We've had a few solid weeks of sunshine, and even though the slopes just got a few fresh inches, it looks like it's all May flowers from here. So whether you're walking to the corner market or spending the whole afternoon outdoors, you're going to need a good SPF to guard your skin from cancer and accelerated aging. But though most potions promise protection (and actually get the job done), they are NOT all created equal. Some clog pores, some feel watered-down, some stay greasy for hours.
I did the dirty work for you, and sweat my way through bottles of different brands to come up with the top three sunscreens for everyday wear.
Avalon Organics CoQ10 Wrinkle Defense Cream with SPF, $17; Harmons
Not only is it good for repelling rays, but you can also feel good about wearing it. The mousse-like serum consists of honest ingredients that instantly absorb for uber-moisturized (but not oily) skin. Like the Neova lotion, this cream does double duty by protecting AND repairing with a powerful antioxidant aimed at energizing new skin cells. Every ingredient seems to play a role in this cream, and you've gotta love the subtle glow you get starting at the first application!
NEOVA DNA Damage Control Everyday SPF 43, $39; NEOVA.com
This lightweight, face-friendly lotion set the bar high for all sunblocks to come. It doesn't feel greasy, it disappears instantly into your skin, and actually leaves your skin looking better (that's right, no spontaneous breakouts here). Plus, it contains DNA repair enzymes said to REVERSE sun damage. I tested it out on a sunburn once, and it cleared up in hours. Magical stuff; worth every penny.
Hawaiian Tropic Shimmer Effect Sunscreen Lotion, $9.99; Ulta
I am a huge fan of shimmer lotion (it helps disguise imperfections like cellulite), and now you can ensure your shimmer protects AND deflects. This is a great lotion that spreads evenly over large areas (like your gams!), and helps flatter your skin (not coat you in a mask of white) with flecks of gold. Definitely a must-have for runners, sunbathers and anyone else wearing very little clothing!
And it's worth noting that these days, everything from your everyday moisturizer to your mineral makeup contains sunblocking properties, so look for ingredients like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide on the labels. But, again, it never hurts to over-protect when it comes to that alluring summer sun.

Convertible car seats
can be a rear facing infant car seat and later be converted to front facing car seats when your child reaches the appropriate age and weight. In term of your baby's weight and size, convertible car seats are the step between an infant car seat and a booster seat. Most models of convertible car seats can fit a child who is between 5-65 lbs compared to the infant car seat, which typically fits a child weighing between 4-22 lbs. Convertible car seats feature LATCH systems, 5-point harness systems, overhead shields, and EPS foam for additional child safety and side impact protection. Babysupermarket features a wide range of convertible car seats such as the
Recaro Convertible Car Seat
, the
Graco Convertible Car Seat
, the
Britax Boulevard 70 Convertible Car Seat

Headed back to my trusty gourmet foods store, I was hoping to stumble across a few things for my candy stashes. One of which was the Ragold Citrus Mix that I reviewed a few weeks ago. Happily I found them, but I also saw this new variety, the Tropical mix, right next to it. Of course I had to try it!
This mix has a bunch of flavors in it compared to the three flavors offered in the citrus mix. There's also more colors and shapes too, so it's fun to look at each of the little jellies. They're like little gems or jewels almost.
Banana: flavor is sweet and starchy, and lightly of banana. it's juicy and the flavor is very delicate.
Apple: Immediately a little tart and very floral. doesn't taste of apple to me at all as it comes across as herbal, like a fruity herb tea.
Lemon: This has nice sharp sour notes and a smooth lemon flavor to it. mild in flavor too like the banana, and it's sweet.
Peach: It's very juicy with strong floral notes to it, something about it tasted…kinda odious? it was that fake peach flavor and it was strange.
Pineapple: Right away it's juicy and very intense in flavor. the pineapple flavor is immediately tarty and intense, and it's really like real pineapple. yum!
Strawberry: Very mild in flavor with sweet berry notes. It is lightly jammy, and difficult to detect in flavor.
Cherry: This has deep smooth flavor f dark cherries. like cherry juice, very woodsy ad sweet/tart. Really nice.
Pear: Juicy with citrus notes to it. didn't remind me of pear at all, more like a melon.
I liked these a lot, better than the citrus mix! I was happy I found these, and I hope to find both varieties on my return trips.

Okay, not so much. (As my husband would surely tell you, I'm bad at "wordless". )
My Kissy Fish quilt is being featured on GenX Quilters today! Head over there and check out Anne Marie's excellent blog, if you haven't already. And Spoonflower linked up to my blog on their Facebook page yesterday! Thank you, Spoonflower! How cool.
Meanwhile, in addition to finally cutting into my Modern Meadow, I've also decided what I'm doing with my stack of Hope Valley FQs. Hint: It involves more squares and half-square triangles. I'm into those lately.

It's always a thrill to hear new Tawiah. Last time we posted about her, we shared a great live performance of "Break Away," which you should definitely catch if you missed.
Above, see Tawiah doing a live rendition of holiday favorite, "Little Drummer Boy." Those holiday lights on her head are pretty serious, man. At any rate, a great addition to your YouTube holiday playlist for that last minute dinner party.
Lastly, we are super excited to share that Tawiah has also recently dropped an uplifting EP called Run. What's better is that it's free! Download below. Also, grab a little taste by streaming the title track below.

