The sign of GM's impending financial distress is first seen in 2005. GM reported a net loss of more than $10 billion and has continued to post annual losses since that time with losses reaching almost $31 billion in 2008. GM's cash flow from operations in 2005 was a negative $16.8 billion.
Reviewing GM's stock price, we can see that the stock price also decreased dramatically started in 2004 to 2008. In 2005, GM's stock traded around $19 per share and reached the lowest of $1.45 per share on March 2009.

According to About News, November 2008 was the end of investment banking. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, two of the most successful investment banks on Wall Street, became regular commercial banks, ending an era of deregulation and high risk.
By the end of 2008, the stock market crashed. The Dow was down 34%, closing at 8,816.62. Other indices did worse: the S$P declined 38% and the MSCI Europe Index was down 45%.

After filling bankruptcy, two entities were created: the old GM and new GM.

Netflix CEO Reed Hastings Predicts 50% Of TV Viewing From Web In Decade: UBS Confab
Netflix CEO Reed Hastings had the best line of the day at the UBS Annual Global Media and Communications Conference. Told that last year his company was the object of "mystique, envy and fear" at the confab, Hastings said: "Now it's just pity." Well, yes — considering that his company's stock has fallen 77% since mid-July, when Netflix boosted prices by 60% for consumers who wanted to continue to receive DVDs and stream videos. "We had done so many difficult things that we became overconfident," Hastings says. "Our big obsession for the year was, 'Let's not live and die by DVD.' " But the change "turned out to be a little too fast. … We berate ourselves tremendously for that lack of insight." But his appearance at the UBS gathering was designed to demonstrate that Netflix is back on track — and that its shares are worth buying again. For investors who believe that Web video is going to soar, "we're the leading play on that thesis. … As long as we don't shoot ourselves in the foot anymore, it's a great opportunity." He adds that "there's no effective competitor for exactly what we do."
Hastings predicted that within the next 10 years about half of all TV viewing will come via the Internet. He says that TV manufacturers "want you to live in their device." While about a third of TV sets sold today can connect directly to the Internet, "in a few years most of the TVs sold will be smart TVs. … It's a phenomenal revolution." The biggest loser will be broadcast TV, he says. "It'll be declining like land-line telephony. … To some degree we'll look at broadcast in 20 years as being like (telephone) party lines." And as broadband providers include more fiber optic lines in their networks, they'll be able to transmit Internet video at speeds of 1 gigabit per second. "Peak Netflix viewing on a Saturday night could still fit through one fiber optic (line)," he says. "A gigabit is a tiny fraction of what's possible over fiber optic." Hastings says that providers shouldn't have to raise prices, or resort to usage-based pricing, to handle all of that Internet video traffic — although they might try to do so. "It would be unfortunate because it's not based on the costs," which are fixed, he says. Consumers also might balk. "Time Warner Cable tried it a couple of years ago in Texas and backed down. … I doubt it will happen." (more…)

