ZF-8906: Create Zend_Validate_Equal or Add Strict Option to Zend_Validate_Identical
I've gotten messages like these from Zend_Validate_Identical a few times:
The token '0000002031' does not match the given token '2031'
The token '2031' does not match the given token '2031'
Adding an Int filter to the element solves the problem, but it seems like having an option to not do a strict comparison could be useful. I know this would make a mockery of the "Identical" part of the name, but I thought I'd put it out there.
But "000002031" is not the same as "2031".
It would not work even it I use non-strict comparison as the input is given as string. You would need to filter it to a number in any case.

(why doesn't he run for office again?) made some of these points in his introduction to the meal, pointing out the importance of good food. The chefs knocked themselves out creating memorable dishes and Francis Fecteau of Libation (read his wine words here on most Fridays) matched the food with the wine superbly.
And I have to say the diners did their part, too-we all ate enthusiastically.
Appetizer: Liberty Heights Fresh chef David Hammel made an open faced "slider" of Canyon Meadow beef on a potato pancake sided by a beet chip topped with lavender-laced chevre, plus a shooter of honeydew and cucumber. Atrea "The Choir" and Uinta Brewing Company's Tilted Smile Imperial Pilsner (that's one of the ones with the Leia Bell labels) were the beverages.
First course: Forage's salad of baby vegetables wtth edible dirt-one of the restaurant's signature dishes featuring a lovely plated garden of baby carrots, Christmas radishes, some pickled, some blanched, some raw, sprinkled with toasted malt and served with Gruner Veltliner Hiedler, Loess. Chef-owners Viet Pham and Bowman Brown lined up the plates in the kitchen in an assembly line and built the arrangements with better-than-Detroit precision.
Greg Neville of Lugano made agnolotti del plin, a vegetarian pasta dish with all the umami of heavy beef. As usual, Neville waxed scholarly about the tradition and preparation of this dish-he researches his food nearly fanatically. The pasta was made with organic eggs from Milford Farms ("not as yellow as pasta made from Italian eggs," chef observed), stuffed with kale and other greens ground like meat and served with more chard, butter and Gold Creek Farms Parmesan. I think I got that right. Check it out for yourself-it's on the menu at Lugano. People were literally licking their plates. I won't name names.
With it, Trinafour "Sawyer Vintage," a dry Muscat Canelli, an unusual wine and a perfect match.
Nathan Powers from Bambara devoted his usual day off to doing what he says he does at home on Sundays anyway-grilling chicken.
Last night, it was thighs from Heritage Valley Organics-pick up the latest issue of Salt Lake magazine to read all about this chicken rancher up in Tramonton). Powers wrapped the thighs and some fresh figs in pancetta, grilled them and finished them off with sweet corn butter. Fantastic. Fecteau picked a 2006 Venta Mazzaron, Vinas del Cenit, from some ancient tortured Spanish vineyards to go with. I forgot to take a picture of my food until I had eaten half of it.
Michael Richey from Pago grilled chunks of Morgan Valley lamb sirloin and served it over "beluga lentils," a pretty metaphor for quinoa because it has the mouth-popping quality of whitefish roe and minted baby carrots. Warwick, 3 Cape Ladies, Red was the wine, but by this time I was fading out on the notetaking and the picture-taking.
Only to be shocked wide awake by Amber Billingsley's extraordinarily wonderful dessert. She's become the gelato queen, making it for the dessert menu at Vinto where husband Robert Angellili (also a mushroom dealer) chefs. Last night, she made a gelato from candy cap mushrooms-no, really -and plopped it on a sweet corn galette, sprinkled with chunks of ripe peach and caramel scented with the same sherry we were served as our final wine-Bodegas Alvear, Montilla, Morales, Solera 1927.
This was a concentration of food geeks who loved being interrupted in their eating by a chef or by Francis, giving details about the food and wine.
But I have my own personal proof of how successful a dinner this was: I was seated next to Linda and Jamie Gillmor, owners of Morgan Valley Lamb; instead of talking about how they raise their animals, which restaurant buys their lamb, how they cook lamb themselves, general restaurant and food gossip, we became engaged in a meaningful conversation about the importance of listening to the music your children enjoy.
Good food, well served, leads to conversation, human interaction, community. As much as nurturing the planet and our fellow creatures, as much as fostering healthy eating and wholesome meals, this is what Slow Food is all about.
Well, I didn't get it all done this weekend. I still need to go by and try at Campfire Sundae at Bambara. But we covered plenty of good food.

If you've ever been eager to put a face to the many notable poems of Emily Dickinson, you may have your (second) chance.
The Associated Press reports a collector has donated a daguerreotype of the poet to Amherst College, dating to 1859 or so—only the second known photo of Dickinson, experts say—in which she is pictured with a friend, Kate Scott Turner. It has been proposed that Dickinson and Turner were in a lesbian relationship, according to the news service.
"This is photographic evidence of their friendship, whatever the nature of that friendship was," Mike Kelly, head of the Amherst archive and special-collections department, tells the AP. "… This is really when she's coming into the height of her powers. To see her as this fully mature woman rather than this sickly little girl, I think it just shifts the way people think about what she's writing."

One of our well-respected business bloggers, Scott Messinger, indicates in his articles that starting up a business is no child's play. He mentioned that if you want to have more time with your family through your startup business, you should think again. From my experience, Scott's advice is something that you should look up to.
Most people start their first company while they still have a day job. It makes sense: You don't need loans. You don't need funding. And if you "fail," all you've lost is time.
But you've also placed yourself in a hazardous – potentially legally ambiguous – situation. If managed improperly, you're unnecessarily risking lawsuits and worse.
Marcia Mellitz, president of a St. Louis-based technology business incubator, recounts the roller coaster tale of two entrepreneurs who ride the wave of startup, failure, and ultimately success.
The founder and CEO of American Reading Company, Jane Hileman, has seen her company grow from a few teachers ten years ago to 111 employees today who provide books and reading goals for students to encourage a love of reading. Hileman's goals are revenue growth, profitability, and success.
First-time CEOs may find it daunting to establish their first board of directors. This topic expert details a four-step process to building boards that can help growth companies thrive.
Richard Jarman sees entrepreneurship as the backbone of the American economy, and he's doing his part to help by mentoring up-and-coming entrepreneurs.
In this Collection overview article, this entrepreneur and director argues boards of directors are critical success factors in fast-growing companies. This expert debunks a set of common misconceptions many entrepreneurs have about boards and outlines why an entrepreneur should build one.
For David Moody, giving back should be a "habit from the heart," started even before success arrives.
When Arthur M. Blank talks about entrepreneurship - what it takes to create, build and grow a company - he talks about principles. And, when he talks about principles, he talks about giving back.

