 pm ICT by IANS
Chennai, Sep 28 (IANS) India A batsmen made a mess of a good start and went to tea at 210 for six against New Zealand A on the first day of the four-day match at the MA Chidambaram Stadium here Sunday.Yusuf Pathan (44), skipper Suresh Raina (21) and Jaydev Shah (38) all settled down but virtually gifted their wickets attempting big strokes.
Pathan, in particular, was going great guns but holed out in the deep while trying to hit off-spinner Nathan McCullum out of the ground.
McCullum, bowling rather flat and occasionally tossing the ball up, came away with four wickets as he bowled unchanged between lunch and tea.
India opted to bat and Murali Vijay played a solid knock of 43 before edging off-spinner Nathan McCullum to the lone slip Aaron Redmond.

Sunday, Feb. 10, 1918
St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church is "packed to the doors" this afternoon for a special service honoring the 118 members of the congregation currently serving in the U.S. military, The Saratogian reports.
A "very large" service flag is draped over the choir balcony before Rev. George M. Murray of Troy delivers a patriotic address.
"We are living in an age of many evils and oppressions," Murray says, "days of injustice and hypocrisy, days when to lie and to steal seem plausible; but what is there that can be conceived to be more horrible, more inhuman, more cruel than the terrible conflict raging in Europe today?"
Murray recalls that the U.S. strove to remain neutral after the European war broke out in the summer of 1914, but "blow after blow was struck to our sovereign rights until the hour arrived when it was a question for us either to fight for honor's sake or cease to be a nation among nations."
The U.S. declared war on Germany last April, taking the side of England and France. "We are not fighting England's battles; nor are we struggling for France alone," Murray insists, "We are in reality in a war which in the fullest sense is our war….We want to save ourselves, our sovereign rights, to save all and everything that a nation in honor prizes.
"Ought we not proud in a special manner of our dear Catholic boys who have so eagerly sailed away to fight hand in hand with a nation which once hated everything Catholic?...We are now fighting for France who hated God, France who banished the priest and the nun from the land, who forbade the little children to use the sacred name of Jesus. Again I say the Golden Rule is part of our lives and with France we will gladly fight."
Catholic Americans "are overflowing with a spirit of love and patriotism," Murray says, "They love their country next to God and they feel that their country is worthy of their lives."
Pleas for Armenian aid
"Stricken Armenia" is the subject of an illustrated lecture given tonight by Edgar Sagatelian at First Methodist Episcopal Church, where "the auditorium was filled to its capacity, and all were interested to the last."
Sagatelian claims that "At least 1,000,000 Armenians in Turkey have perished during the past two years from massacre, deportation, exposure, starvation and disease. Over 2,000,000 are now homeless and in dire distresss."
The Turkish-ruled Ottoman Empire is one of Germany's allies in the world war. Sagatelian urges audience members to give seventeen cents apiece each day to save Armenian refugees.

Got to a Hawks game
Even though I have already bought a car (mostly by myself), this is my first car purchase/nightmare that was done allllllll alone. I like to think of it as my dad's birthday present this year, instead of a cupcake. You're looking at my new baby, Blakely. Named after the city my dad is from. She's a 2017 Honda Accord Sedan EX-L. Here she is in all her glory. Insert smiley face with heart eyes.

So, life happened. A lot. I went to NYC in May for a short trip. I adore friends that want to travel. It's so nice to have friends that are interested in seeing the world and will follow through! Unfortunately it rained the day I was leaving and I wasn't able to do too much. Then all flights were delayed. I finally got on a plane to go to Boston around 9PM and stayed overnight. Took another plane from Boston around 5AM to Charlotte, NC then to Atlanta. It was a long day with little sleep. Here are pics from my trip.

