And Thus Endeth The Great New York City Cycling Experiment
A few weeks back, there was a series of violent bike thefts on the Willis Avenue Bridge between Manhattan and the Bronx:
The latest incident occurred on Nov. 1, when a 34-year-old man rode his bike over the Willis Avenue Bridge at 6:15 a.m. Police say two men grabbed the rider off his bike and began to hit him in the face with a metal pipe. Emergency medics on the scene suspected that his nose was broken and took him to the hospital.
So what did the police do? They set up a sting operation in which undercover officers dressed as cyclists, and then they arrested all the assailants involved. Furthermore, there's now a patrol stationed there to make sure cyclists can pass over the bridge safely.
Just kidding!
No, actually what they're doing is ticketing cyclists for riding on the bike path:
Rienti says the officer told him that the precinct had received complaints about cyclists using the path. Rienti told the officer that it's a shared-use path where cyclists are allowed. "He sort of just shrugged his shoulders and wrote the ticket," Rienti said. "I thought he was going to give me some sort of warning."
And not only did they ding this guy for riding legally on a bike path, but then they dinged the poor guy again on the way home:
Update: Rienti says in a followup e-mail that he received another ticket on his commute home tonight on the Willis Avenue Bridge after an officer brushed away the DOT bike route information Rienti showed him. "He told me that you can only bike where there is a sign telling you it's okay," Rienti said, adding that he also plans to fight the second ticket in court.
You've got to admire the efficiency here. A few years back, the NYPD came up with the bright idea of parking in the bike lane, forcing cyclists to ride around them, and then ticketing the cyclists for leaving the bike lane. Of course, it's perfectly legal to leave the bike lane if you need to do so. Therefore, they've clearly realized that if they're going to give you a ticket for something that's perfectly legal, they might as well dispense with the trouble of setting up a blockade and instead just make up some shit about how "you can only bike where there is a sign telling you it's okay." And since, to my knowledge, there are very, very few signs that explicitly tell you "it's okay to bike here," that pretty much allows them to give you a ticket for simply being on a bike anywhere at any time.
Meanwhile, you already know this, but it bears mentioning that it's still totally acceptable to attempt to run down a cyclist with your taxicab and then sever a woman's leg in the process as she enjoys a frankfurter on the sidewalk:
Of course, nobody wants this to happen, and fortunately the president of the New York State Federation of Taxi Drivers has come up with an innovative solution:
Mr. Himon could not be reached for comment. But Fernando Mateo, president of the New York State Federation of Taxi Drivers, issued a statement calling the crash a "tragic accident" and suggesting that the appropriate response would be stricter regulation of cyclists.
This is such a staggeringly huge "Fuck You" to pretty much everybody in New York City that I'm surprised the New York Times isn't making a bigger deal of it.
Just kidding!
No, the Grey Lady's cataracts have left her pretty much blind to the fact that pedestrians are getting picked off by cars on a daily basis and that virtually all of the drivers receive the full protection of the city and state.
I went trough a period of being moronically optimistic with regard to the future of cycling in New York City when we started getting all this fancy infrastructure, but I have to admit I'm now thoroughly embarrassed and am reverting to the traditional "Every man, woman, and child for him-or-herself" mode. It's pretty sad how they rolled out those bike lanes, lured a bunch of people onto their bikes, and then systematically kicked them all in the groin one by one, but in retrospect it's not surprising. It's hard not to want to make a point of violating as many traffic laws as possible while cycling, because at least that way when you get a ticket for some bullshit offense like "operating a bicycle with an even number of wheels on a numbered street" you'll at least have amortized the cost of the fine. You have to figure if you run 200 lights in a week and then get a $200 ticket for "cycling in a northerly direction while breathing" at least you've paid only a buck a light.
Meanwhile, these two are still at it:
USA Today reports that Landis' lawyers will argue that the Wartime Suspension of Limitations act applies to the qui tam suit as the alleged federal fraud – the doping programme at US Postal – occurred in part while the United States was at war with Afghanistan.
The newspaper quotes Tony Anikeeff, an attorney with the Williams Mullen, who explained the background of the Wartime Suspension of Limitations Act. "It is a highly controversial provision of the False Claims Act. It is used by the Justice Department mostly in dealing with fraud in Afghanistan because we were at war," Anikeef said.
I admit I don't fully grasp the ethical implications of the Wartime Suspension of Limitations Act, but whatever they are they certainly pale in comparison to the importance of settling a stupid doped-up Lycra-clad cat fight. Maybe I can invoke the some kind of wartime defense the next time I get a ticket for riding a bicycle within 200 feet of a sidewalk--because this is America, and when the fuck isn't it wartime?
Anyway, it's remarkable that so many people and media outlets expend so much energy on a scandal within a sport that is marginally less exciting than curling. Really, the only way you could make stage racing more tedious would be to put it into board game form--which, incredibly, someone is now trying to do:
And, for which, even more incredibly, he wants $25,000:
Though when you look at those exquisite game pieces you begin to understand why:
Yeah, those wads of used chewing gum aren't going to paint themselves.
Oh, you're also allowed to "cut off a rider:"
You can cut off a rider if you want to slow him down but remember that he can do the same to you next time so be careful with whom you mess.
Which is how you know it was designed by a Cat 4. That's also how you know, despite the placeholder text, that there will ultimately be a card for "Sprints on the hoods, crashes self and half the field:"
It's hard to imagine a circumstance in which I'd play this game. I suppose I might consider it if I were snowed in for a period of weeks and there was no electricity, but then again I'd probably eat it to stay alive before I'd ever resort to actually playing it.
Lastly via CommieCanuck, if you're looking for a succinct overview of the Rob Ford scandal, here you go:
If nothing else, it makes me oddly proud that, in many ways, his profound hate for cyclists is what got him to where he is today.