Here are a list of ten simple tips to help you when you are learning to develop your Spirit Guide communication. These are important and though they are in no particular order, they are equally important!
Tip #1
Tip #1
Know Who You Are Working With
Tip #2
When you begin to work on developing your Spirit Guide communication, you are opening the door to the spirit world so you will naturally open the door to other spirits as well. This is something that is important for you to have knowledge about and something you should be aware of. If you are not aware of this, you could receive information from spirits who are not your Spirit Guide. Even spirits who do not have your best interest at heart; yes, as much as I never wanted to believe in bad intentioned spirits, it is true, it can happen! This is why you should never, ever, play with a Ouija board. To avoid working with spirits who are not your Spirit Guide, there are a few things you should know to help you tell the difference, as well as steps you should take to specifically ask for the spirit contact to be with your Spirit Guide or spirits of the highest vibration. That being said, I will give you some simple steps to help you avoid attracting undesirables.
Tip #2
Say a Prayer First
Tip #3
When you are trying to contact or connect with your Spirit Guide, always, always say a prayer first and ask for only the highest vibration of spirits who are working for your greatest good to come through. Something along the lines of, "I would like to make contact with my Spirit Guide, I am asking for my Spirit Guide to come in and make contact with me. Only the highest vibration of spirits are allowed to make contact with me, those who come from the white light of the Holy Spirit, amen," or, "I would only like to speak with my Spirit Guide, who comes with the highest vibration and from the white light of the Holy Spirit, all other spirits are not allowed to make contact with me." You get the idea.
Tip #3
Spirits Are Attracted To Us When We Think Of Them
Tip #4
Yes, it is true, when you think of a spirit they tend to come in. So if you feel a spirit around you during a meditation, you can ask them to show themselves to you or ask them if they have any messages for you and just feel their presence. When you ask them a question, make sure to stay in the state of allowing, in order for the pictures to come in. If there are no pictures, then just feel their presence and enjoy the feeling of them making themselves known to you on the physical plane. Feeling their presence does just as much as allowing as far as strengthening the connection. For example, if you see a spirit in your mind's eye, use all of your senses. Feel them, allow the vision of them to form, and listen to hear if they are saying anything. Spirits are attracted to you when you think of them because when you think of them, it is like you are calling for them. They hear the call in the spiritual realm and they come to you. This is also why it is very common for you to feel loved ones who have passed over when you are thinking of them. If you are thinking of someone and feel their presence, close your eyes and just concentrate on that feeling, just feel them. Then allow any pictures to float in and out with no judgment, because they may try to tell you something. Many times it is just that they love you or they are watching over you, something along those lines. They do not give you lotto numbers!
Tip #4
Spirit Guides Do Not Come To You or Present Themselves
To You With Physical Disabilities
Tip #5
Generally spirits in the spirit world do not have any physical disabilities they may have had here on earth. If you see a spirit who is deformed or you perceive them as angry, confused, or unhappy, you may be encountering an earth bound spirit or what people like to call a ghost. When you are learning to develop your spirit communication skills, it is wise to avoid contact with such spirits. If you encounter a spirit who makes you uncomfortable, you should repeat the prayer for protection, a prayer like I mentioned in tip #2, until you feel them leave or you feel comfortable. Also, imagine a barrier of white light surrounding you that only the highest vibration spirits can penetrate. Lastly ask for your Angels to come in, and remove any low vibration spirits from your area and take them away. After your Angels come in, the uncomfortable spirit should be gone. When you become more experienced and advanced in communicating with spirits, you may want to try to help earth bound spirits by encouraging them to go to the white light so that they can transition to the "Other Side." You can ask for Angles or loved ones to come in to try and help them make the transition. There is also a process of explaining to them that they are no longer physically alive, but for now, it is good just to concentrate on working with your Spirit Guide.
Tip #5
Write Things/Experiences Down
Tip #6
It is a good practice for you to write down all of your experiences afterwards. Often, you may find that a message will become clearer when you write it down. During the moment you are receiving information you are in the process of allowing, or in a state of no resistance. When you are doing this, you are working more with the right brain. When you write things down, you will switch into a different mode of remembering and analyzing; this is where you will switch from right brain to left brain. When you make this transition from right brain to left brain, sometimes it can help you to remember things or little details you may have missed otherwise. Write your experiences down as if you are writing a letter to someone else. Explain your experience in great detail so when you read it later, you can recall the experience more vividly. During this writing process you may actually receive even more information and sometimes it can turn into an automatic writing session without you even being aware of it. This process allows you to move from right brain to left brain more fluidly because you are still tuned into the spirit realm and you are not so focused on your belief system. So when you begin to write, your barriers are already down. All kinds of amazing information can come through this way (I have an exercise for this coming up.)
Tip #6
Never Do Anything You Would Not Normally Do
Tip #7
What I mean by this is exactly what it says; never do anything that you would not otherwise do because you think a spirit told you to do it, or that you are being "guided" in some way. Spirits do not usually "tell" you to do something in particular. They will not tell you that you should get a divorce or make an investment of some kind. When you are communicating with your Spirit Guide it is more like they are showing you what path is best to take and why. You are meant to receive this information, weigh it with all the other knowledge you have, and then make a decision. Your Spirit Guide's role is to help you consider all things physical and spiritual before guiding you towards a decision. They are here to offer you spiritual guidance; their job is not to be a dictator. View it as more of a joint collaboration than being told what to do. Low vibration spirits, on the other hand, can and in some instances will try to influence you into making a certain decision; decisions which are meant to cause you issues or problems. Low vibration spirits can have bad intentions. In the beginning you may have difficulty distinguishing your Spirit Guide from other spirits. So if the information feels good and right in your heart, then it is pretty safe to say it is good information. If it just doesn't feel right, then don't jump into anything without further consideration.
Tip #7
Physical Sensations Are Common
