Book the Ninja Turtles' lair and support PACER's NBPC
Posted: 5/23/2016
Complete with professional graffiti art, New York City subway signs, and piles of pizza boxes, the home of Michelangelo, Raphael, Leonardo, and Donatello is officially open to guests, according to a listing on Airbnb.
The space in lower Manhattan has been transformed to resemble the world of the franchise down to the last detail, including a light-up basketball court with glow-in-the-dark basketballs, a state-of-the-art home entertainment system, and the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game from 1989.
The rental is part of the promotion for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, which opens in theaters on June 3. For the moment, there are no more available dates, but Twitter users who follow @TMNTMovie can receive hints on when the lair will be available again.
For every guest that is lucky enough to stay, a donation in their name will be made to PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center. Say the turtles, "Together we can shell shock bullying, 'cause that's what bros do."
Hope from her peers

When a high school student experiences bullying at her new school, she finds hope from her peers. Kindness, support and hope are things that everyone can give – and your actions matter. When peers and adults show that compassion and respect are important, they create a culture that raises the standards of behavior for everyone.

Interview with Drayter vocalist/guitarist Liv Miner: 'It's good to be able to have a positive impact'
Posted: 3/14/2016
Just days before Drayter's full-length studio debut album release, for NINE, the band announced their partnership with the PACER National Bullying Prevention Center. Drayter pledged 100 percent of sales proceeds from pre-orders of NINE to NBPC. The track "Not Alone," which addresses isolation and loneliness, is being used to promote PACER's NBPC You're Not Alone, We're Here For You campaign.
Liv Miner spoke to Guitar Girl Magazine about recording NINE, her passion for guitars – in particular her Music Man Armada – and why the PACER campaign is so important to Drayter. Liv shared, "bullying is a much more relevant and intense topic than it used to be, so it was really cool to come out with 'Not Alone,' and join up with this anti-bullying organization and get the awareness out. Everyone needs hope. No one wants to feel isolated, lonely, picked on, degraded, and all these things that are happening because of the Internet. It's good to be able to have a positive impact. We've gotten a lot of positive feedback for it, and for the album as a whole, and it's been wonderful." Read full article at Guitar Girl Magazine>>>

In Brief: SEC reaches settlement with Diamond Foods
SEC reaches settlement with Diamond Foods
WASHINGTON -- The Securities and Exchange Commission has charged Diamond Foods and two of its former executives for their roles in an accounting scheme to falsify walnut costs in order to boost earnings for the snack food maker.
Diamond Foods will pay $5 million to settle the charges. Former CEO Michael Mendes has also agreed to settle charges against him. But the SEC said Thursday that its litigation continues against former Chief Financial Officer Steven Neil.
The SEC says Neil directed the effort to underreport money paid to walnut growers by pushing the recording of payments into later fiscal periods. That, in turn, made the company's earnings results appear better than they were.
Google launches private ferry service
SAN FRANCISCO -- How's this for an employee perk? Google workers commuting from San Francisco to the company's Silicon Valley campus can now make part of the trek on an 83-foot, Wi-Fi-equipped catamaran.
The popular search engine has launched a free ferry service from San Francisco's ferry terminal to the Port of Redwood City about 26 miles away, where employees can then hop a private bus to work.
Named the "Triumphant," the charter ferry can carry up to 150 passengers and runs twice each morning and evening, with voyages lasting about 47 minutes each way, according to KPIX-TV.
Snapchat rolls out update after breach
NEW YORK -- Snapchat has released an update to its disappearing-photo app following a security breach last week that exposed the phone numbers of millions of users.
And for the first time since the New Year's breach, the company said it's sorry.
Snapchat had promised a more secure version of its app following the breach, which allowed hackers to collect the usernames and phone numbers of 4.6 million of its users.
The Los Angeles startup on Thursday released an update to its Android and iPhone apps that it says "improves Find Friends functionality." The feature, which suggests Snapchat connections based on a user's phone contacts, was at the heart of the breach.
JPMorgan looks to sell prepaid card business
NEW YORK -- JPMorgan Chase says it is considering a sale of its prepaid card business.
The company said Thursday it is no longer accepting new prepaid card business but will continue to support existing cardholders. The prepaid card business includes services for corporate and government programs, including health savings accounts.
Chase bank customers are not affected by the decision.
JPMorgan said in December that about 465,000 users of its UCard prepaid cash card may have had their personal information hacked.

This is what I found so far for the ex-div date, what a full of bologna!!! Talk about discrepancies!
Bloomberg Business Week - June 5th, 2013
Ameritrade (fullofabs) - June 5th, 2013
SeekingAlpha - May 3rd, 2013
MarketWatch - May 3rd, 2013

