ZF-3837: insert() don't return last_insert_id when empty key exists in inserted data
example with MySQL:
customer (
id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
title text NOT NULL,
class Customer extends Zend_Db_Table_Abstract { protected _sequence = true; // defaul behavior }
$data=('id'=>null, 'title'=>'xxx');
$table = new Customer(); $table->insert($data);
Mysql is ignoring empty 'id' and using auto value, framework (Zend/Db/Table/Abstract.php) don't expects it:
if ($this->_sequence === true && !isset($data[$pkIdentity])) {
$data[$pkIdentity] = $this->_db->lastInsertId();
Maybe, empty() test will be better.
1.6.1 1.7.3 1.7.5 1.7.6 1.7.7 1.7.8 1.8.1 1.8.2 1.8.3 1.8.4 Next mini relase (again)
Could anybody please explain what's going on here? This issue has been updated so many times that in that same timeframe it could have been fixed. Please either fix it, close it as wont-fix, or set a realistic 'fix version'.
@Dolf Schimmel: I totally second that. And it got bumped again, to version 1.9.1. And guess what... It's not fixed. Again.
Updating to "Should Have" in "Next Mini Release". Changing to "Major" priority.
this happens also in 1.9.2, i think the only workaround is to create a new array with no empty elements
Looking into this, and strange thing is that 'id' should be emptied by the following code (above the actual insertion)
* If the primary key can be generated automatically, and no value was
* specified in the user-supplied data, then omit it from the tuple.
if (array_key_exists($pkIdentity, $data) && $data[$pkIdentity] === null) {
So the isset($data[$pkIdentity]) as mentioned above should fail anyway, even when given null, since it's being unset in that case. Trying to replicate the behavior..
There is a actually test case named testTableInsert() inside Zend/Db/Table/TestCommon.php which uses the exact scenario described, and it succeeds. And I can't seem to get it to fail under any condition; anyone else with more 'luck'? Otherwise, this might not be an issue.
public function testTableInsert()
$table = $this->_table['bugs'];
$row = array (
'bug_id' => null,
'bug_description' => 'New bug',
'bug_status' => 'NEW',
'created_on' => '2007-04-02',
'updated_on' => '2007-04-02',
'reported_by' => 'micky',
'assigned_to' => 'goofy',
'verified_by' => 'dduck'
$insertResult = $table->insert($row);
$lastInsertId = $this->_db->lastInsertId();
$this->assertEquals($insertResult, $lastInsertId);
$this->assertEquals(5, $lastInsertId);
Tried scenarios (using mysqli driver): * changing bug_id column from IDENTIFIER to 'INT(11) NOT NULL auto_increment' * adding $_sequence = true to My_ZendDbTable_TableBugs * commenting out "protected $_primary = 'bug_id';" in My_ZendDbTable_TableBugs * replacing $_primary with "array('bug_id')" * changing table type from InnoDB to MyISAM
The function dbAdapter->lastInsertId() is OK, the problem is with the return value of the function dbtable->insert()
$ php test.php returnedKey is 0, but lastInsertId is 55
$ cat test.php
require_once 'Zend/Db/Table.php';
require_once 'Zend/Db/Table/Abstract.php';
require_once 'Zend/Db.php';
$dbAdapter = Zend_Db::factory('mysqli',array(
'host' => '127.0.0.1',
'port' => '3306',
'username' => 'root',
'password' => '',
'dbname' => 'test'
class customer extends Zend_Db_Table_Abstract {
protected $_sequence = true; // default behavior
protected $_primary = 'id';
$data['id']=0; //mysql documentation: It is not even changed if you update another AUTO_INCREMENT column with a nonmagic value (that is, a value that is not NULL and not 0).
$table = new customer;
$primary_key=$table->insert($data); //@return mixed The primary key of the row inserted.
$lastInsertId = $dbAdapter->lastInsertId();
echo "returnedKey is $primary_key, but lastInsertId is $lastInsertId\n";
That should be discovered by
$this->assertEquals($insertResult, $lastInsertId);
In your code, you set $data['id'] to 0 (zero), not null. This would not be unset and would explain the behavior (if the mysqli adapter does convert 0 -> null at some point). Could you test with $data['id'] = null and confirm if that works?
If I insert 0 as row key directly into MySQL, it is true that is considers it as NULL and thus creates an auto incremented key. This could be easily patched by checking for $data[$pkIdentity] == null instead of === null
You're right, null value works correctly now. But other empty values returns a bad result: string '', integer 0, array(). Also everything what isn't number: string 'fsdfdsfs' etc.
It's not only "feature" of php adapter, I get the same results from the terminal client.
The behavior can be also changed: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/…
Solution could be to call the function last_insert_id() before and after the insert(), compare the values and in case of change use the new value as the primary_key.
Actually, empty values like string "" and array() would be detected when using the == operator instead of the ==== operator. I don't think an input of "fsdfsdgsf" would be wanted anyway when using sequence = true. Maybe should give some Exception, but I'm not sure. I will talk to Ralph or Matthew to decide if loosening the check is wanted tomorrow.
I've attached a test suite patch which, in my mind anyway, proves that this bug no longer exists.
In the test, I set 'bug_id' to an empty string then perform the insert. The return value of insert() is the correct auto value.
This test passed when using both sqlite in-memory and pdo_mysql adapters.
Duplicate of ZF-2953
Fix in trunk r23878
Fixed in release branch 1.11 in r23949
I am receiving the same issue now when the data field is a Zend_Db_Expr('NULL'). This should not stop the db_table to return the new primary key.
$row = array (
'bug_id' => Zend_Db_Expr('NULL'),
'bug_description' => 'New bug',
'bug_status' => 'NEW',
'created_on' => '2007-04-02',
'updated_on' => '2007-04-02',
'reported_by' => 'micky',
'assigned_to' => 'goofy',
'verified_by' => 'dduck'
This causes insert() to return a Zend_Db_Expr('NULL') object, that cannot be the desired behaviour?