You may feel physical sensations around your head, neck, ears, back, or in other parts of your body. This can be an indication of your Spirit Guides working with healing energy to give you a healing or working on your electromagnetic system in order to help you become more sensitive to receive spirit communications. The interesting thing is that these sensations usually come after or between working on your spirit communication and development, instead of during (besides the heating up that I talked about in the chakra chapter). Some of these sensations can include things like:
· Tingling Sensation
· Prickly Sensation
· Feeling Hot/Cold
· Hot Spots
Assuming that you have a clean bill of health, if you are working on developing your spirit communication skills, these things can be common. What confuses people is that these sensations can occur at any time, and it's not usually during spirit contact. A couple of these things used to happen to me when I was younger and working hard on my own communication skills. I used to get a prickly hot and cold feeling all over my body, for a while I thought it was a sign of dehydration. But, I drank lots of water and had regular checkups, and physically I was fine. These prickly sensations would usually last about one to two hours and go away. At the time, I would also usually have a "knowing" or visions of being worked on energetically by my Spirit Guides. It seemed as if my electrical system, or electromagnetic system, was being rewired, and in an odd way, that's what it felt like. This would usually last a couple of days then disappear for several months. I do not get them anymore. Another thing that would happen is, I would get hot spots all over my body, accompanied with the same visions. It felt like someone was holding a lighter to my skin, only from the inside. I would have many of these hot spots going on at one time all over my body. They didn't hurt, but it was really annoying! Why does this happen? It's like I mentioned before, when you are truly committed to working with your Spirit Guides, your physical system usually needs some adjustment. So your Spirit Guides work with your inner "electrical" system in order to make it possible for you to raise your vibration to a very high level. Imagine that you have an old electrical system in your house and you rewire it so you can install a whole new communication system; it's like that. If this does happen to you, you will know, because it feels like it sounds, like you are being rewired! Don't worry about it though, it doesn't hurt, it's just a strange feeling.
Tip #8
Be Consistent
Tip #9
If you really want to develop your ability to work with your Spirit Guides, consistency is the key! Can you develop this ability without consistency? Yes; however, it takes longer and you will not become as advanced. When I say consistent, I do not mean it has to disrupt your daily routine, simply make it a part of your daily routine. In other words, make it part of your morning ritual or nighttime ritual or both. I used to do my Spirit Guide communication meditation every morning for about two years straight. I would get up an extra twenty to thirty minutes early, take a shower, eat, get ready, then use the extra time I had to do the meditation. I began to enjoy it very much. Starting my day this way made a difference on how I felt; I felt calmer, and I began to see a correlation between meditation in the morning and my day going smoother. On the days I didn't do the meditation, things seemed to be a little more jumbled, and things didn't seem to go as smooth, so I got to the point where I really looked forward to it. I tried to do it every day, but obviously that is hard to do, so I was happy if I could do it five times a week. What consistency does is it sets a time when your Spirit Guide knows you are looking for them. Plus, it regulates your brainwave pattern making it easier to go into the Alpha state quicker. You do not have to do the Spirit Guide meditation every day; alternately, you could do the writing exercise (which I include in the exercise portion).
Tip #9
Tip #10
If you choose to go the writing route to further develop your spirit communication skills, tip #9 is very, very important. Just to be clear, I want to tell you exactly what meditation is and why you need to do it (like I said before, I want to cover all bases). Meditation is a practice of sitting quietly, while regulating your breath using intone mantras or visualization in attempts to harmonize your mind, body, and soul. Why is this important? Well, because meditation is really effective in clearing out mind clutter as well as energetic clutter. It is knocking out two birds with one stone, so to speak, on a spiritual and physical level.
You clean your house, take showers, eat right, and maintain your physical health by getting the proper rest, etcetera. Well, it is equally important to your physical and spiritual health to keep your mind and your energetic field as clutter free as possible. This will allow you to operate at your most efficient level.
There have been some extensive studies done on meditation and the most noteworthy finding of these studies seemed to show in the EEG measuring of brain wave patterns. During your waking consciousness, brain waves are random and chaotic. The brain usually operates with different wavelengths from the front to the back of the brain, and from hemisphere to hemisphere. Meditation changes this drastically. Subjects in meditation show increased Alpha waves and these waves continue to increase throughout the duration of the meditation. Also, the front and the back of the brain begin to synchronize as well as the left and the right hemispheres. In other words, the different areas of your brain begin to work together synchronistically! There has been documented research, which shows that the daily practice of meditation creates a more efficient, integrated brain functioning. After a few months, this integration in the brain is not just noticed during the meditation state but during daily activity as well. I can personally attest to this, as it helped me learn how to go into the Alpha state quickly, and at will, for when I do psychic readings.
Health wise, meditation has also been linked to lowering blood pressure, helping with anxiety and depression just to name a few. Not to mention the spiritual aspects of raising your vibration, intuitive development and raising your consciousness.
Here is a meditation exercise I designed to help you work more efficiently with the Universal Laws. I suggest doing some type of meditation at least once a day, I personally recommend for you to do it in the morning if you only have time for one meditation. Morning meditation, I have noticed, definitely sets the tone of your day.
Tip #10
Be Patient!
You can learn more in "Keys to the Spirit World"
This is the one tip I think people struggle with the most: being patient. Like I said before, I spent two years consistently working on my spirit communication development and doing the Spirit Guide communication meditation at least four to five times a week. I spent three more years advancing and developing that skill to the best of my ability, a total of five years! Not to mention spirit communication is what I do for a living, so I practice my skill for many, many hours every single day. Does that mean you have to do what I did or do now? Absolutely not! Unless, of course, you want to tell other people what their Spirit Guides wish them to know, or what Grandma has to say, for a living. But do not try this a few times and think, "This doesn't work!" You need to be committed and realistic, and know it's a process. It's not easy what I do; if everyone did it, there would be no need for psychics or mediums. In other words, it's like anything else: if you want to learn to play golf, you take lessons and you practice. If you want to learn to surf, you take lessons and you practice. If you want to learn to ski, you take lessons and you practice. You get the point!