WSJ - May 3rd, 2013
Looks like the insiders have gamed it. Checkmate for us small fry. NASDAQ turns a blind eye. Hate to say this, but my sentiment has completely changed now.
Sentiment: Hold
Why has your sentiment changed? this investment has to do with how much money enzn can dish out to investors over time-- over the next 5 yrs, can enzn dish out at least 3.29 in dividends? I think they can get at least that. There seems to be little risk here. How much upside is debatable-- could be very little if enzn can't minimize expenses and keep generating consistent royalty revenue. But, you're not going to get crushed in this position (assuming pegintron doesn't get banned, or something drastic like that)
the ex-dividend date is may 3rd, since the date of record, per enzon's press release, is may 7th. I don't understand why there is any confusion here. ENZN can't just lie to us.
Stockprophet you seem to be missing the point, the date of record by itself does NOT set the ex-dividend date, IT in conjunction with the AMOUNT of the dividend determin the ex-div date, and if the AMOUNT of the dividend is 25% or more the the ex-div date is , well here, let me let you read it directly (according to FINRA):
Dividends Or Distributions
25 Percent Or Greater Than
Security Value
The second method, under
subparagraph (b)(2) of Rule 11140,
provides that for dividends or
distributions that are 25 percent or
greater of the value of the subject
security, the ex-date shall be the
first business day following the
payable date.
Hope the helps you understand/join the confusion.

This is a One Year Bible of the King James Version of my One Year Bible. The reason I call it a one year Bible is because it divides the Bible into 366 portions (leap years added) so a person can start reading this Bible from the beginning and spend just 15 minutes a day and can read the entire Bible in one year. This edition is optimized for Text-to-Speech which means I have taken out all of the chapter and verse references and also added at the beginning of each section "Daily Bible Reading for Month, day reference". I had to do a lot of research to find out good divisions for how many chapters to include for each day. Most days have 3 chapters so the day can be read, or have the Kindle read in 15 minutes. If you want to resolve this year to read through the Bible in a year this is the perfect vehicle to accomplish this goal and to finally keep a New Years Resolution.