Road Queen,
Don't ride your bike in Los Angeles either.
A single rider was recently ticketed on a group ride for taking the lane, which the law permits.
In most parts of L.A., it's understood that cyclists using roads are all poor, fringe-worker types, probably mentally ill and doing drugs at their jobs in restaurant kitchens. PD don't bother them because restaurant owners can't be without their back kitchen help!
A group ride is a visible threat. So, maybe L.A. is a little better. Just ride alone. And don't ask the PD to enforce law for cyclists.

Doing as little work as possible to get through the shift's donut and ticket quota is obviously a major cop motivation. But beyond that, there seems to be a perverse drive to find the most abusive ways of doing it.
Remember the Clarkson St. ticket trap for cyclists exiting the Hudson River bikeway we read about on Wildsnob a few months back? It takes work to come up with crap like that and the Willis Ave. Bridge thing, when there are cyclists actually breaking traffic laws all over the place whom they could hassle.
P.S. Can you help me find a publisher for my children's book about how the Qatar vagina stadium and the Iceland Smaralind penis mall get together?

It's a fucking corporatocracy, you won't get your rights back without a bloody war. Trouble is, almost everyone is unaware of just how much is at stake, and how badly they've been duped.
And it's worse still up here. We've gone and elected the dictator from hell. Harper's last stand will definitely be the Tar Sands.

A few months back there were repeat attacks on cyclists up north on the hudson greenway, the cops did nothing in response to that. Looks like the same response to the Willis Ave Bridge attacks. I was jogging in Riverside park last month and came across a the scene of a multiple stabbing. While we attended to the wounded and stood over the attacker (a citizen took him down) and waited for the cops to come which took about 10 minutes, I wondered how come there are no cops on patrol in this park? I asked myself the same thing a couple days earlier when a family was chased for about 10 minutes on a weekend afternoon on the west side highway by a large group of motorcyclists (after several calls to 911). The bikers eventually caught the guy pulled him from the car and beat the shit out of him in broad day light on a busy street in the middle of the city and where were the fucking cops? (turns out a couple off duty cops were with the attacking bikers). I wrote a letter to the NY Times about this, no response of course (as we know they are too busy with hard news stories). Police commissioner Ray Kelly's immediate response to the stabbings was to be defensive and say that there are very few crimes in the city's parks (tell that to one of the people who just had been stabbed). I use the park just about every day and even the day after the attack there was zero noticable police presence there? What the fucking fuck!

I think I could really only understand that Taiwanese Ford video in a drunken stupor.
He's eating cats, his pants are gone, he has magically grown more hair, and he seem to be humping a beaver at parts. Charlie Brown is wearing a Charlie Sheen mask and they all get their crack at Tim Snortins. All in gorgeous 3D rendering.
To make things even more bizarre, the local Toronto AM radio station cancelled their radio show, but, SunTV, a local conservative shite TV channel, will now have a weekly TV show starring the Fords, which Hollywood is watching intently, as Fox TV is thinking if giving Robs a reality TV show.
We used to gloat about Rush Limbaugh not being up in America's reservoir tip, but we smart-bombed you guys with Ted Cruz (who we thought we had aborted) and now Robs Fords.

BTW, Toronto Police setup a bike theft sting in the 90s. They caught 21 people in 2 hours, and had to stop the sting because the bike got stolen, FROM THE COPS WHILE WATCHING IT. They announced they would not do it again because it was "too much paper work."
Frankly, with bikes now hitting over 19 thousand fucking dollars , I'm tempted to do some "shopping". How much of a fight can a DDS put up? What's he gonna do? Floss me? Put that little tube in my mouth until its really, really, dry?

