THE "ETERNAL CITY" IS NOT UNCHANGING. THE STRIKING THING ABOUT ROME IS THE FRESHNESS OF ITS IMMORTALITY. And the secret of its perpetual youth is the practical attitude of its citizens, which makes them both respectful and irreverent towards their heritage. They have taken the art of recycling to levels of sophistication unparalleled among the cities of the world. Instead of carefully restoring their monuments like you embalm a corpse, they have chosen to mine the ruins of the past, even if that means holding up a church with pagan temple columns or constructing a city block where an ancient theatre once stood.
MORE THAN ANYWHERE ELSE, MODERNITY IN THIS CITY SEEMS TO MEAN RENEWING HISTORY OR REVISITING AGES PAST. Roman fashion, design, glamour, trattoria delicacies or a spoon distractedly swirling a frothy cappuccino on the terrace of an iconic café are just a few examples of ancestral legacies which seem to have been born yesterday. Only poor cities learn to live sparingly with their possessions. Spoiled cities like Rome need to stack things up where there is still a bit of space. Paris has devoted its largest square – measuring more than 8 hectares – to the only obelisk in the city. Rome has so many that you don't even notice them anymore.
AMEDEO REALE Member since 2006
This winemaker from the art city of Lecce in Apulia, located at the heel tip of the Italian "boot", left his brother to tread grapes while he took charge of bringing his specialist wine made from local grape varieties to Rome. After all, there is an international airport in the capital, which means he can travel to any of the fifteen or so countries he does business with. And this city has always been good at selling wine. The Greeks were the first to introduce the drink to Italy, but the Romans exported it throughout their Empire (and it is to them that Europeans are indebted for their love of it). He owns a red PIXIE, having failed to convince his wife to choose a product which matches the black capsules of his favourite Grand Cru, RISTRETTO, which he drinks very short – "like you're supposed to."
AMEDEO APPRECIATES THE SEASIDE CHARMS OF THE LATIUM COASTLINE AND THE FACT THAT THERE ARE SKI RESORTS LESS THAN TWO HOURS FROM THE CITY CENTRE. But Rome itself has a wide range of natural resources which tourists often miss. Amedeo goes jogging along the TIBER RIVERBANK which is closed off to cars, so you can peacefully enjoy the low-angle view of the city. He also goes walking with his family in the massive VILLA ADA, one of the main green areas in the Eternal City. Nothing like the well-maintained parks in Paris or London, it is a wild place, a real jungle kept that way by associations who campaign against the city developing it. Some of the trees have reached near-prehistoric proportions and it is not unusual for Amedeo to get lost there. Another large green area is the Villa Borghese, filled with sumptuous gardens a stone's throw from the Piazza del Popolo with authentic Baroque interpretations of ancient imperial villas. If you plan to go there to enjoy, for example, the Borghese Gallery, make the most of the visit by having brunch at the CASA DEL CINEMA café. You have to have the right shoes to survive the hellish Roman cobblestones. Amedeo swears by the quality work of CALZOLERIA PETROCCHI, a traditional bootmaker who produces made-to-measure shoes of any type from just a photograph. Finally, for dinner in town, he recommends PASTIFICIO SAN LORENZO, a former pasta factory transformed into a fashionable restaurant which adds to the life and soul of this up-and-coming part of the city.
CRISTIANA TORRE Member since 2006
Cristiana manages the fine leather goods and shoes division at Fendi. This famous Roman luxury brand, together with the jeweller Bvlgari, proves that the Eternal City knows how to stand out from its neighbours in the very competitive area of elegance. While Milan, Florence and Naples tussle for domination of haute couture, Latin fashion has chosen to thrive in jewellery and leather. After all, the city possesses countless seasoned craftsmen, legacies of an imaginary empire which required the arts to provide it with the most accurate appearance of power. Cristiana owns two LATTISSIMA+, one in the city, one in the country, because she can no longer get by without her semi-instant cappuccino. One more reason to make it with a DECAFFEINATO INTENSO.
CRISTIANA'S RECOMMENDATIONS FOCUS, OF COURSE, AROUND FASHION ACCESSORIES. The young designer, DELFINA DELETTREZ, fourth generation of the Fendi dynasty, is starting a promising career in the world of jewellery with her animal and body part-shaped jewellery, like these eyes and mouths which recall pagan charms or ex-votos. Her aunt, Ilaria Venturini Fendi, launched the brand RE(F)USE, whose showroom was designed by the decorator, Paolo Colucci. This product line promotes the ideas of recycling and environmental-friendliness, bringing them aesthetic form through its bag, jewellery and furniture collections.
No less quirky is LA BOTTEGA DEL MARMORARO workshop, which Cristiana recommends to curiosity-shop fans. It is a wonderful little place which contrasts sharply with the prestigious antique shops around it. Enrico Fiorentini is a Roman born and bred who engraves what you ask for on ancient marble plaques. Once your inscription is written in Latin calligraphy, you will own a personalised piece of Rome. The aperitif is a new phenomenon taking Italy by storm. Cristiana particularly enjoys the CAFFÈ DELLE ARTI, the monumental bar at the National Gallery of Modern Art. It is a magical place when the light of sunset bathes the large adjoining terrace of the Villa Borghese. Finally, for a spot of frozen luxury, LA CASA DEL CREMOLATO specialises in a granita with a surprisingly rich texture.
ALESSANDRO DONADIO Member since 2003
This interior designer has a minimalist style which is sparing in colours. Yet, the city he lives in is a long way from this simple attitude. Alessandro isolates the prominent details of this overloaded setting to showcase them, like some Roman squares which create space around a victory column or an obelisk so that they can be admired.
This was the method used by the Renaissance geometer and painter, Piero Della Francesca, who created vast perfect views to depict a complicated building or a monstrous face. When it comes to coffee, Alessandro's love of simplicity opted for a black CITIZ and charcoal CONCEPT. He likes the intensified aromas of a short ROMA Grand Cru, and is also a fan of the flavoured editions.
WHAT IS STRIKING ABOUT ROME, A BIT LIKE NEW YORK, IS THE DIZZYING SENSATION OF THE HUGE AND VARIED CROWDS. The VIALE TRINITÀ DEI MONTI, at the top of the Spanish Steps, offers a well-known view. It tends to be visited in the evening; yet it's the blue light of dawn that lends a crystalline atmosphere to the view and seems to breathe new life into this old European "Babylon". One of the most interesting monuments is the CASTEL SANT'ANGELO which looks like a gigantic UFO on the right bank of the Tiber. This former imperial mausoleum, transformed into an unassailable fortress once stripped of its marble coating, was intended to entertain the popes closeted away from the violent streets.
They asked the Renaissance painters to create a virtual paradise to overcome their solitude. The bar at the top offers a beautiful watchtower over the Vatican, whose palaces are linked to this pontifical bunker via a fortified passage. Lower down, the excellent DA SABATINO trattoria has a horizontal terrace on Piazza Sant'Ignazio, a delightful clearing in a jungle of buildings, which prove that Roman engineering is more theatrical than showy. At night, the Monti district is just as surreal, like something out of the Arabian Nights. The subtleties of darkness which play on the dilapidated stones create the illusion of a city covered in skin. Here, the AI TRE SCALINI wine bar serves exquisite wines in an informal setting. Finish off with the MAXXI, a contemporary art museum in a setting that is impressive in its own right.
BENEDETTA SCASSELLATI Member since 1999
Whenever she stops at the Boutique to stock up on DECAFFEINATO INTENSO, the sales assistant looks at Benedetta like someone who can't quite place a face he's seen before. "You must be famous," he says when he eventually gives up. "Your national Membership number is 8." However, this Public Relations Manager is only listed among the first ten members of the Italian Club because a friend who worked for Nespresso gave her a machine as a gift when the first capsules were sold in Italy.
Benedetta was quickly convinced by the performance of this household appliance which served her coffee just how she likes it, long with a beautiful crema. Since then, she has followed the brands latest technological developments, and recently purchased a U.
