You might be worried about:
It can be very upsetting if your parents are arguing, but it is not your fault, even if they seem to be arguing about you.
Parents have a lot of responsibilities and this can be very stressful sometimes. There are lots of things that they could be disagreeing about, but it is not your fault that they are arguing.
Families are supposed to be caring and loving towards one another. They are the people you should feel most safe and secure with.
It can be normal for families not to get along with each other sometimes. Every family has problems from time to time, even if they are usually happy and don't often argue.
Young people often talk to ChildLine about their families. Some people talk about how much they enjoy their family, but others sometimes talk about feeling left out or that they don't get on with them.
We're here to listen whenever you need us. Speak to a counsellor free on 0800 1111 or through 1-2-1 chat. It helps to talk.
Arguing can make you feel angry and upset, and your parents could well be feeling like this too. Try to talk to your parents calmly. If you listen to what they have to say, they are more likely to listen to you as well. If you feel that you are starting to get angry then try to ask to talk later. Remember you can always talk to ChildLine about how you are feeling and can even practice with us what you want to say.
If you have a difficult relationship with your parents, it can be hard to know how to fix it. Talking to your parents is a really important step in maintaining a good relationship and making a difficult one better.
You might feel you can't talk to your parents. Remember, you can always talk to a ChildLine counsellor. We can help you work out what you want to say to your parents.
Sometimes it's easier to talk about little things. You could start by telling them something about your day, or asking them how their day was. This can help you connect more and make a tense relationship a little bit better. It may also help your parents feel that they can be there for you if you go through a difficult time.
The ChildLine message boards are a good place to find out how other people feel about their family, the difficulties they have and also things that have made things better for them. The boards can help you see that you are not alone and can be a great way to get tips on how to get through difficult times with your family.
It's really hard when two people decide to end a relationship, especially when they have children together. There are lots of reasons why people decide to split up.
Some couples decide to separate so that they can have time and space to work out their problems, or because they are finding it hard to get on with each other.It's important to remember that you haven't done anything to make your parents split up and you shouldn't blame yourself. This is something that has been decided by your parents. Talking to them about how you are feeling will help them understand, and they will be able to reassure you about what is happening. Find out more information and advice about separation and divorce.
It's normal to find it difficult to adjust to a stepfamily. Learning to cope with stepparents, stepbrothers and stepsisters can be a tough and lonely experience. There can be pressure to be a 'perfect family', but it takes time to get to know one another.
If you're struggling to get on with your new family, you don't have to worry about it on your own. You could try talking to your parents about how you feel. If you feel that you can't talk to them, you can talk to ChildLine. Get more help and advice about stepfamilies.
Your parents or carers should be looking after you. It's their job to keep you safe and that may not be happening if they are drinking. It could mean that they act differently after they have drunk alcohol. If you don't like what happens or if you feel they may have a problem with drinking, then you should talk to someone you trust. This can be the first step to changing things. If you ever need to talk to someone, you can always contact ChildLine.
If you're living with someone who drinks a lot, it might mean that you have to take on extra responsibilities. You might not always have the support you need. For example, you may have to do things like food shopping and sometimes you might have to do your homework without any help. There may be services in your area that can help you with these things. If you would like us to, ChildLine can help you work out what support might be available in your area.

Domestic abuse or violence can happen in any family and in all kinds of homes. Even if the violence is not aimed at you, you can get hurt too. You might be in the same or next room when the violence is going on and this can be extremely distressing. The violence or abuse could also be aimed at you too.
Domestic abuse can mean:
- Physical abuse - hurting someone by hitting, pushing or kicking them. - Emotional abuse - saying things on purpose to frighten the other person or make them feel bad about themself. For example, constantly saying that someone is stupid or ugly. - Controlling behaviour - stopping someone by force from acting freely. This can include keeping them from seeing relatives and friends, not letting them have a job or not letting them spend money.
Telling someone, like a teacher or trusted adult about what is happening can help make it stop. You can always talk to ChildLine for help and support. Find out more about domestic violence.
Abuse can mean a lot of different things such as neglect, physical, emotional or sexual abuse. It's not always easy to know if you or someone you know is being abused. But it's important to remember that nobody has the right to hurt you or make you do anything that feels wrong.
If you or someone you know is being abused in any way, then the most important thing to do is talk to someone about it. You can contact ChildLine anytime. We will listen to you and will always try to help you.
If you are feeling unhappy or are being hurt by someone, running away will not make it better. You will have different problems if you run away and are on the streets.
It is very important that you are safe. If you feel that you need something to change you could start by telling an adult you trust or a ChildLine counsellor about how you are feeling. Read more about homelessness and running away.
In most cases you should still be able to see your friends and family, unless it's unsafe or not the best thing for you. You might not be able to see your friends and family as much as you would like to and this can be difficult. Usually your social worker will be able to talk to you about this. They can do things like carrying out checks if you want to stay overnight with friends, to help to make sure this is a safe place for you to stay.Find more help and advice about living in care
Forced marriage is when people are made to get married when they don't want to. This might involve physical or emotional abuse. If you can't talk to your parents or another trusted adult about this, ChildLine can help you find the right support. Get more help and advice about forced marriage.

Waters, known for his shocking underground films like "Pink Flamingoes" and "Female Trouble" and his slightly more mainstream films like "Crybaby" and "Hairspray," jumped into a monologue covering the wide range of his career, obsessions and cinematic aesthetic. "Be glad your kid is a troublemaker," he told the audience early on. "You should hope he's a bad influence on others." Indeed, Waters extolled the virtues of teenage hitchhiking, declared his connoisseurship of outrageous porn titles and gave an excellent title to both his imaginary club ("The Pelt Room", where he hoped to establish fetish subculture segregation) and his imaginary cemetery where he and his stars would be buried ("Disgraceland").
Afterwards, a 15-minute Q&A with the audience brought out questions from fans wanting tips on how to make it big, questioning what has happened to some of his film's most memorable stars and declarations of the director's influence over their lives. One man claimed his career as a corrections officer was a result of Waters' work with prisoners, while another asked who Waters considered the "filthiest person in the world."
"Johnny Knoxville," Waters noted. But as he explained, "I think that's a positive."
During a private reception with Waters following the show, Waters mingled with Utah Film Center's Executive Director Missy G. Dawson, a slew of the center's members and some of the biggest Waters fans in the state. One eager couple even made the most of the evening with a wedding proposal. "It was actually the second time it has happened," Waters said, who posed with the happy couple for a memorable photo op. "It was very sweet. You could tell it was genuine."
But, he said, proposals are nothing out of the ordinary. One fan boasted a tattoo of his signature across her buttocks, while another impressed him with a tattoo of a full page from his "Female Trouble" script across the leg. "That's really amazing," he marveled.

