New to Open Water Swimming? Read here!
FOR BEGINNERS: by Karen Burton Reeder
I learned to swim in a lake where my family lived in northern Wisconsin. My siblings and I trained summer workouts in open water since the nearest pool was a thirty minute drive and our back yard was more convenient. Due to this immersion, it did not seem difficult to me when I competed in my first open water race in Seal Beach, California, in my late twenties. Open water swimming is a never ending adventure. Some of my favorite memories are from swims; leaving from Catalina Island for the California mainland at 1am on a windless moonlight night, watching the phosphorescence glow as my arm pulled through the water and fish dart below; swimming in tandem with my husband, Dave, silhouetted against the beautiful blue Caribbean water off the coast of St. Lucia. Other memories include the sense of fear before beginning a 42 kilometer race in Newport Vermont, which heads north up Lake Memphremagog towards Canada and a foggy memory (due to mild hypothermia) of finishing in Calais, France after crossing the English Channel. There was also the exhilaration of conquering tough cold conditions or large waves and chop, swimming and finishing races despite mother natures indifference to my plight.
There is a freedom and challenge swimming in open water which just cant be experienced in the pool. Besides that, its FUN!! Are you ready?
How to begin?
Swimming in open water is your goal, where to start? I will assume that you already know how to swim. If not, take some lessons, join a YMCA or a masters swimming team and learn the crawlstroke/freestyle.
There are a few things that you can do in the pool to prepare for swimming in open water; bilateral breathing, head lifting and stroke rate training.
First of all, breathing on both sides, or bilateral breathing, is a must. (I can hear the groans!!!) Is this within your physical capabilities? Stand up and twist the upper half of your body to the right and then to the left. Then turn your head to the right and left. SCHEZAM!!! Learning to breathe on both sides is possible. Why is this necessary? Imagine or perform the following experiment. Find an open space about 400 yards long. Select a target and try to walk straight towards it EXCEPT close your eyes and turn your head, looking to the right every 2 steps. Sneak a look forward every 10 steps. Vision in the water will be even more restricted than this because your forward view may be restricted depending upon wave conditions, fog in your goggles or glare from the sun reflecting off of the water. This is also assuming strict concentration upon straight line swimming not imagining that shadows are sharks or weeds are snakes- a difficult task for your first open water foray.
Breathing on both sides accomplishes two main goals. It tends to even out your stroke so that you will naturally swim straighter. Ha, ha, you already KNOW how to swim straight, right? But that is in the pool. Think of the available cues, lane lines on the side and a black line on the bottom to guide your progress. Open water is much different. In addition to the lack of visual cues available in the pool, the water is colder, there might be some waves and the pool length can be as long as a mile!
The second advantage to bilateral breathing is that it will allow you to see to the right and left. When swimming in the ocean, the usual course traverses down and back along the beach. With single side breathing, half of your race will have NO visible cues toward the shore. Watching the shoreline is extremely helpful for straight swimming in the ocean.
Other advantages include being able to breath away from oncoming waves or fumes from boats and snubbing your trainer in escort swims if he/she makes you mad.
Another skill to practice in the pool is lifting your head to see forward while swimming. The easiest way is to lift your head forward just before taking a breath to the side. I use the forward motion to look and then breathe to the side. Breathing head forward is not suggested since it requires too much energy to lift the head high enough for a breath and will cause slower swimming. Swim head up freestyle in the pool and see how difficult it is compared with head down swimming.
Try to get comfortable with this peek forward in the pool where it is relatively calm. It will be more difficult in open water, especially in the ocean.
How often is it necessary to look forward? That depends upon your straight line swimming ability coupled with course conditions. Ideally, the less head lifting, the better, but swimming off course is also not advantageous. Initially, try only looking forward every 10 strokes (each arm counts as one).
Temperatures in open water are usually colder and may require a quicker stroke rate, -how much time it takes to complete your arm pull-. In open water, stroke rate is determined by counting once for each arm as it starts pulling through the water.
The rate is determined by counting each arm stroke for one minute (or counting for 30 seconds and multiplying by 2, or counting for 15 seconds and multiplying by 4). The best open water swimmers in the world have stroke rates between 70 and 100 strokes per minute, with women generally on the higher end of that scale. A faster stroke rate will assist in keeping a swimmer warmer in cold water. Have a friend time your rate in the pool. If it is under 60, you may want to work on increasing it to better handle colder temperatures.
Dont get frustrated if increasing your stroke rate is difficult. People usually do not have a daily activity where their arm muscles exercise aerobically. Swimmers develop aerobic arms through years of training. A runners aerobic capability may not automatically transfer to the pool where the arms are the primary motor instead of the legs. Likewise, I can swim comfortably at 80 strokes per minutes after years of training, but watch out if Im out running; I sound like a steam locomotive.
I have one more suggestion with which some coaches may disagree; modifying the stroke recovery. The recovery is how a swimmer brings the arm out of the water and back to the front after completing a stroke. Many times coaches teach swimmers to sharply bend their elbow during the recovery. This usually brings the hand close to the surface of the water. This type of recovery may not work as well in waves. A majority of open water marathon swimmers use a straight arm recovery as opposed to a bent elbow recovery. I believe a straight arm recovery works better in waves and also helps reduce strain on the shoulder. The pectoral muscles work more to recover the arm when it is straight while the shoulder and rotator cuff muscles work more to recover the arm when it is bent at the elbow.