Oregon dropped a pair of road games this past week falling 67-47 to Utah on Friday night before an 84-59 loss at No. 21 Colorado on Sunday afternoon.
Liz Brenner posted her second double-double of the season with 11 points and a new career-best of 15 rebounds to pace UO against Utah. The Ducks maintained a 45-38 advantage on the glass, but the Utes had the edge for points off turnovers (18-7) and second-chance points (14-9).
In the loss to the Buffaloes, UO was led offensively by Amanda Delgado (15 points) and Danielle Love (14 points) who combined to score 29 of UO's 59 points. Brenner added a team-best 10 rebounds. The Ducks made 38.6 percent from the field (22-of-57) and shot a season-high 44.4 percent on 3-pointers (8-of-18).
Ariel Thomas has missed nine games, including the last three, and UO is winless this year without her. Thomas is averaging 10.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.6 steals per game when healthy.
In UO's victories, Thomas has upped her averages to 16.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 3.0 steals per outing.
The team's numbers have also received a boost with her in the lineup. Oregon's rebounding margin has improved from -1.9 to +3.2. The Ducks' scoring margin bettered by 4.2 points. The overall field goal percentage is up from .331 to .346 and the 3-point percentage has improved from .256 to .276.
Thomas has scored 20 points on two occasions and reached double-figures in nine of the 15 games. She has led the team in assists 13 times, while leading the team in scoring on six occasions. The 5-6 guard is also one of just five different Ducks to have led the team in rebounding.
Liz Brenner was the recipient of the Bill Hayward Award which is given to the outstanding amateur athlete with a state of Oregon background -- high school, college or by residency -- whose accomplishments brought credit to the state in the calendar year 2012. The Oregon Sports Awards were held Sunday, Feb. 10 at the Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Ore. Brenner could not attend because of UO's travel schedule returning from the Utah-Colorado road trip.
Oregon is second in the Pac-12 for 3-pointers made, while ranking third in blocked shots and fifth in free throw shooting.
The Ducks are averaging 5.9 made 3-pointers per outing and have 142 on the year. Amanda Delgado ranks third in the league with 50 total 3-pointers and 2.6 per game. Delgado is listed at 38th in the NCAA rankings.
UO (105 blocks, 4.4 bpg) is led in blocks by Jillian Alleyne (32, 1.3 bpg) and Megan Carpenter (29, 1.2 bpg) who rank fifth and eighth respectively.
The Ducks have made 69.3 percent from the free throw line (284-of-410). Devyn Galland has the best individual percentage in the Pac-12 at 87.5 percent (63-of-72). UO players would rank No. 1 and No. 2 in that category, but Danielle Love (91.5 percent, 43-of-47) does not have enough attempts to qualify for the league rankings. Galland ranks 19th nationally while Love would rank ninth but doesn't meet the minimum requirements.
Jillian Alleyne's (12.2 rpg) has dropped to second in the Pac-12 Conference rebound rankings after leading the league for the first 13 weeks of the season. Stanford's Chiney Ogwumike is the new league-leader at 12.4 rebounds per outing. Alleyne (293 total rebounds) is just four boards behind Ogwumike (297 total rebounds).
Alleyne is seeking to become the first player in school history to lead the conference in rebounding. In fact, the only other freshman player to lead the conference on the glass was Arizona's Shawntinice Polk who pulled down 10.8 rebounds per game in the 2002-03 campaign.
Alleyne has recorded four of the top six single-game rebounding efforts of any Pac-12 player this season (27, 23, 19, 18). She totaled 19 rebounds in UO's win over Samford, while grabbing 18 rebounds in Oregon's road loss to Illinois. Alleyne came off the bench to grab a game-high 23 boards, eight of the offensive variety, against No. 13 Oklahoma. She grabbed a school and Pac-12 record 27 boards against Portland State on Nov. 15 (more info on that game listed on page 5).
Jillian Alleyne ranks seventh in the nation for rebounding average (12.2 rpg) and is the highest ranked freshman in the NCAA. Alleyne trails Artemis Spanou of Robert Morris (15.0 rpg), High Point's Cheyenne Parker (13.5 rpg), Utah Valley's Sammie Jensen (13.0), Sam Houston State's Sequeena Thomas (12.9 rpg), Naana Ankoma-Mensa of Bryant College (12.8) and Stanford's Chiney Ogwumike (12.4).
Alleyne (13.1 ppg, 12.2 rpg) is one of 39 NCAA Div. I women's basketball players averaging a double-double. The NCAA record for season rebounding average by a freshman is 15.5 rpg (1985 – Valorie Whiteside, Appalachian State).
Five Oregon players have recorded a double-double this season. Freshman forward Jillian Alleyne has tallied a team-high eight double-doubles over the course of the year, a number that ranks tied for third amongst Pac-12 players.
Juniors Megan Carpenter and Ariel Thomas and sophomores Liz Brenner and Jordan Loera have also registered a double-double in 2012-13. On eight different occasions this season, a UO player has been either one point or one rebound shy of reaching a double-double.
At one point during the non-conference schedule, UO was down to a seven-player rotation and played without as many as five players who had starting experience. Many of those missing players have made their way back to the lineup.
Ariel Thomas returned to action against Nevada on Dec. 9 and has made an immediate impact. She's averaging 10.9 points and 4.8 rebounds in 15 games played, a starter in 13 of those contests. Thomas, who has missed nine total games this season, sat the last three games recovering from a head injury.
Four-sport standout Liz Brenner (VB/WBB/SB/T&F), who played in 21 games and started eight contests for UO a year ago, is now full-time with the basketball team. Brenner has played in 11 games - a starter in the last nine - and is averaging 7.9 points and 8.1 rebounds.
Amanda Delgado missed six non-league games due to an injury. The sophomore from Las Vegas, Nev., returned to the lineup Dec. 31 against Connecticut. Delgado is the team's third-leading scorer on the year at 10.0 points per game. She was having a break-out season prior to her injury, averaging 12.7 points per outing through the first six games, a starter in five of those contests. Delgado earned all-tourney team recognition after averaging 18.5 points per game at the Rainbow Wahine Showdown in Honolulu.
Janitah Iamaleava has seen limited time in 11 of UO's last 13 games since making her debut Dec. 31 against UConn. Iamaleava had career-highs with six points and four rebounds at Washington earlier this season.
Laura Stanulis and Lexi Petersen, who entered the year as the team's starter and back-up at the point guard position, have been ruled out for the rest of the season due to injury. Stanulis also led the team in assists (33) at the time of her injury. Petersen, who played in just one game, averaged a team-high 17.5 points per game on UO's preseason foreign tour to Spain.
Jillian Alleyne broke the school and Pac-12 rebounding record in UO's double-overtime home loss to Portland State. In the same game, just her second as a collegiate player, Alleyne also matched the school record for points with 38.
The 27 rebounds bettered the previous Pac-12 mark set nearly 20 years ago by UCLA's Natalie Williams in 1994. Alleyne's rebounding total is the 24th-highest single-game total in NCAA history (since 1982). Alleyne's mark also took down UO's 34-year-old mark that had stood since 1978.
Alleyne scored 30 of her 38 points, and grabbed 21 of her 27 rebounds in the second half and the two overtime periods. In fact, Alleyne amassed a double-double in the two overtime periods alone (10 points and 10 rebounds). For that game, Alleyne went 13-of-24 on field goals and made 12-of-19 free throw attempts. She also contributed team-bests with four steals and three blocks.
Head coach Paul Westhead announced that Chrishae Rowe and Drea Toler have signed National Letters of Intent to play basketball at the University of Oregon. Rowe and Toler will join the Ducks for competition beginning in the 2013-14 season.
"Chrishae and Drea are players who will complement the personnel we already have in place," Westhead said. "These two are outstanding young ladies who will not only fit in with our team, but will be good fits in the community."
Rowe, from Riverside, Calif., ranks among the top 20 players nationally at the shooting guard position. In addition, she is ranked as one of the top 10 seniors in California. The four-star prospect ranks No. 67 in ESPN's HoopGurlz.com top 100 national recruiting rankings.
"Having the opportunity to play in one of the best conferences in the country, while getting a degree in one of the top sports business programs, was an opportunity I couldn't pass up," Rowe said about deciding on UO.
The 5-foot-8 guard produced big numbers in her junior season averaging 19.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. She led Santiago High School to the sectional semifinals a year ago. Rowe was named regional player of the year and made the Los Angeles Times all-star team for her play in 2011-12.
"Another big thing for me was how comfortable I was on my actual visit," Rowe added. "Everyone from the team to the managers and coaching staff are so supportive and close to each other. Coming from a big family, that's something that's very important to me."
Toler, from Gardena, Calif., is playing her senior season at Serra High School. As a junior, she averaged 9.4 points, 4.5 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 3.3 steals per game in leading SHS to a 30-4 record. Serra advanced to the state semifinals in 2011-12.
"I liked how close everyone was on my visit," Toler said on choosing Oregon. "I saw a family bond. I felt a part of the Duck family. And from spending time with the coaching staff and players, I know they're going to take care of me."
The point guard who is known for her speed, also referenced Westhead's style as reason for signing with Oregon. "I like to play fast and Oregon's style is to play fast. We both want to get that ball up the court as fast as possible to get that easy bucket."
Toler played for the Cal Sparks AAU basketball club, a program that current UO freshman Janitah Iamaleava played for as well.
Live audio, video for all non-televised home games or Pac-12 road games will be streamed online with links available at goducks.com (pac-12.com/live/goducks.aspx). All web streaming will be in conjunction with Pac-12 live stream.
In addition, UO basketball representatives will make periodic appearances throughout the season on Ducks Insider, a daily sports webcast (hosted by Jerry Allen and Jill Savage, 1-3 pm) that features interviews with coaches and student-athletes.
The Ducks are on Facebook. Follow @OregonWBB on Twitter for behind the scenes perspective by the staff and players.
The Ducks went 4-0 on their 2012 Spanish Foreign Tour which took place Aug. 24-Sept. 2. The Ducks played games against professional clubs from Madrid, Girona and Barcelona.
Oregon defeated a professional team from Madrid, Estudiantes, in back-to-back games to open the trip (Game 1 - W, 94-67; Game 2 - W, 84-61).
From there, the Ducks played a pair of games as part of the Torneig de Basquet Unnim tournament played at the Pavello Esportiu Municipal located approximately an hour north of Barcelona. UO recorded a 103-62 win over Uni Girona and a 70-52 win over Santa Rosa de Lima.
Sophomore Lexi Petersen averaged a team-high 17.5 points per contest on the trip, one of four Ducks to average double-figures in scoring. Freshman Jillian Alleyne (14.5 ppg, 10.8 rpg) and sophomore Megan Carpenter (13.8 ppg, 10.3 rpg) each averaged double-doubles for UO. Sophomore Amanda Delgado averaged 15.0 points per outing.
Junior Chynna Miley (WBB) was the named the top individual O Heroes for 2011-12. Miley, from Atlanta, Ga., earned 2,325 individual Duck Cup points for her service during the 2011-12 year. Miley participated in nearly every O Heroes event, while also serving as both a member of UO's Black Student Union and the women's basketball team representative for the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
O Heroes is a philanthropic organization -- run by student-athletes -- which positively impacts Oregon, most specifically the Eugene/Springfield community. UO's student-athletes are viewed as role models. UO Athletics is fortunate to have these young individuals not only participating in varsity athletics, but also volunteering their time in the community.
The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is a committee made up of student-athletes assembled to provide insight on the student-athlete experience. SAAC also offers input on the rules, regulations and policies that affect student-athletes' lives on NCAA member institutions campuses. SAAC has representatives from each team and meets bi-monthly.
SAAC intends to promote effective communication between the student-athlete population as a whole, student-athletes as individuals, and the athletic department administration. SAAC will also provide student-athletes the opportunity to communicate with administration on local and national issues affecting student-athletes, while allowing student-athletes with the opportunity to provide suggestions and feedback on programs that serve student-athlete needs.