The bad news is when there is a 'bug' that results in deaths and amputations, the answer will still be 'no criminality suspected'.

The Daily News has better piktors of the accident scene. No idea whether the rider was wearing a healment, but given that the crappy old 10 speed has:
-no brakes
-no bar tape
-no lights or reflectors
-kinda seems like it still has stem mounted shifters, which leads me to believe that it also freewheels.
I'm going to make an educated guess that the minimalist rider was not wearing a healment.

I've often been told to get OFF the f***ing road, but my best ever experience was riding on a shared cycle/footpath beside a busy two-lane road with no shoulder even if I did want to ride on it. A guy on a Japarley motorcycle rides slowly past me on the road and screams "get ON the f***ing road". He wants me to ride ON the road? I'm sure the whole lane of traffic I held up would love that. I chased him down, which was easy as the traffic was so slow and he headed for the police station for "protection" from me. Policeman outside listened to his side of the story, then told him to be on his way, then listened to me. I saw the guy a few times on other days after that and always gave him a (genuinely) friendly wave to which he always snarled in reply.

In a TODAY interview that aired Tuesday, embattled Toronto Mayor Rob Ford admitted flaws, but blasted his critics and insisted he's fit to serve the city.
"I'm embarrassed,'' Ford said. "Not just myself, my family, my friends, my supporters, the whole city. I take full responsibility for that. We've all made mistakes. I'm not perfect. Maybe you are, maybe other people are, (but) I've made mistakes. I admitted to my mistakes."