I would like first to welcome you to Saudi Arabia; I hope your visit so far has been enjoyable and will continue to be rewarding.
As you all know, the relationship between Saudi Arabia and the United States stretches back more than 80 years. During that period, it has stood the test of time and remained strong.
This bond has many dimensions, of course, and petroleum is one of the cornerstones of that relationship. Over the years, the US has played an important and greatly appreciated role in the development of the Saudi oil industry. However, some people mistakenly think that the US-Saudi petroleum equation is determined by how much oil the United States imports from Saudi Arabia.
In fact, these are purely commercial transactions and are a function of market fundamentals rather than policy directives. Quite simply, American oil companies import Saudi oil based on their normal business needs, either because it is suitable for their refineries and enables them to achieve a better supply source; or as a result of competitive pricing among oil suppliers in the world oil market. The same dynamic applies to Saudi Aramco, our national oil company, which sells crude oil and products to roughly a dozen US petroleum companies on a purely commercial basis.
Globalization has contributed to a free and open world petroleum market, where US oil companies can buy their oil from wherever they want according to their commercial interests, while Saudi Aramco can also market its production wherever it wants in order to best achieve its commercial objectives.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
However, having said that, the petroleum relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia goes far beyond imports and exports of crude oil – though those are, of course, vital – and involves many areas of common interest and mutual benefit. These include, for example, investments in major petroleum projects and infrastructure developments in both countries.
Through its Motiva partnership, Saudi Aramco has a major investment in refining and distribution in the US, and Motiva's Port Arthur Refinery in Texas is now embarking on a major expansion which will more than double its capacity and make it the largest refining complex in the United States, and represents the biggest expansion decision among the US refineries. At the same time, American oil companies are investing in the Saudi downstream sector, and in fact have been engaged in the Kingdom's refining sector for many, many years. As a matter of fact, Exxon-Mobil is the largest foreign investor in Saudi Arabia.
Besides petroleum investments in both countries, there are other areas of common interest, such as American contracting companies which are engaged in important work on major oil and gas projects throughout Saudi Arabia. As you know, Saudi Aramco is undertaking major expansion programs both upstream and downstream, in oil and gas, as well as petrochemicals, with a total investment of more than 90 billion dollars over the next five years. The relationship also involves American oilfield service companies and US manufacturers of a wide array of equipment and material used throughout the petroleum sector. Currently there are more than 300 contracts between Saudi Aramco and US companies, with a total value of about US $11 billion. Moreover, the value of Saudi Aramco annual material procurement from more than 4,000 US companies is around $1 billion.
Besides these purely commercial relationships, however, there are other areas of cooperation between our two countries, which, include sending Saudi petroleum personnel to study and train in the United States and hiring American experts to work in the Saudi oil industry, both inside and outside the Kingdom. Aside from the professional benefits which accrue from these exchanges, they also provide an opportunity for ordinary Americans and Saudis to interact with one another, and to learn more about each other's country and culture.
The petroleum relationship also includes a continuing exchange of ideas and information, technical, bilateral committee visits and meetings, and policy coordination – especially during times of crisis, as was the case during the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990, the US military intervention in Iraq in 2003, the supply interruption of oil production from the Gulf of Mexico and the damage to oil refineries in 2005 as a result of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and more recently the loss of Alaskan production as a result of pipeline damage.
Because of close coordination between our two countries, we together have been able to avoid a major petroleum shock, and perhaps have even averted an economic crisis. Our cooperation also extends to tackling important scientific and environmental issues, which are of concern to all of us. For example, Saudi Arabia is working closely with the US government, American oil companies and US-based research centers to study ways and means to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including groundbreaking work on carbon capture and storage technologies – as will be apparent at the upcoming Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum, which Saudi Arabia will be hosting at the end of this month.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Now I would like to say few words about Saudi Arabia's oil policy. The Kingdom has always stood as a force for moderation in the petroleum markets, and that stance continues. We work very hard to make sure that the global oil market is well supplied and well balanced, and to that end we continue to maintain a spare production capacity of about 2 million barrels per day to be used when there is an unexpected need.
Maintaining that spare capacity requires considerable investment on our part, but in recent years the value of that cushion has been proven in the face of unforeseen supply disruptions, and I believe it has had a very beneficial impact on easing market volatility.
Within this context, I would like to focus on five key points in the Kingdom's international oil and gas policy.
First, Saudi Arabia works with all parties to achieve stability of the world oil market, to reduce market volatility, and to ensure that supply is sufficient to meet demand at all times.
Second, Saudi Arabia is committed to cooperation with energy consumers and producers, as well as with international organizations. While our bilateral relationship with a wide array of consuming countries are deeply rooted and highly valued, our goal is to go beyond this and to create a global movement for joint action on energy issues. In this regard, Saudi Arabia has played an important role in creating a fruitful dialogue between oil producers and consumers. We are gratified to see that this dialogue has led to the creation of the International Energy Forum, with biennial ministerial meetings, a secretariat for the forum which we host in Riyadh, and the Joint Oil Data Initiative which is helping to increase oil market transparency.
The third key point I would like to stress is Saudi Arabia's strong relationship with the international oil industry, which is responsible for timely investments across the petroleum value chain, technological advances and innovation, and the development of the human resources which are at the heart of the oil business. Over the last century, the petroleum industry has been remarkably successful in its industrial and engineering endeavors, and has thus made oil and gas the fuels of choice for consumers around the world and brought greater prosperity to countless communities across the globe.
Given the importance of the global oil industry, Saudi Aramco is working closely with other major oil companies at many levels, including the exchange of information, expertise and knowledge-sharing. The company has trading relationship with more than 50 international petroleum enterprises, ten major petroleum joint ventures with international oil companies, and will be negotiating to create more such ventures over the next few years.
The fourth point concerns our belief that oil and gas will continue to meet much of the world's energy needs for many decades to come. For over a century, petroleum has been the world's fuel of choice and engine of global economic growth, as well as spurring major advances in health and safety, mobility and transportation, and living standards and lifestyle. However, there have been many attempts over the last 35 years to create doubt about the long-term availability and attractiveness of oil as a major source of energy.
As a result of these misplaced fears, billions of dollars have been spent over the years to develop alternative fuels to replace oil, thus far with minimum success and high costs. These efforts are sustained not by economic forces but because of high governmental subsidies.
If we are to develop a realistic roadmap for our energy future – one which ensures we will be able to meet growing global demand for energy in the decades ahead – then we must recognize the central role that petroleum will continue to play and make our investment decisions accordingly.
Fifth, it is essential for the world and its people to have a clean environment and to reduce harmful emissions while at the same time sustaining economic growth and human health and prosperity. There is no doubt that fossil fuels will be a major source of energy for many decades to come, which means our challenge is how to make them cleaner and to lighten the environmental footprint of their production and their consumption.
We believe that technology can and should play an important role in meeting this challenge. In this regard, Saudi Arabia is very active at national and international levels, and on many fronts. For example, just two months ago the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah announced an initiative to allocate $300 million to finance research in energy and environment especially climate change. In addition, one of the major focus areas for the Kingdom's newly created science and research university, the King Abdullah University for Science and Technology, is the development of new technologies related to energy and the environment. Furthermore, this year we will establish in Riyadh the Center for Petroleum Research and Studies, which also will deal with environmental issues.
Finally, we continue to cooperate with many international research institutions, energy companies, universities and governments on the related issues of technology, energy and environment. We believe that these efforts will bear fruit in the coming years in reducing harmful emissions, in protecting the global environment, and in ensuring continued human prosperity and well-being.
Thank you for your attention, and now I would be happy to entertain your questions.

