Purple Ombre Baby Naming (15 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
Sugar Chic Designs was commissioned to create a modern, chic dessert-scape for a special baby naming celebration in honor of twins Sadie and Sacha. Their mom {Amy Lefton} chose a purple ombre color palette so my graphic designer, Abby Barnett of Flair Designery, created a gorgeous printables design featuring their shared first letter of their names "S" - Abby gave the "S" a modern look and filled in 2 "twin" triangles with her purple ombre design.
The dessert scape followed suit as we dressed the table with candies in elegant shades of purple, lavendar and lilac. The candies were complimented by custom made treats designed to match the occassion. Nicole Greene of Truffle Truffle www.TruffleTruffle.com created adorable heart shaped chocolate chip cookies that fit perfectly into shot glasses of milk. She also created peach caramel petit pies with a custom S cutout!
Kelly Siebens of LillyCakes www.Lilycakes1.com created custom ombre jello shooters
and Andrea Jia Yin Morris of CocoMori www.ShopCocoMori.com created custom brownie pops in our palette that we inspired by a photo Lefton gushed over!

Following up on last week's review of the Crunky Purple Potato Chocolate, today's another variation of the Crunky bar that I haven't seen before: Strawberry cheese tart. The package is gorgeous with it's pink background and bright, saturated red strawberries. Crunky is a jumbled engrish name which I think mixes "Chocolate" of "Chunky" or "Crunchy". Or maybe they tried for "Crunchy" and screwed it up. It's hard to say. But it sure is amusing.
This Crunky bar is a pretty light pink color. The crisps are easily visible and you also see little red flecks of strawberry pieces. It smells sweet of that "Japanese strawberry flavor" that's this interesting mix of fruity/bubble gum/floral flavors. It comes across as playful and fruity.
The taste starts of sweet and…. tasting like cream cheese. There's a very distinct cheesy note to it. Then you get the Japanese strawberry flavor that starts off very fruity and leave a hint of flowers in your mouth. It's very nice. The texture of the crisps makes the bar's texture much more interesting for sure. The bar doesn't come across too sweet, but it's not bizarre at all, especially if you're have strawberry flavored Japanese candies before. I liked it, especially since the cheesiness of it added a new level of depth to the flavor.
So this candy was pretty accurate in regard to it's flavor description! Yummy and unique, if you come across it it's a nice change from a normal candy bar.

MP C300HW and MP C300HT help offices, departments and clinics address their unique information management challenges
Malvern, PA, April 17, 2013 - Ricoh Americas Corporation today extended its line of multifunction products (MFPs) engineered specifically for healthcare by unveiling the versatile MP C300HW and MP C300HT.These color MFPs, which print/copy at 32 pages per minute, help healthcare organizations improve outcomes amid rising costs, changing legislation, security risks and provider consolidation. They complement the healthcare MFPs and printers Ricoh announced in March at HIMSS 2013."These MFPs are designed specifically to provide the features, attributes and performance that our healthcare clients require to meet their toughest information management challenges," said Dominic Pontrelli, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Ricoh Americas Corporation. "We've learned over decades of experience working with these clients that they need business information solutions that are flexible, easy to use, efficient, customizable and secure across the entire continuum of care."Users of the MP C300HW and MP C300HT can scan records directly to the customer's secure email systems, folders, FTP sites, document servers and archives. Like its siblings in the Ricoh line of MFPs engineered specifically for healthcare, the MP C300HW enables healthcare organizations to print patient wristbands from electronic medical records without the need for expensive single-purpose thermal printers or extensive configuration. Wristbands today carry an increasing wealth of clinical information, including barcodes, color-coded alerts, patient photos and more. The MP C300HW reduces the typical cost of wristband production by handling media as narrow as 3.25 inches, reducing consumption of expensive wristband stock. New Teflon-coated paper trays in the MP C300HW and MP C300HT easily accommodate the wristband stock as well as other specialty papers (e.g., prescription paper). The trays' coating minimizes misfeeds for efficient, uninterrupted print runs. The MP C300HW and MP C300HT also help organizations address their HIPAA compliance and privacy requirements through standard features such as: • Locked Print Technology, which holds documents until an authorized user provides credentials such as a password. • Hard Drive Encryption, which encrypts address books, passwords and certain data stored on the device. • And the DataOverWriteSecuritySystem (DOSS), which protects valuable information by overwriting digital images on the hard drive. SpecificationsThe MP C300HW and MP C300HT print paper up to 8.5 inches by 14 inches at a resolution of up to 1200 x 1200 dpi. They include optional faxing and a standard Java VM card that enables customers to easily add on Ricoh and third-party applications to gain powerful new capabilities.The MFPs are available now at an MSRP of $6,570 for the MP C300HW and $6,260 for the MP C300HT, the main difference being the MP C300HW's wristband printing capability.

