Your First Application
Having learned about the conventions and responsibilities in Laravel, and how to create a new project with Composer, you are now ready to build your first application!
In this article by Raphaël Saunier, author of Getting Started with Laravel 4, you will use the concepts presented previously in a practical way and learn how to do the following:
- Sketch out the URLs and entities of your application
- Troubleshoot common issues when getting started
- Define the routes and their actions as well as the models and their relationships
- Prepare your database and learn how to interact with it using Eloquent
- Use the Blade template language to create hierarchical layouts
The first step in creating a web application is to identify and define its requirements. Then, once the main features have been formulated, we derive the main entities as well as the URL structure of the application. Having a well-defined set of requirements and URLs is also essential for other tasks such as testing; this will be covered later in the book.
A lot of new concepts are presented in this article. If you have trouble understanding something or if you are not quite sure where to place a particular snippet of code, you can download the annotated source code of the application on http://packtpub.com/support, which will help you to follow along.Read Your First Application in full

Using Redis in a hostile environment (Advanced)
In this article by Matt Palmer, author of Instant Redis Persistence, we'll step through a number of different scenarios, and how you can go about protecting against each one.
While securing your data isn't strictly a persistence topic, it is an important one to consider when planning your data storage strategy. If your stored data can be accessed improperly, you're in a whole world of pain.
A common complaint about Redis is that it has no means of controlling who has access to the Redis server—if you can connect to the Redis server, you've got the ability to fully access and manipulate the data stored in that server.Read Using Redis in a hostile environment (Advanced) in full

Now we're venturing into the realm of philosophy. If a Star Trek transporter breaks you apart and reassembles you using atoms in all the same atoms, but they're not the same atoms, are you the same person? If, over time, you replace every part of a ship, is it still the same ship?
Wasn't there a Star Trek character (Dr. Pulaski, maybe?) who hated using transporters for that very reason? Like every use of the transporter represented a murder followed by the recreation of the murder victim in a new location? I distinctly remember that Pulaski did not like to use transporters -- it was a plot point in a Season 2 episode. Specifically, the one where the Enterprise discovered the secret of immortality through abuse of the transporters and then promptly forgot about it because the writers didn't pick up on the implications of their own deus ex machina!

Phil Hersh is tweeting play by play from the wedding reception: http://twitter.com/olyphil
Copied here for posterity:
Michelle Kwan had a tear on her cheek as she came down the aisle before ceremony
When they reached the altar, the pastor said, "Michelle, you look amazing. Clay, you look okay."
Michelle and Clay got a head start on "you may kiss the bride.". They misinterpreted a cue and did it first time before the ring ceremony
Later, pastor Kurt Vickman said, "you may kiss the bride a second time.". So he did!
Kwan's brother in law, Peter Oppegard, missed wedding to be with skaters he coaches in Omaha. His daughers, Sophia and Olivia, flower girls
Michelle's brother, Ron, toast-roasting the newlyweds, said, "Clay, the rest of your life you will be known as Michelle Kwan's husband,"
Because I have never watched a second of American Idol, I did not recognize Paula Abdul at Michelle Kwan's wedding.
Clay Pell's sister said she was always amazed at his comfort zone with being a nerd. #Kwanwedding
Michelle Kwan cut the cake with the ceremonial sword her new husband wore with his Coast Guard dress blues (he was a lieutanant)
First dance starts with "it's only just begun," goes into "Stand by me.". Pastor had called Clay's terpsichore a combo of dirty and ballroom
Dance with dad is to the Beatles "michelle my belle." Natch

Wonderful tweets from Phil about what's going on at the reception. Almost like a play by play.
PML that MK's brother toasted that Clay would be known as Michelle Kwan's husband
Those who never succeed themselves are always the first to tell you how.

Is Frank in attendence?
^^ Apparently not, or it would have been mentioned by now. I'm sure Frank sent his best.
Phil tweeted that he didn't recognize Paula Abdul at MK's wedding. I wonder when MK and Abdul hooked up ... maybe at LA Lakers games.
Toast by MK's brother, Ron, is funny, and true! And, Ron should know, since he is forever known as Michelle Kwan's brother. Not such a bad association. Sounds all good to me.
Awwwwww. Michelle looks lovely and Clay is quite handsome in his dress blues. Much congrats to the couple!
In the meantime, here's the USFS HOF tribute montage from last year:
I'm getting the chills ... She grew up right before our eyes ... :sniff: (tears of joy)
Beautiful smile, beautiful Kween!
Clay Pell's sister said she was always amazed at his comfort zone with being a nerd. #Kwanwedding
A guy comfortable in his own skin, who's also brilliant, kind and generous, along with being husband to the Kween.

