In fact, it had been a long time since I heard my two teenagers laugh so much and so loudly during a movie. Swardson made me and my whole family laugh out loud during many parts of the movie. Nick Swardson is the clown of the movie, which allows Sandler to act more and leave some of the funny stuff to others. He is very funny (as usual), but also compassionate and lovable. I would say this is an equivalent performance as in 50 First Dates, or even better. He does not have to deliver all of the stupid jokes, and has a to act his role during most of the movie. Adam Sandler is much more natural than usual. Jennifer Aniston is perfect in that role this is her best performance in a movie so far, except maybe for Marley and Me. People who gave an 8 to True Grit will not appreciate this movie. Most highly critical people looking for perfection will give this movie a bad review, no doubt. However, if you like to go to the movies just to break the routine, to have some laughs, and to change your mind, this is an excellent movie.

Suffice to say, a modern, Intel-based Mac, Boot Camp, and Windows XP are a pretty good combination if you need to run both systems. Sorry, Rain, not trying to change the thread. (I'm working on a much better version in InDesign, but that's another story.) I whipped up our own version in BeLight's Swift Publisher and knocked the socks off the Publisher version. Oh, and don't get me started how every friggin' template they have set up for their agents is in MS Publisher - and how they can't understand how we don't love it. I guess if you're working with it every day, I'm just not seeing how to get things done but, man, I really hate when she needs to get something done. Doing the simplest things are just so profoundly un-intuitive. Got to say, running XP on the MacBook has reintroduced my wife (and me) to the horrors of Windows. I mean, I got the work done, so it was great in that regard, but it made me hate Windows even more.) (I used to run VirtualPC on a PowerBook ages ago, in order to run Lotus Notes at a client's. She routinely uses it at a number of office locations (she works for Coldwell Banker here in Central Arkansas) with no issues - after all, when you boot into Windows XP on the MacBook, you're running Windows XP there's no virtualization, it's "you are there".Ĭan't compare it to VirtualPC, because it isn't emulation. That said, Windows works great (or at least as great as Windows can) on her MacBook. (If someone has first hand experience with this, how do I get XP to run under Fusion, short of buying a second license for XP?) Right now she either boots into Mac, or into Windows. I got her Fusion, but have still not gone through the rigamarole of being able to run XP from within the Mac side. My wife has a MacBook running 10.4.11 and Windows XP (SP2). Lot by all possible means - except by getting off That I am very sorry for him and wish to ease his Him carry me, and yet assure myself and others I sit on a man’s back, choking him and making I like the Coherence mode in which the Windows desktop combines with the OS X desktop. I have been using Parallels and it has worked pretty darn well. MAVIC and a few others say Fusion is faster than Parallels for running Windows in virtualization. If it wasn't usable I wouldn't be doing it. From start to finish it takes about a week and a half. I use Quark 7 to put the magazine together. I do a 120 page monthly pub that was started on a PC and the publisher wants to keep it on a PC. I would stick with XP because I think Vista just adds too much overhead for the return. If the Windows apps are 2D you are purring right along. If you go the virtualization route You are running Windows at the same time you are running OS X. If you go the Bootcamp route you are basically running a Windows PC. Parallels Desktop or VMWare Fusion are available as downloadable demo ware, but they cost money if you want to use them for longer than one event.If you are comparing it to Virtual PC it is blazing fast. They all involve installing Windows from a CD. None of these options are things you would want to do in five minutes before starting a LAN party. You still need a copy of Windows, but you are not restricted to using SP2, SP3 or Vista. That will allow the Mac to dual boot, and it will turn the Mac into a straightforward PC when booted into Windows.Īlternatively you can use Parallels Desktop or VMWare Fusion to create a Virtual Machine running Windows alongside Mac OS X. You'll need an installation disk for XP SP2, SP3 or Vista, and the Mac will need OS X version 10.5. Windows can be installed by creating a Bootcamp Windows partition on the Mac's hard drive. If it's an older PowerBook then you *could* try to find an old copy of Microsoft's VirtualPC for Mac, but I wouldn't recommend it as Civ3 performance would be pretty awful. I assume that's what you intended by the term "parallel coherence", though I'm not familiar with the expression? This will only work if the Mac is a MacBook, running an Intel CPU. So the only way to play cross platform is to install Windows on the Mac and run the PC version of Civ3 in that. There is a different Mac-only protocol used on a LAN or via GameRanger, and that is not available for the PC version. Civ3 does not include the necessary communications protocol support to enable Mac-to-PC play in real time. ![]() With one day's rest, they know the Grizzlies will be ready for Game 5.