ORIGINALLY FROM BOLOGNA, BENEDETTA HAS LIVED IN ROME FOR FIFTEEN YEARS. SHE LOVES THIS LIVELY METROPOLIS WHICH MANAGES TO RENEW ITSELF WITHOUT REJECTING ITS BREATHTAKING PAST. More than anything else, it is a grandiose city which still manages to put everyone at ease. Perhaps it has seen the rise and fall of so many emperors that it now treats them as ordinary people. At the Campo Marzio, opposite the tired columns of the Temple of Hadrian, the Latin marble succumbs to the carefree spirit of Rome. Here, the SALOTTO 42 bar serves a lovely aperitivo, a practice that originally comes from Turin and resembles the Andalusian tapas tradition.
The evening starts with a colourful cocktail like the Spritz (sparkling wine and bitters), the Americano (red vermouth and club soda) or the Bellini (champagne and peach purée), biting into little appetisers served until you don't want any more, which all together can make an actual meal. More than anything, Benedetta likes having somewhere to go after work to make the most of the last rays of sunshine.
Towards the Coliseum, CAFFÈ PROPAGANDA offers the same service in an operetta on the edge of the pine forests on the Caelian Hill, one of the Seven Hills of Rome. In the north of the city, RISTORANTE DOLCE cooks exquisite brunches, while in Monti the modern trattoria URBANA 47 take orders after midnight, perfect post-theatre. But her absolute favourite restaurant is BABETTE, whose grandness is inspired by the Danish film Babette's Feast, famous for reviving pastry-wrapped quail.
ADRIANO CAPUTO Member since 2007
Most visitors who see Rome lit up at night think it wonderfully cinematic. But as someone actually involved in capturing national monuments on film, this lighting designer does not agree. Sodium streetlamps do not show the limestone facades at their best and Adriano accuses them of giving the city an unpleasant yellow glow. The only material they flatter is brickwork, which forms the skeleton of historical buildings.
What is more, the city's inhabitants have often enshrined these architectural bones within Baroque or Renaissance reliquaries, much like Catholics do with their saintly relics. Adriano has a PIXIE machine at work so that he does not have to constantly go out for coffee. He likes his RISTRETTO very short, but still doesn't know whether he should drink with his nose inside or outside the cup.
FOR AS LONG AS ROME HAS HAD ITS HEAD IN THE HEAVENS, ITS FEET HAVE TRAILED IN THE MUD. 150 YEARS AGO, IT WAS A THEOCRACY WHERE BANDITS SOUGHT SANCTUARY INSIDE CHURCHES. It needed to do a lot of sobering up before it could become Italy's capital city, and is so attached to power that it is blind to that which it already holds. Whatever they do, the residents of Rome will always look back wistfully to their city's glorious past. Some console themselves by climbing to the rooftops to feel the height of its past greatness. Rome can only be fully appreciated when seen from a great height, such as from the PALATINE HILL GARDENS, possibly the first hill of the city's famous seven, where a romantic belvedere facing the forum shows off this sacred, accursed city, infernal in its grace.
Of equal stature is the extraordinary terrace of the HOTEL MAJESTIC, which proves more than any other that these esplanades allow the city to breathe. At the other end of the spectrum, BABINGTON'S English Tea Room seems to have its back turned to the Piazza di Spagna and offers a different view of the city, complete with all the puritanical condescension you would expect from an institution serving high tea. Adriano likes to withdraw to one of Rome's many cloisters: lonely, silent spaces standing outside of time. He often goes to the CHIOSTRO DEL BRAMANTE, a beautiful example of slender, graceful Renaissance architecture, housing an exhibition space and café. And his final piece of advice: don't leave Rome without visiting the PALAZZO BARBERINI.
DELFINA GIANNATTASIO Member since 2008
Delfina does not currently live in Rome because she is completing her architectural studies in Paris. Every time she returns home she uses it as an excuse to visit all the places that she misses when she is away. This also spurs her on to discover new parts of town that she would not normally visit. When she returns from Paris, a city where every building is made of the same pale, perfectly cut stone, Delfina realises that Rome is a colourful city.
She advises not limiting yourself to the big 'must-see' sites: Rome is also to be found in meeting friends in the open spaces of the historic centre, or in the graffiti of Trastevere. She enjoys short, Italian-style Espressos from her PIXIE machine, made with RISTRETTO or ROMA Grands Crus, and is devastated she can no longer find KAZAAR Limited Edition.
THE CITY CENTRE'S DESTINATION OF CHOICE FOR SHOPPING SUBVERSIVES IS THE VIA DEL GOVERNO VECCHIO, A STREET LINED WITH INDEPENDENT DESIGNERS AND INTERNATIONAL BRANDS. The nearby Via del Gesù is home to VERTIGO VINTAGE BOUTIQUE, a shop which is introducing vintage style to a city which still associates second-hand with second-rate. You can always find items from designers such as Balenciaga, Valentino, Fabiani, Yves Saint Laurent and Fendi, but the management has a particular penchant for old pieces of clothing made by anonymous tailors and exuding Roman elegance. Nearby, in the Jewish Ghetto area, the ERMANNO TEDESCHI GALLERY exhibits the work of contemporary artists, such as Nicola Bolatti and his unusual spaghetti networks. For an aperitivo, Delfina adores the hanging gardens overlooking the terrace of the bar at HOTEL DE RUSSIE. She much prefers it to the Hotel d'Inghilterra, which feels too much like a gentleman's club.
From the slopes of the Monti Rione, whose sulphurous colours lend it an unmistakeable Roman quality, you can spot a number of famous sites: a walk along the VIA DEI SERPENTI affords a glimpse of the Coliseum as it emerges from the earth. On the left bank of the Tiber, the Trastevere atmosphere, tinged with the cruelty of an epic historical film and the wild energy of a Spaghetti Western makes this a wonderful résumé of Rome. Travestere is a labyrinth of cobbled streets, lined with little restaurants and old bars. The most authentic of these is the BAR SAN CALISTO. Further to the north on the same side of the river, the tiny CACIO E PEPE practically only sells three regional pasta dishes: "alla carbonara", "alla gricia" (a carbonara without eggs) and "alla cacio e pepe", with cheese and pepper.
Cristina Nicosia: I was born in Sicily, pretty much on the slopes of Mount Etna. A few years ago, I was doing promotional tastings in a shopping centre in Catania. One day, I was asked to do a Nespresso Grands Crus tasting session – and I think I came away even more convinced than my customers. In any case, the brand noticed my enthusiasm and gave me my first job with them, training salespeople on the island.
C. N.: In 2007, I was offered a job in the first Boutique opened in the Eternal City. It was an easy decision. Two years later, I became Boutique Manager.
C. N.: Piazza San Lorenzo, at the heart of the city. The Via del Corso is the backbone of this area, much like the Champs-Elysées in Paris, and it is near the Pantheon, the Chamber of Deputies, and the famous Piazza di Spagna, one of the busiest squares in the city, where a new Boutique was recently opened. Our customers include politicians and top civil servants as well as tourists.
C. N.: Most come to try out new Grands Crus, but few come to relax. Probably because they tend to drink very strong ristretto coffees. Unlike a cappuccino, which you drink slowly, savouring the taste, this short coffee is for drinking standing at a bar, and is all about speed. Our customers have the highest standards, because a short extraction time leaves no room for error: it's like the coffee is stripped down and any mistakes are shown up under a magnifying glass. They are looking for the best in coffee.
C. N.: Absolutely. Most Italian bars serve excellent coffees and the baristas are wizards with their espresso machines, a delicate technology that was perfected in this country. We have to really emphasise our selling points to stand out in this competitive environment. In Italy, coffee is familiar, part of the furniture. It no longer has the appeal of an exotic import. Every bar and café has its own house style which wins the loyalty of its customers. We offer them the opportunity to venture beyond this restrictive world. One of our main strengths is our wide range of products, and the ability to create a perfect coffee from the comfort of your own home.
A NEW LOCATION ON THE PIAZZA DI SPAGNA A brand new boutique has just opened on one of Rome's busiest squares. > Piazza di Spagna 34-35, 00187 Roma
This brasserie is something of an institution on the Piazza del Popolo, serving classic Italian dishes such as Mostarda di Cremona, large candied fruits served in mustard syrup.
Excellent fish dishes not far from the Villa Ada.
This rustic inn near the fortified Grottaferrata monastery to the south of Rome serves simple food at its best.
A New York atmosphere in the bustling Testaccio area.

