Rushing the S4?
10. PunyPoop (Posts: 752; Member since: 18 Jan 2013)
you know, PA is rushing, it should be s5... PA where's the quality? You're going the Samsung way..
19. Commentator (Posts: 3684; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
Maybe because of weak readership...?
17. SAYED-EJAZ (Posts: 225; Member since: 10 Oct 2013)
Whats wrong with you Phonearena ? Why are you simply Bashing Samsung ?
S3 Released May
S4 Released March !
Is it because week sales of S3 ?
31. gregariousguy (Posts: 11; Member since: 22 Aug 2012)
S3 was released in 2012 while s4 is released in 2013
32. Commentator (Posts: 3684; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
And, according to this report, the S5 will be released January 2014. It looks like they're on a 10-month release cycle.
This isn't exactly unprecedented. From the Nexus One to the Galaxy Nexus, the Nexus series was on an 11-month release cycle: January 2010 - December 2010 - November 2011.
Love it though. My contract's up in January, and if rumors about its all-metal body and 64-bit processor (assuming a usable amount of RAM) I'll totally fall for this.
35. SAYED-EJAZ (Posts: 225; Member since: 10 Oct 2013)
S5 is going to release in 2014 .
Whats problem?
48. RiseAgainst94 (Posts: 281; Member since: 03 Mar 2012)
That is the worst idea I have ever heard. "Sales are down because people who have an S3 don't need a new phone ever few months" "BRING OUT ANOTHER". yeah. no.

phonearena rushing to post that ???

"Samsung may be rushing the Galaxy S4 along due to weaker than expected S4 sales"
My brain hurts.

Hey guys is it worth buying the Galaxy S4 LTE-A version(snapdragon800)? Does it have any problems ?
25. jove39 (Posts: 1857; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
First check if your carrier supports LTE-A...if you want it just for S800...it's certainly worth every cent.
43. Navaid (Posts: 46; Member since: 05 Sep 2013)
It's best.
was meant for #4.
5. shuaibhere (Posts: 1986; Member since: 07 Jul 2012)
After reading the headlines....i thought a new improved version of s4 is coming..

I thought this post was written by Alan F. when I first read the title.
On topic, I think rushing the release will be a bad move on Samsung. Usually when you rush things, problems tend to happen.
11. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
"Usually when you rush things, problems tend to happen."
As it happened with iOS 7.
20. HASHTAG (unregistered)
I agree with that. I had so many issues with my iPad after I installed the update. Next time I'm gonna wait to install the update.
27. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
My iPhone 5 is still on 6.1.4, I didn't updated it because at the moment I don't use it, it just lives in my drawer. :) Maybe when iOS 7 will be more stable or when jailbreak for iOS 7 will be released, I will try to upddate it to iOS 7 to sniff around due to technical curiosity. :)
69. User72042 (Posts: 23; Member since: 30 Sep 2013)
You know,I don't Get it,Cause i haven't faced with any kind of issues With my Upgraded iPad,and Even with my new 5s,Everything Seems Normal,I read these posts and i realize that you guys have problem with iOS 7,But I'm Really Ok With it..
65. 9thWonderful (Posts: 232; Member since: 24 Jan 2013)
iOS 7 on iPad, iPod Touch & iPhone 5 w/no issues but maybe i'm not as picky.
68. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
Some people says that on iPad there is even more issues than on iPhone 5 with iOS 7.
7. JMartin22 (Posts: 1969; Member since: 30 Apr 2013)
This rushed article headline kind of reminds me of how PA rushes reviews of new phones with no substance just for the sake of being first..
26. McLTE (Posts: 821; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
It just kind of reminds me how the reporting on this site SUCKS.
33. bucky (Posts: 2563; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
Can always go somewhere else
37. McLTE (Posts: 821; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
I do go elsewhere.. doesn't make the reporting here suck any less, Bucky.
54. amiaq (Posts: 509; Member since: 30 Jun 2012)
I normally come here for the comment section only. Can't get these kind of commentators elsewhere.
64. jael206 (Posts: 145; Member since: 18 Jul 2012)
Aye, same here..
36. SAYED-EJAZ (Posts: 225; Member since: 10 Oct 2013)
To be honest I never ever read reviews from PA not because of rushing but because of low quality/standard..
I visit PA for only all sort of news ..
After gsmarena only anyother site in terms of reviews!
61. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
I never trust single source, I always check as much as possible sources and only then I'm making conclusions.
8. Rongocook (Posts: 76; Member since: 20 Sep 2013)
Sammy, bring it on!
9. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
Satisfied with my Note 3. Not upgrading.
16. papss (unregistered)
I have to agree. Plus when I get my l1020 back I'll have two great phones
21. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
If I want a back up, Nexus 5 is literally the only option for me.
28. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
The nexus 5 will be my next..... Despite being made by LG
30. emadshiny (Posts: 1144; Member since: 05 Dec 2012)
Note3 is surely among top 3 of 2013 even if PA gives it a biased 9.
12. LoveHater (Posts: 176; Member since: 09 Oct 2013)
Correct your Title S5 not S4
13. Joshing4fun (Posts: 1236; Member since: 13 Aug 2010)
I like the yearly cycle. To make a successor earlier than that shows that the phone is crap and isn't worth anything after after a few months.
29. Kishin (Posts: 704; Member since: 30 May 2013)
This is why Apple is number one sales in the USA because they accurate take their time 1 phone per year
40. willard12 (Posts: 1677; Member since: 04 Jul 2012)
It's 2 phones per year...and rising.
14. sergiobr (Posts: 707; Member since: 25 Feb 2013)
Waiting for January. Still very satisifed with my S3 and my Nokia 808 camera transfers by nfc. The best of two worlds. I hope Sammy produce something near Nokia camera in low light. I look the best camera centric phone, and NO to WP. Let´s see the S5 with OIS etc.
15. uchihakurtz (Posts: 368; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
Way too much variant of S4 and especially when the S800 version came out, must've pissed some customers. Sammy should take it slow and release one beast like they did with the Note 3. I hope they won't disappoint with the S5.
18. Kishin (Posts: 704; Member since: 30 May 2013)
There should take their time with the s5 and make only one version of the s5. Or it will fail if there is more than one product with the same name
22. jove39 (Posts: 1857; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Samsung need to understand...people don't need new phone every year...and samsung need to stop flood the market with variants...Galaxy S4 LTE-A, Galaxy J, S4 Active, S4 Zoom, S4 mini...there are so many S4 phones.
38. TwentyWendy (banned) (Posts: 65; Member since: 12 Aug 2013)
That's the definition of choice, and Samsung just follow the customers order, I don't see that a cons at all
23. ilia1986 (unregistered)
The problem is the those monster phones don't use even 50% of their power aside from some very high end 3d games. Anything which came this year and has a Snapdragon 600 processor and above can ususally handle anything Android can throw at it. Dozens of widgets, multiple launchers, simultaneous downloads, etc etc.
I've got a GS3 i9300. Mid-2012 phone with a 1.4 Ghz quad-core A9 and only 1Gig of ram. We are now nearing the end of 2013. Sure, it's rooted and running a custom rom courtesy of LS, but it's not OCed nor did I change the kernel. It runs LS 2.10 4.3. 7-8 homescreen widgets + 5 lockscreen widgets, Go launcher, custom icon pack. Perhaps some additional floating sidebar to quick-access some stuff. And not a hint of lag! Sure, apps may not open 0.0001 seconds faster if I had a Krait 800 processor with 3gigs of ram but it's just fine as it is!! I'm using it until it breaks down and dies, not until It gets old and outdated. :)
39. SAYED-EJAZ (Posts: 225; Member since: 10 Oct 2013)
Really even I am with that legendary S3 ..
Superb phone..
Still smooth with custom roms as it have powerful 1.4Ghz A9 exynos chip.
Superb battery .. and I am having a battery kit for charging second battery so I never plugged my phone to power recently showing how convinent and important is removable battery ..
Then I baught two OEM orginal back cover for future and one OEM battery in advance as I may not get availablility that time.
Because S3 is such a legendary phone I dont see a actual reason to change this phone. ..I will hold this until Note 4 ..till that I am with my S3 which served all my needs :)

