Malin Akerman, an increasingly valuable movie secret weapon that's livened up a plethora of films in the past several years, has another star-turn in "Rock of Ages," the big-screen version of Broadway's ode to 80s pop metal. As the Rolling Stone reporter who peels back more than the personality layers of Tom Cruise's ego-fueled rocker Stacee Jaxx during a backstage interview, Akerman transforms into very inch the 80s video vixen. "There is an ease about her," her director Adam Shankman explains. "She takes her work very seriously, but you don't feel that. It's not that in your face feeling, and as a person she's very hanging loose."
Indeed, Akerman happily shares tales of rocking out, her next movie gig set in the real world of rock, which celebrity left her speechless and why it's not necessarily a bad thing to sleep with your bandmate.
What 80s-era item was it great to revisit, and what should be permanently left back there?
I think we can leave mullets back in the '80s. I did like the permed hair that I had in it. That was great, and I think that we should always have '80s music, forever and ever and ever. I'm a big fan.
Were any of the '80s fashion choices in the film to your liking?
I would kind of wear what she wore in the scene where she gets her face licked. I love the black, the tassels and the leather, obviously. I haven't let go of that. I love all things leather, and so I love that from her outfits as well. But I don't know if I would necessarily do the Mozart top; the button-down, 'Hot For Teacher' kind of look. That's not really my thing.
Did you keep a souvenir from "Rock of Ages"?
I did – Lita Ford came by set, which was awesome, and I have a leather jacket of hers. She lent some of her clothes to this movie, and then she said, 'If anyone wants to buy them, I'll sell them for, like, a hundred bucks a piece.' I was like, 'Yeah! I'll take Lita Ford's jacket for a hundred bucks!' It's hand-painted on the back. It's so cool. I'm going to keep that forever. I would buy that on eBay for a thousand dollars.
Was it hard to keep a straight face during your face-licking seduction scene with Tom Cruise?
Yes. We had a lot of rehearsals, obviously, to choreograph this whole thing – and that was not in the script, by the way: the ear-licking thing. That was in the choreography while we were trying to figure out what we were going to do. I'm such a big fan of physical comedy. I'm totally game – I love that kind of stuff. Tom was totally game. It was just kind of like if it made us laugh, like, 'Okay, if this is making us laugh, it's got to make the audience laugh, too. It's got to be fun.'
You play a journalist in the film. What's the weirdest interview experience you've ever had?
There were a few weird ones while we were doing 'Watchmen.' One guy came in – we were in Europe somewhere – and he came in dressed in a mask, in a superhero costume – his own one, like made up. It was like a dirty sock with holes in it and he'd painted something on it and he was like, 'I am…' I can't remember the name of what his superhero was. I was like, 'Okay.' He goes, 'Why are all superheroes only American?' I said, 'I don't know – are they?' He came in and was so anti-American, and then he took off his mask and went 'Ah, it's not working. Never mind, never mind,' and he got up and left. I was like 'Ooookay...' I didn't even know what was working or wasn't working, because nothing was working for me. It was the weirdest thing ever. I don't know what he was getting at, but obviously I wasn't giving him what he wanted.
Which celebrity had that turn-to-jelly Stacee Jaxx affect on you in real life?
Oh my goodness – one of the first that I met that did to me was Steven Spielberg. I still get speechless when I think about it. He's done so much in his life and he's so brilliant, and I got to work with him – or work for him, for his company – on 'Heartbreak Kid,' which is one of the first films that I did out here. I was sitting in my chair on set and he came and sat beside me. I was eating soup. I'll never forget because I was like, 'I don't know if I should continue eating my soup because I don't know if I'll spill it on myself or if it's rude to talk with soup in your mouth.' The stupidest thing was that I was so concentrated on this soup that after a while no words were coming out of my mouth. He was like, 'All right, nice chatting with you, Malin. I'll see you later.' I was like, 'God – I didn't say anything!' But I have walked by Mick Jagger at a party and I could smell his hair and that was awesome. That was really great.
And you'll be playing a rock icon soon.
The next one I'll be doing is a movie about CBGB, playing Debbie Harry. I haven't met her. I would love, too. I met her drummer – Clem [Burke] – and that was really amazing and he had a lot of stories about her. She's apparently a really cool chick, which is no surprise. The focus is really about CBGB and the beginnings of it, and the owner, Hilly Kristal, who created it.
How gritty does that film get? Because 'Rock of Ages' is more of a fun fantasy version of an era's club scene and music industry?
This one will be more gritty, for sure. This will be a little bit more reality as opposed to big dance numbers and things like that. More documenting the real moments and the real bands and how they became who they are and what happened at CBGB. So, I think it'll be a lot…also the budget is a lot smaller, so it'll be a shorter shooting period. I sing 'X Offender' – and not 'Heart of Glass.' I guess that came later, because this is in '73/'74. So, It's some of her first songs.
You've fronted a rock band yourself, right?
I have, yeah. I came out here to do the acting, and then after a year of auditions and not getting anything I met these Italian guys and they asked me to write lyrics for them. Then they said, 'Why don't you just front the band?' I said, 'Well, maybe because I can't sing. I've never sang before in my life.' But we did it and it was just sort of a fun thing, self-taught and recorded in a closet and all that good stuff. We did that for a year and a half and it was so much fun…We had a blast, and of course we were really trying to do it for real, but nothing ever came of it, and so I said, 'All right – I'm going to give acting one last shot. If it doesn't work, I'm going back to Toronto.'
At least one good thing came out of your rock and roll experience, right?
It certainly did. I got my husband from it. He was my drummer, and it's funny because a friend of mine gave me a book right when I became a part of their band, and the book was titled "Don't Sleep With Your Drummer." Guess who I married? The drummer. You challenge me and I'll do it. It's horrible.
With such firsthand knowledge, can you explain the appeal of the rocker?
It's so funny because you think you're attracted to this bad boy…Rockers are freedom of speech. They do whatever they want, and ultimately you don't really want that. You don't want someone who's out on a tour bus, sleeping around with different people and doing whatever and getting wasted. The funny thing is that my husband couldn't be sweeter. He looks like this bad boy. He's got tattoos and earrings and a Mohawk, but when you talk to him and when he's around you, he's such a gentleman. He's an Italian boy who grew up in the south of Italy with a family. His parents have been together for 40 years and he takes such good care of his mom. It's just beautiful, and so ultimately, I guess I don't really want that. I like the image. I love watching him be real and visceral on stage. I think anyone, when you watch them do what they do best, is attractive.

