Senior Briggs Barrios was one of three graduating Green Wave student-athletes to earn the prestigious Tulane 34 Award.
May 16, 2014
NEW ORLEANS - As the 2013-14 academic year comes to an end and commencement is less than 24 hours away, three graduating Green Wave student-athletes were recognized among the top members of the Class of 2014 as baseball student assistant Briggs Barrios, volleyball letterwinner Amber Bennett and All-Conference USA women's tennis standout Klara Vyskocilova earned the prestigious Tulane 34 Award.
The Tulane 34 Award is presented annually to 34 graduates who have distinguished themselves throughout their collegiate lives. Students are recognized for their exemplary leadership, service and academic excellence. Named for the year the University was founded, 1834, Tulane 34 is among the most coveted honors bestowed upon the student body.
A three-year letterman and one-year member of the Green Wave coaching staff, Barrios earned the award after twice being tabbed Tulane Male Scholar Athlete of the Year for maintaining the highest grade point average among all male Green Wave student-athletes. A native of Metairie, La., who earned a degree in finance and management, his academic excellence resulted in his selection to participate in the invitation-only Darwin Fenner Student Managed Fund honors seminar.
In addition to his time on the diamond and in the classroom, Barrios helped organize the baseball team's Versus Cancer event, which raised more than $10,000 for childhood cancer efforts in the New Orleans area. He was awarded the 2014 Tulane Athletics Torch Award for excellence in service to the University, the Department of Athletics and the community.
Bennett spent three seasons as a member of both Tulane's indoor and sand volleyball teams and was elected as the school's female representative to Conference USA's Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC). In addition, the native of West Columbia, S.C., chaired the "Let's SAAC Hunger!" food drive, helped organize fundraising among C-USA schools for Tulane's Devon Walker and volunteered with Court Watch NOLA and the NCAA Samaritan's Feet program.
She received the C-USA Spirit of Service Award for her work in the community as well as in the classroom, where she was named to the Dean's List and the C-USA Commissioner's Honor Roll. Bennett completed her degree in business management with a minor in legal studies in business.
Vyskocilova, meanwhile, is a two-year letterwinner on the court where she earned first-team All C-USA honors each season and claimed C-USA Player of the Year as a senior in 2014. After posting a 19-8 overall record and finishing the year No. 70 in the nation to go with a No. 5 ranking in the Southern Region a year ago, Vyskocilova was even better in her final collegiate season as she posted a 20-6 overall mark to date - including a flawless 13-0 mark during the spring season - and will participate in the NCAA Women's Championship from May 21-26 in Athens, Ga.
A native of Klatovy, Czeck Republic, who earned a degree in finance, she claimed C-USA Player of the Week honors three times during her career, was twice named to the C-USA Commissioner's Honor Roll and was voted to the 2014 C-USA All-Academic Women's Tennis Team. Vyskocilova also worked on the Greening Yulman project, which aimed to help build the Green Wave's new on-campus football stadium while benefiting the environment and improving the University's LEED ranking.
Tulane's Unified Commencement Ceremony is slated for Saturday, May 17, at 9 a.m. in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Highlighting the day's festivities in the keynote address from internationally acclaimed musician, bandleader, composer and educator Wynton Marsalis.

ZF-5209: Disarm Zend_Mail_Part::__get()
i having some trouble reading mails that have some missing headers. Unlike other classes it is not possible to check if a header exists. I found a __get() method that throws some exceptions which is not very useful if you are using template engines like smarty:
As mentiond above this throws a Zend_Mail_Exception and the rest of the template would not be rendered.
Maybe this is the way you want to use the Zend_Mail_Part::__get, but then there has to be a __isset Method to check if the header exists, without throwing exceptions.
Is that possible?
Kind regards, Daniel
A function "headerExists()" and a proxy __isset were added to Zend_Mail_Part class
I copied to 1.7 branch at SVN r13885
Sorry, not in 1.7.4. I think it will be released in next minor or major.

I made play dough for Israel today. He hasn't had a chance to play with it yet because he took a 3 1/2 hr nap then woke up hungry...
anyways, I remember my mom making this for us and now it's my turn. It doesn't feel like that long ago I forming little creatures
out of home made dough, my how time flies!
Here's the recipe, in case you're in need of a good one:
1 cp flour
1/2 cp salt
2 tlb cream of tartar
1 cp water
1 tlb vegetable oil
In saucepan combine dry ingredients, add water & oil until mixed. Heat mixture
over medium, stirring until dough begins to turn lumpy and thick. Divide into
as many portions as you want and drop 1 or 2 drops food coloring and knead together.
I didn't blend mine completely because I like the swirls of color!

Looking to create the next great garden "it" thing…
Knowing how important is it to draw proper attention to oneself in this crazy, loud, busy internet-freeway of a world, I'd like to announce my latest garden product, the HOSTA LUEGO, a trend-setting new pot design that I've developed for retail nurserys everywhere in an effort to move those tender plants that didn't sell during the growing season, make tons of money, prove that I'm cooler than Bud-Light in a 16oz. can, and duh, that I can think way, way outside of that proverbial old box.
You've probably come to expect pot designs that feature living plants and the aesthetically pleasing textures and color palettes they bring to your little bit of garden heaven. OK, fine. But I would submit that that tired, worn out approach is like, so . . . September, 2012. Furthermore, I would submit that the really cool kids are ready for something totally different this holiday season, something that won't require any care on their part while still making them look both natural and trendy. And don't forget, Zombies are totally cool. Dig?
Enter the Hosta Luego, the hippest new form of merchandise 'cool' is a colorful pot containing a hosta that has succumb to the rigors of approaching winter. Just look at those lines, the textures, the subtle colors. Add a simple red bow and ZOWY baby, these uber-hip gift pots will literally fly out the door like those monkeys in the Wizard of Oz.
And then, come springtime, SUH-PRISE!!! Just imagine it, an actual, bright-leaved, living, growing plant will emerge from the architectural ruins of this lovely designer gift-plant corpse so that its loving owner can anticipate its demise all over again. Love!
Or, if you're one of those hipsters who wants to give something totally unique but are a little afraid of the stigma of paying to ship dirt to your Aunt Marge down in Texas or your nephew Marvin in Moline, perhaps you should consider sending each of them their very own custom-cool version of this: Personalized video greeting and signed book. You supply the name and a few details, I'll supply the smiles. Guaranteed!
Here's a link to that sample video once again, in case you missed it.
Seriously, how much cooler & more personal a gift could you possibly give? For reals?