For a long time I resisted pinning inspirational quotes on Pinterest, but at some point I came across a quote that resonated with me and I decided to start a meditation pinboard. From time to time I read through it and somehow I manage to find sayings that reflect how I'm feeling at that particular moment. Today I'd like to share a few of my favorite ones. They all encourage authenticity, courage and self love.
Do you have any favorite motivational quotes to share?

The difficulty of this situation is the fact that like everyone you want the top dollar for your car. If you itemize your deductions, and you tax bracket permits, you'll be able to take a tax write-off on your used car donation. You may want to make an intensive research over the internet or by word of mouth from friends who may have acquaintances with someone who owns a classic car. In addition, the manufacturer may be offering special incentives for the new car.
The list of reasons is endless, but to mention some, this is a method used by lending banks to issue car loans, or analyze your assets. We're nationwide diminished value appraisers and a leading provider of diminished value reports that can help you document, demand, negotiate, and recover automobile diminished value after a car accident.
First published in 1926 for banks, auto dealers and other businesses, the Kelley Blue Book quickly set the standard for used vehicle value guides. Establish the lotto game that you want to play and track down the winning numbers exactly how it is described in the lotto black book. Some local papers will extend your ad for an additional week for a nominal charge or for free if the vehicle is not sold in one week.
The basic reason that you will want to use the Kelly Blue Book is to find out the value of your car, or to find out how much the going rate is for a used car. The pricing of a classic car would vary on the kind of classic car you own like if its a collectible car, a special interest car, an exotic car, a classic truck or van or SUV, a muscle car, a sports car, a luxury car or a classic passenger car. To get a more accurate value of the car you want, check out the Kelley Blue Book and write the price down. Depending on which body style you want, car make is very important car makes add up to Book values for classic cars. If you have a right hand drive car in England, that will have more value than a left hand drive.
While new car sales for VW have staid flat for the month of September (compared with a double digit gains for other major manufacturers), there are some reports that the market for used TDI models affected by the scandal is rather brisk. A car dealer is no different than any other merchant in that they have to buy inventory to resell.

5:30 p.m. and I'm home from the hospital. All went well. I'm a little sorer this time than the previous two. I'll have results next week some time. I had a port implanted yesterday so I look a little like a warrior! ;)
Bill fixed me up with 7Up and Campbell's soup then went to pick up Will & Liam from a friend's house where they had a play date this afternoon after school.
We'll probably be lying low this weekend... Sunday is Liam's "Forever Family Day" -- we brought him home from Korea three years ago!

Healthy Snacking - One Day of Success!
One day is better than no days, right? And with three days to go in the week, I can turn this around, I'm sure of it.
I only had one snack yesterday and it was a protein bar at work. Maybe not like the most healthiest snack ever, but it definitely was not peanut M&Ms.
For years now, I've tried to avoid having junk food snacks in the house, at least the ones I'll be interested in eating. We could have a cabinet full of chips and most days I could care less, but bring in some sort of chocolate and I turn into a fiend. I can't let it just sit there, especially after a few beers.
Actually, I didn't drink at all for about five years in my 30's and I still had that problem, so that isn't the entire problem. I just like sweets.
At any rate, I just wanted to share my one day of success! Here's to a successful weekend.
Week Sixteen: Diet - Healthy Snacking

It is midterms this week for Sophia and her midterm for her Humanities class was to attend a cultural event. It just so happens that the Celtic Fair fell on midterms week so we decided that would be the cultural event/experience she would use for her assignment.
This was supposed to be a Celtic Fair but it felt more like a Medieval fair. Most of the exhibits had nothing to do with scotland or Ireland. There were even some vikings there showing off their culture. And there was one group of people dressed up as fairys showing off exotic bugs. A bit of a mishmash of different things. I guess they are all related to the celts. I was just expecting a bit more Bagpipes and scottish dancing.
We did catch the end of one dance performance where they showed off a few scottish dances to the sounds of bagpipes but that was about the only 10 minutes of this event that really felt celtic. The kids all seemed to agree that this year was fun but not quite as good as when we came the year before.
It was an experience for me because I was the only adult that went with this group of kids. I had to keep track of all 8 and sometimes 9 of them (a friend tagged along with our group too).
Fun day, lots of sunshine and fresh air. Those are always good thing!

Nancy Blum
On first look, the flowers that are the primary subject of Nancy Blum's work are reassuringly familiar. But look for a few moments, and you begin to notice that things are not what they seem. Within her botanical drawings, Nancy uses icons like a drawing of a plum blossom strongly outlined in black ink and shadowy spirographs that mimic the shape of a flower and also evoke the space age. The flowers in her drawings do not live side by side in the physical world, yet in her work their are intimately intertwined. They are botanical superheroes with agency and power without relation to human beings - we are not a part of their world. These plants carry on joyfully without us, a situation that is oddly comforting. The riotous energy that is barely contained in Nancy's detailed wonderlands doesn't depend on us.
Nancy Blum, New Work, guest curated by Ashley Kistler, is on view at Reynolds Gallery through December 22nd.

As you might have already guessed I'm pretty lipstick obsessed! I can't even contain my excitement when it comes to writing about these new lipsticks launching this fall from 4U2 Cosmetics. I've already done a swatching video below showcasing each shade on the lips and the stunning creamy texture that just keeps your lips feeling hydrated all day. I must admit I'm a huge matte fan but this satin formula from the Lipaholic range is absolutely gorgeous.
When swatching all fourteen shades for my latest YouTube video it was a dream to see each shade in the flesh compared to me doing photographs and placing them on my blog! I have still included one finished look and swatches but must admit filming each shade was a lot more fun. I can't wait to film more videos like this and get some makeup looks up for you guy's as it's something I've enjoyed doing and editing together; anyway back to the review itself and I will talk you through the brand and more about each lipstick.
4U2 Cosmetics* is a family run business that started in Los Angeles, but has since expanded with a wide range of cosmetics launching this fall and even better each product is cruelty-free (which is a huge must for me when it comes to using any skincare/makeup products). The Lipaholic range is HUGE!! Fourteen shades in total and if you want to see each one in action then make sure to watch my video below and even better I've swatched each shade from the lightest to the darkest and removed each one before applying the other, this representing the true colour to the best of my ability. 4U2 Cosmetics has not yet confirmed prices for each product featured in the collection but I can imagine these will be going for well under £10 once they launch online, and I for one can't wait!!
These creamy lipsticks have definitely stolen my heart and I've been wearing them constantly, even more so than my beloved mattes. The intensity of each shade really is impeccable, after my first application on the lighter shades it's easy to see you can get away with applying once. As for the darker shades, some of these could do with a lip liner to get a more precise finish and do take two coats to get the best results. The pigmentation definitely get's me and it's something that keeps me coming back for more! I have a couple of favourites from the collection but overall the entire range is very flattering and I can't really fault anything about these lipsticks apart from the packaging. I find the bullet on the light side and it's not as sturdy compared to other lipsticks I've tried! Yes, this is a budget brand but I feel the plastic packaging would be more acceptable to breaking in your bag or if you're like me and leave things lying on the floor.
What're your thoughts on the new lipophilic collection launching soon from 4U2 Cosmetics?