I developed my straight arm splash in attempt to get out of the wall lane where distance swimmers are usually relegated. I hoped the ensuing flood on deck would get me transferred to a middle lane. My ploy was unsuccessful as coaches just started wearing rain gear. Experiment with your recovery and see what works best for you, bent, straight, or somewhere in between. All types have been used by fast swimmers and world record holders; Janet Evans being a prime example of a successful straight arm recovery swimmer.
The basics, cap suit and goggles are the same with some small variations. A thicker cap (made of silicon as opposed to latex) might be preferable to keep the head warmer. Sometimes a swimming cap does not stay on very well and continually slips. This can be extremely annoying during a race. Try wearing a new cap which isnt stretched out. Another tip, avoid hair conditioner for several days before a race. Conditioner makes the hair slippery and helps the cap slide. If the water and air are hot, and your hair short, a cap may not be necessary. Tinted goggles which reflect the sun and reduce glare can also be helpful, but they are not a necessity.
A special swimming suit is not necessary although chaffing is a consideration when selecting your attire. Rub marks on the skin from the suit and body parts can occur and are likely in salt water. The more salt, the more rubs. When I swam the12 mile race around Key West, the water was so salty that all of the seams of my suit created rub marks which was very unusual. Rub areas include the armpit, inner thighs, neck and bust line. Women have more trouble because of their suits at the neck and bust line near the armpit. Men can have trouble where their beard or whiskers rub against their neck and arms. Vasoline, lanolin, bag balm or other grease can be used to prevent chafe marks. Now that Ive had a baby, I suspect that Desitin would also work well, but I havent tried it yet. For beginners, apply grease in the armpit, neck and inner thigh. If rubs are going to occur in other areas, a few training swims will make bring them to the forefront. Some swimmers use gloves, a rag or even a stick off the beach to apply grease without getting it on their hands. Grease on the hands can easily get on goggles. Greasy goggles, not good! If you are wearing a suit which zips up the back, the zipper at the top often rubs the skin. Sewing a small piece of felt or chamois cloth between the zipper closure and skin will prevent chaffing.
Also, dont forget sunblock if you are out during peak sun hours. Experiment and find out what works best for your skin. Waterproof does not necessarily mean that the block will work for hours on end. If you are planning a long training swim, try to start early in the morning before the suns rays reach their peak.
First open water foray.
Now that you have practiced a couple of skills, you are ready for your first open water swim. Your location will dictate which sites are available. Be smart for your first start. If it is raining and cold with 20 mile per hour winds, put your swim off to another day.
Research the site where you plan to swim. Safety should always be your first priority. Are there lifeguards on duty? If yes, let them know your swim plans; direction, time and/or distance. If not, dont swim alone. Have someone kayak, paddle, swim or walk the shore along your side. Try to stay close to shore in water depth where you can stand unless the ocean surf dictates otherwise. Find out the water temperature so you will have a better idea what to expect. Are there hazards such as rip currents in the area? What water creatures might be encountered? Talk to the lifeguards or other local swimmers in order to get information about the site.
Have an escape plan from your swim if the weather or your body takes a turn for the worse. This is easy during a shoreline beach swim, just get out and walk back to the start.
Getting In
Take a moment before getting in the water to look and see whats available for landmarks to help gauge your location during your swim. The sun is the easiest landmark to use if it is low in the sky. If you are swimming a straight course and the sun is directly to your left while breathing, watching it will help gauge your position. If it suddenly appears in front, youre off course and need to readjust.
The ocean or lake shoreline is another excellent landmark that can be seen on each breath (assuming bilateral breathing is part of your repertoire) and are easy to use when swimming an out and back course along the shore.
In a lake, there may be a large tree sticking up above the horizon or a brightly colored house across the lake which can be used to keep aim; finally, a reason to be thankful for a homeowners bright pink paint selection. Try to use landmarks which are tall or high above the horizon as opposed to those close to the water level. If a landmark is low, it may be difficult to see if there are waves or swell. Look for tall buildings, water towers or church steeples. While swimming at open water camp in Mooselookmeguntic Lake in Maine yes, that is the actual name of the lake- mountains in the area provided excellent landmarks.
Swimmers have a saying, The worst part of workout is getting in the pool. Getting into open water isnt any easier. Is better to get in slowly and adjust to the temperature or get in quickly? Try both and see which is preferable, either is acceptable with one caveat. If the air temperature is cold, a lot of body heat can be lost while getting in if it takes several minutes. Better to get in quickly and lose less body heat than slowly and get chilled before starting. If the water is cold but the air is warm, and sun is shining, its OK to take longer getting in since your bodys not losing heat.
Many open water athletes swim for time rather than distance for their training. While watching your wristwatch, time might seem like it is D R A G G I N G! This is fairly common. Five minutes seems like twenty. Dont worry; your time sense will improve with more open water practice. Adjusting to swimming for long periods without turns, takes time.
Take it easy and try to enjoy your first open water experience. Check in after the first few minutes, and ask yourself, Am I relaxed? If your arms and legs feel like 2x4s, concentrate on relaxing your muscles and see if that helps your comfort level improve. The mind is your company during open water swims, and its important to keep the little voice (sometimes its shouting) in your head echoing a positive message. Try to keep the negative thoughts (this #*$% stinks!) to a minimum. Sometimes its helpful to yell out negative thoughts, This water is FREEZING or These waves are horrible!, and get them out of your system.
Dont be concerned if your first experience isnt nirvana. Remember back, learning to ride a bike or drive a car? Those skills werent second nature the first time either. The more experience gained in open water will help increase your comfort level.

