Sep 19, 2012This game is beyond AWESOME!
The best looking platform shooter in iOS. Feels more powerful with the EPIC knife combo attack combined with blood seeking weapons with very responsive controls. Love the way the game takes to the toughest enemies through beautiful animations and level.
My Rating: 10/10
Sep 25, 2012If you are going to make a platform on iOS or else where this has set a new bar of expectations. Absolute perfection in all aspects of the game. Doesn't rely even a little on current iOS game design tactics like grinding etc. SNES platforming for the modern days.
Awards & Rankings
Oct 5, 2012Violent and entertaining in equal measure, Apocalypse Max is a fitting homage to Metal Slug, and a great way to waste a few hours.
Sep 26, 2012The control issues mentioned above, while frustrating, don't detract greatly from the rest of the game. Apocalypse Max is still a great hybrid of platforming and shoot-em-up elements.
Sep 25, 2012Apocalypse Max breathes new life into the zombie killing genre, and does it with a sick amount of flair and gusto.

There's an old saying, actually from the Bible, that says "Pride goes before a fall."
Unfortunately, I experienced that old saying a couple weeks ago.
I like to think of myself as a pretty good grandma. I'm conscientious, and I follow the parents' guidelines and rules when I'm playing with their kids. I love my grandchildren freely and deeply. I correct them, if needed, very lightly.
There's not much I wouldn't do for my daughters, sons-in-law and my grandchildren. But that was before May 22.
Since that day, I have drawn the line in the sand when it comes to supervising haircuts for my granddaughters.
I was in Salt Lake City on May 22 to visit our middle daughter Clarissa, her husband Ryan, and their two daughters, Brynnan, 5, and Brooklyn, 1. During the past few years, I have made this trip several times and have always come away, as far as I know, with high praises from my daughter and son-in-law for my grandma skills.
But that was before May 22.
On that day, I was helping to babysit Brynnan and Brooklyn while their folks took a short trip for their anniversary. Clarissa had left plenty of written instructions, and we had them down pat. We knew what foods they could and could not eat, what nap time and bed times were, what kinds of outings they liked.
The problem came when Clarissa decided it would be good for me, the trustworthy grandma, to take Brynnan for a hair trim on the day before she would "graduate" from preschool. I didn't flinch much, even though I knew haircuts can sometimes be tricky things.
Clarissa's hair instructions were short and sweet. She wanted Brynnan's haircut to her shoulders. We would go to the same beautician who had trimmed Brynnan's hair before, so Brynnan was familiar with her.
But the next time I take Brynnan or any other grandchild for a haircut, if there is a next time (which is very unlikely), I will ask the parents to draw a picture of their definition of "shoulder."
I have learned, since May 22, that some people define the shoulder based on where the lowest part of the shoulder reaches the upper arm. Other people define shoulder as where the lower neck touches the next part of the body.
Brynnan's beautician obviously follows the "lower neck" definition of shoulder. My daughter and son-in-law seem to prefer the "upper arm" definition of shoulder.
At the moment when the beautician brought her scissors out, I got a text from Clarissa. "Please make sure the beautician doesn't cut Brynnan's hair too short, keep it a little lower than the shoulder."
I glanced up from my phone and watched in slow motion as the scissors cut through Brynnan's hair, more in line with the lower neck guideline.
I honestly didn't know what to do. I thought about having the beautician leave the rest of Brynnan's hair long, but I knew that wouldn't work. I thought about totally blaming the beautician for blatantly disobeying my command, but obviously she had cut it just right according to her definition of "shoulder."
In my mind, I envisioned all my grandma medals falling to the floor with Brynnan's hair.
But fortunately for me, Brynnan loved her new haircut, and her parents have adjusted quite nicely. But it was a traumatic experience, more for me than anyone else.
When I think back to that day, I remain humbled, even a little mortified, by my lack of grandparenting skills.
Fortunately, the rest of my babysitting time went fine, other than a little incident involving Brooklyn's head and the sidewalk. But I decided the parents didn't need to know about that little scrape, since no stitches were needed.
Grandparenting is definitely harder than I thought.

SUGAR LAND, Texas - Four people were hurt, including two children, after a violent collision in Sugar Land.
The wreck happened around 1 a.m. Friday on Highway 59 at the Grand Parkway. The wreck shut down the intersection as investigators collected evidence and worked to figure out exactly what happened. The intersection has since been reopened.
Investigators said the collision between a truck and a Toyota Prius happened after one of the drivers ran a red light.
Paramedics rushed the two adults in the Prius to Memorial Hermann Hospital with broken legs. The two children inside the Prius suffered minor injuries. Officials said the driver of the truck was not hurt.