Event Detail
event description
Joins us for Ali Shaheed Muhammad's monthly Brooklyn party, That's my Ish, powered by Giant Step. The Legendary A Tribe Called Quest DJ will rock the Paper Box in Brooklyn, spinning the finest in hip hop, classics, soul, and reggae.
DJ/Producer Ali Shaheed Muhammad is known around the world as one-third of the legendary hip hop group A Tribe Called Quest , but he began his musical career in his hometown of Brooklyn, New York. Ali then spent years DJ-ing parties in his Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood and recorded a slew of demos before co-founding Tribe in 1985 with Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, and Jarobi. Tribe, however, is just one representation of Ali's talent. He's worked with a wide range of artists, including Faith Evans, Mos Def, and D'Angelo, the last of whom he collaborated on the Grammy-nominated single, Brown Sugar, in 1995. In 1999 he co-founded the star trio Lucy Pearl, aligning with Dawn Robinson, formerly of En Vogue, and Raphael Saadiq, of Tony! Toni! Toné! Lucy Pearl fused funk, rock, R&B and hip-hop to create an organic, sexy sound that was unprecedented at the time and still unmatched today. The group's self-titled debut album produced the hits Don't Mess With My Man, and Dance Tonight, the latter nominated for a Grammy in the best vocal performance by a duo or group category.
Ali has also built up a solo career, beginning with his 2004 debut LP Shaheedulah and Stereotypes, featuring the dance song All Night. Ali keeps busy by performing as a DJ around the globe, reaching music fans of all types, each gig adding to the journey he started as an 8-year-old in Brooklyn.

