Growing Wings
This sweet image is from Whoopsie Daisy and I colored her in Copics and sprinkled some white and gold Frantage (since I didn't have fairy dust) around her. She's framed out in a SB die and then mounted on a piece of SU Bashful Blue card stock. The background patterned paper is from "somewhere".
Head on over to Digi Haven to play along in our challenge!
Thanks for stopping by............and have a great weekend!

I'll probably never have wings. But I would settle for her gams! What a cute card. Every time I hear "fairy dust" my mind immediately goes to "The Bird Cage" with Robin Williams and Nathan Lane. It is one my short list of favorite movies! I really do need to try some of that Frantage! Sounds fancy just to say it!
Great bow by the by!

• • • Ron Paul is the real Ayn Rand, Paul Ryan is the impostor
Brent Budowsky, The Hill (Washington, DC) Atlas Shrugged |Paul Ryan | Watching Paul Ryan whine about the injustices of the supposedly evil liberal media, while other conservative and partisan Republicans whine about the supposedly evil rigged liberal polls, I thought of Ayn Rand. Didn't Mitt Romney recently castigate much of the nation for failing to take personal responsibility? Give Ron Paul credit for this: Agree with him or not, at least he does some justice to the philosophy of Rand and the concept of taking responsibility. As for Paul Ryan, if Ayn Rand ever heard Ryan's whining about the media, she would give him a serious spanking and demand a refund of her campaign donation.

This is a linky party from Diana at the Math Coach's Corner. Anyway, when I started thinking about it, I could not pinpoint one math book that was the best I ever read. I absolutely LOVE math and taught 6th grade math (we were departmentalized) for 8 years before going to 4th grade. I always loved math in school and I share that passion with my students using various resources pulled from everywhere. Since I couldn't think of one particular "book" that blew my mind, I started thinking about resources I love to use. One resource that always stood out was Hands-On-Equations.
No, that is not me in the picture. It is the creator of Hands-On-Equations, Dr. Borenson. Here is a nice blog link to a description of the program:
I used this with my 6th graders when learning how to solve equations and it was amazing!! They really got a grasp of what solving equations means and it was wonderful for the students who thrived when using manipulatives. With the way the curriculum is headed, I am sure 4th graders will be solving multi-step equations too. Actually, some of the test samplers for next year could be solved with a two-step equation and students are expected to use variables. Bring it on!

Have you seriously considered what will become of your faithful companion – your beloved pet – upon your death or disability? If not, now is the time. If you don't have a plan that quickly and easily provides for your pet's food, shelter, and care, please keep reading.
One of the main goals of estate planning is to provide for your loved ones, and for many of us, "loved ones" includes our pets. While you can always ask a friend or relative to look out for your pet, they aren't legally obligated to unless you set up an estate plan for this.
The specific estate planning method you use will depend on your state laws, your pet's needs, your goals and financial resources. Working together, you and your attorney can plan for the best method to ensure that your pet will continue to have a quality life.
Consider these frequently asked questions and be sure to ask your attorney for more details. Don't wait until it's too late …
Isn't my will the easiest place to plan for the care of my pet?
Even though it may seem 'easy' to include a bequest for your pet within your will, it may not be the best approach. Why? Because your will must go through probate before it takes effect. This can be time consuming and uncertain, and your pet will need immediate attention. Your pet is not like your spouse, adult children or your siblings – they can take care of themselves until the probate process is complete.
But since your pet needs food, water, shelter, and love every day, this may not be the best way to provide for your pet.. During probate, your pet's care, or even ownership, can be in jeopardy. So, while you may want to include provisions in your will for your pet, first consider other methods. Many people are now using a 'trust' to provide funds and direction for the care of their pet.
How does setting up a trust help me provide for my pet?
Unlike a will that is subject to the probate process, a trust becomes effective immediately upon the terms outlined in your trust – usually death or disability. Your trust specifies the details concerning the care and control of your pet, as well as making funds available. Your trust can also give specific directions about the daily care, medical attention, physical control, and even burial of your pet.
What is a trust and how does it work to provide for the care of my pet?
A trust is a legal entity set up to accomplish a particular purpose. You and your attorney will outline the specifics that detail when and under what circumstances the trust will take effect. This includes how the trust will be funded, who will be the trustee, successor trustee, beneficiary, and caretaker, and how the trustee or caretaker will manage your pet and the funds for your pet.
You want your loving pet to be fed, cared for, and to receive medical attention. You may also want to designate funds for pet insurance, or even to enforce the trust. In your trust, you can also leave real property for housing your beloved companion.
What types of trusts are available to provide care for my pet?
A 'pet trusts' is really a generic term and is applied to a trust that provides for your pet. A pet cannot be a beneficiary of a traditional legal trust because one of the legal requirements for a trust is that there must be a beneficiary, and that beneficiary must be able to enforce the terms of the trust. Obviously, a pet cannot enforce a trust. So, the choice and structure of a trust must take this into account and be properly worded to accomplish your goals.