ZF-9836: Zend_Db_Table_Row_Abstract objects should be iterable/traversable
Categorized as bug since there are various serialization routines in ZF that would like to be able to introspect Row objects.
Because Zend_Db_Table_Row_Abstract cannot be iterated over in a foreach loop the serializer cannot make the column values available to Flash Builder and as such, Flash Builder cannot introspect the classes.
To fix the issue Zend_Db_Table_Row_Abstract needs to implement IteratorAggregate (Thanks Ralph) so the AMF serializer can work properly, along with the getIterator code:
public function getIterator()
return new ArrayIterator($this->_data);

Man dies after single-vehicle accident Sunday
Published: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 11:14 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 11:14 a.m.
A 47-year-old man died Sunday after his vehicle was involved in a single-car accident on Arnold Road.
Mike Joseph Morphis of West Ridge Drive died at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, according to an obituary.
Pam Kearns with the N.C. Highway Patrol said Morphis was the lone person involved in the accident at 4:28 p.m. Sunday. The wreck occurred near Conrad Sowers Road, 4.7 miles north of Lexington.
Morphis was driving a 1998 Jeep sports utility vehicle westbound on Arnold Road. His vehicle ran off the roadway to the right and collided into a ditch. His vehicle continued forward and overturned several times before he was ejected. Kearns said the Jeep came to rest on its right side in a field, and Morphis landed behind the vehicle.
Morphis was not wearing his seat belt, according to the Highway Patrol. He was estimated to be traveling at the posted speed limit of 45 miles per hour.
Kearns said Morphis had medical conditions prior to the accident. She said family members have told troopers he was a diabetic. Kearns said troopers are awaiting an autopsy to determine if a medical condition led to the accident.
According to an obituary, Morphis worked at several area hospitals and nursing homes until his health began to deteriorate after being diagnosed with diabetes.

About Me
- About Impo
- Biography
- Hey guys, I'm Impo.
If you're reading this, ...that's just plain weird, there are plenty of more exciting people to stalk here. I'm writing this because it makes my Bio look more detailed, so there is really no point in reading it. I'm just going to rant on about absolutely nothing in particular until I feel that it's a suitable length.
I almost swallowed a marble the other day. I was eating Malteasers and there were these marbles, and I accidentally got them confused. The sad thing was I just thought the chocolate was hard, so I almost broke my teeth. Not even two year olds try eating marbles, then take five minutes to realize, "Hey! I'm trying to eat glass!".
Crap, that only makes about six lines on my Bio. Seriously, it looked about twelve lines long when I was typing this, but the minute I save it it just shrinks or something, I don't know. Maybe there's some dark magic preventing me from writing lengthy paragraphs? I sure hope not, because I never really had the skill to drone on and on and on, so that would just be wasting dark magic. I'm pretty sure there are a lot of other more important things dark magic should be doing. Like taking candy from babies, and making old people trip over. Hehe, that always makes me laugh. I don't know why, but imagining an old lady with a stroller tumbling over on the sidewalk gives me the giggles. I know, I'm horrible, get over it. I can tell you're laughing too, so you have the same sick, twisted humor as me. Congratulations, I'm so proud!
Okay, so that's longer, but not long enough. Now I look semi-smart, which isn't good enough. I need to look over-the-top genius, so people think "Why the hell would someone bother to write so much about themselves on a Pokemon Forum?". I want people to think that. I will make them think that. Damn, now I'm thinking about it. Ha! Now you're thinking about it too, aren't you? It worked! It actually worked! Okay, okay, calm down. I have a speech prepared to commemorate this glorious moment.
*Clears Throat*
"I'd like to thank all those idio- Ummm, those wonderful friends of mine for wasting about five minutes of their obviously invaluable life to read this sad excuse for a Bio.
I'd also like to thank God, for helping me with support from above the heavens.
Mum, thanks for everything, but I'm still going to send you to a nursing home.
To those annoying idiots who annoy me at school, look at me now, you twats!
I'd also like to-"
Wait? What! There's a character limit for my speech? That's not fair, I wasn't finished. I didn't have much more to say, either. I never ever talk for too long, I'm the human equivalent of a mouse. I'm small, I have a tail and I can make elephants run in the other direction.
Okay, that's about enough now. I think I can fool those who just skim across this page, those skimmer-ers, those. Let's just hope to God they don't actually read this, or they'll realize that I'm actually an idiot. Crap, let's just keep quiet and hope that no one notices this, got it? I'm serious, Bio. Squeal and I'll delete you. I don't care about you're family, they'll get used to a dead Bio. So you better pray no one reads this.

Well, I made a to-do list and quite frankly didn't really focus on completing much of it.
But, in a way I have pretty much paved the way for all my fitness goals, now that I exercise regularly.
I wanna summarize my achievements just so I can see how they add up.

2010 Topps Triple Threads Baseball
Contest Entries: 73 - All-Time Record!
|The good people over at Baseball Factory Sets were nice enough to hook up the members of the Sports Card Radio Fan Forum with an opportunity to win cards from this box of 2010 Topps Triple Threads Baseball. These boxes are way out of our price range so it certainly was a generous donation! We gave away every card to 12 different Fan Forum members and also set a record for the most contest entries we've ever had for a box break: 73!
|We pulled some very nice cards from this box in which every card is serial numbered. Our two hits were nice, Ichiro cards sell very well on the secondary market. The Roger Maris Gold Parallel #/99 was a nice touch as well. There was a manufactures printing flaw on the Aaron Hill Autograph #/9. For some reason, there is a 'chip' on the silver sticker that the auto appears on. Very weird, not sure I've ever seen something like that. These cards are somewhat condition sensitive because of their thick construction.

|Suppose T is a non invertible expanding map preserving a measure m. The action of T on the points of the space induces an action on the space of "mass densities" f dm. This action is called the transfer operator, and it can be viewed as an operator on L^1 (the space of integrable signed densities f). As it turns out, the more chaotic the behavior of T, the better is the behavior of the transfer operator. This observation is the starting point for a collection of methods for analyzing the ergodic and stochastic properties of m by a studying the operator theoretic properties of the transfer operator. We will develop the basic theory and explore some of the applications, such as decay of correlations and (time permitting) the central limit theorem.