Hi, For a school project I'm trying to connect multiple NXT's to my laptop, and give them all a name to address them with eg. Move or Gun. I've been looking through the forums, and í ahve found some things, but not the multiple NXT's, especcially not with 0.7.
How should i approach this? i just need that to get started, we're trying to make a turret gun with motion dtection via webcam, and an authorisation module to turn it off remotely. i'll post some pieces of code when we have it working
Thanks, T

ZF-2286: Add a _setupRowClass() method to Zend_Db_Table_Abstract
This will allow for easily setting row classes based on a common naming convention, eg:
abstract class My_Db_Table_Abstract extends Zend_Db_Table_Abstract
protected function _setup()
protected function _setupRowClass()
if (class_exists($class = get_class($this) . '_Row')) {
$this->_rowClass = $class;
But doesn't this depend on the rowClass being available at the time of instantiation? Or are you envisaging a 'require_once' within your table definition to have this class definition pre-loaded?
I'd recommend something more reliable... like, say, a Zend_Db_Table_Plugin to set this during an init() event ;)
Well yes, it would rely on the rowClass being available during instantiation, but then in most cases the auto loader would include it when the class_exists is run. But then, this might not necessarily have to rely on the class being loaded. I didn't see the implementation of _setupRowClass above as the default, it's simply a method you can override if you wish to set the row class in a consistent manner across all tables, rather than setting the _rowClass property manually in every table class. In exactly the same way we already have _setupTableName.
This is of course something that could be done with a table plugin (once that's ready :) ), as the whole purpose of the plugin proposal is to remove the need to extend Zend_Db_Table_Abstract with another abstract class implementing custom logic, and you could say exactly the same about _setupTableName.
Please categorize/fix as needed.
This issue has gone unaddressed for too long. I'm reassigning this to Ralph for re-evaluation and categorization.
Not sure if this is the solution we want, but the feature is linked (in a round about way) to another feature request
I think between the concrete instantiation coming in 1.9 and the Zend_Application autoloader from 1.8, I think we having this feature in place.

During the next several weeks, weather permitting, the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control's Division of Fish and Wildlife will be treating six downstate ponds for aquatic nuisance weeds that, left unchecked, can choke the waters, crowd out beneficial plant species, and prevent fishing and boating access.
The ponds to be treated are Abbotts and Tub Mill ponds near Milford; Millsboro Pond; Horseys and Tussock ponds near Laurel; and Concord Pond near Seaford.
Signs will be posted in the boat ramp area of each pond on the day of treatment.
Officials say the treatment does not pose any threat to wildlife, therefore there will be no restrictions on fishing or consumption of fish. The only special precaution for residents is a 30-day restriction from the day of treatment on the use of water from the ponds. Officials say the pond water should not be used by residents to irrigate their gardens, yards, or agricultural lands during that 30-day period to avoid possible damage to their plantings.
For more information on the treatment of the ponds, call the Fisheries Section of the Division of Fish and Wildlife at (302) 739-9914.