My Interview:
The Four-Sided Pentacle series is very erotic. What made you decide to explore with your writing, this particular subgenre in romance? In addition, there were some comments regarding THE FLAME AND THE SHADOW and "shadow sex". In my reading experience, I thought Gray's shadow and its sexual involvement was integral to the story, but others have been turned off by it. Did you expect some readers to be repelled by this aspect of the story? And for those particular readers, can you explain why Gray's shadow participated in such a sexual way?
First and foremost, I write to please myself. It's essential. If I'm not engaged and entertained, it's unlikely readers will be. I also have a very low tolerance for boredom, so I try to challenge myself in each book by pursuing a theme that interests me. Fantasy is wonderful medium for this because the constraints of the normal world don't apply. It's possible to make an abstract concept concrete and work it right through to a conclusion. I relish that.
In THE FLAME AND THE SHADOW, I created Gray, a man with a personality split so severe that it's manifested in the physical entity of his shadow. This ties in with Jungian concepts of the 'shadow' side we all have. I even incorporated a Jiminy Cricket aspect, making Shad the voice of Gray's conscience.
The idea totally intrigued me. Imagine seeing the 'shadow' side of yourself rise up in front of you! I loved writing Shad. He was a real challenge – funny, vulgar, boyish, uninhibited– the deeply buried, instinctive part of Gray.
The hot sex turned out to be an important consequence. I've always enjoyed writing about sex, for any number of reasons. It's not only a turn-on, but the sexual act can be used as a lens to focus on raw emotion. The reader sees the characters naked and not only physically. All the masks are stripped away and the soul is bared, whether the character knows it or not. It's enormously powerful.
Don't they say the most important erogenous zone is the one the between the ears? Page after page of docking procedure leaves me cold. If the sex isn't an integral part of character development, it's not erotic romance, just gratuitous copulation.
Shad only exists because Gray experienced a trauma so severe, his personality fractured. It was a form of self-defense, essential for his survival. Because he's actually one part of Gray, Shad is integral to the physical relationship with Cenda. He makes Gray fully present in the act. And because Cenda is a fire witch, Gray can't survive making love with her unless he accepts Shad's help. Slowly, he learns to understand and reconcile with the part of himself he has always rejected as dark and wrong.
So I have to say I'm a trifle bemused by the 'shadow sex' reaction. I write ménages as well (one woman, two men – GIFT OF THE GODDESS AND TAILSPIN for Ellora's Cave, http://www.jasminejade.com/pm-5863-236-gift-of-the-goddess.aspx and http://www.jasminejade.com/pm-4947-236-tailspin.aspx and THE FLAME AND THE SHADOW seems different to me only in the sense that it's actually one woman with two manifestations of the same man. It's a monogamous relationship. To me, it was truly beautiful, almost sacred, but hey, I said at the start I write to please myself. Readers read to please themselves and everyone has different filters. I'm cool with that.
What's something that not too many people know about you?
Um. Well, I have a strange birthmark on my shoulder blade, shaped like a cross-eyed butterfly. Years ago, when I was teaching, I wore a summer dress one day and the kids asked me about it. I told them I was the lost Princess of Ruritania and it was the Royal Birthmark. One dear little soul believed me for a whole three minutes.
I was really surprised by Cenda's (heroine of THE FLAME AND THE SHADOW) age of forty-one years. Her innocence of course had me viewing her as much younger but it made me curious about your characters and their mortality rate. They're not immortal, but do they live longer then a normal human's expected life time? Does their Magick prolong their life at all? Or is this simply an age that you wanted Cenda to be? If so, why?
That's a brilliant question! It hasn't occurred to me to consider mortality, but when I think about it, I guess I've assumed a normal life span. As for Cenda's age, I always knew she was a bit older than most heroines. I wanted her to be a wounded soul and yet not be cynical or jaded. Her life experience has made her vulnerable, but it also gives her the maturity to handle the dramatic transformation of a hitherto ordinary life.
I also believe we're all about eighteen in our hearts – if that! I'm still surprised every time I catch a glimpse of my middle-aged self in a shop window
Why Magick and not shapeshifters or vampires?
If I'm honest, I have to say I cannot think of a single fresh take on either vampires or shapeshifters (weregerbils anyone?) and as I said in the previous answer, I like to challenge myself with new ideas. I acknowledge that others can do it (Joey W. Hill's new vampire series, for example), but not me. Even worse, my left brain keeps whispering inconvenient truths like –
This dude is dead. Hullo? D.E.A.D. He doesn't breathe and OMG, he sucks blood outta people! So do mosquitoes. Erk.
What happens to the excess flesh when a human turns into a wolf (or whatever) and vice versa? Where does it go? Oh, and the clothes? Must be hell on the wardrobe.
That said, I confess to a bit of dragon-shifting in GIFT OF THE GODDESS (http://www.jasminejade.com/pm-5863-236-gift-of-the-goddess.aspx), but it's more inside the character's heads than anything.
Magick gives me the scope to whatever I damn well want the way I want it. I have my own take on a vampire in TAILSPIN (Ellora's Cave - http://www.jasminejade.com/pm-4947-236-tailspin.aspx). Belladonna is a soul-sucking demon who has captured one of my gorgeous winged and tailed heroes. She has evil designs on his body. (Who wouldn't?) I'm also considering the concept of someone who can communicate telepathically with animals. Sounds like fun!
So far, I've written about a sex shaman with a dragon tattooed around his hips, a race called the Aetherii who have magnificent wings and wicked feathery tails, a banshee in search of a job, an ex-football-playing demon with inconvenient horns and a tail, a circus acrobat, a girl who is part dragon and a corset possessed by an evil spirit. It's all at http://www.deniserossetti.com/books.html
On reflection, I sound like I belong in a ward for the terminally delusional.
One aspect that I really loved about your books is that while the stories take place in a separate world(s), the worldbuilding isn't overwhelming. Actually, it's rather subtle and revealed more through language and circumstance. I'm envisioning the worlds as separate planets. Is that what they are? If so, are they close or in a unit like our Solar System, or are they far apart like separate galaxies?
You're exactly right, VFG. The worlds are separate planets. Think about the kind of universe Joss Whedon created in Firefly/Serenity and you've got the overall concept.
I get quite a few compliments on my worldbuilding, which is wonderful for my fragile writer's ego. Thanks! On the other hand, it just, um, happens as I go along, like a movie unrolling in my head. When I go walking with My Beloved and the dog, I often lose track of the conversation. He'll chuckle and ask, "What world are you on now?" because I sure ain't on this one, Dorothy!
Was it difficult to develop a language(s) unique to your Four-Sided Pentacle universe? What languages did you use for inspiration?
Would you believe English? To my everlasting shame, it's the only language I speak. I love opera, so I'm familiar with operatic Italian and I love the cadence of it. One day I'll go to classes…
I can't imagine developing a true language like Tolkien did with Elvish. Of course, he was a linguist and I'm…not.
On the other hand, I do try to provide the reader with a frame of reference for new words. There's nothing more irritating than being hit with a slew of weird terms in chapter one. I use familiar vocabulary in new combinations, so that the reader has a subtext to fall back on. For example, a corpsebird is basically a vulture; mothermeknot is a contraceptive herb. If a child toddles by carrying a furrybear, you can bet it's like a teddy. It's much the same with names. Cenda comes from incendiary; Gray is the Duke of Ombra, which means shadow in Latin.
What has been the most defining moment in your writing career?
You asked for 'defining' as opposed to 'exciting'. I'm going to sound like such a twit, but I had a revelation fairly early on that made a huge difference to the way I view the craft. I've always loved the beauty of language, vivid word pictures, striking metaphors. I'd be irritated by mediocre writers who still hit the top of bestseller lists, again and again. Duh! I was so involved in the craft of words on the page – wordsmithing - it took me ages to realize that it's the story that really matters. Forget the golden prose – no story, no connection!
I was so impressed with this discovery I wrote an article about it - http://www.deniserossetti.com/campfire.htmlIf you're a writer, there's a sort of sliding scale to check where you come on the continuum between pure wordsmith and pure storyteller.
How do you develop your characters? I've heard of some authors launching from a certain stereotype, to others claiming that their characters come to them fully formed. Your characters are also extremely tortured not only in their past but on their journey to Happily Ever After. Do you ever feel guilty?
I'm what other writers call a 'pantser' – as opposed to a plotter. I do always know what happens in the end, it's how we get there that's a bit misty. It's the same with characters – I have an idea of the essential personality traits, but I get to know them as I go along. Sometimes I have to go back and rework, but that's the price pantsers pay for spontaneity. I'd love to be able to portray the full complexity of a real person on the page, but I think it's actually impossible. We humans are such complicated, contradictory creatures. Any intelligent reader would simply throw the book at the wall if I tried.
I don't find the mundane gripping and I don't think readers do either. I need intense drama, life and death stakes, worlds trembling on the brink of dissolution. I hated what happened to Cenda's daughter; I hated giving Gray such a dreadful boyhood. In fact, I had to take breaks from Gray's chapters and tell myself he was only a paper person, not real. Not that it made any difference! But fracturing his character in that crucible of suffering was crucial to the man he became. Incidentally, I could have made his parents the 'bad guys', but that seemed like a cop-out, so they finished up doing what most parents do – the best they could.
High stakes drama doesn't come out of happy placid places. The darker the night, the brighter the dawn , as they say. Bad things happen in Real Life too, so excruciatingly awful we can hardly bear to think about them. Likewise, Real Life is full of Happy Ever Afters. All you need do is look around you. I'm lucky enough to have one. I hope you are too.
My work for Ellora's Cave and Avon – the PHOENIX RISING series and the KAMINSKI FAMILY series are lighter. There's still plenty of hot romance and adventure and bad guys though! In fact, the KAMINSKI FAMILY stories are funny. (I hope.) There are excerpts of everything I've written on my website. Go have a look around. http://www.deniserossetti.com/
What are you writing right now? When is the next release in your Four-Sided Pentacle series?
The LACED WITH DESIRE anthology (Jaci Burton, Jasmine Haynes, Joey W. Hill and me) will be released in February next year. My novella follows THIEF OF LIGHT, though it can be read as a stand-alone. It's the story of Rhiomard, the gruff Guard who appears as a secondary character in RUBIES AND BLACK LACE and THIEF OF LIGHT. I've just completed the final page proofs and I'm actually reasonably satisfied this time. Here's a short blurb –
Rhio's a battle-scarred veteran of both love and war, a soldier right down to his bootstraps. But he's never met a woman as fierce, as fascinating—as dangerous--as Dancer. And she's up to her pretty neck in political intrigue. She just might kill him before they're through, but what a glorious way to go!
I'm putting the finishing touches to the proposal for Book #3 in the FOUR-SIDED PENTACLE series. The hero is the swordmaster, Walker, an earth shaman who appears in THIEF OF LIGHT as a secondary character. He's all dark and brooding and cold. Deadly. His heroine may well be the most unusual character I've ever written. Deprived of touch and affection from babyhood, she has never learned about normal human relationships, so she's essentially 'empty'. She cannot interpret facial expressions and body language, has no idea of what empathy means, let alone sympathy, and little understanding of conventional morality. Yet she has a childlike innocence and curiosity that's extraordinarily endearing. Put her together with the deeply reserved Walker and sparks are going to fly. I can't wait to dig in! All being well, it's slated for release about this time next year.
In between all this, I'm doing a proposal for the next in my PHOENIX RISING series for my long-suffering Ellora's Cave editor. I also have an entire KAMINSKI FAMILY story in my head screaming to get out. *sigh* Shame about the day job.
As always, I write a monthly newsletter. Contests, giveaways, updates – and a very naughty, very silly serial, RACKETY KATE AND THE PIRATES. Yo-ho-ho! I like to be funny on occasion and Rackety Kate is my light relief. Readers get to choose what happens next. My newsletter folk are very special to me, like a worldwide family. They hear everything first. Everyone is welcome! http://groups.yahoo.com/subscribe/deniserossetti
Me and my blogger friends have a love for what we affectionately call "Hussy Reading Material". Do you have any romance authors that you prefer when or if you're in need of erotic romance reading material?
I enjoy the sensuality and lyricism of Emma Holly. I also love Joey W. Hill – which is hardly surprising given that Joey is a critique partner and good friend. I like a well-written male/male romance too, Josh Lanyon in particular.
Denise is giving away...
In the elegant, subtropical city of Caracole, Erik the Golden is widely known as irresistible; his Voice an instrument of incredible pleasure, the stroke of velvet on bare skin. But the Voice is a curse as much as a blessing, for once Erik used it to steal a soul, and now he must pay.
Pruella Takimori McGuire is the business manager for the beautiful courtesans of the Garden of Nocturnal Delights. She deals in numbers, not Magick, and when Erik turns his charms in her direction, she sees only vanity, not a golden gift. If Erik cannot use his power to win Prue's heart, how can he truly possess her? How is it she can resist what others can't? She's either a torment devised by the gods to drive him mad — or Erik's last hope of salvation.
And all the while, a far darker power corrupts the foundations of Caracole - the Necromancer, who feasts on souls. When the Necromancer's hired assassin kidnaps Prue, Erik must harness his air Magick to recover the woman he has come to love more than life itself...