In Tuesday's post, I discussed one of the most popular quotes about lemons. Today, I would like to focus on the lemon itself. Lemon (citrus limon) is a delightfully sour and acidic citrus fruit that grows on trees.
According to Encyclopaedia Britannica (2015), the lemon appeared in Spain and North Africa in the earliest part of the 2nd century, and then appeared throughout Europe during the Crusades (1095-1192). The interesting thing about the dispersion of lemon during the Crusades is that it coincides with some of the first written accounts of scurvy a condition caused by Vitamin C deficiency. In the 13th century, Jacques de Vitry's historical account of the Crusades noted the symptoms of the disease (Prinzo, 1999, p. 9)
A large number of men in our army were attacked also by a certain pestilence, against which the doctors could not find any remedy in their art. A sudden pain seized the feet and legs; immediately afterwards the gums and teeth were attacked by a sort of gangrene, and the patients could not eat any more. Then the bones of the legs became horribly black, and so, after the greatest patience, a large number of Christians went to rest on the bosom of the Lord.
Jacques de Vitry
Despite a somewhat increased ability to access the lemon, which offered the potential for cure, scurvy remained widespread in the general population as the treatments of the day proved largely ineffective. Scurvy was particularly prevalent in northern climates and during the dark winter months and among sailors. It was not until the mid-18th century when "James Lind carried out his famous controlled clinical trial on board a British naval vessel. To prove conclusively the power of lemons and oranges over popular remedies" (Prinzo, 1999, p. 11).
Besides preventing scurvy, which still exists, you might be wondering if there are any additional health benefits to a lemony snack. Pop quiz: What is the most prevalent vitamin or mineral in a lemon? Did you guess Vitamin C? Do not be afraid if you did, as it is a common misconception. The correct answer is potassium. Lemons contain potassium at a rate more than double that of Vitamin C. (For 1 cup: 293 mg and 112.4 mg respectively)!
According to the United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service, 1 cup of lemon also contains 55 mg of calcium and 59.1 mg of hesperetin, a flavanone . Hesperetin? Now that is something worth discussing. Hesperetin occurs naturally in the flesh of citrus fruits. According to the PubChem Substance and Compound database, it "may have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, hypolipidemic, vasoprotective and anticarcinogenic actions". In non-technical language, it has the potential to reduce the risk of cancer, can protect the heart through a reduction in systemic inflammation (also strongly associated with many chronic diseases) and cholesterol, and reduces allergic responses. That is cool stuff!
Given all of the potential benefits of consuming lemons, I am sure that you are ready to head to your nearest source of lemons and start eating. Not so fast! There are a couple of problems. The first is that dietary studies are rarely able to isolate a specific component of a food, so it is difficult to tell if the benefit is conferred by the hesperetin alone or if requires interaction with other elements of the lemon. Further, there is no current RDI (recommended daily intake) for hesperetin, and at this point, it is not worth trying to guess what might work for your individual needs. However, it is safe to say that a lemon is a very tasty addition to your well-balanced diet.

I sent her over my inspiration and she was so in love! I knew I had nailed the idea! Since we are in October, I knew we could get away with a little creepy Halloweenish style engagement.

Preconfigured Linux Distributions From TurnKey LinuxSystems Administration June 12, 2015 2 Comments on Preconfigured Linux Distributions From TurnKey Linux 536
One of the issues that people run into when they decide to deploy or test a Linux server is that many times they don't know everything that is required to make a specific service work. If you want to build a server to host WordPress you need Apache, PHP, MySQL and preferably MyPHPAdmin before you try to install WordPress. If you plan to deploy the server to a production environment it's best that you can build it from the ground up, but if you just want to learn an app, or do basic usability tests many times you don't want to have to muddle with learning the finer points of it's configuration.
TurnKey offers you Linux distributions specifically built preconfigured to run the apps and platforms you are likely to want to play with. All you do is download the ISO, run through the installation routine, and you have a fully functional box. You can have a WordPress, Drupal or SAMBA server literally running in minutes and be able to immediately work with the platform instead of worrying about the php.ini file.
I've personally used TurnKey Linux distributions in the past and they work very well. The only issue I have run into is that sometimes they can be outdated. Again I would highly recommend building your own systems from scratch if you'll be deploying the finished system, but if you are simply testing or learning this is a great resource. So many times new techs become frustrated with Linux and give up because they don't realize they need to make a few changes to the .ini files. With TurnKey you get to use a working system, and then go back and figure out how to build it yourself.