Seattle - Separate state of mind
No, he's not really surprised. In fact, it's what he expected. It has something to do with the taste buds, like when tasting wine, cheese or chocolate. "It takes practise," says Chris Sharp. His guests look helpless and confused. They have just tasted a new variety from the Kenyan highlands: sniffed it, put a spoonful in their mouth, slurped, sloshed it around and even gargled a bit, but, if they're honest, it just tasted like ... coffee! Not like Rwanda Premium or Ethiopia III. Nor can anyone say whether it's different from or even the same as what they started out with. Mr. Sharp isn't surprised.
This group of tourists comes from a small town in the American Midwest and he guesses that the choice of coffees there isn't exactly overwhelming. "Just stay aware over the next few days," he says, softening their disappointment, "and think about what you're drinking, savor it before you swallow! I guarantee that by the end of the week, you will be able to distinguish between at least seven kinds." Where are we? We're at a public coffee tasting in the Victrola Cafe and Roastery owned by Chris Sharp. Chris is a caffeine fan and an "independent coffee roaster" according to his business card. And he's in business in Seattle, naturally.
Nowhere else in the United States do people seek the ultimate caffeine kick like they do here. Close to 100 small roasting companies have made Seattle the country's unsung coffee capital, and there's naturally a Starbucks on every third corner (this is where the chain was founded). Tourists no longer visit Seattle just to explore Pike Place Market, to cheer on the SuperSonics or ride the elevator to the top of the 184-meter Space Needle.
These days, they also come for the coffee. A lot has changed on Lake Washington. Right up to the early 1990s, people tended to, well, overlook Seattle, an in-
dustrial port stricken by recession and tucked away in Washington State. It's over 800 miles to San Francisco and almost a six-hour flight to Miami; New York and LA seem light years away.
But when a local software developer called Microsoft mush- roomed into a mighty market leader and a booming travel industry brought aircraft maker Boeing one jumbo contract after another; when what started as a small online bookseller called Amazon turned into the world's biggest Internet seller, Seattle stepped into the limelight. Suddenly, people started moving there from Boston and Tucson and Fort Lauderdale. Rents went up and property prices skyrocketed.
Before Seattle became the caffeine capital, the only coffee available throughout the United States was a semitransparent brew that tasted like something meant for waterproofing shingles. The moment you swallowed a couple of mouthfuls a waitress rushed up to refill your cup. But once Starbucks began its triumphal procession you could even order a "double skinny dolce latte decaf, no milk, no chocolate, with a shot of caramel syrup" in a place like Wilmerton, Kansas.
Ever since, Starbucks has stood for Seattle although in Seattle itself, hardly anyone goes to Starbucks. Asian tourists may storm the very first outlet of the chain on Pike Place Market, but Seattlites drink their coffee elsewhere. Not at a multinational coffeehouse but at one of the small ones.
Cafés in Seattle are what coffeehouses used to be, long ago, in Vienna and Bu- dapest: a place where people come to debate, to meet, to read and to write. Their popularity is probably also linked to the fact that, for long months of the year, the weather in Seattle forces peopled to seek refuge indoors. People often feel the need for something warm because to say that it rains here frequently is a nasty euphemism – it rains practically all of the time.
And usually in such a way that you know when you get up that it will do so all day long. On days like this, the city feels like it's been caught under a gray lid and the sky is a gray streak that masquerades as dawn or dusk, or even as noontime – you often cannot tell the difference.
But when the skies clear, the snow-capped peaks of the Olympic Mountains rise up on the horizon, the Pacific glittering at their feet like beaten silver. Look the other way and you can see Mount Rainier beyond the skyline looking like someone had painted it against the sky with the scale all wrong.
"The mountain is out!" people will say, and anyone who can will spend the day outdoors. Cafes like the Victrola are prepared for such eventualities and serve iced coffee despite Chris Sharp's personal view that the cold obscures the typical nuances of flavor that distinguish the different beans.

ZF-10914: Zend_XmlRpc_Value converts Integer to String param
Yesterday I've updated ZF from 1.11.1 to 1.11.2 and today morning got some errors with Zend_XmlRpc_Client.
I have remote XML-RPC server that has one of following methods signature:
simulator.copySetupDevices(String dstIp, Integer dstPort, String setupName, String options)
I was using this code to communicate with it:
$client = new Zend_XmlRpc_Client($connectUrl);
$params = array('10.10.1.1', 9999, 'TestReload3', '{}');
$client->call('simulator.copySetupDevices', $params);
Until 1.11.2 it worked fine. But after upgrade I got an exception
No method matching arguments: java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String
I see from here that while passing second argument as PHP Integer, it was converted in ZF to String somewhere.
Debugging the code I found that problem in {{Zend_XmlRpc_Value::getXmlRpcValue()}}.
Auto-detecting type done via
On line 318 we got switch that returns 'int' for our '(int) 9999'.
switch (self::getXmlRpcTypeByValue($value))
That's fine, but switch's case for Integers is {{case 'integer':}} (@line 349), so we bypass it and goto the {{default:}} which is
return new Zend_XmlRpc_Value_String($value)
In ZF 1.11.1 switch was returning 'integer' for Integers because of {{gettype()}}
switch (gettype($value))
I think Matthew missed this when committed new Zend/XmlRpc/Value.php
@version $Id: Value.php 23584 2010-12-28 19:51:49Z matthew $
Proposed solution - change to
case self::XMLRPC_TYPE_INTEGER:
case self::XMLRPC_TYPE_INTEGER:
case 'integer':
better formatting
Meanwhile workaround is to use Zend_XmlRpc_Value_* class
$client = new Zend_XmlRpc_Client($connectUrl);
$params = array(
new Zend_XmlRpc_Value_Integer(9999),
$client->call('simulator.copySetupDevices', $params);
It goes further than just integers.
The Zend_XmlRpc_Value class also appears to have done away with the struct type. So associative arrays are converted to strings too. Note the _phpVarToNativeXmlRpc method and how it is missing a case for 'struct' in the switch statement
switch (self::getXmlRpcTypeByValue($value))
line 318
There is an array type, but no struct type even though the array case very explicitly shows Struct code.
The merge r23584 incomplete fixed with r23624 - thanks.