Hello From the Outside

|Posted by V under change, cray, dating, friends, living life, M, marriage, music, new ish
Holy fucking shit. I think I wrote about Adele's "Hello" when it first came out.
July 8th I was checking my VM. My ENT's office called and left me a VM. Apparently even if you block a number they can still leave you a VM. So I saw "Blocked Messages 1 >". I have very few numbers blocked; I think only random people I'm too stupid to give a fake number to, and M. Upon seeing the number, I knew it was from M. He called June 18 at 9:17AM. The day before Father's Day was the first thing that stuck out in my head, not sure why. There was nothing to the VM, just a tv in the background, and then breathing right before hanging up. Obvi it wasn't a pocket dial, even though he would later claim it was. I don't think so, bud. Its virtually impossible to do that nowadays.
I brought up returning his call to one of my GFs and she suggested I reach out and see what it was about. Natch, I did because, have you met met? The most curious person, almost, ever. He was shocked to say the least. We "caught up". What you can catch someone up on in your life when you haven't talked in over a year. I think he told me he would call me later to catch up.. Somehow I knew he'd call me back after his dinner. He did and we "caught up" more. He told me there were a few things he wanted to tell me. I knew exactly what that meant. I was very blunt the last time we talked/I texted him. I believe before we hung up he said he'd call later in the week. Obvi that didn't happen.
I actually reconnected with a guy 2 days later. So random. Then the anniversary of my dad's passing day came. He finally called one Sunday morning either at the end of that week or the following, at 1AMish. I was cleaning out my closet (hello irony) and texting with the boy and an old coworker. I decided to answer. I could tell by his voice something wasn't quite right. He asked me to pick him up and my first thought was, oh fuck, he's in jail." Nope, just at a bar?! He said he needed a friend, and I'm a sucker, so I picked him up, and he knew I would because I'm such a great friend/person.
On the ride to my place (not many places are open at 1:45AM) I was asking WTF was happening, why he needed a friend, etc. And he bombs me with he was engaged and he/she/they called it off on Saturday. Insert my calm face on the outside, and my WHAT THE FUCKING SHIT ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME WHY THE FUCK AM I THE PICK ME UP CALL?! Yes those are not complete sentences because my brain was all over the place.
So we talked it out, what little he wanted to talk out. Which consisted of him mostly wanting to hear about me and what was going on in my life.
He did tell me a few things I needed to hear for "closure". Like how he regretted several things, like never telling me he loved me, not being there for me for my dad's death, etc. My favorite i think, was that I was the best sex he'd ever had. hahahahaha DUH. Because you actually fell for me. I pointedly asked him why he never told me he loved me. He looked me directly in the eyes and told me he was a coward. Okay, that takes some balls to say that. Or alcohol. Either way, I give him props for finally admitting it.
Like the good
friend person I am, I steered the convo back to his issue. To help him, I asked if he thought this was "it", it was over, for good. He said something about her taking her ring off and leaving it on the table (I think it was table?) was "like a line in the sand". I asked if he was positive, and if he was sure he wasn't being too hard on her, because there were plenty of times he did that to me – stubborn asshole because his feelings were hurt without communicating with her and talking things out. God, I'm such a good ex gf! Around 4AM he took his shirt and shorts off and asked if he could sleep over on my couch. Didn't leave me much choice did ya? I said yes, gave him a pillow and blanket and offered to charge his phone bc I knew it was either dead or almost dead.
At 7:30AM I woke up to his phone vibrating the fuck out of my makeup table. Annoying. So I got up, peed, took him his phone and told him she had called several times. I think he peed and crawled in bed with me. We cuddled (hey, fuck off I'm human) and talked more about his situation. Definitely did not sleep together or make out, and he left.
We caught up later the following week and I told him I couldn't be his friend. That was one of the things he mentioned in our convo at 3AM. I told him that he couldn't look to me to be the first one he told about things, that's what his fiance/wife/person is for. Not me. Whomever he decided to spend his life with needed to be that person, that I couldn't do it. It wouldn't be fair to me. He sounded really sad and said he figured and understood. Super awkward hanging up. Hows that convo supposed to go? "Hi, I can't be your friend or in your life, have a nice life!" Oh and I mentioned that I was really excited with the possibility of where things were going with this new(ish) guy. Side note: that only lasted a month. Leave it to me to get tired of someone after a month. Ha. In the words of Rihanna, "Didn't they tell you I was a savage?"
After hanging up with M, I felt like he was wavering on getting back together with his ex. Whether or not he did, I have no idea. I just think that based on the little I know, the things he told me and him turning to me, means he's not as "in it" as he thought he was. I also told him I found it puzzling that he would want closure with me after proposing to someone. #justsayin
So tonight I had a phone call with the medium I have seen before. Not for any particular reason. She actually brought M up though. She said I finally let go of that situation. It was not good for me. She said specific things, but I can't remember them now. I'd have to go back and listen to the recording.
We talked about my dad, because we always do at some point. She said, you like butterflies don't you? I laughed and was like yes. She said he sends me signs and sent me one in butterfly form recently. I laughed because he did. She said butterflies normally aren't that clumsy, it was a sign. (I was at a friends pool sitting on the edge with her. A butterfly literally flew into my face. I pulled away like, wtf and asked her if she saw it. She said yea, its a sign from your dad. I was like I KNOW!) I told the medium I feel like my dad sends me signs a lot, mostly through songs. She said he did.
After our call, I went to the store, ate dinner, watched tv and gathered the materials I need to write an essay for a paper. I decided to put on some music and decided I wanted to hear Adele. I played most of the songs from her 21 album and sang along. 25 started playing after that and Hello came on. I just listened to it instead of singing along for some reason. The further into the song I had a lightbulb moment. I literally said out loud, HOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS IS SOOOOOO US. Me and M. I originally thought that when I heard the song the firs time, but especially after hearing it after he and I talked in person. So crazy, this life.
You go listen to the song, reread what I said about our convo and tell me that shit doesn't give you chills. #craycray

Thursday was blissful. It was my first official day of not being employed by a company I'd worked at for almost 8 years. All of my close friends are probably more happy than me. They don't have to hear me cry and complain and torture myself anymore. It was like Mel Gibson in Braveheart: "FREEEEEEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOM!!!"
Sometimes it blows me away when God answers my prayers. He doesn't always answer in the way I prefer and then sometimes He goes above and beyond. He really outdid himself with my new job. It started out with me not really wanting to go to the interview, and before the interview was over, I wanted it. Everything aligned so perfectly it was like He created it specifically for me. The company exceeded my expectations and I was teary-eyed. What a showoff. 😉