Oregon Not Yet Accepting Text to 9-1-1
Apr 20, 2015 at 2:11 PM
Oregon Not Yet Accepting Text to 9-1-1
Text to 9-1-1 has recently come available in parts of the State of Washington. Oregon does not yet employ text to 9-1-1 from your cell phone. Oregon is currently under the practice of VOICE FIRST – should you attempt to send a text to 9-1-1 you will receive an immediate reply that you should contact emergency services by calling 9-1-1.
Oregon is working toward an upgrade to its current infrastructure to allow text to 9-1-1 messaging. The 75 cent emergency tax you pay per month for every device on your cell phone bill will help fund that upgrade.
Until text to 9-1-1 becomes available, you should ALWAYS make a voice call to 9-1-1 if you are able and safe to do so.

Shaun White at last year's Dew Tour in SLCStarting with an autograph signing tonight (Sept. 7) from 5–7 p.m. at the Gateway, the Dew Tour will run to Sept. 11 and acts as the semifinal to the Las Vegas finale.
Currently the 2009 champion, Bucky Lasek, is battling out the skateboarding vert comp with reigning king Pierre-Luc Gagnon while snowboarding crossover Shaun White trails in third place. The winners of the past two BMX Park events, Scotty Cranmer and Kyle Baldock are only two wins away from being crowned champion of the tour. The street comp features a mixed bag of pro skaters—lead by the Nike-sponsored P-Rod.
Back when I'd ride the mini-dirt ramps at Tanner Park, I imagined myself alongside pros like Ryan Nyquist. The fact that he's still among the top competitors in the Park comp—and has been for the past fifteen years—explains why he's called a legend.
Of all the pros at the tour this year, SLmag is most stoked to see Ryan Nyquist and Bucky Lasek tear it up. Bucky was Tony Hawk's right-hand man (and #2 piece) in The End, and has been a fixture in the skateboarding community for over a decade. It's great to see young stars push the sport, but starting this Thursday, we wish Ryan and Bucky the best.
Click here for more info on the tour.
We'll be covering the Dew Tour, so check back for a follow-up on all the action.

I'm a native Clevelander, and have always been a keen record shopper. I bought my first record with my own money, Lulu's "To Sir, With Love," at the Disc record store in Severance Center mall, across from the cinema where my Mom and I had just seen the movie starring Sidney Poitier. As a kid I shopped 'em all: Record Revolution and the Record Exchange on Coventry Road in Cleveland Heights; Tommy Edward's Record Heaven in the Memphis-Fulton Shopping Center in Cleveland and the venerable Record Rendezvous in downtown Cleveland, among others.
When I moved to New York City in the late Seventies, my record jones sent me out on regular excursions around Greenwich Village, both east and west. Sounds on St. Mark's Place was my East Village haunt, while Bleeker Bob's, closer to the West Side, was a little more out of the way. It took awhile for me to warm up to Bleeker's – or rather – for the store to warm up to me. I experienced my own version of a scene from High Fidelity the first time I walked into Bleeker Bob's. There was a terrific song on the turntable. It was brash, a little jarring, clarion-like – it kinda sounded like a joyous train wreck. Twenty seconds in, I knew I wanted to buy it, but when I approached the counter, the clerk refused to sell me the record. Another customer, a regular, laughed and urged the clerk to lighten up and chided him into selling me the record. It was kind of a rite of passage, and the snooty clerk – the store's namesake aka Robert Plotnik – relented and never gave me any trouble after that. The record, by the way, was Wire's "Dot Dash," and I still own it.
When I heard Bleeker Bob's was closing (its last day was April 13, 2013), I immediately remembered that experience and thought about how sad it was that record buying immigrants to NYC would be denied that kind of rite of passage. I wasn't mourning the loss of being treated shabbily, but the acceptance into the scene – the feeling of walking into a record store and being at home, being part of a group as passionate about music as I was. I never found that feeling again until I walked into my new favorite record store, Blue Arrow Records in the Waterloo area of Cleveland's North Collinwood neighborhood. Point is, there are still great record stores all over the country, the world. And it's important for music lovers to support them, not just as retail establishments, but as gathering places, forums for discussion and debate, centers for learning and enjoyment – places to share music with others in the real-ist of times.
In honor of Record Store Day on April 20, I say, RIP Bleeker Bob's, and long live the remaining great ones! Go vinyl or go home! Support your local record store! Take 10% off all vinyl records on National Record Store Day, Saturday, April 20, 2013 at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's FYE Record Store.

Wrestling Hosts EIWA Pair, Including No. 6 Cornell In 2014 Ivy Opener
Wrestling head coach Chris Ayres recently moved several starters up a weight, and he saw quick success. He discusses the decision, the standout season from Abe Ayala and the upcoming dual meets in his latest video interview.