Columbia Marketing International will expand its organic apple program in response to strong consumer demand.
Wenatchee, Wash.-based CMI plans to increase production of its Daisy Girl Organics-branded apples this fall, Mark Hambelton, the company's organic sales manager, said in a news release.
From Sept. 1 to Feb. 22, U.S. organic apple sales grew 20% over the same period the year before, and volumes were up by 22%, according to Nielsen Perishables Group data cited by CMI.
"With the success retail supermarkets are having this year with branded organic apples, we think this will really set the stage for strong growth next season," Hambelton said in the release. " We're already getting inquiries from retailers asking about Daisy Girl Organics for next season. There is more space allotted at retail, more products on the shelf consistently and supermarkets are really developing a strong base of consistent organic shoppers."
Category diversity has benefited the organic apple category, Hambelton said. Not long ago, one or two organic options were common at retail. Now, Hambelton said, many stores have six or more variety and package options regularly.
CMI has enjoyed success with its Daisy Girl 2-pound gala pouch bag, which it introduced in the fall.

JESSE GARCIA | Stonewall Democrats of Dallas
Expired members of Stonewall Democrats of Dallas and LGBT community members interested in joining the organization need to renew or join by Thursday, Feb. 17, in order to participate in this year's endorsement screening for municipal elections.
Hotly contested races for Dallas mayor and heavily LGBT city council districts 3 and 14 have drawn multiple candidates. Each race will be screened from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on March 19 in the Rainbow Room at Resource Center Dallas, 2701 Reagan St. Participants voting on recommendations for endorsements must be current with Stonewall membership dues as of Thursday, Feb. 17, per the group's bylaws.
New or returning members can visit StonewallDemocratsofDallas.org/membership before Friday and sign up for a $35 annual membership. Or you can mail your $35 membership check made out to "Stonewall Democrats of Dallas," along with your name, address and telephone number, to Stonewall Democrats of Dallas, PO Box 192305, Dallas, TX 75219 — but it must be postmarked by Feb. 17.
Unlike even-year elections when Stonewall endorses county, state and federal candidates in the spring and members campaign for them throughout the summer and fall, odd-year city elections have an abbreviated campaign schedule (lasting less than four months). The Stonewall board of directors saw a need for recommendations to be made within days of the filing deadline and approved quickly by the general membership in order to maximize LGBT support for a candidate.
"We realize that the LGBT vote is critical in city elections that have historically attracted less than 30 percent of registered voters," said Stonewall President Omar Narvaez. "Every vote will matter. Candidates know that our gayborhood precincts always turnout higher than the county average. If we turn out our LGBT voters like we did in 2008 and 2010, progressive candidates who are pro-equality will get elected."

This week was Mardi Gras, and thousands of bourbon-imbued revelers paraded the streets of New Orleans, tossing beads about and scarfing King cake. For many, it's a time to let it all hang out (not just figuratively) and party recklessly before Lent when they choose to give up decadence for 40 days.
But maybe you're someone who doesn't want to give up the allure of all that Mardi Gras has to offer. Maybe you want to experience the thrill of a Bourbon Street bash every day. You are in luck. Tune in to Brunch @ Bobby's at 9:30pm ET to watch Bobby Flay pay tribute to America's tastiest and most boisterous block with a brunch tribute to Bourbon Street. His menu includes crispy fried green tomatoes with shrimp remoulade, french toast topped with bananas foster and an icy cold coffee milk punch. You'll confess it's pretty delicious.