Cold Tangerines
|June 6, 2014
|Posted by V under advice, books, change, living life, loves it, new ish
The following was taken from Cold Tangerines by Shauna Niequist. I loved this book SO much!!
Everything is interim. Everything is a path or preparation for the next thing, and we never know what the next thing is. Life is like that, of course, twisty and surprising. But life with God is like that exponentially. We can dig in, make plans, write in stone, pretend we're not listening, but the voice of God has a way of being heard. It seeps in like smoke or vapor even when we've barred the door against any last-minute changes, and it moves us to different countries and different emotional territories and different ways of living. It keeps us moving and dancing and watching, and never lets us drop down into a life set on cruise control or a life ruled by remote control. Life with God is a daring dream, full of flashes and last-minute exits and generally all the things we've said we'll never do. And with the surprises comes great hope.
It's rebellious, in a way, to choose joy, to choose to dance, to choose to love your life. Its much easier and much more common to be miserable. But I choose to do what I can do to create hope, to celebrate life, and the act of celebrating connects me back to that life I love. We could just live our normal, day-to-day lives, saving all the good living up for someday, but I think today, just plain today, is worth it. I think its our job, each of us, to live each day like it's a special occasion, because we've been given a gift. We get to live in this beautiful world. When I live purposefully and well, when I dance instead of sitting it out, when I let myself laugh hard, when I wear my favorite shoes on a regular Tuesday, that regular Tuesday is better.
Right now, around our house, all the leaves are falling, and there's no reason that they have to turn electric bright red before they fall, but they do, and I want to live like that. I want to say, "What can I do today that brings more beauty, more energy, more hope?" Because it seems like that's what God is saying to us, over and over. "What can I do today to remind you again how good this life is? You think the color of the sky is good now, wait till sunset. You think oranges are good, try a tangerine." He's a crazy delightful mad scientist and keeps coming back from the lab with great, unbelievable new things, and it's a gift. It's a gift to be a part of it.
I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. And I don't want to get to the end, or to tomorrow, even, and realize that my life is a collection of meetings and pop cans and errands and receipts and dirty dishes. I want to eat cold tangerines and sing out loud in the car with the windows open and wear pink shoes and stay up all night laughing and paint my walls the exact color of the sky right now. I want to sleep hard on clean white sheets and throw parties and eat ripe tomatoes and read books so good they make me jump up and down and I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater.
That's what I want. To arrive. I want to get to wherever im going and stay there. That's why I was such a ferocious planner of my life. But im learning just to keep moving, keep walking, keep taking teeny tiny steps. And it's in those teeny tiny steps and moments that become, actually, who I am. We won't arrive. But we can become. And that's the most hopeful thing I can think of.
Thank God I was wrong about everything I had planned. Thank God we weren't on my schedule, because even though I dragged my heels and checked my planner every five seconds while I watched my life change in his hands, I really like the place we've ended up, and the things ive seen along the way.
The idea that my smart, successful friend Lori has seen the cabinet beneath my sink and has risked her feet on our dishwasher door positively floors me. I'm quite certian she doesn't have cabinets like that. But then again, maybe she does. Maybe we all do, somewhere. Maybe its not your cabinets or your basement or your butt. But I think it's something, and I think you probably spend a lot of time covering it up and thinking about it in the middle of the night. And I think when you let someone into your life far enough to get a glimpse of it, at first you think you're going to pass out, and that that person is going to ruin your reputation as a good person by blabbering about your butt or your cabinets to everyone you know. But a second after that, I think you're going to realize that that person is your friend. Like really and truly, from Jesus, your friend.
There are things that happen to us, and when they happen, they give us two options. Either way, we will never be the same, and we shouldn't. These things can either strip us down to the bone and allow us to become strong and honest, or they can be the reasons we used to behave poorly and indefinitely, the justification for all manner of broken relationships and broken ideals. It could be the thing that allows everything else to turn, that allows the lock of our lives to finally spring open and our pent-up selves to blossom like preening flowers. Or it can be the reason we use to justify our anger and the sharp tones in our voices for the rest of our lives.
The thing that keeps me going with the anger and the rotten feelings is that I think I'm right. Really. When I think about what happened, I think she did a bad thing to a not entirely bad person named me. And I want her to have to apologize. Loudly. Publicly. And give me a present, too. I want her to feel how bad I felt, how small and scared. I want her to tell me she was wrong, and promise never to do anything like that again, in writing, with a notary public present.
We preserve the myth even though we no longer believe it. We insist that everything is okay. But we're kidding ourselves. Can you look into the eyes of the people around you and really believe everything is okay? We want to believe that things roll off our backs, that we are tough and world-wise, and that we're all holding it together pretty well. But you know which door you lock behind you when you're crying so hard you can't see. You know what word or image rips off that scab. Everything is not okay.
Being with Julie and Doug today made me think about the idea that everything is okay. The idea is nothing but cruel in its untruth. Okayness is a thin scab that rips off every once in a while and exposes a river of blood and infection, an inroad to the whole body. We live in a reasonable peace, accomplishing things and doing what we're told and expecting that if we behave, we will be rewarded; that for living quietly and industriously, for donating to Easter Seals and letting people merge in front of us on the highway, we will be given good things, good lives. And then something happens to us; we get that phone call or that feeling or that doctor's report, and everything changes.
The sky might as well be red, the solid ground replaces with seawater, because it is a different world. It's like a chemical change, charges reversing from positive to negative. And in the midst of this change, you look around and realize that everyone else seems to be doing fine, that you must be the only one who notices this change.
I respect people who pray, and who appear to be living that wiggly, whatever-God-wants kind of life, but it's sort of how I respect people who don't believe in conventional medicine – it's indie and cool, but when I'm feeling a little under the weather, I want every machine and tube and drug in the world.
The problem is that the worldview I've chosen has melted like butter. I had a plan, and the plan is gone. I did it right, in my own made-up-system, and it all came out wrong. All my logic and contingencies and smoke alarms and insurance didn't see this coming, and now my life has changed. I'm off the plan. And I loved the plan. I believed in the plan, secretly, way more devoutly than I believed in the mysterious work of God.
So now, out of desperation, I'm back to prayer. I'm back to prayer, sheepishly, because I couldn't make my life work without it. I pray out of sheer lack of options.
This is my most basic, most frequent, starting place prayer: Dear God, I need help. I can't make it anymore. Can you please give me a little something for the pain?
That's how family gets made. Not by ceremonies or certificates, and not by parties and celebrations. Family gets made when you decide to hold hands and sit shoulder to shoulder when it seems like the sky is falling. Family gets made when the world becomes strange and disorienting, and the only face you recognized is his. Family gets made when the future obscures itself like a solar eclipse, and in the intervening darkness, you decide that no matter what happens in the night, you'll face it as one.
At our house church that week, we just stared at each other, exhausted, spent, cried-out, sliced open. One of the women broke the silence by saying, "To be honest, when we pray as a group, I don't pray. If God's going to heal someone because of prayers, there are enough people praying. I don't know if I believe one more voice matters."
I didn't know what to say to her, but what I do know is this: prayer helps me. When I pray, something freaked-out and dazed inside me finds a place to lay down and rest. When I pray, I don't feel so alone in the universe. I feel like there is a web, a finely-spun net, holding it all together, keeping it spinning. I feel powerless, and prayer reminds me that I may be powerless, but there is power, and the one who holds that power is good. Prayer reminds me that the universe is not powerless against the evil and loss that seems to be swallowing up this season in our community.
I imagine a huge choir, hundreds of voices, and they're singing something unquestionable, remarkably beautiful, and if you look at each person, you can see their intensity, their attention to detail and precision, their extreme focus on sounds and phrases. And you can see their love for music and their passion to sing. You could never pick out an individual voice, out of those several hundred, but that's not the point. They are not singing to he heard individually. They are singing for the act itself, for the love of music and tone and melody. That's one of the reasons I pray, for the act itself.
I pray because I need to. Because I need to remind myself that there is something up there and that it is good. I pray to be heard, certainly, but practically speaking, what the act of prayer does in my life is profound in its own right. The act and posture of prayer connects me back to something I lose so often, something that gets snipped like a string. Prayer ties up the string one more time. Prayer says, I know you're up there, I believe you. I can make it. I know you are good. To pray is to say that there is more that I can see, and more than I can do. There is more going on than meets the eye.
Prayer heals all the muscles that I've been clenching for a long time, while I'm holding it together, gritting my teeth, waiting for impact. Prayer, like yoga, like singing, brings soft from hard, pliant from brittle, possible from impossible, warm from cold, breath from breathless. And no matter what gets you there, it is better to be there than not.
What I know now is that his kindness burns through even the deepest betrayals and invites life from death every chance we let him. There are things that explode into our lives and we call them curses, and then one day, a year later or ten years later, we realize that they are actually something else. They are the very most precious kinds of blessings.
My friend goes to a spiritual director, and I was asking her about it, and she said, basically, Sister Carmen asks her to talk about her life, and she points out the presence and action and grace of God when my friend didn't even notice it was there. So it was there all along, and the trick is learning to see it.
Each one of our lives is shot through, threaded in and out with God's provision, his grace, his protection, but on the average day, we notice it about as much as we really notice gravity or the hold in the ozone. So what I'm trying to do is learn to see the way Sister Carmen sees. Because one you start seeing the faithfulness and the hope, you see it everywhere. And little by little, here and there, you realize that all of life is woven with bits and stories of God's goodness.
What gives me hope is the belief that God will be faithful, because he has been faithful before, to me and the people around me. I need the reminders. I need to be told that he was faithful then, and then, and then. Just because I have forgotten how to see doesn't mean it isn't there. His goodness is there. His promises have been kept. All I need to do is see.
So when I'm on the edge, peering over into the unknown, trembling and terrified to move forward, devastatingly afraid to take that next step, I practice believing that full life is beyond the fear. I know that God's voice has lead me to this exact place, and I grab a few pennies. They are sacred reminders that God is God, that he is leading my life, and that he is saying to me, as he has been saying to his people throughout history, I will never leave you, and I've left reminders all around if you have the eyes to see them.
Spring/Summer Shoes

