Optional Dependencies
N2O comes with BERT message formatter support out of the box, and you only need one N2O dependency in this case. Should you need DTL templates, JSON message formatter, SHEN JavaScript Compiler or NITRO Nitrogen DSL you can plug all of them in separately:
{n2o, ".*",{git,"git://github.com/synrc/n2o", {tag, "2.8"}}},
{nitro, ".*",{git,"git://github.com/synrc/nitro", {tag, "2.8"}}},
{shen, ".*",{git,"git://github.com/synrc/shen", {tag, "1.5"}}},
{jsone, ".*",{git,"git://github.com/sile/jsone.git", {tag,"v0.3.3"}}},
Message Formatters
You can use any message formmatter at the bottom of N2O protocol. IO messages supported by the N2O protocol are as follows:
1. BERT : {io,"console.log('hello')",1}
2. WAMP : [io,"console.log('hello')",1]
3. JSON : {name:io,eval:"console.log('hello')",data:1}
4. TEXT : IO console.log('hello') 1\n
5. XML : <io><eval>console.log('hello')</eval><data>1</data></io>
Besides, you can even switch a channel termination formatter on the fly within one WebSocket session.
All Features in One snippet
peer() -> io_lib:format("~p",[wf:peer(?REQ)]).
message() -> wf:js_escape(wf:html_encode(wf:q(message))).
main() -> #dtl{file="index",app=n2o_sample,bindings=[{body,body()}]}.
body() ->
{Pid,_} = wf:async(fun(X) -> chat_loop(X) end),
[ #panel{id=history}, #textbox{id=message},
#button{id=send,body="Chat",postback={chat,Pid},source=[message]} ].
event(init) -> wf:reg(room);
event({chat,Pid}) -> Pid ! {peer(), message()};
event(Event) -> skip.
chat_loop({Peer, Message} ) ->
wf:insert_bottom(history,#panel{body=[Peer,": ",Message,#br{}]}),
wf:flush(room) end.
ab, httperf, wrk and siege are all used for measuring performance. The most valuable request hell is created by wrk and even though it is not achievable in real apps, it can demonstrate internal throughput of certain individual components.
The nearest to real life apps is siege which also performs a DNS lookup for each request. The data below shows internal data throughput by wrk:
|Enabled Components
|Simple script with two <?php print "OK"; ?>
|No sessions, No DSL, Simple DTL
|No sessions, No DSL, Simple DTL
|All enabled, sessions, Template, heavy DSL
|Sessions enabled, template with two variables, no DSL
|No sessions, No DSL, only template with two vars
Kickstart Bootstrap
To try N2O you need to clone a N2O repo from Github and build it. We use a very small and powerful tool called mad designed specially for our Web Stack.
$ git clone git://github.com/synrc/n2o
$ cd n2o/samples
$ ./mad deps compile plan repl
Now you can try it out: http://localhost:8000
LINUX NOTE: if you want to have online recompilation you should install
inotify-tools first:
$ sudo apt-get install inotify-tools
Erlang version
We don't accept any reports of problems related to ESL or Ubuntu packaging. We only support Erlang built from sources, official Windows package, built with kerl or installed on Mac with homebrew. If you have any problems with your favourite Erlang package for your OS, please report issues to package maintainer.

Game shows students perils of Underground Railroad
A team of Ball State University professors and students has developed an online game designed to help elementary school pupils learn what it was like to be a runaway slave traveling the Underground Railroad.
Professors Ron Morris and Paul Gestwicki led the effort to create "The Underground Railroad in the Ohio River Valley." The Star Press reports the yearlong project involved about 60 students.
The game geared toward fourth-graders lets students portray runaway slaves setting out on the harrowing journey north along the Underground Railroad through Indiana and other Midwestern states. They must make decisions about which way to go to avoid capture.
Morris says the creators decided to develop a game around the Underground Railroad to give teachers a new resource for a popular subject.

Levin and Judith (Booth) Bishop Family
David Bishop was born in Clark Co., Kentucky, August 24, 1824. He was the son of Levin Bishop, born Bishopville, Md, 1789, and Judith Booth Bishop (daughter of David Booth - Rev. Sol. from Va) David's father Levin served in the war of 1812 from Kentucky. Levin was discharged at Malden, March 1815. Levin moved to Boone county 1831 and died 1880, buried just north of Columbia. David served 1846-47 in the Mexican War and went with General Scott into Mexico City when that city was taken by the U.S. troops. During his thirty years residence in California, Mr. Bishop was interested financially in a number of businesses; First a livery stable on the corner of Oak St., now occupied by Lebeck's Cabinet Shop; a furniture store in the middle of the block south and facing the Depot, then he went into the lumber business with Joseph Russell who later sold to Mr. Ott; he was also a partner in Bishop and Ramsey Dry Goods Store. Two of his children are residents of California, Mrs L.F. Wood (Mary Catherine) and James Levin Bishop. ---- David Bishop - History of Cole, Moniteau, Morgan, Benton, Miller, Maries and Osage Counties, Missouri, 1889, p911 David Bishop of the firm of Russell & Bishop, lumber dealers of California, was born in Clark county, Ky., August 24, 1824, but has been a resident of Missouri since 1830. Until 1866 he resided on a farm but during the Mexican War served in 1846 and 1847, and at the former date moved to Boone County, and came to Moniteau County in 1870. He was in the livery business here for five years, and then began selling lumber. In 1882 he engaged in the general merchandise business in partnership with J.W. Ramsey, their stock being valued at about $2,000, and the firm has since been known as Bishop & Ramsey. He also engaged in lumbering with Mr. Russell, and is doing a successful business. He owns and conducts a valuable farm near the town, and is one of the prosperous citizens of the county. In 1849 he was married to Maria A. Evans, a native of Boone county, Mo., by whom he has had three children living: Kate, Laura and James L. He was married a second time, in 1866, to Ann E. Stice, a native of Boone Co., Mo., by whom he became the father of two children: Lydia and Albert. Mr. and Mrs. Bishop are members of the Christian Church, and he belongs to the Masonic fraternity. His parents, Levin and Indeas (Booth) Bishop, were born in Maryland and Virginia, respectively, and were married in Kentucky. In 1830 they came by wagon to Boone County, Mo., where the father entered and purchased land which was in a wild state. He was in the War of 1812, and was with Gen. Harrison at the fort when Dudley was defeated by the British at Tippecanoe. He died in Boone county, Mo., in 1884, and his wife in 1872. [Note: on page 1025 there is a paragraph about L.F. Wood which contains the following: "... In 1871 he wedded Kate Bishop, by whom he has three children: Elia B., Walter F. and Myrtle B.]