Whether your journey is gay or straight, walking between the Christian and gay worlds, initially, is not the most comfortable of journeys. Even on the current world stage we have on the one hand President Obama who brings a hopeful new voice encouraging others to 'embrace our gay brothers and sisters', inviting Gene Robinson, the first openly gay consecrated bishop in the Episcopal Church, to pray at an inaugural ceremony and on the other hand Pope Benedict XVI declaring that saving humanity from homosexuality was just as important as saving the rainforest from destruction; and opposing a UN declaration "calling for an end to the practice of criminalizing and punishing people for their sexual orientation." In other words, the Vatican agrees with the idea that homosexuality should be made illegal and gays be punished. Pink triangles anyone?
Resilient to the regularity of anti-gay rhetoric, the gay community has heard the new, ever growing, Christian voices questioning theological tradition and embracing the true message of 'love one another'. Such as the '100 Revs', a group of ministers, reverends and pastors from a variety of denominations, apologizing to the gay community for the lack of welcome in the church.. Who, with the possibility of losing their jobs, bravely marched at the Mardi Gras parade and won the award for the most outstanding political statement.
This exhibition documents the extraordinary stories of some who walk confidently and comfortably between those two worlds, as told in their own words. Thank you to all who took part in this project and willingness to share, sometimes difficult, parts of their lives. Be prepared to be inspired by these people who are not willing to merely tolerate, but rather, celebrate diversity.

One flown by AirCare after accident
Published: Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 5:52 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 5:52 p.m.
One person was flown by AirCare to a hospital after an accident Wednesday afternoon on U.S. Highway 64 West at Rowe Road, according to emergency traffic.
The accident was reported about 5 p.m. Firefighters with the Reeds Volunteer Fire Department were on the scene and troopers with the N.C. Highway Patrol were investigating the crash, a spokesman with the Davidson County 911 Center said.
The 911 spokesman did not know how many vehicles were involved but confirmed one patient was transported by AirCare.

Reviews for Hot Buttered Rum
"I've made this many times. I use apple cider instead of the water. It is a great warmer upper when sitting around a campfire."
"This Hot Buttered Rum is a nice treat for Fall & Winter. I made this recipe for the first time this Christmas. My family loved it. I recommend this recipe!"
"This is a great recipe. Have made it several times since originally came out in the dec/Jan 2011 issue of TOH... I make this at the start of the cool winter months, and a batch lasts my husband and I all winter long. It's quick and easy to throw together on those cool winter nights, the batter keeps well. I highly recommend this recipe"
"This is an amazing recipe. It's worth getting fat for. Actually I used reduced fat ice cream and a bit less than the recipe called for, plus I used a bit less mix per prepared drink, and it was perfect. I intend to make this frequently during the cooler months!"
"Sorry. Also might use a lower calorie ice cream or frozen yogurt to drop the calories a little."

UNITAR New York Office collaborates with IBM in Rio to enhance knowledge and expertise in forging sustainable cities
18 Jun 2012 - 19 Jun 2012The United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) New York Office extends the Rio Preparation Forum series from New York to Rio to collaborate with International Business Machines (IBM) for two intensive workshops on sustainable cities during Rio+20.
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
As powerful centers of a complex society, cities must be sustainable. Urban areas, however, face challenges as well as great possibilities - providing the home for over half the world?s population and producing close to three quarters of the world?s GDP. Their lure and capacity to serve as an engine for economic growth foster not only the advantages but also the stress of globalization, population growth and migration. Furthermore, as centers for population and development, cities must address the consequences of environmental degradation including climate change; and, social inequalities, including poverty and unemployment. It is no wonder that the United Nations Secretary-General claimed that ?sustainable cities are crucial to our future well-being.?
To this end, the UNITAR New York Office will hold two half-day parallel event workshops in collaboration with IBM during the lead up to the United Nations Conference in Rio de Janeiro on 18-19 June. The workshops? agenda will draw upon the expertise from the United Nations?including the Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA), the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)?as well as top IBM Smarter Cities subject matter experts.
The workshops will be especially important for city leaders, regional planners, economic development professionals, finance administrators and national government leaders that are focused on ensuring the economic, social, and environmental sustainability of their urban centers. Also, other organizations focusing on population, the environment, and urban development will be welcome.
We welcome you to contact the UNITAR New York Office regarding potential attendees from your delegations. Please note that participation requires a priori liaising with the UNITAR New York Office by 10 June, and only those participants who have pre-registered can attend (email@example.com, Tel (212) 963-9683). In order to foster small group dialogue and learning, attendance at each event will be capped at 40 participants.