Michelle Kwan cut the cake with the ceremonial sword her new husband wore with his Coast Guard dress blues ...
Awwww... Would be nice to see pics/ vids of the cake-cutting.
She does look absolutely lovely. And exactly the kind of dress you'd imagine she'd wear too, lol. congratulations to the happy couple.
^^ Definitely preparing for Nationals I should think or likely in Omaha already. Even Michelle's brother-in-law Peter O had to miss the ceremony due to coaching obligations.
How is Michelle going to be able to skate at Nationals with this wedding taking place?
I wonder if they tried to take Nationals into account re: the potential guest list, then figured it was no use unless they wanted to postpone the wedding all the way AFTER Worlds. "Fine, we will just have it whenever because there is no accommodating everybody!"

The funds were raised at the annual casino night held in February, club president Adam Cherry said. The Rotary Club also helped purchase the Virginia-based charity's first pink jeep three years ago. > Read more.

Maybe, "burn" is a special action you can perform on a dead body to prevent uncroaking. It converts the body to ash, the other deaths wouldn't have had the special action performed.
Also, consider that Bogroll was first killed, then likely pulled apart by an angry mob, burnt, then whatever remains were left were further toasted and tossed by the Volcano Uncroaking, then buried to one extent or another. Bogroll may be the most thoroughly croaked unit in the history of Erfworld. Speculating that Wanda is lying for one reason or another is fine, but I for one have no trouble buying that Bogroll is just gone.