Ligue 1: Marseille out to revive European dream
PARIS, March 29 (Reuters) - Olympique Marseille will be looking to revive their European hopes when they travel to mid-table Lorient in Ligue 1 on Saturday.
Marseille, who ended a seven-match winless streak by beating Nice 3-0 in the last round of matches, are eighth in the standings with 42 points from 29 games, trailing third-placed Girondins Bordeaux by only two points.
'We are heading towards the final sprint. (After this weekend) it will be very difficult for the teams who are left behind to catch up,' centre back Ronald Zubar told the club's website.
Marseille will again be without France midfielder Franck Ribery, who is still nursing a foot injury.
Lorient, 13th on 37 points, will move closer to staying in the top flight if they grab their seventh home win of the season.
Olympique Lyon's game against Stade Rennes has been postponed until April 18 as the Ligue 1 leaders play the League Cup final against Girondins Bordeaux on Saturday.
The Aquitaine side will host Nancy also on April 18.
Second-placed RC Lens can make a decisive step towards a direct Champions League qualifying spot when they host struggling Paris St Germain in Sunday's late kickoff.
Lens enjoy a five-point lead over third-placed Bordeaux and have not lost against PSG at their Felix-Bollaert stadium since 1997.
PSG, who are second from bottom with 28 points, two from safety, have lost their last four league matches.
The capital side might be able to count on former Rangers midfielder Jeremy Clement, who could return from a foot injury.
'We have to take things step by step. We now have nine matches to play, which will be nine finals,' Clement told the club's website.
Fourth-placed Lille, who entertain Valenciennes in a derby on Sunday, have got their eyes on three points after collecting only four from their last six league matches.
'If we don't grab points from the coming matches, we can easily drop to 10th in the standings. We have to question ourselves and get back on track,' defender Mathieu Chalme told Lille's website.
Nantes, who have never been relegated since joining the elite in 1963, will have the opportunity to climb out of the drop zone when they take on bottom club Sedan in Sunday's early kickoff.
The Canaries are 18th on 29 points, one adrift of Troyes, who host Sochaux.

I bought this bracelet at an antiques fair this last spring. I thought it was juliana but after researching I found some pieces in different colors by selro/selini. The sad thing is my collection has grown out of control and I bet I have not worn 75% of my pieces. This is just another one that although I take her out and admire her she never goes to the party. LOL!

There is an old Stealers Wheel song with the refrain, "Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am, stuck in the middle… ." Surely this song was written about the Louisiana Department of Traffic Delays (DOTD).
While Louisiana enjoys an unprecedented increase in construction, the DOTD decides to make it more difficult for people to get to and from work. While the river is an asset, it's also an obstacle. Just ask those who spend hours waiting in seemingly endless lines to cross a bridge or board a ferry.
Meanwhile, the clowns decide to paint two bridges at once, reducing the traffic carrying capacity by 50 percent. Instead of increasing ferry capacity, they reduce it by closing the ferry at White Castle completely. It would help to run two of the 35-car ferries at Plaquemine, but one remains tied up to rust in place.
The Audubon Bridge was built from nowhere to nowhere, except it passes through a former politician's land, and due to a lack of traffic, makes a great place to picnic with a wonderful river view. Meanwhile, the decades of neglect of Louisiana's highways continues to allow deterioration at an even more rapid rate, putting us closer to the rutted gravel roads of yore. Potholes breed potholes.
Serious economic development means serious infrastructure investment. This would allow companies to get their workforces onto the job, raw materials delivered and products and services to market. Making it easy for businesses to do business is better than trying to buy them into the state or buy votes with money that could be spent on infrastructure enrichment.
The resources and jobs are here; leadership is missing.

|Officials clear C-130J container delivery system
by 1st Lt. Brooke Davis
Air Force Flight Test Center Public Affairs
2/11/2005 - EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (AFPN) -- Eight back-to-back flights flown in five days on a stretch C-130J Hercules tested it for the container delivery system's ability to carry about 40,000 pounds of bundled equipment.
The stretch C-130J is 15 feet longer than the C-130J and can drop more equipment.
The system is used in combat to deliver the "bacon and bullets" to warfighters in the field. Of the 24 bundles released during the recent test here, none were damaged and testers attained a 100 percent survivability rate.
The testers' objective was to assess the damage rate to the released bundles to calculate how much extra equipment must be dropped so that warfighters on the ground receive the serviceable amount needed, said Michael Berard, the 418th Flight Test Squadron C-130J program manager.
The 100-percent survivability rate during this test means the stretch C-130J does not have to carry extra equipment and supplies for the Army, he said.
Testers rigged together 55-gallon drums of water to create the pallets weighing as much as 2,300 pounds. The pallets -- including the rigging and parachutes -- were evaluated for structural survivability after the drop, Mr. Berard said.
In previous tests four years ago, the aircraft's center of gravity changed during drops, said Maj. Scott Dickson, a 418th FLTS project pilot.
"During the drop, the pilot has to maintain the aircraft's pitch since (the system) uses gravity to extract the bundles from the aircraft," Major Dickson said. "It's critical to maintain a tight tolerance so the bundles don't bunch up and damage each other while the extraction occurs."
The pilot is now aware of the problem and can anticipate this movement, he said. The recent bundle drops evaluated the pilot's technique when overcoming the aircraft's pitch and how much variation can be allowed.
Test results could save about $5,000 per bundle drop by reusing the pallets for training purposes.

DNV KEMA's Open Multiphase Flow Lab
Energy consulting, testing and certification company DNV KEMA will open a new Multiphase Flow Laboratory (MPFL) in Groningen, the Netherlands. The facility will allow equipment manufactures and oil and gas companies to test, validate and calibrate multiphase technologies – e.g. separators and flow meters – for the production of oil and gas and the measurement and trading of gas. As the MPFL is operating in a unique true-to-life environment, the facility will help increasing the accuracy of future multiphase flow meters, as well as the efficiency of future multiphase separators. As a result, it is expected that the economical and operational risks of oil and gas fields can be better managed. With the MPFL, DNV KEMA responds to the increasing global demand for and supply of gas.
The production of gases in deep waters, oil sands or shale formations is complex and needs high-tech equipment. As oil and gas wells typically output a fluid mixture composed of oil, natural gas, (salt) water and even sand, plant operators need to know the actual flow rates of these fluids to ensure that the gas and oil quality meet the contractual requirements. Multiphase technologies help to determine these flows. By improving multiphase technologies, the technical and financial reliability of oil and gas production will increase. As a result, the downtime of production plants can be limited, the integrity and safety of the local oil and gas infrastructures improved and the lifetime of an oil and gas field extended.
On the demand side, there is a growing need for gas – in particular Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) – for the generation of power and the fuelling of growing economies. This will lead to higher intercontinental gas trading and transmission volumes. As small deviations of large measured volumes cause financial risks, the accuracy of gas meters is crucial. The MPFL is capable of validating and calibrating multiphase flow meters to ensure the quality of the measurements.
DNV KEMA has invested in the upgrade of the existing "wet gas" closed loop facility to a full Multiphase flow test lab. It will be capable of recreating the kind of conditions equipment would face in the field. This includes a full range of multiphase fluid compositions at realistic temperatures, pressures and flow rates. It will also accelerate industry efforts to develop standards for equipment and testing protocols.

