these 2 tracks are actually included on the album "Tonight, Lets All Make Love in London". This is good stuff even though it is blatently lacking in material, it is only an EP and is only meant to show off some rare floyd stuff. This is a good, but not essential listen. I recommend this to completionists but otherwise leave it as one of the last pink floyd records you buy.
This EP contains the first known live recordings of PINK FLOYD. They are taken from Peter Whitehead's short motion picture "Tonight Let's All Make Love in London" (although out-of-print it still available on Laser Disc, and VHS formats). The two tunes are also found on the "Tonight Let's All Make Love in London" Original Soundtrack. A 'special collector's edition' of this "London Live 66-67" CD was also released with an accompanying CD-ROM video of PINK FLOYD's performance. (I actually saw the imported version of this CD/CD-ROM initially priced at 85$ Cdn when first released!) So as you see, many different formats are available of these somewhat rare recordings.
Very uncharacteristically, Nick Mason takes centre stage for the only known version of the percussive 'Nick's Boogie', a wandering cacophony of a song. Although sounding a bit at times like a scary-movie soundtrack, this song has its moments, if you can stay focused as it noodles its way to the 11 minute mark. If you like the song 'A Saucerful of Secrets' than this might be for you.
The special edition (released in 1995, not 1999) cardboard cd case for "London Live 66-67" is quite exquisite. It has some contemporary still pics of Syd from the recording session, as well as the other 'cast members' of the "Tonite..." Movie.
Not really much to say about it, this is an EP which only shows a couple of their early psychedelic and longer tracks, two of the finest compositions made in the Barrett era, we can clearly notice it (of course if we know the band), because for those who doesn't know Pink Floyd, they would probably think this could be any other band but Floyd.
So what we have here is "Interstellar Overdrive" which is a clear example of their psychedelic roots, and which we can find inside The Piper of the Gates of Dawn, but this EP contains a live version of the song, whose time duration is even longer, so the trip will last more. This is an excellent song but actually you would not think that it is Pibk Floyd if you are only familiar with works like Darkside of the Moon or Wish You Were Here, the sound is completely different, instrumental song led by psychedelic guitars and some spacey synth sound here and there, the music might be repetitive but their value lies in those repetitions, though you might love or hate the song, feel bored or excited, it's your call.
Nick's Boogie as the name suggests, it's fouces on drums so Nick Mason's work here is remarkable, it is his song, his music, his sound, of course he makes this HIS song. And practically the style is similar to the first song, it is like a jamming with psychedelic tendencies which is growin and progressin through the minutes, the intensity also increases and decreases, you know like a carrousel. It is full of strange noises mainly created by guitars, though bass and keys also play a nice role on it, but as i pointed out firstly, the leadership is taken by the drums.
So there you have a couple of early Pink Floyd songs, both of them over ten minutes, so if you want to know thei earlier stuff and also played live, you can get this EP, i like it, it is good, but i do not play it frequently and i honestly would not recommend it, so only if you are a PF fan, then you should get it without a doubt.
My final grade: 2 stars.
Pink Floyd were formed in 1965, and originally consisted of four university students Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, Richard Wright and Nick Mason. In 1963 Mason and Waters initially met each other while they were studying architecture at the Regent Street Polytechnic, in London. The pair first played together on a band with some other band members, and later, another fellow also a student, Wright, joined to them. The name of the band was Sigma 6. In the late of 1963, with the age of 17, Barrett arrived at London to study at the Camberwell College of Art. Waters and Barrett were childhood friends. Waters often visited Barrett when he played guitar at his mother's house in Cambridge. Meanwhile, the original name of Sigma 6 changed to others on several occasions. In 1964, some band members left the group to form another band. So, one year later in 1965, the four students joined together and form the new band, The Pink Floyd Sound. The Pink Floyd Sound was created by Barrett and the name was derived from the names of two blues musicians Pink Anderson and Floyd Council, whose records Barrett had in his personal musical collection. The band's name was simplified, ending just as Pink Floyd.
When Barrett began to write his own musical compositions, strongly influenced by the British and the American psychedelic rock, soon Pink Floyd became as one of the favourite groups in the underground movement. So, the band was playing regularly at some places like the UFO Club, The Marquee Club and The Roundhouse.
At the end of 1966, Pink Floyd were invited to contribute with some songs to the film who was to be called 'Tonight Let's All Make Love In London' of Peter Whitehead. Whitehead began working on a project for the British Film Institute, a documentary which had the finality to transmit the essence of the live, in that authentic kaleidoscopic period, of the London's cultural history. In 11 January 1967, Pink Floyd went into the Sound Techniques Studio, in London, for a two days demo sessions, and they were filmed while the band played two long instrumental pieces 'Interstellar Overdrive' and 'Nick's Boogie'. Only a few excerpts of the Pink Floyd's music, made the final cut of 'Tonight Let's All Make Love In London', which eventually screened in December 1967. Nevertheless, these two songs were released on a kind of a live EP called 'London 66-67' and on a DVD, with the same name, both released in 1999.
This live album, with only two tracks, contains the first known live recordings of Pink Floyd. The Barrett's musical era of Pink Floyd is a strange audio experience indeed, and those who are familiar only with the band's music from the 70's and 80's musical material, might be a little bit surprised and even shocked with some lack of cohesion, melody and musical arrangements of their earlier musical period. This was only pure psychedelic music, added with an avant-garde attitude and experimentation, jazz, classical and a kind of an earlier progressive rock.
So and as I wrote before, the group performed two pieces of music in the Sound Techniques Studio. 'Interstellar Overdrive' was originally a psychedelic musical composition written in 1966, which appears for the first time on their debut studio album 'The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn' released in 1967 and with almost ten minutes length. At the time it was a staple for the band. However, the live version on this live album, as I said before, is an earlier version with almost seventeen minutes and which was recorded for the documentary film of Whitehead. This live version is, in my humble opinion, a superior version of its studio version, and is also more representative of the Pink Floyd's psychedelic sound of their earlier musical career. 'Nick's Boogie' was originally a song which was never recorded on any Pink Floyd studio albums. It's a live improvisation of an experimental piece of music based on Mason's drum work. This track has some interesting drum work, but is definitely much less interesting than the previous one.
Conclusion: This live album, is without any doubt an undeniable and historical very interesting live document, especially because it represents the first and rare live document by this indispensable and historical band, and also because it has a very rare participation, on live, of their founding guitarist band member, Barrett. Sincerely, this was the only real reason that made me buy this live album. For some who enjoy the groovy 60's musical aura, this live album probably will be a great album, but for the others, it might be a little bit boring and a disappointing thing. 'Live 66-67' is a very special Pink Floyd's album. If you are a fanatic fan of the earlier Pink Floyd's musical career, especially with Barrett as a band member, this is definitely a compulsory purchase. However, if you are only a fan of their more elaborated musical stage of the 70's and 80's, beware of it. For me, this is a nice album with some musical and historical interest, but that I don't play usually, and that I sincerely don't recommend to anyone, unless you are a real fanatic Pink Floyd's fan. So, I sincerely think that this is definitely an album only for collectors and fans, like me.