A week or so ago I ran to the mall to
buy all the things pick up one item at Sephora. Across from Sephora is Macy's. I thought I'd run upstairs to check to see if they had any wedges I might like. Mistake numero uno. Not only did I find wedges, I tried on multiple shoes that I feel in love with. Somehow I showed restraint and didn't end up buying 4 pairs of shoes.
These may not seem like anything but special, but they are, especially on. I fell in love. As I was reluctantly putting the shoe back, I saw a young couple looking at the other shoe. I told them that it was a hot, sex shoe. The man was like, oh man, now she's definitely going to want them! haha!
I also tried on this gorgeousness. I mean, it matches the purse I bought for my 30th birthday.. This is what I like to refer to as the Oh, I am getting some tonight shoe.

I'm a little late on my Grammy post. I've been working my ass off at work. Thank God there was a snow day yesterday and I was able to catch up on some of my DVR…
If you watched the Grammys you say Bey and Jay open the show.
So many people are bashing her because it was 8PM and she should be a role model. Uh, do you not remember Brit, Madonna and Christina kissing a few years ago, or Miley accepting an award talking about smoking pot, or her performance with Robin Thicke? Bey looked hot! Reminded me of the time I performed a lap dance for a bf. Only Bey doesn't get nervous in front of a crowd. The song is called Drunk In Love and she performed it with her husband. Haters gone hate.
Another amazing performance was Kendrick Lamar with Imagine Dragons. Wow.
Even if you don't like the music, you have to appreciate the show they put on. They brought it.
Another performer that brought it, Pink. Home girl has one impressive body. I can't even imagine how much strength she has to be able to do that.
I can't forget to mention Maclemore, Ryan Lewis, Mary Lambert and Madonna featuring Queen Latifah. Wow. Talk about going down in history. I saw an interview that Ryan Lewis gave saying that his sister was one of the couples that got married. How awesome. Also, did you catch Keith Urban with tears? Love!
V Day

Or what I like to refer to as my day. 😀 If you're in a normal relationship, I think it's safe to assume that you're going to get laid on Valentine's Day. In order to do that, you
should probably better show up with gifts. Here are some sure-fire ways to ensure you get some. These should all be a no brainer, but sometimes men are stupid. Just being honest.
The Mesh & Lace Corset is a good idea. I browsed VS and I was a little disappointed in their selection. You could always settle for a lacy bra and panty.
Godiva is always a good way to go. You can't go wrong with a Godiva truffle or chocolate covered strawberry.
Kendra Scott is a great place for jewelry. They have a ton of items to choose from and you can also customize pieces like I did in this picture. If that doesn't work for you, you can't go wrong with diamonds.
I love this arrangement. It has everything.. pops of color, roses and my personal favorite, those lilies.
This is also pretty. I am a big fan of the square vases with the leaves wrapped around. This is when it comes in handy to know her favorite flowers. Of course you can't ever go wrong with roses. Bonus points for sending her flowers to the office.
As a general rule, the more items you show up with, the higher your chances are of getting the good stuff. And I don't just mean sex. The. Good. Stuff. Just don't wait around last minute. The best items are always picked over if you do!
If you can't afford anything, make her a card. Yes, make. As long as its sweet and thoughtful, you're golden.