This is last weeks "Latest Project" and is almost complete, just need door and window gaskets and finish up one window and put on wider tires then she'll be all done and ready to go. I buttoned it up real well so I can use it like a "mini camper " too for week-end trips if I want to. It will pull triple duty as a blind, overnight camper, and warming shack for ice fishing with larger groups or for tip-up fishing. Hopefully this will help sense I seem to be having a bit harder a time getting around each year, that fall really kicked my ass and is dragging me down more each year!
Now,,,,I'm trying to hook up with the Wounded Warrior project, DAV, and the local Am. Legion posts to see if there is any interest in having me set it up for disabled vet hunters for deer season. Just got to find a place for it and see if there is an interest by anyone in getting this deal off the ground. Hope so. I'd like to do this for my brothers if possible and I'd like to be able to give them the opportunity to be able hunt again. I know how much I miss hunting like I used to, so maybe I can give back some by trying to get something like this going locally for my brother vets. I think it's a good cause myself,,plus,,,what to hell else am I going to do to keep myself outa mischief nowadays? Pretty much all I do now is 4-wheeler around, hunt, fish and work on the Buick and go to car shows, so I need as much as possible going on so I don't just shrivel up and fade away, taking it easy sure don't work well, I'm worse off by doing so, I'd rather stay active.
Here's the new blind/overnighter camper,,,,,whatever,,,99% done

The focus of my research is to enhance our understanding of the role of astrocytes in brain and spinal cord function. Astrocytes are the most numerous cells in the central nervous system yet the role of astrocytes in neurodevelopmental disorders and injury, particularly pediatric injury, is highly understudied.
My work focuses on two essential functions of astrocytes; buffering of extracellular K+ and glutamate. These functions are thought to be largely mediated by two astrocytic proteins, Kir4.1, an inwardly rectifying potassium channel and excitatory amino acid transporter, GLT-1. These two proteins function to dampen neuronal excitability. Following injury, persistent alterations in the biophysical properties of astrocytes hinder their ability to perform these basic altruistic functions. The resulting dysregulation of extracellular K+ and glutamate are associated with increased neuronal excitability and changes in synaptic physiology and plasticity in the adult. In the developing central nervous system, loss of these functions may profoundly impact neuronal development. Surprisingly, little is known regarding the regulation of either protein in the normal developing brain, following injury or during abnormal development.
Our current research projects span from understanding how Kir4.1 and GLT-1 transcription and translation are being regulated during normal development, to how each is maintained in the adult brain and understanding changes in this regulation in pathological conditions. We are particularly interested in how reduced extracellular K+ and glutamate regulation in the immature brain impacts neuronal development. To do this work requires a multitude of techniques. To study protein expression we employ functional assays such as electrophysiology and glutamate uptake assays, in addition to protein biochemistry. Confocal and wide field fluorescent microscopy is used to visualize and localize protein in brain slices and in cultured cells. Quantitative PCR is used to examine transcript levels and we are currently implementing epigenetic techniques to investigate mechanisms of transcriptional regulation. To perform these experiments we utilize tissue derived from several animal models, primary astrocyte and neuron cultures and human autopsy and surgical resection tissue.

ZF-9140: Zend_File_Transfer_Adapter_Abstract compares variable $file to null whilst it is never null and always an array
In the Zend_File_Transfer_Adapter_Abstract class the function setOptions evaluates if the variable $file is equal to null (which it retrieves from the _getFiles function). However the value returned fron _getFiles is always an array, so this statement is always inherently false.
This hampered me severely in my attempts to upload a file with the magicFile set. I "fixed" it by checking if the sizeof the variable was larger than 0 or not...

