Reviews for Double Peanut Butter Cake
"I am not sure what everyone did to have such a dense cake. Mine is in the oven now and has at least doubled already! So far it look like it is going to be a very light cake. I have doubled the cake part and made in 2 square pans. And made a single batch of frosting to split between them because we dont do much frosting. I will come back soon and add comments after my family has dessert tonight. I can say I took the time to sift the flour bakibg powder and salt befor adding it to the batter."
"Cake was very dry & course, however, frosting was excellent!"
"this is very good my friends really enjoyed the flavor that it gave"
"I can't believe this recipe is a taste of home. This cake is horrible, it's so heavy I could use it as a door stop and the flavor... Pure flour. I couldn't figure out why we needed so much frosting for such a small cake. It's used to cover the flavor of the cake. VERY disappointed."
"Sadly disappointed...tasted like flour, maybe it was because I used whole wheat flour. I have made cookies with whole wheat flour and the cookies were great but this is my first whole wheat flour cake. Would not recommend using whole wheat flour in this recipe."

ORANGE – Teresa "Tita" Smith, who has long served the city in and out of the Council Chambers, captured 58 percent of Tuesday's vote to defeat fellow City Council member Jon Dumitru to become mayor, according to preliminary election results.
Both candidates were born and raised in Orange and Smith's own family history in the city goes back five generations. Smith was instrumental in founding the Old Towne Preservation Association, which has fought to protect the area's historic charm.
"It's not only a victory for me, it's a victory for the wonderful city of Orange," Smith said. "Even with all the organizations that support me, it's the thousands of voters of Orange that mean the most."
Smith's campaign got a boost with the endorsement of Orange's firefighters union and the Orange Chamber of Commerce. She cast herself as a fiscal conservative with a strong commitment to public safety.
Going forward, Smith said her main focus will be helping businesses create jobs in the city. She wants to bring job fairs to Orange and encourage every business in the city to create at least one new job.
"Even if only half the businesses add one more job, that's 10,000 jobs," Smith said.
Dumitru hoped the council will maintain a strong stance on necessary cuts: "They need to reform pensions and really hold the line on expenditures, and I'm sure they'll do that."
Smith has won a two-year term and will replace Mayor Carolyn V. Cavecche.
Orange's next mayor will officially make nothing, but more than a quarter of a million dollars poured into the mayor's race.
Each candidate had raised close to $60,000, according to campaign financial reports from late October. But outside groups pumped tens of thousands of extra dollars into the race – mostly in the form of political mailers and lawn signs.
Reporter Doug Irving contributed to this report.

I know I mentioned earlier in the week how much I love the new Bullitt Bar, opened by Church Street Concepts, on Pine Street in downtown Orlando. Here's my column that's running in the Calendar section of the Orlando Sentinel tomorrow on the bar. To read it click here.
Also speaking of Church Street Concepts and favorite bars, you may remember a bar fave of mine a couple of years past was NV, directly next door to Bullitt. Well, it turns out Church Street Concepts has bought the bar and plan on keeping it exactly as is. Well except for those pesky hours, I never knew when they would be open or closed. Jim Faherty, a partner at Church Street Concepts, tells me the hours are now 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. Wedneday and Saturday, and 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. Thursday and Friday.
NV is at 27 E. Pine Street in downtown Orlando. Email firstname.lastname@example.com for information.