Source: Phillip Merling out for season with Achilles' injury
UPDATE: Phillip Merling's nightmare offseason just got worse.
According to a Dolphins source, the troubled defensive end is headed for season-ending surgery after suffering a recent injury to his Achilles tendon. Initially it was unclear if the injury was a strain or a tear, but as of this evening further tests have shown it is indeed a tear.
The injury, first reported Thursday afternoon by Pro Football Talk, took place during normal offseason workouts, the source said. That means Merling will still draw a salary of $600,000 for the 2010 season, which was to be his third in the league.
Merling already was in hot water and facing a felony battery charge in connection with a late May incident involving his pregnant girlfriend.
Taken with the first pick of the second round in 2008, Merling has been an overall disappointment so far in his pro career. He lost a starting spot to Randy Starks last summer, and the Dolphins went out and drafted another defensive end, Penn State's Jared Odrick, in the first round this April to compete with Merling.
Now it looks like Odrick, who had been running as Merling's backup at right defensive end during offseason practices, will enter training camp as the starter.
Other options include fifth-year veteran Tony McDaniel, second-year man Ryan Baker, third-year pro Lionel Dotson and fourth-year pro Ikaika Alama-Francis. McDaniel is coming off an offseason arrest of his own, a charge of domestic violence on Super Bowl Sunday.
Merling becomes the second top-tier defensive lineman the Dolphins have lost in the past week. Veteran nose tackle Jason Ferguson unexpectedly retired on June 15, leaving Starks and Paul Soliai to handle nose tackle duties.
So how do you feel about the Dolphins' outlook on the defensive line now? Do you think they should go with what they have or do they need to go out and add a veteran presence of some sort?

Take Action
Interested in supporting our goal to reduce consumption of soda and other sugary drinks? Consider joining our grassroots Action Network to receive occasional alerts with information and opportunities to support nutrition and reduce sugary drink consumption. View our recent Action Alerts below:
Support Mayor Bloomberg's Proposal to Limit the Serving Size of Sugary Drinks
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg recently submitted a proposal to limit serving sizes of soda and other sugary drinks to a maximum of 16 ounces. Sugary drinks are the only food or beverage that have been directly linked to obesity and are the single largest contributors of calories to the American diet, as well as a leading source of added sugars. The limitation will help cut down on some soda consumption and slow the expansion of New Yorkers' waistlines.
The Mayor's leadership on the soda issue provides a good model for other jurisdictions to follow, because overweight and obesity have become commonplace throughout America, mirroring the growth of soda serving sizes over the past five decades. More than two-thirds of adults and one in three children are overweight or obese in this country. While Mayor Bloomberg's proposal may not alone solve our obesity problem, it is a step in the right direction.
Please send a letter to encourage the Board of Health to vote in support of the Mayor's proposal to limit serving sizes!

Galeria Contempo Announces Alfonso Peña Exhibition
Published Mar 20, 2013, 11:47am -
Galeria Contempo will showcase the works of local artist Alfonso Peña this Friday, March 22, in an exhibition entitled "Encaustic & Resin," from 6 - 10 pm.
Hailing from Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Peña arrived in Puerto Vallarta in 1996. It was an artist friend of his who suggested he exhibit his art, which up to that point had been private: solely for himself, his family and friends. He found representation in Annapolis, Maryland, at a gallery that so successfully unloaded his art that it continued to solicit his work. In Vallarta, his art hangs at Galeria Contempo where he has been showing for the last two years.
"Everyone projects their own interior color," Peña says. "Yet since each human being is constantly transcending their limitations, their colors fluctuate. As does the green of nature, which is sometimes benevolent and sometimes not, just like our thoughts.
Peña graciously revealed the principal materials he used in composing his latest art works; bee's wax and resin (from trees or vegetables). He also uses oils, acrylic, knives and cut-outs from printed media.
Galeria Contempo is located at Basilio Badillo 252 in Emiliano Zapata.

The Lincoln Park Zoo and CS invited guests to a Chicago "must attend" fundraiser, Zoo-ologie. The Lincoln Park Zoo was transformed into a Chicago rendition of ancient Rome. A lavish archway of greenery and beautiful white flowers led guests through the luxurious tent stretching across the Main Mall. Gourmet food stations were scattered amongst the tree circles, where guests savored some of Chicago's tastiest offerings.

If Park City's three-term Mayor Dana Williams had a tag line, it might read, "We built this city on rock and roll." Over the last 12 years, Park City citizens have proudly pointed out that their Hawaiian-shirted mayor plays in a rock and roll band and works as a local barista.
Williams' colorful character and musical talent, though, belie his credentials as a soil conservation expert and a skilled social activist. His environmental bent is based on time spent managing his family's farm in Coalville and his political platform was honed by years of participation in grassroots citizen groups.
This week, Williams announced he will not be seeking another term, ending a tenure that focused on environmentalism and serving regular citizens. He emphasized that he was making the announcement well ahead of the official filing deadline in order to give potential candidates lots of time to consider running. Like the mayors who came before him, Williams has represented a particular period in time.
Coincidentally, one of his predecessors, Leon Uriarte, passed away this week.
Uriarte served in the 1970s when the city's future was still fragile, long before the city earned its bragging rights as an Olympic host. And like the city he served at the time, he was a humble man, a beloved school custodian and city maintenance supervisor.
In 1978 Jack Green, was elected mayor and inherited the difficult task of reconciling a town in transition between a dwindling population of old-timers and an influx of new residents.
Then came Hal Taylor, with his cowboy hat, his swagger and infectious laugh. Taylor was emblematic of a fast-growing ski town whose reputation was on the rise.
When Taylor stepped down, the seat was filled by Brad Olch, whose financial acumen helped groom Park City to host the 2002 Olympic Winter Games. Olch's contributions were more of the behind-the-scenes variety, but no less vital. Under his direction the city invested in open space and became a more professional operation.
Each mayor has left an indelible stamp on Park City. Unlike individual city councilors, who are characterized by their ability to work as a team, a mayor is asked to represent the personality of his or her community.
Park City has been extremely lucky to have benefited from the service of a long list of colorful and committed public servants.
The question now is: What kind of mayor will best represent Park City's future and, importantly, who is willing to serve?