We'll take a good look at disk-oriented aspects of Gentoo Linux and Linux in general, including Linux filesystems, partitions and block devices. Then, once you're familiar with the ins and outs of disks and filesystems, you'll be guided through the process of setting up partitions and filesystems for your Gentoo Linux installation.
To begin, we'll introduce
The block devices above represent an abstract interface to the disk. User programs can use these block devices to interact with your disk without worrying about whether your drives are IDE, SCSI or something else. The program can simply address the storage on the disk as a bunch of contiguous, randomly-accessible 512-byte blocks.
Although it is theoretically possible to use a full disk to house your Linux
system, this is almost never done in practice. Instead, full disk block devices
are split up in smaller, more manageable block devices. On most systems,
these are called
The number of partitions is highly dependent on your environment. For instance,
if you have lots of users, you will most likely want to have your
As you can see, it very much depends on what you want to achieve. Separate partitions or volumes have the following advantages:
However, multiple partitions have one big disadvantage: if not configured properly, you might result in having a system with lots of free space on one partition and none on another. There is also a 15-partition limit for SCSI and SATA.
# fdisk /dev/sda
HPPA machines use the PC standard DOS partition tables. To create a new
DOS partition table, simply use the
# fdisk /dev/sda Command (m for help): o Building a new DOS disklabel.
PALO (the HPPA bootloader) needs a special partition to work. You have
to create a partition of at least 16MB at the beginning of your disk.
The partition type must be of type
# cat /etc/fstab /dev/sda2 /boot ext3 noauto,noatime 1 1 /dev/sda3 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/sda4 / ext3 noatime 0 0 # fdisk /dev/sda Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/sda: 4294 MB, 4294816768 bytes 133 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1017 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8246 * 512 = 4221952 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 8 32953 f0 Linux/PA-RISC boot /dev/sda2 9 20 49476 83 Linux /dev/sda3 21 70 206150 82 Linux swap /dev/sda4 71 1017 3904481 83 Linux
Now that your partitions are created, you can now continue with
Now that your partitions are created, it is time to place a filesystem on them.
If you don't care about what filesystem to choose and are happy with what we use
as default in this handbook, continue with
Several filesystems are available. Ext2, ext3, XFS and reiserfs are found stable on the HPPA architecture. The others are very experimental.
ext2 is the tried and true Linux filesystem but doesn't have metadata journaling, which means that routine ext2 filesystem checks at startup time can be quite time-consuming. There is now quite a selection of newer-generation journaled filesystems that can be checked for consistency very quickly and are thus generally preferred over their non-journaled counterparts. Journaled filesystems prevent long delays when you boot your system and your filesystem happens to be in an inconsistent state.
ext3 is the journaled version of the ext2 filesystem, providing metadata journaling for fast recovery in addition to other enhanced journaling modes like full data and ordered data journaling. It uses an HTree index that enables high performance in almost all situations. In short, ext3 is a very good and reliable filesystem.
ReiserFS is a B+tree-based filesystem that has very good overall performance and greatly outperforms both ext2 and ext3 when dealing with small files (files less than 4k), often by a factor of 10x-15x. ReiserFS also scales extremely well and has metadata journaling. ReiserFS is solid and usable as both general-purpose filesystem and for extreme cases such as the creation of large filesystems, very large files and directories containing tens of thousands of small files.
XFS is a filesystem with metadata journaling which comes with a robust feature-set and is optimized for scalability. We only recommend using this filesystem on Linux systems with high-end SCSI and/or fibre channel storage and an uninterruptible power supply. Because XFS aggressively caches in-transit data in RAM, improperly designed programs (those that don't take proper precautions when writing files to disk and there are quite a few of them) can lose a good deal of data if the system goes down unexpectedly.
JFS is IBM's high-performance journaling filesystem. It has recently become production-ready and there hasn't been a sufficient track record to comment positively nor negatively on its general stability at this point.
To create a filesystem on a partition or volume, there are tools available for each possible filesystem:
|Creation Command
For instance, to have the boot partition (
# mke2fs /dev/sda2 # mke2fs -j /dev/sda4
Now create the filesystems on your newly created partitions (or logical volumes).
# mkswap /dev/sda3
To activate the swap partition, use
# swapon /dev/sda3
Create and activate the swap now.
Now that your partitions are initialized and are housing a filesystem, it is
time to mount those partitions. Use the
# mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/gentoo # mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot # mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/gentoo/boot
We will also have to mount the proc filesystem (a virtual interface with the
kernel) on