A Delicate Truth opens in 2008. A counter-terrorist operation, codenamed Wildlife, is being mounted on the British crown colony of Gibraltar. Its purpose: to capture and abduct a high-value jihadist arms buyer. Its authors: an ambitious Foreign Office Minister, a private defense contractor who is also his bosom friend, and a shady American CIA operative of the evangelical far right. So delicate is the operation that even the Minister's personal private secretary, Toby Bell, is not cleared for it.
Cornwall, UK, 2011: A disgraced Special Forces Soldier delivers a message from the dead. Was Operation Wildlife the success it was cracked up to be - or a human tragedy that was ruthlessly covered up? Summoned by Sir Christopher ("Kit") Probyn, retired British diplomat, to his decaying Cornish manor house, and closely observed by Kit's beautiful daughter, Emily, Toby must choose between his conscience and duty to his Service. If the only thing necessary to the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing, how can he keep silent?
©2013 John le Carré (P)2013 Penguin Audio
But I write for myself, for my own pleasure. And I want to be left alone to do it. - J.D. Salinger ^(;,;)^
"A latter-day Jeremiah of espionage & statecraft."
If for whatever reason, during the last twenty years, you've missed John le Carré's anger, and if his last 10 books were too subtle for you, and if you didn't catch le Carré's moral outrage in 'the Constant Gardner' and 'a Most Wanted Man', then you might need to skip 'A Delicate Truth'. In his newest novel, John le Carré tackles the amoral world of private contract espionage, rendition, and ineptness. Le Carré attacks Western ethics, Western hypocrisy, the West's venal "war gone corporate."
John le Carré war is a battle of young idealism vs amoral and often incompetent mercenaries. It is a war of principled, but flawed individuals vs what Olen Steinhauer summarized as the "shortsightedness, hypocrisy, lies and unfettered greed that plagues the "post-imperial, post-cold-war world".
This isn't the most artful of le Carré's novels, but it is probably one of his sharpest. He dares the reader to follow him in his role as a latter-day Jeremiah of espionage and statecraft. He condemns the hypocrisy and the false gods of the Post-Iraq War/WOT West in his aim to "root out, pull down, destroy and throw down" the inhuman idols of the West. His NeoCon critics might aim for le Carré's eyes, but they can't destroy his vision or overlook his balls
Narrative makes the world go round.
"I haven't enjoyed a tale this much in many listens"
Although this is didactic Le Carre -- a cautionary tale of war and intelligence gone corporate -- it's also a very exciting listen. Le Carre's plot, prose, character, and dialogue are superior to any other espionage novelist I've encountered, and he's at his best when creating ethical dilemmas (though any including defense contractors and lobbyist-types are less morally ambiguous than in some of his classic novels!)
I loved loved loved being read to by Le Carre! The narration is actually excellent once your ear tunes into him, except for one questionable production choice, an incident of which pops up in the audio sample provided: A "handler" when on a telephone echoes like bad long distance circa cold war landlines. This is not characteristic of the listen as a whole, however.
As a novel this may not stand among Le Carre's finest, but as a contemporary espionage yarn it can't be beat. There are some now standard le Carre characters and political stances, but what delightful dialogue, character observation and sharp turns-of-phrases. Graham Greene would have loved this entertainment.
This novel reminds me of why I love reading. Having the author tell me the story and "turn his own phrase" and "bite" his own dialogue is icing.
I like books that have interesting characters and easy to follow plots. For example, Cormoran Strike, is a great character for me.
"The Constant Gardener redux?"
I really enjoy John LeCarre books. They are all so erudite. However, I have two complaints with this reading. First, the language of the British elite becomes very annoying over time and very difficult to understand for a non-Britisher. Do they really speak this way? It was almost as if LeCarre was reading at 1 1/2 speed. I even tried to listen to the book at .75 speed but it sounded ridiculous. My second complaint is that this plot seemed exactly like The Constant Gardener. It's nice to think that there are people like the protagonist who is willing to sacrifice his life for "the truth" but I find it hard to believe that a person with his experience in Government service would have stayed in this service. The fact that several innocents who are collateral damage in a botched plot would drive all of these hard bitten men to sacrifice their lives is too much to swallow. I think the statement by the "bad guy" at the end who said, "if you want to see collateral damage, watch the films of drone strikes," was really the most rational argument against the protagonist's idealistic pleadings. The plot veered to much towards a "Bourne Identity" one in that every move the protagonist made was instantly known and acted upon by the Government and its henchment and undercut LeCarre's belief that the Government was stupid and plodding. The fact implied in the book that the Government was bought and paid for by private industry and that its agents had the ability to instantaneously react to a phone call is not believable. The ultimate feeling one comes away with is that the situation is hopeless and all good mens' actions are a waste of time and they will die in the attempt to fulfill their ideals. Wasn't that the take away from The Constant Gardener?
History, historical fiction and mysteries are my faves, but a fan of all genres.
"Like Le Carre? You'll love this one...."
An espionage novel that works well outside the Cold War, cerebral but not pretentious.
"He can't write his novels fast enough for me....."
First of all, he's a marvelous reader. Usually I hate it when an author wants to read his own book, but he was great. He had accents for everyone. He just couldn't do it for women though. And the story is intricate enough to deserve a second listen. But I want more too. Write faster please.
This is vintage Le Carre at its best. I read other reviews before I chose it, and I have to say that I don't understand why people found the ending disappointing. I thought it all came together perfectly
I'm amazed that this author continues to produce work to this standard. Long may it continue.
"LeCarre back to his brilliant best"
I may have missed a nugget
The characters jumped to life, LeCarre played them just as he wrote them. Nobody else could have done them justice.
Full of intrigue, inuendo and invective. LeCarre crafting a barely plausible plot with a cast of familiar, worn out Whitehall types and fresh faced field agents in the best tradition of Pym. No distracting, disingenuous foreign types here, no deserts, Central American dictatorships or Multinational baddies. Just the pallid, sneaky, which side are you on Brits plying their tradecraft through England (and Wales) green and pleasant land.
"Wrestling With Right & Wrong in a Postmodern World"
In order to accurately reflect the current state of global affairs, this is the novel Le Carre had to write. We live in a postmodern world where the word 'truth' itself must be deconstructed into 'my truth' or 'according to the Judeo-Christian tradition' in order to be clear as to exactly what's being discussed. Postmodernism is here to stay and with it, the moral confusion that has brought western foreign policy (almost) grinding to a halt. Le Carre doesn't flinch from this reality and he's crafted an enthralling tale that 'shows rather than tells' what happens when moral ambiguity creeps in to mess with everything we thought was right or wrong. It's not a comfortable tale and that's the point. One can't help but wonder if Le Carre misses Smiley's Circus and the simplicity of the Cold War as much as we do.There are no simple answers anymore. And yet, Smiley's legacy is seen in the courage and conscience shown by the novel's protagonists as they fight to expose and redeem evil within the system. The fact that they are fighting at all gives hope that corruption, once exposed, will ignite public passion for transparency and restraint. After finishing "A Delicate Truth" I'm not sure if Le Carre believes redemption is possible. But one thing is obvious, he does exhort those confronted with what their conscience knows is evil, to strengthen their resolve and go down swinging.
"Well done, superb story of secret wars"
Well read and glorious use of language. The protagonist has a very difficult time trying to understand the nature of the thing(s) that he has experienced. This would be the case for any of us who cannot imagine the new dark war reality.The actual reading of the book is superb. Mr. LeCarre' has taken us to other adventures in the muddled world of the war on terror and has shown us that the people charged with its execution have become what they beheld. Sobering, to say the least.
Dirty Wars: The World is a Battlefield by Jeremy Schahill
His love of words and his extraordinary use of the language
Being a veteran of the intelligence/security business, I love LeCarre's ability to show the importance of the human element in the whole seedy business. Human intelligence is ultimately ruled by the vagaries of the human heart.
Life long compulsive reader & lover of recorded books
"The narration by Le Carre is a real treat"
Le Carre's spy thrillers are never simple so I would never try to summarize this book in three words; the novel is moral tale as well as the story of political maneuvering gone awfully wrong. It is entertaining enough but far from Le Carre's best. What makes it such a treat is the unabashedly "hammy" reading by none other than the author himself.
In my experience, Le Carre's books are better read than listened too. The twists, turns and nuances of his complicated characters and plots are probably a little easier to follow when one can take them in at one's own pace. I have listened to a couple of his novels that I had previously read and always enjoyed reading rather than listening until this one.
You can tell Le Carre really enjoyed the reading. He definetly went at it with great gusto and "performed" each character, making them come alive. Le Carre is usually able to weave complicated plots and very full characters...this was definetly a character driven book and the author's reading contributed to it.
The plot was contrived but I thorougly enjoyed the experience of listening to Le Carre bringing his characters to live.
I would love to listen to some of the author's better novels (such as The Patient Gardener, Little Drummer Girl or Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy) narrated by him. He has been one of my favorite authors for many years and he could conceivably become one of my favorite narrators.

ZF-2564: Add createElement() method to Zend_Form
Currently, addElement() returns the Zend_Form object, which makes creating and returning a new element in a single step non-intuitive:
$element = $form->addElement('text', 'foo')->foo;
Please add a createElement() method that mimics addElement() but instead returns the element itself.