Harry Styles Pivots to Power Pop on the Breezy Fine Line
The One Direction alum matures as a songwriter on his sophomore LP
by Bryan Rolli
on December 16, 2019, 8:25am
The Lowdown: Harry Styles emerged from the wreckage of One Direction a full-fledged rock star on his 2017 eponymous solo debt, which showcased an artist who finally had access to world-class studios, a red-hot backing band, and all the David Bowie LPs of his dreams. The frontman tackled a smorgasbord of classic rock stylings with gusto and puppy-dog earnestness, only occasionally lapsing into pastiche. Still, Styles had convincingly reinvented himself as a global pop star with a rocker's heart, one who would only improve when given a few years to hone his craft. So, when the 25-year-old heartthrob told Rolling Stone his sophomore LP was "all about having sex and feeling sad," fans were naturally delighted that it would reflect his two greatest skills.
Turns out he was only being half-truthful. On Fine Line, Styles trades in his two primary muses, Jagger and Bowie, for a host of new inspirations: Fleetwood Mac, Ram-era McCartney, and power-pop icons Badfinger and Big Star. The result is an airy, melancholy album that diplomatically addresses heartache while declining to wallow in it. Fine Line is often disarmingly vulnerable and brimming with cunning observations, yet it's also woefully short on moments of unadulterated rawk, content to smolder when a fireball of sexual bravado would have been preferred.
(Buy: Tickets to Upcoming Harry Styles Shows)
The Good: Fine Line is at its best when it's at its most specific, as its middle (and strongest) third tackles the stages of romantic grief. "There's a piece of you in how I dress, take it as a compliment," Styles croons on the aching "Cherry," a spiritual successor to his own "Sweet Creature" that would sound right at home on the back end of Rubber Soul (the Capitol version, duh). It's seemingly about Styles' ex-girlfriend, French model Camille Rowe; a voicemail playing over the fade-out eliminates any doubt. Up next is the gorgeous piano ballad "Falling", a readymade mid-set tearjerker if there ever was one. "The coffee's out at the Beachwood Cafe, and it kills me 'cause I know we've run out of things we can say," Styles laments, taking a cue from another ex and fellow chart-topper Taylor Swift by turning an intimate, personal moment into a portrait of universal heartbreak.
The boy's not too proud to cop to his own faults, though. "I'm just an arrogant son of a bitch who can't admit when he's sorry," Styles confesses on "To Be So Lonely," another acoustic ditty that aspires to the ramshackle charm of McCartney's pastoral work. And on the sultry "She", the singer acknowledges that his ideal woman is just a figment of his imagination who's confined to his daydreams. It sounds like the most painful admission of all, as Styles yelps in an anguished falsetto that gives way to Mitch Rowland's smoky (albeit slightly pedestrian) outro guitar solo. It's the closest Styles and his bandmates come to fully cutting loose, and that flexing is sorely missed on the rest of Fine Line. What's a classic rock record without some histrionics?
The Bad: Unfortunately, while Styles has sharpened his lyricism, he's sacrificed some charisma and his knack for a stadium-sized hook. Nothing here matches the effortless sing-along quality of "Carolina" or the sweaty adrenaline rush of "Kiwi" (and there's not a single lyric half as nonsensically brilliant as "When she's alone, she goes home to a cactus"). The plodding "Watermelon Sugar" commits the cardinal sin of being far less interesting than its title while psychedelic trifle "Sunflower, Vol. 6" is a marvelous instrumental showcase that forgets to be an engrossing song.
Styles also sells some of these tracks short by restraining himself vocally. He never rises above speaking volume on album opener "Golden", stripping the propulsive groove and indelible, Fleetwood Mac-inspired backing vocals of their thunder. He sleepwalks through the campy "Treat People with Kindness", leaving the heavy lifting to a gospel choir and funky guitar break cribbed from Edgar Winter Group's "Free Ride". By the time he lets out an ecstatic shriek and requisite "All together now!" in the outro chorus, it's too little, too late.
The Verdict: Styles is a more confident and precise songwriter on Fine Line than on his debut, even if the progress is incremental rather than exponential. He gives himself space to brood and invites listeners to dissect his anguish. Now, Styles needs to be reminded that honesty and raucousness are not mutually exclusive, and "distortion" isn't a dirty word. If he combines the roguish energy of his debut with the bittersweet sincerity of Fine Line, he may just reach the glorious heights of his rock and roll forebears. Harry Styles has mastered the art of being sad. Here's to more sex on LP3.