A new release of Schrödinger is available. Schrödinger (or "schro"
for short) is a cross-platform implementation of the Dirac video
compression specification as a C library. Many media frameworks
such as GStreamer and ffmpeg and applications such as VLC use schro
to encode and decode Dirac video.
Information: http://diracvideo.org/
The Dirac project maintains two encoder implementations: dirac-research, a research encoder, and Schrödinger, which is meant for user applications. Schrödinger outperforms dirac-research in most encoding situations, both in terms of encoding speed and visual quality.
Roadmap: Only a few people are working on schro, and only part time, so new features will happen only slowly.
Contributors to this release:
David Schleef (Entropy Wave)
Information about Orc:
New in 1.0.11
– Added 10-bit and 16-bit support to both the encoder and decoder.
Only works in intra mode. Tested formats are 16-bit 4:4:4 and
10-bit 4:2:2.

This week, a very special venue in the hearts of many (including ours) closed its doors for good. The Florida Room in the basement of Delano Hotel in South Beach Florida was a Lenny Kravitz designed venue with the feel of a classic old school night club.
Within its first year of opening, Giant Step starting doing events at The Florida Room and the list became pretty impressive. Many of our events were Miami debuts featuring great artists such as Jose James, Janelle Monae, Melanie Fiona, and Jazmine Sullivan, to name a few.
Watch the video of Questlove and Gilles Peterson at WMC 2010 as Quest toasts Gilles for being one to go down in history – quite timely to share given yesterday's news.
After the jump, also find videos from De La Soul, The Roots, and Janelle Monae, all doing their thing at a venue that will be greatly missed.
Here's a partial list of some of our great nights:
June 2008 – Janelle Monae (Miami Debut)
Sept 2008 – Jazmine Sullivan (Miami Debut)
Oct 2008 – Nikka Costa
NYE 2008 – The Roots and Janelle Monae
Jan 2009 – The Florida Room 1st anniversary with De La Soul
WMC 2009 – Pete Rock, Benji B, Wale, Questlove, Melanie Fiona, Taylor McFerrin
NYE 2009 – Common
WMC 2010 – Gilles Peterson and Questlove
So to all our friends in Miami and of course the great staff of this special venue that had the best cocktails in the world – we salute you and all the good times.

Darius I guess...
Rose or Rondo
Rose for sure
Darius had some good years with the Clippers. Remember him, Q. Rich, and Odom?
Anyways yeah, Rose.
Rudy Gay or Tyreke Evans?
Iverson well the old Iverson anyways...atleast hes made it past the first round
Best Closer
Jordan... but Kobe is not done yet, so...
last decade:
Championship Lakers(kobe+shaq) or Championship spurs ???
Which bust would you rather be responsible for drafting, Darko or Kwame?
Darko was a luxury pick, so no harm no foul.
OJ Mayo or Brandon Jennings?
plays 2 different positions and different players so I can't really say. If I had to choose one if I was drafting I would choose Jennings. More potential.
Tony Parker or Devin Harris. (Think about this, if they switched teams would the Spurs be better off? Would the Nets really be better?)
Tony Parker.
Harris was a allstar last season and look how many wins hes gotten the nets.
Gilbert Arenas
Allen Iverson?
Allen Iverson!!!!!!!!!!
If you only had ONE CHOICE, who would you rather have:
Melo in 2011 or Wade in 2010????

Didier Reynders condemns North Korea's missile launch
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders condemns the new missile launch being carried out by North Korea. To him, this is a breach of Security Council resolutions, which undermines the international rule of law. The Minister is awaiting an appropriate response from the Security Council.
Belgium therefore shares the international concern and indignation expressed over this act by North Korea, and backs the declaration made by the EU High Representative Catherine Ashton.
In the Minister's view, this provocation risks increasing tensions in East Asia, and runs counter to the objective of the Six-Party Talks (the United States of America, Russia, China, Japan, the Republic of Korea and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea) to find a diplomatic solution to the North Korean nuclear programme.
Didier Reynders calls on North Korea to adopt a responsible policy. This is the only way the North Korean authorities can avoid isolating the country, and seek to improve life for their impoverished people.