Thanks to my crack investigative reporting, I've recently noticed an influx of tomato red bags dangling from the arms of chic New Yorkers. I've never considered the hue myself (until now), and I must say I'm intrigued. Here's what I think: Warmer months are made for wearing a shot of bold color and this particular hue is feminine but not prissy, bold but not kooky. It looks equally great with black, denim and especially all your "greige" neutrals. And then it hit me: I know this color! It's on my radar because it was all over the runways at the fall 2011 fashion shows, as an accent (a belt, a collar), and also on its own in all its glory (a dress). Take a look and give it some thought, I promise you it's a better mood booster than a box of doughnuts.
Go! Buy! Be Chic!

Matt Morganti
Meet the Farmer: M&M Farms
Matt Morganti is not a gentleman farmer. Chances are his own hands have touched the vegetables and greens he supplies to The Paris, Sea Salt, Mazza, both of Scott Evans' restaurants, Pago and Finca, and sometimes Liberty Heights Fresh. Starting with his own backyard garden near Liberty Park, Morganti has grown his business slowly, keeping pace with the small farm-to-table restaurants as they have flourished. "Pago really was supportive from the beginning," says Morganti about the struggles to establish an urban farm. (M&M is in Salt Lake City limits.) "I had to learn what the chefs like to cook, what to plant and when to pick—some prefer smaller beets, some like certain cherry tomato hybrids." M&M grows potatoes, radishes, salad mixtures, snap peas and bush beans on an acre field and in a couple of hoop houses on the west side of Salt Lake. Thanks to the hoop houses, M&M is a year-round farm. Now Morganti is ready to take it to the next level by increasing his acreage and output and hiring some regular help.
Meet the Farmer: Tifie Ranch
Robert Workman was interested in humanitarianism, not farming. What began as a trucking company evolved into a humanitarian effort in the Democratic Republic of the Congo comprised of several interests—a bricking company, an agricultural program and Tifie Ranch (Tifie stands for Teaching Individuals & Families Independence through Enterprise)—that explore best practices and processes to help promote sustainable agriculture in the DRC. Then the ranch itself evolved into a broader teaching and growing model, working with Utahns to promote sustainable agriculture and producing free-range eggs, meat goats and garden produce. Chefs like Ethan Lappe love the fact that Tifie extends the season with raised beds, frost cloths, shade cloths and their own invention, Bare Bones modular greenhouse buildings. 6100 S.

High blood pressure often goes hand in hand with other health problems. If you have certain health conditions in addition to high blood pressure, it's likely your physician will take this into consideration when selecting treatment. Those conditions include:
High blood pressure itself puts you at higher risk of having one of these conditions. If you already have one or more of these conditions plus high blood pressure, your chance of developing complications increases. A targeted treatment approach may reduce your risk of these complications.
For example, if you have chest pain (angina), your doctor may recommend a beta blocker, which can lower your blood pressure and also prevent your chest pain, reduce your heart rate and decrease your risk of death. If you have diabetes and high blood pressure, taking a diuretic plus an ACE inhibitor can decrease your risk of heart attack and stroke. If you have diabetes, high blood pressure and kidney disease, you may need an ACE inhibitor or an angiotensin II receptor blocker.
Sometimes high blood pressure can be difficult to treat. If your high blood pressure doesn't decrease despite taking at least three different types of high blood pressure drugs, one of which should be a diuretic, you may have resistant hypertension. Resistant hypertension is blood pressure that's resistant to treatment. People who have controlled high blood pressure and are taking four different types of medications at the same time to achieve that control also are considered to have resistant hypertension.
Adding a potassium-sparing diuretic, such as spironolactone (Aldactone), can often restore control of blood pressure in people who have resistant hypertension. A procedure that interrupts the nerve supply (denervation) to the arteries in the kidney is being studied as a promising new technique to help control resistant high blood pressure.
It's not unusual to try several different medications or doses before finding what works best for you. Home monitoring of your blood pressure can help your doctor decide if your blood pressure treatment is working, or if a different dose or medication is necessary. If you and your doctor can identify what's behind your persistently high blood pressure, there's a good chance you can meet your goal with the help of treatment that's more effective.
In most cases, a combination of lifestyle changes and medication can help you successfully control your blood pressure. Once that's done, your doctor may recommend a gradual decrease in medications while monitoring the effect on your blood pressure; however, don't attempt to do this on your own.
Keeping your blood pressure under control may take some time, but in the long run it may mean a longer life, with fewer health problems.