Skip to comments.Report: Tsarnaevs motivated by opposition to Iraq and Afghan wars, Al-Queda online Mag .....
Posted on 04/23/2013 1:09:15 PM PDT by Ernest_at_the_Beach
To borrow a line from Dennis Green, they are who we thought they were.
From his hospital bed, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has acknowledged his role in planting the explosives near the marathon finish line on April 15, the officials said. The first successful large-scale bombing in the post-Sept. 11, 2001, era, the Boston attack killed three people and wounded more than 250 others.
The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe an ongoing investigation, said Dzhokhar and his older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who was killed by police as the two attempted to avoid capture, do not appear to have been directed by a foreign terrorist organization.
Rather, the officials said, the evidence so far suggests they were self-radicalized through Internet sites and U.S. actions in the Muslim world. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has specifically cited the U.S. war in Iraq, which ended in December 2011 with the removal of the last American forces, and the war in Afghanistan, where President Obama plans to end combat operations by the end of 2014.
Obama has made repairing U.S. relations with the Islamic world a foreign policy priority, even as he has expanded drone operations in Pakistan and other countries, which has inflamed Muslim public opinion.
Bad news for liberal narratives in one sense, but good in another: Theyve been grasping for ways to say its not them, its us and now theyve got an easy one, Obamas stewardship of Afghanistan notwithstanding. Beats the current leading theory about Tamerlan Tsarnaev possibly having taken too many punches to the face, no?
As for how they learned to make the bombs, watch Pete Williams below. Truth, or a lie designed to throw the feds off the scent of whoever might have trained them? Well, go back to this post from last Tuesday, two days before the bombers were identified. Intelwire had already raised an eyebrow at the fact that pressure-cooker bombs were used, since there had been articles in Inspire on how to build that sort of device. The Jawa Report also noted that Naser Jason Abdo, the would-be Fort Hood bomber, got caught with pressure cookers and other bomb materials in his hotel room when he was pinched in 2011. Also found in the room: A copy of Inspire. I remember people giggling when the magazine debuted because the bomb-making instructions were entitled, How to Make a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom, but it worked. The man responsible for it, Samir Khan, is long since dead in a U.S. airstrike but not as the primary target. He was killed by the same missile that took out his pal, Anwar al-Awlaki, whom some think came up with the idea for Inspire. Bottom line: Yeah, its quite possible that Tsarnaevs telling the truth about how they learned bombmaking. Abdo apparently took the same path. He just never made it as far as they did.
Exit question, in the spirit of lefty fingerpointing at tea partiers: Does this mean the anti-war movements guilty by association?

Update: Possibly significant:
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the elder brother suspected in the Boston Marathon bombings, bought two large pyrotechnic devices in February from a New Hampshire branch of a national fireworks chain, according to executives at the chains parent company.
William Weimer, a vice president of Phantom Fireworks, said the elder Mr. Tsarnaev on Feb. 6 purchased two Lock and Load reloadable mortar kits at the companys Seabrook, N.H. store, just over the border from Massachusetts. Each kit contains a tube and 24 shells, he said. Mr. Tsarnaev paid cash for the kits, which cost $199.99 apiece.
Cops are wondering if they used the powder from the fireworks to power the bombs, but the manufacturer thinks there wasnt enough of it in two kits to generate explosions that big. Even so, go read this Boston Globe report from late March about a mysterious series of explosions in Hanover, Massachusetts involving homemade devices and flash powder. Actual quote from a local cop: It appears there is someone experimenting with making these devices. The explosions happened on March 12 and 15; on March 20, a friend of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev tweeted to him that hed heard hed been poppen fireworks. Hmmmm.
The Marxist/socialist left encourages this crap with their communist inspired anti-America, so-called "anti-war" propaganda!!
I think daddya and mommy are just like the sons. Muslim terrorists...just on the management end.
Mom said the older one did a lot of skyping. Wonder if momma and pappa STILL have the computer.
"The Marxist/socialist left encourages this crap with their communist inspired anti-America, so-called anti-war propaganda!!"
Actually, they're much more dangerous to the country when the join the Democratic party and read "Rules for Radicals." I suspect Bill Ayers has done much more damage as an "educator" than he did with his bombs. It's just quieter damage, like rust-through on the frame rails of you car.
"who was killed by police"
I thought he was killed by his brother driving over him and dragging his body down the street
Jahar: Tamerlan made me do it.
Dennis Green: The United States made Tamerlan do it.
David Horowitz (Author)
The American Spectator article simply refers to them as Utipionists....FR Thread:
Jihad Blows Up the Liberal Utopia
I think David's views are closer to the current truth.
Well, the tweets blow Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's story to hell. He knew about the plans long before one week.
There was twitter reports (and screen shots) taking responsibility of the Globe report.
This is the original story with more info.
If this is true, then why was The saudi there? coincidence?
Ah Ha! Bush's fault again!
Anther push leftist agenda headline eh.
You know what this PC crap reminds me of?
To the liberals the dogma that "Being muslim doesn't make you a terrorist" is just as ingrained as the one that says "Being gay doesn't make you a pedophile".
Never mind that this flies in the face of common sense, experience and hundreds if not thousands of news stories.
It's what they believe. Go figure.
Of course I don't mean to imply that all muslims are terrorists and all gays are pedophiles!
What I am saying of course is that there is a linkage that is obvious to most if not all of us here but that the liberals will go to their graves denying.
what Iraq war?
the one obama ended?