USA Scores a Goal with American Made Field Notes Memo Books
Field Notes, Moleskine Cahier, and a Lamy Studio fountain pen.
$9.95 for a 3 pack of 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 Field Notes, with 48 pages of white graph paper. Bonus goodies received included a Field Notes brand click pen and pencil, along with a cool sticker that missed it's opportunity to have it's photo taken.
Similarities abound when sitting next to the Moleskine Pocket Cahier, but it ends once you get to the paper. Moleskines run about $6.99 for a 3 pack and have 64 pages. (plain ruled or graph.) the paper is ivory in color and is horrible to write on. (Like trying to write on dead leaves.) For a fountain pen enthusiast such as myself, the Moleskines are a waste of money.
The rear of the packaging shows Field Notes company slogan, "I'm not writing it down to remember it later, I'm writing it down to remember it now." Good stuff. Completely applicable. I'm always carrying a small notebook (in addition to my regular journal) to jot down ideas and remember stuff that I need to do.
While I absolutely *love* the intentionally plain generic packaging. Some people may prefer the plain cover on the Cahier, which screams to be doodled upon. (I'll probably still doodle on the Field Notes.)
The inside back cover contains all kinds of useful information. No back pocket, but again - I'm always more concerned with paper quality that the *extras* that try to make a journal out to be better than it really is.
Read closely and you will see: "PRINTED AND MANUFACTURED IN THE USA." Yaaaaaaay!!!! Whooooo-hoooooooo! (Moleskines are manufactured in China)
Inside shot of the front cover and my pen test. So let's jump to the quick - NO FOUNTAIN PEN INKS BLED OR FEATHERED ON THE FIELD NOTES PAPER. AT ALL. PERIOD. END OF DISCUSSION. :o)
Sharpies & Lumocolor bled, but that's to be expected. I also decided to try my watercolors. On the upper right side of the page, I tried a few scribbles with my Neocolor II watersoluable crayons. I doodled a little, then ran over them with a Niji Waterbrush. They did just fine. Then I tried painting a bit with my watercolors. (All artist-grade tube paint.) The paper handled the paint pretty well - better than I expected. Colors remained pretty vibrant, and while I wouldn't necessarily specifically buy Field Notes for painting, I would say that they will definitely accept a light wash and so throw one in your portable paint box - why not?
An American company is making a fountain pen friendly notebook. No fountain pen inks bled here. Sharpie & Lumocolor bled as expected. Pilot Petit tried to push through ever so slightly. White paper with tan gridded ruling.
We have to convince Field Notes to make a 5 x 8 hard back book.
Paper similar to Rhodia Graph Pads, but ink seems to dry a little faster here.
I wish the covers were a little thicker, but I know for sure that I have no need to ever buy another pocket Moleskine Moleskine Cahier, EVER AGAIN.
Highly recommended.

Nice review, these seem to please everybody. I would like to hear you talk about your Lamy Studio. I would really like to read a review.
Great blog.

Speedmaster - I love a company with a sense of humor.
Jean Bernard - you will hear about my Studio, I just need to gather some more information before I can write up the review. And thank you for the compliment. :o)
- October 12, 2008 at 12:27 PM
This is a great review, I am going to have a look at their products. I'm not sure how I feel about squared paper or the pocket size, hopefully they do other sizes but I guess I'll find that out when I click their website.
And JB bet me to it - I want to read your review on the Studio! I was thinking "how did I miss that you had a Lamy Studio" - this is it's first appearance, right? (or are my observation powers really weak?)
Thanks for the blog comment, and yes I'm still drawing, but I've had a hard time finding the time this last week... I NEED to, you are very right when you say it's therapeutic.

Good eye! Yes, this is the first actual appearance of the Studio, but I did mention it in an earlier post. I'm writing up the review right now, and will have it posted later today.
To the best of my knowledge, the Field Notes are coming in only one paper size & are all gridded. The grid pattern is light enough that it doesn't bother me at all, but I can understand other people's preferences.

Great post. I looked at these the other day while browsing around one of the online paper stores. They look pretty nice, good for just jotting stuff down.
Where did you get them?

Hi Oz - I got mine directly from the Field Notes website. The link is in my post, under the second photograph.

99% plus of ruled paper uses green/blue spectrum ink for the rules - but Field Notes, just like Moleskine, are doing something different. (Which I like!)
Now carried at several retailers, I hope their range may expand to other formats.
Thanks for the review!
- October 13, 2008 at 4:27 PM
I love field notes, moleskines, moleskine volants, cahiers, and clairefontaine. All of the moleskines that I have ever owned were 100% fountain pen friendly. (even with my friends BB Italic/stub hybrid). Field notes are cool... but I never understood writing on graph paper!
- October 26, 2008 at 3:55 PM
- Biffybeans said...
AJ - have fun with them!
Stephen - you are welcome!
Donald Allen Lee III - I don't understand writing on graph paper either, but I do have a few Rhodia pads and I use them for notes & lists - not actual thoughts. (Does that make sense?)

Coastal flood advisory issued
Published: Friday, June 21, 2013 at 4:13 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 21, 2013 at 4:13 p.m.
Onshore winds and tides may combine Friday evening to produce flooding along beaches, tidal creeks and low-lying areas in coastal Pender, New Hanover and Brunswick counties, the National Weather Service said.
The service's Wilmington office issued a coastal flood advisory Friday afternoon, which was to remain in effect until 8 p.m. Meteorologists warned that during that time shallow salt-water flooding may occur in low lying areas near the beaches, including in parking lots, driveways and walkways.
The greatest potential for flooding is an hour on either side of high tide, which was expected to occur about 6:30 p.m. Friday.