Volleyball Sweeps Brown, Posts Winning Record In Second Half Of Ivy Season
The Princeton women's volleyball team sent its seniors out with a victory while providing optimism for its future in a 3-0 home win over Brown in its season finale. All four members of the Class of 2014 played in the win, though the entire starting lineup will return for at least one more season.
Princeton avenged an earlier 3-2 loss at Brown with a 25-20, 25-22, 25-19 win over the Bears to finish its season 10-14 overall, 6-8 in the Ivy League. Though Princeton fell a win short of the .500 mark in Ivy League play, the Tigers did double its win total in league play during the second half of the Ivy season.
The play of junior middles Nicole Kincade and Tiana Woolridge were crucial in the Princeton win, as the duo combined for 20 kills with only two errors. Woolridge added a match-high six blocks and hit .500 during the match, while Kincade hit .450.
Sophomore Kendall Peterkin had eight kills for Princeton, while freshman Cara Mattaliano had six kills to go along with 11 digs. Sophomore libero Sarah Daschbach led all players with 21 digs, while freshman setter Lauren Miller had 32 assists and 13 digs.
The four members of the Class of 2014 — Kelsey Janke, Leah Jordan, Chelsea Parker and Christine Renschler — each saw time on the court during their collegiate finale.

Purdue energy academy aims to inspire students
June 22, 2016
Groups of high schoolers eagerly lined up Tuesday morning at Purdue University to test how well their handcrafted wind turbines would perform when stacked against the power of four fans. The kids were competing to create a turbine that would generate the most energy as a part of a challenge for the Duke Energy Academy at Purdue. The annual academy, now in its fifth year, brings in U.S. high school students to learn about renewable energy with hopes they'll be inspired to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields and solve energy challenges. "We want these students to be the leaders of tomorrow," said Pankaj Sharma, managing director of the Purdue Energy Center and Global Sustainability Institute. The academy lasts throughout the week and is hosting 52 students and 27 teachers from mainly Indiana schools, though about 20 percent come from outside states, said Tolu Omotoso, a civil engineering graduate student and coordinator for the academy.Read Full Story

A face takes form during the cutting-edge, 3-D printing process at the National Center for Rapid Technologies (RapidTech), an Advanced Technological Education (ATE) center located at the University of California, Irvine. RapidTech helps researchers and entrepreneurs swiftly design and build product prototypes.
RapidTech has more than 20 pieces of equipment that help both academia and industry adapt modern manufacturing technologies to civil engineering, biology, the arts and other areas that dont typically take advantage of such techniques. It has already produced everything from medical devices to architectural models to entertainment items, as well as serviced traditional sectors such as aerospace and automotive. The center is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and Saddleback College. [Image 24 of 26 related images. See Image 25.]
More About This Image
RapidTech seeks to develop and advance additive manufacturing and related technologies. While the center's primary purpose is teaching students advanced manufacturing techniques and providing low-cost help for businesses, it also specializes in 3-D modeling where users can design and perfect a prototype quickly. For the modeling process, a printer uses digital input from a computer to create a 3-D, solid object that forms in thin layers. To create the object, a printer head exudes a small amount of plastic or other material while making several passes, creating a new layer with each pass, until a recognizable form begins to take shape. In addition to saving time, the modeling process saves money by eliminating the step of forging a metal prototype--and possibly repeating the procedure one or more times to correct imperfections.
Both academia and industry use RapidTech's equipment, adapting modern manufacturing technologies to civil engineering, biology, the arts and other areas that don't normally use this type of technique. For example, Airflow Systems, a small business that designs, builds and sells FAA-certified aircraft equipment, needed vintage aircraft parts that had not been produced in decades. The parts were for a 1938 Japanese Zero fighter plane, slated for inclusion in a restoration project at an aviation museum in Oregon. Working with the original parts, which were pitted, corroded and incomplete, each piece was scanned, defects were corrected and a 3-D representation was produced.
RapidTech has also helped commercial businesses. The center assisted the water sports equipment company Hobie Designs Inc. with developing a carbon fiber paddle based on a partial design, which the lab was able to extend across the entire item. "The 3-D scanning, computer-assisted design and prototyping process helped us deliver this new concept as fast as we could conceive it," said Hobie Designs President Jeff Alter.
And a movie studio in North Hollywood that designs characters for video, animation and films such as "Shrek" and "Harry and the Hendersons" has worked with RapidTech a number of times to create digital sculptures. The studio owner stays in touch with RapidTech to keep abreast of new technologies available using 3-D printing, thus gaining an edge in a very competitive field.
These are just some examples of how rapid prototyping, which is emerging as a core-enabling technology, is supporting the design, development and manufacture of numerous products. [Research supported by NSF grant DUE 11-04305.] (Date of Image: 2006-present)