Microsoft forthcoming patch Tuesday will bring no relief from an unpatched Excel flaw that's the target of active malware attacks.
The March edition of Black Tuesday promises three updates, one of which Redmond classifies as critical because it poses a code execution risk. The other two flaws involve spoofing risks and are assigned to the "important" category.
As usual, Microsoft's pre-release is thin on specifics - understandably it doesn't want to give hackers too many clues - but we do know all four cover Windows. All supported version of Windows, including Vista, will need patching.
An unpatched vulnerability in Excel has been the target of hacking attacks since late last month. A patch to defend against the underlying vulnerability would fall into the Office category, so we know it won't arrive next Tuesday and is therefore highly unlikely to appear until April. ®

Cannes Thursday is always amfAR. Every year, Harvey Weinstein auctions off a kiss or something. No, not him, don't worry. Either Ryan Gosling or Robert Pattinson, or whichever "hunk" is available at the festival that year.
Not sure if there's a kiss to bid for this year but according to Page Six, apparently there is a trip to space on Virgin Galactic...with Leonardo DiCaprio. The cost is normally $200,000 but that number might be higher, depending on how much the Leo date is worth to the rich Euro who ends up paying.
Would you if you had that kind of money? I wouldn't. Not because of Leo but because this is freaking me out. You go 360,000 ft into the sky. And it only takes two and a half hours. Straight up? It takes about two and a half hours to fly from Vancouver to Los Angeles. So... like that, but straight UP? What speed? I'm sweating already. Jesus Christ, is it safe? Look, I like roller coasters too, but this... I am too chicken sh-t.
Anyway, so far there are no photos of Leo from the event, if he even went, since he's so busy not going to Sydney for the Gatsby premiere, but here's Jessica Chastain in a red dress which I have no real feelings about but I love her hair here, a lot. Maybe because it reminds me of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman.

DETROIT – It's sad, but true.
Some Lions' fans won't shed a tear over the death of longtime owner William Clay Ford Sr.
Ford - the Lions' sole owner since 1964 - died at 88 on Sunday.
For years, fans blamed Ford for his team's inability to be a consistent winner. After all, he was the lone constant in a franchise that has won only one playoff game since 1957. His team also never played in a Super Bowl.
For decades, fans called sports-talk radio shows and said Ford didn't care about winning. Worse, some said the Lions would never win a thing until Ford either sold the team or died.
It truly became a tired radio bit after every terrible Lions' loss. So much so, some radio host stopped taking those irrational calls.
Not only were some fans mean to Ford, but wrong about him, too.
Ford wanted to win. No matter who he hired - both good or bad personnel - it just never happened for him. It was simply a mission unfulfilled.
Most who really knew Ford balked at the notion that all he cared about was filling his stadium on Sundays and making money.
"Yes, he wanted to win," said former Lions' safety Ron Rice on Sunday. "He wanted to win just as much as we wanted to win.
"People confused his style of ownership as lock of interest. He hired managers that were responsible for implementing a plan, plans that didn't pan out but nonetheless, the intent was there."
And Ford hired any and everybody to try to bring Motown a championship in football. Granted, many where the wrong choice. Still, there were some big names that fans embraced when Ford hired them, including Bobby Ross, Matt Millen, Steve Mariucci.
Those three were accomplished and came with credentials.
But there was also the head-scratchers the frustrated fans, especially the too-soft coach Wayne Fontes and over-his-head coach Rod Marinelli, who went 0-16 in 2008.
If Ford was to be blamed for anything, it was that he was loyal to a fault, giving people who weren't getting the job done new contracts despite failing to win.
You saw that early with Fontes, who won Ford's only postseason game in 1991 against the Dallas Cowboys.
That Lions' team had a ton of talent and probably would have gone to the Super Bowl had they had a better coach.
But Ford loved Fontes and kept him around years too long. That was a mistake.
So was letting Millen, who became the teams GM without previous experience, sticking around eight years. Millen finished with the worst eight-year record in modern NFL history (31-84, a .270 winning percentage).
It was clear after the first few seasons that Millen was in over his head. And with the fan base calling for Millen to be axed after his five-year contract, Ford gave him a five-year extension.
Fans were mad. And rightly so.
Still, it wasn't like Ford didn't spend money on players or didn't try to hired top-notched, front-office people because he did.
They just couldn't get the job done for the quiet, out-of-public-view owner. Hence, it was easy to bash Ford.
It was unfortunate. But if the owner is going to get praise for winning, he's going to get blame for losing.
That's a big difference, however, to fans believing Ford didn't care. That wasn't true. You don't own a professional sports team and not want to win. It's the reason you play the games.
"For five decades, Mr. Ford's passion for the Lions, Detroit, and the NFL was the foundation of one of the NFL's historic franchises," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said.
In Ford's 50-year tenure as owner, the Lions had just 14 winnings seasons and had only 10 playoff appearances.
For sure, paltry numbers by any standards, especially in a league that brags about its parity.
"He was never visible to the public like Dan Snyder, Jerry Jones or even Robert Kraft, it wasn't his style," Rice said. "He was an asset to the league, Detroit and made the childhood dreams of hundreds of players come true."
In the end, most fans will view Ford as that owner who couldn't win. But let's make one thing clear, he wanted to win.