Rated 3.3 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Paul tasty Great in PBJ. Strong hints of ginger and nice texture from junks of ginger and orange peal. On the first bite it surprised me how good it is. May 20, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Shea752 Pretty Good but Not Quite Great I love ginger sweets and treats and had received it with a lot of other things in my Christmas World Market care package (including Chime's GInger Mango chews and 2 tins of ginger altoids- like I said I like ginger sweets and treats). The first time I tried this it was a bit too much for me. I think it may be because I slathered waaaay to much on a single slice of bread. This stuff is powerful and straddles the line between tart and bitter. I've noticed the more you use the more bitter.The more sensible the serving the more enjoyable. I was expecting it to be a very orangey fruit spread with a hint of ginger. It's orange with a handful of ginger. SO yeah... This fruit spread is not for everyone. I've only used this stuff on bread, but I'd love to cook some pork and/or chicken with this stuff. May 29, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Auntieg BITTER AND "CHEMICALLY" I was soo anticipating this - i adore orange marmelade and couldn't wait to open it when it came. I was sooo disappointed. It smelled like some kind of cleaning fluid and tasted worse. Didn't bother to send it back; would've cost more than the jar had in the first place. Gives me chills. July 14, 2013

A decision on whether to allow the restart of a shuttered reactor at the San Onofre nuclear plant could come in March, federal regulators said Monday after a visit to the plant.
A Nuclear Regulatory Commission administrator, part of a group that included NRC Chairwoman Allison Macfarlane, said he and other officials are awaiting responses from plant operator Southern California Edison to questions as they consider Edison's restart proposal.
"We're trying to render a decision in the March time-frame," said Arthur Howell, an NRC deputy regional administrator and manager of the San Onofre special project team.
Once they receive the responses, however, further work might be needed, including onsite inspections.
Both of San Onofre's reactors have been shut down for nearly a year because of problems with the steam generators. The Unit 2 reactor had been shut down for routine maintenance early last January, but on Jan. 31, a small leak of radioactive gas prompted the shutdown of Unit 3.
Edison has proposed restarting its Unit 2 reactor at 70 percent power, which is expected to eliminate vibrations that caused wear among thousands of tubes inside the plant's four steam generators.
Macfarlane and her team visited the nuclear plant and, in Orange County, held separate meetings with the press, environmental activists and community leaders.
"I just want to try to understand the issue better," said Macfarlane, who became chairwoman of the agency in July. "And I think you do that better when you actually visit a place and see the equipment and facilities firsthand."
The meetings, which included labor unions, were held in San Juan Capistrano.
"We need to hear everybody's concerns and make sure that we take account of them," she said.
Macfarlane and her team declined to comment on the push from some activists for a license amendment hearing on San Onofre.
On Wednesday, one group, the Friends of the Earth, will present its case to NRC officials in Maryland that Edison should have obtained a license amendment before installing the four steam generators in a massive, $671 million operation between 2009 and early 2011.
Separately, the same group also has requested a hearing on the proposed startup of Unit 2.
Edison officials said Monday that the next public meeting on San Onofre will take place Feb. 12 in Orange County. The location has not yet been announced.

Alexis Rodriguez's job is not that dissimilar to a maker of fine perfumes. Like his colleagues in that other profession, this grands crus creator can emphasise an aroma that suggests particular ideas to him, or take inspiration from a picture or thought which he patiently reconstructs through layer upon layer of different profiles. A bit like a detective who produces a photofit by combining the traits that most resemble the sought-after face. New approaches to harvesting the coffee cherries or special processing can also open up new combination possibilities, like for the Limited Editions Naora (which was based on a late harvest) and Crealto (which involved long roasting of a number of varieties suited to this level of firing). Not to mention coffees so exceptional in their own right that they need no adding to, like the Indriya from India, Dulsão do Brasil or Rosabaya de Colombia Grands Crus.
"We enter the characteristics of all the coffees we taste around the world into a database," says Alexis, who is responsible for green coffee quality and developing new Grands Crus for Nespresso. "This forms the colour palette which we use to create our Grand Crus." Creative work which involves a team effort from a number of experts. Once the style of the coffee to be developed has been determined, the next stage is to create a prototype which is submitted to the panel of experts for approval. They gather once a week for an informal but serious meeting in which new coffees are considered and must be unanimously accepted.
If they are felt to be too far from the original intention, they are sent back to "the lab" to be corrected. Each capsule contains the solution to a set problem, an equation with a number of unknown variables: the number of different coffee origins, the number of varieties, the proportions, roasting level, quantity and grind... The genesis of the two latest Limited Editions is a good example of the surprising process involved in the introduction of a Nespresso coffee.
With the Napoli and Trieste Limited Editions, Alexis Rodriguez's teams have provided their own interpretation of the Italian espresso. But in order to do so, he and an inter-disciplinary panel had to actually go to Italy to discover it. As far as he is concerned, Italy maintains a deliberate tension between bitterness and acidity in strong coffees.
This elegant quirk of the national palate can be felt in differences between provinces, and even between coffee-sellers. In this deeply creative culture, roasters often come up with their own house blend, and it is not uncommon to find a little coffee roasting factory behind the bar.
The further he went into the Italian boot, the more Alexis was able to see the cruel refinement of Florence, the Latin charm of Rome, the Lombardian sobriety of Milan, the unsinkable technology of Venice, and Palermo's Near Eastern heritage reflected in the local coffee.
So he had to accept that it would be impossible to relay so many distinctive flavours through a single blend. In order to hint at them without including them all, it was decided to conserve only the two most distinctive regional styles. These two ends of the same colour chart would at least make it possible to provide a general idea, like the ancient mariners who always started by mapping an unknown coastline before landing.
Through his exploratory tastings, Alexis had been struck by the power of the espressos that he discovered in two seaports with deep roots in the coffee tradition, separated from each other by both geography and culture: Trieste and Naples. Trieste is tucked between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea, and for a long time was a rival of Venice, with whom it also wrestled for dominance of the coffee trade. It is hard to find a place more different from this city of Balkan influences than Naples, the prize of Italy's other shore and of southern Italy.
Here espresso is valued as the pillar of a most ancient society where it is as essential for life as wine, dried pasta and olive oil. The Italians may have invented the latte macchiato and the cappuccino, but they still love this short coffee. At barely 25 ml, no more than two little mouthfuls worth of liquid that you down at the bar, its aftertaste and length in the mouth have to literally fill the throat in order to create strong sensations in the short amount of time it takes to drink. This high intensity requires a high proportion of Robusta and roasting level to fulfil its aromatic promises. The distinguishing feature of Neapolitan espressos is their high density body marked by Robusta, and the dark red colour of the crema, the layer of foam that crowns every cup. Trieste coffees reveal milder, more delicate aromas with slight acidic notes and their crema is lighter.
Alexis thinks this contrast is partly down to the type of machines used in the two different cities. Neapolitan baristas use the old sort of cafetière with a plunger which lets them regulate the pressure and extraction time manually. This produces often intense results, because in order to produce a maximum amount of flavours, extraction is prolonged, which can sometimes burn the coffee beans.
Trieste, on the other hand, has gone for more sophisticated technology. Its machines have a kettle and pressure pump and regulate themselves, leaving the barista with nothing more to do than choose the amount of coffee and coffee grind. Having gathered this information, Alexis shut himself and his team away in his laboratory for several weeks to come up with two Limited Editions: Trieste, intensity 9, and Napoli, intensity 11, on a scale that had only once ever gone over 10, for Kazaar. Trieste is a pure Arabica which develops delicate notes of cocoa and hazelnut with a fresh fruity undertone – the perfect concoction for a ristretto, or the body of a cappuccino.
Its slightly acidic tones stand out from the genuine bitterness of the Napoli, an Arabica blended with Robusta which makes it thicker and almost syrupy, with smoky and woody notes that simply call for sugar and short extraction times. In terms of body, they are very different – Trieste is pure silk, while Napoli is velvet. As usual, a number of versions of these two Limited Editions were submitted to the blind tasting procedure. Think of it as a commission of experienced tasters feeling their way through the dark until a sensation on the taste buds suddenly opens their eyes. With their instinctive naïve confidence, it is down to these little organs to choose the perfect coffee sensation.

