Teacher question:
I've taught literacy and literacy courses in every grade from K-graduate school. I take the view that synthetic phonics taught directly and systematically is essential to any literacy program. However, we also propose that teachers be given the training an option to use analytic phonics when, after reasonable attempts of using direct instruction, the synthetic phonics approach fails a particular child. I recognize that currently virtually no one is doing it that way. At the moment my criticism of systematic synthetic phonics is not that is shouldn't be done, it should. Rather it is that the way it is being done in many places is taking up far too much instructional time. Is there a middle ground that would help teachers help students? I await your answer.
Shanahan response:
Forty-eight years ago, I was taking my first-course in reading instruction. I had spent the previous fall tutoring reading in an inner-city classroom in Pontiac, Michigan. I wasn't planning on becoming a teacher, but the teaching experience had intrigued me and I wanted to know more.
One of the things that I was taught in that first class was that there were two kinds of phonics instruction: synthetic and analytic. These were supposedly very different in learning outcomes and the only reasonable approach, we were told, was analytic phonics. I knew nothing to refute any of those definitions or claims, so dutifully recorded it all in my notes.
Basically, synthetic phonics taught children the letter-sound correspondences and then had kids synthesizing words by blending the sounds for each of the letters or letter combinations. So, I know that b makes /b/, and a makes /?/ and t makes /t/… so it is buh- ?-tuh… buh-?-tuh… /bat/.
Analytic phonics, on the other hand, focused on combining larger sound units (such as word families or phonograms: ab, ack, ad, ag, am, an, ap, at, etc.) or using known words as analogies for figuring out words… I already know the words big and rat and here is a new word bat… so it starts out like /b/ig and ends up like r/at/… so it must be/bat/.
The reason for the claim that analytic phonics was better was it supposedly was showing students a process more like the one that they would actually use to read, and it wasn't messed up by all those extra vowel sounds that synthetic phonics was plagued by (it is impossible to pronounce most consonants without adding a vowel, hence the added "uh"s above for the /b/ and /t/ sounds).
Then I became a first-grade teacher.
I taught my analytical phonics lessons, following all the steps I had been taught… and my kids—well some of my kids—did fine. And, others… they struggled to make sense of it. They weren't resistant. They were trying to learn what I was teaching, but it was just too complicated or too abstract for several of these 6-year-olds. Instead of seeing these words that I was teaching as great analogies for unknown word pronunciations, they just seemed confused by it all.
Let's face it: It's a lot easier to teach that "b" is /b/ than that this word big is /big/ and the first letter of that makes the first sound that you hear in /big/ and that the first letter in bat is the "b" and it probably makes the first sound that you… ah, to hell with it!
So I started to "cheat."
Because they were having trouble I started "simplifying" my instruction—in other words, I started teaching synthetic phonics lessons to them and that seemed to help. I came to see this as a useful expedient... teach synthetic phonics to get kids started more easily.
Fast forward 28 years... I'm on the Alphabetics committee of the National Reading Panel. We review the 38 existing experimental studies on teaching phonics in grades K-12.
We found that systematic phonics instruction was best. Please note the highlighted word. It is amazing how many phonics proponents sound it out it as saying "synthetic." (I've considered suggesting syllabication lessons to help them to sound out multi-syllable words).
What we meant by systematic is an explicit phonics curriculum—teachers should be following an explicit regiment rather than trying to teach phonics skills as kids seemed to need them or to teach phonics by discovery. We didn't conclude that there was a particular sequence that was best, only that there was a need for some well-planned sequence.
What did we find out about synthetic phonics versus analytic phonics?
There was a higher effect size associated with teaching synthetic phonics than analytic phonics. In other words, across these studies, the kids who were taught synthetically did somewhat better on various reading measures (kids seemed to get a greater learning payoff from the simpler approach). However, that difference wasn't statistically significant (meaning that it could just be a chance occurrence that a difference of that size was obtained). Perhaps, with a larger number of studies that size of superiority could be attributed to the difference between synthetic and analytic phonics—and perhaps with more studies things would have just balanced out. But who knows.
What I am saying is that across 38 studies there was no clear difference in effectiveness between synthetic and analytic phonics (which angers both some of my phonics fans who are certain that synthetic is best, as well as some of my progressive pals who act as if I'd squandered the family jewels). But based on my personal teaching experiences, I would start out with synthetic approaches because I think they are easier for some kids to make sense of.However, while I would definitely start with synthetic (or I would insert some synthetic instruction into my analytic program as needed), at some point kids should be analyzing the similarities and differences in words (and this analysis should consider both phonemic and morphological features and should address the pronunciation, spelling, and meaning implications of these patterns).
The big take away from my years of experience with this argument:
If kids are having trouble learning something, simplify it.
No matter what your beliefs about the complications of learning the alphabetic system, we are teaching it to young children. Simplifying things to get them started makes a lot of sense—and synthetic approaches are relatively simple.
However, if kids are having trouble applying something that they have learned, then you need to complicate it.
When children know their phonics skills but are still struggling to figure out how to read or spell words, then working with word analogies and making sure that they are thinking hard about the alternative pronunciations of spelling patterns (bread, break, bead) or the alternative spellings of particular pronunciations is the way to go. (The same can be said about adding something like repeated reading or other oral fluency training procedures to the phonics program; such training helps kids to apply their already-learned phonics skills).
The idea of combining synthetic and analytic phonics instruction violates no research that I'm aware, and if done right, may help more kids to succeed. Godspeed.
See what others have to say about this topic.
Nice article! Thanks.
What approach would be recommended for students who are dual language learners? Students with home languages of Spanish or English who are learning to read in both languages at the same time (English and Spanish).
I'd still include phonics, with a bit of special attention to those few sounds that differ between Spanish and English. Spanish is one of the most transparent languages in the world so phonics is a no brained there. Research shows that Spanish speakers learning English benefit from phonics too.
Thank you for confirming that we need to focus on what is important, making decisions on the needs of the reader and not a program.
Nicely Done! Two of the major players in the literacy world are each about to launch their own version of a phonics program (F&P and Calkins). Have you had a chance to look at either yet? How would you characterize them, analytic, synthetic, a blend of each or ???? ? Looking forward to your answer.
I appreciate the clarity of your discussion. My attention was piqued by the following statement:
If kids are having trouble learning something, simplify it....However, if kids are having trouble applying something that they have learned, then you need to complicate it.
I can think of many ways to apply this principle, in other subjects as well. I'm going to hang on to this one!
Leave me a comment and I would like to have a discussion with you!