ZF-7896: Does zend_rest_route respect RESTful protocol stand
Hi, from my understanding of RESTful protocol, the server side is supposed to accept a request like this: /REST/1 It should also be able to interpret /REST/?id=1 or /REST/type="x"
In the current implementation however we can only do the first kind of url. Is it up to us to test for is sent and act accordingly? JR
Typically, ReST says that there should be a single URI for any given resource, and that it should be returned in the Location header on successful creation. While it may be useful to support both styles, it would also add significant complexity for very little benefit.
Luke, any thoughts on this?
You should already be able to send a request like:
If that's not working, it's a bug and I'll fix it.
As for the other URI, it could (and probably should?) be expressed:
I'd like to see the context for an identifier like /REST/type="x". I've never seen query params supplied like that without a '?' character in a URI.
In the case you have a table like ID name type 1 bar type1 2 baz type2 3 foo type2 4 bat type1
/rest/1 should give you the data pertaining to the row with id 1 and so on. /rest/?id=1 should give the same as /rest/1 but currently that doesn't work (I have build 18038)
/rest/?type=2, which I figure should return 2 baz type2 and 3 foo type2 doesn't work either but I suspect it might not be RESTful. I was just looking for confirmation. JR
Ah, in that case if you want to return more than one resource, Zend_Rest_Route and Zend_Rest_Controller are designed to do so like this:
Which will route to RestController::indexAction() with type=>type2 parameter, which you can then use to query the DB where type = 'type2' and go from there.
I'll recreate a test for the /rest/?id=1 and try to get that fixed. In the meantime, try using /rest/1
Thanks, -L
Fixed support for ?param=value query param values.