text: Thank you. Thanks. Thank you. Thanks. Well, uh, you should remember that you always want an Irishman to give your induction speech. I knew I always liked you Bono; you were scaring me a bit there, though. I wasn't that good. But I liked the part about my good looks the best. Anyway, I guess, let me warn you, the records took two years, the shows three hours, so the speech may take a little while. I stood on this stage when I inducted Roy Orbison, and Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Bob Dylan - an artist whose music was critical part of my own life, and tonight I hope that my music served my audience half as well. If I succeeded, thanks. If I succeeded in doing that, it's been with the help of many, many kindred spirits along the way. I'd like to thank my mother, Adele, for that slushy Christmas Eve, that Christmas Eve - a night like the one outside - when we stood outside the music store, and I pointed at that sunburst guitar, and she had that 60 bucks, and I said, "I need that one." She got me what I needed, and she protected me, and provided for me a thousand other days and nights. As importantly, she gave me a sense of work as something that was joyous, and that filled you with pride and self-regard, and that committed you to your world. Thanks, Mom. This is yours tonight. Take it home as a small return on the investment you made in your son. Mama! The Italian side of the side of the family. Mama! Now, my dad, he passed away this year - but I've got to thank him, because, what would I conceivably have written about without him? I mean, imagine if everything had gone great between us, it would have been a disaster, you know? I would have written just happy songs. I tried to do that in the early '90s, and it didn't work. The public didn't like it. He never said much about my music, except that his favorite songs were the ones about him, and that was enough, you know? Anyway, I put on his work clothes, and I went to work; it was the way that I honored him. My parents' experience forged my own - they shaped my politics, and they alerted me to what is at stake when you're born in the USA. I miss you, Dad. There's a lot of other people. Marian and Tex Vinyard [?], they took me under their wing when I was 15, they opened up their home to a bunch of rock and roll misfits, and let us make a lot of noise and practice all night long. Thanks, Marian. Carl Tinker-West, another one of my early managers, whose support I couldn't have done without. He introduced me to Mike Capel, and Mike kicked the doors down when they needed kicking, and I consider him my friend; I want to say, Mike, thanks for everything. Mostly everything. And thanks for being my guest here tonight; I'm glad you're here with me. Anyway, Mike introduced me to the world of Columbia Records, which has been my home for the past 25 years. From the early days with John Hammond and Clive Davis, to the high-rolling times with Walter Yetnikov and Al Teller, to the present with my friends Tommy Natol and Donnie Einer [?], they created a conduit for a lifetime of thoughts and ideas - a place where I felt safe, and supported, and encouraged to do my best and my truest work. I've heard enough record company horror stories right from this stage, to realize that - to appreciate the fact that I don't have one. And for that I've got to thank all the men and women of Columbia Records, around the world, past and present. Thank you very much for your efforts. I've got to thank my co-producer Chuck Plock and engineer Toby Scott for a sustained contribution to my recorded work. They remained in the saddle as often years went by, wondering if we'd ever get the music out, or if they'd ever get a royalty check. They kept their cool and their creativity... of course, they're basket cases now. But we remain friends and great working partners. No mention of my records would be complete without Bob Clearmountain, the great mixer, who helped me bring my music to a larger audience. I want to thank my tour director George Travis and all the great crews he's assembled on the road over the years; thank you George. I want to thank my agent Barry Bell and Frank Barcelone for a great job. All right. Thank you. Now for the lawyers. Gotta thank them, you know? Peter Parcher and Steve Hayes - they protected me and my music for 22 years; I appreciate it. This next one's a little tough one. Alan Gruebman, and Arty Dirsty [?] - names familiar to many in this room. They're the money men. How can I put this? These are great and complicated and misunderstood Americans. They're men that are entrusted with a very, very important task. You know, the money man goes to the record company, and he's in charge of bringing back the pink Cadillac. Now, when Alan and Arty go, they bring back the pink Cadillac, the blue Cadillac, the red Cadillac, the yellow Cadillac, the pink Cadillac with the white walls - but then they take the blue Cadillac. Then they take the hubcaps off the yellow Cadillac. But that still leaves you with a few Cadillacs, and they make sure that neither you, nor themselves, of course, are gonna be broke when you're riding in the black Cadillac. They do that well. I've gotta thank Barbara Carr for her love and loyalty and dedication. Couldn't get along without you, Barb. My friend, Dave Marsh, thank you so much. And, uh, oh - the next guy - this is John Landau, or - as I sometimes call him - John "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" Landau. I've seen the future of rock and roll management, and its name is John Landau. I've got to return the favor there. That quote was managing... it was a mite burdensome for me, but as he often said, "That's your job." But John's given me something beyond friendship, beyond guidance - his intelligence, his sense of the truth, his recognition of my intelligence. We were worlds colliding. His creative ability as a producer, an editor, speech writer earlier this evening, his ability to see through to the heart of matters both professional, and personal, and the love that he's given me has altered my life forever. What I hope to give to my fans with my music: a greater sense of themselves, and greater freedom - he with his talents and his abilities has done that for me. There's no thank you tonight that's gonna do the job, and it's a debt that I can't repay, and one that I treasure owing. Thank you, Johnny, I love you. I also want to thank Barbara Landau, and Kate and Charlie, for sharing John with me over the years. I know it hasn't been easy. Now, last but not least, the men and women - the mighty men and women of the E-Street Band. Oh, Lord. Oh Lord. Who I have re-dedicated, re-educated, re-animated, resuscitated, and re-invigorated with the power, the magic, the mystery, and the ministry of rock and roll. Vini Lopez, Boom Carter, early drummers of the band, Davy Sancious, Nils Lofgren, the most over-qualified second guitarist in show business, he plays ten times better than me, and he still wanders over to hear my solos when I play. I guess he's checking to see if I'm getting any better. Danny Federici, the most instinctive and natural musician I've ever met, and the only member of the band that can reduce me to a shouting mess. I love you, Danny. Your organ and accordion playing brought the boardwalks of Central and South Jersey alive in my music, thank you. Garry Tallent, Southern man, my lovely friend, great bass player, rock and roll aficionado, whose quiet and dignity grace my band and my life; thank you Gary. Roy Bittan: Roy's playing formed the signature sound of some of my greatest records. He can play anything; he's always there for me; his emotional generosity and his deep personal support mean a great, great deal to me. Thank you, Roy. Max Weinburg - mighty Max - star of the Conan O'Brien show. Conan ain't too bad either. Max found a place where Bernard Purdy, Buddy Rich, and Keith Moon intersected, and he made it his own. I ask and he delivers for me night after night. Thank you Max. Stevie VanZandt. For those of you that have seen the Sopranos, and are worried that that's what Steve is like - that's what he's like. He's a lifetime of rock and roll friendship; we did it all, you know? Great songwriter, producer, great guitarist - we haven't played together in 15 years, and if it's up to me, that'll never happen again. I love you, Steve. Patti Scialfa [?] - she busted the boy's club, big time. It went like this: "OK, fellas - there's gonna be a woman in the band. We need someone to sing all the high parts. How complicated can it get?" Well, a nice paparazzi photo of me in my jockey shorts, on a balcony in Rome, ten of the best years of my life, Evan, Jesse, Sam - three children genealogically linked to the E-Street band tells the rest of the story. Everybody wants to know how I feel about the band. Hell, I married one of 'em. Thank you, Baby - you hit all the high notes; you're tougher than the rest. Now, last but not least, Clarence Clemons, that's right. You wanna be like him, but you can't. The night I met Clarence, he got up on stage; a sound came out of his horn that seemed to rattle the glasses behind the bar, and threatened to blow out the back wall. The door literally blew off the club in a storm that night, and I knew I'd found my sax player. But there was something else. Something happened when we stood side by side; some energy, some unspoken story. For 15 years, Clarence has been a source of myth, and light, and enormous strength for me onstage. He has filled my heart so many nights, so many nights. And I love it when he wraps me in his arms at the end of the night. That night when we first stood together, I looked over at C., and it looked like his head reached into the clouds, and I felt like a mere mortal, scurrying upon the earth. But he always lifted me up - way, way, way up. Together we told a story of the possibilities of friendship; a story older than the ones that I was writing, and a story that I could never have told without him at my side. I want to thank you, Big Man - I love you so much. So, as Stevie VanZandt says: "Rock and roll, it's a bad, band thing [?]," and that includes you, the audience. Thank you for giving me access and interest into your lives, and I hope that I've been a good companion. But right now, my wife, my great friends, my great collaborators, my great band, your presence tonight honors me, and I wouldn't be standing here tonight without you, and I can't stand up here now without you. Please join me.