Police Sgt. Cassandra Davis says 51-year-old Donald Creer and his wife, 57-year-old Donna Creer, died at local hospitals after firefighters responded to the blaze at their home shortly after 3 a.m. Wednesday.
Davis told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (http://bit.ly/14wNOt6 ) that firefighters found the back door of the home unlocked and says the fire is considered arson. The bodies were sent to the Arkansas State Crime Laboratory to determine the causes of death.
Donald Creer was known as a gospel singer and Donna Creer was a longtime gospel radio personality and was the longtime executive director of a committee that oversees the operation of Pulaski County magnet schools.

Believe it or not the article itself is actually a lot worse than even the title implies. These microphones are in many cases being coupled with cameras in order to gain an even greater level of surveillance. All with grants from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Now honestly, does anyone really think this is for Al Qaeda? This is a great follow up to my piece from last week titled: Coming to Your Car: Mandatory Black Boxes That Record Everything.
From Wired:
Transit authorities in cities across the country are quietly installing microphone-enabled surveillance systems on public buses that would give them the ability to record and store private conversations, according to documents obtained by a news outlet.
The systems are being installed in San Francisco, Baltimore, and other cities with funding from the Department of Homeland Security in some cases, according to the Daily, which obtained copies of contracts, procurement requests, specs and other documents.
The systems use cables or WiFi to pair audio conversations with camera images in order to produce synchronous recordings. Audio and video can be monitored in real-time.

Ormond Beach's Jesse Alexander and Jordan Crabb had the catch of a lifetime Wednesday night fishing off a Sanibel beach. The Seabreeze High seniors hooked and landed an estimated 14-foot, 350-pound sawfish — a species so rare it is on the endangered list.
"It was crazy," Alexander said in a telephone interview. "We expected to catch a bull shark or lemon shark. When we saw the three fins, we couldn't believe it."
Crabb said he used a kayak to drop bait, a fish head, in the water about 75 yards from the beach. He was in the process of prepping a second line when the sawfish hit the first line.
"Jesse fought it for the first 30 minutes and I fought it for close to an hour," Crabb said. "We didn't know what it was. We just knew it was something really big and hoping it wasn't a stingray."
The tackle included a steel-cable leader, 50-pound test line and a waist belt to anchor the rod.
"We use the belt because the reel is so heavy," Alexander said.
Chris Alexander, Jesse's father, took charge of removing the fish from the line. He got on the back of the beast and approached the mouth from behind.
"Once we got it on the sand, our main concern was unhooking it, getting a few pictures and not getting hit by the saw," Crabb said.
The two boys guided the beast to waist-deep water.
"It swam away strong," Crabb said.

Grandkids love watching animals....just wish they wouldn't have used that cartoon "world" with British accent, as narrator....just show the animals...and have a voice..(regular American would be easier to understand). National Geo should have the best videos...these seem like they were made a long time ago. Three year old grandson likes...(but wouldn't let him watch the ones where the animals chase, catch, and eat the other animals.) I don't even like to watch that stuff, and I'm a grandma. Please tell us about animals, but you don't have to show us the gory stuff.

Amazing! Animal videos
By Baseball Mom in Midland
from Midland, TX
We owned this series on VHS when my (now 14 yr old) son was young and they were Worn Out! He loved animals and would prefer "Spin" and these animal facts & adventures to other children's videos (even animated ones). They are entertaining & engaging for All Ages. Woderfully presented with original songs, intelligence and humor to convey a vast aray of animal facts and information. A Family Favorite which I have recently purchased for my young nieces to now enjoy on DVD.
This is great!

About Me Grandparent
Have had all of Spin's videos at home for the grandchildren (VHS) for about 13 years and the grandchildren loved them. My youngest son still has small children at home and they recently switched to a DVD only player and they also home school. I wanted the children to be able to still see these and thought they would add to their biology and geography lessons. They are so much fun for children of all ages.
Very disappointing
By Z-mom

My 6 year old grandson is very interested in wild animals and has a great attention span. He was very bored and asked me to change the videos very quickly. It was a waste of money.
great programs
By benedicts4bfast

My sons rec'd this set as a gift and watched it endlessly - it had to come along on any long trip. They enjoyed the talking globe/narrator, Spin, and I was happy to hear Dudley Moore's voice. They are 11 now and still watch it occasionally.

No way around it. Chelsea Handler is a wild ride. Sure, her four New York Times best-selling humor books, whose covers feature the 37-year-old blonde in various saucy poses, deal with the kind of scatological subjects (masturbation, the runs) usually celebrated by male writers in arrested development. She has also created such insane, if memorable, comic characters as a midget waiter sporting a sombrero of chips, tattooed gangbangers on a cruise ship and large black women shrieking as their hair weaves float off into the ocean. (Handler has said that when she began doing stand-up, her first fans were African American. The height challenged and violent criminals have not made their reactions to her humor clear.) If you need any more evidence that this cultural phenomenon is a cruelly misogynistic, antifeminist she-devil: Playboy and Maxim love her, no doubt because she tackles sexuality with the same brand of unabashed vulgarity that they do. But if all that leaves you ready to dismiss her—don't.
Handler's late-night talk show, Chelsea Lately, has garnered more than a million viewers for E!, an audience large enough to inspire a weekly spinoff, After Lately, a faux reality show revolving around Handler and her staff. Even a traditional (and traditionally wary) network has embraced the controversial comic. Are You There, Chelsea? (based on her booze-infused memoir, Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea) debuted on NBC in January. Handler portrays her Mormon sister on the sitcom, which weaves plotlines around unsavory scenes such as the one that has the Chelsea character going to bed with said sister's high school boyfriend, then insisting he compare their sexual performances. While critics have judged the show harshly, her triumph is clear. One would be hard-pressed to name another female star who has been responsible for a trifecta of shows on air in the same season, on two different networks.
And there's evidence that Handler has developed a unique brand of girl power. Fans of the star's boundary-pushing persona are overwhelmingly female, and she has also nurtured a Bridesmaids-like gang of women who write with her and costar in her sold-out stand-up tours. (Typical of their loving but acerbic interactions is Handler's introduction to staffer Sarah Colonna's book Life As I Blow It: "I met Sarah at an improvisation class in the Valley when we were both twenty-one years old. We were magnetically drawn to each other because we both looked like we were in our midforties.") Furthermore, Handler's party-girl irreverence appears to be catching on beyond E!'s target 18-to-34 demographic. On After Lately, no less an icon than Jane Fonda can be seen tossing an F-bomb ("Chelsea has redefined what female late-night talk show liberation looks like, and it is addictive," says Fonda, a fan). On Today, Kathie Lee Gifford reveals that thanks to a visit from Handler back in 2008, the show now often offers cocktails to guests.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by DrJP Comfortable and look Great Easy to put together. However, leg, hardware and tools are hidden in underseat compartment. Once you find them it is cake. They are very comfortable and look great. Make a small room with low ceilings look bigger. Have purchased 4 and am back for more. JP July 25, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Iain Solid and comfortable I bought two of these as guest chairs for the new office I am outfitting. They serve the purpose just fine. They would probably get a five-star rating if it weren't for the fact that one of the chairs doesn't sit entirely level. I think one of the front legs or one of the back legs is a bit longer than the other, and it makes for a slight rock. It's really nothing noticeable when someone is actually sitting in it, so I don't have a huge complaint. Other than that, they look great, and the price was unquestionably right. You could expect to pay a lot more for something like this somewhere else. (I know. I did the research.) Ordering with World Market seems to be a bit of a chaotic experience, with things getting shoved on back order and a few failures of communication on shipping, but they do seem to get the job done eventually. I really can't gripe too much, as I've outfitted just about my entire office from there--desk, work table, printer table, and guest chairs. The logistical difficulties are not enough to distract from the value. May 9, 2013