International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)
- Date submitted: 1 Nov 2011
- Stakeholder type: United Nations & Other IGOs
- Name: International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)
- Submission Document: Download
Full SubmissionSecretariat of the International Renewable Energy Agency Input to the compilation document for UNCSD 1. The present document is submitted in response to the invitation from the Second Preparatory Commission of Rio+20 to provide inputs and contributions for inclusion in a compilation documents to serve as basis for the preparation of ?zero draft? of the outcome document. The United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development presents as auspicious occasion to take a fresh look at the challenges and new possibilities that agenda for sustainable development should include. During the past 20 years, the world has changed in fundamental ways economically, socially and in the context of environment. Some of these changes have exacerbated problems of the past, but many offered new and innovative possibilities to tackling the great challenges of our time. Building upon the Rio Declaration and Agenda 21 of 1992, this new landscape should be reflected in reaffirmation of commitment to a holistic approach to sustainable development, and an agreement on concrete steps to be taken in the pursuance of this commitment, with the focus on the opportunities that technological progress can offer in a wide spectrum of areas. 2. The International Renewable Energy Agency?s (IRENA) submission focuses on the specific element of sustainable energy, which is a cross cutting issue that affects all three pillars of sustainable development and an essential underpinning of sustainable development. In this context, this submission concentrates specifically on renewable energy and its potential and positive role in addressing energy access, energy security and the challenge of climate change. The Challenge 3. There is an inextricable link between energy and sustainable development, and the global energy system is undergoing a fundamental transition. For nearly two centuries fossil fuels have driven the industrial revolution, and enabled seven billion people to live on this Planet. Yet, the costs of this dependence ? diminishing resources and the threat of global climate change ? are now adding up. Coupled with the economic downturn and the impact of the recent Fukushima event and subsequent policy changes, it is evident that the alternatives are necessary. 4. A recent World Bank study concluded that countries with underperforming energy systems may lose up to 1 to 2 percentage points of growth potential annually. Surveys in 108 economies show that firms consider lack of reliable electricity to be among the biggest constraints to their business. Poor electricity supply has adverse effects on firms? productivity and the investments in growing capacity. National economies are hampered by the high costs of importing hydrocarbons and potential insecurity of supply. 5. On the other hand, current developments in energy-production systems and in the ways energy is consumed are truly profound. Whole industries are being reshaped. The world has recognized that global climate change is real and, increasingly, governments and the international community are determined to take remedial action. Many governments recognized the possibilities that renewable energy presents in this context, have set concrete targets and made significant progress towards renewables-based energy systems. Global cooperation on this issue has also been strengthened, including by founding IRENA in 2009 with the specific mandate to promote the widespread and increased adoption and use of renewable energy with the view to sustainable development, and alleviation of problems of energy security and climate change. 6. The increasing global interest in renewables is driven by the three defining energy challenges of our times: the search for affordable, clean and secure energy for all. Given the availability of resources, and their modularity, renewable technologies offer a significant and growing part of the answer to these challenges. Stand alone, non-grid, solar systems, small scale hydro, and small wind turbines can enhance access and transform lives and local economies. Grid interconnectivity also enables the large scale uptake of renewables as an increasingly significant part of the energy mix. 7. Today, renewables represent a quarter of global power capacity from all sources and deliver close to 20 per cent of global electricity supply [REN21 Global Status Report 2011]. Cost of renewable energy continues to fall in relation to conventional energy, and the prospect of a global shift towards a cleaner, more environmentally sustainable, economically feasible and reliable energy system is becoming a reality. Renewable energy technologies continue to evolve and improve as a result of large scale research and development, increasing investments and the introduction of new enabling policy frameworks. Yet, there are still significant barriers impeding massive deployment of renewables. Some of them are resource, technology, or country specific, but many can be overcome with a concerted action of all actors; governments, private sector, academic and R&D institutions, and civil society. 8. Rio+20 presents an opportune moment for highlighting some of these issues and committing to a common action to transition to sustainable and secure energy systems, accessible to all. Specifically, the Conference should agree to: ? Promote sustainable energy as an essential underpinning of economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development; ? Support the Secretary-General?s initiative on Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL), including the goal of doubling the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix by 2030 through promoting the development and use of renewable energy sources and technologies worldwide; ? Support the development of policies and benchmarks for the transition to carbon-free power sector; ? Support the reconsideration of direct and indirect market distorting subsidies that impede the transition to sustainable energy systems, including fossil fuel and electricity subsidies; ? Promote renewable energy as a critical element of social and economic development that would help reduce poverty and increase standards of living in developing countries; ? Promote renewable energy as the means to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, in an effort to stabilize the climate system, and gradually transition to a low carbon economy; ? Commit to international cooperation on policy frameworks and investment for the development and exchange of renewable energy technologies between countries, regions and different sectors; ? Strengthen and deploy economic and financial instruments to facilitate renewable energy technology investment and deployment.

Nominated six times for an American Comedy Award, Dom Irrera's stand up material was honed in a multi-generational Italian household in South Philadelphia with his mother, sister, grandmother, uncles, and cousins, all under one very big roof. A great-grandmother even lived across the street. Together, there were three floors and four generations of family.
His first big break was his performance on Rodney Dangerfield's Nothin' Goes Right comedy special for HBO. In 1989, Irrera's own One Night Stand on HBO earned him his first CableACE Award for Best Stand Up Comedy Special. In 1995, he won a second CableACE Award for the Showtime stand up series he hosted, Full Frontal Comedy. That same year, he received a second CableACE Award nomination in the writing category for his work on Comedy Central's animated series, Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist. He also starred in a solo stand up special for HBO in 1992 titled Command Performance.
He has performed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, The View, and has made several appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Recent credits include an all new stand up special titled Comedy Central Presents.
As an avid sports fan, he hosted four seasons of Comedy Central's irreverent football show, Offsides, where he conducted hilarious on the field interviews with football greats. He also hosted Comedy Central's Behind the Scenes at the American Comedy Awards specials in 1998 and 1999.
Irrera was a series regular on the 1998 Fox comedy Damon, starring Damon Wayans. His guest star credits include Becker, Everybody Loves Raymond, The King of Queens, and Seinfeld, in which he played an annoying prop comic needling Jerry in the memorable episode. In addition, Irrera voices the character Ernie, the demolitions expert, on Nickelodeon's Hey Arnold!
His film work includes a featured role in Robert Townsend's Hollywood Shuffle, a cameo in the Coen Bros. film, The Big Lebowski, The 4th Tenor, starring old pal Rodney Dangerfield, and he played himself in the Rodney Dangerfield and Dom De Luise film, The Godson.
Irrera has performed at the prestigious Montreal Just for Laughs Comedy Festival and the Cat Laughs Comedy Festival in Kilkenny, Ireland. He's made more appearances at both festivals than any other American comic. He has also performed at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in Australia and at Edinburgh Festival's Assembly Hall. It was there that he received the Herald Award for Artistic Excellence.

Computer, Massive Parallel Processor, Processor Unit
This is part of an experimental computer, developed in the mid-1980s by the Goodyear Aerospace Corporation for the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. The comptuer derives it name from its ability to operate on large arrays of data in parallel, i.e. on many numbers at once. By contrast, computers of conventional design operate on one or at most a few pieces of data per cycle. One intended application for such a design was the analysis of the large amounts of data received by remote sensing satelliltes.
The Massively Parallel Processor represented one of several approaches to the problem of processing data in parallel. Nearly all modern supercomputers use parallel processing, although not all follow this machine's architecture.

Reviews for Cream Cheese-Filled Cookies
"These cookies are so much fun! One of my girls entered them in the county fair and got first place! We like to make them and use different colors for the cookie, cream cheese and the chocolate drizzle. For example, Red cookie, Green cream cheese filling, and White chocolate drizzle! We have also done green cookie, purple filling and black chocolate."
"Cookies flattened out and spread to 3". Followed recipe correctly, thought it might be an issue with using butter instead of margerine. I did make using more flour, but haven't baked them yet."
"These are delicious. The cookie itself is tasty, but the filling is creamy smooth and just so good!! Thanks so much for the recipe."
"Just wanted to say Thank You, I made these cookies for a holiday cookie contest at my local bank and they took first place. My family also loves them"
"[quote user="areynolds2000"]keep your "cookie-hole" shut!!! [/quote]thank you for making me laugh ... that is too funny. I was surprised that a post about a cookie recipe could cause someone to react so harshly as Miss Missy ... but then, perhaps she has a problem with cream cheese or something ... but thank you areynolds2000 for making me laugh!!!"