Labour is set to perform a dramatic economic policy U-turn by voting against Chancellor George Osborne's plans to force future governments to operate a budget surplus, according to reports.
According to the BBC, shadow chancellor John McDonnell has told MPs the party will oppose the measure in a vote in the House of Commons on Wednesday. He previously suggested Labour would support the Government's proposals.
McDonnell said by doing this Labour would "underline our position as an anti-austerity party".
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, former Labour shadow chancellor Chris Leslie said: "To go from one extreme to the other is wrong in economic terms but also it sends the wrong message to the general public as well."
"I think to be fair to John McDonnell this is a very difficult balancing act, it's a very difficult topic, but it's incredibly important that he is clear and consistent and explains fully not just what Labour's position is but also why he backed George Osborne's surplus a couple of weeks ago and is now against it apparently."
Wednesday's debate will see MPs vote on Osborne's Charter for Budget Responsibility, a measure that would legally block future governments spending more than they receive in tax revenues when the economy is growing.

GBI Arrests Three Suspects in Shooting Death of Deputy U.S. Marshal
Ludowici, GA – Three suspects have been arrested in the shooting death of Deputy United States Marshal Patrick Thomas Carothers. Carothers was shot and killed by Dontrell Montese Carter on November 18, 2016 while serving an arrest warrant. Carter was killed when officers returned fire. Carter, 25, was wanted for attempted murder of police officers, domestic violence, and unlawfully discharging a weapon during an incident in September 2016 in Sumter County, South Carolina.
The Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force had tracked Carter to a residence in Allenhurst, Georgia located in Long County. At the residence where Carter was hiding, law enforcement also made contact and interviewed Ashley Chavon Roberts, Levy Lewis Jenkins, and Jeremy Lance Lewis. The investigation into Carothers' murder found the three committed acts which hindered Carter's capture.
As a result, Roberts, 24, Jenkins, 34, and Lewis, 32, have each been charged with one count of Hindering Apprehension or Punishment of Criminal (felony) and one count of Felony Murder in Carothers' death (see attached arrest warrants).
The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Atlantic Judicial Circuit District Attorney's Office also assisted in the investigation.

Once the piece has completely dried you need to lightly sand off any grain that has been raised by the water based dye. You could mix the dye in denatured alcohol to prevent grain raising but it has been shown that alcohol based dyes tend to fade over time. I use 220 grit sandpaper on a sanding block to eliminate any grain that has been raised making sure not to cut to deeply into the dye and not to lighten the edges too much. Once this is done I again use compressed air and a microfiber tack cloth to clean the piece.
The left side rubbed out, the right side just the base dye.
After rubbing out the gel stain.
After placing felt pads on the bottom to protect my hardwood floor the Limbert #254 umbrella stand is ready to replace that old umbrella stand that I never really was happy with. Now I am one piece closer to filling my house with handmade high quality furniture.