News: Frederick Shatters 2 School Swim Records At Season-Opening SCC Pentathlon
In the history of Pasadena City College athletics, it is hard to find a student-athlete with a more dynamic collegiate debut than women's freshman swimmer Emily Frederick. On Friday, Feb. 15, the Lancers opened the 2013 season in the South Coast Conference Pentathlon held at East Los Angeles College's Swim Stadium.
Frederick won an amazing four different stroke events and in the process broke two school records in the 100-yard individual medley and 50-yard backstroke. Frederick, who was home-schooled and swam for a Monrovia club team in her prep years, captured the 100 IM with a new PCC standard of 1 minute, 1.23 seconds, breaking the previous mark of 1:02.60 set just last year by Mikela Velasquez.
Her 29.16 seconds mark in the 50-back eclipsed the mark of 29.37 set by Joelle Johnson in 2004. Frederick also won the 50-butterfly in a time of 27.13, just .04 of a second shy of Malia Garcia's school record in 2008 (27.09). Finally, Frederick won the 100-freestyle in 54.75, which is only .44 off the PCC record set two years ago by Julia Warden (54.31).
Frederick's accomplishments overshadowed another strong PCC/college debut by Arolyn Basham, a member of the La Salle High CIF Southern Section Division 4 champion team in her senior prep season last year. Basham won the 50-yard breaststroke and tied a 17-year old PCC record set by Mary Morgan (1996) of 32.84 seconds. Frederick took fourth in that event. Basham also was second to Frederick in the 50-butterfly at 28.30.
Shannon Cheung, from South Pasadena, placed second in three events and third in one other. Cheung swam 1:03.87 in the 100 IM, 29.45 in the 50-backstroke, 56.20 in the 100-free and was third in the 50-fly at 28.33.
Paige Watroba, a returning sophomore out of Laguna Beach High, completes the tiny four-person squad of Lancers' swimmers. However, the team is also carrying divers in Shelby Gregg and Claire Nolan (both from Crescenta Valley High), and Gwen McKinley, who scored 120.70 points to finish sixth at the SCC Pentathlon 1-meter diving held at El Camino College on Saturday.
Although the swim meet was a non-scoring event, the Lancers would have won the team standings with the most overall points despite the small numbers participating.
Stephen To, the returning CCCAA state champion in the 200-yard butterfly, won the 100-butterfly (52.80 seconds) for the lone PCC men's team event win at the SCC Penthatlon.
Sophomore Michael Chiodo swam third in the 100-backstroke (58.99) and was fifth in the 200 individual medley (2:03.13), finishing a full second behind To's third place swim in the event. To (San Marino High) and Chiodo (Kennedy High) are the team's co-captains.
Christopher Anderson finished an impressive third place in the 3-meter diving with 168.70 points while taking fourth in the 1-meter dive (154.20 points) at the SCC Pentathlon Diving held Feb. 16.
Darrin Smith (Maranatha High), Michael Fuller (from Idaho), and Tanick Nitinthorn (Temple City High) are freshmen swimmers who round out the Lancers' men's squad.
"We have two smaller groups in the men and women, but the quality of our athletes are up," said PCC head coach Terry Stoddard. "It's a close-knit group that trains very well together. The potential is there to score strong at the state meet. To is an exceptional returning swimmer on the men's side. All four of our women are outstanding talents in the pool. One other thing we do have this year is divers in both genders, which is always a plus in team scoring."

Rated 4 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Janarama Exotic chess set I love all the detail on this board, the painting of the elephants, camel and tiger were clear and colorful. The border on the chess board is nicely painted also. The paint is not a glossy finish, more rustic in texture, and some minor inconstancy in the finish gave it character. I was a bit disappointed in the small size and lack of detail in the chess pieces, but for the value could probably just go find another set to replace it later. The pieces came in a nice cloth bag. January 15, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by 007 Painted Elephant Wook Chess Set This chess set is really cool. It is made to look a bit worn/old which I like. However it says elephant chess set and it does have elephants it also has horses. In addition the peices are not wood/white and black they are wood/white and red. This is not necessarity a bad thing though because the red peices go really well with the set but if you want black then you don't want this set. Also the knights are not the junky 2D ones pictured they are 3D actual knights. April 7, 2012

Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
To Conduct Cellular Censuses Sequence Deeply...
Data analysis and diagnostic testing company Ariana Pharma joined the IMODI (Innovative Models Initiative) consortium and will receive €1.2 million (roughly $1.55 million) in funding under the French Government's "Investing for the Future" program.
IMODI is a national collaborative project in France with the goal of enabling the development of new drugs and personalized medicine approaches in cancer by creating an industrial-scale pipeline that characterizes, standardizes, and makes use of predictive cancer models. Its total cost is estimated to be €41 million (approximately $53 million). The concept of personalized medicine is the cornerstone of the IMODI project, which will receive a public investment of €13.4 million (around $17.3 million). The IMODI project is coordinated by Oncodesign and now brings together four SMEs (Ariana Pharma, Oncodesign, Oncomedics, and CTI Biotech), six industrial groups (including Sanofi and Ipsen), and seven academic institutions (including INSERM [French National Institute for Health and Medical Research] and CNRS [French National Center for Scientific Research]).
Starting with the experimental data generated by the program, Ariana will develop algorithms that identify signals associated with cancer and implement them into predictive tools with the aim of improving patient management. Ariana will also deploy its KEM® (Knowledge Extraction & Management) technology, used by FDA since 2010, to analyze pharmacogenomic data in tandem with patient characteristics.
Using Ariana Pharma's technology, IMODI will develop diagnostic tests that match each individual patient to the appropriate treatment. Ariana Pharma aims to create predictive tools to identify tumor, immunological, and microbiotic biomarkers, and will also will help establish a centralized biobank.
"IMODI and Ariana Pharma share the goal of facilitating the selection of new and effective treatments using a personalized medicine approach," said Mohammad Afshar, CEO of Ariana Pharma. "Our solutions will make it possible to identify biomarker combinations that are impossible to detect using traditional statistical methods and to optimize data so as to best use them for patients."