When I arriveat Mariska Hargitay's apartment in New York City, I am afraid I have the wrong address. Next to the door is a beat-up Spider-Man scooter, and as soon as I ring the bell, feet pound and a woman screams, "Just a minute!" When the door finally opens, I am greeted by a baby's butt.
"Come in, come in," Hargitay calls out in her husky-lusty voice. She swings the infant, a coffee-colored dumpling in a pink gingham sundress, to her hip and offers me her free hand to shake. I take it but step back. Unlike any other famous person I've ever met, Hargitay is bigger than I expected—basketball player tall, with swimmer's shoulders and Michelle Obama biceps. And unlike the emotionally damaged detective she plays on TV, Hargitay is smiley. Super smiley. Or maybe the baby has cast some sort of spell on her, because when I introduce myself, the Emmy winner responds by introducing not herself but her six-month-old daughter, whose name is Amaya.
Of course, Hargitay is within her rights to be a little dazed right now. A new baby is only one of the changes she's adjusting to. The other is the near-total revamp of the TV series she has starred in for 12 years, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Last spring her costar and close friend Chris Meloni left the show; his absence was filled by not one but two actors, Danny Pino and Kelli Giddish, each at least a decade younger than Hargitay. Andre Braugher, whose most recent credit is TNT's Men of a Certain Age, also joined SVU as a defense attorney. And with the exit of executive producer Neal Baer, Warren Leight took over as an executive producer andshow runner.
With all the transitions, there were even rumors that Hargitay's own role in the series might change. But as she settles onto a sleigh sofa in a sitting room painted the red-orange of a Hawaiian sunset, Hargitay really wants to talk about what is literally pressing on her heart: her daughter.
The long road to this baby begins with Hargitay's love life. Despite some serious relationships, she was still single at 38. ("They were great guys," she says, "but it wasn't right.")Then the multilingual, Yale-educated,green-eyed, block-jawed, six-foot-five Peter Hermann ambled onto the Law & Order: SVU set to take on a recurring role as defense attorney Trevor Langan. "I just knew," Hargitaysays. "He was so my opposite. A thinker rather than a let's-do-everything-now person. A gentle giant who reminded me of my grandpa"—an association that made Hermann pause when he was hoping to get her to go out with him.
They married the year Hargitay turned 40. Though the couple wanted children, they decided to spend a year simply enjoying being together. "We were both very OK with making a family through biology or adoption," she says. "Or both. I don't know where it comes from in Peter, but for me it probably comes from being raised by my stepmother. She didn't carry me in her tummy, but she was the one who was there. And she's the one who is still here."
In 2005, Hargitay became pregnant, and the next year she gave birth to the couple's son, August. She says she and her husband "would be perfectly happy to have another biological child," but another pregnancy hasn't followed.
In early 2010, the couple met with an attorney and began the process of adopting. The lawyer warned them it would be arduous, and he was right. "People give up their babies for various reasons," she says. "And like anything in life, you're dealing with a whole spectrum." One woman sent them regular updates on a pregnancy that they later learned had never existed. Another sent them results of prenatal tests that had never been taken. Still another couple changed their minds after the baby was born. "But the conversations we had with those parents were profound and beautiful," she says. "Really, I felt lucky to be part of their story. It was a really happy ending."
What kept Hargitay so sanguine throughout the emotional tumble? "I'm not going to pretend it was all a joyful journey," she says. But she and Hermann had faith that they were destined to be parents. "We were very clear about wanting our baby,"she says. "We would wait for our baby. I knew that the baby meant for our family would come."
Forbearance through tough times is a skill in which the actress is well practiced. Though she was crowned Miss Beverly Hills at age 18 and began landing acting jobs soon after, the roles were small and infrequent. (They could also be humiliating: Hargitay was cast as Dulcea in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie only to be fired, and costarred with a jive-talking French mastiff in Tequila and Bonetti.) With paychecks so scarce through her twenties, she took every kind of day job she could get: home health care aide for elderly people, playground aide for juvenile people. She sold books. She waited on tables. She rented every extra bedroom in her house, which she owned only because her father, Mickey, Mr. Universe 1955 turned Los Angeles contractor, had built it. She was still often in debt—tens of thousands of dollars in debt.
When the big 3-0 approached and passed, most actresses still waiting to be discovered would have gone to Plan B. Hargitay went to psychics. "And they always told me, 'The second half of your life is going to be so much better than your first,' " she recalls. "I was like, 'I want it now!' And those times were hard for me. But now I'm grateful. Because the truth is, I felt a little off-kilter for my first 25 years. My life began at 30 and took off at 40. I feel like my life in a way was preparing me for SVU."
It's true that everything that is important to Hargitay has roots in her role as Detective Olivia Benson. That means her husband, her children and her charity. The Joyful Heart Foundation, which Hargitay started in 2004, provides services for victims of sexual assault or abuse and advocates on their behalf.
Before working on SVU, Hargitay says, her only goal was to be "an artistically fulfilled actor." But the series quickly educated her about the crimes that affect one in four women. More profoundly, fans began reaching out to Hargitay as if she were her character—and that character is not only a sex-crimes detective but a woman who is a product of rape and winds up assaulted and traumatized as well.
"'Olivia! Olivia!' people scream at her," Hargitay's friend Nancy Jarecki, founder and CEO of Betty Beauty, says. "Seriously, we were at a play recently, and this woman runs up to her and says, 'I don't feel alone anymore. You don't know how much you've helped me.' I wasn't sure if she meant Olivia or Mariska."
Hargitay doesn't think victims reach out just because they confuse her with her character. She believes they either know or sense that she has suffered trauma herself.
When Hargitay was three years old, she was in a car accident. It occurred in Louisiana when the vehicle she was riding in crashed into a commercial truck. The three adults in the front seat—including her mother, the actress and sex symbol Jayne Mansfield—died instantly. Hargitay and her two brothers survived; she still has a scar on her forehead from the injuries she suffered. But even before the accident, Hargitay's earliest years were no doubt tumultuous: She was born while her parents were in the process of divorcing.
"Trauma is trauma," Hargitay says. "And trauma doesn't really go away unless you work at it. What I kept hearing in letters from victims, from people disclosing their pain, was not dissimilar to my own feelings. A violent crime was perpetrated on them, and something was stolen from them, and they have a piece of themselves missing. I could relate to that."
Hargitay has tried all sorts of approaches to healing her inner wounds and finding her life's path. Her friend Maria Bello, now starring in NBC's Prime Suspect, remembers participating in a "vision walk" with Hargitay when the two had small roles on ER. "In a vision walk, you take a snapshot in your head and see yourself in complete joy: what you are wearing, what you are doing," Bello says. "Then you tell your friend what you saw. Then you expand on what you see in your snapshot, and your friend expands on what you describe. One of the things that came out of that walk was that Mariska saw herself moving to New York and becoming a big TV star."
As helpful as Hargitay found that exercise and other soul-probing pursuits such as journaling, meditation and yoga, her most significant spiritual experience took place when she was surrounded by a pod of dolphins.
In 2002 she went swimming off the coast of Kona, Hawaii, and to this day she stumbles when trying to describe what happened. "All I can say is that I was dive-bombed by about 15 dolphins, and they surrounded me, kept coming toward me, missing me by an inch." The friendly assault left her understandably shaken: "I thought I was having a heart attack. It felt like a baptism. Whatever it was or wasn't, the point is, when I came out, I felt a serious heart opening. Something was released. A new passageway opened, and a lot of my fear seemed to dissipate. I had a big channel in me. A fearlessness, an openness, an active hope: I can have anything. I can have it all. I can have peace and happiness and joy. And something in me healed that day. After that, I met my husband; I started Joyful Heart. I wanted to share it. It has been profound."
The accomplishments of Hargitay's Joyful Heart Foundation have been significant. It has lobbied state and local governments to test the medical evidence in more than 200,000 rape kits currently backlogged in the United States. And it has paid for more than 5,000 sexual assault and abuse survivors to participate in healing retreats, including ocean experiences in Hawaii.
After nearly a year of false starts and false hopes, Hargitay and Hermann met Amaya's birth mother. Instantly, Hargitay had a good feeling: "Something was just different, and we knew it was right." But the woman said she was carrying a boy, which Hargitay found disappointing. "Of course I was open to any child," she says. "It's not like you ever get to pick. But ever since my mother died, I'd dreamed of having a girl. Still, I knew something was right, so we called the birth mother and said, 'Yes!' "
The birth mother thought it was a good match, too, but said she had to tell them one thing: The doctor had made a mistake. The baby was a girl.
Adopting provoked in Hargitay the same intense, overwhelming love that giving birth did. But for the first few days with Amaya, she says, that feeling was tinged with disbelief: "Is this really true? Do I really get to keep her? Is someone going to take her away?" There was also the fact that neitherof her parents was there to meet their granddaughter. But Hargitay is philosophical about those losses. Her father, who died in 2006 from complications of multiple myeloma and colon cancer, lived to meet her son and enjoy his daughter's enormous success. "I think it's sad when people don't get the proper good-bye," she says. "I got to tell him everything, and he got to tell me everything. He saw me living the life that he wanted for me. I think he was really proud. I feel like it was a lock and seal."
Hargitay has even carved out a certain peace about losing her mother when she was just a toddler. "I used to say, 'I wish I knew her more. I was only three.' And a friend said, 'All you have to do is look in the mirror.' It sounds so weird, but there's a truth in it. And it gave me peace and understanding that we're half of our parents. It sort of quelled some of my angst, or unrest, or need. So much of who I am is my parents—all three of them. I am grateful for all three. My son always goes, 'Mama has two mamas.'He calls [her stepmother] Ellen 'Grandma.' He calls Jayne 'Mama's mama.' He's so sweet. He'll say, 'You don't have your mom and dad, but you have me and Daddy.' And I say, 'Yes, I know, that's all I need.' "
That's not exactly true. Like most working mothers, Hargitay craves more of one thing: time with her family. For 12 years, she has pulled 15-hour days on SVU. And right now her husband is performing eight shows a week as a sympathetic German officer in the Broadway hit War Horse.
By the time she had Amaya in her arms, Hargitay knew that as a mom she wanted to do things differently her second time around. "August came to work with me every day for the first eight months," she explains. "But with Amaya, I just didn't want to bring her. It's so gross on set. I love the show. I really do. But I had no life.
"When we began negotiations for this season," she continues, "I asked for a four-day workweek." She got the deal. And even though Hargitay describes Meloni's departure from SVU as "like losing a limb," she says she loves the new team. Danny Pino says he'll be forever grateful to her for easing his jangly SVU screen-test nerves by greeting him with a hug instead of a handshake, and watching former Cold Case star Pino and Hargitay "interview" a "suspect" together onSVU—well, you'd think they really are detectives and have been partners forever.
Hargitay says she is delighted that she and her new costars have onscreen chemistry, and she is thrilled to be working a bit less. "It's still hard," says actress Debra Messing, a friend of Hargitay's who recently moved into her apartment building. "The other day Mariska called and said, 'August has a fever, and I'm stuck on set. Will you check on him?' " It wasn't that Hargitay didn't trust her babysitter; she just wanted a sort of "auntie" to look in on him. "So I ran up to her apartment and took his temperature and gave him [children's] Advil and snuggled with him," adds Messing. "Then I took pictures of us and sent them to her so she could see he was OK."
While Hargitay and I are talking in her sitting room (and taking frequent breaks to admire Amaya—"She smiled!" "She frowned!" "Ooh, ooh, did you see that face?"), the front door opens, and a babysitter leads in two children. The clearly besotted Hargitay cries out, "August!"
It's her son and his cousin Lexi (Hermann's sister and her family are visiting from Germany). Hargitay kisses both kids and proceeds to quiz them about the merits of the movie Winnie the Pooh, which they've just seen. August, a boy with impossibly large and expressive eyes, reports on a scary part. Then, as if communicating by telepathy, the children simultaneously disappear, then reappear with umbrellas, which they open over our respective heads, announcing that they, the umbrella holders, are invisible.
"Ahhhh," Hargitay sighs. "This is the stuff I live for."
It's true, Messing says. Despite Hargitay's professional success—the best-actress Emmy and Golden Globe; the record-setting salary (at reportedly $395,000 an episode in 2010, she was the highest-paid actress on primetime television); the groundbreaking, woman-championing role—intimacy is the real stuff of the actress's life.
When Messing lived in California and Hargitay and her family visited there, they bypassed fancy hotels in favor of sleepovers at Messing's house. And when Messing recently moved back to New York to star in the NBC series Smash and chose Hargitay's apartment building as her new home, Hargitay ordered 200 red balloons and one of the Statue of Liberty. They were aloft in Messing's son Roman's room when the family arrived, along with a note, "Welcome home, Roman."
"You should have seen Mariska when we took the kids to Disneyland," Messing says. "She was so happy about having everyone together and having a little time—well, I thought we'd go to bed at seven, but after dinner, Mariska was like, 'Anyone want to go on more rides?' Of course they did. And we did. And we watched the fireworks. We were up until 11:45 pm and had the time of our lives."
After what seems a rather long time trying to conduct an interview under umbrellas held by giggly children who insist they can't be seen, I am delivered when August and Lexi finally grow bored and scamper off. Hargitay returns her gaze to Amaya, looking at her with the hungry love of Raphael's Tempi Madonna. I have the feeling the actress's attention has been diverted, and my questions sound to her as if they are coming from far, far away.
Amaya gurgles and smiles and suddenly furrows her brow.
Hargitay furrows hers right back. Then she spins the infant around and sniffs her bottom. "Wow!" she says. "Excuse us."