He is Soulja Boy and he is a *checks notes* rapper. Up until now we had never heard of Soulja Boy, but Soulja Boy has 'accidentally' posted a picture of his penis on Tumblr and if there's anything that grabs our attention, it's Tumblr. No, penises! It was a penis waiting to happen, for which he has accidentally apologised, profusely. Or something.
His profuse apology goes like this:
'I apologize to ever seen that, accident.'
We're not sure where Soulja Boy learnt the English language, but we sure as Hellja didn't just float down the Thames on a Tunnock's Caramel Wafer.
You can see Soulja Boy's accidental penis after the jump. It is big, it is hefty, it is NSF the odd W, and we believe his name is a play on Soldier and Soul. They didn't have shit names like that in our day. And you could leave your back door open!
Would you like to see this man's penis? Do gay bears have anonymous sex in the woods?,

2ND UPDATE: SAG met this afternoon with the AMPTP and said it needed more info to analyze and review the Big Media offer. So don't expect any new developments until next Monday. But probably not until July 8th when all sides find out whether the AFTRA/AMPTP was ratified. Then Hollywood travels into uncharted territory. (See my two SAG/AFTRA/AMPTP articles in LA Weekly: here and here.)
Here's SAG's statement tonight:
Los Angeles, July 2, 2008 – The Screen Actors Guild national negotiating committee met with AMPTP negotiators today to present a series of substantive questions on the employers' proposed package. Guild negotiators and staff will further analyze and review the AMPTP's responses over the next several days in order to prepare a response to management's proposal. The Screen Actors Guild national negotiating committee is working hard to achieve a fair deal for actors. The committee is mindful of its obligation to advance actors' interests and to safeguard the protections our contracts afford them. Guild negotiators are engaged in, and committed to, the negotiating process and are confident that an equal commitment from management will allow the parties to reach a fair agreement that serves the needs of Screen Actors Guild members, their employers and the industry.
UPDATE: The AMPTP issued this statement tonight:
On Monday AMPTP presented SAG with our final offer, containing more than $250 million in additional compensation for SAG members over three years, groundbreaking rights for actors in the new media area, and a basic economic framework that has already been accepted by the DGA, WGA and AFTRA in four separate labor negotiations this year. On Wednesday, we met at SAG's request for 4 hours to answer SAG's questions about our final offer. SAG asked for more time to study our final offer and indicated it will contact the Producers on Monday. We remain hopeful that SAG will advise that it is accepting our final offer. No further meetings are scheduled.
Previous: I hear that today's negotiating session will probably just be a preliminary discussion about the AMPTP's "last best final" offer made Monday to SAG. The actors guild will still have to do a comprehensive analysis and further review.

The U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, a facility that researches nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction, recently named Jack Anderson to the position of deputy director, effective in mid-October.
Anderson, who held multiple high-level management positions at three national labs, will take over for Mike Bebon. Bebon will take on a new position at the laboratory after a decade as deputy director.
"Mike has served in key leadership roles at Brookhaven for more than three decades, and his strong commitment to Brookhaven and its mission-and his deep concern for the people who work here-are hallmarks of his service," Doon Gibbs, BNL's laboratory director, said. "I'm pleased for him and look forward to working with him in a new capacity."
Anderson is currently the interim director of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. He also held positions at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, Florida Power and Light Company, Cincinnati Gas & Electric and General Dynamics.
"We are delighted that we have been able to attract someone of Jack's stature and experience to Brookhaven," Doon Gibbs, BNL's laboratory director, said. "I know that he is as excited as we are about the outstanding scientific opportunities ahead of us."
The Long Island, N.Y.-based Brookhaven National Laboratory is a multipurpose research institution for studies in biology, medicine, chemistry, applied science and advanced technology. BNL's Nonproliferation and National Security Department supports systems related to nuclear materials safeguards and security, arms control treaty verification and nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