Hi Eli,
Thanks very much for your article about us.
I just wanted to comment on your conclusions re using TurnKey. I acknowledge that our appliances have become quite outdated. But I wanted to alert your readers that we are currently in the process of updating all of our appliances. And our plan moving forward is to provide more regular updates.
As for building your own systems for production, why do you recommend that over using TurnKey? We don't profess to provide the a server that will be everything to everyone but they are adequate to use in production as-is for those lacking in experience and make a great base product for more experienced users to build on. Also our custom backup solution (TKLBAM) makes migrating local (VM) development to cloud based production incredibly easy.
Also all our appliance build code is open source (on GitHub). So if you (or anyone else) has tweaks or changes that you believe would make our appliances better in production then please feel free to contribute. Even if we disagree on your tweaks, you can download our appliance build code, edit it and/or update it and build your own ISO and/or you can configure TKLBAM to include specific steps to ensure that your custom base OS tweaks are included with your data migration.
Anyway, thanks again for the mention.

Answers have come to Deathmatch, and they couldn't have come at a better time. In my review of issue six, I worried whether the plot of this series was beginning to cool beneath its slow-ish burn, and while the pace of its mystery doesn't necessarily pick up, Jenkins has managed to inject some gratifying answers into the story without giving away anything too important, at least not in terms of the book's long game and more overarching questions. We're drawing closer to the tootsie roll center of this thing, but by circling it, answering one of its smaller (yet pivotal) mysteries in a flashback-laden conversation between this universe's Superman (The Meridian) and its Spider-Man (Dragonfly). The truth behind a crisis surrounding something called The Rift is finally revealed, as is the true identity of the series' sparkly pink energy beast from a couple issues back. SPOILER: it's not Richard Simmons.
Amidst the three fights that follow - the most remarkable of which sees a pretty intense affair, with both classic and fresh repartee cast between the lady-Batman known as Sable and her nemesis, Chuckles - we continue to receive coy, clever teases stroking the throbbing mystery straining behind the pants of this book. There is so much going on here - such in-depth universe building, it would be easy to get lost if Jenkins didn't run such a tight ship; very little seems wasted or cursory in Deathmatch, a trend I'm happy to see back on track and continuing throughout the series.
By the end of this issue, Deathmatch begins to feel like the film Memento, in that this may not only be a collaborative effort, but very much an "inside" job. With an explosive and hugely unexpected ending (the ramifications of which I sure as hell hope are not permanent), this offering may otherwise appear fairly exposition-heavy, but Jenkins proves once again adept at splicing his more verbose moments with gratifying action; a hallmark of this series as a whole.
There is, however, an issue beginning to surface within some of the voices here, in that, barring a few notable examples like Rat, Chuckles and Omni-Engine's sick, slick "inside voice," it feels like they are beginning to coagulate into one homogenous cadence. Sable sounds like Dragonfly, the Manchurian sounds like the Meridian, etc.
In other words, where a more nuanced characterization was established previously throughout this personality-rich cast of characters, in issue seven, the varying articulation feels more generic than I'm used to in Deathmatch. This may be a plot point, but I sort of doubt it. Mind you, nor do I believe it to be a negative game-changer; more of a hiccup during a particularly plot-driven issue.
The art from Carlos Magno continues to fit the story like a fully-textured terrycloth glove. It's got this lithe stone feel to it that makes the universe feel fully-realized, even from its nascency; although it's only seven issues old, the characters and the world they are forced to inhabit feel deep, scarred and heaving. It really is impressive how this team has been able to give birth to such a well-formed organism all at once, and then develop it further into one of the most compelling superhero stories in the market today.
Props again need to go to Michael Garland, who continues to light the dark corners of this gladiatorial world with bright, sickening flashes of color. His and Magno's collaboration here has successfully etched deep grooves into these pages in a way that should make other creative teams sit up and take note - this is how superhero comics in the 21st Century should be drawn.
As ever, Deathmatch was a highlight this month, as issue seven continues the series' build into what I think will be a very satisfying final conflagration. If you're not reading this, it's you who needs to be locked away.

I started Teaching Personnel in July 2016 as a trainee SEN Recruitment Consultant and I absolutely love my job!
Before joining TP I was an account manager for a premium cosmetics brand, however I decided to take a step back from this role. The reason why I joined the education SEN sector was to make a difference to SEN pupils lives. I joined TP because of the progression and development that is offered, as well as the fact that we are specialists within education and have three branches dedicated for the sourcing of SEN staffing . I have never looked back since!
I received my first promotion after three months at TP, which was just after I had passed my probation period. After that in February 2017, I became branch manager from a Level 1 consultant at the time, which was exactly what I had set out to achieve coming into TP.
Despite having left the cosmetic industry, in my spare time still love to do makeup for my friends and family.