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kelley79 Love, Love, Love I have been waiting and waiting for the long Anna slipcovers to come back in stock. Once they did, I immediately ordered 4 to cover the side chairs of my formal dining room. The color is linen which is a little darker than pictured. The covers fit in perfectly with the coastal design of my room. They do require a bit of ironing before placing them on the chair, but well worth the look in the end. I couldn't be happier with my purchase and even better that they were on sale. Thank you World Market!!! January 25, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by SHOPGIRLPRO AWESOME LOOK, GREAT VALUE! I recently purchased on store a Greyson table and needed side chairs. Then i decided for the Anna Slipcovered chairs because the easy to clean. Fortunately the covers were on sale and as a Explorer member I had some other coupons and the price was just fabulous! I would buy them anyways because even without the sales and coupons they are very affordable. GREAT QUALITY, AWESOME LOOKS AND FAIR PRICE!!! I Recommend. January 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by evah Easy to put on the chair, and fits like a glove! I love the long slipcovers because they have a great back detail as well. Especially nice for open concept areas of the home! February 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by POG LOVE THESE!!! I have these on my eat in kitchen chairs and I couldn't be happier. Seems to be made well and the look is perfect. Worth every penny! August 2, 2011
Rated 2 out of 5 by souz72 only one problem the slipcovers are well made and do add a nice formal touch to the anna slipcover chair, HOWEVER the color is not at all like that of the slipcover in the photo. it is more of a beige/sand color rather than light tone. luckily, the tones in my dining room are neutral, so i will most likely keep them as there is no other color choice. i advise anyone considering this slipcover to go ahead and make the purchase if they can work a darker shade of beige into their general color scheme.

Cruise ships get a new home
Published: Monday, April 29, 2013 at 2:59 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 29, 2013 at 2:59 p.m.
After spending several years docking in downtown Wilmington, a cruise line's ships will now drop anchor at a marina on the Intracoastal Waterway near Wrightsville Beach.
Every year, American Cruise Lines operates a half-dozen inland cruises between Baltimore and Charleston, S.C.
The Port City is included as a stop, where passengers disembark for a visit to the Bellamy Mansion and a trolley tour of the downtown area.
On Monday, the American Glory, one of the cruise line's ships, was docked at the Bridge Tender Marina off Airlie Road. The white ship, featuring three decks of windows and a rooftop observation deck, loomed above the dock below.
Tripp Brice, the marina's dock master and general manager, said the cruise line will be docking its three ships at the marina for a total of six times this year.
The American Glory holds 49 passengers, according to the cruise line's website. Two other ships, the American Star and the Independence, which carry 100 and 104 passengers, respectively, also operate on the route.
After the downtown tour, the passengers were scheduled to go to Mayfaire Town Center to eat lunch, Brice said.
In the past, the ships traveled up the Cape Fear River to dock in downtown Wilmington, But Brice said that route diverted them far off the Intracoastal Waterway. From Snow's Cut, a ship would have to travel roughly 15 miles north up the Cape Fear River to reach downtown Wilmington.
Brice said it had been about eight years since the ships stopped in the Wrightsville Beach area.

The Order of Special Full-Time Servants appears to be a religious order of Jehovah's Witnesses. What is a religious order in the context of Witness theology? Is it theologically meaningful at all? To what purpose do people join this order? When do they leave? (Do they leave?) How does the whole thing work?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
I spent a great deal of time searching for an answer to this that doesn't make it sound like a scam to avoid taxes and enjoy the benefits of being treated as a religious institution, but I couldn't. As is usually the case, it's a lot easier to find information from those that stand against the Jehovah's Witnesses than it is to find positive information about them.
According to outsiders it's little more than a tax dodge as stated in these first few links.
However... The most complimentary description was found in a legal document from the Oregon Judicial Department Apellate Court This seems a little less inflammatory. It describes them as people that have simply dedicated themselves to ministry, and therefore would function in a way that assists the Church. As such, their right to tax-exempt status is less clear.
However, this question isn't (as far as I know) about their tax-free status, but about what they are, and what their function is. Unfortunately, the following is the best, least inflammatory description I could find. Since they don't have information about themselves online anywhere, this is what I'm settling for providing. It's not first-hand from them, but presumably it's based on first-hand interviews with lawyers that are familiar with the defendants. It's better than nothing.
Full time ministers of Jehovah's Witnesses are those that spend a minimum of 70 hours in some form of Christian service. By far the vast majority of these ministers also work and pay taxes.
A proportionally small number work in the Jehovah's Witness Branch offices and are offered logding and a small allowance and others are missionaries and travelling ministers that also get a small allowance from the organization.
Whether these individual pay taxes dépends on the law of each country but many do not because their income is so very low they are non-taxable.

Architect John Brown wants to see homes built that will serve families for the long term, with a reasonable amount of space to grow in and sustainable features that meet their lifestyles and needs. Wood floors like those in Anderson's rustic Hardwood Gnarly Plank Floor collection would fit right in with his view of how homes should be designed.
''It doesn't have to be fancy. It doesn't have to be expensive," Brown told the Akron Beacon-Journal. "It just has to be easy to live in."
Brown's approach to home design is fashioned after the same premise as the European-based slow cooking trend, which encourages people to savor traditional home cooking by slowing down to appreciate it. By extension, the "slow home" idea combines green building principles and making better use of the space in homes with smaller footprints.
Akron architect Hallie Bowie told the newspaper that relying on good design to solve storage needs, addressing the multiple tasks of a modern family and emphasizing the quality of time spent in the home also fit with Brown's concept.
''It seems to me the slow home has a real values kind of focus,'' Bowie said.
Some examples include having closets instead of empty space in entry areas, not locating a laundry room near a back entry if it interferes with the traffic pattern into the house or having bathrooms that open directly to living areas.
Interaction and imagination
Shannon Honeybloom, author of Making a Family Home, said slow home living bolsters interaction and imagination, not just entertainment and instant information. She advised placing computers in places other than children's play areas and closing off the TV in an armoire to slow the pace of a home.
In her own home, Honeybloom tries to teach her children to appreciate the differences in the seasons.
"We try incorporate what is happening with the seasons, with the natural world in our home in large and small ways," she told RhythmOfTheHome.com. "I have found that my children are very 'in tune' with what is happening seasonally and really yearn to have that recognized through activities and celebrations."
In Brown's design business, the Slow Home Studio in Calgary, Canada, he follows a 10-step checklist to achieving a slow home, with most points emphasizing how to organize space in a meaningful and functional way. For instance, having an easy traffic flow in room design is a priority in space planning.