please fix the article title.....
34. Sondae (Posts: 279; Member since: 02 Jan 2013)
To much s4 variants that samsung come plus the software, design and hardware isnt that good on s4. That is why s4 is being overshadowed fast by new android phone this past month. This is why i am still hold my s3 and waiting for new phone next year.
41. Klamba92 (Posts: 210; Member since: 25 Jun 2012)
I don't believe this, if it does release it will be April earliest. Weak sales say hello to lg and htc? Analysts just make things up, just like the moto x and iPhone rumours.
42. frazaco11 (Posts: 23; Member since: 23 Aug 2013)
This is a rumor anyway but if true ; Is Sammy in a kind of trouble or confused state? Why the rush ? Give us one solid beast of a phone and you wouldn't have to worry about competition . Haba! Too many S4 variants, not good for business it creates confusion for consumers .
If Apple released 5 inch iphone next year how will Sammy react to that huh?
All we need is a solid build quality phone , forget about the competition
44. sergiobr (Posts: 707; Member since: 25 Feb 2013)
Something new !http://www.gsmarena.com/six_wa
46. sergiobr (Posts: 707; Member since: 25 Feb 2013)
Note 3 in second !!!! And Android inside ! My next phone ! " ... that device comes in second, it's the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. The phablet was a very adequate still shooter, but it's the video recording that makes it stand out from the crowd. Narrow field of view aside, with 2160p recording, high quality 1080p @ 60fps and video zoom that's almost as impressive as that of the Lumia, the Note 3 video skills are very hard to match. " So glad to share !
45. Danishs (Posts: 147; Member since: 23 May 2013)
They say this about every flagship before it comes out. Never been true
47. JMartin22 (Posts: 1969; Member since: 30 Apr 2013)
I also don't buy this rumor, January is too early, they need time to order all their supplies so they can mass produce the phone units, historically, Samsung has always had inventory issues with the initial release of their high-end flagship phones.
53. darkkjedii (Posts: 21204; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Mmm hmmmm I seeeee...
49. Tsepz_GP (Posts: 987; Member since: 12 Apr 2012)
Lol, pure BS, we all know and Samsung to know that showing your cards too early is a big mistake, bringing the S5 in Jan, RIGHT AFTER the holiday quarter would be a BIG mistake, lol.
51. barondebxl (Posts: 131; Member since: 04 Nov 2011)
Rush the S5? Thats a terrible idea. Reason why S4 has/had so much lag and issues was because it was rushed. Samsung should take their time and release a killer device like the Note 3 but with an updated UI, touvhwiz is getting really old.

Whether you're raising funds or raising awareness, you'll find all the breast cancer awareness decorations at Stumps Party that you need to do the job right. Start by painting the town pink with balloons, streamers, large party props and more to decorate anything from a large venue for a gala honoring survivors to a small party recognizing a loved one. Our breast cancer awareness banners are a great way to get the word out about an event. They also look fantastic at the start/finish line of a fund-raising race. Our outdoor banners are made of weather-resistant vinyl and, in sizes up to 16 ¾ feet wide, they grab attention. With careful phrasing when you customize the sign, you'll easily be able to use it again the next year.
Personalized breast cancer awareness products such as a custom chocolate candy bars are fabulous for far more than providing a party favor. They're also terrific money-makers and promotional items all rolled into one sweet package. Set up stands at community events or anywhere people are going to gather throughout September and sell the candy. Provide details on the label about a coming gala or fund-raiser in October to drum up publicity for the event. With so many youth sports teams getting involved in breast cancer awareness during the fall, any Saturday is another good opportunity. With the playing fields awash in pink socks, the topic already is top of the mind for spectators. Set up a booth at the field or ask the league to sell the candy bars at their concession stand.