Read an Excerpt
I recall one of my first conversations with Hillary Clinton, shortly after she became First Lady. As we discussed some of the individuals featured in my two-volume history, First Ladies, her reverence for her predecessors and her love of the White House were clear, as was her sense of responsibility for the house and her awareness of the role she was to play.
Many people know Mrs. Clinton for her groundbreaking contributions to the policy arena. Fewer know the mark she has made on the responsibilities of the First Lady, honoring the traditions begun by those before her while bringing new ideas and innovations to the position. Mrs. Clinton has a natural affinity and affection for many of her predecessors; Dolley Madison is a particular favorite, and to hear Mrs. Clinton detail aspects of the legendary hostess's legacy is to see evidence of how an earlier life can reach across the decades to inspire another. The First Lady's description of Dolley Madison could be used to describe Mrs. Clinton herself: "Not only a wonderful hostess but a very skilled diplomat with a tremendous political ear, who could bring people together, have them work together, and then send them out feeling that they were charged with a mission."
Anyone who has been to one of the hundreds of the Clintons' parties can see how seriously Mrs. Clinton takes her role as hostess. To see her circulate through the crowds, pointing out objects of interest, posing for endless snapshots, and putting a reassuring arm around a nervous visitor, is to realize that her love of the house is rivaled only by the joy she gets in sharing it with people from all walks of life. I recall seeing hertalking to a circle of guests at an evening celebrating the life of Thomas Jefferson and excitedly leading them to see the new red carpet she had finally managed to have installed in the regal hall between the State Dining Room and the East Room. Afterwards she implored everyone to examine the gold centerpiece that has been in the White House collection since it was bought by James Monroe, and, of course, urged them all to indulge in the trays of desserts on the long table.
Like other First Ladies, Mrs. Clinton has been responsible for overseeing the menu at the White House, and one of her first acts was to reinstate the tradition of serving the finest regional American food. Jefferson insisted on serving fresh seafood from the Chesapeake Bay and locally grown vegetables, while the Coolidges offered many of their native New England specialties to guests: brown bread, cheddar cheese, codfish, and maple cookies. At one State Dinner, Mamie Eisenhower had pomme de brune listed on formal menus for dessert, but it was still her favorite Apple Brown Betty from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. While the last several decades brought a decidedly European flavor to the White House table, Hillary Clinton decided it was time to bring in a top American-trained, American-born chef, change the table service from French to American, and use American-grown ingredients whenever possible. The results have been fine indeed.
The furnishings and decorations of the White House are the traditional purview of the First Lady. In this arena, Mrs. Clinton has been extraordinarily sensitive to preserving historical detail while modernizing rooms on the State Floor. Consider the Blue Room. In 1961 Mrs. Kennedy used original furniture purchased from France by the Monroes in her cream-and-blue refurbishment. The room, so well used during the next decade, became threadbare by 1972, and Pat Nixon undertook another refurbishing, changing the wall covering and the shade of blue of the draperies, but still maintaining the feel of the previous room. Twenty years later, it again required attention. When it was unveiled by Mrs. Clinton in 1995, the room was a rich sapphire blue that looked good when lighted for television, but still preserved the style and furniture of the Monroe era. Now the room as redone in 1972, 1961, or even 1917 might have been perfectly preserved for generations with glass or velvet ropes across the door, as in a museum, but this is the White House: Lively parties, Christmas receptions, solemn ceremonies, receiving lines, seated dinners, and photo sessions all take place in the Blue Room. It lives and thus it evolves. Mrs. Clinton understands this fine balance perfectly.
The use of the house as a national stage featuring the best contemporary entertainment also follows a White House custom: The Kennedys requested that the American Ballet Theater perform in the East Room; the Eisenhowers asked Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians to sing after a dinner; and Lyndon and Lady Bird Johnson had Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass perform for them in the 1960s. The Clintons have carried on this long-standing tradition, showcasing performers from Isaac Stern to Eric Clapton.
Of course, like other first families, the Clintons have also established new traditions. While it was the Benjamin Harrison family that brought the first Christmas tree to the White House, the Clintons have opened the holiday season with acknowledgment of both Jewish and Muslim holy times. The Tafts used the lawn for the first known performance of Shakespeare at the White House, and other families gave garden parties and State Dinners in the Rose Garden, but the Clintons have found even more creative uses for the lawn as a space for sculpture exhibits, large-scale State Dinners (held in an elegant pavilion specially constructed for the events), picnics and cookouts, and even a carnival. By using this large space for entertaining, the Clintons have enabled large numbers of guests to enjoy the White House inside and out.
It is in furthering this rich tradition of making the White House the people's house that the Clintons have had their greatest impact. What makes the White House so different from the homes and palaces of other world leaders is the life that "the people" -- the tourists, the dinner guests, the staff, and the families -- bring to its old walls. Were it not for the people who come to the White House, it would simply be a museum, or a beautiful private estate. What makes the White House so special, so distinctly American, is that everyone -- however different, from whatever political party, age, or station in life -- can visit.
Since the 19th century, tourists have come to marvel at the paintings of past Presidents, ask the staff what the family eats for dinner, watch the delivery wagons come and go -- and even snip a curtain tassel for a souvenir. Gates and doors were flung open to the masses at weekly band concerts on the lawn, at the annual Independence Day reception, and for the Egg Roll on Easter Monday, an event still open to the public today. Although security concerns and costs limited the number of "come one, come all" events as the population grew in the 20th century, the Clintons have worked to keep the doors of the people's house open to a great diversity of Americans. Almost every guest list compiled by Hillary Clinton has included those who never thought they might one day receive an invitation to the White House. At these events, one can always expect to meet remarkable people from all walks of life who came to the attention of the Clintons because of a touching letter they had written or important work they had done in their own communities.
The Clintons have also followed the tradition of using the latest technology to bring the White House to those who cannot visit in person. Rutherford and Lucy Hayes were the first to permit a reporter into the private quarters. The Harrisons first allowed the rooms to be photographed for reprinting in newspapers and books. Harry Truman hosted the first televised tour for the nation. And, in 1993 the Clintons permitted C-SPAN (the cable television station that broadcasts political and historical programming to millions of homes) to cover the large State Dinner they hosted in honor of President Nelson Mandela of South Africa, in order to provide a glimpse of the effort that goes into such an event. Along with White House Social Secretary Ann Stock, Mrs. Clinton guided viewers through the earlier planning stages, showing everything from choosing the menu to the music to the table decorations. She also provided commentary on the political impact of what seem like simply "social" functions. Similarly, the Clintons have made frequent use of satellites to bring events to viewers around the world, and did the first cybercast events, including White House conferences and lectures by prominent Americans, to make them accessible to viewers at their home computers.
An Invitation to the White House is in keeping with this spirit. This book makes the rooms come alive -- one can almost taste the food and hear the music. It is not only informative, but inspiring. My own lifelong interest in the White House was prompted by reading books on the subject. I imagined what the rooms looked like, and what it would be like to attend an event there. A first visit to the White House as a young tourist left me feeling extraordinarily privileged and only deepened my interest in the people's house, sending me back to my books for further study. An Invitation to the White House will do the same for generations to come.
The Clinton Blue Room will someday be refurbished. New portraits with new faces will be hung on the walls. Other families will come and go. Whatever the length of their stay, each will leave their own mark on the White House in the centuries to follow. The Clintons certainly have, and the nation can be grateful.

Awesome. I love watching at http://allsp.com!
I can't wait for this ep, especially since i am not a big fan of all these music games. I personally think if you are going to invest a couple hours into a 'guitar game' then you should really just try playing with an actual guitar. Not only is it more fun, but the possibilities are endless instead of 6 big buttons.
It seems like this is what South Park is going to make fun of, which I love.
One line cartman said in the preview 'Real guitars are for old people'... hahah
I really think that is what commercialism is trying to tell kids these days.
Don't learn how to play guitar b/c we can't make any money from you but, if you play this simple 'guitar game', we can charge you for more songs and future games etc...
It is kinda sad but funny at the same time...

Stampede of the Supermarket Slugs, written by Bill Doyle and illustrated by Scott Altman, is a terrific early reader book for boys. It's part of a series of Stepping Stones chapter books from Random House, and as you might expect from the title, it's a pretty funny and outrageous tale. The stars of the story are Henry and Keats, cousins who are enlisted by the mysterious Mr. Cigam ("magic" backwards) to rid the supermarket of giant, omnivorous, alien slugs who have somehow started eating everything in sight. If the slugs are not stopped, it could be curtains for the town and who knows what else. Not being trained exterminators at around 10 years of age, the two boys go through all kinds of mayhem trying to rid the store of the ginormous gastropods. Of course, hilarity ensues. Can they do it, and can they find the bait that will save the day?
This humorous and outrageous storyline is targeted to boys with a level of fantasy and silliness that is completely appropriate. Doyle writes clearly and engagingly with just about the right amount of attitude and suspense for the target age readers. For kids who love to read or boys who may be reluctant readers, this is a very good choice.
Stampede of the Supermarket Slugs is for ages 9 and up.
Additional Stepping Stones chapter books by Bill Doyle are available and sold separately.