The specialitiesMany of today's residents of the Valais had ancestors who lived off the land in the remote mountain valleys, cultivating their own produce to feed their families. They tended apricot, pear, apple and peach orchards, and baked their own rye bread. They grew vegetables on their land. Milk, cheese and occasionally meat were the staple foodstuffs with which they created frugal meals, using a great deal of care and imagination. Today you will still find these traditional products and preparations, but new ones have also emerged, such as the spring crop of exquisite asparagus grown in the sandy soils of the Lower Valais, and brought to the table within hours of being harvested.
Food lovers' heavenFor their recipes, the people of the Valais have tradition to thank, created by the imagination of their ancestors. Today these creations are still widely served: croûte aux champignons, a dish of mushrooms and toasted bread; Valais vegetable soup with leek, celery, turnips and onions; traditional bean soup; rice cooked with locally grown saffron from Mund; traditional polenta dishes; Gsottus, a variety of air-dried meats cooked with cabbage and potatoes; buttered chestnut brisolée, served with mountain cheese, dried and cured meats; or gâteau de Savièse, a leek, cheese, potato, and bacon tart.
The people of the Valais may be passionate about their traditional cuisine, but as descendants and spiritual heirs of the Valais hotel pioneer César Ritz, they are also open to influences from all over the world, and their own cooking shows exceptional imagination and creativity. For the last two years, chefs from the Valais have been named GaultMillau Swiss Chef of the Year: Didier de Courten in 2006, and Markus Neff in 2007.
To accompany this inventive and traditional cuisine, the Valais produces a variety of top-class wines. In addition to the wellestablished classics – whites Fendant (light, fruity, dry) and Johannisberg (ample, flowery and smooth); and reds Dôle (ample, full-bodied and well-balanced) and the powerful Pinot noir, there are exquisite grape varieties that only grow in the Valais, such as the Petite Arvine, Amigne and Humagne blanche.
In the Valais and its cuisine gastronomic skill is equal in importance to the atmosphere at the table: a warm welcome and a cosy, convivial ambiance. For it is at mealtimes that you can best experience the traditions of the Valais and its people's joie de vivre. The Valais looks forward to welcoming you!

The toddler (ages 1 to 3 years) phase can often be challenging when it comes to feeding. Several developmental changes occur at this time. Toddlers are striving for independence and control. Their growth rate slows down and with this comes a decrease in appetite. These changes can make meal time difficult. It is important for parents to provide structure and set limits for the toddler.
The following are suggestions to help manage mealtimes so that the toddler gets the nutrition he/she needs:
The food guide pyramid is a guideline to help you and your child eat a healthy diet. The food guide pyramid can help you and your child eat a variety of foods while encouraging the right amount of calories and fat. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the US Department of Health and Human Services have prepared the following food pyramid to guide parents in selecting foods for children 2 years and older.
The Food Pyramid is divided into six colored bands representing the five food groups plus oils:
Activity is also represented on the pyramid by the steps and the person climbing them, as a reminder of the importance of daily physical activity.
According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005 (the most recent guidelines), a decrease in energy intake of 50 to 100 calories per day for children who are gaining excess fat can reduce the rate at which they gain weight. With this reduction in energy intake, they will grow into a healthy weight as they age. Help your child to find higher-calorie foods that can be cut from his/her daily intake.
To find more information about the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005 and to determine the appropriate dietary recommendations for your child's age, sex, and physical activity level, visit the Online Resources page for the links to the Food Pyramid and 2005 Dietary Guidelines sites. Please note that the Food Pyramid is designed for persons over the age of two who do not have chronic health conditions.
Always consult your child's physician regarding his/her healthy diet and exercise requirements.

Neshama works at the Fairfax Library.
This is an official blog for the Marin County Free Library.
All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
This installment: Winterson's first autobiographical novel; a Nova Scotia novel about childbirth; interlocking stories from WWII in England; Oates at (perhaps) her darkest; post WWII in Canada; linked stories of betrayal by a movie star who can write.
Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit by Jeanette Winterson
Here's her bizarre growing up in fictional form, written in 1985. (Her wonderful memoir came out recently.) An Evangelical mother who adopted her to be the Child of the Lord. Battling sin and demons at every turn, but the child turns out to be an "abomination" herself because she loves women. A mix of grotesque, earthy humor and stories with rueful fondness for her very weird mother and her community where, luckily, there were a few odd women who supported her covertly.
The Birth House by Anne McKay
Dora Dores has six older brothers in rural Nova Scotia. She hangs out with old Marie, a Cajun healer/midwife and is being groomed as her successor. But at 17 she's of age, her family is poor, and she's married off to rich, charming Archer, a brutal wastrel. It's misery all around. Meanwhile scientific obstetrics rears its head—this is 1917—and the greedy, pompous Dr. Coming tries to discredit local ways and amass customers. Lots of drama in which our heroine takes herself to Boston while her fate is being sorted out and gets a taste of sophisticated Bohemian life. She's a pacifist during WWII. The writer, in her author's notes, likens much of the novel as quilting together fragments of history and lore. Ads, clippings, and old remedies add verisimilitude. A rip-roaring story.
The Night Watch by Sarah Waters
WWII in England with interlocking stories. Actually a tangled chain of them and the grand literary trick of starting in one year, backing up 3, backing up 3 again which finally reveals why everyone's got their knickers in a twist, as it were. We start in '47 with a couple, Helen and Julia, at odds. An eccentric isolated woman, K, lives above Mr. Monday. He's a retired prison warden and a Christian Scientist who does vigils for the afflicted every evening (hence the book's title). His lodger, who calls him uncle and tucks him into bed every night, is a haunted young man, Duncan. Duncan's sister Viv, who works in a matchmaking bureau with Helen, is dating a married cad, Reggie. Everyone's struggling with ill-fitting relationships, loneliness, and/or dark secrets. Rich and sad.
Daddy Love by Joyce Carol Oates
Oh does Oates love horrid themes, and you'd think I'd be in heaven with so much dark material. But what is it about this writer that is sometimes even too much for my ghoulish interests? The eponymous villain is a preacher/pedophile who abducts a young boy, Robbie. He's part of a succession of victims who aged out and were "discarded" terminally. It's hell for the parents, of course: drop your kid's hand for one minute while distracted and look what happens. Oates lays out how the preacher keeps Robbie in thrall for years until he goes out to fetch a new young victim and essentially turns Robbie loose in the woods. As you can imagine, home-coming is fraught. The mom is haunted by guilt; the son is deeply damaged. Fascinating, but definitely not a feel-good read here.
The Imposter Bride by Nancy Richler
"Lily," a WWII refugee, shows up in Montreal to meet her unknown husband to be, Sol. He takes one look at her and on a mysterious impulse decides she's not for him. His brother Nathan marries her instead. Then Sol has regrets but marries young Elka, and the families are intertwined for years. However Lily disappears when their daughter is 3 months old. The secret she carries: she stole the identity of a dead girl and feels terminally hollow, so she flees to wild, empty country. Her daughter Sophie searches for clues to her mother's whereabouts and finally connects way down the line. A journal in Yiddish, an uncut diamond, the birthday presents of beautiful rocks throughout the years are the only clues. Rich characterizations, and a good embedded mystery.
When It Happens to You by Molly Ringwald
Initially I bypassed this because she's a movie star and it got less than stellar reviews. But then I succumbed and am glad I did. Linked stories of betrayals with an LA family at their core. I was especially intrigued by the ones about a little boy who insists he's a girl (a subject of constant fascination to me), a kids' TV host let go for peccadilloes, infertility issues and what to do with all those frozen embryos when the couple split up. I had a little trouble with the title story, a litany of interior anguish, but really enjoyed the rest.