cobweb and lace weight silk yarns
Spun by Loro Piana of Italy and other great spinners, the cobweb weight yarns are gorgeously smooth and, well, silky, with beautiful pale pastel and stronger colors.
We will happily wind multiple strands on cone for you (you still only buy the cones you want, ie you CAN have three plies to make up a fingering weight on one cone). Note that if you pay for twisting ($5 per cone) in the twisting options section we can also twist up thicker yarns, and some can be done in two stages (eg 3plies twisted together one way, 2 plies of that the other way) to greatly reduce the amount of twist left in the resulting thick yarn.


text: Rolling Stone Magazine described the Carolina Chocolate Drops' style of music as "dirt-floor-dance electricity." The band, which formed in 2005 in North Carolina, got their initial start on the music festival circuit and soon shared the stage with Taj Mahal. In 2007, they appeared in Denzel Washington's film The Great Debaters and joined Garrison Keiler on Prairie Home Companion. A year later, they received an invitation to play on the Grand Ole Opry as the first black string band to perform on its stage. The release of their latest album Genuine Negro Jig this year has confirmed the group's place in the music pantheon. With its tongue in cheek, multiple-meaning title, the album ranges boldly from Joe Thompson's Cindy Gal to Tom Waits' Trampled Rose and band member Rhiannon Gidden's acoustic hip hop version of R&B artist Blu Cantrell's Hit 'Em Up Style.

Idaho's Rachel Millet and Paige Hunt were chosen the Western Athletic Conference Swimmer and Diver of the Week for Oct. 1-7.
Millet, a sophomore, from Spokane, Wash. (Ferris H.S.), opened the Vandals' season in dominating fashion by winning all three individual events in which she competed. Millet hit the wall first in the 200-yard freestyle with a WAC -leading time of 1:52.34. Her first-place time of 2:06:24 in the 200-yard IM also comes in as the WAC's top time of the early season.

She also raced in the 200-yard medley relay, finishing third as a team with a time of 1:47.19.
Hunt, a junior from Mesa, Ariz. (Mesa CC), recorded a NCAA zone qualifying score of 283.80 in claiming the 3-meter event by an almost 23-point margin. Hunt finished fifth in the 1-meter event scoring dives totaling a score of 227.17

Derma Brightening Complex definitely succeeded where Vinoperfect Complexion Correcting Radiance Serum failed and at a more affordable price too. It is excellent for all skin types including sensitive skin.
Name: Cellnique Paramedical Derma Brightening Complex
Price: RM 149 for 30 ml
Description: Formulated with exclusive Triple Action Melano-Targeting technology, this strongly effective yet gentle formulation works excellent on skin discoloration, dull and uneven skin tone, restores skin's luminous glow without provoking any skin irritation or peeling. Unprecedented clarity radiates from within.
Packaging: White opaque plastic bottle with a dropper. I love the dropper lid, it is very convenient and hygienic.
Scent: A sweet yet acidic scent.
Texture: This pale yellow liquid has a light silky texture.
Two droplets are adequate for my entire face. I apply it on my U-zone (where my hyperpigmentation is concentrated), and smooth the leftover essence over the rest of my face. Five minutes is more than enough for my skin to absorb it completely.
I noticed that my face looks more radiant now! This brightening effect became noticeable by my third week and I am hoping that it would become more pronounced *greedy laugh*
I am not too fussed about the works excellent on skin discoloration claim... my hyperpigmentation (mostly caused by acne and they are not age/sun spots) usually take around two years to fade. But here are some before and after pictures for comparisons sake:
Not bad for four weeks of consistent usage yes?
The Derma Brightening Complex is a booster, so I use this after serum and before moisturiser.
Ingredients: I am assuming Vitamin C, Lactic Acid and Kojic Acid to be the components in the Triple Action Melano-Targeting technology. Vitamin C inhibits melanogenesis (process where skin cells produce melanin/pigment), Lactic Acid exfoliates dead skin cells while Kojic Acid works as a whitening agent.
Purified Water (Aqua), Sodium Hyaluronate, Ethoxydiglycol, Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid), Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Lactic Acid, Kojic Acid, Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), Hydroxyethyl Cellulose, Diazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Sodium Hydroxide, Propylparaben, Willow (Salix Nigra) Bark Extract.
Repurchase? YESSS!!!
What do you use for a radiant, scar-free skin?