In 7 days: Created a team, Built a working app in 24 hrs, Won Startup Weekend & Pitched at DEMO
This post is by Guy Morita, an internet entrepreneur and photographer, currently living in San Francisco, CA. It originally appeared on Guy's blog, Lion Hacks.
The last 7 days were a complete whirlwind of entrepreneurship, team building, game design, mentorship, networking, emotional highs, and of course, no sleep. What began with my friend, Jonathan Fung, coaxing me to cancel my flight home and instead participate in Startup Weekend, ended with one of the best entrepreneurial experiences/exercises I've had in my life. What was most different about this one than all the others was the level of camaraderie and synergy that we had amongst our team. It's great to work with people that work as hard as you do and care just as much about the success of a project/company/idea. In this post I hope to take you through the roller coaster that was the last 7 days and some of my lessons learned.
Startup Weekend (SW):
SW is a 54-hour event where developers, artists, entrepreneurs and marketers combine their talents to pitch ideas for startup companies, form teams around those ideas, build prototypes/demos, and finally pitch it as a business on Sunday evening. Our event was called MEGA Startup Weekend because of the 120 cities they host the event in, this one was the biggest. Over 300 people signed up for 3 different verticals: Gaming, Mobile, and Robotics. Even despite how cool it sounds I can honestly say I had no idea what to expect going in. And I would not have signed up if my friends hadn't pushed me. I'm going to go into a lot of detail about each step of the whole process so if it gets a little dry, feel free to skip to the next section.
The first day of the event was Friday which is where we all divided up into our verticals and got the opportunity to pitch an idea to try and build a team. In the gaming vertical there were probably over 30 game ideas pitched ranging from a Code Battle (learn to code by battling against your friends), Bet on anything with friends, Pirate Booty (pirate game with a mario type view), Productivity games, Zombie game (a play on zombie games where instead you are the zombies attacking the people) and an Eskimo game (kinda like angry birds but multiplayer and you launch eskimos instead of birds). Nathan, my roommate, pitched an idea for apples-to-apples on the phone which didn't get any fan fare. And my idea for a game similar to Joust which featured music instead of visuals also got voted out. When it came time for everyone to form teams around the winning ideas, there were many which I was interested in trying, but none really jumped out as being amazing. Charles, a guy whose idea also got voted out, approached Nathan about developing the apples-to-apples idea. I soon joined and we began to work through the idea. We soon realized we needed more development help so we began looking for any developers that hadn't yet been taken. Fortunately we were able to poach our fourth and final teammate, Nikola, from another team. The founding team was now born!
We quickly got to work figuring out what we wanted to get done in next 48 hours. After all, we had to create a business/vision, build an app, and pitch it by Sunday evening. We began looking at each our skill sets and strengths to divide up tasks. Charles had a computer science degree from Berkeley and tons of coding experience so he was our lead developer / product manager. Nikola had a computer engineer with back-end experience so he was to build the architecture and back-end of the game. Nathan had experience in IT consulting and a background in finance so he was the project manager. I had experience building my own web design/marketing company so I took a business and UI/UX/design role. After we decided on roles it was now time to actually get started!
On Saturday we showed up nice and early to get started. Charles even brought an extra monitor to help boost productivity. To do mockups/wireframes of our app I used balsamiq which was an easy way to create designs/frame for the developers and designers to use in collaboration. Charles began pounding away at coding the android app and Nikola started on the back-end. Nathan began to plan our the pitch and started collaborating with mentors. We kept pounding away every hour and to my amazement, we made significant progress.
It wasn't until Saturday afternoon that I realized what we had was pretty special. Not only did we have a pretty cool idea, but our team had more synergy than any I had worked on before. We all knew our roles and we since we were all working so hard at them, it seemed like things were getting done very quickly. I finished the wireframes and design elements (buttons, backgrounds) and built our website by the end of the afternoon. Charles had most of the front-end functionality done by the evening. And we had received amazing advice from probably a dozen or so mentors that came by our table. Almost all the mentors had direct experience in building games, investing in games, or some other computer/gaming field. Those small tidbits of advice we got early on Saturday were no doubt essential parts of our eventual success. One of the mentors Adeo Ressi, advised us on some monetization strategies based on consumables/power-ups and also on making sure that we all dressed up as a team. Tony Parisi, Scott Foe, and Aaron Cammarata helped to work through our business model, go-to-market strategy, and presentation form.
Despite all of our hard work we were still no where near finished by the time they kicked us our of the Microsoft Campus at midnight. We decided to keep coding away at Charles's place and it wasn't till 5am that we were finally able to get the app working and get some much needed sleep.
By Sunday we came onto the Campus looking more like zombies than people. Nathan's contacts were glued to his eyes and I was growing a beard. But alas, this was the final stretch. As the day went on our team began to realize that while our game was awesome, it was still not quite awesome enough to win. It needed a bigger vision/idea. It needed a business and a company behind it. It wasn't till we started preparing to do our pitch that Charles came up with the game changer. The platform on top of the game. A vision for a new way of photo sharing. Completely unexplored.
Then came time to actually pitch. There were about 15 teams in our category and 5 judges with experience building gaming companies and investing in them. Nathan and Charles led the pitch and I led the demo of the app. Overall it went off very well and the judges couldn't poke any large holes into our plan, given that we'd only had 48 hours to work it. When it came time to announce the winners our team had a very strong feeling that we had a chance to win. So I got our lucky hats that we had presented with ready. With our category they announced that it was a toss up between two teams so the brief excitement with our team being announced was quickly thrown off because we weren't sure if we had one. Luckily, they called out our name "Stinky da Vinci" and the rest is history! Thank you to all the folks that put on Startup Weekend!
Why our team did so well:
As cliche as it sounds, synergy. I grew a much better understanding of the word after this weekend. First, our team had a very solid vision of what we wanted to build and the components that would make it compelling. This can't be fabricated. If our idea had been less novel / interesting / value-adding, the vision would've been aimed much lower and therefore less powerful. Second, we all knew what roles we needed to play and since we were such a small team, there weren't any politics. I'm now convinced that team/office politics are one of the worst poisons out there. Hard to fix and lethal to a productive/positive culture. Third, openness. All of us knew that we all wanted to build the best product possible and a company that could actually succeed whether or not we won the competition. Because of this, we weren't afraid to lower our pride if a better idea or suggestion came about. Fourth, hard work. We all slaved away on the project and burned through the midnight oil as a team. Even if you don't totally like someone you're working with, it's much easier to respect them if you know that they work their ass off and create good work. All of us created good work and added to what ultimately became the game and company.
After 54 hours of sleep deprivation we found out we would not be getting much sleep for another 72-96 hours because we had to pitch at the DEMO conference. I had initially expected to be done with Startup Weekend on Sunday and fly back to Seattle Monday at 7am but now I had to once again cancel the flight! Though this one wasn't too hard of a decision to make. If you're wondering what DEMO is, it's a very well known launchpad for emerging technologies. Some of the famous successes include E-Trade, Salesforce.com, TiVo, VMware and WebEx. Companies that get selected to pitch have 6 minutes to show off their latest/greatest technology in front of an audience of angel/venture capital investors and press from around the globe. Though we weren't looking for funding it was still an amazing opportunity to network with investors/press and just to be in the middle of so many innovations!
One of the standout technologies was a company called TourWrist which is basically an iPad app that gives you a 360 view of picture. Almost as if you're reliving that moment in time. It's amazing stitching technology and solid UI made it really stand out. I believe it's free so I would urge anyone with an iPad or iPhone to check it out. You won't be disappointed. Over the last two days I must have watched pitches from over 60 companies with a wide range of coolness and potential. Here are a some of my thoughts:
- Great presentation skills can make all the difference. Toopher was a company which allowed for secure authentication to your mobile phone. Doesn't sound like the most interesting topic right? However the Founder/Speaker did a great job of adding in tons of humor, self-deprecation and ended by grinding up competitors products in a blender (literally). Needless to say he fully engaged the audience and made themfeel his message.
- While there were tons of breakout technologies, there were also tons of companies that seemed to solve a problem that didn't exist. Or identified a problem that existed and built an irrelevant tool. One such example was a website which helped job seekers find jobs based on semantically understanding their resume and matching their Myers-Briggs with that of the job. First of all, job hunting is a pain in the ass and sucks not because companies don't get enough resumes, but because companies don't have the people that they want to hire in their immediate network. Most companies would always prefer to hire someone based on a recommendation from an employee or friend. It's validation. And it stands on the integrity of the person making the recommendation. Second, the Myers-Briggs while in principle might be nice, is a pretty crude way to match people up for a job.
- Many companies, especially in the consumer space identified a problem and made a decent solution, but didn't focus on the true business problem with consumer focused technology which distribution and adoption. One such example made a new DVR blending high quality, high storage capacity and a kitchen sink. To me, this is the typical "new" technology which has a bunch of new features, faster, cooler/sleeker, etc. But especially in this industry, the question is how are you going to distribute? Does the consumer actually want cooler, faster, more storage? Tons of companies flood into the TV/DVR space and few have had any success because they can't get the consumer to actually adopt it. Google TV is going to make a run at the TV space as well.
- In this era, beautiful design/UI is essential. In fact, if your product is designed well enough, with solid aesthetics, and a simple UI, the product can do all the marketing for you. While Instagram isn't exactly a business model, this was at the core of their success. Many companies had beautiful UI's such as TourWrist, NotesCloud, DealAngel and Edamam.
These were some of the key areas that I thought separated the companies that had potential from the rest of the herd. And this is only a critique on their 6 minute presentation, I'm sure all of the companies could go more in depth on how they plan to approach their weaknesses. Here is a brief list of my favorites:
- TourWrist – 360 imaging for iPad and iPhone. It's really slick.
- ZBoard – World's first, weight-sensing electric skateboard. Basically Segway meets skateboard, it's pretty sweet.
- Toopher – Location based authentication to mobile phone
- Dozuki – Easily create and share instructions / documentation
- Fusion-io – Extremely efficient and cost effective new hardware innovations
The other half of DEMO was about the networking! After the sessions investors and press were able to network with all the companies. Our booth was setup on the wall by the entrance and we had the pleasure to meet investors, press, and tons of entrepreneurs from around the globe. DEMO did a great job producing the whole event with nothing really going wrong. And plenty of open bars =)
Thank you to the Startup Weekend team, Ahmed, Aaron, Marc, Franck, Claire and anyone else who I missed. Also, thanks to the DEMO team for putting on a great show!