Main Street has been the hub of local businesses since the inception of the City of La Grange in 1827, and according to the vendors that has not changed in recent years. What has changed recently, though, is the name of the business in front of each store location.
Over the last few months, Main Street has seen many shifts in store locations, but according to Nancy Griffin, Executive Director at Discover Downtown La Grange, that fact isn't out of the ordinary.
Despite receiving approval more than nine months ago, Oldham County residents will have to wait another year before Walmart rolls back into Crestwood.
The retail company received final approval for a zoning change and development plans on a new 158,538 square foot Supercenter on April 16 last year. And it bought the new store's land, located at 6701 Veterans Memorial Parkway, for $4.1 million in August.
Ten local residents, five men and five women, will be competing for the title of "Prospect Star 2015" on Feb. 21 at the Mellwood Arts Center. "Dancing With Prospect Stars & Taste of Prospect" is an exciting fundraiser, hosted by the Prospect Area Chamber of Commerce. The event, in its second year, will benefit the chamber and the 10 individual charities the contestants have chosen. Before the big night, the stars will be accepting donations on behalf of their chosen charities. Each dollar donated in their name will count as a vote.
The WOOFery has spent nearly three years on Main Street in La Grange, but recently it became so popular it outgrew its space.
When owner Tanya Turner added the grooming salon to her business in 2013, it quickly became apparent that parking was a serious issue for her clients — both two-legged and four-legged.
"My heart was attached to Main Street, so it took me about eight months to find the exact, right location that would suit our needs, as well as the needs and comfort of our customers," Turner said.
With snow flurries fluttering around her, temperatures around freezing and 10 minutes left to go, La Grange resident Patricia Stark was beyond excited.
"This is Christmas to me, it's like Christmas morning," Stark said.
The cause of Stark's excitement was the grand opening of a Dollar Tree in the Oldham Plaza complex, an opening that was delayed two years due to problems with the complex's landlord, Icon-Oldham Development, an offshoot of Icon Properties in Louisville.
Many communities have seen a spike in the craft beer market over the last few years and now La Grange will be part of the Beer Lovers Club with a new business coming to its historic district.
Tom and Linda Clemons have been in the alcohol industry for many decades and now have expanded their repertoire with the Main Street Bourbon and Ale House opening later this month in La Grange.
For the event on Saturday, Feb. 7:
Washington Street will be partially closed from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. The closure will begin at the CityPlace crosswalk just west of Doty Lane and run down to the stop sign at Second Street.
For the event on Saturday, Feb. 28:
"Washington Street will be partially closed from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. The closure will begin at the CityPlace crosswalk just west of Doty Lane and run down to the stop sign at Second Street."

A local car dealership is cruising into 2015 by selling the first truck in what it calls the "wave of the future."
Tri-County Ford, located off Exit 17 in Buckner, recently sold a 2015 Ford F-150 to Oldham County resident Frank Durham. And while truck sales aren't uncommon at Tri-County, the new F-150 is. According to Ford Motor Company, the truck is the first to use military grade aluminum, not steel, in its production.
A discussion about the upcoming session of the General Assembly, hosted by the Oldham County Chamber, went from a conversation of issues like right to work to a full-blown political update.
Panelists at the forum included Joe Gerth of the Courier-Journal, Greg Brotzge, a lobbyist, and State Rep. David Osborne, a Republican from Prospect.
"Kentucky government has not been a proactive force for businesses in history," Osborne said. "I think that's why we continue to be at the bottom of the rankings in business."

A PETITION against York being only area in the UK not to fund fertility treatment has been signed by nearly 800 people.
Today a petition containing 786 names was sent to the Vale of York CCG in protest of its U-turn on offering one cycle of IVF to couples.
Despite announcing it would provide a single cycle of the fertility treatment IVF, the Vale of York Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) backtracked on the decision on a 5-4 vote, deciding to delay plans because it cannot afford the service.
The group York Fertility Network launched a petition against the "postcode lottery" - calling for York to bring its policy in line with the rest of the UK.
Karen Boardman, IVF campaigner, said: "This petition demonstrates how this decision has angered and hurt so may people in York. It is often not easy for people to talk about infertility or trying to conceive but through this people have been able to voice their pain and anxiety over the unfair postcode lottery that York people have to face."
As a result of the petition, the York Fertility Network has seen a marked increase in the number of people accessing the support network and sending messages of support.
"It has truly touched people's hearts", Mrs Boardman said, "We have been overwhelmed by the huge number of signatures in such a short space of time. Hopefully this will send the message to the CCG that they cannot treat people in York so unfairly and that they need to re-look at their figures. If every other health authority in the UK can offer IVF why can't York?"
A spokesman for Vale of York CCG has said: "The Governing Body's recent decision to delay the commissioning of IVF was due to the current financial pressure facing the organisation. The cost pressure for this could be as much as £2 million, taking into account the four-year freeze on funding.
"The CCG hopes that the non-commissioning of IVF will be a temporary position, recognising the disappointment of this decision for many couples affected with sub-fertility. The aspiration to meet National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) criteria and to commission IVF services for couples in the Vale of York still remains."
-Y ork Fertility Network meets on the first Monday of the month at El Piano, Grape Lane from 7-9pm. You can contact the group at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone/text 07960 801786.