Happy Saturday Arvo, everyone! Today's vid is by the lovely Angelina, who talks about the notion of the "fake geek girl".
A "fake geek girl" is a female fan (said to be conventionally attractive but, like other misogynist labels, can be applied to any female) who pretends to enjoy a particular facet of geek culture (comics, games, etc) for the attention of boys. While I'm sure that the amount of attention-seeking females is nonzero (and probably just as many as the number of attention-seeking males), the idea that just because a girl is both attractive and enjoys geek culture means that she's "faking it", is, clearly, ridonkulous.
The only thing I have to add though, is this hilarious post that came across my dash on tumblr one day:
Anyhoos, here's the video!

|Quilted wall hanging with lights
The first step in adding lights to a quilt is to sew eyelets onto the quilt where you want the lights to go. Count how many bulbs are in your strand of lights, and that's how many eyelets you will need to stitch. On my machine I have can vary the size of the eyelet stitch, and I found that a 7mm eyelet is just perfect. For my witch hat wall hanging, I used an embroidery design that had eyelets as part of the design. I wasn't able to control the placement of the eyelets, but I couldn't resist the fun hat!
|7mm eyelet holes
Sew the eyelets onto your quilt top, then make your quilt sandwich, quilt it, (add a hanging sleeve), bind it and then you are ready to cut out the holes for the lights.
To cut the holes you will need a grommet/eyelet hole punch kit. (Mine came as part of a button hole kit). The kit comes with the punch tool and a small mat.
|Eyelet hole punch kit
|Cutting the holes
|Eyelets with holes cut out
|Clean the tool
|Be sure to use fray check on the back
|Lights that I used
|Open package of lights
Untangle and lay your lights out on the back of the quilt with the control box at the bottom of the area where the lights are to be placed.
|Untangle the lights
Push the bulbs through each hole. You will need to use a little bit of pressure to get the lights to slide through the holes. But remember fabric stretches so they will fit.
|Push lights through the holes
|Back of quilt.
|Push fabric down around lights
This is what the bulbs look like once the O-rings are on.
|O-rings in place
|Control box with sticky velcro
Tip: I have found that the sticky velcro doesn't stick to the quilt very well, and over time the box just hangs there. It's not heavy enough to tug on the lights and remove them, but if your wall hanging is going to be on a door (that opens and closes a lot) then I would suggest using some carefully placed hand stitches to secure that velcro in place.
And now the moment you've been waiting for!! Turn the lights on, hang your quilt and enjoy!!

Draft paper for 'Reading Michel Foucault in the Postcolonial Present: A Symposium', University of Bologna, Italy, March 3-4, 2011,
Professor David Chandler
This paper engages with Foucault's critical exploration of shifts and transformations in liberal frameworks of governmental rationality to consider how our understanding of the human subject has been transformed within development discourses. here.
In today's dominant conceptualization of human-centered approaches to development, individual autonomy or freedom is the central motif for understanding the problematic of development. Human agency has been placed at the centre and is increasingly seen to be the measure of development, in terms of individual capabilities. The individualized understanding of development takes a rational choice perspective of the individual or 'the agent-orientated view' (Sen 1999: 11). This paper seeks to critically engage with the view of the human and of human agency articulated within this approach. In this discourse, development is taken out of an economic context of GNP growth or industrialization, or a social and political context, in which development policies are shaped by social and political pressures or state-led policies. Foucault's work on the disappearance or invisibility of power, particularly as articulated through the shift towards biopolitical frameworks of liberal governmentality – focusing on the irreducible decision-making subject – 'the rationality of the governed' (2008: 312) will be used to critically engage with Sen. This paper genealogically draws out the changing nature of western discourses of development and the understanding of policy practices as promoting the empowerment of the post-colonial other in order to examine how development and autonomy have been radically differently articulated in discourses of Western power and how today's discursive framing feeds on and transforms colonial and early post-colonial approaches to the human subject.

Hello CuraGlammers,
If you guys follow me on Facebook you might have already seen a video or a picture run around of the Bridal Runway. Today I'm going to write about my experience since the casting took place.
Bridal Runway is a show that will be taking place on May 4th, 2013 at the Renaissance Resort.
G!EMPIRE and Celebrations made a collaboration this to make the show possible. It is a new concept that they brought to the table and till now it's a great success.
When I heard of this event I mailed them as a blogger to cover the whole event & behind the scenes.
Well I got a warm welcome to join and I was really happy with their reaction.
As any runway show there was a casting that took place to choose a couple of models. It was a casting where everyone, of any age and any body size, could have cast.
The casting took place on March 24th, 2013 at Teatro Luna Blou. When I arrived they asked me if I wanted to be a judge. I was so happy to get this chance.
Being the judge gave me a chance to work with the producer Gwendell Mercelina, the make-up artist Franceen Dembow, the face behind Celebrations Marilse Statie, a model Norayla Fransisco and many more.
It was allot of fun to get to know them and letting them know who I was and my blog.
|Properties of Extra.
It's a pity that I won't be on the Island the day of the show itself, but my partners R&S Photography will sure be capturing the moments of the event.
I would love for you guys to check the video out and tell me what your thoughts are.