Now known as Earl Smith.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Nuggets guard J.R. Smith has made a decision — from now on, he wants to be called by his given name, Earl.
His given name is Earl Smith III, but he got "J.R." because people would call him "junior," even though, yeah, he's actually a third-generation Earl.
Regardless, the Denver sharpshooter is now Earl Smith III — which should lead to some cutesy puns about "III" and "3-pointers."
"I just felt like changing it," Smith said Tuesday morning at the Nuggets shootaround, in preparation for tonight's Nuggets-Bulls game, Smith's first game back from a seven-game suspension. "It's been a long time, and J.R. has no significance to my name. My name is Earl, so I figured - why not?"
Geez if my name was Earl I'd probably want to stick with J.R.
When I read the thread title, I thought JR Smith died...

I really really hope smogon starts banning some shit, its like smogon is taking the exact opposite philosphy of last generation, banning nothing except if it is odiously broken.
Smogon has split from PO, who run their own tiers and are the major server on their own battle system (unsurprisingly). I don't actually pay attention to tiers, but those who are interested can see them here: http://wiki.pokemon-online.eu/view/5th_Gen_Tier_List
PO, still has genesect, boo. Plus their players are generally terrible.
Genesect needs to go, end of story, anyone defending it hasn't played in the meta or is to happy about spamming it.
Overall smogon needs to increase its ubers list, their are fucking less ubers this generaion then there was last. Kirbx's hitlest of ass pokemon that need to get the fuck out of OU:
-Venusaur or Drought
I can expand this list to Tornadus-T, Terrakion, and Latios, but as it stands, those are much higher concerns that need a banning. They literally have no health influence on the meta.
We should totally have our own server with its own tiers. That would solve everything!
That is my ultimant plan Ed, he he he.
1. Make a gen 1, online java simulator (no download) which will put PD on the map.
2. Do the same for gens 1-4
3. Once requested, make a gen 5 simulator, which can complete with showdown thanks to a userbase now
4. People will stay because pokedream isn't terrible like other sites, outside of Dogar's yearly fun
5. Become the best, the best that ever was
7. Profit
If only I could get my computer to talk to itself via the internet.
help me Ed, your one of my hopes that are waning
I know less than nothing about that ._. I've never been able to set up a server.

ZF-8914: Specifying numeric parameter name for page link generates incorrect URL
Tested on 1.10.0beta and 1.10.0rc1
When trying to generate links like the following:
http://localhost/news/view/6/zf-1.10.0rc1-released
Specifying the parameter '6' generates URLs as follows:
http://localhost/news/view/0/zf-1.10.0rc1-released
Casting the parameter number to a string has no effect.
$pages = array(
'module' => 'default',
'controller' => 'news',
'action' => 'view', 'params' => array($item['id'] => 'zf-1.10.0rc1-released'), 'label' => 'zf-1.10.0rc1-released, 'route' => 'www-index', 'resource' => 'www', );
$entry = new Zend_Navigation_Page_Mvc($page); $container->addPage($entry);
Adding characters to the param, for example using...
http://localhost/news/view/…
...works as expected.
The problem is the assemble() methods in Zend_Controller_Router_* classes, it is due to the way PHP's array_merge function (http://www.php.net/array_merge) works.
Take this example:
[lloyd@veritas Zend]$ php -a Interactive shell
php > $arr1 = array(); php > $arr2 = array(1 => 'value 1', 'page' => 'page 1'); php > $merged = array_merge($arr1, $arr2); php > var_dump($merged); array(2) { [0]=> string(7) "value 1" ["page"]=> string(6) "page 1" }
You'd expect to get array(2) { '1' => 'value 1', 'page' => 'page 1', } or similar back. Casting the array keys to strings does not help.
This means that it is not possible to use the routers to generate URIs with a numerical value using the present system.
One approach to fix this issue would be to create custom array_merge functionality which keeps the array key link even when numerical. I'll happily volunteer to create this is people wish.
I'll generate Unit Tests for this issue as soon as I get an opportunity.
Additional failing test is @ line 465 - 494 (testCanGenerateNumericKeyUri)
Taken from trunk @ 2010-05-16 12:30pm BST
Have updated Zend_Controller_Router_Rewrite::assemble() method with alternative to array_merge() function to pass unit tests.
I've also attached an updated unit test file to perform required tests. Test is located in Zend_Controller_Router_RewriteTest::testCanGenerateNumericKeyUri().
Fixed in svn r22416 on trunk and r22417 on release-1.10. Patch by Lloyd Watkin.