I've been asked to write about some of my images on display in the Rock Hall's ACL exhibit. It is a pleasure to do so; photographing performing musicians, it appears, has become my life's work, and I have a lot to say. This is my 32nd year as ACL's official staff photographer, and the performers I've seen are many, the types of music various and varied.
But always, to my way of seeing, the task is the same: to convey the spirit that motivates the performing artist; to slice away the extraneous and come up with an image that conveys as much as possible of what the experience was like, who the performer was, and what the energy and essence were like, on our stage, during the performance. All of this with one final image, rendered into two dimensions of height and breadth, and unlike video, without the benefit of time and moving images. Oh, and most importantly, to come up with a good likeness that the artist and his management will approve of.
This is how I approach my job: first, Music is the sound the Muses make. My belief is that there's more to a performance, and a performing artist, than a person standing onstage singing songs he's written. There's something almost divine about a beautifully performed and delivered song. The ancient Greeks, in fact, believed that something very close to supernatural took place during performance; their belief was that performers summoned a creative spirit known as a daimon, and that the performer himself was a conduit, or channel, from that spirit to the audience. I think there's some truth to that. I've seen performers who seem to be perfectly ordinary people take everyone and everything in the room, weld them all together on some level, and bring everyone to the same inspired place. Music can dissolve the separation between beings, and even between bodies as they dance together. Great music is the sound of spirit made manifest, in the individual, and in the group.
Enough cosmic philosophy, let's talk about specific images.
Here's a shot of the Dave Matthews Band, in performance at ACL in 2009. It works as an example of a two-dimensional image conveying an experience, which is my goal. I'm using a technique of laying down components of the image in layers, to convey an illusion of depth. Let's count the layers: in the foreground are the black outlines of video cameras, angling in, setting the context of a video-taped performance. Next is the stage itself, with its parallel lines drawing lines of perspective from front to back, the stage is a large receding diagonal plane, compositionally, drawing the viewer in. Then comes the energetic shadow of the main figure, literally grounding Dave Matthews. Next comes our point of focus, in action, singing and framed by his band members, who are the next layer of depth. Finally, in the background comes the drum riser, drums, and the Austin skyline set itself, washed in deep hazy beams of light. As an added bonus, we get the yellow light explosion on the extreme left of the photograph surrounding the hand-held cameraman, further defining context. The image has depth, action, and you can almost actually hear the music.
This image of Ray Charles from 1983 illustrates the importance of The Decisive Moment in performance portraiture. Ray was a very energetic performer, sometimes mugging and self-hugging, like he didn't know what he looked like. He used the idea that he didn't know what he looked like to get very exaggerated with his body as he danced to make the spirit moving through him visible to everyone. Crazy like a fox, that Ray Charles. I remember being very impressed with the agility, power, and dance skill he displayed all while playing and singing simultaneously. Then, while I was out of position, I saw him briefly arch his back and stomp his foot, singing triumphantly, and do what you see, visually encapsulating all that he was and what he was doing. I got in position and waited for him to do it again. I still remember that click as if it were today.
This image of REM illustrates what I try to do when shooting a band, as opposed to photographing an individual. When I'm crafting a band-shot I try to see all the members as one organic whole, connected by invisible strings of music. As photographer, you have to be aware of everyone, and it helps if you can feel the beat they're moving to so you can anticipate exactly when that decisive moment will come…. There's an art to it. I try to take occasional breaks and do little dances to get in synch, but that's me…
The best portrait will give you a glimpse into who that performer is and what her performance was like, even if she's not singing. This beautiful between-songs candid of Bonnie Raitt gives one a lot to chew on. Her bliss is obvious; after all, the audience loves her and her song. The moment is in-between, fleeting, unposed and revealing. She looks fragile and immortal, all at the same time.
John Fogerty is a ball of energy and fire. To me, it's like his spirit is just too big for his body when he's performing. The music is amazing, and then he starts bounding up and down while belting it out. So, I looked for a moment where he was literally coming out of the top of the frame and, click, there he is, pushing the edge of the envelope.
These are just 5 examples of the photographs on display at the Rock Hall in the ACL Exhibit. Come look at the rest!

Today's public fleets are facing mandates to go "green" and operate more efficiently than ever, for both economic and environmental reasons. Managers can benefit from adopting policies and practices that reduce fuel consumption, improve fleet efficiency, and lessen the overall environmental impact of fleet operations.
Developing a green fleet plan is the place to start. Here's how:
Ask yourself why a green fleet is important to your agency. What do you hope to accomplish? Use your answers to articulate a goal, and have it endorsed at the highest level possible within your organization. Whether it's a policy statement, a resolution, or a simple memo, influential buy-in will be important to your success.
What is your annual budget, including vehicle purchases, fuel, maintenance, and labor? What are your fixed vs. variable costs? You should know what funds are available to finance your green fleet plan.
Take stock of your fleet: Evaluate the number, type, age, and purpose of all vehicles and equipment. This baseline information will identify opportunities for improvement. For example, are all vehicles being used to their fullest potential? Would route planning improve efficiency?
Set objectives. If your goals are to conserve fuel and reduce air pollution, what tactics could you employ?
Look into practical options for achieving your fleet's goals. What is the cost of implementing each option, and how quickly will you see a return on investment? What are the potential environmental benefits?
Also consider potential risks, and ways you could mitigate them. Lastly, prioritize your options. Which are most important, and why?
The U.S. Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels and Advanced Vehicles Data Center offers many helpful evaluation tools at www.afdc.energy.gov.
Once you've mapped out options for fulfilling your goals, document how you're going to make it all happen. Include a time-line, describe key responsibilities (and the person/department accountable), and list measurable outcomes.
Things change — technology, political environment, the economy — and your green fleet plan should adapt to the changing world in which you operate.