Chewy Chocolate Cookies RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
- 1-1/4 cups butter, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup baking cocoa
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in chips.
- Drop by teaspoonfuls onto lightly greased baking sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes (do not overbake). Cool on pans 1 minute. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: about 4-1/2 dozen.
Reviews for Chewy Chocolate Cookies
"If you love chocolate, you will love these cookies. I found it somewhat difficult to remove them from the cookie sheet even after allowing them to cool for one minute. You do have to remove them carefully. They are a delicious cookie."
"Someone has asked about making cookies plumper. I have discovered that replacing about 1/4 butter with the same amount of shortening preserves the buttery flavor and chewiness, but gives cookies a little more body (less melting in the oven). I adapted an oatmeal cookie recipe this way and am very happy with it."
"Great tasting and versatile cookie. We like our cookies large, so mine made about 3 1/2 doz. To adjust, I added 1/2 C flour. I chilled the dough for about 1 hour. I used a cookie scoop about size of large walnut. Flatten tops of cookies slightly. Bake for 15 min. and let cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes before removing. I vary the flavor by adding peanut butter chips, or white chocolate chips, or mint chips. All are yummy!"
"These are great!! Just as they are...."
"These are very good chocolate cookies; however, if I make it again, I'm going to replace the semi-sweet chocolate chips with white chocolate chips. Also the chocolate chips need to be cut back to about 1 to 1 1/2 cups"

United States Swine Flu Cases Reach 1 Million
Swine flu rattles on! U.S. health officials now believe the virus has infected an estimated 1 million Americans. In June, it was reported the infamous flu already nailed all 50 states. According to the CDC, the United States has roughly half of the world's swine cases, with 3,065 hospitalizations and 127 deaths—and the number of hospitalizations is growing; DiscoveryNews reports.
I could cover swine flu everyday—I've tried my best to spare you—but it's still important to keep you updated. Like how vaccines currently used to against swine flu, such as Tamiful, are useless and that Dr. Fuhrman recommends healthy diet and good hygiene to prevent the flu.
And here's another important tidbit. Researchers have determined non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs—called NSAIDs—used to treat the flu may cause multi-organ failure. Eek!

Here's how many pieces I got from the 6 oz. bunch of kale in the top photo.
Here are the chips after they roasted for 10 minutes.
This is how they looked after 20 minutes.
A little more crispy after 30 minutes.
Roasted Kale Chips with Sea Salt and Vinegar
(Makes 2-3 servings of kale chips, recipe adapted by Kalyn with inspiration from many other bloggers who also made kale chips.)
one small bunch of kale, about 6 oz.
1 T extra-virgin olive oil
1 T vinegar (I used Spanish sherry vinegar, but any vinegar you like the flavor of will work)
sea salt to taste
Cut away inner ribs from each kale leaf and discard, then tear the kale leaves into same-size pieces. (I made my pieces about the size of a small potato chip.) Wash torn kale pieces and spin dry in a salad spinner or dry with paper towels until they're very dry.
Put kale pieces into a large Ziploc bag (or use a bowl if you don't mind getting your hands oily.) Add half of the 1 T of olive oil, seal bag, and squeeze the bag so the oil gets distributed evenly on the kale pieces. Add the other half tablespoon of oil and squeeze the bag more, until all kale pieces are evenly coated with oil and slightly "massaged."
Open the Ziploc bag and sprinkle the 1 T sherry vinegar over the kale leaves, then seal bag and shake to spread the vinegar out over all the leaves.
Arrange kale leaves in a single layer on a baking sheet, then roast until they are mostly crisp, about 35 minutes. I checked every 10 minutes or so and turned some pieces over. I also found I didn't mind if there were a few softer parts on some of the kale leaves, I liked the combination of crisp and softer parts.
When chips are done to your liking, sprinkle with a generous amount of sea salt and eat immediately.
South Beach Suggestions:
Dark leafy greens have more nutrition per calorie than any other food source, and these roasted kale chips are a perfect snack for any phase of the South Beach Diet or any type of low-glycemic eating plan.

Political sex scandals seem to be as common as candidates taking advantage of photo ops featuring them kissing babies or flipping pancakes. The latest accusation: Marianne Gingrich, Newt Gingrich's second wife, said on Nightline Thursday that her then-husband, now campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination, had asked her for an "open marriage."
The New York Times reports Gingrich also told her that he and Callista Bisek (whom he would marry in 2000) were having an affair. Bisek was then a congressional aide.
"I said to him, 'We've been married a long time,' " Marianne Gingrich told Nightline. "And he said, 'Yes, but you want me all to yourself. Callista doesn't care what I do.' "
Marianne Gingrich said they soon divorced, after 18 years of marriage, according to the Times.
So will this turn scandal or be squelched? Keep your eye on the polls.

Plan developed by Mindy Solkin, owner and head coach of The Running Center in New York City.
As you start to add on your weekly miles, you may notice that your muscles seem a bit stiffer. Since flexibility diminishes with each decade, it's especially important for 40-plus women to take time to stretch. Runners need to concentrate on three areas: Hamstrings, which are generally affected as you run up hills; quads, which are affected more as you run downhill; and your calves, including your gastrocnemeus and soleus (deep) muscles, which are used as a springboard to carry you forward, says Solkin.
Her three favorite stretches to target these often-tight areas are based on something called the active isolated technique, which allows the opposing muscle to relax before you stretch the target area (for example, relaxing the quads before you stretch the hamstrings). "It gives you a greater range of motion, so you can move further into the stretch," says Solkin.
Hamstring Bench Stretch
- A. Stand with your right foot on a bench or low wall, no higher than hip height, with the middle of your shoe on the edge. Bend your right knee slightly, leaning into your leg, then stand up straight.
- B. Straighten your right leg, hinging forward from your hips, keeping right knee locked. Hold about 2 seconds, relax and repeat. Do 6 to 8 reps on this leg; switch sides.
Standing Quad Stretch
- A. Stand with hands at sides, feet hip-distance apart. Bend your right knee and grasp the top of your right foot with right hand. Lift your right knee forward, then bring the leg back to start.
- B. From here, bring your heel as close as possible toward the right side of your butt. Hold here for about 2 seconds. Do 6 to 8 reps on this leg; switch sides.
Two-for-One Calf Stretch
- A. Stand on a curb or step with right heel hanging off the edge. Bend left leg, pressing right heel straight down.
- B. Straighten left leg, then bend both knees as you press right heel down for about 2 seconds, feeling the stretch in the deeper part of your calf. Return to start and repeat. Do 6 to 8 reps; switch sides.