"Creature of the Night High Pointing, 2004"
A business trip finished early, and I found myself hanging out in the Midwest, with nowhere to go. I'd brought along some rudimentary gear (thermals and hiking boots) under the theory I'd traipse over to some local hills for exercise on the weekend. Welcome to Illinois, it's not California. There weren't any "hills". Oops. Plan B. The state high point will guide me. Illinois is closed except 4 weekends a year. I consider the life of the pre-felony trespasser. Visions of fighting off the cat hoard guarding Charles Mound cloud my eyes. Maybe not.
Wisconsin. Now that sounds promising. A county park, easy to find, almost 2000 feet of altitude. Woo hoo. I was in business. And hey, that Michigan high point looks close too while I'm at it. With a bit of GPS loading, a quick jaunt down of the directions from the web, and I had plan B.
By 1 p.m. Saturday, I'd secured my rental car, and was motoring through the land of endless tolls. My carefully crafted plan was to arrive at the WI high point around 4pm, finish it off under the rays of the setting sun, and then drive up to Michigan, sleep over night in the hamlet of L'Anse, and have a nice walk Sunday morning. Easy as 1-2-3.
Distances are deceiving. The sun briefly appeared around 4pm, just to settle under the horizon. I was still about 90 minutes out from Tomahawk. I hoped the plans of mice were going better. Eventually I arrived in Tomahawk, around 6pm. My directions from the web were limited to "about 5 miles west of Tomahawk". Luckily, I'd picked up a Wisconsin map at the welcome center, and they were happy enough to mark the location of the "peak". I could see it was just a nice jaunt down road 86 to the west, and I proceeded through the dark town (except for the bright holiday decorations in vast abundance). After quite a bit of driving, I passed such memorable locations as "Road to the Airport", "Spirit Falls (unincorporated)" and "Spirit (unincorporated)". The granularity of my map said that I should be near it after passing Spirit, so I fired up the GPS, and it told me "just a little bit further". Sure enough, moments later, "Road to Timm's Hill" arrived. I believe this was actually "County Road C". I drove down this nice dark road, and eventually crossed onto a rural road -- a nearby sign informed me that the Timm's Hill County park was 1/4 mile down the rural road.
The gate was closed, and I looked at the "County Park Hours, 7:30am to Dusk" sign unhappily. Well, I guess it wasn't Dusk somewhere. That's what I kept telling myself. The full moon was out, and it wasn't too bad going. I was sad I hadn't brought my headlamp, but when I left for the trip, I only thought I'd do some "short daytrips". The snow was hard packed and crunchy (the snow had appeared magically out of nowhere once I got off the main roads). I walked down the obvious snow trail that was the road, and eventually found a county park sign that proclaimed "Timm Hill Trail". I turned right onto the trail, and walked around this small hillside. On the left, I could see an empty field with a bunch of houses. Dogs were barking at me as I kept crunching loudly through the dark woods. The GPS said I was going away from Timm's Hill. I thought "damn those web people got the GPS location wrong!!!". But then, the trail led out the driveway of the nearby farmhouse and back to the main road. I WAS going the wrong way.
After retracing my steps back to the original sign, I looked around for some trail that led the way I wanted to go. There was a road that traversed the hillside of what looked to be the probably location of the summit. I followed it for a bit, then finally decided it was time to "go direct". A short scramble up about 200 feet of snowy hillside led me to the tower. Success! After the obligatory photograph of the geographic survey marker, the obligatory unsuccessful (I never find these things) search for the register, I decided to ascend the tower. I wished I had crampons there was so much ice on that thing, but I made it to the top, and enjoyed the view of the farm house lights off in the distance. 7:00 p.m.