Concentration Requirements
As part of the 16 units of qualifying courses, each student in the IP Concentration must complete a capstone or experiential course. This may consist of an externship in a related industry or advocacy placement, or an IP-related moot court, colloquium or skills course. Students with work experience in IP, that otherwise would be duplicated by an experiential course, may waive out of the requirement upon approval by the Concentration adviser.
- To be eligible to take the patent bar (required for practice before the Patent Office) a student must typically have a degree (or minimum coursework) in science or engineering. However, no technical background is needed for other areas of patent law such as patent litigation or transactional work. Find more details here.
- To qualify for a waiver, work experience that is not part of the Loyola curriculum requires faculty supervision as an externship. Unit credit will not be awarded for work experience.
All concentration students must also complete an IP Research Component before graduation. The requirement may be fulfilled either by: a) taking Advanced Legal Research, which will be customized for IP research, or b) going through the online videos and research exercises that have been specially developed for IP concentration students. Students who select option a) will receive academic credit (2 units) for the course, but these units do not count toward the 16 required units for the concentration. Option b) does not provide academic credit, but should take no more than 6-8 hours to complete and can be completed at your convenience.
Required and Qualifying Courses1
A minimum of 16 units in qualifying courses is required for completion of the IP Concentration. Students must take the minimum number of units noted in each category below. Units taken beyond the maximum for the category will not count for concentration purposes, although they will count toward the JD degree. Only some of these courses satisfy the Patent and Technology Sub-Concentrationii. Courses in italics and other qualifying courses may be offered in future years.

Athlete Picks
Hand-picked favorites from our sponsored team of professional athletes.
Efficiently designed to deliver reliable warmth in zero-degree weather, this premier mummy bag is now crafted with water-resistant 650-fill ProDown™ and delivers incredible warmth without weight. ProDown™ is a natural down insulation with a water-resistant finish that absorbs less water and dries faster than traditional down to keep you warmer in cold, wet conditions. Constructed with anti-compression pads that are body mapped to protect the areas where your body makes the most contact with the ground and create an insulating buffer. Women-specific fit and design places more insulation around the chest and feet for optimal warmth.
Using only the highest quality goose down in all of our products, The North Face® tests each lot of down at three stages of production for loftiness, moisture resistance and ability to regain loft after compression.
The fill power of goose down is an indicator of two important features: warmth-to-weight ratio and compressibility, both critical to retain warmth and furnish comfort. True fill power is measured by placing one ounce of goose down in a graduated cylinder and measuring the volume the down occupies in cubic inches. The North Face® products are insulated with exclusive, high-fill power goose down ranging from 550 to 900 fill, which represents the highest quality down commercially available.

Warm Welcome
THE SETTING Highland Park Village has become a designer paradise, and its proprietors are celebrating the induction of Alexander McQueen to the venerable collection. A cocktail reception, with Cindy Rachofsky playing hostess and proceeds benefitting TWO x TWO for AIDS and Art, was a perfectly understated welcome. THE SCENE Just kidding; there is nothing understated about McQueen—guests enjoyed Champagne and bite-sized appetizers in the boutique among smashed marble, lacquered linen, white -rubbed Gesso and blush-pink glass lighting as they admired dragonfly emblazoned pieces from the spring 2013 ready-to-wear collection. THE CROWD The McQueen-loving crowd included Elaine Agather, Gonzalo Bueno and Michael McCray, Jennifer Clark, Claire Emanuelson, party guru Todd Fiscus, Muffin Lemak, Catherine MacMahon, Chuck Steelman, Stephen and Elisa Summers, Shelby Wagner, Christen Wilson and other well-dressed Dallas shoppers.

PCC in the News
News: Men's Soccer Offense Can't Finish In 1-1 Tie v. LBCC
The Pasadena City College men's soccer team totaled 17 shots and had no less than 10 quality scoring chances, but the Lancers had to settle for a 1-1, South Coast Conference tie against Long Beach City College Tuesday at Robinson Stadium.
The Lancers (1-7-2 overall, 1-1-1 in conference play) played without head coach Edgar Manvelyan, who was serving a 1-game suspension after being red-carded during PCC's 3-0 loss at East Los Angeles College Sept. 28. With associate head coach Henry Cabral and assistant Alonzo Lopez in charge, PCC mounted an aggressive offensive attack against the visiting Vikings.
The game remained scoreless until the 68th minute when Zachary Larson deked his way past two defenders and fired in his team-leading fourth goal of the season. Long Beach (4-4-2, 1-0-2 in conference) fought back and tied it with 14 minutes left in the game on a hard shot by Manuel Larios following a throw-in by Jon-Eric Krans.
Pasadena can look back at a number of chances, including one in the 20th minute when Vahagn Manoyan got free through the box on a pass by Luis Flores, but his short attempt for the far right corner trickled wide. Earlier in the ninth minute, Michael Alcaraz fired a shot from 12 yards out that just missed wide. In the 12th minute, Hector Trujillo's free kick from 41 yards out hit the inside post on the fly. In the 31st minute, Larson was stopped by LBCC goalie Jorge Becerra on a breakaway attempt. Six minutes later, Flores made a difficult header attempt that Long Beach's Krans headed straight up and over the cage while standing at the goal-line.
In the 52nd minute, Irving Rosales drove a hard attempt that Becerra made a leaping save. With eight minutes left in the match, Becerra confronted Larson who again got free in the goalie box only to have Becerra put out his right hand to bat down Larson's right-footed chip. Becerra had eight saves overall.
PCC's scoring issues have resulted in an average of just one goal per game (10 goals in 10 matches). The Lancers have outshot their opponents, however, in eight of their matches.
The Lancers' defense looked strong against Long Beach thanks to sterling play by defenders Elio Anguiano and Alcaraz. Trujillo and Victor Menchaca, both midfielders, also played well on both sides of the field. PCC goalie Alex Radillo made five saves.