Arum: Mayweather-Guerrero in Play, The Event Will Fail
By Ronnie Nathanielsz
Harvard law graduate and Top Rank promoter Bob Arum has described the judge's ruling, which allowed Floyd Mayweather Jr. to postpone serving his 90 day prison term from January 6 to June 1 to allow him to comply with a May 5th fight date as "the most bizarre thing I've ever heard."
Celebrities who gravitate towards Mayweather were in the courtroom when Justice of the Peace Melissa Saragosa granted the motion of Mayweather's lawyers to postpone his incarceration claiming the undefeated Mayweather had a May 5 contractual obligation for a fight against a still unnamed opponent which created further doubts about the soundness of the judge's decision.
Among those present were rap star Lil' Kim and R&B artist Ray J. Mayweather was in a holding area in the lobby of a building near the courthouse.
Judge Saragosa said she was swayed by lawyer Richard Wright's appeal to allow Mayweather to postpone his serving of sentence so he could begin training for a May 5 fight.
The lawyer emphasized that Mayweaher wasn't trying to avoid the sentence even as he cited the potential economic windfall from a fight that would attract hotel guests and boxing fans to Las Vegas for the fight. Wright estimated that Mayweather's last seven fights generated a combined $1 billion and projected the May 5 fight would bring in more than $100 million.
Prosecutor Liza Luzaich protested the judge's decision stating that Mayweatyher should serve his sentence "just like anyone else" but Judge Saragosa noted that while Mayweather had an obligation to the court he had other obligations based on which she granted the request.
In an overseas telephone conversation with BoxingScene.com/Manila Standard, Arum said Mayweather "is apparently going to fight Robert Guerrero. Can you believe that. They won't do any business at all."
Arum claimed that MGM Grand which Mayweather's camp had long announced as the venue for the planned May 5 fight even before he was sentenced to a prison term, was "bulls**t because MGM didn't want to give him the date until they found out what (Manny) Pacquiao was doing. Mayweather brings in no business."
While he is sticking to the four fighters he had mentioned as possible opponents for Pacquiao's next fight which is likely to take place in late May or June, Arum claimed that Mayweather had "no intention of fighting Pacquiao now and I don't blame them. You need time. It's sensible that Mayweather fights somebody like Guerrero which is an easy fight, he goes to jail in June, he'll be out at the end of July or the beginning of August and then we have plenty of time to do a Pacquiao fight in November."
Asked whether he is looking ahead at a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight in November, the world's top promoter replied, "Absolutely. If Manny is successful in his fight in June."
The four opponents from whom Pacquiao will choose a few days after meeting with Arum and Pacquiao's adviser Michael Koncz on Tuesday are WBA/IBF light welterweight champion Lamont Peterson, WBA champion Timothy Bradley, WBO super welterweight champion Miguel Cotto and WBA lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez.
Arum said he is "leaning to nobody" adding that he is "going to make Manny choose for himself after I lay everything out."
The judge's decision which stood in contrast to her tough talk when sentencing Mayweather and turning down a request for house arrest which was even supported by the girlfriend whom he beat up and the mother of his three children, Josie Harris, opened the way for a Mayweather fight in May but it won't be a megabuck fight with Pacquiao which the boxing world has long been looking forward to.
The 34 year old Mayweather had pleaded guilty last month to a reduced battery domestic violence charge and no contest to two harassment charges in a case involving an attack on his ex-girlfriend in September 2010 and was scheduled to begin serving a 90-day jail sentence today.
Lance Pugmire of the LA Times reported that Mayweather's adviser Leonard Ellerbe issued a statement following Judge Saragosa's ruling stating "We are pleased that the judge granted postponement of Floyd's surrender date so that he can fulfill his commitment to Las Vegas to deliver his promised mega-fight and the economic benefits it provides to the community."
Asked if that "mega-fight" meant a bout against Pacquiao, Ellerbe said, "We'll make an announcement about who we're going to fight next week. We just came out of the ... court hearing. Give us a chance to catch our breath."
In proposing a Pacquiao-Mayweather showdown in November, Arum had earlier indicated he wanted to look into the possibility of building a temporary arena that could seat up to 40,000 people because of the obvious demand from fight fans pointing out that a 16,000 seat venue like the MGM Grand would not suffice.
The promoter also mentioned the fact that a deep cut suffered by Pacquiao on his eye in his fight against Juan Manuel Marquez was still healing and he was not certain whether the "Fighter of the Decade will be ready to begin sparring by April which makes a late May or early June fight practical.
After November 12th, Pacquiao's business is going to take a major hit. After all, what's the sense of paying attention to Pacquiao when we already know his team wants to keep him far from Floyd. Bob Arum has built Manny…Comment by KingTito on 01-07-2012