>Racing>Question for HS cross country experienced, athletes or coaches
Boss of the Mangoes
what if she's a goalie?
what if she's a goalie?
Less game time running than everyone else. But running in practice. I doubt her coach leaves her on the bench when everyone else is running drills.
"...You have to have faith, to know that you can do what you want to do." -Joseph Nzau
The subject of the original post was 3rd place individual in her first xc race ever. 39 teams. Beaten by two seniors who are two of the top high school runners in FL.
Wow. That's incredible. We'll have to watch for her name over the next 4 years!
- Joe
We are fragile creatures on collision with our judgment day.
Old , Ugly and slow
Does she like running.
I know a girl who got 2nd her cc race but quit after that because she didn't like it.
At my kids school a few girls would do soccer and cc every fall.
Soccer is the bigger sport so they would practice it more.
I have seen a lot of girls quit in the 11th or 12th even one who was one
of the best runners in the state.
first race sept 1977 last race sept 2007
2014goals 1300 miles , 190 pounds , deadlift 400 touch my toes
I have seen a lot of girls quit in the 11th or 12th even one who was one
of the best runners in the state.
Happens a lot. A childhood friend of mine was 3rd in the state as a freshman and won the XC and track 2-mile (yes I'm that old) state championships as a sophomore, but then quit because she didn't like it.
Saw a thing some years ago that most high school state cross-country championships are won by freshman and sophomores. That's mostly about physical changes. A lot of girls slow down after their bodies become more womanly. They get frustrated and frequently injured. A friend/colleague of mine backs this up. His daughter won everything in high school, is now a college D1 all-american, and is thriving even though she's not built like Tegla Laroupe. But he says it was totally true that in high school some freshman waif would show up and start winning everything right away while dedicated, hard-training older girls would get slower as they aged.
So if they like running, go with it. Enjoy it. Who knows, maybe they'll love it and continue to get better and better. But leave room for desire and nature to make some peaks and valleys in the running adventure.

A LAWYER who failed to report money laundering suspicions over his client's sale of a £105,000 home in Brierfield can keep on practising law.
Andrew Tidd, 52, was convicted of turning a blind eye to a property deal involving his client, Liverpool criminal Nevzat Kocabey and East Lancashire fraudster Mohammed Khatana in August 2007.
Kocabey had paid the deposits on the Hawkswood Gardens property, and another in the Toxteth area of Liverpool, using 'dirty money' and he was later jailed for two years.
Khatana is serving an eight-and-a-half year prison term for masterminding a bogus consultancy firm specialising in Proceeds of Crime Act cases.
Tidd, of Warrington, was given a four-month suspended prison sentence for five offences of failing to report money laundering suspicions involving Kocabey in December 2012.
But the 53-year-old solicitor was able to successfully argue before the Solicitor's Disciplinary Tribunal (SDT) that he should be allowed to remain in the profession.
The SDT was told that when Tidd was dealt with at Burnley Crown Court, sentencing judge Andrew Woolman said he believed the investigation and suspended prison sentence were enough punishment for the lawyer.
The tribunal also heard Tidd had been made bankrupt when his firm, Yaffe Jackson Ostrin, had ceased trading in May 2012 over an unrelated matter.
He also told the SDT he had accepted an explanation from Kocabey's wife that he was in custody for financial matters rather than drugs offences.
An allegation that Tidd failed to uphold the rule of law and the proper administration of justice was found proven by the SDT fitness to practise panel.
But chairman Jane Martineau said: "The degree of personal culpability on the part of the respondent in this particular case was minimal."

Munduruku Indians gather in front of the Planalto Palace in Brasilia, Brazil. Five indigenous tribes are calling for legislation giving them consultation rights prior to any official decision regarding the construction of the Belo Monte dam that would affect them. The dam, which is being built at a cost of $13bn, is expected to flood an area of 500sq km along the Xingu River, displacing 16,000 people, according to the government. Some non-governmental organisations have estimated that about 40,000 people would be displaced by the huge project. Indigenous groups say the dam will harm their way of life, while environmentalists warn of deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions and irreparable damage to the ecosystem