Bringing Personal Coaching to the 'Quantified Self,' MyFitnessPal Acquires Sessions
In a move to make your smartphone also act as your doctor and coach, nutrition app MyFitnessPal Inc. has acquired Sessions Inc., maker of a personal coaching app.
MyFitnessPal offers a crowdsourced database app containing the nutritional contents of more than 3.3 million food products. Although the San Francisco startup already works with devices like Fitbit and Jawbone and synchs with fitness apps like RunKeeper and MapMyFitness, MyFitnessPal founder Mike Lee indicated he had bigger ambitions.
"We're becoming the software layer under the quantified self," Mr. Lee said, referring to the recent wave of hardware devices to measure and analyze physical activity.
By purchasing Sessions, a startup that pairs people with personal coaches who train via smartphones, MyFitnessPal aims to enable people to create their own fitness and nutrition regimens and then track their progress.
"Because your phone is with you all the time, we can be there to help you make all the decisions," Mr. Lee said.
Some 40 million users were using the free mobile app before Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Accel Partners invested $18 million in a first institutional funding round last summer. Since then, the company has nearly doubled its workforce to around 70, established a foothold in both Germany and Brazil and expanded to 11 languages. The company reports it now integrates with 80% of wearable activity trackers and has more than 50 million registered users.
Mr. Lee said he would discontinue the current Sessions app and the startup's team would build a new one as part of MyFitnessPal's larger offereing. Sessions co-founders Nick Crocker and Ben Hartney will join MyFitnessPal, as will the rest of their team, according to MyFitnessPal.
Purchase price was not disclosed.
Sessions previously raised an undisclosed amount of seed funding from Rock Health, SV Angel and others.

Victory State Bank Points to Storm Damaged Car Warning
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – Victory State Bank wants to alert our customers to a recent influx of hurricane damaged cars popping up in private sales and on used car lots. Almost a year after Hurricane Sandy, storm damaged cars are still being sold to unknowing buyers. If you're shopping for a new ride, here's how to spot a storm-damaged vehicle according to the Federal Trade Commission.
- Look for
- Do a smell test.
- Get a vehicle history report. The current title is no guarantee that the car is clean. Flooded and salvaged cars can be re-registered in other states with clean titles, and then sold without disclosing the damage. That's called title washing. Your best bet is to use a service that will check the zip code where the car was last registered, and tell you if it was registered in a flooded area. Check a trusted database service that gathers information from state and local authorities, salvage yards and insurance companies for an independent and efficient review of a vehicle's history. For example, the Department of Justice's National Motor Vehicle Title Information SystemNational Insurance Crime Bureau

Context There is substantial debate about whether the results of nonrandomized
studies are consistent with the results of randomized controlled trials on
the same topic.
Objectives To compare results of randomized and nonrandomized studies that evaluated
medical interventions and to examine characteristics that may explain discrepancies
between randomized and nonrandomized studies.
Data Sources MEDLINE (1966–March 2000), the Cochrane Library (Issue 3, 2000),
and major journals were searched.
Study Selection Forty-five diverse topics were identified for which both randomized
trials (n = 240) and nonrandomized studies (n = 168) had been performed and
had been considered in meta-analyses of binary outcomes.
Data Extraction Data on events per patient in each study arm and design and characteristics
of each study considered in each meta-analysis were extracted and synthesized
separately for randomized and nonrandomized studies.
Data Synthesis Very good correlation was observed between the summary odds ratios of
randomized and nonrandomized studies (r = 0.75; P<.001); however, nonrandomized studies tended to show
larger treatment effects (28 vs 11; P = .009). Between-study
heterogeneity was frequent among randomized trials alone (23%) and very frequent
among nonrandomized studies alone (41%). The summary results of the 2 types
of designs differed beyond chance in 7 cases (16%). Discrepancies beyond chance
were less common when only prospective studies were considered (8%). Occasional
differences in sample size and timing of publication were also noted between
discrepant randomized and nonrandomized studies. In 28 cases (62%), the natural
logarithm of the odds ratio differed by at least 50%, and in 15 cases (33%),
the odds ratio varied at least 2-fold between nonrandomized studies and randomized
Conclusions Despite good correlation between randomized trials and nonrandomized
studies—in particular, prospective studies—discrepancies beyond
chance do occur and differences in estimated magnitude of treatment effect
are very common.

With the thousands and thousands of individuals suffering with food allergies, it can be hard to navigate menus or even find a restaurant where you can safely eat. I remember when I first learned that I had to avoid wheat, dairy and eggs. I was convinced I would never eat out again and avoided dinner parties with friends and family, not knowing what I would be able to eat. Many years have passed since that diagnosis and I have learned how to navigate foods to ensure I eat yummy, wholesome foods without feeling like I'm missing out. (more…)

Writing about magic
A further instalment from Prospero's Book:
The core problem in writing about magic is in expressing just what you want to say. It can never be adequate, nor ever just right: precisely the poet's problem. What can be said can never be the thing itself. It can point, lead and direct but not completely explain.
'The Tao that can be told is not the Eternal Tao.'
Our blocks and counters of words are but airy symbols capable of being misunderstood, or understood in ways we never planned. We must hope to hold in our word patterns some sense that will say more than the words: an underrun of meaning inexplicable in just those mere words.
This is the task and definition of poetry, to resonate deep images in a receiving mind.
Resonance is important. With our spells, some make superficial sense; others are gibberish, but for that very reason: that behind the rattle and bray of the sounds some super sense and feeling of deep significance is invoked and evoked. Good nonsense poetry can have the same effect. Thus invocation is vitally important to waken the super senses of the mind to their possibilities. Mantras, the intonations of the Mass, and the driving power of some music, strange chants and ululations, all contribute to this effect (distancing oneself from one's Self, if you like).