Synaptic Design has partnered with long-time affiliated program Destination Imagination to bring neuroscience and design thinking to America's youth! This year, we are bringing Telepathic Arm Wrestling, a giant neuron balloon, surgical training and Wander Missions to the Global Finals tournament in Knoxville Tennessee May 20-24!
"I and I (also spelled I&I, InI, or Ihi yahnh Ihi) is a complex term, referring to the oneness of Jah (God) and every human. Rastafari scholar E. E. Cashmore: "I and I is an expression to totalize the concept of oneness. 'I and I' as being the oneness of two persons. So God is within all of us and we're one people in fact. I and I means that God is within all men."
This painting is a self portrait referencing the oneness of the body mind and spirit with nature. Inspired by the Californian coastline and patterns of abalone shells from a road trip across the west cost, i&i explores identity and natural patterns.
~ Natalie Doud
Synaptic Design is 1 Year Old
It's hard to believe we've been at this for over a year now. So far, we have hosted creativity workshops, produced medical training apps, delivered our surgical trainers (Medjules) to medical students in Uganda and the University of Minnesota, spoken about passion projects at conferences like AHA and MobCon and collaborated with many exciting local makers like The Choosatron and the Innovation Salon!
Here's to another year of making, inventing, designing and doing what we are passionate about!

Steel Forks & Plastic Knives
Anyone who has spent time in an American airport in the last 13 years knows all too well the absurdity that can come from an unchecked desire for security. There is something about the way we treat security that feels a bit misguided.Read More
The Creation of Atom
I have been obsessed with creation myths since I was a child. Imagining how we came to be felt like a secret subversion of power. My stories were equally valid as any of the ones I had been told by adults. The more science I would tie in, the more valid my theories felt. We can all imagine and we can all create. The very fact that we are human endows us with the power to create and that makes us incredibly powerful. The Creation of Atom celebrates and explores the idea of creation and imagination.
Alex Doud speaks at American Heart Association
Alex's research shows 'Virtual reality hands' may help stroke survivors recover hand function.
Last week, founder Alex Doud spoke at the American Heart Association Conference in Dallas, TX. He shared his research involving the use of virtual hands and brain-computer interface to improve rehabilitation after stroke.
Read the full interview at AHA's newsroom
"Using a brain-computer interface, we've created an environment where people who may be too physically impaired to move can practice mental imagery to help regain use of their arms and hands," said Alexander Doud, M.S., lead author.
Synaptic Design Brings Laparoscopic Skills Trainers to New Simulation Center in Uganda
Our team has been working hard to bring our low cost surgical skills trainers to the newly formed simulation center in Mulago Hospital in Kampala, Uganda.
Medjules are a suite of modular trainers intended to objectively asses skills such as knot-tying, suturing, and tool articulation. Each new skill comes in the form of a modular top to be attached to the universal base.
Like a 3D game of "Operation" meets "Simon Says", the tool articulation task tracks speed and accuracy while transferring metal rings from one S-shaped post to the next. This Medjule records the frequency and duration of error each time a ring touches a post.
Medjules are being developed for use within the University of Minnesota curriculum. For more information on Medjules, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com
Weekly Wisdom #12
Actions often seem brash or self centered when viewed out of context. When actions make no sense, we must first make the assumption that we are missing context.
Weekly Wisdom #11
Do not forget to be patient. Growth, change, everything worth while takes time.
(It's not really) About You
That's what they call the section. But surely thats not what it really is. Not anymore. Up until around a year ago, Facebook considered the "About You" portion of your profile important enough to display, you know, on the About page. But these days, that little pocket of text has been relegated to near obscurity. Go ahead, try to find it. I'll wait.
Yes, that bastion of a place where you are defined not by a list of stats, but by the words that you have chosen for yourself has been relegated to not one, not two, but 3 clicks and 2 full page scrolls down the page. Once upon a time, those words held a more prominent location. Right alongside things like... notes. Remember those?
These days, freeform writing has taken a backseat to data. I'm not here to bash Facebook and I do see the value of data. But we have lost something to this method and we feel its effect every time we meet another human.
"Whats your name?"
"What do you do?"
"Where are you from?"
I don't know. I guess I'd like to learn a little more About You than that.
Weekly Wisdom #10
We get to know just this tiny fraction of all the knowledge of all the world that our body has seen. And that's okay.
Feedback Loop
I am a positive feedback loop and an incurable optimist. I take in energy from others and send it back out with my own positive spin. When I spend time with the right people, anything is possible. I will never know where the world stops and I begin.
Weekly Wisdom #9
We all know this but it can be hard to remember. If you are feeling down, doing movement that you enjoy can transform your outlook on life. It isn't working out. It's healing, and its having fun.
The Blissful Surrender
Yogis know a little something that others do not. I like to call this the Moment of Blissful Surrender.
There is a point in every real stretch when you've hit your limit and you feel you can go no further. Your muscles begin to shake and your mind closes to the pain. At this point, you can either end the stretch, or, you can take –
A deep breath. Close your eyes. Relax.
Accept the discomfort and exhale into the Blissful Surrender. You will find that you can press further than you ever believed possible. Your body will melt and accept the position it has been placed in.
We do this all the time. In life, we find ourselves in positions where we feel we have been pushed to our limit. I assure you, we have not. We haven't even taken a breath.
Synaptic Open House
Our open house was a great success. Thanks all for coming!
Weekly Wisdom #8
For good or for bad, never underestimate the power of one.
First Date Wandering
Summer is almost over but there is still time to have the perfect, spontaneous date with Wander Wheel
Weekly Wisdom #7
I believe that there is never a reason for punishment beyond a simple consequence. And we are not all equate to each other. Sure, we are all equally valid- we should all be treated with fairness. But not equality.
Behind your mask
I think a lot about empathy. It is something that I believe is not only good for the soul but also allows us to better serve our clients. Often, we find ourselves creating boundaries between us and others. Our masks seem so different. Maybe we're even very different at a deeper level. But designing experiences for others requires trying on their mask. And in order to do that, we must identify and remove our ownRead More

In this video, Matt Granger from ThatNikonGuy/PhotoNewsReview does a preview of the Nikon D7100 DSLR camera which was introduced today. Featuring a 24.1MP DX sensor with 6fps, 51 AF-points with 15 cross-type AF points, and a weather-sealed magnesium alloy body, this is a great alternative to the Nikon D600 camera if you don't need full-frame. For videographers, this camera can go up to 30p or 60i, and features both a mic input and headphone output so you can monitor the audio that is being recorded.
I'm looking forward to see if Canon will reply to this with a 7D II in the near future.