Well folks, I say it will come about just any time now. It is daily missle exchange and attacks on GAZA.
Out of options: Report says U.S. must prepare to strike Iran before 2013 | World Tribune
een watching this thread for quite a while...I think things may continue as is for a while longer. With all the various 'active measures' within Iran being pulicized recently (Stuxnet virus, numerous nuc. scientists assassinations, mysterious facility explosions/sabotage) it seems to me that Israel is doing this the cold war way. See: Iran: The Secret War
That way their is much more FUD(fear, uncertainty, doubt) about who and how, thus no real smoking gun that says they are definitely involved and no public opinion fallout in the world media...
I'd venture that we are involved too up to our elbows in the covert stuff...i.e. our 'losing' a stealth drone in Iran last week. Oops... No doubt there are black ops going on all around the various borders to sniff out weaknesses/pre-targeting intel stuff.
The key thing is whether the head-honchos at the various three letter agencies and Mossad agree that th nuke development is really at a particular stage or not. We all know we got it wrong big-time in Iraq. I'd verture that we may have some assets inside Iran, but whether they can access the state of the nuke program is another thing all together. To wrap up: Vegas odds on a US vs Iran war in the next 5-6 months -> 3:2 (was 10 to one previously) Unconfirmedsources.com
My odds that Israel attacks Iranian nuke sites within next 6 months -> 8:1
If I dumped thirteen rounds onto my niegbor, it would be full WAR!
IAF strikes Gaza targets following spike in ro... JPost - Defense
I'm going to put on my Tin Foil hat and propose that a certain presidential candidate will make sure nothing happens unless he a sure loser, then for the good of the country our elections will be postponed, and I'll leave it up to your imagination what will happen. Its just one scenario that I hope that doesn't happen.:hatprop:
Interesting summation of what each MUZZIE country has going on.
Unrest in the Arab World
Israel will solve the problem while the squatter in the WH plays his fiddle
If he lets Israel go down he won't be able to hide anywhere in the world!
IRAN may have declaired WAR on themselves? They had another Explosion in a steel plant today.
Hmmm...well Israel is heating things up so it seems:
"A senior Israeli cabinet minister on Monday said Iran must be forced to face an existential question over its nuclear drive: choose between getting an atomic bomb, or survival."
Iran must chose between a bomb or survival: Israel
I'd say that is a pretty strong hint from them.
I looked at that neat map link Musi: If Israel does a strike, they need to cross either Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria or Turkey...then Iraq to get to the target. While privtely Saudi govt. would be in favor of them doing it, they will not allow it openly. We might be able to strong-arm them into not noticing if need be, but with the craziness going on in Syria now I'd bet that the IAF is mapping out where things are breaking down now in Syria with their forces too busy handling internal unrest. What do you guys think..?
I think... that we are seeing the next level of escalation in the Iranian mess. That next level includes covert sabotage of strategic military assets such as long range missiles and nuke resources. That puts the ball in the Iranian court.
The greatest challenge that the west faces is incompetant intel. Without quality intel data it is the same old blind, elephantine routine. Israeli air strike(s) are out due to range over hostile islamic territory. That doesn't rule out ICBMS on Iran.
If you look over a map of the AO you'll see that Iran and Syria are only about 130 miles apart through the mountains (not a cool place to hike). Iran supplies Hamas terrorists with materiel through Syria. Hamas and its' fellow terror groups then shoot the stuff at Israel routinely.
The short term solution is to cut Syria out of the supply linkage. The next issue is ending the current leadership in Iran for keeps. We may see these strategic issues addressed during the US Presidential change in 2012.
We are living in interesting times.

Washington currently has four toll facilities:
You can also visit the future tolling planning page for a complete list of corridors under tolling consideration.
Washington state is integrating tolling as a strategic tool to help manage congestion, enhance mobility and generate revenue for future improvements. WSDOT's phased approach to regional tolling is informed by regional and statewide transportation plans and project needs. When studying tolling, WSDOT evaluates the funding and congestion management needs for a corridor along with impacts and benefits to the transportation system and surrounding communities.Since 2007, WSDOT has implemented a range of tolled projects that are helping to fund new facilities and manage traffic throughout the state. Ultimately, the Washington state Legislature determines which facilities are authorized to be tolled. The Washington State Transportation Commission determines the toll rates.
Each facility has different toll rates. Visit toll rates page for more details. Visit toll rate setting process page to learn more about how toll rates are decided.
You do not need an account or vehicle pass to use a tolled bridge. However, the easiest and least expensive way to pay is with a Good To Go! Pass Account. Choose the option that's best for you.
Drivers using a rental car can open a Short Term Account to pay their toll within 72 hours of crossing the SR 520 or Tacoma Narrows bridges. We recommend you check with your rental car agency to review their policy regarding tolls if you plan to travel a tolled bridge in a rental car.
SR 167 HOT Lanes To use SR 167 HOT lanes as a solo driver, you must open a Good To Go! pre-paid account and install a pass in your vehicle prior to your first trip. Visit SR 167 HOT lanes page to learn more. Don't know what Good To Go! is? Visit Good To Go! website to learn more.
Toll Bill Pay toll bill online or visit toll bill guide to learn more about toll bills and your options.

We don't tend to think of the vagina as empowering; to the contrary. With a legacy of Western shame, from the church fathers' insistence that the vagina was "a sewer" and "the devil's door" to pussy jokes on college campuses, the vagina has long been cast as a shameful hole, or an absence, or a fetishized sex organ, or something to be mocked. In our culture, it's most often medicalized or commodified, as by rock musician John Mayer, who told Playboy there were days when he viewed 300 vaginas on porn websites before getting out of bed. When a woman considers how vaginas are regarded today, she is unlikely to feel deeply empowered. Even if she has a positive attitude toward her own vagina, she might feel awkward, exposed or conflicted about how others value or devalue it. Indeed, the vagina seems to be the one body part that is also a Rorschach: The way a given culture views the vagina is often the way women are expected to see themselves.
But the latest neuroscience challenges everything we think we know about the female organ and sexuality. It turns out that the vagina (I use this term to include the whole nexus of vagina, clitoris, labia, etc.) really is women's superpower. Because of the delicate relationship between the female brain and the vagina—the pelvic nerves connect to the spine, sending impulses to the hypothalamus, which regulates hormones—many cutting-edge scientists regard these two organs as parts of a single system. The vagina is really the gateway for the neurotransmitters that generate confidence, creativity and the sense of interconnection. Sexual stimulation and the anticipation of orgasm release dopamine, the ultimate feminist chemical: It motivates and energizes; it makes you more assertive and more confident. Orgasm releases oxytocin and opioids. Oxytocin makes you trusting and able to bond, and opioids give you that sense of bliss and ecstasy that often inspires creative work.
So a woman's vagina can help make her bold, courageous and imaginative—in short, exactly what patriarchal culture has historically feared. This explains why, for at least 5,000 years, around the globe, so much male energy has gone into subduing, controlling and even traumatizing the vagina.
I studied the letters and biographies of many women who accomplished great leaps in their creative work—women who, for instance, broke away from the frame of realism in painting, like Georgia O'Keeffe, or made breakthroughs in their writing, like Edith Wharton, who was transformed by her three-year affair with the seductive Morton Fullerton. The work of revolutionary Emma Goldman escalated after her involvement with physician and activist Ben Reit-man. While we can't prove cause and effect, there's evidence that the women's creativity was enhanced by an apparent erotic awakening, -experienced either on their own or with a partner. By inflaming the woman's physical passions and provoking her mind, the man seemed to unleash her dormant energies and spark her appetite for risk and self-assertion (in the examples I looked at, most of the partners were men, though the same-sex awakenings were at least as passionate). What these women's stories suggest is an inspiring message to us all. The well-treated vagina—one that is never harmed, threatened or traumatized, one that is lovingly tended by the woman herself or by a lover—can free up aspects of women's creative potential.
The latest science confirms the mind-vagina synergy in multiple ways and shows that our understanding of female sexual response—fixed for many of us in the 1970s by The Hite Report and Masters and Johnson's research—is far out of date. For example, Professor Barry Komisaruk and his team at Rutgers University in New Jersey have found that several areas of the female body send out sexual impulses and that different kinds of stimulation—vaginal, clitoral, cervical and nipple—light up different parts of the brain, each part associated with a specific function (memory, pain, etc.). And according to Jeffrey Cole, MD, a pelvic-nerve specialist in New York City, every woman is wired differently, not just psychologically but physically, which means each woman has her own path to sexual pleasure.