Potential Side Effects from Surgery for Testicular Cancer
The goal of surgery for testicular cancer is to remove the tumor. However, this surgery can have potential side effects. Before your surgery, your surgeon will explain these possible side effects to you. After surgery, your health care team will work closely with you to manage or ease as many side effects as possible. Here are some possible side effects that men with testicular cancer have after surgery. Ask your doctor which ones are most likely to happen to you:
Pain in the area where the tumor was removed or near the incision. This can be controlled with medication.
Problems with anesthesia
Reduced fertility. If you might want to have children in the future, talk to your doctor about preserving a sample of your sperm before surgery. This is called sperm banking.
Damage to your nerves that can leave you unable to ejaculate. The medical name for this is retrograde ejaculation. This is most common in men who have had a retroperitoneal lymph node dissection. (This type of surgery does not affect a man's ability to have erections.) Newer, nerve-sparing surgical techniques can help avoid this side effect.
Being unhappy with the altered appearance of your scrotum. If this is an issue, talk to your doctor about testicular implants.
Slower than normal healing
Inability to drive, lift, cook, or perform other daily activities until you heal
Depression or anxiety
Although the side effects of surgery cannot be completely avoided, your health care team can offer many tips to make your recovery from surgery as smooth as possible.

Reviews for Quick Cilantro Chicken
"We thought this was ok. I added diced avocado, sour cream and salsa to mine to add some flavor. it was great the next day on top of a southwestern salad, but we didn't think it was good on it's own."
"Very good! I substituted lime for the lemon and added some black beans and some carrots just because I had them around... This recipe wasn't dry at all for me. Will make again."
"It was very good but a little too much lemon. I will make it again with some modifications? It is a little too dry."
"Delicious and easy"
"When I first made this recipe, I made it as is and didn't add anything else. I liked it, but I felt it needed something more to balance it out. I made it again and I added black beans, salsa, and guacamole. It's great! It's like homemade Chipotle. Thanks for sharing!!"

ZF-6597: Zend_Locale_Data - de.xml
The following returns an result different from the manual:
$date = new Zend_Date(time()); echo $date->toString('EE, dd.MM.YYYY');
I expected something like: Mo, 01.05.2009, but instead it returns: Mo., 01.05.2009 (note the dot after the name of the day)
Since the manual (http://framework.zend.com/manual/de/…) says 'EE' returns the localized day of the week (two chars) it actual returns two chars and the dot.
This should be changed and the dot should be removed, since I does not need the dot in the result and there is no way to prevent it. If I need the dot I would explicit add it to the format string.
Please change it.
Note that "localized daynames" are dependend on the language. They are localized. This means for one language they are 2 chars, for others 3 chars and for some even 4 chars.
When you need other informations then eighter change the used date constant or change the used information type.
Additionally, please note that this data is used by multiple projects and we are not allowed to change it's content. It's origin is defined from unicode which collect this informations. So when you think there are problems with the content please fill in a issue at unicode so they can fix it.