After 'clicking the sad emogee' on Holly Butcher's facebook post in January of 2018, I'm reminded of the impact of her final note daily, as it continues to be shared around the world causing the post to continue to pop back up on my feed.
If this is the first time you're hearing about Holly, here is her backstory.
At 26, she was diagnosed with cancer. She had some time to really think about her life and what it meant to her personally. What was important and what as she put it in just 'Bullshit'. Being from Australia, Holly uses a word or two that will look like a misspelling at first. She implores "Don't Whinge". I thought she meant , don't whine until I looked it up and found that whinge. (rhymes with hinge, like on a door), means vitually the same thing but it's a separate - "Don't feel sorry for yourself and complain' is my interpretation.
Holly really had a handle on the value of "TIME" which is what she had so very little of left when she wrote this. She obviously knew her's was short. Within 24 hours of writing this, her family let us know that she passed. At 27 years young, the world lost a beautiful and obviously brilliant woman. Her body has run out of energy but with our help, her love and imagination can continue to live forever. The internet just will not let THAT die!
I read this often to remind myself of what is REALLY important. You may find that you want to as well.
Thank you Holly. You were way beyond your years.
Michael J
Holly's final words dated 1/3/2018
To even better illustrate Holly's post, her family added pictures to go along with her words. R.I.P. Holly Butcher and thank you for sharing the real meaning, common to all of humankind. May your light shine on forever!

Michelle Obama has found a new way to get kids to eat their vegetables: hip-hop.
The First Lady has recorded a hip-hop album featuring Jordin Sparks, Run DMC, Ashanti and Doug E. Fresh that coincides with her anti-obesity program "Let's Move!" according to Politico.
The 19-track record called Songs for a Healthier America, out in September, will feature songs like "U R What You Eat" and "Veggie Luv" about eating your leafy greens. Unfortunately the citizens of America will not hear Mrs. Obama drop some bars — She has decided not to appear on the album.
But everyone's favorite doctor, Dr. Oz, does make a cameo. Oz raps about caloric intake alongside Doug E. Fresh on the album's first single, "Everybody," which also features the First Lady stumping for her 1-year program, while Mr. Sparks sings about celebrating life. Watch below.

Posts Tagged 'Google story'
Just completd reading of The Google story by David A.Vise
here some notes i have taken from that book about page rank
"I'm Sergey Brin and that's Larry over there. I'm gonna jump right into it here," Brin began in his typically informal style.
"What we've tried to do with our search engine is not give outrageous answers based on the count of words in the text,"
"Let me tell you what the challenges are of a search engine," Brin said. "You have to index the entire Web. Quite a bit of data. We'll show you how to manage it. We'll tell you what it is we do to generate better search results, what we expect to get into three years down the road, and the social issues also."
The Google search engine took more factors into account than any other search engine on the market. It didn't just count words or count links and deliver results. It combined information about links and deliver results. It combined Information about links and words with other variables, in new and interesting ways that produced better search results. For example, Brin said, it mattered whether words or phrases on Web pages were close together or far apart, what their font size was, whether they were capitalized or in lowercase type.
"Every time you create a link," Page told the hushed audience, "you've created a citation. But if you just try to count citations on the Web, which is what a lot of search engines do, you run into problems. The Web isn't like scientific Literature, because anybody can produce Web pages.
"One way to think of PageRank," he explained, "is it's a usage model. You have a random [Web] surfer. It's kind of like a monkey, just somebody who sits around and clicks links all day and doesn't have any intelligence. You could argue that this kind of approximates people's behavior on the Web." Page paused, the audience chuckled, and he went on.
"PageRank is basically saying, if somebody points to you, you get some fraction of the importance that they have. Let's say somebody really important points to you. That's worth more than someone who has a random Web page. For example, If Yahoo points to you from their homepage, that's a big deal. If you just have one link on the Yahoo homepage, that's pretty good. Either you had to pay someone a lot of money, or your page is pretty good. If have a link on my homepage, nobody would pretty much care." Page then explained how he derived his recipe for producing ranked search results. "We've assigned numbers to those pages to correspond roughly. "We've assigned numbers to those pages to correspond roughly to their importance. The page's ranking is the sum of all things pointing to it."
"We crawl the web, which means we go out and download the entire Web. We download roughly 100 pages per second,"
"Whenever you query with more than one word, we're looking at the distance between words [on a Web page],"
that all

How can I create my own php.ini config file?
17 comments. Current rating: (17 votes). Leave comments and/ or rate it.
Question:My system has no php.ini configuration file and thus works with the default settings. How can I create a php.ini file (and where do I need to place it)?
Answer:The location for your config file was set when php was compiled (using directive --with-config-file-path=/directory. The default location on Unix machines is /usr/local/lib/php.ini and on Windows computers it is in the Windows directory e.g. c:\windows\php.ini.
To create a file in that location, take the file php.ini-dist and copy it to the above mentioned location, then rename it to php.ini. Under Windows you could also keep configuration settings in the registry but I recommend using the text file since it makes migrations easier.
Afterwards you can confirm that the php.ini file works by calling phpinfo():

A unnamed Russian billionaire dropped $135,060 on his bar bill at Chicago's Board Room nightclub early Wednesday morning.
But the item that really stands out on the bill is the bottle of champagne the generous spender -- who did not want to be indentified -- spent on actors Heather Graham and Zac Efron, who were sitting in the same section.
He dropped $100,000 on a 15 litre bottle of Armand de Brignac Nebuchadnezzar Champagne, also known as "Ace of Spades."
The champagne received some notoriety after appearing in a Jay-Z video, and Dallas Maverick's owner Mark Cuban famously bought a $90,000 bottle of the same stuff in a Miami nightclub to celebrate their NBA championship.
The two actors are in the city filming the movie "Heartland" and spent about two hours in the club -- hardly enough time to drink the entire bottle, which contains enough bubbly to fill about 20 regular sized bottles.
According to the receipt, the rest of the bill included two magnum bottles of Grey Goose, two magnum bottles of Dom Perignon, four bottles of Crisal and three magnum bottles of Laurent Perrier Rosé.
And the lucky server walked away with a gratuity of $22,510.
Who says nothing good ever happens after midnight?