So recently there have been discussions regarding the ordering of troops to turn their guns on the people of the United States. So I wrote this is the Poll Thread and decided to repost here just to get my opinion about it here as to not clog up the other thread if there are comments or questions.
My opinion and how I got to it.
While I know there will be some who are willing to do it (even in the military turds fall through the cracks it isn't just the federal government) I think the majority would not.
With many of us being veterans the last thing we want is to turn our muzzles in the other direction. I do, however, see changes in the mentality in the military regarding those of us who have served overseas. It is becoming harder and harder for us to stay in. That being said though I do not feel the Majority of service members would have a warm and fuzzy of such an order. Yes there are mindless drones in the Military, but I do not think they would be willing to carry out such an act on say... their own families or hometowns, nor would they stand by while another unit did so.
Another point to make is doing so would be a violation of nearly every amendment in the Bill of Rights which is part of the Constitution we swore to uphold and defend. Any order to violate our oath would be, by definition, an unlawful order which does not fall in our duty to undertake as according to the Uniform Code of Military justice which must be abided by when giving an order. (Section 3331, Title 5, United States Code)(also covers the Oath of Commission)
As enlisted your oath is a little different as it includes a statute to only follow lawful orders and it is your duty and right to deny following orders which are unlawful or go against the Constitution of the United States of America
Uniform Code of Military Justice 809.ART.90 (20), makes it clear that military personnel need to obey the "lawful command of his superior officer," 891.ART.91 (2), the "lawful order of a warrant officer", 892.ART.92 (1) the "lawful general order", 892.ART.92 (2) "lawful order".
In each case, military personnel have an obligation and a duty to only obey Lawful orders and indeed have an obligation to disobey Unlawful orders, including orders by the president that do not comply with the UCMJ. The moral and legal obligation is to the U.S. Constitution and not to those who would issue unlawful orders, especially if those orders are in direct violation of the Constitution and the UCMJ.
So in order to dawn the uniform in service to the United States you are duty bound to not comply with any orders which run contrary to the Human Rights defined in writing in the Constitution. Doing so would be a violation of law and your oath of enlistment/commision (i.e. high treason) punishable by... you guessed it.
1.The crime of betraying one's country, esp. by attempting to kill the sovereign or overthrow the government.
2.The action of betraying someone or something.
In the case of the United States the Government is the PEOPLE.
So in short... No Way they would follow such an order.

ZF-6022: testRound(Zend_Locale_MathTest) unit tests failure (bcmath is disabled)
{panel} 1) testRound(Zend_Locale_MathTest) Failed asserting that
Problem is actually caused by nature of floating point arithmetic: round(1241757, -3) != 1242000
that's caused by floating point numbers internal representation. Even (string)round(1241757, -3) returns '1242000', round(1241757, -3) is not equal to 1242000.
Test this:
// returns -2.3283064365387E-10
echo round(1241757, -3) - 1242000;
Alex: I am confused. How is it possible that this failure exists now and not before ?
The only one who made changes to Zend_Locale_Math was you (without informing me). And this test exist without changes since more than one year.
I've just added new environment for testing: Ubuntu server with Zend Server installation, so it differs from environment I used before (and also still using now in addition to this new).
Zend Server has bcmath extension disabled. that also may affect result.
But actualy the core of the problem is in the fact that it's not correct to compare floats using comparison operator. Internal floats representation and operations results may vary depending on syste/php version.
Ok... the problem is not the calculation... it is correct.
According to the changed environment, Ubuntu does a automatic conversion from string to double when the value is small enough. This could also effect 64bit environments.
Still, as the calculation returns the same result, only the test is not correct. Instead of Equal, Same or Contain should be used.
I think some form of abs($expected - $actual) < $delta should be used there.
With some of the last releases of phpunit a delta was added to equals for environment independent float testing. I added it with r14308 and it works under my environments.
Please check for yours.
Closing due to non-negative response