This is because the models are never actually retrieved when issuing a mass update or delete. When issuing a mass update or delete via Eloquent, the saved, updated, deleting, and deleted model events will not be fired for the affected models. The saving / saved events will fire when a model is created or updated. The updating / updated events will fire when an existing model is modified and the save method is called. When a new model is saved for the first time, the creating and created events will fire. The retrieved event will fire when an existing model is retrieved from the database. Each event receives the instance of the model through its constructor. Events allow you to easily execute code each time a specific model class is saved or updated in the database. For example, let's make the name attribute of our Flight model mass assignable:Įloquent models fire several events, allowing you to hook into the following points in a model's lifecycle: retrieved, creating, created, updating, updated, saving, saved, deleting, deleted, restoring, restored. You may do this using the $fillable property on the model. So, to get started, you should define which model attributes you want to make mass assignable. ![]() For example, a malicious user might send an is_admin parameter through an HTTP request, which is then passed into your model's create method, allowing the user to escalate themselves to an administrator. However, before doing so, you will need to specify either a fillable or guarded attribute on the model, as all Eloquent models protect against mass-assignment by default.Ī mass-assignment vulnerability occurs when a user passes an unexpected HTTP parameter through a request, and that parameter changes a column in your database you did not expect.

The easiest way to create a model instance is using the make:model Artisan command: All Eloquent models extend Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model class.

For more information on configuring your database, check out the documentation. Models allow you to query for data in your tables, as well as insert new records into the table.īefore getting started, be sure to configure a database connection in config/database.php.

The Eloquent Shakespeare: A Pronouncing Dictionary for the Complete Dramatic Works with Notes to. Now, a question might be arriving in your mind that where should you define these “on-the-fly” relationships? Well, the answer is, you can define these relationships in the boot method of one of your service providers and you’ll good to go. In our case, we have passed customer_id explicitly. Inside the Closure, you can define relationships as you’d normally do but with an exception where you’ll need to provide explicit key name arguments to the Eloquent relationship methods. The first parameter is the name of the relationship that we want to define and second, is a Closure which receives an instance of the model on which we want to define the relationship.

Endoscopy can be done by many veterinarians. On these birds, the sex must be determined by either a surgical probe, endoscopy, or by a DNA testing. However the eye coloration is not so pronounced on some species. This helps to determine the sex of the bird. On most species of Cockatoo, the eye iris of the female will become red to red-brown after about two years. Cockatoos are thought to be the longest lived of all parrots with examples cited of the Greater Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo having lived over 100 years. It is difficult to determine the age of a cockatoo, however young cockatoos will have a beak that is smooth and pale and their plumage will be paler, while an older bird’s beak will be darker and have striations and their plumage will have a fuller coloration. Their beaks are enormously powerful and they can easily demolish objects. They have “erectile crests”, which is a mobile crest of feathers. These birds both look and behave differently than any of the other parrots, and are some of the longest lived.Ĭockatoos mostly have a single color plumage, either white or dark. A cockatoo can take apart or demolish a wooden toy in no time! The term “cockatoo” is a Malaysian word thought to have possibly two meanings, “pincher” or “old father”. The term ‘pincher’ is definitely descriptive as the cockatoos have extremely powerful beaks. They are found in the tropical rainforests which are wet with high temperatures, on the grassy plains, and on the dry savannahs. ![]() ![]() Cockatoos in the wild are found in three very distinct ranges. The cockatoos natural habitats are found over large areas of Australia and Indonesia.

Bored cockatoos are notorious for developing bad habits such as screeching and feather plucking. However, two pet cockatoos can be ideal if you are not able to devote so much time and attention as the bird will demand. You will need to spend a good deal of time playing with it and sharing affections on a regular daily basis. A single cockatoo will thrive as your pet only if you devote time and attention to it. A happy cockatoo spends most of its waking time performing, or examining and manipulating its toys and other cage objects.īecause of their loving quailties and intelligence, Cockatoos have a very high need for attention, affection, and interaction.

The team is experimenting with reagent lyophilization, a method of freeze-drying biological material that can extend enzyme shelf life.

"We wanted to create a viable alternative to the PCR for people to use at home, without having to endure the invasive nasal test." "PCR test results take about an hour to develop in a lab, but you have to factor in the time it takes to send the sample to a lab and for the lab to process it," said principal investigator Weihua Guan, associate professor of electrical engineering and of biomedical engineering in Penn State's College of Engineering.