Annual Report 2018
We've had a great year!
The Council of Park Friends (CPF) helps maintain, preserve, and interpret the exquisite natural settings of the State Parks of central New York. Begun in 1980, CPF was organized to promote appreciation of the Parks as educational resources. Among the early trail blazers was Mildred Faust whose botany course at Syracuse University used Clark Reservation State Park as a classroom. She is honored today by a kiosk at Clark provided with the support of CPF.
CPF operates the Nature Center at Clark Reservation. Our Naturalists offer programming on the botany, geology, and wildlife of the park through a series of scheduled events. Special requests by school groups, seniors, youth and those with special needs are met as well. The core function of CPF is nature education. We partner with like-minded groups dedicated to preserving the natural environment and informing the public on environmental issues. Our newsletter, The Clark Chronicle is published twice-yearly and sent to all CPF members.
We've had a great year!
Meet our 2018 Naturalist, Jeffrey Capomaccio, in this summer issue of the Clark Chronicle! You'll also find a list of his planned events.
This year we had a first for First Day Hike-we had to postpone it! The temperature was predicted to be below zero with the windchill factor.
Including articles about a Historical find in Oswego, The Fern Crew, Camp Groups, Fall Activities, our Monarch Waystation, and more!
Baby its cold outside! But that didn't stop the 360 visitors to Clark Reservation State Park in Jamesville this New Year's Day. 2015 marks the fourth year the New York State Park system has sponsored walks at over 20 parks and this year saw the addition of free fleece hats and commemorative stickers for participants who pre-registered with their park.

Ordering Event Tickets Online? 6 Tips to Get Great Deals Before They're Gone
Broadway shows, sports games and concerts are all special events that require tickets to attend. Prior to the Internet, getting those tickets usually required being on the phone for an extended amount of time or standing in line for hours on end in front of a box office. Fortunately, because the majority of ticket sales have shifted online, those time-consuming activities are no longer necessary. Instead, it's possible to order your tickets while you're relaxing at home in front of your laptop, or even while you're on the go with your phone or tablet.
While you're probably not going to find many people who would argue that the previous methods of purchasing tickets are easier than doing it online, the most common complaint people do have is that the Internet has increased ticket scalping. Even though ticket sellers have controls in place to prevent this type of activity, it's still possible for unscrupulous individuals to drive up prices. And in the case of really popular events, scooping up a good deal can require a bit of savviness.
Fortunately, once you know the best approach to take, you'll find that not only is ordering tickets online a convenient experience, but it's also the best way to come across an appealing price. So, now that you know why to make your orders online, here are the tips you need to get the most out of this process:
Service Charges are Part of the Experience
Before we dive deeper into tips, it's worth touching on this subject. The reason is people often expect to come across certain prices, only to be disappointed when their final order is noticeably higher. Service charges are the cause of that disconnect. For example, if you see an ad about tickets that are going to cost $50 for an event, be aware that service fees can increase the final price by up to forty percent. Although that may seem unfair, the silver lining is there are sites like this one that allow you to compare prices from multiple sources.
Stay Updated About Events You're Interested In
One of the most common reasons people miss out on good deals or securing tickets at all is because they forget when an event is taking place. Since many big concerts and shows are announced long in advance, it's easy to forget about them over the course of a few months. In addition to putting reminders in your calendar, signing up for relevant email lists is also an easy way to be sure nothing slips by you.
Email Lists Can Provide an Extra Incentive
Not only can being on an email list ensure you don't miss an event you really want to attend, but they can also provide an opportunity to get tickets at a reduced price. While not every event has a pre-sale period, getting an extra email in your inbox every few weeks is worth having the potential for that opportunity.
Look at the Seating Chart in Advance
If you're trying to get tickets right when the selling window opens, be sure to study the seating chart in advance. Doing a little bit of preparation will allow you to identify any specific areas of a venue that you know you want to avoid (even if the prices for those tickets seem really good).
Be Aware of the Different Prices for Delivery Methods
In many cases, the simplest way to reduce the cost of tickets is to opt for digital delivery. As long as you're going through a reputable seller, you won't need to have any concerns about this type of ticket.
Resellers Aren't Always a Bad or Excessively Expensive Option
In the digital age, there's a big difference between reputable online resellers and traditional scalpers standing in front of an event. If you take the time to find the right sources from the former group, you may be pleasantly surprised by what type of deal you can get even if an event is only right around the corner.
Since we covered a lot of information, if you're worried that you may forget some of the tips, feel free to bookmark this post. Then when the time comes for you to buy tickets for an event, you should have an easy time getting the ones you want at an appealing price.