Roster l Schedule l Twitter
Roster l Schedule l Twitter
The singlets may be the same, and most of the same starters will take the mat, but those will be about all the similarities from Princeton's first home wrestling match and the two it will host this weekend. Princeton takes on a pair of EIWA rivals, including sixth-ranked Cornell, this Saturday to start the final sprint towards the wrestling postseason.
Princeton (5-1) hosts Franklin & Marshall (5-4) and No. 6 Cornell (7-0) this weekend, and both matches will be streamed live on the Ivy League Digital Network. The Tigers host Franklin & Marshall at 1 pm, and they will host reigning EIWA champion Cornell at 6 pm; both matches will be held at Dillon Gym.
That is the first difference from the December home match against Rutgers, which was held inside Jadwin Gym. Most of the Tiger starters from that match are also slated to start this weekend, but most will be at different spots in the lineup.
And Princeton lost that day. The Tigers would love to change that too.
Head coach Chris Ayres moved four starters (Jordan Laster, Adam Krop, Kevin Moylan and Brett Harner) up a weight following the Midlands Championships; he discusses that decision as part of the video interview, which you can see by clicking the play link in the photo above. Since that decision, Princeton earned its first win over Hofstra since 1989, and it won multiple weight class at the F&M Open.
Each of those four starters is likely to see at least one nationally ranked opponent this weekend, though none could have a tougher road than Laster. The freshman 141-pounder will likely face reigning EIWA champion Richard Durso, currently the 12th-ranked wrestler in the nation, during the F&M match; a few hours later, he could take on seventh-ranked Mike Nevinger of Cornell.
Krop (149), Moylan (157) and Harner (184) each have possible Top 10 opponents waiting for them in the Cornell match. Krop, who was ranked nationally at 141, could make a major statement to the ranking committee when he faces eighth-ranked Chris Villalonga.
One Princeton wrestler who has become comfortable at his weight is sophomore Abe Ayala, who Ayres discusses specifically in the interview above. Ayala is 16-6 this season and has won his last seven matches; he was ranked fifth in the latest EIWA rankings, and he could move up with a successful result against Cornell's Jace Bennett, who was third in those same rankings.
Princeton will head to New England the following weekend for a trio of duals, including a pair against Ivy rivals Harvard (Feb. 8) and Brown (Feb. 9).

Just four doctors in the United States practice late term abortions. Every time they go to work, walk out of their front doors or attend church, the threat of death goes with them. And, on Friday afternoon, at the Sundance Film Festival premiere of After Tiller—a documentary about their murdered colleague Dr. George Tiller—all four of these doctors were gathered together in one, small Park City theater.
Competing in the festival's U.S. documentary competition, Martha Shane and Lana Wilson's After Tiller takes an intimate look at these four American doctors—Leroy Carhart, Warren Hern, Susan Robinson and Shelley Sella—who perform late-term abortions, drawing attention to the heartache of their patients and the struggles of their staffs amid the politically charged issue of female reproductive rights.
"The day Dr. Tiller was murdered, there was no other thought in my head but to carry on," Carhart said in the film, despite an arson fire at his stable years before that killed 21 horses.
Amid tight security—armed police officers and a strict audience-wide check for weapons—these doctors, who have received death threats, seen property destroyed and vandalized and have been kept by city councils from leasing space for their practices, sat with the filmmakers in the Temple Theater.

Named for Tiller, who was gunned down and killed in 2009, filmmakers Shane and Wilson spent nearly three years on the project with the goal of bringing clarity to an issue that is often seen as simply right or wrong in the eyes of the American public and through the mainstream media.
"We don't feel this film is forcing anyone to think any one way," Wilson said during the Q&A panel after the premiere. "There are circumstances people may have never considered before. It's not the black and white you see in the news, but a vast grey area."
Protestors are a presence throughout the film, but Shane and Wilson smartly keep them in the background and avoided portraying them as angry religious zealots—a touchpoint for potential criticism for presenting the film as pro-choice propaganda. Rarely are the protestors given center stage, except when, after a change in Nebraska law, Carhart tries to move his practice to Maryland.

Despite the threats, all four doctors are dedicated to their work (Robinson and Sella are now training another doctor on third trimester abortions) and see it as an important choice for their patients, many of whom have been victims of horrific rapes or have found the children they're carrying have severe fetal abnormalities, as seen in the film.
One mother, a woman named Monica, sobbed in Robinson's office after making the decision to abort at 20+ weeks because her baby—Hudson—had a rare condition where his bones were shattering within her womb. "We knew, either way, it would be a tragic story for him," she said. "It didn't seem fair to him [to have him live that life.]"
Stories like Monica's, Robinson noted in the film, offer one of the biggest emotional hurdles. "I hear such sad things and it brings tears to my eyes," she said. "The only time they get to say hello to their baby, they also have to say goodbye. That's the one thing that makes this work so trying."
Abortions after the 20th week often require the woman go through a labor and deliver in stillbirth, something counselors and doctors at the clinics make sure the women understand early on. "What's hard about third trimester abortion is that the woman delivers a baby, a stillborn," Sella said. "I struggle because I think of them as babies. I don't think of them as [fetuses]."
According to the film, late-term abortions—after the 21stweek—account for less than 1 percent of all abortions in the United States. Yet, it's a battleground issue the filmmakers—both born afterRoe v. Wade—tried to approach in a way that presented new ideas and ways of looking at late abortions. "It seemed people were alienated from the topic of abortion because it was so polarizing," Shane said during theQ&A. "We wanted to make it something that looked at the complexity of the issue."

ZF-12072: Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_Url doesn't encode arrays
$_POST decodes correctly myvar%5B0%5D=1. This is returned from Zend_Request::getParam correctly:
Array( 0 => 1 )
when Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_Url::simple($module, $controller, $action, array('myvar' => array(0 => 1))); is called it triggers an E_WARNING because urlencode isn't able to encode arrays.
i believe this can be easily fixed using http_build_query in Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_Url
It appears that you probably expected the url helper to produce the query string for your url, but this is not the intent of the component, it is only for reversing a route to produce the path section of the url. to produce your query string, please use http_build_query as you mentioned above.
I am closing this, as there is no support for array parameters in routes at all, so this is just not going to be possible to implement in a sane way.