We favor and inside cabin, which of course is extremely cost effective since you use your cabin to sleep in. The beds were firm to our liking. Although the cabin is only 175 sq. feet, the space is used effectively. We had more than enough room. Instead of having a large bed, we choose the single bed option, which allowed for plenty of room in the center. The stateroom staff truly met all of our needs.
The Grand Restaurant is beautiful, and the staff and service is truly exceptional. The entrEe selection is above average, but nicely presented. It appears the company is attempting to reduce costs by changing the entree selection based on previous cruises with Celebrity. The traditional lobster meal was replaced with a seafood entree, which consisted of a half tail. The soups are very good. We really enjoyed the deserts. Service is excellent.
The Island Cafe food is exceptional for breakfast and very good for lunch. We would recommend the healthy food found in the Aqua-Spa Cafe. Truly healthy to eat. We eat most of our lunches there. The hamburgers and onion rings served by the pool are also exceptional. The Murano Restaurant, in our opinion, is not worth an additional cost of $30. The alcoholic drinks are expensive between $6 - $10 per drink.
On deck 12 there is the beautiful Hemispheric Lounge. The problem is they allow smoking on one side. It is actually a wonderful place to read a book and view the ocean while you are sailing. We also enjoyed the bridge tours that were given on both sailings while we were on see.
The evening entertainment is typical and definitely in need of improvement - the usual young singers and dancers, average comedian, average solo singers and instrumentalists. Movies were also shown some nights in the show lounge. The projector in the movie theater was new, but had a blue cast in the middle.
The exercise facilities were extremely busy at times. I found; however, that around 10:00 a.m., I could easily get on any of the machines I desired.
The staff and crew are truly some of the best - extremely helpful, friendly and courteous; always greeting you with a smile and giving assistance where required. My mother uses a travel wheelchair, and the staff went out of their way to be helpful to her.
This time getting embarkation and disembarking from the ship in Miami was one of the best. We especially liked the luggage area in Miami. We noticed that by hiring a porter, we definitely went to the head of the line as our transportation to the Miami airport was arranged through Celebrity.
Although we got exactly what we paid for, we were extremely pleased, and our looking forward to our next cruise with Celebrity. The Western Med. kept us busy with various tours, and I missed the sea days. Nothing beats a transatlantic cruise if you want to relax and not have any worries.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – While his four co-defendants languish in jail, Nicholas Green has pleaded guilty in a case where residents of a Lowell Township home were tied up, pistol whipped and the house was ransacked.
A couple and a child were at the Parnell Avenue SE home when the incident occurred.
The armed robbers tied up the residents and hit at least one of them with a pistol butt before going through the house. They took off with computers, cash, jewelry, an Xbox and six marijuana plants owned by a victim with a medical marijuana card, according to the Kent County Sheriff's Department.
Investigators believe the group knew the victim and the layout of the home, but have not revealed the nature of the relationship.
Last week, 20-year-old Green pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit armed robbery and the Kent County Prosecutor's Office dismissed a charge of armed robbery and is recommending a four-year minimum prison sentence. Green will be expected to cooperate with authorities to keep the deal in place.
Green will be sentenced in Kent County Circuit Court on Sept. 20.
The other suspects include Darell Wayne Boyd, 29, Termayne Marcelas Lagrone, 24, Darryl Anthony Warren, 29, and Christopher Lee Warren, 30. All are from Grand Rapids.
The four men are charged with armed robbery and home invasion as repeat offenders. The have hearings next month to try and work out a deal with the prosecution.
They face up to life in prison if convicted as charged.

Maybe I am overlooking them, but I can't seem to find any modern Bolt Action 7x57's in production. The only thing I have seen is the Ruger #1 which is a single shot.

I saw two NIB ruger 77's the other day. Synthetic stocks. Think they were blued. Looked like new/old stock.
September 19, 2008, 05:20 PM
Every once in a while Ruger does a run on the 77's in 7x57. It's not done every year.
September 19, 2008, 05:54 PM
i think most manufactures make the 7mm-08 now, i havn't seen a new 7x57 in years. ruger does make them someitmes, but that has allready been said.
September 19, 2008, 06:12 PM
Since most better modern bolt actions are based on the Mauser action, why not just buy an original 7MM Mauser of which there are 20 gazillion and be done with it?

Fresh Baked Cookies on Ribbon Wrapped PlatesMarie LeBaron
Tis' the season for gift giving. And what better gift to give than something baked fresh from the oven?!
Chocolate chip cookies are one of our families favorites. So this year we will be giving fresh baked cookies to neighbors and friends. To dress up our serving dish, we'll be decorating a plain paper plate with some holiday ribbon, a project that is perfect for my kids to help with. From start to finish we'll work together as a family, baking our cookies, decorating our plates, and delivering our goodies to friends and neighbors.
Here's how we made our fun ribbon wrapped plates:
Supplies for Ribbon Wrapped Plates:
- paper plates
- hole punch
- 2 feet of 3/8 inch ribbon, per plate
- cookies from Pillsbury
1. Punch holes into the edges of your paper plate about every 2 inches or so.
2. Thread your ribbon through each hole of your paper plate, starting at one hole and finishing at the same hole. There are a few ways to wrap the ribbon around the plate. You can either stitch it up and down or around and around. Both styles give your plate a fancy new look.
3. Tie off your ribbon once it's been threaded through each hole. You can tie it in a bow or a tight knot. Trim your excess ribbon.
4. Add your baked goodies to your plates and they are ready for gifting.
If you are making these plates with goodies a few days ahead, make sure to wrap each plate with tinfoil or plastic wrap to help the baked treats stay fresh. Enjoy!
Disclosure: Thanks very much to Pillsbury for sponsoring this post and providing Pillsbury products for me to have some fun with my family. Check out more posts in this campaign.