Reverse mortgages sound like a great idea, especially when you've built up significant equity in your home and you're looking for an additional income stream.
But they can be risky business, especially when unscrupulous characters attempt to dupe homeowners into bad reverse mortgage schemes that can ultimately hurt them.
What is a reverse mortgage actually?
A reverse mortgage, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, is when you borrow against the equity you've built up in your home — hence why it's called a "reverse" mortgage. The lender is giving you money instead of the other way around. The main downside is that as you continue to borrow against the equity in your home, you are slowly depleting that equity over time, which makes it difficult to sell the home later on.
Also, there are upfront costs to take into account as well. Lenders charge fees for reverse mortgages and closing costs, and some lenders even require borrowers to go through mortgage counseling. You may also have to pay for additional mortgage insurance. The average reverse mortgage lasts for seven years but can cost the borrower more than $31,000 in interest and fees over that time period, the CFPB found.
Reverse mortgage scams to watch out for
Reverse mortgage scams typically target older homeowners who have lived in their homes for a long time, might be eager for extra sources of income, and have built up significant equity in their home. This makes them an especially vulnerable target.
"Seniors are frequently targeted through local churches and investment seminars, as well as television, radio, billboard, and mailer advertisements," the FBI says.
Investment schemes. Beware of realtors or any other professional who encourages you to take out a reverse mortgage in order to finance a real estate investment. They may market the opportunity as a way to flip a house for a profit. But they may take your money and you'll never see them again.
Home improvement schemes. In a similar scheme, a contractor may talk a borrower into financing home improvements by — you guessed it — taking out a reverse mortgage. And of course, once the check is cashed, they may run off and leave the borrower hanging.
Friendly faces fraud. This isn't the official name for this type of reverse mortgage scam, but it seems to fit. Relatives or close family friends may try to pressure homeowners into taking out a reverse mortgage but they may actually want to take the money for themselves. And the homeowner is left with depleted equity and no hopes of ever seeing the money again.
Tips to avoid reverse mortgage scams
- Beware of unsolicited reverse mortgage offers.
- Work with an independent reverse mortgage counselor to weigh the pros and cons.
- Don't sign documents for a reverse mortgage unless you fully understand them or have them reviewed by an attorney.
- Watch out for misleading claims that you can buy a home with no down payment with a reverse mortgage.
As always, you can file fraud complaints with the FTC or Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

The uprisings of the "Arab Spring" have been by turns inspiring, frustrating and tragic for activists around the globe. And they are still horribly incomplete—not just because the emerging revolutions have been in many cases squelched by authoritarian regimes, but because the movements for freedom and justice have left out whole swaths of the affected populations. While citizens push for their rights and have broken into the foreground of the Western media, the throngs of migrants who fuel the regional economy continue to face their own struggles against abuse and impunity, mostly ignored inside and outside their adopted communities.
Earlier this month, Saudi Arabia executed eight Bangaldeshi migrant workers, convicted of killing of an Egyptian man. After the public beheadings, advocates globally denounced the trial (reportedly based on a violent workplace dispute in 2007) as a sham. Executions are up sharply in Saudi Arabia this year, reports Amnesty International, and 20 of the roughly 58 have involved immigrants.
An Indonesian maid met a similar fate in June, as did a Sudanese man last month (on allegations of witchcraft). The reports suggest that state violence against migrants shares the cruel mechanics of much more public government crackdowns on street demonstrations.
Calling for a moratorium on executions in Saudi Arabia, Amnesty notes that aside from the general barbarity of the practice, migrant defendants have no access to legal counsel or language translation, and "In many cases they are not informed of the progress of legal proceedings against them."
So is the push for more democratic government in the Arab world going to change the plight of migrants, who in many ways have even fewer rights than citizens?
The criminal punishment of migrants is just one aspect of the degradation of foreign workers. Indonesian authorities just announced plans to repatriate several thousand migrant and undocumented workers deemed to be troublemakers by the Saudi government—that is, men and women "who ran away from their employers after being unpaid or suffering abuse," according to the Jakarta Post.
Human Rights Watch researcher Christoph Wilcke describes the ugly convergence of internal discrimination and international neglect in Jordan:
These women provide valuable domestic services that are in high demand. Yet they remain excluded from labor laws that provide basic protections—as basic as a weekly day of rest. And they are subject to an immigration sponsorship system that makes it difficult to escape abusive employers—escapes that the authorities sometimes treat as a crime.
Take the case of Marjorie L., a Filipina woman, whose employer made her work long hours for no pay and locked her inside the house before "loaning" Marjorie against her will to a friend across town for several months. She was not paid there either. She eventually escaped, but then faced detention by the authorities and was unable to return home.
While this system of coercive labor and outright slavery may have cultural underpinnings, it is no doubt reinforced by the perverse incentives of global capitalism and the asymmetries between political progress and economic "development." Hence migrant issues seem even more acute in relatively "stable" countries like Jordan, where activism has been subdued amid promises of economic growth for some.
Never Miss a Beat.