After a cruel eject by Ford in 2010 in exchange for Chinese cash, the compelling Volvo XC90 T8 plug-in hybrid is stepping hard this year, obligated to give shine the new Volvo and settle firmly in the SUV market. This XC90 gives the idea in which direction is going to take Volvo from now, and thE SUV shines for its extraordinary range-topping powertrain, excellent
This XC90 gives the idea in which direction is going to take Volvo from now, and the SUV shines for its extraordinary range-topping powertrain, excellent efficiency, and top-notch materials. The new XC90 is the first Volvo built using the new Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) patented by the Scandinavian maker, and it is definitely giving us the idea of the reincarnation of Volvo in its next releases.
The XC90 is an SUV with a capacity of 7 people with three rows of seats and is expensive, fast, stylish, and flawlessly-crafted. It's an exquisite creation by the Scandinavian maker. The XC90 has been awarded for been the safest car in Europe, and that is exactly what it was intended to do: deliver a fast, safe, and efficient option for customers, using a new, profitable, and on-demand niche, the hybrids cars.
Let's review this SUV.
Powertrain and Performance
Under the hood, the novelty is the twin engine equipped on it. It gets a 2.0 L four-cylinder petrol engine supercharged at the low-rev response and turbocharged for the higher-rev response, making 314 hp.
The combo is complete with an electric motor, mounted in the back and powering the rear wheels only. It use batteries located in the transmission tunnel and deliver extra 81 hp, and those batteries are charged by plugging. With both engines on, powertrain peaks at 400 hp and 472 lb-ft of torque. An Aisin eight-speed automatic transmission allow the SUV a smooth transition between gears, giving it an incredible performance, rated from standstill to 60 mph in just 5.6 seconds and a limited top speed at 132 mph.
This SUV is all-wheel-drive and has tons of driving modes selectable via a wheel on the center console. The driving modes are Off-Road, AWD, Save, Pure, Hybrid, and Power. The fuel efficiency is excellent for an SUV like this, rated in 20 mpg in city and 25 mpg in the highway.
The XC90 can work only with the electric engine for about 24 miles, and they are easily charged in 3 hours.
Design Line and Interior
The exterior looks solid, opulent, and stylish. It has an unbearable squared-edged and well-addressed details that make this SUV shine aesthetically. The front fascia features a brilliant LED headlight with another LED foglights just at the bottom of the bumper almost hanging on the floor, with a huge grille and the iconic Volvo logo with the diagonal strap. A massive crossover with a sharp rear.
In the interior, you'll be surprised in the instant you get in, and the room with 85.7cu-ft of cargo space. Everything is top-notch as expected, giving a simple and minimalist feeling all the way. Premium materials and features are on everywhere. Is roomy and the seats are a supreme blend with their headers futuristic designed.
The knob and controls that allow you to change modes are outstanding and pretty approached to the details. The shift knob is made with dazzling crystal, crafted by 15 glassmakers, and every unit is individually crafted (luxury and prestigious right there). A huge infotainment emerges of the center with a massive 9-inch screen with different functions grouped in pages that can be swiped side to side. Also, the driver can see the speedometer and tachometer from an LCD display.
The Bottom Line
This incredible Scandinavian SUV is dazzling and has an extraordinary beauty. With no visible flaws, an outstanding performance, the room and cargo space, as well as the excellent efficiency, is going to drive Volvo to a real success.
Starting price at US$68.100.

Hi folks, it seems we definitely hit something interesting based on the number of responses to part 1 of this article.. Talking about the Next Generation Hypervisor, or "Red Hat Virtualization Hypervisor" as it will officially will be known as, has definitely gotten positive attention. We're going to take another look today, with a deeper focus on "Cockpit", the hypervisor administrative plugin and web console.
Let's get started.When I wrote part 1 of this article, I had been working on the "beta 1" release of the product. By the time I got to work on part 2 of the article, "beta 2" had been released, and several things had already been ironed out. Most notably, the ability to update the hypervisor itself.
If you remember my original description of the new design, it's somewhat of a hybrid of a "thick" and "thin" hypervisor in that it allows the flexibility of a thick, but leaner. You can add additional packages using RPM and YUM, for monitoring agents, new drivers, etc. You could even update the entire hypervisor image via YUM. Just note that the RPMs that you added prior to the image update will need to be re-added.
In the embedded video, I show the process of updating the image; it's actually very cool. Typically you would do the updates from within the management console, but as I note in the video, sometimes you need to see what's happening under the covers.
Once the image is updated, I move on to "Cockpit". Cockpit is such a very cool addition to the hypervisor that I had to do a brief walk-through. As I point out, it is NOT a replacement or competition for RHEV-M, it is a complement. Watch the video, I think you'll agree.
What I don't show, is accessing Cockpit. It's as easy as "https://ip_or_fqdn:9090" in your web browser, then logging in with your credentials. Adding additional hypervisors is also very easy – I show you how to do that. Graphs and stats are color coded to the different hypervisors, making it easy to match metrics to nodes.
Next in the walk-through, I highlight services. Specifically the ability to not only view what services are available, but their status, their respective logs, and the ability to start, stop, restart, and reload specific services. This was not previously available in the old admin tool or RHEV-M.
Next up, we can view the system logs. We can even filter them on their specific error level (error, warning, etc). Storage and networking resources can also be interacted with in ways that couldn't be done without logging into the hypervisor.
The ability to run a diagnostics report and view a console right from Cockpit also adds to the functionality. I seriously can't wait until people can start using this in production.
Granted, sometimes you need to "ssh" into a node and that ability is absolutely still there, but clearly the need for "operations" level tooling has existed. That's what Cockpit represents to me: operations level tooling, and this is a good thing. The troubleshooting gets easier, the sense of what is going on within that hypervisor (and other hypervisors), is greater.
Check out the video. Best viewed in fullscreen:
Let me know what you think in the comments section.
Hope this helps,
Captain KVM

When visiting Bangladesh, it pays to remind the traveler that holidays are not just days of closed [...]

Voters in the east Ukrainian government-held port of Mariupol on Sunday cast their ballots in a delayed local elections after an earlier poll was scrapped in the strategic frontline city. The rest of Kiev-controlled Ukraine has already voted in local polls but the election was dramatically cancelled in Mariupol on October 25 amid claims of widespread ballot paper irregularities. "At this moment all the stations are opened, voting goes on, there are no serious problems", Tetyana Nedavnya, head of the local election commission, told AFP by the phone.