Book Review: Pattern Cutting for Men's CostumePosted by lina
When I first picked up Pattern Cutting for Men's Costume, by Elizabeth Friendship, I wasn't sure what to expect. Some clothing construction books are only useful once or twice; others are the kind you keep on your shelf as a source to be referenced over and over, and after reading through Pattern Cutting for Men's Costume, I could tell that it was this kind.
Unlike books that teach you step by step how to make specific projects, Pattern Cutting for Men's Costume instructs readers on various techniques of drafting patterns that can be used on any project. It goes through ways to expand, decrease, and otherwise alter patterns, and also provides basic patterns for period costume. All of these skills can then be used to adjust patterns to fit any body size and shape. Friendship teaches in the hope that the reader can utilize these techniques on his or her own projects.
Another highlight of the book is its clear instructions and the diagrams used when explaining the various pattern drafting techniques. Many charts of measurements and ratios are provided and are useful to refer back to.
Also provided are the histories of the different types of garments (breeches, shirts, coats, etc.) and how they changed and evolved over time, helping to place them in the correct historical context. The book covers the clothing of men between the 16th and 19th centuries, including different classes and both fashionable and unfashionable clothing.
However, this book wasn't written for complete beginners to sewing and costuming. Friendship assumes prior knowledge to these fields, and some terms are therefore left undefined. Also a little untidy is the presence of a few grammatical errors, though they don't interfere with the clearness of the instructions and will no doubt be corrected in future editions of the book.
It is clear that Elizabeth Friendship is highly qualified to instruct on the subject of pattern cutting. It's shown not only by her detailed directions but also by her impressive resume; she was head of Theatre Design at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama for 25 years and has worked in many different types of productions. This experience is readily noticeable in Pattern Cutting for Men's Costume, and makes it a handy addition to any costumer's library.

Due to the success of the recent petition to force a referendum on a pair of tax increases, county officials are looking at significant shortfalls in their 2012 budget. At the same time, they are tasked with setting next year's budget under the same constraints.
According to the county manager, over the last four years expenses have already been cut to the bone and without the increases the council had been anticipating from the Service Area 6 and Municipal Services tax increases, additional personnel cuts would be necessary. Specifically, those staff reductions would have to come from the roads and public safety departments.
The choices facing the council at this point are grim. After trying to rebuild the county's reserves, they will likely have to dip into them again to cover the 2012 shortfall. But what about next year? In order to live within the budget dictated by the frozen tax rates, the manager believes the sheriff's department could have to lay off five deputies and the roads department also may have to make do with a smaller staff.
There are arguments that could be made for making cuts from higher levels at the county courthouse, but previous suggestions about combining some of the county's elected department-head positions have met with fierce opposition. Also, citizens would not be out of line in asking why the budget has been operating for so long so close to the brink.
We agree with the county's manager's recommendation to reinstate the tax increases for next year and try to stave off another petition by holding a referendum to uphold the tax increases as soon as possible.
In the meantime we also support efforts to re-examine the state's petition law which made it possible for a small percentage of the electorate, many of whom do not live in the relevant service area or pay the tax, to overturn the elected officials' decision. We are hoping state legislators will look at raising the threshold for a successful petition or rewrite the law to limit participation to those who will be affected by them.