Found this terribly interesting article that leads me to question my own strong opinions about spirits:
Of course, that doesn't explain temperature drops, electromagnetic events, items levitating, floating lights, doors slamming, water being turned on and off, lights being turned on and off, etc.Neuroscientists investigating a young woman with epilepsy believe they have stumbled on an explanation why some people feel a ghostly presence nearby or develop paranoia or persecution.
The 22-year-old woman was being assessed for brain surgery for epilepsy but was otherwise psychologically healthy.
Part of this evaluation was to pinpoint the area needed for surgery, using thin electrodes implanted into a region of the brain.
Reporting the case in tomorrow's issue of Nature, the weekly British science journal, the doctors said that when they sent a small current to the woman's left temporoparietal junction, she said she had the impression there was somebody behind her.
The person was a "shadow", young and of indeterminate sex and did not speak, she said.
The doctors slightly increased the current and changed the woman's position from lying down to seated, and got her to hug her knees.
She then said she felt the creepy presence of man who was also sitting and who was clasping her unpleasantly in his arms.
The current was slightly increased further and the woman, this time seated, carried out a language test, reading from a card held in her right hand. She reported the presence of a sitting "person," this time displaced behind her to her right, who tried to interfere with the test.
"He wants to take the card... he doesn't want me to read," she said.
The sensation was so real that at no time did the woman realise that it was an illusion generated by her own mind, said the Swiss authors of the case study.
The temporoparietal junction is used for social reasoning - to assess oneself and distinguish oneself from others.
"Our findings may be a step towards understanding the mechanisms behind psychiatric manifestations such as paranoia, persecution and alien control," the authors said.
Also, I lived in a house that was terribly haunted, everyone in the home experienced it. We lost a bottle of peroxide and when dad commanded it back, next morning it reappeared in the middle of the living room floor. I don't think that all the people in the house over looked something in the middle of the floor.
What about the bruises and scratches on me? Including in the middle of my back, and the hand shaped bruise on my arm that I couldn't have self inflicted as the thumb was on the outside of my left arm in a way that I couldn't have reached. I also woke up with bandaids wrapped around my fingers on several occasions. I didn't do it.
Then there was the paint can lid.. When I was sitting in an upstairs bedroom painting the door my hair was being pulled constantly. When I was done and I went to put the lid back on the paint can, it wasn't to be found. We put the paint in something else and a full 2 weeks later the paint can lid appeared on the back of the toilet in the downstairs bathroom with the paint still wet. Explain that as a trick of the mind.
Money (coins) appeared scattered throughout the house. Screws and nails appeared face up on the stairs over and over. Old nails with square heads but no rust. Small tacks, etc.
Keyla my dog was afraid in that house. She would yelp and hide behind me and jump at nothing. She would stair at nothing and urinate and act frightened. She went nuts in that house and my mom got rid of her for it. She wasn't like that in Bourbonais.
Doesn't explain witches being able to command ghosts to haunt people WHO DONT KNOW they were supposed to being haunted. Witches can command spirits to guard things, haunt people, etc. Really powerful witches are supposed to be able to do even more.
What about the floating loaf of bread? Me and dad were in the kitchen and a loaf of bread floated off the counter and into the middle of the room, levitated there for a little bit then fell to the floor in slow motion. We both sat there stunned for a minute without saying anything. He was peeling a cantaloupe. He put the spoon down he had been digging the seeds out with and got up and put the bread back on the counter. We were both at least 5 feet from the bread. The bread was in the counter near the sink, floated out to the middle of the room in front of the stove and then descended to the floor.
Seeing the ghosts wasn't what frightened me in the house in St. Anne. It was the physical abuse, the items disappearing and reappearing.
Anyway! I guess the point of this thread is to gather other opinions on ghosts/spirits and other experiences with the supernatural. So, please, discuss if you think I am psycho or if you have had similar experience.

As we battle re-entry into the office after a three-day weekend, let's look at what the next two nights offer.
As I wrote during the weekend, Willie Nelson is a must-see show in my view. Don't believe me? Read this. Also, music starts at 7 p.m. with opener Rayland Baxter, a folkie who is returning to Salt Lake City just a few months after opening for The Civil Wars. Tickets remain on sale.
Also, one of my favorite dance-rock bands hit The Urban Lounge on Tuesday night as Oregon's Starfucker play their second gig in town in two nights. Tickets are $13 and are available at 24tix.com.
And Wednesday night, heavy metal rockers Down hit The Depot for an 8 p.m. show. Tickets start at $25. Down features former Pantera singer Phil Anselmo, pictured above, so you know it will rock.

The Phillips County Sheriff's Department reported Monday that the burned body discovered on Highway 44 just north of Highway 242 near Helena was identified to be that of Elliot Bennett of Helena-West Helena. The Arkansas State Crime in Little Rock made the identification on Thursday. The body was found Dec. 18 at approximately 8:30 a.m. Helena-West Helena police officers responded to the call and preserved the crime scene until Phillips County Sheriff's Department criminal investigators and Arkansas State Police arrived to process the area. At the time Phillips County Sheriff's deputies had little information to go on. The body was so badly burned it could not be determined whether it was the body of a black or white male. The remains were sent to the state crime lab for an autopsy. A passerby told a Memphis television station that that he saw the burned body just after midnight while driving along Highway 44 on his way to check his repair shop in the area. The man reported that he thought the body was a charred mannequin. He said when he saw investigators on the roadside he realized that he had indeed seen a body. No additional information was made available by the Sheriff's Office at this time pending further investigation.