Washington Family Magazine : November 2014
3 2 November 2014 washingtonFAMILY.com A Two-Fold Approach To Learning Success In education, as in economics, there is supply and demand. In seeking the best for their children, parents often focus on only the supply side of this equation: the quality of schools, teachers and tutors. Parents relocate to neighborhoods with reputable public schools or make economic sacrifces to send children to private schools and hire private tutors. These eforts focus on improving the quality of educational "input," or "supply," to use economic terms. The hope is that the beter the supply, the beter the outcome (our child's education). However, optimal learning outcomes are achieved only when we pair good teaching with an efective learner. The "demand" side of the educational equation represents learning — the efectiveness and independence with which a student processes and absorbs taught material. Learning is dependent on the strength of your child's cognitive skills and how these skills interact. Every child is wired diferently, and therefore learns diferently. Every child has a unique learning style, determined in part by gaps or relative weaknesses in their cognitive skills. As a result, our brains develop automatic mechanisms to compensate, taking advantage of our personal cognitive strengths to mitigate the inevitable weaknesses. The degree to which we can compensate for a weakness depends on how heavily the weak skill is tasked, just how weak the skill is and the extent to which other skills depend on it. For example, atention, working memory and processing speed are all essential for directing information to appropriate parts of the brain. If any of these skills are weak, the learning process can be sabotaged and a child may visibly struggle, or, even more insidiously, their struggle may not be evident. This can lead to permanent and avoidable weaknesses. The reason most parents focus only on the supply side of the equation (the quality of teaching) and ignore the demand side (the strength of their child's cognitive skills), is rational and TEXT JAVIER ARGUELLO HOME services two-fold. First, educational neuroscience is a rapidly growing feld — parents cannot be expected to keep abreast of new developments. Second, many parents are rightly skeptical of companies ofering "brain training" to improve how children learn; many appear gimmicky and slick, seeming to take advantage of good intentions to turn a proft. How do you separate the wheat from the chaf in the growing cognitive training industry? A GIMMICKY PRODUCT MIGHT: • Make huge, unrealistic claims ("double your intelligence!"). • Evaluate success internally, instead of in collaboration with parents and teachers. • Base training solely on drill and practice, which is easy to implement, but unlikely to transfer any cognitive gains to the classroom. • Ofer standardized, cookie-cuter programs (often online- only), which greatly expands their client base, but at the cost of fexibility to individually tailored programs. A QUALITY COGNITIVE TRAINING PROGRAM SHOULD: • Set unique, realistic, writen goals for each client and recruit parents and teachers to assess whether those goals are reached. • Customize programs to suit your child's needs, ideally without relying on computers/technology, which may limit a program's adaptability and generalizability. • While training a skill to strengthen it, teach proven techniques and coach students in applying these, in order to ensure progress is refected in educational performance. Your child is unique and his or her goals are unique. Your training program should be too. As in any industry, there are weak, deceptive players and efective, credible players. Your task is knowing the diference so you can improve your child's ability to learn from the great knowledge dispensers you've so carefully sought out. Tread cautiously in your search for quality cognitive training; if selected with care, the right program can make all the diference in your child's education.

Nietzsche Coffee Tender Nerves Toussaint Dalkey Archive
Hey, sorry if you're a loud one, but Nietzsche said it, so . . .
Leaves are changing colors here.
Survey: what kind of coffee do you drink? I'm not coffee snobbing here, I'm just curious. Starbucks, Maxwell House, Sanka, some special foreign blend? The only judgment I have about coffee is that I might rather drink out of the toilet than consume instant coffee. I've never been forced to choose, but that's what I imagine happening. Sometimes I'll buy Tim Horton's (there's one a block from my house that is also on the way to work). I've been getting Starbucks with a gift card that my wife, who is not a coffee drinker, got from work. Most often, though, I make coffee in my coffee maker that needs a good cleaning. I usually brew some darker blend of Maxwell House: French or Colombian. For whatever reason, it seems like every time I switch back to Colombian from French I get a raging sinus infection. Sometimes I brew a pot in the French press, but I'm lazy and usually don't like cleaning it out after I'm done.
Something that annoys me every time I watch TV: many many commercials feature men who are absolute idiots. And to a hyper-sensitive fellow like myself, I get at least two messages from these commercials:
1) X product will make your life better and more fulfilling
2) men, categorically, are really really stupid
1 Oct 2008: UPDATE: These are two particular commercials I'm thinking of:
Maybe it's just me being afraid of being stupid. I don't know. See, case and point. Stupid.
I will add this peeve to my tender nerves for commercials where the make believe consumer smiles gleefully when mock-using the product being pushed. For instance, any kind of sleep product, whether a pillow, mattress, etc, the person smiles while they sleep because they are so happy with the product. Now that, my friends, is stupid.
I've mentioned it before (though not really complained): the way the coffee cup signifies ease, security, and leisure in advertising. That hurts me a little. I really like coffee, and to see it pimped out like that stings.
It is Monday morning and I am complaining. Mostly about stupid things. I realize how petty I get about this stuff when I remember that some people are starving or worried about being in the wrong place at the wrong time when someone decides to blow up a public place. Yeah, insulting commercials just don't bite as much after that.
Elsewhere: I read The Bathroom by Jean-Philippe Toussaint over the weekend. I liked it. I am still feeling it and thinking about it, which is the mark of a good book for me. I will be reviewing it with Toussaint's novel Camera, which I am reading right now. I had previously thought that these were bookend novels, The Bathroom being his first novel and Camera being his most recent novel. But this is not the case. The former was published in 1985 (in French) and the latter in 1988. There is an interview with Toussaint as an afterword to Camera that I am looking forward to reading after I finish the novel. The Bathroom and Camera are being published (Camera for the first time in English) by the amazing Dalkey Archive.
Posts below: archived stories from print pubs that are themselves pretty much archived and not being caressed by any reading eyes. More stories to follow.
Thank you.

Man, who gave you that bum idea about the Touissant books? What an idiot. (Sorry!)
Glad to see you posting the Binnacle stories. Open Mic Night at the Chemistry Club is still super badass.

If you mean reviewing them together, I think that will still work fine. The books are short enough. I thought they were bookends before, and I only found out yesterday when I checked out the dates on the French publication dates. No problem, though.
Thanks, yeah, it's interesting going back over some older work (older being only a year or three ago) and how the stories feel like they're from another epoch. It's strange, but it feels good to have grown and changed since then.