Just a short post today....but sometimes less is more!!!!! ;o)
The picture is me "modelling" the 'Medtronic MiniMed Paradigm Veo' insulin pump. I am having a "play" with it over the weekend and will be getting my own on the 9TH AUGUST!!!!!!! 11 DAYS TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pretty much all I can say about it for now is "AAAAGGGHHHHHHH" because I AM SO EXCITED & HAPPY. I was really quite nervous before my appointment today in terms of there being a hell of a lot to take in but I think that part of it is going to be on the start day when I get the full training. Today was more just about putting an infusion set in and then I can have a play with all the menus and features on the pump over the weekend. I was pretty nervous about doing the first set insert but I had one go at doing one without it being attached to the pump, while I was still at the hospital then I did it all, including filling the reservoir with saline and priming the tubing etc. without having been shown how to do it by the DSN, on my own when I got home so I'm pretty pleased with how easily I managed to do it all especially as the DSN hadn't shown me how to do those parts of it at the appointment. The set insert was nothing to worry about, I hardly felt it go in and now as I'm sitting here typing away, I can't feel it at all.....
So far, I love it...I've got to spend the... weekend having a look at all the menus and features then my DSN is going to get my own pink one ordered for me on Monday!!!!!
Oh, and some more great news today.....my last HbA1c was 11.6 (in March) and today I found out it has come down to 8.8 so I'm really pleased and also pleasantly surprised as I had expected it to have come down but not by that much!!!! All the hard work and carb counting is certainly paying off!!!!
Obviously the hard work with the pump is really going to begin on the start day but I'm more than ready for it and can't wait to get started for real.....
Off to have a lie down now so I can recover from all the excitement....(God knows what I'm going to be like on 9th August)
P.S. I am of course going to have to give my new pink pump a name so if anyone has any suggestions please let me know..... :o)

Keep Senior Center Open
To The Editor: By now all the seniors in the Cold Spring/Philipstown area have received a phone call from me to reassure them that I am doing everything I can to restore the nutrition program that is so vital to our community. To even consider eliminating these services to our seniors is a bad proposal.

I guess that you don't doubt that that the Academia in the Western countries is leaning to the left. Well, that's a terrible understatement. It's heavily left-wing. A 2009 Pew Research Poll found that among scientists in the U.S. Academia, 55% were registered Democrats, 32% were Independents, and 6% were Republicans. The numbers have probably gotten much worse in the subsequent decade.
As we could conclude e.g. by seeing the 4,000 signatures under a petition penned by D.H. against Alessandro Strumia, out of 40,000 HEP authors that could have signed, the percentage of the hardcore extremist leftists who are willing to support even the most insidious left-wing campaigns is about 10% in particle physics. Assuming that the number 6% above was approximately correct, you can see that the Antifa-type leftists outnumber all Republicans, including the extremely moderate ones and the RINOs (Republicans In Name Only), and a vast majority of those 6% are RINOs or extremely moderate Republicans.
Because the extreme leftists are the only loud subgroup – you know, the silent majority is silent as the name indicates – they shape the atmosphere in the environment to a very unhealthy degree. It has become unhealthy especially because they have managed to basically expel everybody who would be visibly opposing them.

Tesla's final quarter, China's shopping spree
Last week, Donald Trump figured out that China was far more honorable than Pelosi and Schumer, the top Democrats. It's easier to deal with them, you may trust them.
This is a sad testimony about the contemporary leftists in the West. I must confirm that these people are harder to interact with than those that have been considered textbook examples of the evil left-wing ideologies. I have always considered communists to be foes and I still think that they're dangerous for the evolution of my homeland. But e.g. on Twitter, I found their bosses much easier to communicate with than with the "contemporary" social justice warriors. The latter are far more fanatical, malicious, eager to do nasty things.
On Friday, the stock markets jumped by a percent or two – mostly because of a claimed Bloomberg leak that China agreed to go on a shopping spree to the U.S. in the next five years. They should promise to buy $1 trillion of goods more than previously expected and achieve a balanced trade with the U.S. in some five years. That would be quite an impressive development in the Sino-American trade war, indeed, as the trade war would turn into the Sino-American trade romance.