I wonder if the pyramid is the reason why those two are so hostile towards another human being..I mean, if they're in somewhere like that, wouldn't they see other human being as haven rather than enemy?

This is a pleasant surprise. It has a lot wrong with it -- particularly how it's not only embarrassingly-heavy on the fanservice, but also surprising *bad* at making the fanservice "work" (at least for me) -- but there's something about the way it handles the settings and its mysteries that just seems really, really solid.
It's something about how it has just enough mysteries to be interesting, and unlike, say, Lost, it doesn't keep piling weird stuff on top of weird stuff without explaining everything.
In any case I've read up to the end of volume 14, and the mysteries just keep getting cooler. I'd be a bit surprised if it winds up being about time travel or "bermuda triangle"; as of the end of volume 14 I think it's pretty easy to guess at the general idea of what's going on on the island.
I don't have any guesses as to how specifically the story will wrap up, but I will say that by the end of volume 14 it feels like the story's at about the 60% mark; basically I'd expect that once Yarai's group and Sengoku's group get back together the story will at least have the option of moving into a final arc. (On the other hand, if the author wants to drag it out further that'd be easy to do).

By Dawn Brown, NAMI HelpLine
When someone wishes me a Happy Mother's Day they have no idea what it means to me; if you have an adult child with mental illness perhaps you can understand. Before I could have a happy Mother's Day, I needed to recreate the mother I was and become the mother I needed to be.
When a woman becomes a mother everything changes as we take on the mantle of motherhood. Since there is no job description for mother, we tend to combine different experiences and expectations to create a rosy notion of motherhood. But nothing prepares you for being the mother of someone who develops a mental illness.
As my son began to experience the symptoms of mental illness, I believed as his mother that we could overcome anything, even schizophrenia. I was wrong. I was unprepared. I was doing more harm than good. He was slipping away, and as I stood in the kitchen and looked at the screaming, irrational stranger my son had become, it quickly became obvious that he needed a very different type of mother. Everything changed. My sense of loss was profound. My ability to protect and nurture my child was limited by my lack of knowledge and understanding. I needed to grieve and get my bearings, but mental illness demands action. I didn't know what questions to ask, what people to see, and where to go. I didn't know much, but I knew just enough to reach out to NAMI.
Using a nationwide network of NAMI State Organizations, NAMI Affiliates and a large Web presence, NAMI is ready to help you find information, gain insight and get support when mental illness strikes. NAMI was created by and for people like you and me, and today tens of thousands of volunteers offer themselves to help individuals and their loved ones find recovery and build better lives.
Being the mother of an adult with mental illness required me to become an expert on community mental health support services, psychiatric medications and psychosocial treatments. I learned a whole new vocabulary for a confusing, disjointed system that was adequate at best and harmful at its worst. I graduated from the NAMI Family-to-Family education program, plugged in to a NAMI Family Support Group, added the NAMI HelpLine to my speed dial (1 (800) 950-6264) and learned the art of patience and persistence.
It has been over 10 years since my son was diagnosed with schizophrenia, and everything has changed, including me. Today I am strong and assertive in advocating for my son. My boundaries are clear and defined. I respect him and expect respect. Treatment and medication are non-negotiable. I don't indulge any illusions about what living with a mental illness means. My son and I have been through some very bad times and traveled through many dark places.
I've also learned that my son is not a burden that I must carry through life. His life is his own. Life's lessons are best learned through natural consequences, both good and bad, resulting from our choices. And, I've learned that my son desperately needs me to walk alongside him offering love, support and guidance, as he finds his place in life. I love him dearly. He is doing well. I am very happy to be his mother.
This Mother's Day if I could send every mother who has a child living with mental illness a Happy Mother's Day card it would have this message taken from NAMI's Family-to-Family education program.
Sometimes Love Means Let Go…
- To let go does not mean to stop caring. It means I can't do it for someone else.
- To let go is not to cut myself off. It's the realization I can't control another.
- To let go is to allow someone to learn from natural consequences.
- To let go is to recognize when the outcome is not in my hands.
- To let go is not to care for, but to care about.
- To let go is not to fix, but to be supportive.
- To let go is not to judge, but to allow another to be a human being.
- To let go is not to expect miracles, but to take each day as it comes, and cherish myself in it.
- To let go is not to criticize or regulate anybody, but to try to become what I dream I can be.
- To let go is not to regret the past, but to grow and live for the future. To let go is to fear less and love more.
This Mother's Day, share your video or story and let others know what the day means to you.

Lincoln Steering Wheels
Lincoln Steering Wheels
If you're looking for an add-on for your car that's equally as advantageous to your vehicle's functionality as it is to its style, you'll want to install an aftermarket Lincoln steering wheel. Though steering wheels used to be used only for basic turning and maneuvering, modern steering wheels can offer special features. Extra facets like stereo controls, headlight switches, cruise control panels, and more are often embedded into steering wheels nowadays.
Lincoln racing steering wheels are particularly popular add-ons for drivers who like to access all of their performance controls at their fingertips, and who don't want to deal with a wheel that's too rigid or too automated. Owners who revel in luxury and care more about style should like Lincoln suede steering wheels, which are considerably more comfortable for drivers to rest their hands on. Whether you go with brand name add-ons like JDM steering wheels or something less pricey, chances are you can find a steering wheel that suits your budget and your driving needs all at once.