ZF-6407: Create method to retreive actual destination
Create method to retreive the actual destination of transferred file after a possible Rename filter is applied.
$upload = new Zend_File_Transfer_Adapter_Http();
$upload->addFilter('Rename', 'C:\mypics\new\my_unique_filename.ext', 'upload');
$filename = $upload->getFileName('upload'); // Does not respect Rename filter and returns the "old" destination /tmp/uploaded_filename.ext
// Possible new method
$filename = $upload->getActualTransferedFileName('upload'); // Should return C:\mypics\new\my_unique_filename.ext
Not reproducable in trunk (next major release)
It would be nice if you could correctly respond to issues reported. It took me some time to figure out that getFileName() was changed in trunk (after i filed this issue) to now respect Rename filters. So, "Not reproducable" was very misleading here...
You filled in a issue for trunk without giving a release number. So my intention was that you are using the latest trunk version (next major release).
getFileName has not changed but another issue has been solved this week which has been told over IRC. It could be, based on your reply, that both issues are based on the same reason but as the other issue was based on another method and uses different code I thought that they are also based on different reasons.
I'm sorry if that seems irritating and would ask you next time to give the svn release number you've tested against. This allows me to test against that special release and respect this within the reply.
I will change the solution to respect what you noted.
Already fixed by another issue within trunk release.
I actually used latest trunk version (at time of writing the issue). But yes, i will add the svn release number next time. Thanks a lot for your work, really appreciated.