25 deceptions, lies, malicious attacks, and errors in the Gillette commercial
Some clueless people ask what's wrong with the Gillette ad. I wasn't particularly insulted by this ad – which is approaching 20 million views and 1 million downvotes – because similar stuff has become a part of our everyday lives.
But let me calmly answer the question as if it were a serious one and explain why I consider creators and apologists of the 108-second-long video (TRF) to be bad human beings who need to be treated as such.
There are hundreds of deceptions, lies, manipulations, demagogic statements, mispresentations of facts, and malicious attacks against particular men, all white men, all men, and against innocent examples of masculine behavior, not to mention lots of manifestations of prejudices. Out of these hundreds, I chose twenty-five.
0:00-0:05 – Buzzwords without full sentences are deceptively mixed
We hear noise from the media that talks about "bullying", "the MeToo movement", and "masculinity". In some cases, these words don't form full sentences. They have nothing to do with shaving or with a sensible discussion. And a healthy man turns off the radio or TV or switches to another channel or radio station when the quality of the content drops this low.
What is worse is that these completely different buzzwords are being mixed in order for the viewer to think that they are associated with each other if not equivalent. They are not equivalent at all and a fair person shouldn't automatically associate them.
0:00-0:05 – MeToo wasn't created by masculinity at all
The MeToo mania is a decadent movement encouraging women to invent false accusations against men – and pushing everyone to take them seriously, thus suppressing the presumption of innocence. Everyone who hasn't spent the recent years in a cave knows that most of the important faces of the movement have been proven to be shameless liars. Some of the notorious examples are reviewed in a parody of the Gillette ad, The Best WOMEN Can Be.

Firing 90% HEP folks would mean new scientific dark ages
Backreaction, currently the most influential forum of haters of physics in the world, has reacted to the newly completed design plans for the next future collider at CERN, the FCC. You may find the article with the not very friendly but very populist title Particle physicists want money for bigger collider through a search engine.
In that article, we learn that even the lowest estimate €9 billion is too much money and it's not worth spending. Such appraisals obviously depend on one's priorities but a person who finds €9 billion as way too much is clearly an anti-science savage. It's just a small fraction of the capitalization of Tesla, a car company making just some 200,000 cars a year (0.3% of the global annual production of 70 million cars a year) and still waiting for its first annual profit. Or 1/20 of Apple's cash reserves.
Alternatively, the cost of $10 billion is what tattoo parlors earn in three years or the porn industry in one month. The Pentagon spends it in five days and so do the U.S. welfare projects.
What would you think about the global population that isn't willing to pay this much money for the most fundamental scientific experiment once a decade or two?

Gillette will only produce razors for feminists' beards and mustaches
Gillette is one of the companies that have greatly changed the culture by its quasi-monopoly. In Czech – as well as all small Baltic and Slavic languages that use letters from the Czech alphabet ("ž"...) – the word "žiletka" refers to the general thin razors for shaving, regardless of the company that made it.
The company was founded in 1901 and has headquarters in Boston. It is currently owned by Procter & Gamble, a truly large corporation. The British marketing unit has decided to change the image of the company by releasing We Believe: The Best Men Can Be | Gillette (a two-minute short film).
Wow, it wasn't accepted too well. Out of 2.7 million views, they have accumulated 240,000 negative votes (still fewer than YouTube Rewind 2018: 15 million downvotes) and just 30,000 positive ones. The film basically says that most men have toxic masculinity (their being male implies that they're bullies, rapists etc.) that they have to shave off. A far left "Young Turks" host is presented as a role model, boys that are playing and men who are praising women are being criminalized. Hundreds of thousands of comments were posted under the YouTube video and hundreds of thousands of comments were erased by the company – only 64,000, mostly supportive ones, were kept as of now.

Why competent physicists can't remain calm when seeing an apparent fine-tuning
Sabine Hossenfelder boasts that "students" are asking her what to think about major research topics in theoretical physics and cosmology
Good Problems in the Foundations of Physicsand she likes to give them the same answer as the rubbish on her atrociously anti-scientific blog: almost none of the research makes any sense, problems aren't problems, physics should stop. Dear students, let me point out that
she is just an average incompetent layman who was allowed to pretend to be a physics researcher just because she has a non-convex reproductive organ and that's why, in the contemporary environment of the extreme political correctness, many people are afraid to point out the obvious fact that she is just an arrogant whining woman who has no clue about any of these physics problems.But every actual physicist will agree with an overwhelming majority of what I am going to say.
If you misunderstand the basic issues of the current state of theoretical physics (and particle physics and cosmology) as much as she does, you simply cannot get a postdoc job in any research group, with a possible exception of the totally ludicrous low-quality or corrupt places. And most of the relevant people would probably agree with me that if you still haven't figured out why her musings are completely wrong, you shouldn't really be a physics graduate student, either.