Editorial Reviews▼▲
"At times sermons and books refer to the beliefs and writings of early Christian leaders, and this dictionary is a compilation of those, arranged according to more than seven hundred topics. What did Clement of Alexandria say about abortion? What did Irenaeus note concerning the priesthood of the believer? How did Justin Martyr view the matter of divorce? Needless to say, the book is very interesting.
"The book begins with a 'Who's Who' listing of the ante-Nicene Fathers whose comments are included throughout this reference tool. The section lists not only their names but also what they are remembered for, when they lived, and how to pronounce their names. 'How to Use This Dictionary' at the beginning is useful too. . . . it is good to have a handy resource on what [the church fathers] believed and said." --Baptist Bulletin

Of course it can't contain everything. If you want something that doesn't leave anything out, buy the whole set of ante Nicene writings. If you want a nice one volume reference, this book is for you.
You could easily spend hours in amazement as to what early Christians believed and how far mainstream Christianity has changed from the original.
dennis dickinsonAge: 55-65Gender: male1 Stars Out Of 5November 8, 2008dennis dickinsonAge: 55-65Gender: maleThis text is probably more note worthy for what it leaves out than for what it puts in. The Author will not stand before anyone who has actually read the early Fathers. Seems he found what he wanted to find rather than what was there. I reviewed the book for a friend and found it very poor indeed! I teach the Early Church Fathers and this book will not be found helpful to any reader.
Sherwin Samonte5 Stars Out Of 5January 11, 2008Sherwin SamonteAn excellent resource for those who have no access to the volumes of ante-Nicene writings. Here is a compilation of important quotations from early Christians arranged topically. Interestingly, through this book, one can trace back Anabaptist doctrines such as non-resistance and non-conformity to early Christianity.
Ryan Cartwright5 Stars Out Of 5August 23, 2007Ryan CartwrightDavid Bercot's greatest work on the patristic writings truly help to open a vast body of literature not easily accesible for the average individual. I find this work a very useful tool in assisting to delve deeply into these writings for even those unfamiliar with the Church Fathers. While I would advise to use this book as a starting point to get deeper into the source material it is a spectacular and much needed work for anyone interested in Church history, doctrinal issues and development of theology. Bercot has also prepared many audio lessons which I have found to be very interesting and useful.
J.B. Forbes5 Stars Out Of 5July 20, 2003J.B. ForbesMany Christians who are exploring the 'early church' start at around A.D. 325. This dictionary takes you into the time before the Emperors influenced the decisions of the Church. Bercot does an excellent job keeping the commentary to mimimum and letting these early disciples speak for themselves. This should be in every church library!

Hi, I am 4 weeks post op from having rhinoplasty and orthognathic surgery (jaw surgery). The jaw surgery was for medical reasons, and surgeon told me he works with another surgeon who could perform nose surgery too. I had always wanted to have my nose bridge shaved down, but my surgeon convinced me to have the bridge & tip narrowed too. I wanted a minor change. I am very self conscious and think my nose looks scooped out and unnatural. Is this due to tip swelling? Will this go down? Please help!
Can I Expect my Nose Shape to Change As It Heals After Rhinoplasty?

Be well and good luck!

Nasal Refinement
Hopefully you will achieve the nasal refinement you wanted. At 4 weeks, the tip swelling may distort the ultimate profile. Wait another 6-9 months to critique your result.
Nose Will Get Smaller Over Time After Rhinoplasty
Hi Shopgirl,
It is best to discuss your concerns with your rhinoplasty surgeon. It is so important for patients to be sure that their rhinoplasty surgeon understands what the patient wants. It sounds as if there was poor communication as the surgeon did much more than you desired. Unfortunately, the bridge and the tip of your nose will only decrease in size over time. At 6 to 12 months after your surgery if you are still unhappy with the results, then is the time to consider augmentative revision rhinoplasty. Good luck and be well.

They wanted gradual cuts that would keep American forces at a much higher combat strength well into next year, senior administration officials said.
The cost of the war and Mr Karzai's uneven progress in getting his forces prepared had been latent issues since Mr Obama took office. But in recent weeks they gained greater political potency as the President's newly refashioned national security team took the crucial decision of the size and the pace of American troop cuts, officials said.
Mr Obama was expected to address these decisions in a speech to the nation later this month, they said.

Visual Editor not working with 3.7 update
Yesterday I installed the new WP 3.7 at A Traveler's Library and it screws up the visual editor on my site. (Fortunately my problems are not as serious as other people seem to be having). The public view of the site looks fine.
On my theme, Blue Grace, there is a gray box that stretches way beyond the borders of my editing box, and does not show the picture that I have entered. In the text version everything appears correct.
I tried disabling all my plugins and that did not solve the problem.
I switched to various themes, and the visual editor worked correctly only on Twenty ten, twenty twelve and twenty thirteen of the ones I tried. Some themes showed the gray box, with the picture somewhere within it, some just the gray box.
I am now reverting to my backup before installing 3.7, but am hoping that I'll be able to go back to 3.7 at some point.