What is a site deployment module?
In a Drupal development-staging-production workflow, the best practice is for new features and bug fixes to be developed locally, then moved downstream to the staging environment, and later to production.
Just how changes are pushed downstream varies, but typically the process includes Features, manual changes to the production user interface, drush commands, and written procedures.
Some examples include:
- A view which is part of a Feature called xyz_feature is modified; the feature is updated and pushed to the git repo; and then the feature is reverted using
drush fr xyz_featureon the production site.
- A new default theme is added to the development site and tested, and pushed to the git repo; and then the new theme is selected as default on the production site's
- Javascript aggregation is set on the dev site's
admin/config/development/performancepage, and once everything works locally, it is set on the production via the user interface.
This approach is characterized by the following properties:
- Each incremental deployment is different and must be documented as such.
- If there exist several environments, one must keep track manually of what "remains to be done" on each environment.
- The production database is regularly cloned downstream to a staging environment, but it is impossible to tell when was the last time it was cloned.
- If an environment is out of date and does not contain any important data, it can be deleted and the staging environment can be re-cloned.
- Many features (for example javascript aggregation) are never in version control, at best only documented in an out-of-date wiki, at worst in the memory of a long-gone developer.
- New developers clone the staging database to create a local development environment.
- Automated functional testing by a continuous integration server, if done at all, uses a clone of the staging database.
The main issue I have with this approach is that it overly relies on the database to store important configuration, and the database is not under version control. There is no way to tell who did what, and when.
The deployment module
Using a deployment module aims to meet the following goals:
- Everything except content should be in version control: views, the default theme, settings like Javascript aggregation, etc.
- Incremental deployments should always be performed following the same procedure.
- Initial deployments (for example for a new developer or for a throwaway environment during an automated test) should be possible without cloning the database.
- Tests should be run agains a known-good starting point, not a clone of a database.
- New developers should be up and running without having to clone a database.
Essentially, anything not in version control is unreliable, and cloning the database today can yield a bug which won't be present if you clone the database tomorrow. So we'll avoid cloning the database in most cases.
The Dcycle manifesto states that each site should have a deployment module whose job it is to keep track of deployment-related configuration. Once you have settled on a namespace for your project, for example
example, by convention your deployment module should reside in
Let's now say that we are starting a project, and our first order of business is to create a specific view: we will create the view, export it as a feature, and make the feature a dependency of our deployment module. Starting now, if all your code is under version control, all new environments (production, continuous integration, testing, new local sites) are deployed the same way, simply by creating a database and enabling the deployment module. Using Drush, you would call something like:
echo 'create database example' | mysql -uroot -proot
drush si --db-url=mysql://root:root@localhost/example --account-name=root --account-pass=root
drush en example_deploy -y
The first line creates the database; the second line is the equivalent of clicking though Drupal's installation procedure; and the third line activates the deployment module.
Because you have set your feature to be a dependency of your deployment module, it is activated and your view is deployed.
Incremental deployments
We want the incremental deployment procedure to always be the same. Also, we don't want it to involve cloning the database, because the database is in an unknown state (it is not under version control). Another reason we don't want to clone the database is because we want to practice our incremental deployment procedure as must as possible, ideally several times a day, to catch any problems before we apply it to the production site.
My incremental deployment procedure, for all my Drupal projects, uses Drush and Registry rebuild, and goes as follows once the new code has been fetched via git:
drush rr
drush vset maintenance_mode 1
drush updb -y
drush cc all
drush cron
drush vset maintenance_mode 0
The first line (
drush rr) rebuild the registry in case we moved module files since the last deployment. A typical example is moving contrib modules from
sites/all/modules/ to
sites/all/modules/contrib/: without rebuilding the registry, your site will be broken and all following commands will fail.
drush vset maintenance_mode 1 sets the site to maintenance mode during the update.
drush updb -y runs all update hooks for contrib modules, core, and, importantly, your deployment module (we'll get back to that in a second).
drush cc all clears all caches, which can fix some problems during deployment.
On some projects, I have found that running
drush cron at this point helps avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
Finally, move your site out of maintenance mode:
drush vset maintenance_mode 0.
Our goal is for all our deployments (features, bug fixes, new modules...) to be channelled though
hook_update_N()s, so that the incremental deployment procedure introduced above will trigger them. Simply,
hook_update_N() are functions which are called only once for each environment.
Each environment tracks the last
hook_update_N() called, and when
drush updb -y is called, it checks the code for new
hook_update_N() and runs them if necessary. (
drush updb -y is the equivalent of visiting the update.php page, but the latter method is unsupported by the Dcycle procedure, because it requires managing PHP timeouts, which we don't want to do).
hook_update_N()s is the same tried-and-true mechanism used to update database schemas for Drupal core and contrib modules, so we are not introducing anything new.
Now let's see how a few common tasks can be accomplished the Dcycle way:
Example 1: enabling Javascript aggregation
Instead of fiddling with the production environment, leaving no trace of what you've done, here is an ideal workflow for enabling Javascript aggregation:
First, in your issue tracker, create an issue explaining why you want to enable aggregation, and take note of the issue number (for example #12345).
Next, figure out how to enable aggregation in code. In this case, a little reverse-engineering is required: on your local site, visit
admin/config/development/performance and inspect the "Aggregate JavaScript files" checkbox, noting its
name property:
preprocess_js. This is likely to be a variable. You can confirm that it works by calling
drush vset preprocess_js 1 and reloading
admin/config/development/performance. Call
drush vset preprocess_js 0 to turn it back off again. Many configuration pages work this way, but in some cases you'll need to work a bit more in order to figure out how to affect a change programmatically, which has the neat side effect of providing you a better understanding of how Drupal works.
Now, simply add the following code to a
hook_update_N() in your deployment module's .install file:
function example_deploy_update_7001() {
variable_set('preprocess_js', 1);
// you can also do this with Features and the Strongarm module.
Now, calling
It is important to realize that
hook_update_N()s are only called on environments where the deployment module is already in place, and not on new deployments. To make sure that new deployments and incremental deployments behave similarly, I call all my update hooks from my hook_install, as described in a previous post:
* Implements hook_install().
* See http://dcycleproject.org/node/43
function example_deploy_install() {
for ($i = 7001; $i < 8000; $i++) {
$candidate = 'example_deploy_update_' . $i;
if (function_exists($candidate)) {
Once you are satisfied with your work, commit it to version control:
git add sites/all/modules/custom/example_deploy/example_deploy.install
git push origin master
Now you can deploy this functionality to any other environment using the standard incremental deployment procedure, ideally after your continuous integration server has given you the green (or in the case of Jenkins, blue) light.
Example 2: changing a view
If we already have a feature which is a dependency of our deployment module, we can modify our view; update our features using the Features interface at admin/structure/features or using
drush fu xyz_feature -y; then adding a new
hook_update_N() to our deployment module:
* #12346: Change view to remove html tags from trimmed body
function example_deploy_update_7002() {
features_revert(array('xyz_feature' => array('views_view')));
In the above example,
views_view is the machine name of the Features component affecting views. If you want to revert other components, make sure you're using the 2.x branch of Features, visit the page at
admin/structure/features/xyz_feature/recreate (where
xyz_feature is the machine name of your feature), and you'll find the machine names of each component next to its human name (for example
node for content types,
filter for text formats, etc.).
Example 3: changing the default theme
Say we create a new default theme xyz and want to enable it:
* #12347: New theme for the site
function example_deploy_update_7003() {
variable_set('theme_default', 'xyz');
Example 4: adding and removing modules
I normally remove
toolbar on all my sites and put
admin_menu_toolbar instead. To deploy the change, add admin_menu to
sites/*/modules/contrib and add the following code to your deployment module:
* #12348: Add a drop-down menu instead of the default menu for admins
function example_deploy_update_7004() {
// make sure admin_menu has been downloaded and added to your git repo,
// or this will fail.
Don't change production directly
Of course, nothing prevents clueless users from modifying views, modules and settings on the production site directly, so I like to add
admin/reports/status saying "This site is designed to use Javascript aggregation, please turn it back on". You might also check that all your Features are not overridden, that the right theme is on etc. If this technique is used correctly, when a bug is reported on the production site, the
admin/reports/status page will let you know if any settings on the production site are not what you intended, and what your automated tests expect.
Next steps: automated testing and continuous integration
Now that everything we do is in version control, we no longer need to clone databases, except in some very limited circumstances. We can always fire up a new environment and add dummy content for development or testing; and, provided we're using the same commit and the same operating system and version of PHP, etc., we're sure to always get the same result (which is not the case with database cloning).
Specifically, I normally add a .test file in my deployment module which enables the deployment module on a test environment, and runs tests to make sure things are working as expected.
Once that is done, it becomes easy to create a Jenkins continuous integration job to monitor the master branch, and confirm that a new environment can be created and simpletests pass.