Costa Rica (LASP)
Latin American Studies Program
Program Overview
In conjunction with the Council of Christian Colleges and Universities, George Fox students can participate in the Latin American Studies Program (LASP). Based in San Jose, Costa Rica, the Latin American Studies Program allows students to experience cross-cultural living, to deepen their understanding of the Lordship of Christ in an international context, and to explore the economic, political, social and cultural realities of North America's relationship with its Latin neighbors.
The program is not recommended for George Fox majors and minors in Spanish.
Course Content
For the first six weeks, students attend intensive daily language classes at the Instituto de Lengua Espanola. In the weeks following, interdisciplinary seminar classes explore Latin America's history, politics, economics, religion, culture, and ecology. Four specialized concentrations are available to LASP students: International Business: Management and Marketing in the fall semester; Environmental Science and Sustainable Development in the spring semester; Advanced Language and Literature; and Latin American Studies (to meet the needs of Spanish majors).
Service Opportunity/Internships
LASP students not participating in a concentration spend two weeks of the semester in a service opportunity or internship in Costa Rica to get hands-on experience working in a developing country. Opportunities are available in a variety of areas, such as education, development, health, agriculture, and environmental stewardship.
The student will fill out two applications:
• George Fox off-campus application form (obtained from the Center for Study Abroad; or downloaded here).
• Latin American Studies Program application (to be completed online here). An application fee must accompany your application.
*The LASP application should only be completed after being informed from the Director of Study Abroad that you are accepted for an off-campus study semester.
Students must be full-time undergraduates with junior or senior status, holding a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher to apply. Students will be required to attend two pre-departure meetings, complete an online course evaluation, and attend a re-entry meeting upon their return. Students must see the transfer credit specialist in the Registrars office BEFORE they begin their semester off-campus.
Students are housed with Christian Costa Rican families chosen by the LASP.
The student pays George Fox's standard tuition, room and board, and student fees (an additional fee is required to attend some programs). Participants continue to receive financial aid, including scholarships, since they are officially George Fox students. Round trip airfare is additional.

text: As part of the Rock Hall's annual Black History Month celebration, we will explore the complicated and changing roles of women in hip-hop. From early pioneers (Sha-Rock and Roxanne Shanté) to the game-changing artists of hip-hop's second wave (Salt-N-Pepa and Queen Latifah) to today's leading innovators (Nicki Minaj and Missy Elliott), women have continually (and effectively) worked to have their voices heard in a genre too often dominated by men. From marginalized artists to multi-platinum performers, this Rock and Roll Night School will examine the undeniable, yet often overlooked, impact and influence of women in hip-hop – then and now.

behavioral health
At Bon Secours Virginia, we can help you deal with the stress of modern life. And, we know a lot exists. More than ever, women are trying to balance school, work and home responsibilities. Girls and women also often face unexpected events, like job loss, domestic violence, physical assault and the illness or death of a loved one. Plus, changes in physical health can profoundly affect emotional health. Depression, anxiety and eating disorders affect women more than often than men.
Many women deal with postpartum depression (PPD). This can turn the joys of being a new parent into a struggle. PPD can cause feelings, like restlessness, anxiety, fatigue, and worthlessness. Some mothers worry that they will harm themselves or their babies. Many women are embarrassed or ashamed by PPD. You shouldn't be. Doctors believe that hormonal changes may cause the condition. If you have these symptoms and they last more than a week or two, don't keep them to yourself. Talk therapy and medication can get you back on the right track.
We give girls and women a safe place and the skills needed to cope with behavioral issues. Our care team includes psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers.
They can help you with:
- Depression associated with pregnancy and childbirth
- Bipolar disorder
- Anxiety disorders
- Eating disorders
- Weight and stress management
- Bereavement
- Substance abuse
Bon Secours Virginia has a 32-bed inpatient psychiatric facility at St. Mary's Hospital and another 40-bed one at Richmond Community Hospital. Both offer acute and long-term care.
To learn more about behavioral health services at Bon Secours, call 804-359-WELL.

With Gould out, the Bucs were led by junior Natalia Giraldo (
"I was excited and knew we had been playing well in practice and qualifying," said ETSU head coach Stefanie Reynolds. "But today was just great. We were very consistent, and to have freshmen playing with such confidence and leadership is special. For our first event of the year, the girls look very solid.