ACA releases statement on Chip Timing System
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
From ACA website
Everyone involved with the Superior Morgul Classic appreciates the participation and enthusiasm from our athletes and families over the weekend.
As many of you know, we are still working to create accurate results from the weekend. Overall Omnium results cannot be completed until this has happened.
Of course, the notion in the racing community is that "The chips system was in use, the results should be perfect." The reality is that no scoring system can create perfect results if the event's registration is not accurate. This simple concept defines the situation in which we find ourselves. We have a world class timing system that functions at a very high level. We do not have world class data being inputted into this system.
When this happens, especially at an event that had more than 1,700 athletes in 20+ categories, creating results reverts largely to hand scoring. And this takes time.
Other questions have been:
1. Why were the Superior time trial results so fast? Answer: the event was pre-registration only, and our officials could rely on the results generated by the timing company.
2. Why do we need bib numbers if we have chips? Answer: Chip data includes info on the rider as it relates to the ACA database. It does NOT include category data, as the majority of our athletes can choose one of multiple categories on race day. The bib number is linked to the start list for a particular event, and therefore imperative for scoring. Bib numbers are also the best form of identification in event of an accident during a race.
3. Why do we have a timing system? Answer: The timing system was purchased in order to provide deep, accurate, and timely scoring for all categories (in a larger effort to provide results and a racing experience that is similar to running, triathlon, or mountain bike races). Please note that all these types of events are much simpler to score than a road race or criterium. As everyone knows, this has not been an easy implementation, and I apologize for the confusion that is out there.
4. What do we do now? Answer: We have had a major development with the timing company, in that Orion (the timing company) has opened a North American office in Boulder, which is run by ACA member Paul de Curnou. With his background, attitude, and training, we have seen significant progress in our communication and ability to work with the vendor. In order to address the problems we have with the data being put into the timing software, Paul is working to create day-of registration software that will be shared at no charge with our race promoters. A beta version of this new product will be available in the next three months.
5. What can ACA members do? Answer: Well, you could go on 303 Cycling and anonymously post a lot of vitriol, or you could call me to get an idea of the whole picture. My number is 303-458-5538. The simplest things that ACA members can do is 1) pre-register, and 2) complete registration accurately and legibly.
6. What can I say? Answer: I want to thank the ACA community for your support during this time. We have seen quite a bit of change, and we are appreciative of each and every member. I want to apologize for the confusion that has existed over the last six months. We have been working to define our relationship with USAC and the data flow between our organizations, to refine our database given this new source of information, and to continue using the timing system, which relies on the database to produce results. It is a lot of challenge, and I apologize that we have not communicated as effectively as perhaps we need to.

Skip BRAC and/or USAC
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Skip BRAC, just make it a USAC race like Iron Horse did. Or even better just skip USAC and BRAC like mountain biking is doing. Unless you use the ACA Race Kit and Chip timing, you are just wasting your money with the $2.50 per rider surcharge. You can get USAC officials without being part of BRAC (ACA or whatever they are called now).
I'm looking forward to the day when I don't need a USAC/BRAT license to race on the road like I do mountain biking.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Amen, I doubt Iron Horse could sanction with usac and not have to deal with BRAC so they said the heck with it and we'll go on our own. I hope they do well and the racing population continues to support them. This could be a start of things to come by promoters if BRAC doesn't wise up and start acting like an LA and not a governing body. That's what USAC is for now, it's time for them to revamp their model and realize they aren't the CO Governing Body for cycling. Once that happens then maybe the annual membership charges, and racer surcharges will finally go away and more racers will come on out to race. While BRAC is searching for a way to get their "World Class" aka defunct timing system to work they seem to be losing their mission of growing cycling in Colorado. Their new model for their timing system is only going to bankrupt them since there will only be a few races that use the system, and all that money goes to the timer (D&L). So the question is how will BRAC continue to fund this timing system throughout the years as it will generate zero revenue for them, and they will continue to shell out 30-40K every 3 to 5 years for new chips? Then how will they continue to operate as their bank account gets drained from this "World Class" aka bottom rate timing system. Has anyone asked that question? Or the question if this timing system is so great then why aren't other timers using it? If promoters don't begin pulling away over the next few years BRAC will help them do the job by essentially bankrupting themselves. Why not spend the time supporting riders and promoters and the CO scene by figuring out a way to operate without all the memberships and rider surcharges. Once you do that then you will really be supporting the Colorado cycling scene and helping to encourage people to come on out and race their bikes. Although I hope things will turn for the better I have a pit of my stomach feeling that we will be looking back at 2012/2013 and BRAC will be saying we should have gotten out of the timing business and figured out how to operate as an efficient LOCAL ASSOCIATION. I hope I'm wrong, but it looks like they are hell bent on continuing on this path, at least until they run out of other peoples money. I for one will be voting with my money and will not be re-upping my BRAC membership this year due to very poor performance on their part.