To think that fun is simple fun, while earnest things are earnest, proves all too plain that neither one thou truthfully discernest.
Yay, tone deafness galore began!
Ukraine: starts a bit off key, but then gets back. Wow, she can shout. Not sure she can sing though. She borrowed the dress from Jenna VDP, right?
Albania: I was waiting for the guy with the guitar to start singing but he never did. His guitar solo is quite impressive though. Do they HAVE sing in the europvision? Is vocal a must? They should ditch the singing ,especially the guitar guy's
Lithuania: Started well, but whenever he gets to the deep notes he is all over the place (FWIW he is singing he is falling apart. Indeed he does). The music is catchy, wish they had catchy lyrics as well.
Belgium: Sandhu? Oh... well... why he insists finishing every phrase with a note he can't hit???
Belarus: I'm sure there was a song somewhere, it just escaped me completely
39 countries are confirmed to take part. Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovakia and Portugal decided to withdraw for financial reasons. I wonder whether Turkey's real reasons (obviously that excuse is just bullshit) are also financial or maybe political?
EBU has told Switzerland that it won't accept them to enter an artist using a name of a religious organisation (Salvation Army) and wearing their uniforms. There's an impasse at the moment. Salvation Army was initially throwing a tantrum and threatening to quit but then saying that they hope some solution can be worked out.
Speaking of Switzerland, first Eurovision winner Lyn Assia tried her luck again for Switzerland with this piece of shit. Didn't even make the final, thank god.
10 artists will battle it out to represent Germany and there's some major, successful recording artists in the list. Very successful peddlers of lowest-common denominator dance crap Cascada will take part (and probably win :/) with "Glorious".
I still can't get over Gerai Gerai and Miss Sheep not winning the Lithuanian final (they came 2nd).
Moldavia will have two contests. One for the song and one for the singer.
Aleksandr Lukashenko, I mean Belarussan TV has decided to replace that godawful song with a new one. In his own words: "They took the money and brought no results" (speaking about Litesound) so from this year the winner of the contest will have to cover most of the costs.
Spain will be represented by El Sueño de Morfeo who will present four songs and one of them will be chosen 50/50 by the jury and the public.
Lozano (Vlatko Lozanoski) will represent Macedonia together with Esma Redzepova (70-year old Gypsy music legend). The song is yet to be picked.
Montenegro will be represented by a hip hop duo Who See. Hopefully with something as inane as "Euro Neuro".
Albanian communist era style music festival was won by "Identitet" by Adrian Lulgjuraj & Bledar Sejko. There's already accusations of plagiarism, refuted by the artists. The song is supposed to be heavily changed (as usual for Albania) before Eurovision.
Greece seems quite desperate. They asked Helena Paparizou to take part but she's refused. Greek National TV channel has given the organisation of the national selection up to a private tv channel Mad TV who promises a lot of changes, blah blah blah.
Azerbeijan national selection will last every day for eight weeks (!!!). Vast majority is karoke style performances of course.
Kazakhstan looks set to join EBU and would become eligible to enter Eurovision starting in 2014.
Some changes to the contest itself. It will last a day less and media center will open later. First rehearsals are going to be behind closed doors. All cost saving measures sold as making everything less about "bigger, louder, more flashy" and more "intimate".
The most controversial change is the song order not being chosen by random draw but hand picked by the Swedish producer in order to "provide the best show". Whilst on the one hand, it does make sense, it's just opening a huge pandora's box and asking for massive drama, to be honest.
Ah, Cascada!
When I first saw her video on MCM Top I had a thought cross my mind that she is just the right type for the Eurovision
To think that fun is simple fun, while earnest things are earnest, proves all too plain that neither one thou truthfully discernest.
Ziggy, as for Cascada - I doubt whether she'll win. I don't think she is able to sing live .
And I agree about Lithuanian song - Gerai Gerai & Miss Sheep were sooo underrated ...
Semi-final allocation:
Semi 1:
First half
The Netherlands
Second half
The UK, Sweden and Italy will vote in this semi-final.
Semi 2:
First half
San Marino
Second half
France, Germany and Spain will vote in this semi-final.
The full running order will now be decided by SVT and the production team once the songs are known, in conjunction with the EBU.
To think that fun is simple fun, while earnest things are earnest, proves all too plain that neither one thou truthfully discernest.
The logo is fantastic!
Swedes have already showed how awesome they are by holding a very well organised and efficient presentation + semi-final draw with no glitches happening (unlike in recent years).
How does Bulgaria alway wind up in semi 2?
"Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity MLK
Croatia has chosen "Mižerija" by Goran Topolovac as their song (not published yet) and now will be choosing the klapa (traditional folk band) to perform it.
This has caused some uproar because the whole point of a klapa is that it's you know... an actual band and not something like a boyband that you opportunistically cobble together.
Lys Assia who failed to qualify to Swiss finals was rumoured to be representing San Marino but that turned out to be untrue.
San Marino is at the moment choosing between four artists. Two are local and two are from Hong Kong and have no relation to San Marino whatsoever.
Serbians have until Monday to submit the songs and a lot of major and popular artists did so. Interestingly the three girls who have made it to the final of a X-Factor/Idol-like Serbian show submitted a song together.
First Finnish semi-final has taken place and the two songs which qualified to the final are from second place Diandra Flores "Colliding Into You" and from first place Mikael Saari "We Should Be Through".
I find Diandra really mediocre, to be honest. Both vocal and song like a million others.
Mikael is great. He seems really awkard but in a cute way. Lovely vocal, beautiful beautiful song. If he wins (which I expect him to), he should easily make top 10 in Malmo.
Moldavia has a rather terribly organised selection. They got 126 songs and 49 singers submitted. Singers have two days to pick a song they will sing in the semi-final and then another two days to negotiate with the composer and arrange the song (LOL!). Also there's nothing forbidding same song to be chosen by different singers. It's going to be a total hot mess.
Last edited by Ziggy; 01-19-2013 at 12:25 PM.
Btw, Mikael's song sounds very promising! I can't say the same about Diandra...
Some other observations:
*Yohanna takes part in Icelandic preselections again, this time with a song entitled "Þú", which I find rather disappointing... There is also Birgitta again (ESC 2003) with Meðal andanna.
*the first Norwegian semi-final includes Carina Dahl whose "Screw" was quite popular here and there...
*in Germany, apart from Cascada, there are also Söhne Mannheims . hopefully, with Xavier Naidoo and a good song! have a look also at Ben Ivory who has a Patrick Wolf vibe about him!
*I'm really curious about the British entry. Sophie Ellis-Bextor turned down the offer to represent UK, but seemingly Girls Aloud are interested .
*I'm also waiting for Melodifestivalen and reactivated Army of Lovers (La Camilla ).
I forgot to post the link to Ben Ivory's song. Is Eurovision ready to face the fact "we are the queers/gods/stars" etc. ?
Ah yeah Finnish ofc, typo there.
Yohanna's song is awful. Birgitta's song is also awful. Really middle-of-the-road soft-rock crap. Ugh.
Söhne Mannheims are awesome but I think Xavier Naidoo won't be taking part.
I really really love Ben Ivory's song! Unfortunately in a public vote, it'll have no chances against the likes of Cascada. :/ And since queer theoretically means strange, Eurovision can piss off.
Sophie-Ellis Bextor sold about nine copies of her last album so you'd think she'd be after getting into the spotlight again. It was a freakin' amazing album but she got no promotion whatsoever. On the other hand, she did report she wanted her next album to feature 'a more mature sound', so she probably doesn't want to get associated with Eurovision.
OMG, Girls Aloud would be AMAZING. One of the most incredible pop acts ever. Given they are about to split up , they have nothing to lose! It'll only be more promotion for their farewell tour. Since the "song couldn't have been released before X" rules have been relaxed now, they could enter "On The Metro" or "Every Now And Then" since neither of those songs were singles and they are both awesome.
I am freakin' excited about Army of Lovers reforming! Sadly "Rockin' the Ride" is not available anywhere yet but I hope it kicks ass and they win. Go Alexander Bard!
well, theoretically they can enter "Something New" as it was released mid-November... I agree, it would be amazing to have Girls Aloud at ESC. let's keep dreaming .
"Something New" wouldn't be eligible because it's been a major single which received substantial promotion, I think.
Although given it's past the cut-off date who knows maybe you're right.
But yeah it's a bit of a pipe-dream isn't it?
In Norway, the first semi-final took place yesterday and the following three acts qualified to the final:
3rd Vidar Busk "Paid My Way"
2nd Datarock "Underground"
Winner Gromth feat. Emil Solli-Tangen "Alone"
Emil Solli-Tangen is the younger brother of the dude who represented Norway with that awful song a few years back. He's also classically trained.
Here's the first Norwegian semi-final winner (studio recording):
This is going to win the Norwegian final, isn't it?
Whenever I hear that cringe-worthy, bottom-of-the-barrel "Evacuate the Dancefloor" song of theirs, I wish that a big hole would open up in the dancefloor to evacuate the singer.
France has chosen Amandine Bourgeois who will be performing "L'enfer et moi" (song not published yet).
Armenia has chosen Gor Sujyan, a rock singer. On 2nd March he'll be performing submitted songs and viewers+jury will pick the one to be performed in Malmo.