Hello there,
I'm new in these forums because I need advice for a new web project I'm working on.
I know this might sound insane, but what I want to do is developing an online community with user submitted how to's, message boards, member profiles, private messaging, and a lot more features. I don't want to get too much into detail about functions of the service, but I'm pretty sure there is no CMS out there that might fit my needs, because I want to be able to extend the features over time and want it to be fully customizable. Now as I said before, I know it might sound insane to build something like this from scratch, but on the other hand, it (obviously) can be done. I'd say I'm really good in HTML/CSS, I'm decent in JavaScript, I get alot done with PHP and so far I've used WordPress for most of my web projects, and I always got it to 100% fit my needs. In this case, I just think it's easier to develop both frontend and backend from scratch.
So what I'm looking for is advice on where to start, how to dig deeper into the right technologies, whether or not I should rely on a specific framework, how to not just get the site working but also be secure (we're dealing with private information, right?), and so on.
Any help is more than appreciated!
This looks interesting, but I guess such questions should go into General Web Development & Application Design Issues subforum?
I never developed a forum/online-community type software, but I do have member profiles and private messages feature in my browser-game application. I believe you should start by designing the architecture of your software, usually a proper interface design takes longer than writing the actual PHP implementation code. In a multi-layered system, you need to properly separate your application into appropriate layers like Domain layer, Application Layer and Presentation Layer, while make sure not to mix code from one layer to another. Using frameworks will make it easier for you(it already does separation of concerns behind the scenes), but on the other hand you lose some flexibility/controllability of your web application.
In the meantime, think about what features you plan to implement for your project and how complex you need them to be. I am assuming yours is not an one-and-done application so you will continue to work on new features after its initial deployment. In this case, always design with future insights, try to decouple your classes from each other as much as you can so they can be easily maintained and extended in future. Security is another important thing to think about, for my own application I use a combination of Username, Password(original), Salt and Pepper with sha512 to create a highly complex hash, but there are other issues to worry about such as SQL injection and XSS attack. You probably want to read some online articles to see each security risk/attack possible for PHP application, a rule of thumb is never to trust user input data.
After the initial planning stage, you will start by designing the database structure/layout(unless you dont use persistent storage, its will be hard to believe). Your database tables usually map directly to your model classes(assuming you know what Model mean from MVC), so they are somewhat coupled to each other. A mistake made at the database design level will be difficult to fix in later application code implementation stage, so be extra careful here. When you have a database structure completed, write the corresponding domain models and fill in your business logic. It may not be easy to figure them out all at once, but development process is iterative so you can always get back to your business layer and make some changes later after you are more familiar with the needs for your clients. Note your database scheme and domain models are not application-specific, try to design them in a way that they can be easily ported from one application to another.
The very last step should be writing the application code and finishing off your presentation layer, these are application-specific and tied to the very forum/online-community app you are working on. If the business layer does not provide functionality needed by your application/presentation layer, you may now go back to the domain layer and add more logic to it. Lets say you have a Registration system, you will need the database for users to exist first, and then a domain model for registered users to work, before even starting to worry about the application code for user registration. Its not a good idea to reverse the order(unless you are doing big refactoring of a procedural legacy code trying to convert it into OO architecture, but this will be a different topic).
Once the Registration/Authentification system works, you will be able to design a User Profile system next. There are again some other design decisions you have to make, you probably will need to persist the user profile data so create another database table for user profile if you havent done that yet. It will map to another domain model for user profile, which depends on the user domain model itself(use composition to associate a user with his/her profile). At last, you can work on the application code and the actual presentation/HTML design for your User Profile page. To add other features to your application, repeat the same process, always design at database/domain level first and then worry about the application code, everything has to be done in a logical order.
Thanks for taking the time to give such deep insightful thoughts, I guess I understand most of what you mean, but this is really next level sh - uhm - stuff for me, so there's a lot of catching up for me to do. I'd love to get someone involved who's already experienced with this who I can sit together and talk through with, but I either know one nor do I have the money to hire somebody. But I always just tried to find my own ways to achieve whatever I want to, so I'm confident with a lot of learning and taking time and investing of blood, sweat and tears I am able to make it, and maybe I am able to find somebody who helps along the way.
Just to avoid misunderstandings, what exactly do you mean by Domain Layer, Application Layer and Presentation Layer? I guess Presentation Layer is pretty obvious, but what about the other two?
Thats a good question. Its not that easy to distinguish Domain layer from Application Layer, a rule of thumb is that the latter is application-specific(tied to the very application you are currently developing) while the latter is more generic. Lets say you have an ItemShop system, one application may have a standard official itemshop in which you buy from the site, while another application will probably be more like an auction/bid website that you buy from another user, similar to eBay. There's a chance that your site will have both of them, and that will be another application(or a combo application). At this point, it will be necessary to distinguish which methods/logic should go into Domain layer and what else belong to the application layer. For instance, the items are all purchasable, so behaviors such as acquiring the item's price, and checking whether the customer can afford his/her invoice should belong to the domain layer. Other behaviors such as placing a bid for an item should go into application layer, as the capability of bidding for items is specific to auction itemshop system. Again, the domain/business layer contains more reusable objects and methods that can be ported from one application to another, while application layer contains objects and behaviors that are strongly tied to the very application you are currently developing. You can always ask a question here on SitePoint whether a behavior should belong to domain or application layer, I am sure expert coders will love to engage in this kind of discussion and help you figure out the best answer(after all, the forum needs more users asking intermediate to advanced programming/design questions than mysql not loading data type of newbie topics).
Yeah I guess the newbie "Why doesn't this and that work" kinda questions will follow later on For now I just need a heads up on where to even begin with this, as I've never worked on such a deep programming level. But thanks again, this has already helped alot, and if you have any further advice or ressources where to read on just keep em coming
I don't believe that the requirements that have been specified are so unique that they warrant a completely custom solution. There is nothing new about message boards, member profiles, and private messaging. I myself would build it in a tool I know which would probably be either Drupal 7/8 depending on the project deadline. Putting aside the requirements that have not been listed someone who know Drupal well could probably build the site/application in about half or even less the time it would take to reinvent the wheel. I guess that would all depend on the other requirements as well and whether the admin would need to be customized. You could probably even get away with Wordpress but I hate Wordpress so I myself would never recommend it.
Actually I have been thinking about doing the same, just not in PHP but in python. My efforts are still pretty much on the drawing board. However I think you need to define clearly your motivation for such a project if even only to yourself. For me its along the following :
No excellent forum software for Python seems to exist.
I haven't found a forum with a good plugin system that doesn't involve either monkey-patching, poor documentation or badly designed database (and one popular one is exceedingly bad not just awkward).
a template system that isn't stored in hard to edit xml files (I prefer html files as templates) and encourages 3rd party template creation
a lack of suitable rest api for integrating with other systems
difficulty in changing or bridging with other authentication systems
Anyway, would be interested to hear where they fall short of being an excellent choice for your requirements.
One could always have a look at discourse.org for the latest innovations in community portal web software. Its written in ruby but it has some interesting concepts.
I agree that building a forum/message-board software can be achieved with PHP frameworks, but not sure if Drupal is enough for this. After all, CMS like Drupal and Joomla aint like MVC/MVP frameworks, and they have their own limitations that prevent them from being as flexible and reusable/maintainable as Zend/Symfony/CakePHP frameworks.
What makes you think that Drupal 8 would not be appropriate for this project? Have you ever used Drupal 6/7/8? If not than what makes you qualified to say it is not an adequate framework to satisfy the business needs of this project? I will have you know that Drupal 8 is pretty much a complete rewrite of the entire system using several Symfony 2 components including the DI container and router. There is no reason why you can't write a Drupal 8 application/site in a away that models MVP with the way the system has been reinvented from an architectural standpoint. Drupal 8 is probably one of the most powerful, well architected CMF's available. Drupal 8 is probably about 75% object oriented as this point. I believe Drupal 9 the hook system is getting removed and being replaced completely with events.
If you want do it then do it. You should definitely use MVC framework and other popular frameworks. I can give advise on Java but I'm cluless on PHP. Isn't those CMS open source? maybe you can take their code and modify to your own need.
My strong point isn't PHP.However, since you are most conversant in that perhaps if you outline to us why, for example, Wordpress/Buddypress/bbpress falls short of your needs I might get a better handle on your unique requirements.