In tiny Bahrain, where Washington's military presence helps buttress a brutal regime, hundreds of thousands of mostly Asian and African migrants face two-fold oppression: the Bahrain Center for Human Right pointed out last December that horrific abuses of female domestic migrant workers have long gone unnoticed by civil society. The Arab Spring so far has done little to illuminate their struggles.
As with Jordan, although Bahrain has enacted some labor reforms, advocates say the protections have effectively left out household workers, as their employers routinely subject them to:
long (and often undefined) working hours, low salaries, the withholding of salaries and poor living conditions such as being forced to sleep outside or in cramped quarters and denied food. They suffer from psychological, physical and sexual abuse. In addition they are subjected to restrictions on movement, including the withholding of passports by their employers.
The situation in Libya, during and after the vicious NATO-backed civil war, takes the migration crisis to its logical extreme: the anti-Gaddafi rebel forces face numerous allegations of unjustly detaining and brutalizing dark-skinned African migrant workers and black Libyans, who are often suspected of being "mercenaries." Meanwhile, as masses of Africans have fled in terror, the interim leaders have shown scant concern about the widespread reports of atrocities committed by rebel fighters against migrants and others caught in the conflict.
On the cusp of a one-year anniversary, the Arab Spring uprisings, despite their enormous promise, are at risk of ebbing toward a downward spiral—ongoing violence and oppression in Libya's "transition," the failure to dismantle Egypt's military impunity, the fatigue of relentless slaughter of protesters in Syria. It's even less likely that the plight of migrants will be addressed as one of the many human rights dilemmas in the region.
Rima Kalush, editor of migrant-rights.org, part of a broader initiative known as MideastYouth.com, told In These Times that even where uprisings have dramatically strengthened pro-democracy people's movements, class and ethnic barriers surrounding migrants have remained intact:
At this point, it doesn't seem to be a major concern of the newly empowered citizens. However, we don't know if that's simply because they're currently focused on the broader picture of the government entity itself (rather than particular practices), or if it really is a matter of apathy to migrants' plight.
In countries that have seen less upheaval than Tunisia and Egypt, Kalush added, "it seems other Arab nations are making some popular concessions to avoid the wave of democratization surrounding them, but there's no incentive for them to address migrant rights when it's not an evident concern of their citizens."
And so it goes around the world. The people pushed to new lands in search of work or refuge are universally deemed someone else's problem. And even a revolution may not be enough to upend the global cycle of oppression.

Mean Green Family of Products (Photo: Business Wire)
Mean Green is a leading heavy-duty cleaner, with a broad array of
products for mold, mildew, bacteria, grease and other uses. Roto-Rooter
is the number one name in plumbing services, lending tremendous brand
strength behind its line of drain care products that include hair clog
remover, gel clog remover, build up remover and septic tank treatment.
These products have broad national distribution and can be found in big
box retailers, such as Home Depot, Lowe's, Wal-Mart and Menards, as well
as grocers and other retailers. They will be integrated into
Rust-Oleum's current portfolio of cleaning and drain care products.
"Rust-Oleum has made a concentrated effort to build and grow its
platform of cleaners, which initially began with the Jomax brand and has
since expanded to include the well-recognized brands of Krud-Kutter,
Whink and Moldex. Mean Green and Roto Rooter products are excellent
strategic fits that add more dimension to the growing portfolio," stated
Frank C. Sullivan, RPM chairman and CEO. "Utilizing Rust-Oleum's sales
and distribution network will significantly increase the reach of these
leading products. At the same time, we expect to leverage their
connections to achieve greater penetration of Rust-Oleum's brands in
grocery and other retail channels."

creat() is to create a new file or directories
lets say i have thisKernel.creat( name , Kernel.S_IFDIR ) ;
I just want to know is there any keyword to delete the file or directory since creat() is to function to create. I want to implement a function to delete. By the way, I'm modifying an operating system called MOSS. If possible, hope to get guidance more to the operating system side. I'm using Eclipse IDE.

What a lovely row of pretties! I can't believe I haven't tried these yet!ReplyDelete
140 is so gorgeous! :) The formula sounds great :)ReplyDelete
I was so excited to see this post. I think the colors you chose would be too light for me, but I also want to try a darker shade and am considering 164 Charmade and 125 Vega.ReplyDelete
Which of the colors you own is your favorite?
*drools* gorgeous automatiques! cant wait to see your dark color picks!ReplyDelete
BEAUTIFUL! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE every shade you have! What a stash! xxReplyDelete
I love the look of Mitsouku, never tried Guerlain lipstick but I think it's time to.ReplyDelete
Hi PerilouslyPale,ReplyDelete
Well worth a try, I am sure you will find a lot of shades in the line up you like :)
Hi Vintage Makeup,
#140 is lovely, pairs really well with a smokey eye as well.
Hi Zuzu's Petals,
I'll have to have a look at the two shades you are thinking about.
I'm hard pushed to say which is my favourite, perhaps #100, as I always tend to go for that sort of colour ;)
Hi Georgina,
LOL, you know I did like seeing them all lined up like that :)
Hi Jeanie,
Now the question is, are you tempted to get one? :) xx
Hi PinkSparkle84,
I know Guerlain seem to be rated for other things but I do think their lipsticks are one of the strongest items of the brand.
wow 5 of them! maybe I need to try these :PReplyDelete
Hi luv2smilexo,ReplyDelete
LOL, can you tell I like them ;) well worth a try when you are next at a counter x
Ooh thank you for sharing photos of your gorgeous Rouge Automatiques! I have only Mitsouko, but hope to try some more in the future. :)ReplyDelete
Hi Makeup Magpie,ReplyDelete
They are a really nice formula aren't they, I was surprised how much I like Mitsouko as I don't tend to go for peach based shades :)