Found a really nice intro to FlexBox CSS video series. Best part is that it's free. http://flexbox.io
mcrypt_encrypt(): Key of size 11 not supported by this algorithm. Only keys of sizes 16, 24 or 32 supported
So you just upgraded Laravel and got this error message when trying to view your project? Well it just so happens that its a simple fix. With the new version of Laravel 4.2.* they changed the default encryption type. This means your old key is no longer valid. What we need to do is generate a new key. In the current project directory just run:
php artisan key:generate
It will generate a new key for you and you should be set to go.
iOS8 Set Navigation Bar Colors
Just posting this here as more of a personal reference but, hopefully this will help someone else as well. Basically I was trying to set the title color, nav text colors and the background of the main navigation bar.
// This sets the background color of the navigation [[UINavigationBarappearance] setBarTintColor:[UIColorcolorWithRed:(32/255.f) green:(152/255.f) blue:(202/255.f) alpha:(1.0f)]]; // This sets the text color of the navigation links [[UINavigationBarappearance] setTintColor:[UIColorwhiteColor]]; // This sets the title color of the navigation bar [[UINavigationBarappearance] setTitleTextAttributes:@{NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColorwhiteColor]}];
Here is a quick screenshot of the navigation bar with the above set:
CAUTION: Provisional headers are shown, Chrome on OS X Maverick
I cam across this issue recently when working on a Angular JS app and trying to hit a locally running api.
I was accessing my Angular App at http://developer.domain.local which in turn was hitting a development version of my restful api at https://api.domain.local. This was giving me the "CAUTION: Provisional headers are shown" error when making requests to the API. To solve this I had to run Chrome with web security disabled.
To do this, go to terminal on OSX
open -a Google\ Chrome –args –disable-web-security
Thats it, this should allow you to develop locally. Just remember to completely close the browser once done and reopen when you're back to your regular web activities.
SVT Contour Rocker Panel Replacement
These are some pictures of the process I took when replacing the rocker panels on my 1999 SVT Contour.
Git error on 'git add' on OS X 10.8.1
So you get the following error:
error: insufficient permission for adding an object to repository database .git/objects
Something has happened to the .git directory within your repository and the database can not be written to. So to fix this do the following command inside your repo.
sudo chown -R username:staff .git/
Note: Change username to your OS X username.
Google Maps API v3 – Fit map bounds to all markers
This is a basic example of how to use google maps api v3 to fit a map's bounds to all of the markers on the map. It's almost an exact copy from Alexis Bezverkhyy's site. I basically put this here for my own use, but hopefully it helps you out.
// Lets create our map function initMap() { //... } // Setup markers function initMarkers() { //... } var map; var bound = new google.maps.LatLngBounds(); var markers = new Array(); // On dom ready, lets set things up $(document).ready(function() { initMap(); initMarkers(); // Lets loop through the markers and get it's position and extend the bounds of the map for(var i in markers) { bound.extend(markers[i].getPosition()); } // Now set the bounds for the map map.fitBounds(bound); });
Simple Engine
So one of my pet projects is Simple Engine. Its kind of a cross between wordpress and static html files. It allows you to do nice seo urls and manage a global template, so making changes is not a pain. Anyways check it out, let me know what you think. It's helped me with several sites big and small.
New site, new year.
Well its a start of a new year. What better way than start it off than a new design. I am slowly working on the design of the site as I have time. So keep checking back for more updates.
Posting JSON with jQuery and PHP
After looking around the net some, and having this issue before, I decided to put this up for anyone who might be having the same trouble as I once had. Posting JSON with PHP can be a bit tricky if it's your first time doing this.
So for starters, lets download some scripts we'll need to make this work.
- https://github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-js/blob/master/json2.js
- http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.6.4.min.js
This file will be used for taking a javascript object and converting it to a string.
This is my javascript library of choice. So for this example I will be using this.
Javascript Time!
So lets get our hands dirt with some javascript. Here is a simple AJAX post using javascript and using the JSON.stringify to convert our object to a string so we can post it. While I don't actually show it. Make sure to include the json2.js file and in this case, jQuery on the page.
// Declare a variable var jsonObj = {demo: 'this is just a simple json object'} // Lets convert our JSON object var postData = JSON.stringify(jsonObj); // Lets put our stringified json into a variable for posting var postArray = {json:postData}; $.ajax({ type: 'POST', url: "http://somedomain.local.com/phpfile.php", data: postArray, success: function(data){ // Do some action here with the data variable that contains the resulting message } });
PHP in The House
In our php file, we can process the post variable. First we check and see if we actually have post variable. Next, we need to strip the slashes out of the string which were put in for transport. Then we just run the json_decode php function. After that we can access the php object and use it however we like.
if(isset($_POST["json"])){ $json = stripslashes($_POST["json"]); $output = json_decode($json); // Now you can access your php object like so // $output[0]->variable-name }
This is a pretty basic and watered down example but hopefully it will help you.