Brown Retains Content Cup; Tiger Heavies Take Three Of Four In Home Finale
In the 20th Content Cup regatta, the reigning Eastern Sprints champion Brown varsity eight earned a second straight win over Princeton. Both the Tiger 2V and 3V likely locked up the top seeds at Sprints (May 19 in Worcester, Mass.) with victories over their Brown rivals.
"It was a solid day of racing for the whole squad," Princeton head coach Greg Hughes said. "Both Brown and Princeton are two of the top ranked teams in the EARC this spring and it was good, hard racing on all levels. The 1V, 2V and 3V were all close battles and it looks like we are right in the mix heading into the Sprints."
Brown now holds a 12-8 edge in the series after posting a winning time of 5:46.3, while Princeton finished about a length back in 5:49.3. The race was a tight one throughout the first half, but Brown steadily built its advantage, and though Princeton tried a late push over the final 300 meters, it was unable to get back to even.
The matchup featured two of the top six boats in the country, and fifth-ranked Brown will likely hold its spot in the rankings with the win over No. 6 Princeton. The two would like to meet again in the grand final at the Eastern Sprints, where the 2013 Ivy League champion will be determined.
Princeton won the remaining three races, including important wins in both the second and third varsity showdowns. The Tiger 2V was ranked atop the latest EARC seedings poll, and it topped Brown by more than two seconds with a winning time of 5:53.6.
"Our execution was very good," said junior Mark Dillon. "We knew Brown would hang with us every stroke, so we knew we had to take a lead early. We had one of the best weeks of practice in my three years here, improved our start dramatically, and were extremely well prepared for this race. Beating Brown by any margin is an accomplishment, so winning by 3 seconds is especially satisfying.
"I can't remember the last time a Princeton boat went undefeated, so finishing with this win was huge for us and definitely something we had in mind all week," Dillon added. "We gained a lot of speed this past week so if we keep the focus up I think we can improve even more, something that needs to happen to accomplish our goal of winning gold."
Princeton and Brown were 1-2 in the in the third varsity poll, and the Princeton 3V won by 2.8 seconds in a time of 6:04.2.
The Princeton fourth varsity opened a full morning of racing on Lake Carnegie by topping the Brown 4V by nearly 12 seconds in a time of 6:29.7.
"I am very proud of the races that the 2V, 3V and 4V posted today," Hughes said. "They found the lead and never let go. It was a great way for those crews to finish off a solid regular season and it was a rewarding result for the seniors in their last race on Lake Carnegie."
The Princeton varsity eight concludes its season with a 7-2 record, and will likely hold the fourth seed at Eastern Sprints, though those haven't been officially determined yet. Princeton will not race next week, and then will return to the water in Lake Worcester May 19 looking for its first EARC/Ivy League championship since 2006.
"The next two weeks leading up to the Sprints will be important for our entire team," Hughes said. "Every team gains speed in the lead up to Sprints and we will need to do the same. I can't wait to get back to work on Monday."
Brown 5:46.3
Princeton 5:49.6

Senior Brian Lozes Helped Kick Off Annual Conference USA SAAC Meetings at Children Medical Center
July 17, 2012
IRVING, Texas - Brian Lozes, a senior member of the Tulane cross country and track and field programs helped kick off the annual Conference USA Student-Athlete Advisory Committee meetings by taking a trip with his conference constituents to the Children's Medical Center. Representatives from all 12 current member institutions converged on the Conference USA offices in Irving, Texas to conduct its annual meetings on July 13-15.
The theme of this year's meetings was "Defining the Building Blocks of Leadership" as led by C-USA Director of Compliance and Sports Services Frank Arredondo and Academics and Compliance Assistant Callie Hubbell. The group had a great weekend of learning about how to become a more effective leader, sharing best practices, and identifying goals for the academic year. They also heard from other C-USA staff members as well as guest speaker Leslie Barnes, the director of student-athlete development at Duke University.
This year's meetings, like those in the past, also included community outreach as the student-athletes kicked off the weekend with a visit to Children's Medical Center in Dallas. The SAAC group interacted with patients - reading, playing games and signing autographs. The C-USA student-athletes that made the visit included Jill Jelnick of East Carolina, Meredith Ware of Houston, Peter Starnes of Marshall, Altrese Hawkins of Memphis, Andrew Murphy of Rice, Blake McJunkin on SMU, Alan Howze of Southern Miss, Brian Lozes of Tulane, Lauren Collete of Tulsa, Kaycee Ike of UAB, Lianne Maldonado of UCF and Marrissa Rodriguez of UTEP.
Lozes has been an active member of the Tulane Student Athlete Advisory Committee and was a recipient of Conference USA's Fall Spirit of Service Award in 2011. The senior has been active in the community, helping with Wave Days, volunteering at various on-campus events and was a part of the 2012 Final Four Community Service Imitative that was spear-headed by Tulane University.
On the course, Lozes was one of the top competitors for the men's cross country program this year. The senior led the Green Wave in three of the team's six meets, including a 13th place showing at the McNeese Cowboy Stampede with a time of 20:29.00 over four miles. He ran a season-best 26:40.27 over eight kilometers at the Crimson Classic and finished 51st at the Conference USA Championships. He ran a season-best 35:07.50 for 10K at the NCAA South Central Regional, helping the program return to the regional meet nearly a ten year absence.
Conference USA (C-USA) is a NCAA Division I-A Conference based in Irving, Texas. Its membership consists of 12 schools - East Carolina University, University of Houston, Marshall University, University of Memphis, Rice University, Southern Methodist University (SMU), University of Southern Mississippi, Tulane University, University of Tulsa, University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), University of Central Florida (UCF) and University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP).
This realignment was formed on July 1, 2005, and the conference was first established in 1995. C-USA offers 20 sports total, nine sports for men (baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, tennis and indoor and outdoor track and field) and 11 for women (basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, rowing, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field and volleyball).
Children's Medical Center is a private, not-for-profit system, and is the fifth-largest pediatric healthcare provider in the country with 559 licensed beds, two full-service campuses and 10 outpatient sites. Children's was the state's first pediatric hospital to achieve Level 1 Trauma status and is the only pediatric teaching facility in North Texas, affiliated with UT Southwestern Medical Center.

This month marks the 40th anniversary of Woodstock. Yes, the music festival that had such an impact on our culture took place 40 years ago! Those babies who were born at Woodstock are now 40 years old! And nowadays, it seems like everyone you ask claims they were at Woodstock. Well, I wasn't there. I was still a teenager, too young to drive. And I'm sure my parents would not have let me go even if I could have driven. But, like so many others, I watched the coverage on the television and read the stories in the newspapers. Then, when the movie was finally released, I was able to experience the great music that was made at Woodstock. Yes, there were music festivals before Woodstock, but none of them had the cultural impact that Woodstock did. It was a cultural milestone, the coming of age of the peace and love generation. It was no longer our parents' world. It was our world. We were against the war in Vietnam. We loved rock and roll and we proved that three days of peace, love and music among half a million dirty, hungry young people was possible. Yes, Woodstock changed the world.