I suppose I could try to figure it out myself, but am sure someone already has and would love to rant, er... explain it to me. What fees, if any, would a racer incur if they choose not to be a BRAC member but still race in CO? What benefits would one get if they choose to be a BRAC member? (no snickering, pls, there must be some benefit)

Just listen to your self man,

Just listen to your self man, you have lost sight of reality. Do we even want people like racing?
Is BRAC perfect? No. Did most of us have a great time racing in 2012? Yes. Is it a little more expensive? Sure. Did the chips not work at time? Yup. Yet somehow it all worked out, races were won and lost on the road, and the chip timing worked great at most races I did. I am so tired of people like you, the vocal minority, who come on here and cry and offer zero solutions. How about you run for the BRAC Board and just fix everything? How about 303cycling start using facebook, or something, as a log in method to get guys like you to put your name on your crying?
I know guys like you hate letting the truth get in the way of what you think, but the actual chip timing system is well proven elsewhere. I have raced in two USAC Nationals in the last 18 months and both used the exact chips BRAC uses and they worked great. Results were up fast and they even had real time scoring on a huge board, on a lap by lap basis in the crit. So yes BRAC is open to critique in how they work with the chips, but any issues are not the chips, as you incorrectly assume.

Three hours from door to door. Can you imagine deciding you'd make a last minute roadtrip to ski in southern Utah when you have all of this great skiing right here in the Wasatch?
Well I did.
I couldn't miss the (re)opening of Eagle Point - formerly known as Elk Meadows in Beaver, Utah. It's been 8 years since the ski area has seen any action and so, without pretense or pomp, the newly recertified lifts cranked around the bullwheel and signaled the beginning of something that could quite possibly be one of the best reasons I've seen to get out of town in the winter.
The crew from Ski Utah was going down; my photographer buddy and constant heckler Chad Spector was going. I had to go.
The 3.5 hour drive on I-15 and then 18 more miles east up a narrow windy canyon road outside of Beaver went by quickly. There's cell service for email and phonecalls to keep you entertained.
Not so much at the slopeside condos at Eagle Point. I had to stash my phone and computer because without a signal or wi-fi, what's the point? If you stand just outside the front door of the Outpost Grill you might get a few bars but you'll be struggling if you plan to rely on your phone.
Speaking of bars, there's a full bar there. In fact, there's a sit-down gourmet restaurant run by a celebrity chef that will leave Beaver residents scratching their heads.
Yes, fine dining in Beaver! And a classy bar.
We chilled in the condo while management scrambled to fill the new Lookout Lodge with recently delivered chairs. Flatscreens with satellite and fireplace inserts give a cozy feel to the '90s decor.
The places are exactly what you would want for the wooded mountaintop site.
If you put in granite counters and stainless appliances in the rooms, you'd lose the authenticity and ramp up nightly rates at a place that will do better with families and backcountry hounds who see fancy digs as a deterrent and not a selling point.
At Eagle Point you can get a midweek, one-bedroom condo and two lift tickets for $125. Kids under six ski free so a whole (young) family can take a two-day ski jaunt for $250. Not per person. The whole fam- $250.
[caption id="attachment_11028" align="alignnone" width="525" caption="The view from our condo deck"][/caption]
Ticket window prices are $45/day and as soon as there's more snow, everyone can go tubing on four lanes for $15. The restaurant prices are fair too- $10 for a third-pound burger.
I drooled as I watched one served but didn't have a chance to bite into my own. Drat.
The butternut squash soup, however, was dreamy creamy.
The layout of EP is a bit funky. Advanced skiers can take off from the condos near the Canyonside Lodge but anyone taking a ski school lesson or picking up rentals will have to ride the courtesy "Mountain Taxi" to the Skyline Lodge.
You can ski from Skyline to Canyonside but not the other way around. We boarded the beginner Skyline Chair after making first tracks on the flat terrain. Some people turned. I made 11s. I wondered if it might be too flat for even beginners but groomed it's probably ideal for them.
We rode another chair then boarded a Polaris ATV with tracks instead of tires. It pulled 11 riders up a ridge and deposited us on top of expert trails with Native American names.
Yesterday's storm added another 2" to the 28" base that had yet to be skied so far this season. Snow coverage was decent but you still have to be careful of rocks. We made a few laps then headed in for lunch for the ribbon cutting. I would have liked another run or two. The snow was wind compacted but still floaty; challenging in spots for anyone not wearing rockered fat boys on their feet. Ie ME.
But we headed into the Outpost. The three owners were inside. Shane Gadbaw, Joe Clough and Terry Leighton welcomed the few of us who did the honors today. They seemed a little more relaxed. No one got hurt, the lifts didn't break down, the lodge chairs arrived and we had fresh snow.
There is still work to be done with even more plans for next season. They say they'll build another 100+ units this summer, add snowmaking and glade the mountain for tree skiing.
Personally, I'd recommend a bigger cafeteria at Skyline and French fries on the menu, bathrooms in the mid-mountain warming hut, and cellphone towers, but that's just me. One thing that won't need much polish will be the five backcountry access gates approved by the forest service. EP's ski school will offer full day backcountry/sidecountry tours for the price of a private lesson.
For about $350, five people can go out touring with a guide and all the gear they'll need. Experienced backcountry skiers have no problem arguing that the Tushar Mountain Range rivals any in the Wasatch. When those gates are ready and open, I'll be heading down again for sure.
In the meantime, try to get down and visit Utah's 14th resort. People in Utah don't normally understand the concept of ski roadtrips. That's for Californians and Vermonters. The most we ever drive is an hour.
But it's worth taking the 202-mile drive south. You'll feel like you're going on a real ski vacation; without the pricetag, the questionable snow and TSA patdowns.