I admit it. I was wrong.
Back in May, I wrote a blog questioning why former UCF quarterback Daunte Culpepper chose the UFL over retirement with his NFL career on the decline.
Apparently, the payoff for an UFL quarterback isn't so bad. All six franchise players, including former Pro Bowl quarterback Jeff Garcia, make $200,000 and the average player makes $55,000 for the eight-game season according to UFL commissioner Michael Huyghue.
The second season of the UFL has seen growth in the talent level of its athletes. Each team has an average of 24 former NFL players and attendance has grown from an average of 9,678 to 16,638 fans according to USA Today.
But there are bigger opportunities Huyghue is looking to create within the UFL. He wants to put more retired athletes in the front office and specifically give them opportunities to own teams.
Though no formal announcement has been made yet, retired Washington Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann told the Orlando Sentinel earlier this week he was close to signing an ownership deal with the Florida Tuskers. The Tuskers are worth $20 million this year and will raise to $30 million next season Huyghue said.
"One of my biggest complaints when I was at the NFL was I didn't think we did a good enough job of going after our former players and putting them in front office positions," said Huyghue, a former Vice President for the Detroit Lions and Jacksonville Jaguars.
Huyghue first hired former Super Bowl XXII MVP quarterback Doug Williams to work for the Jaguars before Williams joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' front office in 2004. Williams signed on to become a general managerfor one of the UFL's newest expansion teams in Norfolk, Virginia.
"We're innovative, we're new," Huyghue said. "We can try things like that and give opportunities to people that otherwise might not get that chance."

Although I focus on the corruption endemic in my homeland – the Banana Republic of the United States – I have been clear to point out that crony capitalism and the rule of oligarchs is a global phenomenon that we all must deal with together as a species. In this report from Al Jazeera, we meet Arvind Kejriwal, a former mechanical engineer fighting the local cronies. Here's a bit of what the man dubbed as "India's Julian Assange" is up to:
In the last fortnight, he has released details and leveled charges four times against top Indian politicians and the country's biggest business conglomerate.
"We want to turn the power structure upside-down and make the powerful accountable," Kejriwal, 44, a thin man with a moustache and piercing eyes, said.
On October 5, Kejriwal made a public accusation against Robert Vadra, son-in-law of Congress party president Sonia Gandhi. He claimed that Vadra had purchased property worth millions of dollars with "interest free unsecured free loan" by DLF, India's major construction company. DLF's market value dropped in a single day to the tune of $580m following the accusation.
Then, on October 17, Kejriwal targeted the opposition party, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He accused party president Nitin Gadkari of land grabbing by colluding with the ruling party in the western state of Maharashtra, and exploiting poor farmers to further his business interests in real estate.
Critics say that Kejriwal has been acting like a political novice by releasing a slew of allegations that may not come to much. Khurshid, for once, has said that Kejriwal was "an ant taking on the might of an elephant".
To his credit, Kejriwal's accusations seem to have emboldened the people, created awareness, and incited the press to pursue and investigate the allegations.
Hmmm…elite oligarchs buying assets with government sanctioned interest free loans. Sound familiar?

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (Feb. 24, 2006) - Senior Ashley Barton (Seffner, Fla.) fired a team-best, 3-over-par 75 as the ETSU women's golf team finished 12th after the first round of the Lady Puerto Rico Classic at the Dorado Del Mar Golf Club.
Barton is eight strokes off the pace set by North Carolina's Ann Laney, who fired a 4-under 68 Friday and tops the individual leaderboard by three strokes. In the team competition, Purdue currently leads by two strokes over Kent State after posting a 5-over 295 score.
Along with Barton, who is tied for 17th, sophomore Maria Ringdahl (Oland, Sweden) is tied for 46th with a 79, while senior Laura Diaz (Aguadilla, P.R.) is tied for 59th.
The Lady Bucs will continue with second round play at the Lady Puerto Rico Classic on Saturday. Visit ETSUBucs.com for a complete round up of the day's play each evening.

Michigan Trees
Burton V. Barnes and Warren H. Wagner, Jr.
University of Michigan Press
The number-one book for tree identification in Michigan and the Great Lakes
If you buy one tree guide this year, this should be it. Now in its tenth decade of publication, Michigan Trees is the must-have reference book for anyone who wants to learn about the trees of this unique North American region. Written and illustrated in a style that appeals to botanists, ecologists, and amateur naturalists alike, Michigan Trees gives readers everything they need to know for identifying the trees of the Great Lakes.
Tree identification is a matter of knowing what characteristics to look for and where the tree is growing—its home place in the landscape. Elegant line drawings, contrasting key characters, and vegetative keys to genera and species all encourage reliable year-round identification.
The updated edition adds thirteen tree species, including three of the rarest: pumpkin ash, shumard oak, and swamp cottonwood. In addition to its new sections on fall color and hybridization, Michigan Trees calls attention to counterparts of the region's trees that are worldwide in the Northern Hemisphere. Travel in the forests of the world is fascinating; in the North American West, Europe, and east Asia you are likely to find a tree friend reminding you of home -- just the names have been changed!
Since it first appeared in 1913, Michigan Trees has inspired thousands with its comprehensive scope and definitive information on trees; this new edition will surely encourage the next generation to visit and learn about the leafy inhabitants of the woods, forests, and parks of Michigan and the Great Lakes region.
Burton V. Barnes is Stephen H. Spurr Professor of Forestry in the School of Natural Resources and Environment at the University of Michigan. He is best known for his love of field teaching and his research and publications in forest and landscape ecology.
Warren H. Wagner, Jr., was a world authority on ferns. He had been Professor Emeritus of Botany and Natural Resources at the University of Michigan and a member of the National Academy of Sciences before his death at the age of eighty in 2000.
Hardcover $65.00; Paperback $19.95 - Available from the University of Michgan Press