Great write-up!
Great implementation of a deployment workflow based on the mantras of "Don't touch production" and "Sinlge source of the truth - in a version-controlled repository".
Taking "drush updb" to the extreme by making hook_update_N() the workhorse of an entire install, rather than individual modules is certainly an innovative approach.
Not taking away anything from your approach, I personally prefer the UI of Features+Strongarm and exporting that to a module to go into Git over coding my own variable_set().
Re: "nothing prevents clueless users from modifying views, modules and settings on the production site directly"... one company I worked for which was paranoid about security solved this simply by stripping their sites from the login page, i.e. removing /user from the menu. Works if your site is brochure-ware. If the site DOES need a login, then maybe roles with "dangerous" permissions could be programmatically removed as part of deploying to production.

Great article !
Great process !
I try to implement something like that and i find yours very interesting.
I wonder if you have a fallback process if your implementation in hook_update_N failed in production for example ? Thx

@Mk good suggestion.
This module lets you do just that. If the module enable fails, the update hook fails. If setting a variable fails, the update hook fails. If the Feature doesn't revert properly, it reports the situation and moves on. It is all about feedback. https://www.drupal.org/project/hook_update_deploy_tools

use drush fra instead of reverting features in update functions?
Thanks for a great article. It has inspired me to get a bit more discipline with updates.
One thing, I wonder if it would be better to drush fra the production site on each deployment rather than putting specific features_revert calls in the update functions. Two reasons:
1. If your configuration is all exported to code correctly, reverting all features should be fine rather than targeting a specific feature.
2. With a lot of deployments your .install file is bound to get a long list of update functions that do nothing but revert a feature. This gets a bit tedious to write, also it means if the module is installed, all those reverts will be run.
I'm reverting features on deployment via acquia cloud deploy hooks with great success.

Clear caches before reverting features
drush cc all immediately before
drush fra -y should solve the drush features-revert-all wrongly tells me features is not enabled problem.

I'm actually just starting out with the Drupal + Git + Drush trio, and I've been scratching my head on how to do and organize incremental database changes.
This will be my guideline.

hook_update_n starting at 7001?
I'm getting into code-based development and found your post, with its clear examples, a godsend. I'm puzzled as to why you start numbering hook_update_n calls at 7001; the Drupal handbook page says "2 digits for sequential counting, starting with 00."
Not criticizing, just curious.

The other way to do the hook_install() function is as follows:
->fields(array('schema_version' => 7000))
->condition('name', 'example_deploy')
This ensures that the schema version is set to 7000 when installed rather than the latest hook_update_n so that all update functions will run when a database update is performed.

Memories from the Birthplace House #3
The following passage comes from MEMORANDA: Being a Statement by an Engineer, Theodore J. Hoover, 1939
Another visiting-place was Uncle Martin Marshall's. He married my mother's sister, Ellen. They lived west of the town, about half way to Iowa City. Their house was situated in a narrow belt of natural forest. It is interesting to note that some years later when I read Grimm's Fairy Tales, this house or the woods around it became to my imagination the scene of most of them. These woods were also for me the scene of "Midsummer Night's Dream." Here one could find hickory nuts and walnuts in the autumn, and there was a high swing with hickory poles instead of ropes; there were also several heaps of old disused and long obsolete reaping and threshing machines, which made ideal forts or infernal machines at will; but the finest thing of all was the great pumpkin war. My uncle always raised a large quantity of pumpkins to feed the dairy cows. These would be brought in from the fields and piled in a pyramid, as much as twenty feet high by fifty feet, or more, long. We were allowed to do whatever we liked with all the pumpkins, as long as we cleaned up the debris at the end of the day and placed it in the troughs for the cows when they came home out of the woods at milking time. So we made "Jack-o-lanterns" of every sort our fancy could conceive, and arranged them by companies and battalions and brigades. Then we attacked them, foot and horse, with a corn-cutter, a weapon like a machete or a Circassian sword, and annihilated the whole army. There was no limit to the slaughter save from physical exhaustion with the rather hard chopping. It seems to me I had a companion in those battles, but his face is veiled to me now; it was probably Herbert Clark Hoover.
Alana Ford October 11, 2011 at 2:19 pm
I learned that Herbert and his younger sister and older brother and parents lived in a house with two small rooms. One room was the living room, kitchen, and dining room. Then they had the bedroom with the baby carriage and a bed that pulls out. They had a bowl next to the bed that pulls out; they used that to pee in if they didn't want to go to the outhouse.
Dylan schaeffer October 11, 2011 at 2:19 pm
Dear Herbert Hoover museum employ,
My name is Dylan Schaeffer. We went to your museum yesterday. I go to Bettendorf Iowa. The name of my school is Neil Armstrong. We really enjoyed our visit yesterday.
Here is a list of things I had fun doing. I liked when we went to see his cottage where he lived and when we saw his birth place. After we went to see his church and finally when we saw the movie.
Then we went to see were his dad worked. He was a Black smith. He had to live in a small house with only five people. He didn't have a bathroom inside he had an outhouse. They had to make butter in a butter churner. They had a lot of equipment back then. They went to church and boys and men would sit on one side and girls and women would sit on the other side.