An unexpected encounter of digits of \(\pi\) in the counting of collisions
Peter F. and John A. simultaneously sent me a nice video on the 3Blue1Brown YouTube channel that wonderfully popularizes various mathematical curiosities and gets well-deserved hundreds of thousands of views for that:
The most unexpected answer to a counting puzzle (a 5-minute video)Imagine two boxes on a line, a big one and a small one. The big one is \(M\) times heavier than the smaller one. The small box starts at zero speed, the big one approaches from the right, collides with the small one. And the small box elastically oscillates between the big box and a static wall.
You count all the "clacks". When the boxes are equally heavy and \(M=1\), you will get \(3\) clacks. When \(M=10^{10}\), you will get... \(314,\!159\) clacks. It's almost like digits of \(\pi\). And indeed. The rule continues. Why do you get digits of \(\pi\) in a counting problem? And why are they multiplied by powers of ten?

DNA: cranks fully expel James Watson from his lab
Genetics used to be banned in the Soviet Union up to the mid 1960s.
A crackpot named Trofim Lysenko proposed alternative, superstitious methods to increase the yields in agriculture (basically some reeducation camps for crops – contemporary cultural Marxists would approve Lysenko's methods because they were also all about "nurturing") and he became a darling of an influential local mass killer named Joseph Stalin.
That man therefore banned genetics – the discipline established by Czechia's German Gregor Mendel – and all scientific methods in agriculture.
It was before the DNA was discovered. Just to be sure, Mendel's genetics determined the probabilities that the offspring has one trait or another but it didn't say "why". DNA emerged as the detailed microscopic molecular explanation why those probabilities work as Mendel has experimentally determined.
Americans like to view the story of Lysenkoism as some tale about savages who are surely nothing like Americans. Too bad, when it comes to the freedom to do research and report the results, the atmosphere in the U.S. is already as bad as it was during the Soviet Lysenkoism era if not worse and the Yankees' ideas that the Soviets were worse are just unsubstantiated fantasies driven by the primitive and widespread anti-Russian racism.

Self-immolation of Jan Palach: 50th anniversary
In August 1968, five European communist countries' armies invaded Czechoslovakia and terminated the Prague Spring, an era of the socialism with a human face (or some accelerating liberalization of communism if you wish).
Within months, almost all the people got used to the renewed neo-Stalinist conditions, opportunism, spying, restored censorship, and firing of the inconvenient folks (starting from those who led the liberalization in 1968) – the process of reversal of the Prague Spring has been termed "The Normalization" by Brezhnev and his comrades and those of us who are terrified by that process use the euphemism, too.
For some time, students kept on protesting but they figured out that no one dares to support them – no one apparently wants them to fight – which is why this student resistance faded away. There was one 20-year-old student of history and political economy, Jan Palach, who couldn't swallow the people's becoming spineless and passive in this way.
On Wednesday, it will have been 50 years from his January 16th self-immolation at the top of the Wenceslaus Square – not far from the St Wenceslaus statue and the National Museum (which is freshly renovated now).

Quantum gravity from self-collisions of the configuration space
One of the seemingly quirky ideas that are waiting to revolutionize theoretical physics – at least your humble correspondent feels it should be the case – is the unified treatment of world sheets + world volumes + other auxiliary spaces, spacetimes, and configuration spaces. All these spaces may be used to encode the information about physical systems. All these spaces have some quantum gravity on them (I will discuss the last one). They are mapped to each other in various ways.
There isn't a self-evident metaphysical difference between them which is why I believe that the truly exact formulation of quantum gravity doesn't care whether you think that you live on the world sheets, in the spacetime, or on the configuration space. The laws of quantum gravity are certain consistency criteria that have to work on all the spaces above.
For more than 20 years, one of the reasons why I believed in the paradigm above were the Kutasov-Martinec (2,1) heterotic strings. When you combine the left-moving \(\NNN=2\) supersymmetric string theory with the normal 10-dimensional superstring, you apparently get a string theory whose target space dynamics looks like the world sheet dynamics of the superstring – or another world sheet. You may even recursively generate the (2,1) string in the target space of itself.

D.H. wants physicists not to be allowed to talk about me and this blog
The proposal would revive some great techniques of the Inquisition
A theoretical physicist who is known from TRF comment sections and who has published over 50 papers has directed my attention to a tirade by a young physicist D.H. written on his Facebook profile.
D.H. is also a good theoretical physicist who recently won a nice junior award – and his name and work appears in 15 previous TRF blog posts – although his background isn't solid enough for him to be considered a full-blown string theorist. Please keep his full name confidential – to protect his future – because what he has written is truly embarrassing. Quotes below will not be copied verbatim – my sentences will be almost exactly equivalent, however. The scrambling was done to make it harder for readers to search for the exact quotes and identify the author. Well, it's probably impossible to hide the name well – intelligent readers will probably realize that D.H. is so obsessed with the left-wing politics that he had to be a co-author of some nasty and personal Stalinist petitions we discussed in the recent months which makes it trivial to find his name.
Lots of articles on this blog discuss examples of left-wing activists who have spread over the Academia and made the life miserable for numerous "politically incorrect" colleagues. Some of those had to leave etc. But D.H. wants to bring these Stalinist practices to a new level. He wants the people who were generously allowed to stay to be prevented from respecting the people who are outside, like me, or discuss them or read their texts. Sending folks to the Gulag isn't enough for D.H.: people who remember those who left for the Gulag must be sent to the Gulag, too.