Jerrold J. Katz (1932-2002) was an American philosopher and linguist.
After receiving a PhD in philosophy from Princeton University in 1960, Katz became a Research Associate in Linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1961. He was appointed Assistant Professor of Philosophy there in 1963, and became Professor in 1969. From 1975 until his death, he was Distinguished Professor of Philosophy and Linguistics at the City University of New York.
Within linguistics, Katz is best known for his theory of semantics in generative grammar. Prof. Katz was a staunch defender of Rationalism (although not in a Cartesian/Fregean sense) and the metaphysical import of "essences". He argued extensively against the dominance of empiricism.

Sky-High Stadium
There was a time when the Dallas Cowboys used their stadium's most passionate fans as a resource. These days, though, the people in the stands are as likely to be one-timers wearing visiting-team colors as regulars in Cowboys blue-and-white. As long as they paid full price, Jerry Jones can take pride in a victory, of sorts.

Having an abundance of good catchers is never a bad thing. You can always trade one for a missing piece somewhere else. Look at the Rangers. They've got at least 2 catchers in their system I'd rather have over Bako/Ross/Valentine. The Mariners have at least 2 I'd take over Bako/Ross too.
Posey has demonstrated he can play any position, so he's not totally locked into catching, IMHO. If he's there at 7, I hope the Reds take him.