How do I make my web pages?
PRO TIP: Don't "build" pages at all! Just use one of our "one-tip" applications to create a "ready to go" website, as detailed further down the page in the section Building_A_Website#Using__One-click_installs
The Process
A web page is a text file, usually written in HTML, then sent from your computer to your web address, generally via FTP (file transfer protocol). There are basically two choices when it comes to creating your web page:
- WYSIWYG environments will help you create nice-looking pages quickly, without learning HTML (the system of tags for creating web pages) or FTP (how you send your site to our servers), or CGI (programs that allow the user to interact with your site). Some popular WYSIWYG environments are: Open Source Nvu; Macromedia Dreamweaver, Microsoft Publisher, Adobe Pagemill, and Adobe Go Live!. You can even use plain old Open Office, or Microsoft Word (98 or above) --- just save your file with the extension .html, instead of .doc.
On the down side, not knowing how these things work will make it more difficult to troubleshoot your site when things go wrong (for instance if certain elements of your page are not compatible with all users' browsers).
- Learning to hand code HTML is fun and easy, and there are a lot of tools on the Net, at the library, and in the bookstore, to help you along your way. Chances are, you can pick up enough to make a basic site in less time than it would take to figure out how to do the same thing in an authoring tool. Another advantage of hand-coding is that you, the author, will be empowered to troubleshoot and customize your site at will. You will know exactly how it is put together, and how to change and update things as needed.
It's not for everyone, however --- some people don't have the time or drive to teach themselves HTML. It will take practice to get your page exactly as you want it. But by that time, chances are, you'll be having so much fun you won't want to stop!
If you want to see a somewhat ugly - but functional - page of HTML, use the 'View Source' function in your browser (usually underneath a 'View' menu) to see the HTML for this page. Don't worry, not all web pages need to be this complex. Once you've created your page(s), you need to send them via FTP (see our related articles) to our server, where people can view them. Remember that the first page people are to see when they visit your site must be called index.html --- if it's called something else, then instead of your default site, visitors will see a list of files.
Some Notes on Design
Remember that you're designing a page for people to read. Goodd desine and speling doez mattur (See what we mean?). Read up on good web style; your site's visitors will thank you for it. We recommend the book "Creating Killer Web Sites", by Dave Siegel. It will show you what works and what doesn't when targeting the web community. You can visit the companion web site at www.killersites.com.
The rule to follow is that experimentation leads to knowledge.
Outside Resources
Here are some good resources for you to use in learning the basics of web design.
- HTMLHelp.com (great reference for HTML syntax) http://www.htmlhelp.com
- Webreference (a bit more advanced, but good for finding other resources) http://www.webreference.com
- Lissa Explains it All (targeted to kids!) http://www.lissaexplains.com/

- Official W3C HTML Tutorial, Getting Started http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Guide/
- Official W3C HTML Tutorial, Advanced http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Guide/Advanced.html
- Webmonkey HTML Cheatsheet http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/reference/html_cheatsheet/