Is traditional masculinity pathological?
In Eliza Graves, a 2014 horror film, the patients have acquired the keys from a psychiatric asylum, performed a spherical inversion, and kept the physicians in the basement. It seems that a similar spherical inversion has taken place in the American Psychological Association (APA) that has been conquered by psychopaths.
In August 2018, they wrote their APA guidelines for the psychological practice with boys and men. The document was only released yesterday – see a press release – and it has shocked all the people whose brains haven't been completely devoured by the extreme left-wing ideology. See e.g. Christina Sommers at Tucker Carlson's show, Fox News, Breitbart, and lots of other conservative and Christian responses to the insanity.

Unix: 50 years
Willie Soon sent me a tweet by the Bell Labs:
Today, @InventorsHOF announced their 2019 inductees, including Dennis Ritchie & Ken Thompson for their invention of the #UNIX operating system while at Bell Labs. Today, 50 years later, UNIX systems continue to run machinery from computers to smartphones. https://t.co/sacBaD1Pzk pic.twitter.com/MeLzzc3Aa5— Bell Labs (@BellLabs) January 9, 2019
Yes, as they discuss on the very informative Bell Labs web page, Unix was invented 50 years ago, in 1969. And because the Bell Labs were bought by Nokia – decades after the research center had earned six physics Nobel prizes and years after I wrote "Rip Bell Labs" – and I bought a couple of Nokia stocks a year ago (they are up 30%, which is rare), there's no reason not to overlook this history.

Recent papers: SFT, SUSY GUT, a new light gauge boson, \(p\)-adic string gravity, swampland
I plan to write a heuristic post about some exciting ideas of mine but let me dedicate a comment to recent papers on the arXiv. There were some rather interesting papers on that server yesterday and today.
Yesterday, Hiroyuki Hata (whom I know as a guy from the Kyoto group, a team behind the first string paper that I intensely studied 25 years ago) presented some analytic solutions for cubic string field theory that are supposed to describe an arbitrary integral number of spacetime-filling D25-branes. The work is meant to be a generalization of the \(KBc\) Prague work by Martin Schnabl (who is Czech) and Ted Erler (who is at most an honorary Czech).
The solution is of the form \(U Q_B U^{-1}\) where the product is a product of string fields and, believe it or not, one may write down string fields that behave as unitary matrices under the relevant product. So these folks conjugate the BRST operator by a unitary map and, depending on what the map exactly is, one gets unequivalent configurations that contain a different number of branes. I still haven't been given a good intuitive explanation why the mere unitary conjugation produces something else than an equivalent configuration. In non-commutative field theory, we were comparing kernels and images (the maps would be irreversible on one side) but I don't know what's the trick here.
Hata constructs the most general unitary string field \(U\) which depends on some function of two variables and perhaps some additional functions. It is not quite clear to me why this is the right amount of freedom to start with. He constructs the solution. Because one starts with heuristic solutions like that, one must pay some attention to the possibility to transform the formal solutions to something that makes sense, level-by-level, and that has a finite norm and energy density. He demands the correct tension and energy density and claims to have generalizations for any \(N\).
It's not quite clear whether he is sure that those are solutions and whether he has found all solutions of a certain class – his constraints may be too strong or too weak. Also, I find it surprising how irregularly the solutions behave as a function of \(N\). Something new happens for \(N=5\) and higher etc. (suddenly some \(\pi\) appears in the form of some required parameters) – it is just like explaining the grammar of Slavic numerals! ;-) You have "one/jedna minuta", "two-three-four/dvě-tři-čtyři minuty", and "five-or-more/pět-a-více minut". Only 2,3,4 are "truly plural" numerals and the numerals behave a bit like adjectives but 5,6,7... is too much, the individual minutes lose their separate existence, and all the numerals behave like nouns similar to "a dozen" in English! So it is a "dozen of something" – Slavic languages use an analogous construction for almost all numbers starting with five.