THIS is the moment a balaclava-clad robber armed with a 2ft long sword burst into a Burnley bookmakers.
The attack happened at the Coral Betting Shop, in Harry Potts Way, and resulted in the robber making off with £200 from the till, leaving the shop workers 'terrified'.
Detectives investigating the case have now issued CCTV images of a man they would like to speak to in connection with the robbery, which happened around 8.45pm on July 21.
Police said the attacker went up to the counter and demanded money from staff. It is then thought he hit the computer screen which operated the till with the sword and knocked over some of the shop's displays.
He then jumped over the counter, continuing to make demands for money and brandishing the weapon towards staff before making off with the cash.
The man left in the the direction of Holcombe Drive.
He was described as being white, approximately 5ft 10ins tall and of slim build. He spoke with a local accent and was wearing a grey tracksuit top with a logo on the top of the hood and dark tracksuit bottoms.
Det Con Dave Greenwood, of Pennine CID, appealed for anybody with information to come forward.
He said: "I would like people to take a close look at these CCTV images.
"And if anyone knows who this man may be, please get in touch with us as soon as you can.
"This was a violent and aggressive attack which left two members of staff terrified and fearful for their own safety."
Anyone with information should call 101 quoting reference LC-20140721-1516 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111 .

A Freshman Girl's Guide to College Formals
Missing your high school prom, when you got to dress up in a poufy pink dress and dance the night away with your BFFs? Worry no more; if you're in a sorority or have a close friend or boyfriend in a frat, your first college formal is right around the corner.Think of formal as the college version of a high school dance (minus the cheesy decorations and teacher supervision). You can forget about homecoming court drama and choosing a dress that follows your school's strict dress code. This is your chance to have all the fun you want without following too many rules.
Need help deciding what to wear or who to bring? Her Campus is here with all the inside tips for making this event live up to all the hype.
DO choose your date wisely.
Whether you go with your boyfriend, best guy friend, or hookup buddy, you should be careful about picking your plus-one. It's common for girls to get set up by their sorority sisters, but it's probably best to meet the guy in advance."Formals can get pretty couple-y, so it's important to go with someone who will be a good time and who's fun to dance with AND chat with," says Jenni, a Delta Gamma sister from Bucknell.
DON'T be afraid to bring a friend.
If you don't have a special guy in mind or if being set up with a random guy isn't really your thing, feel free to bring a (girl OR guy) friend. This way you can enjoy your night without having to worry about entertaining a boring date or keeping track of a date who drank a tad too much. "It really isn't weird at all to bring one of your girl friends to formal—think of it as a regular night out but with better clothes and better drinks," says Danielle, a collegiette at Ohio University.
DO make sure you know someone other than your date.
If you're being set up on a blind date, it's smart to check if anyone else you know is going to be there in case things get weird. If you're in a sorority and it's your formal, you'll have a full house of sorority sisters there to watch your back. But if you're not in Greek life, or if you're going to a guy's formal, try to ask around and see if some of your hall mates or classmates are going. You don't want to be stuck in an unfamiliar location surrounded by complete strangers, wishing you hadn't said yes to the boy who asked you to be his date at last weekend's frat party—which brings us to our next "don't"…
DON'T accept a drunken invitation to formal from a frat boy you just met.
He's not going to date you; he just wants to sleep with you. In his mind, inviting you to formal is an easy way in. You might be tempted to accept his invitation just so you can buy a new dress and brag to your friends that an upperclassman asked you to be his date. But we encourage you to say no and walk away. Doesn't it seem a little odd that his formal is tomorrow and he still doesn't have a date? "I once made out with a guy at a party who then asked me to his formal. I actually had a fun time but he ended up being a complete jerk. When his frat's next formal rolled around, a girl told me her whole sorority got an email saying he needed a date," says Christina*, a junior at the University of Michigan.
DO take pictures beforehand.
Meet as a group at your sorority or his frat and recreate the pre-prom photo scene you loved so much. This time around you won't have 20 different cameras flashing in your face. "Bring your camera and your best hand-on-hip pageant pose, because this could be your next profile pic—and, chances are, you'll be having so much fun later that you'll forget to take pictures," says Amanda, former Her Campus Life editor and a sister of Alpha Epsilon Phi at Cornell University.
DON'T wear a floor-length gown.
"Just because they're called 'formals' doesn't mean you're actually expected to wear formal attire. They really mean 'semi-formal', as in a cocktail party or family affair. Don't break out the micro-mini skirts and plunging necklines, though—you want to make a good impression on your date and his brothers," Amanda says. We recommend a classy party dress and your nicest pair of shoes.