Full SubmissionThe changing climate, with its associated impacts on the environment, economies, social welfare and human lives, is one of the strongest indicators of our unsustainable development path, which Rio+20 must address. Rio+20 will be an important opportunity for: ? increasing the overall ambition of political commitments on climate change; ? promoting actions and accountability in areas such as the green economy and post-MDG framework that are inseparable from climate change; ? strengthening sustainable development governance structures to include stronger implementation, compliance and enforcement mechanisms including strengthening transparency, citizen engagement and accountability (reflected in Principle 10 of the Rio Declaration) mechanisms at the national, regional and international levels; ? strengthening international governance structures to include stronger implementation, compliance and enforcement mechanisms ? governments, businesses and civil society to agree to practical steps at the local, national and global level that address climate change (both mitigation and adaptation); ? ensure that principles of fairness and equity ? based on the original 1992 Rio Earth Summit declaration of ?common but differentiated responsibilities? (CBDR) ? are central to sustainable development. 1. Increasing political will and ambition: At Rio, countries must raise their ambition, including developing science based commitments, increased emissions reduction targets and financial commitments, equitable effort sharing, and robust implementation. With political leaders in Rio, this is a key opportunity to raise the overall political will for greater action on climate change. Heads of state and political leaders should come to Rio prepared to: ? Assess 20 years of progress since Rio ?92 and take stock of existing greenhouse gas reduction commitments and adaptation efforts, and raise their ambition taking into account the principles of CBDR ? Elaborate national and sub national action plans that substantially improve governance ? overseeing progress and supporting implementation ? of sustainable development objectives. ? Ensure the flow of substantial, predictable climate finance beyond 2012 and well above the pledged $100 billion per year by 2020. ? Reform of the UN environmental agencies that strengthen the governance system that delivers an ?environment for development?. Sustainable development needs a global authority on the environment and stronger implementation, compliance and enforcement mechanisms. 2. A fair green economy: At Rio+20, a clear definition of a fair green economy should be developed, which would exclude false solutions with which we can all work and hold governments to account to at Rio. A fair green economy must balance between the ecological, economic and social aspects of the sustainable development model. It should include decent green jobs, addressing consumption issues, ending unsustainable practices, fair transition, and be judged by alternative indicators to GDP, such as those based on rights and social justice. A green economy must address: 1. Empowering workers with access to green jobs: targets and resources for capacity building, green technologies, operational level implementation and training. 2. A transition to a 100% renewable energy and energy efficient economy 3. Equity must be at the heart of the green economy, ensuring the right to development for developing countries while meeting green objectives. 4. Protection of natural capital and biodiversity 5. Address change in production-consumption patterns as the current patterns lead to unsustainable use of natural capital and increasing greenhouse gases emissions. 6. Full participation and consent of communities affected by development projects; and stewardship of natural resources and biodiversity by local communities. Specific demands for Rio+20: ? Commit to clean energy: A key element of a green economy is a clear definition and short to medium-term actions towards clean energy sources. Energy targets put forward by the UN, while not sufficiently addressing these concerns, can guide local and national-level action on ramping up renewable energy and energy efficiency deployment. In CAN's view, countries should aim to reach the following global targets ideally by 2020, and by 2030 (as UNIDO has put forward) at the latest: o 30% of energy use from renewables; o 40% decrease in energy intensity, and o Universal access to modern energy services and ending energy poverty: clean, reliable and affordable energy services for cooking and heating, lighting, communications and productive uses. ? Remove fossil fuel subsidies and perverse incentives: accelerate the phase out of subsidies in line with the G20 commitment, redirecting revenues to those in need and to support renewable energy and energy efficiency programmes. ? Ensure the formulation of Low-Carbon development Strategies (LCDSs): The development of LCDSs is crucial to ensure the smooth transition to a fair and green economy that secures green jobs and equity based on national circumstances. Governments must agree in Rio+20 on establishing national institutional arrangements and modalities for the formulation of these plans. The plans should include decadal targets between now and 2050 that outline the GHG emission trajectory that each country will take in each major sector, as well as policies and measures needed to achieve these targets. ? Develop a UN-level mechanism or capacity to ensure that emerging technologies relevant to green economies receive prior assessment to ensure they are truly socially and environmentally sustainable in order to avoid resources being diverted into ?false solutions?. 3. New finance: Financing for a green economy is crucial, and governments must identify new sources of finance for these purposes, and ensure funds targeted for specific outcomes, including climate, biodiversity protection and development aid. In particular, Rio+20 should address: Innovative sources: In addition to budgetary contributions, there is a need for supplementary sources of long-term finance to meet the financing requirements for climate action. As shown by the UN AGF report a range of innovative sources (such as the Financial Transaction Taxes and Special Drawing Rights) can be use to generate the revenues as well as address the need to cut emissions from shipping and aviation. Uses: Forests, mitigation, adaptation, biodiversity conservation (protected areas/marine protected areas- key to boost ecosystem resilience in face of climate change) all must be prioritized for future funding allocation. This should specifically include development models that are sustainable and community-driven such as decentralized water and energy solutions that strengthen resilience to climate change. Governance: Governments must show a clear commitment to improved governance of funds related to climate change and a green economy. The role of international financial institutions generally (including all the multi-lateral development banks and export credit agencies), the UN, bilateral should be carefully evaluated. Engagement of civil society organizations as active observers (or greater) both in the decision-making process and also in monitoring on how the fund can be accessed should be explicitly confirmed. On climate in particular, the Green Climate Fund (GCF) must play a transformational role both in the way it is governed and operates and in terms of the adaptation and mitigation outcomes it achieves. It should accelerate the shift to low-carbon and climate resilient development pathways by scaling-up resource flows for ambitious and effective climate-related policies and actions in accordance with country-led strategies, and it should incentivise strategic objectives and the achievement of overall national development strategies and the production of development cobenefits. It is vital that civil society and other stakeholders be full partners, both at the international and national level, in determining the way in which the GCF will finance climate action. The role of the World Bank as a trustee should be limited to holding the financial assets of the Green Climate Fund, maintaining appropriate financial records, and preparing financial statements and other reports required by the Board of the Green Climate Fund, in accordance with international fiduciary standards. 4. Forests and REDD REDD+ should not be negotiated at Rio + 20 but governments should set an overall goal for halting deforestation in developing countries. We envisage an objective along the following lines: ? All Parties shall collectively aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and forest degradation of natural forests in developing countries, with the objective of stopping deforestation and degradation of natural forests and related emissions completely, by 2020. For the conservation of existing carbon stocks, enhancement of carbon stocks and sustainable management of forests a second objective could be: ? All Parties shall collectively aim to conserve existing natural and modified natural forests by 2020, ceasing conversion and instead restoring degraded natural forests. In addition, all parties should undertake the sustainable management of forests and enhance forest carbon stocks. Safeguards for land-use changes and forestry activities should be fully implemented. In particular, the following already agreed safeguards should be promoted and supported: ? Respect for the knowledge and rights of indigenous peoples and members of local communities, by taking into account relevant international obligations, national circumstances and laws; ? Actions should be consistent with the conservation of natural forests and biological diversity, ensuring that actions are not used for the conversion of natural forests, but are instead used to incentivize the protection and conservation of natural forests and their ecosystem services, and to enhance other social and environmental benefits. 5. Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security The importance of agriculture ? Global food production is threatened by climate change. Smallholder farmers produce the majority of the world?s food, and they are extremely vulnerable to climate change, therefore food Security of the majority of the world?s population is threatened. ? Globally, agricultural activities associated with intensive high input industrialized agriculture, contribute a significant percentage of greenhouse gas emissions. Policy goals ? Thus, to the greatest extent possible, policies at all levels should be designed and implemented to meet four goals: 1. Sustainably reduce emissions from the agricultural sector; 2. Reduce emissions from the conversion of other land to agriculture; 3. Maintain or increase the Security of food supplies; 4. Enable small-scale food providers and other vulnerable populations to become more resilient to climate change. Guiding principles Countries agreed in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent dangerous climate change: to allow ecosystems to adapt naturally to climate change, to ensure that food production is not threatened and to enable economic development to proceed in a sustainable manner. These agreements require adherence to the following principles in order to be effective: ? In order for small scale farmers to be able to adapt and to build their adaptive capacity, they must be enabled to practice farming systems that are resilient to long term climate change, biodiverse and that strengthen the ecosystems of which they are part. This form of agroecological smallholder farming and other forms of sustainable, ecological and climate resilient food production should be promoted. ? Climate policies that encompass agriculture must include safeguards that protect and promote biodiversity, equitable access to resources, food Security, the right to food, and the rights of indigenous peoples and local populations, while promoting poverty reduction and climate adaptation. ? Systems of biodiverse and resilient agriculture need to be developed, demonstrated, tested, and implemented to transform many currently unsustainable agricultural systems into ones that improve the health of ecosystems, communities, and cultures, even in the face of a changing climate. In the context of food Security and sovereignty threatened by climate change, re-establishing global principles for governance of fisheries is crucial, since depletion of fishing stocks, unsustainable fishing and overcapacity of world?s fishing fleet will soon impact upon food Security in addition to climate impacts on the marine ecosystem.