I bought a thing of Seattle's Best beans but I've only made coffee twice since then. For some reason I can never make it very well. At work I drink French roast, but I don't know what company makes it.

I read Toussaint's Television last year. I'm still thinking about it. If you liked Bathroom, I'll read that, too.

Sometimes I read every third word of your posts, then I comment on the post, then I go back and read all the words I missed to see how wrong I was about what you wrote about. I do know it is a sin to brew shitty coffee. Instant coffee must only be consumed in life-or-death situations, like right before a frozen dawn when you know there will be close contact with the enemy, with cold bayonets, knives, pistol-butts, and hand grenades. All that said, when you brew coffee, don't brew it stronger than whatever the bean can take -- an inferior bean has a chalky flat brown look to it, a superior bean is glossy, oily and darker in color. The inferior bean is dry, and not very aromatic, superior beans are delicious smelling and it is even acceptable to eat a few to see if they are as good as they smell. Superior beans can be brewed at the highest concentrations you wish -- but filter the boiling water through the grinds one time, and one time only. God bless us all.

Adam: I'd like to try Seattle's Best. I always have a tough time brewing my coffee just right. Maybe I need to clean out my thermos and travel mug. I like French roast. I'm trying a new South Pacific blend from Maxwell House (I know, I know, cheap and unsophisticated), and I like it.
Ortho: I've got Television in queue after I finish Camera. Yes, The Bathroom is worth a read. It surprised me in a few ways. I'm glad I could not have simply read the cover copy and had pretty much read the book. That's not the case at all. I'll be interested to hear what you think.
CM: That's okay, I only write about every third word of my posts, so you're probably getting everything. Thanks for the tips on coffee, etc, that's the kind of stuff I always want to know but am too lazy to just research and find out. So, thanks. You are a glossy aromatic bean, CM.

Why, in all beer commercials, are the men idiots and slobs. But married to hot controlling wives?
Gender theory? Gender questions?
1.) Can't these women do better?
2.) Men are children who need control, some religious idea. Hell (DH Lawrence) as free. Heaven as bars/chains.
3.) Others.

I put ripe fruit or gum into the filter and then brew the coffee with it. Tastes like shit.

It has been proven you can fix bad coffee with things like chicory, gunpowder, mummy dust, vinegar, asphalt, and even large additions of medicinal alcohol.

Sean, yes, now that I am super sensitive to this seeming glee at portraying a meathead male in most commercials, I see it everywhere. There's a Cheerio's commercial with a man and a woman arguing because the man assumed the woman was eating said cereal because it is 'low in fat' and she proceeds to wear a droopy-eyed glare for the rest of the commercial until the man admits that he ought to just shut up. I see I'm not the only one who was irritated by this commercial (which maybe means it worked (except I haven't gotten any Cheerios, so maybe not)). Then there's the yogurt commercial where the woman is standing at the edge of the kitchen and talking to her friend on the phone and telling all of the great flavors of yogurt she's been eating. Getting the url's for these is the first time I'd looked these up on YouTube and saw the comments that basically echo what irritated me so much about the commercials.
I use old socks for filters sometimes, and that does pretty much the same thing as the used gum etc; or I lay hair down and filter through that. Works every time. Gun powder sounds good, too.
LOVE BUZZ is my new brand of coffee. yes.

LARP workout (or gamer workout, or min-max workout)
You want to get in shape to pwn faces at a larp? I can help.
To put this in perspective, I'm sitting at 270 lbs. as of this writing. 270 pounds of shit in a 200 pound bag. Nevertheless, I can fight and fight and fight. The heat does gets to me more than it used to when I was lighter, but I'm outwinding most folks a lot younger and definitely a lot lighter.
How? I do a lot of cardio. For fitness newbs, I'm gonna drop two terms on you, LISS and HIIT.
LISS stands for Light Intensity Steady State. When most folks talk about cardio, they talk about this. LISS is getting on the elliptical for 20 minutes while watching a sitcom. LISS is also running a marathon. It pretty much means getting your heart rate up to X and keeping it there.
LISS has a lot of pluses, the main one being that it is easy to start with no equipment but running shoes. Stretch for 5 minutes, and start jogging. It is also hard (but not impossible) to injure yourself with LISS.
Unfortunately, it's boring as hell for a lot of people.
How to Min-Max your LISS like a gamer
Use a heartrate monitor. These are cheap, and strap under your boob/moobs. They now bluetooth sync with your smartphone, and most exercise machines at the gym.
You min-max this by staying in a heartrate range for your workout. Google that shit, I'm not repeating it here.
This gives you the best cardio workout effects, and also has the side benefit of making it slightly less boring as you watch your heart rate attempt to dive below your target number and you start pumping that shit up.
HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training. (it also goes by "wind sprints" or Tabata if you want to google this stuff). In it's purest form, you go as hard as you can at a cardio exercise (for example – sprinting) for X seconds and then take a short break for Y seconds.
How to Min-Max your HIIT like a gamer
Use your smartphone and get a HIIT timer app. I used to do HIIT back in the stone age (the 90s) with a handheld stopwatch. The smartphones make it so much easier (and motivating).
You can also modify HIIT, however, to get some muscular benefits as well. Currently I do a cycle that is:
- Jumping Jacks
- Pushups
- Mountain Climbers
- Air Squats
HIIT is the main reason I can outlast people in a LARP fight at this weight. HIIT makes you learn to breathe while exerting yourself, and seriously stresses your short-term endurance.
Do Squats and Pushups. Period.
(1) Both use more muscles than you can count. Pushups somehow uses your lats (back), and significantly. Ass-To-Grass squats hit almost everything from the ribcage down.
(2) Both will teach you breathing, or rather, teach you to puke because you suck at breathing. Both of these exercises constrict your diaphragm, making it hard to breath during certain parts of the motion.