ok, so here's an oldie-but-goodie for the Xmas, winter-weather season... what colour was Lee Marvin's shirt in "The Wild One" ?
Hunter Thompson quotes it as being blue-and-yellow. I've also seen it described as having appeared on a studio poster in red-and-white. Jack Nicholson wore black-and-white striped trousers in one of his "biker" roles, which are probably intended to be taken as prison trousers ( do you get released from American prisons in your prison clothes? )
Now, blue-and-yellow would be typical for something intended to appear as black-and-white in a monochrome film - nurses' uniforms from "Emergency Ward 10" were actually brown-and -ellow, for example.. Re-and-white would be a typical "colourisation" of a monochrome print bearing no necessary resemblance to the original colours - there is a pic from "The Wild One" featuring Bruce Dern and Peter Fonda which has been colourised with red and yellow tints, knocking around the internet.
Interestingly enough, one of the other riders in that picture is wearing a black-and-white sleeveless t-shirt or crew shirt, or at least it LOOKS black-and-white in monochrome.. which is where we came in...

Reporting from war zones in Bosnia, Kuwait, Afghanistan and Sierra Leone, covering disasters in Bangladesh, massacres in Rwanda and the siege of the Iranian embassy in London? Just part of the job for Kate Adie.
The BBC's first chief news correspondent has traveled the globe, entering extremely dangerous situations, in delivering the news for 40 years. So doing, she has helped pave the way for female journalists worldwide.
Adie, 66, is being honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award by the International Women's Media Foundation at the group's 2011 Courage in Journalism Awards recognizing those who risk their lives to cover the news. Two events are slated, for October 24 in Los Angeles and October 27 in New York.
Reuters' Iran bureau chief Parisa Hafezi, online newspaper director Chiranuch Premchaiporn of Thailand and editor Adela Navarro Bello of Mexico's Zeta newsmagazine will receive awards as well.
Now a BBC presenter, Adie is the author of Corsets to Camouflage, a history of women in wartime, and Nobody's Child, a book about her adoption. She's won a slew of awards, including three Royal Television Society News Awards, the Broadcasting Press Guild's Award for Outstanding Contribution to Broadcasting, and the Bafta Richard Dimbleby Award, and has been appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire. She's also an honorary professor of journalism at the University of Sunderland and an honorary fellow of Royal Holloway, University of London.
We recently spoke with Adie about how she fell into journalism and war coverage, how she has dealt with danger at the front lines, and the advice she has for women starting out in the field. An edited version of the interview follows.
More: Congratulations on the award.
Kate Adie: Well, thank you very much indeed. It was, gosh, quite a surprise.
More: It shouldn't be! You've had an incredible career. When you decided to go into journalism, did you think you'd be covering wars?
KA: Well, I didn't ever decide to go into journalism. I had a rather sort of strange route into things.
More: So it was a happy accident?
KA: I had no idea what I wanted to do. I had a university degree, but not exactly the most job-worthy one—I have a degree in ancient Icelandic and Scandinavian studies. And therefore, I needed a job. Just sort of by sheer coincidence, the BBC was starting a local radio [network]—we were rather slow off the mark, I suppose, but this was 40 years ago. …One of the news stations turned out to be in my home area in northeast England, so I sort of begged to join and managed to squeeze in on the bottom rung. I spent seven years working in radio as a producer and a technician and not in the news in any way. And I only gradually fell into it over the next few years.
So, I can't ever claim to have desired to have been a journalist, I'm afraid. …These things, you don't exactly choose them, but along they come.
More: How did you move into reporting on wars and conflicts?
KA: I don't think any of us working in a national newsroom in London at the BBC ever thought of it as any different kind of journalism. It just—the phrase I would always use was, it just comes with the turf. You find yourself doing everything from famines to volcanic eruptions, assassinations, terrorism, and at the same time doing economic stories and sports stories. Conflict is just another strand. There's no suggestion that anybody specializes in war reporting—you just end up doing that kind of thing because it comes with the turf.
More: Did you find yourself being sent off on these big stories more and more often?

Mayor Williams Attends U.S. Conference of Mayors' 81st Annual Winter Session in Washington D.C.
Posted on 01/22/2013 2:04 pm
(Wilmington, DE) - The United States Conference of Mayors (USCM) is the official non-partisan organization of cities with populations of 30,000 or more. There are 1,295 such cities in the country today. Each city is represented in the Conference by its chief elected official, the mayor.
Mayor Williams attended the conference with the purpose of strengthening federal-city relationships; to learn different leadership and management techniques; and to network and connect with mayors from different areas of the country.
"This conference was incredibly helpful," said Mayor Williams. "It's important to have the opportunity to sit and talk with other mayors and share ideas. Talk about what works and what doesn't work."
Mayor Williams worked with local mayors including Michael Nutter of Philadelphia; Linda Thompson of Harrisburg; and John Linder of Chester to discuss the issues of gun violence and public safety.