It is worth bearing in mind that the beautiful women and models from these agencies also have the same desire for privacy as you. Particularly with an agency like China Companion, where many of the models are high end VIPs in their own right, accomplished in their careers, often with a public persona. Others are concerned with privacy for the sake of their companies, or families etc. Sadly, many people have incorrect preconceived ideas about the introduction and escort industry, so privacy is 100% required by most of our lovely models, just as much as it is for you!
We don't work with general or common ladies. All the Beijing Escort women are from upper class backgrounds, with education, careers and reputations to be aware of an protect. They have families, relationships and futures, just like you, which require privacy within their personal lives. These are not the type of women who go out partying wildly, or for whom their conduct is irrelevant. They carry themselves with great elegance and awareness.
This is not about being inauthentic, but about protecting one's personal choices for one's personal life. One's personal life is strictly nobody's business but one's own. And this is solely due to the misconception of society. We all know that there is no difference between an upscale escort and a lady who dates in general – except that one receives an agreed payment, and one receives gifts. In fact some are lucky enough to receive both 😉 Both are free to choose with whom she spends her time, what she does with them, and when she leaves. We are not talking about backstreet cat houses, after all! At this level, one can barely even acquaint an agency like China Companion with the 'escort' industry. However, marketing being what it is… But I digress.
These first class ladies make themselves available to luxury dating with us for fun, or for the chance to be introduced to high quality gentlemen with a view to a future relationship. The girls also have their own reasons for wanting to protect their privacy, just like you. This issue is very important to us, and we take it seriously, as should you. Consider your own desire for privacy, and afford the models the same respect.
Confidentiality agreements work for everyone and are mutually beneficial. You can rest assured there will never be any disclosure of your personal details in any fashion, which would affect your reputation. Any accusation or suggestion of your conduct within our company would be met with the appropriate tasteful response of either silence, or "we've never heard of them".
Once you have established that your details and identity are 100% safe forever, you can book your dates with full confidence, and begin to enjoy the experience, as well as getting the most out of your engagements. Finding the right dating agency offers peace of mind, and you'll soon be able to experience luxury introductions as you should. Contact Beijing Escort Models agency now to assess our privacy practices and begin enjoying dating as it was meant to be; an exchange of positive, beautiful energy and luxury quality companionship, with complete peace of mind.

Beloved teacher who suffered stroke in classroom credits students for saving his life
He may have been scared in the moment, but Milford High School senior William Pointer said it didn't stop him from jumping into action when he noticed his teacher needed medical help.
"I was terrified," said Pointer, 18, of Massachusetts, who has known educator Dennis "Jack" Candini since freshman year. "But I didn't second-guess myself. I needed to get someone who could help with the situation."
On April 27 after 1 p.m., Jack Candini was subbing for a teacher in a food service class when students noticed he was having trouble speaking.
Pointer told ABC News that a few students called 911 while he and another classmate ran next door to alert another teacher, Pam Hennessy, who took control of the scene. Hennessy had the students move the desks and evacuate the room in preparation for EMTs to arrive.
Candini, 71, taught for 32 years at Milford High School before retiring in 2004. He now works as a substitute teacher and continues to coach school sports.
Candini told ABC News the students noticed changes in his face and speech.
"I've no [prior] history of anything and I've been active all my life," Candini said. "When [the stroke] was occurring, I was kind of in denial — that's why the students, I give them so much credit. They trusted their judgement and they stayed on the situation."
According to the Mayo Clinic, there are telltale signs when someone is having a stroke: trouble with speaking and understanding, paralysis or numbness of the face, arm or leg, trouble with seeing in one or both eyes, headache and trouble with walking.
"The length of time they have been present can affect your treatment options," the Mayo Clinic states on its website.
Now recovering, Candini said that he's found a way to show appreciation to his students.
"Not being sure how to thank someone for saving your life, especially a group of young kids–what I've done through the principal and through the school, we are going to do a one-shot scholarship to a senior that hopes to have a major in the medical field as a token of my family's gratitude," Candini said. "It will acknowledge the young people that got involved."
Marian Candini, Jack Candini's wife, said she "doesn't know how to thank" the kids and the community for their support.
"My husband doesn't really like all this publicity, but if it helps saves someone else's life, it's the silver lining," she said. "I feel very blessed and beyond grateful."
Milford High School principal Joshua Otlin said, "We are very thankful that our students responded decisively and effectively in this moment of crisis. Any delays could have had catastrophic consequences for Jack, and our students' decisions made all the difference."
"While I am extremely proud of our students, I'm not at all surprised that they rose to the occasion," he added. "As the principal, I have the pleasure to see and hear about daily acts of kindness and courage from our students and I know that we have a special community of compassionate young adults at Milford High School."
Candini said he hopes to become well enough to proctor next week's state-wide testing at the school and eventually, play hockey again.
William Pointer said it was "amazing" to be involved in saving his teacher's life.
"It's a good feeling," he added.