Gardening Articles: Care :: Tools & Equipment
Maintaining Your Edge (page 3 of 3)
by Beth Marie Renaud
Finishing touches
Once your tools are clean and sharp, they're just about ready for storage. A few more steps at this stage can ensure that your tools will retain their sheen through the winter months.
Clean wood handles with a stiff-bristled brush, and smooth down nicks and splinters with medium-grit sandpaper. Coat wooden handles with boiled linseed oil to help preserve them and prevent splintering and breaking. Sand off the factory varnish and wipe on boiled linseed oil with a cloth; apply several light coats, letting the oil soak in after each application. Wipe off any excess with a dry cloth.
If the plastic handles on your tools are tearing or wearing thin, you can remove the coating with a craft knife and replace it with a liquid or spray plastic coating. It's sold at hardware stores under the name Plastidip. Dip or spray the handles and clamp a metal portion of the tool lightly into a vise and let dry.
Once the handles are in good shape, reassemble your tools. Oil the pivot bolts and adjust them so the blades are tight enough to provide a strong, clean cut. Lubricate all metal blades and the heads of shovels, hoes, and rakes with a light machine oil or a synthetic oil such as Break Free CLP.
Clean, sharp, and properly coated, your tools are now ready for storage. Store them in a dry place away from heat and moisture. Hanging tools is an effective way to keep moisture at bay. Small tools such as pruners will do fine either hung or stored in canvas gardening bags. When spring comes around, you will have a host of tools ready to serve you.
Sharp tips
* Clean all dirt, sap, and rust off your tools before sharpening them.
* Stabilize tools for sharpening by bracing them against a solid surface or clamping them in a vise.
* Sharpen only the beveled side of a blade.
* File the flat side of a blade only to remove burrs.
* Always file in strokes away from your body.
* Don't drag a mill bastard file backward over a
blade on the return stroke.
Advanced techniques
An electric bench grinder is the most efficient way to recover the cutting edges on shovels, spades, hoes, and lawn mower blades. A grinder has a tool-rest platform that enables you to position the tool to achieve a more exacting edge. However, grinders create intense heat, which can compromise the temper of steel, making it brittle. You can also take off too much steel--and fast--with a rapidly spinning grinder wheel. If you do use one, periodically immerse the tool you're sharpening in cold water to cool it down, and take off small amounts of metal at a time. A small grinding wheel attached to an electric hand drill can do the same job as a bench grinder. With either tool, always wear gloves and safety glasses.
1. The first step to reconditioning your pruners is disassembly. Remove the pivot bolt with a wrench and take out the spring--with a screwdriver, if necessary.
2. Clean all sap and dirt out of your pruners with a wire brush and a rag, and then buff
the blades with fine steel wool.
3. Unlike oil or water whetstones, a diamond whetstone does not need to be lubricated. Sharpen pruner blades by swiping them over the whetstone in a curved motion, trying to maintain their original bevel.
4. Coat clean, sharp blades with light machine oil to proetect them against rust.

"I can't even begin to tell you how I proud I am of Enrique and Sebastian," said assistant coach Johan Dorfh. "It was their best performance of the week.

ZF-8951: Zend_Navigation View Helper Menu - allow different active classes for active parents
Ideally my output navigation would look something like this:
First Level
Second Level
I would like to display active parents differently from the active leaf nodes. Since I cannot use CSS markup for li.active:has(li.active) I need a different class for the parent nodes. This is a common use-case for me.
I suggest an amend to the Zend/View/Helper/Navigation/Menu.php
258 // create li element for page
259 $liCss = $page->isActive($recursive)
260 ? ' class="active"'
261 : '';
258 // create li element for page
259 $liCss = $page->isActive($recursive)
260 ? ' class="active"'
261 : '';
new // show active parent
new if (!$recursive && !$page->isActive(false) && $page->isActive(true)) $liCss = ' class="active-parent"';
This will not change the current behaviour for users using setParentActive. Those not using it will get extra classes which will not affect display (unless they happen to be using that class name).
I think this is a very common use-case, so warrants inclusion in the library, rather than simply using a partial menu template.
I suspect my code could be expressed more elegantly. The option could be added as a new configuration parameter.
??I need a different class for the parent nodes.?? I think that would be a BC break in HTML and CSS.
My suggestion:
class="active parent"
In CSS you can write:
I have found a simple solution. I will write some unit tests and the implementation which includes:
- Two new properties {{$_parentClass}} and {{$_renderParentClass}}
- Getter and setter for these properties ({{setParentClass()}}, {{getParentClass()}}, {{setRenderParentClass()}}, {{getRenderParentClass()}})
- Update the methods {{renderMenu()}}, {{_renderMenu()}} and {{_normalizeOptions}}
Patch and unit tests added.
Patch fails to apply
I'm also a little concerned that adding a class will result in unexpected styling. Maybe name the new class something like zf-nav-parent ?
Or "menu-parent"?
Fixed on trunk (25214) and release-1.12 (25215)
Standard parent class is "menu-parent".

I want a website that lets me charge clients a specific amount one-time or recurring billing for a specific amount. Where do I go?
I love freshbooks too, but I cant bill by credit card on there. I want something where I can store CC info and charge for purchases.
Right, but that really isn't what I'm looking for. I'm looking for something like Freshbooks + CC checkout on site (not a third party). Something that does residual billing/charging and/or one-time billing/charges