On Thursday, Nov. 29, the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site will observe the 148th anniversary of the Sand Creek Massacre with a sunrise program at the site. The event will honor LaForce (Lee) Lonebear or Hawk Walking. Lonebear passed away Sept. 8, 2011.
Lee's compassion for those who suffered during the massacre led him to become an active supporter and participant in the annual Sand Creek Massacre Spiritual Healing Run as well as a member of the Northern Cheyenne Sand Creek Committee. Mr. Lonebear was among those who spoke at congressional hearings which preceded the official authorization of the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site.
Mr. Lonebear's commitment to Cheyenne traditions was reflected by his status as a Sundance Priest, Medicine Arrow Priest, and Piercing Man. Lee's strong ties to Cheyenne ways can be traced his great-great-grandfather, Cheyenne Chief White Antelope, who was killed at the Sand Creek Massacre.
The sunrise event will also provide a brief historic background to Chief White Antelope. The Chief was among the most influential men on Colorado plains when he died.
The event, which is also commemorating American Indian Heritage Month, will begin at 7 a.m. All activities will be held near the stone monument at the site's overlook area.
For additional information, contact the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site at (719) 438-5916 or (719) 729-3003.

Sorry, but it seems like such a guy thing: The weather gets hot and all the men want to cook outside. The women home cooks I know are thinking chicken salad and chilled soups; the guys are firing up the grill and cooking pork butt for hours.
I know, this is totally politically incorrect, gender-biased and unacceptable–just remember, a blog is just one person's observations and opinions.
Anyway, chefs are people, too, and usually men, and many of them are thinking BBQ right now.
Like, Cafe Trio Cottonwood is teaming up with Squatters and Wasatch Breweries for a pairing of beer and barbecue on the patio at Cafe Trio in Cottonwood. The brewers' line-up of summertime drafts will be paired with grilled food and live music on Sunday, Junen 24, from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. It's $50 a person; Call 801-944-8746 to reserve your space.
(Note: Right now, I won't go into the usual Texas rant about the difference between grilling and barbecue, but you'll probably hear it before the summer's over.)
Over at Oasis (151 S.500 East)–remember, NOT a vegetarian restaurant–Chef Billy Sotelo has been serving $25 prix fixe special specials all month long. The menu includes his amazing watermelon salad or gazpacho, a dessert and an entree of dry rub crusted flank steak with baked calypso beans. Call 801-322-0404.
Want to do it yourself at home? Check out Sotelo's recipe for barbecue sauce at the bottom of this blog. Temptation note: This recipe starts with bacon.
Canyons Resort starts its Friday night Beats & BBQ series on July 13; it will run through August 31.
And starting on Tuesday, July 17, Stein Eriksen Lodge Deer Valley will kick off a series of weekly craft beer and barbecue (yes, Stein spells it with a "q") tastings. Each evening features a beer sampling paired with Chef Zane Holmquist's barbecue, followed by a free concert at 6:00 p.m. the fun (that is, the beer tasting) starts at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesdays. Cost is $30 in advance, $35 at the event; $125 for a series pass. Call 435-645-6455. Here's the line-up:
• Tuesday, July 17: Wasatch Brewery & Motherload Canyon Band
• Tuesday, July 24: Epic Brewing & Holy Water Buffalo
• Tuesday, July 31: Uinta Brewing & Swagger
• Tuesday, August 7: RedRock Brewery & Mister Sister
• Tuesday, August 14: Squatters Brewing Company & Jagertown
And here's Oasis and Faustina Executive Chef Billy Sotelo's Barbecue Sauce:
Bacon (diced): 1 cup
Onion (diced): 1
Garlic (minced):1 Tbsp.
Black Pepper: 1/2 Tbsp.
Mustard Seed: 1 Tbsp.
Chili Powder: 1 Tbsp.
Tabasco: 1 Tbsp.
Tamarind Paste: 1 Tbsp.
Worcestershire Sauce: 2 Tbsp.
Onion Powder: 1 Tbsp.
Cumin (ground): Pinch to taste
Salt: 1 Tbsp.
Orange Juice: 1 Cup
Catsup: 3 Cups Lime Juice: 1/4 Cup
Cider Vinegar: 1/2 Cup
Brown Sugar: 1/4 Cup
Dark Beer: 6 oz.
Molasses: 1 Cup
Render bacon fat in pot. Add onions and cook until brown. Add garlic and cook until it starts to brown. Add spices and stir together. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil . Reduce to a simmer and allow to simmer for 30 minutes. When cool, blend till smooth. This will make enough sauce for a large BBQ party. When using BBQ sauce as a marinade, always discard marinade after use, and use fresh sauce for basting.