How do I set up a web site on the web?
To set up your website, you must do the following:
- Secure webspace by signing up for a web hosting plan and either registering a new domain or transferring your existing domain to DreamHost.
- Build your html web pages.
- Send your html web pages to our servers via FTP (your main page should be called index.html)
Domain Registration means that you have paid for and are registered as owning a specific domain name, such as mycooldomain.com.
Domain Hosting means that you have paid a company, such as DreamHost, to store your html files on their server.
Transferring a domain means changing the registration information (DNS servers) to indicate where you would like your website hosted. To host a domain with DreamHost your DNS servers must be set to:
- ns1.dreamhost.com 22.214.171.124
- ns2.dreamhost.com 18.104.22.168
- ns3.dreamhost.com 184.108.40.206
After signing up and being approved, you'll receive an email with your username and password and the name of the server you should connect to to upload your web site to via FTP.
Make sure your domain name is registered and working. If you told us to register it, you shouldn't have to do anything, it will begin to work within a day, or two at the most.
If you have a domain registered through someone else, you should make sure you have transferred its dns servers to us. You have to do this on your own; we cannot help with this (because you are the owner of the domain, not us!). Once your domain is registered or transferred to us, and you've FTPed your content to our servers, your site will be live on the Internet to anyone in the world who visits it!
How do I configure DreamHost's server to host my domain?
When [signing up] for DreamHost you're asked what the first domain is you'd like to host. If you've finished the signup process and received your welcome email then DreamHost is already done with their part of the process!
If you're trying to set up a second domain, you just need to add it from the Domain > Manage Domain area of the DreamHost Control Panel. You'll get an automatic email when DreamHost is finished configuring the server for the new domain!
Why do I get an empty directory listing where my website should be?
When you first get set up and your domain becomes active, your URL will most likely bring you to an empty directory listing page. This is because you haven't uploaded your site yet. To put something up there, you'll need to use an FTP program to send your page(s) to our server.
If you have uploaded your site, you need to create an index page. An index page can have whatever you want on it, but it must be called "index.html" (or "index.cgi" if it's a CGI program, or "index.htm", "index.php" and a few other default names). Calling the file "index.html" tells your visitors' browsers to open that page; otherwise, the browser will just show your file list.
How do I use FTP to upload my site?
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a very popular standard with which to upload and download files to and from computer to computer. Like most web hosts, we provide access to our servers via FTP.
Choose an FTP Client
For the Macintosh, you will probably want to look into one of the following FTP clients, which we recommend:
For Microsoft Windows-based PCs, you will find that the following programs are most popular, and are well supported with Dreamhost's servers (also note that most web-design software like and Dreamweaver have FTP built-in):
There are dozens of FTP clients available for just about every operating system out there. For Linux, your command line FTP program is probably as good as any graphical client (then again, if you run Linux, you probably knew that). You can even find FTP clients for your PalmPilot, Mac OS X Server, and all sorts of other operating systems. If you need help finding one, let us know.
Once you have downloaded an FTP program, we suggest that you read the documentation in order to become familiar with its capabilities. However, as most FTP clients function pretty much in the same fashion, you should find these instructions useful in getting started.
Once you have your FTP program open and running, you will still need to point it somewhere to upload files. You'll need to enter the 'hostname' of your site (often called a domain name or server, depending on the FTP program). For example, if your site is viewable at 'www.dreamhostrules.com', the hostname would simply be 'dreamhostrules.com'.
If your domain hasn't been set up yet (not registered or not transferred to DreamHost) you can still upload your site directly to your machine name temporarily. You should have gotten the name of your machine in a welcome email, it will be of the form machine.dreamhost.com.
Next, you'll probably be prompted for a username and password. These values should have been given to you when you first signed up. If you have any questions as to what they are, please feel free to ask.
You may also be asked for a starting directory. This tells the FTP client where to put you within the directory structure of your account. Almost all web sites need to go into a directory named after the domain they are hosted under, not in the root of the account! Although putting your files directly into the root directory will not break anything, this will certainly prevent you from seeing your site until you move them. For the starting directory setting, you should put in a value such as /dreamhostrules.com/ (assuming that was your domain name).
Using One-click installs
Another way to build a website at DreamHost, is to use a one-click install. You may want to learn more about the details before trying these, but they are an option to build something more glorious, faster and cheaper than even WYSIWYG environments (or not).
How do I get people to visit my website?
Once your site is up and running, you will still need to publicize it. Nobody will visit if they can't find you through a search engine or from another related site. Here are some ways to make this happen:
- Visit each of the major search engines that you know about, and submit your URL. Most of these sites have a link called "submit your site," (or something like that) --- just click on the link and follow the directions. For the most part, the links are not placed prominently or noticeably --- try just searching for them! Some popular search engines include:
- To make your site easier for the search engines to crawl and classify, consider adding some META tags to your index page. You can add general keywords that you think would interest people, and a short description.
META tags go between the <head> and </head> tags in your HTML code. META tags for a site about your Indonesian restaurant might look something like this:
<META NAME = "keywords" CONTENT= "restaurant, food, cuisine, Indonesian, rijstafel, vegetarian, cooking, vegetables, tofu">
<META NAME = "description" CONTENT= "Java Internationale of Amsterdam provides the best of traditional Indonesian dining in a relaxed atmosphere. Conveniently located along Singel, near Leidestraat.">
The "keywords" tag gives the search engine a way to classify your page. The "description" gives the search engine something coherent to put in the blurb that visitors will see on the search page, rather than the first few words that appear on the page, which would appear there by default.
- Enter the DreamHost Site of the Month Contest! See the articles in the Related Links column of this page for more details.
On the other hand, just because you have a site doesn't mean you have to tell everyone about it - it's always good to have a place where you can experiment with learning HTML or creating web graphics.
Good luck!

Rated 3 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Average Consumer Nice design, low quality construction With two people, assembly is not too difficult. However little things like mis-aligned holes make it more challenging. Once we put the shelves, base and top together, and locked everything into place, the whole thing still swayed from side to side - the thin back is the only thing that keeps it from swaying. The item is made of particle-board with wood veneer. On some of the edges the veneer didn't join up correctly or was cracked, so the light-colored particle board showed through. The legs were painted 4 different shades, so we had to find the closest 2 to put in the front. Overall the quality of construction is quite poor. However the design is so good that it still looks really nice once it's all put together. You're paying for the design on this one, not the quality. October 23, 2010

ZF-10626: Select in findManyToManyRowset does not contain columns of intersection-table anymore
I am using additional columns in some of my intersection tables for many to many relationships. Using findManyToManyRowset used to add these columns to the returning rowset. Having updated to the newest version, these columns dont get added anymore.
Class: Zend_Db_Table_Row_Abstract In version 1.9.8 the function findManyToManyRowset returned the columns of the intersection table like so:
$select->from(array('i' => $interName), *Zend_Db_Select::SQL_WILDCARD*, $interSchema)
->joinInner(array('m' => $matchName), $joinCond, Zend_Db_Select::SQL_WILDCARD, $matchSchema)
This has been changed to:
$select->from(array('i' => $interName), *array()*, $interSchema)
->joinInner(array('m' => $matchName), $joinCond, Zend_Db_Select::SQL_WILDCARD, $matchSchema)
Is this change intended - and if so, how do I access the columns in the intersection table using the functionality of this function?
This is by design. The junction data should have never been part of the resulting row object to begin off with. Please see my write-up here:
Thanks, Ralph