It's race day: Rubber meets road as Rolex stars take center stage
Published: Saturday, January 26, 2013 at 5:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, January 27, 2013 at 11:04 a.m.
Assuming the forecast doesn't change drastically, no one will dare complain about the weather during the duration of the Rolex 24 At Daytona, which begins its grinding test of man and machine at 3:30 p.m. Saturday.
Photo Galleries
Complain, no. But worry? Of course, racers always have something to worry about – even in sunny skies and springlike temps.
"We get 32 sets of tires for the week," said Troy Flis, owner of the local Spirit of Daytona entry. "We've used two in practice."
Yes, that's actually an issue.
Great weather generally means fewer caution laps, which means tires will wear quicker at the higher speeds. Teams pit about every 45 minutes, which adds up to 30 stops. And since they're likely to change tires on each stop . . . well . . . "those 30 sets of tires are right at our limit," said Flis, whose Central Florida roots have him naturally distrusting of weathermen.
"I've been in Florida since I was 4, so I don't really believe those guys until I see it with my own two eyes," he said.
Meanwhile, though, while the drivers and equipment for the weekend's main event are still garaged, we've already seen champagne dampening the checkered ground of Daytona's Victory Lane. The Rolex's annual Friday warmup act – featuring Grand-Am's Continental Tire Series teams – got a repeat winner in the duo of Billy Johnson and Jack Roush Jr. Vesko Kozarov and Lara Tallman won the race's Street Tuner class.
Now the main event.
Given the length of the Rolex 24, provisions must be made to fill gaps in the attention span of even the most ardent sports-car fan. That's why the Rolex has become much more than a race over the years. As it does every year, Daytona International Speedway will also become a social hub, carnival, campground and all-night party zone.
The race starts at 3:30, but the "scene" takes shape hours earlier, and when last-call arrives Sunday afternoon, some race teams will be happy and some will be disappointed. Everyone, no doubt, will be tired.

A cold knife cone biopsy (conization) is surgery to remove a sample of abnormal tissue from the cervix. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus (womb) that opens at the top of the vagina. Abnormal changes in the cells on the surface of the cervix is called cervical dysplasia.
Cone biopsy; Biopsy - cone; Cervical conization; CKC
This procedure is done in the hospital. You will be placed under general anesthesia (asleep and pain-free), or you will be given medicines to help you relax and feel sleepy.
You will lie on a table and place your feet in stirrups to position your pelvis for exam. The doctor will place an instrument (speculum) into your vagina to better see the cervix.
A small cone-shaped sample of tissue is removed from the cervix. It is examined under a microscope for signs of cancer. This biopsy may also be a treatment if the doctor removes all of the diseased tissue.
Most of the time, you will be able to go home from the hospital the same day as the procedure.
You may be asked to not eat or drink for 6 - 8 hours before the test.
After the procedure, you may have some cramping or discomfort for about a week. For about 4 - 6 weeks avoid:
For 2 - 3 weeks after the procedure, you may have discharge that is:
Cold knife cone biopsy is done to detect cervical cancer or early changes that lead to cancer. A cold knife biopsy is done if a test called colposcopy cannot find the cause of an abnormal Pap smear.
Cold knife cone biopsy may also be used to treat:
A normal result means there are no precancerous or cancerous cells in the cervix.
Most often, abnormal results mean that there are precancerous or cancerous cells in the cervix. These changes are called cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). The changes are divided into three groups:
Abnormal results may also be due to cervical cancer.
Risks of cold knife cone biopsy include:
Cold knife cone biopsy may also make it hard for your health care provider to interpret abnormal Pap smear results in the future.

Gardening Articles: Edibles :: Herbs
Sweet Stevia
by Kathy Bond Borie
Stevia is a semitropical perennial shrub of the daisy family, native to the mountains of Brazil and Paraguay. The people there have used it for many centuries as a sweetener. Stevia first came to the attention of Europeans in the 1800s, yet it remained relatively obscure until it was planted and used in England during the sugar rationing of World War II. Japan took up research into stevia's potential after the war and remains a major grower of and market for the sweetener. There, it is approved for use in many food products, including cereals, teas, and soft drinks. Stevia is also grown in South America, Canada, Europe, Australia, China, and the United States.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration banned the sale of stevia products in 1991, but three years later approved their sale as "dietary supplements." In FDA jargon, dietary supplements can carry claims of providing health benefits, but they cannot be marketed as conventional foods or food additives. Thus, stevia cannot be sold for use as a tabletop sweetener, which is considered a conventional food, or as a sweetener in teas or other products. Nonetheless, people can buy stevia powder and use it in place of sugar at home.
The substances responsible for the plant's sweetness are chemicals called glycosides, primarily one dubbed stevioside, which are concentrated in the leaves. These and other related chemicals are at their peak just before flowering, which is triggered by the shorter days of late summer and early fall.

How Do You Solve A Problem Like Tsuyoshi?
A vexing question, indeed.
On one hand, you just want to throw your hands up in the air. He looks completely lost in the field, doesn't seem to communicate well with his teammates, and is also befuddled with a bat in his hand. There has also been little to in improvement from Day One to today. In the day-to-day sense, he sure seems to be hurting our chances to win.
In the long run, though, how quickly do we throw away our investment in the Japanese shortstop? Could he possibly be as bad as he is playing right now?
I think a lot will ride on the 2012 SS options. If Trevor Plouffe can improve his defense, I think he will have as good a shot as any to compete with Nishi.
Amazing to think, through all we've seen this year, that Tsuyoshi was a batting champion just a scant year ago in Japan.

Names, information released in deadly Pender wreck
Published: Monday, July 15, 2013 at 9:23 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 15, 2013 at 3:25 p.m.
Three people were killed in a head-on collision Sunday evening in the Penderlea section of Pender County.
Jessica Lynn Carr, 26, of Willard was westbound in a 2000 Mustang about 7 p.m. when she crossed the center line on N.C. 11 and struck head on an eastbound Chevy Cobalt driven by Tammy Rae Giddens, 37, also of Willard, said N.C. State Highway Patrol Trooper Steven B. Wilson.
The impact killed Carr and Giddens, and fatally injured Giddens' 6-year-old daughter Lucy, who was in a child safety seat sitting behind the driver's seat. Giddens' 3-year-old son, also in a child safety seat, was critically injured and taken to New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington with a head injury. Wilson said the last he heard, the boy was being prepared for a flight to N.C. Children's Hospital in Chapel Hill.
Wilson said Carr was driving at a high rate of speed when she "was trying to come out of a curve and went left of center."
He said Carr was headed toward her home at the time of the crash and Giddens' family said she was going into Wallace.
Wilson said whether alcohol played a factor won't be known until the toxicology results come back.