Devin Knight discusses query folding and the View Native Query feature inside Power Query:
The idea behind Query Folding is to push the logic that you built into a Power BI query back to the data source server and execute it there in it's native language instead of doing a client side transform of the data. Why is this important? Let me give you an example. Say you have a 2 billion row SQL Server table you need to connect to in Power BI, but you want to filter to only return the last year of data. With Query Folding the filter of that data is done on the SQL Server side instead of on the client side. If Query folding did not take place than that would mean all 2 billion rows would be brought across the network only to then filtered out on the client workstation. So clearly the ideal situation is that all your queries get folded for the best possible performance, but Query Folding only works in certain scenarios.
I hadn't heard the term "query folding" before, but the concept makes sense; in the PolyBase world, it's "predicate pushdown." Check out Devin's post, as he shows how easy it is to see to what extent your query is running client-side versus server-side.
Riddhiman shows how to use R and plotly to build charts of Federal Reserve data sets:
In this post we'll try to replicate some of the charts created by the Federal Reserve which visualize some well known macroeconomic indicators. We'll also showcase the new Plotly 4.0 syntax.
This is a very code-heavy blog post and is a good way to learn about plotly.
Dave Mason looks at DDL triggers:
DDL triggers and the events they handle are run within the same transaction, which can be rolled back. This is a powerful and convenient feature. It gives you the ability to programmatically "undo" undesirable events. Let's look at a variation of the previous DROP_TABLE trigger we created. This script will create a temporary logging table, drop the previous trigger, and create it again. This time, the trigger will roll back the transaction, preventing the table from being dropped. Then it inserts a message to the log table.
There are a few gotchas here, to be sure, but DDL triggers are powerful tools.
Dustin Ryan talks about this month's batch of Power BI updates:
Searchable slicers are also a new feature in the latest release of Power BI Desktop. A couple days ago I wrote about some of my favorite custom visuals, which included the Smart Filter by SQLBI. I think I still prefer the Smart Filter in many situations, but the search-ability of the native Slicer is definitely a nice feature to have right out of the box.
The headline is row-level security, but there are several interesting features here.
Tim Radney looks at Stretch Database functionality in RTM:
Prior to learning about this new billing method for DSU, I could make the argument that using Stretch Database would be a very cost effective method for storing cold data (unused data) into the cloud. By stretching this data into Azure, you could migrate a large portion of older data, which would decrease the size (and thus cost) of your local backups. In the event you had to restore a database, you would simply have to establish the connection to Azure for the stretched data, thus eliminating the need to restore it. However, with the minimal cost being nearly $1,000 per month for the low end DSU scale, many organizations will find that it is much cheaper to retain the data on a less expensive tier of storage within their data center and find other methods for HA such as mirroring, log shipping, or Availability Groups.
Read the whole thing. Maybe V2 of stretch databases will fix some of the biggest problems (the cost, needing to pull all of your data back down before you make any schema changes, etc.) and become a viable feature, but I can't see it being one today.
Xiaoyong Zhu reports that the HDInight tool for Eclipse is now generally available:
The HDInsight Tool for Eclipse extends Eclipse to allow you to create and develop HDInsight Spark applications and easily submit Spark jobs to Microsoft Azure HDInsight Spark clusters using the Eclipse development environment. It integrates seamlessly with Azure, enabling you to easily navigate HDInsight Spark clusters and to view associated Azure storage accounts. To further boost productivity, the HDInsight tool for Eclipse also offers the capability to view Spark job history and display detailed job logs.

Brent Ozar reports on a bug in Query Store in Standard and Express editions:
If you're using SQL Server 2016's awesome new feature, Query Store, there's a new bug with automatic cleanup. Books Online explains:
Automatic data cleanup fails on editions other than Enterprise and Developer. Consequently, space used by the Query Store will grow over time until configured limit is reached, if data is not purged manually. If not mitigated, this issue will also fill up disk space allocated for the error logs, as every attempt to execute cleanup will produce a dump file.
Here's hoping that bug gets fixed quickly.
Jon Morisi looks at an oddity with the way that sp_help shows column length:
I was working with a contractor today who was having difficulty providing me back details on a table definition. I was specifically interested in a particular column's data type and size. (This was related to an ETL process I was working on, and my desire to avoid any implicit conversions).
The reply I got back was, "the column you're interested in is an nvarchar(100)". After continued digging and troubleshooting, I was eventually able to sort out that it was actually an nvarchar(50).
I put together this TEST table to illustrate where the confusion came from. Can you spot what's going on?
There's an interesting explanation which makes me dislike sp_help just a little bit more.