you can't easily repair a trade deficit other than by subsidies to domestic industries and tariffs which have obvious problems
manual labor took off. unless you want to work for the government. most of my family does.
Is this why the government's in a mess? (Sorry! Couldn't resist it)
But just saying that my economics teacher was celebrating today because it meant that we wouldn't be going into a recession since you'll keep buying our stuff.
I don't think the solution is to focus more on domestic expenditure-switching, but instead to improve your exports so that it can appeal to the global market.
What do we as americas have as definitive american exports though, westerns, baseball, and warfare. At LEAST one of those hasn't worked out for us recently.
I posted the link.
but here's what they are
$1.27 trillion (2010 est.)
country comparison to the world: 4
$1.069 trillion (2009 est.)
agricultural products (soybeans, fruit, corn) 9.2%, industrial supplies (organic chemicals) 26.8%, capital goods (transistors, aircraft, motor vehicle parts, computers, telecommunications equipment) 49.0%, consumer goods (automobiles, medicines) 15.0%
agricultural products 4.9%, industrial supplies 32.9% (crude oil 8.2%), capital goods 30.4% (computers, telecommunications equipment, motor vehicle parts, office machines, electric power machinery), consumer goods 31.8% (automobiles, clothing, medicines, furniture, toys)
We have a problem with Japan too.
We're already the leading manufacturing nation, it's just that we import too much. The two largest imports for America is oil and coffee...
Can't we grow coffee?
We don't have the right climate anywhere.
I learned that we have managed to grow tea.
Only if we could make a strain of coffee grow here. Maybe if I get to be a geneticist I will try an work on this.
At this point experiments in botany probably is going to fix our debt problem.
Flame,Troll and Spoil
We have enough room to grow more crops. I saw alot of unused spaces in my recent travels. but I'm worried we don't have enough jobs for everyone here.
Normal jobs can be hard to get. Target requires an online test and 3 interviews before you are hired. I had a tea shop tell me I would have a better chance of getting hired if I took some collage courses. That job was to stock shelves.
Anything out side of food jobs are becoming retardant hard to apply for.
I know it wasn't this bad 5 years ago and it was nonexistent 10 years ago.
I hate to say it but I place some of the blame on technology.
Flame,Troll and Spoil
How do we have enough food when right now 600,000 people in Somalia are about to die of starvation.
And hitting closer to home, most of our food needs cheap oil to harvest, plant, make pesicides, and even mulch. In a few years food will be even harder to make and there will be less of it.
So excuse me if I feel we would be wasting our time growing coffee.
I said we have enough land to grow food other countries either don't know how to farm, are too busy bickering with each other to grow crop, have bad soil or are in the wrong climate. The last one is probably the biggest issue.
I don't think to much oil is wasted on planting food I think more of our oil goes to cars and power plants. Don't forget we still collect our own oil. Sometimes oil pumps are on farms.
at least where I live. There is no such thing as a food shortage right now. There would have been one if their wasn't a green revolution.
Flame,Troll and Spoil
700,000 people lived in my old city which was a small dot on the map
600,000 some odd people live in Montana which is slightly smaller then JAPAN, J-A-P-A-N. And most of the people in that state are hunters. I think America could go for another 200 years without a food shortage along as we don't have a natural disaster
Flame,Troll and Spoil
600,000 is a pretty big number of people that might flat out die without food.
The total population of the US is just over 300,000,000, so 700,000 is no small dot, thats almost a million people there.
Fact is, before big oil our population and food production was 1/4 of the size it is today. There is some correlation between those, heck its a known fact that since oil a since plot of dirt will produce 3 or 4 times as much food, without oil we will have to go back to food levels of 1890. So I think its in our best interest in the long term to worry more about hard food production then coffee.
Its not even that long term either since in 10 years oil will be unaffordable.
No, No, No, what changed our crop out put was the green revolution that came after the Dust Bowl. All food was homogenized for best out put and flavor. Do you ever wonder why all the chickens, ducks, and geese in the stores are white when the species that you are eating might normally be gray or multicolored?
yeah that is alot of people who are starving but there are at least 1.2 mill that turned out for the fire works over there. I have a good idea what a number that size looks like since I had to walk through the crowds. I like to say you're not having a party untill there are at least 200,000 people partying.
300,000,000 is a number I don't think either of us can wrap our heads around. I think it can't really be compaired to numbers in the 100 thousands.
Flame,Troll and Spoil
The wise words of Warren Buffett.
I saw that when politicians say tax the rich they were really taxing the upper middle class. This is not what the average population thinks when they say rich. And that's why this country is divided and fuck up.
Flame,Troll and Spoil
I just checked the CIA fact book. we use 20% of our land for growing crop.
with some other calculation and our current population we can add at least
150,000,000 people and still feed everyone on a yearly basis.
Why we have that much surplus crop? I haven't figured out where all of it's going.

Projects are evil. Teachers assign big-ass ones to you and then expect you to do the whole thing without any problems. But so far I've run into nothing but problems with my goddamn science project.
First I decide to do a project on hybrids. So our class went to a local college's library and there were no, and I mean NO, books on hybrids. So I spent two hours there looking for books they didn't have. Eventually, just before we leave, I convinced my teacher to let me do a different subject, but then I'm rushed to find books on it because we have to get back in time for lunch. Eventually I find two books and we head back to school.
Later that night I began reading the books, and THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH MY NEW SUBJECT. Goddammit. I mistook "Handbook for Cross-Cultural Psychopathology" for having to do with psychopaths (Antisocial Personality Disorder), but nooooo, it has to do with ALL of the disorders. Antisocial Personality Disorder was only briefly mentioned.
My other book had to do with human genes. It was completely unreadable. "R2 and R1 mate and produce blargh blarhg blarhgh child becomes mutated blah blah blah".
On top of that, there's very few articles on antisocial personality genetics that I really need on the internet. So I decided to switch to albinism, and there's lots of stuff on that... but too much. I'll never be able to get all my notes done - they're due tomorrow. I'm so fucked.

The Biale Family
For over seventy years beginning in 1937 the Biale family has grown Zinfandel and a variety of produce on their farm located on the outskirts of the town of Napa. A large population of white leghorn chickens once produced a steady supply of eggs that a young Aldo Biale regularly delivered around town to customers. Most of the Zinfandel grapes were sold to Napa wineries but some grapes were reserved so Aldo could make homemade wine for family and relatives. In 1953 Aldo met his future wife Clementina while on a trip to Italy where his mother, Christina was from. Aldo and Clementina were soon married and began raising their family in Napa in 1954.

Maryland Tops Baseball in Saturday Doubleheader
Box Score - Game Two
Late offensive production was not enough Saturday, as the Princeton baseball team was swept by Maryland in doubleheader action. The Terrapins handed the Tigers a 16-3 loss in the early game and employed a five-run seventh inning rally to drop Princeton 9-2 to conclude the afternoon.
The Tigers (0-3) and Terps (8-3) conclude the four-game series on Sunday at 3:30 p.m.
Game One
The game unraveled for the Tigers from the get-go, as Maryland opened with base runners reaching on two wild pitches, two hit basemen and a walk to score a pair of runs. The Terrapins tallied eight runs off three hits to put Princeton in a hole in the first inning.
It took until the fourth for the Tigers to see a base runner advance past second. Leadoff hitter Alec Keller broke up Maryland's shutout with a home run down the right field line, providing Princeton its first run of the 2013 campaign.
Keller had two of the Tigers' four hits in the game.
With runners on first and second, Ryan Albert hit an RBI double to right center to score Tyler Servais. It was Albert's second double in as many games.
Princeton debuted a pair of freshmen on the mound in Cameron Mingo and Luke Strieber. Mingo threw 4.0 innings and struck out four, while Striber had a strikeout over 3.2 innings of work.
Game Two
Princeton held a 10-8 hit differential, but stranded 12 base runners and committed an error in its 9-2 game two loss.
After two scoreless innings, the Terrapins capitalized loading the bases on a pair of walks and a hit batter against Tiger starter Kevin Link (0-1). A K.J. Hockaday RBI fielder's choice and a Kyle Convissar RBI single put Maryland up 2-0 heading to the third.
The Terps added two more runs in the fourth inning, before reliever Tyler Foote held them scoreless in the fifth and sixth.
Princeton found a momentum pull in the top of the seventh. Consecutive doubles down the left field line by Alex Flink and Keller gave the Tigers their first run. Danny Hoy advanced Keller to third on a single and Mike Ford added Princeton's second run on a sacrifice fly to center field. Princeton was unable to extend the inning and cut down the Terrapins' lead, stranding three runners.
After working to make it a two-run game, Maryland scored five runs on four hits and a Tiger error in the seventh to reroute the momentum back to the home side for good.
Freshman Chris Bodurian made his Tiger debut in the ninth, holding Maryland hitless over his inning of work.
Billy Arendt, Flink, Keller and Johnny Mishu each went 2-for-4 to lead the Princeton offense.