June 7, 2012 update: The Microsoft Windows Azure team has released a new Windows Azure SDK for PHP. This release is part of an effort to keep PHP client libraries up to date with new Windows Azure features and to make PHP a first-class citizen in Windows Azure. The latest client libraries are on GitHub: https://github.com/WindowsAzure/azure-sdk-for-php. While the SDK hosted on CodePlex will continue to work for the foreseeable future, it is strongly recommended that new PHP/Windows Azure application use the SDK hosted on GitHub.
The work done by Maarten Balliauw and other contributors in building the SDK hosted on CodePlex was critical in unifying the PHP developer experience for Windows Azure. The Windows Azure team is grateful to these contributors for their pioneering work and looks forward to their continued support (and yours!) in adding to the new SDK on GitHub.
The Windows Azure Team
One of the most interesting presentations I attended at the Dutch PHP Conference was a presentation about NoSQL by Matthew Weier O'Phinney. (The slides for his presentation are the same ones he used at TEK-X and are available here:http://is.gd/cQ82f.) I walked away from the presentation with two questions: 1) Under what conditions is it advantageous to use a non-relational data store?, and 2) Is Windows Azure Table Storage a NoSQL data store? I still have some homework to do in answering the first question and to answer the second question I really needed to learn more about Windows Azure Table Storage, which is what I'll cover in this post. Specifically, I'll look at what Windows Azure Table Storage is, how to create a Windows Azure Table Storage account, and how to access the service from PHP.
What is Windows Azure Table Storage?
An overly-simplified answer: Windows Azure Table Storage is structured storage in the cloud provided by the Windows Azure platform. It allows you to create any number of tables, which can each contain any number of entities. Each entity can in turn contain any number of properties. A picture is worth a thousand words here:
Although entities are analogous to rows and properties are analogous to columns (in a relational database), note here that the structure of each entity within a table does not need to be the same (each entity can have different properties and a different number of properties). However, each entity must have a partition key and a row key, which together make up a unique key for an entity within a table. (Each entity also has a timestamp associated with it, which is automatically added for you). Also note that size of all properties combined for a single entity cannot exceed 1 MB.
For a more detailed look at what Windows Azure Table Storage is, read the Windows Azure Table – Programming Table Storage whitepaper here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsazure/whitepapers/.
How do I create a storage account?
To get started you need a Windows Azure subscription, which you can create here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsazure/offers/. (You'll need a Windows Live ID to sign up.) I signed up for the Introductory Special, which allows me to get started for free as long as keep my usage limited. (This is a limited offer. For complete pricing details, see http://www.microsoft.com/windowsazure/pricing/.) After you purchase your subscription, you will have to activate it before you can begin using it (activation instructions will be provided in an e-mail after signing up).
After creating and activating your subscription, go to the Windows Azure Developer Portal, click on your Project Name, then on New Service, and select Storage Account:
Next, provide a Service Label and Description and click Next. Now you will need to provide a globally unique name for your storage account. (Ignore that fact that the UI suggests you are creating a blob store here…you actually get a blob store, a table store, and a queue.) Make note of this name as you will need it when we start writing PHP code.
Next, select the region in which you want your data hosted (if you are interested in Affinity Groups, you can read more here):
Now when you click Create you will get three Endpoints (one each for blob, table, and queue storage), a Primary Access Key, and a Secondary Access Key. You will need your Primary Access Key in the next section.
How do I access Windows Azure Table Storage from PHP?
OK, now for the fun part. Accessing Table Storage via PHP is easy thanks to the Windows Azure SDK for PHP. Start by downloading the SDK, unzipping the package, adding the unzipped folder to your PHP libraries, and adding the library directory to your include_path in your php.ini file. (I put the folder in my PHPLibraries directory and updated my include_path to include C:\PHPLibraries\PHPAzure-1.0.1\library.) Now we are ready to start writing code.
The documentation here will give you a good idea about how to use the SDK, but I thought it would be helpful to build a simple, proof-of-concept application (script attached to this post). I'll walk you through the relevant parts of that application here. (The application stores information about personal and business contacts, and allows you to update, delete, and filter contacts.)
Creating a Table
Creating a table is a simple as creating a new Microsoft_WindowsAzure_Storage_Table object and calling the createTable method. Note that here is where you need your storage account name and Primary Access Key. Also note that I needed to include the Table.php file (I'll explain the entities.php file below):
require 'Microsoft\WindowsAzure\Storage\Table.php';
require 'entities.php';
$storageClient = new Microsoft_WindowsAzure_Storage_Table('table.core.windows.net',
Creating and Inserting an Entity
Here is where the entities.php file that I mentioned earlier comes in. A schema is enforced on entities that are of a type that inherits from the Microsoft_WindowsAzure_Storage_TableEntity class and uses "docblock" style comments for properties. (If you want to create entities that do not have an enforced schema, you should use the Microsoft_WindowsAzure_Storage_DynamicTableEntity class. This will allow you to create entities on the fly that each have different structures - see examples here). So, a class called Contact that inherits from the Microsoft_WindowsAzure_Storage_TableEntity class is defined in the entities.php file :
class Contact extends Microsoft_WindowsAzure_Storage_TableEntity
* @azure Name
public $Name;
* @azure Address
public $Address;
* @azure Phone
public $Phone;
This allows class properties to be mapped to Windows Azure Table properties. The properties inherited from Microsoft_WindowsAzure_Storage_TableEntity include the required partitionKey and rowKey. So, to create and insert and entity, I create a new Contact object (with the partitionKey and rowKey as parameters), set the custom properties, and call the insertEntity method:
$contact = new Contact ($_POST['contacttype'], $_POST['email']);
$contact->Name = $_POST['name'];
$contact->Address = $_POST['address'];
$contact->Phone = $_POST['phone'];
$result = $storageClient->insertEntity('ContactsTable', $contact);
Note that the partitionKey is either 'business' or 'personal' and the rowKey is the person's e-mail address.
Deleting an Entity
Deleting an entity requires first retrieving the entity and then calling the deleteEntity method:
$contact = $storageClient->retrieveEntityById('ContactsTable', $_GET['contacttype'], $_GET['email']);
$storageClient->deleteEntity('ContactsTable', $contact);
Note that the retrieveEntityById method takes the partitionKey and rowKey, which together define the key for an entity.
Updating an Entity
Updating an entity is straightforward if you are only updating custom properties: you simply retrieve the entity (as above), update the properties, and call the updateEntity method. However, there is no way to update the partitionKey and rowKey for an entity – once an entity has been inserted, these are set. So, practically speaking, if you want to update a partitionKey or rowKey, you have to create a new entity and delete the old one. Here's what my code looks like for my simple application:
// Partition keys and row keys cannot be updated, so delete the old entity and create a new one.
if($_POST['oldcontacttype'] != $_POST['contacttype'] || $_POST['oldemail'] != $_POST['email'])
// Delete the old entity.
$oldContact = $storageClient->retrieveEntityById('ContactsTable',
$storageClient->deleteEntity('ContactsTable', $oldContact);
// Create a new entity.
$contact = new Contact ($_POST['contacttype'], $_POST['email']);
$contact->Name = $_POST['name'];
$contact->Address = $_POST['address'];
$contact->Phone = $_POST['phone'];
$result = $storageClient->insertEntity('ContactsTable', $contact);
else //If only custom properties are changed, the entity can be updated.
$contact = $storageClient->retrieveEntityById('ContactsTable', $_POST['contacttype'], $_POST['email']);
$contact->Name = $_POST['name'];
$contact->Address = $_POST['address'];
$contact->Phone = $_POST['phone'];
$storageClient->updateEntity('ContactsTable', $contact);
Filtering Entities
Filtering entities requires creating a query and passing it to the retrieveEntities method. The query can use the gt, lt, eq, ne, ge, or le operators (for 'greater than', 'less than', 'equal to', 'not equal to', 'greater than' or equal to', or 'less than or equal to' respectively) to compare property values with a string. Expressions can also use and and or to create more complex queries. Here's what my code looks like for filtering contact types:
$query = "PartitionKey eq '".$_POST['contacttype']."'";
$contacts = $storageClient->retrieveEntities("ContactsTable", $query, "Contact");
foreach($contacts as $contact)
//Display info in a table.
//See attachment for complete code.
Note that specifying "Contact" as the third parameter in retrieveEntities materializes the returned entities as objects of type Contact.
That's it for today. As I mentioned earlier, the complete code for my example application is attached to this post. Once you create a storage account, you should only need to replace Your_Storage_Account_Name and Your_Primary_Access_Key in the tablestorage.php file and have a working application to play with and (hopefully) learn from. Enjoy!