Pit bull truly boy's best friend after fire escape
A two-year-old pit bull is becoming a sort of celebrity a day after saving a boy from a house fire.
"Ace" licked 13-year-old Nick Lamb's face to wake him up from a nap as his house caught fire Wednesday afternoon. After the boy, who was born deaf and had taken his hearing aids out to sleep, realized the danger he and his dog got out of the home to safety.
"I feel like I got a second chance because of Ace," Nick said Thursday.
The story of Ace's heroics quickly went viral online, spread by a large group of pit bull owners who say it's good the breed is getting recognized for Ace's actions.
"Ace just boosted up their reputation a little bit," Nick said.
The dog is popular in the family's Perry Pines Court neighborhood.
"He plays with all the kids in the neighborhood," James Bernard said.
But Wednesday made the two and a half year old pit bull a celebrity after alerting Nick to the fire and saving his life.
"I'm kind of at a loss for words. I think we've grown that much closer to the dog than we ever have been. It's hard to explain. It's a love that can't be replaced," Bernard said.
But the family almost never got Ace.
"My wife she isn't too keen on dogs, she's more of a cat person," Bernard laughs.
They later compromised, and got Ace when he was nine weeks old.
The family is happy to have everyone safe and now focus on getting their life back together.
"My phone and my wife's phone just won't stop blowing up. Everybody's offering to help. It's greatly appreciated. It's a little overwhelming," Bernard said.
And while their home sits in ruins, there's one thing they're happy to have.
"My biggest thing was our wedding pictures. And luckily it was untouched. Untouched. The only thing in the whole house that was not touched by water or anything," Bernard said. "As long as we have each other, we're fine. We don't need anything else."
The pit bull wasn't the only happy pet story at the scene Wednesday. The family thought their cat, "Pixie," may have been lost in the fire. But after a long search, firefighters brought her out of the home alive. She cuddled contently in Nick's arms before she was taken to a veterinarian to be treated for smoke inhalation.

I like to think I'm a kind person, but I have my limits.
I usually don't mind helping people as long as it isn't too much out of my way. I just don't want to feel that I was taken advantage of or manipulated in some way.
Call me paranoid, but giving a ride to a hitchhiker is definitely past my limits. I just don't feel safe.
Now, I'm not trying to stereotype hitchhikers as violent drifters. I would say the odds are good that most people who throw their thumb out are folks who are down on their luck and just need a quick bit of help, rather than homicidal maniacs waiting for their next victim to pick them up unknowingly.
This isn't the movies. For the most part, people are good to each other.
And yet, hitchhikers are treated with disdain and fear.
I read a story about a hitchhiker that was so full of unfortunate irony that it nearly broke my heart.
Robert Dolin, 39, of West Virginia decided to hitchhike across the county in order to write a memoir, "Kindness in America." Sounds like a pretty great idea, actually. Books, stories and documentaries in this vein usually interest me greatly.
Here's the awful-yet-ironic part. Dolin approached a pickup truck that he thought the driver was offering him a ride Saturday in rural Montana. The driver allegedly shot Dolin and sped away.
Police were able to apprehend the alleged shooter four hours later 100 miles from the scene of the shooting. He was allegedly under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
For the record, Dolin did not suffer life-threatening injuries in the shooting and is recovering in a hospital.
It's weirdly fitting that this would happen to a man writing a book about kindness while hitchhiking across our country.
I hope Dolin can reflect back on this experience and turn it into a thoughtful anecdote for a book that will show that Americans are still kind and, despite any stigma, still pick up hitchhikers.
It seems rather unfortunate that anonymous hitchhiking still has to happen in this digital age we're living in. I've seen the rise of online communities that essentially offer a similar convenient commodity when traveling: a place to sleep.
Couch surfing first entered my world a few years back when I saw some old high school friends traveling across the country and sharing their adventures on Facebook. While I was familiar with the term when it came to friends crashing on couches, I didn't realize that people would open their apartments and homes to strangers traveling through.
But the more I think about it, the more I like the idea. I love the idea of a world where people can make new friends and find a support group across the globe while traveling on the cheap.
I imagine the people you'd meet in this community would be an amazing group full of wonderful stories. I envision folks with a passion for meeting new people who love life and find happiness in seeing the world, most likely on a shoestring budget. It sounds fairly enticing.
Perhaps the reality isn't quite as bright. But one can dream.
A quick Google search showed online hitchhiking communities and networks do exist, though they are not as popular as couch surfing. This is understandable, since hitchhiking is much less communal than couch surfing, which seems similar to traveling and staying in hostels.
Whatever the case, hitchhikers are still out there. If you feel comfortable enough to do so, stop and give them a ride. I'm sure the person would greatly appreciate it and you'd be paying it forward.
But I don't blame you if you don't stop. Just find another way to practice kindness to others.