What Can Film and TV Learn From Creative Tech?
Should traditional creative companies be learning more from tech?
In my forthcoming book Running a Creative Company in the Digital Age I talk to forward thinking creative tech investors, MDs and CEOs about what a thriving business means today.
Something that has come across is a continuing difference in attitude between aspiring entrepreneurs in the traditional creative industries such as film and TV, where my experience is, and creative tech start-ups.
" In most creative businesses, the number one guiding principle is to create something that will get critical acclaim – and in marketing terms, to create a brand which will allow for more work. Only once they get established, which for most creatives is mid-career, 5-10 years in, do they look at it from the perspective of a business i.e. have I got anything here that can live outside my personality and creative talent and is repeatable, replicable and scaleable".
So in the digital age where so many platforms merge and so much content is inter-dependent, why aren't more small film and TV start-ups thinking big, or partnering up with creative tech to corner markets like Virtual and Augmented Reality, and Artificial Intelligence? The creative potential for these platforms is huge.
Charlie Price, founder and CEO of creative tech company Mini Screen Pictures, describes his own journey from TV development through the start up funding jungle and how his partnership with a key technology expert was a breakthrough moment for his young company.
The FANGS – Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Google – constantly tell their staff to keep thinking about the innovative. They manage to keep entrepreneur capitalism as their model, rather than the traditional rentier model of making money off existing assets. Many creative ventures are still using the rentier business model in an age where entrepreneur capitalism means an ongoing relationship with the buyer and the client. Innovative businesses today are asking how they can use the premium model of hooking a client, and then establishing a fertile long term collaborative relationship over time – so that everyone rides the tide wave of digital innovation together.
Face to face meeting will surely continue to be the most useful and enjoyable way to connect in business, no matter how sophisticated virtual interaction becomes. Even when Virtual Reality has become so mainstream that events are routinely coordinated through multiple VR headsets, it will probably never beat the real thing – at least until human brains have evolved sufficiently – and that may take some time!
As those of us who have tried online dating know, it's possible to feel you have connected deeply with someone in the digital world and have zero chemistry in person. Our brains and the memories laid down within them are linked to emotional experience, so people who make an impression in the flesh are more likely to stay with us and those relationships more likely to move forward in the real world. What we say is only a small part of making a lasting impression on another human being – non verbal cues, body language, smell, emotional history and many other factors are in the mix too.
For those really vital connections, I always meet the person face to face. And so, inevitably, we come to that most ubiquitous of business terms: Networking.
Some of us love getting out there, pressing the flesh, getting our energy from other people. I'm not one of them. As someone towards the introverted side of the spectrum, I've discovered that while I really enjoy the company of others, I get my energy from time alone to recharge and contemplate. Although not generally lacking in confidence, I enjoy small groups and one on one better than large crowds. So all the parties, large networking events, festivals, conferences etc. that come with the territory of running a creative company can sometimes be a drain on the energy needed to push ahead, rather than a spur to collaboration as they are intended to be.
I am not alone in this, and agree with author and co-founder of the Quiet Revolution Susan Cain who, in her fantastic book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking (a revelatory book for me) who argues that we should not fight or repress our introversion, but should embrace it. I spent many years pretending to be an extrovert, because the society I live in does not accord much respect to my more introspective nature and need for quiet, space, reflection and perspective. You only have to google the words introverted and extroverted to discern a cultural bias. But this is society's loss; there are many positive aspects to being on the introverted side of the spectrum and the more obstructive things can be managed, with a little self- awareness.
The tendency to be introverted or extroverted can be situation and company dependent, and it is on a fluid spectrum so don't be too quick to box yourself into a category, but it does help to be realistic about how you interact and what brings out your confidence or inhibition. Remember, introversion and confidence are not mutually exclusive and introverts are not necessarily "shy" (although we often are) – we just have a way of processing the world that has not been properly expressed in our culture until very recently.
A useful pre-networking event strategy for introverts is deep research (one of my favourite things)! Research an event's attendees before you go. This foreknowledge means you can zero in on those who seem on your wavelength, armed with a nugget of information from your exhaustive online digging the night before. Another is to have a pre-decided exit time (although you will hopefully not stick to it). I don't advise going with friends because if you're anything like me, you will probably just talk to them.
Over the years I have learned to respect the calm inner voice that says "it's time to go" but also not listen to the panicked inner voice that says "get me out of here!". The former is telling me that it's time to recharge, the latter is not giving the event a chance because of social discomfort – which can ultimately mean losing out.
So force yourself to stay for an hour, at least – and remember that there are several people there in exactly the same boat as you, however they appear. Human beings vary in the way they negotiate these situations but you can be sure that at any large networking event there are many introverted as well as extroverted people present and if they can stick it out for a bit, so can you.
I was at a swanky event years ago with a friend and was bemoaning my awkwardness to him afterwards when he said "how do you think I felt – I was the only brown face in the room". It really made me think, and put my own difficulties into perspective. Sometimes we're so inside our own heads that we don't think about the internal experience of other people.
That first conversation is the most awkward to kick off, and after this people join your group so that it flows more easily. You eventually find that you're enjoying it, and time has flown as much as the wine. If no one is approaching you, wait for one of your pre-researched targets to become available and do it yourself. If it doesn't go well you will probably never encounter this person again so it matters very little – and if it does you may have found a long term partner, collaborator or funder for your work.
As Susan Cain attests, extrovert is not always best. Remember that the qualities of thoughtfulness, perspective, listening ability, authenticity and focused attention are attractive in these situations too. In discussions I often have a different approach and communication style to extroverts, and this can be an incredibly useful thing in a group dynamic because I am not afraid to speak out. It aids group cohesion and helps to include those around the table who are not talking.
The qualities of introverts are essential to running a business well. Mixing extroverts and introverts according to their strengths within organisations makes very good business sense – just look at Apple, founded by introvert Steve Wosniak and extrovert Steve Jobs – now the most successful company on the planet.
How do Creatives Navigate the Legal Landscape of Digital?
For any company to run smoothly, grow and flourish, the basic legal aspects must be right at foundation stage; but creative companies today have a whole lot more to think about besides.
The digital age has heralded such exponential change and innovation that no one really knows what's next. It's an exciting and inspiring time, but also means a hundred shades of legal grey when it comes to content distribution, collaborations, industry consolidation, protecting and legalising your IP, working with influencers, digital monetisation and company valuation when looking for seed investment or growing your company.
In my book Running a Creative Company in the Digital Age I look at the nuts and bolts of setting up your company with Companies House, registering with HMRC, deciding on your business partners, the formation of your board, shareholders and voting, paying yourself, staff and premises – and how to avoid a messy divorce with partners.
I talk to legal expert Clive Halperin, partner at GSC Solicitors LLP, who gives valuable advice on what creative companies need to do from start up to exit or wind up, how IP exploitation works, staying ahead of the creative tech curve and the importance of "Pre-nups" for your company.
I also explore employment law, talk about the possible effects of Brexit on the creative community and give you a heads up on all the lovely little legal surprises that might come your way as a Founder/MD/CEO.
Bobby Lane, Head of Outsourcing and Business Development Shelley Stock Hutter LLP Chartered Accountants, has a sunny take on post Brexit Britain to contrast with my decidedly gloomy one.
Bobby says: "I believe there are more opportunities for creative businesses than there were before Brexit. There is a huge pool of talent in UK creative industries and international businesses will still want to tap into these resources".
Steve Leith, Audit Partner Media Technology Group with media veterans Grant Thornton Accountants gives us the benefit of his considerable expertise on Government tax schemes, company valuation for content creators and pioneering tech, Initial Public Offerings and what's hot for investors in digital content right now.
The Growth section of the book goes into detail about selling your business, buying one of your competitors and whether it's worth going public by floating on the AIMmarket, and the last section looks at the ins and outs of company wind up or insolvency.
Whatever stage you're at with your creative venture, it always pays to keep on top of the legal stuff!
My book Running a Creative Company in the Digital Age, will be released on 24th February 2017.
This is, obviously, a book about how to set up and run a creative company in today's climate. It's an accessible, nuts and bolts guide covering the lifecycle of a creative business through the stages of start up, growth, and selling or winding up – something I felt was sorely needed, and could certainly have done with myself in the beginning.
It is also a call to arms for a more progressive attitude to work in the creative industries, and particularly film and TV.
I ran my production company Mandrake Films from 2008 to 2016. It was a wonderful experience and a steep learning curve.
When I became a sole parent, and the job became too much with the added stress of very difficult personal circumstances, I assumed that it would be possible to take a break and work part time for someone else.
Having always been flexible with my own staff, fitting around their lives on the assumption that they were talented and hard working enough to get the job done, I assumed that others in the production industry were doing the same. I was confident that, for me as a very experienced producer, flexible working was an option. In my case, it wasn't.
The book emerged in part from a desire to suggest a way forward, and talk to those who were leading the charge. I interview a wide range of people, including joint CEO of flexible working charity Timewise, head of the C4 Growth Fund, the progressive MD of a forward thinking digital agency and CEO of creative tech investment company Capital Enterprise.
There are so many areas that need dragging into the 21st century. Flexible working, job sharing, genuine diversity in gatekeeper roles as well as in front of and behind the camera, paying key creatives properly and respect for people as rounded human beings who can get the job done in their own way and their own time – these things are key to the future health of our creative workforce.
We need to reorganise working spaces to accommodate different personality types (ditch the hot-desking and open plan, give people options for retreat and concentration as well as interaction) and stop shooing creatives away from business and finance.
Too often, the originator and creative driver of a project is not paid enough to make a living. Indeed, creatives themselves should stop pleading ignorance and the lack of a business head – it just gives those who control the purse strings and write the contracts an excuse to exclude them further. Creative tech companies are dominating the landscape with their adaptability, can-do attitude, smart creative/finance pairings and investment savvy; let's take a leaf out of their book.
More women, and more people from a range of socio-economic, gender identities, and ethnic backgrounds, need to set up shop in our creative industries and thrive there. We need their contribution to and representation in our culture.
That's why we need organisations like Raising Films and Timewise. Let's stop paying lip service to this stuff, and do it for real.