I first heard about the See's Orange Cream lollypops last year when I saw Cybele's review of them on candyblog.net from last year. I had made plans with my fiance to run to the nearest See's store over the weekend to look for these lollypops, when I was thoughtfully sent samples during the week. They somehow read my mind! Thank you See's!
You can find these Orange Cream lollypops in stores and online. They retail for $5.55, which isn't a bad price as each package comes with 8 lollypops. They come in a compact little baggie that's tucked into a decorative sleeve with the candy's logo and information on it. It's a nice cheerful orange color.
These lollypops are very similar to all the other lollypops that See's makes. They're large and square, and come on a sturdy stick with the the See's logo printed on it. The orange foil wrapped on there pops are pretty. Once unwrapped the lollypops are a slight beige color. The smell slightly sweet.
The flavor is certainly creamy, which is always nice in a lollypop. You can immediately taste the flavors of vanilla and orange in here, and I am reminded of a creamsicle. It's a I was expecting the flavor to have more intensity, since orange and vanilla are such powerful flavors. It it still very flavorful, but it's just not a hit in the face like the root beer and cinnamon lollypops were.
I really liked these lollypops. They're a fun way to have the "creamsicle" flavor without having the cold ice cream part. I also find the flavor very appropriate for Easter, it's light and reminds me of spring. Due to their substantial size, they're treats that will last a good long time, so it's easier to savor it. What could be better on Easter Sunday than savoring a nice treat?

As the City Creek Center sets to open, we're planning exactly how we're going to provide coverage of the new mall.
We're going to cover the media tour of the completed mall on March 21, editor Marcie Young Cancio recently posted a sneak peek video of the new Macy's and Nordstro, and we will send a photographer to cover the Charity Gala on March 21. Not too shabby.
If you're one of the lucky people who bought a ticket for the gala (now sold out), smile for SLmag photographer Francie Aufdemorte's camera and enjoy the food, beverages and being one of the first people to shop City Creek Center stores. All proceeds from ticket sales are going to local charities.
We'll post a web gallery with the photos shortly after the event.
And if you're kicking yourself for not getting a ticket when they were available, click here for all of the other public events the City Creek Center and its stores are hosting to celebrate this exciting moment in Downtown, SLC history.
The City Creek Center officially opens to the public on March 22.

Wow…Jesse Crain a White Sock! My thoughts about one of the most polarizing figures in the Twins bullpen since 2004:
If you have read this blog the last few years (or even just scanning through would probably do the trick), you'll know the emnity I have towards Crain runs quite deep. I always thought he vultured his way (via an extraordinary '04 campaign where he picked up a remarkable amount of late-inning W's) into good standings with Ron Gardenhire to begin with. Plus, I've never seen a reliever with quite the knack for giving up the same-winning hit. I won't do this right now (all Crain's wrongs litter other posts of mine), but I could name multiple, multiple times where he came in a blew a game. Had we released him halfway through last season, I would have been shouting on high:
However, in the last few months of 2010, a strange thing happened: Crain became absolutely unhittable. As much as I hated to admit it, I actually WANTED to see him come into games in the later innings, as Guerrier was faltering and the rest of the pen couldn't find their backside with thier collective arms. Crain himself credited the change to a new type of snappy curveball he began throwing, but whatever the case he was "the man" for awhile.
That being said, I'm still glad to see that he's moving on, as I have a troubling feeling (well, not so troubling anymore not that he's a Pale Hose, I guess) that the old "Crain-wreck" is bound to crop up again in the near future (hopefully against us!).

Washington Aviation System Plan:
Aviation Planning Council Meeting Information Public Outreach Technical Reports and Resources Frequently Asked Questions LATS Regional Meeting Summaries LATS Legislation - ESSB 5121 (pdf 15 kb) LATS Timeline (pdf 100 kb) In 2005, the Governor signed into law Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill (ESSB) 5121, which authorized a long-term air transportation planning study for general aviation and commercial airports statewide. The legislation is also known as the Washington State Long-Term Air Transportation Study (LATS). The purpose of LATS is to understand what capacity currently exists in aviation facilities and what will be needed to meet future demand for air transportation. The bill requires WSDOT Aviation to conduct an airport capacity/facility assessment in Phase One and a demand/market analysis in phase two. In the final phase the Governor will appoint a 10 member aviation planning council. The council will review the data and make recommendations to the Governor, Legislature, and Transportation Commission on how to best meet statewide commercial and general aviation capacity needs. The project will be funded primarily through Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grants.
To the right is a map of the state air transportation system. Four "Special Emphasis Regions" identified by the state legislature are shown in dark green. Also depicted are public use airports across the state (General Aviation), and commercial airports with scheduled passenger service.

SCI News
Shine On 2009 | September 3, 2009
On Wednesday August 26, 2009 friends and supporters of Solar Cookers International gathered in Sacramento to celebrate the organization's recent achievements and to hear the latest news at this year's annual Shine On event. SCI's new board president, Gary Hursh, kicked off the event with a heartfelt thank you to veteran volunteer, Don Coan, who was added to the Solar Cookers International Order of Excellence, which recognizes those whose sustained efforts have contributed most to empowering people to cook food and pasteurize water with solar energy. Gary then announced a bold but achievable fundraising initiative, calling on donors and supporters to help SCI reach $50,000 in donations during the month of September. For ways that you can help, please visit the Support SCI page on our website.
This year, Shine On festivities moved from the Sacramento Zoo's Kampala Center to the Sierra 2 Center in Curtis Park. The new venue was just one of several exciting changes to the event. Also new was the silent auction, offering guests a chance to bid on a beautiful array of items including ceramic jewelry, soapstone sculptures and African collectibles. Also up for auction was a weekly delivery of local, organic produce from Soil Born Farms. Renowned artist, activist and solar cook, Mary Frank, graciously donated posters of her work to help raise funds for SCI. These beautiful pieces are still available for bidding and will be posted on eBay soon.
Another addition to the program this year was a lively talk by solar cooking enthusiast Elaine Corn, who is a food critic for the Sacramento Bee and appears regularly on Capital Public Radio. Her presentation on the world's cuisine offered by Sacramento-area restaurants was a big hit with the audience.
Finally, SCI Co-Founder, Dr. Bob Metcalf, reported on activities connected with SCI's Safe Water Project during his July 2009 trip to Kenya. He showed pictures of families that had received the safe water package, which included a CooKit and pot, Water Pasteurization Indicator and ceramic safe storage container, and reported a dramatic decrease of diarrhea incidents among their children. Bob also reported on water testing workshops for water service providers in the Tana Catchment District and for 25 Peace Corps Volunteers in training for public health assignments throughout Kenya.
Thank you to everyone who attended, and to the event's sponsors for helping to make the evening so special.