Best Mediterranean/Middle Eastern
Best catch: The grilled octopus at Aristo's is like no other dish in Utah. Chances are good it's like no other octopus you've eaten.
Aristo Boutsikakis has a young lifetime of experience in the restaurant business, but his supreme qualifications are his parents, George and Ekaterina. From the beginning, like the best Greek restaurants, this has been a family operation, George cooking the lamb, Mama making the pastry, Aristo acting the impresario and host. Among the myriad of Greek restaurants in SLC, Aristo's stands out, not only because the food, service and ambiance (ever been to a Thursday night patio lamb roast?) are the best, but because they keep getting better. 224 S. 1300 East, SLC, 801-581-0888
Best Asian
Plum Alley
Like we said: The duck confit steamed bun. Or anything in a steamed bun.
We know just as well as you do that "Asian" is a ridiculously large geographic area to sum up with one culinary description, but that's as close as we can get to categorizing Plum Alley, Ryan and Colleen Lowder's second, but probably not last restaurant in Salt Lake. From its charming Chinatown-style interior to the much-lauded steamed buns (Pork belly! Duck confit!), Plum Alley sums up an American take on the Asian continent. In the kimchee stew, you taste the happy collision of two worlds, East and West. 111 E. Broadway, SLC, 801-355-0543
Best Japanese
Naked Fish
Phat bite: There's no wagyu in Salt Lake like the beef at Naked Fish.
Easy going Johnny Kwon is bullheadedly making this into one of the edgiest restaurants in town, basing his menu on a near-fanatical commitment to ideals like sustainable sushi, from-scratch everything (that's why the popular gyoza are no longer on the menu), and authenticity to the utmost. Of course, his is the head of the operation; the hands belong to Chef Tosh Sekikawa armed with his yakitori. 67 W. 100 South, SLC, 801-595-8888
Best Mexican
Frida Bistro
Try the national dish: Chiles en Nogada involve shredded beef–stuffed chiles with dried fruit and a walnut cream sauce. And they come with asparagus.
Colorful, elegant and one-of-a-kind in Utah, Jorge Fierro's Frida Bistro opened with a daring concept—high-end Mexican food—and has continued to get steadily better even after its initial excellence. The bar and tequila menu has expanded, brunch is now offered, and the new dessert chef, Peter Korth, has sweetened the end-of-the-meal outlook far beyond flan. If you still believe Mexican food begins with chips and ends with enchiladas, you should remember that Mexico City is one of the largest in the world, with all the sophistication that implies. Frida Bistro brings a bite of this to Utah. 545 W. 700 South, SLC, 801-983-6692
Best Chinese
J. Wong's Asian Bistro
Celebrate: Chinese New Year at J. Wong's, with a special menu and a fabulous lion dance.
When people point me to their "best Chinese restaurant" in Utah," invariably, they add, "You have to know what to order. The good food is not on the menu." And my response is, "Then it's not the best restaurant." Why would you have to know about a secret menu just to get the best a restaurant has to offer? For me, that means it's not the best. The Wong family has been growing their clientele and menu since opening. And, as guests get more familiar with the food, the Wongs add ever more adventurous dishes to the menu. No secret passwords necessary. 163 W. 200 South, SLC, 801-350-0888
Best Indian
Saffron Valley
Eat with one hand: Indian street food is the deal here, like the addictive corn pakoras, fritters of chickpea flour, corn and spinach.
Besides serving a daily menu of delectable Indian specialties, Lavanya Mahate's South Jordan eatery presents several Indian food fests throughout the year. This year, the second annual South Indian Food Festival introduced flavors from some lesser-known regions of the subcontinent, and the first kebab fest featured meat-on-a-stick combinations that a backyard chef never dreamed of. In other words, Saffron Valley educates and expands your palate as it delights your tastebuds. 1098 W. South Jordan Parkway, South Jordan, 801-438-4823
Best Italian
Sea Salt
Buon gusto: Agrodolce con Burrata-—grilled cipollini onion and beets, Villa Manodori balsamic vinegar, burrata alla panna "Di Stefano" and grilled bread.
Behind one of the most mercurial men in Utah food is a more serene, stabilizing personality: Emmanuel Levarek , known in the food community as "E Man," has worked with Eric Debonis for years and has been instrumental in evolving the true Italian menu at his follow-up to The Paris. Unsung E Man and notorious Eric are fanatical about their ingredients, growing much of their produce themselves and buying locally, specifying speck from Alto Adige, carnaroli rice and Dodoni feta. It's true that when you eat at Sea Salt, you eat it their way or not at all, but fortunately, sometimes headstrong chefs are also correct. 1709 E.1300 South, SLC, 801-349-1480

The spring fire season is here. It can be destructive and costly.
Virginians are being warned to stay safe.
That goes for those of us around here, too. We've had our share of problems with wildfires locally over the past few years.
The fire season runs from Feb. 15 through April 30; the threat of wildfires is increased this year due to Virginia's mild winter.
The Bedford County Board of Supervisors has spent the past year flexing its muscles and showing folks who's in charge.
And that show of strength probably isn't over.
What would you do "if" given the chance to do something good?
When would you try to accomplish that task "if" time wasn't a hindrance? Who would you try to help "if" money wasn't a concern?
Where would you go "if" you had the opportunity to go anywhere?
How would you use an extra day "if" given those seconds, minutes and hours?
What if?
Well, today's your day.
Congratulations to Sara Braaten, executive director of the Bower Center for the Arts, on being recognized for her work over the past three years at the Center.
The James River Council for the Arts & Humanities recently presented her with the Arts Volunteer Award from the organization, noting that as the volunteer director of the non-profit, she was recognized for "almost single handedly transforming a quiet, little-known group into a lively and exciting center for the visual and performing arts."
Last week was Sunshine Week.
The weather cooperated, ushering in spring with plenty of sun and warmth. Maybe the Bedford County School Board will also follow suit.
Sunshine Week is a national campaign that promotes the importance of open government and freedom of information. It's not just the media that participates, but rather anyone interested in the public's right to know what is going on in government.
It didn't take long.
The tragic case of the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Florida last month has now become a political lightning rod. The case is no longer about justice, it's about rallying the troops, for whatever cause someone might support.
The facts in the case no longer matter — it's all about the cause.

Much has been made recently of folks "paying their fair share." In the political world, this is the hottest of topics.
But the truth is, there are a lot more important ways to help this country out than paying the government more taxes. And it doesn't cost anyone a dime—or even a penny. What it does cost is time.
Volunteers are the true heroes of this country—they understand what it means to "pay their fair share." And many go far beyond that.
Several weeks ago we ran an editorial highlighting where Bedford County ranks in per pupil spending among the other school districts in Virginia. Several took offense to the editorial for a variety of reasons.
Our goal was to spark a conversation about Bedford County's commitment to funding education, not to question the education area students are receiving. We feel students here do very well, for a variety of reasons—good teachers, parental involvement and volunteers who go above and beyond.
Uh oh. Here we go again.
At the 11th hour, the Bedford County Board of Supervisors is considering pulling funds away from the school system, once again.
Last year, the supervisors withheld funds from the school board, as budget negotiations got acrimonious between the two boards. This year should be different. The school board members and school administration have done all they could to keep the lines of communication open between the two boards. There shouldn't be any surprises.

For those who suspected that the Czechoslovakians had a complexity complex involving taking rather simple things and making them them unbearably difficult and that this complex was most clearly seen in their weaponry; we bring you the the Vz61 Scorpion pistol.
It shoots a minuscule cartridge, the 32 acp, and is simple blowback. I have given up counting the springs and pins. It makes no difference how many are lost, they multiply like Tribbles and still have no apparent home.
The workings of the pistol have been called elegant. If so it's elegant like the French chachat machine gun with so many parts it would never work. Generally the left side of the pistol is shown. This is because they couldn't figure out how to keep the hammer axis pin in place without jamming an external piece of sheet metal on the right side. A single grain of sand could bring the trigger unit (the original has 10 pieces) to a screeching halt. And I love the 150 meter sight setting. It's so useful. The rate reducer in the full auto version was a weight bouncing up and down in the pistol grip. Add that to the problems of controlling a machine pistol!!!
It just fed a complete mag, finally, so I'll start a thread. Pics to follow.