POLICE are searching for a man who indecently exposed himself to girls as young as nine in Radcliffe.
Officers say they are stepping up patrols and are urging witnesses to come forward, as they believe the man could strike again.
At around 2pm on April 23 the man exposed himself to two girls aged nine and 10, who then ran off.
They had been walking along Dumers Lane when they were approached by the man in a dark blue car, who asked the girls the way to Bury.
The girl described the man as described as white, aged between 30 and 40, with a chubby build and greying brown hair with blue eyes.
He spoke with a local accent and was wearing a blue shirt with both sleeves rolled up and black trousers.
The man had also been involved in two incidents the day before.
At around 7.30pm the man exposed himself to a 12-year-old girl, who ran off to a nearby post office.
She had been walking down Dumers Lane and was approached by the man in a dark blue car, who asked her how to get to Bury New Road.
At around the same time that day, the man approached a 14-year-old girl who was also walking down Dumers Lane, and asked her how to get to Radcliffe.
He then asked the girl to get into his car and show him the way, and promised to drop her off back where he had approached her once he had reached his destination.
However the girl refused and entered a nearby shop, but the man waited outside the shop and asked her again when she emerged.
Having refused, the man drove off in the direction of Radcliffe.
These two girls described the man as white, aged between 30 and 50, with greying, brown hair and wearing a blue and white cheque shirt.
Detective Sergeant Ben Cottam, of Bury Police, said: "We are appealing to any witnesses to these incidents to get in touch.
"It is important that we make the public aware that this man is at large and potentially could attempt something similar again.
"We're also keen to hear from anyone else who may have had a similar experience but who has not yet reported it to police for whatever reason.
"We're urging the public to remain vigilant and call police if you are concerned.
"We do have extra patrols in the area but would ask if anyone sees a man of this description driving a blue saloon car in the area, or approaching young girls, that they contact police immediately."
Anyone with information should call police on 0161 856 8204 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Rainier Beer invites fans to restore the 'R'
Published 9:51 am, Tuesday, July 24, 2012
Want to be a part of restoring the iconic Rainier Beer "R" sign?
Rainier Beer owner Pabst Brewing launched a "Restore the R" campaign Tuesday to drum up excitement for the process, unveiling a website where people can complete challenges that light one of 250 bulbs on a virtual "R."
"Rainier Beer has been around longer than Washington has been a state, making it a legendary part of Northwest history," Pabst co-owner Evan Metropoulos said in a news release. "Rainier is best symbolized by its iconic 'R' sign, which was created almost 60 years ago. We're very excited to see this important symbol come back to life."
Seattle's Museum of History & Industry restoring the actual "R." But, once all the virtual bulbs are lit, Pabst will invite a "select group of fans who participated in the challenges" to a lighting ceremony at MOHAI.
The challenges posted so far include creating a sculpture out of Rainier cans, staging a peaceful protest to restore the "R," building a luxurious cat bed out of a Rainier box and shaving an "R" into your hair. The site will release more challenges as people complete the current ones.
Pabst also plans to send Grazing Rainiers out to roam Seattle and Portland parks, events and neighborhoods. These are "mythical creatures best described as giant beer bottles with legs."
Latest business videos
MOHAI plans to finish the "R" restoration later this year and put the sign on display at its new Lake Union Park location, which is set to open on Dec. 29.
"Few icons capture the spirit and traditions of the Northwest as powerfully as Rainier beer," MOHAI Executive Director Leonard Garfield said in the release. "For years to come, the 'R' will be a recognizable symbol that continues to grow in popularity as new generations of proud Northwesterners adopt the brand."

The Crap We Missed – Wednesday 4.23.14
Welcome to Wednesday's The Crap We Missed where Fish slapped his editorial dong on my desk and made me lead with Science Bros up there. While I freely admit to having no clue what the hell that is, I also enjoy not shaving for weeks at a time and don't ever worry about dying of a stress heart attack in traffic, so here we are. Plus, I still got to show you William Shatner clearly not understanding why he isn't staring into the butt he's accustomed to, so I can live with selling out.
*puts on bikini, washes Fish's car* Will there be anything else, Cap? (Don't you fucking judge me.)

(US) Lapham's Quartely Article: "Words Without Borders" By Matthew Battles (29 July 2015)
A millennium after ancient Greeks transcribed their myths, medieval scribes refashioned the written word into a republic of letters.
"In ancient Greece, writing arose among traders and artisans doing business in the markets with foreigners and visitors from other cities. Their alphabet emerged not in scribal colleges or the king's halls, nor was it brought by conquerors, but instead came ashore in the freewheeling, acquisitive, materialistic atmosphere of the agora, the Greek marketplace that also birthed democracy and the public sphere. ...