Skip to comments.News from the Long War, Thread 4
Posted on 04/15/2007 6:02:06 PM PDT by Knitting A Conundrum
Thread 4
Since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, our nation has fought a global war against violent extremists who use terrorism as their weapon of choice, and who seek to destroy our free way of life. Our enemies seek weapons of mass destruction and, if they are successful, will likely attempt to use them in their conflict with free people everywhere. Currently, the struggle is centered in Iraq and Afghanistan, but we will need to be prepared and arranged to successfully defend our nation and its interests around the globe for years to come. DOD
Our enemies include all the Muslims who dream of knocking Western Civilization off its perch atop humanityâs dung heap. Islam is fractured into any number of sects, tribes and ethnic groups, but the dream of destroying us cuts across all the fault lines. Islamic terrorists are merely the tip of a very large spear.
J. Peter Mulhern, the American Thinker, September 18
The determination behind that fight is real, the hatred is real, and the excuses for doing this are very real in the minds of those who have decided to walk that path. We can respond in two ways: Try to ignore or negotiate with people who do not want to negotiate in good faith, because what they want is our destruction, or to stand up against the darkness of those who see all of us, our way of life, our culture and our aspirations as something worth eliminating.
Either: "And God willing, with the force of God behind it, we shall soon experience a world without the United States and Zionism," Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
Or: "With vigilance, determination, courage, we will defeat the enemies of freedom, and we will leave behind a more peaceful world for our children and our grandchildren." GW Bush.

Labor faction authorizes absence from no-confidence motion
Published: 05.07.07, 16:26 / Israel News
The Labor faction on Monday voted in favor of allowing its MKs to walk out from the Knesset plenum during tonight's vote on a no-confidence motion against the government.
Labor MKs voted against party leader Amir Peretz proposal that Labor's 18 MKs back the government in tonight's vote
Just a thought.....
With all this turmoil, some Hamas/AQ/Hezzy wiseguy could almost think that it would be a perfect time to get in some serious hits on Israel.
Only things working against that are that those groups have spent the bulk of their time lately hitting each other, Syria/Iran have reduced their profiles (which also may be the reason for the increase in intramural homicides) and I'm sure that the IDF and other "little friends in the area" are all spun up and ready to counter anything remotely sinister.
This is true...Israel may be bickering, but they are still watching...
Good morning, Knitting.
adnkronosinternational ^ | 7 May 2007 | AKI
Baghdad, 7 May (AKI) - Al Qaeda in Iraq is involved in developping new arms and using new techniques to carry out its terrorist attacks, according to sources within the Iraqi insurgency, quoted by the Egyptian Islamic press agency al-Naba. According to the agency's internet site, after creating new missiles able to strike US combat helicopters with greater precision, the al-Qaeda network is seeking new methods, different from the characteristic suicide attacks or car bombs.
Last week a cell of al-Qaeda active in Kurdistan reportedly tried for the first time to use a remote-controlled aircraft to carry out an attack, with the headquarters of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) in Suleimaniya the target.
The attack was however foiled. Kurdish sources say that the police had found out about the plan before it could be carried out. Despite this Iraqi security forces are said to be concerned by the technical progress made by the followers of al-Qaeda in Iraq in developing weapons and in their guerilla techniques.
During the first months of the year, the terrorist formation is reported to have downed 10 US helicopters in the space of a wek weeks. In parallel they developed chemical weapons and carried out at least three attacks in the area of Falluja, using chlorine gas.
The first known attempt to detonate a vehicle bomb with chlorine gas occurred in Ramadi on 28 January though the sixteen deaths were not believed caused by the chlorine.
The next chlorine gas attack was a suicide bomb in Ramadi on 19 February 19, while several days later, another bomber detonated a chlorine tanker truck in Taji, north of Baghdad, just a few days later.
American forces also found a large quantity of chlorine and other chemicals in Karma, a location near Falluja.

Blast cuts Russia-EU gas pipeline
Posted on 05/07/2007 10:25:43 AM CDT by nypokerface
KIEV (AFP) - An explosion Monday in Ukraine knocked out of service one of the main pipelines exporting Russian natural gas to the European Union, the Ukrainian emergency situations ministry told AFP.
A "large explosion" cut the pipeline, which carries Siberian gas through Ukraine to Germany and other EU clients, ministry spokeswoman Viktoria Ruban said.
The blast occurred at about 1125 GMT on a section near the Ukrainian capital Kiev, she said.
A 30-metre (32-feet) length of pipeline was torn off, with debris hurled 150 metres away.
There was no immediate information regarding the effect of the incident on deliveries to the European Union, the biggest foreign gas market for Russia, the world's leading natural gas producer.
My tinfoil side wonders if this just might be self-inflicted??

Ukraine gas pipeline hit by blast
A blast has destroyed a section of one of the main gas pipelines in Ukraine exporting Russian gas to Europe, Ukraine's emergencies ministry says.
It says about 30m (98ft) of the Urenhoi-Pomary-Uzhhorod pipeline was damaged by the explosion.
Russia's state gas state monopoly Gazprom, which controls the export of all Russian gas, said the blast caused no disruptions in supplies to Europe.
No-one was injured in the explosion, officials in Ukraine said.
The blast happened at 1420 (1120 GMT) near the village of Luka in the Kiev region, Ukraine's emergencies ministry spokesman Ihor Kroll told the BBC.
Mr Kroll said a bypass system was activated, rerouting the flow of gas to Europe.
He said experts were at the site, trying to determine the cause of the blast.
The Urenhoi-Pomary-Uzhhorod is one of three main lines in Ukraine that carry gas to the EU - the biggest gas market for Russia.
Ukraine is a major transit point for Russian gas deliveries to Europe.