An Iraqi journalist who was jailed after he threw his shoes at President Bush during a news conference is to be released early.
Muntadhar al Zeidi became a hero across much of the Arab world for his act of defiance last December.
But he was sentenced to three years in an Iraqi prison – reduced to one on appeal – for assaulting a foreign leader.
The 30-year-old will now be freed three months early on September 14 for good behaviour, his lawyer said.
"We have been informed officially about the court decision," Karim al-Shujairi said. "His release will be a victory for the free and honourable Iraqi media."

OK, so you know about soydiesel, the soy product that is helping to reduce our nation's dependency on foreign oil supplies. It's the only alternative fuel to pass Environmental Protection Agency testing specifications, and can be used with no engine or fuel system modifications.
And you know, too, about soy-based printing inks, now used by a third of the nation's newspapers and more than 90 percent of daily newspapers with more than 1,500 circulation. These inks are more environmentally friendly than petroleum-based inks, and paper printed with soy ink can be more effectively recycled.
You may even be aware of soy candles, which come in literally hundreds of sizes, shapes, and scents, and are said to burn cleaner than traditional candles, with no sooty residues.
Or you might have eaten Soynuts, roasted soybeans offered in 15 different flavors.
But how about soy-based shampoos, hair sprays, conditioners, styling gels, moisturizers, and dozens of other hair/personal care products? Yep, you can buy 'em.
And would you believe…socks made from SoySilk fabric, an environmentally friendly fiber that's said to feel like cashmere and is made from remnants of the tofu manufacturing process? The same fiber is used to make Tofu Bears, soft, cuddly Teddy Bear alternatives.
Want a soy-based bed liner for your pickup truck, or fire logs made from soy products and switchgrass?
These and hundreds of more soy products are demonstrating in the marketplace the versatility of the crop that a few decades ago was grown chiefly for forage and even today is thought of by the consumer public mostly as livestock feed and cooking oil.
With the sky-high price of petroleum-based products nowadays, consumers and businesses are looking for alternatives, and in many cases, they're finding soy products can do the job.
All are a source of pride and accomplishment for America's soybean growers, who have, through their checkoff contributions, funded research and development programs that have helped find new uses for their crop, including a myriad of ways for replacing foreign petroleum.
"U.S. soybean farmers are committed to supporting research and development to drive demand for our soybeans," says Todd Allen, West Memphis, Ark., producer who is chairman of the United Soybean Board's New Uses Committee. Examples of soy-based products funded wholly or partially by USB checkoff funds include:
• Natural soybean oil-based waterproofing for low-slope roofing assemblies. It's non-toxic, has superior ultraviolet resistance, and stain/mildew/mold resistance.
• Soy-based waterproofing solutions for masonry, concrete, and other projects involving large surfaces.
• Non-toxic carpet/upholstery cleaners that fight bacteria and allergens and have no harmful additives.
• Interior and exterior cleaners that are environmentally friendly, safe on skin, are non-toxic/biodegradable, and are created from renewable resources.
• BEAN-e-doo, the only bio-based mastic remover to pass both performance and environmental safety tests of the U.S. Postal Service for use nationwide for removal of asbestos-containing materials.
• Unique soy-based adhesives for use in the lumber industry. One, PRF/Soy 2000, gels almost instantly and forms a bond that is stronger than wood itself, in addition to being waterproof, boil-proof, and insect-proof.