Q: Кастомная авторизация Symfony Делаю кастомную авторизацию на сайте, перед авторизацией проверяем есть ли юзер в БД, если его нет, то сначала регистрируемся, с этим проблем нет, и потом непосредственно авторизация, из-за слишком многих слоёв абстракции непонятен внутренний механизм  авторизации, понятно что создаётся User obj с ролью, который сохраняется между запросами по аналогии $_SESSION в чистом ПХП. Подскажите как лучше реализовать такую логику, по сути мне нужно вызвать экшен авторизации после регистрации или отказа в регистрации если юзер уже есть. Форма на сайте одна(она же регистратор и авторизатор).
Сейчас у меня контроллер AuthOrRegister
"@Route("/login"

В нем создаётся объект /Entity/User заполняются нужные поля, пришедшие в Request(из инпутов), хэшируем пароль:
$passwordHasher->hashPassword(
        $user,
        $params['password']
    );

дальше try catch flush() этого объекта через $doctrine->getManager(). И дальше уже нужно запустить механим авторизации, на основании этих данных из инпут полей. На чистом пхп такая логика реализуется за 15 минут. Фактически мне нужно в моем контроллере реализовать AuthentificatorInterfaces или переопределить методы какого то другого класса, вот какого и как мне непонятно, для того чтобы сохранить работу фаервола и не сломать механизм авторизации симфони. Форма у меня простая без php классов в /Form, просто инпуты в _auth.html.twig

A: После попытки регистрации или не успешной регистрации(пользователь уже зарегистрирован ранее) - делаем редирект на /login.
        return $this->redirectToRoute('login', [
            'request' => $request
        ], 307);

Таким образом нужно два логика выглядит так:

*

*/index - после ввода полей идёт POST на /register

*/register - попытка регистрации, если не удалась, то пробуем авторизоваться /login

*/login - попытка авторизации, если не удалась то редирект через security.yaml
firewalls:
main:
form_login:
failure_path: login_failure
ps
После чистого PHP трудно привыкнуть что есть какие то службы, которые могут тупо перехватывать неявно запросы и выполнять логику по авторизации - security

Albert Einstein Quotes About Affairs
Quotes about: Affairs
I believe that pipe smoking contributes to a somewhat calm and objective judgement in all human affairs.
Believe, Smoking, Judgement
To act intelligently in human affairs is only possible if an attempt is made to understand the thoughts, motives, and apprehension of one's opponent so fully that one can see the world through their eyes.
Eye, World, Opponents
Albert Einstein (2000). "Albert Einstein in his own words in two complete books: Relativity-the special and general theory; Out of my later years-the scientist, philosopher and man portrayed through his own words"
There is nothing divine about morality; it is a purely human affair. If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed. What the individual can do is to give a fine example, and to have the courage to uphold ethical values .. in a society of cynics.
Sorry, Punishment, People
It is the duty of every citizen according to his best capacities to give validity to his convictions in political affairs.
Courage, Honesty, Integrity
"Our Goal Unity, but Germans Are Unfit", Free World, no. 4, 370-371, October 8, 1944.
Today we must abandon competition and secure cooperation. This must be the central fact in all our considerations of international affairs; otherwise we face certain disaster. Past thinking and methods did not prevent world wars. Future thinking must prevent wars...The stakes are immense, the task colossal the time is short. But we may hope- we must hope- that man's own creation, man's own genius, will not destroy him.
War, Past, Men
"The Real Problem is in the Hearts of Man" by Michael Amrine, New York Times Magazine, June 23, 1946.
Scientists believe that every occurrence, including the affairs of human beings, is due to the laws of nature. Therefore a scientist cannot be inclined to believe that the course of events can be influenced by prayer, that is, by a supernaturally manifested wish.
Prayer, Believe, Law
Albert Einstein (2002). "Dear Professor Einstein: Albert Einstein's Letters to and from Children", Pyr Books
Since I do not forsee that atomic energy is to be a great boon for a long time, I have to say that for the present it is a menace. Perhaps it is well that it should be. It may intimidate the human race into bringing order into its international affairs, which, without the presence of fear, it would not do.
Fear, Race, Order
Everybody felt his superiority, but nobody felt oppressed by it. Though he had no illusions about people and human affairs, he was full of kindness toward everybody and everything. Never did he give the impression of domineering, always of serving and helping. He was extremely conscientious, without allowing anything to assume undue importance; a subtle humor guarded him, which was reflected in his eyes and in his smile.
Kindness, Eye, People
There is nothing divine about morality, it is a purely human affair.
Religious, Science, Words Of Wisdom
Albert Einstein (2011). "The World As I See It", p.28, Open Road Media
In matters of trust and justice there can be no distinction between big problems and small, for the general principles which determine the conduct of men are indivisible. Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted in important affairs.
Men, Justice, Important
We must learn the difficult lesson that the future of Mankind will only be tolerable when our course, in world affairs as in others, is based upon justice and law rather than the threat of naked power.
Law, Justice, Naked