So what about this week? Did you know there are flamboyant gay people roaming the streets of San Francisco? Name five things the South End needs more than a Peet's franchise. You can't. Is the Hall of Fame too secretive? Well, that's valid… to a point. It's semi-valid. 40% semi-valid, but a LEGIT 40%. Anyway, it's time for your Fun with Peter King year in review. Basically, Peter ran a clip show of old columns this week. But they're totally worth checking out again because they were so awesome the first time. Think about this clip show, people. IMAGINE. RUMINATE. MAKE IT YOUR OWN. READ ON.
It's been an odd week. I've been bronchially ill for much of it.
Oh no, not bronchially ill! That's the worst bronchial thing to be! Much better to be bronchially inquisitive. Or bronchially rapacious.
My year in review is coming. But first a few words on Dave Duerson. The former Bears' All-Pro starting safety shot himself in the chest Thursday after texting family members to be sure, after death, that his brain was harvested and analyzed for the kind of degenerative brain condition that has been found to be increasingly common in some former football players.
That was a terribly sad story. RIP Duerson.
It's hard to transition from that to a breezy look at the season just concluded, so I won't try. Here goes.
Things I don't look bad for writing
Man, that Duerson story sure was a downer. In other news, HERE'S SOME SHIT I GOT RIGHT WHEN I WROTE IT! SUCK ON IT HARD, NEW ORLEANS SKYCAP! Know whose brain still is still 100% bronchially functional? PETER TO THE KING, BITCH.
Anyway, take a look at all the awesome points I made!
On April 5, after the Eagles dealt Donovan McNabb to Washington: I like the trade for both teams.
Totally correct prediction! Except for half of it!
What happened: I got it half-right.
But half-right is right enough when you're me! For you see, Peter King is not unlike a bank. He fucks up so often that he often inspires a pleasant reaction merely by not fucking up entirely! Life is sweet when the world has obscenely low expectations for you. This McNabb deal? Shades of Elway….
On July 26, pre-training camp: I have no information for you, other than I, like all of you, think Brett Favre's going to show up in time to play the third preseason game.
BOOM! Another flawless prediction. Granted, everyone else predicted the same thing, but I'll still take it! You know, I've got a funny feeling this Aaron Rodgers kid will be with the Packers for a long, long time. BOOK IT.
On Aug. 23: I'd put the odds at the owners locking players out of team facilities on March 1, 2011, or thereabouts, at 80 percent.
What happened: I still would.
I'm extremely proud of this prediction, because it hasn't had time to be proven correct yet! So it's still in play!
Things I wish I had back:
1. That sixth Kit Kat
2. The Winter Pils I ordered at Houston's last week. Terrible beer. Not even close to tasting like a Peroni, which is my measuring stick for all beer.
g. Not saying anything to the catwoman in Row 5 of my Air Trans flight. Who's the pussy now, Peter?
Xvii. Not being more horse conscious.
%: Those pants Steve Young barfed all over sixteen years ago. Those were my lucky pleated Dockers. You don't come across a pair of pants like that very often. I never should have gotten him those extra Ring Dings. But that's what a dogged reporter does for his story.
3f. Not coming around on the 3-point shot sooner. I get it now!
On July 26: Ran into Larry King at Nate and Al's deli in Beverly Hills. That's his breakfast haunt.
"Haunt" is just such an appropriate word there.
"Who's your surprise team of the season?" he asked me. I said, "Carolina."
LARRY: And who do you see them going against in the playoffs?
PETER: The Marlins.
Now for a MMQB timeline of the season
June 14th: Hey, I'm at the World Cup! A small African child bartender just let me keep my pintglass! YOU TALK ABOUT WELCOMING!
June 15th: Hey get that ref from Chad off the pitch! THAT COUNTRY IS TOO SMALL AND AFRICAN TO BE LEGIT!
July 26th: I'm disgusted by Dez Bryant being forced to pay $55,000 for a rookie dinner. In other news, the velvet footstool they brought my wife at Per Se last week was an extraordinary gesture. And they let her keep it! For $600 for two at dinner, they should have.
July 27th: The Acela train! It left without me! First they give me coffee-flavored, water-flavored water, and now they leave South Station in a timely manner! WHAT THE FUCK.
August 3rd: Tell me if you like this roto trade: Albert Pujols AND Roy Halladay, for Derek Jeter, Mark Wohlers, and a crisp Blue Moon lager with a wedge of orange in the bottle. I know! It sounds crazy! But I love Jeter's hustle, and a Blue Moon paired with lettuce wraps hits the spot.
August 12th: I like Carson Palmer. I know Carson Palmer. I see Carson Palmer. I six the sandbox. I seven the sandbox. I eight the sandbox. I ATE THE SANDBOX?!
/Sesame Street'd
August 17th: Great nugget from Adam Schefter: The Broncos like Tim Tebow A LOT.
August 23rd: TEASE ALERT: I'll tell you what nugget Adam Schefter might have in store for us this week!
September 1st: Still scared of the Rays.
September 4th: Whoa, naked guy in the Wrigley bathroom!
September 7th: Think it's funny that Antonio Cromartie can't name his kids? Well, I think it's just sad, and I bet Paul Krugman agrees with me. Shame on you all.
September 13th: You can't order chili at Chili's? IS THIS SOME KIND OF SICK JOKE?!
September 17th: Tenacity, Brett Favre. You have it!
September 18th: Max Hall really showed me something with that goal line fumble right there. Shade of Warner.
September 24th: I think Donta Stallworth is ready to contribute to the Ravens. After all, he told me he only had three beers the night he killed that one guy with his Bentley. Odd that his BAC completely contradicts that claim. But that's sports for you. Always such a gray area.
October 6th: Think the Pats traded Randy Moss because of a fight with Bill Belichick. TOTAL LIE, I've been told by a Patriots official, who assures me the fight never happened, and that Robert Kraft once revived an AIDS baby to full health merely by kissing its forehead.
October 8th: You want someone to talk about the human race with? You talk with Ernie Accorsi.
October 14th: Think you have to travel a lot for your job? Bob Papa just flew to three cities in one week and took a bus to Scranton! I'm starting to think he's the star of "Multiplicity 2: Papa in the 'City"!
October 19th: Holy crap, did you know they still buried people at Arlington National Cemetary? Remind me to go back to the Anne Frank House to see if there are still some Jews under the floorboards! NOW THAT WOULD HAVE MADE IT AN EXHIBIT.
October 24th: You know, the City of United (Airlines) Bears could be a playoff team if Jay Cutler just doesn't throw picks! And if he doesn't gash out during a playoff game. But I can't imagine that ever happening. Tough kid. Raised right.
November 1st: When you consider the season Tom Brady is having, and that he's doing it bicoastally by flying in a private jet every other weekend to go fuck his supermodel wife, you have to be in awe.
November 11th: What would we ever do without recycling? Or hair nets, for that matter?
November 17th: Call me nuts, but I still say Willie Colon is exactly the 48th best player in the NFL.
November 18th: Bad coaching, bad special teams, and mindless turnovers aside, you don't want to play the Chargers in Wichita.
November 28th: Bob Ryan to me: "Lions? More like lyin' down!" Gotta love him.
November 34th: There is NO best team in this league! Except for New England. But name me five #1 teams after that. You can't.
December 2nd: Matt Ryan! YOU'RE OF AGE.
December 10th: Do you people not understand that Peyton Manning has NOTHING to work with right now, expect for Pierre Garcon and Reggie Wayne, who are both above average wideouts any other team would like to have? The man is STARVING.
December 17th: Now here is something I didn't know about tailgating: sometimes people call a game called "Beer pong": where a ping pong ball is thrown into a beer cup and you have to drink it. The iPad Generation, I suppose. Glad this game was invented well after my kid went to Colgate! She only played Beirut, which I'm told was some sort of tea party simulation.
December 23rd: Rams in first? NO THAT'S NOT A MISPRINT.
December 27th: Back on the Acela, ooh/ahhing my way home to Fall Foliageville. I am more than alive. I'm PETERLIVE.
December 29th: Another great night in the NBC viewing room with my guys Rodney and Tony. As in Harrison and Dungy? As in NFL legends? As in, there's free Ferrero Rocher in the viewing room too? TELL ME I EARNED IT.
December 30th: How can you be out of eggnog, Cumberland Farms?
February 7th: Packers are champs of the sleety Dallas moonscape! Now let me explain to you just how much warmer it was in Vancouver today. AND TO THINK A SUPER BOWL WILL BE PLAYED IN NEW JERSEY. IT IS CRIMINAL. The GALL of these people.

Harnett County Man Pleads Guilty To State Tax Charge
Date: August 13, 2013
RALEIGH – A Lillington man pleaded guilty Tuesday in Wake County Superior Court to a felony charge filed by the North Carolina Department of Revenue.
Antron Lasalle McLean, 29, of 1405 South 4th Street, Lillington, pleaded guilty on August 13, 2013 to one count of Obtaining Property by False Pretenses.
Superior Court Judge Reuben Young sentenced McLean to an eight-month minimum, ten month maximum prison term. The sentence was suspended and McLean was placed on supervised probation for 36 months. He was ordered to timely and accurately file his North Carolina tax returns, pay restitution of $629.00, and perform 25 hours of community service per week until he is employed full-time or becomes a student.
Information presented in court showed that McLean filed a false North Carolina individual income tax return for the tax year 2009 representing that he was employed by a local business and had North Carolina income taxes withheld from his wages, when in fact he was not employed by the business and did not have the taxes withheld by the company. The return deceived the Department of Revenue and caused the state to give him credit for payment of individual income tax withholdings that he was not entitled to receive.The charges against McLean resulted from an investigation by a special agent with the Department's Criminal Investigations Section in Raleigh.

Found this calendar in a box lot of newspapers at an estate auction. From what I have been able to find out it is an original 1929 Coca Cola Calendar. Was wondering if I am correct and what it might be worth. The frame we have in right now is a Coca Cola frame from the 80's. Thanks for all your help.