Wild bird fall migratory activity begins as early as mid-August. As birds get ready to fill the airways, backyards come alive. Flocks form. Birds leave. Others pass through. By early September, over-wintering birds are scouting areas for now ripening natural foods, and for backyard feeders they can rely on through the fall and winter months. Keeping feeders filled in early fall, though birds may not eat much at this time, is key to attracting them as the weather cools. If you live in an area where winter snows can suddenly cover natural food sources, your backyard feeders can become an overnight sensation.
Dietary Considerations
The diet of wild birds varies widely by species. They may eat any combination of insects, worms, seeds, fruits, or vegetables. Though seed is seldom the sole item in any bird's diet, it is by far the easiest to handle and most cost-effective form of nutrition you can supply. We recommend you offer
high-quality seed regularly, especially throughout the winter months, and then supplement with fresh fruits, which most birds seem particularly fond of when overripe, and vegetables as the season and your budget allow.
At the very time food becomes hard to get, cold weather increases the calorie requirements of birds. You can provide wild birds the nutrition they need at this time by offering seed mixes with a
high fat and energy content, and offering
suet, cakes of high-energy fat blended with seeds and nuts.
Feeder Choices
Seed can be thrown on the ground, or set on a stump or along a porch railing. This approach, however, will not keep the seed dry, or safe from scavengers like squirrels and mice. Snow and blowing leaves will quickly make scattered seed difficult, if not impossible, to find. For best results, you need to install a variety of
feeders at different heights and locations, to appeal to the tastes of birds common to your area.
The following feeders offer good protection for seed during cold, wet weather:
Tube feeders are cylindrical tubes with openings up and down the tube - perfect for Chickadees and Goldfinches. Tube feeders are a good choice for sunflower seeds.
Hopper feeders are bins that hold seeds that spill out of the bottom as the birds eat. Many birds will come to these - including larger birds like Blue Jays, Grackles, and Starlings. Squirrel proof designs are available. Hopper feeders are also a good choice for sunflower seeds.
Bowl feeders are hanging bowls that typically are covered by a dome to keep out the rain and snow.
Suet Feeders protect this high-energy food from predators inside a sturdy wire mesh.
Outdoor wild bird feeders can become breeding grounds for mold and disease, especially if neglected over the winter. Whichever style feeders you choose, be sure to shake them out thoroughly before re-filling. Remove any old, wet or moldy seeds and hulls. Use non-toxic Microbe-Lift Birdfeeder Cleaner for removing any bird droppings, organic debris, or mineral deposits that may be stuck on metal, plastic, vinyl, fiberglass, or poly-resin bird feeders. Also, when conditions are comfortably above freezing, disinfect feeders regularly with 1/4 cup bleach and 2 gallons of water, and rinse, then let dry before re-filling.
Sometimes water is harder to come by in winter than food. One of the best ways to get wild birds into your yard is to provide unfrozen water, replenished as needed. Install a
heater in your bird bath, or purchase a
heated bird bath with the warmer built in. These are thermostatically controlled to operate only when needed to keep the water just above 32 degrees. Because they do not actually heat the water, there is no danger birds will become dependent upon them as a heat source.
Become a Four-Season Feeder
Wild birds have successfully evolved for millennia without help from mankind. Because nature provides, they seldom go hungry. However, the food we provide certainly improves the quality of their life. Feeding also brings us closer together, enabling us to enjoy their animated, colorful and tuneful company. Once you begin feeding wild birds, they'll return again and again to your feeders and
waterers, so you'll want to keep them filled year-round.