We already have tons of members and it's growing everyday
Each of our events are packed with friendly, high quality people every time!
Most of our members make new friends and new dates every single time they go to our events!!
What kind of results should you expect from our HIGHLY Effective Events?
Our members that attend our events get the results they are looking for. In fact, most members leave our events with an average of 4 new friends and 2 new dates per event! This can be you too! You can get these results just by attending one event!
What is Speed Friending?
It's kind of like Speed-Dating, except, people meet up for friends, dates or both, unlike Speed Dating which is just meeting people for dates. Picture our event like a giant icebreaker for everyone that attends. During the event you will quickly talk with multiple people and not stay in a conversation with any one person too long. At the end of our events, you can get into conversations with people that YOU want to talk to. Our events give attendees a good chance to meet many new people that are local in your town in a fast, fun, and structured way! If you are looking to make new friends around town, then look no further! Sign up and become a member today!
Why meeting people other ways just don't work...
If you are looking to meet more people, make new friends, or find a new date, people typically go out to public places like bars, coffee shops, networking parties, public events. Most of these places are filled with people that already know each other. You typically will try to meet someone you don't know and that usually has friends already with them. It can be awkward to get into a conversation just to get a chance of making a new friend or date. In order to meet a new person you often have to have courage to break into groups of people that already know each other. Not so with Speed Friending Events. The organizer gives everyone at the event a multitude of icebreakers so that social anxiety melts away and everyone gets to meet each other.
Also, even when you approach and get into a new conversation, you may quickly find you have nothing in common and now you have to figure a way to get out your conversation. With Speed Friending Events, your conversations are short so you can quickly find the people you like the most and have longer conversations with them right there the same night! It's very low pressure and fun!
So walk me through the evening...
Speed Friending Events, brought to you by www.SpeedFriendingEvents.com , is where you get lots of people in a room, and you each have around two minutes to ask each person you are paired with questions. There are rules to this kind of event of course to keep things lively and fun. You will meet most everyone at each event. It is a great fun new way to make lots of new friends quickly.
At the end, you can choose to socialize afterwards, exchange contact information, hang out, and do things afterwards. Its a super fast way to meet people and it's entirely possible that you form lasting friendships at these events. There's nothing like it. Within 1 event which lasts about an hour and a half, you will have met almost everyone in the group which is usually 20-60 people. What you do with your time after your Social Speed Friending experience is up to you, but most people hang out, chat, exchange numbers, and form friendships. Join us and welcome!! The mission for this group is to make the best Speed Friending Event Group Ever!!
What is the difference between Speed Friending Events and Speed Dating?
In Speed Dating expectations are high to find an attractive partner. Speed Dating also charges 35$ per person, where with us, you get the the same benefits, plus you're more likely to find dates with us than Speed Dating, and you get the benefit of also making a lot of friends too. By attending even one event, our surveys say our members are getting an average of 2 dates and 4 friends each event they attend.
Also in Speed Dating, people are often disappointed by the number of people that show and the quality of people that show. In their events if you don't like someone, you have to stay locked into an 8 minute conversation where you are given no instruction on what to say to the other person; this can sometimes be awkward. Our solution to this with Speed Friending Events is you will have very short interactions and our events are structured in ways to keep conversation lively all the time. At our events, you will quickly talk with multiple people and not stay in a conversation with any one person too long. At the end of our event you can get into conversations with people that YOU want to get into. The event is structured in a way so that you get an icebreaker with almost everyone in the room!
In Speed Friending Events our members attend for a variety of reasons, some are looking for new friends, others looking for roommates, social network connections, some are looking for dates. At the end of the event participants feel like they all know each other because the event acts a HUGE icebreaker. Lively conversation always flows easily helping everyone forming new friendships all over the place at our events.
Our Satisfaction Guarantee!
For all of our Speed Friending Events we offer our 'Match' Satisfaction Guarantee.
We are so confident you will make new friends and connections at all of our events that are offering you a 100% refund, if you don't make at least 1 new great connection or even if you are just simply dissatisfied with any of our events.

Firm says it needs the savings to focus on commercialization of Rhucin, its lead replacement therapy for HAE. [© London_England - Fotolia.com]
Pharming is saving €10 million (about $12.35 million) worth of cash through the partial spin-out of its DNage subsidiary back to the latter's former shareholders. The deal essentially settles €10 million worth of future earn-out payments to former DNage shareholders in the form of five million Pharming shares and a 49% stake in the age-related diseases therapeutics business. Pharming says it aims to sell off even more of DNage once new investors have been found and will retain only a minority holding in the firm. In the meantime DNage will be provided with limited bridge funding.
Reducing the financial commitments to the DNage operation means Pharming can focus its resources on the commercialization of its lead recombinant protein product, Rhucin®, explains Sijmen de Vries, M.D., CEO. "Our priority is the commercialization of Rhucin for acute HAE [hereditary angioedema] attacks and the clinical development of C1 inhibitors for the follow-on indications in the field of kidney transplantation," says Dr. de Vries. "The [restructuring] will provide for optimal allocation of our resources to the Rhucin/C1 franchise, with the objective of making Pharming financially sustainable on the basis of future revenues from these priority projects."
Rhucin is a recombinant human C1 esterase inhibitor, which is currently undergoing regulatory review by the European regulatory authorities as a replacement therapy for patients with HAE. In December 2009, the firm started its pre-BLA process for Rhucin with the FDA. Pharming already has marketing/distribution agreements in place for the product throughout the EU and in additional European countries. The most recent of these agreements, signed in 2010, granted Swedish Orphan Biovitrum a license to distribute Rhucin in 24 EU countries as well as in Norway, Iceland, and Switzerland.
Pharming says it expects to initiate the clinical phase of development for its C1 inhibitor product in the field of transplant rejection during the first half of 2010.
DNage is focused on the development of novel therapeutics that target the nucleotide excision repair DNA repair system. The firm was acquired by Pharming in 2006. DNage's lead product is Prodarsan®, a mixture of small molecules in development initially for treatment of premature ageing diseases in patients suffering from Cockayne Syndrome. A Phase I trial with Prodarsan has been successfully completed, and additional clinical trials are in the planning, according to the firm. The company projects starting a Phase III trial by late 2010.