Butler man charged in Forest County double homicide
TIONESTA -- Authorities charged a Butler man with criminal homicide in the stabbing deaths of a man and woman at a Forest County home today.
State police at Marienville charged Scott A. Black, 38, with two counts of criminal homicide. Black was arraigned before Forest County District Judge George Gregory and placed in Warren County Jail without bond.
Forest County Corner Norman J. Wimer said Marcelle I. Edwards, 42, was found dead inside her home at 229 Holli Acre Road in Tionesta shortly before 2 a.m., and Donald L. Shay, 43, of Leechburg, was found dead outside the home. Both appeared to have died from multiple stab wounds, Wimer said.
Wimer said there appeared to be an ongoing dispute between the two victims and Black, whom authorities said was Edwards' ex-boyfriend.
An autopsy is scheduled for both victims Sunday.

Music hall and theatre interiors were a favourite subject of Sickert, but whereas he preferred to concentrate on the eerie effects of flaring gas jets on the faces of performers and audience members, Bayes's pale watercolour tones emphasise the blazing lights and sparkling surfaces of the pink, white, and gilt decor of this Edwardian theatre. This, the second of two views he painted of this theatre interior, is dominated by the elaborate shell and pearl motif above the stage. The decoration pays tribute to local pride -- Colchester has long been known for its oysters. The Old Grand Theatre opened in Colchester in 1905, as the Grand Palace of Varieties. By the time Bayes painted this scene, the theatre was nearing the end of its existence as a venue for live performance. Many Victorian and Edwardian theatres were lost to dereliction and postwar development, but the Old Grand Theatre was relatively lucky: it became in turn a cinema and a bingo hall, before being restored inside and out in the 1980s and given a new lease on life as a nightclub.

When Tommy Faircloth thinks of film festivals, he imagines cocktail parties and ladies wearing big hats. It's not his scene.
If you go
What: Crimson Screen Horror Film Festival
WHEN: Saturday and Sunday, doors open at 9 a.m. both days
Where: Sterett Hall Auditorium, 1530 7th St., North Charleston
Price: Daily tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door; VIP all-access passes are $25 in advance, $30 at the door
For more info: www.crimsonscreenfilmfest.com
That's part of the reason behind Faircloth's decision to start the Crimson Screen Horror Film Festival, which will run Saturday and Sunday at Sterett Hall Auditorium in North Charleston.
The festival, which is the first of its kind in South Carolina and will screen 39 independent horror shorts and features, has been a dream of Faircloth's ever since he first noticed the chilly reception that genre movies, like his most recent short film "The Cabin," often received at traditional film events.
" 'The Cabin' was accepted to a nongenre festival in Athens, Ga., but when we met the director of the festival, the first thing he says was that he hated horror films," recalls Faircloth. "That really ruined the rest of the festival for us."
Not surprisingly, "The Cabin" and Faircloth's other films found much more enthusiastic acceptance among fellow horror fans at genre festivals. "It's like a ballet versus a rock show," he says. So after months of attending festivals around the country, Faircloth is bringing the rock show closer to home.
A Columbia native, Faircloth's interest in film started towards the end of high school. He originally wanted to be an actor, but after working as an extra and snagging a small role on the TV show "In the Heat of the Night," he realized he was more interested in what went on behind the camera.
In 1995, while studying at the University of South Carolina, Faircloth shot his first feature film using the school's equipment. That movie, "Crinoline Head," was a tongue-in-cheek homage to the horror films that inspired Faircloth as a kid.
"There weren't any horror festivals at the time," says Faircloth, who sent out VHS screeners to media outlets hoping for a response. Fangoria magazine liked the film and interviewed Faircloth for an article, which helped him jump-start his second feature, a slasher film called "Generation Ax."
Though both directorial efforts were well-received in the horror community, there weren't many opportunities to screen independent genre films for a wider audience, so Faircloth spent the next few years working on a variety of documentaries and dabbling in digital filmmaking techniques.
Last year, Faircloth received a call from a man offering to re-release his earlier films on VHS, a format undergoing a minor resurgence as an analog alternative to DVDs and streaming services. His interest piqued, Faircloth found that videotape copies of "Crinoline Head" and "Generation Ax" were selling for more than $100 on eBay.
"I had no idea they were going for that much, so I decided I'd test some new camera equipment and shoot a short film," Faircloth says.
Twelve years after the release of "Generation Ax," Faircloth shot "The Cabin," a short film about a woman who gets more than she bargains for on a romantic trip to a remote cabin with a man she met online.
The movie was partly inspired by "The Strangers," an atmospheric slasher with a minimalist storyline filmed in upstate South Carolina and starring Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman.
Faircloth submitted "The Cabin" to a handful of genre festivals and it started picking up awards, which inspired him to take the movie to events around the country.
"I noticed how hard it was to get a genre film into a regular festival," says Faircloth, pointing out that other directors had expressed a similar frustration. "It seemed like everyone except for South Carolina had a horror film festival."
So Faircloth put out a call for submissions for what would become the state's first horror film festival.
"Within three months, we were flooded with submissions, and I was shocked by how good the films were," says Faircloth, who watched every film that was submitted. "We have everything from zombie films to slashers to thrillers. There are even a couple of claymation films by a guy in Mount Pleasant."
Faircloth originally planned to host Crimson Screen at Cinebarre, but he says that it quickly became apparent that they would need a larger venue when more and more filmmakers started making arrangements to attend the festival.
"Out-of-town guests tell me they can't wait to see Charleston," Faircloth adds, who says that the decision to base the festival in Charleston rather than his hometown was a good way to boost interest.
But even Faircloth didn't expect to receive such a positive response from horror filmmakers as far away as Colombia, Australia and the Netherlands. The festival will feature screenings shot in 15 states and nine countries.
While Crimson Screen is an international festival, Faircloth wanted to make sure that South Carolina filmmakers had a chance to shine, so he created a "Homegrown Horror" category featuring films produced in-state. Four Charleston-area shorts will be screened.
A novice to the world of film festival organizing, Faircloth admits that finding sponsors and funding was challenging, but says he is already thinking about next year. He wants the second Crimson Screen to be longer in order to accommodate more films.
Faircloth has also recently started shooting a sequel to "Crinoline Head," which will star independent horror veteran Debbie Rochon and will be filmed primarily in Meggett. He hopes to wrap up shooting in May and host a premiere in Charleston sometime in June.
Until then, Faircloth hopes that horror fans, casual viewers and adrenaline junkies will join him in North Charleston.
"At horror festivals, audiences want to scream. They want to see blood," says Faircloth, who promises that Crimson Screen will offer plenty of both. "Plus, you could get the chance to see the next huge movie. You never know."