Rubber Chemical Linked to Cancer
Your rubber ducky may be more dangerous than you think. According to a new study in Occupational and Environmental Medicine a chemical called 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT), commonly used in rubber products, may heighten cancer risk. Researchers examined data on plant workers from 1955 to 1984 and 1971 to 1984 and determined those exposed to fumes during the manufacturing process were twice as likely to develop colon cancer and 4 times as likely to get bone marrow cancer; Reuters reports.
Great, another chemical to worry about! If you recall, Bisphenol-A (BPA) was all over the news last year. BPA is used to make hard plastic and has been linked to learning impairments and depression and prostate cancer and breast cancer.
So, be mindful of your environment, especially if you have kids!

We chose Thursday as our day at the annual Utah Arts Festival at Library Square, because McMurtry and his Heartless Bastards (not to be confused with other Heartless Bastards) was playing on the big hill at 8:30. Irascible and grumpy as ever–much like his old man Larry–McMurtry is one of the best songwriters around, and unabashedly political–refreshing in an era of persistently cool cynicism. The hard-driving, bass-thumping bluesy Texas sound gave substande to the pissed-off lyrics–you know, you could dance out your anger.
Before and after, we checked out the rest of the fest. It runs through Sunday.
Here's what sand sculptor Ted Seibert had accomplished by Thursday afternoon. The image of a flamenco dancer should be close to finished now.
And here are the graffiti artists at their ongoing painting in the Urban Art section of the festival.
Lots of people made wildly successful hats. eat your heart out, Bill Cunningham.
PB&J girl was making the rounds of the whole festival, for those who needed sustenance NOW.
We opted for an Italian grilled cheese from Melty Way. With a cold beer from Uintah, of course.
I didn't have a chance to ask what this guy's story is; sometimes you just enjoy looking.
Oh, yeah. And there's art. Glass was big this year. I loved these drinking glasses with bottoms made of dichroic glass so they seem to change color as you fill them and tilt to sip. The artist (from Seattle) is Marcia Wiley. She's in Booth 54.
One of my absolute favorite artists; I've seen her work in past years. Take a very close look: this is all quilt piecework, amazingly detailed and beautifully whimsical. It's Chris Antieau's work in Booth 46.
And these wood knives are amazing. Colten Tippets in Booth 49, makes metal-bladed ones too.
These amazing stilt-walking Venetian Carnevale-looking creatures, stalked the grounds, stealing people's hats. They are made and manned by members of Dragon Knight Stilt Theater. Look up.
Yes, fun for all, as they say. Even UAF queen Eugenie Hero-Jaffe and kids.

As reported by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on June 28, 2012
H.R. 5949 would extend the authority of the federal government to conduct surveillance pursuant to the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-261). Because CBO does not provide cost estimates for classified programs, this estimate addresses only the budgetary effects on unclassified programs affected by the bill. On that basis, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 5949 would have no significant cost to the federal government.
Enacting the bill could affect direct spending and revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. However, CBO estimates that any effects would be insignificant for each year.
The FISA Amendments Act of 2008 clarified the authority of the federal government to surveil and intercept communications of certain persons located outside the United States. H.R. 5949 would extend the provisions of that act by five years (otherwise they expire after December 31, 2012). As a result, the government might be able to prosecute criminal cases that it otherwise would not be able to pursue. CBO expects that H.R. 5949 would apply to a relatively small number of additional offenders, however, so any increase in costs for law enforcement, court proceedings, or prison operations would not be significant. Any such costs would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
Because those prosecuted and convicted under H.R. 5949 could be subject to criminal fines, the federal government might collect additional fines if the legislation is enacted. Criminal fines are deposited as revenues in the Crime Victims Fund and later spent. CBO expects that any additional revenues and direct spending would not be significant because of the relatively small number of cases likely to be affected.
The bill would impose both private-sector and intergovernmental mandates by extending an existing mandate that would limit civil actions and require providers of communication services to provide information. There is little information about the prevalence of electronic surveillance in those cases or the scope or size of potential awards from such cases. Consequently, CBO cannot determine whether the costs of those mandates would exceed the annual threshold established by the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) for private-sector mandates ($146 million in 2012, adjusted annually for inflation). However, few public entities receive requests for such information, and the costs on them would be small. The bill also would extend an existing preemption on state and local governments regarding legal rights of action. CBO estimates that the costs to public entities of all the intergovernmental mandates in the bill would be small and well below the annual threshold established in UMRA ($73 million in 2012, adjusted annually for inflation).
On July 2, 2012, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for H.R. 5949, the FISA Amendments Act Reauthorization Act of 2012, as ordered reported by the House Committee on the Judiciary on June 19, 2012. Both versions of H.R. 5949 and their estimated costs are the same. On July 19, 2012, CBO also transmitted a cost estimate for S. 3276, the FISA Amendments Act Reauthorization Act of 2012, as reported by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on June 7, 2012. That bill is very similar to both versions of H.R. 5949, and the estimated costs are also the same.

Rolly Shumway holds the delightful distinction of being the first NCAA champion in Idaho history. The first of many successful Vandal pugilists, Shumway pounded his way to the 1937 NCAA crown at 145 pounds. That same season, he led to the Vandal boxers to their highest team finish at the time when he won the 145-pound title at the Pacific Coast Conference Championships and led the Vandals to a second-place finish. Shumway's success in the ring helped kick-start a generation of Idaho greatness in boxing a domination that lasted for the next 20 years.