I am guessing that this is not self-inflicted. However, with the political crisis in Ukraine right now it's hard to tell. The Estonians are refusing to cooperate with Moscow to pump oil/NG to Germany and the Russians are working with Slovakia now to try to run NG through them.
Wouldn't surprise me if the Party of Regions were somehow invloved but I am on a conspiracy kick right now it seems. LOL!
Kadima minister reportedly tells Beilin that Olmert poses 'national threat'
Published: 05.07.07, 18:36 / Israel News
Meretz leader MK Yossi Beilin said Monday that a Kadima minister recently told him that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert posed "a national threat to Israel."
"As he (Olmert) is likely to make a hasty political move, he is likely to lead Israel to an unnecessary war," Beilin quoted the Kadima minister as telling him. (Amnon Meranda)
Ukraine builds up gas transit to Europe via alternative routes.
07.05.2007, 20.14
KIEV, May 7 (Itar-Tass) — Ukraine has increased gas transit via the Progress and Soyuz gas carriers following Mondays blast on the Urengoi-Pomary-Uzhgorod pipeline, the Fuel and Energy Ministrys press-secretary, Konstantin Borodin told Itar-Tass.
The high maneuverability of the Ukrainian gas transportation system has compensated for the temporary idleness of the Urengoi-Pomary-Uzhgorod line. Transit traffic through the other gas carriers, Progress and Soyuz first and foremost, was increased. Certain amounts of gas were borrowed from underground gas holders, Borodin said.
The undersupply of gas that may have been caused by the pipeline rupture will be compensated for with greater deliveries by alternative routes. Ukraine has coped with all of its transit commitments. Its gas pipeline system is one of the most diversified in the world, the Ukrainian Fuel and Energy Ministrys press-secretary said.

I saw this earlier and I have to agree. The longer Olmerde is in leadership the more danger Israel is in. It seems that the mud-slinging increases daily. Howdy!

Why the disabled do Taliban's deadly work
The Globe and Mail ^ | 05.07.2007 | SONYA FATAH
KABUL — The suicide bombing at a Kabul Internet café drew attention for a number of reasons: It was one of the first in the Afghan capital after the fall of the Taliban; it struck a spot popular with foreigners; and a UN worker was among those who died along with the attacker, Qari Samiullah.
But a little-known fact about that 2005 blast offers a clue into the workings of the insurgents who recruit suicide bombers, and what, apart from religious propaganda, has motivated about 200 men to blow themselves up: In addition to being a deeply religious man, Mr. Samiullah was disabled.
His disability didn't come as a surprise. As the insurgency in Afghanistan gathers urgency, the Taliban and other forces are recruiting marginalized and vulnerable groups to carry out suicide attacks while men from their own ranks keep up the ground offensive.
The pool of the disenchanted and hopeless is large in Afghanistan — people left on the fringes by their economic, physical or mental circumstances — and there are few services to rehabilitate them after three decades of war.
"Almost 90 per cent of [suicide bombers] are people with some form of disability," forensic expert Yusuf Yadgari said.

Afternoon Knitting!
Afternoon! How are ya!
Pretty good. No major gripes :) Glad to hear your getting rested. I've been trying to do the same.
Must have worked. Feel much better.
Is Olmert running in circles? :)
I don't know.
There's multiple things going on:
1) trying to keep Netenyahu from being the next PM.
2) rationally realizing that having the government collapse will cause headaches for all involved.
3) infighting between the left and right, religious (and their reluctance to be relocated out of areas destined to become palestinian territory) and secular, peaceniks and warbirds.
So far, Olmert has been able to ride the whirlpool. But he might fall yet. There are a lot of people who want to pull him off the board he's riding....
This is wild:
02:51 Kadima to ask Likud to join coalition if Labor Party pulls out (Haaretz)
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has cancelled a planned Middle East trip due to the unstable political situation in Israel, the Foreign Ministry said late Monday evening.
Tension has risen between government officials following the release of the Winograd's interim report into the Second Lebanon War. Many government officials have called on Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to step down.
On Thursday, 150,000 people participated in a mass demonstration at Tel Aviv's Rabin Square in an attempt to get Olmert and his government to resign.
"US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has cancelled a planned Middle East trip due to the unstable political situation in Israel, the Foreign Ministry said late Monday evening."
Now that's surprising to me. DOS misread the pulse on the situtation I wonder...
"So far, Olmert has been able to ride the whirlpool. But he might fall yet. There are a lot of people who want to pull him off the board hes riding...."
I remember during the war, there were quite a few people wanting him ousted. Much noise at the time.
Lots of noise, but not enough oomph to push him off!
Who knows what type of momentum may still be gained. As someone who's in keeping with his word, I think he should resign for simple fact that he said he would if the report portrayed him negatively. But, Politicians aren't always held accountable for what they say. I see that seems to be a global political fact.
There are some charges hanging over his head, too...if he's charged, he may finally be forced out.
Always some fuel to add to the fire somewhere, it seems...