Derivative contracts: relevant contracts: options: examples
Examples explaining the definition of 'option'
Example 1
A company buys an over the counter (OTC) oil cap. This is an option product, whose underlying subject matter is crude oil. The contract gives the company the right, but not the obligation, to fix the price of a notional cargo of crude oil at a specified price (the strike price) for a specified period. If the average oil price over the period goes above the strike price, the company will exercise the option. The writer of the option will then make a payment to the company based on the difference between the strike price and the market price of the oil. The crude oil cargo, which forms the underlying subject matter, is purely notional and there is no provision in the contract for any oil to be delivered.
The contract meets the conditions in CTA09/S580(2), so for the purposes of Part 7 CTA09 the contract is classed as a contract for differences (CFD) rather than an option.
Example 2
A company buys an OTC currency option, giving it the right, but not the obligation, to purchase US$1m for £600,000 on a specified future date. At the exercise date, US$1m can be bought for £550,000 in the spot market, so the company does not exercise the option. The contract provides for the delivery of property - the dollars being property for this purpose - so it does not meet the CTA09/S580(2) conditions. It is classified as an option for Part 7 purposes. This would still be the case if, as an alternative to the option writer delivering the dollars, the contract provided for a cash settlement in sterling. It would only be debarred from being an option if gross settlement (i.e. an exchange of dollars for sterling) was not offered at all.
Example 3
Company X issues a security of £100 nominal value, with the following terms: on maturity, the holder of the security is entitled to receive £100 or, if greater, the value of 10 £1 shares in X. The holder has no right to subscribe for, or receive, shares in X as an alternative.
Company X accounts for the security as a host contract (treated as a debtor loan relationship) plus an embedded derivative. For the purposes of CTA09/S652, this derivative is an option, even though it can only be settled in cash. This is because, for the issuer of the security, CTA09/S652(7) construes 'option' as though the restriction in CTA09/S580(2) was omitted.
This means that the statutory provisions (S654 and S655) relevant to options embedded in debtor loan relationships apply in this case, just as they do to a more conventional convertible security where company X may be obliged to transfer or issue shares (see CFM55400 onwards for more about these rules).
Note, however, that there is no such extension of the meaning of 'option' for CTA09/S645, the section dealing with creditor relationships containing embedded options (CFM55220). So the security in this example will not, from the holder's perspective, come within the special rules for convertible securities.

|River Island Black Leather Strap Chelsea Boot
I seem to always find myself on a shoe mission. A pair of Chelsea boots has been on my wish list for some time now, always finding styles that were sold out in my size or just too damn expensive! Yet I just happened to walk into River Island on my lunch break and find these beauties sat there all by themselves. Seeing they were my size and only £20 it took me seconds to whisk them off the shelves and straight over to the till. With my new year challenge these boots are item number 1 of my 12 key pieces for 2012. I want to invest in items I truly love and create a wardrobe with a mix of these key pieces with ethical basics such as organic cotton tees etc.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny's comments on emigration slammed
An Taoiseach Enda Kenny's suggestion that young people are leaving Ireland to "get experience" shows how out of touch he is on the reality of emigration, a Sinn Féin EU election candidate has claimed.
Matt Carthy, Midlands North West EU candidate for Sinn Féin, says young people are being forced out because there are no jobs. "The reality is that many of them will never come back," he added.
Speaking at the Davos Economic Forum Taoiseach Enda Kenny said "many leave to get experience, many leave and go to places around the world and come back with that experience."
"Enda Kenny does not seem to understand the impact that this is having on families and communities across Ireland. A whole generation is leaving. How can any Taoiseach stand over a situation where so many young highly educated people are leaving and do nothing to address it? Does he not see the extent of this problem in his home county of Mayo?
"Enda Kenny doesn't care. Fine Gael doesn't care. The more young people that go, the less bad the unemployment figures look," Mr Carthy responded.