At about 1 p.m. the call went out for La Junta emergency personnel to go to 1400 Carson, where there was an automobile-truck collision with injuries involved.
Two injured were transported to Arkansas Valley Regional Medical Center. Ambulance and fire department personnel, paramedics and police were at the scene. People were watching from the hospital down both sides of Carson to 14th Street.
Chief Aaron Eveatt reported, "Two patients were transported to AVRMC with non life threatening injuries. Both patients were the drivers and the only occupants in each vehicle."

Treatment of infertility depends on the cause, how long you've been infertile, your age and your partner's age, and many personal preferences. Some causes of infertility can't be corrected. However, a woman may still become pregnant with assisted reproductive technology. Infertility treatment involves significant financial, physical, psychological and time commitment.
Approaches that involve the male include treatment for general sexual problems or lack of healthy sperm. Treatment may include:
Although a woman may need just one or two therapies to restore fertility, it's possible that several different types of treatment may be needed before she's able to conceive.
Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is any fertility treatment in which the egg and sperm are handled. An ART health team includes physicians, psychologists, embryologists, lab technicians, nurses and allied health professionals who work together to help infertile couples achieve pregnancy.
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is the most common ART technique. IVF involves stimulating and retrieving multiple mature eggs from a woman, fertilizing them with a man's sperm in a dish in a lab, and implanting the embryos in the uterus three to five days after fertilization.
Each year thousands of babies are born in the United States as a result of ART. The success rate of ART is lower after age 35.
Other techniques are sometimes used in an IVF cycle, such as:
Complications of female infertility treatment may include:
Complications of male infertility treatment are rare and may occur following surgery including infection, bruising, or lack of efficacy with the procedure.

- Perfect for Little Girls by Randi on 4/9/2015
My daughter LOVES princesses/castles...and Veggie Tales, so this seemed like the perfect combination for her! And it was, she absolutely adores it! At 1.5, she's a little younger than the intended audience, but seems to do well with it anyway... the characters are the ideal size for her little hands and she loves playing with her favorite Veggie Characters. I love that it closes for easy carrying as well. She has several other castle playsets, but no others to this, so this is an added bonus! Definitely a hit in our house!
- Fun for pretend play by Belinda on 1/5/2015
I received this for my 2 year old daughter. She enjoys watching Veggie Tales so I knew she'd enjoy playing with the characters. The castle is a good size and easy for her to carry from room to room. It comes with four characters, 2 chairs, a small table and a bed. My daughter enjoyed moving the characters around and sitting them in the chairs. The doors on both the front and back of the castle open and close and there's a little balcony above one set of doors. One of my older boys showed my daughter how to stand Princess Petunia on the balcony and then they'd have one of the other characters stand on the floor and they'd have the two "talk" to each other. It was really cute to watch them play and interact together while using their imaginations. One thing I really like about this set is that when it's time to put it away, all the pieces can be stored inside the castle so they don't get lost. There's a small clasp on the side of the castle that opens that can be latched so it stays closed. My only complaint is that I wish it came with a few more accessories or that add on pieces were available to purchase. The characters are great but a few additional furniture pieces (dresser, couch, etc.) would have added to the set and allowed for even more creativity. Overall, it's a fun toy that encourages imaginative play and my daughter enjoys it.

Unsure how to post thumbnail so I just post link.
My current WW Monk UI
I really like this UI. Nice and clean
Two suggestions though:
1. Reduce the size of the spacing between your buffs in the top right, and the actionbar on the right. I would personally make them the same distance apart as the actionbars at the bottom centre.
2. The class coloured gradient bars at the bottom of the screen could be improved.
I feel it is easier to demonstrate how I would improve it than to type out how I would do it
Here is an example I quickly made on Microsoft Paint:
Looks a bit more structured
Fixed the thumbnail for you, too.

posting for above poster ^^
Definitely have a lot of things going on in this UI.
1. Is it necessary for you to see your stance bar? Think you could possibly hide it until mouse over?
2. You've got a lot of various fonts going on in the UI. Might wanna try and find a good font that you're currently using and stick with that one to keep it looking uniform.
3. Things just kinda seem all over the place to me personally, but if that works for you, then awesome!
Overall, I think the coloration is good, but black on black is kinda rough when one is trying to figure out if they are losing/gaining health. All in all, it's definitely a good start.
Don't know about Recount but it is easily done with Skada Damge Meters.
That's how I do it.
Last edited by Diphal; 2012-10-10 at 08:04 AM.
I'm still working on the vocal warnings. And ignore the EXP bar at the top. Forgot to disable it after leveling my alt! -.-
Good day. Just added final part to my UI, cooldown addon, might as well showcase it

Last Modified: Tuesday, November 12, 2013 at 9:14 a.m.
The popular jam band Widespread Panic will be one of the headline acts for the 2014 N.C. Azalea Festival, festival officials announced Wednesday morning.
Who: Widespread Panic at the Azalea Festival
When: 8 p.m. April 11-12
Where: Cape Fear Community College lot next to the Schwartz Center, 601 N. Front St., downtown Wilmington
Tickets: $60 per night, available online starting 9 a.m. Saturday and at the Azalea Festival office, 5725 Oleander Drive, starting 9 a.m. Monday
Details: 794-4650 or www.ncazaleafestival.org
Photo Galleries
"Panic is about to set in, in Wilmington," festival President Steve Coble joked during a press conference in the Wilma W. Daniels Gallery at Cape Fear Community College.
The band previously played the Azalea Festival in 1996, Coble noted, appearing with the Connells.
Widespread Panic will play two shows, at 8 p.m. Friday, April 11, and at 8 p.m. Saturday, April 12, in the Cape Fear Community College lot next to the Schwartz Center in downtown Wilmington – the same venue where the Avett Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd played to capacity crowds at the 2013 Festival.
Admission is $60 per night. Tickets go on sale online at 9 a.m. Saturday at www.ncazalea festival.org. Tickets will also be on sale beginning Monday at the Azalea Festival office at 5725 Oleander Drive. The office will be open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
All tickets are general admission, standing room only. The concerts are rain-or-shine events, and no refunds will be offered due to weather.
Originally formed in 1986 in Athens, Ga., the band took its name from original guitarist Mike Houser's nickname, "Panic," for his frequent anxiety attacks before shows. Famed for its live performances, Widespread Panic has been compared to The Grateful Dead and Phish for its improvisational onstage sessions.
The band's current lineup includes singer-guitarist John Bell, keyboardist John "JoJo" Hermann, percussionist Domingo "Sunny" Ortiz, bass player Dave Schools, drummer Todd Nance and Fayetteville native Jimmy Herring, who joined Widespread Panic as lead guitarist in 2006.
A Wilmington tradition since 1948, the Azalea Festival will be celebrated April 9-13 in 2014.