A stiff neck develops from a wide variety of causes. Although the specific stiff neck causes will vary between individual situations, some common reasons occur in many cases. By understanding the possible causes, it is easier to treat the situation and reduce the discomfort.
Poor posture can cause strains and pulls in the neck, which in turn cause a feeling of stiffness, pain and discomfort. The stiff neck causes that are related to poor posture often develop throughout the day and worsen as the day lengthens. Poor sleeping posture also causes strains and tension in the neck.
The strains from poor posture are usually minor and will require better posture to help recover. By taking measures to improve posture, the neck is properly supported and the risk of developing a strain will reduce.
Infections are potential stiff neck causes that are usually accompanied by other symptoms. In many cases, the stiff neck is only one symptom of the illness and it is usually easy to determine that the discomfort is associated with the sickness.
Other symptoms that come with an infection include headaches, fevers and chills. The stiff neck is most commonly associated with infections near the spinal cord or brain, but can come from any type of infection that causes pain and discomfort.
Stiff neck causes are often related to injuries. Although the stiff neck might be a secondary discomfort when an injury occurs, it still requires treatment to ensure the neck can fully heal. Whiplash is a particularly uncomfortable and painful injury that might occur during an accident that needs time to heal.
The stress hormone can cause tension in the neck and shoulders, which in turn causes a stiff neck. Although some stress is part of a balanced life, it can easily get out of control. The hormone causes the muscles to tense up and ultimately leads to discomfort and pain throughout the neck and shoulder region.
Although stress causes a stiff neck, it is possible to control. By taking measures to reduce stress each day, the amount of hormones in the body will reduce and the discomfort and stiffness will reduce over time.
Developing any form of arthritis can result in stiffness and discomfort throughout the body. In some cases, the pain in the bones from the arthritis can result in muscle pain and tension that causes stiffness throughout the neck. Arthritis requires appropriate treatment measures as recommended by a doctor to handle the pain and reduce potential damage.
Developing a stiff neck is potentially painful and uncomfortable. Despite the discomfort, it is possible to reduce pain by taking appropriate measures. Finding the cause of a stiff neck is the first step of healing the muscles.

Bridge On Syria's M4 Blown Up As Turkish Forces Were Deploying On The Highway (Photos)
Click to see full-size image
Early on November 25, unidentified gunmen blew up the al-Nahel bridge on the M4 highway which links the port of Lattakia with Aleppo city, the industrial hub of Syria.
The bridge is located near the town of Muhambal in southwestern Idlib. Opposition sources said the gunmen blew up the bridge to block the M4 highway, where the Russian Military Police and Turkish forces carried out joint patrol earlier this year.
The gunmen blew up the bridge as Turkish troops were being deployed along the M4. The troops were likely preparing for a new patrol on the highway.
Turkey committed to secure and reopen the M4 highway under the March 5 agreement on Idlib with Russia. Several joint patrols were conducted on the highway. However, there were several attacks and the highway remained closedM4 by radical groups, mainly Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham.
Turkish forces are now boosting their presence south of the M4 highway and reportedly preparing to patrol the al-Zawiya Mount on their own.
The recent Turkish actions in Idlib indicate that Ankara is not on good terms with the militants in the region. However, it is still determined to support them against Syrian government forces and their allies.

If your child is anything like mine nail clipping no matter how you explain it is not a fun task.
When Sarah was an infant, there were two ways I could trim her nails. One time was during nursing and the other time when she was fast asleep. When breastfeeding stopped at age 13 months sleep time was the only time for this task.
No matter whether we used fun, playful or soothing music or even favorite toys and blankets, loud yelps would come from Sarah the moment I attempted to clip her nails. We even tried clipping my nails, Daddy's, and even Curious George's, but she wasn't having it.
So if any of these approaches work for you I am envious. For those whose children are more like mine, this is what we do. Have one pair of nail clippers at home and one in your diaper bag when you are out and about. When your child is asleep - clip, clip, clip. This weekend, for example, when Daddy was in Target picking up a few things, Sarah was asleep in her car seat I gave her a manicure and pedicure. This then became a much less stressful process for both mommy and toddler.
I look forward to the day Sarah is old enough to want to get every color of the rainbow painted on her trimmed nails. In the meantime, I will have to resort to nail trimmings at home or on the go when Sarah is fast asleep.
Any other tips or advice feel free to share.


DUBAI, Monday, June 24, 2013 - SAUDI Arabia on Sunday said it was switching its official weekend to Friday and Saturday, bringing the kingdom's working week in line with other members of the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council.
Saudi Arabia, the biggest Arab economy, had been the only Gulf Arab state to have a Thursday-Friday weekend after Oman shifted to a Friday-Saturday weekend last month.
A statement on national Saudi news agency SPA said the change, decreed by King Abdullah, will take effect as of this weekend.
According to the statement, this was "for the sake of putting an end to the negative effects and the lost economic opportunities consistently associated with variation based on work days between local departments, ministries and institutions and the regional and international counterparts".
King Abdullah issued the decree following a recommendation in April by the Kingdom's Shura Council, which advises the government on new laws, to change the country's official weekend from the current Thursday and Friday.
Since the royal decree that all businesses are to be shut for 2 hours on a Friday, can we perhaps move all government agencies and schools to be in line as it seems to have no detrimental effects(to the Muslims) in large private companies and the few government departments (notably those in MOF and MinDef).
This would be more in line and conducive for businesses, airlines pricing and such with the rest of ASEAN.