Warner Bros. reports that Focus earned an estimated $6.47 million for its opening day, easily taking first place on Friday. The Will Smith-Margot Robbie con artist flick debuted just under Limitless' $6.6 million first day back in 2011. Unfortunately, early word of mouth appears very mixed as the film received a "B" CinemaScore and sits at a 66 percent user rating on Rotten Tomatoes this morning (where critics disapprove even more at 56 percent). Still, the film's adult-skewing appeal could balance out some of the early complaints about the film throughout the weekend. BoxOffice is projecting an opening frame of $18.5 million.
Relativity's The Lazarus Effect debuted to $3.8 million on Friday as it claimed second place for the day, nearly 24 percent lower than last year's Oculus. The horror pic's early buzz isn't heading in the right direction, though: only 33 percent of Rotten Tomatoes users approve of the film so far, while critics have given it an even lower 14 percent. Given the natural tendency for horror pics to drop off quickly, expect the same here. BoxOffice projects a $9.2 million opening weekend.
Fifty Shades of Grey slid into third place yesterday with $3.5 million, down another 56.5 percent from last Friday. The erotic drama has taken in $140.3 million domestically through 15 days of release, putting it 8 percent ahead of the original Twilight. BoxOffice projects a $9.9 million third weekend.
Fox's Kingsman: The Secret Service continues to display strong holding power as it eased 41 percent from last Friday to $3.12 million in fourth place. The graphic novel adaptation has earned an impressive $77.1 million domestically to date, putting it 1 percent ahead of Daredevil and 31 percent ahead of Jumper through their same release points. Kingsman will also surpass the latter film's final domestic gross of $80.2 million over the weekend. Look for a weekend total around $10.8 million.
Filling out the top five yesterday was The DUFF, down just 50 percent from opening day last week to $2.14 million. The sleeper hit's 8-day total stands at just over $15 million, putting it 15 percent ahead of the pace of That Awkward Moment. BoxOffice projects a $6.5 million weekend.
Three well-received holdovers fought for space just outside the top five yesterday. The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water dropped 47.5 percent to $2.11 million, giving it a strong $131.2 total thus far and setting it on course for an $8.9 million frame.
McFarland, USA was off just 45 percent from opening day last week to $1.99 million, bringing its 8-day total to $16.2 million (in line with Draft Day's $15.8 million sum through the same point) as the latest Kevin Costner sports drama eyes a $6.8 million sophomore frame.
Meanwhile, American Sniper added another $1.9 million (off just 30 percent from last Friday), giving it $325.3 million in all domestically. The blockbuster flick should land around $7 million this weekend, and is currently on pace to surpass The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 by next weekend to officially become 2014's highest grossing release.
Check BoxOffice on Sunday for official weekend estimates from the studios.

In order to prepare members of the local workforce for job opportunities in the Marcellus and Utica shale industry, the Penn State Beaver Office of Continuing Education has partnered with the Shale Training and Education Center (ShaleTEC) at Pennsylvania College of Technology (Penn College) in Williamsport, Pa.
"A compatible workforce with appropriate skills and training to meet the demands of the energy sector will be critical to the region's success," said Marian Vendemia, Beaver's director of continuing education. "Beaver has become an affiliate of the ShaleTEC which means we will offer expanded curriculum and instructional capability needed to train and educate existing employees of gas companies as well as those who want to enter the natural gas industry."
Vendemia noted that anyone enrolled in shale training programs at Beaver will have access to a wide range of resources offered by ShaleTEC, which addresses a multitude of training and education needs in the natural gas industry.
"We feel these courses will complement the other successful industry programs offered at Beaver," said Tracy Brundage, assistant vice president, workforce development and continuing education, Penn College. "Our ShaleTEC has trained nearly 4,400 students over the past fifteen months, and our ShaleTEC Affiliate Program is expanding throughout the region to help meet the demand."
ShaleTEC, a collaboration between Penn College and Penn State Extension, provides a wide variety of resources to the community and the oil and gas industry.
Brundage said the demand for trained workers is rising due to the ongoing development of Pennsylvania's natural gas resources. According to ShaleTEC studies, each well requires a workforce of approximately 420 individuals working across 150 different occupations.
Some of the initial programs available through ShaleTEC at Beaver include SafeLand USA, Hazard Recognition, Hydrogen Sulfide Awareness, and Confined Space.
"As the demand for natural gas training programs continues to grow across the Appalachian Basin, Penn College is excited about our opportunity to expand with that demand," Brundage said.
Penn State Beaver seeks to provide job-seekers with an opportunity to pursue the education and training needed to qualify for employment in the energy sector.
For more information, contact Vendemia at 724-773-3700 or email@example.com. For more information about ShaleTEC courses that will be offered at Beaver, visit