Gardening Articles: Care :: Tools & Equipment
Quiet Lawn Mowers (page 2 of 2)
by National Gardening Association Editors
Is a Cordless Electric for You?
Although the typical lawn won't pose any problems for these mowers, assess your situation before investing. Cordless electric mowers are best for flat lawns that are smaller than 10,000 square feet and composed of cool-season grasses such as Kentucky bluegrass, fine and tall fescues, and perennial ryegrasses.
These mowers can also be hard to push up sloping lawns. Although they're not heavy in comparison to standard mowers, only the Ryobi among the cordless electric rotary mowers is self-propelled.
The more power required, the less time batteries last. For example, if your lawn is lush and thick, or if you let it grow tall before mowing, assume batteries will last for 5,000 square feet or so. If your lawn is easier to mow, most cordless electrics can handle up to 10,000 square feet of lawn.
If you have Bermuda or St. Augustine grass, and prefer a short, manicured cut, the McLane 20-EC is your best option. Battery-powered and self-propelled, it is also the only reel-type mower in this group.
Cordless electrics use only $3 or $4 of electricity a year, about what you spend using a toaster for the same period. Gasoline mowers cost $20 to $30 a year in gas and oil. Tune-ups cost from $50 to $200. Even when you also figure the cost of battery replacement every 5 to 7 years, cordless electrics can still cost one-third less than gas mowers in annual expenses.
Batteries and Power. Cordless mowers gener come with one to three 12-volt, lead-acid batteries (12-, 24-, and 36-volt models). The two Lawnboy cordless electric mowers have 6-volt batteries. But the actual voltage (or power) delivered to the motor depends on amperage. For example, a 12-volt mower with high amperage can mow longer than a 36-volt mower with low amps.
Power is a function of battery type, blade and deck design, and power transfer. All manufacturers exploit computer-aided design techniques to optimize blades' weight and shape and decks' contours. Toro and Black & Decker claim that their cordless mowers have more torque than a 5-horsepower gas engine.
Ryobi, Toro, Black & Decker, and Sears build the recharger into the mower, which simplifies recharging: You simply plug the mower into the wall with an extension or provided cord.
It takes between 12 and 24 hours (overnight) to fully charge most mowers, though a 3-hour charge will give you about 20 to 30 minutes of cutting time. Expect the batteries to last about 5 to 7 years. Ask dealers about the cost of replacement battery packs; costs vary from $60 to $200 each.
Batteries might lose power when they're stored for a long time. To store most models during winter where temperatures fall below 40oF., charge the battery overnight, then disconnect the mower from the charger until the next mowing season (up to 6 months). If temperatures generally stay above 40oF. where you live, leave the battery connected or plugged in year-round. However, check the owner's manual for specific storage directions.
Run time. Manufacturers' "run time" numbers are only estimates. How long a machine will run depends on the height and texture of the grass, moisture levels, and the terrain. Cutting relatively dry lawns takes a lot less energy than cutting lush, wet turf. Also keep in mind that all but two of the cordless electrics listed in the chart are push-types, not self-propelled.
As a general rule, if amperage is equal, 12-volt batteries provide 30 to 40 minutes of mowing time; 24-volt mowers last 40 to 75 minutes; and 36-volt mowers run for up to 90 minutes.
Recharging systems vary by model. Some mowers come with a separate recharger, a device that stays plugged into an outlet, into which you place the battery pack for recharging. For instance, the Yard-Man 798 comes with two 12-volt batteries, but the mower works with only one at a time. One battery stays on the recharger while the other one is in use. Two others, the Snapper BP1800 and the Husqvarna 43RC come with a similar, separate recharger, but the second battery pack is not included. To improve battery longevity, keep the blade sharp, and avoid low cutting by raising the blade on adjustable models.
Weight. Most of the models in the chart weigh between 46 and 85 pounds (not including the 140-pound McLane 20-EC). Battery-powered mowers weigh less than typical gas-powered mowers, but only two, the Ryobi BMD2418 and the McLane, are self-propelled. Even the comparatively light 75-pound electric feels heavy if you're pushing it up a hill.
Swath. The deck sizes vary from 16 to 20 inches on the mowers in our chart. Only the Sears Craftsman at 20 inches comes close to a typical gas-engine mower. This means that if you mow your lawn in about 40 minutes with a 21-inch gas-powered mower, it will take perhaps another 5 to 10 minutes with a narrower one.
Special features. Almost all of the models available as the article is written in January, 1997, come with rechargers included in the purchase price. Mowers without rechargers must be plugged into a wall when you have to recharge their batteries. Most have power gauges that show the charge level, so you know how much power (and mowing time) may be left before the battery needs another charge.
Decide which features make sense for your lawn and preferences. And if cleaner air and quieter mowing are also priorities for you, the cordless electrics may be the way to go when you buy your mower.

ZF-6156: $_minPrefixLength in Zend_Search_Lucene_Search_Query_Wildcard for ZF-3321breaks the search
the new $_minPrefixLength functionality added in to fix ZF-3321 may break many peoples searches with the default set to 3, I would think this should be changed to 0.
using :
$searchIndex = Zend_Search_Lucene::open($config->datafiles->directory . 'search-index'); Zend_Search_Lucene::setDefaultSearchField('title'); $filter = new Zend_Filter_Word_SeparatorToSeparator(' ','* '); $searchCriteria = $filter->filter($searchCriteria); $query = Zend_Search_Lucene_Search_QueryParser::parse(''.$searchCriteria.'*'); $searchResults = $searchIndex->find($query, 'title', SORT_STRING);
after upgrading to 1.7.7 all my search returned was "At least 3 non-wildcard terms are required." regardless of what anyone was searching for.
I had to add the following in above the call to the QueryParser to fix this issue:
The lack of documentation for this new functionality certainly didn't help
Setting it to 0 by default allows things like searches for * AND * AND * (and longer) which allows each user to easily let the script run for a long time and consume lots of memory until memory_limit or max_execution_time is reached.
I think security here should come first to not allow those things if the user not explicitly wants it.
This behavior is documented now.