|Arnell Johnson, 85
|Written by TRF Times
Thief River Falls - Arnell Johnson, 85, passed away on Friday, June 1, 2012 under palliative care at Sanford Hospital in Fargo, N.D.
Memorial service were held on Monday, June 4 at Johnson Funeral Service in Thief River Falls, with Reverend Frank Ehling officiating.
Arnell Theodor Johnson was born July 26, 1926 in Warren, the son of Walter H. and Ellen Christine (Pearson) Johnson. He was baptized on the 11th day of November, 1926 in Warren. Arnell attended school in Karlstad.
After school, Arnell worked on his uncle's farm and for a farmer in Montana.
On Jan. 30, 1945, Arnell entered into service with the United States Army. He worked as a mechanic and also guarded prisoners while stationed in Okinawa, Japan. Arnell was honorably discharged on Sept. 21, 1945.
In November 1949, he was united in marriage to Mardell Olson in Roseau. Together they raised their family of four children: Barb, Susan, Kathleen, and Greg. The couple moved to Minneapolis, where Arnell attended school at Dunwoody, specializing in carpentry. They then moved to LaHabra, Calif., where the family resided for four years. Arnell worked there for the Hunts Company and for the United States Postal Service.
In 1956, the Johnson family moved to Circle Pines, where they resided until they moved to Erskine in 1968. It was then that Arnell went into business building homes with his brother, Walt.
In 1970 Arnell and Mardell moved to Thief River Falls. He, his son, Gregory, and his son-in-law, Ray started Johnson and Sons Construction, working together until his retirement in 1988. Arnell couldn't quite retire so he went to work part-time for Harlan Kirkeide, doing more construction work.
Arnell, along with his fishing buddy, Mardell, spent a lot of time fishing – their favorite pastime. With Mardell by his side, the couple helped their children build their homes, with Arnell doing the carpenter work and Mardell doing the finishing work. He liked to play any kind of cards, watch Jeopardy, and was an avid reader – sometimes reading five or six books a week. He had a very unique sense of humor and loved to tell stories of the old days.
For many years, he took excellent care of his wife as she battled Krohn's disease. There wasn't anything that he wouldn't do for her. There was nothing that Arnell couldn't fix– he was very knowledgeable in many areas making any project very easy for him.
Arnell will be remembered as a loving, hard-working husband, father, and grandfather who taught his children many valuable life lessons. His family is left with many, many fond memories. He will be greatly missed.
Arnell is survived by his children, Barb (Ray) Housey of Thief River Falls, Susan Johnson of Moorhead, Kathleen Johnson of Embarrass, Gregory (Diane) Johnson of St. Hilaire; 11 grandchildren; 14½ great-grandchildren; three great-great-grandchildren; many cousins, nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.
Preceding him in death are his wife, Mardell; brothers, Walt and Warren and sister, Lois Ann.