I liase strongly with my clients to ensure you get the look and feel you're after. All this within your budget.
I pride myself on designing unique and unusual websites that break away from the typical boring sites that populate the web. I like to think of them as works of art, as well as being functional, seach engine friendly, easy to navigate and html and css compliant.
I hand code the html and css for many of my sites, as well as utilizing some of the fabulous javascripts availble these days. I also have many sites utilizing E-commerce and CMS (Content Management Systems).
SEO is a major component, and keyword analysis comes included in the price. (However I have a few partners specializing in SEO who can really get your ranking up there). I can help you write your copy, or simply "edit for web" to get it reaching your target audience and speaking their language.
Here is a selection of websites I have built. (To go to live sites click on small grey arrow bottom right of each image)

You name it I can put it together for you, with style and affordablility. Click on am image to see enlargments & futher images in the range.
What to do to get started?
Do as much of your own research as possible first. Collect any images you want to use, bookmark sites you like or that have elements your would like to see on your own website. Fine tune your text, have a look at other projects in the same theme to get an idea of what to say.
If you have good idea what you would like the project to look like, then it's a lot easier for me to transfom those ideas into reality. But if not, we can work together to find the look and feel that suits you. I have access to extensive quality image banks to source the images you need.
Once you think you're ready, get in touch to organise a quote and let me know the time-frame and budget you're hoping the project will fall into.
Projects usually come in on budget (unless you change your mind over and over, this pushes the price up - charged on an hourly rate, however I go all out to ensure you're happy with the look and functionality of your site), and my pricing schedule is very affordable. I also pride myself in meeting even the tightest deadline.
Don't be shy and give me a ring soon.
I was born in Sydney and grew up around Narrabeen on Sydneys Northern Beaches.
After a stint at James Cook Uni studying Marine Biology in Townsville, Far Nth Qld, I decided that Art was the way to the heart, and through creating visual beauty and harmony I could be more effective in bringing my gifts and talents to the world.
I then travelled to Broome WA where I had many adventures including living on an Aboriginal commnity for a year, working as a governess on a station and working as a deckhand on a pearl farm.
The light and colour in Broome got me painting and I participarted in numerous exhibitions.
However the call to the east coast was strong and I returned to the Byron Shire in the mid 1990's.
My father Peter Handran-Smith worked for many years as a graphic designer, and I remember spending time as a child playing with his letraset and old photographic dark rooms etc, I suppose this was my inspiration to go into the field of graphic design myself.
I completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts at Southern Cross Uni in 2000, with major electives in Computer Graphics, Painting and Ceramics.
After this I embarked on a Web Design Aprenticeship with web wizard Dennis Wilcox who created the successful byronbaynow.com.
Since that time I have been working as a Freelance Graphic and Web Designer. I am constantly updating my skills and keeping abreast of the constantly changing technology in this industry.
I bring my eye for beauty, colour and form to my work, and feel I am so lucky to be working in a job which I find stimulating and challenging, where I can help people take their business to the next level, and use my artistic creativity to add beauty and visual harmony to the big bad web. For this I am grateful.
I mostly use:
Adobe Photoshop (Highly Proficient)
Adobe Illustrator (Proficient)
Dreamweaver (Highly Proficient)
Hand code XHTML (Proficient)
CSS (Proficient)
Java Script (Intermediate).
Feel free to call me at my Mullumbimby Studio 9-5 monday to friday on (02) 66 844 459 to ask for a quote or discuss your web design and graphics needs.
Distance needn't be a barrier. With email, skype and screenshare, I have clients who I've never met fact to face, but have worked with extensively. Do still contact me if you like my work but think you live too far away.
You can drop me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com or fill in the form on the right.
I look forward to hearing from you..!

PARUMALA: Adoor Prakash, Minister for Health, Government of Kerala, inaugurated the new dialysis center at St. Gregorios Hospital, Parumala. The center comes under the Nephrology Department.
The Government was planning to start dialysis centers at District Hospitals, said the Minister in his speech.
Moran Mar Baselios Paulose II, Catholicos of the East, presided over the meeting.
"Kerala has more than 3000 patients, who need dialysis, every year. The Government machinery alone cannot solve this problem. There comes the relevance of encouragement to be given to private institutions in the health sector", said the Pontiff.
P.J. Kurian M.P. inaugurated the new neonatal ICU and Anto Anthony M.P. inaugurated the new operation theater wing.
Fr. Alexander Koodarathil, CEO, St. Gregorios Hospital, Fr. Yuhanon Ramban, Manager of Parumala Seminary, Thankamany Nagappan, President, Kadapra Panchayath, K.O. Thomas and Adv. Biju Oommen, Members of the Hospital Managing Committee and Dr. Alex Paul, Director of the St. Gregorios Hospital, Paruamal spoke on the occasion.

Well, Blake Shelton can't say he wasn't warned. Should he and Miranda Lambert ever split, he gets a little preview of how his wife will react in Lambert's crazy cool video for "Mama's Broken Heart."
[More after the jump...]
Set in the '60s or early '70s, given Lambert's bouffant hair and green and blue eye shadow, the video features Lambert going a little batty behind closed doors of her mansion (Hey, we haven't seen the guy and we still think she got the better part of the deal), as she drinks, smokes and pops pills in an effort to get over her man.
In true Southern fashion, her mama is telling her to buck up and, above all, keep up appearances. "It don't matter how you feel, it only matters how you look," Mom cautions. Lambert is having none of it, as she takes to her bed, in sexy lingerie, and come increasingly undone as she takes her anger out on an innocent plate of mashed potatoes and veggies.
No one does Woman Done Wrong songs better than Lambert. And with the clip for "Mama's Broken Heart," it would appear no one does videos better than her either.