Grievance studies hoax author harassed by "disciplinary" action at his university
In October, we discussed a wonderful campaign – Alan Sokal on steroids. Three academics have succeeded in publishing numerous Sokal-like papers in pseudoscientific journals dealing with "grievance studies", as they creatively categorized them.
One of the three authors – and perhaps the main mastermind – was Peter Boghossian who is an assistant professor of philosophy at the Portland State University in Oregon. Well, to prove that the politically correct "scholars" are full of šit is probably politically incorrect by itself which is why some disciplinary action has been initiated against him.
See the College Fix and Google News for more reports. Thanks to Hallyu Website for informing me about the developments.

One of the key differences between Java and .NET development is cost. To get the right Microsoft solution costs thousands of dollars. And what you get is something very different to an IntelliJ, NetBeans or Eclipse. You get vendor integration (or lock in if you prefer) and competition against the community. It may appear attractive to some but it seems odd to me to actively fight integration into existing, open solutions. It does seem though that the open side is winning (I wish Sun had've done the same thing when choosing a logging API).
Unit testing and source control are obvious ones. It's amazing to see that their entry level IDE does not come with this. There are great free solutions in NUnit and MbUnit. MbUnit is especially cool (released recently) allowing all sorts of built in test fixtures. And there's always Ankh for Subversion integration. There are lots of alternatives.
A summary from a Microsoft developer: Hey, Shareholders! VS 2005 is *Fantastic* and our Developers Love Microsoft! "I might wander in early on Monday to meander through the crowds celebrating the big Visual Studio launch. But my heart is heavy that we shoveled what we could together and Won't Fix-ed this release out the door. Microsoft has just opened a very big door to competition in the IDE space. Or at least towards people jealously holding onto VS 2003 and saying, "CLR 2.0? Screw that! The last time I tried to use generics my machine locked up!" Big freakin' mistake. Microsoft should be ashamed."

Hazaar MVC is the passion of one person, me, Jamie Carl. If you have found Hazaar MVC to be useful and would like to reward me in some way, cash is always a good way to go. Feel free to use the link below to send me a dontation and to help buy me a beer.
History of Hazaar MVC
Hazaar MVC is the work of Jamie Carl who began developing it in late 2012. The reasons cited for initiating development of what could be refered to as "another PHP framework" were many. Not least of which was simply "because I can", the main reasons where a deep dissatisfaction with many of the existing frameworks and their features as at the time many of which did not support namespaces.
It was discovered while looking for a robust feature-rich framework for building an online financial planning application for Jamie's employer, Achieve, Corp., that many of the existing PHP frameworks either lacked the required features, were overly complex, or just didn't address the main problem that PHP kinda sucks.
After much consideration and contemplation, it was decided in early 2013 that Hazaar MVC should be open and free to the public and efforts began to package Hazaar MVC for public consumption.

It was off to Arizona for the entire Real Housewives of New Jersey crew this week. It was Melissa Gorga's birthday, and they were determined to celebrate, relax, and continue the healing that began after their last group getaway.
The big confrontation between Penny and Jen and Melissa last week had stirred things up a bit. The Gorgas were more wary of Teresa Giudice and her involvement in the whole mess. "Something's fishy," Joe said. Still they decided to try and see if Arizona could bring about more resolution and bonding.
For awhile it did. Rosie Pierri told Teresa she'd jump in front of a coyote for her, and they all were moved after an energy healer brought both Rich and Kathy Wakile to tears with messages from their deceased parents.
As everyone but Melissa (who was sick) was out hiking, they stopped for a ceremony in which everyone was asked to write down something they wanted to let go of and then burn it. As one by one they all wrote down something seemingly related to Teresa, I was worried it was going to get ugly then. When it was Teresa's turn, she said, "I'm just really emotional listening to everyone who had a problem with me."
I thought that was going to be the beginning of a big brawl once again, but surprisingly, instead of her usually defensive attack, she called them all up to stand with her. Then she told them she was happy with how things were going with all of them, and that she wanted to keep working on things. It was very Kumbaya.
Then she and Jacqueline stepped aside. Jacqueline had admitted how much she'd missed Teresa, and there was a hugfest coming on. Then with just a few words, Teresa put a screeching halt to the rekindling of their friendship. She said:
My thing is I never want to do anything to hurt anyone else because karma might not only come back to me but to my daughters.
Jacqueline's face froze, and previews for next week show her ranting about how Teresa was perhaps insinuating that her autistic son's problems were a result of her bad karma. Honestly, I'm not sure I would have made that leap had it not been for Jacqueline's reaction. Teresa really couldn't be that cruel, could she?
But the more I think about it, why else would she say that? We know she has a propensity for getting words and phrases wrong, but this seemed perhaps a little more well thought out. It could be one of those things that she's been dying to say, but can throw out there in this manner and claim total innocence. I can just hear her now calling Jacqueline crazy for even thinking she meant that.
I'm honestly torn here. I don't want to believe anyone would go that low, but as we've learned time and again with these ladies, you just never know.
Do you think Teresa was making a dig at Jacqueline and her son with her remark about karma affecting your children?