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 14 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by amali love! i put this over my charcoal gray wyatt sectional sofa and it goes perfectly. it picks up different colors during the day and evening. super easy to match with any decor. also, it's one of those pieces where you can focus on different colors in different seasons. March 23, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by m love it! I put this in my office and I and all of my clients marvel at how much we love it. It is cheerful with out being obnoxious due to the subtle shades. I couldn't be happier with it. December 22, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Amy Perfect addition to living room I bought this for our living room. The wall color is "composed" by Sherwin Williams, which is a bluish green color, and I've used red/gray accents in the room. I have had a hard time finding modern wall art for this room, because of my color scheme. This piece of art is fantastic in the room, and works beautifully on top of the mantel! August 31, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by redhed84 Muted and elegant I agree that the actual canvas is darker than pictured. The background color is gray and the colors not as bright as pictured. But my living room is dark gray so this goes PERFECTLY and introduces some color without detracting from the calm of the room. This is on the maltle over my fireplace and I couldn't love it more! May 30, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rebekah Beautiful I was hoping the comments about this painting being darker than pictured were all slightly exaggerated. I have to admit, they aren't. The original plan for this painting was for my bedroom, yet it is more earthy than expected and doesn't look right in there. It does, however, fit perfectly in our living room and brings it all to life. So, long story short, I love it! It's beautiful!!! February 28, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Heidi LOVE IT!! I went to the local WM to see this in person, but they didn't have it. After hesitating for a few weeks about comments made about the color being darker, I just bit the bullet and ordered it... I couldn't be happier. It is a terrific fit for my guest bedroom! Highly recommended! January 7, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by PJP Love those colors! I hung this gorgeous canvas in my bedroom- which is a light sage green- and it looks perfect. Talk about a great way to add a little pop to a room! August 22, 2010
Rated 4 out of 5 by Momofboys34 Definitely Darker Background than shown Great art! Background color is definitely more of a darker gray than the picture shows however, I saw it in store and new it would match my family room decor perfectly. Very easy to hang. Not too feminine, used it above our fireplace. May 27, 2011

Gardening Articles: Landscaping :: Container Gardening & Ponds
No-Soil Gardening (page 4 of 5)
by Howard M. Resh
Plant Care and Training
The easiest way to support vine crops like cucumbers and tomatoes is to tie their stems to polyethylene string running from a support bar attached to ceiling hooks or from a support frame. Place hinged plastic stem clips under a strong leaf stem every foot or so along the plant's main stem. The clamp's hinge pinches the string when the clamp is closed. For additional support, wind the string around the main stem of the plant--one or two wraps between each set of clips.
Train tomatoes and cucumbers to single stems and peppers to two stems. On tomatoes, pinch out all side shoots at leaf axils when they are about an inch long.
Remove all suckers and tendrils from cucumbers. Also remove all fruit for the first 3 to 4 feet (using a step stool if necessary) then allow every other fruit to grow up to the support bar. Cut the top of the plant there allowing two side shoots to grow over the support bar and two-thirds of the way back down the main stem before pinching their growing tips. Allow all fruit to grow on these two stems. After they have produced fruit, cut them back to the second side shoot near the overhead support, and these will start growing again.
Tomato flowers must be hand-pollinated. Vibrate the flowers for several seconds with your finger or a soft brush. Once fruits set, remove all but five per cluster to obtain uniform production and ripening.
Tomatoes need about three months from seeding to first harvest, cucumbers about two months. The plants will grow for up to a year but become less productive with age and therefore should be replanted after six months. Each plant within this period can yield 20 pounds or more of fruit, while cucumbers should produce two or three fruits per week during their harvesting period. Peppers take longer to mature and produce fewer fruit than tomatoes.
Butterhead-type lettuce such as 'Bibb' is ready to harvest 35 to 40 days from transplanting, about the same time as for leaf lettuces. You can also cut them at less than half that age to use with herbs and small-leaved vegetables in a mesclun mix.
Harvest herbs regularly as soon as they have enough leaves that their growth won't be set back by picking. Pinch off any flowers that form on mint or basil to keep the plants vegetative. Prune back any woody stems that develop, especially on basil.

While nobody on the fifth-ranked heavyweight rowing team would confuse a regular-season race with the Eastern Sprints, there is still something special about the traditional Cup races that fill up the team's Saturday mornings in April.
And no trophy has the same tradition as the Childs Cup.
The 102nd Childs Cup regatta will be held at Overpeck Lake this weekend, and for the first time in the history of the regatta, Princeton will come into the weekend with the all-time series lead. Winners in 18 of the last 19 meetings between themselves, Penn and Columbia, the Tigers have won three straight in this series.
"To be a part of something as historic as the Childs Cup is really something I enjoy as there really isn't anything else like it on our schedule," senior captain Michael Evans said. "I feel like it's this historic element that really brings home the message that Princeton rowing is so much greater than just the guys on your team, and to think that there was someone just like you racing for this Cup every year all the way back to 1879 is just one of the many things I love about this race."
Penn defeated Princeton by 12 seconds in 1879, and the Tigers have been playing catch-up ever since. They finally pulled ahead last season on Lake Carnegie, topping Penn by more than 13 seconds.
Of course, Princeton is more concerned about both the present and near future than it is with history. The Tigers have won all three races this season, including last weekend's victory over 10th-ranked Navy.
"The first two races this year have been encouraging in that we came away with wins and that we learned a lot about where we need to improve from both a technical and tactical standpoint," Evans said. "Neither race was by any means perfect, which is to be expected so early on in the season, but we were able execute on the fundamental points we've been working on indoors throughout the winter season."
Racing begins at 9 am, and will continue every 20 minutes through 10:20 am, when the first varsity competition will be held. Penn comes into the weekend ranked 13th, while Columbia is currently 15th. Penn placed third in the San Diego Crew Classic last weekend, while Columbia topped a trio of New England schools, including Ivy rival Dartmouth, last Saturday.
All eight Ivy League schools are currently ranked inside the Top 20.