I was thinking this morning about the players who have come through ISU under Hoiberg's tenure and how much BETTER many of them became as they progressed through their time in Ames.
I'm not just talking about players with a "troubled" past like White and Lucious but also guys like McGee and Babb who were a full step-change better their senior years. Ejim last year made this jump and now guys like Kane and Hogue are playing well-above their expectations based on past performance (granted they are in different leagues this year).
I've also seen playing time improve and regress for players along with their performance (see McGee for the former and Gibson for the latter). From my playing days in high school I can fully appreciate both the fact that CFH's staff invests in players not in the starting 5 but also rewards them for performance.
I haven't read alot about this topic and think it is an underrated part of the success we have had in recent years.
If I was a senior in HS or a transfer considering ISU, that would be something to look at beyond play style, facilities, etc.
Basketball is like poetry in motion, cross the guy to the left, take him back to the right, he's fallin' back, then just J right in his face. Then you look at him and say, "What?" -- Jesus Shuttlesworth (Ray Allen) - He Got Game
The biggest improvement you didn't even mention. Naz Long last year I didnt think could play for drake and this year hes the man and I still think will be a starter before the years done.
I agree. There is also a tie in with this concept with the team we played yesterday, Texas Tech. Tubby Smith was run out of Minnesota and one of the reasons was that players did not seem to improve under his watch and along with that there were continued middle of the road results. I believe the 13-0 start is tied in strongly with player improvement and not just improved recruiting of players.
DG was crazy good his SR year too. I was glad he had a year to show cyclonenation how good he could be.
I think he does a great job developing players and a large part of that is putting them in a position to succeed, something that the previous HC was not as good at. CFH builds the system around the players instead of trying to fit the players into the system. Now guys get to showcase what they're good at. It makes the whole team better which leads to wins and boosts confidence which, IMO, is the single most important factor in turning an average player into a good or great player.
DG is all you need to watch to see this. DG has the talent before Fred showed up - but Fred and staff molded that very, very well
Completely agree on the Long and Garrett comments... I didn't want my post to get TLDR.
CFH is recruiting prototype NBA PG/SG hybrids - fast, lanky, handles, and smart - and molding them to their best abilities.
I would never want go against anybody who gets minutes on a Hoiberg team in pickup ball.

He also got the most of Scotty's potential, and Clyburn's progression from raw talent to impact-player-within-the system between November and March was impressive.
Fred runs an NBA system, which is another way of saying Fred does not run a system. He teaches his players how to maximize their offensive potential as a team by recognizing the individual talents of the players on the floor. Everyone shares the ball, and everyone gets good looks. It's a golden age.
It would be interesting to hear from some former coaches whose players ended up with us, particularly if those coaches are no longer with their teams and might be more likely to be honest in their evaluation of the players. We see it, but I wonder if they see it (and would admit it).
That above said is all true. However, the shooting percentages of our transfers by a previous thread showed the players stayed about the same. If they shot well at other schools, they continued at about the same pace - Babb, Clyburn, JakeA, Booker, Kane, etc. However, it seems assists and rebounds and passing is what improves about our players.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.

When chasing down a leader in a Nascar race, the guy chasing often takes the opposite strategy of the leader - risk/reward.
Seems like ISU MBB and Fred have done the same.
I just think back to when he was hired and give total genius credit to Pollard and whoever else played a major role in the decision making on that. Clearly knew something most others did not.
Really hoping Dorsey-Walker makes that jump like Naz did. The potential is there. IMO he just needs minutes. I think he could be scoring about the same as Naz if he played the same amount of minutes.
I think the best example so far is DG. Let's be honest, if GMAC had stayed as coach, it is very unlikely that DG would now be playing for the Jazz. It's that simple.
I wish Royce had stayed another year or two. Not just for ISU's sake, but because I think if he had stayed his skill set would have developed to something so valuable that an NBA team would work out any problems with his issues that they needed to do, in order for him to play. I think he thought they should do that anyway, but after only 1 solid year, he was still kind of an unproven entity for them.

-Be kind. That is something you will never regret. You will never say to yourself when you are old "I wish I was not good to that person".
All coaches in all sports should follow his lead... eh hmmm football ... He takes guys and lets the season play out to their individual and team strengths. He adapts to everything he has. Fred will always be successful doing that.

This was my candy swag from the last night I went Trick Or Treating. Pretty good for my last haul, I'd say!
Happy Halloween everyone!

This was my candy swag from the last night I went Trick Or Treating. Pretty good for my last haul, I'd say!
Happy Halloween everyone!
Now today I have the Peeps Dark Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Pumpkin to review! I like how Peeps makes a milk and dark chocolate version of each so people can adhere to their preferences. This one too has awesome Halloween colors and iconography on it.
This was similar to the Milk Chocolate pumpkin, but this one was odd as there was a thick, sticky orange syrup all over the pumpkin when I opened it. Strange. I guess the marshmallow peed itself? I bought a second one of these to check if it had the same issue, but my second one was clean. It looks like the first was a fluke. Anyways, the chocolate is nice and dark, with a subtle sweetness and rich flavor.
Another great version of this Peep, so really it all comes down to what kind of chocolate you prefer.

Halloween is just around the corner, and that means lots of Halloween candy! I love this time of year, as Halloween, as with any candy lover knows, is the best holiday. I've tried hard to find new and exciting Halloween candy to review for the blog, but most of what I've seen has been a re-hash from last year. *sigh* What's a candy blogger to do? Well, thankfully, Peeps has given me something new to review. Behold, the Peeps Milk Chocolate Covered marshmallow Pumpkin!
The pumpkins have a wonderfully festive package. Great use of Halloween colors and shapes and showing the Chocolate Peep pumpkin in all of it's glory. What cool is that when I take the peep out it's shaped just liked the image of the front of the package. You don't see that often.
A pumpkin shaped marshmallow, flat on the back side, with triangular nose and eyes. The milk chocolate smells milky and sweet, and is the real thing according to the ingredients.
My first bite was similar to the chocolate covered Easter Peep back in the spring. I was surprised to find that the interior marshmallow was not the same as the marshmallow used in peeps. It lacks that signature sugar crust we love so much, along with the fact that it's bright orange, unlike traditional Peep's pristine white interior.
These are festive and fun so if you're in the mood for a chocolate covered marshmallow, this is a good bed. If you want a good chocolate covered Peep tho, I recommend you getting a package of the pumpkin ones and hand dipping them at home.