In the interest of full disclosure, I have to tell you I haven't had a hair cut in over six months. Not that I haven't needed one, mind you, but the act of actually getting myself to the salon never quite made it to the top of the priority list. I had holiday shopping to do, of course, and also extra time logged at the gym (all those sugar cookies aren't going to disappear off my thighs by themselves). And then I looked at myself in the mirror and I was horrified. My mane had become so long and unruly that whatever chic shape was once cut into it had vanished. I've been wearing pony tails almost exclusively, I realize, and I wouldn't know the difference between a good hair day and a bad hair day if I was being interrogated by the FBI. My bad. The point is this: Getting stuck in a style rut—whether it's hair related, fashion related or relationship related for that matter, is a bad thing. Tweaking your look, updating it on a regular basis, is a necessity if you want to look chic and modern in a chic and modern world (yes, you). Have you been carrying the same handbag for more than a year? Make a change. Has your shade of lipstick outlasted your water filter? Try something new. You don't have to spend a lot of time or money, but the payoff will be huge. As for my hair? I'm scheduled, and I'm chopping it off.
Go! Buy! Be Chic!

Bioniche Life Sciences and partner Endo Pharmaceuticals claim interim data from an ongoing Phase III trial evaluating Urocidin™ in patients with bacillus Calmett-Guerin (BCG)-refractory nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) suggest the treatment may represent an alternative to cystectomy.
The new trial results in 129 patients in the U.S. and Canada showed that for patients with high-grade papillary tumors and/or carcinoma in situ who failed to respond to one or more courses of BCG, treatment using Urocidin was associated with an overall one-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate of 25%. DFS was defined as a lack of recurrence or progression to muscle-invasive disease. The one-year DFS rate was 35% for patients with only papillary tumors, and 21% for those with carcinoma in situ, with or without papillary tumors.
A second, global Phase III study evaluating Urocidin was initiated in February. This open-label, active-controlled trial will compare Urocidin with mitomycin C in the intravesical treatment of about 450 patients with BCG-recurrent or BCG-refractory NMIBC.
Urocidin is a formulation of mycobacterial cell wall-DNA complex (MCC), which appears to have both immunostimulatory and direct anticancer activities, Bioniche claims. The treatment is administered by transurethral catheter directly into the bladder. Endo holds exclusive global rights to develop and market Urocidin for the intravesical treatment of nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer. Under terms of the deal, signed in 2009, Bioniche received a $20 million up-front payment and could earn another $110 million in milestones.

One year after Anka Behavioral Health began offering programs in Georgetown and Wilmington, the organization has announced it will discontinue its services due to "business reasons," according to a news release.
Last June, Anka began development in Delaware, opening two Assertive Community Treatment programs and one Intensive Care Management Program through a partnership with the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services. Located in Georgetown and Wilmington, the outpatient programs served people experiencing varied levels of mental health challenges, including those with co-occurring substance abuse disorders. Throughout the year, the programs assisted 240 individuals.
Anka CEO Chris Withrow said it is no longer feasible from a business perspective to continue services in Delaware. Anka is working closely with other area providers to ensure a smooth transitions for clients and staff.

SPOKEN WORD AT DARKSIDE SKATES April 26th RECAP
For the first time in history, Cyco Mike Muir and Brother Jim 'Red Dog' Muir took to the podium sharing
stories, insights, history and the future with a privileged and select section of media, skate and music
industry representatives, in what has now already become an historic evening for those in attendance.
Held on the 26th of April at Darkside Skateboard Museum on the Gold Coast, the evening was an intimate
and close-up look into the lives of two very iconic pioneers and their respective careers, which concluded
with the screening of some never before seen Suicidal Tendencies video clips much to the liking of the
lucky guests.
The brothers shared stories and time with the crowd, offering up an opportunity for autographs,
conversation and photos at the end.
Emotional at times, hilarious at other times but mostly deep and insightful, both brothers gave
the audience a mindful of powerful and honest dialogue, which was very well received by all, the room
more often than not falling silent with everyone engaged and in awe at what was transpiring.
Jim discussed the frightening details of his near death experience in breaking his neck, and path he is
on to recovery, whilst Mike stressed the importance of true friends,family,blunt honesty and self respect.
Many thanks to all who attended and all involved, in particular Mike and Jim, their families
(who also attended), Luke Sorensen and Leigh Kelly for organising the event, Monster Energy,
as well as Mark Searle from Darkside for hosting the evening.
The room was abuzz with anticipation of the upcoming Suicidal Tendencies Australian tour, which kicks off
on May 12th at Coolangatta here on the Gold Coast.

ZF-3428: Zend_Uri_Http should not need a factory
Problem To create URIs today you have to go via the factory in Zend_Uri, because the constructor in Zend_Uri_Http is protected. This creates an additional overhead that simply is not needed. The constructor in Zend_Uri_Http might as well be public, since most of us already know that a HTTP URI is what we want to create.
Why make the constructor public?
Creating it via a factory gives nothing but overhead when you know that Zend_Uri_Http is what you want
Auto-completion in IDEs. Zend_Uri_Http has a lot of methods, and looking up the API is a tedious task. To get auto-completion (PDT) you currently have to 1) create the URI using a factory in a separate method then the one you're in, then 2) store it as a property in the class, 3) use the property's docblock to indicate that it is a Zend_Uri_http, and 4) use this property in other methods.
What to look out for when making the constructor public Currently there is no check on $scheme in the constructor, so the following code must/should be used instead of $this->_scheme = $scheme:
switch ($scheme) {
case 'http':
case 'https':
$this->_scheme = $scheme;
throw new Zend_Uri_Exception("Scheme \"$scheme\" is not supported");
Optionally there could be a factory method in Zend_Uri_Http that does the same as Zend_Uri::factory, only the new factory method may only create Zend_Uri_Http (obviously). This way the constructor may be kept protected and unmodified. This approach may be used if you don't know whether the URIs you create are 'http' or 'https'.
Easier to use API
More friendly to IDEs
Does not break backwards compatibility
Ben Scholzen has agreed to fix this if approved.
Actually, the factory pattern is only there to make the creation of objects easier (by finding the right class to use), but not to forbid the creation of those specific classes. So another factory method would be wrong in that place, we have to make the constructor method public, and change it's behaviour, imho.
Well, so I suggest that the constructor can either behave like before (with two parameters), or with a single parameter (the url itself). Any suggestions on the variable naming then?
Yes. Also, since 'http' and 'https' don't make different classes, a single 'factory' method in Zend_Uri_Http just doesn't make sense (pattern-wise).
Another issue is that if the constructor is made public, you still would have to know if you're creating a 'http' or 'https' URI when constructing. This could be solved by creating another factory method called e.g. Zend_Uri_Http::fromString($uri), which would sniff out $scheme and $schemeSpecific to create the URI accordingly, and throw an exception if scheme is not 'http' or 'https'. This would be 100% backwards compatible.
I like the idea with the fromString() method. Sounds even better than making the constructor public and doesn't require to change current code. If approved I would make the neccesary changes.
Fixed with the Zend_Uri_Http::fromString() solution. By this, also rewrote the code to match new coding standard.
Comitted with revision 9655
Correction, fix revision is 9656
Updating for the 1.6.0 release.