Writing Project #4: Analytical Writing (parts of a whole)
English 1301
The objective of this assignment is to identify and describe the parts that make up the whole. You should construct an analysis of a subject from any area of your academic life, preferably from your major. Choose a complex subject that you would like to look at in depth and about which you think you have insights to offer. In writing, analyze the topic you selected by breaking down its components, describing and explaining what they are and how they function, outlining how each piece works in conjunction with the others, and offering insights into the subject. For example, a business major might write about customer driven marketing or using technology to manage information, a biology major might write about meiosis or light reactions, or a political science major might write about bureaucracies or a particular judicial system.
Though the primary purposes of the paper are to analyze and inform, you should use synthesis to achieve these purposes. It is expected that you will use many source texts to explain your topic and that you will synthesize and interpret the information you find in source texts as they relate to this topic. Remember, there is no synthesis if you are not drawing from multiple sources.
As with all of the essays in this course, this essay is not about your position, but instead should remain focused on informing the reader and demonstrating a deeper understanding of your topic by closely looking at the pieces that constitute the whole.
In Writing Project #4, your process should look something like:
· Focus on a complex, academic subject
· Conduct library research to find multiple books
· Identify a topic that can be analyzed as parts to whole
· Identify the most useful details and relevant information related to your research that can be drawn from the source texts
· Provide a thorough explanation of important parts and how they relate to one another (Keep the writing focused on how the parts relate to the whole)
· Find more sources as needed, at this stage, articles may be more appropriate than books
Your essay should include the following parts:
· Introduction: this is where you explain why it is important to understand this complex issue in more detail and foreshadow the parts you will discuss.
· Body: In the body paragraphs, you may accomplish a strong analysis in a number of ways. First, you should define the pieces/subcomponents of the whole well. Second, you may need to describe how each individual piece is important in isolation, as well as how it is important in relation to other pieces, and finally how the piece/subcomponent is important in relation to the whole. In the body paragraphs you may also wish to use compare and contrast and cause/effect to show the inter-workings of your topic
· Conclusion: this is where you round up your essay. Be sure to recapitulate your thesis and return to the importance of a deeper understanding of your topic.
Example for this writing:
The Analyzing of a Website
The first website was created by Tim Berners-Lee in 1991. Tim Berners-Lee explained the concept of Internet, and taught people how to build a website (Cohen, 2005, p. 3). When we use the modern points of view to look over the website, the first website was ugly because there were no pictures or videos on the pages; even the font was dull and colorless. There is a fact that the development of websites is very fast, today there are hundreds of millions websites, and all of these websites have rich media such as pictures, colors, and videos (David, 2010, p. 4). Nobody can count the accurate number of how many websites in the world because this number is as huge as the stars in the sky, and the number is growing every minute. Also it is important for people to learn more about website because we use website every day in every field. We can go shopping on Amazon, get education on Khan Academy, get information on Youtube, and chat with friends on Facebook. All of these are website, so understand deeply about websites has benefit to people. The following essay will focus on the four parts which are HTML, CSS, PHP, and databases of websites, and how these four parts construct the entire websites in the world.
HTML is the abbreviation of HyperText Markup Language of the World Wide Web, and it used 30 years from the earliest version HTML1.0 to HTML 5.0 which is the latest and greatest version (Devlin, 2012, p. 4). For a website designer and programmer, HTML is the basic skill for them to master. Unlike PHP that works on the web server, HTML works on the user's browser. It means that no matter what device is used, if it has a browser like Chrome or Internet Explorer, it can run HTML (Davis & Phillips, 2006, p. 10). An example of this that iPhone can watch Youtube on Safari web browser without Flash because of the HTML5. HTML 5 is the latest version, and the video tag is a new HTML elements added in HTML 5. Because of this element, a user can watch video or listen to music on any mobile device such as iPad, Kindle fire, and iPhone (Pfeiffer, 2010, p. 1). Besides the video element, the main use of HTML is to create the basic page for the website. PHP, CSS, and database are all based on this page which created was by the HTML.
PHP is one of the most popular web programming languages. According to an official report from The PHP Group, in the end of 2006, there were more than 20 million websites created by PHP (Vaswani, 2007, p. 2). PHP supports the function of a website, such as when we buy something, and put it into the online cart, that online cart is a function. Vikram Vaswani, the author of PHP Programming Solutions said "I've always believed the reason for PHP's popularity to be fairly simple: It has the unique distinction of being the only open-source server-side scripting language that's both easy to learn and extremely powerful to use" (Vaswani, 2007, p. 1). PHP is easy to learn and easy to use, and it also can be used in the large-scale. There are some famous websites that used PHP to build which functions such as Amazon, Twitter, and parts of Yahoo. Compared with HTML and CSS use tags and markup on the browser, PHP code runs on the web-server, and processes the data between HTML and database (Davis & Phillips, 2006, p. 10).
Cascading Style Sheets is called CSS by the web designers and programmers, and this is a computer language used to control the appearance of webpage. If a website looks pretty and friendly, there must have been a programmer who is good at CSS (David, 2010, p. 61). The CSS rules are created and updated by the World Wide Web Consortium which is an organization to create standards for the website. Through the years, beginning in 1998, CSS experienced CSS1.0, CSS2.0, and the latest version CSS3.0. Developers use this language to create diverse, and amazing webpages. Davis and Phillips said "Designers and users can create style sheets that define how different elements, such as headers and links, appear on the website" (Davis & Phillips, 2006, p. 9). This sentence shows how CSS works, and what the CSS is used for. In fact, the Cascading Style Sheets is a document that has the same essence as HTML because both of them use the different values of tags to work (Devlin, 2012, p. 116). For example, in the Cascading Style Sheets, <font> is a tag and it means the property of font, and it has lots of values like size, color, and alignment. Sometimes, the new programmer cannot identity which is HTML or CSS because they are too similar, and both of them are written in the document.
When people talk about HTML, they always talk about CSS at the same time. Also lots of books or journals about HTML always mention CSS. If the developer only uses HTML, PHP, and databases in the website, the website will be useful and each function will work well, but it might be very boring because of the lack of CSS. Like Matthew David, the author of HTML5 Designing Rich Internet Applications said in the book "The web is not a forgiving place for a designer. By themselves, HTML elements on a page look boring." (David, 2010, p. 61). The Cascading Style Sheets was created in 1998, the first webpage was created in 1991, and that is the reason why the first website looks so ugly. Now, with the help of Cascading Style Sheets, website can have amazing appearances.
HTML, PHP, and CSS are important to the website, but most importantly, databases which were developed in the 1990s help the designer and programmer to store all the data and show the data on the webpage (Vaswani, 2007, p. 367). Also the database can store the codes such as HTML, PHP, and CSS, so big companies are willing to spend millions of dollars to take care of the data. There are lots of databases in the world, such as Sun Oracle, MySQL, Microsoft Access, IBM DB2, and so on (Vaswani, 2007, p. 368). All of these databases have one primary function which is to store the data. Like Churcher who is a current instructor at Lincoln University states, data is the most important to the website, so lots of companies are willing to hire someone who is good at maintaining databases and willing to pay the high salary (2007, p. 1). Right now, MySQL is the most popular database on the Internet and there are some reasons that cause this (Davis & Phillips, 2006, p.5). First, MySQL has a high performance and is updated by the Open Sources Society every month. As one of the open sources software, everyone can download the core codes of MySQL, and makes it better and better (Davis & Phillips, 2006, p. 6). Second, MySQL is free software. Because of these advantages of MySQL, it was used by 43.4% websites in the world such as Twitter, Youtube, Google, and Facebook (Churcher, 2007, p. 3). Unfortunately, in January 2008, Oracle's parent company Sun Microsystems bought MySQL for $1 billion. The owners of websites are upset because they do not know if Sun Microsystems will close this open source software or not. The critics of the Internet do not have optimism for this business deal, and they agree that Sun Microsystems will update MySQL slowly because of the Oracle. Michele E. Davis and Jon A. Phillips, who are the authors of Learning PHP & MySQL, which is regard as a bible by web designers and web programmers mentioned "MySQL 5.0 provides performance that is comparable to any of the much more expensive enterprise databases such as Oracle, Informix, DB2 (IBM), and SQL Server (Microsoft)" (Vaswani, 2007, p. 368).
As the most important part of websites, MySQL has a deep connection with the other parts. Like Davis and Phillips who are the authors of Learning PHP & MySQL, state that the learners always learn these two parts at the same time (Davis & Phillips, 2006, p. 2). PHP and MySQL work well together, and both of them are open source and they have community support. Also, they are fast, and this combination does not bog the customer down with unnecessary details. Davis and Phillips also state that "the database of choice for PHP developers is MySQL, which acts like a filing clerk for PHP processed user information" (Davis & Phillips, 2006, p. 3). MySQL is easily accessed from PHP, and they're commonly used together as they work well hand in hand" (Davis & Phillips, 2006, p. 6). The fact is people give a high rating of this combination. Besides PHP, MySQL also has an indivisible relationship with HTML. As this essay described before, HTML supports a variety of forms to the user on the webpage, and PHP give the function to the webpage. When the user types on the webpage, all of the information will be sent to the database. For Internet companies, the users' data are the most important things. So they pay more attention on their database system (Churcher, 2007, p. 1).
All in all, websites are the main part of the Internet; they make a huge contribution to our society, and make our life easy. HTML, PHP, CSS, and database create the website together, and each of them is important to the whole website: HTML is a basic language for designer to master, PHP makes the functions, CSS controls the appearance, and databases store the data. A perfect website cannot work well without any one of these four parts. Also, the Internet will be more and more important in the future, so it is important for people to know deeply about the website because it is good for users to use better on the websites.