The Mandela Effect is whereby people have different memories of brand names, locations of the organs, famous movie sayings, geographical locations, Earth's location in the universe, building locations, and so much more. That is simply what many, most perhaps call it, however, it really is our merging parallel universes, merging reality, and our body and Earth preparing for a higher frequency, higher dimensional life for all. The king james bible changed, our own bodies have changed, we have moved our consciousness to an actual different physical body, physical world. We woke up one day from our nights sleep, our dream and we were in a different physical body, a different version of Earth: a New Earth.

WSIB A game that does classes really well.
Content of the article: "WSIB A game that does classes really well."
I've been messing around with some ARPG's, and while I'm not a fan of the gameplay loop (kill, loot, do it again) I LOVE the classes and their abilities. Especially in a game like Grim Dawn, which has several classes that can be combined to create even more playstyles.
So I'm looking for a game that has lots of classes, which all feel unique and interesting, but doesn't have the ARPG gameplay loop, so something a bit more interesting. I would say it should have a minimum of 5 available classes. And that the goal of the game is not to mindlessly kill enemies for loot. (I actually love loot, but I feel like ARPG's aren't real interesting, I'm not sure how to describe it, I think I just don't have the patience to play a game where the main gameplay is at end game).
Here are the games I've played that could qualify, as well as how much I enjoyed them.
Amazing: Dark Souls (I,II,III), World of Warcraft, Wizards101, Divinity Original Sin 2, Skyrim.
Real Good: Grim Dawn, Warframe (I think this counts as each Warframe could be its own class. This is a good reference for what I count as a class, whereas a game like Overwatch wouldn't count).
Decent, or haven't really gotten into: Path of Exile, Torchlight 2.
Read more: I need help with my attitude towards gaming
That's about what I can think of right now. Obviously the ARPG's do classes the best, but their gameplay loop takes away from that. Other games may not have the best classes, but their gameplay is solid. Also, a class isn't always a specific starting choice that is forced throughout the game. It could be like Dark Souls where your class is simply determined by your choices and how you steer your characters in terms of gear and abilities.
I think the 'point and click' ARPG model is horrendously outdated, but id love to be proven wrong

Hello, there's alot of good games in the switch, however i'm scared to find a game that will not worth my time, so i really hope that you guys will find 3 game that i should potentially really like! I like games that have a long gameplay,. I also the kind of guy that doesn't rush in a game, like i don't continue my mission until i find some cool and fun stuff behind the mission. So after completion may be something like 150+ hours. I don't like games that can just be extremly repetitive, i find games boring if…

On November 6, America's sham process occurs. On January 22, Israelis face the same Hobson's choice. Real choice is excluded from both ballots.Democracy is hypocrisy in both countries.
They targeted free expression and assembly. They intimidated independent media. They supported lawless settlement expansions on stolen Palestinian land.
Israel's 18th Knesset trashed rule of law principles. It mocked democratic values. It governed to the right of some despots. It gave Judaism a bad name. It enacted one repressive law after another. It took unprincipled shame to its highest level in Israeli history.
As its term ends, "good riddance" to what no free society should tolerate. Netanyahu, of course, is its worst member. He's a lawless world class thug.
He makes even sham democracy look like despotism. Israeli Arabs and Occupied Palestinians feel his harshness most. He despises Islam and shows it. He's unfit to serve. He belongs in prison. He's an illegitimate head of state.
He doesn't give a damn about Israel's benefit, just his own and supportive hardliners. On national television, he lied. He claimed his coalition government couldn't agree on a 2013 national budget. He said Israel's "most stable government in decades" is ending.
He claimed it helped strengthen Israel's security and fortify its economy during hard times. He stressed preventing Iran from having nuclear weapons.
He knows they have no plans to obtain them. Israel's so-called "stable government" is its most repressive ever. Early elections aren't because of budget disagreements. Netanyahu wants them when he's most able to retain a parliamentary majority.
Western and Israeli politics aren't about issues. They're about securingpower and keeping it.
On October 11, Netanyahu announced elections will occur on January 22. It's two days after America's inauguration. Netanyahu openly favors Romney. He and Obama express mutual dislike.
It's hard imagining why anyone likes either of them. They both head rogue regimes. They rule lawlessness. In 2013, expect no change in either country.
Polls show Obama and Romney closely matched. An Israeli Dialog poll shows Netanyahu's hardline coalition favored to win. Israelis denied choice seem stuck with him. Dread what's coming in both countries for good reason.
Israeli voters get sham options like Americans. Reality denies them real ones. Democracy exists in name only. Like Congress, hardliners infest the Knesset like crabgrass besets lawns. It's dominant and dismissive of rule of law principles. It spurns other democratic values.
Whatever changes show up in January, they're not enough to matter. "Israeli politics are bound to remain the same. (Its) defining characteristic" reflects coalition religious and political extremism. Together they're toxic.
Netanyahu looks certain for another term. Repressive Knesset politics will follow.
At the same time, he prioritizes a nonexistent Iranian threat. "In less than 100 days, the people of Israel will decide who will lead them in the face of the greatest security challenges we have known since the state was established," he claimed.
Fear is his electoral strategy. So is duplicity. Israelis, like Americans, fall for the scam every time.
Failure to act responsibly assures "an inevitable tragedy." West of the Jordan, Arabs already outnumber Jews. At the same time, they're treated like sub-humans. No state can survive governing this way.
Claiming territory illegally and governing repressively "means the (eventual) end of the democratic homeland of the Jews." The "Titanic" Israel is sinking.
Stenger stopped short of admitting it sank long ago. What passes for democracy in Israel is none at all. Netanyahu enforces police state harshness. He's also recklessly belligerent.
In the last 10 days, multiple air strikes targeted Gaza. Civilian neighborhoods were struck. At least eight Palestinians were killed. Dozens were wounded.
At the same time, Israeli gunboats fired live ammunition at Palestinian fishing boats. Luckily those on board escaped injury. These type attacks happen often. Injuries result and occasional deaths.
Vessels are usually damaged and/or confiscated. Arrests often follow. Imagine being charged with the crime of fishing in their own waters. Imagine the worst of anything in Occupied Palestine.
No one is safe anywhere, any time. Going to school, pray, or shop is hazardous. So is going to sleep. Middle-of-the-night raids target peaceful civilians. No one knows who's next or when.
On October 17, Radio Bethlehem 2000 said Israeli soldiers invaded Bethlehem pre-dawn. Arrests followed. Other Palestinians were targeted in Ramallah, Nablus, East Jerusalem, and Jericho.
Homes are lawlessly broken into while people sleep. Children are terrified. Some are arrested. Others watch their fathers dragged from bed and beaten.
Democracies don't operate this way. Despotic states do routinely. Palestinian communities are violated multiple times daily. Palestinians have no rights. Gaza remains suffocating under siege. Children are treated like adults.
State terror is policy. Equity and justice are four-letter words. Freedom isn't in Israel's vocabulary. Institutionalized repression most people can't imagine explains what Palestinians endure daily.
Gazans fear more war for good reason. Full-scale invasion threats are heard. In September, IDF chief Benny Gantz said Israel "is ready to wage a war on several fronts, including Gaza where homemade projectiles are fired on Israeli" territory.
Gazans fire homemade rockets in response to Israeli provocations. Usually multiple ones occur before Palestinians act. They do so in self-defense. It's their right. International law affirms it. Israel calls it terrorism.
There's more. Netanyahu warned it's ready to interdict the latest Gaza-bound humanitarian vessel. It's Swedish owned, operating under the Finnish flag.
"We pointed out that it is a civilian vessel and urged them to practice restraint in any action they take," Piipopen added. Sixteen activists are on board.
Israel attacks humanitarian missions ruthlessly. On May 31, 2010, Israeli commandos murdered nine Turkish nationals in cold blood. Dozens of others on board the Mavi Marmara were accosted, beaten and arrested.
Israel calls their mission and others like it a national security threat. Isn't that what all despotic regimes claim? Israel gets away with it because world leaders don't object. It's long past high time accountability was enforced.