First off, does any know how long Polk speakers are supposed to last under normal to light use? I have a pair of M5's I purchased back around 2000 and one has a bad driver. Polk does not have a replacement - COME ON, IT'S A BASIC 6" SPEAKER! I have been emailing with Eric Wong from Tech Support and after his last ridiculous response indicating - buy more speakers from us or send me your speaker and we'll try and fix it, but, oh my I, can't guarantee we can do it. I tired of being a peed on customer. Does anyone know who I can speak with having authority to actually try and take care of a customer?
Thank you.
Not happy with Polk Customer Service.

CINCINNATI vs. DUKE
Thursday, Dec. 27, 6:30 pm
If this was a basketball game it would be cant miss. But Bowl Season is much more important to me than basketball. Butch Jones is among the hottest names in coaching circles after lifting the Bearcats to a share of their fourth Big East title in the past five seasons despite significant personnel losses from a year ago. Cincinnati is a 9-3 team who has been fighting for relevance as the lead institution in the Big East. They will have to continue their fight but had a great year this year. Quarterback Munchie Legaux lost his job earlier this year to Brendon Kay, but could see some time in this game to get more experience heading into 2013. A player to watch for Cincinnati is George Winn, who is the workhorse and someone who an entire offense can revolve around. His ability to break one at anytime is what the Blue Devils will have to watch out for.
David Cutcliffe, meanwhile, has won the nation's adoration after lifting the Blue Devils to their first bowl berth since 1994, snapping the nation's longest bowl-less streak. They have put together a very good team this season and were just one win away from going to the ACC championship game. Playing in the postseason without crossing state lines gives Duke a chance for plenty of its fans to be one hand. It also gives the 16 Duke players from the Charlotte area a chance to play in front of friends and family members. A key player to keep an eye on is QB Sean Renfree, who has been one of the best quarterbacks in the ACC this season. His all around play has shown that he can lead a poor program like Duke to a bowl game. Renfree will earn his way onto an NFL roster if he can have a good showing against a solid Cincinnati defense.
Duke needs to rise up from the ashes of despair. Duke was trampled four of their five previous games. The Devils' also fell to the Pacific-12 Conference Champion by 37 points and were beaten to a pulp by the Atlantic Coast Conference Champ and Runner-Up. Duke's lone away victory came at 5-7, 3-5 Wake Forest 34-27 to end September. Bottom line Duke is terrible at playing defense. Conversely Cincy was 2-2 on the road this season along with a 27-24 win in Washington D.C. over the Hokies. The 'Cats beat 4-7, 2-5 Temple 34-10 and should wallop the Blue Devils here. I list more stats here because this game should not be close. Cincinnati isn't a wildly-potent offense, and they have faced uncertainty at QB in the second half of the year. However, they did score 31 points per game, and they should be able to exceed that here. I don't feel great about the effect the coaching change will have on the Bearcats, but they are still the simple pick here. Duke is underwhelming offensively, they are terrible defensively, they are inexperienced, and they have struggled against decent teams. There is no good reason to consider picking Duke. Cincinnati will win this game by 3 touchdowns. Another one of these bowl matchups that I dont see as being close. Jump all over Cincinnati now and later as I have posted on my NFL express the past week.