Here's a little example of something that's been mentioned on this thread. Note the KS Governor is using the Blame Bush tactic, but remember also that all 50 governors opposed the federalizing of the National Guard in effect. Ammunition given to the Dems? Could have been...something to be prepared for more of the same I'd think.
Perhaps a diplomatic gesture of support for Israel?
I don't think so. When you say for Israel, are you meaning as a country or Olmert?
P.S. What the hell are you do up at this hour! LMAO!
I meant Israel the country. Just got up - normal time for work.
Need more coffee -
Ok, now that I understand the context, I'd say I don't think so. That's a default and known position, and wouldn't require any actions to emphasize the point. Usually DOS wants to be in the middle of problem solving situations so they can do their best to screw the whole thing up (lol) semi-sarc. I think their honestly not sure how it's going to turn out over there. That's my read.
Sorry to bail. If I hit the bed now, I can get up at a decent hour in the am. I re'd to you btw. We'll see what tomorrow brings!
This is tomorrow my friend - get some rest nighters.
Good morning Workerbee —
Not enough caffiene in my system to try to be coherent (welllll...) so just clocking in, for now.....
Looks like I just missed Jedward....
Good morning Sir. Didn't miss him by much.

North Korean delegation arrives in Tehran (led by deputy foreign minister of NK)
Posted on 05/08/2007 5:24:02 AM CDT by TigerLikesRooster
North Korean delegation arrives in Tehran Tehran, May 7, IRNA
North Korea-Iran-Delegation
North Korean Deputy Foreign Minister in Asia and Oceania Affairs Kim Yong-il at the head of a delegation arrived in Tehran on Monday to exchange views with Iranian officials concerning bilateral and international issues.
According to Foreign Ministry Media Department report, the first round of talks was held here Monday afternoon between North Korean official and his Iranian counterpart Mehdi Safari.
But then again, they are both crazy enough.
Exchanging view or selling weapons grade uranium?
" There will be very little the two egomaniacs will be in agreement on. "
I know that I hold the minority (of one, seemingly) opinion here — but I'm still seeing the "monster under the bed"..
For all their differences, Iran, NK, and Venezuela/Cuba have one thing in commom — they're all Russian client-states, to one extent or other.
(I know that 'conventional wisdom' says that NK is a Chinese client — but the Kim clan has historically leaned more towards Russia, while holding China at arm's length.)

2014 draft picks: 1st round (9), 2(41), 3(73), 4(109), 5(149), 7(224)
The Bills went 6-10 in their first season under coach Doug Marrone. They made some bold moves over the past year, none bigger than drafting E.J. Manuel with their first pick last April. They just need to keep him healthy to see what they really have in this signal caller. Is he really a franchise guy or the same inconsistent player that he was at Florida State?
Buffalo was also pretty active in free agency, landing several established veterans like wide receiver Mike Williams and linebackers Keith Rivers and Brandon Spikes.
1. Offensive Line
The Bills put on a band aid here and signed Chris Williams. They are still looking for the answer to the departure of Andy Levitre last off-season? If not, there are some good guards that can be had in rounds two and three. Don't be surprised if the Bills go offensive tackle with their first round pick.
2. Wide Receiver
Marrone wants to be the big play Bills. They drafted well here last year and traded for Mike Williams. Still, they will likely add another wide receiver. Will they do it with their first pick or wait until day two?
3. Tight End
There are plenty of arm chair GMs that are mocking tight end Eric Ebron to Buffalo with their first pick. I don't see that happening at No. 9. Maybe they move back like last season or perhaps they wait and grab one later.
4. Defensive End
This is one of the areas the Bills didn't address whatsoever in free agency. They will sprint to the podium if Khalil Mack is sitting there when they are up at No. 9. That scenario is unlikely. Still, look for Buffalo to address this need at some point in the mid-rounds.
5. Running Back
Just remember that C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson are both in their final year of their respective contracts.

And second, for those of you that play The Lord of the Rings, after a long grueling journey, several of Middle-earth's greatest heroes make their way to Dol Amroth—only to find the city threatened by a Corsair fleet! The penultimate chapter in the Dream-chaser Cycle for The Lord of the Rings, A Storm on Cobas Haven introduces a nautical battle like no other, along with a new Tactics hero, and thirty player cards (three copies each of ten different cards) that reinforce the cycle's focus on powerful allies and cards with secondary effects.

text: We hope that your summer 2016 is off to a good and relaxing start. For us, this is our downtime, also. With no social events on calendar, we can spend some much needed time with our families and rest up before the Four Town Fair. Hopefully, you find the time to enjoy the weather that is associated with the season. This time of year is great for outdoor activities such as hiking, pickup basketball or volleyball, or hanging out in the pool. But please remember that with these fun activities, and the heat, comes the need to take in extra refreshments (water, juices, etc). Even if you feel close to, or, good, your body is actually probably in need of fluids that are vital to its upkeep. We hope you enjoy the summer, but also would like you to be aware of the potential danger if you don't properly hydrate.