This is a two day fireworks adventure over the July 4th holiday in United States. What you are seeing has most likely occurred over a thousand times throughout United States during this holiday period. It started late night Friday and ended at 3 AM Monday. The July 4th holiday is all about the fireworks and I am proud to be a part of it. This is a long series as you ride along with me and feel a part of the experience. Please watch the clips in order.

EUGENE, Ore. – Two of Oregon's pole vaulters set personal bests and all four Duck vaulters cleared set seasonal bests on a day of highlights before a sun-drenched 5,244 fans Friday at the Oregon Twilight.
"This is one of my favorite events with the kids' half lap, the middle school mile, and the last races for the seniors," said head coach Robert Johnson. "I have to admit I got a little emotional when they were listing off all of the girls' accomplishments."
On a night were Oregon honored its 19 seniors before an appreciative Historic Hayward Field, the Ducks were particularly impressive in both pole vaults.
Sammie Clark set a personal best in winning the women's pole vault with a clearance at 13-6.25/4.12m. Not only was that a one inch improvement for the junior from North Bend, Ore., but she also moved up to a tie for fifth on Oregon's all-time list.
"The conditions were perfect, definitely the best all year," said Clark. "I didn't want the scene to go away. The fans were great, too.
"I definitely had a rough start (to the season) because I no-heighted my first three meets but that only inspired me. I'm excited about the future."
The Duck men went 1-2 in their competition. Matt Hidalgo won after a third attempt clearance at 17-0.25/5.20m. The freshman from Banks, Ore., set a personal best by five inches.
"It felt amazing," said Hidalgo, who became the first Duck to clear 17-0 since 2010 (Colin Witter-Tilton). "It's always fun to jump well.
Teammate Austin Ouderkirk was second in the pole vault at 16-8.75/5.10m, as the senior from Newport, Ore., set a seasonal best in his final appearance at Historic Hayward Field. Even senior decathlete Kevin Godfrey got in on the act with a seasonal best clearance at 15-5/4.70m that was good for fifth.
"The conditions were perfect; 70 degrees, tail-wind, sunny," said Ouderkirk. "It was a dream. It is always amazing to jump here at Hayward. There is definitely some Hayward magic. The fans were great, they know a lot."
Liz Brenner continued to improve in the women's javelin. The freshman from Portland, Ore., finally bettered her high school best of 155-11 in winning with a mark of 157-10/48.11m. That was the eighth best throw in school history.
"I'm getting into a better flow," said Brenner. "I've been able to go to more practices and meets, which is good. I'm still using a short approach and probably will keep using it until next year. I'm just getting as many reps as possible.
"I'm glad I beat my high school PR. The more I do this event the better I'll be. I am focused and excited I might get to score some points for the Ducks."
Sam Crouser was just as impressive in the men's javelin, winning with a seasonal-best throw of 249-10/76.15m. That was the third-best throw in the NCAA this season.
"I'm pretty pleased with them, especially with this wind," said the sophomore from Gresham, Ore. "Practice carried over to the meet, so I was really happy with that.
"I was working on the flight today and keeping it low in the wind. I was a lot more consistent today than I have been, so I was pretty happy with today."
Also in the javelin, former Duck Cyrus Hostetler, a 2012 U.S. Olympian, took second in his 2013 debut with a throw of 245-10/74.93m. Current UO thrower Ethan Powell, a junior from Tenmile, Ore., took fourth in the event with a seasonal-best throw of 216-7/66.01m.
Oregon earned a victory in the men's hammer with Greg Skipper winning at 213-11/65.20m.
The Ducks swept the two 4x100 meter relays. The men's team of Dior Mathis, Arthur Delaney, B.J. Kelley and Mike Berry just missed a seasonal best with a win in 40.26. The team of Phyllis Francis, English Gardner, Jenna Prandini and Chizoba Okodogbe won the women's race in 44.34.
Defending Pac-12 champion Johnathan Cabral was a winner in the men's 110 meter hurdles in 13.63 in his final race before the conference meet.
Senior Maggie Pietka walked off a winner in her final meet at Historic Hayward Field. The senior from Vancouver, Wash., won the triple jump with a leap of 38-2.25/11.64m.
Duck football player Dior Mathis captured the men's 100 meters in 10.70, with fellow football player B.J. Kelley second 10.85.
Caleb Kruse was the winner of the men's triple jump in 46-4/14.12m.
In the men's high jump, freshman Bradley Laubacher set a personal best in a runner up finish, clearing 6-11/2.11m.
Three former Ducks were also winners on Friday.
Olympian Matthew Cenrowitz won the 800 meters in 1:47.95.
"Anytime you get a win, it's a good race," said Centrowitz, now competing for the Nike Oregon Project. "I definitely competed well, but I'd like to come away with a stronger race.
"Coming back where I used to run makes it that much more special. I think I took it for granted when I was going to school here."
Britney Henry, now competing for ASTF, won the women's hammer with a throw of 223-1/68.00m. Oregon's Jillian Weir took second in that event with a personal best throw of 197-3/60.13m that was the third best in school history.
"As the years have progressed, it's awesome to come back to Eugene," said Henry, an All-American for the Ducks in 2006-07. "The crowd still knows me and it's nice to escape San Diego for a little bit."
Galen Rupp, the 2012 Olympic silver medalist at 10,000 meters, took the men's 3,000 meters in 7:46.34, with fellow UO alum Luke Puskedra fourth in 7:59.33.