My last post was a repost of our adoption of Scout back in June. Thanks to Pedigree, my post helped feed dogs in shelters. Pedigree offered to donate a bag of dog food to a shelter for every blog that published a story about rescuing a dog. Not a bad deal at all :) Today I'm sharing some updated pictures of Scout. She's now just about 6 months old and living up to her name; if there's trouble to be found she'll Scout it out.
The first picture is from last month. It's one of my favorites because she looks like a bobble head puppy :) The second is what she looks like after rolling herself in mud, which she loves to do often. I don't know what I was thinking getting a white dog. I don't even like to wear white clothes, for fear of staining them. I'm just glad she has been pretty easy to clean, gentle cycle seems to be her favorite setting. (I'm joking, please don't wash your pets in the washing machine)
And the 3rd picture is just to prove that I don't actually have a bobble headed dog. She is a perfectly proportioned pup; her bark, ears, and heart are equally over sized for the tiny frame that carries them.
Thanks for stopping by. I'd love to hear about your pets too. If you have a rescue story to share make sure you check out Julie Klam's Blog. She's looking for your stories.

YAY! Spring is here.... And I think here in Northeast Iowa we've gotten past the time where we could still get a freak snow storm of multiple inches that hangs around for months.... Not saying it CAN'T happen, just saying the odds that it won't get better and better every day.
After the absolute week from HADES my wonderful "quasi-boyfriend" did several outstanding things. One was introduce me to a new website of gorgeous yarn. Then last night he took me to a baseball game! Granted they are associated with the Angels but I love baseball and they are a lot closer for afterwork games or times when you want to take in a game without taking too much time out of your life/ making it a huge event. There was beer and polish sausage. And the week was looking better. Oh yeah and the Kernels killed the Cougars.... 11-0.
Prior to the game, when I first got home from the civic-duty-that-is-threatening-my-sanity, I had a package waiting for me. The shoes I had ordered when Nathan and I went to the paddlesport expo in Madison, WI a couple weeks ago. Seriously comfy... I think I'm in love. I know I know I need shoes like I need a hole in the head but these are going to be replacing my former "happy shoes" that are, after a good number of years of wear, are not as happy as they once were. They still have New York State dirt in them from (oh wow, has it really been that long) 6 years ago. And truth be told they were never the most supportive of shoes.... Sadly I can no longer "just deal" with unsupportive shoes for any length of time. Anyhoo... If you are in search of some funky comfy shoes I highly recommend checking out this environmentally and socially conscious company.
Then today my lovely and wonderful co-worker and friend (and the first person I taught to knit), Cari of the comments, came to visit me. We showed each other various UFO's and I gave her the stuff from Erin and I for Tegan as well as some yarn from my stash and from the stuff that Erin brought out. Oh yeah I got some yarn from her too. :) She has the most adorable pattern book for little ones and she's getting ready to attempt her first sweater (you can do it, Cari). We went to the LYS for some really awesome yarn for another sweater she is going to be making for a little one (pattern also from the same book... I think it's Quick Knits for Kids but don't hold me to that). Cari took me out to lunch and I brought back half a Turkey Ruben that is currently calling to me from it's place in the fridge (Thanks Cari... Betcha didn't know you were taking care of lunch and dinner for me huh?). Cari was also kind enough to take a pair of Birkenstocks off my hands. See... I had always wanted a pair of Birks... Both Cari and Nathan swear by them. So a couple years ago (maybe it was last year... I'm not sure but it's not important) I finally got up the gusto to purchase a pair. I tried them on in the store and per the translation from European sizes got the same size I get in all other shoes (a 6). I was warned to break them in by wearing them a few times with socks first, which I did faithfully. I'll be damned but no matter what I did those shoes just weren't comfortable for me. There is a little "support ridge" in the footbed that goes between your toes and the ball of your foot, this is apparently one of the hallmarks of these shoes. Well my feet must be goofy because that little ridge hit my right big toe in just the wrong way and would cause my big toe to go numb. Yup, that's right, the toe the maintains the whole balance thing... So numb you could have removed it and I would have been none the wiser. By this point I had had the shoes for too long to return them and Erin had already said that Birks didn't fit her right either so giving them to her was out of the picture. I had seriously contemplated contacting Stephanie, who loves her Birks, to see what her size (hey she's roughly the same height has Erin and I... you know, short, so I thought...) was so they weren't just going to waste in my closet. But then.... Several people had mentioned that perhaps the shoes were just too big for me and therefore causing my foot not to line up correctly with the footbeds. I couldn't test this theory forever because the size I had bought was apparently the smallest size any local retailer carried. The other day I stopped into Payless and noticed that they now carry a type of shoe called a Tula which is licensed by Birkenstock.... They had little kids sized 4 1/2 which I tried on for giggles... They fit like a glove. So there may be hope... BUT all this taught me that the conversion chart from European Sizes to US Sizes is crap AND that the Birk's I own(ed) would probably fit Cari... And they did and the shoes and Cari are now going to live happily ever after. WOOHOO!!!!
Cari and I also had the luck of getting to see J.B. of WideSpread Panic sing the National Anthem at today's Chicago Cubs game while at lunch. It was funny I was just mentioning it because there was baseball on TV but not the Cubs game... Then mere moments pass and the waitress changes all the TV to the game just in time for the National Anthem. It was pretty cool... And excellent timing. Panic is in the middle (well tonight is the last night of a three night stint) of their shows at the Chicago Theatre after taking 2004 off from touring (they're allowed they had been on tour for 17 years pretty much straight prior to that). As you might guess their shows sold out pretty fast and given the general craziness that has been around here Nathan and I wouldn't have been able to make it so it was really great to catch part of J.B. on the toob. Especially because Northeast Iowa is quite possibly the only place on the planet where WGN is not a local station.
I hope you are all enjoying (and having) BEA-U-TI-FUL spring weather (I'm airing out the apartment... after a whole winter with baseboard... read: dusty... heat, it's a grand thing). That sandwich is really starting to get obnoxious with the yelling so I think I'll go eat it and the settle down for a long evening's knit. I'll update y'all on the progress tomorrow.