We have salmon, once a week usually and this week, it was the first time, I remember making one with a ginger glaze. I say, "I remember" because since June 2009, I have gotten into this habit of weekly salmon. I won't say, I have not missed but I can say, I have not missed very often.
I attempt to change the salmon recipe weekly although I am sure, I must have duplicated. I search for new recipes or just be creative. As a result, we have had some "unusual" dishes but I can't think of one that was not good.
In my old blog, My Sweet and Savory, I was posting a new salmon recipe a week for a few months. I should bring them over here since I closed the other blog down, perhaps forever. I don't think, I can run two blogs these days.
In a large skillet, heat water, rice vinegar, brown sugar, chile paste, ginger, and soy sauce.
Add the salmon to the pan of simmering liquid and cook each side for about 8 minutes.
Remove from pan and serve. Eat and enjoy.
Dear Chaya, Salmon is one of my favorite fishes. I don't get to eat it very often. I do love the flavor of ginger with the salmon. This is a lovely meal.
This sounds delicious! Salmon is probably my favorite fish, and ginger is a great addition! Thanks so much for sharing it at Savoring Saturdays, I hope to see you back this weekend!
So simple and so much flavor. All of the ingredients in the glaze sound good together. Thanks for sharing, Chaya.

Great weekend! Have to update you that we never made the camping trip with our granddaughters due to late work on the van for the wheel bearing repair. We spent the time instead watching the Minions movie and baking brownies and cupcakes (just a little mishap that involved brownie dough, a ziplock "pastry" bag that didn't lock and clean-up on Aisle 4).
Back to this weekend … we started things off on Friday by hosting a back-to-school lunch for some of our former teaching colleagues on the deck. Everyone was surprisingly excited to talk about a new, upbeat start to the year with a new administration and some needed changes in philosophy. Good company and good food. Bernie presented us with two t-shirts we love: "Retired Teacher – Every Child Left Behind." We will be thinking about them on Monday morning when we don't get up early and head to school to greet new students. Our best wishes for a stress-free and successful year for our friends in the classroom.
Then we packed up the van, car, paddleboards, pets and bikes to head up to the Chattanooga area to camp the weekend and visit with my son, his girlfriend and her parents. Sort of a last-minute reservation, but we were surprised to find a really nice location on Chickamauga Lake in Harrison Bay State Park. The lake is beautiful, but our loop of the campground is mid-renovation. That meant that this very wooded site had just had it's water and electric service upgraded and all the roads and campsites were pretty much torn up, with lots of gravel spread around everywhere. Plus, these pull-through sites and access were pretty tight and none really level. But Jackie knows her stuff and she got the leveling blocks under the wheels and hydraulic lifts so we were level in no time. We scouted around the park on bikes to learn that there are much nicer sites, some along the waterfront, that we might consider for next visit.
Saturday was a good time for paddling around the lake edges, with lots of wake waves to negotiate (oops, fell a rare time). Alex, Bethany and her parents gave it a try and were pretty good at it. We spent the evening finishing off the salads left from lunch and several delicious rib-eyes, with stories about Bethany and Alex's time in Spain this summer. Did I mention that he really did run with the bulls in Pamplona? (well, he admits it was behind the bulls). Sangria was the celebratory drink of the evening, complimented by some Manchego cheese.
Well, what should be our next adventure?
We all had such a great time visiting with you on Friday. The lunch was absolutely wonderful and delicious. I felt so special and pampered! Thank you so much. You both will be greatly missed as we begin another school year tomorrow morning. It won't be the same without the Moodys, but we are very happy for you as you begin a new adventure.
Nice thoughts from one Teacher of the Year to another. Keep up the pressure on PTA and administration for a recognition area for our TOTYs. Susan also knows about the continuing conversation for a promised Wall of Fame or similar.