Ben Fultz' drives in game-winning run on sac fly in the 13th inning
April 1, 2012
Box Score l Live Chat Replay l Highlights
GREENVILLE, N.C. - Ben Fultz delivered a game-winning sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 13th to give No. 30 East Carolina (19-8, 4-2 C-USA) a 6-5 victory and series sweep over UAB (17-12, 2-4 C-USA) on Sunday afternoon at Lewis Field inside Clark-LeClair Stadium.
With the game knotted at five heading to the bottom of the 13th, Drew Reynolds was hit by a Ryan Nance pitch to start the frame. Corey Thompson followed by delivering a single to right-field on a perfectly-executed hit-and-run play. The base knock put runners at the corners with nobody out. The Blazers elected to intentionally walk John Wooten to set up force plays at every bag before Fultz followed with a fly ball to center, plenty deep enough to plate Reynolds, who tagged up from third for the game-winning run.
ECU trailed UAB by three runs heading into the bottom of the ninth. Fultz laced a one-out double to left to start the rally and Zach Wright followed by drawing a walk. Bryan Bass followed with an infield single to load the bases and put the potential game-tying run on the base paths.
UAB reliever Ryan Nance struck out Tim Younger for the second out of the inning before throwing a wild pitch, which scored Fultz and trimmed ECU's deficit to 5-3. Wright and Bass moved into scoring position on Nance's errant offering.
Pinch-hitter Chase McDonald, who was batting .193 on the season, fought off a 1-2 breaking ball and delivered a game-tying, two-run single into center field.
Reynolds (2-0) earned the victory on the mound for the Pirates, tossing four shutout innings of relief where he struck out a career-best six batters facing two over the minimum. Nance (2-1) suffered the loss for the Blazers after giving up four runs on five hits, walking two, and striking out three in 4 2/3 frames.
The visitors raced out to a 2-0 lead in the first behind an RBI single from John Frost (2-for-5) and a run-scoring double courtesy of Patrick Palmeiro (2-for-6, 2 RBIs).
UAB extended its lead to 3-0 in the second after Ryan Prinzing drove in Ryan Ussery with a single.
The Blazers chased ECU starter Jharel Cotton in the top of the third. UAB touched the junior right-hander for three runs on six hits in two innings of work. Andy Smithmyer relieved Cotton and pitched effectively, allowing just two runs (one earned) and striking out one in four innings of relief.
East Carolina scored its first run of the afternoon in the fourth. Reynolds (3-for-5) roped a double to the gap in left-center and eventually scored on John Wooten's RBI groundout.
UAB built its lead to 5-1 with single runs in the fifth and sixth stanzas before Wooten (2-for-5, 2 RBIs) cut into the lead with a solo home run (fifth of the season) over the wall in left in the bottom of the seventh.
Michael Busby was outstanding in his effort on the mound for the Blazers, allowing just a pair of runs on six hits in 7 2/3 frames before handing the ball to Nance.
Tanner Merritt (2.2 IP, three strikeouts) and Jake Harris (0.1 IP) bridged the gap between Smithmyer and Reynolds, retiring all nine batters they faced. On the afternoon, the Pirates bullpen allowed two runs (one earned) in 11 innings and from the seventh frame until the 13th allowed just two base runners (walk and single) while striking out nine.
The Pirates recorded their seventh-straight win at home, fifth come from behind victory when trailing after six innings and improved to 7-3 in one-run games on the season. Offensively they pounded out 11 hits, nine after the sixth inning, with Bass (two hits), Reynolds (three) and Wooten (two) each collecting multiple base knocks.
East Carolina returns to the diamond on Tuesday, Apr. 3 when it travels to instate foe UNC Wilmington. First pitch is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. (EST).

DBE certifications do not expire. However, DBE-certified firms are required to submit an Annual Update every year to maintain certification. DBE firms with names beginning in A through J, must submit an Annual Update by April 1 of each calendar year, and DBE firms with names beginning in K through Z must submit an Annual Update by Oct. 1 of each calendar year.
ADOT has a Unified Certification Program (UCP), which means ADOT, the city of Tucson and the city of Phoenix all review and approve certifications for firms in Arizona. Certification by one entity is honored by all members of the UCP. The certifying agency is determined by the firm's primary location. Firms located in Pima County should apply for certification and submit their Annual Update to the city of Tucson. Firms located in Maricopa County should apply for certification and submit their Annual Update to the city of Phoenix. All other firms should apply for certification and submit their Annual Update to ADOT. If your firm's primary location is in Maricopa County but you have previously submitted DBE information to ADOT, contact the city of Phoenix at 602.262.6790 before attempting to submit your renewal in the DBE system so that your records can be seamlessly transferred from ADOT to city of Phoenix. If your firm's location is in Pima County, contact the city of Tucson at 520.837.4009. Access ADOT's DBE System.
Please note that all updates must be completed online, unless otherwise instructed by UCP members.