Reviews for Hearty Taco Chili
"This is simple and my family really enjoys it. I use ground turkey in place of the beef. I also substituted 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes for the diced and skipped the blender thing. I also add a can of chicken broth as otherwise it is too dry and thick."
"Delicious! I love making ths chili. It's so flavorful and hearty. The only change I made was that I omitted the step using the blender and simply added the contents of the cans without blending them."
"Yum yum! I love chili and this mixes my love of Mexican food as well. It makes so much and is just tasty all around!"
"My teenage sons absolutely love this!!!"
"This is now my favorite chili recipe! I made a few modifications to spice it up a bit more - added chili pepper and more taco seasoning. I also did not blend the chili peppers as recommended."

We all know one of the easiest and most effective ways to upgrade your ride is by upgrading your wheelset. Wheelsets can speed up acceleration, drop weight, increase speed, and make you coast effortlessly. The question a lot of riders run into is whether to go with upgraded aluminum wheels, or make the switch to carbon. While there are inherent benefits of each, it really comes down to what you value in your riding. We are going to talk about some of the benefits associated with each, to put riders in a better position to make the best decision for their ride.
One of the most notable advantages of carbon rims is aerodynamics. Carbon rims will almost always outperform their aluminum counterparts in wind tunnel tests, and these aerodynamic advantages can make all the difference in long rides and race situations. For this reason, we offer three different rim depth options on the new Tommaso Corsa Wheel line, to best meet every riders aerodynamic and aesthetic needs.
Another clear advantage of the carbon rims is vibration reduction. As all riders know, more carbon on your bike translates directly to reduced vibrations due to the nature of the material. Carbon frames, forks, stems, and seatposts deliver a smoother ride through the reduction of road vibrations, as carbon dampens vibration much better than aluminum. This also applies (in a huge way) to carbon rims, and you definitely get a smoother ride out of a carbon wheelset than its aluminum counterpart. Which makes sense, considering your wheels are the first contact point with the pavement.
Up until now, we have only been looking at the advantages of carbon rims, but aluminum rims don't always come up second best. During harsh weather riding, such as rain or snow, aluminum rims have a clear advantage, as aluminum braking surfaces perform better when very wet. Carbon braking surfaces and brake pads tend to have somewhat decreased braking abilities in wet condition and need to be dry for optimal performance. On the other hand, aluminum milled braking surfaces work quite well across the board and offer consistent, reliable braking in all weather. Carbon rims have gotten significantly better in regards to braking over the years, so riders need not worry about being able to stop, but alloy rims still win this round.
While weight savings is an attribute people associate with carbon rims, this belief is more based in the fact that riders going to carbon are generally upgrading from a lower end aluminum rim. The thought that carbon rims automatically offer huge weight savings over aluminum rims is actually a widespread fallacy, and many times carbon rims and aluminum rims of the same level are only a few grams apart.
While sometimes weight savings may be less significant than one would think, there is one advantage that becomes immediately apparent to most riders, and that is acceleration. Carbon rims just seem to accelerate better, which can give you that edge when racing against friends, starting at that stoplight with cars behind you, or getting ready to climb that hill.
The final benefit of the carbon rims is the leap into aesthetic and auditory awesomeness. We all know carbon rims look sexy, turn heads, and can really make any bike look incredibly sleek and well equipped. Many riders, absolutely love the sound that carbon rims give when coasting, and it really let's others in your riding circle know that you upgraded (if that is something you care about). Honestly, they just sound and look great, which in a sport where aesthetics are more important than most cyclists care to admit out loud, is a benefit that just can't be ignored.
To those of us who have been riding for some time now and are quite familiar with the sport and what makes one bike better than another, carbon rims show money well spent. For example, an aluminum bike with a great component set and carbon rims will perform better than a lower level carbon frame with aluminum rims and lower end components, while costing the rider the same amount. Investing in your wheels is a move that will pay performance dividends to your riding for years to come.
Whether or not upgrading to carbon rims is worthwhile for you is a personal choice. Considering all of the above factors, as well as your budget, and really thinking about the type of riding you are looking to do is a great way to get started. The new Tommaso Corsa Carbon Rims are currently running at the unbeatable introductory price point of $500 for the holiday season, which for many riders makes the decision that much easier.
If you have been looking to make the upgrade to carbon rims, take advantage of the incredible half off holiday sale on these rims. This special promotion will only last through the end of the week, so don't miss out.