Mixing some Halloween M&Ms into brownie batter. I love how two of them are smiling at us.
I am sad! Today I review the last of the See's Limited Edition flavors for the year. Hopefully it's a trend they continue to keep up, but for now it's the last one. Today's offering was sent to me as a sample, and it's Deep Dark Chocolate Truffle. The description reads: "Dark chocolate blended with semi-sweet cocoa powder and cream drenched in premium dark chocolate". Yummy!
First off, my apologies for a lack of an original photo this entry. I am currently driving cross-country because I am moving to Los Angeles. I received these samples once all my photography equipment was packed up. So for once I'm using a photo given to me from See's.
The truffles are circular in shape, and are about 3/4 of an inch tall. A nice little chocolate tower, as so to speak. The chocolate enrobing is a gorgeous deep, rich chocolate color with three chocolate stripes decorating the top. The aroma of the truffle is a very deep and rich chocolatey scent, full of nice notes of cocoa, coffee and cream.
The first bite is lovely. The chocolate shell easily gives way to a rich interior which is a truffle in the best sense. It's both dense and creamy, with a wonderfully smooth texture that isn't slick or greasy. The dark chocolate is beautifully chocolatey, with notes of coffee, cream, and hazelnuts. There's no fruitiness or acidity in this flavor, which is what some people struggle with in dark chocolate. Overall it's incredibly decadent and wonderful flavor, which is a testament to Sees since the flavor is really simple, yet it's executed beautifully.
Out of all the flavors I tried out of this limited edition run, I think this one falls in second place as my favorite after the Black Forest Truffle. This is a flavor that really captures the idea of a truffle in my mind: something that's incredibly chocolatey and rich to eat. I can't wait to have one with my coffee in the morning, I'd imagine it'd be a great combination. So if you can find these, I recommend them!
CONTEST: I have another two gift certificates from See's to give away! It's for one pound of these chocolate, and can be used in their stores or by phone at (800-895-7337). So how do you enter? Please comment on this post by Friday the 29th at noon, PST (since I'll be on the west coast now!) and share your favorite type of Halloween candy. I'll choose a winner randomly from those who enter. Best of luck!

ZF-2113: $where not properly initialized in _cascadeDelete()
The variable $where is not properly initialized in the reference map loop in _cascadeDelete():
should be
case self::CASCADE: $where = array();```
Apart from the fact that the variable isnt initialized correctly itself, the where clauses are just added to the $where stack for each reference loop.
Is there any reason why this bug isn't fixed so far (its still unfixed in 1.5.0RC3)? This makes working with references impossible...
Please categorize/fix as needed.
Resetting 'fix version priority' and 'fix version' to be re-evaluated for next release.
Must Have for Next Mini Release
~jsorgalla], if you were to [submit a CLA, you could commit fixes like these yourself and increase the impact of your contributions to ZF! Of course, thank you for the report! :)
Solved in SVN r11042. I fix not only _cascadeDelete function but also _cascadeUpdate function in /Zend/Db/Table/Abstract.php .
Because _cascadeUpdate function has also same problem as _cascadeDelete function , I think.
Please merge this to the 1.6 release branch.

ZF-7832: Zend_Service_Amazon_Ec2_Securitygroups only returns one IP address per port/range
The describe() method returns the details of the security group, but it only returns one IP address per port. For example, if I've locked down port 80 so that only two specific IP addresses can access that port (my laptop and my iPhone, for example), describe() only returns one of the addresses. The address returned seems to be the last one I assigned to the group for that port or range. If I display the security group in the AWS Web console, I can see them all. I can't tell from the AWS documentation if this is a limitation in what Amazon returns or if it's a bug in Zend. The PHP source looks correct, fwiw.
This was indeed a bug. I was only returning the last ip address. This is now resolved and merged into the 1.9 release branch.

It seems due to some logistic issues construction is very slow in tropico 4 (most of the time builders are idle with a long list of jobs). Is there any tips how to improve their productivity?
Make your workers spend less time walking.
Have skilled builders.
A skilled builder puts up structures much faster than a neophyte builder.
Rushing the actual construction.
Did I mention that building Garages will help?
(If you have the Modern Times DLC, a network of Metro Stations can help, but those get expensive pretty quickly; they're much better for tying together two different "towns" than getting your people from one block to the next.)
The obvious solution is to build more construction offices. Whilst this doesn't actually improve the efficiency of them (which I agree is pretty terrible, lazy lazy workers) it does in my experience get building work completed faster. It is especially effective if you build them at opposite ends of your settlement.
Finally, make sure that the work mode of the construction office is set to 'sweat shop' (default work mode) rather than 'take it easy' to make sure that they work a full day.
I've just noticed that a more thorough review was given in this question.
If most of your workers are idle with a long list of jobs, then there probably aren't enough trucks in your city to transport all of the goods and people. Build some garages to remedy the situaiton.
In addition, some other things that could speed up construction:
Most of the construction time is not in building time, but in transportation. Builders get there quick, but they may get back slowly. Or they might be sick and hungry or spend a lot of time away.
Build garages in faraway areas, especially for things like oil and mines which tend to be far away from the city. Construction will slow to a halt if they're walking back from all the way across the island!
Place construction offices near your city center. That is, make sure that there's enough housing for builders right behind the office. Try to place the church, clinic, market/farm nearby as well.
Quick build your construction offices and garages. Both are relatively cheap, and the production boost is almost worth it. There are plenty of faraway buildings which are not worth the transportation time as well, such as farms and fishing. Builders aren't cheap either; they're a lot of mouths to feed, so later in the game when you're making a lot of money, you should consider rushing cheap buildings instead of building a third construction office.