It's all a Load of Tennis Balls
6 comments:
'Not sure who won the World Cup'.... well of course it wasn't us!ReplyDelete
Agree about Murray, I listened to the radio commentary as he lost the second set, all commentators were saying he wasn't playing at his best... why do we make excuses all the time. OK, so he had a bad day. OK so he got beaten. Aren't we used to it by now? I don't watch sport any more, used to love Wimbledon in the days of real characters like Nastase, McEnroe, Connors, Lendl et al, people who made the game fun and interesting and never boring. Interesting (or more likely not) that Murray changes his coach... and loses! 'Nuff said....
Blogger is having a blip again. I just lost my comment.ReplyDelete
I stopped watching Wimbledon as well (unless Nadal & Federer are ever in a final again - pure magic!). In Scotland our schools finished in June for the summer hols and I always had the TV on for Wimbledon - 'twas when Martina Navratilova was a lass. Like you, I loved the characters back then and they were real sportsmen and women. I also used to love watching the Grand Prix but again, the oldies were much more interesting, e.g. Ayrton Senna etc. It's all gone a bit boring now with whinging (sp!) spoiled boys.
Err...Just to inform you that the final of the World Cup hasn't happened yet hen! It's on July 13th. As for Gregor Dimitrov, I bet you'd love him to give you a damned good thrashing! Roberto could video it.ReplyDelete
Bloody blogger, keeps losing my replies!!ReplyDelete
You are SO naughty, YP.
I know the world cup hasn't happened yet, I was being facetious (bloody good word that!).
I knew I should have put an 'ed' on damned.
Hurrah, my views exactly on Andy Murray. Miserable git! Mind you that Mum is formidable!! You could be right on the not giving up. I remember the newspaper quote 'Why is it that Murray scowls while Nadal smoulders' I think this was a woman's view, certainly mine. Jan B.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Jan, thanks for calling in. I'm so glad someone else can see Murray for what he really is. I can never understand the hysteria for mediocre players just because they are British. I like to support people who excel at what they do. I do think that Murray's mother is living her tennis dreams vicariously through him and he is SO angry about it.Delete
Best wishes from Carol (my real name).

Magnolia snags 'Signal' in wee hours
EmptyThe buying frenzy of the Sundance Film Festival continued into the wee hours of the night when Magnolia Pictures entered final negotiations for North American, U.K. and Australian rights to the horror film "The Signal" after the film's midnight screening.
The indie company is said to be purchasing the rights for around $2.3 million, though Magnolia won't confirm the sale as some deal points remain outstanding.
From writers/directors David Bruckner, Jacob Gentry and Dan Bush, "The Signal" centers on a mysterious transmission which invades every cell phone, radio and TV in the city, turning its inhabitants into killers. "The Signal" will mark the second purchase for Magnolia and its largest acquisition at a festival. The Mark Cuban-owned studio landed the first sale of the confab with the documentary "Crazy Love" picked up late Saturday.
"We didn't give anyone else a chance on the film," said Cassian Elwes, co-head of William Morris Independent. "We really wanted to be in business with Magnolia on this one. They had already expressed a lot of interest in the project and it's a big deal for them. They were really aggressive about the film."
William Morris Independent repped the filmmakers.