Category: romantic names
Guest blogger Jasmine Almeida has come up with a novel source of baby names: your own wedding day.
Maybe it was the Pearl detailing on my dress, perhaps it was the Lacey accents on my veil. Or it could have been the gorgeous amnesia Rose bouquet I held as I walked down the aisle. But my guess is, it was marrying the love of my life last summer that got me thinking about how many gorgeous names there are in the world of weddings. Being a freelance writer who focuses on weddings, I tend to look at words related to them a lot – and couldn't help but get inspired by the many beautiful baby name possibilities that spring forth from weddings.
Of course, there are the flower names, to which I'm partial because my own name is Jasmine and one of my puppies is Daisy. Naming a daughter after the flower you held in your bouquet on your wedding day is a sweet and sentimental reason for choosing a name like Calla, Daisy, Dahlia, Iris, or Lily, or the more general floral names like Flora or Florence.
If you've gone wedding dress shopping, you're probably familiar with the range of stunning designer dresses available. Naming a baby girl after your dress's designer would be another romantic way of infusing your wedding-day memories into your naming process. A few favorites? Vera (after legendary gown designer Vera Wang), Paloma, (Paloma Blanca gowns are spectacular) or Priscilla (of Boston, of course). Monique (lhuillier), Sophia, (Trolli) or Elie (Saab) are all elegant names as well as legendary wedding gown designers.
Since April is National Poetry Month, this seems like a perfect time to revisit some of the most poetic of baby names. We've already seen starbabies named Poet (Soleil Moon Frye), Sonnet (Forest Whitaker), Auden (Noah Wyle), Tennyson (Russell Crowe), and of course any number of Dylans (traceable back to poet Thomas), not to mention a growing profusion of Emersons.
By some quirk of fate — or maybe it's prophecy fulfillment – poets in general seem to have more poetic surnames than prose writers do. Here are some poet-name possibilities:
Let's say you like the basic concept of a place name, but you're not so thrilled when it's tied to the image of a specific locale. If, for example, you're thinking Tulsa sounds like a nice, friendly, easygoing, Western name– but then suddenly the image of Oklahoma oil fields spring to mind, or say you think Trenton might be the perfect boy's name—if it weren't for the New Jersey connection.
There is one way around this. You could consider place names that are no longer on the map, either because of a name change, possibly for political reasons, or because the place itself disappeared—or may have never even existed at all.
Here, some romantic, faraway examples, mostly with non-specific images:
ALBION—old poetic name for England
ANGLIA—Latin name of England
ANNAM—historic name for part of Vietnam
ARABY—old poetic name for Arabia
ATRIA –ancient city in central Italy
ATLANTIS—legendary island supposed to have sunk into the Atlantic
AVALON-another legendary island, this one featured in the Arthurian tales (though one still exists in California)
BRIXIA—the ancient Latin name of the modern Northern Italian city of Brescia
CANTON—Chinese city now called Guangzhou
CARAL –a Peruvian settlement considered the most ancient city of the Americas
CEYLON—old name of Sri Lanka
Romantic names for girls – loosely defined as creative and elaborate names that suggest an earlier era and a Latinate emotionality – have become more fashionable in recent years. As we grow more comfortable with the notion of equality for girls, we may also become confident enough to give our daughters elaborately feminine names rather than having to make our point with androgynous, modern monikers like Blair or Blake.
Of course, not every romantic name is a feminist statement. These names may just feel fresh again after decades of sleeker, more straightforward girls' names like Mary and Betty, Karen and Lisa. Even Jennifer and Ashley pale in the face of these flagrantly feminine names.
The rise of Isabella and Sophia to the Top 10 means that Romantic Names are now mainstream. Some choices further off the beaten track:
Last week we unearthed twenty long lost literary girls' names–some of which have rarely been used outside of books, plays and poetry– and now we turn to the boys' equivalents. The diverse sources of these creative baby names range from Shakespeare to Stoppard– and be aware that, as before, the characters who bear them are not necessarily paragons of virtue.
ARKADY. A Russian saint's name from the Greek meaning "from Arcadia," it belongs to a genteel character in Turgenev's Fathers and Sons and a much less benign one in Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment, and is also a key figure in Gorky Park by Martin Cruz Smith.
BALTHAZAR, the name of one of the three wise men, is scattered throughout literature, from Shakespeare 's plays to the rambunctious title character of J P Donleavy's The Beastly Beatitudes of Balthazar B.
BEALE. Beale Farange is the heroine's father in Henry James' What Maisie Knew; it's a surname that comes from the French meaning "handsome."
CLAUDIO. A Shakespearean favorite, appearing in both Much Ado About Nothing and Measure for Measure; it's a Latin clan name meaning "lame"–one of those literal meanings that can be ignored in the modern world.
DUNCAN. Duncan Idaho is the brave hero of Frank Herbert's classic fantasy series Dune. It's a Scottish name meaning "brown warrior" and a nameberry favorite, despite some people's association with Dunkin' Donuts.
FLINT. A legendary pirate–and also a parrot–in Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. A strong, modern-sounding word name.