ZF-5188: Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover should be able to generate RPC/Literal styles
Some technologies are discouraging the use of RPC/encoded soap styles and are rather using RPC/Literal specifically JBossWS doesn't support rpc/encoded anymore, so it may be useful to consider this for next release of Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover since it uses rpc/encoded by default.
Luckily for me I found this thread: http://nabble.com/Cannot-consume-SOAP-Service-td20… which seems to work fine. I don't know which is the tendency but meanwhile it would be great if we could have the ability to chose either styles.
Here is the code suggested on the post:
/* 's / $operation = $wsdl->addBindingOperation($binding, $method->getName(), array('use' => 'literal', 'namespace' => $this->getUri()), array('use' => 'literal', 'namespace' => $this->getUri())); $wsdl->addSoapOperation($operation, $uri->getUri() . '#' .$method->getName()); / 's */
Fixed in trunk, schedulded for inclusion in ZF 1.8

Cancer is not an appropriate colored ribbon sitting demurely in the corner. It is the 500-pound gorilla ripping through your life. There is no such thing as a "easy " cancer. It is a destructive force in your life — both physical and emotional. It is not something you catch, it's not something that you did wrong. It's just the darn Gorilla ripping around. So what do you do ? You get your team of zoo keepers together — family doctor, radiologist, pathologist, general surgeon, oncologist, minister, family, and friends, everyone of these people have a very important role to play in taming this gorilla, but you have to be the one in charge. In the past 14 years, I've been diagnosed with breast cancer, uterine cancer, and kidney cancer. I am the luckiest person I know because I have the best zoo keepers in town.

Karen J. Greenberg, a published author and Director of the Center on National Security at Fordham Law School, dissects controversial legal theories behind drone warfare on JustLove, the Catholic Channel, aired on Saturday, March 2, 2013.
Part of the Obama administration's campaign against terror, drone warfare is a targeted killing program that relies on unmanned aircraft operated by remote control from a network of secret bases around the world.
Efficiency – the ability to save American lives by not putting troops in harms' way and, in theory, reducing civilian casualties – are positive aspects of this relatively new military method, Ms. Greenberg says.
But drones' ability to create "a reign of terror," to heighten anti-Americanism and to promote the probable use of predator drones by other countries on American targets, she adds, makes us question "is this a road we want to go down?"
Listen to her conversation with Msgr. Kevin Sullivan, Executive Director of Catholic Charities New York, broadcasted on March 2, 2013 on JustLove, The Catholic Channel 129, SIRIUS XM Satellite Radio.
JustLove, aired weekly on Saturday at 10 am EST, features conversations about the church in the world to promote a more just and compassionate society.

Hope Valley Top Complete
This one started out as a sketch. I didn't have any particular fabric in mind at the time—I was just sketching. But I knew I wanted small-scale prints with very little white. Hope Valley jumped to mind immediately.
Next, I made a mock-up in Adobe Illustrator. I don't do mock-ups for all my quilts, but I knew this design would take some hard-core planning in order to pull it off, so no flying by the seat of my pants on this one! I like to use Illustrator for my mock-ups because you can import scans of your fabric and save them as pattern swatches in the color palette. Then you can easily fill any shape with that pattern—it will automatically repeat the pattern to fill any shape/size. It makes mocking up with prints easy, quick, and accurate.
Even with the mock-up, I kept making adjustments to the design as I pieced it. Most notably, I dumped the yellow/green inner squares. And that was after I sewed all the HSTs! (But before I squared them up, at least. And I'm sure those HSTs will make an appearance in something else.) There are a few other smaller differences between the mock-up and the finished top. I also went back and forth about the borders and sashing before finally settling on what you see here.
And I am so happy with how all of those seams came together! Finally my seams are starting to match up! As I finished piecing this last night, I thought back to when I started quilting and would get so frustrated because things just wouldn't line up. It's so nice to realize that all my failed attempts and all my practice are finally paying off. There are certainly places where this top could have come together better, but it is head-and-shoulders above where I was last year at this time. Now I just need to work on that quilting!
So of course, I'm planning to quilt this one myself—probably diagonal lines through all those little squares. Hopefully I can get to that after Thanksgiving.
Oh, I'm also adding this to Quilt Story's Fabric Tuesday. And don't forget WIP Wednesday tomorrow—please join us with your WIPs!

Love, Love, Love it! The fabric is perfect and the pattern is beautiful. I agree with Felicity, people would totally buy the pattern.
I really like how the block goes off into the border. THAT is good piecing - by the time I get to my borders I just slap something solid on because it makes my head spin to figure out how to piece that long strip so everything matches up - and it doesn't match even when I figure it out. :)
Great job!

Despite their many advantages, cover crops aren't always the ideal choice. Here are some considerations that may dissuade you from growing a cover crop.
Tilling Under. To gain the most benefits, gardeners should incorporate overwintering cover crops into the soil at or before full bloom in spring. Some crops, such as hairy vetch, put on so much top growth that you must cut or mow them before you turn them under. These may be difficult to handle unless you have a powerful mower, tractor, or tiller. With that equipment, the tops can be cut and tilled under, used as mulch around plants, or composted. Gardeners without such machines find it easier to grow cover crops that aren't winter-hardy in their areas or those that produce less top growth and are easy to turn under by hand in spring. Cover crops that die over the winter, including oats and mustard in the Northeast, still protect soil somewhat with their root systems.
Delayed Planting. Cover crops must be turned under in spring at least two weeks before planting. That requirement may delay your usual planting time if you have a wet soil or a wet spring, or if you're growing cover crops that mature later. Furthermore, you may have to till a cover crop in early, losing some benefits of nitrogen fixing and organic matter. If the tilled-in crop hasn't decomposed by planting time, your plants may have a temporary nitrogen deficiency as microbes use soil nitrogen to break down the organic matter from the cover crop.
Stealing Water. In dry areas, as in the Southwest, cover crops consume vital moisture from the soil, especially when they're getting established. In such situations, choose a crop such as barley that needs minimal water to germinate, grows well in dry soils, and is planted before annual rains in the area.
Weeds. If you allow some cover crops (annual ryegrass is one) to go to seed, they can become weeds. To derive maximum benefits from the cover crop and to prevent reseeding, till it under at or before flowering.
